Antler Up - Lighting the Fire w/ Hayden Ferrari Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 161 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Tennessee native Hayden Ferrari. This episode was a fun discussion to have with Hayden because I was able to hear the passion and drive that Hayden has to become a more well rounded hunter. Although growing up in TN, Hayden has a bunch of ties to PA!

To start this episode off we chat about the relationship between bowhunting and sports and how that has helped the two of us when it comes to doing whatever it takes to be a better hunter, archer and what it takes to tackle adversity. We follow that up with what are some key attributes that have elevated his skills as a hunter. From making adjustments from past seasons, becoming more proficient in reading maps, scouting and getting outside his comfort zone.

Hayden had a fun and successful hunting season in 2022. He breaks down his strategy that led to his success as well as his buck story. One new thing Hayden tried this past season was going out of state for a whitetail hunt. He shares his experience of scouting before the season in KS, to not pulling that tag and then ultimately just doing an over the counter MO hunt. We wrap this episode up talking about some of Haydens favorite gear that he enjoyed using this past season! Enjoy this fun episode!

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

Wisconsin Sportsman - A Wild Turkey Conservation Success Story w/ Taylor Finger Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

While turkey hunters in many states ring their hands about the future of the wild turkey in their states, Wisconsin turkey hunters have a lot to be thankful for. Once extirpated from Wisconsin, the wild turkey is an incredible testament to the impact sound conservation practices and volunteer organizations like the National Wild Turkey Federation can have for the game animals we love. As a turkey hunter, it's important to understand where we are, where we cam from, and where we're going in the future if we want to pass down the pursuits we love so much to the next generation.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Taylor Finger, Wisconsin's Game Bird Ecologist, about wild turkey conservation in Wisconsin. The guys discuss the history of the wild turkey in Wisconsin, conservation efforts that have led to the restoration of the wild turkey in Wisconsin, and why Wisconsin is a premier turkey state. Enjoy!

Oklahoma Outdoors - What did you learn Part 3 Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

The third and final installment of the "what did you learn" series drops this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. John is joined by Josh Garroutte to once again break down their 2022 hunting seasons and figure out what they can learn to make their future hunts better. This was a great episode to have Josh on, as he did a lot of learning during his 2022 deer season. A typical November finds Josh chasing whitetails on the ground in states like Kansas or Iowa, but since he didn't draw a tag in either of those states, he spent the entire month right here in Oklahoma chasing bucks in the mountains.

After growing accustomed to a more spot and stalk form of hunting over the last few years, 2022 had Josh going back to the basics and more traditional styles of whitetail hunting. He spent time studying scrapes and licking branches, diving deep into herd health with protein feeds and minerals, and working on his shooting form mid season. John also threw in a few lessons of his own, like why you SHOULD NOT hunt your best spot, why you should hunt for yourself, and how he found himself once again learning that trail cameras don't always tell the whole story.

[UNCENSORED] - Frozen Locks and the First Weekend at GAOS Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s [UNCENSORED] podcast by GoWild, the gang recaps their first weekend at the Great American Outdoor Show. After leaving the show, Brad feels naked without one and Brayden says he needs one … find out what “it” is! The team did some great sales at GAOS and enjoyed meeting everyone and shared the story of one very special member reunion. Brad recounts their legendary, two-hour, all-stops-pulled-out, iced-up trailer lock saga that will have you second-guessing your own craziest methods of dealing with a frozen lock.

Back at GoWild HQ, Derek wonders if the hype for the “Yellowstone” tv series has boosted interest in beaver and Jacob advocates that Charles Wesley Godwin puts on a killer concert. The guys are already starting to think about spring turkey hunting season and talk about their plans. The conversation then turns toward some fishing chatter as the guys are equally excited to get back on the water. Brad also hints at the next company he’s building based on the China Balloon.

We haven’t ever asked you for much, but now we’d like a little help: Please rate this show and leave us a review with some commentary about what you enjoy most about the [UNCENSORED] podcast. Thanks for your support!

[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.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Soil Sampling and Successful Food Plots Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

Regardless of the task at hand, preparation and planning is a gateway for success. Too often in the world of food plots folks try to put the cart before the horse. Seed blends, food plot shape, planting methods, herbicides, all of these things are important but need to be addressed after the basics. One of the things that drives Mitch crazy is the amount of bad and/or misinterpreted information in the food plot world. Many food plotters have a lack of understanding as it relates to fertility and properly preparing soil for successful plant growth. Before you go purchase the next miracle juice or throw-and-grow mix, do the one thing that is cheap and yet provides the most information for getting started: TAKE A SOIL SAMPLE!

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch invites his boss Eric Rosenbaum to walk us through the basics in food plot planning. Eric is the owner and Senior Agronomist of Rosetree Consulting, a private agronomic consulting company that works with farms all throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and partly in Maryland and New Jersey. A large part of the job entails making cost effective decisions with growers that maximize plant yield and profitability. Nearly all of this begins with proper soil preparation! Eric walks us through the basics of how to pull a soil test, where to send it, how to interpret results, how to address deficiencies in a cost effective but also efficient way (especially with minimal equipment), and more. Lack of planning typically yields poor food plot results. Pull your samples now, and plan ahead to achieve maximum plant quantity and quality. Don't overlook the basics!
