Summary

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast, I sit down with Trent Wengerd—a dyed-in-the-wool bowhunter and a true craftsman when it comes to building stick bows that flat-out get the job done. We dig into Trent’s upbringing in the wide-open country of Montana, the early days that pulled him into archery, and how he turned a passion for hunting into an art form behind the bowyer’s bench. From chasing bugling bulls in the Idaho backcountry to dialing in every curve and limb of a hand-built bow, Trent shares stories and lessons that remind us why the old ways still matter. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build your own bows—or you just love hearing about wild places and the folks who thrive in them—this one’s worth your time. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 448 Hunting Transition: Explore Trent's shift from gun hunting to archery and the challenges of crafting bows. Memorable Adventures: Hear about Trent's thrilling elk hunts in Idaho and his insights into hunting mountain goats. Craftsmanship Insights: Discover the art and science behind bow making and the dedication it requires.
