Trust Your Setup: Stop Guessing and Start Executing Before the Season

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down a recent weekend behind the bow where the focus wasn’t on building or changing anything but simply verifying. From dialing in sight tapes and confirming long-range accuracy to seeing just how precise the Precision Cut Archery program really is, this episode is all about removing guesswork and building real confidence in your setup. Because at this point in the season, it’s not about chasing perfection it’s about confirming what’s already there.

I also dive into mistakes I’ve made in the past like over-adjusting and not verifying at distance and how those habits can quietly kill your confidence when it matters most. We talk about what it actually means to trust your setup, your process, and your execution, whether you’re preparing for TAC, ASA, or the whitetail woods. If you’ve ever questioned your gear or found yourself second-guessing a shot, this episode will help you simplify your approach, build confidence through confirmation, and step into the season ready to execute.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!

Built With Purpose: My ASA Target Bow vs TAC & Hunting Rig

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:00:00 +0000

On this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down my current bow setups and how I’ve built each one with a specific purpose in mind. With ASA season kicking off and TAC right around the corner, this is the time of year where everything starts to matter—your reps, your confidence, and the equipment in your hands. I dive into my ARC 34, which is my dedicated target and ASA rig, and why I’ve built it around stability, control, and repeatability when precision is the priority.

I also walk through my ARC 30 setup, which is my go-to for TAC and hunting—built for adaptability, real-world scenarios, and executing shots when things aren’t perfect. From tuning insights to arrow builds and the mental shift between tournament shooting and hunting situations, this episode is all about understanding the “why” behind each setup. If you’re looking to dial in your gear with intention and build confidence heading into the season, this one’s for you.

Woodsmanship In A World of Shortcuts w/ Jared Shaffer

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 09:00:00 +0000

On this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Jared Shaffer from Tethrd for a conversation that goes far beyond gear and mobile setups. This is a deep dive into woodsmanship — what it actually means in 2026, and why it still separates consistent killers from the rest of the crowd.

Jared and I unpack the difference between being aggressive and being reckless, especially in today’s mobile hunting culture. We talk about how to read sign with intention, when not to move, and why discipline often beats constant action. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing patience and pressure in the woods, this conversation hits home.

We also zoom out and dig into Jared’s personal hunting philosophy — how he plans a hunt, what guides his decisions, and the subtle habits that give him an edge season after season. From mid-season adjustments to handling doubt and slow stretches, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, not just your setup.

If March is about resetting, reflecting, and refining your approach before the next season begins, this episode sets the tone. Hunt smarter. Not louder.

Craftsmanship, Stewardship & Building Things the Right Way

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time.

On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet.

We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters.

This isn’t a product episode.
It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.

The Craft Behind the Shot | Daniel Parker (Mathews Archery)

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Craftsmanship isn’t loud.
It’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time.

On Episode 307 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Daniel Parker from Mathews Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond gear and specs. Daniel works on the front lines at Mathews, spending his days talking with hunters, dealers, and archers—hearing what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters once the season is over.

We dive into what separates a truly great brand from the rest: attention to detail, responsibility to the hunter, and the discipline to protect core values in an industry that’s constantly evolving. Daniel shares insights from inside Mathews, how real-world hunting feedback shapes the conversations he has every day, and why craftsmanship still matters when trends come and go.

We also talk about the things hunters tend to overthink—and the things they don’t think enough about—when it comes to practice, consistency, and execution under pressure. From lessons learned in the field to patterns Daniel hears season after season, this episode is about understanding the why behind the gear, not just the gear itself.

This isn’t a product episode.
It’s a conversation about mindset, responsibility, and doing things the right way—whether you’re building bows, chasing deer, or sharpening your shot process.

If you care about becoming a better hunter, a better archer, and doing things with intention, Episode 307 is for you.

Built to Hunt: Preparing the Mind and Body That Carries You There

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Episode 306 of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with Dr. Nick Bechtold of MTNTOUGH and Movement Physio for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be prepared as a hunter. This episode goes beyond workouts and routines, diving into the role physical readiness plays in mental resilience, confidence, and performance when it matters most.

Drawing from his experience training hunters, military personnel, and first responders—as well as his hands-on work in physical therapy—Dr. Bechtold breaks down why consistent, intentional training is essential for longevity in the field. Together, Jeremy and Nick explore how physical preparedness sharpens decision-making under fatigue, builds mental toughness, and helps hunters show up capable rather than merely hopeful. Listeners will walk away with practical guidance on integrating smart, sustainable training into busy lives, along with a renewed perspective on preparation, mindset, and accountability. Whether you’re chasing whitetails close to home or pushing deep into the mountains, this episode will challenge you to elevate both your body and your approach to the hunt.

One Shot Doesn’t Define You: Mental Resilience in Archery & Hunting

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Episode 303 of the Antler Up Podcast features a conversation with Nate Sellers of Average Jack Archery, diving into the lessons learned through seasons of hunting, consistent archery practice, and mental resilience. Together, we unpack how indoor archery leagues and regular reps play a major role in outdoor success, and why practice matters more than perfect conditions. Nate shares insights on understanding deer behavior, managing stress in high-pressure moments, and the importance of quickly recovering from bad shots—because one mistake doesn’t have to define a hunt or a season.

We also discuss the value of the archery community and competition, from welcoming local leagues to the role they play in building confidence, skills, and long-term improvement. Nate explains how getting out of your comfort zone, engaging with others, and focusing on action over overanalyzing gear can transform both your shooting and your mindset. This episode is a reminder that growth comes from consistency, reflection, and embracing failure as part of the process—making Episode 303 a must-listen for bowhunters and archers looking to sharpen their mental game and continue getting better year after year.

