Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

 In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk all about the upcoming deer season, it’s definitely crunch time. Brayden talks about moving trail cameras to new spots to hopefully catch some real big mature whitetails coming through to hopefully pattern before season opener. Jacob speaks on not having sighted his bow even though season is right around the corner. Any of you guys wait until the last moment to get your bow dialed in?

We then dive into Dan’s upcoming draw hunt at land between the lakes. We talked about the kit for his trip, what he plans to take, and his plan on camping in his truck. He talks about checking OnX for his draw to see what his zone looks like; map wise he thinks it looks phenomenal. Dan and Brayden go into learning thermals for hunting and just how complicated it is but if done correctly can absolutely pay off. Dan mentions going scouting soon for his hunt, because he learned the hard way that scouting off of map images isn’t always what you expect it’s going to be!

Jacob speaks on his recent trip to Toccoa River in Georgia that he cannot recommend enough for a fun fishing trip. He fished both the upper and lower parts of Lake Blue Ridge catching some nice trout while wading in abnormally shallow water that he couldn’t quite figure out why the fish were hanging out in it. The next day he goes on a float trip with a group of guys, and it was absolutely painfully slow. Pro-tip make sure you float when the dam is turned on to make the trip go at a decent speed. 

Wrapping up the episode Dan updates us on his upcoming total eclipse plans for next year after searching high and low for a reasonable AirBnB. His awesome plans include being on a kayak in the middle of the lake for the eclipse, talk about an awesome experience! If you ever want to engage in a long conversation with Dan just make sure you bring up the eclipse!

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about real pop culture firearms such as the Walther PPK and the Smith & Wesson Model 29. We start the episode off diving into the history of the Walther PPK and how it made its way into the James Bond films. Logan delves into the history of the PPK and how it’s dated back to the early 1930s before being used by Germans in WWII, some of these early models had a requirement for the magazine to be serialized and match the gun’s serial number. Logan has a magazine that is serialized and is always looking to be able to pair that magazine to its original gun. We talk on how we got introduced to the Walther PPK through Bond, while iconic to the movies almost all of us have stronger memories of using it playing 007 Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64. How were you introduced to the Walther PPK?

Next up, maybe one of, if not if THE most iconic movie guns…Dirty Harry’s Smith & Wesson Model 29. Smith & Wesson were in a bad spot with the Model 29, almost completely scraping it from their lineup until the success of Dirty Harry pushed it to the forefront of the spotlight, causing national backorder for many years. Brad asked about the value of firearm memorabilia from movies comparing both real firearms and prop guns. While credible proof of them being used in a movie carries value, the real firearms generally carry a much heftier price tag. Logan tells his story of how he’s tied to Dirty Harry’s Model 29, and you guys will absolutely not believe it, make sure you listen in to hear his cool story.

We end the episode with Dan talking about the two most iconic movies from his childhood. He starts a conversation about how the impracticality of a gun in a movie makes it more memorable to people who watch. Logan retouches on a previous episode about the takedown lever action rifle from John Wick 4, Mad Pig Customs reached out and set the record straight on if it’s a real gun or a fantasy gun. Make sure to listen through the end of the podcast to see the answer on this awesome gun.

On this Episode of Huntavore, September is here and the final push to season opener for whitetails is here upon us.  Nick walks through his archery equipment and how he checks the condition of very vital gear.  Later he breaks down the contents of a recovery bag and his own kill kit for making life easier and cleaner when bringing home the harvest.  Lots of good tasks to add to your to do list on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick starts out with a run through of his archery setup; saddle, sticks, platform, bow, & arrow.  Getting the stand pieces organized, and essential parts checked for damage or wear is a priority at the moment.  Only real change this year is switching to a framed pack.  He purchased the F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches.  While it’s not been tested in the whitetail woods, the pack served Nick very well chasing elk.  Light and study, modular and expandable, Nick hopes for more stability than his frameless pack.

Kill bags can range from full kits in the deep wilderness, to a sealable freezer bag with a few essentials.  Preparing for success can make the recovery process a whole heck of a lot easier.

My whitetail kill kit:

All fits in Quart sealable freezer bag; 3’ x 3’ folded plastic sheet or contractors bag, Gallon sealable freezer bag, Gloves, 2 blue shop towel sheets, A folding replaceable blade knife, Length of paracord.

Tossed in the pack pocket: Fixed blade, bull nosed gut hook knife,Hoof shackles/ drag rope

Elk or deep woods add ons:

Bigger ground cover, Honing stone/steel or sharpener, Another knife, Bone saw, Game bags, A bit more length of paracord

Items to consider:

Butt out II, Roll of TP, Game Cart/electric bike saddle bags, Meat hauler pack

Once those dreams were realized, the team assembled, and dove in head first. Dan and Scott work through the history of Dialed as a company and the process in which became the die-hard hunter that he is today.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 189 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Alex and Jeff of Vantage Point Archery.  Jeff is one of the owners and Alex is the marketing manager for VPA.  Nothing like getting a chance to speak with individuals that truly care so much about archery and bowhunting.  During this conversation you will hear the passion and drive that Jeff has when it comes to both of these communities.  You will also get to hear Alex speak about the new Omega broadhead and how she likes to keep things simple when it comes to her setup.  We get into various topics in this conversation, from the what and why of their products, setups, the archery/hunting community, working with Joel Turner and more.

We begin this episode by hearing Jeff and Alex share who VPA is and how they are a family run business out of Indiana.  You get to hear Jeff share some of his thoughts about his hunting setup and how he ultimately believes you just need to shoot what YOU feel is the best for you and enjoy shooting confidently!  They both share some specifics about some of the heads they offer and the current affairs in bowhunting.  Both also share the experience they had with Joel Turner recently and how that has helped them and we wrap the conversation up with what this upcoming year looks like for both individuals as well as VPA. So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Alex and Jeff and make sure to follow along with what VPA is doing over at VPARCHERY.COM!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast Nate gets the pleasure of speaking with Joel Turner, founder of Shot IQ, a system to control and overcome target panic.  Joel first gets into his background and how this all came about.  Then we dive into archery and the age old problem alot of us have, buck fever, and steps Joel wants people to think about when shooting their bows.  From practice to the money shot, we as humans are susceptible to this issue, and Joel has started a process to help eliminate that.  Thanks to Joel for coming on and sharing his knowledge and thanks for listening!
