In Episode 382 of The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, host Adam Miller sits down with Josh Teulker, creator of the Before the Echo YouTube channel, for an in-depth conversation on traditional bowhunting, modern hunting culture, and the ethical challenges facing today’s hunters. Josh shares his background growing up in a hunting family and how those early experiences shaped his approach to whitetail deer hunting and eventually led him to transition from compound bows to traditional archery. The discussion covers the differences between traditional and modern hunting styles, realistic expectations for success, and why patience, discipline, and woodsmanship still matter. The conversation dives into e-scouting, hunting pressure, and what it’s like to hunt multiple states while navigating changing hunting regulations, access issues, and public land challenges. Josh and Adam also discuss the growing influence of social media on hunting, how technology is reshaping the sport, and whether innovation is helping or hurting the future of ethical bowhunting. Additional topics include Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), Michigan’s hunting culture, and the importance of protecting hunting traditions while adapting to a rapidly changing landscape. This episode is packed with insight for bowhunters, traditional archers, whitetail hunters, and conservation-minded outdoorsmen who care about the long-term integrity of the sport. 00:00 Podcast Notes 02:19 Introduction02:45 Before the Echo Origin Story05:29 Traditional vs Compound Bow Hunting08:00 Growing Up in a Hunting Family10:41 Transition to Traditional Archery13:10 Bowhunting Strategies & Techniques16:06 E-Scouting & Out-of-State Hunting18:42 Locating & Tracking Whitetail Deer21:21 Expectations & Standards in Hunting23:56 Social Media & Hunting Pressure26:27 Hunting Ethics & Regulations37:37 Changes in Hunting Regulations39:01 Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)40:27 Michigan Hunting Culture42:26 Technology’s Role in Hunting48:43 Future of Hunting & Access01:01:28 Family Traditions & Hunting Legacy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoEUun2B14oDuAdhWJoSEtA Painted Arrow Outdoors – BHC15 (15% off)https://www.paintedarrow.com Spartan Forge – BOWHUNTER (25% off)https://www.spartanforge.ai Latitude Outdoors -BHC (15% off)https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com Genesis 3D Printinghttps://genesis3dprinting.com BigShot Targets - BHC (10 % off)https://www.bigshottargets.com Vitalize Seedhttps://vitalizeseed.com Zinger Fletcheshttps://www.zingerfletches.com Additional partners:https://huntworthgear.comhttps://waypointtv.com/#podcast Patreon: http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast – Episode 382Hunting in the Echo Chamber | Josh Teulker (Before the Echo)⏱ Episode Chapters▶️ Check Out Before the Echo🏹 Partners & Discounts❤️ Support the Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
