A couple of backwoods good ole boys, Tim and Mike, coming at you from the Whiskey and Whitetails podcast studio. Follow along as we describe the ups and downs of a Whitetail hunting season sharing those experiences with you the listener. Raw and honest! If you like bowhunting and backwoods humor, then you might have come to the right place. We do not take ourselves too seriously. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting, telling false stories and whatever else may come to mind. Most importantly, we want to share our passion for archery and the thrill of the hunt. You can find Backwoods Bowhunter at backwoodsbowhunter.com and on the socials @backwoodsbowhunterpodcast.
