In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Jack O’Neil, a passionate and relatively new bowhunter. Jack discovered bowhunting through podcasts and has built his knowledge and enthusiasm from shows like Becoming a Bowhunter, MeatEater, and other hunting-focused podcasts.

Jack’s had an incredible year with the bow, and after a recent hunt together, I knew he’d be a great guest for the show. Many newer hunters reach out to me for advice on everything from gaining hunting permissions to shot placement and gear. Jack’s journey, having learned much of this through podcasts and hands-on experience, is an inspiring example for those just starting out.

Tune in to hear Jack’s story and gain some valuable insights for newer hunters. Enjoy!
