Pennsylvania Woodsman - Physical Prep for Healthy Hunting (and Living) Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Chris Heskett. Chris is a PA native that specializes in physical fitness and nutrition. Chris is also an avid hunter that strives to fill his freezer every season with quality meat for he and his family. Mitch and Chris discuss how maximizing your physical health has many benefits in the field during the fall season.

Men are extremely guilty of being a "know-it-all" or DIY for just about anything. The reality is with anything in life, we all have strengths and weaknesses. If you're a plumber, you may be able to turn a wrench but it may not make you a mechanic. In Mitch's case, he may have played sports and followed programs in the past, but that doesn't make him an expert in physical fitness. Getting help from a professional like Chris can help anyone reach their physical fitness goals. Mitch and Chris discuss workouts, off season and in season health, eating habits and wild game, and catering a plan that fits with your goals and lifestyle. Be sure to check Chris's podcast the Wild Nutrition Podcast wherever you get your podcasts!

Antler Up - Building Character Through Life Experiences Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 176 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Chad Sylvester of Exodus Outdoor Gear. This was a great conversation with Chad and one that I haven’t had on the podcast before. This isn’t like the last time Chad was on where we dove deep into whitetail strategy. This time around we dive deep into life and how we can be better individuals.

Kicking this episode off, Chad talks about his upbringing and the life experiences he went through by working on his family farm at a young age. We went from this experience, spending time with his grandfather a lot, who helped mold Chad for who he is today. I think a lot of us will share similar stories like Chad. Then we get into the older years when Chad was going through his college recruitment for football and playing at the next level. This opportunity was unique for Chad because he was able to learn and grow from this and you will hear why and how. We also get into building mental toughness, being “present” with our families and taking our health seriously. Again, something totally different than what I have put out on the podcast before and I learned a lot from Chad over the years and he is a successful businessman and great friend. I appreciate Chad for coming on and having this conversation with me. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

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

Whitetail Landscapes - Postseason Burning, Food Plots and Summer Work Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Mark Haslam (Southeast Whitetail) discuss the impacts of fire from this past season. Mark and Jon discuss rain and drought concerns in each of their areas and the impact to food plots. Mark discusses burning in detail, when he burned, how large of an area and what conditions he prefers to burn areas. Mark explains the benefits of burning in the dormant season versus spring, and when he would prefer to burn but the dependence on the land use and prior management and the related impacts of our localized plants.

Mark and Jon discuss the growing season burn and the benefit to wildlife. Mark explains and relates the importance of summer burns to deer health. Jon suggests working the entire landscape to optimize interest and taking soil samples in areas that are managed for deer. Mark explains the importance of perennial food plots in his routine. Mark and Jon discuss oats and their importance in food plot regimes.

Mark explains what he is doing at the end of May and June. How he focuses on longer term nutrition with his food plots and ensuring deer remain consistent on his property. Mark explains the benefits of roads, firebreaks, and scouting. Mark believes disced roadways and trails can be essential to access. Mark and Jon discuss disc harrows and how important they are for land management. Mark and Jon discuss some of the differences between the north and south.

Mark explains his tactics for planning ahead for target deer this year and his plan of action for the season ahead. Mark describes the work involved with trail cameras and how he has stepped back from focusing extremely hard on a specific buck. Mark ends with things you can do right now to prepare for hunting season to have a better overall plan.

Wisconsin Sportsman - Summer Deer Scouting on Public Land w/ Aaron Warbritton Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

It’s almost summer! It’s hot, the woods are thick, and the water is calling your name. But for the die-hard whitetail hunter, the work never stops. It’s time to get boots on the ground for some summer scouting! While fighting ticks, thick vegetation and a three-digit heat index may not sound like a lot of fun, summer scouting can set you up for success this fall, especially if you’re covering unfamiliar ground.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Aaron Warbritton from The Hunting Public about how he approaches summer scouting. Aaron and the rest of the THP crew literally make a living by taking big bucks in limited time on highly pressured public land. And as you’ll learn from this episode, a lot of their success can be attributed to scouting, specifically, summer scouting. Aaron doesn’t put as much stock into some of the typical summer scouting tactics like glassing ag fields. Instead, he prefers to jump right into the thick of it and try to find where the bucks are bedding, or will be bedding come hunting season. Tune in to hear how Aaron uses summer scouting to put him and the rest of the THP crew on big bucks in the fall.

