In this episode of A Hunter’s Legacy, we hear the story of a bowhunter, Seth Spire, who waited six years for an Iowa tag—and made it count. From a perfectly timed cell cam photo to a last-minute change of plans, everything lined up for a 170-class buck.

The conversation dives into how hunting has changed over the past 20 years, the growing challenge of finding access, and the fine line between luck and skill. There’s a real look at how evolving technology, pressure from social media, and the pay-to-play land market have shaped the modern hunting experience.

We also hear about missed shots, hard lessons, and the adrenaline that makes bowhunting so addictive. The guest reflects on learning the ropes without a mentor, how goals shift with age, and why the process—from food plots to strategy—is just as important as the kill.

To top it off, there’s a story involving a hornet’s nest, a flying saw, and one of the most painful walk-ins of all time. It’s the kind of episode that reminds you why we keep going back to the woods—year after year.
