Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by a huge advocate for #eatwhatyoukill, Jeremy Critchfield. Jeremy is the HuntChef and host on Sportsman’s Channel. With 34 years in the culinary profession and a lifetime in the woods, Jeremy has a huge knowledge base and passion for wildgame and the wildharvest. We unpack some food for though ideas, and then put the bead on using your harvested wild turkey. Settle in for an incredible chat on this episode of Huntavore.

Jeremy Critchfield is the co-host of the Sportsman’s Channel Show MTN TOP Outdoors, and a wildgame chef. With a lifetime of experience, Jeremy has made it his business to bring wildgame out of the shadows of being gamey, and into the true light of being real, wholesome, delicious food. HuntChef even went to the lengths of trademarking #eatwhatyoukill. Nick and Jeremy unpack that idea on how we as sportsmen have a 2 fold approach. First is to show the public that we are here for food and meat as much as or even more than the killshot. Second would be to ourselves. We have a responsibility to get the most from our harvest, give thanks for the animal, and to share with others why we go to such lengths and why it's our personal passion to take our meat supply from the woods.

Jeremy gives us a challenge to take our turkey breast meat to the next level. He suggests that by sheeting out a breast, using a sharp knife to butterfly out that piece of white meat, and add a stuffing of your choosing. Roll the sheet back up and cook under a slow even heat. Slice the meat cross the roll and serve a “pinwheel” looking serving of delicous whitemeat and stuffing. Its called a roulade but Jeremy says its not difficult to prepare this crowd pleaser. Jeremy has also put his expertise into a whole line of seasonings and rubs. Check it out at: huntchef.com

Hunting elk east of the Mississippi River is arguably one of the greatest conservation success stories in North America. While the herds seen today in Pennsylvania are actually Rocky Mountain Elk transferred from western states, it's still a thrill to see and hear this species roam the state. On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch and Robby chat with Jacob Coons about his recent elk hunting trip to the Keystone State.

Jacob is driven to the challenge of hard-earned DIY hunting for western game but is also allured by the unique hunting opportunity for elk in eastern states. He drew a late season bull tag for the 2021-2022 season and was fortunate to connect with the trophy of a lifetime. Jacob shares with us all of his homework to prepare for this tag and what he learned throughout the entire experience. You will likely learn something about elk hunting PA you never knew, as Jacob's attention to detail is superb!

On this episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett talks about his recent weekend trip to hunt public land in WI in which he shot two birds on back to back mornings. For the first bird, terrain layout and tree type played a massive role in the setup, because the bird appeared to be roosting in a place where his most likely travel after fly-down was likely to be in one specific direction. The second bird required a bit more trial and error to try and locate and roost, but the set up was driven more by prior experience hunting that area than it was strictly looking at the map. Garrett also talks about the opportunities for over-the-counter late season tags in WI and choosing between smaller areas with higher turkey populations versus larger areas with lower turkey densities.

This is going to be the last episode of our Turkey series for 2022 on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast. We've really enjoyed talking about what Adam calls "The most glorious winged creature God put on the earth". This week we're going to close out with the final chapter of Parker's single season slam, as he chases merriams turkeys in Wyoming & Nebraska. It's long been said that a hunter is only as good as how he responds in the face of adversity. Typically, the merriams is one of the easier sub-species of wild turkey to hunt. However, this trip was going to prove to be a tough one. Listen along as Parker shares the story of this western turkey hunt!
