Missouri Woods & Water - Hunting and Fishing Podcast

Springtime BS Session - Ep 313

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 7 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

In this laid-back episode of the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast, the guys kick back for a classic BS session that feels more like hanging out at deer camp than recording a show. With no strict agenda, the conversation bounces all over—in the best way possible

We dive into farming updates and the challenges of working the land this time of year, swapping stories and frustrations that anyone in agriculture can relate to. From there, the talk naturally shifts into deer hunting, including recent observations, strategies for the upcoming season, and some regulations—along with a few opinions. True to form, the episode is packed with laughs, especially when the crew throws out some off-the-wall “would you rather” scenarios that spark hilarious debates. Between the jokes and storytelling, there’s still plenty of solid insight for hunters and outdoorsmen alike.

It’s an easygoing, entertaining episode full of camaraderie, real talk, and the kind of random conversations that keep us on our toes! Thanks for listening!!!

12 Signs You Should Harvest More Does With Lindsay Thomas Jr. - Ep 230

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 1 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

In today's podcast, Missouri Woods & Water and Lindsay Thomas Jr. with the Deer Association discuss the importance of harvesting does during deer hunting season. They touch on various points, including the significance of taking a doe for every buck harvested, the use of rattling and grunt calls as indicators of buck-to-doe ratios, the presence of browse lines as a sign of an imbalanced deer population, and the age distribution of harvested does. They emphasize the need for hunters to pay attention to these signs and adjust their doe harvest accordingly to maintain a healthy deer population. Lindsay emphasizes the importance of balancing the deer population with the habitat to ensure deer health and prevent the spread of diseases. Thanks for listening!

The Hunter Decline Myth With Nicole Qualtieri - Ep 225

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to talk with Nicole Qualtieri. The conversation is about an article titled 'The Hunter Decline Myth' written by Nicole Qualtieri. The article challenges the fear-based marketing around the decline of hunters and highlights the importance of engaging non-hunters in conservation efforts. It discusses the per capita hunting numbers and the need to educate people about habitat and public lands. The article aims to spark conversations between hunters and non-hunters and promote a better understanding of the hunting community. Hunters are not declining, but hunting is a privilege that can be changed by legislators. It is important to advocate for hunting and share the experiences with others. The number of hunters may not be decreasing, but the availability of hunting opportunities and habitat are concerns. Success in hunting can be defined as either killing an animal or having a positive experience. An open invitation and inclusive vision of hunting can attract new and reactivated hunters.

Can You Start Hunting For $1000 Bucks? - Ep 221

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast Nate & Micah tackle the topic of becoming a new hunter. To begin the show, for about the first 15-20 minutes, we talk about a subject no man likes to go through, saying goodbye to a great dog. Micah had to do that a few days back so we spent a little time on that. Then we get into the subject and both go through the list of items that we think someone would need to start rifle hunting for $1000 bucks or less. This person we are putting the list together for has nothing to start and no one to help them, a true ground zero scenario. Let us know what you think of our lists and what you would choose differently. Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to sit down with Stephanie & Andrew White. The Whites are avid hunters and farmers that both grew up with a love for the outdoors.

Stephanie's newest book titled "The Hunt" is an awesome read for kids and parents alike. In today's show, we talk with the WHites about their background, go off on a few tangents and rabbit holes, and then talk about Stepahnies book journey, and even get into the hate from.......well.......haters.

We also talk about what goes into a good call and some national and regional calling competitions Scott enters to test his skills with some of the best turkey and owl callers in the world. Finally, we talk about how difficult it is for turkey to survive in our state with all of the predator and weather concerns facing them as they begin to nest. We hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as we did recording it.

On the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast this week Nate gets the chance to talk with Dan Johnson, host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast, about his up and down season in Iowa. Dan was after a specific buck this year and was able to get on him, but the rest of that story didn't go the way he was hoping. So after regrouping, he cleared his mind and got back after it and was able to make some lemonade out of the lemons he had by taking down an absolute bruiser of a buck. We also get into Dan's newest adventure of his first ever muzzleloader purchase because his number one buck at the beginning of the season lives on and he's not done with him just yet.

