In Episode 63, Stephen continues the conversation with Dakota from TDK Safaris, diving deeper into what makes hunting Africa such a truly unforgettable experience.
In Part 2, we go beyond the logistics and get into the heart of the hunt — the species, the encounters, the terrain, and the raw adventure that comes with stepping into the African bush. Dakota shares what hunters can expect in the field, the diversity of game available, and why Africa offers one of the most action-packed and rewarding hunting experiences in the world.
We also touch on the emotional side of the hunt — the culture, the memories, and why so many hunters find themselves coming back again and again. If you've ever dreamed of hunting Africa, this episode will not only inform you… it will inspire you.

Welcome to another episode of the bowhuntingaz podcast! In this episode I recorded the annual elk hunting seminar hosted by Christian Hunters of America. Our guest speaker for the seminar was the infamous Ralph Ramos sponsored by mossy oak, pse & hecs. Jake and I had an absolute blast this year out at the seminar and I just wanted to thank each and every one of you that stopped by the booth for your support and kind words! It's great to break the social media barriers and put a face to a name! Ralph covers a myriad of topics and really drops all the knowledge we could ever hope for pertaining to elk hunting.

Jason Miller is a true trail cam guru. When it comes to footage and photo's of wildlife being captured I haven't seen an individual yet who tops his consistent postings across social media. Not only does he constantly share his content but the uniqueness and authenticity of wildlife behavior that he posts is literally unparalleled. To be frank the only other people I see posting content of this quality are household names like Jay Scott, Randy Eichler and other large ranch owners in our neighboring state of Colorado. When it comes to the art of trail cams, this guy has it down!

Welcome to episode 9 of the BowhuntingAZ podcast!
In this episode I sit down with my friend Richy Sanderson of BCC Archery Pro Shop and talk bow maintenance. We had spent the weekend out at a 3D Shoot by Full Draw Bowhunters. The shoot took place at Mormon lake just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona.
During our time out there it rained back and forth from a steady sprinkle to a temporary downpour. I absolutely loved shooting in the rain and if given the chance I would recommend that everyone should experience it at least once. The more prepared you are in practice the more prepared you’ll be on a hunt, should something like this occur.
We touch briefly on the new 2018 PSE Evolve 28 and how amazing this bow is. I hope you’re able to walk away with some great knowledge about bow maintenance from this episode. If you need any of the items that richy talked about feel free to visit his shop or call him at 623-696-6310.

Nate and his company are revolutionizing the way the optics industry brings its product to the consumer market. As their slogan says, “Bringing the Game Closer”.

Dont forget to support our troops! For the month of July BowhuntingAZ is donating 20% of all sales on apparel or vehicle stickers to the Healing Warriors program out at Wind River Ranch. Now this money goes directly to support the veterans and their family, helping them to heal and be delivered from the shackles of PTSD, addiction and other issues that come along with the return home from combat. I want to do my part in giving them a well deserved return home. They’ve put it all on the line for us and this is just a minuscule return that we can help out with. A link will be going live shortly in the next few days for an online store. In the meantime DM me on social or email me with your order at bowhuntingaz88@gmail.com.
