Average Conservationist - Pure Protein w/ Nick Alexander May 17, 2023

Show notes

Joining Marcus this week on The Average Conservationist Podcast is Nick Alexander. Nick is the owner of 2% Certified CRKT Perfect Protein. What started off as a way to find a different source of protein, has led Nick to starting his own business and on a mission to educate others on the benefits of not only eating crickets, but the lack of a footprint the operation has on the landscape. This episode is filled with a ton of great insight and knowledge into Nick's business and plan for the future surrounding all the different ways one can consume cricket protein. If you're looking for a high protein, nutrient dense alternative to your normal diet, I highly suggest taking notes on this episode. Nick is on a mission to change the perception behind eating crickets and spreading the word to whoever will listen. To learn more about CRKT, check out crkt.life.

Antler Up - Become a More Efficient Hunter w/ Aaron Hepler May 17, 2023

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 173 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by my good friend Aaron Hepler. Aaron has been on the podcast a few different times already but the topics on today’s episode we haven’t really explored. What we wanted to accomplish in this week's episode was to discuss how we can become more efficient hunters this upcoming year. I think we honestly just scratched the surface and will be completing another episode or episodes to build on this. This is a really easy podcast to listen to and some of my favorites to complete when a good friend is on and we just chat hunting.

Kicking this episode off we dive into my turkey success stories. We discussed how taking what I’ve learned in the turkey woods this spring can help me out come fall for whitetail. Following that we get into what we can do to become a more efficient hunter. From trail cameras, prepping your gear now, shooting your bow and a heck of a lot more. One aspect that we touched upon was scouting and how important it is to have confidence in yourself completing your scouting missions. From speed scouting, creating predetermined tracks on your map, to what sign to look for when setting your cameras for specific times of the year, Aaron covers it in this episode. We end on two different topics being which cameras we have had the most luck with and how persistence has helped us in the woods. 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!

Missouri Woods & Water - Torry Cook of MFK Game Calls May 16, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate and Micah get the honor of talking with Torry Cook, owner of MFK Game calls and avid coyote hunter among other things. First, Nate and Micah talk about some of the turkey numbers in our state at the point in which we recorded. Micah also brings back the Chuck Norris jokes so enjoy that! Then, we talk with Torry about what it's like living around wild coyotes and getting to be so close to them throughout their lives. If you don't know, several years ago Torry came across some tiny coyote pups and took care of them to the point that they are ok with him and his wife's presence. He has since done it again and he is able to learn so much about these animals and record some awesome sounds as well. We then get into hunting summer coyotes and the way Torry attacks them this time of year including what sounds and sequences he uses among many other things. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

Wisconsin Sportsman - The Turkey Season that Almost Didn't Happen May 16, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles about how he recently scored on a double bearded WI gobbler.

Pierce encountered a series of unfortunate events that led to him missing out on a few of the tags he was hoping to have for earlier in the turkey season. Needless to say, by the time Pierce's turkey season rolled around, he was chomping at the bit! After a couple of unsuccessful outings, Pierce made it happen on his first "real" turkey hunt of the year. And the bird was a beaut! 1"+ spurs, 21.5" of total beard length, and a beautiful fan to boot. The guys close out the conversation with a few lessons Pierce learned from this turkey!

[UNCENSORED] - A Trio of Turkey Hunting & Scouting Tales May 15, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, we’re still talking turkey hunting. Brad got out and tried something new to start the hunt. He talks about a few of the choices he made, for better or for worse. He took a chance but it didn’t quite come together.

Jacob, Dan, and Chris hit a WMA. They set their sights on a pretty remote spot and found out there’s a reason why hunters don’t get back into those areas. They did a bunch of scouting and found a few birds but weren’t being stealthy enough and got busted. They left the area knowing where the birds are and will be coming back.

Brayden got out with his uncle and some buddies too. They got a longbeard to shock gobble on the roost but then he went silent. They got some intel on a few other toms and quickly shifted gears. They planned an ambush and got in between several birds. They brought one in but made one critical mistake … find out what it was to avoid it on your next hunt! After that they decided to chase the other group of birds. They made a move and give a hot tip for keeping gobblers interested. Their sneak paid off and they took a shot, but it was a little too far. It was a great hunt nonetheless. What’s better: killing birds or the chase? We also talk about how much better turkeys can see and hear than we can.

If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a rate and review!!

[UNCENSORED] by GoWild kicks off your week with shameful nonsense, inappropriate convictions, and unfiltered tales from the woods, waters and whatevers. [UNCENSORED] is a behind the scenes look at our adventures, failures, wins, embarrassing moments at trade shows, hilarious tales from the warehouse, and a good rant or three about the most recent tyranny from the Dark Lord of the Sith himself.

The show launches every Monday morning. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Oklahoma Outdoors - Cole Cannon of Buckventures May 15, 2023

Show notes

Cole Cannon of Buckventures hops on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast this week. Cole is the chief producer and editor for Buckventures, and he and John have a really cool chat about what it's like to be involved with a major outdoor television show. Before they jump into the ins and outs of the television world, Cole tells a quick story about a really nice buck he was able to take last December with his bow in Kansas. Having picked up the farm after hunting season had already begun, Cole and his boss and host of the show Jeff Danker were left with the cards they had been dealt by the previous land owner. Even with the deck stacked against them, Cole was still able to take a really nice Kansas whitetail buck.

After the story, John and Cole get into the hunting industry a little bit. Cole talks about how an internship led into a full time position, and eventually to him being the producer and editor of a major television show. Cole shares what makes the job so enjoyable and how it really is an amazing opportunity. It's not all fun and games, but the good tends to outweigh the bad. Cole also gives a few tips to anyone who may have a similar dream, and some advice on how to maybe get your foot in the door.
