DIY Sportsman - North Dakota Roundtable Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

Today's episode was recorded in North Dakota during our public land trip. Like I had mentioned on some earlier podcasts, Shane Simpson was of course up there again. Plus some of the Tethrd crew tagged along. And, the Ranch Fairy showed up. So we essentially got together and did a little round table with Greg Godfrey, Jared Shaffer, Carl Kossuth, Shane, Troy aka Ranch Fairy, Dylan Hazen, who was filming for Tethrd, as well as myself. We talked about our experience thus far, broadhead and arrow setups along with some ad-hoc broadhead testing on a deer carcass, cyber scouting, North Dakota laws, and lessons learned on the trip. We recorded outside, so there is a little bit of wind noise, but not too bad. A tornado siren started about 40 minutes in, so we apologize for that, but it was a little out of our control.

Ohio Huntsman - Bands, Tags, & Collars Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

With waterfowl seasons beginning to open up across Ohio; we found it timely to discuss bird bands on this week's episode. We discuss the idea of shooting a banded bird as being a trophy, but harvesting a collared or tagged big game species is thought to be much less desirable. We also discuss a few reasons as to why there is a significant portion of the population that refuses to report the harvest of banded birds. Lastly, we discuss tagged/collared big game animals and how them being tagged can often diminish their "wildness" because you as the hunter are no longer the first human to lay hands on that animal.

Land & Legacy - What Happened to the Quality Bucks? Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

On this podcast, you will hear our take on a listener question. This question falls right in line with some of the recent podcasts we are having regarding herd management. This time it is on a bigger scale. We look beyond a single property and involve regions and states. During the podcast, we talk about a real life example form Southern Iowa. This podcast follower has seen a decrease in the number and quality of bucks over the course of 8 years, despite completing some pretty serious land and herd management during this time. So, we break down in an honest review of what this landowner could be experiencing. This neighborhood is seeing crazy lease values and outfitting. The number of mature bucks being harvested annually is only increasing. The targets are being shot while does are left to increase. If you want to hear the answer to this question on a deeper level, then follow along on the podcast. Take a dive down to the complexities of managing wild free ranging whitetails. #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Southern Ground Hunting - Missed Mature Buck Opportunity In Kentucky & 2020 Season Goals Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Thanks for tuning in! We're excited that deer season is now opening up in states all over the country. Last week, Parker met up with some friends at the Kentucky deer camp talking about how to get on deer in the bluegrass state. A couple of days later, he had an encounter with what would have been the largest deer he's ever had an opportunity at. In this episode, Parker and Drew briefly discuss this encounter, what went wrong, and ultimately how the heartbreaking situation played out. After the short recap, the guys discuss some of the goals they have set for themselves this season, and to tickle the fancy of you tactics guys, they talk about some of the ways they plan to accomplish those goals. Topics include: setting up to hunt mature bucks instead of getting distracted by the high concentration of young buck sign, developing a system for making yourself effective in the woods on your setup, finding the common denominator areas that have produced success in the past, & having the patience to know when the time is right to go in for the kill. Make sure you're subscribed to the Southern Ground Hunting YouTube channel, as well as the Tethrd Nation channel to watch the entire Kentucky hunt unfold, and probably have your heart broken at Parker's encounter.
