Whitetail Rendezvous

So we are in the process of basically creating a brand. That’s what we want Sportsman’s Culture to be, you know. If you go around all these hunting shops, Bass Pro, Cabela’s, all these places, you’ll see all types of different brands with their apparel, you know, sold in these stores. And basically, the way we’re looking at it right now, we got a couple years of a lot of dirty work we have to do to get there, you know. We have to build, through networking, you know, we need to have a strong foundation before we can get there. And we’re just starting to do apparel. And we also, I didn’t mention this earlier, but we have four other companies that we work with. Sigma Outdoors, which is a scent company out of New York, Devin’s [SP] Scope, Deer:30 Mineral, which, by the way, has some of the best mineral I’ve used, and BearHug Ratchet Straps. And we do advertisements as well with them just like any other hunting show on the Outdoor Channel you see. But on the b

Yeah. So Bryant Land is basically something that I’ve been kicking around in my head. My background is in sports television and I’ve been in broadcast television and sports television for over 20 years. My daytime job is a sports television director, I direct live TV sports for Fox, ESPN, right now mainly for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Milwaukee Brewers. I travel with those teams, and then do their television broadcast as a director. So that’s basically where my background came in, and then I got into doing outdoors stuff just naturally. I grew up in the country on a dirt road, I’ve always wanted an ATV. So I finally got a chance to get an ATV and ride in ATVs and just being in the outdoors that led me into learn how to bowhunt. And I ended up learning how to bowhunt, I killed a hog. Then I, you know, went out, harvested a deer, harvest a turkey with bow. So I just kind of fell in love with it, same thing with duck hunting, as well. Tying it all back to the media side, it’s like, you know, I would start pl

My name is Tatiana Orosová. I am 26 years old and I am a huntress, a horse rider, an outdoor enthusiast and a veterinarian in one person. I am from Slovakia in Central Europe. Since I was a little child I have always had a close relationship with animals and nature. I loved all the moving creatures in the world. This is mostly because of my father was a veterinarian and a hunter. He taught me a lot about animals, nature and of course hunting. I was spending a lot of time around him when he was doing his veterinary duties, he was taking me hiking and on the hunts and explaining how everything works. He was the most passionate hunter I have ever seen. He knew everything about the hunting ground, every tree, rock, wild game and their tracks and where you could find it. Hunting was his whole life and I am very grateful he managed to pass his qualities on me and for bringing me into these two exciting worlds.

Welcome to CRCS Outdoors! If you were ever wondering who we are and what we do, here is a brief report. CRCS stands for Cuba-Rushford Central School and the outdoor program is an extension of our Fisheries and Wildlife Technology classes. Our motto is making a difference “one young hunter (fisherman or student) at a time. “ In 2011-12, the schools environmental programs were featured in national magazines and television. CRCS Outdoors was featured every Saturday morning on the Pursuit Channel with 26 original shows produced right at CRCS and highlighted graduating film editor Cody Card. However, the programming would not have made it on air without support from our outstanding sponsors KA-BAR Knives, Western & Central New York Chapter of SCI, and the TRI State Chapter of SCI! As we all know the future of our hunting and fishing heritage rests in the hands of our nation’s youth. If we do not do our part and get them out there early, research says all may be lost. New York State has been slowly

Hardcore but also conscious! My passion is the outdoors, to explore nature, forest and of course go hunting. I hunt 2-3 times per week year-round. Love to know where my food comes from. I make the most out of my life and I´m always positive. I´ve been hunting for 18 years but only the last three years this much. I quit my job as a producer at Swedish Television and are now freelance, film and content in hunting business. But nowadays more of an influencer with sponsors like Sauer and Swarovski Optik. My whole life is on Instagram @swedishvenatrix – I´m a proud hunter and to me a success isn’t always a game with me back home (but I for sure love to pull that trigger)… success can be helping next generation, a nice day by the fire, meeting friends and se new places. And being mentally strong makes you achieve what others say you can´t do. Makes med wanna try harder and go further. Of course, I want to win and of course I´m gonna give you something extra in that Extreme Huntress-show! I mostly hunt in Sweden,

I knew I had to start hunting different to have success. Having my boy was a blessing in disguise when it came to my hunting success. Now that I had a boy and full-time job I couldn’t go hunt whenever I wanted, I had to pick and choose the times to go. I had to start thinking differently about hunting and that’s when I came across Quality hunt’s vs Quantity hunts. I told myself if I wanted to have success than I needed to start hunting differently. I came across the Wired to Hunt Podcast and it really did change how I hunted.

