On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Evan Trebilcock about his passion for the outdoors and exploring new opportunities.Since he was just learning to walk, Evan was exposed to the great outdoors. Hailing from rural, upstate New York, his family has always taken advantage of the opportunity to harvest game from the land. From archery whitetail to chasing river walleyes, Evan is always outside pursuing something to take home for dinner.His upbringing left Evan wanting to share the wonders of wild lands with other curious people. This led him to start a nonprofit mentorship organization with a close friend called Opportunity Outdoors. From indoctrinating first time deer hunters, to teaching himself to archery hunt for bull elk in the Rocky Mountains, Evan lives to push boundaries in the outdoors and bring others along for the ride.Connect with Dan Mathews and The Nomadic Outdoorsman On GoWild, TikTok, Instagram, and FacebookShop Dan's Podcast Gear and Hunting GearConnect with EvanOn Instagram, and Online

This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus is riding solo to give the listeners a bit of a reset before kicking off 'Org Month' in October. Marcus talks about what's to come during org month along with some of the guests that he'll be having on. With that, he also gets into a few different proposed bills that are out there, both good and bad for the conservation world and how you can help voice your opinions. The hope is that this episode will get you to start thinking about conservation from more of a policy side of things and encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and get involved.

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick recalls his adventure for archery elk with his hunting buddy, Brock Dean. Together they tell their reactions to a week of super highs and deep woes; close enounters, and hellacious climbs, and what helped them to have really good success as greenhorn western elk hunters. Not a lot of animals died, but a couple get real close, on this episode of Huntavore.Nick is joined by good friend, Brock Dean. Brock, AKA: The Former PLW, public land warrior. Brock and Nick along with two other buds, headed to Montana. They took their chance on a DIY archery hunt with General Elk tags. The week-long hint started with a 24 hour straight through drive. After hitting their campsite and prepping their gear, the 4 some made their first novice move and climbed straight up a face of the mountain without really understanding what their objective was. To their surprise they did happen to hear elk bugles, which gave them some confidence, and started their plan for the next day. Nick and Brock both agreed that our heads were in the right place, while maybe our bodies were not. Very positive going in, knew that the “slog” was worth the effort, continual planning and making audibles kept putting the guys in spots to catch elk. In fact, the group finding a closed ATV trail helped in getting up the mountain and to areas that otherwise would be out of their reach. While even the trail was in bad shape, it was better than thick timber and no switchbacks.The group also found themselves at the top of bowl with little to no access, other than from the top. This became a sweet spot and location of several very close encounters. One being a huge bull in the timber, another being a spike bull feet from Nick, and finally the dramatic tale of Brock taking an uphill shot on a nice bull that ultimately ended unsuccessful. Overall with what they had accomplished, the adventure of it all, lessons learned, and how close they were to animals, they deemed this a successful trip. Let's just call it, unfinished business.Tappecue Meat ProbesInstagram: @tappecueWebsite: https://bit.ly/2NIr0XjCoupon Code 10% off: HUNT10

Who doesn't fantasize about wielding a pistol like Doc Holliday? Pistols and hunting are controversial. Loathed by some hunting groups to the point of “you ain't using it” to celebrated by others. The pistol's effectiveness is dependent upon the individual shooter's experience and willingness to put in the reps to train with it.Caleb Barnett of Underwood Ammo is back. Chris and Caleb discuss handgun training choice, training tips and where and how to carry. Each shooter is unique and requires different things from a handgun but we all share the same end result…proficiency! Being able to draw, shoot and hit the target is the most important aspect of carrying a handgun. In this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast we break it all down from handgun choices, training tips and the importance of where the pistol is carried.www.houndsmanxp.comwww.underwoodammo.comSPONSORS:Cajun LightsHavoc Hunting SupplyGo WildOld South Dog BoxesJoy Dog FoodBriar Creek KenneldogsRtreedFreedom HuntersRough Cut Company

