EP:278 | Bonus: Tree Stand Safety - Stories of Survival and the Importance of Staying Safe Nov 01, 2024

This week we have a very sobering podcast that everyone who hunts from an elevated stand could benefit from a listen. Did you know that one in three hunters will fall from a tree during their hunting career? Many of these accidents are life changing. We’re joined by two hunters who were in different seasons of their lives when they fell from tree stands. A seasoned older hunter, Tony Rossetti, fell before daylight when a wooden step gave away and he lay all day and wasn’t found until late afternoon. Mitch Dozier was a young man in his prime when a numb cold boot broke a limb as he stepped out of a lock-on and landed on his back, forever changing his life. Join us and rekindle your pledge to safety by listening to their stories. You’ll also be inspired by the attitude these men display. Share this and hopefully we can help someone. Listen, Learn and Be Safe.

EP:275 | Deer Hunting with Dogs: History, Strategy, and Culture in the Deep South Oct 22, 2024

This week we have David Smith, the president of the Mississippi Dog Hunters Association, to discuss deer hunting with dogs. Chasing deer with dogs is a long lived tradition in the Deep South. Clubs exists that lease/hunt thousands of acres and turn out hundreds of dogs. We ask the obvious questions about traditions, how it started, how they operate, their strategy, do they try to manage their herds and of course, how they get along with neighbors that don’t dog hunt. There is a lot more discussed and we found it very informative. Did you know George Washington killed his first buck in front of a pack of deer dogs? Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:274 | Bonus: Piebald Deer Oct 18, 2024

On this bonus Dr. Steve Ditchkoff of Auburn University joins us to explain the phenomenon piebald deer. We’ve all either experienced one in the wild or seen a picture on social media. They can be odd looking deer with short legs, humped noses, noticeable overbite and they can also be beautiful animals with white colorations that range from just a few spots to almost total coverage. Are the genetically inferior? Should we shoot them? Are they protected? What other animals can be piebald? It’s an interesting discussion with great information. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:272 | Bonus: Understanding Wolves on the Landscape Oct 11, 2024

This week we’re joined by retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife wolf expert Ed Bangs who was appointed as the Wolf Recovery Coordinator in the mid ‘90’s. We were surprised to learn that wolves had the greatest natural range of any land mammal in the northern hemisphere with distribution seemingly everywhere at one point. They are an incredibly adaptable animal and hearing Ed explain the dynamics of the wolf pack is truly fascinating. He explains how wolves were feared, hated and eventually extirpated. Later wolves became a symbol to many people who have pushed to restore them. Obviously this reintroduction has created lots of issues. Ed does a great job of explaining wolves, why we have conflicts, where there are typically problems, where it works and some of the urban legends we have heard about wolves. Not living in the West, wolves are obviously not part of our daily discussions but we wanted to learn about them. If you are interested in wildlife, this one makes sense. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

We have a great discussion about identifying and targeting specific bucks, rut parties, food plots and how to enter and exit a stands. He also explains his thoughts on killing momma doe early so she doesn’t disperse the buck fawns. Oh and the story of the 200 inch buck named Moe will make you think about what’s a big deer worth to you. It’s a good one. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:270 | Bonus: Understanding the Alligator Snapping Turtle Oct 04, 2024

On this week’s bonus episode, herpetologist Jimmy Stiles brings a giant alligator snapping turtle into the studio to teach of about these turtles. We’ve all seen them and we’re all fearful of those powerful jaws. Old timers say if they bite you they won’t let go until it thunders and some of us are willing to sacrifice one of Dudley’s appendages to see if this is true. Do you know how they make a catch food, where they prefer to live and how long they live? We also discuss burning in hardwood bottoms. Jimmy is about to get his PHD and he has studied the effects of fire on invasive privit and bottomland hardwoods and shares his insight. It’s an interesting discussion. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:269 | The Technical Physics of Archery Oct 01, 2024

This week we take a deep dive into understanding the physics of bows, arrows and broadheads. After losing a buck of a lifetime on a well-placed shot, guest Kenny Thompson spent years collecting data and researching how it all works together, and has developed a system that’s working great for him and his bow shop clients. Kenny takes a hard stance on his preferred fixed blade broadhead choice, and we agreed with much of what he said, but not necessarily all of it because there is also data to back up the effectiveness of quality mechanicals. Understanding that the bow and arrows need to be tuned for balance and for maximum efficiency to enhance penetration made so much sense to us. We talk down range arrow speed, tuning, balance, penetration, and also momentum. All this is discussed to explain where and why to try to hit a whitetail. Everybody should aspire to be an as effective as possible when a chance at a shot presents itself. We enjoyed the conversation and it reiterated to us that we all need to spend more time with our equipment. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

This week we have an interesting in studio discussion on managing whitetails with biologist, and well-known bow hunter, Matt Brock. Matts worked for the states of Mississippi and Alabama and has seen a lot of habitat and ideas. We discuss trail cameras, bottomland versus upland habitat, coyotes and predator management, rainfall amounts and its effect on management practices, tried-and-true strategies he’s acquired over the years, managing expectations, and more. He also tells the story of how his dog, while blood-trailing a deer, got into Temik AND his inadvertent exposure to it while caring for his dog. Matt came very close to having a tragic ending. It’s a hard story for him to tell but we hope someone can learn from it. At the end, he pulls out a jungle carpet python and tells us about his love of reptiles. It’s a great discussion. Listen Learn and Enjoy.

EP:261 | Insights into Sandhill Cranes with Dr. Blake Grisham & Courtenay Conring Sep 03, 2024

This week we’re are joined in studio by Dr. Blake Grisham of Texas Tech and Courtenay Conring, a hardworking young biologist. These two and others have been working a long term research project on Sandhill Cranes. It’s a very interesting discussion and we learned so much. Most people don’t understand the various populations of cranes, their migration, pair bonding, parenting skills and how long lived they are. We did know that they are referred to as “ribeye in the sky” and it was confirmed they are in fact delicious. We also learned just how much fun they are to hunt and we were surprised to learn just how wary they are. Sandhill Cranes have a beautiful throaty call and once you have heard one it’s easy to recognize. We are proud to know these researchers are helping other state agencies understand these wild birds to better manage them. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:259 | Talking Ungulates with Dave Owens Aug 27, 2024