My name is Jamie Belknap and I am a 26 year old first grade teacher from Spokane Valley, Washington. People ask me all the time how I got into hunting but I would not say I got into hunting, I would say I was born into it. From as long as I can remember hunting and fishing is what my family did. My father would pick up my brother and I from school and we would put camo on in the truck over our Catholic school uniforms. I learned how to read reading the hunter education books and got my license when I was 8. That year I missed the biggest whitetail of my life and will never forget that exact moment. The next year, I was able to successfully harvest my first buck in northern Washington and have not looked back. I have hunted all over the world and competed in the Extreme Huntress competition the last two season. My passion is getting other women and youth involved in the outdoors.

On 11/9/2008 I connected on a 184” 6.5 year old non-typical and was absolutely blown away at the size of a more mature deer. I then thought it was easy at this point but bow hunting can sure humble you quickly. I went on a long drought and wasn’t able to harvest another buck until 10/27/2015 when I was able to take a 185 1/8 gross typical 4.5 year old. I was unable to complete the task in 2016 on my target buck and in 2017 while hunting that same buck I was fortunate to harvest a different deer that went 164 7/8 gross typical at 6.5 years old but after passing “Gannon”, the buck that I would eventually take this year on 9/25/2018 that we green scored at 245 4/8 gross non-typical

When we leave this world, we leave something behind. One way or another, for better or worse. Equally true is our inheritance upon birth. I was not born in to wealth rather a rich life. My inheritance is one of skills, knowledge, and passion for the outdoors. I am fortunate for my upbringing. Most girls and women never get the opportunities that I did. I am working to change that. My personal and professional interests surrounding the decline in hunter participation and its impacts on wildlife resources has driven me to spend a significant amount of time working with hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation (R3) efforts focused on women. I relate to the Extreme Huntress competition goals through recognizing that women play critical roles in their children’s perspective and eventual participation in hunting. It has been said that you cannot plant seeds on sidewalks. To me this means that we can’t continue to pour our limited R3 resources in to youth hunting programs and expect success if we do not recru

My name is Hayden Krimmer and I am an avid public land bowhunter. I am a spot and stalk whitetail hunter. I was introduced to bowhunting by my Dad at the age of 12, the youngest age allowed at the time. Hunting is a long-standing tradition in my family, hunting public land in the big woods of northern Wisconsin. Deer numbers were sparse, and hunting was tough, but I learned the fundamentals from my Dad, uncles, and cousins in my early years. In the fall of 2013 I began going to school at Winona State University in South Eastern Minnesota. With over 27,00 acres of diverse public land within an hour’s drive, my passion for bowhunting took off. Over my 4-year stint at Winona State, I honed my skills as a whitetail deer hunter through my numerous experiences in the field and people I met along the way.

Welcome to another episode of Whitetail Rendezvous with your host Bruce Hutcheon, and I’m heading to La Crosse, Wisconsin. And I’ve got a fondness for La Crosse, Wisconsin because I attended the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, played a little football, then a little track, met my wife of 48 years. And I got a friend there, Jeff Vance, and Jeff is the Head of State for Bucks of Wisconsin, and it’s a division of Bucks of America. Jeff, welcome back to the show. Jeff was number 160-something a number of years back. So, Jeff, I’m excited to have you here and I’m sure looking forward to spending a few days hunting with you this coming year.

I got several of them bookmarked from Mark Hammer, those podcasts are always really good. And then…Mark puts down a monster…

There are three major keys to consider that go into an effective property plan. They are: -Knowing where deer bed -Where deer feed -And where deer socialize When we’ve identified these three things, we can plan seasonal access to stand locations that allow a hunter to hunt virtually undetected by deer. The ability to hide from a deers eyes, ears and nose let you hunt virtually invisible. By identifying the 3 key points listed we can improve the bedding areas, plant food plots, and add social licks and small watering holes to enhance deer activity. Once all this is complete, we can place our stands in precise locations and let the wind dictate the best stand to hunt. Epic Whitetail Habitat, LLC offers a full line of services to complete the final plan for your property, if you so choose to have us implement the plan.
