Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

One of the most intimidating parts of getting into deer hunting is the buying gear. The options are endless, and almost everyone has strong opinions about go-to gear you simply can’t live without. Pair this with the top notch marketing of many great brands, and a guy or gal looking to get into the sport can feel lost. This is certainly true when it comes to selecting camouflage. So how do you pick the camo that’s right for you?

In this episode, Josh talks with John Adams of Natural Gear Camo about what you should look for when purchasing camouflage. While John is certainly partial to Natural Gear, there are lots of great brands that produce quality hunting apparel. But not all camo is created equal. Josh and John discuss key elements of quality hunting clothes like pattern considerations, fabric, layering, durability, and price. If you’re looking to outfit yourself with gear that will keep you comfortable and concealed while hunting, this episode is for you.

We're excited to have a guest from South Alabama named Jay Hembree of Panola Productions. Jay hunts gobblers mostly in the river bottoms and swamps of south Alabama with great success! We're getting fired up about the upcoming season and Jay adds fuel to that fire, talking about how he tackles the river bottom and swamp land on his home turf. We talk about how water can make or break a turkey hunt, with Jay sharing some specific scenarios he's found himself in on past hunts.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Evan McElyea, a die hard waterfowler and bow fisherman from Michigan. Dan and Evan discuss everything from banded birds to shooting goldfish.

Evan is from a small town in southeast Michigan. He grew up hunting and fishing and always wanted to make it a career. He and his partner currently run a guide service in Michigan called Northern Flight Outdoors, where they specialize in hunting ducks and geese in dry fields. If he’s not waterfowl hunting he is in a treestand hunting whitetails, ice fishing for big walleye on Saginaw Bay or taking the boat out bowfishing. It’s safe to say that Evan is an all around outdoorsman and he loves to pursue anything and everything Michigan has to offer.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan is joined by Mark Kenyon of Wired To Hunt about rethinking his approach to whitetail hunting. Mark had a bit of a stressful season with multiple hunts in different states in a very short period of time. Wounding a deer early season and missing a big buck during the rut led him to taking strides to improving his archery skills. Mark talks about how he uses fly fishing to make up for not being in the midwest during the summer months and how that activity keeps him motivated for his fall hunts. This is a really good episode that will leave you thinking about how you approach you hunting adventures.
