Shot Selection Is a Skill | The Game Trail Ep. 63
Aug 14, 2026 · 41 min
In this episode of the Game Trail, Trail breaks down one of the most important parts of bowhunting: knowing when not to shoot.

Ep 16 · Jun 29, 2026 · 1 hr 49 min
This is Part 2 of the "Drew a Tag, Now What?" series, and it's a full listener Q&A on one of my favorite ways to prepare for a hunt: e-scouting.

In my opinion, e-scouting is one of the most important tools we have as hunters because you can do it 24/7, 365. But it can also be overwhelming… so I try to b…

You drew the tag. The rush hits, you call your buddies, and then reality sets in. Now what? In this solo episode, I'm walking you through the exact prep sequence I try to use the second a tag lands in my hand. While some of these might seem very basic, the work happens between the draw results day and the season opener.
