Missouri Woods & Water - Helping Missouri Vets Enjoy the Outdoors Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

Just after celebrating Memorial Day, we have Tony Larson with MO Vets Outdoors on. MO Vets Outdoors is a VFW program formed to help Missouri veterans get out and hunt, fish, and just experience the outdoors in ways they might not have the had the chance to before. They host different events like fishing tournaments, coyote hunts, goose hunts, and many others to help raise money to be able to take some lucky vets on different hunts and trips. Missouri is the first state to start a program like this through the VFW and they have already been able to host over 51 events and have taken about 151 vets out to date. The program is still in its infancy so they are off to a great start. Tony also gets to talk about some of the awesome hunts and trips they have been able to take these Missouri vets on in the past year like turkey hunts, deer hunts, exotic sheep, and some things they are looking to do in the future. We even get him to talk about an awesome deer he harvested last year. Check out the MO Vets Outdoors page on Facebook to learn more about them and how you can help. They also have a raffle page for the organization where they raffle off cool items to help fund their events. Both pages are in the show links for ease or you can search those names on Facebook. Enjoy the show and remember what these men and women sacrifice for our freedoms. They deserve our respect and admiration.

Success is a relative term. Whether you want to fill the freezer, chase a higher caliber of buck, or target one specific buck this may be the episode for you.

DIY Sportsman - Archery Deep Dive with Andy May May 28, 2020

Show notes

On this Podcast, I talk with Andy May about all things archery with a bow hunting focus. Most people know Andy as a meticulous, detail oriented deer hunter, but his mindset works the same with archery. He actually started archery before becoming a bow hunter. We discuss various things on the equipment side of bow hunting, from his arrow building process to releases, peep sights, broadheads, vane configuration, proper stabilization, and bow fit to minimize the amount of pin float that you see at full draw. In addition to the equipment side of archery, we also talk at length about the mental side and the shooting process. Having struggled at times with target panic in the past, Andy explains exactly how he activates his release now based on advice from several professional shooters. Certain circumstances like fast shooting opportunities or high winds can create minor differences in how he activates the release, but everything stems back to a achieving a reliable, high-confidence shot. One thing Andy does that many people could likely benefit from is record data from most of his shooting sessions. That allows him to track trends over time to determine which combinations of gear actually provide the best forgiveness, instead of basing opinions on other reviews or good/bad days at the range.

Land & Legacy - Timber Management in the North Woods May 26, 2020

Show notes

This Spring has been one to remember from chasing turkeys to burning down the roads on consulting trips. Two recent trips took Adam to the hills of Central Pennsylvania and Matt to the lakes of Minnesota. These two northern regions created some important field observations and similar management strategies. When traveling and working in different regions of the country it is important to recall the significance of each area. There are no cookie-cutter situations where all the techniques work the same and the climate conditions are similar. On our trips, we both recognize that woody browse is so incredibly significant to understand and produce, there are various ways to accomplish this. For Adam, timber harvesting was critical and being executed routinely. On the other hand, TSI and shrub plantings were the recommendations for Matt in his region. Without a doubt, principles of habitat management don't change, however, each and every region must be studied and examined to produce the best habitat that is suitable for wildlife. is applicable. We hope you enjoy learning about the management opportunities that each region has even if you are from other portions of the country.

Land & Legacy - Expanding Travel Corridors and Increasing Diversity May 26, 2020

Show notes

Back on the road again, Matt and Frank discuss a recent trip to the heart of deer country in SouthEast Kansas. Working with new landowners is always enjoyable, but these two, a father and son, have an incredible work ethic and desire to improve habitat the right way. They aren't looking for quick fixes, they know the work before themis going to be tough, but rewarding. So we developed a plan for them to use in transforming a simple travel corridor into a deer holding and hunting mecca. This 120 acres of an abandoned homestead is the only cover around for a large area. Two large creek systems flow through the farm north to south that is surrounded by native pastures and dotted agriculture fields. You can see as it lays by examining and aerial that this farm would be attracting deer along this large corridor. However, that is isn't satisfactory, the goal is to maximize each and every acre! So we are going to expand existing corridors, create new ones running east to west with the existing cover andslow deer down as they hit the farm by creating new food resources and superior bedding. I cannot wait to get the success photos back from these two! This farm is ready for an overhaul and these two landowners are just the pair to do. #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Huntavore - Non-Hunters are Noticing May 25, 2020

Show notes

Freelance writer, Sarah Engstrand went on a journey writing an article outside of her normal scope of life. She wrote the article “Hunters See Their Hobby as a Food Source Amid COVID-19 Pandemic” Not a stranger to food and the culinary world, she understands the language of feeding self and others she took the opportunity to talk to several hunters and anglers about their wild food supply. Noticing the shorter the food chain, the less that these food shortages had an effect. Join Nick as he talks to a non-hunter who has noticed the bright side of acquiring your own meat. Show Notes Sarah Engstrand is a Freelance writer, editor, and Public Relations consultant for restaurants in Hong Kong. She covers many subjects in her writing, and lots of exotic locations. She undertook the task of writing about hunters and their wild game harvest. With the quick development of the covid virus pandemic and soon after, a meat shortage, her story took a slight turn to how the shortage had little effect on folks who are self-reliant when it comes to meat. Not only was she able to grasp what we do as hunters and why we do it, but that it doesn’t go without a lot thought and concern for the game we chase. She had understanding of seasons and tags, but was enlightened to how much conservation plays into our lifestyle. She also found it fascinating, as small of a community that hunters and anglers makeup of the whole population, we are semi separated into our own “tribes” of thoughts on what animals to take. None of this is news to those who hunt and fish. However, folks who do not are feeling the effects of these shortages, and are taking notice of that having connection where their food comes from might be something they change in their own lives.
