Oklahoma Outdoors - Florida Fishing and Scouting a Military Base Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John recounts his guided fishing trip down in Florida. Redfish were the number one target for the trip, and one of the highest fish on John's bucket list. His Brother in law Logan tagged along and teamed up with Captain Torin of One More Charters. Right off the bat the guys faced challenges with high summer temps and low tide waters. After some time trying to catch bait, they finally went after the big fish and it turned into a pretty epic morning of fishing.

After the fish tale, John talks about his recent trip up to the McAlester Army Ammunition plant to try and learn a little bit about the area before his hunt in November. The base was open for a traditional bow only 3D course that pushed several archers to their limits. John met some great people, learned some valuable information about the hunt itself, and got a feel for the area. The main thing he learned was just how thick the cedar choked timber was, and how getting a clean shot is going to be extremely difficult!

The Range - Nate Axtman: Snack Boy, Muleys & Hockey Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world.

Nate starts with his introduction to hunting as a young man with upland game alongside his family. He started shooting an old recurve bow that his dad owned, which led him to a job at the local Scheel’s sporting goods store in Grand Forks, ND.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him.

Ricky talks about an upcoming Mule Deer hunt that he and Nate will be partnered up for this upcoming fall. This hunt has been in the making for many years, and the guys briefly discuss the plan and the excitement quickly setting in as the day nears.

Nate then tells a story of struggle, focus, and perseverance that accompanies a recent Pronghorn Antelope Bowhunt. Camping out in a ground blind for 3 days in 90-degree heat, may have led to a bonfire fueled by the sleeping bag and clothing involved.

Huntavore - The Importance of Knowing Where Food Comes From Aug 08, 2024

Nick is joined by chef Adam Diltz, who sheds light on why knowing about his dishes is so important. Along with health and wellness, it brings an understanding of history and valuing the wholeness of what is presented on the plate. So come along on this chat, on this episode of Huntavore.

Chef Adam Diltz, owner of Elwood Restaurant, discusses his passion for food and the importance of knowing where our food comes from. He emphasizes the value of using every part of an animal and the cultural shift away from this mindset. Chef Diltz also talks about his involvement in teaching culinary skills to aspiring chefs and the importance of hands-on experience.

They talk about making fish soup from fish heads, using fish collars and heads to make fish cakes, and repurposing fish trimmings for salmon tartare. They also touch on the trend of reducing the quantity of red meat and focusing on higher quality cuts, such as grass-fed beef and wagyu.
