Podcasts about Bowhunting

Josh's season takes a big turn as he navigates life changes, long nights in the leather shop, and limited time in the woods. But when the rut fires up in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, everything comes together—just not the way he expected. After dogs blow through his setup and chaos erupts on the farm, Josh finally gets his chance at a mature hill-country buck!

In this episode of the Live Wild Podcast, Remi Warren shares his experiences and insights from the hunting season, focusing on Thanksgiving Day traditions and the importance of archery mechanics. He discusses the significance of practice and repetition in bow hunting, emphasizing five key tactics that can lead to success in various hunting scenarios. The episode also highlights the role of essential gear from Mountain Tough and Yeti in preparing for hunting adventures.

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast we tackle the subject of the moon - does moon phase, or position, really cause bucks to move and potentially give hunters an edge? We talk to several high profile hunters (John Eberhart and Adam Hays III) to see their thoughts and why they hold these positions, and look at a recent collared buck study with Dr. Bronson Strickland to break down the real data - beyond the bias and BS, and reveal what the numbers actually say. And I give my take at the end - if you should really be paying attention to the moon when trying to take a big whitetail buck!* 2A DISPLAY PRODUCTS  (10% OFF Code "IQ" ) Here: https://www.2adisplay.com/  • Take the Deer IQ Test 360 HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/Other DEER IQ Resources:** Season 3 Quiz: https://deeriq.com/season-3-quiz/ • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan for your Private Hunting Property HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-and-hunting-plans/ • GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/  Episode # 116Guest: Host Adam Lewis, various guestsIQ ranking - 10 (Advanced)

In this episode, the team dives deep into what deer camp really means tradition, fatherhood, mentorship, and the lessons that shape us as hunters and as men. Kyle shares how deer camp formed the foundation of his childhood, the place he learned to hunt, bond with his dad, and become part of something bigger than himself. The crew opens up about the importance of strong male role models, the value of outdoor traditions, and a heartbreaking story of a young boy whose excitement for opening day was crushed when his father didn't show. It's an honest reminder of what kids need from us commitment, presence, and guidance and how the outdoors can bring families together. In this Podcast we discuss: • The spiritual connection of harvesting your first deer • Generational lessons learned at deer camp • The decline of hunters in America and why it matters • The ethics of the shot, field care, and respecting the game • First-time duck hunting stories and learning moments • Wild game myths and why so many people think venison tastes bad • Vegan vs. hunter debates and the reality of where food comes from • Great Lakes water issues, pollution concerns • Behind-the-scenes insight into filming Wilderness Chronicles Watch Kyle debate a Vegan on the morality of hunting and eating meat: https://youtu.be/U3bxHVI3IMY?si=ym0PRQVL0VwFdzqZ Learn more about what Michigan's DNR is spending their budget on from State Rep Tom Kunsze: https://youtu.be/jGDa4KycJ_U?si=Z7Rm492ThH2Z8tYz Check out Kyle on Mike Avery's Outdoor Magazine Radio Show talking about youth hunting: https://mikeaveryoutdoors.libsyn.com/outdoor-magazine-radio-112225-0 Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: - HISTORY Follow us on: - Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Youtube - Our Website

We all know the whitetail grind. Year after year, around the clock and through all the seasons putting in the work hoping it will one day pay off on a monster buck. Very few work as hard as Ryan Reading; running dozens of cameras, studying deer patterns, and waiting to take the perfect moment and opportunity once it presents itself. For Ryan, it all came down to the 2025 rut and watching his giant target buck moving towards him from a stand he never thought he would see that deer from. Ryan joins us to tell the story, along with Mike Petrosky who was with him for the emotional recovery of the giant buck. Monsters do exist, and dreams can come true. Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

On this edition of West Virginia Outdoors, Chris Lawrence delivers a full morning of hunting and fishing stories from across the Mountain State — starting with the show open and moving through four big-buck interviews and a river-run “best of” fishing segment.Segment 1 – Show Open:Chris kicks off the show with listener shout-outs from across the country and previews four remarkable West Virginia buck stories. He sets the stage with updates from elk camps, podcast listeners abroad, and a rundown of where each of the day's featured hunters took their deer.Segment 2 – Jamie Suko, Braxton County:Jamie Suko proves you don't need a large tract of land to harvest a trophy buck. From just over two acres behind her home, she tags a big 10-point she and her husband had tracked for a year. She walks Chris through the hunt, the nerves, the shot at 30 yards, and the fast recovery — all while juggling a toddler back at the house.Segment 3 – Hayden Blankenship, Wyoming County:Next up is Hayden Blankenship, who takes a Southern West Virginia bow-only county giant — a 10-point buck he'd documented for more than a year. Hayden describes near-misses from the previous season, velvet photos, and the dramatic opening-day encounter when the deer fed five yards from his blind before presenting a perfect shot.Segment 4 – “Best Of” River Fishing with Larry Nibert:Chris heads out on the water with Larry Nibert of The West Virginia Experience for a replay of one of the show's most popular fall fishing conversations. They discuss reading river water, locating smallmouth pockets, cold-weather gear, and why sudden temperature drops produce trophy fish. Along the float, they break down lure selection, turbidity, oxygen levels, and navigating the ledges of the New River. Savannah even hooks multiple fish during the interview.Segment 5 – “Best Of” Fur Tanning with Keith Daniels:The show closes with a visit to the West Virginia Trappers Convention, where fur buyer Keith Daniels explains the science behind properly scraping, drying, and preparing pelts. Chris asks about common mistakes trappers make, how long pelts stay on stretchers, and the chemistry of pickling and tanning. Daniels details how furs are transformed into lightweight, flexible leather ready for the garment trade.

