Chasing Tales Outdoors Podcast

Locke Wheeler joins us once again, but this time we aren't talking about whitetails! This week we kick off our dialog on Spring Turkeys and that's because in Florida we are only a few weeks away from kicking off the season.  Locke is the Host of Strutcast, which is a podcast dedicated to the springtime pursuit of love-struck gobblers, and we picked his brain on every aspect of turkey hunting. If you are new to turkey hunting, you will find that this conversation really sets the stage for future dialog where we take a deeper dive into turkey hunting. Now if you are a turkey hunting veteran, we would love your input. What do you think about the opinions shared and who can we bring on to take this dialog further? Don't forget to enter into the Skre, T3, and Pro Outfitters giveaway that Lock tells us about.

Have you ever grouse hunted before? Ever heard or seen a grouse? Did you know that they are fans of Def Leppard?! Me either. However, after this past Saturday, I realized just how badly I want to now. These birds are remarkably gorgeous and live in some of the most beautiful terrains your mind can imagine. I drove up to Thomasville Georgia to attend the Public Grouse Film Tour which is a collaborative effort among Project Upland, RGS, and BHA to highlight the need to conserve a tremendously rich hunting history of the multiple species of Grouse in America. I sat down with Chris Jenkins of the Orianne Society, and Nathan Henderson of Cast and Blast Florida and both belong and direct the Georgia Chapter of BHA to discuss these issues more in-depth. Below are links to all of the organizations mentioned above should you be interested after our ramblings! https://ruffedgrousesociety.org/ https://projectupland.com/ https://www.backcountryhunters.org/public_grouse_film_tour https://www.oriannesociety.org/ h

In this episode, we talk with Andy May about how he targets mature whitetail bucks across the country. Andy May is a wildly successful whitetail hunter who it would seem is a mature buck magnet by the way he can find and kill mature whitetails. We begin to pull back the layers of HOW Andy approaches this seemingly impossible task, and we discuss what we all could do to improve our deer hunting abilities. Andy is an incredibly humble man, but you can tell that he is drawing on a vast body of knowledge and has way more to share than an hour allows.

What if I told you that it would take you 21 years of time, money, and effort to kill a 158" Whitetail buck ... would you do it? What if I told you that you had to fence off an area to create a food plot that cattle couldn't get to, and plant fruit trees because the property your hunting lacks oak trees? What if I then told you that you'd have to coordinate with adjacent landowners and plant food plots there so that you could become the dominant bedding for the area? Would you do it? Chase Bowman did and boy is he happy that he did. In this episode, we break down what he went through over 21 years to create a whitetail haven and the pursuit of a special deer that he had years of encounters with. That's all you need to know about this badass episode. ENJOY!

Byron returns to the show to talk about how he hunts public land whitetails in Ohio and shares a story of a 138" whitetail that he harvested last year. Byron is an excellent deer hunter and videographer and has one of the best, and most difficult, places to do both. Hailing from Ohio, he has the chance to chase some genuine giants, but it doesn't come easy. This is a year-round obsession for the Whitetail Experience crew, and last year it paid off.

This week it's all about Indiana! We talk with Ryan Roberts who is the owner of Wildside Outdoor Adventures. Ryan's passion in life is putting hunters on their buck of a lifetime and you can tell that's the case from the way he speaks about it. I honestly couldn't believe it when he told me that he barely hunts anymore and it's because he obsesses over getting people on trophy animals. Ryan is a skilled long-range shooter and we discuss the ethics of long-range shooting, and he shares his favorite story in the woods. Here's a hint, his son is a stone-cold killer. Thanks for coming on the show Ryan!

This week we break down Chase's first kill from the saddle! He set a series of first for the podcast and himself. First deer from the saddle. First big buck killed on opening weekend. First big buck killed on the first hunt of the season. First saddle kill for the podcast. Whew, that's a lot of firsts. Chase breaks down how his saddle played a role in the hunt, and honestly saved the hunt entirely, how he overcame a less than ideal shot on the animal, and what his plans are moving forward. If history is any clue, Chase's season is going to be a humdinger of a season and y'all better hold on! Don't forget that you can still get in on the Tethrd Predator giveaway!
