Podcasts about Bowhunting

In today's video, we sit down with Troy Fowler, aka the Ranch Fairy. We discuss how social media influences our thinking, convictions vs. beliefs, and how to think about seeking the truth regarding hunting. Troy is known for his research on lethality and arrow penetration, but this podcast digs into how we think about solving problems within the hunting industry and how we foster community in search of the ultimate truth. We also discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with people who love God and their neighbor, and challenge you to always seek the truth.

Trail cameras have come a long way from checking SD cards on your laptop. Today, hunters can receive real-time images from the woods, track deer movement from anywhere, and make decisions based on more information than ever before. In this episode, Sam sits down with Gregg Farrell - Vice President of Brand & Marketing at Tactacam. Gregg shares the story behind one of the most recognized brands in the hunting industry, how Tactacam grew from action cameras to a leader in cellular scouting, and what goes into developing products that hunters rely on every season. We also dive into the impact technology is having on modern hunting, how REVEAL has changed the way hunters scout and manage properties, the challenges of building a trusted outdoor brand, Tactacam's new Habitat IQ app and what the future may hold for trail cameras and hunting tech. Whether you're a die-hard trail camera addict, a tech-minded hunter, or just curious about where the hunting industry is headed, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Tim and Troy head to northwest Illinois with just one evening to scout and one morning to hunt. After using trail camera intel and a sunset observation to pinpoint a gobbler's movements, the plan comes together exactly as drawn up when a big tom walks into range on the final day of the Illinois turkey season. But that's only half the story. We also rewind to youth season, where Drake battles nerves, overcomes his fear of the shotgun, and makes a perfect shot on his turkey with Dad right by his side. It's a special hunt filled with family, encouragement, and a memory they'll never forget.

This podcast talks about some tuning of bows and hunting off the ground with a bow with Evan Williams. Evan has been seriously affective taking whitetail and mule deer off the ground with decoys and bow. I dive into how he navigates terrain and the season to get big bucks on the ground. Evan is also a leading warranty/tech professional with a plethora of knowledge of compound bow set up and tuning.

Michigan's deer hunting landscape is changing in a big way, and this episode breaks it all down. We're joined by Michigan residents Brandon Ostrowski and Todd Sellon to discuss Michigan's new “One-Buck Rule,” the controversy surrounding it, and what it could mean for hunters across the state. We also dive into the recent changes to Michigan's rifle line law, how those updates may impact safety, hunter opportunity, and deer management moving forward. From tradition and conservation to hunter recruitment and public opinion, this conversation covers both sides of the debate and the real-world pros and cons these decisions could have in the woods during coming seasons. Whether you're a lifelong Michigan deer hunter or just interested in the future of wildlife policy and hunting culture, this is an episode you won't want to miss!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

After days of getting outplayed by call-shy gobblers, changing blind locations, dealing with storms, silent birds, and frustrating close calls… it finally all came together. This episode follows two different turkey hunts and two hunters grinding through the chaos of spring turkey season. From birds hanging up across the water to split-second encounters inside bow range, nothing came easy.

In this episode, Matty sits down with New Zealand ecologist and Sika Foundation member Cam Speedy for a deep dive into Sika deer, deer ecology, habitat management, and the role hunters play in conservation. Cam shares decades of experience working in wildlife management throughout New Zealand, including predator control, deer tracking studies, biodiversity work, and research around Sika deer populations in the Central North Island. The conversation explores how deer density directly impacts habitat quality, breeding success, antler growth, and overall herd health. Cam explains why healthy hunting systems rely on balanced harvests, particularly around female deer, and how hunters themselves often act as the primary predator within modern deer systems. There's also a fascinating breakdown of Sika deer behaviour, including rut timing, scrape systems, home ranges, dispersal patterns, and why Sika have become such a sought-after species for bowhunters. This is a grounded conversation that blends science, practical hunting knowledge, and conservation into one of the most detailed discussions we've had on deer ecology and management.