Tales of the Chase: "Duece and "The Fine 9" with Brady & Landon Stockman - Ep 187

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 5 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast the guys get the chance to talk with Brady and Landon Stockman for an awesome Tales of the Chase episode. Brady and Landon have been hunting a property since they were young and have been working on hunting bucks of an older age class for a few years. This year they had two particular bucks they were after, and they were given the nicknames of "Duece" and "The Fine 9". What is cool about this story is that after Brady was able to take "Duece" down early in the season, it made the possibility of "The Fine 9" taking a dirt nap a little more likely. These are awesome stories of two brothers and the great season they have had together. Make sure and check out their YouTube channel here - Triple Beam Outdoors YouTube . Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate, Micah, Andy, and Nate's son make a trip to our buddies over at Weber Outfitters in search of a new bow.

In today's show and part one of our mini series, we talk with Adam Weber and Josh Bickmeyer about the process and what people will experience at their shop. Their goal is to give someone the time and knowledge to be able to confidently pick out their new bow and not feel rushed or like they couldn't really compare the bows they were looking at. This episode goes through the steps you would go through at Weber Outfitters when you are buying a bow. From selecticing bows and trying them out all the way through buying it. Make sure you listen at the end for a HUGE announcement on our BIGGEST GIVEAWAY ever!!!!

Physical Prep For Hunting Out West With Wilderness Athlete - Ep 161

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 6 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we take a different look at getting ready for hunting out west. People always talk about what gear to buy, map preparation and study, etc. but one thing that gets lost in the shuffle of getting yourself ready to go out west is the physical aspect of the trip. Western hunting requires a different physical type of exertion and effort, so to help us tackle that topic, Nate and Micah get to talk with Kevin Guillen with Wilderness Athlete about just that. Kevin gets into some things to do to prepare for your western trips, some of their supplements someone can use during that process, and ways to stay ready to go once you are on the mountain. We even talk about some things that don't always have to be healthy in your pack. One thing is for certain, if you were lucky enough to get a tag to hunt out west for the first time, now is the time to start getting your body right and ready. Good luck!

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 16 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate and Micah get the honor of talking with Torry Cook, owner of MFK Game calls and avid coyote hunter among other things. First, Nate and Micah talk about some of the turkey numbers in our state at the point in which we recorded. Micah also brings back the Chuck Norris jokes so enjoy that! Then, we talk with Torry about what it's like living around wild coyotes and getting to be so close to them throughout their lives. If you don't know, several years ago Torry came across some tiny coyote pups and took care of them to the point that they are ok with him and his wife's presence. He has since done it again and he is able to learn so much about these animals and record some awesome sounds as well. We then get into hunting summer coyotes and the way Torry attacks them this time of year including what sounds and sequences he uses among many other things. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

Property Planning With Habitat Works - Ep 150

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

We have an awesome show as we celebrate number 150! This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we get to talk with Dustin Williams, owner of Habitat Works, about property planning. We wanted to go through what it is like to have someone like Dustin come out to a property from the walk through all the way through the planning service, so we had Dustin come out to both Micah and Nate's hunting properties and do just that. We do our best to explain each property, talk about what Dustin noticed during the property walkthroughs, and then go through his plan for each place. We also talk about some general best practices that can relate to any property. The next step after getting a plan in place is to start the work. With the knowledge of Dustin's plan you can get to work yourself, or have him start the work as well. One thing is for sure, if you are not actively working to improve your property, it's getting worse. Dustin is a wealth of knowledge and we want to thank him for doing this very in depth show that required much more than just hitting the record button. Give Dustin a call if you are looking to better your property in any way, he can get you on the right track. Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we get to talk with the host of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast John Hudspeth about his recent elk trip from hell. John got to go on an elk trip this year after waiting for several years and the trip barely even got started when disaster struck for him.

John's horrible luck and misfortune has brought out the best in our hunting community and we wanted to shed light on that in this show. If you would like to contribute to the gofundme set up for John, hit the link in our bio or right below. If you can't that's okay too, just send some well wishes John's way. Thanks for listening.

Tales of the Chase: Jake Kaullen Brings Down A Ghost Monster Buck - Ep 136

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate & Andy get to talk with fellow Missourian Jake Kaullen about a 200+ inch deer he was able to punch his tag with this year. Jake would have never even known this deer existed if he hadn't have just went hunting one time last season. With no previous trail cam pictures of him and no one knowing of him, this deer was basically a ghost on the farm he hunts. This season was more of the same. Jake couldn't get confirmation of his existence until he was able to get one passing by series of pics on a trail cam he had placed. Then the hunt was on and the rest was history. Congratulations to Jake on a once in a lifetime deer. This story is proof that the saying is true....."just go hunting" because nothing is going to happen if you don't. Enjoy the show!

