Hey, Bub! Outdoors

After a long summer hiatus, Hey, Bub! is back! 

In this episode, Matt and Adam discuss a variety of topics leading up to the 2021 deer season- archery setups, food plots, land management results, trail cameras & some hunting safety tips specific for THIS hunting season.

Tag along as the 2021 deer season begins!

Look Out! Cicada Brood X. is set to hatch in many states throughout the midwest and east coast in just a couple weeks. These loud, crazy and sometimes abnoxious insects provide a "relief" for many prey species and are a huge boost to the food supply for land a water species, alike.

Listen to Adam interview Matt about some of his recent research on the topic!

In this week's episode of Hey, Bub! Outdoors we have a conversation with Clint Young, a.k.a. "TK," about turkey hunting! Spring is right around the corner and the turkeys are already getting fired up. 

Clint shares some great tips and tactics for beginner and experienced turkey hunters alike! There's a few great hunting stories mixed in with all of the strategy talk, so sit back and enjoy!

Episode 6: Morel Mushroom Hunting 

As spring approaches, many of us look forward to getting outdoors. At Hey, Bub! Outdoors, one of our favorite spring activities is hunting for morel mushrooms as temperatures rise. Don’t know what morels are? Ever wondered where to find them and when to look? This week we are fortunate to have Jordy Miller on as our guest to walk us through how he has success finding these spongy little ‘shrooms. Morels aren’t just fun to look for, they are delicious and often plentiful if you know where to search. Give it a listen!

Well, it's that time of year - whitetail deer are dropping their antlers! If you've ever looked for "sheds" before, you may know it can be a bit of challenge to find them. This week, we have our friend Ron Decker on the podcast to shed (pun intended) some light on his strategy for finding antlers. Ron has filled an entire truck bed full of shed antlers that he found over about 8 years, so he is a great resource. Hope you enjoy!

You know what goes great with a big ol' stack ofpancakes? Maple Syrup! This week, we get a great tutorial from John Dosch at Pass It On Wilderness Skills about tapping maple trees for sap to make syrup. "Sugarin'" season will be upon us soon, so listen or watch this week's podcast to learn how!

Check out Pass It On Wilderness Skills to learn lots more about utilizing the resources around and developing wilderness skills. John is the man!

This week, we are thrilled to have Adam Keith from Land & Legacy on the podcast. Adam tells us how we can identify healthy wildlife habitat, what basic tools you need to improve your property, and how you can make a difference for wildlife in your own backyard. Give it a listen on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube!

In this episode, we introduce our hosts, Adam and Matt Strauser. We also discuss the reasons we started Hey, Bub! Outdoors, and give you insight on the types of topics we will be discussing.
