Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 158 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Carl Kossuth from Tethrd. Carl is the Chief Designer for Tethrd. This was a fun one to record because out of all the relationships that I have been blessed with since we’ve started this journey Carl is one that happened spontaneously. We actually quickly mention that in this episode, but we also dive into when Carl got the bug to shoot with the longbow and his passion for that. This was a fun conversation because we haven’t explored that yet on the podcast. After relistening to it, I just might have to fiddle around with one this spring!

In this episode we cover Carl’s successful 2022 season and what led to that success. We dove down some in season scouting techniques that Carl really focuses on to put himself in the best position to kill a buck. This episode also wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t discuss some gear. Carl shared information regarding the new Tethrd Lockdown Saddle! I can’t wait to try this out myself at the GAOS in Harrisburg! Hear also what Carl is most proud of when it comes to developing gear for Tetrhd. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you are heading to the GAOS make sure to stop by the Tethrd booth on the weekends to say hi!

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

The white tail season is winding down to the final days, but predator season is ramping up. This week the boys are joined by Micah, Nate, and Andy of the Missouri Woods & Water podcast. These guys are outstanding hunters in general, but have found a special niche in the predator game in Missouri. While spending time with them at the ATA show, the guys decided a coyote hunting 101 discussion might be a good one. These guys are PhD’s in predator hunting, but this introductory course, will get you headed in the right direction.

Around the state, not a lot going on. Seasons are coming to the close and a new year ahead of us. Paul continues to gear up for Turkey season. The NWTF conference is nearing, so he’s practicing his strut. Andrew spent the weekend grinding meat, and being scared shitless by the neighbor hood doe. Special guest, Mo, of the purple coat mafia joined the show (briefly) this week.

The guys will be out at the Great American Outdoor show in Harrisburg on February 6 and 7 in booth 412 spending time with the folks at GoWild. Stop by and say hi!

Have a great week and be safe if you get out in the woods!