Top 5 Deer Hunting Calibers With Midwest Gun Works - Ep 131

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 8 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we get to talk with Cameron Tinker with Midwest Gun Works and have some fun with a top 5 whitetail hunting calibers list as the Missouri rifle opener is just around the corner. Cameron is a gunsmith by trade and is very knowledgeable in the firearms arena so we thought he would be a great person to put together a list of his top 5 deer rifle calibers of all time. In this show, we talk about our local youth season event and its success in the intro, then we count down Cameron's top 5 and each of us also took a shot at it. There is also honorable mentions and the worst deer hunting caliber. Remember this list is just an opinion and more for fun than anything, but does give you things to think about.

A Big Buck & A Broken Strap - Ep 130

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 1 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast we first welcome the return of our long lost host Andy! We also get the chance to talk with Chase Watson of Northeast Arkansas about one of the craziest hunts we have ever heard of. If you follow social media at all, I am sure you have seen the picture floating around of Chase getting a picture taken with a monster buck he killed.....in the parking lot of the hospital he was in. That's because Chase actually fell out of the tree he was in just seconds after he shot this buck. That is just the tip of the iceberg of this crazy story that thankfully worked out for Chase in more ways than one. Chase was able to live to tell this story with some injuries, but should recover with time. Today's show is also a great reminder to always wear your safety harness and, if you don't already, you should really consider using a lifeline as well while climbing. Congrats Chase and we are glad you are alright!

Hunting On A Budget - Ep 121

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, with the return of Andy, we get to sit down with Tracy Breen and talk about hunting on a budget. Tracy has been an outdoor writer and marketing consultant in the outdoor industry for over 20 years and became a pro, especially in his younger days, at learning how to pull off hunts he wanted to go on while on a tight budget. To start the show off, Tracy floors us by telling us about something he does that we have never heard of; turkey hunting with dogs. Then we get into things like skimping on food, over indulging on footwear, and the importance of a pack. We also get into the importance of clothes, which transitions us into a conversation about Hunworth and their new Heat Boost line of cold weather gear. Tracy has perfected the art of hunting on a budget to the point that he actually wrote a book about it. It is titled "Big Game On A Budget." Check it out on his website www.tracybreen.com.

Arron Bleise: The Fall Podcast - Ep 120

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

The week on the show the guys get to talk with Arron Bleise, host of The Fall Podcast about his two year quest after a buck nicknamed "Super Six". Some of our listeners may already know about this deer and story, but we thought the story about the hunt and recovery of Arron's deer was too good not to do another. This hunt and recovery is the epitome of seeing a hunt all the way through. Many people who shoot and injure a deer give up trying to recover it way too easily, and Arron's story is a good example of perseverance and doing everything in your power to recover the deer you shot. This story is full of ups and downs as well as some great learning points for all of us. Thanks to Arron for coming on with us and telling the story of this hunt again. Be sure to check out Arron's episode about it as well as his show with Working Class Bowhunter at the links below.

A Season To Forget - Ep 119

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the show Nate and Micah talk with returning guest Ren Witte about his 2021 season and his pursuit of a buck he nicknamed Tupac. Usually hunting stories told are that of success, but Ren's pursuit of this buck last year had to be one of the biggest series of horrible events we have ever heard from one hunt, let alone an entire season's worth. Ren had one thing after another go wrong as he tried pinning down this buck, and after one crazy or bad thing would happen to him and he was ready to move on to the next chapter, another bad thing would happen. All of the things that happened to Ren during last season were all out of his control, and can make a hunter feel very discouraged and make hunting very aggravating, the exact opposite effect it's supposed to have on us hunters. Ren's story is one that hopefully encourages the listener to keep a positive mindset and to just keep your head down and working, no matter how bad you think it may get. Ren's year last year is proof that it can always be worse. We want to thank Ren for coming on to talk about his horrid year in the pursuit of Tupac. In the real hunting world it's not always rainbows and sunshine, sometimes it's just a big shit show. Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate and Micah get to talk with Gabe Denzine about treestand placement. Gabe is a brand manager for Rivers Edge Treestands and an avid whitetail hunter with great success over the past few years. We talk with Gabe about things to consider when hanging sets like the part of the season you're planning on hunting the stand, wind directions, what type of deer you're after, and a lot more. Gabe gives great ideas to all of us to consider when we are out hanging sets, preparing trees for run and gunning, making adjustments during season, or hunting public ground. We also talk about the importance of safety and being harnessed and checking your stands out every single year. Finally, Gabe talks about some of Rivers Edge new stands and stuff to check out for this season. Thanks for listening!

