In this episode Mark Zepp joins Steve in remembering hunter, breeder, trainer, author, innovator and entrepreneur John Wick of Montgomery City, Missouri.“He was Elvis,” Zepp opines in this up-close look at perhaps the most influential man to ever snap a leash on a hound. Through his endless ads and columns in coon hunting magazines, Wick single handedly tackled the task of educating the coonhound masses on the nuances of the sport that one major dog food company called the largest sporting dog activity in America. Zepp worked, traveled and hunted alongside John Wick for ten years at Wick Outdoor Works which at the time was the leading supply company for coon hunters nationwide.  Nobody in the coon hunting game knew Wick better nor was more closely associated with the most recognizable name in the coonhound sport than Zepp.This episode explores the many aspects of this amazing man’s life from the viewpoint of one that knew him best.  Listeners will appreciate this inside look at a very special man indeed.We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, The Troy Fowler discusses the critical elements of hunting, focusing on the roles of arrows and bows in the process of taking down deer. The discussion delves into the technical aspects of hunting equipment, particularly the importance of broadheads and inserts, and challenges common misconceptions about what truly contributes to a successful hunt. Troy also informs Nick of why there was no accumulation of blood between muscles, as the holes were not interrupted by other layers of tissue, allowing for more side meat harvest.Arrows and bows both play crucial roles in hunting, each contributing uniquely to a hunter’s success. The choice of broadhead can significantly impact performance, making it important for hunters to understand the mechanics behind their equipment. Misconceptions about hunting gear often lead to poor decisions in the field, emphasizing the need for proper education and experience. Factors such as the weight of inserts and broadheads must be carefully considered to achieve optimal balance and accuracy. Beyond gear selection, effective hunting also relies on a solid understanding of animal anatomy to ensure ethical and efficient harvests. The debate between the importance of arrows versus bows continues among hunters, but one thing remains clear—quality equipment and a deep knowledge of its use can greatly enhance the hunting experience. Ultimately, hunters who prioritize understanding their gear and continually educate themselves on hunting techniques are the most likely to find consistent success.Show Partners:Umai DryInstagram: @umaidryWebsite: bit.ly/3WhfnnXSign up for the newsletter for 10% offTieBossInstagram: @tiebossllcWebsite: https://tieboss.com/pod?ref=pod Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
