Show notes

The state of Kentucky is evaluating whether or not cellular trail cameras should be allowed for use on Kentucky public lands. On this episode of Hunt Detail, Jacob takes a hard stance against a cell cam ban...and then Jacob takes a hard stance for a cell cam ban. It's a heated and divisive topic. In the past few years, the prices of cellular trail cams and their respective data plans have dropped significantly and made it a more available tool for more and more hunters to get the instant intel that this technology provides.

What do you think about a cell cam ban in your home state? Listen to Jacob approach both sides and get a sense of where you stand on this issue.

How to Hunt Deer - Does Your Hunting Property Need A Tune Up? Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

Deer season is winding down for many if not most, and it's time to sit back and reflect on our season. Did you get the buck you were after? Did you see the deer numbers you thought you should be seeing? Did the deer use your property in predictable ways? Were you able to access your hunting locations without bumping deer? All of these questions may reveal that our season could have been better from a deer hunting perspective. So what if you're unhappy with how your season went? If that's you, it just might be time for a hunting property tune-up.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Sam Bilhorn of Whitetail Partners about evaluating your hunting property and when it might be time to call in a consultant. Sam has year of experience with on-site whitetail hunting property consultation and provides top-tier habitat and hunting plans to his clients. Over the years, Sam has learned what works to attract and hold deer, and to influence their movement across your hunting property. Whether you just bought a new property, lease ground that you can manipulate, or have hunted the same 40 acres for decades, Sam can help take your deer hunting to the next level. Tune in to hear how Sam evaluates his hunting season, how he scouts his property once the season is over, and how he designs hunting properties to provide excellent hunting for his clients.

No Lowballers - Spy History, Firearms, Gadgets & The International Spy Museum Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about spies! We open up with Allen going over the International Spy Museum. He talks about technology that we use today in our everyday life that at one point was used by spies in military aspects. One of those examples is Bluetooth, which was an early spy communication and also used as a torpedo guidance system that we now use for things like talking on our phones in our cars or to connect your smartwatch to your phone. Logan dives into just how crazy the secrecy is within the espionage world and gives an incredible example of the DEER gun, which most intelligence agencies still deny its existence. Tune into this episode brought to you by GunBroker.com, to hear all about espionage and the world of spies!

We dive into the history of Wild Bill Donovan and how he’s linked to Ian Fleming, the author of James Bond novels. Ian Fleming was asked by Bill Donovan to put together a memo that then became the charter document for the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. There’s a rumor that as a thank you for the memo, Ian Fleming was gifted a Colt Police Positive that was chrome plated and engraved “For Special Services” by Bill Donovan but that gun has yet to be seen!

Closing out we go over our favorite bits of espionage history. The group has some interesting favorites, from using a civilian to take out your target, to trying to assassinate Fidel Castro by poisoning his beard. We also go over if everyone could only have one piece of spy gear, what would they choose to have? Dan tells us about being disappointed that his first ever pair of dress shoes didn’t have a hidden compartment. If you could get your hands on one piece of spy gear what would you choose?

Huntavore - BHA Armed Forces Initiative, with Justin Spruiell Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by Justin Spruiell of the Armed Forces Initiative of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Justin is a volunteer who dedicates his time toward his passion for the outdoors and being able to explore the amazing landscapes of our public lands. Not only are the lands important but Justin shares my passion for wild harvests becoming amazing table fare, He gives details on an incredible dish for ducks. One heck of a great conversation on this episode of Huntavore.

So often in the Armed Forces, we hear about the strain on mental health. The obvious being combat and active fighting, yet the isolation and distance from loved ones can be daunting. I will be the first to acknowledge that I have no understanding of this. My guest Justin Spruiell does. He served as military police in several places, one in particular was Germany, where through a traumatic event, he found a way to get off base and fish some of the amazing rivers in Europe. Fast forward to now he works for BHA/AFI. Connecting veterans and active members with the outdoors in a recreational, mission oriented atmosphere. BHA has seen how this initiative has grown so quickly that the Armed Forces will soon have their own Chapter here in 2024. Being familiar in fatigues, and with an apron, Justin flexes his small game/waterfowl muscles on a Korean style duck dish sure to get any waterfowler excited.

Antler Up - Create Some Discipline w/ Dan Johnson Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 206 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Dan Johnson! Dan is the founder of the Sportmen’s Empire that hosts not only the Antler Up Podcast but over 20 awesome podcasts. Dan is also the owner of Full Sneak Gear which is a lifestyle clothing brand geared towards us hunters. The other aspect of Dan that I find extremely relatable is that he is a family man and a die hard bowhunter. So, I wanted to have Dan on the show to discuss some current happenings in his life but also to hear his take on what it means and takes to be successful. Tune in and enjoy this episode with the one and only Dan Johnson.

We led things off by talking about the frustration Dan and I have with that dang Elf we have to put out nightly before Christmas. I am sure some of you will share in this laugh that we had. Following this, Dan gets into it for what he believes has helped him be successful at hunting, running multiple businesses and winning the home life! The key aspect of all three is discipline. I couldn’t agree more with this statement, so no better way to kick off the first 2024 podcast than to hear how discipline can help you succeed in the new year! Stay safe in the woods and enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Rough Deer Season? Shoot Coyotes! Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch catches up with Nate Thomas from the Missouri Woods and Water Podcast, also on Sportsmen's Empire. The two catch up over deer season, and Nate shares that 2023 deer season was a little tougher than years past. While he had success in many ways, from taking kids hunting and his brother-in-law harvesting one of the target bucks, things just did not align for Nate's tag to get filled. A change in scenery is just what the doctor ordered - coyote hunting!

Nate, Micah, and Andy have really invested time and money into the tools of the trade to coyote hunt throughout the calendar year. The hunt dynamic compared to deer hunting is distinctly different in Nate's eyes, which is why he enjoys it so much. We discuss tools of the trade: what are essential pieces of equipment, and what are the things that after using for a season you learned were a waste of money? Nate shares a few exciting hunting experiences with us as well, which is a perfect way to begin the winter portion of predator hunting!
