The Arrowheads Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

A.J. Dube' joins us to talk about getting control of his weigh (and losing 70lbs!), how Cheetos are great hunting food, and how he lives to chase Elk and Whitetail in the mountains of Montana. 

Mr. Hayes phones in to talk about bow building, hunting tactics, a bow with a story, his young son's recent trad success and more. We'll warn you now--you may want to try making your own bow after this one. 

Episode #9 is an informative chat with Tim Marion, a Minnesota DNR Wildlife Area Supervisor. Tim breaks down the different programs that restore and maintain public hunting areas and explains land acquisition and the hurdles therein. If you want to know more about where your conservation and license dollars go, and who our conservation allies are, listen in and learn. 

For Episode #8, we had hunter/filmmaker Donnie Vincent swing by.  Few of us can spin a tale like Donnie, so we've brought a few hunting stories--both good and bad.  And of course, we talk about his recent dive into Traditional archery, coaching with Tom Clum & Joel Turner and his trad hunting plans for this season. It's a long one, but we promise it's worth it! 

On this 7th Episode, guest Aron Snyder of KifaruCast joins the guys. Topics range from Aron's discussion with Dr. Ed Ashby to hunting whitetails. They also talk about the growing trend of "center of mass" shots and arrow lethality. With some sage advice for the Midwest archer looking to hunt the Western states --you won't want to miss this Episode. 

This episode, the guys discuss the 2018 season's ups & downs and the issue of shrinking public land hunt options. 
The ever-evolving shot sequence: anchor, tension and so-on. 
Also, new goals, gear and strategies for the 2019 Hunt season. 

Kristof has more success and ends an 16 year streak of getting skunked on the Family Hunt land (this time with a rifle). The RUT weekend getaway was one for the books! T.C. shoots an even bigger buck than the one he was targeting, but the outcome leaves him disappointed. Spoiler alert: some humble pie is eaten... There's still season left, so the guys make late-season plans and T.C. preps to take a few weeks off to be camera-man on a hunt film with Donnie Vincent.

The 2018 hunting season is well under way and we've found some success in the woods! On our 4th episode, we're reliving opening weekend and hearing Kristof's story of his first bow kill for the year.  We also break down our bow/arrow & stand set-ups and why we chose the hardware we use. Season goals-- they might be evolving as we head into the Rut? T.C.'s got a deer he's aiming to meet up with and Kristof bought a bigger freezer!

Chef, author and hunter John Wipfli joins us to talk about his cookbook “Venison: The Slay to Gourmet Field to Kitchen Cookbook” He shares lessons learned from his years of hunting and wild game cooking. We also pick John’s brain about his Alaska moose hunt last season. Have you ever heard of a "moose mirage"? We hadn’t either, but John thinks he saw one. If you want to learn more about the animal you hunt and how to cook it better, tune in to hear what John has to say. We had a blast having him in the studio!
