In episode 78 Thom, Nick and I each tell one of our most memorable hunting stories. To set the stage I asked the guys to join me to tell one hunting related story that means a lot to them and not much else. The stories each one brought to this episode did not surprise me in the least and just affirmed for me the sort of hunting buddies I choose to share the woods with. If you are looking for “Whack em!” or “Smoked him” stories then you will be disappointed. But if you want genuine hunting experi...

In episode 76 I sit down with some one on one conversation with Jerry Russell of Russell Outdoor Guides for a timely conversation about game recovery. With fall hunting seasons either already starting or just around the corner I thought it would be a good time to talk about what to do after the shot and I have come to respect most things Jerry has to say about big game hunting so he was the perfect choice for someone to have this dialog with. Whether you are a seasoned bowhunter or are just gett...

In episode 75 Nick and I welcome fellow traditional bowhunter Pat Kelly to the show. The original plan was to cover all hunting topics with Pat but we had such a great time listening about his recent hunt in Africa that we never made it to his successes here in the states…..so look for another episode with Pat in the future. But for this week it is all about hunting the Dark Continent for Cape Buffalo and Plains game. We think you will enjoy this awesome conversation with Pat. Please subscribe ...

In episode 74 I sit down for a fantastic conversation with fellow Traditional Bowhunter Peter Juulsgaard of Denmark! We discuss his journey as a Traditional Bowhunter, how bowhunting in Denmark is different than here in the states and how it is so very much like hunting whitetails. For those that do not know Peter, he owns a fantastic YouTube channel where he posts traditional archery and traditional bowhunting videos. This is how I ran across Peter and highly recommend you check his channel out...

In episode 73 I sit down with Traditional Bowhunter David Tetzlaff.

In episode 72 Nick and I discuss the current Saddle Hunting resurgence and as a hunter who has used a saddle a bit over the past year I try to answer some of Nick’s questions about use, effectiveness and it if is as good as some would have you believe. I love hunting from a saddle but at the same time I do not feel it is the “one size fits all” solution that some would have you believe. In this episode we discuss pros and cons, cover saddle terminology and talk about both equipment needed for s...

In episode 71 Nick and I each compiled a list of the top ten things we would recommend everyone should do between now and the start of deer season, which for some of us is just over one month away. We reviewed our separate lists and then compiled them into our final list and discuss them at length here. For budding traditional bowhunters I feel this is a great way to check your preparedness for the upcoming season, for veterans maybe a chance to look at something differently or perhaps hear some...

Episode #65 welcomes Brian Fleschig of Mad River Outfitters to the show. Brian and Mad River have one of THE best YouTube channels for Fly Fishing guides and “How To’s”. His simple and down to earth style of explaining everything fly fishing from the basic to the complex is second to none. When Nick first began getting interested in trying his hand at Fly Fishing I immediately shared the Mad River You Tube channel and at the same time started wanting Brian as a guest of the show. Mad River also...

In Episode #64 I am joined by The Hunting Beast himself, Mr. Dan Infalt. We chat about deer hunting, catching wild critters, Dan’s dedication to pursuing big bucks and some of the hardships and sacrifices he has made to do so and we wrap up with a little dialog around hunting products and why you really do not need the gimmicks to be successful. I had a great time speaking with Dan and look forward to sharing a real campfire with him one day in the future. If you are not familiar with Dan then ...

In Episode #60 I am back with Jerry Russel discussing a topic Jerry is passionate about. Making your dream hunt a reality. I heard Jerry give a presentation to Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia several years ago and the following year made a dream hunt of mine happen that I had been wanting to do for over 30 years. If you have a dream hunt that seems out of reach then you want to listen to this. Even if you don’t, this one has some great dialog and useful information. Enjoy! Also, be sure to ch...

In Episode #58 We are back after a brief hiatus and this is a good one!!! I had the great fortune to sit down face to face with Jerry Russell of Russell Outdoor Guides to discuss a passion of Jerry’s. Hunting the North American Black Bear. We spend a little time talking about hunting bears over bait but then get into the method we have to use in Georgia of hunting them without bait or dogs. It was a great conversation and I learned a few things as I am sure you will as well. Enjoy! This episode...
