Driving Towards The Whitetail Rut

We also talk about Jordan's Midwest deer road trip, as he is rolling out this week to hunt both in Missouri and Kansas.

Native Habitats & Regenerative Farms

So, before we dive into this one, lets set the stage. In the aftermath of the chaotic year of 2020, We started to see a lot of residual impacts and new buzz words coming out 

regenerative farming 

sustainable agriculture 

factory farming is bad.

orgranic grown is the way to go.

What does cage free even mean?

we also saw a revived movement in supporting local farms and businesses. 

 

Here’s the thing, I know enough to know that these topics are important- land conservation and soil and water quality, not to mention the foods that most of us consume. I know everyone on this podcast are fans of wildgame, myself included, but I also know virtually none of live off of nothing but wild game 24/7, and not to mention that regenerative term is starting get thrown around in wildlife management circles as well

 

So the real question is, is the hype is real?- I’m no farmer, I’ve never raised livestock

so in efforts for all of us to get to the bottom of this I’ve called in subject experts-

To my surprise, in doing research for this particular podcast episode I learned of two 

regenerative farms right here in my home state of Mississippi. 

Home Place Pastures- a grass fed beef and pork opperation in Como, Mississippi 

and Riley Family Farms a pasture poultry farm in Holly springs,MS 

and lastly, we'll talk to Kyle Lybarger of the Native Habitat Project 

 

Between these 3 guests we’re going to find out once and for all what regenerative farming and native habitats really mean, and why it’s so important for conservation, wildlife, and our every day lives.

Bad Doe Hunters, Better Story Tellers

Last week we made the commitment to try a new style of deer hunting before the next episode came out, and we kept our promise. This week's episode was recorded right after we returned from the whitetail woods and learned exactly what not do in terms of calling in a doe. We also discuss a new project for Jordan in the habitat segment, a 200-inch deer killed in Mississippi in an unorthodox and comical manor, a 101-year-old man killing a buck, and the continuing controversy surrounding the upcoming vote on mountain lion hunting in Colorado. Check it out.

Early Season Whitetail Scheming

We are one week into October. The weather has been warm, the rain has been scarce, and the deer reports have been few. However, we have been making the most of our time between finishing up food plot projects, staying sharp on archery, making plans for an unorthodox deer hunt, and more. We also check in with Jordan for the weekly habitat segment, as well as the upcoming Consumed videos. We round it out with a wild wolf story from Wisconsin, and new segment about wild game cooking.

Arrows & Shoulder bones

Holy smokes it's October! Deer season is officially here and we couldn't be more excited about it. In the first part of this episode, you'll be treated to a recording of us doing a little "in-the-field experimentation" as we shoot a an arrow at an elk scapula to see what kind of penetration we get with an very popular expandable broad head. The results may surprise you. We also discuss the most recent elk trip, Jordan's update from the Arkansas waterfowl project, plans for the deer season, this past weekend's public field day at Leaf River WMA, and the positive responses to the Dig Deep Episodes. 

 

 

The History Of Whitetail Deer Restoration in Mississippi- The Deep Dig Episodes #2

Mississippi is presently known for being an extremely high deer density state. In fact, it has one of the highest deer densities in the entire United States. However, have you ever stopped to think if it has always been that way? You might be surprised to know that not too long ago, whitetail deer were almost completely wiped out of the state, and the sole reason they succeed today is because of very intentional conservation efforts. In this episode, we talk with MS deer program coordinator William McKinley about the history of deer here in Mississippi.  #DigDeep

Planting Food Plots

Food plot are consistently one of the hottest topics in the whitetail hunting world. What do I plant? When do I plant? How do I plant? These are just a few of the hundreds of questions that come along with the subject. This week, we take the subject and dissect it from one end to the other, in attempts to leave no stone unturned.
