What mattered was the challenge, the hunt, and the adventure of it all.
This is for the recurve hunters, the longbow hunters, the storytellers, and the outdoorsmen keeping the old ways alive.
The hunters who made that same choice are in these pages.
Their stories are told the way traditional bowhunting stories deserve to be told. First-hand, from beginning to end.
Zero gear reviews. Zero product placements. Just the kind of stories that will make you want to pick up your bow and disappear into the woods.
Bears charging at ten yards. Sixteen hundred pound moose at thirty yards. Twenty one day solo backcountry hunts with nothing but a longbow and a tent.
Seven hunters who know this country share everything: the terrain, the animals, the tactics, and the moments that don't make it onto social media.
Whether these stories bring back memories or take you somewhere you have always wanted to go, every page pulls you deeper into the last frontier.

Monty Browning killed his first deer with a recurve in 1972.
Solo expeditions. DIY moose camps. 21-day backcountry hunts with nothing but a longbow and a backpack tent.
Most of that knowledge never gets written down. It dies in camp.
For Vol. 1 Alaska he shared everything he knows. Every lesson. Every mistake. Nothing held back.
The terrain. The animals. The gear. The solo camps. The grizzlies. The wind. The mistakes that cost him and the lessons that only come from doing it wrong enough times to finally do it right.
If you have ever thought about hunting Alaska with traditional gear, or just want to understand what it actually takes, this is the closest thing to sitting across from him at a fire and asking every question you have ever had.
We still believe in bowhunting the old way, with a bow and arrow. The grit, the tradition, and the adventure earned the hard way.
Every story printed in Trad Hunters is our way of saying that. If you believe it too then this is your publication.

Not at all. Many of our readers hunt with compound bows, rifles, or muzzleloaders. Trad Hunters covers traditional bowhunting at its core, but also reaches into muzzleloading, fly fishing, trapping, spear hunting, and self-reliance. If you love the pursuit and want honest stories without the gear reviews, this publication is for you.
