Good podcast Jonathon! I agree with you. The UN can pound sand. I will never stop hunting and eating wild game. I also agree with you on the prices at the store. So out of hand right now. It is tougher at our place right now since my wife walked away from her job since the jab was mandated for her to keep her job. Strange times we are living in.

Finally caught up on the last three podcasts. As always, well done guy’s.

Was going to ask what the Meatgistics changes we’re going to be. Sounds good.

Nice job @Jonsey. Nice to put a face to a name.

Who’s this Austin dude… LOL. Been awhile.

Testing to see if posting works

processhead thanks

Above and below… Interesting.

Jonathon
You mentioned Louie’s finer meats. From where? There is one of the same name very close to me. They’re stuff is awesome.

Nice job guys!

Although it has nothing to do with what we do on this site, I just want to thank you for bringing up and mentioning our armed services. The debt we owe them is immeasurable.

YooperDog that sounds way to familiar. I was introduced to Bulgogi by Korean Marines at Mountain Warfare school in Pohang, along with lots of OB and Soju. In PI it took alot of alcohol to get the balut down. I would rather eat the grasshoppers again, than try the balut.

I saw an armadillo on the side of the highway the other day. The wildlife is going crazy around here.

GWG8541 That is an awesome story! bocephus He still can’t taste much from Covid and he knew how badly I wanted to eat them so he was polite. and allowed me to gourge myself. I gave a few to some people here who have never had them, or had not had them in a long time to enjoy.

Meatgistics Podcast: Farming Technologies

Austin, congrats on the on-the-way “lil-salty”. I’m catching up on all the old podcasts from yesteryear, every night, sitting on the front porch sipping on two fingers of bourbon/wiskey. I really enjoy listening and learning from you two, and your guests.

I have only seen one bear and from a distance. But just being in the same area is disconcerting.

Yay, very expensive and if it was my money I probably wouldn’t do it but since Walton’s was paying I was happy to try it! Just kidding, I try not to abuse the budget but this was just too interesting to do!

Razer synapse not working

I’ve never used their pellets, I generally use bbqers delight, but their grills really are a good product. I don’t own one, but I work part time at a dealer, and we have a burn unit we use to cook on, and I would like to trade in my GMG for one, if my wife ever relents, lol.

there is a wine and brewing supply store that also has cheese making supply’s , I think they had classes before this pia virus

This was a cool podcast.

Just kidding! In all honesty, what Jonathon says around the 40 minute mark isn’t a really well-crafted idea, it is something that he has played with in his mind a few times but hasn’t spent enough time pulling apart to see if he really likes it!

Jonathon had Scarlet Fire from Tight Head Brerwing a great clean red ale at 5.6% alcohol it is a perfect beer for meals or sitting around and drinking with your buddies.

Kobe Burgers vs Normal Burgers

Since we had John, who is a Cowboy on we decided to see what the actual difference is between a Kobe Burger and a regular 80/20 burgers. We made burgers for each of us and then let Patrick give them to us without us knowing which is which. Their is a clear difference in the taste between the two. Now, you can see it click in my mind that oh no, we might have guessed wrong! Enjoy us being bafoons.

John is a modern day Cowboy (if you couldn’t tell from the hat!) that spends the vast majority of his time out on his horse surrounded by nothing but cattle and pasture land. He talks about doing some quick veterinary medicines from shots to helping birth them. He talks about how crazy his busy season is and surprisingly that poachers are still an issue for Cowboys. He also talks about his god and tells a quick story with a badger.

rie IPA Powerful Pils Tighthead Brewing

This week we dug into a few beers from Tighthead Brewing who were nice enough to send us some samples! Tighthead is a Rugby position and these beers clearly have a manly willingness to fight in them, more than Austin could handle for sure, Jon was of course perfectly fine.

Austin had the Irie IPA and he went on and on and on about how good it was but who knows what goes on in his head. Seriously though, even Jonathon enjoyed a sip of this after the podcast and that is high praise for an IPA from him!
Jonathon tried the Powerful Pils a pilsner that greatly pleased his Czech roots! This was what we want when we try pils, a little bit of a bite without being overpowering. This was a well-crafted beer without too much of a bite but with plenty of taste!

Seriously though, these beers were WELL worth the wait and I highly urge you all to look for these beers in your local stores. I know the IRE IPA is available here in Wichita stores and we are hoping the others make an appearance soon! Go buy some so more places send us free beer!

