Traditional Bowhunting has lost another pioneer.  We had the privilege of having Ron LaClair on the podcast back in April of 2021.  We felt it would only be fitting to re-release our visit with Ron, in his memory.  Hunt well Mr. LaClair.....

Named one of the most 25 influential bowhunters in the last 25 years by Archery Business Magazine in 2001, Dan Quillian was a true pioneer in the sport of bowhunting and one whom we owe a debt of gratitude.  Dan was a founding member of the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia, owner of Archery Traditions, a custom bowyer, produced the first commercial tree stand on the market, fought for bowhunting seasons in Georgia, hunted all over North America, and was a great ambassador for bowhunting, as well as a true conservationist well ahead of his time.  We had the opportunity to chat with Dan's son Dee Dee Quillian and one time employee and friend of Dan, Buck Ernst.  The stories told of Dan's adventures and passion for bowhunting are fascinating, and we really enjoyed hearing them.  We're positive you will to! 

THis week we catch u p with Maribeth Kulynycz of Maryland.  Maribeth is the real deal and is definitely "our kind of people"!  Growing up in a hunting family she made the transition to bowhunting in her early 20's, but after discovering the traditional bow she hasn't looked back since.  Intelligent, well spoken, dedicated to traditional bowhunting, and most importantly in it for the right reasons.  This was a great and fun conversation and topics discussed range from getting new people involved in bowhunting, the perspective of a lady bowhunter, being a positive influence for hunting, getting kids started down the right path, and you guessed it....good old fashioned bowhunting stories!

This week we sit down with Brian Koelzer.  Brian grew up in Montana in the hay-day of modern bowhunting history and it was common for guys like Paul Shcafer, Paul Brunner, and Rosie Roseland to drop by to visit and swap bowhunting stories.  Coming up like that, it's no wonder he has such an appreciation for bowhunting history.  We go down a few rabbit holes on some of that history, as well as some hunting stories.  This was a super fun conversation, and we hope you have as much fun listening! 

This week we catch up with our buddy Jack Spinks, our brother from the land down under! In typical Jack Spinks fashion, we have a hilarious conversation about basement snakes, feral cats, red stags, staying committed on a tough hunt, and defining your outlook to what you want out of bowhunting.  It's a fun conversation with a great guy.  Who knew Australia had good ol'boys!
