EP71. Meat Fest, Bow Drafts & Big Game Plans – Catching Up with Jeff Vance

In this episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast, I sit down with my good friend and returning guest Jeff Vance, host of the Bucks of America Podcast. We catch up on everything he’s been up to since his last appearance—starting with a full recap of his annual Meat Fest, where wild game, laughs, and unforgettable stories are always on the menu.

We dive into the ongoing price-fixing lawsuit shaking up the meat industry and talk about what it means for everyday hunters and processors. Then we shift gears and talk about Jeff’s upcoming hunting season plans, the tags he’s drawn, and what hunts he’s looking forward to this fall.

We also kick around some early ideas for the 2026 Bow Draft, reflect on how past drafts went, and toss around thoughts on how to make the next one even bigger.

Plus, we wrap it all up with some rapid-fire questions, a few laughs, and the kind of real talk you’ve come to expect from the Dreaded Archer.

If you love hunting, gear talk, and hearing from passionate outdoorsmen who keep it real—this one’s for you.
