This week Alan Altizer begins the start of the “Secrets of the Wind” series. This five-part series begins by breaking down the physical components of the wind and how animals utilize them on a day-to-day basis. Alan stresses the importance of understanding the animal’s perspective, not the hunter’s, when hunting mature animals. Once the hunter understands the animal’s needs, they can then greatly increase their opportunities at trophy class animals. This series will continue over several episodes as Alan interviews some of the most successful traditional bowhunters he knows as they discuss each of their approaches on hunting the wind. Trad bow range does not allow for mistakes, so these guys have to have a solid understanding and approach. This series will provide listeners a wealth of knowledge and improve your woodsmanship.      Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