This week we have one of our favorite guests talk deer hunting with us. Dave Owens of the Pinhoti Project is a rabid turkey hunter, and each fall he manages to wrap a tag around an old bruiser whitetail. Is he equally obsessed? What deer sign does he key in on? What are his favorite setups? Is it feed such as acorns or persimmons? Trails? Near bedding? We ask the question, what does he think makes him such a successful hunter? He’s a humble guy but we pull out some qualities that we all can apply to our own hunts. It’s a good discussion – one that a deer hunter will certainly enjoy. Does he get revenge with a trivia question? Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:257 | Creating Huntability & A Secret to Lush Clover Aug 20, 2024

This week we take a deep dive in improving the huntability of a property with a Kenny Thompson owner of Plots Plus. Kenny manages a bunch of farms, plants hundreds of acres, creates water holes, funnels, turkey dusting areas and much more. He explains what he does and how access is one of the most important aspects to consider. Along the way we talk clover and we were shocked to learn his secret for establishing the lush thick clover fields that are his trademark. It’s a great discussion that can help anymore enhance a property or simply improve how they hunt. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:256 | Bonus: Invasive Fish Aug 16, 2024

On this bonus podcast we talk with the Fisheries Extension Professor at Mississippi State, Dr. Wes Neal, about the invasive carp species (including the “jumping” carp we’ve all seen in videos or person) who’s populations have exploded in our U.S. river systems. We talk about them and their close relatives the grass carp, bighead carp, and black carp. We also learn about another well-known invasive fish, the northern snakehead, and how it’s now not necessarily as controversial to some as it used to be. It’s a fascinating discussion to learn how these fish arrived here, what they are doing to the ecosystems and what we can expect in the future. We also discuss how European fisherman revere the carp we seem to loathe. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:255 | Extensive New Fire Data with Dr. Craig Harper Aug 13, 2024

This week we all sit mesmerized by Dr. Craig Harper of UT as he explains his twenty-five-year study of fire and how it affects habitat. We’ve all known the importance of dormant season fires on the landscape but Craig explains the importance of fire at other times of the year and the exact benefits. His long study in conjunction with many other smart minds is now being explained and the results are eye opening. He’s even preaching to burn smaller areas and he thoroughly explains why. Want to improve bedding? He has an answer. Want to create fawning cover? Want to create poult bugging areas? Nesting areas? High protein forbs and forages for a healthier deer herd? You have to listen to this one. We think it may be the most definitive explanation of fire we’ve heard and how using it over the calendar year can help you to accomplish your goals. You might need a notebook. Listen Learn and Enjoy.

EP:254 | Bonus: Eating Crow Aug 09, 2024

This bonus episode we are joined by crow hunting expert and world class caller Sandy Brady. Imagine killing 8,000 crows a year and over 400 in one hunt! Sandy takes it very serious and hunts them hard. He explains his set up style and more importantly explains the black birds vocalizations. He’s also a big turkey hunter and teaches us that the way most folks try to get a turkey to shock gobble is actually the crows alarm call and that may be hurting your chances of seeing that gobbler. That got our attention. We are fascinated by his crow hunting prowess and intrigued to learn how to step up our crow calling game for locating turkeys. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:253 | Managing Whitetails and Dealing with Deer Management Fatigue Aug 06, 2024

On this episode we’re joined by Pierce Young, a deer biologist with the MDWFP who specializes in private lands advice. We start off asking a lot of questions about fawns, the birthing process, how they learn to nurse, their scent, how mom moves them and hides them plus more. We learned a lot and we went on to discuss what most folks are doing right and wrong in terms of managing their property. We also learned there’s a term called deer management fatigue that’s a real thing and affects many clubs and gamekeepers. It’s an interesting discussion centered around one of our favorite critters, the remarkable white-tailed deer. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:252 | Bonus: Conservation in Focus Aug 02, 2024

On this week’s bonus episode we walk down memory lane with Rusty McDaniels and Joe White, two guys who have been filming for Mossy Oak for a long time. We ask about what they have seen outfitters do to manage deer and turkeys that we could learn from, how they have seen attitudes about conservation change. We learn about the bonding that occurs in a hunting camp, the work ethic that has to be present and the memorable experiences you can miss if you’re not paying attention. We also hear some great stories that include deer, turkeys, Florida panthers, mountain lions and fighting black bears. This is a fun one. Listen, learn and Enjoy.

EP:251 | Hunting with Thermals Jul 30, 2024

This week we learn about predator hunting with thermal equipment. Two excellent Louisiana outfitters who specialize in hunting pigs and coyotes with thermals at night join us to explain just how it’s done. It’s a fascinating discussion and we all learned that we all want to experience this unique hunt. We know first-hand how devastating pigs can be to a property, but these guys have found a way to keep the pressure on them and help their local farmers AND have FUN! If you have feral pigs in your area, there may be local farmers that would welcome you to help reduce their numbers. The trappers are using thermals and suppressors to clean up the pigs they can get in traps. We aren’t glorifying pig hunting, but pointing out a way to help put the pressure on these destructive vermin. We also learn what a Rougarou is and how did we miss that? Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:250 | Growing Corn for Wildlife Jul 26, 2024

In this BONUS episode Dr. Erick Larson, the Miss State University Extension Corn and Grain Crops Specialist joins us to explain growing corn for wildlife. Everyone readily admits a field of standing corn can attract and hold wildlife and teamed up with cool season plantings can create beautiful areas of green/grain. However for many food plotters, growing corn can be a bit intimidating. We ask Erick to help us understand how to take agricultural knowledge and apply it to growing smaller plots of corn specifically for wildlife. Erick’s a mild mannered corn genius who recently bow killed a 200-inch whitetail in Kansas. It’s a great discussion. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:249 | They Did What? Duck Hunting Confrontations Jul 23, 2024

This week we are joined by Natalie Krebs, Executive Editor at Outdoor Life. She recently traveled to Australia to learn about the anti-hunting movement that’s vigorously trying to stop duck hunting. We were fascinated to hear about how these groups operated. We’ve never encountered an anti-hunter during a hunt…have you? Her stories are shocking and we thought that every hunter should pay attention to this to understand and help prevent this from happening in our United States. Either through egregious actions during hunts or more discreet methods of changing laws (think California mountain lions and now attempting the same in Colorado), the anti’s are making efforts to shut down our way of life. They don’t understand conservation and how hunting plays an integral role in managing wildlife, while at the same time raising funds for the same animals and many others. This is one every hunter needs to pay attention to and share. Listen, Learn and Be Informed.

