Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

In this podcast Josh Streichert (JWS Logging) and Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discuss the importance of logging on the landscape. Josh explains how he sets the bar high when it comes to his clients and how the changes on the landscape can improve deer habitat, hunting, and other woodlot considerations. Josh breaks down the key considerations to hiring a logger or forester. Jon and Josh discuss timber sales and what strategy they employ when they set up bedding areas for deer.

Josh explains some basic and more in-depth strategies when it comes to client goals and what landowners need to do to establish trust when hiring a professional to cut their timber. Josh explains what landowners normally perceive as the most important aspect to hiring a logger or forester. Josh and Jon go through the steps a landowner should take to get a logger under contract and how to evaluate their own woodlot.

Josh discusses what trees to cut first, and his tactic to sustain timber across a property. Josh discusses the state of the timber market and where he expects it to go in the near term. Josh explains his most preferred time to cut timber. Jon and Josh discuss the buying and payment contract options that are used and the positives and negatives to either option.

This week on the show Nate and Micah talk with returning guest Ren Witte about his 2021 season and his pursuit of a buck he nicknamed Tupac. Usually hunting stories told are that of success, but Ren's pursuit of this buck last year had to be one of the biggest series of horrible events we have ever heard from one hunt, let alone an entire season's worth. Ren had one thing after another go wrong as he tried pinning down this buck, and after one crazy or bad thing would happen to him and he was ready to move on to the next chapter, another bad thing would happen. All of the things that happened to Ren during last season were all out of his control, and can make a hunter feel very discouraged and make hunting very aggravating, the exact opposite effect it's supposed to have on us hunters. Ren's story is one that hopefully encourages the listener to keep a positive mindset and to just keep your head down and working, no matter how bad you think it may get. Ren's year last year is proof that it can always be worse. We want to thank Ren for coming on to talk about his horrid year in the pursuit of Tupac. In the real hunting world it's not always rainbows and sunshine, sometimes it's just a big shit show. Thanks for listening!

Today's whitetail hunters are becoming more and more mobile, and Out on a Limb is here to provide the gear folks need to make those split second moves as easy, quiet, and efficient as possible. Matt Garis joins the Oklahoma Outdoor Podcast this week to talk about their complete lineup of mobile gear and accessories. Matt and Out on a Limb started off making lightweight tree stands and climbing sticks, but have quickly made a name for themselves in the saddle hunting community with their rugged yet extremely light saddle platforms. All of Out on a Limbs products are machined and made right here in Oklahoma by passionate and experienced hunters, and if you get the opportunity to handle some of their products, the craftsmanship really shows. These stands and platforms are so lightweight it is almost an optical illusion when you pick them up, it just doesn't seem possible that they can be made out of metal. 

After Matt and John finish the mobile gear talk, John dives into a little preseason hunt update. On his last trip out to the ranch he discovered the cows had destroyed everything, and he means everything. Luckily most of it was fairly easily fixed, and he got a little extra work done as well. He is preparing for his early season Nebraska hunt, and trying to finish up his preseason prep on the home place in Oklahoma.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by Greg Tubbs, co-host of Okayest Hunter and an avid venison consumer. Together, they tackle a question Nick has been asked a lot lately; What do I do with these roasts, besides roast it? If this is you, prepare to put those large cuts to work for you, as we explore cooking methods that take you from low and slow to hot and fast, as the guys try to lay out some ideas that best serve the cut, and save it from a slow death of freezer burn. Get ready to thaw out the big top round on this episode of Huntavore.

Greg Tubbs is co-host of Okayest Hunter Podcast, and a long time avid venison eater. Greg grew up on the stuff along with everything his family hunted and fished. Greg was a perfect candidate to join me on this discussion of “what to do with large roasting cuts”. That’s easy, roast it. However it’s not that simple. Not all of us have the time or need that much roast all to once. As seasons around the country prepare to open, freezers are being ransacked for the arrival of new meat. Which brings us to using these large cuts. 

Greg opens up with a rouladen, opening up the roast into a large flat sheet, spreading on a filling, rolling it back on itself and securing with string or toothpicks. A slow cook and sear, followed by a slice across the grain has a fun pinwheel to serve. If that doesn't wet the appetite with all the preparations, two easy routes would be to ground into burger or sliced thick, cross the grain for steaks. Burgers and steak are easy for a Labor Day weekend along with a whole host of things to make throughout the winter. One steak dish Nick’s like is a swiss steak recipe from his in-laws where instead of beef round comes venison bottom round. Butterflied to make a double steak and tenderized (10” lodge skillet will do the trick). Season with salt and pepper, get it browned on the outside, and let simmer in a pool of gravy or cream of mushroom soup. Served alongside mashed potatoes and you got a rib sticker that will power you through those afternoon chores. Next was several ideas where thin slices would be helpful; stir fry, philly cheese on a griddle, jerky. If large cuts intimidate you, there is no shame in spreading it all out. To close, Greg and Nick circle back to leaving the cuts whole. A sunday roast is worth saving, and when made into pot roast cant be beat. Pastrami or any type of brined/cured and smoked meat will please a hungry crowd and re-freeze quite well.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Zach Votava to discuss how a strategy change in 2020 led to him shooting his biggest buck in 2021. Zach explains that for over 15 years he was a complacent bowhunter. He didn't move around a lot, he wasn't taking any steps to becoming a better hunter, and was in a self-admitted rut even though he was consistently shooting deer every year. Zach talks about how during the pre-season of 2020 he started listening a hand full of podcasts that got him interested in changing his bowhunting strategy and leading him to bagging his biggest archery buck.

Trail cameras are arguably the most helpful scouting tool available. Even though recently an ethics debate has emerged, they are still valuable when learning animal patterns and behavior. Many of us find ourselves adding to our arsenal of cameras each season. More cameras means more pictures, which can definitely lead to a massive time investment as well as a headache in organization. However, there are tools which can make life a bit more efficient.

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch and Robby chat with Jon Livingston from DeerLab. Jon is one of the founders and creators of this software tool which allows more efficient data collection. If you struggle with organizing camera images and correlating trends due to the massive amount of time and clutter, this episode is for you!
