Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

The rollercoaster of life keeps rolling right along for Paul and Andrew. This week Paul actually spent the time in the woods looking for bambi, while Andrew continues to ride the struggle bus of life. Paul did not have any luck but was able to take advantage of an OHLAP property to have some good encounters with our white tailed friends.

This weeks show covers hunting white tail deer with Gregg Farrell of First Lite. Gregg has been with First Lite for a long time and really helped develop and bring to market a lot of the gear we use day in and day out in the white tail woods.

Good luck as you get out in the woods, and enjoy the upcoming few weeks, because the most wonderful time of the year is upon us!

Does your camo pattern REALLY matter? The old timers were killing deer in blue jeans. Tons of deer have fallen to the cheapest thing on the shelf at Wally World or hand-me-down faded out Mossy Oak. Guys in the north rock red and black plaid against the snow white backdrop. So it stands to reason that camo is overrated, right? Right?!

While camo doesn't kill deer and isn't essential for being a successful hunter, quality camo CAN keep you concealed and comfortable, meaning more hours in the field. But what all goes into high quality camo? In this episode of The Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Ev Tarrell and Jamie Dykman of Code of Silence about the science behind their camo. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan sits down with Nick Queen to recap the final few days of their Wisconsin archery hunt and the events since.

Dan and Nick hunted together for several days on a public island in Dan’s home state of Wisconsin. The two found amazing deer sign and experienced extreme rutting activity for an early October hunt. After several encounters with mature bucks, the pair decided it was time to go all in as they pursued a public land giant. This episode relives the final days on the island and the rollercoaster of a journey that they have experienced since.

Aaaahhhh, sweet November is upon us! The rut will soon cure our every woe, and whitetail bucks will throw caution to the wind and run circles around our stands just waiting for us to take a shot at them… right? While the rut can be the best of the year to arrow a mature buck, this is no time to take it easy. In fact, increased buck movement should motivate whitetail hunters to work even harder to make sure they’re in the right place at the right time.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Tony Peterson about how Tony approaches hunting the rut. For Tony, scouting is critical as he wants to put himself in a high odds spot that gives him the confidence that a buck he’s after will swing through. The guys discuss what kinds of things Tony focuses on during the rut, how much things like buck sign and hunting pressure play into his strategy, and why it’s crucial to keep moving if you’re not on the action. Enjoy!

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking silencers and their development throughout the years. Allen dives right into how the original silencer was created and where the inspiration for them came from. He goes into just exactly how a silencer makes a firearm quieter and the science behind it. Jacob brings up the applications of hunting with a silencer. From whitetail or even hog hunting, a silencer opens up a ton of different options for you to hunt, with an added bonus – it’s way better on your ears in the long run. Check out this episode sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear all about how silencers have changed the way a large majority of people hunt today.

We talk about the materials that a suppressor is made from now compared to originally. From stainless steel, which could’ve probably been used as a boat anchor, to now being made mostly with titanium or other lightweight materials, the weight on the end of your rifle has dropped dramatically with a silencer attached. We go over how they are manufactured including some that are even 3D printed today. Many of us are looking forward to seeing if manufacturers start making firearms with silencers built in versus having to buy a separate one to put on afterwards. With many other countries actually requiring silencers at ranges, we’re all very interested to see if the U.S. will ever follow suit.

Closing out, we talk maintenance and lifespan for suppressors. Allen goes over how many people are led wrong when it comes to the lifespan side of that. Many of them can last long enough for you to pass down to your children, if taken care of and cleaned correctly. Speaking of cleaning, Allen goes in depth on how he cleans his personally, but highly recommends you follow your manufacturers recommendation for cleaning. He also goes in depth on what silencers you can purchase currently on GunBroker.com, with thousands of listings you should be able to find whatever it is you’re looking for!

Returning guest Shane Loney joins Michigan WIld to recap the last 7 days of bowhunting with Nate. Shane does give a quick recap of his season so far which consisted of passing a couple 3.5 year old deer along with some tough hunts. Shane is targeting 3 separate bucks, but this last week he struggled getting on them. He shares a few observations with why he has struggled and the direction he plans on going for the upcoming week. Shane did have 2 successful doe kills already this fall and broke down each hunt. Nate then shares how the week started in a similar fashion for him and how he quickly adjusted. That adjustment paid off when he ended up killing a buck October 22, 2023. 

Look out for next week's episode on Michigan Wild for a full breakdown of Nate's hunt and how he killed a buck he has hunted since 2019.

This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Mitch is joined by friends and hunting partners Mark Lesher, Mike Lesher, and Jason Miller. The four have a round table BS session revolving around their New Jersey hunting trip that took place Oct 9-14. The area was new to everyone so we first discussed the scouting trips from late summer into fall. The terrain and habitat type was much different than other areas the group has bear hunted in the past, so it was a unique learning experience. From here we dove into the events of the week of hunting, totalling over 30 bear sightings, two bears and one buck killed. A lot was learned on this trip - and we can't wait for next year!
