Adam Keith of Land and Legacy joins John on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast this week to talk about terrain features and how to improve them. John has been struggling with the best way to hunt and improve a big saddle on his property, and Adam has plenty of suggestions to help. Topics include how terrain affects wind, what makes a saddle good for hunting, what makes a saddle bad for hunting, and things you can do to improve movement that is advantageous for hunting.

There are dozens of blind manufacturers out there in the market today. Fiberglass, wood, poly, metal and who knows what other materials they can be made from. With all these options, how are you supposed to know what is right for you? Well this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John discusses his search for the perfect deer blind for his needs. Two years of looking, researching, and testing led to picking the perfect blind for his hunting setups. Join him as he talks about several of the top brands on the market, and a few that might fly under the radar on this all in deer blind discussion.

Joshua Garroutte returns to the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast for a full on storytelling episode.

This week on the Oklahoma outdoors Podcast, John takes a little time out of the holiday craziness to sit down and remember a few of the good times 2021 brought.

When people think of elk hunting, Oklahoma is probably not the first place that comes to mind. In fact, most people probably don't even know that elk can be found, much less hunted, in Oklahoma. Mark Meador is one of the lucky few that got to chase elk in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in south west Oklahoma during the 2021 season. This week he comes on the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast to talk about his amazing experience. Mark and John cover everything from drawing the tag, the prep work and gear selection before hand, and of course the hunt itself. Mark is blown away by the beauty of the landscape and of course the abundance of game he was lucky enough to hunt. This is not an episode to skip!

If you hunt in or around Oklahoma, you have probably seen photos of a giant buck killed just a few miles off of Oklahoma State University's campus. On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, the student who bagged that giant buck joins John to tell the story of how it all went down. Cort Travis asked his land lord permission to hang a trail camera on a property he and some buddies had permission to goose hunt on, and that trail camera would lead to a story of a lifetime and a homecoming weekend Cort will never forget.

Day leases are the topic this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast. Logan Rust is a recent graduate of the University of Oklahoma and founder of Roam Outdoors. Logans passion for waterfowl hunting and frustration with gaining access led him to start a company that brings landowners and hunters together. Whether you are chasing dove, ducks, or deer, there is something for everyone at Roam outdoors. Not only is it a site for hunters to find a place to pursue their passion, it is a place for landowners to make some extra cash off of their property doing absolutely nothing!
