Whitetail Landscapes - The American Chestnut Comeback: Restoration, Deer Habitat, and the GMO Question

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:02 +0000

This episode of Maximize Your Hunt delves into the restoration of the American chestnut, a tree that once thrived across North America but was nearly wiped out by a blight in the early 20th century. Host Jon Teater discusses the differences between transgenic and hybrid chestnuts with experts Dr. Andy Newhouse and Tim Russell, exploring the science behind genetic modification, public perception of GMOs, and the ecological importance of chestnuts. The conversation emphasizes the need for community involvement in restoration efforts and the potential for future research to enhance our understanding of chestnut management.

Takeaways

The American chestnut was once a dominant species in North America.
Transgenic chestnuts are developed to resist blight more effectively than hybrids.
Public perception of GMOs can be negative, but education is key.
Restoration efforts require careful planning and community involvement.
Deer can significantly impact the growth of young chestnut trees.
Transgenic trees can cross-pollinate with wild types, aiding restoration.
Research on chestnuts can lead to new ecological insights.
Planting hybrids can provide immediate benefits for wildlife.
The regulatory process for transgenic trees is rigorous and necessary.
Support for organizations like ACR is crucial for restoration efforts.

DJ is a Michigan-native, host of The Method Podcast, and one heck of a mobile hunter. The guys discuss DJ's journey into mobile hunting, the importance of micro movements as opposed to huge movements, what he looks for when E-scouting an out of state property, why he prefers in-season scouting over post-season scouting, what deer sign he locks in on, how and if he uses trail cameras, and how he prioritizes hunt/life balance every year. If you've ever thought about chasing whitetails in another state, this episode is for you!

A massive thank you to DJ for coming on the show and sharing his knowledge. Be sure to go check out The Method Podcast on all podcast platforms, and follow along with DJ and his season on social media @drileyjr and @methodpodcast

Hound Dog Network - Home

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:23:47 +0000

Sometimes it only takes an hour down the road to feel like you’ve stepped into a different world.

In this episode, I talk about a recent trip back to where I grew up—spending time fishing, reconnecting with old friends, and being reminded of what “home” really means. Not just a place you live, but a place that shaped you.

That trip sparked a deeper thought—about hounds, and how even the best dogs operate differently when they’re back on familiar ground.

There’s a lesson in that for all of us.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 08:00:20 +0000

Unlock the secrets that could dramatically change your deer hunting game in this deeper dive with seasoned expert Brandon Barlow, aka Mr. 70 Rule. Discover how years of trail camera data and meticulous scouting challenge myths about moon phases, attractants, and travel corridors—insights that could unlock more daylight bucks and healthier fawns than ever before.

Ever wonder why some land rich in sign produces little during the rut while others, seemingly less ideal, hit daylight consistently? Brandon reveals how focusing on bedding areas, natural scrapes, and understanding subtle terrain edges can turn your approach into a high-success, commitment-driven strategy. He breaks down the science of soil crusts, scent dispersal, and the importance of both data and mindset—offering a fresh perspective that bucks the traditional narratives of moon influence and seasonal tactics.You'll discover:

Why "spot within a spot" is more than just a saying, and how deer use these edges for security and travel.
Practical techniques to locate and improve natural scrapes without attractants, reducing fawn mortality and predator interest.
How focused, high-odds hunting in bedding zones, combined with a commitment to data, can lead to more consistent success with fewer trips, fewer mistakes, and more big bucks on the ground.
Brandon’s tips for camera maintenance, setting realistic expectations for deer movement patterns, and the importance of scent control inside bedding sanctuaries.
Why the moon has no impact—verified by data across five seasons and hundreds of deer hours—and how to leverage this to hunt smarter, not harder.

Hound Dog Network - Lessons Without the Leash

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 22:10:46 +0000

There’s a different kind of bond between a handler and a police K9—one built on long hours, shared risk, and a level of trust you don’t fully understand until you’ve lived it.

How our dogs can read us before you even make a move.

How they pick up on things you don’t realize you’re showing.

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 08:00:51 +0000

In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down a recent weekend behind the bow where the focus wasn’t on building or changing anything but simply verifying.

Because at this point in the season, it’s not about chasing perfection it’s about confirming what’s already there.

We talk about what it actually means to trust your setup, your process, and your execution, whether you’re preparing for TAC, ASA, or the whitetail woods. If you’ve ever questioned your gear or found yourself second-guessing a shot, this episode will help you simplify your approach, build confidence through confirmation, and step into the season ready to execute.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - The Grouse Hunter’s Life: Cover, Cuts, and Constant Scouting

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 08:00:50 +0000

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Tom McPherson, a diehard grouse hunter from western Pennsylvania, for a deep dive into one of the most challenging — and rewarding — pursuits in the upland woods. Tom shares how his passion for grouse hunting developed over time, eventually leading him into running bird dogs and traveling across the Northeast and upper Midwest in search of better bird numbers. The conversation explores the unique nature of grouse hunting, from unpredictable flushes and fast shooting to the role of dogs in locating birds that often prefer to run instead of fly.

The discussion also takes a deeper turn into habitat, conservation, and the long-term outlook for grouse in Pennsylvania. Tom explains how timber management, forest age diversity, and large-scale habitat work — often supported by organizations like the Ruffed Grouse Society — are critical to sustaining and rebuilding populations. From breaking down maps and identifying productive cover to committing nearly year-round effort for a six-week season, this episode highlights the dedication required to chase grouse and the bigger picture of habitat stewardship that supports the future of the species.

Hound Dog Network - The Amazing Little Ann

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:17:18 +0000

Fresh off her latest in an amazing string of major wins including the UKC World Championship and the Tournament of Champions, Little Ann is writing a chapter in the coonhound record book that may never be duplicated.

In this episode John Strickland, Ashley Oxendine and Randy Smith, three of the four partners that own the reining world champion in two major registries, join Steve to tell Ann’s story to our listeners.

Partnerships in the dog world are rarely successful and often are more of a business deal than a friendship. Not so with these guys. Each tells their personal versions of Ann’s story and illustrates that partners can be successful and have a close personal relationship at the same time. These guys care about their hound and they care each about the other and it shows.

