Gamekeeper Podcast

This week we return to talking turkeys with Dr. Chamberlain and we ask him the question, “What have you learned in all your research that has made you a better turkey hunter?” We thought that might be some information we could all learn from.  It’s an interesting discussion that had our whole crew paying attention.

Technology can be a big help in making you a better hunter and Gamekeeper. In this episode we are joined by the guys from OnX (Jared Larsen, Andrew Willard, and Todd Williams) as they explain the many ways the OnX app can improve your game in the field. It’s incredibly useful information and we all learned from it.  We also ask a Mississippi hunter, Colby Upton, to tell us the story of a giant buck he recently killed in our neck of the woods.  This one is packed with information. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

Joining us this episode is Devlin “Duck” Hodges, who plays pro football in between duck seasons. It’s a really fun interview with a guy who’s a passionate water fowler and world class duck caller. It’s interesting to hear about his evolution as a duck hunter, and how his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ottawa Redbacks have led him to positively expose so many non-hunting people to his love of hunting. Listen, Learn, Laugh and Enjoy!

With temperatures across the whitetails range plunging and food sources depleting, we worry about deer herds being hungry and stressed. This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we talk about late season food plots, specifically Brassicas commonly known as turnips, rape, kale and radishes.  These unique cultivars have long been a workhorse component in the BioLogic food plot blends, and we explain why we have love them so much. Dr. Bronson Strickland from the MSU Deer Lab joins us to explain what they have learned through research.  Food plots are an important part of managing wildlife, and we give you some great information to help make better decisions. Listen, Learn and be a better Gamekeeper. Enjoy!

This week Dr. Marcus Lashley of the UF Deer Lab joins us to talk about burning. We discuss when, why, what equipment and permits you need, and we try to demystify a management tool that many are leery of incorporating into their annual practices. Marcus is brilliant at explaining the process. Of course, Toxey, our own self-admitted pyro, joins the discussion but first tells the story of Mr. Fox's latest buck, (a big 11 point) that you don’t want to miss. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

We sure do love duck hunting and managing for waterfowl, so we’re grateful to have Dr. Brian Davis from Mississippi State University join us in the studio this week. He answers all the questions we ask about ducks, their migration, banding, and how to improve our habitat to improve our hunting. There is a lot of fascinating information packed into one episode that will benefit both the waterfowl hunter, and anyone interested in learning more about their habitat and migration. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!

With temps hovering around freezing or colder in most of the country, we decided to shift gears this week and think about warmer climes and fishing adventures. World class tarpon guide, Craig Brewer, joined us to deer hunt recently.  While he was in town we sat him down to explain what’s going on with the water quality of the Everglades and the Florida Keys. As Gamekeepers, we need to pay attention to what’s happening. Of course we also talk fishing/hunting, and we all learn a lot from a man who was born to be a tarpon guide. Craig and his father were the first, and for many years, the only father/son to both win the prestigious Gold Cup of Tarpon Fishing as guides. The man is legendary, and his knowledge and insight is invaluable. Listen and learn. Enjoy!

For most of us, thoughts of squirrel hunting conjures up memories of early hunting experiences. But there are many serious squirrel hunters who use specialized .22 rifles with silencers and or insanely valued dogs that will amaze at what they can do. Squirrels are nature’s athletes and world class hiders that will put your camo and hunting skills to the test. This week our guest is George Brown, legendary squirrel hunter who typically harvests upwards of 400 bushytails a year. We talk squirrels and we all learn from him. It’s guaranteed to make you want to go and lean against a tree. Listen and learn. Enjoy.

How do you know if your property has exceeded the carrying capacity of deer? How do you know how many you need to shoot? Is there a strategy for when to cull does that seems to work best? This week we are joined by Dr. Steve Demarais of Mississippi State University to discuss these topics and much more. Steve has made a career of managing whitetails, and has a way of explaining things that makes it easy to comprehend. Listen, learn and become a better Gamekeeper. Enjoy!
