Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are kicking things off in a different style. While we are cruising through summer, we still have a ways off before the fall. Work, honey-do list, and summer time activities are still the bulk focus of our time. Therefore, if success in fall is to happen, it needs to be done by maximizing the little time we have to prepare and staying focused. Mitch and the guest will set a timer for 30 minutes and dive into a topic. When the timer runs out, it's back to the real world. Take the same logic with your summer preparation and be deliberate!

This week's guest is Dan Johnson, host of the Nine Finger Chronicles and leader of Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network. Just because Dan works "in the industry," does not mean he is blessed with unlimited time to prepare each fall and kill tons of game. He has a family and a business that requires his undivided attention all year. Therefore, in order to stay sane in the hunting world, he has to be specific when setting goals and expectations. This means being realistic and achievable, and yet also finding satisfaction. Around this framework, we will discuss specifics of preparation for hunting at home and out-of-state trips with what little free time he has available.

Both Dan and Adam express their preference for waiting and hunting in draw units to ensure a more enjoyable and successful hunting experience. The conversation discusses the need to balance the quantity and quality of hunting experiences in Colorado.

Every year a new batch of broadheads hit the market and for whatever reason, it excites us as we imagine how much more efficient and effective a new broadhead could be when compared to our current broadhead set up. Expandable or mechanical broadheads are especially interesting as there are new ways in which these heads deploy a variety of blades. In today's episode, Jacob shares his thoughts on his recent evaluation of 6 different expandable broadheads: Sevr 2.0, Sevr 1.75, Mega Meat, Dead Meat, Grim Reaper Whitetail Special, and Rage Hypodermic NC + P.

Effectively E-Scouting is a hill (pun intended) that for some, seems nearly impossible to climb. But like everything outdoors, it can be as complicated or as simple as you want to make it, and having someone who really knows what they're doing to help break things down for you can make a world of difference. That's why this week, we're joined by the map master himself, Jared Larsen of onX Hunt!

In this week's episode the guys cover a wide range of topics from crossing paths with wardens, getting into waterfowl hunting, not being afraid to go for a swim every once in a while, tricks to utilizing water access safely, developing a scouting process, the importance of utilizing onX features deliberately, and even some ethical dilemmas of technology in the outdoor space. All that and more in this week's episode!

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast John is joined by Brian Halbleid of the Migration Waterfowl Podcast. A Pennsylvania native, Brian grew up deer hunting like most young boys and girls in the Keystone state. It wasn't until a little later in life that he was introduced to duck hunting and he hasn't looked back since. John and Brian talk about some of the differences in hunting northern vs southern ducks, and how the timing of when things get good may differ. They touch on a little bit of everything, including decoy spread layout, when to use or not use spinning wing decoys, and the advancement of motion decoys over the years. 

Towards the end of the episode, John couldn't help but talk about deer a little bit. Brian discusses how the human population has changed hunting in his area in recent years, but that it's not all bad change. He also talks about what a difference antler point restrictions have made on the trophy quality in the state, and how education has led to more hunters passing younger bucks.