This is a don’t miss listen and easily makes the list of best efforts by the Gone To The Dogs Podcasts to date. See if you don’t agree.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Bird Brain Is Back: Talking Spring Turkeys with Long Branch Game Calls

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 08:00:34 +0000

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Jake Stanisch of Long Branch Turkey Calls for a deep dive into all things spring turkey hunting. From growing up in Pennsylvania and becoming hooked on the sound of a gobble at a young age, Jake shares what fuels his passion for chasing turkeys year after year. The conversation covers scouting, preseason preparation, and how understanding turkey behavior — from early spring through the month of May — can shape success in the woods.

Beyond tactics, the episode digs into the mindset of a turkey hunter. Jake breaks down the importance of mastering the fundamentals — becoming proficient with a few calls instead of chasing every new product, reading a bird’s “temperature,” and knowing when to call versus when to stay quiet. The guys also explore different hunting styles, from aggressive run-and-gun approaches to patient sit-and-wait tactics, and why neither is right or wrong. At its core, this episode is about time in the woods, learning through experience, and embracing the unpredictability that keeps turkey hunters coming back every spring.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:00:26 +0000

On this episode of the Huntavore Podcast, we sit down with author Christie Green to explore the

deeper meaning behind hunting, food, and our connection to the natural world. Broadcasting

from the frozen banks of Alaska’s Kenai River, Christie shares the story behind her book

Moonlight Elk and her journey into hunting later in life.

This conversation goes far beyond tags and trophies—it’s about identity, reverence, food, and

what it really means to participate in the wild.

● Why some hunters stop at the shot—and others don’t

● The difference between “trophy” vs. “story”

● Processing your own animal as an act of respect and gratitude

A Different Way to See Hunting

● Viewing animals as kin rather than “other”

● The emotional and ethical complexity of taking a life

The Moment That Changes Everything

● Why not pulling the trigger can be just as meaningful

Hunting as Transformation

● Why hunting can feel closer to our true nature

Teaching the Next Generation

�� What’s Next

Christie is currently working on the next book in her trilogy:

Salmon Dreaming: Coming Home to Alaska

● Explores navigation, identity, and the wisdom of salmon

● Contrasts human logic vs. instinctual wayfinding

● Releases next summer

�� Key Takeaways

● Hunting is more than the kill—it’s a full-spectrum experience

● Respect for animals can deepen through participation, not distance

● Food connects us to place, people, and purpose

● The wild offers a path back to ourselves

● Success in hunting isn’t always measured by filling a tag

Antler Up - Built With Purpose: My ASA Target Bow vs TAC & Hunting Rig

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:00:12 +0000

On this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down my current bow setups and how I’ve built each one with a specific purpose in mind. With ASA season kicking off and TAC right around the corner, this is the time of year where everything starts to matter—your reps, your confidence, and the equipment in your hands. I dive into my ARC 34, which is my dedicated target and ASA rig, and why I’ve built it around stability, control, and repeatability when precision is the priority.

I also walk through my ARC 30 setup, which is my go-to for TAC and hunting—built for adaptability, real-world scenarios, and executing shots when things aren’t perfect. From tuning insights to arrow builds and the mental shift between tournament shooting and hunting situations, this episode is all about understanding the “why” behind each setup. If you’re looking to dial in your gear with intention and build confidence heading into the season, this one’s for you.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Deep Woods Trees: Mast Crops Implemented with Precision

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:00:57 +0000

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Tom Damren of Workhorse Trees for a deep dive into planting trees for whitetail habitat — and why most hunters get it wrong. Tom shares how his journey into growing trees started out of frustration after failed plantings, leading him down the path of rootstock selection, disease resistance, and understanding what actually works in a real-world hunting setting. From the importance of seedling rootstock to avoiding common mistakes like planting too many trees or choosing the wrong varieties, this conversation breaks down the fundamentals of building a successful tree program that actually produces results.

The discussion then shifts into a unique and practical strategy: “deep woods planting.” Instead of traditional orchard-style setups, Tom explains how strategically placing a small number of trees in cover can create better daylight movement and more huntable scenarios. The guys also cover species selection, growth expectations, protection from wildlife damage, and how to think about trees not just as a food source, but as a precision tool for attraction. If you’ve ever been frustrated with planting trees or questioned whether they’re worth the effort, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might change how you approach habitat improvement.

Brent shares insider tips on common string flaws, like serving slippage and premature cutting, and explains the importance of matching string diameter for optimal arrow knock fit. Whether you're after faster speeds or longer-lasting strings, you'll learn how to make smarter choices that elevate your entire archery game.

Takeaways:

Dynamic Pre-Stretching: Reduces timing shifts and serving separation by controlling fiber tension dynamically.
Material Selection: High-quality fibers like B99 extend lifespan and performance by resisting environmental effects.
Perceived Stretch: Focus on fiber memory and compactness, not elongation, for stable performance.
Fiber Twist Direction: Opposing twist direction locks fibers, preventing performance loss.
High-Tension Serving: Prevents slippage and damage with consistent, quality materials.
Controlling Variables: Optimize gear and practice for skill-equipment synergy, not just expensive gear.
Mindful Practice: Focus on quality practice and mental management to improve skills.

Hound Dog Network - Of Hounds and Horses

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:02:05 +0000

This week Steve dons his racing silks and takes the listener to 800-horse two-year old thoroughbred sale in Ocala, Florida for a day of education and inspiration. Rarely does he do anything that doesn’t bring him full circle to his world of working dogs.

The world of coon hunting, especially concerning the animals that are central to the sport, has many parallels to the horse-racing game. We extoll the value of breeding and proof of ancestry through pedigrees for dogs and horses, we value reproduction success and keep records of performance of the offspring by listing wins, earnings and titles on registration documents. But, rounding the clubhouse turn and heading home, the ponies stretch out the lead in terms of providing the information and vehicle to move the top-performers into the winner’s circle.

With thoroughbred racing, breeders, trainers and owners are privy to a plethora of information in print and online that coonhound enthusiasts can only dream about.. Steve’s visit to a sale of national prominence held in an unrivaled venue allows him to fantasize about the possibilities of the same type of program for coonhounds and ends with the question, “Who is the best coonhound trainer in the world?”

Rest easy unc. Thank you for the guidance, the laughs, and the lessons. This episode is dedicated to you William Bubba Ray!

Hound Dog Network - The Coon Hunter’s Handbook

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:57:06 +0000

In this episode Steve addresses the changes in the way coon hunters acquire information by reviewing two books written in 1948 and 1952 respectively.

