Pennsylvania Woodsman - Bird Brain Is Back: Talking Spring Turkeys with Long Branch Game Calls Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell is joined by Jake Stanisch of Long Branch Turkey Calls for a deep dive into all things spring turkey hunting. From growing up in Pennsylvania and becoming hooked on the sound of a gobble at a young age, Jake shares what fuels his passion for chasing turkeys year after year. The conversation covers scouting, preseason preparation, and how understanding turkey behavior — from early spring through the month of May — can shape success in the woods. They also discuss how pressure, hens, and seasonal timing influence gobbling activity, and why persistence often matters more than perfect strategy.

Beyond tactics, the episode digs into the mindset of a turkey hunter. Jake breaks down the importance of mastering the fundamentals — becoming proficient with a few calls instead of chasing every new product, reading a bird’s “temperature,” and knowing when to call versus when to stay quiet. The guys also explore different hunting styles, from aggressive run-and-gun approaches to patient sit-and-wait tactics, and why neither is right or wrong. At its core, this episode is about time in the woods, learning through experience, and embracing the unpredictability that keeps turkey hunters coming back every spring.

Hound Dog Network - Coon Hunting In The 70s Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

In this episode Steve covers topics that resonate with hunters that have been involved with the sport for several years as well as those that may be new comers to the sport.

After raising the question in last week’s episode, “Who is the best coonhound pup trainer in the world,” Steve reviews several responses posted by members of his online Coon Hunting Conversations group. The segment segues into a discussion of the members of Steve’s local coon club in the 1970’s and recalls the names and the brief bios of 43 of those members! It’s a trip down memory lane for the host and a interesting introduction to a family of coon hunters that some listeners may recall.

Wing & Tail Outdoors - NJ Hunting Reg Issues ft. Brian Melvin Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Most hunters are missing a major opportunity by not questioning the outdated, overly complex regulations governing wildlife in New Jersey. Dive into a candid conversation with Timberlife Outdoors’ Brian Melvin as we lift the curtain on how the state’s rules are doing more harm than good, sacrificing herd health for profits and bureaucracy.You’ll discover how New Jersey’s labyrinth of season tags, permits, and zone restrictions hinder sustainable management, and why the current focus on harvesting more deer or managing bears with flawed strategies is ultimately damaging the resource. We explore specific issues like unlimited antlerless tags in overpopulated areas, the absurdity of multiple season permits, and the dangerous loopholes that allow illegal baiting and poaching to show how regulations often work against hunters and wildlife alike.Why this works:

This episode grabs attention immediately by highlighting the dysfunction in New Jersey’s wildlife regulations and its impact on conservation. It appeals directly to hunters and wildlife enthusiasts seeking change, using specific examples and a compelling call to action—stoking curiosity and motivation. The concise yet provocative summary promises solutions and insights, encouraging listeners to learn how they can be part of the movement for smarter management.
