EP:122 | We Apologize to the Squirrel
This week we humbly apologize to the squirrel. Across the whitetail’s range, our collective love of deer and deer hunting has made many of us forget about what once was a very strong hunting tradition. We don’t want to spook our deer, so we’ve backed away from roaming the woods in pursuit of bushy tails. Squirrels are a challenging target, live in beautiful hardwood habitats and can be fantastic table fare. On this podcast, super squirrel hunter George Brown helps remind us what we have been missing. Warning: whether you’re a seasoned hunter, or are just getting into the sport – this one will make you want to break day leaning against an old oak tree with a .22 rifle by your side. Be sure and check out the outstanding squirrel and dumplings recipe in the show notes. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

EP:120 | Hunting Accidents Can Happen
This week we have three uniformed Mississippi game wardens in the studio, reminding us to be safe this hunting season with stories of other hunters who weren’t. After years of repetition it’s easy to become complacent, get in a rut and take for granted the things we need to do to stay safe in tree stands and around firearms. This podcast is a shocking reminder to wear your safety belt, unload your weapon before you cross a fence, let someone know where you’re going, wear a life jacket in the duck boat, and much more. It’s one you will want to share with younger and new hunters and a great refresher for the seasoned. Listen, Learn and Stay Safe. Show Notes: We want to thank our guests Ricky Barry, Jake Guess, and Marshall McCraw for making the trip to West Point, MS to join us in studio.

EP:116 | Why a Gamekeeper Needs a Suppressor
This week we have an interesting discussion about how suppressors can help Gamekeepers manage their properties. We have always preached how important it is to reduce pressure and noise pollution and suppressors can really help a Gamekeeper do that. Especially when having to harvest a high number of does to meet management objectives. The guys from Nosler and our own local expert explain the whole process to us from how to purchase, the geometry of sizes, how suppressors work, what ammo works best for hunting, subsonic ammo and can they help save your hearing. Do you have a lot of does to shoot? Have a small place and worry about pressure? Just like the idea of being quieter? This informative podcast is for you. Listen , Learn and Enjoy.

This week we have a lot of fun with our guest Gerald Swindle. He’s a well celebrated professional bass fisherman, but is also a rabid Gamekeeper who intensively manages properties in multiple states. We discussed improving the hunting, habitat and value of his properties in between his funny comments. You just have to hear his story about qualifying for The Bassmaster Classic with an upset stomach. If you don’t laugh, something is wrong with you. Juxtaposed against his funny stories, Gerald also may have made the most poignant comment said so far on the Gamekeepers podcast. It had to do with wearing camo and it really hit home.

EP:114 | The Do’s and Don’ts of Feeding Whitetails Explained
This week we discuss a topic that can be polarizing. No doubt feeding and the use of feeders is rampant across the whitetails range. Where legal, feeders can help a Gamekeeper’s efforts to attract and hold wildlife on a property, BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE in a way that minimalizes potential problems. There are right and wrong ways. In an effort to learn, we have Dan Moultrie discuss what he believes works, and he gives tips that Gamekeepers can utilize. Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland also joins us to help ask the best questions.
