In Episode 30 we sit down with our good buddy and "lucky hunter" Jake Thompson for the first of many chats we plan to have regarding arrow lethality. Jake is a wealth of knowledge, killing animals on three different continents and being heavily involved in the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation. Jake and his wife Emily run Danger Close Outdoors, a company driven to deliver the highest success rates possible for bowhunters.
Topics discussed: Garrett missed again, Elk that are auditioning for The Matrix, being grounded for Grouse, Texas and Tumbleweeds, the male ego, shooting 3D courses with 950 grain arrows, 200 chuckleheads, 3D targets not being accurate - and possibly the cause for the higher wound/loss rate, international hunters shooting at the magic triangle, creating more problems by trying to fix them, $70K trucks, Jake wearing Rob Neilson pajamas, Cape Buffalo that look through you, nothing worse than hotdog juice, turning into "crybaby poopy pants", chasing pink dragons, shooting rhino's in the face with a slingshot, Chernobyl animals, editing out half of the podcast to save Jake from getting in trouble.