The American Trail Hound by Fred Streaver and The Coon Hunter’s Handbook by Leon F. Whitney, DVM and Acil B. Underwood were two important works designed to make the training of coonhounds a successful experience 75 years or so ago.

Steve finds the more things change the more they stay the same as the methods of three-quarters of a century ago appear similar to the methods coon hunters use in training dogs today.

The episode also includes a tribute to a special friend who recently passed to the vast timbers and river bottoms of his eternal home, Hoosier houndsman and tree dog enthusiast George Danielson.

Hound Dog Network - GTTD Revisited: Larry Meeks

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:42:32 +0000

It’s old home week on the Gone to the Dogs podcast as Steve connects with his longtime friend and former boss, Larry Meeks. Meeks was the owner and served as CEO for Professional Kennel Club for thirteen years following his purchase of the popular coonhound registry in the fall of 1997. Fielder joined the organization in June of 1998 and served as its Senior Vice President through November of 2004.

Conversation flows freely as Fielder urges Meeks to recall his meager upbringing in and around the Terre Haute, Indiana area. It’s a Horatio Alger story of a kid raised by a single parent, his dad, that was largely left to his own devices until he discovered his affinity to all things involving trucks. Meeks and his son Jeremy own and operate Gibco Motor Express, one of the nation’s top commodity haulers that haul, in Meeks’ words, everything from coal to bread.

Meeks coon hunting background and an early affiliation with PKC led him to purchase the registry and catapult it into a thriving business in his 13-year tenure. He and Fielder relive the days and nights at the Tennis Center at Ken Lake State Park in West Kentucky where the Super Stakes and World Hunt were held back-to-back in a ten-day coon hunting marathon.

Stories, some that include an inside look at the workings of a major coon hunting organization, abound in this entertaining episode. Enjoy.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - No Matter the Hunt, KEEP IT FUN!

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

On this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Kris Buchman of 3B Outdoors Club for a laid-back, honest conversation about hunting, fatherhood, and keeping the outdoors fun.

Antler Up - Craftsmanship, Stewardship & Building Things the Right Way

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time.

On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet.

We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters.

This isn’t a product episode.
It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Thirty-five degrees in Miami, Florida? Headlines read “Freezing in Florida: Artic chill reaches Sunshine State, breaking records and causing power disruptions.”

Steve takes the opportunity to check on friends that are coping with the chilling effects of a Polar Vortex that is causing hunters across the country to stay by the fire. In many cases hunters are bringing in the hounds in order to cope with what has become one of the harshest winters in memory, even for octogenarian hunters like Pennsylvania’s Fred Moran, the Redbone Man who will be 89 when this podcast airs.

Steve checks in on Fred and finds him in the throes of a three-week layoff from coon hunting, something he normally does nightly. Fred sounds a little rough but the dog talk begins to flow as the friends talk about the weather, old dogs, old trucks, old friends and stories, old and new, all framed in the hope that better days are coming.

This is an episode for those experiencing the effects of cabin fever on steroids the last few days. We’re hoping the stories, the laughs and the optimism will help to cure the fever in your neck of the woods.

Hound Dog Network - HOUND DOGGIN’ IN WEST VIRGINIA

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 18:19:00 +0000

Gary Knapp says he’s married to the prettiest girl in Big Scary, West Virginia. Steve calls him the Will Rogers of the Appalachians. Bear hunters remember him as an effective president and spokes person for the West Virginia Bear Hunter’s Association.

Knapp believes upcoming changes to West Virginia laws concerning hunting over bait will be detrimental to the bear population.

Antler Up - The Craft Behind the Shot | Daniel Parker (Mathews Archery)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Craftsmanship isn’t loud. It’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time.

On Episode 307 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Daniel Parker from Mathews Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond gear and specs. Daniel works on the front lines at Mathews, spending his days talking with hunters, dealers, and archers—hearing what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters once the season is over.

We dive into what separates a truly great brand from the rest: attention to detail, responsibility to the hunter, and the discipline to protect core values in an industry that’s constantly evolving. Daniel shares insights from inside Mathews, how real-world hunting feedback shapes the conversations he has every day, and why craftsmanship still matters when trends come and go.

We also talk about the things hunters tend to overthink—and the things they don’t think enough about—when it comes to practice, consistency, and execution under pressure. From lessons learned in the field to patterns Daniel hears season after season, this episode is about understanding the why behind the gear, not just the gear itself.

This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about mindset, responsibility, and doing things the right way—whether you’re building bows, chasing deer, or sharpening your shot process.

If you care about becoming a better hunter, a better archer, and doing things with intention, Episode 307 is for you.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!

From there, the episode settles into classic deer-camp storytelling. Andrew shares his season across Ohio and Pennsylvania, including shifting expectations, letting go of pressure, and finding fulfillment in simply enjoying time in the woods. The guys dive into rifle-season drives, first Pennsylvania buck memories, suppressed rifles, missing scope parts, bear encounters in fresh snow, and the camaraderie that makes camp special.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - A Bear Camp Story: Looking the Wrong Way

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As winter settles in and hunting season fades into memory, Mitchell slows things down with a shorter, story-driven episode centered on reflection rather than tactics. After returning from a Kansas waterfowl trip and battling a heavy snowstorm back home, he leans into the quieter rhythm of late January—when the woods are still, the tags are filled or empty, and stories begin to matter more than strategy. This episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman ventures off into a slightly different format: simpler conversations, cabin-table storytelling, and memories worth retelling.
Mitchell then takes listeners back nearly 20 years to November 19, 2007—the day he harvested his first Pennsylvania black bear at just 13 years old. Through vivid detail, he recounts deep snow, long bear drives, camp camaraderie, youthful mistakes, and the moment a bear appeared silently behind him at fifteen yards. The story weaves together family, tradition, humility, and luck—culminating in a once-in-a-lifetime day where both a grandson and a grandfather filled their first bear tags. It’s a reminder of why we hunt, why stories endure, and how certain moments in the woods stay with us forever.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - A Response to Rifle Season's Opening Day Proposal