Missouri Woods & Water - Physical Prep For Hunting Out West With Wilderness Athlete Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we take a different look at getting ready for hunting out west. People always talk about what gear to buy, map preparation and study, etc. but one thing that gets lost in the shuffle of getting yourself ready to go out west is the physical aspect of the trip. Western hunting requires a different physical type of exertion and effort, so to help us tackle that topic, Nate and Micah get to talk with Kevin Guillen with Wilderness Athlete about just that. Kevin gets into some things to do to prepare for your western trips, some of their supplements someone can use during that process, and ways to stay ready to go once you are on the mountain. We even talk about some things that don't always have to be healthy in your pack. One thing is for certain, if you were lucky enough to get a tag to hunt out west for the first time, now is the time to start getting your body right and ready. Good luck!

Oklahoma Outdoors - Public Land Whitetails with Levi Mayfield Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

This week the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast is covering one of its most requested topics, Oklahoma public land whitetails. Joining John for this episode is Levi Mayfield, a motivated public land hunter who has cut his teeth in the woods of southeastern Oklahoma. Levi has designed his life around being in the outdoors, whether it's behind a camera or a bow. It is this time in the outdoors that has shaped him into the hunter he is today, and on this episode, he invites the listeners into the passenger seat and along for the ride.

John and Levi start from the 10,000 foot view of finding an area to start with, and eventually work their way down to picking the specific tree. Levi talks about how terrain plays a major role in his setups, and how sign like rubs and scrapes don't play into his setups as much as it does for most people. The guys discuss saddle hunting and being mobile, and the ways Levi approaches hunting public compared to private. If you have ever wanted to learn more about hunting public land whitetails, this is the episode for you.

[UNCENSORED] - Traditional Hunting and American History Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we’ve got a special guest with Chris Powell of Houndsman XP. He talks about how he’s been #messinwithsquatchbot (if you haven’t yet, be sure to check out our very own AI built to help you get the most from our platform). We talk a little bit about our turkey season and Chris mentions he does some traditional flintlock hunting. Several of us are currently reading “The Frontiersman” by Allen W. Eckert, and we compare how tough traditional hunters were and how soft the modern hunter has become. We also get into a few tidbits of classic American history, including a bunch about Daniel Boone and local Kentuckiana lore.

While we’re on the subject of American history, we talked to Chris about hunting dogs. The settlers used dogs for everything from hunting big game to defending against attackers, but these hounds were a little different than the ones we see today. Chris also mentioned how some of the hound breeds were introduced to North America and developed over the decades.

Be sure to check out the Houndsman XP Podcast to learn a little more about hounds and hunting with dogs and how you can share your support for the entire sporting community.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - 2023 PA Spring Gobbler Finale: Lessons Learned Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we welcome back Jason Miller from JMiller Custom Calls. Jason and Mitch swap stories recapping their season. If you've kept up with the recent turkey hunting episodes on the show, you know Mitch's season ended almost as quickly as it started, killing two birds in three hunts. Jason's PA season began on the slow side, but rapidly caught up during the mid season when he punched both his tags in one week. Jason is an experienced hunter punching a PA spring gobbler tag every year since 1994. Learning experiences are within the hunting story and there is plenty to take away and use for yourself from this conversation. Both Mitch and Jason made some mistakes this season, but ultimately the adjustments Jason made led him to some big gobblers! Each bird they harvested this season was called in with Jason's custom mouth calls. Be sure to check out JMiller Custom Calls at the links below, they are killer!
