Missouri Woods & Water - Coyote Series - Hunting With Lights With The Night Crew Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

For the second week of our coyote series, the Missouri Woods & Water podcast has Chris Robinson with the Night Crew on to talk about hunting coyotes utilizing lights.

First, Chris gets into how he got into hunting coyotes and the history of their show and the evolution of the different light types they have used has gone. The Night Crew is very successful using white lights hunting, but Chris talks about how that isn't necessarily what might be best for each hunter and how it really depends on what light color gives each individual hunter the best view of the coyote more than it is what is told to them. He gives great pointers on how to use lights as sort of a curtain for the shooters so the dogs can't see what is going on behind the light. We also talk about how lights are a great tool to use in conjunction with thermals and it's not really an "either or" type of thing. And, as always, we go down a few rabbit holes like Chris' favorite rifle calibers, rounds, etc. This is another great episode showing new night hunters another option that is certainly more affordable than thermals. Thanks for listening!

Wisconsin Sportsman - How to Build Your Turkey Hunting Playbook with Scott Ellis Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with turkey calling extraordinaire and four time Grand National Calling Champion Scott Ellis about building a turkey hunting playbook. Each hunt and each gobbler is different, so it’s important to have a bank of plays to run no matter the scenario. The deeper your playbook is, the greater your chances of being successful on stubborn longbeards. Scott and Josh discuss a few ways to help you build out your playbook and fill more turkey tags this spring.

Scott is a turkey calling champion, author, and host of Hunt Quest. He’s also an accomplished hunter. Cutting his teeth hunting Osceolas in Florida, Scott travels each year chasing Toms across the country and has completed two single season Grand Slams and two Royal Slams.

In this episode, Scott mentions that he wants to be remembered as the guy who shared his knowledge of turkey hunting with the masses and help others be more successful. Toward that end, Scott has produced lots of tools to help you become a better turkey caller including his DVDs, Mouth Call Magic 1 & 2, and his app, Turkey Tech which is available in the App Store and Google Play. The turkey tech app features how-to videos featuring Scott using both friction and mouth calls, live turkey recordings, and a recording feature that allows you to record your own calling and compare that to the calls of wild turkeys.

You can find more from Scott on his Youtube channel, Hunt Quest with Scott Ellis, on Facebook and Instagram, or on his website, https://scottellis-eliteturkeyhuntingandcalling.com.

Show notes

On this episode of the Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Bryan Dunlap from Michigan about strategies for hunting mature whitetails that you won’t hear from most hunters.

Bryan hunts a 200 acre farm in Michigan that only produced 1 1/2 year old whitetail bucks for years. Through food plots, patterning and and a strategy that he refers to as conditioning Bryan has been able to successfully select and harvest 4 1/2 year old and older bucks in a heavily pressured area. This is a long strategy session that is worth the listen for any whitetail hunter. If you hunt pressured areas, enjoy using your hunting land for more than whitetail or just can’t seem to connect with your target buck listen closely as Bryan shares some outside the box strategy for targeting mature whitetails.

Oklahoma Outdoors - The Luckiest Buck In Oklahoma Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

On this weeks episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, returning guest Dwayne Carter talks about a deer season he will never forget, for better or for worse. The season started off strong, with Dwayne getting his daughter on a nice mature buck for her first deer ever, and even tagging a nice buck of his own. Sounds like the start to a great year right?

With one buck in the freezer and another tag in his pocket, Dwayne began searching for a larger buck to help his teams standing in the Bowhunting League competition. With his teammates both getting nice bucks of their own, Dwayne had the most room for an upgrade. After talking to a local farmer, Dwayne got a hot tip about a big typical ten point that had been visiting a wheat field and quickly bagan hunting it. This is where the story takes some unfortunate turns, and Dwayne has more than one incident that did not go his way.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Food Plot Overload Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

On last week’s episode, we began to prep everyone about the reality of food plotting challenges in 2022. The herbicides we typically use may be in short supply and expensive, and fertilizer won’t be much different. Mitch mentioned that planting a summer cover crop as a “green manure,” which will release nutrients mined by plant roots to the soil’s surface when terminated, as being a viable option. This is not a new concept to agriculture, but it’s begun to gain more traction in the food plot community. With that, this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman is going to branch off into a bit more detail about green manure in food plots with Tad Dalgewicz.

Tad is a spokesman for the Whitetail Institute and does seminars throughout the east coast. He has an intensive background in agriculture, and between his part time farming and food plotting history has nearly 30 years of experience. He discusses a new product released by the Whitetail Institute called “Revive” and how this product along with a green manure planting system can be utilized. Tad is one of those guys that when you chat with him, it’s plain to see he has intense passion for food plots and managing soils in a sustainable way. Tad is no stranger to relating his food plotting to quality hunting, and has taken numerous wall-hangers in Pennsylvania. With that passion, be prepared for Tad to go on some tangents about food plotting, property management, hunting strategy and more! You may find some of the information in this episode to be a little over your head if you are new to food plots. But rest assured that the information from Tad’s mind is quality mixed with quantity!

How To Hunt Deer - How Zach Ferenbaugh Uses Maps To Scout For Deer Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Zach Ferenbaugh from The Hunting Public about map scouting for whitetails. Map scouting has become an indispensable tool for serious whitetail hunters. Mapping apps allow you to dissect aerial and topo imagery to locate potential bedding areas, feeding areas, and travel routes the deer prefer. Until you actually put boots on the ground, it’s all just an educated guess. But being an effective map scouter can make you far more efficient when off season scouting or when actively hunting.

Every year, Zach and the rest of the THP crew travel the country chasing deer, turkeys, and other game in new and unique places. Their intense travel schedule means that they rely heavily on map scouting both in and out of season. It also means they have gotten really good at recognizing those terrain and habitat features that deer tend to gravitate to, no matter the region they’re hunting. In this episode, Zach shares some of the things that are consistent when it comes to map scouting no matter where he hunts. The next few episodes of the How to Hunt Deer podcast will explore map scouting different terrain types in greater detail, and how you might approach map scouting a little different depending on where you hunt.

Nomadic Outdoorsman - Hunting Giant Plains Mule Deer Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of the Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Colorado mule deer fanatic Joel Crisman. Joel is a self taught western hunter that is passionate about chasing monster mule deer in Eastern Colorado. Dan and Joel talk about strategies for finding, stalking and

Joel’s outdoor journey started in Iowa fishing for catfish and hunting small game and birds as a kid. After graduating HS he left Iowa to go to college at the University of Southern California on a football scholarship which then led him to play in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joel has always had a fascination with hunting the West for elk and mule deer, but it wasn’t until he moved to Colorado in 2001 that he started chasing his hunting dreams. “Colorado has just about everything that a person could wish for”. He immediately started hunting elk, waterfowl and upland birds. In 2002 he got his first pointing lab named CJ and his first bow. He started hunting the eastern plains of Colorado for mule deer. Joel had 20 seasons of failures and near misses. After learning from his mistakes and investing in better equipment he has now connected with a number of very large mule deer. “After a number of years I honed my skills. I learned how to glass, judge size, stalk etc. I have killed a number of large mule deer. Now I will pick 1 or 2 bucks a year that I chase with my bow”. Joel is also a part time deer/antelope guide for his buddy Jim Hubbard at Eastern Colorado Outdoors. Besides chasing mule deer he also archery hunts for elk, bear and antelope in Colorado.
