This episode, I talk to Dreya Grangroth. She's a hunting guide for Bear Creek Outfitters in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, co-owner of Ridge Patrol clothing, and future author. Listen in to hear her story about growing up in a strict religious family, and how hunting and the outdoors has not only shaped most of her life, but also provided her with peace and healing. We also discuss her move from the Pacific Northwest to Colorado to work for a raft guide, her close run-ins with mountain lions and bears, and what it's like to work in a male dominated field.

Antlerless Podcast- Episode 3, The Ranch Fairy

We mix it up a little for episode three and talk to Troy Fowler, a.k.a. the Ranch Fairy. Troy runs a YouTube channel dedicated to the in vivo research of building the deadliest arrows possible. We discuss how people who are on the lower draw weight/draw length end of the archery spectrum can get their arrows dialed in to provide the greatest penetration possible on the animals they hunt.

Troy is continuing the bowhunting research begun by Dr. Ed Ashby in the 80's. You can read about his research here: https://www.ashbybowhunting.org/

The arrow test kit that they talk about can be found here: https://www.siriusarchery.com/ranch-fairy/