Travis Frank

Travis is a Fishing Guide - Television Producer - Radio Host - Writer - Speaker - Photographer - Husband - Father according to the about Travis section of http://trophyencounters.com/ (@austin we probably need an about Jonathon section of Waltonsinc or Meatgistics, no?) and has been a staple of the Minnesota outdoor scene for decades. He began as a fishing guide after other fishermen realized he was consistently pulling trophy size Muskies and Walleye. He did that all through High School and College and that lead him to Ron Schara productions and started him on his current path to superstardom

We really had a great time with him and will be doing more with him and the Ron Schara shows the future! The next time we get up to Minnesota we are going to make sure we schedule it to a time where we can take advantage of his guide services, it has been too long sine Jonathon has caught anything bigger than a Large Mouth!

Brittany Waldman Beautiful Beverages Jon went back to the well of Crane Brewing and had Thanatos, it is the most complex sour beer he has ever had and at 11.5% it’s just an amazing taste. Some of the port comes through the taste and while it does have a stronger alcohol taste it isn’t a burn. Austin had some Azzacacia Hazy IPA and he described it as a light beer IPA. He said he really liked it but it sounds terrible to me! Guest

Today we spoke to Brittany Waldman from Pass It On Outdoor Mentors! Brittany is the Director of Field Operations- Pass It On- Outdoor Mentors and is a Mentor herself. She has was matched with a “little” and found the experience rewarding, Mike Christensen (who has been on the podcast as well) noticed the love she had for this cause and was smart enough to bring her on full time. Brittany is someone who has figured out that helping others selflessly is one of the most self-rewarding things you can do! She has made it her mission to take High School aged kids who shoot trap off the trap shooting range and into the field.

We all need to try to be as great of an ambassador for hunting as she is! We had a lot of fun on this one!

Tex_77 No, sadlt Brett from SCA had to cancel. However, we did do a taste test of 6 different seasonings for steaks and let our salespeople and more importantly Austin and I determine which was best. We then drank a bunch and talked about crazy/disgusting foods, so, one of my favorite podcasts ever!

PapaSop Yeah, we are absolutely going to have him back on, great guy and great organization. He and I were kicking around ideas for that civil service topic after the podcast like we were going to fix the country somehow!

Jon had “gettin’ Tiki With It” from Left Hand Brewery and like everything they do it was interesting and pretty darn tasty!
Brandon had an Amber from Alaskan Brewery
Bruce had Summer Fest from Sierra Nevada

Episode breakdown

For the first episode without Austin I think this went really well. Bruce and Brandon were great guests and great ambassadors for the National Wild Turkey Federation. We talked about everything from Turkey hunting in Texas to Brown Bear Hunting in Alaska! Some of Bruce’s Bear stories will absolutely make you shudder either in fear or excitement. As soon as he brought up Bear hunting I knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate again until we talked about that. I have a dark obsession with anything that is capable of hunting humans! And as Adam Greentree says “mate, monsters are real, and their called Grizzly Bears! It’s not their fault but they are monsters!”

@Retired-RailRoader Yeah a good amount of people seem to be going to that, I think I first became aware of them back when we were first trying to use the automotive sponges to increase relative humidity in our smokers but still haven’t gotten my hands on one and played with it.

Thanks for the shout out on my post of A Walton’s Sausage Weekend.

Retired RailRoader A.K.A. John Belvedere

Jonathon I’m glad to see that you enjoyed the Malort as much as I hoped you would!

Great story and Mike is absolutely right. A mentor can have a huge impact on a youth. I’ve seen it many times as an adult leader with the BSA when my boy’s were working there way through this program. I haven’t done any outdoor mentoring but this was basically the same thing. But then again I was there for my three when it came to hunting and fishing.

As Mike said it’s an amazing feeling when you get the feedback and see a youth grow, learn and mature. You know that perhaps you helped this person to succeed.

YooperDog I will try that!

Thanks guys that is nice to hear and I will pass along compliments to Dylan, we have another guest this week and we got into some topics I think you guys would be interested in from a commercial perspective!

Took my wife to one on our last trip down to TX in Feb, had to coax her out with the promise of stopping on our way back home. That is one big fuel depot with lots of distractions to keep you spending $.

PapaSop I think Tex_77 is right, bold needs to be dead serious and italics will be snarky sarcasm…maybe italics with capitals?

JPAP Yup it is a 50#. I loaded it with 55 lb of meat/seasoning/water/cheese and additives and it fit but I don’t think it would have done a good job of mixing everything so I did 2 smaller batches. Today I am going to try to get the smallest amount I can get it to work with. If this thing can do 10 lb then I’d recommend it for anyone but I have a feeling 15 is going to be the minimum.

Jonathon Obviously that had to be it. LOL! Those orange guys will do anything.

Jonathon Will do!!! I agree with you on cheddar cheese and apples. Growing up in the mid-west you melted a slice of cheddar on a slice of appple pie. If you were eating it for dessert you would top that with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Covers most of the food groups.