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch takes listeners through his initial reaction to a proposed change to Pennsylvania’s statewide firearm deer season—specifically, a proposal that would move opening day to the Saturday before Thanksgiving. What begins as a discussion about season structure quickly turns inward, as Mitchell openly shares how frustration, impatience, and strong opinions began to spill into other areas of his life. Through an unexpected moment of conviction while reading Proverbs 18, he reflects on the dangers of reacting before listening, speaking before understanding, and allowing passion to override wisdom.
With a more measured and humble perspective, Mitchell then revisits the proposal itself, laying out thoughtful concerns around Thanksgiving traditions, deer camp culture, bear season impacts, rut timing, weather arguments, and student opportunity claims. Rather than ranting or assigning blame, he encourages respectful dialogue, personal responsibility, and constructive engagement with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. This episode is both a timely discussion on a hot-button hunting issue and a candid reminder that how we respond—to change, disagreement, and frustration—often matters more than the issue itself.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - The Birth of a Bow: Crafted by Hand, Tested in the Woods

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch sits down with Brandon Miller of Everyday Outdoorsman for a deeply honest conversation about hunting, craftsmanship, fatherhood, and faith. Brandon shares the multi-year journey of building his own traditional longbow by hand—and the challenges that followed when he took it into the woods. From missed shots and wounded deer to the emotional weight of failure, the conversation explores what it truly means to pursue a self-imposed challenge where success isn’t guaranteed and growth often comes through struggle. Along the way, Brandon reflects on traditional archery, learning curves, equipment limitations, and how hunting with a stickbow forced him to become more disciplined, intentional, and aware in every setup.
As the episode unfolds, the focus shifts beyond hunting mechanics to something deeper: humility, purpose, and faith. Brandon opens up about dedicating his season—and the unfinished documentary surrounding his bow—to Jesus Christ, wrestling with selfish ambition, content creation pressure, and learning to value the process over the prize. Mitchell and Brandon discuss how valleys often precede growth, why instant gratification can rob joy from the woods, and how slowing down allows both hunters and fathers to stay grounded in what truly matters. This episode is a powerful reminder that the most meaningful journeys in hunting—and in life—are rarely defined by highlight reels, but by perseverance, reflection, and trust in the process.

Hound Dog Network - A New Year’s Rant

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:51:00 +0000

Fresh off his annual New Year’s trip to South Carolina to attend the Grand American Coon Hunt, Steve takes the opportunity to unload some baggage he brought back from the competition events.

With a background in registry administration, Steve fully understands the challenges the registries face in maintaining enthusiasm for their events, often on a playing field that can appear to be anything but level at times. Games must have participants and Steve fears today’s climate may be discouraging more players than it encourages.

In this episode Steve confesses that the system designed by the game’s founders may not be working in today’s climate. The old hunter challenges the powers that be to come up with solutions that put honor back in the game, that rewards the best hound rather than the best argument from the most talented lawyer on the cast.

Listeners, depending on which camp they find themselves, purist or pugilist, will at least enjoy hearing the old man bump his blood pressure up a degree or two. In this one, Steve has gone looking for ways to bring out our best when the worst seems so easy to do.

In this end-of-year episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined once again by Grant Forney from the Everyday Outdoorsman to reflect on the 2025 hunting season and how their perspectives have evolved.

From mentoring without pressure to respecting the weight of taking an animal’s life, the conversation highlights what it truly means to pass on hunting traditions thoughtfully.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs: What Difference Does It Make?

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 18:17:00 +0000

In this episode Steve and Nubbin invite a brand, spanking new coon hunter to the microphone in an enjoyable conversation with ten-year old Brantley Whittle. Brantley became interested in coon hunting after reading Wilson Rawls’ classic Where The Red Fern Grows as have so many children through the ages since Rawls penned the story of Old Dan and Little Ann in 1961. The parallels in age between the book’s Billy Coleman and Brantley Whittle, Coleman is ten when the story begins and Whittle is ten now, open the door for an interesting discussion on the mindset of boys that age as they enter the sport for the first time. In our discussion we learn that Whittle sought, through the help of our Nubbin Moore, a female Redbone pup with which to start his journey because, as was Little Ann, the females were thought to be smarter. This episode will refresh the memories of youth for older hunters and will spark a desire to join the fun for novice hunters Brantley’s age and beyond.

Wisconsin Sportsman - What I Learned Hunting Late-Season Bucks

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce flies solo to recap a snowy 5-day public land hunt chasing late-season bucks! If you listened to last year's "What I Learned Hunting A Public Land Giant", consider this the sequel. Pierce recaps the lessons learned from still hunting a new piece of public land, and how he adapted a minimalist approach to simply hunting where the deer sign told him, and where the terrain allowed him. Be prepared to hear about a couple of encounters with huge bucks and what they did to stay alive near the end of a long hunting season, and hear what was going through Pierce's mind as he encountered everything on this long, winter hunt.

Thank you all for making 2025 such a phenomenal year! This was far and away the best year yet, and that's all thanks to those of you who tune in every week. Have a happy new year and we'll talk to you all in 2026!

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast, Mitchell shares the story of a late-season rifle hunt that tested his patience, priorities, and perspective. After a season filled with high expectations, mounting pressure, family responsibilities, mechanical mishaps, and self-inflicted stress, Mitchell heads into the final weekend determined to fill his buck tag. What unfolds is a hard-earned big woods hunt alongside close friends and family—marked by bitter cold, long walks, doubt, and ultimately a brief, narrow shooting window that ends with a buck on the ground. It’s a moment of relief, gratitude, and disbelief that reminds him why he hunts and why the process matters as much as the outcome.
Beyond the harvest, this episode dives deeper into what it truly means to seek—both in the woods and in life. Mitchell reflects on the tension between being driven and being present, between pursuing goals with intention versus drifting through them nonchalantly. He opens up about faith, stewardship, family, and the importance of slowing down to realign priorities, recognizing that many of life’s blessings are not earned, but given.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined once again by Wisconsin BHA Chapter Chair, Alec Bekkers to discuss all things public lands and public land policy here in Wisconsin! The guys dive into what a lack of funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program would mean for hunters and anglers in Wisconsin, and ways we can still make our voices heard to advocate for its reauthorization.

They unpack the common and not-so-common ground between the hunting and other outdoor recreation communities, and the importance of conversations aimed at educating one another rather than taking to social media to rant. Lastly, Alec plugs some upcoming events being hosted by BHA to advocate for public lands and get together with some great folks. All that and more in this week's episode!

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode Mike and I recap my recent hunt in my home state of Virginia. I was fortunate enough to harvest a tall, beautiful 7 pointer on my private land.

