What lessons can modern hunters implement from ancient people? What practices have been forgotten? This week, I am joined by Devin Pettigrew, an archeologist who studies the tools and tactics used by ancient hunters. We cover traditional archery, steel vs stone broadheads, and the atlatl, an ancient dart throwing weapon that is still used by traditional hunters today.

There's a lot to keep track of when preparing for a hunting trip, and sometimes your ammo gets left behind. Specialized cartridges can be difficult to find in a pinch, so there are definitely benefits to using everyday ammo. This week, I'm joined by hunting guide and professional shooter, Peter Howell, to discuss the pros, cons, and capabilities of the most common ammunition found at gas stations and hardware stores across the world. We cover rifle and pistol cartridges, and what to bring on an international hunt.

Florida's native wildlife has been decimated by invasive species such as feral hogs, green iguanas, and the massive Burmese python, a snake that can grow to be 20 ft long and take down a fully grown deer. Mike, the Python Cowboy, is a state contracted python hunter and the owner of Martin County Trapping & Wildlife Rescue. This guy is the real deal, as he bushwhacks through the everglades taking down record breaking pythons with his bare hands. Join me as we discuss Mike's mission to conserve the Florida ecosystem through hunting and trapping.
