Oklahoma Outdoors - The Craziest Deer Hunt of My Life Dec 26, 2022

Show notes

We have a doozie this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. John did a little deer hunting over the weekend, and had one of the best and worst encounters of his entire deer hunting career. If you have listened to the podcast much, you might have heard him talk about the 2% buck. A big main frame 10 point ghost he has been after ever since he first laid eyes on the buck in 2018. He refers to the buck as the "2% buck" because every year he gives himself only a 2% chance of killing him. This year, the 7 year old buck shrunk from his previous typical 10 point frame to a 9 point, but still holds as much majestic wonder as ever. For the first time since 2018, John laid eyes on the buck this weekend. Not only did he see the deer, but he had a legit chance to harvest the buck! The events that unfolded next must be heard to be believed, and even then it sounds like a stretch.

That's not the only crazy encounter John had over the weekend though. What seemed like a chip shot on another mature buck turned into a nightmare. John had a buck that had been visiting a feed site for several nights in a row, and finally had the right conditions to go in for the kill. Yet again however, some crazy circumstances led to that deer living another day, and John still holding a tag in his hand with the season quickly winding down.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Cut the Crap (Social Media) and Enjoy Your Hunt Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we have a conversation with Jeremy Dismore and Dimitri Sidorick from the Antler Up podcast. Both Jeremy and Dimitri are PA boys that love the challenges of hunting whitetails. We catch up on their seasons and how Dimitri was able to fill multiple tags in PA and Ohio, and Jeremy's encounters with shooters throughout archery season and doe harvest during firearm season. Throughout the conversation we bring to light how easy it is to add pressure on yourself to punch a tag with social media influencing our lives.

It's nearly impossible to scroll through social media in the fall and not feel as though everyone has filled a tag except you. Each season we all go in with some level of expectation, but is success truly measured by the kill? It can be easy to allow doubt to creep in when the cards are not dealt in your favor. But at the end of the day, embracing the chase along the way is a much better way to enjoy your hunting season. Dimitri and Jeremy have had differences between their hunting seasons, but rest assured they both had a ton of fun all year long!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with good friend and disc golf partner Jason Bromley about Jason’s first season hunting.

Jason and Dan met several years ago at an annual Fourth of July party call The White Trash Succotash Bash. It wasn’t until this year that they connected over guns and frisbees. Jason bough his first bow shortly after and began to practice for what would become an amazing first season of chasing whitetail deer from a saddle with his bow. Dan and Jason relive the hunts leading up to Jason first harvest of an awesome Southwest Missouri buck.

How to Hunt Deer - How to Handle and Prepare Your Venison Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

The holiday season means parties, get togethers, and lots of time with family, friends and good food. There’s no better time to share your bounty from this fall with those close to you. For many, wild game does not make up a normal part of their diet. So how can we prepare our game in such a way that we can confidently share it with those who don’t usually eat wild game?

In this episode, Josh talks with the Huntavore Podcast host Nick Otto. The Huntavore podcast is all about celebrating the hunting and fishing lifestyle, and sharing a passion for natural, wholesome meals and dishes created from wild game. Josh and Nick discuss handling meat after the kill, the best way to age meat if you don’t have a walk in cooler, storing meat longterm, and a few of Nick’s favorite cuts and recipes. Nick is a wealth of knowledge, so grab a pen and a piece of paper, your going to want to take a few notes from this one!

Antler Up - Mountain Buck Success & More w/ Jim D’Agostino 2022 Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 152 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Jim D’Agostino. Jim is a part of our team of Antler Up and we couldn’t wait to have him on the podcast to chat about his recent success during the last weekend of the PA rifle season. Jim shares his story on the mountain buck and what a team effort the whole weekend trip is! This was Jim’s second trip with our friends from Pertnear Outdoors out of NY for this hunt and Jim wanted this year to be a lot different than last year's trip. He took the last half year to get himself in better shape and he mentions how that helped him when it came to pulling the trigger. We discussed his 2022 season takeaways and how that will lead into this spring/summer preparation already.

With Jim wrapping up the 2022 season with this buck, he plans on getting ready for the indoor season this year. We will be doing a future episode where he finds the benefits of keeping yourself in “archery” shape. In the meantime, if you are looking for a new set of arrows or need some bow work done and live in the eastern part of PA then be sure to check out Jim’s Keystone Precision Archery page! With the season beginning to wrap up in PA and other states, let us know what kind of episodes you are interested in hearing and if you had success this past year hit us up and come on the show to share your story!

Best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Ohio Outdoors - Ohio Whitetail Partners with Greg Kazmierski Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s episode, the guys sit down to talk with Greg Kazmierski of Whitetail Partners in Ohio. Greg brings his past years of deer hunting to Ohio to work with the Whitetail Partner consulting service. Greg’s passion for white tails is evident in his work with designing and helping land owners with their hunting properties. Greg is a Michigan native, who gives his insight on how to utilize different land features from swamps to ag fields, and everything in-between. Greg also has the ability to use drone technology for mapping properties and utilizing new technology to take your property to the next level.

Paul was privy to a trip out west in the past week, where he got to do some special workouts with our friend Brayden from GoWild as well as the crew from Mountain Tough. More info to come from Mountain Tough, but as we get closer to the New Year, now is a GREAT time to start thinking about healthy life style choices.

Andrew spent a lot of time the past week cleaning up his deer skull which is now hanging proudly in the living room. The guys are wrapping up the year and gearing up for the holidays. Deer numbers from the extended gun weekend are in, and King Coshocton continues to reign supreme. Not sure if there are really any deer left out there, but congrats to them for continuing to bring deer to the freezers. Some Walleye and Perch hatch numbers are in as well. Central basin yellow perch numbers are still down, but the Western Basin is well above average for Walleye and Perch.
