Wisconsin Sportsman - Planning for Out-of-State Turkey Hunting & Whitetail Scouting Trips w Dan Johnson Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

Josh's turkey hunting road trip (dare we call it a Turkey Tour!?) begins in less than two weeks! Having added an Iowa tag to the list, Josh reached out to the host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast Dan Johnson to talk about planning for out of state hunting trips and what to expect for Iowa.

Dan is no stranger to out of state trips. Each year, Dan hunts a handful of states, including some longer trips out west. With his experience, Dan has a pretty dialed in approach to planning and prepping for hunting trips. So Josh picks Dan's brain about making preparations. The guys also discuss what Josh can expect for an Iowa turkey hunt as far as getting on birds and encountering hunting pressure goes. Josh and Dan also get into scouting for deer on Iowa public land. The sheer amount of sign found in Iowa can be tough for a nonresident to decipher when scouting for whitetails. So Dan shares some advice for helping Josh get started planning his potential 2024 or 2025 Iowa deer hunt.

And since both guys are dads, the conversation eventually devolves into ranting about kids, the woes of working from home during spring break, and Dan's new children's book, "The Volcano Dad." Enjoy!

[UNCENSORED] - A Little Spring Fishing and a Big Camo vs Solid Color Clothing Debate Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Jacob and Derek start the show by talking about the early spring temperature swings and how they make for some tricky fishing. Derek was fishing deep and slow trying to dig up some largemouths. He tried several different baits– find out which ones got some strikes. Jacob mentions the biggest factors that affect bass action this time of year. Dan Johnson says he does a little fishing as well and visits the Mississippi River pools every spring. He also drops his favorite fish species and how he likes to fish for them. The guys come to an agreement about the hardest-fighting fish.

We also have a candid conversation about the rising influence of solid color hunting apparel products: Is there a shift away from camouflage patterns? We ask some tough questions that really get into the nuts and bolts of what it takes to be a successful whitetail deer hunter and suggest that your camo pattern may not be as important as you might think. Dan mentions what he feels is the biggest thing to do to kill more deer. We banter over the other factors such as noise and light reflection that might be more important in hunting apparel. We discuss other important considerations for choosing hunting clothing such as durability and comfort and talk about why proper base layers mean all the difference. We mention a few brands we like and a few we don’t. We also mention how and when camo became associated with hunting.

[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.

Oklahoma Outdoors - A Serious Legislation Conversation Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

There are several important and pressing issues concerning hunting and wildlife in Oklahoma right now, and on this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, we try to lay out exactly what those concerns are. Michael Arnette is one of many who has reached out to John in the last few weeks, and he does a great job of laying out some of the proposed legislation and how it might affect the sportsmen and women of Oklahoma and beyond. If you have been on social media at all recently, you have probably seen articles about airbows, velvet seasons, trail camera bans, and much much more.

Michael and John do their best to weed through some of the proposed bills, and what it could mean for both hunters and wildlife. The guys talk about how other states have handled some of these topics, and how it has affected them. Some of what is said in this episode is certainly opinion, but much of it is factual and taken directly from bills that are currently in circulation in the state legislature. It is growing more important every day for people to get involved with what happens in politics, no matter what side of the isle you fall on. If the people who love to hunt and fish don't stand up for their rights, there are not many others to do it for them!

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Mature Buck Hunting Frame of Mind Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are proud to announce a new partnership with Radix Hunting! Our guest is none other than the founder and owner of Radix, Clifford Martin. Clifford is originally from Southeastern Pennsylvania, but has been blessed with the opportunity to move to Iowa and live out his dream. In the time he has spent hunting the midwest, he has been able to hone in and consistently connect with big mature whitetails. During that time, he has learned how to fine tune his approach and mindset when pursuing top caliber bucks. Even with all his success, you still won't find a more humble individual who continually says he is a student of the whitetail, learning almost daily.

We gain some background knowledge of Clifford and harass him a little on how he convinced his wife to move to the whitetail capital of the world! Then we transition into his stewardship of the whitetail, learning their behavior and some of the consistencies he gravitates towards. We address the question, "what does it look like to be an aggressive hunter?" and how his patience has improved throughout his hunting career. Last, we dive into his most valued tool - trail cameras. Clifford mentions multiple times that he feels "cameras don't lie" and his need for quality video to collect as much information as possible. Quality was a driving factor in producing Radix trail cameras, check them out for yourself!
