Episode 138 finds me with mixed emotions. I recently tagged out on bucks in Georgia. However, both bucks I have taken in GA with my longbow were not perfect shots. The second buck was taken on 12/04/22 and the shot was a lot further back than I wanted. I ended up not tracking that buck and waited for 12 hours and then picked up his track with the help of a tracking dog. We found the buck just over 200 yards away but I would have much preferred a quicker, and cleaner kill. It happens to all bowhunters, we don’t like it but it just will happen if you shoot at enough critters. In this episode  I share the hunt with you, my approach to recovery and details about what went wrong. Please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher and leave a rating and review.

In Episode 137 the topic for discussion is around pre-scouting vs going in blind or “run n gun” for whitetails. Really it is just my thoughts on the advantages for each method and a little of the thought process I use when choosing a location whether I am scouting in the off season for the coming year or if scouting from my computer to choose a location to go in blind. Hopefully you will find something in this episode that is useful for your future hunts. Please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher and leave a rating and review.

Episode 136 finds me running solo again. This episode is all about a recent successful bowhunt that came within inches of being a failed attempt. I took a shot at a whitetail buck at about 18 yards, I was focusing so hard on the spot I wanted to hit that I never even noticed the small limb just a few feet from my bow. The arrow struck the limb almost immediately on release and as I watch the arrow I expected a miss but watched while it appeared that my arrow bounced off the bucks shoulder or leg. What I found a half hour later when I went to retrieve my arrow is still a bit hard for me to believe and I was there. Hopefully some lessons to be learned in this episode, I hope you enjoy.

Nick Viau

Episode 135 Nick joins the podcast for a Thanksgiving 2022 episode to catch on success for the 2022 Whitetail season. Nick had success in early November at the Michigan Deer camp he nicknamed “Camp Classy” years ago. I also have had success with a nice 8 point buck in North Carolina with a muzzleloader and a public land doe with my longbow “Yankee”. On the day we recorded this episode I had morning success with a nice GA buck but that story is for a future episode. We hope you enjoy this episode and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Episode 134 It won’t be long before the misery of sweating profusely to get to your hunting location turns into the misery of being still for long periods of time without freezing.

Work and personal obligations (along with unusually warm temperatures even for Georgia) have kept me from spending as much time in the woods as I normally would and I find myself needing a way to break out of my funk and keep me going.

In Episode #38 I sit down for a most informative discussion with Mr. Robert Carter, known to many simply as “RC”. Robert is one of the most accomplished Traditional Bowhunters you will ever meet. Every year he simply gets it done with Deer, Turkey and Pigs. Robert hunts mostly public land and uses the approach of locating specific “feed trees” that deer and pig are targeting at a very specific point in time. This style of mobile hunting has garnered the name “Run n Gun” hunting the last year or so but RC and a lot of other guys like Chris Spikes and Warren Womack have been hunting this way for years. In this episode I get into the details asking RC specific questions about how he uses his woodsmanship and knowledge.

Cameron Mortenson

In Episode #7 Steve sits down with guest Cameron Mortenson fly fisherman and owner of The Fiberglass Manifesto. I fell in love with The Fiberglass Manifesto blog the first time I visited it. The articles, the photography and the layout were all superb. It didn’t take a lot of time before I was hooked (pun intended) and started looking for a fiberglass flyrod to try for myself. At the same time I reached out to the owner of the website, Cameron Mortenson and asked if he would like to be a guest on the show. Cameron accepted and after a couple weeks to align schedules we sat down and had an entertaining and educational discussion about fly fishing and the resurgent of fiberglass flyrods. A resurgence that many fly fisherman feel (myself included) Cameron is responsible for.   Cameron Mortenson Show Notes:  Introduction to Cameron Mortenson Cameron’s start with Fly Fishing Types of fishing and Cameron’s journey to glass rods A history of The Fiberglass Manifesto Steve’s fly fishing journey Why you should consider trying a glass fly rod Cameron’s recommendation for a beginner or aspiring fly fisherman Mid range rod recommendations Reasons glass might not always be the first recommendation Do your own research as well.

In Episode #29 Nick and I welcome Todd Smith and Isaac Jestus back to the podcast to discuss Dr. Ed Ashby’s 12 Factors for Arrow Penetration. As you will hear we had a LOT of fun and probably laughed more during this recording than any we have done to date. We discussed our personal thoughts on some of these 12 points, which we feel strongest about and there may be a few surprises regarding some of the factors and how they relate, or perhaps don’t relate to the average hunter and game he is pursuing. This really was a lot of fun and even though it did run a little long I think you will find this is mostly because we were all having a lot of fun.  This episode is sponsored by Java Man Archery. Show Notes:  Introductions Winner of the broadhead giveaway announced Welcome to Todd and Isaac The 12 Factors of Arrow Penetration – Structural Integrity Arrow Flight Forward of Center – FOC  Mechanical Advantage Shaft Diameter to Ferrule Diameter Ratio Arrow Mass or Weight  Broadhead Edge Finish Shaft Profile Broadhead/Arrow Silhouette  Type of Edge Bevel  Tip Design Arrow Mass 650 and Above   Please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher and leave us a rating and review.

In episode 72 Nick and I discuss the current Saddle Hunting resurgence and as a hunter who has used a saddle a bit over the past year I try to answer some of Nick’s questions about use, effectiveness and it if is as good as some would have you believe. I love hunting from a saddle but at the same time I do not feel it is the “one size fits all” solution that some would have you believe. In this episode we discuss pros and cons, cover saddle terminology and talk about both equipment needed for saddle hunting and why it might appeal to you. While Nick and I are both traditional bowhunters really most of what we discuss can be applied regardless of weapon. Have a question we did not address? Then pease shoot us an email to podcast@traditionaloutdoors.com and we may cover it in a future episode.

In Episode #13 we proud to have our good friend, fellow podcaster and deer hunter Jason Samkowiak on the podcast to talk about his newly released DVD set which is sort of a “Part 2” of his Scouting for Whitetail tutorial DVDs. His DVD’s are simple, straightforward and are packed with real woods experience about what to look for if you want to get “stickbow close” to whitetail deer this fall. You can find more information about Jason’s podcast and the DVDs on his website, Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast. In this episode we also introduce a new segment to the show called “Passing Down Traditions”. We plan for this to be a regular segment going forward where we will take just a few minutes to share any news or information related to preserving our outdoor traditions or in some cases it may be hints or suggestions around passing down traditions by getting youths involved in the outdoors. We hope you will find this information useful and timely.
