    Vanished in the Adirondacks: The Chilling Tom Messick Hunting Mystery

    In this episode of the Outdoor Podcast, we dive into one of the most chilling and mysterious true outdoor stories ever reported. On November 15, 2015, 82-year-old hunter Tom Messick entered the woods near Brant Lake in New York’s Adirondack Mountains with six other men for what was supposed to be a routine deer drive. Positioned as a stander while the others pushed deer toward him, Tom was an experienced outdoorsman familiar with the terrain. But something strange happened that day. The woods were described as eerily quiet. One hunter reported hearing an unusual sound shortly before the group realized Tom was missing. Despite massive search efforts involving hundreds of volunteers, K9 units, helicopters, state police, and even the FBI, no trace of Tom Messick was ever found. His rifle and walkie-talkie disappeared with him, and he never responded to radio calls. Was it a tragic accident? A medical emergency? Or something far more mysterious? This is a true outdoor story that continues to puzzle investigators and haunt the hunting community to this day. 🎙️ Subscribe for more true outdoor stories, hunting mysteries, and real wilderness accounts. 👍 Like & comment your thoughts — what do YOU think happened? #TrueOutdoorStories #OutdoorPodcast #HuntingMystery Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bhp-podcast/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    The Crossbow Wars: Crossbows, Ethics & the Future of Bowhunting with Jay Pinsky

    ALL THINGS BHP (Discounts, Links, Dave's Picks) - https://shor.by/BHP Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4uDE4SLh9KYWU8EZIkBKGg/join SHOPBHP - https://shopbowhunterplanet.com/ In this episode, we tackle “The Crossbow Wars”—the ongoing debate surrounding crossbow use, hunting ethics, and fair chase—with Jay Pinsky from Outdoor Wire and Archery Wire. As crossbows become more common in archery seasons, opinions are divided. Jay brings an industry-wide perspective to discuss the ethical arguments, misconceptions, and realities behind crossbow hunting, and how hunters can move forward while protecting conservation, access, and public perception. 🎙️ Topics include: • The Crossbow Wars explained • Ethics vs technology in hunting • Crossbows and fair chase • Crossbow vs compound bow debates • Conservation and hunter unity This is a must-watch podcast for anyone passionate about archery, bowhunting, and the future of hunting. In this episode, Dave Thomas and Jay Pinsky discuss the ongoing debate surrounding crossbows in the hunting community. They explore the ethics of hunting, the impact of crossbows on new hunters, and the importance of inclusivity within the archery community. The conversation also delves into the business side of archery, highlighting the role of the Archery Wire and Outdoor Wire in disseminating industry news and innovations in archery equipment. Takeaways Crossbows are often unfairly criticized by traditional bow hunters. The hunting community should focus on inclusivity rather than division. Ethics in hunting are determined by the hunter, not the equipment used. New hunters often find crossbows to be a more accessible entry point into the sport. The Archery Wire and Outdoor Wire serve as vital platforms for industry news. Innovation in archery equipment benefits all types of hunters. Community support is crucial for the future of hunting rights. The relationship between manufacturers and consumers is important for product development. Crossbows have brought new participants into the hunting community. The stories behind the products are as important as the products themselves.  LINK - https://www.archerywire.com/ Products Used: Carbon Express: https://www.feradyne.com/brands/carbon-express/products/ Block Targets: https://www.feradyne.com/brands/block-targets/ Trophy Ridge : TAKE 20% off use code BHP2024 https://www.beararchery.com/pages/trophy-ridge XOP: https://xopoutdoors.com/ MOULITRE : https://www.moultrie.com/ GAS Bowstrings: https://gasbowstrings.com/ Burris: https://www.burrisoptics.com/ Element Outdoors: https://elementoutdoors.com/ HELP SUPPORT US - https://www.bowhunterplanet.com/plans-pricing NEW website - https://www.bowhunterplanet.com/ Follow us on: TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@bowhunterplanet?lang=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/bowhunterplanet/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bowhunterplanet/?hl=en Twitter - https://twitter.com/bowhunterplanet #archery #deerhunting #bowhunting the crossbow wars, crossbow wars podcast, crossbow hunting ethics, hunting ethics debate, jay pinsky, archery wire, outdoor wire, crossbow fair chase, ethical bowhunting, modern hunting ethics, crossbow vs compound bow, archery controversy, crossbow season debate Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bhp-podcast/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
