Episode 788: So, You Want to Be Bowhunter?

What this episode covers

Our old buddy and veteran bowhunter Jason Wilson makes his return to the show this week. The Georgia native has been chasing whitetail deer with a stick and string for over 4 decades and has managed to successfully take over 200 animals with his bow. We discuss the ins and outs of what it takes to consistently bowhunt whitetail deer but with a real focus on tips for the novice archer. Highlights from the conversation include: * stem cell therapy and how it helped Jason get his health back * getting back in shape and keeping the weight off * failures as a beginning bowhunter * losing animals * consistency is key * scent control or no? * how high in a tree is ideal? * smoke show * how far should you shoot at a whitetail buck from a tree? * practice routine- less is more with number of arrows * Obsession * scoping yourself with a rifle * the beauty of suppressors * the joy of taking a new hunter
