Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

This week on the Michigan WIld Podcast, Marcus welcomes in, the owner of Flint Ridge Rifles, Jared Walker. The guys waste no time diving into what it's like building a custom rifle, what you can expect from the process, and possibly even a ball park from a pricing standpoint. Jared discusses some of the hurdles he's had to overcome over the last 2 years between price increases and issues with supply chains across the board. Jared talks about shooting at long range targets, where the interest came from and how he approaches long range shots on animals. For anyone looking to make a purchase on a generational firearm, be sure and check out Flint Ridge Rifles.

Lightning can strike twice! This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John tells the story of his 2022 Archery buck. A buck he took on the same day out of the same stand as his archery buck in 2021! John had a little history with this big eight point, and even came close to shooting him with a rifle in 2021. The buck was a little more consistent in 2022, but nowhere close to being paternable. That all changed after the rut though when the buck became a slave to his stomach and started hitting a food source on a regular basis.

The big eight suddenly became one of the most consistent and paternable bucks John had ever hunted, something John has seen a lot during late season. He was so consistent in fact, that John had no problem being patient and waiting for the right time to hunt him. That patience almost cost John the buck however when hog hunters on horse back and a pack of dogs interrupted one of his hunts! In the end though, waiting was the right call, and three days after Chirsmas, John was finally able to punch his second Oklahoma buck tag on the big eight!

Typically after the end of firearms season, the majority of deer hunters have packed it up until next year. Those that pursue whitetails after Christmas with a bow or flintlock muzzleloader generally have less hunting pressure to deal with if you're able to endure the elements. However, the herd that remains at this time of year is typically on edge; not to mention the landscape is barren providing less cover to conceal hunter movements. Deer have been pushed into hiding spots that can seem to be like a dark hole at this time of year. Finding these pockets can be a challenge.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsmen we chat with Alex Krzywulak from the In The Presence YouTube channel. Alex is a public land hunting fanatic that seems to get it done anywhere you put him. However, this does not come without the hard work he puts in to prepare for hunting season by scouting. Even though late season can isolate deer making them hard to find, he is not afraid to get aggressive during morning and evening hunts this time of year. In order for this to be successful, he casts a large net, meaning he does not rely only on a few spots to capitalize. He feels scouting a larger area early allows more places to check this time of year to A) find deer in the first place and B) have options to fall back on if he messes a spot up during his aggressive approach. There is still time to fill a tag and Alex is no stranger to doing so this time of year, good luck!

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with Thad Miller about Thad’s first successful year chasing elk in Colorado. Dan and Thad met at elk camp a few years back. Although Thad grew up small game hunting he recently got into big game hunting after marrying into a family of hunters. Up until this year Thad had helped pack out elk for other hunters at camp but hadn’t had an opportunity to take one for himself until the final day of the 2022 season. Dan and Thad discuss everything that went into shooting and recovering Thad’s first bull.

It's a new year. It's cold outside. The rut is long over. The deer have been pressured hard all season. And you've still got a few tags left in your pocket. We all know that you need to find food and adequate cover to find late season deer. But most of the time, that's easier said than done. But there are a few folks out there that consistently take good bucks during the late season. What's their secret?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Johnny Stewarts about how he finds success when hunting deer in the late season. Johnny has found late season success in several states. He certainly focuses on food and cover this time of year, but there are several factors that help him be consistent. Not all food and cover are of equal importance, and knowing how to tell the difference between the RIGHT food and cover and just OKAY food and cover is the difference maker. In this episode, Johnny shares how he finds the right stuff to get on deer when the temps are dropping. Enjoy!

We’ve found ourselves stuck, trying to trust what we know about whitetail hunting even though nothing seems to be working. In this episode, Parker, Luke & Matt share some of the challenges they’ve faced during the rut and how they have been slowly putting the puzzle together one buck tag at a time.
