Sportsmen's Nation - For The Die-hard Sportsman

This week we discuss the multiple uses of our public lands.  We foreshadowed this topic in a previous episode when we discussed that the pandemic would increase outdoor activities and the use of our public lands.  This has certainly happened and with the opening of various hunting seasons across the state it has now started to cause some tensions between people hunting and people doing other outdoor activities that tend to be bad for a hunting experience.  We discuss what we think are some possible solutions to the issue and also how we would handle some of these conflicts that have been occurring between hunters and non-hunters.     Ohio Huntsman is Powered by Simplecast Learn more about your ad choices.

Nate & Micah get to sit down with Ty Easley of Heartland Bowhunter to talk about hunting mature whitetail, specifically a buck Ty was able to take down this year nicknamed "Dreamer."  Ty discusses how he learns with deer as they grow to figure out personalities, tendencies, and likes and dislikes to successfully hunt them as they become mature.  He also talks about how he uses trail cams, weather patterns when deer show up, and wind conditions at the time of sightings to help him figure out the right conditions for effective hunts.     Missouri Woods & Water is Powered by Simplecast Learn more about your ad choices.

Following up last week's podcast when we dove deep into habitat and whitetail deer movements during the rut. This week, we review a bow hunt that eventually leads to a mature buck stepping into range for Adam and Chad.  As we noticed consistent daylight movement on a specific ridge on the Keith farm, we moved in mid-day to hang a new treestand to take advantage of the upcoming winds. This stand was positioned just off the edge of thick cover overlooking a few fresh scrapes. On the first sit, the buck they went in after, appeared with 5 does. The setup and plan were becoming a reality. You will have to find out what happened next by listening to the podcast!  This story is a culmination of years of habitat work, a three history with a specific buck, a lifetime of learning a property, and the predictability of November rut behavior! We hope you enjoy the podcast.  #ForLoveoftheLand     Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Advertising Inqui

Deadly Dozen from Real World Wildlife Products, a fall planted plot blend containing twelve different seed types, has become the favorite staple every fall for Dave and JP.  This year they decided to do their own experiment with the mix by planting two plots, side by side at the front end, and the back end of the recommended planting window.   While the experiment won't be complete until the bell tolls on the 2020 season, they've noticed some interesting behavior trends from the local wildlife in relation to these dueling plots, and have managed to capitalize on some of those patterns.     Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast Learn more about your ad choices.
