From the RedsGear.com studio, it’s the February installment of The Thinking Woodsman Podcast! Here’s what’s inside:

Now that bow season is over across the country, are you struggling with deepression? We’ll talk about coping strategies to get you through it.

Your bow can take a lot of abuse from a long season of chasing deer. Darrell Stiennen, Mathews factory shooter and owner of Select Archery joins us to discuss all the things that can go wrong with your rig and how to diagnose them.

On the lookout for a new hunting pack? I hunted with the Easton Stakeout XT 1700 this season and do a full review…right down to the zipper pulls.

Think antihunters are a peaceful and demure group of people? I’ve got audio of a confrontation between animal rights activists and hunters attending a safari expo that will change your mind.

Have you ever wished you could do something useful with your deer hides, but don’t want to endure the process required to tan them? I’ll show you a way to preserve a hide that’s easy, cheap and fun. Seriously.

I’ll review some of the articles I’ve written over the past month for The Thinking Woodsman, RedsGear and Wide Open Spaces.

• Only A Heartbeat Away
• The Gun Music Box Proves a Critical Truth About Guns
• Level Up Your Woodsmanship: Learn to Throw a Tomahawk
• The Two Problems with Wild Game and How to Fix Them

I get a chance to catch up with the President of DirtNap Gear, the makers of adjustable weight, cut-on-contact broadheads that are tough enough penetrate a Jeep Cherokee door…just in case you ever needed to do that.

Finally, in “Will it kill it?”,  I fling a broadhead tipped arrow at a Samsung flat screen TV from 20 yards. What do you think happened? Did I get full pass through, partial penetration, or did the arrow deflect? Listen in to find out!