EP:248 | Bonus: Night Killers, Blood Lusting Poachers Jul 19, 2024

This week we are joined by retired Game Warden Tim Flanigan. His new book, Night Killers: Blood Lusting Poachers tells the story of his career operating in the dark of night chasing night hunters. The poaching activity where outlaws utilize bright lights to aid in the unethical harvest of deer goes by many names such as shining, spotlighting, and jacklighting to name a few, and it occurs wherever whitetails live. His stories are shocking to say the least – from the blatant disregard with wounding animals to flagrantly threatening the wardens life, which was in clear danger more times than we could count. We explore why some folks fear “Mr. Green Jeans” and we try to understand why poaching even has an appeal to some. By the end of the recording you will have been amazed at what this man went through to protect wildlife in his home state of Pennsylvania. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:246 | Bonus: A Life of Chasing Quail and a Dog Named Puny Jul 12, 2024

This week we’re joined in studio by an old school quail hunter who hunted through and vividly remembers the good ole days of bobwhites. Mr. Tommy Paulk is a larger than life character from Bullock County, Alabama that loves to hunt “pottidges” as he likes to call them. Once a crop duster with over 30,000 acres of private land access, he flushed many a covey and tells us all about it. Who wouldn’t have wanted love to grow up where you whistle for the dogs, take off walking in any direction and be bird hunting. It’s a rare glimpse into how it once was. Also, you know that Bonnie Big Boy tomato you love from the garden, guess whose grandmother was Bonnie? You guessed it. You’ll enjoy this one. Listen. Learn and Enjoy.

This week we have Dr. Mark McConnell, Asst. Professor of Upland Birds at Mississippi State, to talk about the current status and future of a bird we all love so much. The flush of a wild bobwhite quail is an experience that many younger hunters may never have, and we discuss just how did we get to this scenario and what realistically can be done. It’s a deep subject, and you’ll hear it’s one that evokes frustrating emotions. Mark is a well-spoken knowledgeable expert that loves every aspect of the upland experience, and is the perfect guest to tell us what we need to know.

EP:243 | The Degradation of Wild Mallard Genetics Jul 02, 2024

On this week’s podcast Dr. Philip Lavretsky of UTEP and Dr. Brian Davis of Miss State University join us to explain the frightening scenario of the degradation of wild mallard genetics. Released “game farm” mallards were previously thought to not survive the winters, and certainly weren’t thought to be breeding with wild ducks. Turns out that’s not true as they are having an increasing genetic influence on the Atlantic flyway mallards and the phenomenon is moving west. All we have to do is look to Europe to see what could play out. This alarming story plus new information that Dr. Lavretsky explains has everyone worried about the future of our beloved greenheads. If you love wildlife, especially ducks, you’re going to want to pay attention to this one and share it. Listen and Learn.

EP:242 | Bonus: Largemouth Bass and Owning Land with Gerald Swindle Jun 28, 2024

On this week’s BONUS podcast we’re joined by celebrated pro bass fisherman Gerald Swindle. He’s also a very serious hunter and Gamekeeper so we had a lot to talk about. Our plan was to get him to explain a year in the life of a largemouth bass (which he skillfully does), in order to comprehend what they are doing each season of the year. The GMAN’s professional insight into their behavior can help any fisherman. However, we got diverse and talked about the pride of owning property and the challenges that come with it. In addition, we had a deep discussion on fishing tactics, pressure, live scopes and whether or not we’re making fish go nocturnal public waters. This one is way more than fishing. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:241 | Learning from Coyotes with Torry Cook Jun 25, 2024

This week we’re joined in studio by World Champion Coyote caller Torry Cook of Arkansas. Torry, an obsessed hunter, has raised multiple coyote pup litters through the years in order to learn from them. You might wonder if raising pups has made him soft hearted towards them? Trust us, it hasn’t. It was totally a play to get knowledge and use it against them. It’s fascinating to hear him explain what he’s learned and how he applies that knowledge in terms of behavior and understanding vocalizations to improve his game. This was one of the most interesting discussions we have experienced. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:239 | A Shark Discussion with Tom Rowland Jun 18, 2024

This week we have saltwater expert Tom Rowland on to discuss sharks and how they are affecting fishing. It seems social media is full of videos of sharks attacking many different species of hooked fish. It’s really sad to see a big tarpon or any other fish get targeted. Is it the way we fish that is causing this? Are they conditioned to a fisherman’s habits? Is there a solution? Are there more sharks now than ever? Why do we seem to see more now on the beaches? It’s an interesting discussion and Tom has great insight. You’ll want to hear the story of Tom and his dad catching a 13.5 foot Hammerhead in the Keys. Listen, Learn and Enjoy

EP:238 | Why Not Bluegills? Jun 14, 2024

On this week’s BONUS podcast we’re joined by Bluegill record chaser and affable fisherman Trevor Fry. Who doesn’t love catching bluegills in the summer time? For many of us, it evokes special memories from our childhood. Trevor has taken his passion to the next level and as he stalks trophy fish in an effort to catch the Louisiana state record. He has come close and the pond he is intensely managing seems quite capable of producing a record fish. We sit back and listen to him thoroughly explain his thoughts and then we finally get a chance we fire our questions. It’s a fun episode about a great fish with some MSU and LSU baseball stories at the end. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:235 | The Black Bears of Mississippi Jun 04, 2024

This week we welcome Anthony Ballard the MDWFP Bear Coordinator and Dr. Dana Morin a carnivore expert from Mississippi State University to talk about the black bears of Mississippi. The Magnolia State has a long, historic tradition with black bears, dating back to when the Delta region was still massive old growth timber and full of bears! Then of course there is the infamous Theodore Roosevelt hunt that led to the creation of the Teddy Bear. We’ll look to the past, discuss the present and then look to the future in our conversation. It ends up being an interesting look at an often maligned animal that’s making a comeback against the odds and a chance to hear from the people that are dedicated to see it be successful. Would you climb 25 feet up a tree to look in a den and check on cubs knowing the momma bear was there also? That’s the dedication of a biologist that cares. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:231 | A Journey Towards Understanding Hunting May 21, 2024

This week we have a very interesting discussion with author Erika Howsare, whose recent book, The Age of Deer, The Trouble and Kinship with Our Wild Neighbors recently caught our attention. It’s a fascinating look at the white-tailed deer and its relationship with man over time. She explains, “deer have been an essential part of human life for millennia and today our relationship is still intimate, yet full of contradictions: we hunt and protect them, we cull them in suburbs while mythologizing them as icons of the wilderness.” Erika didn’t grow up hunting and readily admits she was ambivalent about the whole process. However, through her research on deer and an open mind, she develops a very deep introspective into hunting, hunters, and our view of the world. If you’re a hunter, especially a deer hunter, you need to listen to what she has to say. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:230 | Bonus: An Ounce of Prevention May 17, 2024

