  • Episode #8: All Things Soil w. The No-Till Guru
    May 9 2022

    Following the launch of his new venture, Vitalize Seed Company - https://vitalizeseed.com/, I had to have our resident no-till food plot guru Albert Tomechko on to talk about how and why Vitalize Seed came to be. For those that don't follow Albert outside of TheOhioOutdoors, he also shares his knowledge with folks via the Facebook Group Habitat Chat - by Habitat Podcast and he's a frequent guest on podcasts, including The Habitat Podcast. 

     This episode is packed with soil info in a similar way as Al's legendary No Till Food Plots - So Easy thread is. Among topics discussed, we hit on:

    • How and why Vitalize Seed Company got its start.
    • Why soil samples matter and how Albert finally convinced me to do one. 
    • Using the right seed blend to revive the soil and naturally manage weeds.
    • Not all brassica plots are created equal and here’s why. 
    • Are crimpers worth it, or are they overrated? 
    • Managing invasives and turning red clay into viable food plot soil.

  • Episode #7: Deer, Turkey, and Shoney's Fried Shrimp w. Giles
    Apr 6 2022

    In this episode, we talk with a longtime member and close friend, @giles. Somehow we managed to get him to talk about turkeys, in addition to discussing several deer hunting-related topics and my love for the 21-piece shrimp dinner from Shoney's. Giles was actually live in studio with me at my house for this one, so you'll hear more than a few cold ones popped open during this one!

    Jun 9 2021

    In this episode, we talk with a longtime member and close friend, Mike Cottis, from Jefferson County, Ohio. Mike has been hunting much of the same ground for most of his life, so he has a unique perspective on what it's like to see both the habitat and the local deer herd, evolve over time. We also discuss EHD, thermals, heartbreak, triumph, and tight-lipped turkeys.

    Mar 29 2021

    In this episode, we are joined by Alex Anderson from Clark County, Ohio. Alex and Joe have amassed a surplus of turkey hunting stories over the years and we barely scratch the surface of their history as a tag-team turkey hunting duo during this conversation. Among the topics of discussion are regular roosting locations, how habitat influences turkey hunts, our preferred tactics for sealing the deal on a lonely tom, and we recount a few of our favorite hunts along the way.
