Campfire Camaraderie

Just as the campfire back at any hunting camp is the setting for many lively discussions, shared experiences, and riveting storytelling; this blog is designed to allow me to share with you all of my latest hunts, articles, video or TV projects, and all the other exciting things happening with me, Trevon Stoltzfus and www.westernbiggamehunter.com.

Kansas Whitetail





Sorry this is a few weeks late (been pretty busy) but I wanted to share what a great time I had in Kansas bowhunting huge whitetails with Ted Jaycox of Tall Tine Outfitter (http://www.talltine.com/). I was fortunate enough to have shared a camp with Fred and Michele Eichler (http://www.fulldrawoutfitters.net/). Fred is the host for Easton's Reality Bowhunting TV show and Michele is the CEO for Muzzy Broadheads. Also in camp was Joe White VP at Robinson Outdoors, Braun Kopsack (Alaskan outfitter and good friend of Fred's, check this clip out where Braun saves Fred's bacon - http://youtube.com/watch?v=uMbnmLLnsfw), Jerry Dollard, and Bryn Westfall Archery clothes buyer for Cabela's.


Craig Stinehour, my good friend and fellow prostaffer for Wilderness Athlete, ran the camera for me and we had a GREAT time! Ted Jaycox has a rule that we do not shoot any whitetails under 130" P&Y or it is a $1,000 fine, which really helps promote BIG bucks. Unfortunately for me I passed on a couple small bucks and went home empty handed, but got some great footage and Braun killed a HUGE 181" buck. (included in the last in pic are left to right; Ted Jaycox, me, Braun Kopsack, Jerry Dollard, and Michele Eichler with Braun's bruiser buck) I also include two pics of smaller bucks that I passed on. But that is why we call it bowHUNTing and not bowKILLing!
Being in camp with Fred was a lot of laugh and it really sparked my interest into learning to hunt with a recurve as he is a phenomenal traditional archer, so stay tuned for more on that!

Can't wait to go back next year!!
