Today we jump in the truck with MadMan and discuss his recent scouting & hunts while he heads to ArKansas to chase a giant on a public land special hunt. We also discuss how this time of year, strategies need to stay mobile, be prepared to lock-in where you find the hot sun and how being ready can make or break your chance at a daylighting buck! No Edits, No Fancyness...just two ole boys talking deer on the road to the next hunt camp!

There are some people in life that just should of been famous! With the name ole Jackie has, "He Should of Been a Cowboy" plays for days in his background...maybe some day we'll see him on the big screen carrying his "six shooter!" Until then, we'll listen to the stories of his continued success & man he is on a tare in 2026! From Tennessee, Kentucky to O HI O Jackie has had success everywhere he turns! This man is nothing short of hard work, clean living and bloody arrows!

The story of Medusa!!! Every deer has a story and a unique one at that...this one may take the cake!! This is a "suburban buck" where true woodsmanship, the help of MRI and a nudge from some buddies to stop thinking and SHOOT! end a story with trully a unique deer and quite possibly the best of his lifetime...thus far! Join Chad Hepner and his electric stories (as usual) to discuss this deer with the proper name of Medusa!

Sometimes in our lives we are given an opportunity to bless others with our actions. The Pin Arrow Challenge is exactly that for me. This is why in the month of September, I was MIA. I along with the help from Brent with A3 Custom Strings, built a crowd funding effort for 2 very deserving families in need. The Camp & Martin families have been pivotal people in my journey in ASA Archery. We have become very good friends and in the archery trail, more like family. As Rebecca & Debi were recently diagnosed with breast cancer, it only felt right to create a movement of crowd funding to support these families in their journeys to ring the bell in the fight against cancer. The industry has stepped up in a big way and got on-board by supporting in weekly prize drawings, bow waffles and visual support on social pages...all in the name of kicking cancers A..through the donations provided by individuals just like you!!! Listen along as we talk about these ladies journies, the efforts of sponsors, donors and how you can make a difference moving forward! All because of the 1-Shot Challenge we do here at the Bowhunting League!!

As Bobby Boucher momma would say, 'Wax is the devil!' :) Nock Pinch, Incorrect Peep ties, Wax fibers vs Waxless fibers and the list goes on and on and on! Join Guest Brent Kinchen as we discuss the evolution of bowstrings, the improper fitments of a build and how the changes have affected the industry and those behind the bow.

Join Robbie & I as we discuss the tricks to travel hunting! It's not what you think...it isn't about the technology, the gear or the information that you are capable of obtaining on where the next giant lives. It's about the support from those we are closest to, the sacrifices made both ways and the appreciation for the passion. Giving more than you take keeps you in the hunt when the time is right!
