In this episode, I sit down with Cameron from Hawk Optics and we dig into the nuts and bolts of actually learning deer—how pressure, access, and human movement shape their behavior more than most folks realize. We talk about deer living in cattails, how their senses change with terrain, and why wind and entry routes quietly decide most hunts before you ever climb a tree. From a memorable Halloween sit to hard lessons pulled from past mistakes, this one’s about paying attention, adapting on the fly, and letting experience—not shortcuts—do the heavy lifting. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 471 Access routes and human pressure often dictate deer movement Deer use their senses differently depending on terrain, especially in cattails and open cover Wind direction quietly determines most encounters before a hunt ever starts Bedding preferences shift with pressure and environment, requiring adaptable setups Experience sharpens shot selection and decision-making in tight windows Patience and observation reveal patterns that cameras alone can’t teach Learning from past mistakes is the foundation for future success SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: — Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15 — Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Check out Spartan Forge to map your hunt —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes — Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

If you’ve ever hit that point in the season where you feel stuck—like the woods went quiet, the weather won’t cooperate, and your free time evaporated—this episode is for you. Chad Sylvester and I sit down and unpack everything from post-rut recovery to why late season success has far more to do with mindset and time management than perfect conditions. We get into the trap of comparing your season to anyone else’s, how to qualify your own process so you're actually improving, and what it looks like to reset and find opportunity when the plan starts to unravel. If you’re trying to figure out how to make the most of what’s left of the season—or how to learn from it—this is the kind of conversation that brings you back to center. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 470 Late-season hunting demands adaptability, strategic thinking, and realistic expectations. Feeling “stuck” is common in the deer woods, and shifting your perspective can open new opportunities. Time management and planning hunts around the best weather windows greatly improve success. Every hunt—successful or not—should be treated as an intel-gathering mission for future decisions. Comparison to other hunters derails progress; the real work happens in qualifying your own process. Regularly evaluating and adjusting your strategy is essential for long-term growth. Hunting is a slow burn—patience, mindset, and continuous learning matter more than short-term results.

Today’s episode is one of those conversations that feels more like sitting around a tailgate after a long hunt than recording a podcast. Tony and I get into all the stuff most folks don’t ever say out loud—the weird mix of privilege and pressure in modern hunting, what ‘authenticity’ even means anymore when everything online looks perfect, and how easy it is to forget what actually matters in this whole deal. We swap some stories about blown opportunities, the headaches of losing access and trying to scratch out a hunt on public, and the kind of hunts that shape you—especially the ones where nothing comes easy. We get into family hunts, the pull of different landscapes, and what it looks like to reevaluate your goals after a few seasons that didn’t go the way you planned. It’s raw, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation I think hunting needs more of. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 469 Authenticity matters more than ever in a digital world full of curated hunting content. Access—both private and public—shapes nearly every part of a hunter’s experience and opportunity. Missed chances and lost hunting ground take an emotional toll, but they’re also part of what makes the journey meaningful. Financial privilege and trophy-driven expectations can distort what real hunting success looks like. Family hunts and genuine time outdoors provide the fulfillment that social media can’t replicate.

In this one, we’re talking gear. Not a gear breakdown that’s chalked full of “here’s the free gear I received that I’m obligated to tell you about”…there are plenty of people who do those. I’m going to focus on …you know…things I actually use. With a heavy focus on stuff I keep in my truck as everyday carry for hunting season or just general preparedness. Lots of deals for the holiday season, so I figured I may be using something you could benefit from, and you may be able to find a deal on some of these items this time of year!

In this one, I walk you through a hunt that didn’t go the way I drew it up on the map. I lost access to ground overnight, the weather shut deer movement down, and I spent most of the trip bouncing around trying to find doe groups and make something happen with a longbow. It was frustrating, humbling, and honestly exactly the kind of hunt that teaches you more than a filled tag ever will. If you’ve had a season where nothing comes easy, this episode will probably hit close to home. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 467 Losing access to ground mid-trip can derail a hunt fast and forces you to rethink your entire plan. Weather swings can shut deer movement down, making it critical to adapt and stay mobile. Hunting pressure and limited access can shrink your options and demand better decision-making. Longbow hunting magnifies every mistake—five yards or a split-second can make or break an encounter. Every hunt—successful or not—adds to your understanding of deer behavior and sharpens your instincts.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Dan Johnson to talk about the chaos and beauty of the late rut — that unpredictable stretch when bucks are worn down, patterns fall apart, and you’ve got to grind for every opportunity. We swap stories from this season’s hunts, including Dan’s tough-as-nails mule deer trip and the lessons that came with it. From landlocked access battles and busted stalks to adjusting when the weather and the deer both refuse to cooperate, this one’s packed with hard-earned truths. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 466 Every day after the peak rut gets tougher, so you’ve got to work smarter, not harder. Cattle, terrain, and pressure can flip a hunt upside down — adaptability is everything. Missed shots and hard hunts teach more than perfect ones ever will. Humor and perspective keep the grind fun, whether you’re in the stand or in business. At the end of the day, it’s not about the tag — it’s about loving the process.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by Pennsylvania hunter Dominic Palombo to talk about what it really takes to find success in the deer woods. We get into his journey as a hunter, the value of putting in the miles and hours before the season, and how patience and humility shape the kind of hunter you become. Dominic breaks down his approach to scouting, how he uses trail cameras to build a plan, and the importance of developing real relationships with landowners. He also walks us through the story of a buck that taught him more about persistence than any tag ever could. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 465 Preparation and hard work in the off-season set the stage for success. Scouting and understanding deer behavior are key to consistent results. True hunters carry humility and learn from missed opportunities. Finding the right spot takes persistence and creative problem-solving. Trail cameras can enhance strategy but never replace woodsmanship.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Chad Sylvester to break down what it takes to level up. We dig into his recent trip to Idaho—a hunt that didn’t exactly go as planned but came loaded with lessons that stick. We talk about when to double down on what you do best and when to push past your comfort zone to grow as a hunter. From understanding terrain-specific deer behavior to balancing specialization with adaptability, this one’s all about the mental side of the game—how you think, adjust, and evolve season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 464 Mastering your whitetail hunt requires a diverse toolkit and adaptable mindset. Specialization builds confidence but can narrow your perspective. Chad’s Idaho hunt delivered hard-earned lessons and real-world insights. Micro-terrain and historical data hold the keys to consistent deer encounters. Familiarity bias can stall growth—explore new ground and learn from it. Listening to what the hunt tells you is often more valuable than any plan.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Jake Hofer to talk all things whitetail — the anticipation of the season, the emotional rollercoaster of chasing mature bucks, and the critical stretch we all know as scrape week. We dig into the fine details that separate good hunts from great ones — how to actually read scrapes, what deer are telling you through their behavior, and how trail cameras can guide your timing if you know what to look for. This one’s all about refining your process, trusting your gut, and letting the deer — not the hype — dictate your strategy. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 463 The anticipation for deer season fuels every hunter’s mindset. Influences like Bobby Worthington shape modern whitetail thinking. Emotional highs and lows define the pursuit of mature bucks. Scrape week is a pivotal window for capitalizing on deer movement. Trail cameras are tools — not replacements for woodsmanship. Adapting your strategy and trusting instincts lead to consistent success.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Dom Bolognese to talk about balancing real life with the obsession of chasing deer. We get into mentorship, adapting to different terrains, and the art of reading deer behavior—especially in high-pressure and suburban areas. Dom breaks down what it takes to consistently find and kill mature bucks, from asking permission to hunt private ground to understanding when baiting can actually make sense. It’s a gritty, honest look at how hard work, local knowledge, and discipline come together to make success in the whitetail woods possible. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 462 Balancing work, life, and hunting keeps the passion sustainable. Supportive partners and mentors make all the difference in a hunter’s growth. Local knowledge and terrain awareness drive consistent success. Early season hunts often offer the best odds for patterning mature deer. Asking permission and building trust with landowners can unlock new opportunities. Trail cameras and scouting reveal hidden patterns The true reward of hunting comes from the process, not just the shot.

