Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this week’s episode, the guys sit down to talk with Greg Kazmierski of Whitetail Partners in Ohio. Greg brings his past years of deer hunting to Ohio to work with the Whitetail Partner consulting service. Greg’s passion for white tails is evident in his work with designing and helping land owners with their hunting properties. Greg is a Michigan native, who gives his insight on how to utilize different land features from swamps to ag fields, and everything in-between. Greg also has the ability to use drone technology for mapping properties and utilizing new technology to take your property to the next level. 

Paul was privy to a trip out west in the past week, where he got to do some special workouts with our friend Brayden from GoWild as well as the crew from Mountain Tough. More info to come from Mountain Tough, but as we get closer to the New Year, now is a GREAT time to start thinking about healthy life style choices. 

Andrew spent a lot of time the past week cleaning up his deer skull which is now hanging proudly in the living room. The guys are wrapping up the year and gearing up for the holidays. Deer numbers from the extended gun weekend are in, and King Coshocton continues to reign supreme. Not sure if there are really any deer left out there, but congrats to them for continuing to bring deer to the freezers. Some Walleye and Perch hatch numbers are in as well. Central basin yellow perch numbers are still down, but the Western Basin is well above average for Walleye and Perch.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with Pennsylvania native and Arizona transplant Stephen Tyrol about the differences and challenges of learning to hunt the west. Stephen grew up hunting in PA where there was no shortage of deer and seemingly unlimited tags. That all changed when he moved to Arizona and had to relearn most of the things that go into hunting. Having been in AZ for over 10 years Stephen has had the chance to hone his skills and increase his resume by chasing a wide range of game like bison, lion, elk, deer, javelina, antelope, coyote, bobcat, quail & dove. Dan and Stephen discuss the steep learning curve that comes with hunting the west as well as stories of hard work and success.

For some, deer season is fading into the rearview (cue the weeping and gnashing of teeth). This means it’s time to branch out to a few new topics. Somehow, the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast has yet to cover the topic of ice fishing. Today, we fix that with an entire episode devoted to ice fishing!

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Shawn Strehlow for a little ice fishing 101. The guys discuss the barebones essential gear for ice fishing, some of the higher end luxuries of ice fishing, locating fish, and the basics of ice fishing strategy. Whether you’re an experienced ice fisherman or just diving in, this episode is for you.

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we get to talk with the host of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast John Hudspeth about his recent elk trip from hell. John got to go on an elk trip this year after waiting for several years and the trip barely even got started when disaster struck for him. However, as the quote goes from one of the worst movies I've ever watched, "without evil, we would never recognize good." John's horrible luck and misfortune has brought out the best in our hunting community and we wanted to shed light on that in this show. If you would like to contribute to the gofundme set up for John, hit the link in our bio or right below. If you can't that's okay too, just send some well wishes John's way. Thanks for listening.

This week we have a much needed change of pace on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Josh Taylor joins John to talk about the line of products he and his partner Morgan offer at Oklahoma Fowl Company. Based out of Oklahoma City, OFC offer a line of blind accessories to make the lives of waterfowlers both more organized and safer. From shell holders to magnetic gun rest, the products offered by OFC are designed and battle tested by hard core duck hunters. Wether you hunt from a boat, layout blind, A-frame, or homemade blind, OFC has a product to make your hunt more organized, and more enjoyable.

One of those hard core product testers is Josh himself, who has been chasing ducks and geese from Nebraska to Texas for years. After Josh runs us through the different OFC products, he and John talk hunting and it becomes very obvious that Josh has spent some time over a decoy spread. Josh gives a crash corse on hunting geese which is something John has done very little of in his life. The guys talk decoy spreads, blinds, and the difference between calling lesser and greater Canadian geese. Deer season may be ending soon, but there is still plenty of time to get out there and hunt some waterfowl!

On this episode of Huntavore, the chat goes beyond the meat and dives into the extras: organs, bones, hides, venison tallow even.  Nick is joined by Canadian guide, wild edibles connoisseur, and all around culinary adventurer, Stevie_funfur.  Together they pick over the pieces that are usually an afterthought when processing venison.  Which organs are they keeping and how does Steve prepare his for the kitchen, how stock and broth are both super important, and some possible avenues for  deer tallow.  Time for us to pick over what's left and glean some tasty tidbits on this episode of Huntavore.

Steve is a guide, wild edibles teacher, and all around cool dude who loves to play with his food.  From forage to gardens, Steve is adding to his diet and taking less away from the grocery store and the established food system.  Nick sought out Stevie after following along with his instagram stories of aging his whitetail doe in the far north, actually using a space heater and blankets to keep her from freezing solid.  On top of that, he was keeping the hide, scraping and salting to give to a craftsman who could turn it into leather.  First being a super cool idea, Nick also wanted to turn the conversation into using those under-used bits that get lost in the whole process of getting a deer in the freezer. Organs and items from the gut pile and how that can be a very intimidating aspect of hunting.  Liver and kidneys were the focus.  Broth and stock was also a great chat because of all the value it provides as a dish base and a powerful way to intake nutrients.  Lastly the guys chat about the assumed bad flavored venison tallow.  While it has an amino acid that makes the fat coat the mouth, it can be used for a whole number of crafts and uses.  For more info on Steve, follow along with him on his instagram @stevie_funfur
