Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

FROM THE VAULT: In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Jake Ehlinger (Habitat Solutions 360) discuss food plots, property management, design, maintenance, and new property layout techniques. Jake explains his no till, food source options and how to reshape your property based on the neighborhood. Jake discusses his neighborhood and how to approach changes on a yearly basis. Jake's adaptive management style and his ability to be consistent and grow more tonnage per acre, allows him to pull in more deer and be less susceptible to over browse. Jake discusses his current food plot regime, and breaks down why this is the better late season food plot option when trying to manage a larger deer herd. Jake details his property layout and how deer congregate on his property when he creates “green plots” and how his food plots will outcompete other options like soybeans. Jake discusses a combination of soybeans and corn and what ratio he plants each in to get maximum results. Jake provides an option for annual plants and other options you have for late season food. Jake explains his neighborhood situation and what his neighbors are doing from a harvest to food perspective and how this impacts his property. Jake discusses the importance of his observation treestand and how you can observe much more through your own eyes as compared to trail cameras. Jake explains how trail systems he lays out will lead deer through his property for better hunting opportunities. Jon discusses the importance of observation data and why we should not ignore this information when evaluating deer movement. Jake explains his observation data and how bucks use cover and how deer move based on densities and wind direction. Jake explains how deer can avoid trail cameras and sometimes our reliance on trail cameras can be fraught with lack of or misinformation. Jon and Jake discuss how deer are individualistic and how data from trail cameras and observation lead to more information on deer behavior. Jon explains a strategy to pull a mature buck onto your property and the bits of information he relies on to ensure deer are going have increased interest in a property.  Jake discusses changes over time and how he handles the maintenance and improvement side of his property as succession occurs. Jon explains what we need to consider as we are making changes on our property as we go through seral stages over time. Jake explains a recent change he has made to his property to ensure deer utilization is high. Jake discusses normal maintenance and specific changes that may be needed to ensure bedding areas remain permanent fixtures in a deer’s movement. Jake explains how to cut a focal area on his property through creating walls of cover, travel corridors, open and closed areas in the best locations. Jake continues to improve his and his client’s properties through these detailed methods of cutting and how he emphasizes diversity on the landscape.

If you haven't noticed, there is a new product segment emerging in the hunting knife space. Maybe it's been there all along...but it seems that there are more and more companies branching out and creating high end fixed blade hunting knives. The prices range from $200 to $400. And, while they look amazing, how do we know they are a worthy investment? Aside from the aesthetics, they all sort of seem the same? In today's episode, Jacob begins the deep dive into knife steel and some of the dynamics that come into play with regards to the type of steels that are available and how their composition of carbon, chromium, vanadium and other elements will dictate their toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

Each of the four players in this episode have hunted coons for sixty years or more. Their combined age of 297 autumns is nearly 300 years and each year now. They gather to follow hounds in the big woods of the Arkansas delta.  At the heart of their annual hunt is the endless discussion at mealtimes and around the camp when hounds are fed and watered and beverages poured, of the memories of bygone hounds or hunters gone on to their rewards that continue into the wee, small hours, only to be rejoined over steaming cups of coffee and heaping plates at the breaking of each new day.  These are the coon hunting conversations that form the foundation of the experience that continues to motivate these men to come year after year to the White River Refuge. Join Nubbin Moore, Morris Hardy, Randy Smith and Steve as they talk dogs and all things coon hunting in this, the last Gone To The Dogs podcast of the 2021 year. Happy New Year!

In this episode Steve visits with Tom Hopkins of Marshall, Texas.Tom owned, trained and handled what was perhaps the most famous Treeing Walker Coonhound in the history of coon hunting, the immortal House’s Lipper. Lipper distinguished himself in competition and in the breeding pen by winning major championships and by producing more that 5000 pups, not including those that were born through frozen semen breeding.   Lipper’s record in that regard is most likely never to be broken. Lipper was making news before he was a year old and won the prestigious PCA National Championship, the prize package of which included a pickup truck, dog box and other related awards at less than two years of age.  He is the youngest Dual Grand Champion (Nite Hunt and Bench Show) on record.

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.
