Droppin' 'em in the Heartland
A couple of backwoods good ole boys, a podcast studio at the Whiskey and Whitetails Farm, and a passion for archery and the thrill of the hunt.
Pull up a chair by the fire
Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast is recorded in the heart of big buck country in Southern Illinois. We bring our style of backwoods humor, have some fun, drink a little whiskey and/or beer, and talk bowhunting along with whatever else we feel like talking about. We get off track every so often.
The goal is simple. You should feel like you're sitting around a campfire with a group of hunting buddies swapping stories, lies and bad ideas, while we share our love of archery and the hunt.
Based in Marion, Illinois. Backwoods Bowhunter is part of River to River Outdoors.
The crew

Tim Jarvis
Capuchin monkey trainer
Tim knows nothing about hunting, but he is a certified Capuchin monkey trainer, and we know of nobody else in Illinois with that skill level. He is jealous of the taxidermy on everyone else's walls, so he now proudly displays one electrocuted gray squirrel in his living room.

Mike Edgin
Reformed protester
Mike moved down from northern Illinois and used to lead his hometown PETA chapter. After a severe allergic reaction to soy burgers, he saw the light, headed south to learn bowhunting and fishing, and still has a bumpy road ahead. We will make a hunter out of him. His eldest son is another story.

Justin Miller
Honorary member, Thailand
Justin took a vow of silence and moved to Thailand to live as a Buddhist monk. We respect his new path and are holding his spot on the team for as long as he needs it.
