A new episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast is now available, featuring Joey Buchanan and his son Joe. The pair discuss traditional bowhunting, including making their own bows and arrows, and hunting at distances most hunters avoid.
Joey Buchanan explains how he began crafting bows in the late 1980s, while Joe shares what it was like growing up immersed in the tradition. Joe recently harvested a deer with a bow he built himself from wood taken off their hunting land.
The conversation covers close-range deer and turkey hunting, the discipline and ethics involved with traditional equipment, and the sense of community within the traditional bowhunting circle. The episode highlights craftsmanship, woodsman skills, and a father-and-son tradition rooted in Mississippi’s woods.
