Podcast Description

Anthony and Aneal kick off this episode by talking about role reversals - for once Anthon's lack of turkey hunting experience allows him to be the "dumb guy" on the show.  Anthony quizzes Aneal on his experience hunting turkeys - everything from why Turkey's "shock gobble" to whether or not it is ethical to shoot a turkey off the roost.

This episode is a kickoff to a series of shows dedicated to Turkey hunting with a bow.  Duck season is over, big game seems like a long time away - right now it is time to start talkin turkey.  Listen in and jump start your turkey fix.

As a side note, Anthony, Aneal, and several members of the BowCast team will be off in Vegas - no not to bet on the super bowl, but rather to participate in the National Shooting Sports Foundation SHOT  show.  We look forward to bringing back some additional information about trends in the industry, equipment, and products that will continue to raise our success in the field.  So, we may be a little slow on email and forum posts - bear with us - we'll get plugged back in as soon as we return.

Podcast Description

When you hear the word "decoy" in the context of hunting, usually the first animals that come to mind are ducks and turkeys. On this episode, Anthony and Aneal talk about using decoys for hunting North American big game species. The boys share a few stories, tips, and a couple of good laughs on this episode.

..and when talking big game decoys, there is no doubt that Anthony and Aneal are big fans of the products from Montana Decoy. The guys from Montana Decoy have expanded their line and the options available to all of us bow hunters. Anthony and Aneal discuss some of the new products including some doe decoys for antelope and mule deer. As an added bonus, Anthony relates his experience with Montana Decoy's new "Moo Cow" decoy and how he almost became a bull's girlfriend.

Podcast Description

On this episode Aneal and Anthony are joined by South Cox, contributing field editor for Eastman's Bowhunting Journal. South is just about as "bad ass" as they come when one talks about backcountry bowhunting. South shares his expertise on hunting out of a bivouac sack as well as a review of the equipment he recommends for anyone to get started in this exciting and rewarding type of backcountry bowhunting.

Image #1 - "Later in the season, when the snow threatens to fly, a one man tent is the prudent route to take"

Image #2 - "Thirteen miles from the trailhead, virgin country for a week. Either put up with other hunter pressure and work hard to find educated animals, or work hard to get away from other hunters and then hunt undisturbed bulls and bucks."