On the latest BONUS podcast, we address the often overlooked step of cleaning your firearms after the season. Longtime gunsmith Ed Sanders teaches us all a thing or two. Do you purposely dry fire your rifle to release the spring pressure? Do you apply a coating of oil in your barrel after the season to prevent pitting? What about the newer guns with applied camo finishes? How do you maintain them? Pat Epling of Mossy Oak joins us to explain all that. Lastly Dr. Ned Miller takes a few minutes to help us understand the sleep debt we all incur during turkey season and how to recognize the signs of its time to stop and get some sleep. Wake up and smell the coffee guys, let’s take care of our guns and ourselves. This one needs to be shared with the younger hunters to help them develop good habits. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:213 | Turkey Tuesday with Dr. Mike Chamberlain Mar 19, 2024

This week’s podcast can only be described as a deep discussion with Dr. Mike Chamberlain aka @wildturkeydoc on some thought provoking issues. We discuss social dominance issues, the latest research that is trying to understand a gobbler's personalities (whether they are home boys or risk takers), and how that affects their mortality. It gets deep when we talk conceptually about killing the risk-taking turkeys, and how we may end up with turkeys that behave in ways that make them more difficult to hunt. Speaking of bad behavior, we ask about tree hopping turkeys and gain some insight. Finally, Mike shares the story of his hunt with us last year and what went wrong. We can all learn from this. It’s a good one. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:211 | Cannon Netting and Relocating Mississippi’s Wild Turkeys Mar 12, 2024

This week we have a truly special guest in Mr. Benny Herring. Anybody that turkey hunts in Mississippi owes him a debt of gratitude, you see Mr. Herring was one of the first team of biologists that trapped and relocated wild turkeys across the state. During the late 1960’s through the early 80’s he was involved in over 90 cannon net captures and releases. His stories are fantastic and transport the listener back into time when there weren’t many turkeys or turkey hunters. The story of this small group of men, learning and perfecting their craft is one every turkey hunter needs to here. Similar stories were unfolding in many states and these Keepers of our Game were communicating best practices to help each other and the wild turkey. It’s a great story and one want you’ll want to share. Listen, Learn, Enjoy.

EP:210 | Dr. Bret Collier Talks Nesting, Gobbling and Long Beards Mar 05, 2024

This week we share a podcast recorded recently at the NWTF national convention with none other than Dr. Bret Collier of LSU. Bret has been studying turkeys a long time and actually took part in the first GPS turkey study. He tells the story about how it all this got started at a bar with a drawing a sketch of the GPS unit on a napkin. Later he melts our minds as he explains his thoughts of raccoons and other so-called nest predators actually being nest scavengers. You might have to listen to this one twice for it to sink in while the take away is we need to continue our focus on habitat, but also step up our larger predator trapping skills. In the end, he has some sage advice for turkey hunters that he has gleaned from his studies of hunters and gobblers. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:203 | 210 Inch Mississippi Whitetail Jan 30, 2024

This week we’re AMAZED – and to be honest, we’re ENVIOUS of the 210 inch set of antlers brought in by Austin and Meghan Ashley. It’s one of the biggest and prettiest deer to ever be killed in the South. Meghan killed this deer in south Mississippi, and immediately after the photos hit social media a storm of rumors, negativity, and theories appeared amongst a few congrats. Listen to the very end as we asked the questions that hopefully helped explain how a man obsessed with growing bigger deer has managed to do it. We humbly admit we need to work on our antler envy issues and while we do that, we hope you’ll listen to this story. It’s a good one. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:201 | The Problem with Wild Pigs Jan 16, 2024

This week we are joined in studio by wild hog trapping experts Jack Robertson and Robbie Taylor of Big Pig Traps. Admittedly wild pigs can be fun to hunt, but they can destroy habitat and cause more damage to the ecosystem than can be quantified with dollars. We learn about how the pigs got here and how they were being moved around the landscape in the dark of the night. We discuss the different stances that states have and what seems to be working, along with what steps need to be taken to make sure they are safe table fare. Finally, the guys explain what they are best at; trapping pigs. They explain using high-tech “drop” traps, to simple wire panel pens with electric gates, to using a thermal scope and a good old fashioned late evening hunt to get that last pig. We officially declare war on the wild pig. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:200 | Antler Envy and Anxieties Jan 09, 2024

This week we really enjoyed the discussion with our in studio guests, Caroline Winters and William McKinley. Caroline recently graduated from Mississippi State and is working for the MS Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP), and William is the MDWFP Deer Program Coordinator for the whole state of Mississippi. Caroline recently killed a giant 190 inch typical, one that she and others had been watching and passing for at least three years. The story of Caroline and her husband and father, finding sheds, watching and passing the deer is a great one and illustrates the point of “let ‘em grow.” William helps explain the several curiosities about the buck, including that he should have died from a previous brain abscess, and goes on to help us better understand what it takes to grow a deer of this caliber. We ask a lot of questions and learn a lot about doe management, buck fawn displacement and why this year it seems more giants are hitting the ground. Did you know that the first biologists that went around telling clubs to shoot does had to have armed escorts? That one shocked us. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:197 | High Tech Deer Recovery Dec 19, 2023

This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we have Mike Yoder of Drone Deer Recovery on to talk about drones with high tech thermal imaging locating dead deer. This modern equipment is not without controversy as the technology is moving much faster than most states game laws. Mike explains the challenges he has met in building a modern means to help deer hunters recover lost animals and the reliability of the thermal imaging and drone. We also have Jim Crumley, the inventor of the old school Trebark camo and one of the most serious bow hunters you will ever meet. He hunts every day (weather permitting) and has been managing a property in Virginia for 34 years. We asked him what’s the one thing he has done on the property that’s made the biggest difference and his answer surprised us all. High tech meets old school in many ways on the episode. Listen Learn and Enjoy.

EP:195 | What’s Wrong With My Deer!?!? Disease or Abnormality? Dec 05, 2023

This week we are joined by Dr. Bronson Strickland of the Mississippi State Deer Lab and he explains deer anomalies. Occasionally at the skinning rack we notice things about our deer that make us wonder everything from what is that, to, is the meat good to eat? Luckily, Bronson knows all and explains it all without getting too gross. You’ll hear about arterial worms, nasal bots, cutaneous fibroma, brain abscess, Bullwinkle syndrome, liver flukes, louse flies and more. It’s an interesting discussion and information that will make you appreciate the white-tailed deer a little bit more. Bronson also brings his own trivia question and attempts to stump us.

