Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

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. Matt was kind enough to join me to talk a newbie through a lot of the things I’ll need consider as I think of transition from a compound to trad bow. We of course talk some deer hunting too.

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. You won’t find a bigger cheering section for someone else success than him. One of my favorite conversations in recent memory…and hope you all dig it as much as I did - thanks for listening!

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. The world could use more Daltons - thanks for listening!

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. I hope you all dig this episode as much as I enjoyed t

Today I'm joined by my buddy Tony Peterson. It’s been a while since we had a chance to catch up. Tony always has an honest view of hunting, what it’s comprised of, how to get better, and it’s relationship to how our everyday life impacts hunting…or is impacted by hunting. 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 Brent Hits. Brent is a die-hard public land whitetail hunter from the state of Virginia. Finding success on mature deer is hard. Finding that success on public land, even harder. To find that success four consecutive years…well…that’s quite an achievement and exactly what Brent did from 2018-2021. Today we talk about his approach, how each hunt played out, and hunting Virginia public land in high pressured areas of the state. Hope you dig it - thanks for listening!

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. Killer session with Cody and hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my good buddy and road dog, Chad Sylvester. Chad and I usually spend a few weeks in the fall together however, this year our schedules and hunts didn’t line up. This time of year Chad and I like to air our the previous season and discuss the good, bad, and the ugly as a way to put a pin in the season, uncover what we would like to work on in the future…and begin looking forward to the 2023 hunting season. Chad also demo’d a new line of tactical hunting gear in Idaho…or maybe he just went primitive…tune in for the deets - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by Austin Culbertson. Austin is a die-hard outdoorsman from Missouri. By Spring and summer Austin is chasing big bass as a Major League Fishing Pro Angler. 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. He’s finding success in unexpected places…and the hunt from this year was…well… you’ll have to listen to hear it from the horses mouth.

Today I'm joined by Jeremy Aron of Do It Yourself Hunter. Jeremy is a successful entrepreneur who created a purpose built life to prioritize the right things at at the right times - with an eye on creating free time to chase his passion. He’s been chasing and filming his deer hunts…well before it was a cool thing to do. He has decades of experience finding and killing mature bucks in 21 different states (he’s hunted 22). Jeremy’s goal now is to help others gain the experience of travel hunting on a working man’s budget - and just to get out there and do it! Big bucks don’t have to cost big dollars. I hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Today I'm joined by my good buddy Greg Litzinger. As you guys know, Greg and I get together to chop it up about bowhunting a few times a year. We've both been separately tackling new big woods pieces for the past 2 years. Greg in NJ and me In PA. It usually will take 3 seasons to get a firm grasp on a new piece (if you're a regular working guy), especially with the challenges the big woods provide. That's what we talk about today. That, and how Greg's season played out...and some listener Q/A. - thanks for listening!

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. You might call this a dream season from many…but it wasn’t without it’s ups and downs. Oh…and he may have out dueled public land pressure to wrap a tag around at least one Boone & Crocket buck - thanks for listening!

They way we initially came to know each other was kinda interesting however, it didn’t take long to realize Tre was my kind of people. One of the things I appreciate most about Tre is his full appreciation for his outdoor adventures. Reveling in the blessings we have just enjoying wild places.
