Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Nate Krick about summer trail camera pictures and if they can help your fall hunting strategy. As we all know by now a mature buck may not live in the same place or on the same farm all year long. As the landscape, food sources and time of year change so can the home range of a specific deer. Knowing this, Dan and Nate try to answer the questions, "Do summer trail camera pictures even matter?" It's a great conversation with both guys talking about their specific properties and what the deer seem to be doing over the course of a year. Enjoy!

Joining Marcus on the podcast this week is Mike Schmillen. Mike is the owner of 2% Certified, River City Tile & Stone. The guys cover a lot of ground in this conversation including how Mike started the business, the importance of spending time with you kids outdoors and the importance of giving back to conservation. Having grown up in the outdoors and been exposed to conservation work at a young age, Mike is doing his best to pass that same love and passion along to his family. Mike tells a good story about some work he and his team did last year helping remove and repair fencing to allow for easier pronghorn migration in southwest Montana; how not only will it help the pronghorn, but all of the other species in the area as well. Mike and his crew are not only getting involved in large scale projects like that, but are doing a ton of work locally in Minnesota as well. Mike is all about doing the right thing to ensure that generations to come are afforded the same opportunities we are today.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talk with Johnny “Utah” Mulligan about his journey working in the outdoor space. John has his hands in a little bit of everything: hand made turkey calls, the Primal Divide show on Carbon TV, freelance photography and videography, you name it, he’s doing it! But things weren’t always so good as John transitioned into the hunting industry full-time. In fact, in 2019, he wasn’t too far from throwing in the towel. With just a few dollars in his checking account, he thought he may have to hang it up in the hunting industry and go back to a regular 9-5. But then, as John says, the phone rang, and it hasn’t stopped ringing since!

Tune in to hear the story of grit and determination that got Johnny where he is today. Topics covered in this episode include John’s pre-outdoor industry career, all the different arenas John’s currently working in, and why time as an undercover narcotics officer might just be the best training field to learn about marketing. Tune in and be inspired to chase what you’re passionate about!

This week John and his guest tackle one of the most requested topics of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, Bowfishing! Bowfishing started gaining popularity in the late 80's and early 90's, but really took off in the 2000's. Casey Minshew is well known in the trinity river bowfishing circles, and his specialty is large alligator gar. Casey has been called on and acted as a guide by biologist conducting research, and even had the pleasure of taking Tim Wells on an adventure. Though he is highly regarded and respected, he does little guiding and mostly just enjoys bowfishing and the challenges of finding and hauling in giant gar.

On this episode Casey and John spend a little time talking about the gear you need for bowfishing and how it differs from traditional archery equipment. They then spend a little time talking about the difference between bowfishing at night versus the day, and how to locate and shoot fish at night. Then comes Casey's favorite topic, finding and shooting huge alligator gar. Not only does he talk strategy, he also gives a lot of general information about alligator gar and their behavior and habits. If you have ever been interested in bowfishing, you will definitely want to check out this episode. Every time Casey puts his boat in the water, his goal is to find a 7 foot fish!

Man, we made it! Triple Digits, the century mark, a milestone where podcasters find that their little project has now become something greater. On this Episode of Huntavore, Nick celebrates getting to this point, then relieves the amazing weekend up north at Total Archery Challenge; the friends, the fun shots, and the food. Smoked Shot Shells were a surprise hit, so we break down this little meat treat. Nick also hit the foraging gold mine of Golden Oyster Mushrooms. So I invite you, pour a glass, and celebrate with Nick, on this 100th episode of Huntavore.

First, Nick needs to thank a small village for their involvement in Huntavore. His wife and kids, Former co-host Dustin, huge encourager Peggy Kline, Dan Johnson and the entire Sportsman’s Empire, all the amazing guests and listeners. Thank you all.

Total Archery Challenge, Crystal Mountain Michigan was a huge hit. Like any big event, some hiccups were there, but our experience wasn’t tarnished. Shooting two days, 4 courses, hiking plenty of miles and floors, making what at first looked like impossible shots. What a wonderful way to practice long range archery. One of the dishes that we made was Smoked Shot Shells

Here is the link:

Nick also stumbled upon a stump loaded with Golden Oyster Mushrooms. His culinary drive was salivating. First objective was to preserve the bounty. First was sauté and freeze. Second was full dehydration. Incredible how much water is actually in mushrooms, they dried down to almost nothing.
