  • Mid-Atlantic Outdoorsmen - Georgia Public Land Opening Day Turkey Success

    In this episode I am recording in the beautiful mountains of Georgia on the evening of opening day.  Today's show features my good buddy Tyler Cook, who I met last year hunting public land down here. This episode is a recap of our successful hunt from opening morning. We located a gobbler on the limb at first light, and shortly after he flew down he went quiet for hours. We ended up keeping tabs on the bird and caught back up with him at about 9:30 am... by 10:30 he was flopping, and we were celebrating. We do a deep dive in this episode of the strategies we implemented to ultimately make the harvest, including calling tactics, set up, positioning and more. Thanks for listening!

        • Pennsylvania Woodsman - Oklahoma Hunting Trip with Podcast Network Team

          This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman is quite a bit different than normal.  Mitch had the opportunity to join Nick Otto (Huntavore podcast), Nate Rozeveld (Michigan Wild podcast), Andrew Muntz and John Hudspeth in Oklahoma at the end of March for a three day hog hunting experience.  John was gracious enough to invite some of us down for what has turned into an annual event to shoot wild pigs at his ranch.  This was a unique experience and one for the memories!


          During this hunt recap episode, the guys sit down after an action packed weekend with lots of sleep deprivation.  We discuss our travels, the hunting, equipment malfunctions, meat handling and more.  The best part of the entire trip is finally being able to put a face to a name with fellow podcasters and online friends.  One thing that will always stay true - friends are best made at hunting camp.  What a privilege this trip was, and we hope you enjoy the stories!

          • Western Rookie - Changes to Colorado’s Draw System

            Major changes are coming to Colorado’s big game draw—are you prepared to adapt your hunting strategy? In this episode of the Western Rookie Podcast, Brian Krebs breaks down the significant updates recently announced by Colorado Parks and Wildlife set to take effect in 2028, dramatically impacting how hunters apply for tags in the state.


            Brian covers the shift from Colorado’s traditional preference point system to a new 50/50 split between preference and bonus points, explaining exactly what this means for high- and low-point holders alike. You'll learn why planning ahead is crucial, how the new allocation affects residents and non-residents, and why the elimination of certain point codes could change your application strategy significantly.


            Dive deeper into the specifics of changes for highly coveted species, including deer, elk, bear, antelope, turkey, moose, sheep, and goat tags, and understand how CPW’s evolving management approach might affect your odds in the future. Brian also gives practical advice on managing your points effectively between now and 2028, discusses the implications of new preference point fees, and outlines the new auto-reissue rules for returned or leftover licenses.

            Whether you're sitting on a stack of preference points or just getting started, this episode provides critical insights to help you navigate Colorado's evolving draw landscape. Listen in, refine your game plan, and stay ahead of the curve!
