Jon Collins and Joey Wirth discuss the top coyote hunting mistakes.

Mule deer numbers matter—to hunters, wildlife managers, and ecosystems alike. Utah is launching a focused study removing mountain lions in six units to better understand predator impacts on deer herds. In this episode, the Big Hunt Guys host Dax Mangus and Kent Hershey from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to walk through the goals, structure, and timeline of Utah's six-unit mountain lion study. We discuss historical predator management, modern research methods, and how this study could shape future conservation decisions in the West.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

Join Jon Collins an Al Morris as they discuss hunting the coyote breeding season.

The 2025 hunting seasons yielded success, struggles, memories and growth for many hunters and our team would fall into most of those categories.  Sam and Nick team up for another episode to recap in detail their 2025 whitetail and bow hunting efforts.  The guys worked hard to learn from previous seasons and change their tactics to try and find the edge on some big bucks, but unfortunately that's easier said than done.  While both were able to punch tags in the end, it was not without challenges.  Sam and Nick talk about what worked, what didn't, the pros and cons of modern day hunting technologies, and more.  Sam also breaks down his own personal struggles after arrowing a Texas buck this season and the lessons he learned after.  This is a genuine, raw and relatable conversation which shows we are no different than the every-day American deer hunter. Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

This week, we release a timely classic on our conversation with Dr. Mike Chamberlain to talk through some of the latest whitetail management techniques he's seeing. Over the last fifty years, the landscape has changed and whitetails are clearly king! But what's changed, and what can we learn? His recent trip to South Texas leads us to ask about the story of his buck and what he sees that those intensively managed ranches are doing that works. As always when Mike joins us, it's an interesting discussion.Listen, Learn and Enjoy.Send a text message to the show!

Jon Collins and Torry Cook discuss the coyote breeding season.

It's always nice to have a few days off during this time of year. While a lot of folks are busy with family, or having cozy times at home, I can wander through the snowy woods looking for the signs and tracks of all the other animals who we share the land with. For today's show I am just telling some stories of some of the trails I have been on over the past week, detailing some of what I have been observing and learning. Fondling icy Coyote tracks, to learning about a new species of Poison Ivy (new to me), to finding a flayed Cottontail carcass, it's been a ton of fun this past week.

In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan speaks with Kip Adams from the National Deer Association about the importance of deer management, hunting regulations, and the cultural influences that shape hunting seasons. They discuss the role of antlerless deer in population control, the impact of diseases like EHD on deer populations, and the future of deer hunting regulations. Kip shares insights from his extensive experience in wildlife biology and emphasizes the need for hunters to understand the balance between deer populations and habitat capacity. Takeaways Kip Adams has been with the National Deer Association for 23 years. Hunting seasons were established to protect deer populations from overhunting. Antlerless deer play a crucial role in managing deer populations. The number of deer hunters significantly impacts deer harvest numbers. Many states are currently encouraging hunters to harvest more antlerless deer. Cultural factors heavily influence the timing of hunting seasons. State agencies manage deer populations at the zone level, not property level. Disease outbreaks can lead to rapid adjustments in hunting regulations. Public land availability affects deer management strategies. Hunters should engage with their state agencies to understand regulations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, Jon Collins and Tory Cook discuss June Coyote Calling

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale has a very interesting discussion with Brian Wakeling, Game Management Bureau Chief for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Rigger received emails from a whole lot of you wanting more information about the new Mule Deer Management Plan that Brian and his staff are working on right now. Mule Deer are a VERY popular species to hunt here in Montana and a great deal of hunters and outdoor folks in general have been concerned about the decline in Mule Deer populations in many hunting districts across the state. Thus, one of the main reasons for the FWP developing a new management plan. So, what is a management plan anyway? Who decides what goes into the plan? What are the main issues facing Montana's Mule Deer? Is it just Chronic Wasting Disease or are there other issues that are causing population declines? Recently Brian and his staff conducted a series of public workshops across Montana to get input from folks across the state. Mainly they wanted to hear ideas and what folks would like to see in the New Management plan. So how did the workshops go?

This week, we are joined by Dr. Mike Chamberlain to talk through some of the latest whitetail management techniques he's seeing. Over the last fifty years, the landscape has changed and whitetails are clearly king! But what's changed, and what can we learn? His recent trip to South Texas leads us to ask about the story of his buck and what he sees that those intensively managed ranches are doing that works. As always when Mike joins us, it's an interesting discussion.