Mike Cascini joins the Okayest Hunter Podcast to break down the side of archery and bowhunting most people completely overlook: the mental game. From target panic and self-doubt to elite-level performance psychology, this episode dives into how mindset impacts everything from shooting tournaments to punching tags. We also get into deer camp stories, New Jersey hunting culture, performance under pressure, ego in hunting, and why some of the best hunters and archers are usually the quietest people in the room. If you've ever struggled with confidence behind the bow, overthinking shots, comparing yourself to others, or simply trying to become more consistent as a hunter, this one's worth the listen. We hit on the following topics: Archery performance psychology Target panic Bowhunting mindset Mental coaching in archery Confidence and consistency Hunting culture and ego Deer camp stories Tournament archery pressure The overlap between life, business, and hunting Shout out to our partners: ⁠Latitude Outdoors: ⁠Mobile hunting gear built for hunters who'd rather keep moving than sit in the same spot wondering if the wind betrayed them again. ⁠Rack Hub: ⁠Simple, smart gear storage that helps organize the growing pile of hunting equipment we all swear we actually need. ⁠Gerber Gear: ⁠Knives, tools, and gear built to actually get used instead of just photographed on tailgates. ⁠ASIO Gear: ⁠Technical hunting apparel designed for serious pursuit without taking yourself too seriously. ⁠HLRBO: ⁠Access to private land opportunities without the headache of knocking on doors or chasing down permission slips.

Send us Fan MailA perfect round sounds impressive until you learn what “perfect” actually means in tournament archery. We're joined by Ryan  Bennett, a young Elite-sponsored shooter who's already stacking wins, plus Lane Lewis and Darren Matthews to keep the conversation honest, funny, and grounded in real hunting life. We get into how Ryan started with zero archery background, what changed when he finally got a proper bow tune, and why 3D tournaments feel like golf with adrenaline. Ryan breaks down competitive archery in plain language: indoor target scoring, outdoor variables, hunter class limitations, K50 rules, rangefinders, stabilizers, lenses, and why the top level becomes a brutal game of “you cannot miss.” We also talk big stages like the Las Vegas Shoot and the Lancaster Archery Classic, including what makes each event different for pressure, format, and nerves. Ken also shares a tough personal story from black bear hunting: a shot that looked right, heavy blood, and still no recovery. That leads into a serious talk about ethical shots, realistic bowhunting distances, string jumping, and why tournament reps can sharpen decision-making when a real animal steps in. Ryan adds stories from traveling to France to shoot and explore hunting culture, plus the strange reality of Vegas off the shooting line. If you care about bowhunting, competitive archery, 3D archery, target archery training, and the mindset that holds up under pressure, this one's for you.

For this episode we are joined by Eric Clark from the Okayest Hunter crew!  Eric has been a part of building an outdoor brand based on overcoming stereotypes, making it "okay" to hunt the way you want to hunt and having a healthy stewardship over our wildlife and habitats.  Our conversation covers a lot of ground to include social media misconceptions about hunting, public land hunting, conservation, the overall popularity of hunting, some of Eric's hunting experiences that have made an impact on him and more!  Eric and Okayest Hunter believe that hunts are not measured in inches or mounts, but rather experiences and memories!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Week two of Wisconsin turkey season turns into an absolute grind. Rainy mornings, silent gobblers, pressured birds, blown opportunities, and long sits in the blind had us questioning everything... until a subtle move finally paid off. After struggling on heavily pressured birds the hunt shifts north to Chippewa County where the gobblers barely make a sound. With cold mornings, frosty ridges, and “deer hunting for turkeys” tactics, patience finally leads to an unforgettable encounter.

Send Travis a Text MessageToday Jeremy and I unpack our hunt from last weekend. Jeremy came in to Ohio for his first out of state turkey hunt. Also his first time trying the run n gun style of hunting. We unpack how the hunt went down and how we were able to get one several birds. Shots were fired and we have some stories to share. We also hear about how Jeremy was able to get his first Tom with a bow in Michigan. 

Turkey hunting has a way of humbling you fast… and this hunt was no exception. From blown-over blinds to missed shots and stubborn gobblers that refused to commit, this one felt like a nonstop battle against bad luck. But sometimes the chaos is what makes the payoff even sweeter. In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Todd teams up with friends for a wild spring turkey hunt packed with close calls, hilarious moments, aggressive gobbling, and a last-minute decision that changes everything. After striking out with the bow and watching opportunities slip away, Todd finally does the “unthinkable” and grabs the shotgun for a run-and-gun hunt through the woods.

