Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by Jesse Griffiths; Author, Restaurant owner, and champion of local eating.  This episode jumps right into seasonal food preparation, and of course we pick the brain of the author who wrote The Hog Book on how Nick can keep enjoying his wild hogs.  A lot to harvest and hold onto on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick had the pleasure of digitally sitting down with Jesse to talk about seasonal foods and Wild Hogs.  In Texas, seasonality is key.  When it’s in season and growing, take advantage.  When the season is over and the heat of summer comes, those precious produce or proteins will be drying up.  He talks about his restaurant, Dai Due and how when farmers are producing, that is the time to bring in the great produce, and then to spread the love, preserving that bounty is key.  Pickling, drying, freezing, you name it.  Meat is similar in that Jesse’s menu will adapt to what the rancher has available.  That nose to tail doesn’t have to stay in the house, but nose to tail can extend to the entire community.  To finish up, Nick does want to talk wild pigs.  Jesse explains like it that pigs are so variable from one pig to the next, and even season to season.  No water, limited food and graze, the product at that point will be gamey. When the rains come and forage blossoms, that’s when hogs can be their tastiest.

We are following up with part two of our conversation with Sherwood Schoch this week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman.  We picked up from last week with the continued development and material first used in Jennings bows.  Using trial and error they began to revolutionize the archery industry we know today.  One of the four authors on the National Archery Association manual is Sherwood - and he also played a large role establishing archery in the olympics.

With the connections Sherwood made in his career, you can imagine the stories and people he met along the way.  Stories with Fred Bear at Grouse Haven Lodge, and meeting celebrities like Ted Nugent and Ted Williams.  We cover it all in this episode, with the living archery legend, Sherwood Schoch.

In this episode, Ricky and Hollywood have a chat with Josh Wells of the Wells Outdoor Journal

Josh is an all-around outdoor maniac. In the Spring you’ll find him spending most of his time in the Turkey woods and guiding for bears on the western landscape. Whether it be with a gun, compound bow, longbow or muzzleloader, in the Fall he’ll be filling the freezer with multiple species in anyway possible. There is no season where Josh doesn’t have a fishing rod in his hands and he is also an accomplished taxidermist. 

Josh tells the story about what led him to where he is today. Discussions about what fulfillment means for him, the dangers of expectation, and the importance of embracing the moments we have in the valleys are among the main topics. 

*NEW* Because of the popularity of our Shiny Objects segment, we’ve decided to give it a dedicated episode. You heard that right, episodes of The Range will be out every Monday starting now.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we talk with Alex McKay all about the ins and outs of Maine lobster fishing. We cover his story about how he began lobster fishing and his journey from then until now. The guys also do some talking about an upcoming fishing trip, if they can pull it all together, and hopefully Alex gets to join in while he’s here!

Alex tells us all about Maine lobster fishing. He covers any and everything about lobsters! From what it’s like to be on a lobster boat fishing in the brutal cold of Maine to what time of year the lobsters taste the best! He talks about the legal requirements to be able to catch lobsters in Maine and what lobsters you can and cannot keep. Alex warns the guys just how dangerous the seas can be, both in itself and other territorial fishermen. He also spends some time talking about upcoming protections for right whales and how some of that may change the way lobster fishing is done.

Of course we then pivot to food; how can you talk about lobsters without talking about lobster rolls?! However, absolutely do not mention cream cheese when it comes to a lobster roll! Alex describes to the guys his perfect lobster roll, and even invites them up to Maine to personally craft one for them!

If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a rate and review!!

[UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers. [UNCENSORED] is a behind the scenes look at our adventures, failures, wins, embarrassing moments at trade shows, hilarious tales from the warehouse, and a good rant or three about the most recent tyranny from the Dark Lord of the Sith himself.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, Ben Harrison of the Bowhunting League is back and he brought along some friends. If you haven't heard of the Bow Hunting league, it is a family friendly nationwide bow hunting competition that is completely free to enter. The main reason it remains free is due to the help of great sponsors like the ones that joined in on this episode. Ryan Stricklin of Native Ground Land Co. and Bren Chapman of Okie Land Bow Hunters archery shop are two of the Oklahoma based sponsors of the league, and they joined Ben and John to talk about all the ins and outs of the competition. 

Oklahoma has held its own in the competition over the years. Last year Oklahoma was second in entries, and multiple Oklahoma Teams finished towards the top of the leaderboard. While it is called a competition, the league is much more about camaraderie and bringing folks together rather than tearing them apart. If you don't have access to prime hunting ground, don't worry. There are all kinds of prizes to be won, some as easily as just signing up! Did we mention it's free?
