On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate sits down with Jake Vogel for part 1 of coon hunting. They recorded this episode before their coon hunt. Nate and Jake connected 5 years ago rabbit hunting, and that's the year Jake got his first coon dog.

Now Jake is a serious houndsman and has multiple hunting dogs and has his fair share of experience chasing coons. 

In part 1 the guys discuss..

- Not growing up in a hunting family

- What it's like starting out deer and coon hunting

- Constant learning curve trying to become the best hunter and dog handler

- The thrill of watching your dog do what it loves

- How anyone can do this, just need to be motivated and have a willingness to put in the time and effort

Thanks Jake for joining Michigan Wild. We look forward to part 2!

Brandon and Tyler Travis joined Michigan Wild this week. They are the first set of twins to join the podcast and they didn't disappoint. Brandon is a returning guest and along with his brother they both help edit episodes for Vital Shot Productions. Vital Shot is a TV show that is on local TV here in Michigan along with the Pursuit Channel. New episodes start airing the first weekend in July. 

The guys start the episode with the backstory of Vital Shot and their roles with the company. However it doesn't take long for the conversation to steer towards all things whitetails. All the guys have experienced a change in the quality of deer hunting in Michigan over the past few years and which has them excited for the next 10 years. The topic of targeting enough does and even changing into a one buck state were covered.

Overall a great conversation with like minded hunters who love pursuing whitetails with their bows. A fun time getting to know the Travis brothers more and look forward to having them on more in the future.

Joining Nate Rozeveld on this week's episode of Michigan Wild is Ben Harrison and Brad Collings from Bowhunting League. The league started in 2015 and continues to grow each year. Ben dives into the backstory of starting the League along with his reasons and passion for the project. Going into the 10th season Ben continues to be innovative with all the sponsors, prizes, and format in order to improve the experience for all the hunters. Brad helps out with the Leagues social media pages, and is a great fit because he is an everyday dad that loves being outside and relates to the majority of hunters. He also has had a team in the Bowhunting League since 2019 so he has experienced all the growth and community the League has to offer. 

Wrapping up the conversation Nate is intrigued to hear the story of Ben's 2023 buck he shot. So Ben breaks down his hunt for his biggest whitetail. It was the first time he was able to solely hunt one deer and put all his attention/effort into it. It wasn't for the lack of effort or time on stand that allowed him to connect with his biggest deer.  

Sign up for Bowhunting League with your team by August 31st.

It's free, and there are a ton of opportunities to win prizes.

Joining Nate Rozeveld this week on MIchigan Wild is Cam Carpenter. Cam is 18 years old and has found a ton of success hunting in his home state of Michigan. Cam has had the opportunity to kill and hunt some giant deer in the mitten state, including a buck in the 180s when he was only 13 years old. Even with tremendous success at a young age Cam has stayed engaged with hunting and his passion for the outdoors is ever present. Something that is refreshing to hear for Nate as he has tried managing getting his son involved in hunting at such a young age as well. 

Cam talks about his success and gives all the credit to his father, family friends, and great neighbors. He expresses that he feels the only reason these big deer exist is because so many neighbors are on the same page with trigger control and doe harvest. Nate couldn't agree more because he has seen and witnessed the outcome of passing deer along with neighbors which allows deer in Michigan to reach an older age structure.

The guys also break down Cam's turkey season. He found some success early on in the season, by getting a double with his good buddy.  He was also able to chase after turkeys with some close friends that led to missed opportunities and memories that will last forever.

Thank you Cam for hoping on Michigan Wild!

This week's episode of Michigan Wild, host Nate Rozeveld welcomes Andy Hutchins from the Deer Camp Podcast. Andy shares insights from his recent Habitat Day on his personal property, detailing the activities and thought process behind the day. The conversation does dive into Andy's motivation for starting his podcast, the challenges and joys he has encountered and how the podcast has rekindled his passion for hunting.

Key Habitat topics include...

-Long-neglected areas and recent changes made to improve soil/timber

-The positive outcomes for whitetail deer and other wildlife

-Already seeing first hand increased wildlife activity and diversity

For this week's episode of Michigan Wild we have returning guest Tony Fellows. Nate and Tony dive into his first turkey kill. Tony was able to connect on his first turkey on his second season chasing them. Even after struggling the first fews weeks of the season Tony remained persistent and kept after them. Tony explains some of the differences between this spring verse last spring and how he enjoyed the process of filling his tag. 

After talking about some of the gear used and ways to prepare the wild turkey the guys shift their focus onto fishing. Nate recently acquired a boat and found himself in need of some updated fishing gear, especially a fly rod. Tony and Nate get into a discussion of the different gear and certain combo kits available for people starting out. All things very relatable for people wanting to start fishing or maybe getting back into it like Nate.

Rounding out the episode Tony opens up about his plans to start guiding. Something he has desired to do for quite some time. He really enjoys helping others get into fly fishing and looks forward to getting started later this year.
