    EPISODE 020 - The Anatomy Hunter

    On this episode, we sit down with Brian Johnson, betterknown as The Anatomy Hunter, for a fascinating look at what actually happens inside an animal after an arrow hits. Drawing on decades of experience in taxidermy, wildlife sculpting, field research, and anatomy, Brian takes us behind the scenes of his work studying kill zones, shot placement, and the mechanics that determine whether an animal dies quickly or survives. This conversation goes beyond simply talking about where toplace a shot. Brian explains why anatomy varies so dramatically between species and how those differences should influence everything from shot selection to broadhead choice. We also explore why some seemingly “perfect” shots can produce surprisingly poor blood trails and why hunters need to think differently when pursuing elk, deer, bear, pigs, and moose. Whether you’re a hunter, tracker, or simply interested in understanding animal anatomy, this episode offers an evidence-based perspective that can change the way you think about shot placement. Brian is also working to make animal anatomy more accessible through visual tools and educational resources, helping hunters better understand what’s happening beneath the surface when the moment of truth arrives.