Crappie & Bass Fishing With Freshwater Bite Podcast - Ep 108

Let's talk about fishing this week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast. We get to sit down and talk with Lee Kleinow, host of the Freshwater Bite and Michigan Life Outdoors podcasts.

Then, we get to pick Lee's brain about how he targets crappie and bass this time of year. Crappie and bass are definitely popping right now and Lee has some great strategies that may help our listeners out as they get out on the water. Lee is a wealth of knowledge and has a real passion for fishing and the outdoors. Be sure to check out his podcasts, which can both be found on the Sportmen's Empire network with ours.

This week on the Missouri Woods and Water podcast the guys get to talk with Zach Mixer about an awesome 2021 giant whitetail.

Zach gained access to a new piece of property last season which is always a nice surprise, but little did he know a 210" beast was living there. A season of crazy ups and downs ended with the highest high a guy can ask for when he was able to put an arrow in a world class deer. It was great to meet Zach and his family in Iowa and even better hearing this full story. We want to thank Zach for hopping on with us and for his service to his community as well.

Turkey Calling Strategy With Scott Wilper - Ep 101

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, Nate and Andy have friend Scott Wilper on to talk about some turkey calling strategy. First, we get into Scott's travels this year at calling competitions like him competing at the National Wild Turkey Federation convention grand national calling championships. He gives some cool background on how competitions go. Next, Scott gets into how he likes to call in gobblers. He goes through hen calling like plain yelps, excited yelps, cutting, and purring and clucking and how you can use those to have a conversation with a gobbler and get him into range. He also goes into the art of reading a gobbler and how he responds to your calling sequences and how patience versus overcalling can be the reason you get him to come all the way in. Another thing to consider is how using owl, crow, and coyote (in the evenings) calling can help you locate gobblers where using turkey calls might not work as well. We also coined us a new term for Scott. When guys get Doug Flutied in the elk woods, the turkey equivalent of that is now called getting Scott Wilpered!!! As always, Scott is a great listen and a wealth of knowledge in this field. Hopefully our listeners are going to be out in the turkey woods soon using some of these strategies to their advantage. Happy hunting folks!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast the guys drive over to the St. Louis area and sit down with Cameron Tinker of Midwest Gun Works to talk about the basics of an AR build.

Cameron goes through most of the things the average person needs to know when they are thinking about building an AR. From things like barrels, barrel lengths, triggers, uppers, lowers, handguards, stocks; you name it and Cameron talks about it. After discussing AR builds, Cameron and the guys get into suppressors. We discuss things like the stigma suppressors have had over time, the benefits of them, and the process of how to purchase a suppressor. Today's show is packed full of great information.

Coyote Series: Hunting With Lights With The Night Crew - Ep 96

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 8 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

For the second week of our coyote series, the Missouri Woods & Water podcast has Chris Robinson with the Night Crew on to talk about hunting coyotes utilizing lights.

First, Chris gets into how he got into hunting coyotes and the history of their show and the evolution of the different light types they have used has gone. The Night Crew is very successful using white lights hunting, but Chris talks about how that isn't necessarily what might be best for each hunter and how it really depends on what light color gives each individual hunter the best view of the coyote more than it is what is told to them. He gives great pointers on how to use lights as sort of a curtain for the shooters so the dogs can't see what is going on behind the light. We also talk about how lights are a great tool to use in conjunction with thermals and it's not really an "either or" type of thing. And, as always, we go down a few rabbit holes like Chris' favorite rifle calibers, rounds, etc. This is another great episode showing new night hunters another option that is certainly more affordable than thermals.

