Hello all! We are launching a Youth section today brought to you by our daughter Indie! Indie has been shooting a recurve since she was around 2 1/2 years old. She has been following me around since that age in the woods and began to hunt 3 years ago here in Ontario Canada. Some of our hunts are in my books and she is a dedicated tradbow shooter. Her fav species to chase are wild turkeys, grouse, pheasant and whitetails. She shoots a 44# (at her draw length) semi custom Bodnik Kiowa recurve with 1916 alum arrows tipped with 150 grain Magnus stingers. She is great at processing and skinning out deer for me when we butcher our game and likes to “rove” and stump shoot at her grandparents farm to stay sharp for hunting season. She will be posting shot challenges as well as Trad tips for youth up to 18 years. Let’s go! Cheers! -Grant

My name is Jenn Richardson, my husband, Grant Richardson and I created this group, TradBowhunter - Ethical Predator. We are from Ontario, Canada, I have had a love for the outdoors since I was little. My grandfather being a conservation officer in the United States and my other grandfather a trapper here in Ontario. I have been in Law Enforcement for over 26yrs, love the outdoors, marketing and business so decided to put all three together! This is a passion piece for Grant and I...My hubby being the subject matter expert with Traditional Bowhunting as well as an author, podcast host and 3rd generation traditional bowhunter. We wanted to bring like minded people together and create a place to share their experiences with traditional bowhunting. ----------------- Hey folks! Grant Richardson here - about myself... I was raised in a hunting family. I have Bowhunted with traditional gear all my life and started shooting bows when I was 3. I've been able to hunt all over North America and along the way this past 40 plus years hunting with trad gear I have learned that success is born not from tech or the latest camo but from long cold days in the woods and often- failure. Bows and arrows were always a part of my life and I was lucky to have an upbringing that emphasized time in the woods. I was able to see both the rise of Bowhunting in Ontario and the laws and regulations based on ethics & conservation formed- But - also to see them fall apart to an Industry that focused on the latest and newest tech or gadgets to bring wild game home and not the skillsets I was raised to respect and follow. The very fabric of those primitive weapon/Bowhunting seasons was based on the fact that it was harder to take game with a bow and arrow- simply that it was difficult- but there is the truth that many forgot or perhaps never learned. The Ethical Predator was created from those lessons learned all my life. I helped create this community seeing a need to bring folks from all over the world into a community that supported the old ways, from scouting, tracking & the heritage of Bowhunting I grew up with.

This is a great demo..our current weekly shot by our very own @Joe Daniels !! This made my day! Keep it up Joe!! I want a line in that chair!! Any takers?!!
