Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

The first time Mitch heard Paul Campbell from the Ohio Outdoors (O2) podcast say the words, "the month of October belongs to turkeys," he thought Paul needed to be checked into a mental hospital! However, after chatting with Paul and Brett Barry on this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, there may be some merit to those words after all! Both Brett and Paul think about turkeys the way many guys think about whitetails and have a fall turkey hunting tour planned out each season. If you've never hunted turkeys in the fall, it's a whole different story compared to spring!

Both guys begin by sharing their infatuation for turkeys, and Brett leads into his introduction to using dogs during the fall season. He touches briefly on developing a dog for turkey hunting and the gear needed, then immediately dives into the strategy behind scouting, busting up flocks, and calling in turkeys during the fall hunting season. Most turkey hunters think about hunting in spring when gobblers are fired up during breeding season. But during the fall, finding food and security cover is key, just like hunting whitetails. Brett and Paul are loaded with tips and tricks to being a more successful turkey hunter, especially during the fall when birds' behavior is a little more difficult to manipulate!

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, we take a step away from an actual product that we use to hunt and focus more on the education of hunting through OutdoorClass. Today we talk with Lorenzo Sartini, founder of GoHunt and more recently OutdoorClass, an education based platform designed to educate and and assist in the learning for new and experienced hunters. OutdoorClass is broken down in to several video modules so you can consume educational content at your own pace. Lorenzo explains that their current content is western and cooking focused, but that they have big plans to expand in to more eastern content like turkey and whitetail hunting. If you are interested in furthering your skills and education definitely check out OutdoorClass.

Aaaahhhh, sweet November is upon us! The rut will soon cure our every woe, and whitetail bucks will throw caution to the wind and run circles around our stands just waiting for us to take a shot at them… right? While the rut can be the best of the year to arrow a mature buck, this is no time to take it easy. In fact, increased buck movement should motivate whitetail hunters to work even harder to make sure they’re in the right place at the right time.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Tony Peterson about how Tony approaches hunting the rut. For Tony, scouting is critical as he wants to put himself in a high odds spot that gives him the confidence that a buck he’s after will swing through. The guys discuss what kinds of things Tony focuses on during the rut, how much things like buck sign and hunting pressure play into his strategy, and why it’s crucial to keep moving if you’re not on the action. Enjoy!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, the entire conversation revolves around the late October timeframe know as the pre-rut. Dan is joined by fellow podcast Nate Thomas of the Missouri Woods & Water podcast to discuss some of their favorite hunting strategies for this time of year. The guys talk about everything from hunting fresh sign like rubs and scrapes as well as specific locations like staging areas and bedding areas. The guys talk about their experiences observing deer behavior as well as when they start to see the mature buck increase their daily travel. Like the guys mention there is not one specific way to hunt the Pre-Rut, but there are plenty of signs that you are in the right place... but is it the right time?

Week four of org month brings in Ben O'Brien from the newly formed The Hunt in Common. Ben started THC with the hopes of getting new hunters into the field using mentors local to their area. An idea that stemmed from an email Ben received over 2 years ago from a listener on his podcast talking about wanting to get into hunting. Not only does THC get new hunters into the field, it more importantly helps build lifelong relationships with like minded people. If you're at a place in your outdoor journey where you want to help others start theirs, be sure and check out thehuntincommon.org.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 144 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by NJ native Greg Litzinger. For those of you that know or have heard Greg on other podcasts know how much time and effort Greg puts into scouting and hunting. Greg has been successful for a very long time and when he speaks on a topic he makes it extremely relatable. This specific episode we dive into topics regarding the pre-rut phase. More specifically what sign he is looking for, his camera strategy and how/what develops a gameplan around what the sign and trail cameras are telling him. The main goal for Greg this year is to get back to his roots to find the freshest of fresh buck sign. If that sign is not there, keep moving forward until he finds what you need.  

Greg also dives into saving specific hunting locations for this specific time frame of the year, finding food sources, hunting mornings or evenings, scrape setups, having the killer mentality and how to avoid/overcome obstacles. A TON of great information here and we hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week with Ryan Glitsky! Best of luck out there and Antler Up!

This week the guys sit down with Jon Teater of the Whitetail Landscapes Podcast on the Sportsmen’s Empire Network. Jon is an experienced veteran of the white-tailed deer woods and specializes in habitat management. Jon’s based out of New York and often big woods situations, but he also spends a lot of his time in the midwest working with smaller properties. This show is designed for those managing properties under 30 acres. How to pull deer to your property, what to focus on, the successional stage of a habitat and more.  

It’s been a busy week around the state of Ohio. Paul and Andrew have both spent time out in the woods. Paul recaps his first time out hunting turkeys with dogs in northeast Ohio, as well as some time in the tree. Andrew’s got his 3rd doe in the freezer. Like always there’s always more to the story, and although this time the shot placement was perfect, the deer had some… well… interesting shall we call them boobies? 

News around the state is very active. We discuss the NWTF’s work in Ohio, Deer Harvest totals, Scary stories, Littering and more. 

Have a great week and good luck to those getting out into the great Outdoors of Ohio!
