Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Professor of Biology from Chapman University, Walter Piper. Walter has spent the last 30 years studying Loons in the upper regions of the midwest, specifically Wisconsin and most recently Minnesota. The loon population continues to decline in these areas and Walter and his team are researching the cause and how to potentially right the ship going forward. Recently, Walter and his team lost some funding for the research being done in Minnesota and need some help in order to fully staff their efforts and attack this research with the proper amount of people. Head over to loonproject.org to learn more about what Walter and his team are doing as well and to donate to their research efforts.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Podcast, Dan and Brian have Ryan Stieg on to talk about getting more tags each season.

Ryan grew up in the flat land like both Dan and Brian, but like the hosts, caught the western bug during college and started piecing together how to get out west as much as possible. Ryan has had incredible success with North Dakota’s second chance draw to get rifle Whitetail Buck tags in underrated units while building points and using his bow tag to chase Mule Deer each fall in the badlands. Ryan has taken this same strategy to Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado to show it is possible to have success on Elk, Mule Deer, and Antelope with easier-to-draw tags if you’re willing to put in the work.

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, the gang is back together once again and things are getting back to normal after a busy trade show season. How did our second weekend at GAOS go? We had a great time visiting with customers and partners like Beau Martonik, the boys at O2 Podcast, and the Houndsmen XP crew. Did Arica visit with Shim or not? She did meet Wayne LaPierre, CEO and Executive VP of the NRA. Dan geeks out on his new AR build after going around the show.

The team is busy cleaning up the shop and shifting gears into spring activities. Did someone steal the catalytic converter off of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?? Arica steals the show to dispel a major myth about the use of cellular trail cameras. We talk a little more about many of the misconceptions about cellular data and cell cams and share some insights on how trappers are using trail cams.

[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.

The show launches every Monday morning. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Andrew and Paul are hosts of the Ohio Outdoors Podcast, and Paul being the host of How to Hunt Turkeys, both airing on Sportsmens Empire.  Andrew is an accomplished bowhunter who loves nothing better than chasing whitetails.  Paul, is a turkey guy through and through, and with the help from Andrew, got back into chasing deer.  Both guys were successful this year in the deer woods.  Andrew went through many ups and downs, close encounters and near misses that made for an epic tale of getting his Thanksgiving buck.  For his celebration meal, Andrew went beyond just utilizing, and donated that buck to Farmers & Hunters feeding the Hungry.  Paul was able to harvest 3 deer in 18 minutes giving him a load of venison right now.  His go to was backstrap done up in the smoker, paired with a hand chopped chimichurri.  Now to the Emperor's Table, Paul goes for the fences with a Citrus Brined Smoked Wild Turkey,  and Andrew submits another fried walleye submission, using his wife’s breading mix and Paul’s tartar sauce.

As of two years ago Prime Archery has a look to their bows that set them apart from everyone else. Their quad-cam design was one of the big reasons their bows became popular with the serious bowhunters. That's why it was such a big surprise to the entire archery industry when they came out with a two cam system. On this episode, Dan talks with Chief Engineer, Nate Grace, about what that transition looked like and how it led to their new CORE Cam System on the new REVEX series lineup.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan and new co-host Brian Krebs talk to Stephen Walker a shed hunter from Colorado about what it takes to consistently find elk and mule deer sheds.

Stephen was born and raised in Louisiana but moved to Southern Colorado where he found a serious passion for finding dropped antlers. Stephen along with his friends and family consistently find hundreds of sheds a year across Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Dan, Brian and Stephen discuss what to look for in shed hunting land as well as techniques and strategies for going after big antlers.