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Justin Tabor to talk about the grind of deer hunting, balancing family life, and why discipline matters just as much in the gym as it does in the woods. Justin and I dive into the emotional side of chasing deer—the highs of connecting on a good buck, the frustration of tough seasons, and the lessons that come from spending time in the hills. We get into how travel hunting sharpens your skills, the importance of paying attention to details and deer behavior, and why building relationships with landowners through door knocking can open new opportunities. This one is about more than just filling a tag—it’s about savoring the wins, learning from the misses, and chasing that next challenge. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 461 Discipline in Fitness & Hunting – Justin shares how staying disciplined in the gym builds the same mental toughness needed in the woods. Travel Hunting Lessons – Hunting new states forces adaptation, sharpens strategies, and makes you a better hunter. Attention to Detail – Understanding deer behavior, reading terrain, and focusing on genetics can tip the odds in your favor.

In this episode of Truth From The Stand, I sit down with my buddy Tyler Jones to talk about life, hunting, and the lessons that tie them together. We get into the joys and struggles of parenting — from youth sports to that bittersweet moment when kids start stepping into adulthood — and how those same lessons apply in the deer woods. Tyler and I swap stories about hunting around cornfields, building a calculated approach for early season sits, and staying mentally sharp when the hunt doesn’t go your way. We dig into travel hunts, reading new terrain, and setting realistic expectations so you can enjoy the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. More than anything, this one is about humility, perspective, and letting hunting shape who we are — in the timber and at home. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 460 Be present and engaged with your kids as they grow. Adapt hunting strategies and life plans as circumstances change. Observation and patience are key to both parenting and hunting. Early season success requires a calculated, disciplined approach. Serving others and staying humble builds lasting fulfillment. Perspective and gratitude turn challenges into growth. Gritty experiences make success more meaningful.

In this week’s episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Jacob Emery to talk about everything from early-season Tennessee whitetails to raising the next generation of hunters. We get into the highs and lows of last year’s hunts, what it takes to be efficient in the field, and why preparation is the backbone of consistent success. Jacob shares the joy of hunting with his kids, the challenge of balancing family responsibilities with time in the woods, and the perspective that comes with seeing hunting as more than just chasing antlers. We also talk about guided hunts in Texas, dream hunts in Iowa, and how to make the most of the handful of perfect days each season gives you. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 459 Preparation Wins: Scouting, timing, and planning are the backbone of early-season success, especially in challenging places like Tennessee. Efficiency Matters: Making the most of prime days and hunting smart leads to better outcomes with limited time. Memories Over Antlers: The best seasons are measured by the experiences and lessons learned, not just the size of the buck. Adapt and Learn: Every season brings new challenges, mistakes, and opportunities for growth. Balance Is Key: Navigating family responsibilities while chasing deer requires communication and realistic expectations.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Derrick Dixon to dig into some next-level whitetail insights. Derrick has been blending old-school woodsmanship with cutting-edge drone research, and what he’s uncovering about deer behavior—especially around wind shifts, thermals, and how individual bucks move—is flat-out fascinating. We talk about the legacy of land management, the balance between hunting and photography, and those “aha” moments you only get from being in the field day after day. From pre-rut patterns to the chaos of peak rut, Derrick lays out strategies that prove the value of scouting, adaptability, and keeping things hands-on, no matter how much technology you use. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 458 The move from hunting to wildlife photography opened the door to deeper research opportunities. Using drones has revealed new details about deer movement, wind shifts, and unique individual behaviors. Bucks often show personality-driven patterns—home range size, trail use, and scent-checking habits all vary. Thermals and wind shifts play a massive role in how and when deer move. Scouting looks very different in ag country compared to hill country, and both require adaptability. Technology is useful, but nothing replaces boots-on-the-ground experience and field time.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Bill Thompson to dig into the overlap between hunting and jiu-jitsu. We talk about why having a system matters, how asking the right questions sharpens your approach, and why mindset is everything when the pressure is on—whether you’re on the mats or in the whitetail woods. Bill shares how flow state isn’t just a buzzword but a real advantage in both disciplines, and why chasing small, incremental improvements can lead to big results over time. We get into the way social media warps what “success” looks like, the value of teaching the next generation, and how reflection and journaling can make you a better hunter and a better person. Bill also gives us a peek into his upcoming season and what’s next for Spartan Forge, with an emphasis on doing things the right way—building quality tools and investing in the hunting community. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 457 Hunting and jiu-jitsu both demand embracing discomfort and challenges. Systems and asking the right questions lead to better decision-making. Flow state creates clarity and therapy in both the woods and on the mats. The process of growth is more valuable than the end result. Mindset and grounded confidence shape outcomes in hunting and life. Small, consistent improvements build long-term success. Passing lessons to the next generation keeps traditions alive.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Alex Chopp to talk mobile and travel hunting. We dig into how early experiences and family shaped our approaches, the importance of staying adaptable in the field, and why mindset matters just as much as gear. Alex and I cover everything from learning hard lessons through failure to the freedom that comes with being mobile, reflecting on how success in the deer woods often comes down to presence, persistence, and the willingness to keep moving. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 456 Hunting is about the process, not just the outcome. Early lessons shape your expectations and mindset in the woods. Adaptability and presence are key to consistent success. Every hunter develops a style that matches their personality. Mistakes and risk-taking create the best learning opportunities. Gear matters, but mindset carries more weight.

Greg dives into traditional bow setups, trusting your instincts, and how topo maps can make or break a hunt. We also get into the practical stuff—like shot placement, patience in the stand, and balancing family life with time in the woods.

