Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind. We keep it real, raw, and have some good ole fun.

Episode 71:
Many don't know this, but there are free ranging Elk in West Texas. They were introduced into the McKittrick Canyon in 1928. Today, five herds of Rocky Mountain Elk exist in the Guadalupe, Glass, Wylie, Davis and Eagle Mountains of West Texas.

The State of Texas considers Elk to be an exotic animal. What does this mean? It means you can hunt Elk year-round with limited restrictions. A non-resident 5-day special hunting license for $48, or annual version for $132, is all you need! It is known as license number 157.

Finding public land can be a challenge, however. There isn't much remaining in Texas.

September shooting challenge: Shoot at least 1 arrow for 10 days in the month of September - tag us on Instagram and/or Facebook using #ShootItOrWalk and someone will win a nice prize package.

Episode 61:
Hunting mature Whitetail Bucks is challenging especially when they know they are being hunted. It's even more challenging when you are hunting on smaller tracts of land.

Knowing where bedding, feeding areas, and water sources are will allow you to create tactics for a more successful hunting season. Know your wind directions, use scent control methods, and make sure your access to your stand is as undetected as possible.

Hunting small tracts can be extremely challenging, but embrace the challenge and reap the awards of the work you put in.

Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 52:

Our good friend of the show, and all around great person, Tony Dempsey joins us to talk about deer tracking dogs. More specifically, the Bavarian Mountain Scenthound.

Tony's dog Finn had a very successful first tracking season and helped to put a smile on a lot of faces. This was a fun and entertaining episode, but also very educational on the topic of deer tracking.

Tony also had a successful turkey season and we get into the details of a few of those hunts.

Ep 51 / Drop Away Rests vs Whisker Biscuits - Pros and Cons
3340

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. If you like bowhunting and backwoods humor, then you might have come to the right place. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 51:
Tim and Mike talk about the differences between the various drop away rests on the market and the tried and true Whisker Biscuit. The arrow rest argument is similar to the broadhead argument. There are passionate opinions on both sides. 

Affordability, arrow containment, quietness, and simplicity are factors in your decision. Ultimately, use what you're comfortable with and works best for you.

Ep 49 / John Stallone with Days in the Wild / Hunting Conservation
5439

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 49:
John Stallone with Days in the Wild joins the show to discuss hunting conservation and the many challenges that we face as hunters. It doesn't matter if you are a bowhunter, rifle hunter, hunt Midwest whitetails, or chase Elk in Western States, we as hunters/conservationists need to be unified and, in the battle, together.

One way we can all make a difference and let our voice be heard is to visit Howl for Wildlife.

Ep 48 / Must Have Turkey Hunting Gear
3013

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 48:
It is officially turkey season here in the Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky region. As well as many other states. We are seeing several birds hit the ground. Always love a successful hunt.

Tim and Mike discuss the hunting gear necessary for turkey hunting and also get into some of the gear that we consider to be optional, but yet still valuable.

Our heart goes out to Travis "T-Bone" Turner with the Bone Collector. T-Bone was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as Fibrosarcoma. The tumor on his leg was too large and intertwined, which ultimately led to his leg being amputated.

We are praying for you T-Bone and can't way to see you getting back after it soon!

The State of Missouri has announced that they have a wild pig problem in the Southeast Missouri region. 35 counties mostly in the southern part of the State. However, MDC and the Forest Service have outlawed hunting as an option to get the population under control.

Ep 46 / The "Fair Chase" Trail Camera Debate Continues
4065

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 46:
The "Fair Chase" Trail Camera debate continues. With all of the technology we have in the hunting industry, why is the line in the sand being drawn with trail cameras?

We, as hunters, face much bigger challenges and problems in our industry than the use of trail cameras being considered "not fair chase."

If the technology being used aids in a good ethical clean hunt and recovery of the animal, then I fail to see the problem. 

Tim's daughter buried their new side by side (pictured in the show art) on their new trail.

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 44:
We are doing some Spring Cleaning - time to start now! No, we are not cleaning windows and wiping down kitchen cabinets.