EP:194 | A Life So Deer with Kevin VanDam Nov 28, 2023

This week we have a special in-studio guest who evoked a great conversation. Kevin VanDam has been on many podcasts talking hunting and fishing, but we don’t expect you’ve heard him this relaxed and open on an array of relevant topics from stories to management tips. He is a rare individual and we can all learn from him, whether it’s fishing and hunting strategies or how to strive each day to be the best person possible. We spend a lot of time talking deer hunting – and of course fishing. His story of the one fish that still haunts him is well worth the listen by itself. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:190 | Blood Trailing Deer Dogs Nov 07, 2023

This week we are joined in studio by deer dog recovery expert Zach Crowley and his legendary tracking dog, Dayah (a beautiful black-mouthed Cur). We hope you never need one, but if you do it’s great to know there is a network of recovery dogs that can make the difference in recovering your deer.

EP:183 | Food Plot Architecture & Club Management Sep 19, 2023

With deer season now on the brain, we hit up one of our favorite mature buck nerds, Dr. Mike Chamberlain aka The Turkey Doc, for tips and tricks on improving the odds of harvesting mature bucks. Although Mike is widely known for his hands-on and scientific knowledge of all things Wild Turkey, he and his harem of hunting buddies and clients are luckier than most when it comes to actually harvesting the mature bucks they grow. One topic of discussion included tips for encouraging older bucks to set foot in food plots during daylight hours, including how they manage pressure and habitat in the vicinity to really set the scene. It’s not a huge feat anymore to grow and hold mature bucks, but harvesting them on a consistent basis is exponentially more difficult – and they’re doing it! Listen, Learn, and Enjoy.

EP:172 | The Oyster is a Gamekeeper (Bonus Episode) Jul 21, 2023

On this week’s bonus episode of the Gamekeeper Podcast, we re-hash a visit to the gulf coast near Corpus Christi, TX, where we helped document a team of researchers and volunteers as they successfully re-established new oyster reefs with recycled oyster shells. Dr. Jennifer Pollack, from the Texas A&M Harte Research Institute (HRI) in “Corpus,” and Pat Murray, the President of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) joined in on the discussion. We also learn about the program being put on by HRI called Sink Your Shucks... "It's habitat forming." We learned there are many similarities between improving habitat on land and along our shorelines, and how easy it is to make a difference.
There's more to come on this story! In November of this year, "The Oyster Project," produced by AFTCO and Mossy Oak will drop. We are looking forward to sharing this with you and helping spread the word about the good work that CCA and Texas A&M Corpus Christi is doing to improve the habitat of coastal waterways.

EP:171 | Speed Goats and Helicopters Jul 17, 2023

This week we expand our horizons and spend time with Dr. Colter Chitwood of Oklahoma State University. He is known as the @biggamedoc and has many interesting big game research projects that we learn about including one where they catch Pronghorns with helicopters and later they follow the GPS signals of the does, sneak in to try and capture day old fawns. Colter explains the mystic of the Pronghorns and It’s a fascinating to learn about them. We also learn that you shouldn’t text while flying a helicopter and how one of the helicopter wranglers just captured his 10,000th animal. We also discuss collared animals and how the researchers want you to react to seeing one. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:169 | Hank on the Hot Seat Jul 10, 2023

This week we have Hank Parker sitting between the turkeys in the GK studio, to answer our questions and entertain us with stories. We do a in depth discussion on what he has learned through his many years of planting food plots including: how he picks a site, the way he fertilizes, his thoughts on lime, and how he plants his plots. Hank has figured out a system that works for him, and we can all learn from his trials and errors. We ask him which states excite him the most for big deer, he tells about his favorite outdoor experience (which will put a lump in your throat), and he tells a hair raising story about being chased down by the Federales in Mexico. We also get an education on the new and improved way to hunt the Ocellated turkey in the Yucatan Peninsula. It’s an informative and fun one you don’t want to miss! Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:153 | The Story of Avery Island, Tabasco and Wildlife Conservation. Apr 28, 2023

This week Dr. Shane Bernard tells us the history of Avery Island in Louisiana, including fascinating stories about the conservation efforts of E. A. “Ned” McIlhenny (1872-1949), the son of TABASCO® Sauce inventor E. McIlhenny. As the story goes, this man single handedly saved the imperiled Snowy Egret by creating protected sanctuary on the island that by 1911, had a thriving population over 100,000 birds. E. A. also banded over 300,000 birds and waterfowl to learn their migration habits, along with authoring a book with Charles Jordan about wild turkeys. The 2200 acre island also is home to a subspecies of whitetail deer thought to only live on the island. Shane, an accomplished author himself, is the historian and curator for the McIlhenny family and the TABASCO brand, who shares some great stories with us. You’ll be surprised. Listen, Learn, Enjoy!

EP:138 | So You Think You Know Coyotes? Feb 14, 2023

This week we are honored to have Dr. Dana Morin, an Applied Population Ecologist with the Carnivore and Population Ecology Lab at the Forest and Wildlife Research Center at Mississippi State, sitting between the turkeys and explaining many facts about coyotes. We learn they are a fascinating animal, very much deserving of our respect even though we still seem to want to trap or shoot each one we see. They weren’t always in the Eastern half of the U.S., yet have you ever wondered how they got here? Why do they howl? Just how smart are they? If you trap one how long does it take another to fill the void? How large are their territories? Her vast amount of research into their habits and habitat allow her to provide us some serious insight. We learn it all and more. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:134 | Restoring Native Habitat with Kyle Lybarger & Jake Brown Jan 24, 2023

This week on the GameKeeper Podcast we’re excited to have finally had Kyle Lybarger and Jake Brown from The Native Habitat Project in the studio – where we covered as many bases as we could on native and non-native flora, wildlife habitat, burning, savannahs and other ecosystems, and more. We got downright philosophical and really “nerded out” on some cool topics, like: what did the landscape look like 500 years ago, and how can we achieve that look again, but what would be your modern tweaks?, and what if ole Smokey The Bear never entered the picture?. We all made new friends, and learned something as well. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!

EP:133 | A Duck Hunter's Nightmare (Bonus Episode) Jan 20, 2023

This week we get serious and hear a duck hunting story that came awfully close to having a bad ending. Like many of us want to do, Jason Cook found himself duck hunting during a major freeze up. When his dog fell through the ice on a long retrieve and couldn’t get out…like all of us would, he started to his dog in attempt to save him. It's a perilous situation and when Jason falls through the ice himself and can’t touch bottom, it gets even worse. We recorded this podcast hoping to remind duck hunters how dangerous things can get and what to do in case you find yourself in a bad situation.
This is one you might want to share with a friend.