In this episode, I’m joined by my buddy Justin Hollandsworth for a wide-ranging conversation on the discipline it takes to stay fit and ready for a hunt. We get into the weeds on deer behavior—why some bucks are social butterflies while others seem born to be loners—and how that knowledge can shape your scouting and stand placement. Justin and I swap stories on the highs and lows of traditional archery, the adrenaline of chasing elk and moose, and the value of making mistakes you can actually learn from. It’s a conversation about preparation, patience, and the kind of experience you can only earn with time in the wild. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 453 Understanding local deer behavior and habits is critical for success. Scouting and timing can significantly improve hunting outcomes. Social bucks are often more predictable than loners. Experience and learning from mistakes sharpen decision-making in the field. Traditional archery adds unique challenges and rewards. Hunting different species like elk and moose broadens skills and perspective. Preparation and planning are as important as the hunt itself.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I caught up with my buddy Jacob Sklenar for a conversation that goes well beyond tree stand tactics. We talk about life changes—like his recent marriage—and how those moments shift the way we approach not just hunting, but everything.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Chad Sylvester for a conversation that digs deeper than gear and shot placement. We talk about what it really means to be prepared—not just physically, but mentally—for the hunt. We get into how instinct, mindset, and adaptability often matter more than any piece of equipment you can strap to your back. Chad and I reflect on the importance of letting each hunt teach you something, even when the freezer stays empty. This one’s about learning from the process, leaning into the uncertainty, and letting the woods shape the kind of hunter—and person—you’re becoming. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 451 Set clear goals to get the most from every hunt. Preparation—mental and physical—is non-negotiable. A primal connection to the process makes the experience richer. Intuition often beats overthinking in the moment of truth. Mindset and adaptability matter more than most realize. The hunt should shape you—not just your freezer.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Jason Batson for a no-BS conversation about bowhunting, deer behavior, and the constant process of figuring it all out. Jason shares what it’s like chasing whitetails in the rolling terrain of Missouri, how he plays the wind, and why keeping things simple usually gets him closer to deer. We get into the highs and lows of past seasons—including the ones where things didn’t go as planned—and talk about adapting after injuries, trusting your gut, and learning from every sit. Whether it’s finding fresh sign, hunting scrapes, or just appreciating time in the timber, Jason brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to hunting that’s all about doing the work and enjoying the ride. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 450 Wind and deer behavior matter more than scent control. Time in the woods and good gear—especially boots—go a long way. Mentorship and trial-and-error shape better hunters. Focus on bedding, scrapes, and habitat edges. Public land calls for adaptable, confident strategy. Enjoy the process—meat or antlers, it’s all part of the reward.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Cody D’Acquisto for a conversation that digs deep into more than just treestand setups and big bucks on the wall. Cody’s fresh off the road and gearing up for his upcoming road show, and we break down what it means to really unplug from the noise and lean into the lessons the woods — and the mats — have to offer. We get into how elimination and identification shape our hunting decisions, why mastering the fundamentals matters whether you’re tightening a choke in jiu jitsu or slipping an arrow through a buck’s ribs, and how the right mindset can make or break your hunt before you ever lace up your boots. Cody shares what he’s seeing out there, where he’s headed next, and why the pressure we carry these days sometimes needs to be left at the truck. It’s an honest look at discipline, flow state, and why the best lessons still come from just showing up, putting in the work, and staying present enough to enjoy the whole damn ride. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 449 Unplugging from tech is tougher — and more rewarding — than folks think. Road shows give Cody fresh lessons and real connections with hunters everywhere. Cutting dead spots and doubling down on good ground makes all the difference. Mastery, whether on the mats or in the stand, comes down to intent and time under tension. Staying present and trusting flow beats overthinking every time. Hunting is unpredictable — persistence and grit usually beat raw talent. Cody’s fired up for the next hunt, the next roll, and the next chance to learn.

In this kickoff episode, we break down the fundamentals of using trail cameras not as a gimmick, but as a strategic tool to scout smarter and hunt more effectively.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast, I sit down with Trent Wengerd—a dyed-in-the-wool bowhunter and a true craftsman when it comes to building stick bows that flat-out get the job done. We dig into Trent’s upbringing in the wide-open country of Montana, the early days that pulled him into archery, and how he turned a passion for hunting into an art form behind the bowyer’s bench. From chasing bugling bulls in the Idaho backcountry to dialing in every curve and limb of a hand-built bow, Trent shares stories and lessons that remind us why the old ways still matter. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build your own bows—or you just love hearing about wild places and the folks who thrive in them—this one’s worth your time. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 448 Hunting Transition: Explore Trent's shift from gun hunting to archery and the challenges of crafting bows. Memorable Adventures: Hear about Trent's thrilling elk hunts in Idaho and his insights into hunting mountain goats.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by Joe Miles, and we cover a lot of ground—from the whitetail woods to the African bush. Joe and I get into that constant tug-of-war between old-school hunting instincts and the rapid rise of modern gear and technology. We talk about where tradition still matters, where innovation is helping, and how to walk the line between the two without losing your edge. Joe also shares the story of his recent leopard hunt in Africa, and if you’ve ever wanted a firsthand account of just how unpredictable and intense a hunt like that can be, you’ll want to hear this. We dive into what that kind of experience teaches you—not just about hunting, but about patience, respect for the animal, and how little control we actually have when we step into the wild. We also hit on business, teamwork, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can handle adversity—whether that’s in the boardroom or fifteen yards from a blind with your heart in your throat. It’s a conversation about risk, reward, and the things that keep us coming back to this lifestyle, season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 447 Adaptability is key—hunting strategies must shift with changing conditions. Cell cams and tech are tools, not crutches, when used with discipline. Old-school woodsmanship still matters in a high-tech world. Evolving gear can boost success but doesn’t replace skill or instinct. Every terrain brings new challenges—African leopard hunts included. Wildlife is unpredictable, and that’s what makes the chase worth it.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by traditional bowhunter Chris Parrino—a guy who’s lived a hunting life most of us only dream about. We dig into the roots of his passion, from growing up in a blue-collar family to chasing grizzlies, moose, and polar bears with a stickbow. Chris opens up about what it really takes to hunt at a high level with traditional gear—the failures, the close calls, and the quiet discipline behind decades of consistent success. We talk about the changing face of bowhunting, the importance of humility, and why doing it the hard way still matters. If you’re into wild places, serious challenges, and learning from a guy who’s been there and done it the right way, this is one you won’t want to miss. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 446 How a blue-collar upbringing shaped his bowhunting path. Building his own bows and sticking with traditional gear. Grizzly, moose, and polar bear hunts - raw adventure. Chris explains why hunting stays a passion, not a profession. Technology has changed hunting—for better or worse. Solo hunts and failure taught him grit, patience, and perspective. His biggest hunts highlight the value of preparation and humility.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand Podcast , I sat down with my buddy David Riley to talk about more than just killing deer. We got into what really makes this whole thing matter—building friendships through the hunt, learning from the folks you meet along the way, and keeping your passion alive by stepping out of your comfort zone. David’s coming off a hell of a season, with stories from solo trips out west to lessons learned hunting closer to home in Michigan and Illinois. We dig into scouting strategies, adapting to unfamiliar terrain, and how the best education often comes from boots-on-the-ground experience. We also talk about what happens after the shot—the gratitude, the reflection, and how those memories stick with you long after the freezer’s full. Whether you’re chasing whitetails in your home state or chasing a new tag across the country, this conversation is about growing as a hunter and appreciating the process every step of the way. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 445 Scouting, especially in unfamiliar terrain, is key to consistent success. Travel hunts offer new challenges that test and sharpen your skills. Trusting your gut in the moment can often beat overthinking. Social media, when used right, can connect like-minded hunters and open doors. The joy of hunting comes as much from the process as it does from punching tags. Reflecting on wins and misses—especially solo—is where the real growth happens.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sat down with Chad Sylvester for a no-BS conversation about the real stuff—missed chances, pressure-packed decisions, and why some of our best lessons come from the hunts that don’t end with a grip-and-grin - the harsh truths of bowhunting. We dig into the mental side of the game—why confidence matters, how deer behavior can turn on a dime, and why there’s no such thing as a universal strategy. Chad and I talk abou the myth of the perfect plan, and why understanding wind is probably more important than whatever new gadget you just bought. We also get into how gear helps—but only if you know how to actually use it—and how experience in the field, not the checkout cart, leads to consistent success. Whether it’s learning how to draw on a cagey buck or deciding when to back out, this one’s full of the gritty, nuanced reality of chasing mature deer. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 444 Hunting success hinges on tough decisions made under pressure—not perfect conditions. Missed opportunities often teach more than punched tags. Confidence and adaptability are built through uncomfortable, real-world hunts. Wind mapping and understanding deer behavior are non-negotiables for chasing mature bucks. There’s no magic formula—developing a personal skillset is key. Gear helps, but only if you’ve earned the know-how to use it well.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Truth From The Stand Podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by Jason Redd, and we dive into one of those conversations that feels a little more like sitting around a fire than checking boxes on a hunting talk list. We cover everything from the pressure that comes with modern technology and constant communication, to how learning to unplug—both in the woods and in life—can reset your mindset in a good way. Jason shares how his approach to hunting has shifted over time, especially as he's taken on the challenge of chasing deer in low-density areas where patience, grit, and strategy really matter. We also get into how your instincts tend to sharpen the more time you spend in the woods, and how sometimes success comes down to timing, adaptability, and a little bit of luck. This one’s about the long game—learning from your hunts, trusting your gut, and remembering that the hunt is about a lot more than just punching a tag. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 443 Disconnecting from tech isn’t just good for your brain—it’s good for your hunting too. Chasing deer in low-density areas teaches a whole different kind of patience and grit. The older you get, the more your strategies shift from aggressive to calculated. Sometimes the smartest move you can make is slowing down and trusting your gut. Hunting the Carolinas means dealing with tough terrain and even tougher deer—but the reward is worth it. Success often hinges more on timing, discipline, and knowing the land than motivation or gear. At the end of the day, it’s not just about filling a tag—it’s about learning something every time you step into the woods.

