Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with the master of mock scrape hunting, Troy Pottenger about the history and strategy when using mock scrapes. Troy explains that he started to experiment with mock srapes while in high school when he identified a community scrape on his family ranch. This led to him locating other community scrapes on public land while scouting and shed hunting. Did we mention that Troy spends most of his time hunting in the mountainous terrain of northern Idaho, Montana, and Washington? Listen to Troy as he talks about the learning curve he went through when it comes to the strategy using mock scrapes to locate, identify, and even hold big mature bucks in a specific area. This is one of those episodes that will leave you wanting to give Troy's mock scrape hunting strategy a try. Enjoy and share!

It's an action packed show this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast! John starts things off with a bold prediction for this year's deer season you are going to want to hear. After that, Oklahoma State University Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management Assistant Professor Colter Chitwood joins the show to talk about a few research projects he is involved with around the state of Oklahoma and beyond. The first topic the guys discuss is a research project following pronghorn in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Colter and his team have been collaring and tracking pronghorn to learn more about their home ranges, fawn recruitment, and most importantly, whether or not the population is declining or not. 

After a nice long chat about pronghorn, Colter talks about another similar research project on wild turkeys. It is no secret that numbers appear to be declining across much of the country and especially in the southeastern United States, and Colter sheds some light on a few reasons why a decline may be taking place, and some practical things hunters and conservationists can do to have a positive impact on those populations.

And just because why the heck not, John and Colter finish the episode off with some good old wolf talk. Colter is fortunate enough to work on a grey wolf population study on Prince of Wales Island off the coast of Alaska. John talks a little bit about his experience with wolves in the north west while in college, and the guys talk about how sometimes the biggest obstacle in managing a species is just how cute they are.

 In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Derek talks all about his recent TN trip public hunting for black bears. He packed on the miles scouting, and eventually found the ideal spot for a bear! Did you know that bears eat yellow jackets? All signs point to yes! Miles on the boots and a little electronic help from the NextDoor app and he had all the signs on where to go!

Do whitetails hate bears? Derek speaks on his trip and how he saw deer signs everywhere he saw signs of bears. His hypothesis is that there’s so few bears compared to deer that they don’t really bother each other. Would you think the bear population would deter whitetail from certain places?

We talk about public hunting and who gets the worm when hunting public land. If you put in the miles your chances of success definitely seem to grow exponentially. Make sure you check OnX, nothing worse than putting the miles in only to realize there’s private land close to where you hiked into!

 [UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers. [UNCENSORED] is a behind the scenes look at our adventures, failures, wins, embarrassing moments at trade shows, hilarious tales from the warehouse, and a good rant or three about the most recent tyranny from the Dark Lord of the Sith himself.

October is fast approaching and on this episode of Michigan Wild Nate and Drew Hasler talk about the upcoming season. This is an introduction podcast for Drew to understand his tactics and passion for bowhunting whitetails in Michigan.

They both share a lease in Illinois and are excited for the upcoming fall. Having similar mindsets with how they bowhunt out of state and in their home state of Michigan makes for great conversation.

Drew also has had great success targeting bucks in early October in Michigan. He breaks down the mindset with striking early and setting up his property for that success. That success stemmed from a mindset change and not being afraid of some sweat equity thru habitat improvements.

Bowhunting at a high level is something Drew has done for multiple years and look forward to more episodes with him on Michigan Wild.