EP:132 | Calling Coyotes Jan 17, 2023

This week we discuss the art of calling coyotes. Expert caller Jon Collins of FOXPRO joins us to explain the many calls and techniques he has learned through years of chasing the crafty critters. Ole Wiley is found in every area of the country, and as Gamekeepers we worry about our fawns and turkeys. We all knew they are formidable predators, but we learn they're susceptible to calling year round and it takes skill to regularly kill them. It’s an interesting discussion. By the way, do you pronounce it ki-yote or ki-yo-te? Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

EP:131 | Arrowheads & Artifacts from the Original Gamekeepers Jan 10, 2023

This week we welcome Jessica Crawford, an incredibly knowledgeable Archaeologist hailing from The Archaeological Conservancy, to discuss all things related to our Native American cultures spanning from thousands of years ago to present day. What type of tools did they use and how did they make them? What site types did they inhabit? Did they practice any type of gamekeeping similar to how we do it today? Where do I look for artifacts, and what is ethical and/or legal means of doing so, and how do I properly document them? What do I do if I find a “site” or “mound” on my property? We also shared a couple of stories about the dark side of artifact collecting. Jessica and her family come from a long line of hardcore hunters and farmers, making her a perfect fit for this discussion we’ve been wanting to have for quite some time. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!!!

EP:128 | Frozen Food Plots (BONUS EPISODE) Dec 30, 2022

In this BONUS episode, in the wake of the recent record cold temperatures, we help Gamekeepers understand what has occurred to their food plots and why many are dead.

Guests Dustin Wiseman and Mitt Wardlaw, both plant specialists, advise farmers daily and they explain to us just what happens to a plant when temps plunge into single digits overnight. We are reminded, Gamekeeping ain’t easy. Listen, learn and Enjoy.

EP: 127 (CLASSIC EP: 68) Creating Whitetail Hotspots

We take a break this week to spend time with our families during the holidays and revisit a classic episode, EP:68 Creating Whitetails Hotspots. The discussion centers around ways to improve the deer hunting for mature bucks on your property. Our featured guest, eccentric wildlife biologist Mark Thomas, does a deep dive on some of his best strategies such as: ecotones, his Interspersion Index Enhancement AKA (Hub and Spoke), and elevated food plots that stretch across riparian zones. It’s fascinating strategic information. Mark Drury joins in to help us ask the best questions. Listen, learn, and be a better GameKeeper. Enjoy!

EP:122 | We Apologize to the Squirrel Dec 06, 2022

This week we humbly apologize to the squirrel. Across the whitetail’s range, our collective love of deer and deer hunting has made many of us forget about what once was a very strong hunting tradition. We don’t want to spook our deer, so we’ve backed away from roaming the woods in pursuit of bushy tails. Squirrels are a challenging target, live in beautiful hardwood habitats and can be fantastic table fare. On this podcast, super squirrel hunter George Brown helps remind us what we have been missing. Warning: whether you’re a seasoned hunter, or are just getting into the sport – this one will make you want to break day leaning against an old oak tree with a .22 rifle by your side. Be sure and check out the outstanding squirrel and dumplings recipe in the show notes. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:120 | Hunting Accidents Can Happen Nov 22, 2022

This week we have three uniformed Mississippi game wardens in the studio, reminding us to be safe this hunting season with stories of other hunters who weren’t. After years of repetition it’s easy to become complacent, get in a rut and take for granted the things we need to do to stay safe in tree stands and around firearms. This podcast is a shocking reminder to wear your safety belt, unload your weapon before you cross a fence, let someone know where you’re going, wear a life jacket in the duck boat, and much more. It’s one you will want to share with younger and new hunters and a great refresher for the seasoned. Listen, Learn and Stay Safe.

Show Notes:

We want to thank our guests Ricky Barry, Jake Guess, and Marshall McCraw for making the trip to West Point, MS to join us in studio. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us!

This week we sit down and talk ducks with Dr. Ryan Askren, a waterfowl ecologist/researcher from the University of Arkansas at Monticello, and the legendary Jim Ronquest from Drake Waterfowl Systems. There is much to learn about the migration habits from the data that GPS transmitters have provided. We also dig deep into habitat, forage preferences, nocturnal instincts, and many other questions duck hunters ask around the campfire. We also key in on the management of red oaks and their importance in the wetland areas. It’s a fascinating discussion. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:116 | Why a Gamekeeper Needs a Suppressor Oct 25, 2022

This week we have an interesting discussion about how suppressors can help Gamekeepers manage their properties. We have always preached how important it is to reduce pressure and noise pollution and suppressors can really help a Gamekeeper do that. Especially when having to harvest a high number of does to meet management objectives. The guys from Nosler and our own local expert explain the whole process to us from how to purchase, the geometry of sizes, how suppressors work, what ammo works best for hunting, subsonic ammo and can they help save your hearing. Do you have a lot of does to shoot? Have a small place and worry about pressure? Just like the idea of being quieter? This informative podcast is for you. Listen , Learn and Enjoy.

EP:115 | Gamekeeping with Gerald Swindle Oct 18, 2022

This week we have a lot of fun with our guest Gerald Swindle. He’s a well celebrated professional bass fisherman, but is also a rabid Gamekeeper who intensively manages properties in multiple states. We discussed improving the hunting, habitat and value of his properties in between his funny comments. You just have to hear his story about qualifying for The Bassmaster Classic with an upset stomach. If you don’t laugh, something is wrong with you. Juxtaposed against his funny stories, Gerald also may have made the most poignant comment said so far on the Gamekeepers podcast. It had to do with wearing camo and it really hit home.

EP:114 | The Do’s and Don’ts of Feeding Whitetails Explained Oct 11, 2022

This week we discuss a topic that can be polarizing. No doubt feeding and the use of feeders is rampant across the whitetails range. Where legal, feeders can help a Gamekeeper’s efforts to attract and hold wildlife on a property, BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE in a way that minimalizes potential problems. There are right and wrong ways. In an effort to learn, we have Dan Moultrie discuss what he believes works, and he gives tips that Gamekeepers can utilize. Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland also joins us to help ask the best questions. It’s an interesting discussion. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

The change in the physiology of bucks from summer to fall, the change in the native forage and planted plots from summer to fall, and the change in antlers from velvet to hard-horned. We also discuss the importance of the mighty acorn to wildlife. Did you know that bucks will eat the velvet off their own and another bucks antlers? That surprised us.

