Thunderbird Down and Hatchets with Fletchings

NIck is joined by friends, Adam and John of the Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast where John gives his exclusive on taking a Tom in the early season. John also explains how things get complicated when trying to capture hunts on film, along with having to read minds when hunting in partners. Some ideas are discussed on how this bird is going to be prepared. And how these guys are liking their pellet grill setups. As always a great back and forth episode that you will enjoy. Show Notes Adam and John of Bowhunter Chronicles have taken some large steps this year when it comes to filming their hunts. Up first was John to take a Tom in the earlier season, and Adam running the cameras. Not only was teamwork essential on this hunt, having to “read minds” on when birds were in close, but also juggle the new challenge of social distancing. John recalls his lack of preparedness that afternoon and was surprised by a flock running in. He was able to connect with one of his arrows that Nick calls “a hatchet with fletchings” (Full length arrow with a 4 inch cutting dia. Broadhead, with a total weight over 600 gr.) Now that the bird was down and measured, some discussion went into how they were going to prepare this Tom. Nick shares a tip about using pickle brine that he got from a friend to make moist tender white meat. John also goes into detail about his experience with a very nice pellet grill. He gives some pros and cons and explains the term “buy once, cry once”.
