Pennsylvania Woodsman - Food Plot Prep with Herbicides, Fertilizer, and Clover Management Feb 25, 2022

Show notes

With warmer temperatures approaching, cabin fever is beginning to wear off. Spring will be here before we know it, and too often food plot planters stall to prepare for planting and maintaining their fields. On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch shares detailed information for clover plot management, as well as weed control and fertility concerns everyone may face in 2022. To start, proper clover plot establishment and management is not always well addressed. Due to this, many spring planted clover plots fail due to the lack of context. Soils need to be properly prepared with no established weeds, and most importantly, need to be planted earlier than most would think. In addition, knowing what herbicide you can use on clover and the appropriate times is equally as important for maintaining longevity in established plots. Prepare for note taking!

The forecast of glyphosate herbicide availability in spring is uncertain, and the supply that is available may be significantly more expensive than normal. These challenges may lead to alternative measures. Mitch dives into his plans for how he will address last year’s fall planted plots with significantly less, or no glyphosate applied, and also without using tillage. This will require biological controls that choke out weed competition. Finally, Mitch scratches the surface on how fertility can be built overtime with little to no commercial fertilizer, as 2022 will prove to have abnormally high fertilizer prices. Plan now, and success will come in fall!

Southern Ground - Mountain Food Plots, Topography & Mature Buck Behavior with David Miller Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

This week on Southern Ground Hunting we're talking with David Miller of West Virginia. We don't get the opportunity to talk about land management too often. Public land hunting really doesn't give a hunter the opportunity to do much in terms of land management. However, this week we're changing it up and covering David Miller's strategies for whitetail land management in mountain country.

The southeast is scattered with hills and hollers, with parts of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and North & South Carolina having legitimate mountains. One thing that landowners in these areas continuously talk about is the lack of ability to really cultivate those properties to grow giant whitetails. Whether it's bad soil, lack of sunlight, or just difficult to get planting equipment in there, there's a lot of reasons for this. This results in lack of nutrients and creates very nomadic deer movement. You may get mature bucks passing through, but they're going to be on the move. David tells us about the things he does to ensure that a buck has everything they need year round to live on his properties, and it's easier than you might think!

Show notes

On this episode of the Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Jon Peters and his daughter Gracie about getting future generations involved in outdoor activities. Gracie is a nine year old spitfire of an “outdoorsgirl”. She loves naming both her weapons and the animals that she pursues. Gracie decided a year ago that she wanted to hunt. Although her parents never thought it would last, it has quickly become her number one passion. Gracie has been covering her wall with mounts, her shelves with hog skulls and sharing stories from the field with her friends ever since. She is now a year older, has built two rifles, harvested two deer and a hog. She has been on several well known hunting media platforms and has big plans for the future. Grace hopes to connect with a buck this year, and is looking forward to starting archery. If you are interested in what hunting can mean to future generations, this episode is for you!

DIY Sportsman - Benefits and Pitfalls of Spring Scouting Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett discusses six benefits of spring scouting but also six pitfalls of spring scouting. It's never a bad idea to get out in the woods and cover some ground in early spring before the woods green up. But there is a risk to putting too much stock into certain aspects of what you learn. In years past, Garrett had chosen to hunt areas almost entirely off of intel gained in the off-season, which can be fine during certain times of the year, but could be wasting time in others without paying attention to additional contextual clues.

How To Hunt Deer - How To Find More Shed Antlers Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

Serious whitetail hunters across the nation are hitting the woods in search of shed antlers. While our social media feeds fill up with piles of bone, it can be easy to become discouraged if we don’t have much to show for our efforts. If you want to become a better shed hunter, then this episode is for you!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Dwayne Jones of Shed Season about improving as a shed hunter. Dwayne is almost as passionate about finding shed antlers as he is about hunting the deer that carried them. When looking for sheds, timing, location, and planning are key to level up your shed hunting game. In this episode, the guys discuss how to strike when the time is right to find sheds, the best places to look, must have gear for shed hunting, and how to plan your shed hunt to put the odds in your favor when searching for sheds this winter and spring.

N.F.C. - The Hunting Industry Isn't Doing Enough Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

You're probably on at least one form of social media. Instagram, Facebook, and now Tic Tok receive our attention at least one time of day. Whether you're waiting on a flight to take off, taking a dump, or ignoring your kids, many of us take to scrolling to see what's going on in the world. As hunters and outdoorsmen we often follow some of favorite content providers, influencers, TV Shows, and hunting brands to check out their latest hunting trips, new shows, or new products they're launching. But, have you ever noticed what they're not posting? I'll follow that up with a another question... How often do you see any content about conservation efforts or who to contact about anti-hunting legislation? From my experience, very minimal. In today's world just buying your tags isn't enough anymore. We ALL need to advocate for hunting and the outdoors, especially those with the biggest platforms and have the most "skin in the game". In my opinion this is should be mandatory. There are a lot of people out there working hard, I mean really hard, to protect the natural resource and the right we have to hunt them. Helping spread that message, could go a really long way.

Show notes

This week is an important topic for all outdoor enthusiast in Ohio. Andrew was able to sit down and talk with Dr. Timothy McDermott of The Ohio State University, to discuss ticks in Ohio. Over the past couple decades, the number of species of ticks has increased to the current day known number of 5. Just a few years ago it was 1, then 2, and now 5! Each carries slightly different attributes, disease, and issues for outdoorsmen and women, as well as live stock, wildlife, and more.

Paul just got home from his week long trip to Nashville for the National Wild Turkey Federation conference. He recaps some of his favorite parts of the experience including the calling competitions, trade show, and more. While Paul was deep in the turkey life, Andrew continues to try and figure out how to use a mouth call, and patiently waits to get to the woods for some whitetail shed hunting. Have a great week and enjoy!
