Life Changes and Making Impacts

The Pro Talk Outdoors guys have made no secret how fond they are of fall planted food plots, particularly the Deadly Dozen.  However, each year they get more and more fond of clover blends because of their versatility, relative low maintenance, and outright production throughout the year.  They bring on co owner of Real World Wildlife Products, Wes Delks, to dive into the proper steps to prep for a clover plot, establish it, and maintain it for both new, and already existing areas.   Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

How Clover Can Be Your Most Versatile Food Plot

It's no secret the guys have their favorite mineral, but they spend this episode discussing why getting something with a high nutrient value is what's important.  They explain why reading your tags, labels, and doing your homework is a worthy investment of your time, and can pay dividends in the long run.  In the interest of long run, they also discuss timing of getting supplements out on your properties, and how long you should expect to put in that work before you see benefits, and just where the impacts are felt the greatest.   Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

Mineral Time!

Dave and JP are avid anglers, as any listener would know.  They're also amateurs, which they're not afraid to admit.  However, only one of the two would be eligible to fish in the new Bass Pro Shops U.S. Open which was just announced by Outdoor legend Johnny Morris, and his iconic Bass Pro Shops brand.  Our two hosts dive into the pluses, minuses, schedule, and rules for the new series...as well as who may have an advantage to take home the one million dollar grand prize. Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

New Amateur Fishing Series backed by Outdoor Legend Johnny Morris

Dave and JP are joined by Matt Drury of Drury Outdoors, and one of the pioneers of the revolutionary "Deercast" App that was designed to give everyday hunters a deeper analysis of their local hunting based on current conditions.  Matt discusses the first meeting in which the idea was pitched, why the Drury's felt like they needed to release something like this, and what "Deercast" and other similar hunt predictors can bring to your day to day hunt planning, especially for a hunter with limited time to spend in the woods. Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

Dialing In Your Approach With Hunt Predictors Like Deercast

Deadly Dozen from Real World Wildlife Products, a fall planted plot blend containing twelve different seed types, has become the favorite staple every fall for Dave and JP.  This year they decided to do their own experiment with the mix by planting two plots, side by side at the front end, and the back end of the recommended planting window.  While the experiment won't be complete until the bell tolls on the 2020 season, they've noticed some interesting behavior trends from the local wildlife in relation to these dueling plots, and have managed to capitalize on some of those patterns.   Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

Dueling Deadly Dozen Experiment

The Pro Talk Outdoors team was joined by co-host of the Chasing Giants Podcast, Terry Peer, to discuss in depth the format of his ongoing cell camera test.  Peer grabbed six of the top selling cell cameras on the market and has begun putting them through the most intensive, and unbiased test available for public consumption.  The results have been interesting, and may help you identify which features are best for you, and may not be best for your neighbor.  As a cherry on top, Terry discusses the growth of Chasing Giants, his race to rehab a knee injury, and a crossbow explosion that cost him a deer over 160".  Catch it all on Pro Talk Outdoors! Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

Putting Cell Cameras to the Test

Louisiana hunter Justin Lanclos had a 'fall' to remember a few years ago, and one that nearly could have taken his life.  Lanclos was fortunate to land correctly, and even more so that his nine year old son was with him to get them out of the woods.  He shares this harrowing story and how he has parlayed that incident into a career in the industry, and a presence with the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation.  President of the TSSA Glen Mayhew also joins the show to discuss how accidents like Justin's have become increasingly less common since the inception of the organization.  Get the scoop on Pro Talk Outdoors! Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast

The Luckiest 'Fall' of All

Interviewing the cream of the crop in the outdoor industry is nothing new to Dave and JP, as that's the platform Pro Talk Outdoors was built on.  It's not often, however, that a pro level outdoorsman on their show brings with him a Big League level talent, experience, and resume from a professional sports.  The boys were pleased to welcome the founder of Taz Timbers Outdoors, professional relief pitcher Tony Zych.  Zych spent time detailing the inspiration for his family based show, and the mental state that drives that content, as well as his path back to the "show" with the New York Yankees.  Catch it here! Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast
