Description
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.