In this episode, I sit down with my buddy Michael Varady for a wide-ranging conversation that covers way more than just tagging a buck. We dig into the lessons learned from switching between traditional and compound bows, how target panic creeps in, and why consistent practice—both physical and mental—is critical if you want to stay sharp when it counts. Michael’s gearing up for a big move and exploring new hunting ground, so we break down what it takes to scout fresh terrain, build a plan from scratch, and adapt to unfamiliar areas. We also dive into blood trailing, shot placement, thermals, and the reality of marginal hits—stuff every serious hunter wrestles with eventually. Whether you’re slinging a stickbow or shooting a compound, this episode is about progression, patience, and owning every step of the process. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 442 Target panic is real—sharpening your mental game can help beat it. Practicing under pressure matters; you shoot how you train, especially when it counts. Tracking wounded deer—every decision matters. Trail cams help, but nothing replaces time in the woods. Visualization isn’t fluff—it’s a skill that separates consistent killers from the rest. New terrain brings new challenges, but adapting to it builds better hunters. Every missed shot, busted stalk, and long blood trail teaches you something.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Truth From The Stand podcast. In this episode, I’m catching up with Tom Murphy—a guy who knows his way around a ball field, and the big woods! We cover some ground in this one. We dig into how growing up with rock and metal shaped us, how pro sports and bowhunting both demand a gritty mindset, and how the traditions we’re raised with show up in the woods whether we realize it or not. Tom opens up about a specific buck that taught him hard lessons—the kind that don’t show up on a trail cam. We talk about swampy, unforgiving terrain, and why sometimes, in both hunting and life, your best bet is to stop chasing perfection and just trust your gut. This one’s about the crossover—where baseball meets bowhunting, where mindset trumps data, and where growing up with a little chip on your shoulder turns out to be your greatest asset. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 441 Lifting weights, chasing deer, and traveling for pro sports all come with discomfort—but they build resilience. Hunting swamps in New York requires the same gut instincts and patience that make good ballplayers and better hunters. Understanding a buck’s personality can be just as important as reading sign or camera data. Balancing aggression with patience—and why sometimes you’ve got to push the pace to grow. The “weed mentality” comes up—thriving without support, adapting on the fly, and finding a way to win in tough terrain. Whether you’re behind a bat or behind a bow, success often comes down to one thing: trusting your gut and pulling the trigger.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by Brian Dombrowski—a guy who’s put in more than his fair share of miles chasing deer across a range of terrain, from flatlands to big woods. We dive deep into what makes mature bucks tick, how scouting plays a role beyond trail cams, and why visual confirmation still trumps digital data. Brian shares his approach to patterning deer by behavior, not just sign, and we get into everything from the strategic use of mock scrapes to the rising cost of deer mounts and the real reason some guys just burn out. We also hit on the value of solitude, instinct, and pushing yourself past the easy button in both public and private land settings. This one’s for the folks who are still grinding and still learning—season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 440 Scouting and understanding deer movement Simple strategies often beat overcomplicated setups Property lines and public/private dynamics Mature bucks don’t move like the rest Early scrapes, bedding shifts, and dominant does Hunting alone sharpens your instincts, but burnout is real SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: — Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15 — Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes — Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Truth From The Stand podcast. In today’s episode, I’m catching up with my buddy Johnny to talk about life’s evolution—balancing family, chasing whitetails, and pursuing personal passions like jiu-jitsu. We dive into how parenting and the pressures of the hunting industry shift your perspective, and why finding community and staying true to your pursuits matters more now than ever. We also dig into the parallels between hunting and jiu-jitsu—how real growth usually comes from leaning into discomfort, and how being intentional, whether you're in the woods or on the mats, makes all the difference. Johnny and I talk about confidence, the struggle with promotions, and how competition (in any area of life) sharpens you if you let it. We also dive into Iowa whitetails, lessons learned from missed opportunities, and how planning—whether for a big hunt or the next tournament—is what really sets you up for success. It's a conversation about preparation, grit, and why shared experiences in the outdoors always seem to bring it all full circle. Life changes force you to reset your priorities and rethink how you spend your time Growth comes from leaning into discomfort and showing up when it’s hard. Real progress demands discipline over motivation. Community and vulnerability are the real engines behind growth. The worst training days and the biggest hunting misses usually teach you the most. Planning and intentionality in both hunting and training lead to better, more consistent outcomes.

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m catching up with Jake Hofer. If you’re into getting better at hunting and managing ground the right way, this one’s for you. We talk about the real work behind whitetail management, the kind that doesn’t show up in a highlight reel—tree planting, fixing screw-ups, and learning to let the land teach you a few hard lessons. Jake also talks about stepping into ownership at Whitetail Master Academy, and how diving deeper into habitat work and smarter hunting strategies has changed how he approaches chasing big deer. We cover everything from balancing work, life, and whitetails, to late-season muzzleloader success, to how traditional archery will flat-out expose your weaknesses. If you want the honest version of what it takes to get better in the deer woods, it's all packed into this episode. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 438 Balance the chaos—hunting, work, and life all even out over time. Smarter hunting starts with efficient scouting and patient land management. Every property has a ceiling—success comes from knowing and working with it. Growth in the woods (and in life) is about learning, failing, and staying hungry.

