          • Mid-Atlantic Outdoorsmen - Turkey Hunting Tactics with Adam Weaver

            In today's episode I have my good buddy Adam Weaver on. Adam is one of the best turkey hunters I know. I've been turkey hunting with Adam for a little over 4 years and he has taught me a ton about turkey behavior, calling and turkey hunting in general. Today Adam and I discussed a multitude of things. We talk a lot about pre-season scouting and what that looks like for him. We discuss locating gobblers, "figuring out what they're doing" in the week leading up to the season, habitat types and types of sign to look for and much more. The main focus of today's episode is a brief overview on tactics. We talk about once you locate that gobbler on opening day, what you actually have to do to close the deal. Adam talks about calling conservatively and utilizing woodsmanship to attain success rather than hammering on a box call or mouth call.. and what that looks like for him. Overall an awesome episode about turkey hunting, and I hope you all take something away from this. Thanks for listening!

          • Pennsylvania Woodsman - Tips & Tricks for Switchgrass and Annual Screen Establishment

            On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is back in his element consulting on crops. This week's crop is a hot topic in the wildlife habitat and management world - switchgrass. Switchgrass use has grown in popularity for habitat improvement as well as food plot screening. While it's extremely effective when established, it's slightly more difficult to get started when compared to your fast growing annual food plots. Mitch breaks down a few details and experiences he has had that hopefully you can implement into your switchgrass planting.

            In addition to switchgrass, the use of annual screening such as egyptian wheat has increased. While it's simpler to establish than switchgrass, there are a few things to consider when planting to ensure maximum potential. In both crops, Mitch breaks down weed management, seed bed preparation, and timing of planting. You'll hear information about herbicides that can be effective while aiding in your establishment, as well as the timing when they should be applied. Start planning your successful plantings now - shooting from the hip this spring may result in frustration!
