Last year I overhauled my archery setup with heavier high FOC arrows and an unconventional new sight. In this episode I discussed what I had before, what I changed and why. I also explain the "high Front of Center" (FOC) concept with more weight upfront. I discuss the EZ V bow sight and how its revolutionary design makes sense specifically for hunting. I also talk about the performance of my new setup this past season on the animals I was fortunate to take with my bow. Heavy arrows with high FOC are basically "hand loaded" arrows and are quickly gaining popularity in the archery hunting industry and if you been thinking about making the change, I highly recommend it. I am not sponsored by any of the products I discuss, they are simply what I chose to use, and there are several other options out there.

I've been and avid bow hunter for several years now and really have grown to love the challenge of hunting with a bow. In my opinion it is takes your hunting skills to another level. In this episode I cover some key bow hunting topics, including setup, concealment, wind, and when to draw you your bow. I discuss hunting from the ground in a pop-up/hub style blind, hunting from a tripod stand, and hunting on the ground with just with your bow and your camo. We also get into the importance of wind and concealment. Join me as I talk about a variety of lessons learned in the field as a bowhunter.

Every deer head or fish on the wall has a story behind it, whether it's a true "trophy" or it's just an awesome story or memory that one would like to preserve. In this episode I am joined by Eddie Ruiz with Big Ed's Taxidermy. We discuss a variety of FAQs about taxidermy, including what to ask when looking for a taxidermist, what to look for on mounts, how to cape out a deer for taxidermy and how to care for the cape. We also talk about getting fish mounted and what you need to know about preserving your catch or how to get a great replica.

This is the final segment of my Colorado Elk Hunt recap. In this episode we continue where we left off and start the pack out. Being my first pack out of an Elk, it was eye opening to say the least. It took us 4 days to pack this 800lb animal back to the truck on our backs, so you can imagine the lessons learned along the way. Join me and my cousins as we recap this daunting task.

In this episode I go thru my gear list for my Colorado Archery Backcountry Elk hunt. I cover pack, water, shelter, and sleep systems. I also cover electronics, food, clothing and other essentials. I am not sponsored my any of these companies, it's just simply the gear use.
