I stumbled onto his YouTube channel while researching last week's guest Erik Hoff of St. Patrick Lake Longbows. Joshua shoots a lot of Erik's models and he's pretty damned good at it too! We get deeper into the different models he shoots, why he likes what he likes and also touch on hunting and competition.  Super nice guy and he puts out great content on his channel " Styk Man Archery" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCChXzKi_i41d3ygqdN1q0_A Also be sure to check out St. Patrick Lake Longbows at: https://stpatricklakelongbows.com/ Please be sure to like, share and subscribe.

Bowhunting Soul EP76: Joshua Miller

This week I'm joined by Minnesota native Erik Hoff of St. Patrick Lake Longbows. Erik is a relative newcomer to building bows but he's developed a very loyal following and garnered high praise in a very short time. We talk about his journey into traditional archery and what sparked the desire to build and sell his own bows. He has a very technical mind so I really enjoyed geeking out with him. His bows have quickly become known for their smoothness and shootability, so be sure to check out www.stpatricklakelonbows.com Thanks for listening! Emrah

This week I'm joined by Zach Owsley of the YouTube channel Aerial Assault. Zach dove hard into mobile hunting and saddle hunting in particular. On his channel he reviews saddles, sticks, stands, platforms and just about everything else related to mobile/saddle hunting. He's a life-long passionate hunter so we also get to talking about his recent success on a very sweet Oklahoma buck. Hope you enjoy the show! Emrah

This week I talk with bowyer Dave Darling of Kalamazoo Bow works. After a lifetime of hunting, Dave decided to turn his passion into a business, learned how to build bows and is now kicking out some beautiful longbows out of Michigan. Dave has a very old-skool mentality when it comes to  traditional bow hunting and we certainly get into discussing a wide variety of topics. He's super passionate about the sport and continuing the traditions of hunters who came before us. He speaks his mind with a no-nonsense approach, which is much needed today. Hope you enjoy the episode! Please remember to like, share and subscribe.  I'd greatly appreciate a 5-star rating on iTunes/Apple Podcasts. Emrah

Hi folks! On today's episode I'm joined by Austin Kantola who, with his wife, owns Genesis 3D Printing. Genesis 3D offers 3D-printed products that make life easier for the mobile hunter. Bow hangers, hitch-tending devices, attachment clips, climbing stick accessories and a host of other innovative products. Austin and his wife saw a gap in the market for such products and being the entrepreneurs they are, decided to create a company and fill that niche. We had a great time talking about his history, hunting, the origin of Genesis 3D, and we even talk about the actual process of 3D printing, which is totally foreign to me. Hope you enjoy the episode! Check out their products at: www.genesis3dprinting.com Thanks for listening! Emrah

Is it possible to go from never having ever shot a bow to running an archery shop in a year? Well, today's guest Alex Eisner did! Alex is the manager of the Oaktree Archery Club in Southern California. The archery bug bit Alex pretty hard. Not only is she consumed by archery, she is also looking forward to going on her first hunt this season. She's a really interesting person with a lot to offer the archery and hunting world. It was great talking to her. Thanks for listening! Emrah

This is a special episode. I talk with one of my favorite people, Jason Samkowiak of the Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast. Jason is an entrepreneur and a go-getter to the core. After enduring the tragic loss of his son, Jason funneled his emotions and energy into making the most out of life. He's been extremely successful starting several new businesses and is working his butt off to be able to hunt, travel and enjoy life as much as possible. We talk about having a success-oriented mindset, entrepreneurship, hard work, successes, failures and lessons learned. There is not much talk of bows and arrows in this episode. It's an open and honest discussion about what it takes to have financial success and live life to the fullest. Hope you enjoy this one. And please remember to like, share and subscribe!

Bowhunting Soul EP67: Entrepreneurship With Jason Samkowiak

This was a very cool conversation. Nancylia is relatively new to traditional bow hunting and hunting in general. Her story of what brought her here is very eye-opening. Sudden and relatively traumatic life changes have paved a path for Nancylia to re-focus her life and her surroundings. Archery, hunting and gardening have proven cathartic for her and now she's able to help others get through their own life challenges. She has a very positive message and an amazing story. I really enjoyed getting to know better. Thanks for listening! Please remember to like, share and subscribe! Emrah

Clay is an absolute killer. Living in Texas, Clay gets to put into practice his traditional archery skills on hogs pretty much year round. He's got a ton of experience doing it and uses anything from spot and stalk, to feeders to shooting them at night with a light. We get into his various hunting styles, tactics, and overall the overall hunting experience in Texas. Clay is very understated when it comes to social media, but he is ridiculously effective on critters! Hope you enjoy the show! Remember to please like, share and subscribe. Most importantly, PLEASE LEAVE A RATING! Thanks for listening! Emrah

So this episode is a little different. When I first asked Chris Sekol to be a guest, it was with the intent of getting to know him better and BS about archery and hunting, just like any other episode. But this one turned into a detailed recount of his battle with cancer a few years ago. We do talk about bows and hunting a little bit, but the biggest takeaway from this episode is the importance of living life to the fullest and not taking anything for granted. Chris is a living example of rolling with the punches and dealing with things that are out of your control while keeping a positive attitude over the things you can control. It was great getting to know him a little better. Thanks for listening. Emrah

Bowhunting Soul EP64: Taking Nothing For Granted with Chris Sekol

This one is for you aspiring home chefs! Butchering, processing and cooking wild game is a huge part of the enjoyment of hunting for me, so whenever I can talk to someone who has similar passions, I want to take advantage of it. Nick Otto is a hunter, amateur chef and the host of the Huntavore podcast. Nick is about as passionate about wild game cooking as anyone I've met. We geek out hardcore on this one regarding processing, cooking, preparation methods, kitchen tools and a bunch of other stuff. Honestly we need to do a Part 2 because it was so much fun talking to him. Even if you're not the greatest home cook (or have much of an interest in it), you may glean some useful information out of this one as Nick is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for listening and please remember to like, share and subscribe! Check out Nick's "Huntavore" podcast on all pod catchers and on the Sportsman's Nation Podcast Network. Emrah
