(Psst! Support the show by sharing this episode to facebook/twitter – thank you!!)
This episode is a hilarious hot mess.
We’re talking to Jack and Gary from the Bowdudes about their Colorado pronghorn hunt with Fred Eichler and Full Draw Outfitters.
Meanwhile we have some pretty serious speakerphone echo, a grandfather clock that chimes at regular intervals, answering machines taking calls in the background and conversations about pooping in the desert.
Shenanigans…

Sunday Morning Musings – Sometimes a Punch in the Face is Needed
Sometimes I have no idea how I got here.
Sometimes I get sucked into situations I have no business being in.
Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew and then smack myself in the forehead in regret and mutter “what was I thinking???” .
I do however, find some solace in thinking I’m not alone in this.
It’s funny, I’ve never aspired to be famous or a promoter of women in the outdoors or anything like that. I’m just a chick with a podcast and a blog that enjoys hunting and fishing and I just really like doing what I do. Read More

Saint Patrick was a bow hunter…well ok, not really.
He was actually too busy getting kidnapped by raiders and escaping to study Christianity and to eventually become an Irish Saint.
March 17th is the day of his death and became forever called Saint Patrick’s Day.
I’m telling you right now, nothing would make me happier if someday I could have my own holiday where people party and drink green colored Harp beer or Black and Tans all day and celebrate all that is right in the world in remembrance of me! Read More

Gear Review: Carbon Express X-Buster and the X2 Series Easton Aluminum Arrows
Paper Target archers are sometimes stuck between two masters – the NFAA and World Archery. The NFAA doesn’t have an arrow restriction. If you can fling it, it’s 27/64″ in diameter, and someone produced it – you can shoot it. World Archery, on the other hand, has a restriction on maximum arrow diameters – which is 9.3 millimeters (or 23/64″) in diameter. Read More

Reading and Understanding Topographical Maps
The use of topographical maps is one of the most useful tools you can use in search of big game. Knowing how to read and understand topo maps is a skill that has taken me quite a few years to fully understand. I will try and explain some of the things I have learned throughout the years. Read More

Five Strategies for Hunting Spring Snow Goose
Snow Goose conservation season offers waterfowl hunters a way to extend their season. Also known as “light geese” snows have become so incredibly prolific that they are quite literally eating themselves out of house and home, along with causing serious damage to the ecosystems that support them.

Weight a Minute: A Look at Traditional Draw Weight
Now that you are interested in hunting with a traditional bow, it is time to consider draw weight and the absence of let-off, which I feel is the compound’s greatest advantage. Traditional bows do not assist you once fully drawn. Holding an 80lb longbow at full draw is monumentally tougher than an 80lb compound with let-off, which makes choosing a bow with the correct draw weight Read More

Warming Up, Exercises and Training for Archery
Archery appears to be a low impact sport where injuries are not common. One can walk up and down the shooting line at any club or event and think most archers could use a diet. I am going to go out on a limb here and ask you some questions. How many of you have a burning pain under your shoulder blade? How about your elbow? Anyone have arthritic pain in the joints of your fingers? If you answered yes to any of these question, chances are you have a repetitive sports injury. Read More

Gear Review: Fuse Mossy Oak Micro USB Car Charger
Imagine a scenario where you have been sitting in a treestand for somewhere between 3 and 10 hours and you played on your smartphone enough that the battery is dead. Your hunt is over for the day but you need to call your wife to let her know that you are on your way home. Don’t you wish you had a phone charger in your hunting truck? Read More

Finding the Correct Draw Length for Your Compound Bow
When it comes to shooting your bow to the very best of your ability, it’s critical to find your correct draw length. So many people walk into an archery shop, spread their “wings” out over a ruler on the wall and have it declared, for example, “YOUR DRAW LENGTH IS 28.5”. A bow in that draw range is selected off the wall, adjusted to the declared draw length and, more times than not, it appears to fit the person perfectly. I know this because I’ve done it over and over myself while working in an archery shop during the silly season of July and August. Read More

Destination Review: Haven by the Falls, Mercer, Wisconsin
Recently I stayed at Haven by the Falls in Mercer, Wisconsin. The local area is heavily wooded and the privately located side by side duplex sits on the water near the small falls. If you are into hunting, fishing or anything outside it can be done from this centrally located property. The parking outside has plenty of room to accommodate boat trailers, other larger trailers or multiple vehicles. I found the property to rate at 3 out of 5. It is fairly average for condition and rates but could use improvements. Read More
