Ryan over at the Seek Outside podcast had me on his show this week and he asked a very important question: What can you expect on your first bowhunt?

I wanted to dive deeper into this question and offer up a bit of my experience on those earlier hunts. Couple things is being prepared but not over prepared, taking in the experience, being ready to actually pack out an animal, observe key signs of game, and invest in fewer areas. 

Also, I've got a new order of First Generation Bowhunter tee shirts available, please let me know if you'd like one. You can message me on Instagram @adam_buchanan and venmo me $15, venmo is @adam-buchanan-3. We'll use this laid back payment system until we get huntwurx.com up and running, which you're welcome to pop over and take a peek at what I'm building over there. Huntwurx will be the main site to house all the blogs, content, products, of all things for the First Generation Bowhunter podcast. More to come on that. 

Let's dive into what boots and footwear are the best for bowhunting. If you're in the market for new boots, this is a good overview of what you should be asking the salesperson and what to consider for your first pair or your next pair. I break down a few boots by these three categories:

1. Fit

2. Mobility

3. Weatherproof

I review and share my experience with the boots down below in the In Gear I Trust section.
