Our old buddy and veteran bowhunter Jason Wilson makes his return to the show this week. The Georgia native has been chasing whitetail deer with a stick and string for over 4 decades and has managed to successfully take over 200 animals with his bow. We discuss the ins and outs of what it takes to consistently bowhunt whitetail deer but with a real focus on tips for the novice archer.

Highlights from the conversation include:

  • stem cell therapy and how it helped Jason get his health back
  • getting back in shape and keeping the weight off
  • failures as a beginning bowhunter
  • losing animals
  • consistency is key
  • scent control or no?
  • how high in a tree is ideal?
  • smoke show
  • how far should you shoot at a whitetail buck from a tree?
  • practice routine- less is more with number of arrows
  • Obsession
  • scoping yourself with a rifle
  • the beauty of suppressors
  • the joy of taking a new hunter
