Western Rookie - First Archery Mule Deer Hunt Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan updates the listeners on how his first ever archery mule deer hunt is going.

Dan is midway through an archery mule deer hunt in Utah where he is helping his friend Linnea fill her first ever archery tag on a big mule deer buck. Dan and Linnea met last year when they competed on a van/bus/rv renovation tv show called Gutted. Linnea is a full time van lifer and Dan and his wife Samantha spent their past life renovating RV’s. Linnea has been a die hard flyfisher for a while now but when she found out that Dan is a hunter she immediately started asking for advice and trying to get him to help her fill her first ever tag. Dan and Linnea have found and begun to pattern some mature Utah muleys and are hopeful for what the next few days have in store.

Oklahoma Outdoors - 2022 Nebraska Hunt Breakdown Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

John is back from his early season Nebraka whitetail hunt, and he is ready to break down what he learned this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. It was a quick trip over a long weekend full of car trouble, getting stopped by land owners, learning a heck of a lot about whitetails, and having a blast doing it all. Everyone has heard that whitetail deer are "creatures of edge" and over Labor Day weekend John really got to learn what that meant. The mixture of crop fields, CRP, and timbered creeks gave ample opportunity to see how deer use different terrain features and vegetation types to their advantage. John also learned that not all soybeans are created equal, or have the same appeal to deer.

One of the best surprises of the trip though, was how easy it ended up being to gain access to private land. It definitely helped having a local inside man to speak on John's behalf, but over all most of the people John interacted with were happy to help or at least give some knowledge. John left his house with 110 acres to hunt, and driving home he now has access to over 1,300 acres for future trips! So even though he came home with a giant pot of tag soup, the trip was far from a waste, and the knowledge he gained on this out of state trip will absolutely help him bag more bucks back on his home turf.

Huntavore - Rick Casey, CHARD Products Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick digitally sits down with Rick Casey, CEO of CHARD Products. Rick has a passion for wildgame, growing up in the U.P. of Michigan, Rick has fond memories of bringing in deer to the family garage and working together to create the amazing dishes of his yesteryears, like his grandma’s potato sausage. Rick also goes into how hunting and venison has impacted the design of his products, helping them be more effective for the hunter’s kitchen. If meat means more to you than just a fuel source, then this is your episode. Settle on in for a nostalgia filled episode of Huntavore.

Rick Casey is a problem solver. He sees products and notices changes that can be made to make them better. He has turned this trait into successful businesses. So when Rick had the chance to improve meat processing equipment, he fell back on his upbringing. Holidays in the U.P. , cutting venison with his family. What worked? What did he wish was changed back then? How could I improve the process of bringing wild game to my family’s table? Through this Rick has improved many of his CHARD Products.

https://linktr.ee/chardproducts

In our chat, Rick was so open about how much food means to him. Taking the time to not only sell a product hunters could use and be content with mediocre, Rick had to tinker and think about how he used poorly designed products before, and fix those quirks. Even if it was widen the legs to make it more stable, or using steel gears instead of plastic for a more robust build. These are changes that can help hunters step up their processing game. Ricks idea of making processing and cooking your wildgame is what he called closing the circle. So much effort is given preparing, executing, and finishing the hunt. Why stop there?

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Bowfishing for Dinner?! Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Donovan Remp and Austin Schlenker. These guys are completely ate up with bowfishing, and we have a fantastic B.S. session all about shooting fish. If you've never tried bowfishing, these guys will peak your interest. Not only is it extremely stimulating, as the title states, some of the species they are targeting make for incredible table fare! We start off with the boy's introduction to bowfishing, their evolution of gear accumulation, thoughts and recommendations on how to get started, and of course we lead into strategy and fun stories. The guys go anywhere from walking creeks for carp to running the Potomac River for Snakehead - or as we now reference it, poor man's Walleye! What better way to lead into archery season than shooting your bow?
