Episode 788: So, You Want to Be Bowhunter?
Update: 2025-08-18
Description
Our old buddy and veteran bowhunter Jason Wilson makes his return to the show this week. The Georgia native has been chasing whitetail deer with a stick and string for over 4 decades and has managed to successfully take over 200 animals with his bow. We discuss the ins and outs of what it takes to consistently bowhunt whitetail deer but with a real focus on tips for the novice archer.
Highlights from the conversation include:
* stem cell therapy and how it helped Jason get his health back
* getting back in shape and keeping the weight off
* failures as a beginning bowhunter
* losing animals
* consistency is key
* scent control or no?
* how high in a tree is ideal?
* smoke show
* how far should you shoot at a whitetail buck from a tree?
* practice routine- less is more with number of arrows
* Obsession
* scoping yourself with a rifle
* the beauty of suppressors
* the joy of taking a new hunter
