In this episode of the Outdoor Podcast, we dive into one of the most chilling and mysterious true outdoor stories ever reported. On November 15, 2015, 82-year-old hunter Tom Messick entered the woods near Brant Lake in New York’s Adirondack Mountains with six other men for what was supposed to be a routine deer drive. Positioned as a stander while the others pushed deer toward him, Tom was an experienced outdoorsman familiar with the terrain. But something strange happened that day. The woods were described as eerily quiet. One hunter reported hearing an unusual sound shortly before the group realized Tom was missing. Despite massive search efforts involving hundreds of volunteers, K9 units, helicopters, state police, and even the FBI, no trace of Tom Messick was ever found. His rifle and walkie-talkie disappeared with him, and he never responded to radio calls. Was it a tragic accident? A medical emergency? Or something far more mysterious? This is a true outdoor story that continues to puzzle investigators and haunt the hunting community to this day. 🎙️ Subscribe for more true outdoor stories, hunting mysteries, and real wilderness accounts. 👍 Like & comment your thoughts — what do YOU think happened? #TrueOutdoorStories #OutdoorPodcast #HuntingMystery Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As crossbows become more common in archery seasons, opinions are divided. Jay brings an industry-wide perspective to discuss the ethical arguments, misconceptions, and realities behind crossbow hunting, and how hunters can move forward while protecting conservation, access, and public perception. 🎙️ Topics include: • The Crossbow Wars explained • Ethics vs technology in hunting • Crossbows and fair chase • Crossbow vs compound bow debates • Conservation and hunter unity This is a must-watch podcast for anyone passionate about archery, bowhunting, and the future of hunting.

Takeaways Crossbows are often unfairly criticized by traditional bow hunters. The hunting community should focus on inclusivity rather than division.

Community support is crucial for the future of hunting rights. The relationship between manufacturers and consumers is important for product development.
