Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to talk with Matt Winstead, Micah's brother, and his two sons Brennon (12) & Ryker (10) about an awesome story of a buck that one of the boys killed during Missouri's youth season. Without telling the whole story, both of these young men had a crack at this awesome buck in back to back seasons, which makes it that much more memorable for them and their dad. The boys did great on their first podcast and congratulations to them and their dad on yet another memory made in the deer woods. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Brian Krebs and Whitney Trammell discuss the different approaches to hunting and the importance of starting with more approachable hunts. They emphasize the value of learning foundational skills and building experience gradually. They also touch on the misconception that hunting success is guaranteed and the impact it can have on new hunters. The conversation highlights the importance of patience, being adaptable, and understanding that hunting is not always about harvesting a trophy animal. Whitney shares her experience of hunting solo and the mental challenges that come with it. She initially felt scared and hesitant, but pushed through her fears and gained confidence. She emphasizes the importance of mindset and doing hard things to build resilience. 

Brian also discusses his own experience with solo hunting and the difficulties of staying motivated and engaged without the presence of others. They both acknowledge that solo hunting can be mentally tough, but it also provides an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. In this conversation, Whitney and Brian discuss the importance of choosing hunting partners wisely and finding people who are on the same page. They also talk about the different strategies and approaches to hunting, including backpacking deep into the backcountry versus hunting closer to the roads. Whitney shares her experience with her podcast, Wild Strength, where she combines her passion for strength and conditioning with hunting and the outdoors. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the concept of 'wild strength' and the mental resiliency required to pursue challenging endeavors.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, host Nate Rozeveld welcomes Jake Bollinger, a passionate hunter and habitat manager. They discuss the excitement surrounding the upcoming gun season, family traditions related to hunting, and the importance of processing deer personally. The conversation shifts to hunting access, land management strategies, and the significance of creating wildlife-friendly habitats. They also explore deer movement patterns, the use of technology in habitat management, and the value of community knowledge sharing in hunting. The episode continues with a captivating story about Jake's buck from the current season, which was shot in late October after making an aggressive move because the farmer drove by on a UTV.

Jake knew about this buck and was able to put the puzzle pieces together by finding scrapes and understanding how deer like to bed on his property. After making the shot the recovery was unique and Jake was in uncharted territory after not hitting the buck ideal. He discussed the challenge of tracking and recovering his deer, particularly after a gut shot, and how waiting until the following morning was critical to recovering his deer. 

Overall you can sense the passion Jake has for hunting and improving the landscape. He isn't afraid of some sweat equity and is always learning and attempting new strategies. He is very relatable to the majority of hunters who find themselves hunting the family farm or own their small piece of heaven. Leaving behind the property better than he found it is the driving force and he is already looking forward to starting habitat improvements this upcoming year.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is breaking down his controlled deer hunt at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. As soon as John found out he had been selected for the hunt back in June, he immediately began doing his homework and trying to learn as much as he could about the hunt and how it worked. What he found, is that there was not a ton of information out there on what to expect on this particular hunt. As he picked up bits and pieces from other hunters over the months leading up to the hunt, he still had a lot of questions leading up to the weekend of November 8th. After going through the process and coming home empty handed, he made up his mind to provide as much information as possible to future hunters who drew this coveted tag. 

John briefly tells the story of his hunt and what he experienced, but the bulk of this episode is more about the process, the lessons learned, and what he would do differently next time. John lays out all of the rules of the hunt, and also talks about the terrain he encountered, the vegetation, and recommendations on gear to bring. John talks about the challenges of this hunt, and how just because you see lots of deer, does not mean its easy to actually fill a tag. He also shares some thoughts on the quality tag system, and some thoughts on whether or not this hunt may or may not be right for you.
