Gamekeeper Podcast

This week we dive into the world of deer meat after eating canned venison with our GameKeeper Butchery guest, Sam Kohler. After trying his canned venison lo-mein dish, we can’t help but share the different ways we handle and prepare wild game. We discuss everything from shot placement and field care, to aging and processing. Sam even shares some ways to prepare wild game organs that’s quite a deviation from grandma’s fried deer steaks. If you enjoy eating deer meat you don’t want to miss this one. Enjoy!

Weeds can be problematic-- yet with modern herbicides and small powerful sprayers, today’s Gamekeepers can borrow technology from farmers to grow the best food plot crops possible.  Farming for wildlife is how we describe it, and Helena’s Keith Baggett explains pre vs post emergence application, grass vs broadleaf, water conditioners, surfactants and even insecticides. This is another listener requested topic. You’ll want to have a note pad handy.

Whether we realize it or not, we are surrounded by invasive plants that weren’t originally here. Expert Greg Wall from Helena explains the most common ones, where they came from, how to control and how they could affect a Gamekeepers property. These discussions can get argumentative as not everyone is one the same page about some invasives that actually benefit wildlife. However it’s clear, as Gamekeepers we all need to know what we are dealing with and how best to control. This is a multiple listener requested topic. Enjoy.