With about 5 minutes left of shooting light, I spotted the buck about 270 yards out in the field. With the low light setting I was unable to determine whether or not he was a shooter. I ended up calling the buck into 15 yards for a perfect broadside shot! Thanks everybody for listening!

Pennsylvania Woodsman - The Buck We'll Never Forget: a Father, a Son, and a Moment in Time

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Jake Fiola—an everyday Pennsylvania hunter, father, and endlessly reflective outdoorsman. Jake shares the story of an early-season hunt that became far more meaningful than the arrow, the antlers, or even the rare size of the buck he harvested. Hunting with his young son for the first time from an elevated stand, Jake found himself navigating a swirl of emotions: excitement, nerves, nostalgia, and the sobering responsibility of ensuring his child’s safety. What unfolded was a moment that would change how he sees hunting, fatherhood, and the legacy we pass to the next generation.
Together, Mitch and Jake dive into themes every parent-hunter wrestles with—slowing down, letting go of control, teaching through experience, and rediscovering why we hunt in the first place. Jake’s story isn’t about a giant buck; it’s about gratitude, perspective, and the miracle of watching a child experience the woods the way we once did. This heartfelt conversation is a reminder that the true trophies in the outdoors are the memories made, the values shared, and the lives shaped while sitting side-by-side in a tree.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs: Dunlap Times Three

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 16:23:00 +0000

This week Steve entertains a trio of coon hunters from Ohio that have become some of the most recognizable and respected hunters in game as breeders, trainers and successful competitors.

The Dunlap brothers, Chuck and Don, were born in the adjoining county of Fayette in West Virginia, next door to Raleigh County where Steve was born. Their family migrated to central Ohio where the Dunlaps established themselves as young me to be serious coon hunters. Chuck’s son Coleton, affectionately known as Coonman, has followed in his dad’s and his uncle’s footsteps, earning a respected name for himself as well. Chuck formed his reputation as a successful handler in the early days of his career, the mid 1980s, by handling a famous English stud dog named GRNITECH Baron’s Blue Reb, known far and wide as Lumis. Lumis, a crossbred Treeing Walker hound by today’s standards, was registered as English. He was owned by Carl Carroll of Crestline, Ohio and Roger W. Daron of Plymouth, Ohio, and handled by Chuck Dunlap.

The conversation moves from Lumis to the Buck Creek Treeing Walker hounds for which the Dunlaps are well-known today. Hounds like two-time AKC World Champion Buck Creek Mr. Smith, Buck Creek Crowson and Buck Creek Homer, as well as others, fill the episode. This is a story of one family’s love for coon hunting and for each other. It is well worth your time.

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Tim Schlappich, a Pennsylvania native and member of the Final Stand crew who found his passion for hunting later in life. Tim shares his journey from being an avid angler and traveler in the military to diving headfirst into the world of whitetails, first in Nebraska’s river bottoms and now across the big woods and marshes of the East Coast. Through trial, patience, and curiosity, he’s learned to balance the challenges of new terrain, the lure of technology, and the importance of keeping the adventure alive.
Throughout their conversation, Mitch and Tim reflect on the tension between trophy hunting and personal fulfillment—how the fun, the people, and the places matter more than antlers on the wall. From Sika deer on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to DIY filming and mentoring new hunters, Tim’s story captures the spirit of curiosity and humility that makes hunting special.

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In Episode 299 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy recaps a tough rut weekend in Pennsylvania with little daylight buck activity despite long all‑day sits. He shares the ups and downs of Saturday’s move into thicker cover, Sunday’s rain‑shortened hunt, and the frustration of seeing shooter bucks only on camera at night. Alongside these stories, Jeremy lays out practical rut strategies for the week of November 10–16, emphasizing patience, midday sits, and smart adjustments to weather and trail camera intel.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs: Remembering John Wick

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode Mark Zepp joins Steve in remembering hunter, breeder, trainer, author, innovator and entrepreneur John Wick of Montgomery City, Missouri.

“He was Elvis,” Zepp opines in this up-close look at perhaps the most influential man to ever snap a leash on a hound. Through his endless ads and columns in coon hunting magazines, Wick single handedly tackled the task of educating the coonhound masses on the nuances of the sport that one major dog food company called the largest sporting dog activity in America.

Zepp worked, traveled and hunted alongside John Wick for ten years at Wick Outdoor Works which at the time was the leading supply company for coon hunters nationwide. Nobody in the coon hunting game knew Wick better nor was more closely associated with the most recognizable name in the coonhound sport than Zepp.

This episode explores the many aspects of this amazing man’s life from the viewpoint of one that knew him best. Listeners will appreciate this inside look at a very special man indeed.

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Jeremy Dinsmore checks in from the Pennsylvania woods to share some hard-earned lessons from a slow October weekend. He breaks down what it means to fall into the “too-mobile” trap—moving too much, too soon—and how giving good ground time to develop can make all the difference. Jeremy also dives into the mental side of the season: how trail cameras can become both a blessing and a curse, why chasing other hunters’ success only hurts your focus, and how patience, gut instinct, and historical intel are what truly kill big deer.

From recognizing when to stay put to trusting your own property’s rhythm, this one’s packed with perspective for any hunter grinding through October.

Wisconsin Sportsman - Live From the Duck Blind with Andrew Wolfe

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Andrew Wolfe just minutes before shooting light, for a one-of-a-kind episode live from the duck blind!

Huntavore - Troy Fowler; Holes in the Bilateral Pneumothorax

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, The Troy Fowler discusses the critical elements of hunting, focusing on the roles of arrows and bows in the process of taking down deer. The discussion delves into the technical aspects of hunting equipment, particularly the importance of broadheads and inserts, and challenges common misconceptions about what truly contributes to a successful hunt. Troy also informs Nick of why there was no accumulation of blood between muscles, as the holes were not interrupted by other layers of tissue, allowing for more side meat harvest.

Arrows and bows both play crucial roles in hunting, each contributing uniquely to a hunter’s success. The choice of broadhead can significantly impact performance, making it important for hunters to understand the mechanics behind their equipment. Misconceptions about hunting gear often lead to poor decisions in the field, emphasizing the need for proper education and experience. Factors such as the weight of inserts and broadheads must be carefully considered to achieve optimal balance and accuracy. Beyond gear selection, effective hunting also relies on a solid understanding of animal anatomy to ensure ethical and efficient harvests. The debate between the importance of arrows versus bows continues among hunters, but one thing remains clear—quality equipment and a deep knowledge of its use can greatly enhance the hunting experience. Ultimately, hunters who prioritize understanding their gear and continually educate themselves on hunting techniques are the most likely to find consistent success.

