Pennsylvania Woodsman - Dream Season: Illinois Bruiser Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are back with part 2 of our conversation with Cole Seitzinger in what we are calling a "Dream Season". If you missed last week, Cole shares his 2023 PA P&Y buck kill and the obstacles experienced along the way. It was 8 days later Cole was able to lay hands on his target 150 class buck in the Prairie State. However, the theme of overcoming obstacles remains in place!

Despite initial setbacks and doubts, Cole's wife encouraged him to go on his Illinois hunt after a 12-year hiatus, arriving a day late due to family obligations. Cole bounced around the farm until landing in a tree that proved to be successful. Initially, the wind kept him from hunting his primary target location. The tree he picked was a good distance away but allowed him to observe from a distance. The power of November had his target buck on his feet, which just happened to cruise by his tree in bow range mid-morning. Lots of lessons learned from stand selection and shot placement, to tracking, trusting your instincts, and sharing memories made in the field.

Show notes

In this conversation, Jaden Bjorklund (Northland Habitat), Josh Streichert (JWS Logging) and Jon Teater discussion revolves around making hunting properties more appealing for logging. The main themes discussed include access to the property, volume and value of timber, and the role of landowners in facilitating the logging process. The guests emphasize the importance of factors such as property size, access, and timber contracts in attracting loggers. They also discuss potential pitfalls, such as dealing with pipelines and wetlands, that can complicate logging operations. The conversation highlights the need for clear communication and setting realistic expectations between landowners and loggers.

The guests also touch on the benefits of having a professional forester or consultant involved in the process and the importance of flexibility on the part of landowners. In this conversation, Jon Teater, Josh Streichert, and Jaden Bjorklund discuss various strategies for making timber cutting more valuable and beneficial for landowners. They explore the use of government funding programs, such as EQIP funding from the USDA or NRCS, to supplement the income from logging. They also emphasize the importance of considering the long-term goals of the property and the potential impact of invasive species on timber regeneration. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the value of firewood and the potential benefits of cutting mature trees to promote forest health and increase wildlife forage.

Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs at Autumn Oaks Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

In this the first of the 2024 Autumn Oaks recordings, Steve is joined by Texan Sid Underwood and by Land of Lincoln coon hunter Doug Crawley. The conversations were recorded live in media center of the Kuhlman Center, headquarters for the Event Where History Is Made.

Underwood had the distinction of being the last Bench Show Judge to judge Autumn Oaks in its entirety as a single judge. The event now employs two judges and as many rings in the three-day event. The old friends discuss many aspects of Autumn Oaks, of coon hunting in the State of Texas and their association as co-employees of the Field Operations Department of UKC when Steve was there.

Crawley set a milestone in the UKC World Coonhound Championship that can never be replicated. His Treeing Walker Coonhound Crawley’s Louise became the first-ever female hound to win the UKC World Nite Hunt Championship. Louise accomplished the feat in 1989, thirty-five years ago. Steve and Doug take a nostalgic trip back to Montgomery City, Missouri, then headquarters of John and Linda Wick’s Wick Outdoor Works supply business, including accounts of the hunt that took place in the midst of a hurricane.
