Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On today's episode of the DIY Sportsman Podcast, we're talking summer scouting and strategies once again. This time, I'm talking to Rendell Erik who hunts primarily public land located in Iowa. This is a good contrast to the episodes I posted with Steve Sherk since the terrain is different. However, you'll still see similar tendencies in many cases for what deer are doing throughout the summer months and how to capitalize and maximize your intel. We talk about boots-on-the-ground scouting versus minimizing intrusion, running trail cameras, where to place them, how often to check them, whether it's better to cluster them or spread them way out, mock scrapes, glassing, and even how to start to transition some of the intel into early season plans.

With hunting season only a couple months away, it’s time to start thinking about food plots. Some hunters believe they’re the ticket to tagging mature bucks each fall. Others avoid them, supposing daylight sightings of bucks are few and far between on food plots. What role should they play in your hunting strategy? And what goes into establishing a food plot that will attract deer?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Jon Teater of Whitetail Landscapes about establishing food plots on your hunting ground. Jon is an absolute wealth of knowledge when is comes to habitat and managing your ground for whitetails. Each year, he helps landowners design their properties to attract and hold big bucks. In this episode, Jon talks about the importance of soil health, minimizing hunting pressure on food plots, and shares tons of tips on food plot design and planting.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Brayden Ware from GoWild about his experiences in the outdoors as well as an upcoming music and archery event call Sent It Slam.

Brayden is a Growth Specialist for GoWild. Although he grew up fishing, hunting had to take a backseat throughout high school and college due to his participation in baseball. Brayden has since connected with a childhood friend and fellow hunter and has fallen in love with chasing deer with his bow in his home state of Indiana. Brayden will be participating in his second season archery hunting whitetails from his saddle setup. Dan and Brayden talk about the upcoming event in Louisville Kentucky and what attendees can expect from the first Send It Slam.

We're humbling ourselves this week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast by talking about the biggest mistakes we've made that ultimately cost us killing big bucks. The hope is that you'll be able to listen and learn from our heartbreak, and hopefully not find yourself in that position. Truthfully, the best learning opportunities are usually the ones that cost us something. Things discussed:

- Letting your girlfriend/wife kill a big buck on their first hunt

- Losing focus 

- Target panic

- Bad access to your spot

- Not being comfortable with your equipment

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with good friend Tim Kent about the difference between good hunting gear and great hunting gear. Tim is not only a serious hunter, but has been working in the hunting industry for several years and has had the opportunity to test a variety of hunting products in the shop and in the field. The conversation revolves around what the main differences are between products that are just "good enough" verses superior products with added functionality. Sometimes the differences can be great and sometimes the difference can be as objective as personal preference. The guys discuss if price reflects quality, where a product is manufactured, and specific products like bows, boots, treestands, and archery accessories. This is a great BS session with a couple serious hunters

This week on the Ohio Outdoors podcast, the guys are ready to Send It with the guys down at GoWild!! Leading up to the first ever Send it Slam, Brayden from GoWild joins us to talk about the event. Lots of good information about the event as well as what to expect. Sure to be a good time!

The meat of todays show comes from a sit down the guys had with Wes Adams from SciotoMade in Columbus Ohio. Wes is an Ohio native that started a store where he designs and produces shirts, hats, wallets, bags, and other unique items. Much of the inspiration behind his products comes from his love of fly fishing and the outdoors. Wes is an avid conservationist and devotes a lot of his time to helping clean up rivers and other outdoor areas.  

Your hosts have been busy breaking arrows and trying to figure out how archery works prior to the Send it Slam and Archery Hike. There’s not much more to say about that. 

Check out timetogowild.com to find out more about Send it Slam on July 9th!

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with Justin Madron. Justin is the owner and founder of 2% Certified Farther Afield Design. The guys cover a lot of ground during their conversation ranging from childhood memories to voting lines and grouse hunting. Growing up in a rural area of West Virginia, the outdoors is all that Justin had to keep himself occupied and from that a love for wild places grew. Justin gives some good examples of how his company is using geospatial data to help a number of different companies and nonprofits alike to further their mission along with explaining the difference between what Farther Afield does and how someone like goHUNT is using their mapping system. This is a great conversation from start to finish!

In this podcast Tim Russell (Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services) and Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discuss the importance of understory vegetation management. Tim details a recent client visit and understory strategy he employs to help improve deer use. Tim explains the importance of light and how to manage that across the varying levels of forest infrastructure. Both contributors discuss plants deer eat. 

Tim and Jon discuss the process of evaluating the understory and the best perspective to allow the correct amount of light to the forest floor to improve cover and food. Tim discusses his method to evaluate the density of trees and the proper technique to ensure that landowners understand how to look past the number of trees per acre. Jon provides some suggestive basal area measurements that may be helpful for significant understory improvement and regeneration. Tim explains the concerns he dealt with on a client visit and how the client is shifting his focus to improving overstory and understory plants.   

Tim explains what to do first before cutting any trees. Both contributors discuss plant use and replacement and the benefits to deer or other animals. Tim discusses the impact of legacy effects from deer and how that can alter the resulting forest. Jon discusses strategy to increase understory value for deer. Tim explains a concept called timber pimping and how not to be taken advantage by someone that may want to devalue your timber.

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with New Mexico mule deer fanatic Marcus Placencia about the challenges of hunting mature mule deer in the deserts of the southwest.  

Marcus is a lifelong New Mexico resident that is obsessed with mule deer hunting. Marcus has been chasing animals in “the land of enchantment” since he was 8 years old. His first kill was a cow elk with his bow at age 12 and he’s been hooked on bow hunting ever since. Marcus has recently expanded his mule deer hunting into Arizona and is hopeful to start drawing tags and chasing bucks in many more states. Dan and Marcus discuss the vast differences between hunting whitetails in the midwest and chasing mule deer in the southwest. Dan and Marcus discuss possible hunt swaps between Missouri and New Mexico.
