Traditional Outdoors Podcast: Preserving our Outdoor Traditions

There comes a time to know when to quit, this is that episode. I won’t get into all the details here but I did say when Nick and I restarted recording episodes that if I decided it was time to stop I would be sure to let everyone know this time instead of just disappearing. In this episode we announce the winner of Nick’s hardcover edition of Clumsy Predators and then we get into why it is time to wrap things up for the podcast. The content on YouTube may continue sporadically but so far as the podcast goes, it is time to wrap things up. We hope you understand. With that it is time to say so long, but we are not saying goodbye to any of you. Thank you for the time to share our love for the outdoors with you, we appreciate you all.

Nick and I spend a bit of time catching up and then jump into a discussion about vinyl records. I know this is a bit out of the ordinary but we had spoken at the end of our last episode about how vinyl records had made such a comeback and the similarities between traditional archery/bowhunting and vinyl records. As you will hear we are a bit passionate about both and Nick and I really had a good time with this episode. We hope you enjoy it as well.

Also, at the beginning and end of the episode we discuss a giveaway for listeners. Nick is giving away a copy of his book Clumsy Predators (https://amzn.to/4cCL0AF) in hardcover.

Nick and I spend a bit of time having a discussion about a recent Facebook post that got our attention. The post we are talking about asked the question: “would our great grandfathers would be proud of the pursuit of trophy whitetails by hunters today?”. There was a good bit more unpack with that post and Nick and I just had a conversation much like we would have done had we been sitting around a campfire. Nothing we say here was meant to be an attack on the individual that made the post or to make it personal in any way, we do understand the point the person was trying to make, it was simply the thoughts that we had come to mind that found their way into our conversation and we recorded an episode while sharing those thoughts. We hope you enjoy and would love to hear your own thoughts on this topic.

With recent events in the traditional archery community Nick and I both felt we needed to reflect on time spent with individuals no longer with us and their impact on the sport. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Brumm, he will be greatly missed.

Nick rejoins me for a podcast recording session for the first time in over a year. We spend the time catching up and sharing insights into our 2023 Whitetail seasons. I personally made it out very little with a longbow in ’23 but I did return to hunting with both Blackpowder and firearms in 23 and Nick shares some details about multiple opportunities and some lessons learned.
