Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

On this episode of The Western Rookie Podcast, Brian talks with Duane Sessions about being a trophy husband and getting to hunt the entire fall.

Duane and Brian met last fall in Montana while chasing bugles with bows. Duane and his brother were camping nearby, and the guys talked almost daily between glassing spots and bonfire chats. Duane and his group helped Brian and Brian’s brother out of a tricky spot while in Montana and they have stayed in touch throughout the off season. Hear how Duane structured his life and his family to be able to hunt as much as he wants, why he never wants to ride a horse again, and how he adapts season to season and gets in on bulls.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Dan begins the show with some breaking news about a man who was imprisoned for beating someone to death with a moose antler. If you had to defend yourself with big game antler, which animal would you pick from? Brayden and Phil went shed antler hunting in a place that has been producing giant bucks. Find out how they used trail cam footage to know where to look for sheds. We also talked about several reasons why deer sheds are so hard to find. Dan has some unique coffee-drinking preferences.

The guys talk about their recent trout fishing trip: Find out why Dan didn’t make it. They met up with some GoWild members and had a good time. We share a must-visit location for anyone fishing in Kentucky or looking to try out fly fishing and want to catch some tasty trout. Jacob mentions what makes this time of year his dream time for fishing. He also mentions one thing to watch out for with your fly line and how to get some help from a buddy with a net. Jacob goes into battle after a brute. 

[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.

On this episode of Huntavore, the Emperor’s Table continues to fill up as the Missouri Woods & Water hosts, Nathan, Micha, and Andy join Nick for a fantastic chat.  We talk about celebration meals, including Nathan enjoying venison steak with his boy.  Things go sideways as Nick loses power, but the gang finishes with their submission to the Emperor's Table.  Join us for a great episode of Huntavore.

On today’s episode Nick is joined by the whole crew from Missouri Woods & Water Podcast, Nathan, Micha, and Andy.  These guys are always looking to hang out together, or find a way to be outdoors.  The guys like to chase coyotes as much as deer, yet cautious of putting one on a grill or smoker.  However, Micha has a love for red meat; beef and venison alike.  Something he prides himself in is his smoked beef tongue.  A very underused cut, yet surprises a lot of naysayers  with a wonder flavor that isn't off putting.  To finish, the three present their submissions to the Emperor’s Table, adding to the wonderful bounty.  Check these guys out at the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast on Sportsmen’s Empire.

If there is one thing for certain, it is that no matter how hard we try to slow it down, time marches on. The same goes for Dick Brothers and his line of Charley Creek coonhounds. They keep marching on.

On this episode of Deep & Lonely Bryce sits down with veteran competition coonhunter, Dick Brothers, to discuss his impressive career in the sport. For more than 60 years Dick Brothers has been a competitor and breeder of coonhounds. Dick takes us down memory lane talking about his start with coonhounds, winning the 1994 United Kennel Club World Championship, and the stroke that tried to knock him down and how that event motivated him more than ever to get back in the woods. 

Any given night of the week you can find Dick and his hounds deep in the woods of Indiana in hopes of treeing the next raccoon. Dick has been at this sport for several decades and has no plan of slowing down any time soon. Pull up those chaps and turn up the volume. It’s about to get deep.

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with fellow podcaster Brian Krebs about budgeting and saving for hunting equipment purchases. Brian and Dan talks about the "buy once, cry once" purchasing method where you are more than likely to spend a larger sum of money upfront in order to gain a product that lasts a long time. Then, once you have all of the equipment you need, essentially there is no cost to hunting outside of tags and licenses. Unless you are a true gear junkie who buy hunting gear every season no matter what.

Brian talks about how he pulls money directly out of every paycheck in to a specific account he sets aside for hunting gear. This allows him to know exactly how much money he has to play with every year. The guys also talk about how and where to look for deals and discounts. Fun episode you will be sure to enjoy!

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Shannon Waters from Gastro Gnome. The two kick things off catching up on the Western Hunt Expo and the recent BHA Rendezvous. Shannon talks about how the product offerings have changed since their last episode and the process that goes into creating a new meal. The two talk about Gasto Gnome's most recent offering and that is instant coffee that is unlike anything else on the market. Shannon also discusses her love for what she's doing and how she didn't have a backup plan when she started the business two and half years ago. If you haven't already, be sure and pick up one of the many different meals GN has to offer for your next backcountry adventure.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we dial-in with Dan Johnson from Sportsmen’s Empire. We kick things off by testing the tea bag coffee from Wildland Coffee and get into a chat about the various podcast styles and why we settled on the format that we did for this show. We’ve been friends with Dan for a while now; we like what he is doing and he likes what we are doing, so we decided to join forces–see what that’s going to look like moving forward. Is there another GoWild podcast in the works?

Dan questions what it really means to be an “expert” at something. He asks Brayden about his journey into becoming a fly angler and Brayden mentions his easiest and hardest parts of transitioning from bass fishing to fly fishing. Dan also talks about the challenge of having interviewed over 1,000 podcast guests and shares his experience from the recent Iowa Deer Classic tradeshow and what makes it one of the best. He recounts his glory days as a whitetail antler shed hunter and drops a bombshell bone-finding tip. He also gives us his no-fail, dummy-proof longbeard-flopping guide to killing turkeys.

Brayden set up his new rod and reel and is gearing up for a fly fishing trip with several GoWild members. He started with the Orvis Encounter rod/reel combo but is now scaling up to a DIY setup. Jacob paid off some of his marital debt to be able to join them on the trip! He also mentions his favorite flies to use this time of year.

Brad celebrated his daughter’s birthday and spent the weekend elbow deep in unicorns and rainbows. Dan mentioned how he got his young daughter a cell phone–and why he instantly regretted it! We’ve got several parents on the show today and get into the strangest, craziest, and wildest things our kids are saying and doing. Aside from these normal antics, what can we do as parents to help them with survival skills and other important life lessons?
