Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with Jeff Miller of Vantage Point Archery about their company and their broadheads. The guys talk about how how VPA got it's start and how a machining company started to manufacture broadheads. Jeff breaks down how they came up with the design of their broadheads, the product testing that was involved, and how the first heads they brought to market were received by the public. VPA heads are machined from a single piece of material and Jeff talks about the benefits of this design. This episode talks a look behind the VAP curtain, enjoy!

Let’s just cut to the chase. Do you want to catch more stuff with your hounds? Do you want increased success rates? We cannot achieve that if we do not understand what is causing barriers to that success. The old man down the road that has been hunting for fifty years may be a able to help, providing he hasn’t been doing it wrong for fifty years. It’s no slight to him if he didn’t understand what the real problem was.

After their last conversation, Heath follows up with Clinton Cillers from South Africa. They had barely scratched the surface on dog behavior and training a trailing dog. After the dry season a rain shower makes trailing seem easy. Heath and Clinton talk about how the different weather elements and the climate changes everything from the style and speed at which the dogs move to how they react when they make lose. The discussion gets very technical on behavior during a proximity alert and how air blown scent is stronger than ground scent. They give examples of what this means to all types of training. Clinton and Heath believe that self discovery is the ultimate teacher of any training. The two finish up the hour with scent pools and what it means, how the dogs struggle to work through them and what you may be witnessing without knowing what is actually taking place. This episode is packed full of knowledge and valuable information if you want to train better dogs and enjoy more success. Glad to have you along on the Journey.

There has never been a bigger impact for Houndsmen than the WOLF. Houndsmen have had their futures and breeding programs altered, changed the way they hunt, changed areas they hunt, even moved their families to new areas of the country hundreds of miles away all because of the wolf. 

The Foundation For Wildlife Management (f4wm) is a group that is taking on the weaponized, politicized and mischaracterized issue of the invasion and impact of the Canadian Grey Wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. Justin Webb is the CEO for the f4wm. Justin saw the impact the wolf was making on native wildlife populations, how it was affecting recreation opportunities and destroying hunting opportunities in areas that were once teeming with wildlife. He was not willing accept that. He recognized that the wolf is a project that is weaponized by the anti hunting community, a political hot potato and was being forced down the throat of every hunter. His efforts have created an organization that has taken the issue straight on. The f4wm has worked with many sporting organizations and wildlife managers to put aggressive management plans in place that has reduced wolf numbers by over 1600 wolves and paid out over $1 million in reimbursement to hunters and trappers taking wolves.

This is a must listen podcast for every Houndsman that is serious about preserving our lifestyle. This is Fair Chase.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Jacob is moving slow, but catching up with a cup of Wildland Coffee. The boys went to the Bassmaster Classic in Tennessee, got to hang out with some vendors, met a few pros, and took a selfie with the Godfather of flop, Mr. Bill Dance. Dan Johnson shares a legendary Bill Dance story with the one time he got beat!  We talk about the thrill of the big event and what the pros are doing to stay on fish. If you’ve ever wondered how one of these tournaments works, we’ve got your answers.

Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire is our featured guest once again, this time to talk about many of the new proposed rules and regulations around hunting. Dan talks through some of the issues and lets us know what’s happening and why hunters should be concerned. He talks about companies hiring lobbyists to push new hunting laws for the companies to make money. He also poses some difficult questions, like should we have a firearm season on whitetails during the rut, what role do wildlife managers serve, and who is really making these laws. He mentions you should contact your local representatives to share your opinions whether you support or disapprove of any new bills. Another great resource for hunters to stay “in the know” is by joining and supporting Sportsman’s Alliance. Hunters, anglers, trappers, and outdoorspeople should equally get involved with their state wildlife management agency to voice their concerns and express their wishes.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick’s sights turn southward as he is joined by John Hudspeth, Host of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast.  John may be the pickiest eater on the show, yet resides in a true sportsmen’s cornucopia of species to chase.  One in particular is the feral hog, an animal that brought a lot of attention to itself in the past several years.  John paints a picture of what Nick is to expect when he travels down and faces off against these formidable beasts.  To top it all off, John lays out a couple dishes for the Emperor’s Table that even picky eaters will enjoy.  Lots of great conversation on this episode of Huntavore.

John Hudspeth, AKA “The Voice of Oklahoma” , coined by one of his listeners, invited Nick and the Sportsmen’s Empire crew to a hog hunt.  Biting at the chance, Nick wanted to have John on the show to lay out what was to be expected when chasing hogs.  John gives some details on how to approach hog hunting, like feel free to take off in the morning, since the pigs in his area tend to be active evening and night.  Also, pigs are heavily motivated by food this time of year.  Put out the best grub, you’ll find the pigs.  Speaking of grub, John lays out some great dishes to be presented at the Emperor’s table.  John and the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast can be found on Mondays on Sportsmen’s Empire Network.

Tough weather conditions, large expanses of timber, apex predators, and low deer densities make finding any deer a challenge in Troy's neck of the woods. But Troy has found a strategy that works to consistently get him on some of eh biggest bucks in his region. Central to his hunting strategy is mock scrapes. Tune in to hear how Troy makes mock scrapes, why they're so successful, and how to capitalize on them where you hunt.
