Ohio Outdoors - The GOATS of Yotes Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

The white tail season is winding down to the final days, but predator season is ramping up. This week the boys are joined by Micah, Nate, and Andy of the Missouri Woods & Water podcast. These guys are outstanding hunters in general, but have found a special niche in the predator game in Missouri. While spending time with them at the ATA show, the guys decided a coyote hunting 101 discussion might be a good one. These guys are PhD’s in predator hunting, but this introductory course, will get you headed in the right direction.

Around the state, not a lot going on. Seasons are coming to the close and a new year ahead of us. Paul continues to gear up for Turkey season. The NWTF conference is nearing, so he’s practicing his strut. Andrew spent the weekend grinding meat, and being scared shitless by the neighbor hood doe. Special guest, Mo, of the purple coat mafia joined the show (briefly) this week.

The guys will be out at the Great American Outdoor show in Harrisburg on February 6 and 7 in booth 412 spending time with the folks at GoWild. Stop by and say hi!

Have a great week and be safe if you get out in the woods!

Huntavore - Small Game, Big Bounty with Jonah Curtis Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by Jonah Curtis, an impressive gardener and small game aficionado. They unpack a whole range of topics on a number of rabbit trails that eventually lead into squirrels, rabbits. Discussions revolve around a mild taste and flavor, How a few bag limits add up fast, simple easy preparations are sometimes the best, and Nick has the opportunity to try something completely new, raccoon. Jonah gives some advice with cooking a ring tailed bandit. Plenty of delicious tid bits on this episode of Huntavore.

Small game hunting is an absolute must this time of year. Now that the rush and intensity of deer season is over, a walk in the woods with friends or family is a breath of fresh air. And besides, it's time to get payback on those bushytails for acting like that huge buck behind you. Jonah lays out a couple of his favorite ways to use squirrel, fried and shredded. He equates it bluegill with the pan fried, there are a hundred recipes, but fried squirrel done right is tops. The second is braised and shredded. The mild flavor makes it a great companion to dumplings and pot pies. Rabbit is similar and boasts a larger bounty. While Jonah farm raised his, a couple bag limits of rabbits would fill the freezer pretty quick. Great way to diversify the freezer. Nick had the opportunity to bag a large raccoon boar. This has been on his list to take and try and that day has come. The meat looks rich, and is covered in loads of fat. Trimming the fat and glands helps in any off flavors, but Jonah gives a few tips when preparing your raccoon for a tasty treat.

Oklahoma Outdoors - What did you Learn Part 1 Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

As more and more seasons are coming to an end, it's time to reflect back so that we can push forward. Charles Admire joins John on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast this week to look back on their seasons and learn from the situations they found themselves in this year. The guys cover several different topics from private and public land deer hunting to waterfowl. John kicks things off with an important lesson he learned about edge habitat on his quick trip to Nebraska back in September, and Charles reflects on some time he spent on public land in northern Oklahoma.

The guys talked about how far is too far when doing a hang and hunt, and how far is not far enough. They discuss treestand height and shot angles, hunting out of enclosed blinds, and even some waterfowl talk about whether being hidden or having lots of decoys is more important. No matter what you chase, it's important to look back on the experiences you had and learn from them for the future. Whether big bucks are your thing, or chasing coyotes out on the prairie, there is always more to learn!
