Huntavore - Harvesting Nature; The Art of Venison Sausage Making Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Adam Berkelmans and Justin Townsend join Nick on the show to discuss the intricacies of sausage making, focusing on the newly released book 'The Art of Venison Sausage Making.' They explore the science behind sausage making, essential tips for novices, and the social aspects of the craft. The conversation also delves into various types of sausages, the importance of casings, and the joy of creating unique flavors. The hosts emphasize that sausage making is not only a culinary skill but also a fun and engaging activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family.

Sausage making is both an art and a science, requiring attention to detail and a willingness to learn. One of the most important aspects is keeping all ingredients cold throughout the process to ensure a quality product. For beginners, using pre-made seasonings can simplify the experience and lead to more consistent results. Beyond the technical side, sausage making can also be a social and enjoyable event—perfect for gatherings or "sausage parties" where friends and family come together to learn and create. Experimenting with different flavors, ingredients, and techniques adds a personal touch, while understanding the role and types of casings is crucial for success. The process does demand time and patience, but it's rewarding. For those just getting started, the referenced book serves as an excellent introduction to the craft of sausage making.

Hound Dog Network - GONE TO THE DOGS WITH MATT WACHTER Jul 30, 2025

Show notes

Within the world of purebred coonhounds there exists seven recognized breeds, each with a national association that affiliates with the major coonhound registry, United Kennel Club. These associations exist not only to steer the future of the individual breeds within the registry, but also as a fraternity, or sorority as the case may be, of individuals devoted to the breed. None is more tightknit than the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association,

Our guest in this episode, Matt Wachter of Gardendale, Ala., is a young man that chose the Black and Tan Breed early on in his coon hunting career and has benefited greatly from the mentors he has gained through his choice of breeds. One such mentor and personal friend is the late Doug Moore of Mt. Olive, Alabama.Moore recently passed at the age of 82.The dog talk at its finest in this episode is full of stories of hunting with Moore and other stalwarts of the Black and Tan breed of Wachter’s experience.

Although fanciers of Black and Tans will no doubt appreciate this episode most, the stories, accounts and benefits of a coon hunter’s life within the confines of a given breed should serve to influence others to choose a similar path.

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Taylor Fleisher to discuss food plots. Taylor has a background in plants and soil, and has always been tinkering with food plot blends. That has motivated him to start his company Tractor Beam Attractants and food plot seed blends. This episode not only discusses food plots, it also highlights chasing down a dream within things of personal interest. Mitch and Taylor bounce around from the beginning of Taylor's food plot journey to the customization of blends he's developed.