Kansas public land will break you before it ever rewards you — and this trip proves it. From temperatures in the teens to 70-degree heat waves, endless walking, blown setups, other hunters slipping into the same spots, busted deer, shifting winds, and miles of ground that should be good but just isn't… Justin goes through it all. But when you're willing to grind, keep moving, and trust your buddies, everything can change in a single moment. In this episode, Justin road-trips into Kansas with Matt Millard and Tyler Barron, to bowhunt unfamiliar public land. The guys face adversity in the form of blown setups, swirling winds, other hunters, lack of deer sign, and just about everything that Mother Nature can throw at you. But in the end, it all pays off with the biggest buck of his life. If you're a serious bowhunter, you won't want to miss this one!

How many hunters can say they arrowed a 206-inch whitetail at 15 yards… from the ground?

It's been a wild stretch for Kurt in late October! After discovering his main camera was completely out of focus, he's back in the tree with a new setup—and just in time for a major cold front to hit. Between broken gear, freshly picked cornfields, and bucks starting to feel the rut, it's a rollercoaster week in the whitetail woods.

A chaotic November morning begins with a forgotten bow, a 400-yard sprint back to the truck, and a race against first light. Turkeys are gobbling, deer are moving, and the ridge is alive with rut activity. Then the hunt takes an unexpected turn.A buck Kurt hasn't seen since November 6th, 2023 — a heavy-bodied, half-spike bruiser with a distinct old injury — suddenly appears in the exact same area as before. With turkeys feeding beneath him and the woods glowing red at sunrise, Kurt finds himself in a close-range encounter with a buck he has two years of history with. The kind of moment that defines November.

In this episode I sit down with writer, author, film producer and a man with what I feel has the best handle ever (Herd Bull), Mike Mitten. Mike is a bowhunter who has been bowhunting for over 50 years. Mikes shares his passionate bowhunting adventures through his books, his magazine articles, and his YouTube channel. From his 3-week solo trips in Alaska, to hunting big mature whitetail bucks on his home farm in the Midwest. This podcast has everything! and trust me when I say, we only begun to scratch the surface. This is one you don't want to miss.  

In this episode of Becoming a Bowhunter, Matty is joined by Brad Murphy and Ben Atherton for a deep dive into Australia's most elusive and challenging deer species: Sambar. Brad shares his decades of experience as a bowhunting coach, explaining how to pattern sambar behaviour, know where to find them and how to best set your expectations for hunting them.  Ben has hunted Sambar deer his whole life… It's only within the past few years he's chased them with a bow, but in that time he's successfully taken them with a stick bow and has a lot of incredibly useful knowledge on Sambar deer to share.  We break this detailed overview into a few sections. Seasonal hunting, how to find them, habits of the deer, and how to best be successful on public land. Whether you're planning your first hunt or chasing your 20th, this is the most comprehensive and practical episodes we've ever recorded on hunting sambar deer with a bow.

On this episode of Brownfield's Outdoor Adventures, host Brent Barnett welcomes back Sean McVeigh from Sean's Outdoor Adventures for an update on his whirlwind couple of weeks in the deer woods. Sean harvested the biggest buck of his life in an Iowa urban zone and followed it up just days later with a great 8 pointer on his small private farm. Sean reflects on the highs of a memorable bowhunting stretch, what made each hunt unique, and why he feels blessed every time he has the opportunity to pursue these animals. It's a fun and inspiring conversation for any whitetail enthusiast.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From blown entry routes to silent mornings and swirling winds, this hunt started rough… but the rut can turn everything around fast.

In this episode, Robin, Fred Hammer, and Robin Gratz spend three action-packed days trying to land an African monster. This is no small feat. Given the extremely high caliber of apex predators in South Africa, e.g Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, hyenas and packs of African wild dogs... antelope have developed an incredible skill-set that keeps them alive against all odds. So, getting close with a bow in hand is sometimes laughably difficult. Thankfully, they manage to close the distance, and arrows fly. A big thanks to Fred Hammer from Bowhunting Africa for his fantastic guiding services, and Robin Gratz from Daggaboy films for capturing the adventure. -----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.
