DENVER (October 17, 2025) –The latest episode of The Bowhunter Podcast, titled “Making the Best of a Bad Shot,” tackles a situation every ethical hunter hopes to avoid but must be prepared for: a poorly placed shot. Listeners will learn the critical decisions that must be made after the arrow is released to maximize the odds of a successful recovery.

This week’s episode features noted Colorado bowhunter and outdoor writer Jace Bauserman, who recounts his recent and challenging elk hunt. Bauserman shares the story of a multi-day, 30-mile effort to recover his bull, providing a real-world example of persistence and strategy. The discussion emphasizes that even the most skilled bowhunters will eventually face a less-than-ideal hit, making post-shot decision-making a vital skill.