In this episode, Matty sits down with long-time mate and experienced red deer hunter Mick Cullen. Mick is someone who's been in Matty's ear for years, helping break down mistakes and sharpen decision-making in the field. This is a practical conversation about what actually works when you're chasing red deer in the rut. Mick shares the systems he's developed over more than a decade of consistent hunting. From calling setups and reading terrain, to understanding how stags behave across different phases of the rut. There's a big focus on execution under pressure, why most hunters get busted at the last moment, and the small decisions that separate blown opportunities from clean kills. Podcast topics: Early vs late rut behaviour and when calling works bestWhy wind and setup matter more than the call itselfUsing terrain (benches, folds, cover) to force movementDrawing early vs getting busted at full drawHind & fawn calls vs stag roarsSpot-and-stalk vs calling, and when to use eachWhy most hunts fall apart inside 50mThe importance of repetition and experience Find Our Guest: Mick Cullen Instagram: @bows_dogs_n_rods Follow Becoming a Bowhunter Instagram: @becomingabowhunter.podcast Hosted by: @mattyafter

In this episode Brian Barney sits down with his buddy Sam Davis. Sam is an amazing bowhunter who puts together great seasons year after year. The guys catch up and then dive into their favorite subject: bowhunting. They talk over Sam's amazing 2025 season with elk and mule deer. The fellas also discuss missing shots, instincts and finding epic hunting. Another great podcast this week on Eastmans Elevated.

In this episode, we discuss something that seems simple. Trees are one of the most familiar living things on Earth, but when you really stop and think about how they work, they start to feel almost impossible. We break down the science of how trees grow, what they are actually made of, and how something weighing thousands of pounds can seem to come from almost nothing. Then we dive into a sad story of good intentions gone wrong. An Englishwoman tried to save a crayfish, but somehow ended up killing it instead. It is a weird, funny, and surprisingly educational example of how good intentions in nature can sometimes go completely sideways. We also explore new science about how birds navigate across massive distances. From magnetic fields to visual landmarks to biological systems we are still trying to fully understand, bird migration is one of the most incredible examples of design.  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  &  WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/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:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Opening morning in Northern Illinois kicks off with sky-high expectations, a perfect setup, and gobblers everywhere… but nothing goes as planned. In this episode of Bowhunt or Die, Kurt dives into one of the most frustrating turkey hunts you'll ever see. Birds are everywhere, circling decoys, hanging up just out of range, and busting him at every move. Hunting without a blind proves just how brutal bowhunting turkeys can be. Then a massive Midwest storm rolls through — bringing tornado warnings, heavy rain, and uncertainty about whether the hunt is even still possible. But when the weather finally breaks, everything changes.

This week friends Alan Altizer and Rob Burnham sit down to reflect on the paths bowhunting has taken each of them on throughout their lives. With over a hundred years of bowhunting experiences between them, these two share their very early years as kids with bows and arrows, then all the way to where they are today. And it is very apparent that the love for traditional bowhunting is stronger today than ever. This is not only a fun bunch of stories, but an outline of what is truly important, and how a young hunter can set goals and reach their dreams. Additionally, each shares their personal approaches on making the shot count when the opportunity presents itself. Although each have taken numerous species and impressive trophies, that is not what they define as success. Success is found in their love of bowhunting and sharing this passion. They may be old and grey but carrying a trad bow allows them to still be kids at heart.  

Join us as Derek Craig shares over two decades of turkey hunting expertise, covering the transition from shotgun to bow hunting, the importance of decoys, shot placement, and the ethical considerations of predator kills. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just starting out, learn how to maximize your success and respect for these magnificent birds. In this episode: Derek's journey from shotgun to bow hunting turkeys and his preferred gear setups The evolving technology in turkey shotguns, including TSS and chokes, and their impact on range The role of decoys in close-range bow hunts versus traditional calls and blinds How to identify the best shot opportunity based on turkey behavior and position Differences between body and head/neck shots, including equipment choices and ethical considerations Insights into recording hunts with multiple cameras for high-quality footage The significance of posting decapitation videos, social media's influence, and ethical debates The historical changes in turkey hunting pressure, costs, and accessible hunting locations Derek's ongoing season plans and reflections on the progression of turkey hunting Timestamps: (00:00) - Introduction to Derek Craig and today's turkey hunting tips (02:13) - The importance of decoys in bow hunting and shot distance expansion (04:10) - Practice and shot placement: body vs. head/neck shots (06:42) - Do decoys help hold turkeys in place for decapitation shots?

