Traditional Outdoors: Recent Episodes
Steve Angell & Nick Viau
Nick and I spend a bit of time having a discussion about a recent Facebook post that got our attention. The post we are talking about asked the question: “would our great grandfathers would be proud of the pursuit of trophy whitetails by hunters today?”. There was a good bit more unpack with that post and Nick and I just had a conversation much like we would have done had we been sitting around a campfire. Nothing we say here was meant to be an attack on the individual that made the post or to make it personal in any way, we do understand the point the person was trying to make, it was simply the thoughts that we had come to mind that found their way into our conversation and we recorded an episode while sharing those thoughts. We hope you enjoy and would love to hear your own thoughts on this topic.

Nick rejoins me for a podcast recording session for the first time in over a year. We spend the time catching up and sharing insights into our 2023 Whitetail seasons. I personally made it out very little with a longbow in ’23 but I did return to hunting with both Blackpowder and firearms in 23 and Nick shares some details about multiple opportunities and some lessons learned.

Episode 138 finds me with mixed emotions. I recently tagged out on bucks in Georgia. However, both bucks I have taken in GA with my longbow were not perfect shots. The second buck was taken on 12/04/22 and the shot was a lot further back than I wanted. I ended up not tracking that buck and waited for 12 hours and then picked up his track with the help of a tracking dog. We found the buck just over 200 yards away but I would have much preferred a quicker, and cleaner kill. It happens to all bowhunters, we don’t like it but it just will happen if you shoot at enough critters. In this episode I share the hunt with you, my approach to recovery and details about what went wrong.

In Episode 137 the topic for discussion is around pre-scouting vs going in blind or “run n gun” for whitetails. Really it is just my thoughts on the advantages for each method and a little of the thought process I use when choosing a location whether I am scouting in the off season for the coming year or if scouting from my computer to choose a location to go in blind. Hopefully you will find something in this episode that is useful for your future hunts.

Episode 136 finds me running solo again. This episode is all about a recent successful bowhunt that came within inches of being a failed attempt. I took a shot at a whitetail buck at about 18 yards, I was focusing so hard on the spot I wanted to hit that I never even noticed the small limb just a few feet from my bow. The arrow struck the limb almost immediately on release and as I watch the arrow I expected a miss but watched while it appeared that my arrow bounced off the bucks shoulder or leg. What I found a half hour later when I went to retrieve my arrow is still a bit hard for me to believe and I was there. Hopefully some lessons to be learned in this episode, I hope you enjoy.