Tales of the Chase: Solo Backcountry Success - Ep 93

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

During our 2021 elk season, the Missouri Woods & Water crew crossed paths with our new friend Will Judson. Will was out in Colorado at the same time as us chasing his dream of harvesting an elk with his bow, and he was by himself. Will's story should be an inspiration to anyone who has excuses as to why they don't or can't do things. Will had only even been a hunter for a few years before this, had no one to go with him in a daunting place, but yet he still was determined to work hard and get it done. Well, spoiler alert, he got it done and that's where we met him. Another awesome aspect of Will's story is the friendships that were made as our paths crossed on that random trail. None of this happens if Will decided that he couldn't do it and stayed home on his couch. Get out there and do want you want to do. It's there for the taking, you just have to take it. Congrats on an amazing accomplishment Will!

Tales Of The Chase: From Deaths Door To Buck Of A Lifetime - Ep 84

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, Nate and Micah sit down with Danny Goldammer and listen to an awesome "Tales of the Chase" episode. Shortly after a bout with Covid last year, Danny had a life altering stroke that should have killed him and did leave him many hurdles to overcome. One of the things that drove Danny to get better was knowing that a 200" deer nicknamed "Tiny Ten" was out there. With a lot of work, support from his friends and family, and dedication to the sport he loves, Danny was able to hunt this season and take down a once in a lifetime deer. Danny's story should remind us all that life can be taken away from us in the blink of an eye and to cherish every chance we get out in the woods. Congratulations Danny!

Targeting Specific Deer With Blake Garrett - Ep 83

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 7 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, the guys have Blake Garrett on to talk about targeting specific bucks. Blake talks about some management things he does on his property that helps get certain deer to an age they like to see and how managing for competition has worked for him. By removing some of the younger bucks fewer make it to an older age, but Blake talks about how he thinks that increases the chances of those older deer staying at home because they are the only mature deer on the farm now. He also talks about how he conditions deer each time he enters the farm so that they associate his presence with something positive. He then gets into how he targeted a buck nicknamed Little Left and how he used his trips onto the farm coupled with what he saw on camera to get on this deer and ultimately kill him. If he didn't change what he was doing and hunted him the same way he did the year before there was no chance he was going to be successful. He also talks about mineral sites and his strategy in using those. There is a lot of interesting and outside the box ideas in this show with Blake so enjoy.

Dropping Bucks During The Rut - Ep 82

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

On the Missouri Woods & Water podcast this week, the crew breaks down our hot streak during the rut. First, our buddy and returning guest Pat Slivkov talks about taking down an awesome buck just before rifle season hit on November 11th. He battled through some adversity to get it done this year. Next, Nate breaks down how he finally caught up with a buck he has been after nicknamed Noob Saibot. Nate has known Noob for several years and has been after him and another buck all year. In our episode a few weeks ago, Nate talked about how he just couldn't seem to catch up to Noob, but on opening morning of rifle season he made a good decision that led to killing this target buck. Last, Andy tells the story that led to him being tagged out in Missouri for the year. After harvesting his early archery season deer that he discussed in our epiosde a few weeks back, he got back at it once rifle season hit. On November 15th, the third day of the rifle season, Andy came across a deer he has known, but this time noticed something very different about him. After watching him for a while, Andy decided to punch his tag on that awesome mature buck. Micah hasn't punched a tag yet, but he talks through his year so far as well. One thing is for sure, our little MWW family had one hell of a week during the rut. We hope that anyone who hasn't gotten it done so far this year can make it happen throughout the rest of the season. Good luck the rest of the year!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, host Nate Thomas gets to talk with guests Vince Houseman and Tristan Williams about Vince's first ever buck with a bow.

Another awesome aspect of this story is the close bond Tristan and Vince have formed centered around the outdoors, but has now grown into more of a brotherhood. Vince should be an inspiration to all of us, proving that you are only limited by your drive to succeed and nothing else. Congratulations to Vince on his first archery buck, certainly not his last.

Another awesome thing about Andy's story is that he filmed his hunts during that season and made a video of it. You can watch this hunt on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOp8mwoKCdI.

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 09:00:00 +0000

This week we get to highlight a great organization that is dedicated to getting kids in the outdoors. On October 12th 2015, Kansas City Missouri firefighters John V Mesh and Larry Leggio tragically lost their lives fighting a fire. Shortly after that, John's brother, Jim Mesh and one of his best friends and brother firefighters John Sirna created the John V Mesh Memorial Scholarship. John loved the outdoors growing up and all the way through his life, so Jim and John dedicated themselves to making sure his legacy lives on by getting others into the outdoors to develop that same love. This organization sponsors many different events for children and gives scholarships to young people who may be pursuing a career dedicated to the outdoors. We were honored to sit down and talk with Jim and John and learn more about this great organization and a great man.