In this episode, we sit down with Ohio bowhunter Daniel Cremeans to break down an incredible two-year run that most hunters only dream about. Daniel took not one, but two GIANT whitetails with his compound bow - scoring an impressive 201 3/8 inches two seasons ago, and an even bigger 202 5/8 inches this past year. We dive into the strategies and decisions that led to these once-in-a-lifetime bucks, from scouting and stand placement to timing and execution in the moment of truth. Daniel also shares how his approach to property management has played a key role in consistently producing high-quality deer.

In this episode, we break down the real situation behind Michigan's deer policies. The buck to doe ratio problem. The drop in harvest numbers. The science being used to justify new rules. And the growing frustration from hunters who feel like things just aren't adding up. Should Michigan move to a one buck rule for deer hunting? We break down one of the biggest debates in Michigan deer management right now. The conversation covers the Lower Peninsula specifically and digs into the real issues hunters keep bringing up, including buck to doe ratio concerns, antler point restrictions, the bait ban, harvest numbers, hunter satisfaction, disease concerns, and whether Michigan is actually creating better deer management or just adding more restrictions. We talk through the major sides of the argument. Some hunters believe a one buck rule would help create more selective harvest and improve the age structure of bucks. Others believe an earn a buck system would make more sense by requiring doe harvest before buck harvest, which could more directly address the imbalance between bucks and does. We also get into the argument over APRs, how they work in Michigan now, and whether they truly help improve buck quality or simply protect deer with poor antler traits that should not stay in the breeding pool. We also dives into the controversy around the Lower Peninsula bait ban and the belief that reduced harvest numbers may actually be making Michigan's deer issues worse instead of better. Kyle explains why he believes any serious deer management plan has to stay consistent with the science being used to justify it. If the concern is disease spread and overpopulation, then the state has to look honestly at whether current rules are helping hunters remove enough deer from the landscape. Along the way, we talk about hunting ethics, managing wounded or genetically poor deer in the field, how different Michigan regions should be treated differently, why hunter input matters, and why accurate deer reporting is critical if the DNR and hunters are ever going to get on the same page. This is a real conversation about conservation, deer management, hunting culture, regulations, and what the future of Michigan deer season should actually look like. If you care about Michigan deer hunting, whitetail management, the DNR, APRs, the bait ban, doe harvest, trophy buck potential, wildlife policy, or the future of hunting in the Midwest, this is a conversation worth hearing. Watch the full podcast and join the conversation in the comments.

A slow start doesn't mean the hunt is over. After a tough morning filled with close calls, shifting flocks, and blown opportunities, the decision is made to switch gears and go mobile. With birds disappearing and the heat setting in, it's time to cover ground, glass new areas, and take a shot at public land. What follows is a fast-paced spot-and-stalk play—closing the distance, reading terrain, and making a bold move with a fan setup to pull a fired-up tom into range.

This one's a full recap of the 2026 rut and for once, it's not just close calls. Across three separate hunts, Matty breaks down what actually played out in the field… the wins, the stuff-ups, and the moments that could've gone either way. The episode moves through three key hunts: A March trip focused on getting the drop on a red deer, gone a little differently.Easter weekend on family ground, including a camel hunt and pig encountersA return to the family red deer block during peak rut, putting everything together There's a bit of everything in this one…  calling sequences that worked (and didn't), pressure getting the better of moments, wild dog encounters, and what happens when things don't go to plan but still come together over time. It's not polished. It's just how it happened. Podcast topics: Breaking the rut into three separate hunts and what changed across eachEarly mistakes under pressure: rushing shots and missing opportunitiesLessons from hunting with experienced hunters and adjusting setup decisionsDrawing early vs drawing late, and why it matters more than you thinkCalling strategies: when to use hind calls vs roarsHow stags actually respond when pressured by other deer in the areaA close-range wild dog encounter and the mental side of making the shot countThe reality of pressure in the moment, even when you've done the workCamel hunting… stalking, shot placement, and dealing with sheer sizeWhat happens when a hunt turns into a logistical challenge (heat, meat, time)Managing meat recovery and processing when things don't go to planReturning to the red deer block during peak rutReading wind, terrain, and access differently after previous experienceHow small decisions (where you park, where you listen) change everythingThe importance of patience and positioning during the roarWhy some hunts finally come together after years of near misses You can do all the right prep. Shoot well, train hard, understand animals — and still mess it up in the moment. But over enough time in the bush, those lessons stack. And eventually… things start to go your way.

