This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are joined once again by Jason Goe from Final Stand YouTube channel. Previously Jason discussed hunting Sika deer in Maryland, this week we unpack the rest of Jason's successful fall of 2023. Jason was able to harvest a mountain whitetail with a bow, a fall gobbler, and his first Pennsylvania black bear. In addition to PA and MD Sika deer, he tagged two whitetail bucks with a bow in MD during the archery season. Talk about a season to remember! We breakdown the timeline and story behind each of these hunts. Throughout this episode, you'll notice two things consistently - passion for being in the woods and attention to detail. Jason maximizes his scouting trips as much as possible which paid great rewards this fall. This is especially apparent in the story of his PA whitetail he harvested on a new piece of public mountain land the first year he stepped foot in it! We cap off discussing the spring 2024 turkey season where Jason plans to hunt MD and PA, with hopes of completing the PA Grand Slam and continuing his streak of harvesting a PA spring gobbler since the early 2000s.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Every April the Wisconsin DNR releases a questionnaire to the public to ask for public input regarding conservation-related issues that are on the radar looking towards the future. The in-person Spring Hearings are then held by each district's Conservation Congress, where citizens can ask questions, and make their opinions known about issues that matter to them. It's an incredible opportunity for regular people like you and I to provide input, and an even better opportunity for outdoorsmen and conservationists to help further initiatives towards positive change. Some of the questions also make you think pretty hard. This week, Pierce sits down with Wisconsin BHA Board member, Alec Bekkers, to discuss a few of the Hearing questions that stuck out to them the most, and more importantly, what some of them mean for conservation, public land access, and hunter/angler rights and opportunities. The guys cover a little bit of everything including: trout regulations, wake boats, panfish limits, technology in the outdoors, houndsmen advocacy, and most importantly, that outdoorsmen need to do a better job of showing up, making their voices heard, and fighting for hunter rights. It's a thought-provoking conversation that's just the tip of the iceberg. You can go find the spring hearing questionnaire on the DNR website, and join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers at https://www.backcountryhunters.org/join Learn more about your ad choices.

Travis discusses turning a property around that has very few deer.  Travis goes through the steps of removing cottonwood, and why it's necessary to reduce species that over compete other preferred plants. Travis explains mistakes he has made with removing trees and what chemicals work best when removing certain tree species. Travis discusses designing a property around fire and how if its not done properly it can limit your ability to maintain a property. Travis discusses wetlands, the importance of removing non-preferred plants to support an increase in duck interest and feeding. Jon discusses beaver areas and the related benefits after these animals disband these areas. Travis explains the importance of emergent wetlands and overlooked plants in these areas.

Spring has sprung across the podcast sphere and the boys have moved the Gone To The Dogs operation to the front porch where the air is fresh and the conversation flows a little more freely. This episode will be Corey’s last for awhile as he and his wife Kayla welcome their second child, another girl, into the Gruver household. It could happen at any time. It’s an exciting time for sure and one that will demand a little more of Corey’s attention than usual. He’ll rejoin the show as soon as things settle down a bit over there in Greenville, PA. In this parting episode, the discussion moves to the winners of the UKC Tournament of Champions briefly before plunging headlong into the interesting realm of multi-purpose hounds. The boys explore every conceivable application of the term from competition versus pleasure dogs to targeting multi-species with the same breed and virtually everything in between. Imagine a dog that you can leave the porch and with which you can catch anything from a gray squirrel to a big ole stinking bear before the sun sets and turn around and hunt nocturnal furbearers with until the first gray streaks of dawn! Now that’s what we’re talkin’ about! Pull up a rocker. Things are finna start.   We would like to thank those who support this podcast. Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutrition and Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode. Want to learn more about Alpha Dog Nutrition?

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John heads west to chase Rio Grande turkeys with his long bow! This was John's first turkey hunt of the year, but knocking the dust off would prove to be difficult with how much water was on the ground. John had an odd combination of wet muddy ground and hot 90 degree temperatures that made finding turkeys difficult. After putting several miles on the side by side, the first evening proved to be uneventful. The scouting mission was not a complete failure though. Two other hunters had been on the property for three days before John got there, and while scouting he found a big section of the property that they had not been able to access due to the deep mud. That is the area John chose to focus on the following morning, and he found himself surrounded by gobbles with daylight breaking!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Mark covers what you can be doing right now to prep and scout deer for early season and rut hunting. Changes on the landscape, food plots and agriculture crops should be assessed to determine how deer will use them this year. Especially, when you can identify "deer magnet" sites that other hunters will overlook. Like a clear cut.   Mature bucks are hiding out in tight core areas. Locate now to help reduce pressure during mid to late summer. Bucks will remain in these core areas up until the pre-rut. Locating pregnant doe group bedding now will improve your rut hunting.
