    In this episode of the Hunt Fish Travel Podcast, I am chatting with Landon Hintz, owner of Whiskey Rivers Fly Fishing. We dive into the world of smallmouth float fishing in Wisconsin and talk about what makes it so unique. Landon shares how using inflatable boats opens up access to rocky rivers that traditional boats just cannot navigate. We talk about the thrill of catching smallmouth bass, known for being athletic fighters and a ton of fun on the line. Landon explains how float fishing creates a more accessible and exciting experience, especially for beginners looking to get into bass fishing. Throughout the conversation, we touch on the migration patterns of smallmouth bass. In spring, they hang out in deeper, slower water, while in the summer they move into the shallows. Landon also shares some helpful tips on fly selection, suggesting bigger flies in the spring and topwater flies once summer rolls around. We also dig into fish growth and conservation. It takes years for a smallmouth bass to reach trophy size, making education around conservation practices incredibly important. This was such a fun conversation that really highlights how much joy you can find in chasing different species and why bass fishing should be on every angler's radar. 00:00 Introduction to Float Fishing and Smallmouth Bass 09:53 Techniques and Strategies for Bass Fishing 20:05 Understanding Bass Migration Patterns 30:23 Conclusion and Resources for Aspiring Anglers Links: Whiskey Rivers Fly Fishing Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers Subscribe to the show - and don't forget to leave a 5 star review!

    HuntFishTravel Podcast Episode 237 - Hunting Arrow Tech, Kinetic Energy, Hunting vs Basic Arrows, and so Much More with Gary Cornum of Easton Archery Summary In this Throwback episode of the HuntFishTravel Podcast, host Carrie Zylka interviews Gary Cornam, the marketing manager for Easton Archery. They discuss the different types of arrows and their benefits for bow hunting. They also talk about the new products for 2013, including the injection arrows and the Deep Six technology. Cornam explains the difference between hunting arrows and basic arrows, and the advantages of using a full metal jacket arrow. He emphasizes the importance of kinetic energy and accuracy in bow hunting. In this conversation, Carrie and Gary discuss the importance of arrows in archery and bowhunting. They cover topics such as flat shooting, arrow selection based on speed and kinetic energy, the design of Easton's new access traditional arrow, the physics of arrows including kinetic energy and momentum, and the importance of shot placement and penetration. They also touch on the concept of kinetic energy density and the minimum requirements for kinetic energy in relation to hunting different species. Gary emphasizes the importance of accuracy and finding the right arrow for each individual's needs.   Takeaways Easton Archery is a leading manufacturer of arrows for bow hunting Different types of arrows have different benefits for specific hunting situations The injection arrows and Deep Six technology offer improved performance and accuracy A full metal jacket arrow is recommended for hunting whitetails from a tree stand Maximizing kinetic energy and accuracy are key factors in successful bow hunting Flat shooting arrows are designed for speed and a flatter trajectory, which is beneficial for longer shots and 3D shooting. Arrow selection should consider a balance between speed and kinetic energy, with shot placement being the key factor for hunting success. Easton's new access traditional arrow is designed with inspiration from Doug Easton's original arrows and offers a throwback look with modern performance. Kinetic energy is important for driving the broadhead through the target, and shorter draw archers may need to focus on maximizing kinetic energy due to their lower power stroke. Kinetic energy density, which focuses energy into a smaller diameter, can lead to increased penetration and is an important factor to consider when choosing arrows. There are no specific minimum requirements for kinetic energy in relation to hunting legally, but a threshold of around 40 foot pounds is often recommended for big game hunting. Accuracy and shot placement are more important than maximizing kinetic energy, and choosing the right arrow can help increase energy without sacrificing accuracy. Easton offers a wide range of arrows for different types of archery and archers of all sizes and skill levels.   Titles Introducing the New Products for 2013 Choosing the Right Arrows for Bow Hunting Easton: A Wide Range of Arrows for Every Archer Introducing Easton's New Access Traditional Arrow   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Sponsorship 07:10 Advantages of the Full Metal Jacket Arrow 33:25 Understanding the Physics of Arrows 40:21 Exploring Kinetic Energy Density 47:32 The Importance of Accuracy

