Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

We are very excited to get the chance to talk with no other than Jason Phelps on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast this week.  Nate and Micah got to sit down with Jason and discuss all kinds of fun things.  We get into our bow set ups, then naturally talk about elk with him, and also talk about Jason's first whitetail experience last season.  This episode was a blast to record and we hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording it.

Hunting season is one week closer, and to get you fired up, we've got an awesome success story from Wisconsin native Jake Mersberger. Jake grew up hunting southern Wisconsin. In recent years, his job has required him to move and travel, which has opened up opportunities for him to chase whitetails and turkeys in several different states. In 2022, Jake headed to Nebraska where he was able to catch up to a GIANT 12 point on public dirt.  Enjoy!

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk about the upcoming hunting season. We start off with Dan Johnson getting into a story about hostile horses that he deals with on a piece of property he hunts. These horses absolutely do not want to see Dan coming through. From messing with his truck, making tons of noise in the woods, all the way to even picking him up! Yes, you read that correctly! Listen in to see how a horse picked him up completely off the ground while he was trying to whitetail hunt!

Next up Brayden talks about getting out and scouting for this upcoming hunting season. He talks about the

 logistics of how he’s figuring out where these big mature bucks are and where he can get to them on a chokepoint. With some real dandies on camera this season, he’s super excited to go after them! Dan and Brayden get into a talk about how helpful it is to pattern mature does that then help you pattern the mature bucks. Dan speaks adamantly about just how important this is and how many people do not take the time to do so. If you can pattern your mature does early season, it could potentially pay off huge dividends during the rut.

We end our episode with Derek telling all about his recent troubles getting his bow dialed in. Different sights, same issues! What do you think was causing his bow to shoot low every shot? Hunting season is just around the corner, make sure to subscribe to hear all our upcoming hunting content.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, we chat with Ricky Brule a passionate hunter and the marketing force behind Vapor Trail Archery. Like most hunter profiles, we get to hear about Ricky's hunting origin story as a kid who was interested in archery and bowhunting. Ricky talks about recently being diagnosed ADHD and the benefit archery brings to himself and others with that diagnosis. Ricky along with "Hollywood" just kicked off a new podcast called "The Range" that explores both hunting and target archery. Just another awesome interview with a serious and passionate bowhunter.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about how military technology impacted the way we hunt today. In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about how military technology impacted the way the modern outdoorsman hunts today. We dive in with an integral part of the hunting industry: optics. Allen starts with Leupold, who at one point in time was the largest provider of small arms optics for the US Military. He tells us about the differences between optics that are military spec and optics that are consumer based with some military features. Logan spends some time talking about the Nydar Model 47 Shotgun sight, which is based on a military aviation sight, that was scaled down for shotguns. Next, Allen speaks on military bolt-action surplus rifles that were modified into hunting rifles. These guns were very inexpensive, which led to hundreds of thousands of these guns being sporterized. This conversation led us to Logan sharing a book from 1963, called “How to Convert Military Rifles” or in Logan’s words “How to Destroy a Military Firearm.” These books covered multiple different makes and models of military rifles and every step on how to convert them to a deer gun. Have you ever run across one of these sporterized rifles? We’d love to know if so! Brad brings up the modern sporting rifle field and how the AR-15 is a modern take on sporterizing a military rifle. From small game all the way to big game, the AR-15 has become a staple in the outdoor industry. Offering a ton of customization options and versatility, the AR-15 style rifle has boomed in the outdoors with many companies offering options specifically built for game and ready for consumers to take the woods. We end with a conversation on the first recruits in the Revolutionary War being men who grew up hunting. Brad speaks on how the Lewis & Clark Expedition looked specifically for rugged outdoorsmen and how those skillsets later converted well over to military. Allen ends up going through some amazing options for modern sporting rifles available on GunBroker.com If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a rating and review!! The No Lowballers podcast is a brand new joint venture between GoWild and GunBroker.com to explore the history and heritage of firearms. We hope to expose you to the vintage guns of the golden age along with newer, modern

guns, specialty items, and a few other odd balls along the way. Jump in and come along for the ride! The show launches every Thursday morning. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