This week our hometown hero and brilliant biologist, Dr. Bronson Strickland, joins us once again where we discuss forage plantings for our favorite cervid, the white-tailed deer. We ask a lot of questions including what we need to be planting, vs. what we want to plant. Bronson also brought a list of trivia-style deer related questions to ask us, which was loads of fun. One question about how many calories a lactating doe needs per day really shocked us! At the end we have a hair-raising discussion with an avid hunter and shed-hunter, named Laurian, who was recently stalked and attacked by a mountain lion for over a half mile out in Utah. It's an amazing story. You don't want to miss this one. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!

EP:100 | Insight into Oak Masting and More with Dr. Marcus Lashley Jul 05, 2022

This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we welcome one of our favorite guests, Dr. Marcus Lashley (@DrDisturbance), from the University of Florida. We begin by discussing summer scouting for desirable plant species, while many are blooming and easier to identify PLUS how to gauge them as indicator species. We also give a tip on an app or two that can help a Gamekeeper ID them. The presence of these plants or lack thereof can be important information to a Gamekeeper. Marcus also explains a recent study on “oak masting,” and how this information can help improve your hunting. It’s commonly thought that many trees of the same species synchronize and drop their mast/acorns at the same time, but the study shows some interesting insights. It’s the 100th episode, but the guys don’t reminisce much and get right to the subject matter. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:98 | No-Till Without a Drill Jun 21, 2022

This week on the podcast we dive deep into more efficient methods of establishing plantings for wildlife, without having to till the soil. Methods such as Throw-and-Mow and Frost or Snow Seeding are increasing in popularity because it’s easy, cheaper, better for soil health and ultimately the critters. The use of implements such as roller-crimpers are explained as a way of cutting back on herbicide use and improving growing conditions. Gamekeeper Magazine Editor-in-Chief and our Northern food plot specialist, Todd Amenrud, and his uncle and incredibly knowledgeable hunting buddy, Dave Medvecky, share their successes with these planting methods. Lastly, Dudley answers a question from a listener about Catalpa worms for fishing. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:91 | Get Ducks With Ramsey Russell May 10, 2022

This week we have outfitter and waterfowl enthusiast Ramsey Russell from GetDucks.com. Ramsey is arguably the worlds most traveled and accomplished waterfowler, so we sat him down in the studio to hear some very interesting stories from his travels, but also hit on a few theories about the seemingly recent changes in the North American duck migration patterns. It quickly becomes obvious he’s in this game much more for the journey than the hunt. We also deviate from the ducks for a moment to hear his story about pursuing the western capercaille in Russia – a huge species of grouse that hunts very much like a turkey. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!!!

EP:88 | History Of The Wild Turkey With Brent Rogers Apr 26, 2022

This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we have Brent Rogers @gobblegitr, who takes us on a fascinating discussion of the history of the wild turkey.

EP:71 | Fishing Is Hunting Jan 04, 2022

With temps hovering around freezing or colder in most of the country, we decided to shift gears this week and think about warmer climes and fishing adventures. World class tarpon guide, Craig Brewer, joined us to deer hunt recently. While he was in town we sat him down to explain what’s going on with the water quality of the Everglades and the Florida Keys. As Gamekeepers, we need to pay attention to what’s happening. Of course we also talk fishing/hunting, and we all learn a lot from a man who was born to be a tarpon guide. Craig and his father were the first, and for many years, the only father/son to both win the prestigious Gold Cup of Tarpon Fishing as guides. The man is legendary, and his knowledge and insight is invaluable. Listen and learn. Enjoy!

EP:64 | The Ins & Outs of Processing Deer Meat Nov 09, 2021

This week on The Gamekeeper Podcast we dig deep into the world of processing venison from two different angles. First, Brad Lockwood joins us on the phone to discuss “harvest to freezer” from a DIY standpoint. Brad has been a very prominent name in the DIY processing biz for years, and we spent time gleaning ideas and techniques from him including aging meat. Next up is Chris Herring, a well-respected local game meat processor, who joins us in the studio. Chris clears the air by answering a few touchy questions we’ve always wanted to ask, like “how do I know I’m getting my own deer back,” but also talks about some specialty products that can be made, packaging options, and others. This one was very educational, but we still managed to get a few laughs in as well. Listen, learn and enjoy.

EP:60 | Ode to the Oak Tree Oct 12, 2021

This week we point the microphone at our own tree hugger, Dudley Phelps, and ask him a bunch of questions about oak trees. There is no doubt that a working knowledge of trees can make you a better woodsman and Gamekeeper. Listen and learn what acorns drop first and last, plus- why they are so relished by deer and other wildlife. Learn where certain trees grow and how you can add value to your property and your life, by planting trees. It’s a good one and gets deep as Toxey joins in to explain his personal obsession for trees. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.

EP:42 | Invasive Plants: Searching For a Solution Jun 15, 2021

Whether we realize it or not, we are surrounded by invasive plants that weren’t originally here. Expert Greg Wall from Helena explains the most common ones, where they came from, how to control and how they could affect a Gamekeepers property. These discussions can get argumentative as not everyone is one the same page about some invasives that actually benefit wildlife. However it’s clear, as Gamekeepers we all need to know what we are dealing with and how best to control. This is a multiple listener requested topic. Enjoy.

EP:37 | The Reelfoot Lake Tragedy May 11, 2021

In late January, the duck hunting community was shocked when the news broke out of Reelfoot Lake that two duck hunters had been killed, and a manhunt for the alleged killer was underway. Rumors ran rampant, especially when the body of the suspect was recovered. Now that the dust has settled, we've learned the truth is different than what rumors led most hunters to believe. But the murders still leave many unanswered questions. The Gamekeeper Podcast welcomes Outdoor Life Senior Deputy Editor Natalie Krebs, who interviewed the only witness, and other Reelfoot hunters, to write a very compelling story of the events that occurred that fateful day. A GoFundMe has been set up for the families and funeral expenses of the two men who were killed. To donate, click here. (http://bit.ly/Reelfoot-Support)

This week we welcome our good friend Jason Hart of Nomad Outdoor, to discuss the recent completion of the U.S. Slam where he killed a turkey in all 49 states they inhabit.

On episode 28 of The GameKeeper Podcast we continue to talk turkey with George Mayfield.

