Oklahoma Outdoors - Oklahoma Mountain Bucks with Surrender Outdoors Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

One thing most people just don't realize about Oklahoma is how diverse it is. Today's episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast highlights one of the lesser known habitats in Oklahoma, the mountains that dominate the South Eastern portion of the state. Michael Harrell grew up in those mountains, and today hosts a successful hunting show called Surrender Outdoors. On this week's episode, Michael and John discuss all the challenges a person faces when trying to hunt the big mature whitetails that call this area home. Many people are drawn to this area for the rugged landscape and large bucks that dwell within it, but Michael assures anyone interested that it is not for the faint of heart!

Michael and John cover a lot of the usual hunting topics, but from a mountain whitetail perspective. It's pretty hard to grow a foodplot on rocks, and with such drastic elevation changes, thermals often trump wind. John and many Oklahomans have the headache of dealing with hogs, but have you ever tried to keep a black bear off your bait pile? This episode is as unique as the terrain it covers, and Michael does a great job of teaching people what he has learned in his many years of hunting this remote and beautiful landscape!

Huntavore - Pressure Cooker of Emotions Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, pressure builds as season openers draw near, and Nick is presented with an opportunity to hunt elk in Montana. The combination of exciting new experiences along with adventure in a brand new environment builds a pressure of anxiousness, nervousness and excitement. Speaking of pressure, One of Nick’s tasks this week is to turn heavily worked venison cuts into easy bags of shredded goodness that can help with midweek meal prep. Seal up those valves, pressure is about to build on this episode of Huntavore.

With 13 days left (at the time of this recording) before a group a hunting buddies and myself head out to Montana. This will be a lot of firsts for me; first hunt out of state, first hunt for elk, first hunt from a truck/backpack. Even with all the preparations and training, and conditioning I feel the pressure of the unknown. It’s an exciting pressure, thrill of adventure, yet the daunting thoughts of what’s next, and what should I expect are ever present. (Side note). After I recorded this, a practice session with the bow helped my anxiety.

Along with returning safely, I’m ok with either outcome; no elk, amazing backpacking trip, or we get elk and bring home glorious meat.

Now to bring things back around to meat. One of Nick’s tasks is to prepare a batch of shredded venison that can be used in the months ahead. Loading up the instapot and seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic will produce a great tasting base shredded veni, for a whole number of dishes. Vac these into 1lb bags and back to the freezer. Because they are cooked and packed with the drippings makes for a quick warm up final add of seasoning toward whatever you want to make.

A dish that I will do in my enameled dutch oven will be Hank’s Veni Barbacoa, recipe here:

Southern Ground - Ground Attack For Big Bucks with Josh Ilderton Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

Josh Illderton from the Untamed joins the SGH podcast this week to talk about his strategy for hunting and killing mature bucks from the ground. Josh mixes a little bit of western strategy into his style of hunting, that he believes directly gives him more opportunity than your typical tree saddle or stand hunter. It'd be hard to argue his resume as well! If you're looking for an out of the box approach, this might be a great episode for you.

DIY Sportsman - Breaking Down new Public Properties with Shane Simpson Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

On today's podcast episode I have Shane Simpson on as a guest. While Shane has hunted a ton of different public hunting properties over the years, in the past two years he's begun a focus to try and learn a new, large piece with the intent to build a library of information and continue to focus on it for years to come. It's somewhat similar to what I've done on a couple properties. So the episode focuses mainly on the multiyear strategy to learn as much as you can each year while also having realistic expectations about what can be achieved each step of the way. We cover summer scouting, spring scouting, trail cameras, talking with other local hunters, focusing on rut vs bed hunting, the fall shift, and more.

We also touch on some of the tracking data collected from over 150 deer recoveries with Shane's dog Callie. Shane and a friend of his had distilled the information down to determine what factors for broadhead and shot style led to the highest chance of recovery along with what some of the key findings were for order of operations with grid searching.

Nomadic Outdoorsman - Preserving Land for the Next Generation Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Skyler Watkins about his plan to secure hunting and fishing property for the future generations.

Skyler started guiding hunts at 14 and has worked in the field ever since. After years in the industry traveling the country hunting and fishing as well as guiding many clients to successful outdoor adventures, Skyler started The Wild U which is an unbiased and non judgmental space for outdoorsmen and women to grow in their knowledge and experience of outdoor activities. He has since started a non profit called 4Progeny, an organization designed to take a stand against anti hunting legislation and governmental agendas by purchasing private land through crowd sourced funding to be held in a non profit organization for use by the public hunting community. Dan and Skyler talk all about how we can each take a small step towards preserving land that will collectively make a huge difference.

How to Hunt Deer - How to Plan Your Hunting Access Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

We’re now coming to the end of August. Food plots are planted, stands are hung, and the cameras are in the field doing their work. Are you forgetting anything? One often overlooked part of deer hunting is access. Many hunters pay little to no attention to how they access their properties or their stands, figuring the quickest way from point A to point B is a straight-line. But bullet proof access, or at least really good access, is one of the most critical things when it comes to upping your odds of taking a mature buck.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Dan Johnson about accessing difficult properties and stand locations. Dan hunts on permission properties in Iowa that are often difficult to access without alerting deer. Add to this that these properties often receive pressure from other hunters taking the easy way in and out, and you quickly realize just how intentional Dan needs to be with his access. Dan covers creative access means like bikes and boats, using terrain to your advantage, and how he plans to stay undetected on a new piece of ground he just gained permission on this year.