Tales of the Chase: Regular Joe Takes Down A Giant - Ep 41

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This week's Tales of the Chase gives every whitetail hunter out there hope that monsters do exist. Our guest, Joe Robb, tells the story of how he came to harvest this giant buck that gross scored just under 213". Joe is just like most all of us. He goes to work every day and has family obligations, so hunting happens when it can. So when Joe got the opportunity to hunt a small family farm, he used his limited time as wisely as he could. He put out cameras, did a little scouting, and most importantly started hunting. The rest is history as they say. We also want to thank Joe's buddy, Gabe Peerson for coming on for some moral support, always reminding us that "he sure would have been a nice one next year!"

Congratulations Joe on a beast. Enjoy the story!

So You Want To Hunt Out West? - Ep 40

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 9 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Are you thinking about or have already made the decision to hunt out west? If so, now is the time to start preparing for your trip. Mark Livesay with Treeline Pursuits comes on to talk about just that, providing tips about preparing for your first trip out west. First, Mark tells a hilarious story about his first hunt out west and how making mistakes is part of the experience as you start your elk hunting journey. He gives two great Facebook groups that are great for new hunters, those being "Non Resident Western Big Game Hunters" and "Elk Addicts''. Mark gives all kinds of advice throughout this show, but the number one bit he has is don't let all of the little details that go into hunting out west detour you from making the leap. Just do it. The most important thing you should be focusing on is planning the hunt, things like gear are strictly secondary. Spend your time developing your hunt plan around your group's capabilities, researching areas, multiple backup areas, etc. Another thing to consider is the long game and looking at states that you may be able to hunt a few seasons down the road. We even go down some rabbit holes about drawing in certain states and he explains what point creep is. He also explains what Treeline Academy is and how it can help the new and seasoned non resident hunters alike better prepare themselves to locate elk. He also talks about other services that he likes to utilize like GoHunt, Elk 101, OnX, Gaia GPS, Toprut, and others. There is plenty of information Mark gives in this episode if you are thinking about taking the leap.

This week we had the pleasure of traveling to Duckhorn Outdoors Adventures at Duckhorn Lodge and sitting down with Walt Disney (same name, no cool amusement park) with Duckhorn Outdoors as well as Tim Worley and Tony Larson with MO Vets Outdoors.

Specifically, their stated vision is to "provide life changing outdoor experiences that enrich the lives of veterans, first responders, youth and citizens of the Heartland."

This last weekend was also their MO Vets Outdoors duck hunt, where dozens of vets got to come out to their lodge, enjoy comradery, time with their families, and have some awesome duck hunting experiences. Tony and Tim explain just how important it is for them to partner with other non profit organizations like Duckhorn to be able to provide these things to vets who need it.

This episode is full of laughs, stories, and serious conversation as to exactly why Duckhorn started doing what they do today for people who deserve an outdoor sanctuary and experience. Lastly, we would like to add that Walt, Tim, and Tony all served in the United States Military and we at Missouri Woods & Water are eternally grateful to all of them for their sacrifice of possible life and limb for each and every one of us.

missouriwoodsandwater@gmail.com (Missouri Woods & Water) — Tue, 6 Oct 2020 09:00:00 +0000

This time of year is a time when many of the bucks people are after seemingly turn nocturnal, which can be a problem when you are trying to hunt them.

Just after celebrating Memorial Day, we have Tony Larson with MO Vets Outdoors on. MO Vets Outdoors is a VFW program formed to help Missouri veterans get out and hunt, fish, and just experience the outdoors in ways they might not have the had the chance to before. They host different events like fishing tournaments, coyote hunts, goose hunts, and many others to help raise money to be able to take some lucky vets on different hunts and trips. Missouri is the first state to start a program like this through the VFW and they have already been able to host over 51 events and have taken about 151 vets out to date. The program is still in its infancy so they are off to a great start.

Tony also gets to talk about some of the awesome hunts and trips they have been able to take these Missouri vets on in the past year like turkey hunts, deer hunts, exotic sheep, and some things they are looking to do in the future. We even get him to talk about an awesome deer he harvested last year. Check out the MO Vets Outdoors page on Facebook to learn more about them and how you can help. They also have a raffle page for the organization where they raffle off cool items to help fund their events. Both pages are in the show links for ease or you can search those names on Facebook.