EP:25 | Giant 241-Inch Deadhead Buck Feb 09, 2021

On episode 25 of The Gamekeeper Podcast, Ohio hunter Jason Kline tells a great story of a truly giant whitetail he was chasing for almost three years. The deer had become a local legend since he was often visible feeding in a bean field along a main highway. After a close call with him in the woods, the deer suddenly disappeared in October and Jason and others feared the worst had probably happened. After the season ended, Jason discovered the fate of this giant whitetail. With a Boone and Crockett score of 241, this is one shed hunt Jason will never forget. We also discuss: making cane sugar syrup, canning deer meat, post season supplemental feeding whitetails, and much more. Enjoy!

EP:24 | The Challenges of the Amazing Wild Turkey with Dr. Michael Chamberlain Feb 02, 2021

On episode 24 of The Gamekeeper Podcast we welcome Dr. Michael Chamberlain, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management at UGA. We discuss the challenges that must be overcome for a long beard to reach adulthood. We also touch on the condition of wild turkey populations with Dr. Chamberlain as he shares his extensive research and knowledge on the species. We cover everything from managing habitat, making a better impact with predation, bag limits, season dates, insect populations, and what we can do, not only as individual Gamekeepers but as a collective to preserve wild turkeys. The bottom line, there is plenty of work that needs to be done to continue to preserve the wild turkey for future generations. Enjoy!

EP:18 | Understanding The Whitetail Rut with Dr. Bronson Strickland Dec 07, 2020

On episode 18 of The Gamekeeper Podcast, we welcome back Dr. Bronson Strickland with the Mississippi State Deer Lab, and discuss the whitetail rut. As always, we learn something new from Bronson as he shares his extensive knowledge and breaks down the stages of this highly anticipated annual event. We also share stories of recent father guided hunts, including: little Dudley’s first deer, Bobby’s daughter’s first bow kill, and how Lannie taught his youngest a tip on keeping his hands warm while in the deer stand. A phone call to Nathan Douglas explores a mysterious tip on a big buck he was rumored to have recently harvested, leaves us shaking our heads. Dudley answers a question from a concerned listener about why his “magazine cover” food plot isn’t being eaten, but the one that wasn’t limed is being hammered.

EP:16 | Predator Management Practices and Red Wolves with Dr. Mike Chamberlain Nov 17, 2020

On episode 16 of the GameKeeper Podcast, we welcome Dr. Mike Chamberlain of UGA, a wildlife researcher, professor, and fanatical hunter to the show. Is it possible that red wolves (or even their genes in coyotes), still live in the southern US? Dr. Chamberlain helps answer this question by explaining the history of the red wolf and what efforts were taken to try to bring them back. He also explains that our habitat management practices could be helping predators more than we realize. Dudley answers the question, should you practice crop rotation with your brassica food plots?

EP:14 | Managing Foxworthy Farms with Glenn Garner & Surprise Guest Jeff Foxworthy Nov 03, 2020

On episode 14 of the GameKeeper Podcast, the crew discusses whitetails with world class Gamekeeper Glenn Garner, the manager of Foxworthy Farms, and we also get a surprise visit from our favorite Gamekeeper and legendary comedian, Jeff Foxworthy. Glenn and Jeff tell their secrets on creating ideal whitetail habitat and their strategies on harvesting giant bucks, including Jeff’s secret to staying calm. Although creating cover, planting food plots, and knowing what days to hunt are all key, they contribute the bulk of their success to having the common goal of leaving the land a better place than when they found it. We also invite Bill Gibson, Mossy Oak Kennels Master Trainer (AKA the dog whisperer) to the studio. Bill tells us the story of how the kennel started and demonstrates his patented growl that all the dogs respond to. Dudley answers the question: Is it the white oaks or red oaks that don’t drop their acorns every year, or do they both drop every year?

EP:11 | Can You Poacher Proof Your Property? Oct 22, 2020

On this episode of the GameKeepers of Mossy Oak Podcast, we take a look on the other side of the fence to try and help poacher proof our properties. We put our feelings aside and welcome the self-proclaimed “prince of poachers” Charles Beaty to the show. Follow along as this convicted poacher from Texas helps us understand the mindset and hopefully how to prevent and protect your property against violators. We are also reminded that everyone’s life has a different path, life’s decisions can bring major consequences and that we have all made mistakes. Plus, Bobby digs up some interesting facts on bobwhite quail that you might not know and Dudley answers the questions: Is it too late to plant in the South and what should I plant in a last minute food plot? My sawtooth oaks are not making acorns, why and what can I do to help them start producing.

EP:10 | The Mystery of the Southern Long Tail Cat: Sometimes Described as a Black Panther Oct 12, 2020

On this episode of the GameKeeper Podcast, we pick apart two unverified southern long tail cat sightings in Alabama and dive into the age old disagreement: Do long tail cats really live in the southeast US and are the sightings legit? First we test two stories between Lannie and CJ Davis, who were together when their mystery cat appeared. We get both stories separately to see if anything sounds fishy. Later we interrogate Mossy Oak’s Rob Moore and his story of an Alabama long tail cat he encountered after killing a deer. Rob reluctantly breaks his silence and it’s a great story.

Ask Dudley: What’s the best way to plant and care for fruit trees and what really happened to the Chestnut trees?

On this episode of GameKeeper Podcast, we talk with David Lindsey of The Lindsey Way. David tells the amazing story of Mr. Mumbles, the 9 ½ year old Georgia buck that was only seen three times in person and left a long history of sheds on the ground. Mr. Mumbles finally shows himself during an early bow season hunt and the rest is history. David also shares a few tips on what makes their GA farm so successful and how the trees they plant, play a key role in their hunting success.

Also Dudley answers the Ask Dudley questions, and the Gamekeeper crew discuss how persimmons seem to be the downfall of many early season southern bucks.

EP:8 | Cawt By The Yawt: Trapping with David Ellis Sep 29, 2020

On this episode of the GameKeeper Podcast, we welcome our first in-studio guest, the trapper and social media phenomenon David Ellis, famously known as YawtYawt. The Yawt talks; techniques on trapping the big sounders; traps he prefers; the difference between lures and baits, singing to skunks, and giving back to the community. The crew discusses: Mississippi State University hog tracking research; deer season kicking off; last minute food plot equipment repairs; acorns falling and some giant bucks already on the bragging board. Dudley answers the questions: what’s the best food plot option for low moisture; best oak trees for lowland areas that are flooded in winter for ducks. We also dabble in piebald deer, long tail cats, southern black bears, and much more!