This week Alan Altizer is joined by one of traditional bowhunting's best, Mike Mitten. Mike has done it all and is extremely well known for his solo adventures in the Alaskan wilderness in search of the Alaskan moose. Over the years Mike has graciously shared his adventures, and more importantly, his love and respect for the wild places and traditional bowhunting through his writing, lectures, and video productions. Additionally, he has provided monumental support to bowhunting organizations such as PBS and Compton. This week he once again shares his love for bowhunting and discusses his new book, “The Enchantment of Bowhunting”. Set in on this conversation and share in our love for hunting with the bow and arrow.         

Welcome back to the WhitetailDNA Podcast! On today's episode, we sit down with Joel Burham of Whitetail Fit. Joel has spent most of his life chasing whitetail bucks on public land and has had tremendous success. Today, we dive into his evolution in the hunting industry—from his early days finding his footing to building a respected presence rooted in discipline, fitness, and a passion for the outdoors. Joel shares what it was like to live and hunt in Nebraska before making the leap to Iowa full-time, and how that transition has reshaped both his strategy and mindset. We get into his decision to focus strictly on public land as a resident in Iowa, the challenges and realities he's faced so far, and how those experiences have compared to his expectations. Joel also discusses what the future holds for him in Iowa, along with insights from his western hunting journey and how those experiences have influenced his approach to whitetails. To wrap it up, we look ahead at his hunts planned for 2026 and what's fueling his drive going forward.

In this episode of the Green Outdoors Podcast, the crew dives into some of the strangest true stories where science, nature, and human curiosity collide. In this episode, we discuss: - The bizarre history of using frogs as pregnancy tests and how it actually worked. - The strange era when people believed radioactive water had health benefits. - The mysterious deep-sea oarfish, often called the “doomsday fish,” and the legends surrounding it. - A chilling case of a missing man who was eventually found trapped in quicksand near a sand pit.

Podcast 169 of The Green Way Outdoors starts on a sweet note as Jeff brings in homemade Malva Pudding made from his South African recipe, a rich dessert known for its soft texture, warm caramel flavor, and deep roots in South African cooking. From there, the crew jumps into a wild taste test featuring rainbow wire, a strange and colorful Canadian candy, before finishing things off with classic meringue cookies, the light, airy dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. Along the way, Kyle shares his thoughts on food allergies and what might really be going on behind the growing number of people dealing with them. The conversation takes a hard turn into mystery, history, and big questions. Ryan brings up archaeological discoveries and artifacts that seem out of place or out of time, opening the door to a discussion about ancient technology, unexplained objects, and the mysteries that continue to challenge mainstream timelines. Kyle also breaks down lessons he learned from Kent Hovind and others on Noah's Flood, flood geology, fossil formation, and the debate surrounding biblical evidence, sediment layers, and catastrophic events in Earth's past. The team also reflects on a powerful Easter Sunday sermon that explored the science, historical evidence, and proof surrounding Jesus, faith, and the resurrection. On top of that, the crew tackles the question of what fossil fuels really are, including oil, coal, and natural gas, and how they are believed to form from ancient organic matter deep within the Earth. They also react to a shocking new penalty for scammers in Singapore, discuss sunken treasure and who has the legal right to claim it, and bring their usual mix of humor, curiosity, debate, and real conversation to every topic. From desserts and candy to archaeology, Christianity, Noah's Flood, fossil fuels, treasure law, and world news, this episode covers a little bit of everything.