On this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Tyler Jones—someone you probably know from The Element crew. We get into the thick of it: deer hunting, turkey hunting, road trips, and all the curveballs that come from chasing critters in places you’ve never stepped foot in. But this conversation goes deeper than just chasing mature bucks and birds. We talk about how life on the road chasing music dreams actually mirrors the pursuit of becoming a better hunter. Tyler shares what it’s like trying to balance it all—travel, family, and the grit it takes to keep moving forward when everything tells you to quit. There’s plenty of humility, a fair share of laughs, and some honest talk about the kind of perspective that only comes after missing more than you hit. We dig into how failure can be the best teacher, why staying grateful matters more than you think, and how adapting in the field—and in life—is what separates those who keep growing from those who give up. This one’s as much about personal growth as it is about hunting. Hope you enjoy it. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 437 Hunting, touring bands, and travel hunts all teach grit and resilience. Comfort isn’t guaranteed when you’re travel hunting in new places—it’s part of the fun. Failure, both in the field and in life, often teaches more than success ever could. Balancing family, passion, and purpose is messy—but it’s where growth happens. Humility, not ego, is the key to becoming a better hunter and a better person. The path to mastery—whether in hunting or life—is about learning, adapting, and showing up. Gratitude and perspective can turn even the toughest moments into something meaningful.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sat down with my buddy Brandon Barlow to talk through some of the more nuanced aspects of deer hunting that go way beyond just putting a stand in a good spot and hoping for the best. Brandon’s the kind of guy who’s not just chasing deer—he’s breaking down their behavior, layering in camera data, and making sense of the landscape they live in. We take a deep dive into the Magnolia Buck—one of those hunts where patience, timing, and knowing the local deer intimately made all the difference. We also cover Brandon’s “70 Rule” for aging fawns based on track size, why understanding bedding and social structure matters, and how using historical camera data can help build better strategies season after season. Whether it’s trail cam placement, identifying browse damage, or reading subtle travel corridors during the rut, this conversation is packed with real-world insight you can use. If you’re serious about understanding why bucks do what they do—and how to build a plan that works around them instead of forcing one on them—this one’s for you. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 436 It can take 2–3 years to truly understand a new hunting area and develop a strategy The “70 Rule” helps age fawns by track size and better predict estrus timing within doe groups Bedding shifts with weather and pressure The Magnolia Buck story shows how patience and historical intel lead to payoff Focus on primary bedding and “spot within a spot” setups to find mature bucks Use trail cams to inform woodsman-ship—not replace it SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: — Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15 — Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes — Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I sit down with Tony Peterson for a conversation that starts with deer and turkeys—and then runs as wide and deep as the backcountry itself. We get into the real nuts and bolts of hunting: why in-season scouting often trumps postseason planning, how observing deer in real time teaches more than any app ever could, and why flexible strategies almost always beat rigid ones in the whitetail woods. We talk about reading deer behavior, understanding annual patterns, and the critical role of food sources and bedding in getting close to mature bucks. Tony breaks down how deer navigate pressure and terrain, and why adapting to those conditions is non-negotiable if you want to be successful. There’s also some real talk about what it means to hunt well—how note-taking, self-awareness, and a healthy dose of humility can shift the whole experience. And yeah, we even veer into fishing, failure, outer space, and the human condition. Because at the end of the day, it’s all connected—hunting, learning, growing, and finding joy in the process. This one’s about more than tags. It’s about doing the work, enjoying the ride, and becoming a better version of yourself along the way. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 435 In-season scouting and real-time observation beat off-season assumptions. Flexibility in strategy is key—rigid plans rarely survive first contact with a deer. Trail cams are tools, not gospel—boots on the ground still matter most. Deer behavior is deeply individual; patterns help, but they’re not promises. Hunting is a long game, and success comes from learning, failing, and adapting. The experience in the woods—wins, losses, and quiet moments—is where the real value lies. Whether it’s hunting, fishing, or life, discipline, curiosity, and presence are what move the needle.

In this episode of Truth From The Stand , I sit down with Lucas Benoit—a lifelong New Hampshire deer tracker with a deep understanding of big woods bucks. We dig into the realities of hunting low-density whitetails in the rugged backcountry of New England, where every step counts and patience is currency. Lucas talks about how terrain, pressure, and age class play into buck behavior, and why spending time in the woods is the only way to really learn it. We also get into tracking deer in snow, hunting mixed timber and swamp country, and the mental grit it takes to chase deer where seeing even one is a win.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Chris Weist, a Pennsylvania native with deep roots in both hunting and competitive powerlifting. We cover a lot of ground in this one—from what it means to chase big deer on pressured ground to what it takes to recover from serious injuries and still get after it. Chris shares the story of his first deer, what he learned growing up in a hunting family, and how the lessons from the gym carry over into the woods. We talk about the mental side of training, how injuries like a torn pec tendon shift your perspective, and why being mindful in both your training and your time afield matters more than you think. We also dive into scouting, the difference between hunting with a compound and a trad bow, and why post-season prep is where the real work gets done. If you’re into the grind of deer hunting and the grit it takes to stay in the game—whether you're in the gym or up a tree—this one’s for you. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 433 Postseason scouting is key to staying ahead of big deer. Long-term observation and knowing how wind and thermals move through a spot pays dividends Traditional bowhunting forces you to slow down, get close, and think like a deer Good hunting isn’t about body counts—it’s about time in the woods and what you learn from it Training and recovery off-season matters just as much as boot time when the rut hits Injury or not, showing up and staying in the game speaks volumes about passion and grit SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: — Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15 — Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes — Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we’re talking about setbacks, comebacks, and the kind of grit it takes to keep hunting when life throws you a curveball.

We dive into how time off can shift your perspective, sharpen your focus, and make you appreciate the small victories that come with getting back in the woods. We also break down the raw beauty and brutal lessons of longbow hunting—why it challenges everything you think you know, how ground hunting changes the game, and why confidence with your gear is just as important as picking the right tree. From tuning a bow to adjusting your expectations in the field, we get into what it really takes to become a better hunter, not just a luckier one. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, diving into traditional archery, or just looking for ways to hunt smarter, this episode is all about learning, adapting, and getting after it.

On this episode of Truth From The Stand, I sit down with Joel Turner, a guy who knows more about the mental side of archery than just about anyone. We’re not just talking about shooting—we’re talking about the mind game behind every release, every draw, and every moment of high-stakes hunting. Joel breaks down the difference between thoughts and thinking, why what you say to yourself before a shot matters, and how to control adrenaline when everything is on the line. We get into the transition to traditional archery, why shot control is everything, and the blueprint for building a rock-solid shooting process. If you’ve ever struggled with target panic, blown a shot at the worst possible time, or just want to be more deliberate and lethal with a bow in your hands, this episode is for you. Joel’s approach to mental performance and archery mastery will change how you think about shooting—and maybe even how you think about hunting altogether. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 431 Your mind matters more than your muscles—mental control separates great shooters from average ones. Talk yourself through the shot—what you say in the moment can make or break execution. Breathe, aim, execute—controlling adrenaline starts with your breath, not your bow. You have more time than you think—rushing leads to mistakes, trust the process. Confidence is built, not given—a repeatable shot sequence is the foundation of accuracy. Flinching isn’t failure, it’s feedback—learn from your mistakes, don’t ignore them. Traditional archery exposes weakness—but mastering it makes you a deadlier hunter.

Join me on the Truth From the Stand Podcast as I sit down with Troy Fowler to delve into the heart of bowhunting and arrow dynamics. We're diving deep into the world of hunting experiences, arrow spine, and fine-tuning those crucial shots. Troy drives home the critical nature of arrow flight, spotlighting how using underspined arrows can dramatically impact lethality out in the field. Plus, he shares invaluable insights into bare shafting and its profound effect on arrow trajectory. But wait, there's more! We're not just talking compound bows here. Traditional archery aficionados, listen up! Troy sheds light on how traditional techniques can inform your approach to arrow tuning, especially when you're wielding a compound bow. And let's not forget about arrow point weight – a small detail with massive implications for your shot's precision. We're also dissecting the broadhead game, folks. From sharpness to durability, we're weighing the pros and cons of single bevel versus three-blade broadheads and how they impact penetration and wound channels. And believe me, we're not skimping on the nitty-gritty details of arrow weight and speed, crucial factors for achieving that buttery-smooth flight every hunter dreams of. But here's the kicker: Troy spills the beans on why heavy arrows and single-bevel broadheads reign supreme when it comes to bone-crushing penetration. And before we wrap up, we're tackling the age-old question: What's the ideal angle for bagging that prized deer? Spoiler alert: It's all about accuracy and effectiveness, my friends. So, grab your gear, tune in, and let's up our bowhunting game together! WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 386 Arrow flight is crucial for bowhunting success, and underspined arrows can reduce lethality. Bare shafting and tuning arrows can greatly improve arrow flight and accuracy. Traditional archery can provide valuable insights into arrow tuning and manipulation. Choosing the right broadhead is crucial, and sharpness and durability are key factors to consider. Single bevel broadheads are easy to sharpen and provide good penetration. Three-blade broadheads are also effective and offer consistent pass-through. One-piece machined heads are recommended for durability and performance. Shot placement is critical Shooting where the animal wants to be shot increases the chances of a successful kill. Arrow weight and speed play a role in achieving consistent flight and penetration.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Sam Ubl. Sam has been hunting public and by permission land, and using water access way before it was “cool.” Sam has a DIY mentality, where there’s a will there’s a way. This approach came from trudging through the swamps of Wisconsin with his dad as a youngster, where sometimes making your own water access skis were a necessity to cross the marsh, reeds and bog. Now…with a camera in hand you can see Sam and his crew at work on Chase Nation. This conversation was a long time coming, and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Brandon Barlow. Brandon hunts public and small permission parcels in the south. As a native New Yorker he's had to adapt his hunting approach from relying on the historical calendar dates of good whitetail hunting...to now using long-term data to keep him in the game as his season is much longer. And the deer seem to have a much broader breeding window within specific pockets. He runs 100+ cameras a year and has been able to glean some pretty interesting observations.

