Listen in this Saturday to ‘meet’ Bill McCrary – a bowhunting legend in Wisconsin.   That Bill loves to bowhunt is an understatement.  At age 78, he has had 66 years of experience.  Bill is dedicated to his art and is a member of The Wisconsin Bowhunter’s Association and an officer of the Wisconsin Bowhunting Heritage Foundation Museum in Clintonville, Wisconsin.  And… he is an author:  ‘The History of Wisconsin Bowhunting – 1930 to 2016’  and ‘Roy I. Case:  Wisconsin Bowhunting Legend’.

Our second guest this week is Cory Noltner.  Cory is Director of Sales at Middleton Ford and by golly, he is an elk hunter.  Cory will be  joining us to talk about his trophy bull elk this fall and planning for a successful Western elk hunt.   Remember: Western states game applications are due within the next few months – it is not too early to plan.
