Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

As we reach the halfway point of spring turkey season there are generally two separate conversations that emerge. Either the success of a textbook turkey hunt, or a tangent about turkey populations being off. If you find yourself in the latter half, pay attention! This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Mike Dreibelbis about his journey into trapping nest raiders and fawn nabbers. Mike found his passion for trapping later in his hunting career and began to hone his craft of targeting coyotes and nuisance predators.

Fur prices continue to fluctuate and the days of making money on a trap line are nearly over. As the quality of habitat increases across the country for better deer and turkey hunting, naturally predator species will respond in a positive way. Unless you're a diehard trapper yourself, it's possible that the increase in predators has an impact on the turkey (or deer) hunting in your neighborhood. Mike's journey of learning to master this art is filled with a ton of knowledge that you may be able to apply in your area. Hopefully this will fire you up to run a trapline this fall for future hunting, or consider inviting a trapper to come and help you out!

In this episode of the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, we dive a little deeper into what makes Matthew Reaves tick. Whether it be gaining permission on private land for possible hunting opportunities or learning the woods through his occupation as a timber specialist, there are just a few things that have made his 2022 season unforgettable. Matt and Adam crews will also cover Matt's last two public land birds from both Alabama and Georgia.

We're getting close to ending our turkey episodes this year, but we have one or two left up our sleeve. As sad as that is we are ready to shift our focus back to public land whitetails. If that's more your cup of tea, then get ready!

Choosing the right bow for you is really important. But don’t overlook the accessories! Quality accessories can go a long way in enhancing your bow’s performance and making the entire archery and bowhunting experience more enjoyable. But should you shoot a three pin or single pin sight? Drop-away rest or whisker biscuit? Stabilizer or no stabilizer? And what kind of release should you shoot? The choices can be overwhelming, but this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast is all about simplifying the accessory selection puzzle. 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with return guest Nate Sellers of Average Jack Archery about bow accessories. The guys cover the basics of peep sights, rests, sights, and stabilizers. When it comes to bow accessories, you often get what you pay for. But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. Nate shares the pros and cons of different accessories, some personal recommendations, and things folks should consider when outfitting their bow. 

You can find more from Nate on his YouTube channel, Average Jack Archery, and on his website, www.averagejackarchery.com.