Showing Up: Leadership, Fatherhood, and the Hunt

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Episode 302 of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Troy Smith — a husband, father, teacher, and coach who understands what real leadership looks like both in and out of the woods. Troy and I go back to our days coaching varsity baseball against each other, and this conversation goes well beyond hunting. We dive into leadership through coaching and teaching, the responsibility of setting standards for young athletes, and how those same principles carry over into family life and the outdoors.

We also talk about raising kids in the outdoors, the discipline that comes from fitness and consistency, and what it means to define success in this season of life. Troy shares how hunting has helped shape his approach as a father and mentor, and why bringing his family into the woods has become such an important part of who he is. This episode is honest, grounded, and full of takeaways for anyone trying to balance family, work, and personal growth while still chasing what matters.

Reflecting & Motivation

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week, Jeremy sits down for a reflective and honest solo episode to close out the 2024 season and open the door to what’s coming in 2025. He talks about learning patience, becoming more of a weekend warrior as family priorities shift, and why this season — despite fewer big-buck encounters — helped him grow more than he expected.

Jeremy shares the full story of his rut encounter, the missed shot that ignited a 2018-level fire inside him, and the second-day rifle tradition with his buddy Jim that reminded him why hunting is so much more than antlers and grip-and-grins.

He also opens up about areas he wants to improve, how he plans to attack the offseason, and what listeners can expect from the completely revamped Antler Up Podcast starting in January.

This is a raw, grounded, and motivating look at the season — and a preview of what’s ahead.

Opening Weekend at AU Deer Camp

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Episode 300 couldn’t have been recorded anywhere else but AU Deer Camp, surrounded by the people who’ve shaped this journey. In this milestone episode, Jeremy sits down with Josh Hobson, Tim Sisock, and Jim D’Agostino—and for the first time, brings Josh’s boys, Bryce and Reid, into the conversation. It’s Saturday night of Pennsylvania’s opening weekend of rifle season, and camp is buzzing: Reid tagged a buck, Jim filled a doe tag, and everyone’s riding the high, retelling how the day unfolded. From chaotic morning mishaps (including rappel-downs, stuck haul ropes, and lost energy drinks) to the thrill of deer moving through frosty timber, the crew shares an unfiltered breakdown of Day 1 at camp and the year of hunting that led to this weekend.

This episode goes deep into what makes deer camp special: the stories from past seasons, the growth each guy experienced this year, and the evolving traditions that now include the next generation. Jeremy, Tim, Josh, and Jim reflect on weird deer patterns, odd rut timing, tough lessons, missed opportunities, hard-earned successes, and how life, work, and family shaped their time in the woods. The kids bring fresh energy—talking bowhunting, rifle excitement, their favorite moments, and the pure, electric adrenaline of watching deer walk in. With laughs, self-deprecation, heartfelt gratitude, gear talk, future plans, and the undeniable magic of a camp full of hunters, Episode 300 captures exactly what Antler Up has always been about: family, friendship, growth, hunting stories, and digging deeper into why we love being out there together.

November Throwback: Aaron Hepler, Finished Hunting..Now What?

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week we’re rolling out another Flashback Episode, just like last week — and this one goes back to Episode 149, originally released on November 30, 2022. In this conversation, Jeremy sits down with good friend and longtime contributor Aaron Hepler to answer a question every hunter eventually faces: “The season’s over… now what?” Aaron breaks down why the weeks immediately after the season can be some of the most valuable for evaluating your year, tightening up your systems, and planning how to become a better whitetail hunter moving forward. From gear organization to reviewing trail-cam data to the mental side of closing the chapter on a long season, this episode gives you a roadmap to make the most of the offseason instead of drifting through it.

Jeremy and Aaron also dig into honest reflections from their own seasons — what worked, what didn’t, and how those lessons shape their approach for the following year. Whether you're coming off a high or wrestling with frustration, this episode will help you reset your mindset, take control of your preparation, and set yourself up for future success. If you want practical steps, thoughtful discussion, and a push to stay intentional long after the final sit, this Flashback Episode is absolutely worth revisiting.

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy kicks things off with a quick update and an important announcement. Episode 300 is right around the corner, and to celebrate the milestone the right way, Jeremy will be recording it straight from deer camp during Thanksgiving weekend alongside his closest friends. That means the next two Wednesdays will feature some of the best re-run episodes from the Antler Up archive to keep the momentum rolling while we gear up for the big celebration.

Today, we’re bringing back Episode 146 with Pennsylvania hunter Curt DeLattre, one of the strongest rut-focused conversations we’ve ever had on the show. In this episode, Curt breaks down how he reads rut sign, how he decides when to strike, and the mindset it takes to stay centered during one of the most unpredictable times of the deer season. Jeremy also shares a quick recap of his recent hunts before diving into this listener-favorite conversation. Whether you’re grinding out November sits or getting ready for the post-Thanksgiving push, this is one worth reliving. Antler Up!

Is the Rut Even Real?

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Episode 299 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy recaps a tough rut weekend in Pennsylvania with little daylight buck activity despite long all‑day sits. He shares the ups and downs of Saturday’s move into thicker cover, Sunday’s rain‑shortened hunt, and the frustration of seeing shooter bucks only on camera at night. Alongside these stories, Jeremy lays out practical rut strategies for the week of November 10–16, emphasizing patience, midday sits, and smart adjustments to weather and trail camera intel. Listeners also hear a shoutout to Jim for filling his New York archery tag, a preview of his upcoming gun opener, and coverage of the new bow releases from Mathews, Hoyt, and Prime, plus timely Pennsylvania hunting updates.

