Passing the Bow: Scotty & Khyson Stewart

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Scotty Stewart and his 11-year-old son, Khyson. Scotty has over 30 years of bowhunting experience and spent many years pig dogging, and he’s well known for consistently taking big boars and Billy goats.

We talk about how Scotty got started, his journey through hunting, and what it’s been like passing that knowledge on to his son. Khyson is in and out of the podcast as we record at a park—chasing a feral cat, catching turtles, and just being a kid.

Khyson also shares his own hunting stories, including his first pig and two incredible Billy goats: a 37-inch at just 10 years old and a 38-inch—trophies most bowhunters dream of and spend a lifetime chasing.

Scotty dives into some wild stories about “Billy-eating boars”—pigs that are purely predatory and will kill and eat not only kid goats but mid to fully grown goats—and his theories on why this happens.

We had to wrap things up quicker than planned, with Scotty getting eaten alive by mozzies by the lake, but I’m looking forward to sitting down with him again and hearing more of his stories in future episodes.
