Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

If you've listened to the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast this year, the theme of the recently concluded whitetail season has been along the lines of: "It's just been tough", or "We just weren't seeing much of a rut this year". That seems to be the case country wide. This week we're joined by two fan favorites, veteran Alabama deer killers Jamie McCay and Michael Perry. It's easy to make excuses for a bad season, but what separates the killers from the crowd is the willingness to adjust their strategy. If you know Michael or have heard his tactics, he puts a lot into hunting creek crossings. You'd likely know Jamie McCay for his talks on hunting bluff gaps. So what do these guys do when those tactics aren't working? 

You'll hear this and more in this week's episode!

Listen to any deer hunting podcast this time of year, including this one, and you're sure to hear lots of advice on post season scouting, covering a lot of ground, and continuing the grind you only thought ended the with the close of deer season. But for many of us, time is limited. Sure, we KNOW we should get out, but after a season of hunting hard, it's time to get back to work, back to being a dad, back to being a husband. In reality, bowhunting is a pretty selfish thing that takes us away from many of our responsibilities for an extended period of time. When the season closes, for many, it's time to catch up on all the things we've been neglecting. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't TRY to get some winter whitetail chores knocked off the list. 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Dan Johnson of the Nine Finger Chronicles and Hunting Gear Podcasts about what whitetail chores Dan is looking to complete this time of year. The guys talk about post-season scouting, trail cam strategy, gear, and planning for next years hunts. If you're a busy guy that wishes he could do more in the timber this time of year, this episode is for you!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Terry Kilmer about his success hunting whitetail in his home state of Wisconsin as well as on the road.

Terry Kilmer is a 22 year old from Northwestern Wisconsin. For Terry, hunting has always been a big part of his life. He was blessed to have a dad who took him hunting and taught him much of what he knows about the outdoors. One of Terry’s main goals is to be able to excite and inspire the younger generation about hunting the way so many in the hunting community did for him. Terry hopes that he can teach and share hunting through social platforms and content creation. Dan and Terry talk all about hunting stories and adventures from the past few years.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 160 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by our good friend AJ Iaquinta from Knights of the Apex! It is always a great conversation when we get a chance to catch up with AJ and just chat about life! This episode is filled with various topics that include dad life, influencers, outfitters and getting the chance to meet Jocko.

AJ has been running Knights of the Apex over the last 3+ years where he does a phenomenal job with creating content surrounding gear! We do get into his thoughts on this year's bows and how they stack up. We also hear how he put in more time and effort in hunting his current state of Florida and what challenges he faced. Early in the hunting season, AJ made the trip to hunt Illinois with some awesome hunters like Beau Martonik and Ryan Haines. This chat led us to talking about his experience hunting at various outfitters and hit takeaways from those experiences.  

Like I mentioned earlier, it is always a great time talking with AJ and we look forward to the conversations! I am looking forward to seeing what AJ has in store for Knights of the Apex this year because each year he keeps on killing it and I have a ton of respect for him! Enjoy this fun episode!  

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

Fellow outdoor podcaster and whitetail hunting nut, Beau Martonik joins Dan this week for a fun B.S. Session. Like Dan, Beau has been podcasting for several year and has been able to talk with some of the best deer hunters from across the entire country. On top of that, Beau himself is an experienced big woods bowhunter who throws a ton of time and energy into scouting each year. Beau feels that the more time you put into understanding your hunting properties during the off-season, the closer you will get to achieving your deer hunting goals.

In this episode, we discuss scouting the when, where, and why of the land that you hunt. Beau talks about how long it takes for him to get comfortable on a new piece of hunting property, in order to truly understand deer behavior and deer movement on any given landscape. Off-season scouting content at its finest, enjoy!

While many are consumed with winter sports and ice fishing, it's time we turn our eye toward spring! Every winter, there are a few fishermen who live for the ice paradise and relish every moment on the hard water. On the other hand, some can't wait for ice off. Count Hunter Engelman in the latter group. Hunter is an avid bowfisherman from Wisconsin and the owner of Modified Outdoors Bowfishing Charters. Hunter specializes in providing high-end bowfishing experiences for anglers of all experience levels. 

In this episode, Josh and Hunter discuss how Hunter got into such a unique sport, the gear needed to start bowfishing, and how Hunter is able to keep his clients on fish no matter the season or weather. 

To learn more about bowfishing, check out Hunter's seminars during the Wisconsin Fishing Expo, February 24-26 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. The first is titled How to Get Started Bowfishing and the second is Advanced Tactics and Strategies for Bowfishing.
