  • Beagles Unleashed: Expert Advice on Training Your Rabbit Hunter with Al Taylor

    Are you a fan of hunting? Have you ever considered going beagle hunting? If so, you're in for a treat! In a recent podcast episode, avid beagle hunter shared his experiences, tips, and stories about this thrilling activity. Let's dive into the transcript and explore the world of beagle hunting.

    AL Taylor mentioned that he grew up around dogs and spent his entire childhood surrounded by them. Their fathers were avid hunters, and were introduced to the world of hunting at a young age. This early exposure sparked his passion for beagle hunting, and he has continued the tradition into their adult lives.

    When it comes to training beagles for rabbit hunting, both hunters emphasized the importance of starting with a puppy. They recommended selecting a puppy that shows natural instincts, such as using its nose and being adventurous. Al mentioned using a stuffed animal rabbit with rabbit scent to introduce the puppies to the smell and get them excited about chasing it.

    As the puppies grow, they progress to live rabbits, either in starting pens or by attaching a tame rabbit to a rope in their own yard. This helps the dogs learn to follow the scent and develop their hunting skills. also mentioned the importance of running the dogs with older, more experienced dogs to learn from them.

    One challenge that both Al and Matt mentioned was dealing with dogs getting distracted by female dogs in heat. This can disrupt the hunting experience and cause dogs to lose focus. They recommended avoiding hunting with a male dog when a female is in heat to prevent distractions and maintain focus on the hunt.

    Another challenge they discussed was gun shyness in dogs. While some dogs may naturally be more sensitive to loud noises, they suggested desensitizing them by being loud around them and gradually introducing them to the sound of gunshots. This helps them associate the noise with positive experiences and reduces the likelihood of gun shyness.

    Both hunters emphasized the importance of using tracking collars, specifically the Garmin brand, for beagle hunting. These collars provide peace of mind and allow hunters to keep track of their dogs' locations, especially in dense woods or when they are chasing a rabbit. The collars also have additional features like lights and map cards, which enhance the hunting experience and ensure the safety of the dogs.

    While beagle hunting on public land, Al mentioned occasional encounters with people who don't understand the activity. Some people may not realize that rabbits don't adhere to property lines and may get upset if the dogs cross onto their land. emphasized the importance of being polite and respectful, but also highlighted that beagle hunters have just as much right to be out there as any other hunter.

    Beagle hunting is a thrilling and rewarding activity that allows hunters to connect with nature and witness the incredible skills of their dogs. From training puppies to dealing with challenges and using tracking collars, the hunters shared valuable insights and tips for a successful hunting experience. So, if you're a hunting enthusiast looking for a new adventure, consider giving beagle hunting a try. Happy hunting!

  • From Trail Cams to Traps: A Hunter's Season in Review with Bradley Collings
    Generation Hunt Podcast, host Joe and CEO of BDS Outdoors, Bradley Collings , One of the main issues Bradley highlights is the disparity between the benefits offered to disabled veterans and the limitations they face when it comes to hunting on public land. In the state of Tennessee, disabled veterans receive a discounted hunting license, but they still have to pay additional fees to hunt on public land. This seems unfair, especially when compared to the lifetime sportsman license that covers all aspects of hunting for Bradley's children.
    Bradley raises the question of why disabled veterans are not granted the same privileges as those with the lifetime sportsman license. He believes that if the state offers a discounted or free license to disabled veterans, it should cover all hunting activities, including access to public land. This would provide disabled veterans with the same opportunities as other hunters and ensure equal treatment.
    Furthermore, Bradley expresses his frustration with the declining fur market and the financial challenges faced by trappers. He discusses his goals for trapping, which include mitigating the predator population and protecting livestock and poultry. However, he acknowledges the difficulties in making a profit from trapping due to low fur prices. Despite this, Bradley remains committed to trapping and finding sustainable ways to manage the predator population.
    Bradley emphasizes the importance of family involvement in his future hunting endeavors. He plans to focus on hunting with his wife and children, nurturing their interest in the sport and passing on his knowledge and skills. Bradley also mentions his desire to support his brother, who is a disabled veteran as well, by purchasing a sportsman license for him.

    When it comes to preparing for the season, Tyrell starts by scouting from the road and identifying deer movement patterns. He then transitions to shed hunting, which helps him understand how deer are traveling and using the land. He uses this information to locate bedding areas, trails, and food sources. Tyrell also utilizes trail cameras and mock scrapes to gather more data on deer movement.

    During the season, Tyrell focuses on specific target bucks. He hunts strategically, considering weather conditions, scrapes, and food sources. Tyrell also mentioned his preference for hunting from a saddle, which provides him with mobility and flexibility in choosing tree stand locations.

    Tyrell had an incredible season this year, harvesting 3 impressive bucks. one was a Kansas public land monster. He shared the stories behind these hunts, highlighting the importance of patience, persistence, and making the right decisions in the moment.

    Tyrell's journey as a hunter is a testament to the rewards of hard work, dedication, and a deep understanding of deer behavior. His focus on age and selective harvesting has allowed him to pursue mature bucks and contribute to the overall health of the deer population. Tyrell's success serves as an inspiration for hunters of all generations, reminding us that with the right mindset and knowledge, we can achieve our hunting goals.

  • Josh Borrow

From the adrenaline rush of spotting a buck to the challenges of navigating the terrain, Josh provides a glimpse into the world of whitetail hunting. we will delve into the key takeaways from the podcast episode and explore the importance of effective deer management practices.

    One of the standout features of hunting in Ohio, as highlighted by Josh, is the diverse and challenging terrain. With hilly landscapes and thick underbrush, Ohio presents a unique hunting experience compared to other regions. The dense briar patches and thick hardwoods make it essential for hunters to be prepared for the physical demands of traversing the terrain.

    Josh emphasizes the thrill of the predator-prey game that comes with hunting whitetail deer. Understanding deer patterns and strategically positioning oneself to go undetected requires careful planning and observation. From identifying funnel points to studying wind patterns, the chess match between hunter and deer adds an element of excitement to the hunt.

    One crucial lesson Josh learned during his hunting journey is the importance of scent control. He noticed a significant difference in deer sightings when hunting with the wind in his favor versus when the wind was iffy. This realization led him to prioritize scent control, which ultimately increased his chances of encountering deer. Paying attention to wind direction and investing in scent control measures can greatly enhance the hunting experience.

    One aspect that sets Ohio apart from other states is its deer management practices. Ohio hunters take great pride in managing their deer population and selectively harvesting mature bucks. This approach has led to an increase in the quality of deer found in the state. By practicing restraint and waiting for larger, more mature bucks, hunters contribute to the overall health and sustainability of the deer population.

    Michigan's Deer Management: In contrast, Michigan's deer management practices have faced criticism due to the two-buck license system. This system often leads to the overharvesting of younger bucks, hindering the growth of mature deer populations. To improve the quality of deer in Michigan, hunters must adopt a more selective approach and focus on harvesting mature bucks while also targeting does to maintain a balanced population.

    Josh's experiences hunting whitetail deer in Ohio provides valuable insights into the thrill and challenges of the sport. From the unique terrain to the strategic game of predator and prey, whitetail hunting offers an exhilarating experience for hunters.
