    EP.453: Understanding Deer Behavior for Better Hunts | Justin Hollandsworth
    Aug 13 2025
    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.

    Aug 6 2025
    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. We dig into how mindset, resilience, and personal growth show up in the woods and in everyday life, and why focusing on the process—not just the outcome—can make you a better hunter and a better human. From deer seasons to big life seasons, this one's all about slowing down, staying present, and figuring out what really matters. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 452 Gratitude and a positive mindset help navigate hunting and life challenges. Ben Askren’s recovery and the power of mental resilience. Hunting teaches life lessons that extend beyond the woods. Managing expectations prevents burnout and disappointment. The journey holds more value than the final result. Accountability and long-term focus drive meaningful growth.

    EP.451: Primal Instincts | How To Get The Most Out Of Your Hunting Experience
    Jul 30 2025
    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.

  • EP.450: Simple Tactics, Big Results & Hunting Stupid | Jason Batson

    EP.450: Simple Tactics, Big Results & Hunting Stupid | Jason Batson
    Jul 23 2025
    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.