To round out the episode, Jeremy throws in an older conversation with Andy May from Episode 231, “Get Better & Keep it Simple.” In that discussion, Andy shares how hunters often overcomplicate their approach and why simplifying gear, trusting experience, and focusing on continuous learning can lead to greater success. He emphasizes that challenges and encounters often outweigh the size of bucks harvested, and that keeping things simple helps hunters stay efficient and confident in the field. Pairing Jeremy’s current rut grind with Andy’s timeless advice makes this episode a blend of real‑time hunting reflection and evergreen wisdom for whitetail hunters.

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week on episode 298 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy dives into a solo episode packed with reflection, mindset, and practical lessons for this critical stretch of the deer season. After a few tough sits with slow deer movement and missed opportunities, Jeremy shares what he’s learning in real time — the importance of patience, resisting the urge to be “too mobile,” and trusting your gut when things don’t seem to break your way. He explores the concept of a growth mindset during the rut, focusing on how to stay positive and adaptable when hunts get tough, and how to let each sit teach you something that moves you forward.

To round out the episode, Jeremy brings back powerful clips from one of his favorite past conversations — Episode 196 with Beau Martonik — where Beau laid down timeless insights on rut hunting. From playing terrain correctly and trusting your area, to relying on experience instead of overanalyzing trail camera data, these snippets are packed with lessons that hit especially hard this time of year. Whether you’re in the thick of your rut grind or waiting for your next opportunity, this episode will reset your perspective and keep you grounded as the best hunting days of the season unfold.

Trusting the Process & Avoiding the Mid-Season Traps

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Jeremy Dinsmore checks in from the Pennsylvania woods to share some hard-earned lessons from a slow October weekend. He breaks down what it means to fall into the “too-mobile” trap—moving too much, too soon—and how giving good ground time to develop can make all the difference. Jeremy also dives into the mental side of the season: how trail cameras can become both a blessing and a curse, why chasing other hunters’ success only hurts your focus, and how patience, gut instinct, and historical intel are what truly kill big deer.

Drawing on research and insights from MeatEater, Deer & Deer Hunting, and North American Whitetail, Jeremy unpacks why patience still wins in the whitetail woods. From recognizing when to stay put to trusting your own property’s rhythm, this one’s packed with perspective for any hunter grinding through October. The best days are ahead—so slow down, hunt smart, and trust your process.

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Jeremy Dinsmore checks in from the heart of Pennsylvania’s October woods to share where his 2025 season stands so far. From early-season encounters to the sting of a neighbor tagging the mature buck he’d been watching all summer, Jeremy breaks down the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way. He unpacks how shifting food sources, scrape activity, and cold fronts are changing deer movement and what that means for his next moves as the pre-rut kicks in.

Jeremy also revisits some of his favorite past Antler Up conversations from hunters like Steve Sherk Jr., Brandon Barlow, Rich Yoder, and Beau Martonik—using their October insights on patience, pressure, and adaptability to frame his own mid-season mindset. He wraps up with a look ahead at his plans for late-October in PA, rut hunts at camp, and his upcoming Ohio trip before rifle season. Whether you’re grinding through the lull or gearing up for the rut, this episode delivers real-time perspective from the middle of the season.

From fine-tuning strategy and gear to understanding deer behavior, we break down what makes the early season so special and how preparation sets the tone for success.

We also reflect on the friendships, memories, and moments that make deer camp such an important tradition. Hunting is about the chase, the camaraderie, and celebrating both big and small victories in the woods.

Matt Ross from the National Deer Association

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 8 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Matt Ross from the National Deer Association, who brings nearly two decades of experience studying deer behavior, habitat, and management. Matt shares fascinating insights on how deer use multiple bedding areas throughout the season, how feeding habits and environmental factors influence their movement, and why understanding a deer’s “personality” can give hunters an edge. We also dive into the role hunting pressure plays on deer behavior, and how quickly they adapt and return to patterns once the pressure subsides.

With advances in technology like GPS collars, researchers now have a clearer picture of how deer truly move across the landscape — knowledge that can directly improve a hunter’s approach in the field. Matt and I also touch on the importance of public land initiatives for habitat improvement, why adaptability is key when hunting pressured deer, and how wind and thermals remain critical factors in success. Whether it’s taking calculated risks, shifting strategies, or simply learning more about deer as individuals, this episode is packed with takeaways to help you sharpen your approach this season.

It’s that time of year again — the annual PA hunting season kickoff episode with my good friend Steve Sherk Jr. on the Antler Up Podcast. Steve shares his excitement for the upcoming season while giving us a boots-on-the-ground look at the current state of food sources across Pennsylvania. With drought conditions shaping the landscape, the outlook for acorns is promising, and Steve breaks down how that might influence deer movement patterns early on. We also dive into the importance of bedding areas for setting up early-season hunts and why paying attention to the **three C’s—cover, cold fronts, and cameras—**is critical for success this fall.

Along with strategy, Steve and I talk about the reality of balancing family commitments with time in the woods and how that changes the way we plan our hunts. We cover how Sunday hunting could add more pressure to deer this year, and why trail cameras and historical data remain invaluable tools for understanding movement patterns over time. This episode is loaded with practical insights and grounded advice to help you start the Pennsylvania season with the right mindset and energy. Whether you’re chasing your first buck or refining your approach, Steve brings the knowledge to get you dialed in for opening day.

Bonus Episode: Antler Up Sessions #4

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

This episode is a continuation of the Antler Up Sessions, featuring Nine Finger Chronicles host Dan and Jeremy as they dive into the nitty-gritty of late-summer hunting preparation and gear strategy.

This conversational episode focuses on the practical steps and gear choices necessary to put antlers on the ground before the season heats up.

Dan kicks off the discussion by sharing his initial steps for the year, detailing his trail camera setup on one key property and the ongoing quest for a specific, mature target buck. The conversation quickly transitions into a dedicated gear talk, comparing different mobile hunting setups. Dan and Jeremy weigh the balance between all-day comfort offered by traditional stands and the aggressive mobility required for strategic rut hunting with saddles and lightweight stands.

