Making the Most of Your Meat w/ Outdoors Allie & Nick Berger | HUNTR Podcast

[@nestraiderservices]

I really enjoy your podcast, and I truly enjoy that you are starting many of these conversations. That said I disagree that 90% of the deer killed in OH are over bait piles. I also do not see eye to eye with you on crossbows. I am an archery Hunter and do not enjoy the crossbow as I did shoot 1 for 3 years due to shoulder issues. I would like to here a conversation about the littering across the hunting woods through the tree stands that are left everywhere and the blinds that are erected across the nation.

Great pod, This was something to cheer me up considering this came out the week after rifle here in PA and I found out at least 3 deer we passed all year got shot by some neighbors... I have been mapping out new plots, cuttings and switch plantings for the past week trying to improve the property, and I am not afraid to say it, the offseason here in late winter through spring can be a great time and almost as enjoyable as hunting itself especially when the enjoyment comes 6 months after those improvements when you got your hands on a target buck. Keep it up boys!

[@cjr4497]

The best meat on a deer is the front shoulder. It by far the most moist. Stuffing and roasting the whole front shoulder is something I look forward to on every deer. Being a cajun, this means browning the shoulder roast on the stovetop first, then adding the trinity to the pot, and then slow roasting in the oven at 300 until the meat is falling apart. This process creates a gravy with roast that is served over rice. Shredding the roast for tacos, tamales, or sandwiches would be another option. Most of the rump is for ground meat and jerky.

[@BrokeBoysOutdoors]

I swear I said this…. the white oaks made my deer taste way way way better!!! Not so many other oaks but a ton of white ones so I can agree.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Oh very interesting! I know they say mule deer on alfalfa taste better than the ones on sage

[@jon_because]

I'm the same wanting a hunting camp. When I grew up we went up north in Michigan and 10-15 ppl were at great grandparents house for rifle season. Now it's only me my brother and grandpa with my 12 yr old daughter. We still enjoy it and my daughter has some of her favorite memories from it but I wish it was more ppl or family involved.

[@HUNTRPOD]

It’s not going to be easy but we can make it happen. Put it on our shoulders and we will enjoy it

[@jeremycavaretta1035]

Another great one! Became a big fan of outdoors Allie and Nick after the first time you had them on your podcast. Love what you guys are doing and you continue to deliver on amazing guest!

[@Verticalbowoutdoors]

We got our book at a local bass pro and my wife is so pumped about it. Thanks for the great change and different excellent recipes

[@HUNTRPOD]

It’s really awesome

[@CountryWheels711]

I’ve only ever been deer hunting 4 times and I got my first deer ever earlier this year and it was an 8-point. Getting him shoulder mounted.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hell yes

[@the_quest_outdoors10]

watched a vid on making money. applies to big deer "focus" on the one area that has the best chances to get the deer you want. stop trying to chase them. maybe change each year but pick an area and focus that season on that spot. that way you can hit those cold fronts and not get stuck on a trip with bad weather. and across the midwest the rut is very close to the same time across the area pick your spot! maybe if you go to texas you can't try to jump around for the rut

[@juliansmith7950]

Try aging full Quarters in big zip lock bags in the fridge. Suck the air out. Great temperature control and no rind to trim off. Up to 2 weeks for shoulders and necks. totally unnecessary for backstraps, Hind quarters about a week is perfect. Don't debone it until aging is done.

[@lisaannaallen6283]

no baiting in iowa but you can nock down an acre of corn 200bu x54lbs =12000 lbs of corn that a big bait pile😁😁😁😁

[@jon_because]

The trick to enjoy cell cam photos and still get excited is to be not as good a hunter. I never see the deer in person that I get on camera so I get to enjoy both sides 😂

[@proudlyamerican2764]

Same,have a 150 class 10 point in 130 class are giants region too. Frustrating but cool as hell . Maybe musket season I'll catch up to him but El zippo eyeball sightings so far and 40+ pics many in daylight

[@jon_because]

@@proudlyamerican2764 had a 150ish 20 yard shot from one of my stands on oct 28th at noon when I was in a different stand 185 yards away. Had tons of activity that day and a great hunt so I got to enjoy my sit and the picture I got later. If I went to the stand he showed up he pry would've winded me and then I wouldn't have gotten the sit I did and the pic. Of course would've loved to get him but there's still the excitement he could be out there

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hahaha no shit

[@danchamberlain9434]

Great show guys. Deer camp like that would be cool!

