This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast the boys get the pleasure to talk with Joey Hartley with Mangy Dog TV. Mangy Dog TV is an awesome YouTube channel run by Joey and one thing that sets him apart from other channels is that he uses decoy dogs a good portion of his hunting season. Joey comes on with us and talks about the ins and outs of hunting with decoy dogs, the benefits of it, and some of the differences between it and just calling normally. It's a great show full of information and new ideas when it comes to hunting coyotes. Enjoy!

BABY IN THE HOUSE!!! John and his wife welcomed their little girl into the world last week and all three of them are doing great. Lucky for all you listeners, John prerecorded an episode for you guys beforehand so there is still an Oklahoma Outdoors podcast this week! John will be telling the story of his 2022 spring turkey, and how an out of town wedding turned into a lucky stroke for his turkey hunting. 

John stopped by a friends lease on his way to a wedding in west Texas and had only one morning to get it done. With a little OnX scouting and a whole lot of luck, John was able to have one of his best turkey hunts ever. Multiple setups, quick decisions, and a turkey right next to the truck are all a part of this exciting story!

This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast we chat with a fairly well known Pennsylvania Native, Cory Gulvas. For those who do not know, Cory killed the number 2 typical whitetail with his recurve during the 2020 hunting season in Pennsylvania. Cory is extremely humble and believes there was a lot of luck behind that success story. However, we believe that luck is something that follows those who prepare well, and Cory is someone who spends countless hours preparing for the upcoming deer season. 

We start part one of the conversation by breaking down the progression of Cory's interest in big woods whitetail hunting, going from a compound to a recurve, shed hunting, and his philosophy behind the pursuit of his quarry. One big lesson to take away in his message, is that the hunt is not about the kill. In fact, he said he does not overly enjoy killing animals although it is part of the hunt. Rather, he cherishes the road you take to get there and would rather pursue a mature buck and come home empty handed than kill a younger buck just to fill a tag. We also chat about calling deer in big woods, shed hunting, and a few other pieces of strategy. It will leave you ready for more, so be ready for part two next week!
