Wisconsin Sportsman - So You Wanna Work in the Hunting Industry? Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talk with Johnny “Utah” Mulligan about his journey working in the outdoor space. John has his hands in a little bit of everything: hand made turkey calls, the Primal Divide show on Carbon TV, freelance photography and videography, you name it, he’s doing it! But things weren’t always so good as John transitioned into the hunting industry full-time. In fact, in 2019, he wasn’t too far from throwing in the towel. With just a few dollars in his checking account, he thought he may have to hang it up in the hunting industry and go back to a regular 9-5. But then, as John says, the phone rang, and it hasn’t stopped ringing since!

Tune in to hear the story of grit and determination that got Johnny where he is today. Topics covered in this episode include John’s pre-outdoor industry career, all the different arenas John’s currently working in, and why time as an undercover narcotics officer might just be the best training field to learn about marketing. Tune in and be inspired to chase what you’re passionate about!

Oklahoma Outdoors - Bowfishing for Giant Alligator Gar Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

This week John and his guest tackle one of the most requested topics of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, Bowfishing! Bowfishing started gaining popularity in the late 80's and early 90's, but really took off in the 2000's. Casey Minshew is well known in the trinity river bowfishing circles, and his specialty is large alligator gar. Casey has been called on and acted as a guide by biologist conducting research, and even had the pleasure of taking Tim Wells on an adventure. Though he is highly regarded and respected, he does little guiding and mostly just enjoys bowfishing and the challenges of finding and hauling in giant gar.

On this episode Casey and John spend a little time talking about the gear you need for bowfishing and how it differs from traditional archery equipment. They then spend a little time talking about the difference between bowfishing at night versus the day, and how to locate and shoot fish at night. Then comes Casey's favorite topic, finding and shooting huge alligator gar. Not only does he talk strategy, he also gives a lot of general information about alligator gar and their behavior and habits. If you have ever been interested in bowfishing, you will definitely want to check out this episode. Every time Casey puts his boat in the water, his goal is to find a 7 foot fish!

Huntavore - Episode 100 Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Man, we made it! Triple Digits, the century mark, a milestone where podcasters find that their little project has now become something greater. On this Episode of Huntavore, Nick celebrates getting to this point, then relieves the amazing weekend up north at Total Archery Challenge; the friends, the fun shots, and the food. Smoked Shot Shells were a surprise hit, so we break down this little meat treat. Nick also hit the foraging gold mine of Golden Oyster Mushrooms. So I invite you, pour a glass, and celebrate with Nick, on this 100th episode of Huntavore.

First, Nick needs to thank a small village for their involvement in Huntavore. His wife and kids, Former co-host Dustin, huge encourager Peggy Kline, Dan Johnson and the entire Sportsman’s Empire, all the amazing guests and listeners. Thank you all.

Total Archery Challenge, Crystal Mountain Michigan was a huge hit. Like any big event, some hiccups were there, but our experience wasn’t tarnished. Shooting two days, 4 courses, hiking plenty of miles and floors, making what at first looked like impossible shots. What a wonderful way to practice long range archery. One of the dishes that we made was Smoked Shot Shells

Here is the link:

Nick also stumbled upon a stump loaded with Golden Oyster Mushrooms. His culinary drive was salivating. First objective was to preserve the bounty. First was sauté and freeze. Second was full dehydration. Incredible how much water is actually in mushrooms, they dried down to almost nothing.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Growing The Sport Of Archery Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with two guys that are doing as much as they can to grow the sport of archery at their local club. Jonathan Henne and Justin Delong took over running archery shoots at the Shartlesville Rod and Gun Club in Berks County Pennsylvania, and have been growing ever since. We discuss how they went from flinging arrows, to being pro-staff shooters at IBO tournaments, to building up their club and supporting archery locally.

In addition, Mitch and Robby discuss the ups and downs of target panic with their guests and how each one of them have combated their shooting dilemma. We discuss training exercises, equipment setups, and shot process fundamentals that helped each of them improve their ability as shooters on target and in the hunting woods. It's a fun episode to get you thinking about summer practice and preparation for archery season this fall!

Nomadic Outdoorsman - Waterway Deer Hunting Access Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with fellow Sportsmen’s Empire podcaster and host of Southern Ground Hunting Parker McDonald about using waterways to access unpressured public land.

Parker grew up in the oil patch of West Texas, cutting his teeth on whitetail hunting the “Texas way”. After high school he moved to the deep south in Alabama, and never looked back. Hunting in the south can be challenging, but Parker has learned that with just a little bit of extra effort, you can see high volumes of success hunting southern whitetails on public land. Parker uses boats, kayaks and other means of water transportation to hunt areas of where he can get away from heavy hunting pressure. Dan and Parker discuss the benefits of hunting these areas as well as the tips, tricks and strategies for scouting and picking out the perfect spot. Parker started using these strategies 8 years ago and now takes the show on the road by putting it into practice on public land in multiple states.

Hunting Gear Podcast - Wild Edge Mobile Hunting System Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by the owner of Wild Edge, Andrew Walter, to discuss their lineup of mobile hunting gear. Andrew kicks off the episode by talking about how Wild Edge is the re-birth of an old product, the Step Ladder, and how gave it a second chance with the help of social media and the internet. The first two year of the company were pretty slow and he was second guessing himself if the company would ever take off. Then, with the help of an investor and a lot of hard work, this American made company started to take off.

Years later after the company started to stabilize, Andrew began to introduce the more products that fit in to the popular saddle hunting community. Multiple saddle hunting platforms, a comfortable saddle, and all of the saddle hunting accessories you could ever need, Andrew has made Wild Edge a true one-stop-shop for all of your mobile hunting needs.
