I agree skinning and preparing the meat yourself is the best way to go. Its a big task to learn but once you do you have a great understanding of the process.
Rodney Here — Longtime Hunter & Outdoorsman Joining the Movement
“Hey everyone, I’m Rodney from the South Georgia / North Florida woods. I’ve hunted my whole life and always respected the skill, patience, and ethics that traditional bowhunting demands. I joined this community because I believe in the legacy you’re keeping alive — real woodsmanship, real tracking, and real respect for wildlife. Back home I run Blackwater Outdoor Crew, but I’m here mainly to connect, learn, and stand with folks carrying on the traditional way. Glad to be here.”
👋 Hey Guys!...Let's Take The Time To Introduce Ourselves...
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.

Hey Grant and Jenn! Thank you both for the warm welcome and for creating this incredible space. It's an honor to be here. I have immense respect for the heritage you're preserving. Grant, your point about the industry shifting to "tech and gadgets" over "skillsets and woodsmanship" really hit home for us. That loss of connection to the process is exactly why we started our own journey down this path. A bit about us: I'm Rodney Thompson, and my wife Tina and I are from South Georgia. Like you, we grew up in the woods, but our specific passion is the blackwater rivers and cypress swamps of the Deep South. We founded the Blackwater Outdoor Crew to teach what we call the "Stay Rugged" philosophy—which aligns perfectly with your "Ethical Predator" mission. We focus on canoe camping, traditional navigation, and ethical whitetail hunting in the public land swamps. For us, the "hunt" isn't just the shot; it's the paddling in, the scouting, the camp life, and the respect for the animal after the harvest. We're looking forward to learning from your experience (especially on the traditional archery side, which is an art form we deeply admire) and connecting with everyone here. Thanks again for leading the way! Stay Rugged, Rodney & Tina