[@BrokeBoysOutdoors]

Oh boys yall made me a bigger fan of yall!!! I can say I agree with y’all 100% on crossbow opinion. I do not like having the crossbow conversation because I did not start hunting in Ohio until I was 32 and felt most comfortable with a crossbow with that being said I transferred to a compound bow the very next year this year. I hunted in Texas when I was young but strictly with a 243 and had no desire to use a bow or a slug gun when moving to Ohio. Now 34 I’ve killed two deer this year with my long bow and I couldn’t be prouder. Unfortunately I had an issue with my longboat just a couple weeks ago and had a opportunity to hunt the other day there I use my crossbow because my longboat was out of commission. this will be my second year hunting so through y’all’s theory on crossbow I would still legally be allowed to use it. With just now getting into archery hunting and learning the issues and problems that you will run into I will be buying a back up compound bow this winter, so I will not have to use a crossbow if anything happens to one of my compound. Long story short, I would stand on that hill with you for the crossbow regulations.

[@jon_because]

During the Illinois live I was telling u guys about my first shot with bow not going well but gave me the shakes. Since then I got my first bow kill and only a 4 point but that is my most special deer over any I've gotten with rifle over the years.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Freaking awesome! Congrats

[@bassamaticfpv4354]

In another popcast they interviewed a guy who went blind from parasites in deer meat or while processing the deer. He said the meat needed to be frozen for 2-3 weeks before cooking and eating. You guys do that ? I didn’t before seeing that guy talk about it.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Really!? No I’ll cut it out and eat it right away 😂

[@chadainlay5030]

Hey Huntr team, could you do a podcast about late season looking for bucks, on public with pressure if possible. Thanks!

[@matthewkope6936]

Good show fellas!! Going bowhunting Friday, only doe tag left

[@HUNTRPOD]

Can’t wait to stack some late season does!

[@myerdixon9733]

Viewer question for Gary if you have him on: Why are states so resistant to making changes that make hunting harder (like apr) when PA is PROOF that they won’t lose hunters and quality/health/hunting of heard improves?

[@aaronvaught8027]

Best way to get deer meat to taste good is when pulling the meat out the freezer. Slice he bottom of the package. Allow 18 to 24 hrs of thawing in the fridge allowing the blood to completely run out. Then u can cook season marinade and so on. Stop being a noob and be a legend 🙌

[@jordanhill5072]

Im from Wisconsin and around that 2010 time frame we had earn a buck so you had to shoot a antlerless deer to get a buck tag. People were slaughtering anything doe fawns buck fawns anything to get a buck tag.

[@ScottPatton-p4k]

The PA Game commission ruined the camp atmosphere. Saturday was the gun shopping and grabbing last minute things. Sunday was going to neighboring camps sitting around a fire outside and watching/listening to the Steeler game. Now you have to hurry your way to camp Friday if you have to work Friday then wake up and hunt. There is no more relaxing and easing your way into the Monday opener.

[@HUNTRPOD]

It absolutely changed everything we did for so long

[@rhettjet849]

I'm about to purchase a new archery set up. My old bow was stolen. Im 35 and have a metal plates and 8-12 pins in both my wrist.. I can still draw a vertical bow, but when it's cold I have extrem pain in my wrist. I worry about holding a draw or getting pain during a draw. Should I try and tough it out with a vertical bow or should I get a crossbow and permit..and any suggestion on brands. My last was an alpine and was my first and only full size compound I've ever owned.

[@brandonnn9543]

Just started hunting last year and till trying to get my first buck. There are 2 mounters that come to my corn pile right below my tree stand every night for the last 2.5 weeks. How the heck can I get them to come during shooting light?

[@efngepic2363]

Find the direction they are coming from, combined with how long it takes them to get from bed to food. Set up closer to bedding until you catch them on their feet. Example, the deer are coming in to your bait around 1 hr after dark, from the North heading South. The bedding area is north probably 2-300 yards, isolated from doe bedding. Stick to transition zones/ edges.

[@brandonnn9543]

@@efngepic2363 the only problem was it’s not my property. Also I got one of them last December.

[@herbie1220]

I think Nick had a pretty good charge on!