They conclude that successful hunting requires a tool belt full of options: utilizing comfortable, established stands in high-traffic funnels, while reserving lighter, more mobile systems for crucial micro-adjustments based on real-time deer behavior. This discussion offers valuable insights for any hunter deciding how to best invest in their mobile setup for the upcoming season.

In episode 4 of the Inside the NDA on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Kip Adams of the National Deer Association for an important conversation on some of the biggest issues facing Pennsylvania hunters today. We cover the growing challenge of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and why testing, awareness, and smart prevention efforts are so critical for protecting our herds. Kip explains why CWD is such a serious threat—100% fatal to deer—and outlines how hunters, wildlife agencies, and the NDA are working together to manage and slow its spread.

We also dive into opportunities and responsibilities for hunters, from the new Sunday hunting opportunities in Pennsylvania to the importance of increasing the harvest of antlerless deer for better herd balance. Kip highlights how habitat management, collaboration, and community engagement play a vital role in keeping deer populations healthy for the future. Whether it’s understanding the risks of moving high-risk deer parts, improving local habitat, or simply getting involved with NDA programs, this episode gives hunters the tools and knowledge to make a real impact.

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Justin Synan for a special conversation that was also featured over on his show, the Run’n and Gun’n Podcast. Anytime Justin and I sit down, it’s less of an interview and more of a catch-up between friends, and this one is no different.

From the role family plays in keeping us grounded, to the mindset shifts that help us enjoy hunting beyond just the outcome, this is a conversation that blends real talk with our shared passion for the outdoors.

We also get into the practical side of prepping for the season—everything from scouting and reading deer patterns to being physically and mentally ready when the moment comes. Justin and I talk about learning from past hunts, what we’re focused on heading into this year, and why community and friendships are such an important piece of the hunting lifestyle.

From the woods to daily routines, he shares how intrinsic motivation, consistency, and surrounding yourself with the right influences can completely shift your trajectory.

We dive into the importance of embracing failure, building confidence through small wins, and how dreaming big opens the door to unlimited possibilities. Weston offers insight on how to block out external noise, stay committed to the process, and why personal growth always trumps comparison. If you’re someone who seeks more than just tags and trophies—if you're after purpose, grit, and becoming the best version of yourself—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Breaking it Down w/ Aaron Hepler

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 203 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by my good friend Aaron Hepler from PA. Aaron had an eventful 2023 hunting season that had a ton of ups and downs in it. From having a bunch of encounters with bucks, clipping a buck, to being at full draw and having another hunter walk in to spook the deer while at full draw and to finally filling his buck tag opening morning of the rifle season. Aaron shares it all during this episode!

We led things off by talking about what Aaron would rate this past season. Aaron shares how much pressure he saw and what he believes it did to the deer in the spots he hunted. From there we get into the obstacles he faced and we actually discuss a little bit about my success this year. One key topic that I enjoyed talking with Aaron about was finding balance during the season. I think this is a critical aspect that might not be shared as much as it should. Again, we get into these topics and a whole lot more in this episode! Stay safe in the woods and enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Mind Over Matter w/ Mark Belles

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 201 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native Mark Belles. Mark is an avid hunter who loves whitetail and getting out for bear during the season. Mark had a very quick season this year as far as whitetails are concerned. By quick, I mean tagging out on his buck on the statewide opener back in September. Mark is a friend of Tom Runscavage, who is a great friend of mine. It was great to have the opportunity to speak with Mark and hear certain perspectives on deer and bear hunting and how important mindset plays a role in what we do in the woods.

This episode was originally going to be an episode for the Antler Up Report, however I decided to make this just a regular episode. We led things off by talking about mindset and how important it is when it comes to hunting. Over the past few seasons Mark has been pretty successful and he shares what he believes what has led to this success. One key aspect that Mark brings up is exploring and just being in the woods. I couldn’t agree more with this and I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but it also means putting in quality time and not just shooting for miles and overall time. Following this we dive into Mark’s buck success story and a few other topics to finish out this episode! Stay safe in the woods this upcoming rifle season here in PA! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 200 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native and straight up awesome hunter Chad Snader. I am thrilled to finally have Chad on the podcast! This is literally like 3 years in the making. A few years back I was trying to possibly do the mid-season episodes, and asked Chad to come on. Plans fell through, but we have kept tabs on each other and over these 3 seasons or so I have watched Chad knock buck after buck down, turkey after turkey and this year he had one helluva week in October. So, we discussed his success from this specific week where he notched his PA bear tag, fall turkey tag and buck tag!

Chad and I have a good conversation during this hour where we get an introduction to who he is, what has helped Chad become more consistent with his success over the years and more. I found Chad to be extremely relatable and I believe you will as well. Just another great hunter from the state of PA that puts in the work and enjoys himself out in the outdoors. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family. Stay safe in the woods this upcoming rifle season here in PA! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Lessons Learned w/ Jon Landwehr

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode I was joined by Mr. Kansas Jon Landwehr! Jon resides in Kansas where over the last three years he has killed TWO 200+ deer and one 170+! This year Jon, Tyler Wilbur and Angelo Giannoi are going to be traveling all over the country filming their hunts for their brand Legacy Pursuit. We get to hear what Jon has planned and all the stories, lessons and strategies Jon used killing his 3 giant KS bucks!!

