Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Nick Green from the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. The guys talk about a bit of a hot button issue here in Michigan and that's the expansion of Army National Guard Base, Camp Grayling. The National Guard is proposing to lease an additional, roughly 160,000 acres of public land on top of the roughly 140,000 acres they currently occupy. The guys cover how everything came about, what the initial feedback was from the public and where things currently stand. Whether you're a Michigan resident or just an average conservationist, this is an episode that you'll want to hear.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Will Boyle a firefighter from Pennsylvania about his constant desire to grow as a hunter.

Will was exposed to hunting from an early age. He had a lot of success in the early years but it wasn't until joining the Air Force, stationed in the deep south that he really began figuring out how to target good bucks and harvest more consistently. Now Will is back in his home state of Pennsylvania and is applying what he learned to see if it works in the north. Will hunts with his bow, gun and flintlock in PA. His passion is targeting mature deer but he will hunt anything with an open season from groundhogs in the summer to pheasant and ducks in the fall.

In this episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett recaps his recent trip down to Alabama for the second annual Veteran's Hunt put together by Spartan Forge. This event helped raise money for two organizations supporting vets as well as provide a fun hunt atmosphere for everyone involved. Prior to the actual hunt starting, Garrett had driven down from Minnesota to do a day of scouting and still hunting a vast area of public land, which ended up yielding deer sightings at close range and confidence for any potential future trips going back. 

Once the hunt started, Garrett paired up with a marine corps vet to hunt with. They ended up killing deer on back-to-back-to-back evenings, and Garrett describes some of the hunts in more detail which were a combination of pre-sets, hang-and-hunts, and still hunting in the rain. Camp camaraderie, stories, jokes, and food were top notch.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 157 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Cam Derr from Exodus Outdoor Gear. Cam also is host of The Deer Gear Podcast and can be found on a ton of Exodus’s YouTube videos. For this episode Cam talks about his expectations vs reality for this past hunting season with some amazing storytelling. We had Cam on the show back in the spring when he had high hopes of pulling an Iowa tag and filling his ND tag for the second year in a row. Well, as it turns out Cam pulled that Iowa tag, filled it and filled his ND tag on his biggest deer to date in velvet.  

Hear how even success brings challenges and how persevering leads to his success. From struggling with shooting his bow, Cam was able to gain the confidence back and get the job done. For the ND hunt, Cam shares what he needs to see from the field in order to go after a deer and how that totally changes when he goes to Iowa. For just shy of two weeks, Cam’s Iowa story had me in total awe. It is something that I believe every whitetail hunter dreams about one day when they have the chance to hunt Iowa and from this story it did not disappoint. Cam wanted a specific experience, and Cam got it.  

Exodus Outdoor Gear just released a brand new Rival cellular camera and they will be at the GAOS in Harrisburg in two weeks. Get there early to snag one if you are interested and Cam also shares what he will be doing himself with some arrows at the show!  

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