    Fred Bear’s Fourth Commandment of Bowhunting

    Episode: Fred Bear’s Fourth Commandment of Bowhunting Release Date: June 11, 2023 -On the Trail … Man that was a big move… and are you done with your draws? -(3:23) Question of the week from Gene I use Thunderhead Broadheads which uses replaceable blades. Can those be sharpened as well? If so, how? I have been reluctant to shoot birds with a bow because of potential broadhead & arrow destruction. As opposed to big game, on level ground you're usually shooting downward with the arrow traveling at high speed after it passes through the bird and into the ground. Any solution to this issue? -(11:01) Exercise of the week – Stretching/Yoga I know it’s hard to get into stretching, but it’s supprisingly good for you, so… you should probably be doing it, and I probably should too. -(15:55) Commandment #3 – Fred Bear’s 4th law of Bowhunting The Best camouflage pattern is called, “Sit down and be quiet!” Your grandpa hunted deer in a red plaid coat. Think about that for a second. In this segment we look into how deer see and what you need to do to beat their eyes. They’re better than you might think.

    Episode 40 - Fred Bear’s Third Commandment of Bowhunting

    Episode: Fred Bear’s Third Commandment of Bowhunting Release Date: May 28, 2023 -On the Trail …  The Not so Basic Basics of Bowhunting was a blast, check it out on Youtube, and the deadline for the draw is coming up in 3 states out west… -(4:20) Question of the week from Kade What licensing/permits/classes do I need to get started?  We dive into all the things you’re going to need to get out there for your first hunt.  We all know about hunter ed classes, but some states require more and some tags have different requirements, so we go through how to figure out what exactly will be required to get out there. -(12:14) Exercise of the week – RUCKING!!!             If there’s one thing that signals the start of summer training for hunting it’s RUCKNIG, and it’s time to get to kicking your own butt so you are ready for the fall. -(18:30) Commandment #3 – Always approach downwind.  In the cool of the day move uphill; in the heat of the day move downhill.             One thing that can’t be talked about enough when discussing big game hunting is the wind.  It’s vital to OBEY, defined as comply with the command, direction, or request of; submit to the authority of, the wind.  And this law brings up not only the predominant wind direction but leads us into a discussion of thermal wind, storm wind and how water affects wind movement in the woods.    The Not So Basic Basics Of Bowhunting:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtcmd7n2w1M   The Deer Hunter’s Guide By Francis E.