We begin this episode by getting an introduction to Jon and hear how he learned the ins and outs to hunting Kansas from a very young age. From Jon’s description of where he hunts, it is completely different from what I grew up hunting and hunting to this day. So hearing his style and the strategy for how he hunts these giant whitetails was something I had to hear. Following this up, we get into breaking down the stories, and the main takeaways for killing his past three bucks. Two of them shared a similar story in that they were taken early, compared to the one last year Jon had to really grind the year out to finally catch up to him. In between these stories we hear Jon talk about the buck that he and his son were after and what ultimately led to him not getting a chance at this public land buck. We wrap things up hearing about Jon’s upcoming plans and what is in store for Legacy Pursuit…..So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Jon!

Archery, Elk, & Tinker w/Jeff Cordero

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode I was joined by Jeff Cordero! You may have seen Jeff on YouTube where he makes some really great content regarding archery and hunting but you may also have seen him working in the pit on the racetrack for the 24 car on the weekends. Jeff and I had a really fun conversation about life, archery, hunting and more!

We begin this episode by getting an introduction to Jeff and hear how he is in the position he is with his job in the Nascar world. This was a unique and refreshing conversation, which I am thrilled Jeff shared with us. Following this up, we get into when Jeff picked up a bow and started hunting. You can hear the passion and love he has for heading out west hunting elk, but also how much he enjoys hunting whitetails in North Carolina. This past year Jeff was the 1st Phorm athlete winner of their outdoor challenge they held where he competed in archery and fitness activities and won $10,000! We get caught up about that event, TAC events and where he will be hunting this upcoming year. With his job schedule Jeff has some hard dates to go in and out of the field. So, hearing how he plans these trips and prepares was awesome! We wrap things up hearing the importance of learning to work on your own bow equipment or at the minimum learn to tie in a d-loop, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I believe you will as well! Jeff is a good dude, who loves archery and hunting. We seem to have a lot in common…..So, tune in and listen to some stories and a fun conversation with Jeff! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 9 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 185 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by a good friend of mine, Bryant Lyon from America’s Best Bowstrings. I have known Bryant the last four years and we have a ton in common outside of the hunting world. It was great catching up with him and also picking his brain on what is happening at ABB/Helix and how he is preparing for this upcoming hunting season. Bryant mainly hunts Ohio and has the opportunity to hunt some great land that starting right now he will begin to keep tabs on for this year. In this episode we dive into various topics covering glassing, handling the moment, overcoming the buck drought, what you should be doing now with your bowstrings and getting your broadheads tuned.

We get an introduction to Bryant and you will hear the two of us catch up about life, fitness and what we currently are doing right now preparing for this upcoming season. Bryant shares how ABB is extremely busy right now and some new items they released to help us bowhunters. To go along with the chat, Bryant shares some key technical attributes that ABB offers with their strings that I believe is overlooked when it comes to great arrow flight. So, tune in and listen to some whitetail stories and a fun conversation with Bryant! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Dialing it in w/ Josh Kirchner

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 2 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 184 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by a good friend of mine Josh Kirchner. Josh, known as the Dialed in Hunter on his social media accounts, has made a name for himself in the hunting world over the last decade with his hard work and determination. Josh was a guest on the podcast all the way back on episode 11! It is awesome to have him on again and catch up with the record button hit. Within this episode we get into a fun conversation that will not only apply to western hunters getting ready to leave to hopefully fill a tag in the short couple weeks, but also whitetail hunters. Some key topics we discussed in this podcast are how the goal to be more consistent started his Dialed in Hunter endeavor, his insanely successful 2022 season, going beyond e-scouting, planning on what, where and when to hunt specific states and thinking outside the box on a bow hunt.

We get an introduction to Josh and how his love for the outdoors really came about. Moving from NY and hunting AZ with his father. From here we get into starting his writing career and how getting into this specific space is a difficult one. From there we dove into some great stories from this past season where Josh was extremely successful. It seemed like no matter where Josh was hunting or what animal it didn’t take long from him to notch his tag. Then we get into what Josh does to go beyond just looking at the map and how he leveled up his game when it comes to e-scouting. Following this discussion we get into an article that Josh wrote for GoHunt and how no matter what species you are hunting or where you are located you will get something out of this topic, I promise.

Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 183 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by the big guy Chris Weist! Chris is located in South Central PA, and had a crazy year last year connecting on 4 bucks in 3 different states! When I listened to Chris on other podcasts I knew I needed to get him on the show to discuss some whitetail stuff. This episode wraps up the mini series I did for the month of July, in what our guests are doing now to lead up to the season. Chris was able to get ahead in the game so to speak, so it was interesting to hear how he tackles scouting multiple states for the quest to continue his whitetail success for this upcoming season.

We get an introduction to Chris and how his postseason panned out for him. From turkey hunting & scouting in MD, gaining access to a new property in WV, scouting his camp in OH and continuing widening the net here in PA, we hear Chris get into his plans and more. One of the areas that Chris is focusing heavily on is improving his trad bow skills, because this year he is all in on this style of hunting. So, when it comes to the mental preparation and technique stuff Chris walks us through his training scenarios. Following this discussion, we get into the good stuff. We hear how he is fine tuning, connecting the dots, wind mapping in older and new areas. Setting his expectations for summer cameras, how he strategizes specific scrapes and what he is specifically looking for in scrapes. If you are a continued listener to the podcast you know I love this stuff. We hear stories from specific hunts and a whole lot more from Chris during this episode!

Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 182 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by First Lite’s Whitetail Category Manager Gregg Farrell. This is Gregg’s fourth time being a guest on the show, and with each appearance, I continue to learn every time he is on. Gregg lives, breathes and sleeps all things whitetail. I don’t know about you, but right now in the middle of July I am ready to be in full swing season mode. Gregg and I kick things off in this episode catching up a little bit. Following that we dive right into what Gregg is doing and what he shares I believe is such a great perspective on how things have evolved for him when it comes to preparing for the whitetail season! So for this podcast episode we get Gregg’s preseason whitetail checklist covering what he is doing right now and the rest of the time leading up to the start of his whitetail season.

