Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are joined by Brad Hruska from Driven Purpose Outdoors. Brad is a hard working school teacher with a desire to hunt like the rest of us. Brad is particularly fond of pursuing big whitetails in PA, OH, and anywhere else he can grab a tag. He is also kind enough to take us with him by filming and sharing his hunts. But his reason for sharing his hunts are slightly different than you may be used to.

Filming your hunts is work, and hard work like this can be a way to provide income. With something as ego driven as hunting, it can also be a way of promotion and status in the hunting media. Brad's focus is promoting the glory of his hunts to God. Brad's faith in Jesus Christ has led him to using hunting and filming as a ministry tool. Brad and Mitch discuss the journey of this ministry, and the battles we face as hunters who are also husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. Being relationship driven amidst a self seeking interest like bowhunting is difficult, but through the grace of the Lord, Brad has been able to experience and share some cool stuff! What better way to celebrate this time of year? Merry Christmas!

No matter what kind of hunter you are, you probably have some pretty strong opinions on a few select topics. Everyone has an opinion on who should be allowed to use what and when, what crosses ethical lines, and what constitutes sportsmanlike conduct. In this episode, the guys dive in to a few of the more controversial topics. 

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh and Pierce have a great discussion about crossbows, cell cams, and where we draw the line. The guys discuss their opinions, where they think the conversation needs to start, and ask the question, Who really gets to decide, anyway? It's a great conversation you're sure to enjoy!

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Rocky Burrus (SA Farm Management Service) discuss next level habitat and hunting techniques that allow you to kill the biggest bucks in your area. Rocky discusses off season work and opportunities he creates to improve properties and gain access to new land.

Rocky provides secrets and intimate details on what separates the properties he improves for habitat. Rocky explains how to best work with neighbors and what information he provides to ensure neighbors are considering his technical approach to managing for larger bucks. Rocky and Jon discuss the examples of why and when to pass deer and how the mindset to get to the next age class requires building a property and the deer quality.

Rocky details hunting less and sometimes the best advice is to not hunt your property for several years to build deer interest. Jon explains the concept of building a bank account for deer to improve the property from a long-term standpoint. Rocky details the strategy to harvest a single deer with multiple years of intel and why he doesn’t rely on apps to help support his decision to hunt an individual deer. Rocky and Jon explain client mistakes and be more aware of your decision making process to improve your property to ensure it benefits your deer.

This week on Michigan Wild Nate and Rod Rozeveld sit down and recap their Iowa hunt, along with recapping Rod's last 42 years of deer hunting in Michigan. Rod is Nate's father and he started hunting in Michigan in the early 80's. He discusses how it was a right of passage when he finally was able to go hunting, and how he felt a part of something bigger. 

Fast forward to present day Rod and Nate are able to reflect on the major differences in Michigan hunting. They both have first hand experience with hunting a more balanced deer herd along with seeing a higher class of bucks to chase each fall in the mitten. Something they both feel is important in helping sustain quality hunting opportunities for many generations.

Nick Otto of the Huntavore podcast joins John this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Nick made the long trip from Michigan to Oklahoma last spring to help John with his wild hog problem and try to debunk a few of the myths around cooking wild hog. After the hunt, Nick butchered the hogs into larger primal cuts to take back home and work his magic. It wasn't long before he was sending John photos of beautiful pork that would rival anything you can buy in a grocery store.

Thick cut pork chops, bacon, cured hams, and whole smoked pigs just to name a few of the cuts he tried, and all of them turned out great. Nick also kept track of the size and sex of the hog just to make sure there wasn't any added bias in the results. If you have ever been interested in doing something with all those wild hogs other than throwing them in the ditch, you really need to check out this episode!

Today’s show opens up with Brad talking about finding all your Christmas needs for the gun enthusiast in your life over at GunBroker.com! We talk about firearms and hunting related items we’ve received for Christmas throughout the years and Brad tells us a story about a firearm related Christmas tradition. Brad then dives into his recent hunting trip out to his urban hunting spot. He went out for a morning hunt that didn’t pan out besides seeing a doe so he decided to move his stand to a different spot on the property. Make sure to listen to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear all about our weekend hunting!

Next up Dan tells us about his quota hunt at Taylorsville Lake. He saw a few does early but didn’t see a deer that he wanted to take while he was there. He ran into another public hunter who he had an interesting interaction with that had laid out some of the same places as him that he wanted to hunt, so they compared scouting notes and both found a good place to hunt! He bounced around a few spots but unfortunately kept running into non-hunters on this public property that ruined a few really nice potential spots.

Closing out Jacob tells us a quick story about finding a nice whitetail buck dead at a city park in Louisville while he was trail running. All the way back on the trail he spots a large group of vultures so naturally he goes to investigate what they’re back in there for. He then stumbles across a very nice whitetail buck that had been dead for a few days. It was a really nice mature 8-point buck that anyone would’ve been happy to take!

On this week's Deer Season Special Bonus episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch chats with Isaac Fisher from Chasin Dreams Outdoorz YouTube channel. In 2022, Isaac harvested a truly magnificent buck on public land and captured the story on film. We breakdown this hunt from the start, when Isaac first laid eyes on the deer in a private ag field in summer of 2021. Many scouting trips were made for this deer, as the drive required him traveling across the state. We discuss the scouting, cameras, and thought process that led to Isaac closing the chapter one November morning. It's the kind of story that any deer hunter can dream about!
