Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

In this episode, Ricky and Hollywood have a chat with Sam Soholt of Public Land Tees and the main topic of conversation is Conservation. 

Sam and his brother Josh have dedicated much of their lives to conserving wildlife, as well as preserving the tradition of the hunt. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they started a campaign to raise conservation funds known as “Stamp It Forward”. The campaign has contributed to the purchase of thousands of Federal Duck Stamps, infusing tens of thousands of dollars into Wetland Conservation. Of those dollars, 98% by law, must be used for Wetland Conservation. 

As Sam mentions, “What’s good for the bird, is good for the herd”. Wetland conservation provides habitat for over 700 different species of animals, including small and big game. This year, they have stepped it up a notch with the 100 Mile Duck Ruck. Sam will hike 100 miles, through the Prairie Pothole region, in an attempt to earn the funds pledged for the campaign. Sam is swinging for the fences to raise $100,000! Head over to publiclandtees.com/duckruck to participate. Link will also be in our bio.

 In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk about total solar eclipses, bears, and the GoWild x Federal Ammunition sweepstakes weekend! We open the episode with Dan talking all about his upcoming plans for the 2024 total solar eclipse. He talks all in detail about his first time experiencing a total eclipse and just how amazing it was. Listen in to hear his favorite parts about it. He gives some pointers on finding out the perfect spots on where to experience this for yourself and how he believes everyone needs to experience it at least once in their life.

Next up Derek tells all about his recent trip to Tennessee to scout for bears and fish! While bear scouting he found an absolute gem of a fishing spot that yielded an awesome time catching small mouths. Judging by the map this spot is rarely ever fished and he could definitely tell by how they reacted. The fishing was good enough that next year he’s already planning a two-day float trip down the river. He also spends some time talking about the tooth data of his bear he harvested in Colorado last year. Super interesting information on the average age of bears that were harvested in Colorado last season.

Closing out this episode Jacob talks about the trip with Craig Arnold the winner of the GoWild x Federal Ammunition sweepstakes and their weekend with Jim Gilliland. Talking about an eye opening experience learning tons of information, Jacob definitely has some easier ways to sight in his rifle this season! Jim gave some awesome tips on using a tripod in various shooting situations to create a shooting bench as well as some long range shooting pointers for Jacob and Craig.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about Russian Cold War Weapons! 

If one of us disappears by the end of the show, you know why. We open up with a discussion about how exactly to pronounce Makarov, pretty sure we still don’t have it down yet! Logan and Allen go into a discussion of the origin of the Makarov. From the ammo to the firearm itself, the Makarov has a super interesting background. With an extremely long shelf life from 1951 until present, the Makarov has been a staple in Russia and other communist countries. Dan asks a question about manufacturers of Makarovs specifically during the Cold War, the motto was if the government says you make Makarovs...you make Makarovs. 

Then we pivot to the Stechkin APS, a select-fire machine pistol, by your fourth shot you’re sending lead at passing planes! The Stechkin had a very short shelf life, mostly due to the complete impracticality of them specifically in military scenarios, albeit they are super fun guns to shoot. While you can still find a Stechkin today, they are nowhere near as widely available as the Makarov, with many bringing a very large premium. 

We spend some time talking movies and how the bad guys always have the Russian firearms! Spoiler alert, if the good guy pulls out a Makarov, chances are he won’t be the good guy for long. Do you know of a movie where the good guy carried a Makarov? Another movie easter egg proves that we may have some double agents at the table, listen in to see how we know who it is! 

Allen gives us a run down on Russian surplus guns available on GunBroker.com and how the market is changing due to parts kits being harder to source.

Early season whitetails. Some people hate 'em. Some people love 'em. Everyone agrees that deer hunting early season can be a challenge. While it's true that success rates in the early season are lower than say the first week of November, the early season really does provide a great opportunity to arrow a great buck while others are still waiting for it to "feel like fall".

The challenges of hunting the early season have led many to overthink what's actually pretty simple. Notice I didn't say it's easy. It can be really, really tough. But it is simple. And in this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Tony Peterson about some very simple and proven tactics for bowhunting early season whitetails. Enjoy!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsmen, Mitch starts off with an update on season preparation.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get stands, plots, and more ready for opening day!  Habitat management and private land hunting strategy are something Mitch enjoys deeply, and these recent projects got him fired up; prompting a little bit of philosophical argument between private land and public land hunting.  At the end of the day, do what you love!

The main course of this episode Mitch is joined by Nick Otto, host of the Huntavore podcast on Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network.  Prior to marriage and kids, Mitch used to butcher deer within 1-2 days of harvesting during early season when the weather was warm.  Now, it takes a bit more planning to accommodate processing into daily life.  Processors are always an option, but if you enjoy doing it yourself and want to save some coin, this episode may help you out!  Nick discusses the proper measures to take after the shot during the early season.  We navigate field dressing, skinning, quartering, cleaning, aging, temperature, and more.  Lastly, if you do not have a walk-in cooler, Nick provides some excellent tips on how to turn household appliances into a poor man's deer cooler, buying you time to process!  This is a fantastic episode for quality table fare!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 188 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Byron Horton from The Whitetail Experience.  Byron is a guest that I am extremely excited to have on the show! I have been watching Bryon’s YouTube videos the last few years and tune into his podcast whenever he drops them right here on the Sportmen’s Empire! This is one of those episodes where you name it, we talked about it when it comes to hunting whitetails! From the struggles of last season, mobile gear, the pay to play, self-filming and getting the last minute pieces together for this upcoming season, we talked about it!  

We begin this episode by hearing Byron discuss some of the struggles he encountered last season and if there are any goals heading into this upcoming year.  We dive into some early season hunts that can be possible for Byron and the struggles with hunting during the early season.  We get into what Byron is doing right now to make sure everything is good to go for the year and what steps are needed to dial in your setup with all the gear before the year begins.  We also get into self-filming talk and this was really great to hear because I believe Byron does a hell of a job with the camera and telling a story through the lens.  If you haven’t had the chance to watch any of his videos, this evening go to YouTube and check them out! Some freaking awesome hunts! Byron also shares information regarding his Uncut series which is also on his YouTube channel…..So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Byron and make sure to follow along with what he is doing over at The Whitetail Experience!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

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