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick digitally sits down with Rick Casey, CEO of CHARD Products. Rick has a passion for wildgame, growing up in the U.P. of Michigan, Rick has fond memories of bringing in deer to the family garage and working together to create the amazing dishes of his yesteryears, like his grandma's potato sausage. Rick also goes into how hunting and venison has impacted the design of his products, helping them be more effective for the hunter's kitchen. If meat means more to you than just a fuel source, then this is your episode. Settle on in for a nostalgia filled episode of Huntavore.Rick Casey is a problem solver. He sees products and notices changes that can be made to make them better. He has turned this trait into successful businesses. So when Rick had the chance to improve meat processing equipment, he fell back on his upbringing. Holidays in the U.P. , cutting venison with his family. What worked? What did he wish was changed back then? How could I improve the process of bringing wild game to my family's table? Through this Rick has improved many of his CHARD Products.https://linktr.ee/chardproductsIn our chat, Rick was so open about how much food means to him. Taking the time to not only sell a product hunters could use and be content with mediocre, Rick had to tinker and think about how he used poorly designed products before, and fix those quirks. Even if it was widen the legs to make it more stable, or using steel gears instead of plastic for a more robust build. These are changes that can help hunters step up their processing game. Ricks idea of making processing and cooking your wildgame is what he called closing the circle. So much effort is given preparing, executing, and finishing the hunt.

On this episode of Huntavore, pressure builds as season openers draw near, and Nick is presented with an opportunity to hunt elk in Montana.  The combination of exciting new experiences along with adventure in a brand new environment builds a pressure of anxiousness, nervousness and excitement.  Speaking of pressure, One of Nick's tasks this week is to turn heavily worked venison cuts into easy bags of shredded goodness that can help with midweek meal prep.  Seal up those valves, pressure is about to build on this episode of Huntavore.With 13 days left (at the time of this recording) before a group a hunting buddies and myself head out to Montana.  This will be a lot of firsts for me; first hunt out of state, first hunt for elk, first hunt from a truck/backpack.  Even with all the preparations and training, and conditioning I feel the pressure of the unknown.  It's an exciting pressure, thrill of adventure, yet the daunting thoughts of what's next, and what should I expect are ever present.  (Side note). After I recorded this, a practice session with the bow helped my anxiety.Along with returning safely, I'm ok with either outcome; no elk, amazing backpacking trip, or we get elk and bring home glorious meat.Now to bring things back around to meat.  One of Nick's tasks is to prepare a batch of shredded venison that can be used in the months ahead.  Loading up the instapot and seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic will produce a great tasting base shredded veni, for a whole number of dishes. Vac these into 1lb bags and back to the freezer.  Because they are cooked and packed with the drippings makes for a quick warm up final add of seasoning toward whatever you want to make.A dish that I will do in my enameled dutch oven will be Hank's Veni Barbacoa, recipe here:https://honest-food.net/barbacoa-recipe-venison/ Tappecue Meat ProbesInstagram: @tappecueWebsite: https://bit.ly/2NIr0XjCoupon Code 10% off: HUNT10

To describe Asa Briggs, it would have to be unassuming. His accomplishments do not reflect in his character. He is a quiet guy that doesn't draw a lot of attention to himself when he is at an event until he turns a hound loose. People, when asked, describe as “always packing a nice dog” or “if he shows up at an event he has a real chance of winning”. Houndsman XP host, Chris Powell traveled to north central Michigan and had a chat with Asa about hounds, competition coonhunting, bobcat hunting and hall of fame dogs.

He has since started a non profit called 4Progeny, an organization designed to take a stand against anti hunting legislation and governmental agendas by purchasing private land through crowd sourced funding to be held in a non profit organization for use by the public hunting community. Dan and Skyler talk all about how we can each take a small step towards preserving land that will collectively make a huge difference. Connect with Dan Mathews and The Nomadic Outdoorsman On GoWild, TikTok, Instagram, and FacebookShop Dan's Podcast Gear and Hunting Gear Connect with The Wild UOnline Connect with 4Progeny Online and on Instagram  Sign up for GoWildHERE

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 135 of the Antler Up Podcast!On this week's episode I was joined by Marcus Smith from Black Ovis! Most of you know Black Ovis as your one stop shop when it comes to all things hunting gear like archery equipment, boots, clothing, backpacking gear and a ton more.  I had the opportunity to meet Marcus at this past year's ATA show in KY and knew I wanted to get him on the show.  Well better late than ever and I had a great time talking to Marcus about a few different topics when it comes to hunting and gear!We start out this episode with Marcus sharing his background in marketing and how being a professional skier led him to his job with Black Ovis.  Marcus then talks about growing up chasing elk in UT and now his passion is bowhunting!  I love these stories because you can really hear it in his voice how much this means to him.  This episode wouldn't be complete until we really got into talking about some gear.  With western hunting in full swing I asked Marcus what his must have pieces of gear and more! The last bit we discuss is how the new laws in UT regarding trail cameras and how the law has altered his strategy.  Enjoy today's episode & thanks for tuning in!!
