14 - Hunting Mule Deer with a Bow; Common Mistakes, Mentality, and Expectations

Mike joins with guest Dawson Atamanchuk for a unorthodox spring topic; mule deer and bow hunting.  The snow is melting and it's time to get outside!  Getting that bow tuned up for longer distances, re-tuning that bow hunter's mentality and this season's expectations are a few things we discuss in this episode on The Hunter Apprentice.  Too often we put a ton of pressure on ourselves to succeed with the bow.  We pay too much attention to social media and big bucks instead of viewing success in different ways that actually make us better hunters.
