205. Turning Leftist... With a Bow and Whitetail Hunting

To my surprise, there has been a ton of interest in my journey of switching to a left-handed bow. Instead of answering messages, I put this episode together. 

After almost 20 years shooting my bow right-handed, I made the call to switch. I'm very much left-eyed dominant, right-handed, and have always lacked confidence in my ability with a bow. Unlike rifle shooting which I still do right-handed, something was off when it came to archery. I discuss the process, the switch, and the results.

Then, I dive into some fundemental mountain whitetail hunting on public lands. November is here, and this is a fantastic time to be in the woods to chase whitetail. Learn what I've done that has notched tags, some consistencies I've found, and some key strategies that pay dividends in the field. Enjoy!