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Jeremy Dinsmore checks in from the heart of Pennsylvania’s October woods to share where his 2025 season stands so far. From early-season encounters to the sting of a neighbor tagging the mature buck he’d been watching all summer, Jeremy breaks down the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way. He unpacks how shifting food sources, scrape activity, and cold fronts are changing deer movement and what that means for his next moves as the pre-rut kicks in.

Jeremy also revisits some of his favorite past Antler Up conversations from hunters like Steve Sherk Jr., Brandon Barlow, Rich Yoder, and Beau Martonik—using their October insights on patience, pressure, and adaptability to frame his own mid-season mindset. He wraps up with a look ahead at his plans for late-October in PA, rut hunts at camp, and his upcoming Ohio trip before rifle season. Whether you’re grinding through the lull or gearing up for the rut, this episode delivers real-time perspective from the middle of the season.

Hound Dog Network - The Emotional Side of Coon Hunting

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:34:00 +0000

In this episode Steve takes an inside look at the hound sports by exploring the things that radiate from within the soul of the hunter, from the emotional side. Houndsmen may display a plethora of emotions, the usual suspects being jealousy, envy, greed along with often being overly competitive.

Steve delves into feelings of pride, self-centeredness, disappointment, exhilaration, and even disgust that often comprise the houndsmen’s personality, making it difficult to form and maintain meaningful relationships with other members of the sport.

Feelings of love and adoration for hounds as well as grief when a good hound is lost come under Steve’s emotional microscope in this introspective episode.

In this powerful episode of We Do This Too Outdoors, host Courtney Williamson sits down with archer and outdoorsman William Alderman, whose passion for bowhunting and archery is matched only by his drive to represent a new face in the outdoor world. William shares how his journey began as a homeschooled kid in Florida, building makeshift bows from palm trees and shoelaces, before discovering his first real bow and diving deep into both the hunting and target archery scenes. From learning through trial and error to competing in ASA events, William opens up about the discipline, humility, and personal growth that come with the sport.Their conversation goes far beyond bows and arrows — it’s about faith, family, and finding your purpose outdoors. William reflects on the mental side of archery, the lessons it teaches about patience and perseverance, and what it means to be a Black outdoorsman breaking barriers in the hunting and archery community. Together, he and Courtney talk about the shared mission of showing the next generation that “we do this too” — that the outdoors is for everyone, and that real success isn’t about trophies but about balance, faith, and leaving a positive mark on the world.

The Huntavore - 5 Steps to Better Quality Venison from the Field

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Nick Otto discusses five essential steps to ensure the best quality venison after

a successful hunt. He emphasizes the importance of shot placement, quick recovery, thorough

field dressing, proper cleaning and chilling, and effective packing and freezing methods. Each

step is crucial for maintaining the quality of the meat and ensuring a successful outcome from

the hunt.

The hardest part of hunting is often getting on the animal, as it requires patience, skill, and

understanding of wildlife behavior. Once the opportunity arises, shot placement becomes crucial

for ensuring a quick, ethical dispatch and maintaining the quality of the meat. After the shot, a

fast recovery is vital to prevent loss of meat quality. Thorough field dressing helps remove heat

and bacteria, while promptly chilling the meat is essential for preserving its freshness. Proper

cleaning during processing prevents contamination and spoilage, and careful packing and

freezing help avoid freezer burn. Using a vacuum sealer can further maintain meat quality over

time. Throughout the entire process, working in a clean environment and keeping knives sharp

are key to efficient and effective butchering.

Antler Up - Matt Ross from the National Deer Association

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Matt Ross from the National Deer Association, who brings nearly two decades of experience studying deer behavior, habitat, and management. Matt shares fascinating insights on how deer use multiple bedding areas throughout the season, how feeding habits and environmental factors influence their movement, and why understanding a deer’s “personality” can give hunters an edge. We also dive into the role hunting pressure plays on deer behavior, and how quickly they adapt and return to patterns once the pressure subsides.

With advances in technology like GPS collars, researchers now have a clearer picture of how deer truly move across the landscape — knowledge that can directly improve a hunter’s approach in the field. Matt and I also touch on the importance of public land initiatives for habitat improvement, why adaptability is key when hunting pressured deer, and how wind and thermals remain critical factors in success. Whether it’s taking calculated risks, shifting strategies, or simply learning more about deer as individuals, this episode is packed with takeaways to help you sharpen your approach this season.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!

Huntavore - Dr. Brent Race; Deactivation of CWD with Bleach

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Nick tracks down Dr. Brent Race, a lead scientist from NIH (National Institutes of Health) who worked on the study; Inactivation of chronic wasting disease prions using sodium hypochlorite. The findings are exciting and promising for home or commercial processors who could be butchering infected deer. Using a solution of 40% bleach and a soak of 5 minutes, CWD prions can be inactivated, saving your cutlery, and non-porous cutting surfaces from infecting further butcher jobs, thus having to be pitched. With many parts of the country, including my home county in Michigan, having to face this growing problem that is showing to be very formidable. However, this may be a battle won in the ongoing war of CWD.

Dr. Race explained that deactivating other infectious prion diseases with bleach is “old news”, but no work had been done on CWD in cervides (classification of the deer species) with a bleach treatment. Running several simulations with infected brain matter, stainless steel rods were covered in infectious prions and submerged in different concentrations of bleach along with varying amounts of time. The now treated roda were moved over to a solution of healthy prion material. Activated infectious prions would begin mutating healthy prions, making them infectious. In-activated infectious prions can’t mutate healthy prions, meaning they couldn’t spread the infection.

Article: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/household-bleach-inactivates-chronic-wasting-disease-prions

Actual Study (if you enjoy scientific reading):

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223659

From the discussion, Huntavore has put together some procedures to think about when cutting up your own deer that could be infected. Mind you these are steps are being proactive, reacting to not knowing your deer is positive for CWD, rather than reactive and scrambling with the news of knowing your deer is positive,

Setup:

Put down a disposable ground covering, like plastic drop cloth or construction paper (the large rolls). Place cutting table on covered area. Might want to avoid the kitchen table.