Today on the podcast I did something a little different. My buddy Aaron Hepler and I headed south to Virginia to do something I’ve never done before. We went quail hunting with bird dogs with the folks at Cumberland Estate. I’ve hunted rabbits with dogs as a kid, but the only upland bird hunting I’ve ever done was busting brush with the old man chasing pheasants…never with a dog. And, I love anything with history behind it and the grounds we stayed on and hunted were full of history and birds. Great people, great quail hunting, amazing bird dogs, and rich with colonial era history. The unintended benefit…I learned this are is a sleeper spot for big deer…shhh.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t hard lessons to learn…even for the most experienced woodsman. Most guys are thrilled to fill a tag no matter how the hunt ends so long as it end with a buck on the ground. Jace is a little different and the hunt and the animal means more to him than another piece of taxidermy on his wall. He’s been successful this season yet again…but he wasn’t happy with how the hunt unfolded - he expects more from himself and it’s why you won’t find a whitetail more deserving of success.

This year He drew a coveted Iowa tag…but made the decision to leave Iowa during prime—time to catch a few good weather days at home in Illinois. Sounds crazy to leave Iowa, right?

Today I’m joined by my buddy Erik Barber. Erik has had a killer fall, filling two archery tags. Funny thing about filling tags early, is you sometimes feel like you’re missing out with so much season left. I don’t think anyone would complain about filling tags early…but there is definitely some fear of missing out, or missing those November sunrises. Erik is as passionate an outdoorsman as you’ll find, initially cutting his teeth at Midwest whitetail with the guys from THP and now working for Vortex Optics. Making your passion your job can create some turbulence in keeping joy in the hunt. WE talk about Eriks phenomenal fall and how he’s learned to keep the hunting fires burning bright while working in the outdoor industry for a decade.

Today We’re talking about my recent hunt in Kansas. Three seasons ago I set a goal to kill a Kansas whitetail from the ground. I had a lot of opportunities that I screwed up the previous seasons. Each set up got a little better last year and I really felt this was the year to meet my goal. I wasn’t looking for a giant…when I hunt out of state, my mission is to try and take a buck that is the average/representative animal for the area I’m hunting. It would’ve been really easy to screw this hunt up. A lot of things when the deer were approaching were not breaking my way. I had to make a lot of small and quick decisions on how to play the situation. I think a lot of things I do outside of hunting that helps me be more present in my day to day life, and mentally in control of my emotions/actions was actually what allowed the arrow to get released…and be fatal. When it came to those critical seconds that stood between a grip and grin and just another story of a great encounter…I was in control this time. I remembered every detail…no auto-pilot…no blacking out and not remembering the shot. Fully present. I hope you all dig the session, and as always thank you all for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline. Beyond Jared being a killer with the stick and string, he’s the passion behind Whitetail Adrenaline that brings us, what I consider, to be the hands down best hunting content ever made.

Today we’re doing something a little different… I’m turning over the reins of the show to my buddy Aaron Hepler to talk about the filling my PA tag this October. Pulling this buck out with my kayak was something I set as a goal a few years ago when I found this area scouting. I’ve been beaten by two different bucks in this spot the previous two season…things finally came together on October 16th.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Austin Culbertson. Austin is one of the killers from Missouri that I’ve come to know over the past few seasons. If you remember the episode he and I did last season, he talked about a buck that got away that was haunting him…a true giant that was living in plain site…but seemed un-killable - then he got his chance and the worst situation for a bowhunter happened. Going into the offseason he only wanted to know if this deer he’s played chess with was still alive…he was.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Tony Peterson. Tony has been on the show a handful of times and I consider him to be one of the best public land hunters I’ve ever met. More than that, he has a keen ability to observe, gain perspective, articulate complex situations and execute a plan…be it hunting strategy, or life events in general. He chases the experience above everything…truthfully it’s a perspective I’ve gained from spending time with him and it’s made hunting better for me. I’m glad to call him a friend and always enjoy our conversations. Hope you guys dig it as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my buddy Cody D’Acquisto. Over the past few seasons Cody has evolved is approach to bowhunting…switching to traditional archery equipment, he’s always been one for unconventional low stand set ups…no camo and he’s done away with using trail cameras. He’s a dying breed of bowhunter who enjoys the harder things in life…whether it’s challenging hunts…or iron man style races he’s for sure a dying breed.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Hunter Hogan. Hunter, as his name would suggests, was almost destined to be a mature buck killer. At 25 he’s racking up an impressive resume. What’s most impressive is his dedication to his craft…professional archer, and mature buck killer. His life is purpose built to always be in the hunt. He’s recently launched a YouTube channel (Hunter Hogan) where you can see him travel the country filling tags. As authentic and skilled public land hunter as you’ll find- thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Jake Kremer owner of North Idaho Archery. Jake is an outlier in Idaho. Most folks in the west are die-hard elk hunters. While Jake filled his tag on an Idaho bull this year…he’s admittedly a more die-hard mountain whitetail hunter than an elk hunter. I’ve hunted the area Jake calls home. Rarely do I do an episode where both the guest and I have some knowledge of the exact same areas. it was cool to talk about some of the whitetail sign I saw while in the Idaho mountains and talk through what the hunt options might be for those areas.

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Eddie Claypool. Eddie has been chasing DIY hunts and animals across the country since the late 70’s. You could say he’s the original DIY bowhunter. He’s lived the hay day of whitetail hunting in the midwest and hunted the best of the west for the better part of 40 years. Even though DIY blood runs through his veins, he’s changed his approach the past few years - time changes everyone and everything. You could say he pauses now to smell the roses. There’s wisdom in experience and age. And sometimes the best wisdom has less to do with how to fill tags and more to do with the importance of being in the moment…maybe it’s a cautionary tale of what might be slipping away from us. This might be a good reminder to breathe deep, and soak it all in as we kick off the season - thanks for listening. To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Dr. Bronson Strickland of Mississippi State University Deer Lab. Dr. Strickland and his team are always performing whitetail research to better understand their worlds - in today’s episode we’re diving into scrape research. What I like most about talking with Dr. Strickland is he can articulate things we may see as hunters but not fully understand. While keeping facts at the forefront, shedding light on hunting myths or adding validity to hunter observation. As a hunter and a deer biologist, he’s well positioned to understand the desires of hunters, while taking an scientific approach to understanding the animals we love to chase. - thanks for listening.

