The Element Hunting Podcast

Y'all, Green-up is now! I saw Crimson Clover for the first time today. That means gobbles are on their way! K.C. is getting a special opportunity to go into the woods with his Pop in search of a longbeard and we decided to call up an expert to get some advice. Turkey hunting doesn't come natural for us. (When you dont have birds it is hard to hunt birds.) However, Dr. Robert Linder is a bonafide expert on Turkeys and Turkey talk. He goes into great depth on calling, decoys, and concealment. After our chat, K.C. is sure to tempt that toad Tom right in!

Want a vanilla hunting culture that fizzles out in a few generations? Follow the crowd. Want to keep what you love? Be who you are! If we all conform to doing the same stuff to fit into the cool crowd, then we will lose the diversity that makes this lifestyle fun. Use the resources around you. Get in the woods and do what you do.

Today's show is a great one! We get to pick the brain of an awesome shed hunter and all-around good guy, Steven Drake. Steven is a nice fellow with a friendly smile, but there is another side to Mr. Drake. Whether he is weilding a camera, archery equipment, a spotter on a tripod, or a pack full of fresh browns; he is a bad bad man! No matter if it's in the mountains of BC or the coulees of AZ, Steven will be there, going full bore with a positive additude and a grin. He likes type 2 fun, and that's a good quality to have as a hunter.

Steven is a Montana native who has traveled the world hunting and photographing the animals he loves, all the while keeping an eye out for shed antlers.He has provided content for many of the big names out there. He works closely with Sitka Gear and was one of the judges for Sitka's Diverge Photo Contest.

Vlog: Steven Drake (This isn't your run of the mill vlog. This is the product of a creative mind and great videography. Prepare to be amazed.)

Photography: Annuli Collective

Video of the epic Elk shed find Steven Referenced: Giant Shed!

It's that time of year! The "horns" are dropping and the second hunt is on. We are drooling at the thought of whitetail "Brown Gold" that might be lying in wait for us. The rodents better stay away because we will be out grid searching at the first opportunity.

KEEP IT PUBLIC, TEXAS! Wait, what? Yes, you heard that right! We may only have 2% public land, but we are dang thankful to have it. We enjoy what land we have and are willing to stand up to protect it.

Today we are joined by the guys at Storm Water Creek, in collaboration with the Texas Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, for a round-table style discussion on public lands. We talk about what these lands mean to us, how they have molded us as outdoorsmen, and how they allow us to continue our hunting heritage. Of course there are quite a few laughs along the way and maybe a tall tale or two.

Thanks to Jared Kennedy and Jeff Bynum Of Texas BHA for jumping on her with us and to all of the Boardmembers for making this event possible.

If you are interested in joining the fight for public lands and access:

JOIN BHA!

Big thanks as well to Legal Draft Beer Co. for hosting us and having a great facility for us to enjoy. http://www.legaldraftbeer.com/

Today we hail from the rainy woods of Texas where, not long from now, you may have the chance to hear an ol' rope draggin' gobbler sound off from his early morning roost. Some areas are literally "flocking" with birds, while others are devoid of even the softest yelp. It sometimes seems (especially on social media) that the eastern half of Texas is possibly the only place in the lower 48 that doesn't have birds. On a quest for answers as to why this is, we were luck enough to sit down with Annie Farrell and Jackson Harris of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). We came looking for answers, and left with much more. Annie and Jackson are two young people full of energy, positivity, and a passion for wild turkeys. We are now proud to call both of them friends.

Annie is a biologist based in East Texas. She works hard on conservation on both public and private land, habitat improvements, and restocking efforts. She is originally from Georgia and graduated from The University of Georgia.

To get in touch with Annie:

Jackson is a Regional Director in East Texas for NWTF and is based out of the great town of College Station. Jackson often works behind the scenes, gathering manpower, coordinating banquets, and raising money to help fund all the work that NWTF does in our great state. Although he may reside in Aggieland now, he is originally from Alabama and graduated from The University of Alabama.

Now is the time to be in the woods! Deer season really never stops when you are focused on mature bucks. This time of year is the best time to get out and locate where those beasts have been hiding. The foliage is down and the sign is fresh!

Today on the show we pick the brain of a master of post season scouting, Stephen Spurlock. Steven has left out no detail in his system for finding big bucks after season's end. We learn a ton about what types of sign will lead you to big bucks, what a shed antler can tell you, and how to take post season finds and apply them to fall hunting scenarios. Stephen is an upbeat joyful dude who spends an amount of days in the field that most of us only dream of. What makes him great is that he can take what he learns from his extensive experiences hunting and scouting and make adjustments to his strategy that directly lead to success.

Stephen is the founder of Pale Horse Productions, which produces high production outdoor films. Thier film "Grey Light" is a beautiful joyrney into the experience of hunting open country.

Watch it here!

We recently had the pleasure of talking with Jesse Griffiths, chef, author, restauranteur, and outdoorsman. Jesse takes pride in plating delicious, locally-sourced dishes that feature game meat.

Being that Jesse came to hunting in a different way than most, he has some great points and observations that really hit home for us. This dude gets it.

If you're ever in Austin, Texas, you gotta go check out his restaraunts Dai Due and Dai Due Taquería!

Be sure and leave us a 5 STAR REVIEW on iTunes! They really help us!!!
