| Backstory Of The Bowhunting League | 17 Jun 2024 | 02:29:04 | |
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. If you would like to support Michigan Wild farther leave a review/ranking anywhere you listen to the podcast!

| Cam Carpenter Introduction | 10 Jun 2024 | 01:51:07 | |
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!

| Killing Hogs Recap | 29 Apr 2024 | 01:58:26 | |
Nate Rozeveld and Rod Rozeveld sit down and discuss Nate's hunt for Wild hogs in Oklahoma on this week's episode of Michigan Wild. Starting the episode off Nate and Rod actually talk about turkey hunting and why it wasn't a priority to hunt Turkeys or a desirable game to pursue. Rod growing up had first hand experience with the negative impact the wild turkey had on the farmers crop and livestock. So to him and local farmers they were a nuisance and not necessary. As time has gone on the population got more in check and seemed to alleviate the stress they put on farmers' fields and danger to their livestock. Farms and Ranches face similar detrimental issues if they happen to be in an area that has an abundance of wild hogs. Which is exactly where Nate found himself in Oklahoma. He was invited down there by John Hudspeth from the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast and enjoyed his time partaking in killing some hogs and bringing some meat back home. Some of the topics discussed around the hunting trip were... -What is the terrain like in Oklahoma -The challenges the locals face due to the wild hogs -Methods used for hog population control -Recap of each successful hunt

Brian Terry and Nate Rozeveld sit down and figure out what a Zinger is on this week's episode of MIchigan Wild. A Zinger happens to be Nate's new favorite way to fletch arrows and Brian happens to be an owner of the company so the guys were able to dive into them. Some of the questions Nate had were... - What is a Zinger? - Why do they work? - Do they stay on? - Lifetime warranty?! - Can be used with fixed/mechanical broadheads? - Use them with a tradbow? Overall Brian did an excellent job breaking down Zingers and what makes them a great alternative to traditional vanes. If anyone wants to learn more about Zingers reach out to Nate on social media or check out Zinger yourself.

| I'm Just a Bowhunter w/ DJ Riley | 26 Feb 2024 | 02:07:18 | |
This week's episode on Michigan Wild is with David (DJ) Riley. David is the co-host of The Fall Podcast with Arron Bleise and he loves chasing whitetails with his bow. Even though David and Nate both love targeting big mature whitetails they explain how they are more than just big buck killers. Not being complacent and striving to become better bowhunters transitions to hunting higher age class deer. However David has an all or nothing approach and realizes how much effort it takes each year. David does find success through scouting, being mobile in the fall, and always being a student of the game. Overall a top notch episode with an even better guest!

The Local Legend or the World's Worst Bowhunter Adam Miller joined Michigan Wild this week. Adam and Nate had a great conversation going over Adam's season, some mobile hunting gear, how the World's Worst Bowhunter came to be and why he insists on hunting with his trad bow for Michigan's gun opener. Adam did end up finding success this season in Kansas and in typical fashion for Adam it was a rodeo and got a little western. Since Adam is very involved in mobile hunting gear, Nate took the opportunity to ask him for some insight on some products. It's a great time to be in the market for gear because there are a plethora of options out there. Overall a great episode with lots of laughs and funny stories and some flat out bad luck.

Jared Vanhees with Habitat Podcast joined Nate this week on Michigan Wild. Jared is also one of the owners of Vitalize seed. Nate used vitalize seed in 3 separate plots this fall and overall has been thoroughly impressed with it. Having Jared on to talk about vitalize and shine some light on the company was something Nate had been looking forward to this off season. Jared started the Habitat Podcast 6 years ago and has worked hard at helping fellow hunters become better land managers. Jared also offers land consulting and has had the opportunity to walk multiple properties in Michigan, giving him the ability to see where property is lacking. Cover, cover, cover! The conversation does pivot to the overall health of the whitetail deer herd in Michigan. Especially with the doe problem Michigan faces. They each share some of their opinions on change and the start up of the DMI (Deer Management Initiative). Overall both guys are concerned with the direction herd management is going and do not want the opportunity to be taken away from hunters. Thanks Jared for hopping on and continuing to educate hunters so it can benefit a resource we all enjoy!

| Public Land Success | 08 Jan 2024 | 01:47:14 | |
This episode of Michigan Wild is with returning guest Drew Hasler. He had quite the season and had a few major updates since the last episode he was on. Drew ended up killing his first out of state public land buck this fall. His success stemmed from spending time scouting before the hunt and relying on past experiences to pick the right tree. Drew also had the mindset of not leaving deer to find new deer and was rewarded after his second sit in this particular area. For another first this past fall Drew was able to harvest his first big woods buck. This property is a place he has camp every year with a group of friends. It's usually very tough hunting with minimal buck sightings. However after some timber harvest and mild weather Drew was surprised to find a buck on the typical bed to feed pattern. Drew set forth and executed a plan on the last day of his hunt.

| Season Recap w/ Eric Mckay | 01 Jan 2024 | 01:56:51 | |
First Episode of Michigan Wild for 2024 is with Eric Mckay. Eric Mckay joins Nate this week recapping his 2023 fall. Eric had a stellar fall, he was able to shoot a bull elk and harvest 4 whitetail bucks between Michigan and Illinois. Eric has chased whitetails in Michigan for almost 25 years and has headed west for 12 seasons, so this fall reflected years of hard work and determination. He has learned how to strike when the time is right and stay persistent throughout the fall. He discusses some of his insights he has learned over the years that has led to having better hunts and ultimately more success. He no longer just volume hunts and isn't afraid to be mobile and try new things every year. Even with a stellar fall it came with its fair share of adversity which Eric didn't shy away from. Having a few arrow deflections and wounding deer was something Eric used as fuel to tweak a few things in his craft. Something that Nate also can relate to and along with Eric hopes encourages fellow hunters to keep working through the adversity.

