Southern Ground - Top 6 Mistakes We've Made That Cost Us Big Bucks Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

We're humbling ourselves this week on the Southern Ground Hunting Podcast by talking about the biggest mistakes we've made that ultimately cost us killing big bucks. The hope is that you'll be able to listen and learn from our heartbreak, and hopefully not find yourself in that position. Truthfully, the best learning opportunities are usually the ones that cost us something. Things discussed:

- Letting your girlfriend/wife kill a big buck on their first hunt

- Losing focus

- Target panic

- Bad access to your spot

- Not being comfortable with your equipment

Hunting Gear Podcast - Good Gear vs. Great Gear Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with good friend Tim Kent about the difference between good hunting gear and great hunting gear. Tim is not only a serious hunter, but has been working in the hunting industry for several years and has had the opportunity to test a variety of hunting products in the shop and in the field. The conversation revolves around what the main differences are between products that are just "good enough" verses superior products with added functionality. Sometimes the differences can be great and sometimes the difference can be as objective as personal preference. The guys discuss if price reflects quality, where a product is manufactured, and specific products like bows, boots, treestands, and archery accessories. This is a great BS session with a couple serious hunters

Show notes

This week on the Ohio Outdoors podcast, the guys are ready to Send It with the guys down at GoWild!! Leading up to the first ever Send it Slam, Brayden from GoWild joins us to talk about the event. Lots of good information about the event as well as what to expect. Sure to be a good time!

The meat of todays show comes from a sit down the guys had with Wes Adams from SciotoMade in Columbus Ohio. Wes is an Ohio native that started a store where he designs and produces shirts, hats, wallets, bags, and other unique items. Much of the inspiration behind his products comes from his love of fly fishing and the outdoors. Wes is an avid conservationist and devotes a lot of his time to helping clean up rivers and other outdoor areas.

Your hosts have been busy breaking arrows and trying to figure out how archery works prior to the Send it Slam and Archery Hike. There’s not much more to say about that.

Check out timetogowild.com to find out more about Send it Slam on July 9th!

Justin gives some good examples of how his company is using geospatial data to help a number of different companies and nonprofits alike to further their mission along with explaining the difference between what Farther Afield does and how someone like goHUNT is using their mapping system.

Show notes

In this podcast Tim Russell (Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services) and Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discuss the importance of understory vegetation management. Tim details a recent client visit and understory strategy he employs to help improve deer use.

Tim and Jon discuss the process of evaluating the understory and the best perspective to allow the correct amount of light to the forest floor to improve cover and food. Tim discusses his method to evaluate the density of trees and the proper technique to ensure that landowners understand how to look past the number of trees per acre. Jon provides some suggestive basal area measurements that may be helpful for significant understory improvement and regeneration. Tim explains the concerns he dealt with on a client visit and how the client is shifting his focus to improving overstory and understory plants.

Tim explains what to do first before cutting any trees. Both contributors discuss plant use and replacement and the benefits to deer or other animals. Tim discusses the impact of legacy effects from deer and how that can alter the resulting forest. Jon discusses strategy to increase understory value for deer. Tim explains a concept called timber pimping and how not to be taken advantage by someone that may want to devalue your timber.

Marcus is a lifelong New Mexico resident that is obsessed with mule deer hunting. Marcus has been chasing animals in “the land of enchantment” since he was 8 years old.

Wisconsin Sportsman - Getting The Youth Outdoors with Max Kulick Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

Summer is a great time to get kids outdoors. The weather is nice, there’s a ton of opportunities, and you don’t have the pressure that comes with tagging a big buck or longbeard. Getting your kids outdoors is extremely rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges. Often times, it will seem like a sacrifice to do all the work that comes with bringing kids along. But the investment is well worth it! And with a little planning, patience, and creativity, you can make an investment in them that will pay dividends far into the future.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast, Josh talks with Max Kulick, an avid outdoorsman who is truly committed to getting his kids outside. Max is an opportunistic hunter, fisherman, forager, and gardener, taking advantage of all that the seasons of Wisconsin allow. He and his wife do a great job of getting their kiddos outside and fostering their connection to the earth and their food. In this episode, the guys talk deer and turkey hunting, plans for the upcoming season, and of course, all that goes into sharing our outdoor heritage with the next generation. Enjoy!

Oklahoma Outdoors - Affordable Once In A Lifetime Hunts Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Eric Bonicelli had never done any western big game hunting before he moved to New Mexico. Once he got settled in, he realized he had landed in a sportsman's paradise and immediately began taking advantage of it. He drew a once in a lifetime oryx tag, a barbary sheep tag, an elk tag in one of the state's most coveted units, and several deer tags. New Mexico is one of the few states that does not have a preference point system, and Eric says that is exactly why hunters should be looking into hunting in New Mexico. Sure you may go your entire life without drawing an elk tag in the famous Gila Mountains, but you might also draw it the very first time you try!

If you think this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast is only about a single state though, you are greatly mistaken. Eric has also found some amazing international hunts that are much more affordable than most people think. And he throws in some tips and things to watch out for that can raise the price if you aren't careful. He has hunted rivers flowing with ducks in Nicaragua, and bruised his shoulder shooting doves in Argentina, both of which cost him less than a guided midwestern whitetail hunt! If you have a once and a lifetime type hunt on your bucket list, this episode might just help you make that hunt become a reality.
