Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

All serious hunters know, that how you access your hunting location is one of the most important parts of any hunters strategy. If the wind is wrong or you are walking through a bedding area to get to what you think is the perfect tree, you may actually be doing more harm then good.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Joe Jones of North Carolina to discuss his strategy towards hunting a specific buck in an area that is comprised of several small parcels. The guys walk through his access routes, knocking on doors for more access, trail camera information, and figuring out this bucks weekly pattern. Another great episode where we break down a hunting strategy on a huge whitetail buck. Enjoy and share!

October is finally here! Many whitetail hunters have a love-hate relationship with October, especially the first few weeks of the month. With the frenzy of the rut still a few weeks off, if you haven't done your homework, mature buck sightings can be few and far between. And there are few guys out there who put in the work to get on bucks quite like Ryan Glitsky.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh & Pierce talk with Ryan Glitsky about Ryan's process for getting on BIG bucks. Ryan primarily hunts big woods mountain bucks in PA, and he does it at a very high level. This week, Josh and Pierce get to quiz Ryan on his approach on everything from in season scouting to trail cam strategy to when to stay put and when to make a move during the rut. This episode is FULL of good info that just might help you get on deer instead of simply watching squirrels. Enjoy!

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we talk all about you guessed it..hunting season! We open up with Jacob highlighting just exactly where he was when bucks started showing up on his trail cameras..spoiler alert..he wasn’t in the stand! We talk about whether or not cows have an effect on which way the deer come into a spot or if they just don’t care at all. What do you guys think? For Jacob it seems that the does do not seem to mind but the bucks seem to only want to come from that direction when the cows aren’t there. Jacob brainstorms on if he should possibly hang a second setup or move depending on where the cows may be but as we all do during bow season he worries that if he moves they’ll come right underneath the other tree!

Next up Brayden dives into his recent trip taking a youth out for youth weekend. They headed out to a private farm that he’s done some scouting on and climbed in a blind in a primo spot. Setup next to a couple soybean fields but with unfavorable wind they hoped for the best. Listen in to see what kind of luck they had! Brayden loves taking youth out hunting and really believes it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do as an outdoorsman although he does have a few spots that are off limits for the newbies!

Derek talks about not shooting the first buck he sees in Kentucky, with only one buck tag he’d like to draw his season out. However, he has been kept pretty busy lately with waterfowl, bear, and whitetail in other states that may change for this season. He talks about his upcoming bear and deer hunt in Tennessee that he has been scouting for all summer long. He’s going to do a few local hunts first to work all the kinks out before he heads south to hunt.

Closing out the guys talk about the best way to get in and out of the woods. They go over the different ways they pack in and if they wear their saddle in or wait to put it on when they get to the tree. Long hikes coming up for Derek he’s trying to make his walk in as easy as possible. What ways do you guys get into the woods?

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by Keith Hammer of Stratton Seed Company to talk about their wide variety of food plot blends and how to create successful food plots even in dry conditions. One of the things that drew John to Stratton Seed Company years ago, was that most of their seeds are grown and produced locally here in the south around Stuttgart, Arkansas. Their target customers range along the southeastern United States from Oklahoma and Texas across to Georgia and Alabama. The seeds and mixes they produce are designed for the soils and climates of the south, and not the typical midwestern whitetail hunters that so many products cater to. 

Keith and John go through the lengthy product line that Stratton offers, but also dig a little deeper into specific food plot strategy. They talk about when folks in the south should plant as opposed to what most people in the midwest suggest, and Keith gives some tips for people trying to grow food plots in these drier than usual conditions Oklahoma and surrounding states have been experiencing. John also lets Keith talk about a subject that he has essentially no experience with due to his abundance of wild hogs, which is growing corn for deer. Over all, this is a great educational episode that you won't want to miss!
