About Travis Stowe

I’m a happy father of two sons and I love to bow hunt.  Life has so many turns that it can sometimes be hard to stop for just a moment and breathe.  That is what hunting does for me.  I was introduced to hunting when I was 12 years old but at that time I was only familiar with hunting using a rifle. It was 2009 when Scott convinced me to put the rifle down and try a bow.  There is something about hunting with a bow that makes the hunt even more challenging which is what I think drew me in.  I’ve always loved hunting but now I feel I have a new passion for hunting because I hunt with a bow.  That doesn’t mean I won’t ever use a rifle again, it just means I prefer my bow over my gun these days.

What I like to do when I’m not hunting:
During the offseason of hunting, I like to section hike up the Application Trial, kayak down the Chattooga river through class III class IV rapids, fly fishing on the Chattahoochee River, and find the perfect weather to go camping.

My Professional Life:
As much as I like to get away to the outdoors, I do have a professional life too.  Currently, I’ve been putting my technical mind toward roofing here in Georgia which is fun and refreshing. Even started up a quality Roofing company called A Very Good Roofing & Restoration Company, LLC.  Yes, you read that correctly, it’s called just how it sounds.   Outside of that, for the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a freelance web designer and still do to this day.  I’ve had the pleasure of designing for some great outdoor companies.  It’s because of the clients that I can work from home at times and have a closer relationship with my family.  I can’t be thankful enough to have the ability to watch both my sons grow up and be there for them. That means more than anything to me.

Why podcasting?
I love listening to podcasts and there have been some good ones over the years. Lessening to podcasts helped me improve my ability as a bowhunter and while there are a few other podcasts on bowhunters, I believe Scott and I have a different take on the subject and feel this is a great outlet for us.  I hope in time people will come to trust our BowRush Podcast as a source to learn more about bow hunting.
