Bowhunting Soul

This week I'm breaking down my public land mobile hunting setup. I've been using it for a couple of months now and have streamlined my pack, my gear and my process. This isn't just a "what's in my pack" type of review. I talk about specific items and how they are essential to the way I hunt. I also discuss the order in which I'm packing everything so I'm as quiet and as efficient as I can be when I hit the woods.  I also discuss my season so far and some valuable lessons learned.

In this episode I talk with the Bayou Bowhunter, Harmon Carson. Harmon is a Louisiana native and is a straight up killer. No deer or hogs (lots and lots of hogs) are safe from this guy! He is mostly a traditional bowhunter, a taxidermist by trade, and an all-round good guy. We talk about taxidermy, terrain, deer, hogs, scouting and his bow setup. I really enjoyed talking to him. If you want to follow Harmon on social media, his youtube channel is "Bayou Bowhunter". His business is "New Life Taxidermy".

On this episode I talk with the Bayou Bowhunter Harmon Carson. Harmon lives in Louisiana and is a straight up killer! Harmon is a taxidermist by trade but he's also a traditional bowhunter who gets the job done in the swamps of Louisiana. We talk about his business, the terrain he hunts and focus heavily on how he finds specific buck sign in an area typically flooded or covered in a bed of pine needles. Harmon is a true woodsman and I learned a few things from talking to him, and I hope you will too. You can find Harmon's hunting content on social media by searching "Bayou Bowhunter". His Youtube channel is fantastic!

Well, this one can be controversial. This episode is just me talking about my ideas on what fair chase is and isn't. And even if it isn't, does it matter? Maybe yes, maybe not. The subject of ethics covers lots of topics and even more emotions. There are some issues that are a definite go/no-go for me, while others fall under a grey area and may be situationally and geographically dependent. Either way, YOU have to be ok with the person looking back at you in the mirror. Hope you enjoy the episode!

John Tucker is a die-hard traditional bow hunter and saddle hunter. He's been designing and hunting out of his own saddles for almost 25 years. This year, he was finally convinced to bring his creation to market: the Tactisaddle. I talk with John about his start in saddle hunting, what he's learned along the way, the features of the Tactisaddle and much more. He's a great guy, super humble, and willing to spend time with you to answer all of your questions. I really enjoyed talking to him. I've been trying out the Tactisaddle and will be using it this season. Check it out at www.tactisaddle.com

This week I'm publishing a swapcast I did with Bill Hoffman at Hoffman's Hunting Heritage. Bill is an interesting guy with about 10 jobs. No joke!. Police officer, author, podcaster, voice over artist, magician, comedian, ordained minister and a bunch I've probably forgotten! Bill is the author of the Twins of Prey series of novels and he's graciously given our listeners a free downloadable copy of the first book, so be sure to listen to the end to get the details on how to download that e-book. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

In this episode, I talk about my new foray into the world of saddle hunting. I've officially ditched the conventional tree stand and decided to hunt from a Tethrd Mantis tree saddle. I discuss the equipment, how I carry it all in, how I set it up and the pros and cons of hunting from a saddle. If you're interested at all about saddle hunting, this is a great episode for you!

In this episode I have the great pleasure of talking to an absolute legend,: Mr. Warren Womack. Warren is a 75 year old Louisiana bowhunter who has been hunting since he was 12 years old. This guy knows how to get it done. Currently there are some  tactics being used by hardcore hunters that some consider "new". Going in deep. Backpacking. Mobile hunting. Quartering and packing deer out instead of dragging it for miles. Well, Warren has done ALL of that for decades, long before it was cool! Not only that, but at the ripe age of 71, he decides to try out saddle hunting! It was an absolute pleasure to talk to Warren and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode I discuss bareshaft tuning. What is it? Why is it necessary? How do you go about it? What are the steps? It really bothers me when people say, "I don't shoot a bareshaft at an animal, I shoot a fletched arrow." I think bareshaft tuning is a vital step in tuning your bow and arrow setup. It shows you what the arrow shaft REALLY wants to do out of your setup without the aid of fletching. Fletching is only there to make minor corrections, not keep a wildly out of tune arrow from going sideways! Join me as I delve into how to bareshaft tune the right way.
