This is a short podcast ladies and gentlemen. This topic has been on my heart for awhile now and I figured it was time to put it out there. Sometimes we get so caught up in the likes and comments that we forget why we started being outdoorsmen and women in the first place.Sometimes we just need to slow down and remind ourselves about why we do what we do and who inspired us to do what we do. This podcast is about the first hunt I ever went on with my Dad and my Uncle. Tune In. Short one but a very good one!

Strategy

In this episode, The Troy Fowler discusses the critical elements of hunting, focusing on the roles of arrows and bows in the process of taking down deer. The discussion delves into the technical aspects of hunting equipment, particularly the importance of broadheads and inserts, and challenges common misconceptions about what truly contributes to a successful hunt. Troy also informs Nick of why there was no accumulation of blood between muscles, as the holes were not interrupted by other layers of tissue, allowing for more side meat harvest.

Arrows and bows both play crucial roles in hunting, each contributing uniquely to a hunter’s success. The choice of broadhead can significantly impact performance, making it important for hunters to understand the mechanics behind their equipment. Misconceptions about hunting gear often lead to poor decisions in the field, emphasizing the need for proper education and experience. Factors such as the weight of inserts and broadheads must be carefully considered to achieve optimal balance and accuracy. Beyond gear selection, effective hunting also relies on a solid understanding of animal anatomy to ensure ethical and efficient harvests. The debate between the importance of arrows versus bows continues among hunters, but one thing remains clear—quality equipment and a deep knowledge of its use can greatly enhance the hunting experience. Ultimately, hunters who prioritize understanding their gear and continually educate themselves on hunting techniques are the most likely to find consistent success.

In this powerful episode of We Do This Too Outdoors, host Courtney Williamson sits down with archer and outdoorsman William Alderman, whose passion for bowhunting and archery is matched only by his drive to represent a new face in the outdoor world. William shares how his journey began as a homeschooled kid in Florida, building makeshift bows from palm trees and shoelaces, before discovering his first real bow and diving deep into both the hunting and target archery scenes. From learning through trial and error to competing in ASA events, William opens up about the discipline, humility, and personal growth that come with the sport.

Their conversation goes far beyond bows and arrows — it’s about faith, family, and finding your purpose outdoors. William reflects on the mental side of archery, the lessons it teaches about patience and perseverance, and what it means to be a Black outdoorsman breaking barriers in the hunting and archery community. Together, he and Courtney talk about the shared mission of showing the next generation that “we do this too” — that the outdoors is for everyone, and that real success isn’t about trophies but about balance, faith, and leaving a positive mark on the world.

5 Steps to Better Quality Venison from the Field

Big Game
Cooking

Conservation

In this episode, Nick Otto discusses five essential steps to ensure the best quality venison after
a successful hunt. He emphasizes the importance of shot placement, quick recovery, thorough
field dressing, proper cleaning and chilling, and effective packing and freezing methods. Each
step is crucial for maintaining the quality of the meat and ensuring a successful outcome from
the hunt.
The hardest part of hunting is often getting on the animal, as it requires patience, skill, and
understanding of wildlife behavior. Once the opportunity arises, shot placement becomes crucial
for ensuring a quick, ethical dispatch and maintaining the quality of the meat. After the shot, a
fast recovery is vital to prevent loss of meat quality. Thorough field dressing helps remove heat
and bacteria, while promptly chilling the meat is essential for preserving its freshness. Proper
cleaning during processing prevents contamination and spoilage, and careful packing and
freezing help avoid freezer burn. Using a vacuum sealer can further maintain meat quality over
time. Throughout the entire process, working in a clean environment and keeping knives sharp
are key to efficient and effective butchering.
