Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with Steve Sherk Jr., a master of hunting big whitetails in the vast woods of Pennsylvania. Steve opens up about how his approach to hunting has evolved over the years, now balancing the demands of family and his guiding service with his passion for pursuing deer. He highlights his strategic shift toward gun season, with limited time set aside for bow hunting. Steve delves into the significance of trail cam data for choosing prime hunting spots and shares his observations on how deer behavior and bedding areas change as the season progresses, encouraging hunters to adapt their strategies accordingly.

Steve also shares invaluable tips on handling hunting pressure, noting the importance of flanking pressure to locate less disturbed areas. His early spring scouting methods—focused on understanding deer movement and bedding before the landscape thickens—provide key insights into successful hunting strategies. Steve talks about his favorite tactic of hunting from a distance during gun season and explains what he does to mark key beds. He wraps up by discussing the impact of acorn drops, his preference for hunting red oaks over white oaks, and his strategic plan for an upcoming six-day hunting window in late October, emphasizing travel corridors and hot scrapes as prime opportunities for success.

A long awaited and much anticipated episode this week as John prepares to head north to Kansas to chase open plains whitetails with his muzzleloaders. John starts the episode off by talking about more local things like the deer he is seeing on the ranch and an exciting new property he picked up in Texas. After running cameras for several weeks, the outlook is not looking great so far, and if he had to choose a spot to hunt tomorrow, he would probably find himself hunting public ground.

After the local stuff, John goes outbound and talks about his upcoming trip to Kansas, which if you are listening to this episode when it comes out, he is already there. John discusses his camp set up, his scouting, and what he expects to encounter. John did not have a chance to make a scouting trip over the summer, so he is going in completely blind. Though he did not get to put boots on the ground, he has spent countless hours e-scouting ever since he put in for the tag back in April. He feels confident that with a little gravel under the tire and some dirt under his boots, he can find a spot to take down a big bodied Kansas buck.
