Dan has an incredible encounter with an 8-Point on Public Land, I have multiple deer come into me, and Andy Musser joins us again as Dan and I commence the first annual deer tour between Andy's Private Land and off the grid cabin and then we shift to our cabin in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. We've got all this and a bunch of bow hunting beginner lessons learned that will definitely help you when you get into the situations we got into this past week.

Have you ever said: Why did I do that? Well, I did this week, and ironically, Dan did too. This week, bow hunting early season mayhem hit us right in the mouth. I think you're gonna like it.

On a more somber note, I would like to dedicate this episode to a dear friend of mine who served with me on ODA 535, Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). His name is Josh Rowson and he dedicated his life to this country, serving 27 years in the US Army, in both the 1st, 5th, and 19th Special Forces Groups. He had more combat tours than you can count. He was a warrior, a dear friend, husband, and father. Love you man. See you on the other side.

Then in the podcast, Dan and I answered a few listener questions about what bow or crossbow to get started with for turkey hunting. Which then made us go down the rabbit hole of to crossbow or not to crossbow? It is a debate that both Dan and I agree on. We are for hunters. We need more deer hunters as the overall hunting population is literally dropping year after year in the US and with all the anti-hunting groups out there, we all need to stick together. Enough on that.

I talk about my encounter with a buck last Friday morning and what I totally screwed up. This is a great lesson to learn, so you'll want to listen to this. Then I talk about my active scouting journey and how I managed the evening thermals to optimize the wind direction for my evening hunt.

The Dan digs into a pretty funny series of events that you just can't make up with some bad batteries, a few does and fawns, and his truck. You got to hear this one.

We've got all this and a lot more that will help any bow hunting beginner get better. You can definitely learn from our mistakes in this episode.

Dan and I are pulling back the curtain on our bow hunting season prep. We're talking about our own summer scouting routines, how we plan for the season, and the gear we're trusting this year. We've spent countless hours in the field, and we're sharing the knowledge we've gained with you.

We'll be discussing the importance of summer scouting, especially in hill country. We'll share how our approaches have evolved over the years, and we'll be talking about what we look for when we're out there in the field. We'll also be having a lively debate about the use of trail cameras. It's a topic we don't see eye to eye on, and we think it'll make for an interesting discussion.

Gear setup is another key focus of this podcast. We'll be talking about our own setups for the season. Dan will be sharing his ground hunting setup and the gear he carries, and I'll be doing the same. We'll discuss our techniques and the reasons behind our gear choices.

So, whether you're an experienced bow hunter or a beginner, this podcast is packed with valuable insights and tips to help you prepare for the hunting season. So grab your gear, tune in, and let's get ready for the hunt together. Happy listening!