We are talking about timber management, trail maintenance, hinge cutting, creating bedding areas, setting mock scrapes, trail camera maintenance, stand maintenance, and very importantly - bow maintenance.

This type of Spring Cleaning ain't for the yuppies.

Ep 43 / Ideal Draw Weight for Your Bow
3657

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 43:
Tim and Mike visited the Shawnee Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation banquet. There was a could have/should have moment on bidding for the South Africa Safari Hunt as it went very cheap.

The fellas get into a discussion about draw weight on a compound bow. Somewhere along the way, we have gotten into the "more is better" philosophy. There is a big difference between what you can shoot vs. what you can shoot effectively and efficiently. 

Ultimately, it comes down to the proper setup and tuning and most importantly, the time practicing on the range.

Buck Files / Tim Jarvis' 154" Whitetail
3510

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 42: THE BUCK FILES

Tim shares his story of the 154 1/8 inch net whitetail buck he killed in his early 20's. The buck was shot with a bow (a PSE at the time) on a 43 acre farm in Southern Illinois. The farm is surrounded by more than 23,000 acres of Shawnee Forest property.

The buck is a 14 point (6x8) with a kicker on the left side and a split brow tine on the right side.

This is our 1st Buck file episode and we found it fitting for the first couple episodes to be bucks harvested by the hosts. We have numerous episodes upcoming with guests sharing their buck file stories.

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 41:
Tim and Mike take a look at the upcoming release of the new Spypoint Flex Trail Camera. The Spypoint Flex will feature both 1080p video and 33 megapixel images. Flex offers better network coverage and extended detection range.

Tim and Mike thought it would be fun to go through each animal of the North American Big Game Super Slam (29 in total) and discuss whether or not they would hunt those animals. Needless to say, neither will be adding to the only 173 hunters who have ever accomplished the feat.

Ep 40 / Banning Trail Cameras - A Dangerous Precedent
3249

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Arizona and Nevada have fully banned the use of trail cameras. 5 other states have a partial ban. Is the banning of trail cameras becoming the new normal?

We briefly discuss when and why we stop deer before taking the shot.

Outdoor Life conducted a study on accuracy between compound bows and crossbows.

We are getting close to shed season and some of you may be already. The bucks on Tim's hunting property are still hard antlered.

Seems hard to believe, but we are already just a couple of months away from a new crop of fawns hitting the ground.

3074

Welcome back to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style with this show is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

What Tim thought was only one 140's class Buck on his property turns out to be what is apparently twin 140's.  Literally twins! They look identical.

The National Deer Association released their statistics for the 2021 hunting season. Hunters harvested more bucks in 2021 than over the last 21 years. 41% of those were mature Whitetail Bucks that were 3.5 years of age or older.

It is 36 weeks until opening day. Yes, we are already counting down.

Tim checked out the new Trophy Ridge Digital React bow sight at ATA.

Tim is interested in being an official Pope & Young measurer.

Ep 35 / ATA Review / Boone and Crockett Club Changing the Rules of Ethical Hunting
3836

Tim came back from the ATA show just in time to get sick. He gives a brief review of this year's show.  It was a much smaller show than in the past, but still a good time!

We published 1,570 minutes, or 94,249 seconds, of content in 2021. Thank you to all who contributed to listening!

Utah bans the use of trail cameras during the hunting season. Quoting: "It's not a fair hunt any longer."

The Boone and Crockett Club has issued some controversial rule changes on what they now consider ethical hunting.  B&C stated. "The use of smart scopes, GPS enabled tech and trail cams that transmit images in real time isn't fair chase. Trophy animals taken with any of these technologies are no longer eligible for the record book."

Team Backwoods joins up for a Saturday night all BS edition. We really don't know what happened to the audio quality on our guest microphone so we apologize for that up front and will work on troubleshooting it.

Mike's son, Jimmy, kills his first buck and it is a cool deer. Would have been an 11 point, but his right side has all broken off except the G2. The left side is intact with a little kicker.

