Send Travis a Text Message Today on the show I'm joined by Travis Shirer to hear how he was able to successfully take two deer in the first two weeks of season using his trusty stick bow. One of the does was taken at 3 yards away while Trav was only 3 ft up in a tree!  The later part of the podcast we hear about the big 10 point I nicknamed Brutus and how I was able to get my chance and punch my Ohio buck tag on him. All videos will be available on our Shedding Light Outdoor YouTube. Want to support us? Check out our merch shop here and get yourself a hat or 1/4 zip! https://shedding-light-outdoors.square.site/

Send Travis a Text Message Today I’m joined by my daughter Ansley, and we unpack the story of how she was able to get her first Tom turkey during youth season in Ohio. If you’ve followed along, we’ve had three previous seasons where it’s been some close encounters, but not able to seal the deal. Things work out perfectly on Saturday and we got some amazing footage that will be coming out soon on our YouTube channel. She was hyper and excited so this made for a fun retelling of the story.

Send Travis a Text Message In episode 111 I shared what I’d learned at that time from each of my turkey harvests…which wasn’t a ton of information. I started in 2014 and have found some success over the years. I’ve had 3 years I ate tag soup and have killed 12 turkeys in that time.  I decided to give a breakdown of lessons learned since that last episode and throw it into a bonus episode.  I share thoughts on blinds, decoys, shooting Jake’s, e-scouting, and more. Hope this helps in some way!
