Does it seem like some folks spend all their time hunting? Some of us do get to hunt more than others but keeping a healthy balance with your time as a parent, spouse, employee etc. is the real goal.

Archers and bowhunters of all ages can sit back and let their imagination wander as Jim Eeckhout and Bryan Burkhardt take us back in time. 60 years ago Glenn St. Charles led a large group of bowhunters north to Alaska which included none other than Fred Bear. Bryan and Jim recreate this hunt to honor that memory. You may want to check out The Tribute Hunt episode from May of this year.

I finally catch up with the Bear Huntin' fool Clay Newcomb. We talk Bears, bows, Mules and Elk. We tried to catch up in late June but he is a busy man. I imagine he will be a bit busier since he has now been bitten by the Elk hunting bug. For the best explanation on shot placement for Bear's check Bear Hunting Magazine Podcast title "Shot Placement for Dummies. Tom Clum jumps in for a bit about selecting used bows.

This episode is a recap of my recent hunt in central Idaho. I am joined by a relatively new bowhunter and former guest Kenny Markwardt. While we get in to plenty of action we also explore the difficulties  complexities Kenny faces as an adult learning to hunt. It was a great hunt in every aspect and I think you will all find it humorous, one of the most important aspect of my hunts. Did Steve Rinella and The Meateater crew really slight Kenny? You be the judge.

I really enjoyed talking to this young lady. As a high level competition 3-D archer, the challenge of traditional archery caught Bailey's eye. While audio issues cut us short I enjoyed hearing what drove her interest, the support she had, the naysayers, and how she has become proficient in a short period of time. Lets not beat the new crowd over the head with our preconceived notionsTech tip;Toelke Traditional, Our sponsors;Selway Archery,The Footed Shaft, Professional Bowhunters Society

All the preparation and anticipation that leads up to our time in the field cannot prepare us for the disappointment when things go wrong. However it still makes a memory and in this episode we have a good time recounting those epic failures. I mean who ever recounts a story when it all comes together, results in a notched tag and yet you can laugh hysterically.

Finally it all comes together, all the anticipation and hard work. Now what. We have all been there and if you haven't yet it is your end goal.

We love introducing the listeners to characters that we know but you would likely never hear of them except for this type of media. Rich is a guy that has been bending a single string for several decades and putting meat on the table. The bowhunting scene in Montana in the 70's and 80's included a whole host of characters and Rich was in the thick of it.  Also you will notice a tip on arrow speed from our friend Jared @ Toelke Traditional Bows mid .
