Oklahoma Outdoors - Calling Turkeys with A.M. Calls Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

When you meet a man named "Bobcat" you better pay attention to what he has to say. On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is joined by Keith "Bobcat" Williams of A.M. Calls. Keith makes a unique type of turkey call that uses petrified wood in place of your typical slate or glass pot call. Not only is the call a beautiful piece of art, but it makes realistic turkey noises that you have to hear to believe. An added advantage to the petrified wood is that it dries quickly if it gets wet, so they can be a great option for those misty days or spring mornings of heavy dew. Keith and John discuss the whole line of A.M. Calls, including the adjustable striker Keith offers. The striker adjusts to give the calls different sounds, or simply retracted to fit in your pocket or vest easier.

In an unexpected bonus to this episode, Keith also talks about how predator numbers are affecting turkey numbers across the nation. Keith spent several years as a professional trapper (thus the nickname) back in the 80's, and talks about how the decline in fur prices also led to the decline of interest in trappers. Keith doesn't claim to be the best turkey hunter, but throughout the conversation his knowledge of woodsmanship really shines through, and you may just want to pay attention when ol Bobcat has something to say.

[UNCENSORED] - Beavers & Hooters Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, Derek smells like beaver. He’s been busy trapping nuisance beavers on a property for the last few weeks using several 330 Conibear body traps. He talks about how he can’t use snares or a drowning rod and with trapping beaver, you have to work with what you got. Have you seen the” Zombeavers” movie?? Do you know how to check the gender of a beaver … it’s a bit of a sniff test. Why does Derek trap beaver if it’s not just for their pelts? Tune in to learn ever more exciting facts about beavers.

Brad is considering a questionable method of fleshing his whitetail deer hides. We bring up one of the biggest problems of having a big freezer full of wild game meat and debate over how long frozen meat is good for. We tease out some things to do with meat that’s been in there for a while and Derek drops his favorite beaver meat recipes. Brad bumps into a bonehead who broke into our trailer at the office and he recently competed in a PineWood Derby race with his son.

Jacob went fishing, of course, and went after trout and smallmouth bass. Bryaden got out to fish as well, and posed a question about the color of crawfish and water temperature. This is a good time to mention that we have a monster wave of new fishing gear coming to the GoWild store, from soft plastics to crankbaits to line, rods, reels and more, all just in time for spring fishing season, so gear up and get ready! We’re also loading up on all the gear you need for spring turkey hunting, including boots, camo, vests, and more.

If you like [UNCENSORED], please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

[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.

Huntavore - Emperor’s Table Series: Mitchell Shirk Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by host of the Pennsylvania Woodsmen Podcast, Mitchell Shirk. Together the guys unpack the unique hunting traditions of Pennsylvania, and how they also relate to many of the Northern states' big woods traditions. Mitchell also tells about bears and bear hunting, a practice that gets him very excited. And to finish off the discussion, Mitchell lays out his favorite celebration meal, and his dish to pass at the Emperor's Table. Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy this episode of Huntavore.

Mitchell Shirk says that he didn’t find podcasting, but podcasting found him. As host of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast, he brings a unique skill set of hunting big woods for deer and bears with coordinated drives. These drives could be a few friends and a woodlot, to 20+ hunters over several miles. Bringing a team effort to a normally solo style of hunt. Hunting for black bear specifically becomes a huge trophy, for the fact that in a no bait state, and given the range of bears coming into range of shooter is rare. Mitchell tells the story of how his and his grandfather share getting their first bears on the same hunt. Being a novice in the kitchen, Mitchell appreciates using minimal to basic seasonings on wild game, letting the flavor of the animal come through. Mitchell is a regular contributor to the Sportsmen’ Empire network, and you can follow along with him @pennsylvaniawoodsmanpodcast on Instagram.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Food Plot Planting Prescriptions For Any Scenario Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

If you talk with 5 different food plotters, you'll likely hear 5 different recommendations for seed blends. Like the truck we drive or the bow we shoot, many are just as passionate about their food plots. It can be extremely difficult to determine what seed blend fits your hunting property and scenario, when 5 different experts may disagree with each other. The reality is, there are so many variables to consider when choosing a food plot that it's rarely ever "wrong".

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we talk with Mike Lindahl from Domain Outdoors. If you visit Domain's website, you'll notice an abnormal amount of different seed blends. Each blend is designed for a slightly different purpose and scenario. Mike shares his knowledge from getting started developing seed blends, choosing plant varieties that are favored throughout the whitetail's range, and then customizing for different property goals and objectives. Mike shares 3 different property scenarios he is working with and how the food plots look slightly different from farm to farm. Each plan is designed to cater towards Mike's hunting goals and the property's hunting strengths and/or weaknesses. One thing Mike emphasizes is that it's perfectly adequate to tinker with a variety of blends on one farm in order to learn and fine tune for future hunting seasons. If you're planning your food plots for 2023 currently, don't finalize before you listen to this episode!

Southern Ground - From Vegan To Public Land Hunter with Elizabeth Brownell Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

We've got another killer episode on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast this week. We're continuing our nameless mini series, highlighting female hunters that we believe should have a voice in this space. This week we're talking to Elizabeth Brownell, who you may know as @rookie_hunting on Instagram and TikTok.

Elizabeth's story has a lot of twists and turns. What started as trying to find a way to be self-sustainable, led her to veganism and gardening, but ultimately ended with her finding a love for the hunting lifestyle and diving in head-first. Her story takes another turn when she found out about public land and began finding success pretty quickly on her own. We enjoyed our conversation with Elizabeth, and while she may consider herself a rookie, her knowledge is abundant.
