Weather App Eval / Wind, Fronts, Pressure, Temps

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Predominant wind, barometric pressure, cold fronts, wind speed, sunrise & sun set. We rely heavily on our weather apps during the hunting season to help us determine when and where we want to hunt, what layers we need to wear, and what to expect when we get set up. However, are all weather apps created equal? Should we simply trust the weather app that comes with our phone or simply go to the Weather Channel app? What forecasting model do those basic weather apps use? In today's episode, Jacob shares his top 3 weather apps that he examines closely when preparing for a simple hunt in the evening, or on a long extended trip out of state. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

The Hunting Knife to Rule Them All Pt. 2

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Knife making is both an art and a science. In today's episode, Jacob continues to examine the dynamics of the steel composition of high end knives and the implications of that composition. There are a lot of steels that were created in the 1940's to 1960's (A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel) that were specific for the manufacturing industry and are still used in high end hunting knives today. But what do knife steels look like as they evolved in the early 2000's and what do knife steels look like now as they evolved in the 2020's. There are often tradeoffs between toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. But is it possible to create a steel that has balance across these 3 knife steel dynamics. And, if so, what options are out there now for those looking for that balance of properties. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

The Hunting Knife To Rule Them All Pt. 1

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

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.

Single Bevel Broadhead Battle

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 04:00:00 +0000

The purpose of a single bevel blade on a broadhead is to twist as it penetrates as opposed to creating a flat cut plane like a double bevel blade does. As a result, you have a wound channel that doesn't close or re-seal easily, which hopefully translates into better blood trails and better recoveries. In today's episode, Jacob share the results of his evaluation of 2 different single bevel broadheads. Jacob shot the Iron Will 125 and the Toulou 125 through ballistic gel and each through a mature whitetail shoulder blade. He examined the twist rate of each broadhead and penetration. The results of the evaluation were compelling and worth sharing. Thanks for listening!

Out Of State Hunt Masterclass Pt.3

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 13 May 2025 04:00:00 +0000

The benefit of creating a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound hunt objective is a better overall hunt plan and hunt systems. In today's episode, Jacob will get specific about how your hunt plan should be mapped out on both your hunt map app of choice, but also on a corresponding spreadsheet with plan A, B, C, D, etc. Doing so will help ensure that despite in the field setbacks (crowded trailheads, lack of sign, bad weather, road closures, etc,), you will be able to remain engaged and excited as there will be multiples of "theories" to work in the field as you move from one plan to the next.

Hunting E-Bike Breakdown Part 2

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Just because an ad shows a hunter with an e-bike, or is promoted by a hunter, doesn't mean that e-bike is going to be a good spend of your money or perform the way you want it to in a particular situation. In today's episode, Jacob continues the examination of the brands and models of the top hunting e-bikes. The parameters are mid-drive bikes with 1000w motors, 20Ah batteries, with an emphasis on multiple gear options and built in class adjustment modes (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3). The brands include Velowave, BikTrix, Rambo, BackCou, Quiet Cat, and Face Off. The bikes that are outlined here are at the top of the food chain. Based on their specs, they are ideal for using in hill country and on flat terrain.

Hunting E-Bike Breakdown Part 1

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 8 Apr 2025 04:00:00 +0000

There are likely hunting situations that you have been in either in state or out of state when an e-bike would have helped you make better use of your time. Maybe there was a well used trail, a fire road, or an old logging trail. And, an e-bike could get you away from some of the nearby hunting pressure. In today's episode, Jacob is going to begin the breakdown of the e-bike category. There is a lot of options and it can be a bit overwhelming. Not all e-bikes are the same and there are some important considerations to evaluate before you jump in. Hub drive vs. Mid drive, 750w motor vs. 1000w motor, newton meters of torque, weight of the frame, single speed vs. multi-speed, and is it a Class 1, 2, or 3? Lots to discern. Thanks for listening.

There are tradeoffs when shooting a fixed blade broadhead with slighter blood trails and lesser wound channels.

On today's episode, Jacob shares his thoughts on the mobile hunting brands that he feels are missing the mark and a few that are effectively demonstrating the "Hedgehog Principle" and as a result are winning in the mobile hunting space.

