Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

Today’s show opens with us talking about gear searching on GunBroker.com. Dan daydreams about a new .30-.30 that he’s had his eyes on for a while. We talk about maintenance for our outdoor equipment for this upcoming hunting season, it can get pretty expensive quickly if you’re not careful! Brad talks about putting time in behind the bow in preparation for his upcoming hunting season, he had to swap out his sight but he’s still shooting pretty consistent groups out to 30 yards which is as far as he’ll be shooting on his hunting spot. Brad’s new hunting spot is a tree farm that has some positive outlook for this season, almost like clockwork every afternoon at 6:00 PM it’s a deer party! Brad’s first day in the stand was a super interesting one, deer were absolutely everywhere all evening. He ended up stuck in the stand having to wait until deer cleared out of his area, listen to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to see what showed up after he dropped his bow to the ground!

Next up Brayden goes into his weekend hunting the first cold front of the year. The temperatures were all over the place from sweating when arriving at the stand to cold by night. It seemed like the perfect recipe for a great evening of deer. The only caveat? The wind was all over the place which may have led to a slower evening of deer. Brayden’s new saddle setup caused him a little bit of a headache during the first sit this year but once he fine tunes his new setup it’s going to be super convenient for him, listen in to see what he changed on his setup this year. We talk about the best positions to sit in the tree saddle to be the most comfortable. We all have some interesting ways to get comfy but Dan’s may take the cake. He calls it the koala bear; you absolutely have to tune in to hear his description of this!

Closing out we talk about waterfowl hunting. Brayden and his crew were drawn for an absolute sweet duck hunting spot this year. We talk about just how different duck hunting is in different parts of the country and how everyone seems to hunt ducks a little differently. We talk about how waterfowl hunting is a different type of “fun” hunting. It’s often miserable when out in the woods but the good hunts always make good stories afterwards.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by the the host of the "Antler Up" podcast, Jeremy Dinsmore. The guys get in to a very deep and very detailed conversation about cold fronts that come through during early October. Both share their experiences in the woods trying to catch up with a mature buck during dropping temps. Other topics of discussion include the importance of trail cameras data, using vacation time in early October vs. during late October or the Rut, and if cold fronts this time of year are even worth hunting. Another great episode surrounding hunting strategy, enjoy!

Ed, Tanner and Cody sit down with Scott Hampton after a morning of calling in coyotes and watching Scott’s dogs work. Decoy dogs are a blast and you can still hear the fun and excitement in everyone’s voices. Well, for Scott it may be old hat, but the rest of the guys were pumped!

There is a lot of information on decoy dogs for both the guy that is starting out and the experienced decoy dog hunter. Scott holds a wealth of knowledge and is very open about sharing what he knows with others.

Topics discussed:
How decoy dog hunting works
The types of dogs used

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking famous firearm flops! Guns that had huge potential to change the industry, but just could never gain the steam. We start off with the Colt Model 1855 Revolving Rifle, which was a super interesting concept, but design flaws kept it from really taking off. One of the biggest problems was cased ammunition not being invented yet, as well as manufacturing issues straight from the factory. Now, remade with a modern take in the Heritage Rancher Carbine, these guns have gained some popularity and there’s still one common problem, no one knows how to hold them when shooting!

Next up, we delve into the 1960s, The Great Space Race! Astronauts, rockets, and Gyrojet Rocket Pistols! A rocket fuel powered firearm that was extremely complex and awesome, but just too early for its time. Arguably one of the best names for a handgun ever, it was hammer fired, but the hammer was in front of the cartridge that then drove it into the firing pin. The downside is that you didn’t get your maximum velocity until the bullet was downrange.

The Remington Model R51 had an absolute fantastic lead up to its launch, tons of good content and marketing hype that really made this gun a must have, but there was a downside? The gun was subpar at best. Different from the original R51, it was unfortunately a complete flop for Remington, who swiftly buried any evidence of its existence under the rug. A great conversation piece in firearm history, however, they can be picked up for a fantastic deal on GunBroker.com.

Closing out, we talk about the Heckler & Koch G11. Caseless ammunition has stumped manufacturers for years and with the H&K G11, it was no exception. Ahead of its time, with a large failure to launch these guns are extremely hard to find, however other caseless ammunition does sometimes pop up on GunBroker.com. Still to this day the caseless ammunition has not been figured out or mastered, hopefully one day in the future! Allen goes over some of the examples of these guns and ammunition you can find today on GunBroker.com.

Heath had the opportunity to take a lifelong coonhunter on his first bear hunt. Jerry Barker tells about his first experience following Heath and the rag-tag pack of dogs through the Virginia mountains. Being from Kentucky, Jerry wasn’t phased from the dirt track circuit Heath took him through. Wes joins Heath to run over some training season questions.

• Short pup update
• Pack issues
• Females in heat
• Rigging problems
• Heavily pressured areas

It’s always a blessing to share first-time experiences with people who have never had the opportunity to pursue some of the most majestic animals on the planet. We can all do our part by taking one person at a time to be a part of your journey.

There will be no more important fight in 2024 in your world as a houndsman than this one. This is the battleground. The lines have been drawn and all of hunting will be affected. In particular, the anti hunting groups will use this victory to create a road map to eliminate hunting with hounds in your state. This will be a multi million dollar blood bath and Houndsman XP wants to know are you in the fight or not?

Dan Gates with Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM) joins Chris in this first of many podcasts to bring you up to speed on what is going on with an introduced ballot initiative to eliminate mountain lion and bobcat hunting in the state of Colorado. We are in the beginning stages of what will be an epic battle. Dan gives the listener as much info as he can at this point. 

It is simple; you are either with us or against us.