If you know John’s background as a former undercover narcotics cop and his love of fitness, then you know this shooting CrossFit games style of competition is up his alley.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Dan Tutor. Dan hunts the islands off the coast of Maine. I’ve always had an interest in island hunting but two things that held me back was …water access via the sea/bay (seems dicey and borderline stupid for someone who didn’t grow up around the ocean) and giving up a mid west hunt to hunt the north east where they’re not known for great whitetail hunting (compared to the midwest). Well…I still may not have my sea legs, but Dan has hauled in a few deer that put to rest any concerns of the caliber of bucks you can find on the islands. I hope you all dig this session as much as I did…I think I might be an Island hunter in the future! To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

As awesome as Merino wool is for base layers, in its natural form it may not be the best material for outer layers until now.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Mario Trafficante. Mario and I met and realized we had way more in common than our passion for bowhunting. We both recognize the larger patterns in our lives that complement each other, drives our passion, our curiosity, and at times creativity. If you allow it, hunting can enrich your life beyond the tree stand. And the same can be said that anything you're passionate about can positively influence your hunting. Like most things in life, mindset and how you process the world around you is everything. Mario is not just a great hunter, but he gets it…the pursuit of experiences, the quest for knowledge, to make him a better hunter…but ultimately a better human.

It was those early big woods lessons that built a foundation that allows him to find success in any terrain. Justin is also one of those guys, that if you’re lucky, you have the good fortune in life to meet. He’s as sharp of a woodsman as you’ll find and an absolute killer in the whitetail woods.

Steve Steve accumulated a mountain of trail camera data over the years and has uncovered some pretty good predictors for when deer in the mountains are most vulnerable.

Today I’m joined my buddy Joe Miles. Joe has been traveling and killing mature deer, among other species, for a long time. You’d be hard pressed to find a guy more dedicated to the hun and chess match than Joe. His wall proves his strategic abilities, but it’s his mental toughness and willingness to stay in the game…when others won’t, that makes him different.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Paul Putera. Paul is one of those public land guys that’s comfortable with the uncomfortable. Whether it’s talking the long way in to keep is access clean. Or just thinking outside the box, doing the opposite of what all other hunters are doing to find the overlooked hidden spots holding mature bucks. High pressure areas, Big woods, swamps, hill country…doesn’t matter. My money is on Paul to haul out a mature buck . Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my buddy Heath Cisco. Heath likely needs little introduction, he’s been killing mature bucks consistently for years. He’s the rare breed that can consistently target a specific mature buck and ultimately have that beast fall to his arrow. While he enjoys hunting all parts of the fall, he’s deadly with a front in October, and might be even better when the clock winds down and the brutal late season conditions roll in…he didn’t get the nickname “Iceman” for nothing!

Today I'm joined by my buddy Matt Zirnsak from The Push Archery. Matt and The Push Archery are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything traditional archery. As many of you know, I’ve been considering hunting with traditional equipment this year, and of course have a lot of questions.

Today I'm joined by my buddy Jason Michael. I like to refer to Jason as the original DIY Traveling Whitetail Gypsy. He’s like a walking welcome center for any state, and any public ground. I’ve rarely mentioned a piece of ground in any state that he wasn’t familiar with. He’s as sharp a woodsman as they come, deadly with a stick and string in his hand…but beyond that…he might be one of the nicest humans you’ll ever meet.

Today I'm joined by my buddy Kevin Vistisen. Quality of life has probably been on most peoples minds the past few years. I know it has been something I’ve given a fair amount of thought. Whether it’s to hunt more, be in better physical shape, or provide your family with the type of lifestyle you desire…these things usually come with sacrifice in the short-term for longer-term rewards. You’ll hear a lot of people talk about such things…but few act. Kevin is acting, and today we talk about evolving your life and your families life to focus on quality vs quantity…and better deer hunting…of course - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my buddy Mike Perry from Pennsylvania. I haven’t had Mike on in a while and it’s always good to catch up with a fellow PA hunter. For those of you who don’t know Mike, he’s a killer. Whether it’s public or private Mike consistently finds and kills mature deer. One of my favorite things about Mike is his curiosity, and how his expectations are rooted in reality. Mike’s been killing deer since the 90’s. We talk about his style has evolved over the years from a rut hunter to now an approach this is more focused on following the changing components of the deer’s world in the fall to stay in the game vs. sitting a funnel. One thing that hasn’t changed is the notion that the only way to get good at killing mature bucks…is to kill deer in general. It takes reps and experience, and letting the arrow go is just the beginning. Hope you all dig the conversation - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my buddy Zach Ferenbaugh. We all know Zach as the passionate outdoorsman/whitetail hunter and ground tactician that has helped define The Hunting Public. I’ve learned a lot from watching and talking to Zach, the hunter. But his most important lesson he might share is how he’s managing being on the sidelines rehabbing a serious injury. Forced presence can provide fresh perspective. Zach (and The Hunting Public) are about the community, friends, and family. I think Zach said it best when he shared how this injury has help shape his perspective about hunting. He said “ I just miss being with my friends.” We sometimes forget what the important stuff is in the midst of the chase. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my buddy Dalton Lewis from The Stick Boys. Dalton hunts the Appalachia Mountains of North Carolina where he spends his time chasing gnarly old mountain warriors with a trad bow. Dalton is an old soul, and approaches hunting through the “old school” lens of woodsman-ship and is focused on the experience…not the inches. Forever the optimist, I don’t think you could ever have a conversation with Dalton and not feel energized about the opportunities in front of you.

Today I'm joined by my buddy Tim Carpenter. Tim is the owner and coach at Hellfisfish MMA. He’s been immersed in martial arts for nearly all of his life and is incredibly accomplished in every thing from Judo to BJJ and as a professional MMA fighter. If you’ve listened to this podcast for any length of time you likely know two things about me. My rekindled love of grappling/Jiu jitsu. And finding connection points among things that on the surface seem to not have much in common but share fundamental principals. I was surprised by how many folks who listen to the podcast are jiu jitsu practitioners. And BJJ and bow hunting whitetails is…well…not as different as some might think. There’s a lot of similarity between a killer in the whitetail woods and a killer on the jiu jitsu mats. The obvious is the dedication and passion to the craft. What is often overlooked is the elite performers in both are….experts in the fundamentals preferring substance over style.

It’s one of the many reasons I’m glad to be able to call him a friend. And why I’m glad he’s a voice of reason for the hunting space. Like always…we cover a lot of ground in today’s episode.

Today I'm joined by my buddy…the man with two first names, Travis Keith. It’s been two seasons since Travis has been on the show. His 2021 season had some unexpected twists and turns while 2022 tested his resolve. What I most appreciate about Travis (beyond the fact that he is a killer in the whitetail woods) is he leads with his faith, always. Does the right thing which ins’t always the easy thing. And at the end of the day, he still usually ends up with a filled tag or two. But most importantly he leaves each hunting season with a story, a lesson learned, and even with adversity…even deeper in his faith. Always and excellent and soul enriching conversation with Travis.

Today I'm joined by Travis Glassman. If you’ve been following this podcast you know that I’ve have a soft spot for ground hunting and the advantages you gain by being on the ground, especially in the plaines of Kansas. Travis is a Kansas native who is consistently filling his tag on mature whitetails from the ground using a combination of spot and stalk, ambush set ups, and maybe his favorite…decoying a ticked off dominant buck to 5 yards! If that’s not enough he’s usually capturing all of this on camera. I’m already pumped up to get back to the wide open plaines to do some crawling and brawling.