When it comes to planning for the whitetail season, Gregg shares his upcoming plans for how he plans out his hunts. Obviously being the First Lite Whitetail Category Manager has a huge role in this, Gregg still gets a lot of time to hunt his property in WI. Following this discussion we dive into what the months of July and August look like. From prioritizing non-hunting items, developing game plans by e-scouting and being able to get boots on the ground. Gregg makes sure by the time the season rolls around that all his gear is dialed in and ready to go. Then when the season kicks off, he uses historical data and reads current sign to make a move. A really fun chat with a good friend and again someone who just LOVES hunting whitetails. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 180 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Tethrd’s own Greg Godfrey!! Over the last 6+ years of diving down the YouTube rabbit hole of hunting videos, there was one that I personally followed because of some great DIY videos. The individual that was putting out these great videos was none other than Greg Godfrey on his G2 outdoors channel. From spray painting your sticks to building the ultimate truck camping experience Greg had a video for it. Greg is also the Co-Ownder of Tethrd. I have spent a good deal of time with Greg and have learned a lot and continue to learn from him. This episode we get into some really great information when it comes to preparing for your season RIGHT NOW! So, if you are gearing up for your out of state trip currently you will want to listen in to hear the good, the bad and ugly from Greg!

Kicking this episode off, Greg shares how effort really plays a role in his everyday life. I asked him an unorthodox first question and I couldn’t agree more with his answer and I believe a lot of you will relate to it. From here we get into the real good stuff about planning right now for the upcoming season. What this looks like and how you can avoid making some simple mistakes before you leave and while on your hunt. We discussed some hunting stories and how it is not always about the kill on the hunt, but rather the individuals you share camp with that make the trip. We get into tactics when you are on these trips that will help you be ready for the opportunity and we wrap up the last few minutes of this episode with sharing the new products that Tethrd just released like the LockDown saddle, Fold & Go and the Scorpion. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Unorthodox Whitetail Strategies w/ Jake Vernon

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 5 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 180 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Jake Vernon!! Jake resides in PA, but had a really unique upbringing when it came to hunting. Growing up Jake traveled a lot to Kentucky to hunt whitetail, then had the opportunity to live in Montana. This is where Jake seemed to really sharpen his skills as a whitetail hunter. In this specific episode Jake and I cover a variety of topics and stories. To go along with this episode, please head over to our website www.antlerupoutdoors.com and on our In the Field page, Jake has an article written for you all. So, listen to today’s episode and head over there to read his piece.

Kicking this episode off, Jake introduces his interesting upbringing when it came to whitetail hunting. This was a story unlike any that I have heard so far. I really enjoyed Jake sharing his story and then talking about his experience getting his son into the outdoors and particularly archery. Following this discussion Jake shares some stories about the time he lived in Montana and the tactics they used to hunt whitetail and how these strategies have evolved for him over the years. Jake and I shared a similar story when we hit our early 20’s in that we got back into bowhunting. From there Jake discusses how the last few years he has been successful in an unorthodox way. When listening to Jake you just hear how much he just loves hunting whitetail and isn’t afraid to be different. For example, Jake does not spend a ton of time scouting during the “post-season” time frame, but rather uses the rifle season to hunt but scout for next year's bow season as well. Throwing this strategy on top of his preferred method of archery, Jake just simply grinds to be the best hunter and archer he can be. We wrap things up discussing goals, build upon your experience in the woods and upcoming plans for this year. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Best Season to Date w/ Mike Lindahl

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 178 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Mike Lindahl from Domain Outdoor. Mike was on the podcast two springs ago talking about how to improve your land and his company Domain Outdoor. However, this episode Mike and I had an enjoyable conversation where we were able to just catch up! Last time we saw each other was at the 2022 ATA show and throughout the year we always keep tabs on what each other is up to. So, we decided to catch up over a podcast for you all to enjoy!

Kicking this episode off, Mike lets us know what is happening with work and how much Domain is growing. One aspect that really caught my attention in this discussion is how individuals over the last few years have turned their land habitat management into a year round process. This is obviously great for Mike and Domain, but I love to hear how much he and his crew are still able to help individuals out with creating the best property they can. From here I know Mike is a big golfer so we quickly share some golf stories and then discuss his best season to date! Mike killed his biggest whitetail this past season with some great friends in Kentucky and a great buck in Wisconsin with his family. Hearing the traditions he has with his friends and family in Wisconsin reminds me of what a lot of us hunters have here in PA. Mike also shares his excitement for the Alaska caribou hunt that is on the horizon for this upcoming season! I really enjoyed this episode and having the opportunity to catch up with Mike! . Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Don’t Leave it to Chance w/ Tyler Wilbur

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 177 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native Tyler Wilbur. Tyler and I had a fun conversation about a variety of whitetail topics. These topics included his success this past year, how that will help him for this upcoming season, learning from Steve Sherk and how his scouting is evolving. We cover some more topics that I believe will fire you up for this whitetail season! The main topic of this episode is don’t leave anything to chance. Get out there and scout, prepare by shooting your bow, go over past intel and be ready for when that moment comes!

Kicking this episode off, Tyler introduces himself and what is currently in the works for him. It was great to get a chance to hear Tyler’s story from learning from his father and now getting a chance to learn from Steve Sherk to hunt the big mountain bucks here in PA. We get into what specifically Tyler is looking for when scouting and hunting. We get into the importance of looking into the smaller details to set yourself up for success. This past season was also a rollercoaster type season for Tyler in that he was after a real good mature buck and had his chance but ultimately missed his opportunity. We chatted about how he didn’t let this back luck shot tear him down and instead come back from that and kill another great buck. We get into a heck of a lot more in this episode and hope you enjoy this one! I appreciate Tyler for coming on and having this conversation with me. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 7 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 176 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Chad Sylvester of Exodus Outdoor Gear. This was a great conversation with Chad and one that I haven’t had on the podcast before. This isn’t like the last time Chad was on where we dove deep into whitetail strategy. This time around we dive deep into life and how we can be better individuals.

