Have you ever wondered how Travis Turner got his start in the hunting industry? Or how Travis became "T-Bone?" David Blanton is joined by Travis on this week's podcast to talk about how his relationship with Realtree started 20+ years ago. Travis talks about how the nickname "T-Bone" was born and how it has stuck with him to this day. T-Bone also gives some helpful insight on how to be a better archer.

Have you ever been on a hunt where there were many obstacles stacked against you? Yet you were able to fill your tag anyway? There is no doubt that staying positive and persevering while being patient can pay off! Well, my bowhunt in Wisconsin last year included standing corn, full moon, extremely bitter conditions and "lock down". Can the deck be stacked against you more than that? I'll discuss in detail why I feel like we were able to overcome and punch a tag on my first hunt in Wisconsin last November.

Have you ever wondered which rates higher, fishing shows or hunting shows? Well, the numbers don't lie. On this week's David Blanton Podcast, David discusses which is more popular on Outdoor TV.

Today's special guest on the David Blanton Podcast is long-time friend Al Kraus. Al is the owner of Black Hills Archery in Rapid City, South Dakota. Al has made appearances on almost all of Realtree's hunting shows over the years and has killed several true giants. David and Al talk about target panic and ways to overcome it to make yourself a better archer and better bowhunter.