| Big Woods Bucks | 19 Aug 2024 | 01:38:31 | |
On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Hunter Sparks discuss various topics related to hunting and outdoor activities in Northern Michigan. They talk about their excitement for the upcoming hunting season, the difference between hunting the bigwoods and agriculture, and the benefits of learning from podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media. They also touch on the Michigan youth hunt, trapping, trout fishing, and the Michigan elk herd. Hunter shares his experience with the elk herd and how he fulfilled his goal of finding his first elk shed this past spring, which took a lot of effort and consistency. Being in Northern Michigan, Hunter deals with a low deer density and he has found success targeting bucks where they seek refuge in the fall. He likes finding rublines that lead him to these secluded areas that prove a buck has been and likes to be there. Hunter then proceeds to set up an ambush with a ground blind, a tactic that is successful because there is a lack of suitable trees to hunt out of. This strategy has helped Hunter shoot some awesome bucks the past few years and is something Nate is looking forward to implementing this fall as well. Thank you for listening to the episode!

| Redemption! | 30 Oct 2023 | 01:10:57 | |
This week's episode of Michigan Wild is all about Nate's October buck! Drew Hasler and Mason Houston once again join and they hear the story for the first time as well. Nate goes through the full breakdown of the hunt and hits on some key topics he felt led to his success. Being mobile, having great access, sticking to a plan, and having history with a property helped him kill the 7pt. The 7pt is a deer Nate has had history with since 2019 and he has hunted this deer more than any other deer. With minimal sightings and no trail cam pics for 2 years he didn't even believe he actually shot the 7pt. After digging through years of trail cam pics there were a few characteristics that makes him believe he did finally shoot the 7pt at 7.5 years old. The guys end the podcast discussing their plans for Illinois bow camp and they look forward to recording a few podcasts for all the listeners to follow along on their first year down there.

On this episode of the Michigan Wild, Nate and Drew Hassler are LOCKED IN for the upcoming deer season! Drew has been going hard planting plots and executing a multi year plan on his property. Creating better access and establishing a hidden plot has been on the top of his list. A few unique strategies have aided in this new plot, including summer burning and creating a creek crossing. Nate finds himself in a different position with his plots this year as the property's crop rotation has been a limiting factor in 2024. However Drew and Nate discuss doing some micro plots within corn fields and standing bean fields. All with the intentions of capitalizing on shooting a buck in October. Gear is the next topic of conversation for the guys, and they both are excited for the new things they plan on using this fall including broadheads, arrows, saddles, platforms, and backpacks Each summer Nate and Drew both like to fine tune their setups to help aid in becoming more proficient in mobile hunting on their instate and out of state hunts. Talking about gear got the guys fired up for the fall as October 1st is fast approaching along with their November Kansas hunt.

| Find it Fred | 23 Oct 2023 | 01:30:15 | |
Tony Hill with Find it Fred joins Michigan Wild this week. In this episode Nate and Tony get into some hound talk, which includes chasing bears and tracking whitetails. Tony grew up in a family of hunters and was always outdoors at a young age. He tagged along with his older brothers and dad chasing rabbits with his beagles and whitetails up north at their deer camp. About 5 years ago Tony decided to get into deer tracking and then soon after he got more hounds for chasing bears, coons, and coyotes. Through this episode the guys cover hunting bears with Tony's dogs and all the dedication it takes to have a successful pack. It's a challenge Tony loves and the reward of seeing a bear in a tree and his dog's work is worth the effort. Nate and Tony finish the podcast talking about deer tracking with his hound Fred. Nate has first hand experience seeing Fred work and really appreciates having Tony as a reliable resource to help recover deer. Overall a great episode between buddies who both have a passion for whitetails and watching their dogs work in the field.

This episode of Michigan Wild is a recap of the last seven days of hunting. To kick off the first week Drew Hasler, once again joins Nate, and they both go over their week of hunting. Drew had a few high quality hunts even with the adversity he faced after opening night. He stayed strategic and ended up seeing a potential shooter and had a new target buck show up on cam this week. Nate's week was very eventful and he had some great hunts. He saw 2 target bucks enter one of his food plots on a hang and hunt Thursday night. Nate dives into the hunt he had that evening and why he felt Thursday was the night. Unfortunately it ended with an epic fail... a swing and a miss. Both Drew and Nate are looking forward to this upcoming week and are optimistic for getting on their target deer. Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant outdoor content!

| Where's Waldo | 09 Oct 2023 | 01:47:47 | |
Matt Johnson joins Nate on this episode of Michigan Wild. The two guys sit down and go over Matt's upbringing with hunting. He started hunting in the UP at a traditional deer camp. Matt and Nate also talk about his first black bear and first buck he shot at camp. The conversation leads into Matt getting more serious with deer hunting after college. He started passing deer waiting for more mature bucks. By doing so that leads us to the story of Waldo. Waldo is a buck Matt had multiple years of history with and actually rekindled Nate and Matt's friendship. Give the episode a listen to hear about Waldo and how big deer don't always bring out the worst in people. Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant outdoor content!