But what happens when there is a downturn in interest in potential new customers? What brands will remain and what brands will fade away? The mobile hunting market has been growing significantly over the past 5 to 6 years. But, when this segment plateaus or even takes a downturn, what brands can sustain success?

Season Update: Buck Tag Filled - Public Land Bruiser

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 12:25:24 +0000

In today's episode, Jacob details how he broke down a piece of out of state public land, and in relatively short order, tagged a mature 11 pointer. As he outlines his hunt, he goes back to last fall when he felt he needed to add another state to his whitetail season. During the summer, Jacob spend time examining maps of public and private, and tried to identify a drainage system that would have several ridges dumping into it, as well as limited access points. He wanted to avoid any pre-season scouting and simply scout in season. As a result of his efforts, he found a piece that was relatively unpressured, found hot sign, and identified a ridge system that held several mature bucks.

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 04:00:00 +0000

On today's episode, Jacob outlines how to discern between white and red oaks, and more specifically, some of the subtypes of white and red oak trees that cover different regions of the midwest, northeast, and southeast.

White oak flats specifically can be ideal areas for bucks to stage prior to coming to soybeans or corn, they can also serve as a primary food source on properties that lack agriculture. As the season moves on and other food sources wane, red oak acorns can be an option to target as well.

Good News for Hunters that Like Bad News

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 04:00:00 +0000

If you hunt other states, the amount of information available to you in order to plan your hunt has increased significantly over the past decade. From YouTube, Podcasts, Forums, Pay Wall Information, Facebook Groups, etc. So, where will this expand to in the next 5 to 10 years? How will it evolve and spread from other states that you hunt, to your state, your county, and eventually your own backyard? If you think that the availability of information on other states has been helpful, just wait until you have individuals and companies chatting up your favorite piece of public land and exposing your own hunting spots...all in the name of "helping others" and "mentoring".

That is where the real separation in the product category will happen next. The data collected from your fleet of cell cams will help you create a micro predictive deer movement model based on your property to help you allocated your time more effectively in the field. This is where cell cam apps are going and you should pay close attention to the companies that evolve this space accordingly.

Getting into a herd of elk or finding elk can be a success in and of itself. But, what should or can you do in those situations? Do you bugle back? Do you cow call?

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 5 Jun 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Your hunt systems are those aspects of your preparation that should simply work on their own with little thought or energy. Examples from the previous week's episodes have been: Meat Care, First Aid, Clothing and Water Systems. These are important because time is so limited when you have traveled from out of state. A poor hunt system for some aspect of your hunt can cause headaches or cut your hunt short.

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 16 May 2024 04:00:00 +0000

As one prepares for a western elk hunt, it's important to continue to zero in from a 30,000 foot view down to a more microscopic view of what is transpiring within a particular region or area that has been outlined as the area to hunt.

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 04:00:00 +0000

There are more than a few whitetail hunters that believe the moon has an impact on deer movement during the fall seasons. There are essentially 2 groups of "moon" hunters, those that believe in hunting based on the "red" moon, and those that hunt based on the moon phase. Last week, Jacob provided clarity on what the "red moon" and "overhead" and "underfoot" means as it relates to this upcoming fall deer seasons. On this week's episode, Jacob examines the phases of the moon during this upcoming fall and identifies dates that you may want to mark on your calendar.

Now is the time to be fine tuning your public hunting "spots", with the intent to increase your efficiency in the fall. How can one close the deal on a mature buck in October instead of waiting until November? With no green up yet to cover those scrapes, rubs, and beds, it is infinitely easier to identify areas of key deer movement and identify set ups that are closer to core mature buck areas. In this episode, Jacob shares what he found in his own efforts to find the spot within the spot in a public land big woods hunting area that has produced well for him in the past.

The X & Y Axis of Deer Hunting

jmcoon02@yahoo.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Duration and location are the variables with most hunting...and certainly with deer hunting. The better the location...the less likely you will be sitting long. The longer you sit in any spot, even the worse spot, the likelyhood of filling your tag will increase. In this episode, Jacob breaks down his recent efforts to find the spot within the spot on a large piece of big woods public land that has held some "magnums". Public land is often a large puzzle that is difficult to solve. Take a listen and this episode may give you some ideas on how you could breakdown some public land puzzles of your own.
