This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John digs through the archives to one of his favorite old interviews with state furbearer biologist Jerrod Davis. Next to bigfoot, mountain lions are Oklahomas second most elusive creature. It seems like every person you meet has one running around in the draw behind their barn, but is that really the case? Jerrod helps John uncover some of the mystery around big cats and just how many may be lurking around in Oklahoma. The guys talk about confirmed sightings, whether the population is growing or not, and what to do if you see one. It's a light hearted but very informative episode that is definitely worth a listen!

Live from the Total Archery Challenge at Terry Peak South Dakota, Ricky has a chat with his good buddy Rick Hanson.

If you’ve ever attended a Total Archery Challenge event, you have most likely rubbed elbows with the likes of Rick Hanson. His contagious laugh can be heard across the mountain as a sure sign that Rick is having a good time. Whether it’s with old time friends, or someone he just met, Rick is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. 

Rick is an inspiration to many as he set out to hike what he coined the Crow Peak 100 in 2020. Rick, among many of his supporters, was determined to summit Crow Peak, nestled into the Black Hills of South Dakota, 100 times in a single season. Without a doubt, he pulled it off. That’s nearly 700 total miles with a combined elevation gain of 156,800 feet of elevation! In 2023, Rick also completed 6 major Black Hills summits, approx 35 miles, in a single day. 

Ricky and Rick (Rick 2.0) discuss how they first got to know each other through a business that Ricky was a part of in 2010, called Pimp My Bow. They first met at a 3D archery shoot, Bowcast at the Bird, at Snowbird Ski Resort in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. After a day of shooting, it was clear that they would long be friends. Rick 2.0 dive into how simply amazing it is, that a bow can bring so many people together, to share in laughter and joy. 

Rick Hanson is the curator of a social media following known as @projectrick. He discusses the purpose of this movement, along with its clever tagline,“Don’t Die Rusty”. Project Rick provides a daily dose of positivity through his eyes, which rarely miss a sunrise, and his words of encouragement have transformed many lives.

In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking about several iconic firearms of the Great Depression era that have long been admired in the hunting industry. We start by visiting what hunting was like during the Great Depression era. Have you seen Teddy Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” Royal Grand Double rifle? The one he used to kill elephants, rhinoceros, and other big game in Africa? Find out where you can go see it on display in Louisville, Kentucky. Roosevelt worked really hard to preserve public lands and protect hunting for future generations. He was behind important hunting regulations such as the Lacey Act of 1900 and the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906. During this time, market hunting turned into subsistence hunting and the North American Model of Conservation was established. 

One of these notable guns of the era is the Winchester 1894. We check one out in .30-.30 and learn why this lever action rifle became a popular big game hunting rifle by many Americans after the Army Calvary carried it. The Winchester 1894 then became available to the general population as an affordable and reliable firearm. Why is the .30-.30 such a popular caliber for whitetail deer hunting? The Winchester 1894 has also become a cherished possession that’s been handed down in families over the generations. What is it that just makes lever guns so cool?

Shotguns were also utilized during the Depression era but their popularity in America goes all the way back to the 1700s when smoothbore flintlocks were found throughout the colonies. When J.M. Browning came out with the Auto 5 (A5) in 1905, it completely changed the game as a repeating semi-automatic shotgun. Even how this gun came to market has a complicated and exciting story–find out how it all happened! There are so many different versions of the A5 out there now in many different gauges–head to gunbroker.com to see what’s available and find out which gauge is the most popular and why.

We also showcase the Winchester Model 70 that came out in 1936 during the Great Depression. This bolt-action rifle became an iconic gun and highly collectible in a variety of calibers and barrel lengths. There is a pile of these on GunBroker in a wide range of calibers and conditions. This rifle became the “Rifleman’s Rifle” and a true do-it-all rifle with a stunning aesthetic and function.  

Finally, we talk a bit about the lifestyle of the hunter and trapper during the Great Depression era and why they used the firearms they did. What was the average wage? How much were pelts selling for? During this challenging economic period, hunting provided a means for individuals and families to obtain food and survive, supplementing the scarce resources available during the Depression era.

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!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan and his wife Samantha recap Sam’s first time shooting her bow and what they are doing to get ready for Archery season.

Dan and Sam have been married for nearly 10 years and love doing life together. They share multiple social media pages as well as a podcast all under the name We Are Dan And Sam. Although Sam attended a women’s archery night when they lived in Colorado, this was her first experience shooting a compound bow. Sam got a Mathews Prima for her birthday last year which she hopes to become proficient with and start hunting on their local whitetail property. With less than 2 months before bow season they decided to dust off the equipment and get ready.

Right now, much of the whitetail's range is experiencing pretty significant drought conditions. Whitetail destination states such as Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, and Missouri are among the worst hit. This will certainly affect ag production, food plots, mast production, and even browse. If the drought continues into the fall, these conditions will create a difficult hunting season for many. But if you know how to adjust for drought conditions, you could be on your way to one of your best whitetail seasons yet. 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Sam Bilhorn of Whitetail Partners about adjusting your habitat and hunting strategy for drought conditions. Sam shares how he adapts to drought conditions on his property, and how his scouting and hunting strategy will differ if the drought continues into hunting season. Enjoy!
