Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Mark Jones. Mark is the owner of newly 2% Certified Citrus Arrow Coffee Co. The guys start their conversation talking about Mark's path that led to him starting his own coffee company and what one of the driving factors was for giving back. Growing up in California, Mark has always had a deep love and appreciation for the ocean and the wildlife that inhabits it. Through Citrus Arrow, Mark is able to work with a handful of local and national organizations to give back and help keep our oceans clean. If you're looking for a good cup of joe that supports conversation in the process, be sure and check them out!

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with Colorado native Chase Seilheimer about his adventures chasing elk in the Rocky Mountains. 

Chase is a self admitted elk addict. He grew up wishing he could go elk hunting with his dad but was too young so he stayed home and shot everything that moved with his BB gun. As soon as Chase could hunt he was following his dad through the mountains. It wasn’t until later in life that Chase’s love for archery hunting really took off. In his own words, “The mountains are like a second home to me and they unlock something in my family bloodline that is like nothing I have ever felt before.” Needless to say Chase is hooked and he’s continuing to be a student of elk and elk hunting. Chase shares all about his early hunts and how his strategy has evolved as each season passes. Dan and Chase talk about gear, tips, daily strategy and so much more as they make final plans for the upcoming hunting season.

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Jake Ehlinger (Habitat Solutions 360) discuss the matching hunting strategy and habitat. Jake discusses some of his latest techniques to reduce browse pressure on food plots. Jake discusses deer numbers across the country and on his own personal property and how he manages this issue. Jake details his recent successes on his property and what will make his client’s successful after they evoke a plan and strategy.

Jake defines transition areas and their significance when designing a hunting property. Jake discusses social zones and how they are important to deer movement and his top strategy to make these areas highly productive. Jake explains early, mid and late season habitat and how that relates to specific hunting strategies he employs. Jake explains when he hunts during the day for each period of the hunting season and how tactical he is in his approach to diagnosing when to hunt deer. 

Jake explains when he starts hunting morning areas and what he believes are the best strategies to harvest a buck during the rut. Jake has a humble attitude and his realistic approach to putting himself in the right areas at the correct time based on the habitat has increased his sightings. Jake and Jon discuss long-term changes that can be made and how this will increase the quality of deer property and how the enhancements have paid off on the properties they both manage and own. Jake explains how his habitat has changed over time and how this has benefited his hunting, to include increasing the number of mature bucks on his property.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Tyler Jordan about what it was like growing up in the hay-day of Realtree. Tyler explains that he didn't realize how big Realtree was and the impact his father had on the hunting industry and the hunting community when he was younger. He talks about how his dad never put any pressure on him to follow in his footsteps on both the hunting or the business side of things. He talks about going to college and stepping away from Realtree but then naturally returning after experiencing life outside the industry.

Tyler shares that his father is his best friend and even though they may disagree with each other in the office, they talk everyday and keep the peace. He talks about some of the obstacles he faced in the early years of dating his wife, some of his favorite places and species to hunt, and a lot more intriguing conversation. Another awesome interview you will be sure to enjoy!

This episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast has been a long time coming! Dalton Wortham with the Creek Adventure Podcast joins John this week to talk about fly fishing in Oklahoma. Dalton makes it a point to let people know that fly fishing is not just for the trout streams of the rocky mountains, or the overly wealthy. Dalton and his friends do a lot of their fly fishing in rivers and lakes right here in good ol Oklahoma, and target a vast multitude of species. If you can catch it on a regular rod and reel, there's a good chance you can catch it on a fly rod!

Dalton and John talk about all aspects of fly fishing, from beginner rods to the basic gear you need to get started. John asks about some flies that work well in Oklahoma as well as other places, and a few good bodys of water people should check out. And though the guys make it a point that fly fishing is for more than just trout, they do talk about some of the great trout fishing opportunities that Oklahoma offers for both fly fishermen and rod and reel folks. There is no way you can listen to this podcast and not get at least a little curious about fly fishing, and Dalton throws out some other great resources to help people get started and learn more.

On this episode of Huntavore, joining Nick on this in depth discussion is returning guest, Nathan Judice, the RecreationChef. Together they unpack the rib quarter of deer; the location, characteristics, and sound cooking treatments of these muscle groups. Along the way, the guys add tips and tricks to get the most out of this very finicky quarter. If you’ve been wanting to better utilize your deer’s midsection, make it easier to bone out for burger, or elevate these under-appreciated cuts to center stage, tune into this episode of Huntavore.

Ribs, Brisket, Sidemeat

Location: extends from the lower neck to the pelvis, as high as vertebrae and extending the length of the rib to the sternum.

Muscle groups/cuts: intercostal muscles: rib meat, attached between each rib, layers of muscles with pockets of hard fat.

flank muscles: attached near the groin and ending at the last rib. Thin in profile, long muscle fibers, lean, some 

diaphragm: AKA Skirt Steak, internal muscular wall, works the lungs. Located along the inside of the ribs

brisket: front chest muscles. Connects from the sternum to the shoulder. Thin profile, pronounced grain

Things to watch for:Thick layers of fat: cut out any thick layers of hard fat, mostly on the outside layers of the ribs. Does not render, very waxy. Not to be confused with soft fat that is striated in the meat.

Blood meat: Naturally from a dispatch shot to the lungs, there will be some loss to blood and fragmented bone.

Nothing to salvage on damaged flesh. Surface blood can be cut and scraped off an intact muscle. Membrane filled with blood can be removed.

Punctured Paunch: Burst Gut material inside the rib cage can compromise the inside cuts. Thick membrane on the inside wall does protect outside muscles. If gut shot and left to lay, the harvestable parts can spoil. If during field dress the gut is nicked, quickly remove the gut, and flush with cold water for several minutes.

How to Prepare Each Cut (in our opinions)

All cuts can be added to the trim pile. Tip: cut from the ribs, chill flat, makes finding globs of fat and removing this thick fat easier.  

Rib: Nick: Two Stage Cooking, low and slow at first, finish at high heat to crisper. 

Nate:Low and Slow Smoked, 2-3 hrs on smoke, 2-3 hours wrapped in foil, then finished on a hot grill or in your oven on broil. Option 2; Pressure cooker with jus to cover (30 mins to 1 hour) then finish over a hot grill with favorite BBQ sauce

Dish: Nick: Venison Rib Lolly Pop

Nate: Venison McRib Sandwich 

Flank/Diaphram/Brisket: Nick: marinaded, followed by high heat, sliced thin cross grain.

Nate: Agree with the above 100%, one tip for last minute marinade is to vacuum seal or chamber seal with the marinade to aid in quicker penetration. Or inject marinade 

Dish: Nick: Steak and Frites

Nate: Venison Pinwheel. Marinade, pound it out, season all sided, slather with pesto and/or roasted garlic, roll that bad boy up (paying attention to the grain so you’re slicing against the grain), truss or tooth pick it and sear on all sides hot and fast! Serve it with a nice summer salad or ratatouille.
