Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

This week on the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with the National Deer Association's Chief Conservation Officer, Kip Adams, about trends reported in the 2023 Deer Report. Each year, the National Deer Association produces the Deer Report, covering the latest in deer harvest reports, management trends, and challenges face by deer and deer managers. The guys discuss some of the surprising trends from the report, some challenges facing whitetails, and how we can all become better deer managers and hunters.

Over the last couple of years, new opportunities to chase velvet bucks have opened up for southern hunters. One of the earliest is found in the great state of Tennessee. Each year, hunters have the chance to hunt velvet bucks in August on private lands with archery tackle or on some select public lands within Tennessee's CWD unit. While the conditions are anything but pleasant, unpressured deer with a more layed-back August temperament make the hunt worth while. 

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh talks with Taylor Philpot and Justin Grogan of Revive Outdoors about their TN velvet hunt success. Both guys were able to fill their tags with velvet bucks, but that's where the similarities in their stories end. For this episode, Taylor shares the story of how his three year public land velvet pursuit came to an end with a beautiful Tennessee bucks. 

If you missed part one of this conversation, listen to last week's episode where the guys discussed the mission of Revive Outdoors and the story of Justin's buck.

On this Episode of Huntavore, September is here and the final push to season opener for whitetails is here upon us. Nick walks through his archery equipment and how he checks the condition of very vital gear. Later he breaks down the contents of a recovery bag and his own kill kit for making life easier and cleaner when bringing home the harvest. Lots of good tasks to add to your to do list on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick starts out with a run through of his archery setup; saddle, sticks, platform, bow, & arrow. Getting the stand pieces organized, and essential parts checked for damage or wear is a priority at the moment. Only real change this year is switching to a framed pack. He purchased the F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches. While it’s not been tested in the whitetail woods, the pack served Nick very well chasing elk. Light and study, modular and expandable, Nick hopes for more stability than his frameless pack.

Kill bags can range from full kits in the deep wilderness, to a sealable freezer bag with a few essentials. Preparing for success can make the recovery process a whole heck of a lot easier.

My whitetail kill kit:

All fits in Quart sealable freezer bag; 3’ x 3’ folded plastic sheet or contractors bag, Gallon sealable freezer bag, Gloves, 2 blue shop towel sheets, A folding replaceable blade knife, Length of paracord.

Tossed in the pack pocket: Fixed blade, bull nosed gut hook knife,Hoof shackles/ drag rope

Elk or deep woods add ons:

Bigger ground cover, Honing stone/steel or sharpener, Another knife, Bone saw, Game bags, A bit more length of paracord

Items to consider:

Butt out II, Roll of TP, Game Cart/electric bike saddle bags, Meat hauler pack

The guys are at it again this week with a sit down with Mike of Drone Deer Recovery. Mike has taken his knowledge and passion for drones and technology to the next level to aide hunters in finding dead and wounded deer. This conversation is a great one, and another tool that we as hunters in Ohio can have in our tool belts to help locate a deer after the hunt if need be. Mike’s company is growing and new operators are all over the state ready to help you if in need.

The guys are busy with life, so not much to report from their time in the woods this week. Andrew did do some scouting of a new property, and having a little success on the cameras. Paul has been under the weather for a couple days so not much happening with him.

Around the state, the hunting seasons continue to open. September 9th opens up the first days of archery hunting in the DSA! Be on the look out for a new invasive insect problem, the zigzag elm saw fly. Turkey research happening in the state, as well as Hocking Hills ranked #1 top tourists spots in Ohio!

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Scott Bakken from Dialed Archery about his journey into the outdoor industry.

Dialed Archery all started with a pipe dream to create a brand people could get behind, and a company that brought innovative products to a space that was in dire need of it. Once those dreams were realized, the team assembled, and dove in head first. Dan and Scott work through the history of Dialed as a company and the process in which became the die-hard hunter that he is today.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 189 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Alex and Jeff of Vantage Point Archery. Jeff is one of the owners and Alex is the marketing manager for VPA. Nothing like getting a chance to speak with individuals that truly care so much about archery and bowhunting. During this conversation you will hear the passion and drive that Jeff has when it comes to both of these communities. You will also get to hear Alex speak about the new Omega broadhead and how she likes to keep things simple when it comes to her setup. We get into various topics in this conversation, from the what and why of their products, setups, the archery/hunting community, working with Joel Turner and more.

We begin this episode by hearing Jeff and Alex share who VPA is and how they are a family run business out of Indiana. You get to hear Jeff share some of his thoughts about his hunting setup and how he ultimately believes you just need to shoot what YOU feel is the best for you and enjoy shooting confidently! They both share some specifics about some of the heads they offer and the current affairs in bowhunting. Both also share the experience they had with Joel Turner recently and how that has helped them and we wrap the conversation up with what this upcoming year looks like for both individuals as well as VPA. So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Alex and Jeff and make sure to follow along with what VPA is doing over at VPARCHERY.COM! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles deer hunting podcast, Dan catches up with Jeremy Dinsmore of the Antler Up podcast to discuss the results of his recent out of state scouting mission. The guys kick off the episode the only way then know how, by an in-depth conversation about college football and the realignment of conferences. Then Dan asks Jeremy a couple really dumb questions about his last name and how it reminds him of beef stew. Finally, the guys get in to the meat and potatoes of the episode and talk about Jeremy's recent scouting trip to Ohio looking for places to hunt on public property. Jeremy explains what he found, when he plans on going back to hunt, what he thinks his access routes will be, and how wind and thermals will impact all of his hunting decisions. This is an excellent episode where two serious hunters break down a piece of property and talk about the strategy Jeremy plans to use on this upcoming hunt.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we are taking a slightly different course. With deer season right around the corner, we've been focused on preparation. From strategies to harvest your target, to meat preparation, we've got you covered for this fall. But everything revolves around filling an antlered deer tag these days. What about antlerless deer? Are enough being harvested in your area?

This week's guest is Dustin Kieffer from Mark M Kieffer and Son. Dustin is a third generation grain farmer in central Pennsylvania, farming around 3200 acres. After a quick back story on the operation, we dive into a controversial topic - too many deer. This episode does not have any motive or suggestion to the problem. It's simply to provide you the listener, a different perspective in the community. We discuss the changes in deer pressure over the previous decades, and how this operation is adjusting it's farming practices to the ever growing deer population in this region of the state. We as deer hunters are not the only ones who appreciate deer. Some people depend on us harvesting them for their income!
