Huntavore - Jonah Curtis, Hunt to Eat, Live to Grow Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Nick called up Jonah Curtis; a local homesteader, Hunt to Eat Ambassador, and care-taker of an extensive garden. Jonah gives a look into how through years of working the land, he has been able to pull a large harvest and be able to preserve harvest year round. He gives some tips for starting a garden, and make it productive. We also dive into his new partnership with Hunt to Eat and how his values align with this company seamlessly. This was a fun episode to record and surely some great info to gleaned. Jonah holds quite a few different jobs, including working his homestead down in southern Michigan. His focus is to be able to grow enough produce and preserve the harvest for the following year. I know in my gardening experience, this was the missing step. Jonah uses several techniques; pressure canning, waterbath canning, freezing, and the old art of having a root cellar. It seems like a huge undertaking but he has made this his lifestyle. After many years of working his plots and getting familiar with his equipment, and being joined by the members of his extended family, they are able to put up a whole years worth of produce for later. I think of it like hunters who kill a deer, and gain several months of venison all to once, the task of preserving it takes effort up front, but in the long run makes the harvest worth while. Jonah also has joined the Hunt to Eat team as a brand ambassador. He and Hunt to Eat have very similar values and pursuits that make this an awesome partnership. Tips from Jonah on getting a garden started Plan now, before it’s time to plant and before snow falls, clear a plot, throw on a cover crop, get soil samples Start small. A 10x10 plot or even a couple raised beds can provide a sizable bounty and not overwhelm you. “10 minutes of weeding a day, save you 6 hours on Sunday” Understand, some plants may not work for you, and others work better. Note what you like, and what doesn’t work to help with planning next years crops Get others involved. Include family and friends to make the labor easier and the bounty sweeter Don’t plant Horse Radish in your garden, but rather in your neighbor’s ditch. Wait, maybe don’t do that.

Transition Wild - Q&A Elk Hunting Scenarios with Ben Guttormson Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my friend Ben Guttormson for another badass elk hunting podcast. What’s cool about this episode is that it’s positioned as a question and answer format of various hunting situational and preparation scenarios, where Ben explains what he would do and the reasons why. During our discussion of preparation, I have him rank five categories of scouting, fitness, shooting, gear, and calling and how he prioritizes them in order of most important to least important. I also have him break down what a week long hunt would look like day by day if he were dropped into a unit blind without any prior knowledge of the area. We round out the episode with “in the field” type scenarios where he breaks down certain scenarios of calling and how he would set up to get within bow range of elk, given a number of circumstances. We also cover strategies for locating elk in various weather and early season conditions when the rut is not in full swing yet. If you are hunting elk tin the west this fall, this episode is loaded with all sorts of valuable knowledge and information that will help you become more successful on the mountain.

N.F.C. - Opening Day Success with Ted Bright Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

With one month to prepare for an out of state hunt and a little help from his social network, Ted Bright hit the digital scouting hard to look for public ground to hunt in Nebraska. As he was planning for the hunt he realized that using water to access where thought the deer would be lives he decided to bring his kayak to the party. After a 10 hour drive, some boots on the ground scouting, and a full trial run to do some glassing, he was able to locate the deer he wanted to hunt opening morning. At 3:00 a.m. he hopped in his kayak for a 6 mile float, and then a 2.5 mile hike, to find the perfect location to hang his saddle. With little movement that morning, he decided to get down and find a new location for the evening hunt. With light fading fast, a good buck came in from behind him offering Ted a 14 yard shot.