That's 8 whitetails that have been given a dirt nap in 2021 from team Backwoods Bowhunter.

Mike Tags a Solid Buck Between 150 and 160 Inches
3348

Mike is back from his hunting trip up north. He had a successful hunt killing a very solid Buck. We are guessing it will score in the 150" - 160" range. This deer was never captured on the properties trail cameras. 

Mike's 12 year old son tags his second deer of the season.

Tim had some fun hunts, but still nothing to show for it other than the stories that unfolded.

Tim closes out on his thoughts about Mediacom internet and Mike closes out on his disgust with crossbows.

What Defines a Shooter Buck / Deer Management and Keeping Quality Bucks / Spypoint Cameras
3523

We have a lengthy discussion on quality deer management and the factors that go with it. Small parcels vs large parcels, kids hunts, unique character, bad genetics, and most importantly if it makes you the hunter happy. 

Our experiences with Spypoint cameras thus far. 

Tim was interviewed for the Central Illinois Outdoors radio show. Check that out on the upcoming episode airing October 30th. 

A listener wants to know if it is ok to shoot a doe who is with her fawns. The short answer is "yes." But, we get a little more in detail with this topic.

The Drury Buck. A 216 Inch Giant. What we think about the Weekend Warrior Shotgun Hunters.
3050

We opened the show talking about and watching the Drury Buck hunt as we recorded. Mark Drury with Drury Outdoors dropped this 216 5/8 Whitetail in Iowa just days before we recorded. Drury nicknamed the buck Disappearing Act. It's a cool story and you can find the video on YouTube.

Tim & Mike's hunting seasons are off to a slow start. Mike took a shot at and missed a Doe. Tim watched a young 6 point semi chasing around some does out in the field. 

Tim received his new Garmin Xero A1i Pro bow sight. A giant thank you to Garmin for sending that! 

Lastly, we give our thoughts on the weekend warrior shotgun hunters. Us bowhunters put in a lot of early season work. Sometimes it pays off. Sometimes it doesn't. Then the shotgun hunters swoop right in on a full rut weekend.

New Show Name. Same Two Backwoods Hosts.
2521

As always before, we are coming at you from the podcast studio in heart of big buck country right here in southern Illinois. 

We started our Blueline Badass of the week nominations. This is our opportunity to give a shout out to our front line law enforcement officer's out there doing the job every day. We respect and honor you!

We answer a couple of questions out of the email inbox. One of which was about scent control with our hunting clothing and how we go about maintaining that.  

Mike and his youngest son had an opportunity to hunt a potential 150 inch 10-pointer. The shot didn't present itself, but a lot of fun nonetheless.

It's opening day in Illinois. Nuff said!
2559

When this episode goes live, it will be opening day in Illinois. As I said last year, it should be a holiday and kids should be excused from school. 

Mike reports on the return of Hunting and Fishing Days of Southern Illinois. 

Tim drops some hints on his new Garmin bow sight coming soon. 

Lastly, we are transitioning from Season 1 to Season 2. With that is coming a name change. The Illinois Bowhunter Podcast will become the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. We are super excited for the changes and additions that are coming along with it.

With that being said, we are very grateful to all of you who have listened along the way and have allowed us to grow to this point. Our promise to you is that you will not be disappointed. 

There will be no changes on your end. We will show up in your feed under the new name!

1st day of fall means that much closer to bow season. Derek Settle of Kentucky is a douche!
2604

It is the first day of fall as we record this episode. That means hunting season is inching closer. 

Tim, a Hoyt shooter, really would like to get his hands on the new Hoyt Ventum. 

We read the Field and Stream article about the alleged crossbow stalk, possible record deer, harvested in Kentucky. Derek Settle of Henderson County, Kentucky reported to Field and Stream that he had stalked a whitetail buck to 12 yards before making the kill with his crossbow. Not any whitetail buck, but a 57 point 280 inch buck. Derek checked the deer in with the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife telecheck system.