In this episode, Matty sits down with Glen Thurston, the founder of MentalHunts, for a conversation that goes well beyond hunting. Glen shares his journey through mental health struggles that started early in life, including an attempted suicide at 18, years of self-medicating through alcohol, and eventually hitting rock bottom while running a growing business. From the outside, things looked like they were working, but behind the scenes, it was a different story. What followed was a complete shift. Glen opens up about getting sober, starting medication, and rebuilding his life from the ground up… Including time spent working on a high country farm, reconnecting with purpose, and finding stability again. But the turning point that led to Mental Hunts came later… when Glen made the decision to be proactive about his mental health and was punished for it. After seeking help, he had his firearms license revoked. That experience exposed a much bigger issue, one that affects hunters across Australia and New Zealand, where people are now hesitant to seek help out of fear of losing their livelihood, identity, and connection to the outdoors. From there, Glen set out to create change. This conversation covers the realities of mental health within the farming and hunting communities, the importance of being proactive, and why time in the bush can act as a powerful reset — not just physically, but mentally. It's an honest, raw conversation about what's really going on beneath the surface — and why more people need to speak up.  What We Cover: Glen's early struggles with mental health and suicide attempt at 18The culture of alcohol as a coping mechanism in trade environmentsBuilding a successful business… and burning out in the processGetting sober and the role medication played in stabilising his lifeMoving rural and finding purpose through physical work and huntingThe moment everything changed. Firearms license revocation after seeking helpWhy fear is stopping people from going to the doctorThe lack of consistency in legislation around mental health and firearmsThe real difference between “mental health” and violent intentWhy being proactive about your mental health mattersThe role of hunting as a form of meditation and mental resetBuilding Mental Hunts and advocating for change at a legislative levelWhy storytelling is more powerful than telling people what to doHow to actually have conversations around mental health with matesThe importance of listening and not trying to “fix” someonePhysical tools: exercise, cold exposure, nutrition, time in the bushWhy what you put into your body (food, alcohol, media) matters Key Takeaway Hunting isn't just about the outcome… It's one of the few places where everything else switches off. For a lot of people, it's where clarity comes back, where conversations happen, and where you can actually process what's going on in your life. But if people are scared to seek help… that becomes a bigger problem than anything else.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are joined by Mike Yoder for part 2 of our talk, and we dig into some of the controversy behind using drones to recover deer.

In this episode, Matty sits down with Rob Herbert from R&N Blades for a conversation that goes well beyond knives. Rob shares his background growing up on a farm where hunting and using tools was simply part of everyday life — from trapping rabbits to learning how to keep a knife sharp from his grandfather. That early exposure eventually led him into knife making, but also into careers in the military, Victoria Police, and later the Game Management Authority. As the conversation unfolds, Rob opens up about the impact of trauma from his time in policing, and how making knives, along with time spent hunting, became a way to manage that mental load. There's a strong theme throughout the episode around hunting as more than just a pursuit… For many people it becomes a form of reset, a place to think clearly, and a way to reconnect with something real. The discussion also moves into the current state of hunting in Australia, including challenges around legislation, representation, and the need for a more unified voice across the broader outdoor community.  Rob shares a grounded perspective on how hunters are perceived, the importance of presenting the right image, and why education matters more than emotion when it comes to protecting the future of hunting. There's also plenty of practical insight from Rob's own hunting journey, from traditional bows through to compound and rifle, and how changing tools can expose weaknesses and ultimately make you a better hunter. This is a wide-ranging, honest conversation about hunting, mental health, community, and the role it all plays in people's lives.

While many hunters believe that turkeys were meant to be solely hunted with shotguns, hunters are picking up bowhunting for turkeys to experience something new and challenging. From having to draw birds especially close, to limiting movements while drawing back on the bow, archery for turkeys can surely test your skills as a hunter. At the NWTF's Convention and Sport Show, we sat down with Bill Vanderheyden, founder of Iron Will Outfitters, to talk about his experiences chasing turkeys with a bow, and we discussed tips and tactics that can potentially make you more successful this spring. To read more about Bill and his passion for archery, visit https://ironwilloutfitters.com/pages/our-story.  

In this episode, I sit down with Adam Bonewits of Blue River Bowhunting to talk about the realities of chasing whitetails beyond your home state and why getting the next generation involved in the outdoors matters more than ever. Adam shares stories and lessons from his out-of-state hunts, including the preparation, scouting, and mindset it takes to be successful when you're hunting unfamiliar ground. We dive into the challenges bowhunters face when traveling to new states, how to adapt quickly, and why those experiences can make you a better hunter overall. We also spend time discussing something both of us are passionate about—introducing youth to hunting. Adam talks about ways to mentor young hunters, the importance of creating positive first experiences in the woods, and why passing down hunting traditions is critical for the future of conservation and the sport. Whether you're planning your first out-of-state hunt, looking for new bowhunting insight, or want ideas for getting kids involved in the outdoors, this conversation is packed with relatable stories and practical perspective from someone who lives and breathes bowhunting.