Kicking this episode off, Chad talks about his upbringing and the life experiences he went through by working on his family farm at a young age. We went from this experience, spending time with his grandfather a lot, who helped mold Chad for who he is today. I think a lot of us will share similar stories like Chad. Then we get into the older years when Chad was going through his college recruitment for football and playing at the next level. This opportunity was unique for Chad because he was able to learn and grow from this and you will hear why and how. We also get into building mental toughness, being “present” with our families and taking our health seriously. Again, something totally different than what I have put out on the podcast before and I learned a lot from Chad over the years and he is a successful businessman and great friend. I appreciate Chad for coming on and having this conversation with me. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 31 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 175 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Penn State Adjunct Professor of Wildlife Ecology Leader, PA Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit Dr. Duane Diefenbach. This was a great conversation with Duane about some of his findings on the Deer-Forest Study related to deer movement. We get into a variety of other topics associated with his findings over the years researching whitetails.

Kicking this episode off, Duane discusses where the study is currently at and where it is heading. This study originated 10 years ago and has a few more until they are finished with it. It was interesting to hear Duane share how it has evolved over the years with technology that has helped them a ton with their findings and understandings. Duane answers listener questions and elaborates on some myths whitetail hunters either swear by or not. Duane dives into some of the major factors that cause deer movement and the burning question of where deer go when the pressure rises. So tune in to hear what Duane and his team have found over the last decade in the Deer-Forest Study and what Duane has observed since the early 2000’s researching whitetails.

Whitetail, It’s the Little Things

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 174 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native and the 2022 Bowhunting League PA Big Buck winner Taylor Fleischer. In this specific episode Taylor shares some of the little things that have helped him be successful the last few years, but specifically last year on the buck he was after for the last 3 years. Taylor shares the little things that can be overlooked by hunters and how to improve on what you’re already doing.

Kicking this episode off we dive into Taylors hunting roots from when he was a young teenager. This was a great kickoff discussion because at a young age Taylor got the bowhunting bug and from there has worked endlessly to continue his pursuit to perfection. This aspect I believe most hunters want to accomplish and achieve but know the process is a long fun and frustrating journey. We discussed how some hunting experiences shaped who he is as a hunter now. The lessons learned from his past season Pope & Young buck that he plans to build upon. Then we get into the nitty-gritty of the little things that have helped Taylor the last few seasons. From his organization of trail cam photos, reading/understanding deer movement and behavior. We wrap up our discussion talking about how he manages his property in central PA and the challenges he faces with hunting it and hunting where he currently resides.

Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Become a More Efficient Hunter w/ Aaron Hepler

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 17 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 173 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by my good friend Aaron Hepler. Aaron has been on the podcast a few different times already but the topics on today’s episode we haven’t really explored. What we wanted to accomplish in this week's episode was to discuss how we can become more efficient hunters this upcoming year. I think we honestly just scratched the surface and will be completing another episode or episodes to build on this. This is a really easy podcast to listen to and some of my favorites to complete when a good friend is on and we just chat hunting.

Kicking this episode off we dive into my turkey success stories. We discussed how taking what I’ve learned in the turkey woods this spring can help me out come fall for whitetail. Following that we get into what we can do to become a more efficient hunter. From trail cameras, prepping your gear now, shooting your bow and a heck of a lot more. One aspect that we touched upon was scouting and how important it is to have confidence in yourself completing your scouting missions. From speed scouting, creating predetermined tracks on your map, to what sign to look for when setting your cameras for specific times of the year, Aaron covers it in this episode. We end on two different topics being which cameras we have had the most luck with and how persistence has helped us in the woods. Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Hunting the Unexpected with Travis Melochick

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 10 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 172 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by fellow Pennsylvania native Travis Melochick. Travis and I grew up in the same area in NEPA. Travis runs the Anthracite Antler Addict content page. Take it from the name, Travis cut his teeth growing up chasing bucks in the mountains of the coal region. No easy task, but Travis continues to put in the work and reps the rewards. One aspect that Travis and I both believe in when it comes to hunting is the non-stop passion for learning, growing and developing as a hunter. I think you all will enjoy this week's episode because Travis and I cover a few different topics relating to the whitetail woods.

Kicking this episode off we get an introduction on how Travis began tackling the tough terrain of the coal region. Then we transition to stories and lessons learned from this past hunting season. We discussed what Travis keys in on during his scouting missions, how he specifically prioritizes the pieces he plans to hunt. Loved this specific discussion. Then we get into scrape talk, deer calling, scouting for future hunts, hunting in specific elevations and of course some trail cam talk. I believe you will take a lot away from this episode and I look forward to spending some time with Travis this summer when scouting! Also, check out our website under the “In the Field” tab for an article Travis wrote! It is a great one for any level hunter! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Bow Setup & Gear w/ Jim D’Agostino

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 3 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode I made the trip to Allentown PA, to visit Antler Up team member Jim D’Agostino! We had a full day of working on bows and getting some other gear setup for 3D and hunting season. Jim is a bow technician and truly loves the process of building the ultimate shooting bow for any individual. From talking about my new archery setup, Jim’s setup and other pieces of gear we get into some really good stuff.