Today I'm joined by my buddy Cody D’Acuisto - it’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to catch up. Cody has made a habit of proving people wrong. He’s one of the best deer hunters you’ll find with inches to prove it. His strategies sometimes seem unorthodox initially…until he hangs Boone and Crocket deer on his wall…then everyone is all ears. He’s a trail blazer and what set’s him apart from other hunters is his mindset. Yes he’s a great strategist when it comes to locking and killing giant bucks. But he usually has to come up with something unconventional and outside the box to release that fatal arrow. And doing what hasn’t been proven before is where his mindset puts him over the top.

Not to be outdone in the fall and winter, he’s filling tags on mature public land bucks. Austin’s approach is very analytical…a lot of what he uses to find success on the water applies to the timber chasing mature bucks.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Jace Allen. Jace was on over the summer to talk about how he builds buck quadrants to kill mature bucks. During that episode he alluded to the idea of having a season like he’s never had before in 2022. He was determined to put life on hold (or maybe just slow it down) to chase his passion, prioritize the woods, whitetails, and hunt more days from season start to season end than ever before possible.

Today I'm joined by my good buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron is one of the most dedicate outdoorsman I know. Regardless of season, Aaron is almost always in the woods scouting, hiking, hunting, looking for his next experience. This year he had a goal of filling two specific tags. One being his first ever bull Elk tag. The other his PA buck tag on public lands...which is a challenge...and something he manages to do with consistency. If he were going to fill these two tags he'd have to dust himself off after a heartbreaker of one that got away. To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

Today I'm joined by my good buddy Jake Bush. Jake is known for his efficiency in killing giants in the early part of October. This year has thrown him a curveball with the areas he hunts being hit hard by EHD. He’s found most of his top target bucks dead…or has found out from others that they were found dead. He’s logged 750 miles this year boots on the ground trying to locate a target. You’ll find few people more dedicated than Jake…and I’d put money on him filling a tag before seasons end.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my good Buddy Jake Hofer. Jake is one of the guys who I’ve learned a lot from when it comes to using longer-term trail camera data to plan hunts. More specifically how I approach patterning scrapes is directly influenced by Jake’s approach (and love) for scrapes. Intimately learning when and how different scrapes are being used has helped me target specific dates related to a specific scape area. The past few years, I’ve picked a specific date I’ve seen active and not surprising, I had encounters with shooter bucks in both instances. Kinda crazy to pick one date in the entire whitetail calendar…and consistently have it produce. Hope you dig the conversation - thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Jacob Emery. Jacob’s from Kentucky and has a no nonsense refreshing approach to hunting. He broke a 3 year drought in style with two public land hammers…one in Kentucky and one In Indiana. Both relied on hunting hard to reach areas that required water access. Even still…the water access wasn’t a nice Sunday paddle. Most wouldn’t even go into to hunt these areas. As the work to get a deer out required transferring deer to boat, from boat to ground, move boat around log jam, drag buck back to boat…reload buck in boat…and continue paddling.

His consistency of taking a target buck and surgically removing him from the landscape is second to few.

More than that, what I appreciate most is his insatiable need to continue learning...and questioning every piece of sign or intel he sees. I think his approach to assume his assumptions are incorrect until proven otherwise is why he's so successful. He's never closed off from new possibilities...or afraid to be wrong.

Personally I hunt a lot of swampy/buggy areas...and am good for a handful of tick bites a year even if I spray down. Ticks are my least favorite part of spring or early fall hunting...or summer scouting. I'm personally always a little nervous about getting a tick related illness.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Troy Pottenger. As a reminder, Troy is hunting some of the hardest to kill whitetails in the mountains of Idaho. He's not the only predator in the mountains, where deer are more often hunting by mountain lions, wolves and Grizzly. Few mistakes can be made, and Troy has to really be dialed in. What's more, he usually is hunting a specific buck. Hard enough to accomplish in the best of circumstances. For Troy, shed hunting isn't just something to do to pass the time during winter and spring. It's a key puzzle piece to determine when and where he may kill his next wall hanger.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my good buddy Josh Ilderton from the Untamed. Aside from killing West Virginia public land mountain bucks from the ground, Josh is passionate about sharing hunting with anyone who’s interested in learning. This season, he had a front row seat as the bowhunting spark has officially ignited in his son. Sometimes our children (or those younger than us) teach us old dogs tricks we’ve forgotten…or remind us to not take experience for granted. Not to mention, Josh killed a great buck in late season - we talk about all of this. The conversation is always fun with Josh and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Corey McKinney. One of my favorite things about traveling is meeting other hunters, particularly the locals. I met Corey in an Iowa public land parking lot…and then again, appropriately, at Casey’s. We shared what intel we each had about the piece of public we were both hunting, swapped a few trail camera pictures, and have stayed in touch since.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron scouts more than most people I know, and it shows in the number of quality encounters he has. This year he had intel on a good buck, but it was in an area that sees a lot of pressure...even during archery season. Aaron was able to find where deer, and this buck in particular, wanted to spend time in daylight once the pressure moved them out of their early season hangouts. Not being deterred by the hunting pressure, and being smarter than the average hunter led to a killer hunt. I'll let Aaron tell the story. Hope you dig the episode - thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Troy Pottenger. I'm sure many of you are aware of Troy and his ability to chase down the oldest and biggest mountain bucks. The incredible part of his success is he's doing it in Idaho, a place not known for whitetails, and is competing against North America's apex predators for the same deer. Community scrapes, along with bedding, is a go-to-strategy he uses. But a community scrape isn't always in a place that's huntable based on access or wind. So Troy has created an approach to building not just mock scrapes, but mock community scrapes....and well...the results speak for themself. Hope you dig the episode and thanks for listening!

Brought to you by Skull Brew Coffee Co. Today we're rolling into another episode of the Hunting Beast Listener Q/A Series with Dan Infalt.

I'm super excited to announce the launch of the Truth From The Stand (TFTS) Deer Hunting Podcast! I've been looking forward to launching this project for a while and am pumped that I can finally share it with all of you. With that said, I wanted to quickly explain what a podcast is for those unfamiliar. Simply put, it is an online radio show that can be listened to on your computer and mobile devices, including your phone. The best thing about podcasts is you can subscribe to them through iTunes and other podcast providers. This way each new episode will automatically be loaded to the device of your choosing (computer, tablet or phone), so you'll never miss an episode. I personally subscribe to several podcasts, they're great to listen to during daily commutes, mowing the grass, shoveling snow, or killing time at work! So what's the Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast all about? As you can imagine...DEER HUNTING! I'll be joined by my good friend Phil Marchek who also suffers from whitetail addiction. And I'm sure you'll enjoy what he brings to the show. The content of the show will focus on all things deer and deer hunting. Every month we'll post a new podcast covering a wide range of topics focused on news, stories and hunting tips. Phil and I will also share our own experiences discussing our most recent whitetail related activities, successes, failures...and at times our embarrassments. We'll also plan to bring on guests...and who knows, we may have listeners join as a guest to share their own hunting stories and experiences! To listen to the podcast, press the orange play button on the bar located at the top of the page.

Most hunters dream of filling a tag on a great deer during the season, let alone two within the first 2 weeks of the season. Rick Kiely of New York did just that. Rick hunts a combination of small parcel and public land. This October he had the magic touch taking two great bucks while going against the grain and hunting mornings, and resisting the urge to hunt old familiar places. He broke out of his comfort zone and changed his game this summer seeking new stand locations and was rewarded. If the two bucks weren't enough, his instagram feed is full of videos of shooters he filmed on stand after tagging out! To listen to the podcast click the orange play button at the top of the page.