Proceed cutting up the animal making sure keep cuts in non-porous containers

Bag, seal, wrap, whatever your storing method then box up, freeze, and wait for the results (hardest part). Try to avoid grinding meat at this point.

Clean Up:

Make sure the area is WELL ventilated.

Brush fat, and silverskin, small bits on the ground cover, rollup and bag up.

Wash and scrub both table/cutting boards, and used saws or knives per usual. Removing all remaining macro bits. Rinse and let dry (to not dilute the bleach treatment.

Sack up all sponges/rags/Brillo pads that were used (wait on the test results, if positive, toss with the meat. If ok, they can be used again.)

Mix up a container of 1 to 1 parts water and household bleach. Place all cutlery in the solution, making sure bleach can get to all surfaces. Set a timer for 5 minutes, watch carefully. Pull, rinse, let dry before putting away.

In a spray bottle, filled with full strength bleach, spray down cutting boards or cutting table, as long as they are non porous. Let set for 5-7 minutes, watching the surface so it’s not damaged by the bleach. When time is up, rinse off and let dry.

We also dive into opportunities and responsibilities for hunters, from the new Sunday hunting opportunities in Pennsylvania to the importance of increasing the harvest of antlerless deer for better herd balance. Kip highlights how habitat management, collaboration, and community engagement play a vital role in keeping deer populations healthy for the future.

The Range - From The Vault: Nate Axtman: Snack Boy, Muleys & Hockey

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 18:18:00 +0000

In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world.

Nate starts with his introduction to hunting as a young man with upland game alongside his family. He started shooting an old recurve bow that his dad owned, which led him to a job at the local Scheel’s sporting goods store in Grand Forks, ND.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him.

Ricky talks about an upcoming Mule Deer hunt that he and Nate will be partnered up for this upcoming fall. This hunt has been in the making for many years, and the guys briefly discuss the plan and the excitement quickly setting in as the day nears.

Nate then tells a story of struggle, focus, and perseverance that accompanies a recent Pronghorn Antelope Bowhunt. Camping out in a ground blind for 3 days in 90-degree heat, may have led to a bonfire fueled by the sleeping bag and clothing involved.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs He Was A Good Man

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:19:00 +0000

In this episode, admittedly one of the hardest to produce in his 320-plus podcast career, Steve begins with a musical tribute to recently assassinated Christion activist Charlie Kirk. The song written and performed by Oklahoma singer/songwriter Tennessee Jet (aka T.J. McFarland), was penned shortly after Kirk was shot while debating students on a Utah college campus. The impact of the Kirk slaying sent shockwaves across the nation and impacted our host and his guests, Nubbin Moore and Randy Fielder as well as millions across the Nation. After the tribute, the episode moves on to the podcast’s benchmark “Dog talk at its finest” as the boys discuss favorite hounds of the past, Nubbin’s recent family fishing and hunting trip to south Alabama and a look-back at the recent Autumn Oaks event in Indiana. With scarcely two months to go until their annual trip to the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the conversation naturally drifts out to the big Delta bottoms of Arkansas. This one is dedicated to the memory of patriot Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs with Nathan Johnson

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:24:00 +0000

Steve is joined by his brother Randy as they entertain fellow West Virginian Nathan Johnson as this week’s guest.

Johnson, from the town of Rock View in Wyoming County, has never hunted in any other place than southern West Virginia where he, as were the Fielder brothers, was born and raised. The conversation centers upon what it’s like to hunt in the rugged environs of coal-mining country and why, in fact, would anyone want to hunt in an area that has been named one of the worst states in the Union for coon hunting?

The boys agree that it takes a certain hunting style for a coonhound to be successful in the rugged terrain and provide the listener a detailed description of hunting there. As the month of October approaches, the discussion moves to raccoon season, the abundance or lack thereof of raccoons in the area, preferred hunting methods, and their individual positions on taking game in areas where the species is not always in good supply.

This is West Virginia dog talk at its finest with one of the finest hunters to have occupied our guest’s chair for an interview. Sit back and enjoy this trio of mountain boys having a good time talking dogs. You’ll especially enjoy Johnson’s one-liners as the conversation stays on the lighter side.

In this very first Inside the NDA episode, Jeremy sits down with Lindsay Thomas Jr., Chief Communications Officer for the National Deer Association, for an eye-opening discussion on how deer see, smell, and survive in the wild. Lindsay breaks down fascinating insights into deer vision—how their broader peripheral view, ability to see in low light, and rapid information processing give them a huge advantage over hunters.

Beyond the science, this episode highlights why the NDA’s mission matters now more than ever. Jeremy and Lindsay discuss deer behavior patterns, how hunters can prepare both physically and mentally for success, and the importance of practicing in the same gear you’ll hunt in. Lindsay also shares how NDA programs like Field to Fork and local chapters are strengthening the hunting community and creating opportunities for mentorship, recruitment, and education. Whether you’re chasing whitetails this fall or looking to give back to the next generation of hunters, this conversation is packed with insights to make you sharper and more connected in the field.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Strategy Adjustments with Traditional Archery Equipment

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Matt Beisswanger for a traditional bowhunting conversation. Matt is a team member of Inside Twenty whose focus is sharing traditional bowhunting and their faith in Christ. Matt has been toting the stickbow since 2006 on and off and has wrapped a tag around numerous critters including some magnificent whitetail bucks. He's learned a lot when it comes to transitioning from hunting with a compound.The closer you need to get to your quarry, the more you need to learn about them in order to be successful. For those who have hunted with a crossbow or a compound, you'd think switching to a traditional bow would be as simple as changing equipment and hunting the same as with your modern bow. That has not been Matt's experience. In fact, Matt shares with us how he manipulates stand locations to cater to closer shot opportunities. He discusses stand height, cover needed within a set up, and different mindsets while scouting a location. There is some creativity in this episode you may or may not have heard before, and it all revolves around getting Inside Twenty yards.

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Hunt Detail - The Hunting Knife to Rule Them All Pt. 2

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Knife making is both an art and a science. In today's episode, Jacob continues to examine the dynamics of the steel composition of high end knives and the implications of that composition. There are a lot of steels that were created in the 1940's to 1960's (A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel) that were specific for the manufacturing industry and are still used in high end hunting knives today. But what do knife steels look like as they evolved in the early 2000's and what do knife steels look like now as they evolved in the 2020's.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs: 300 years

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 15:21:00 +0000

Each of the four players in this episode have hunted coons for sixty years or more. Their combined age of 297 autumns is nearly 300 years and each year now. They gather to follow hounds in the big woods of the Arkansas delta.

