In Episode #53 Nick and I are joined by Mrs. Karen Campbell to discuss her whirlwind introduction to Traditional Bowhunting. In a fairly short amount of time Karen not only learned to shoot a longbow but she went on to take wild hogs, alligators, small game and ultimately an Asiatic Buffalo in the Australia Outback. Over the course of around 1 year Karen worked her way into a 70# longbow and headed to Australia to hunt alongside her hunting partner and husband Jay Campbell. This one was a lot of fun to record.

In Episode #51 We welcome traditional bowhunter, flyfisher, author and entrepreneur Jay Campbell to the show. Jay is the author of one of my all time favorite bowhunting books, “Longbow – A Hunting Life” and someone I have been wanting to have on the show for some time. We had an amazing conversation with Jay, the only thing that would have made it better is if we were joining him at his home on a secluded Bahamas Island. We hope you enjoy and don’t forget to get entered into the drawing for the Custom Fly rod from Scott Spray Rods

In Episode #49 Steve and Nick welcome Will Jenkins to the show to discuss his newest outdoor passion, Upland Bird Hunting. Nick and I both met Will somewhere around late 2011 to early 2012 through social media. It was around this time that Will was launching The Will to Hunt, Nick was just starting blogging with what would become Life and Longbows and I was in the early stages of starting Simply Traditional. Though we have known each other for many years, neither Nick nor I have met Will face to face so it was great to finally at least get to sit down virtually and have a conversation with all three of us on the line. If you have never heard of Will’s website I highly recommend you check it out. Some great content and some of the most honest equipment reviews you will ever find.

In Episode #48 Steve welcomes Ryan Gill back to the show to discuss his recent hunt for American Bison with an Atlatl. Now this was not just a hunt but it was also fully documented by Professor Candidate Morgan Smith of Texas A&M University and Morgan joins us to discuss the hunt from both the angle of the research involved but also the experience through the eyes of a non-hunter. Some pretty good stuff in this one. Now for those that do not know Ryan, he is an accomplished bowyer, atlatl hunter, flint knapper, author, and just a wealth of information about primitive skills. Ryan is the owner of Gills Primitive Archery where you can order everything from Ryan’s books, his bows and other primitive tools and even moccasins. He is also the owner of the Hunt Primitive YouTube channel, where Ryan focuses on “Re-creative & Experimental Archaeology Through Practical Application.”