[@proudlyamerican2764]

My boy and girl are going to earn they're deer/turkey etc. I ruined my wifes interest into deer hunting by making it sitting on a field edge in comfortable chairs easy quickly leading to uninterested! She was excited now wont go after a season of me thinking i was doing right by dumbing it up, i regret it so bad 3 years later and see no reprisal. Smh i for sure fell in love with the great game by trial and error then success and just love the bush. 4 yr old and 6 yr old both caught theyre own fish from yaks this past summer cast,catch reel the whole thing by themselves. Wife loves fishing and after this summer my 4yr old son says " im gonna catch a big fish like momma!" Smh 😂

[@HUNTRPOD]

Nice! It’s a fine line because we don’t want to lose interest, but it’s absolutely the right way

[@BrokeBoysOutdoors]

I want to buy this for my wife but not sure if it would be a good thing or a shot at her lol. Not that her cooking is bad at all but just to let her try to cook it a different way.

[@mountainflower1791]

I hunt on the other side of pine knob never heard anything about a 800 lb bear ...good shit guys

[@HUNTRPOD]

No shit? Someone sent me a pic, I’ve heard a big one out there but that was a giant

[@mountainflower1791]

Also ginsenger's ain't crazy I've hunted it yrs ago but it's generational your dad or grandpa had to set the trails and spots for good success ✌

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

Allie quite the entrepreneur.

[@the_quest_outdoors10]

and hunters used to go through stages of hunting at first you are happy to kill a deer then after you get an amount under your belt then you think ok now i want to wait for a bigger buck. but not everyone is there.

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

Strange for me...maybe 10 years ago I got bit by a tick in Delaware. Got Lyme disease. Then would almost throw up just thinking about a hamburger. Fast forward too 2 years ago in Ohio. Friend brings a Delaware deer to eat and was great. Shot a deer in Ohio got it right too the butcher. Opened a pack could not even stand the smell.... I don't know if the heavy tick issue here puts that taste in the meat?

[@the_quest_outdoors10]

thats where the kids come in eventually

[@patrickfarris8048]

Firm believer in aging deer. 10-15 days in walk In cooler at 36 degrees. Let's the blood drain out of the meat.

[@jeffcoe819]

Just wanted to give yall heads up on a crazy story coming out of my home state of Virginia a guy just got bust for poaching 3 bucks in the city of Richmond and posting them to facebook saying he killed them in different counties and the biggest had 29 points scores well over 200 inches the deer was famous here known as Hollywood named after the cemetery he lived in called Hollywood cemetery not all the details are out yet but it’s a crazy story you should be able to find info on it a photographer had been taken pics of him for 4 years and was in touch with whitetail properties sending them pics of him

[@HUNTRPOD]

Oh wow, I feel like I saw the Hollywood buck online

[@jeffcoe819]

@@HUNTRPOD you might have he’s been on facebook a few years and this guy tried posting it for a county 70 miles from where he was then come to find out he’d already killed 2 other bucks there this year and gotten away with it

[@ItsAllGravy0123]

Cell cams has to be the most controversial topic the hunting community has ever experienced in my opinion. I'm yes, no, up, down. Same with thermal drones lol technology isn't ruining things and it isn't bettering things its straight up just making things insane. Strange and dark times are ahead of us. As they always have been.

[@85Bow]

850 baby

[@americanwildlifetaxidermy6207]

1000 acres and can’t teach your kid to hunt? I don’t believe for a second that you can’t do traditional styles of hunting on private property without baiting even in a state that allows baiting. If that is the case than I believe the issue is with the hunters skill level and not the magical corn pile that ever deer within 20 miles is just walking right into to die.

[@merriman82494mm]

Please let each other finish their sentences

[@the_quest_outdoors10]

also the kid thing believe me you will enjoy the results of teaching your kids to hunt. another reason fewer hunters adults that only think about themselves. don't want to be bothered with kids? and then wonder why no recruitment?

[@tasaman]

While this young lady may be becoming a outdoorsman, i believe she was faking it to make it. Could i be wrong? Sure. I dont think i am. I'll stick to Hannah Barron's and Kaitlyn Maus thatlived the life first. I bet Allies husband is like this is bullshit she gets 4 times the views and he's been living it since childhood.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Couldn’t be more wrong man. Nothing wrong with Hannah or Kaitlyn, but I can tell you Allie truly loves the outdoors. Really cool to see how coming from a non hunting and fishing background, she can be so consumed. I’d be more concerned with the other women “outdoor” influencers out there making money by shearing hunting gear and showing off their tits. This is a terrible image for the true women influencers

[@BrokeBoysOutdoors]

I started watching Allie only a couple months ago but I can agree she’s not faking anything!! You should go check her channel out and watch her content before making a statement like that. She has a deep love for the outdoors and that’s clear threw her content.