At the heart of their annual hunt is the endless discussion at mealtimes and around the camp when hounds are fed and watered and beverages poured, of the memories of bygone hounds or hunters gone on to their rewards that continue into the wee, small hours, only to be rejoined over steaming cups of coffee and heaping plates at the breaking of each new day.

These are the coon hunting conversations that form the foundation of the experience that continues to motivate these men to come year after year to the White River Refuge. Join Nubbin Moore, Morris Hardy, Randy Smith and Steve as they talk dogs and all things coon hunting in this, the last Gone To The Dogs podcast of the 2021 year. Happy New Year!

Michigan Wild - Locating a Target Buck

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Robert McIntyre sit down and have a conversation focused on Locating a Target Buck. The process of finding a target buck can differ between hunters, however depending on circumstances and the amount of time spent in the woods can increase your odds of finding a buck to hunt. Robert spends a lot of time each year lacing up his boots and getting to work searching and learning to increase his success each fall.

Throughout the episode the guys break down different scenarios and their strategies for finding target bucks. Be that seasonal scouting, early season, rut, late season, public, private, instate or out of state hunting. Locating a Target Buck consistently isn't something that falls into any hunters laps.

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Adam Berkelmans and Justin Townsend join Nick on the show to discuss the intricacies of sausage making, focusing on the newly released book 'The Art of Venison Sausage Making.' They explore the science behind sausage making, essential tips for novices, and the social aspects of the craft. The conversation also delves into various types of sausages, the importance of casings, and the joy of creating unique flavors. The hosts emphasize that sausage making is not only a culinary skill but also a fun and engaging activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family.

Sausage making is both an art and a science, requiring attention to detail and a willingness to learn. One of the most important aspects is keeping all ingredients cold throughout the process to ensure a quality product. For beginners, using pre-made seasonings can simplify the experience and lead to more consistent results. Beyond the technical side, sausage making can also be a social and enjoyable event—perfect for gatherings or "sausage parties" where friends and family come together to learn and create. Experimenting with different flavors, ingredients, and techniques adds a personal touch, while understanding the role and types of casings is crucial for success. The process does demand time and patience, but it's rewarding. For those just getting started, the referenced book serves as an excellent introduction to the craft of sausage making.

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:45:00 +0000

In this episode we journey to the village of Pope, in the southern tip of Panola County, Mississippi to visit with black coon hunter Rubert Morgan. At age 74, Morgan has worn many hats; farmer, auto worker, collegiate bull rider, community official and coonhound breed association director to name a few.

Mr. Morgan provides an entertaining look at the life of a black kid growing up under segregation but also enjoying his lifelong dream of being in the outdoors hunting with hounds.

Steve and Rubert met at the UKC Winter Classic in Batesville, Mississippi several years ago. Mutual friend, Kimberly Clark of Virginia, also black and also a coon hunter, urged Steve to bring Morgan onto the podcast and the result is an hour and several minutes more of dog talk at its finest.

A confessed Bluetick aficionado today, Rubert has enjoyed all breeds through the years beginning with a spotted pup that, as a kid, he crawled under the family home to claim. The story of Spot and others good hounds through the years, pack the episode and there’s even some looks at life as a black man growing up in a world where in many cases, he was the “only one that looked like me” in the crowd. You’ll enjoy this one, guaranteed.

Wisconsin Sportsman - Advocating for Knowles-Nelson with Ducks Unlimited

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by George Ermert, Kyle Rorah, and Brian Glenzinski from Ducks Unlimited to talk about Ducks Unlimited's role in advocating for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship fund, and everything that DU does for conservation! The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is a fund unique to Wisconsin that has been used to purchase public land, create easements, and build bike trails, boat ramps, and campsites. Recently, the state of Wisconsin underwent their annual budget approval process, of which Knowles-Nelson did not make the cut. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as you'll hear explained by George, Kyle, and Brian, but it is something that should be on your radar going forward. Outside of Knowles-Nelson, the guys share how DU works to purchase land through the Knowles-Nelson fund, how they build relationships with politicians in the state, ways they work to collaborate with non-hunters to work towards conservation initiatives, the importance of R3, and what the future of DU and Knowles-Nelson hold. It's a fantastic conversation you won't want to miss!

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by some family for a bear hunting conversation. The family guests are his younger cousins Jacob, Josh, and Isaac Mengel, who've recently begun a journey of starting their own bear hunt tradition at their cabin in northern PA.

For the last four hunting seasons, they have started their mission to learn how to bear hunt their historic hunting grounds, and how to do it with a group. The guys share their experiences of how they got started, the obstacles along the way, the mess ups, and the successes, including Isaac's first bear harvested from a drive with only five people! This conversation sheds light on perspective from new bear hunters and how they overcame the intimidation factor of hunting a new species in a tough environment.

Hunt Detail - Single Bevel Broadhead Battle

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The purpose of a single bevel blade on a broadhead is to twist as it penetrates as opposed to creating a flat cut plane like a double bevel blade does. As a result, you have a wound channel that doesn't close or re-seal easily, which hopefully translates into better blood trails and better recoveries. In today's episode, Jacob share the results of his evaluation of 2 different single bevel broadheads. Jacob shot the Iron Will 125 and the Toulou 125 through ballistic gel and each through a mature whitetail shoulder blade. He examined the twist rate of each broadhead and penetration. The results of the evaluation were compelling and worth sharing. Thanks for listening!

Wisconsin Sportsman - Q2 Wisconsin Public Land Policy Update w/ Alec Bekkers

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Wisconsin BHA Chapter Chair, Alec Bekkers, to talk all things public lands and public land policy! By now, I'm sure you've seen countless posts highlighting the importance of stopping the sale of public lands, and for good reason. But some of you might still be asking, "why?" Alec is here to answer that question and dives into the importance of holding on to our public lands to be used or leased for generations to come, which will in turn generate revenue for the government for years to come unlike a one time sale that only brings in payment once. The guys dive into how nuanced the issue of public lands is, and why talking about the multiple uses of public land are incredibly important for various groups. After that, the guys touch on some spring hearing questions, the use of cell cams to check traps, and upcoming events to be on the lookout for!