In fact, Derek killed the deer on a high fenced hunt at Patoka River Whitetails Preserve in Indiana. He even posed with a picture of the same deer at their preserve. 

Derek, you are a douche! And the fact that you fabricated this whole story and dedicated it to your deceased father makes you even a bigger douche!

New hunting gear for 2021. The chili eating debate.
2989

In this episode, Tim and Mike discuss the new products they acquired for the 2021/2022 archery hunting season. Mike purchased some new Nomad apparel and a 3D ground blind. Tim purchased a new Redneck Blind.

Be on the lookout for Mike's new urine product line. It is called Edgin in heat. Hitting store shelves soon.

The chili debate! Do you only eat chili in the colder weather or is it a year round food? Tim says it is an all year round food. We checked in with what the Supreme Court has to say on the topic and as it turns out, Tim is right.

We discuss our food plots and how they are doing. Throw and Grow and Whitetail Institute are the brands we prefer.

6 weeks until opening day! We talk about CWD and what signs to look for as you begin your fall hunting season.
2235

CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) and the fatal effect on deer, elk and moose. CWD has been detected in 25 states including Illinois. CWD was first observed in the wild in 1981. 

CWD in its simplest terms means - a contagious disease that causes brain damage in the animal. 

Tim shares his personal story of a CWD infected deer on his property.

Be aware of the signs and symptoms of CWD and know what to look for as we approach this 2021 deer hunting season.

Not too much going on with a bowhunting podcast in the middle of April. Mike brought his Zebco 33 over to Tim's pond and schooled his son on catching fish who was using his high dollar baitcaster.

For the record, Tim still believes in the baitcaster no matter the results on this given day. 

Tim had a wacko day and had to vent it out on the podcast. Again, it's not bow season. What else we gonna do?

It's crappie fishing season. A lot of rain has created high muddy waters, which has slowed down the bite.

We have a little fun with Mike's son about the video that surfaced of his first time field dressing a deer.

Mike fishes with a Zebco 33. Not kidding!

No Hunting, No Fishing, so We're BS'ing
2434

We are caught in between the deer hunting season and the turkey hunting season. And since we just came out of a cold snap where some of our waters were froze over, we haven't begun to start catching crappie just yet. Therefore, we are doing a lot of general BS in this episode.

We share a couple of humorous hunting stories, our preferred way to cook and eat a turkey and then there is always the cajun bacon.

Hunting Season in Review and Centerpoint Crossbow Review
2650

The 2020 hunting season has came to a close. We discuss the hunting season in review. It was a weird warm hunting season, but what wasn't weird about 2020? I talk about my hunt with my daughter. It was one of my favorite all time hunts without putting a deer on the ground. The thrill of the hunt also requires a good ethical bow kill. It just simply wasn't there. We also review the Centerpoint Archery Heat 415 crossbow. We have several likes and dislikes, but overall would definitely trust it in a hunting situation. As a bonus, my daughter Alayna joins the show to talk about her hunting encounter. Enjoy! illinoisbowhunter.com

Is Feral Hog Hunting Coming to Illinois?
1564

BACON...Is feral hog hunting coming to Illinois? The Illinois Department of Natural Resources will probably tell you no. There are feral hogs in Illinois. IDNR identified a hog population in the Lusk Creek Wilderness Area of the Shawnee National Forest this past spring and went in to eradicate them. Feral Swine does 1.5 billion dollars worth of damage annually across the country and it requires a 70% decrease in their population annually to control them. Did I mention BACON?...

Whitetail deer senses and the reason they are most active in the morning and evening
1616

Our first episode was recorded on a bittersweet day. It was a day that the IBH team was suppose to arrive at ATA 2021 (Archery Trade Association). Hosts Tim Jarvis and Mike Edgin give an update on their hunting season. Our weather this season was warmer than normal. We get into deer senses, how their vision differs from ours, their movement patterns and the misconceptions surrounding their movement in the morning and evening. We even use a couple of big words. Don't let it fool you, we are still full of s***.
