Part 2 will be about spot and stalk and still-hunting wild pigs.

Schafer Magnant started archery at age 2 and has continued to pursue this unique passion ever since.

Schafer hosts The Green Mountain Tradcast and has a YouTube channel by the same name. I'm a big fan of both.

This was a fun and informative episode with Mark Harrison from Omnivore's Homestead and Quivers.

Lots of laughs in this one as the discussion ran the gamut of the merits of crawdad trapping, filming hunts, the trad bow lifestyle, tab versus glove(I may never recover from that part) and going on adventures! Mark's wife Allison also joined us for part of the episode and discussed her hunting set-up! Enjoy.
