Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Adam Bonewits of Blue River Bowhunting to talk about the realities of chasing whitetails beyond your home state and why getting the next generation involved in the outdoors matters more than ever.

Adam shares stories and lessons from his out-of-state hunts, including the preparation, scouting, and mindset it takes to be successful when you’re hunting unfamiliar ground. We dive into the challenges bowhunters face when traveling to new states, how to adapt quickly, and why those experiences can make you a better hunter overall.

We also spend time discussing something both of us are passionate about—introducing youth to hunting. Adam talks about ways to mentor young hunters, the importance of creating positive first experiences in the woods, and why passing down hunting traditions is critical for the future of conservation and the sport.

Whether you're planning your first out-of-state hunt, looking for new bowhunting insight, or want ideas for getting kids involved in the outdoors, this conversation is packed with relatable stories and practical perspective from someone who lives and breathes bowhunting.

Topics Covered:

• Planning and preparing for out-of-state hunts

• Adapting to unfamiliar hunting ground

• Lessons learned from traveling to hunt

• Mentoring and introducing youth to hunting

• Why the future of hunting depends on the next generation
