    How Target Archery Builds Better Hunters - Nate Sellers

    The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 390: From the Line to the Timber: How Target Archery Builds Better Hunters - Nate Sellers In this episode of the The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, Adam Miller sits down with Nate Sellers to break down the energy and opportunity surrounding the Lancaster Archery Classic—a rare stage where amateur archers can test themselves alongside elite competitors. They discuss why Lancaster provides a unique proving ground for up-and-coming shooters and how managing downtime between ends is just as important as executing the shot itself. A major theme of the conversation is developing a “goldfish mentality”—the ability to forget a bad arrow instantly and move forward without hesitation. Nate explains how shooting spots sharpens precision during the off-season and why competition speed limits help maintain fairness across divisions. They also contrast tournament shooting with bowhunting scenarios, highlighting how mental discipline translates between both worlds. The episode dives into the path to becoming a professional archer, emphasizing the serious time commitment, financial investment, and lifestyle dedication required to compete at the highest level. Beyond technical skill, Nate shares that the true separators are the intangibles—focus, composure, and work ethic—that simply can’t be taught. They also explore the current state of 3D archery in Central Pennsylvania, advancements in bow technology that have dramatically reduced common equipment failures, and the critical role pro shop owners play in proper setup and maintenance. The discussion wraps with insights on gear innovation, including how customer feedback directly shapes product development at brands like Huntworth. This episode is packed with value for competitive archers, bowhunters, and anyone serious about improving their mental game, equipment reliability, and long-term performance in the sport of archery. https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/)  - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) s https://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com (https://www.lucky-buck.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/)   https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon Learn more about your ad choices.

    He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors

    The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 387: He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors In this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast, Adam sits down to talk with Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors to break down the real-world challenges of public land hunting, covering strategy, mindset, and decision-making from start to finish of a hard-fought hunt. The discussion explores balancing family life and hunting season, managing expectations, and adapting when conditions and pressure don’t go as planned. A pivotal moment in the hunt sparks the core debate of the episode: while glassing a buck, another hunter spotted the same deer, slipped in, and ultimately shot it out from in front of them. What followed became a race to the buck—and a larger conversation about ethics, unwritten rules, and fair play on public land. Was the other hunter in the wrong, or was it simply part of hunting ground that belongs to everyone? Beyond that moment, the episode dives into missed opportunities, mid-hunt adjustments, weather challenges, deer movement, and spot-and-stalk versus ground hunting tactics. Mental toughness and patience are tested as pressure increases from other hunters, leading to honest reflections on luck vs skill, scouting, preparation, and lessons learned for future hunts.

    One-Buck Rule Debate & Michigan Deer Herd Health - Josh Arbogast - The Michigan Whitetail Project

    The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 385: One-Buck Rule Debate & Michigan Deer Herd Health - Josh Arbogast - The Michigan Whitetail Project In this episode of The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, Adam Miller, Nate Rozeveld, and Josh Arbogast dive into the current and future state of Michigan deer hunting regulations, with a strong focus on upcoming Natural Resource Commission (NRC) meetings and how hunter involvement can shape deer management decisions. The conversation centers on potential regulatory changes including the one-buck rule, doe harvest strategies, and antler point restrictions (APR). Josh explains why the April and May NRC meetings are critical moments for Michigan hunters, stressing that meaningful improvements to deer herd health won’t happen without a unified and informed hunting community. The hosts explore the cultural divide within Michigan’s hunting landscape, contrasting regional experiences and questioning what “opportunity” really means when it comes to sustainable deer management. They discuss the importance of maintaining proper buck-to-doe ratios, effective doe harvest, and data-driven decisions to improve long-term hunting quality—not just short-term success. Throughout the episode, Adam, Nate, and Josh share personal hunting stories, lessons learned in the field, and insights on scouting, access strategies, and the mental side of hunting. The episode wraps with a clear call to action: hunters must engage in the regulatory process, attend NRC meetings, and work together to advocate for a healthier deer herd and a stronger future for Michigan hunting. 03:06 – Introduction to the Podcast and Guests04:27 – Importance of Upcoming NRC Meetings07:42 – Overview of Deer Regulations and Changes12:56 – Cultural Shifts in Hunting Practices19:31 – Strategies for Better Hunting in Michigan30:51 – Debating the One-Buck Rule and Its Implications40:18 – Concluding Thoughts on Deer Management43:56 – Defining Better Hunting in Michigan50:06 – The Importance of Buck-to-Doe Ratios56:52 – Advocating for Change in Deer Management01:05:59 – The Role of Hunters in Resource Management01:15:32 – Building a Unified Hunting Community01:24:25 – The Greater Good of Hunting01:24:49 – Josh’s Successful Buck Shot01:25:59 – Access Strategies and Hunting Tactics01:32:31 – The Importance of Scouting and Camera Use01:37:08 – Mental Aspects of Hunting01:43:00 – Setting Realistic Hunting Goals01:46:29 – Engaging with Wildlife Management https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/)  - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) s https://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com (https://www.lucky-buck.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/)   https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon Learn more about your ad choices.