We chat about my 3 state ice fishing trip last year, and about my Lake of the Woods trip this past January. Free to Prowl Outdoors's mission is to inspire hunting and fishing. He talks about how he spent two and a half weeks living in his truck fishing all over Canada, and how his explanation to the border patrol was a bit dicey. Plus he explains how he kept warm sleeping in the back of his truck. We talk about his connections to a resort in Thunder Bay. He talks about how much a non-resident license costs, daily possessions and baits that were successful. Then we talk about what we both have coming up this year.

    “New Mexico Elk and Navigating the Draw Process with Jordan Christensen from The Draw” Jordan Christensen from The Draw stops by for an EXTRA long episode. Normally I'd break this apart into 2 or 3 parts to keep the under 30-minute algorithm happy, but the information imparted was so intertwined there was no way I could break it apart. So go work out for an hour and a half, head up to ice camp and listen along because this information packed episode is epic. Jordan shares his rise in the outdoor industry, and his journey from outfitter to taxidermist to hunting consultant for Cabelas. We talk about permit draws and lotteries and how he helps other hunters navigate the process via The Draw. One of the states and species we highlighted in depth was Elk hunting in New Mexico, he explains the difference between a $750 DIY OTC draw tag vs the $10,000 available landowner tags. And which one is right for you. He talks about what Guided Pools even are and how it works. Then we chat about how We are the Draw service works and the costs you incur by using them. (which is surprisingly low.) We talk about drawing tags, cost of, odds and probably a ton of informational tidbits I'm forgetting about several states and species. And in the end I ask him, “I have no idea what I want to hunt or where, what do you recommend?” And his answer surprised me. The state and specie(s) suggested were extremely doable.

    HuntFishTravel Podcast 220 - Ireland and my Irish Fishing Trip That Never Was & Trail Camera Q&A with Trent Marsh from SpyPoint Pt 2 Trent Marsh from SpyPoint joins me on this week's episode, we talk about the new SpyPoint Flex that they debuted last summer. I've been playing with them on my deer hunting lease and I have a bunch of questions. I don't hold back in expressing some minor frustrations not unique to the company, but to trail cameras in general. Trent takes the time to break down the most common issues with using a trail camera, specifically SpyPoint and how to fix them. Questions such as: “I change the batteries, and now it's not sending photos”, “do SD cards in a cellular trail camera get full, or do the transmitted images get deleted once they are sent”, “for the Flex, I requested the HD version, but there is a problem, and it's unavailable”, “why are my trail camera photos crappy or blurry compared to all these photos other people post”, “should I just go buy rechargeable batteries since it seems like all I do is change them out”, “my cellphone has 5G in the spot my camera is, but the camera isn't sending – what's the deal”, “how often should I even be going into the woods to check/fix/battery the cameras”?

    HuntFishTravel Podcast 218 - Sue Tidwell - Cries of the Savanna and an eye-opening adventure in Africa On this episode, I'm interviewing Sue Tidwell, author of self-published Cries of the Savanna, whose goal as a non-hunter is to make people fall in love with Africa. The book covers her terrifying, amazing, wonderful and scary adventure at Masimba Camp in Tanzania as a non-hunter. (She is not apposed to hunting). Tanzania is a remote area where the people welcome the hunters who give them the meat. The people never waste anything. They lack protein in their diet so they welcome the money (which goes for anti poaching) and meat the hunters supply. She explains about how hunting protects the habitat. They do not have the tools to hunt with, so they poison animals or set traps. She tells a story of brothers watching their herd who are attacked and his 2 brothers are eaten in from of him. She also writes about Lilian a Tanzian game scout who verifies all of her information in the book to be correct. It was a fascinating conversation about hunting Africa as well as the struggles a self-published author faces when going forward with a project like this. Links: Website Faceboook Page Amazon