Kicking this episode off we discussed some of the new features of the 2023 bows and what we liked and maybe didn’t like. We covered some of the not so glamor pieces that can make a difference in your overall shooting experience. Although a quick hitter it is always fun to record an episode in person and get a chance to work alongside Jim as he prepares bows to perfection. Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Innovate & Simplify w/ Tom Kubiniec

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 170 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Tom Kubiniec, president and CEO of Secure It Gun Storage. This was such an awesome podcast to record with Tom. Tom resides just upstate New York where Secure It runs its daily operations. This episode was unlike any other that I have done in the past. Tom brings a lot of knowledge and experience to this conversation about not letting the fear of failure hold you back from accomplishing a goal.

Kicking the episode off Tom explains a little bit about himself, and shares great stories and experiences along the way. From being a professional guitarist and having health issues that forced him out, to then learning sales and starting a few different companies. We discussed how he went from his previous work into what Secure It is today. This was an interesting take since the US military needed a problem solved and Tom was able to innovate and simplify. We discussed what challenges he faced during this time period and how he overcame them. From there he transitioned into commercial sales where now the everyday consumer can benefit from Secure It products. We wrap things up talking about hunting up in New York and getting kids involved.

Invest in Your Whitetail Time

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 169 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Thomas Mlsna from The Untamed Ambition! This was such an awesome podcast to record with Thomas. I first heard Thomas on the Exodus Outdoor Podcast and knew I wanted to pick his brain on whitetail. Throughout this episode you will hear the drive, knowledge and passion Thomas really puts into whitetails, coaching, consulting and his company the Untamed Ambition. We cover specific hunting tactics and share some stories we all can relate and learn from!

Kicking the episode off Thomas explains a little bit about himself, but doesn’t waste any time getting right into whitetail strategies. Thomas breaks down the 4 key elements that are simple but extremely effective when it comes to hunting big whitetails. From getting pieces of the puzzle together, to executing a specific plan to hunt the buck you’re after and mistakes we as hunters can avoid come next season, Thomas covers it!

Thomas also breaks down how to be more intentional with your camera setup, using your historical data in an effective way and really breakdown an area to be set up in the right location! Again, I can’t wait to go back and listen to this episode because I learned so much while recording. I hope you get a lot out of this one as well!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 168 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Lane Housner from In the Presence. Lane is a PA native that runs the YouTube channel In the Presence Hunt. He and his crew hunt all over and film their awesome hunts. From PA, MD, KS, and many more states! These guys get the job done and have a blast doing it. Lane and I just have a straight up BS session of what is going on currently for him and what to expect for next season!

When we kick off this podcast we chat about when Lane first started to film his hunts and get into his internship with the guys from the Untamed. Lane gave up a lot to take this position so he shares things he learned from the filming side and the hunting tactic side. Following this, Lane shares what he is up to currently for scouting and how he breaks down pieces for scouting with boots on the ground and e-scouting. From here we get into how he manages to hunt a bunch of different states come fall.

We also get into listener questions from what food sources Lane keys in on in the big woods and various states he hunts, what his dream hunt schedule looks like and recapping a few hunts from this past season! Be sure to check out what Lane and his crew are doing come next fall!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 167 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Cody Jenkins from the Whitetail Legacy Podcast! This was a podcast I have been looking forward to recording for quite some time and it did not disappoint. Cody has been recording podcasts for over 6 years and has killed some big bucks and that is exactly what we discuss in this week's episode!

When we kick off this podcast we chat about Cody himself and how he has been able to be consistent recording episodes but also getting it done in the woods. You really hear from Cody how important family is to him and what fun he is having getting his children into hunting. We discuss other topics from improving yourself to be better in and out of the woods physically and mentally, current stages in preparing for next season! This was really fun to hear how Cody is finding big deer and the easiest ways to kill them!

Cody also shares how he uses trail cameras, hunting stories from this past season, breaking down a property for scouting, and much more! We also talk about perfect hunting setups and what exactly Cody is looking for when he sets up on a killable buck.

Toughing it Out in the Boundary Waters w/ Rick Brule

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 166 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Rick Brule from Vapor Trail! When Ricky was previously on the podcast he spoke about his upcoming Boundary Waters bear hunt. For this episode we recap this specific hunt and the challenges it presented.

When it came to preparing for this hunt Ricky was all prepared and did his research. However, since he was completing this hunt solo the weather played a factor in keeping him at camp for four days. Being stuck at camp tested Ricky mentally and physically! We discussed what he did during these 4 days and how he was able to still overcome challenges throughout his time there. Ricky shared what these challenges were and what he did to overcome them. To wrap up the story on this hunt Ricky discussed what he plans to do if he is able to draw this bear tag again in the future and what others can learn from his trip this past season.

To finish off this conversation Ricky spoke about his whitetail season and how his first year in the saddle went! We talked about goals and improvements we are looking to make for this upcoming year including mobile hunting, future plans for Vapor Trail rests and a podcast! This was a great chat with Ricky and I hope you enjoy this fun episode!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 165 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Clearfield county native Andrew Mills. Andrew is a state trooper and a freaking turkey fanatic! Andrew is the co-owner of Honey Hole Game Calls! Doing episodes in person is always a great time and this was no exception! We cover a good bit in this episode from whitetail, upcoming out of state turkey hunts, to covering the basics for what you should be doing now to prepare for turkey season!

Andrew is an extremely accomplished turkey hunter, from completing the grand slam to trying to complete the US Slam! To begin this episode we dive into quickly who Andrew is and what got him really into hunting for turkey! He also has three daughters from ages 7-10 that are already very accomplished hunters from whitetails, trapping to turkeys. We asked him about getting his girls involved in hunting and transition to his planning process for spring gobbler. From e-scouting, boots on the ground, sign, calling, where he finds success, and then to his thoughts on the PA season timing!

We get into other hunting strategies, and stories throughout the podcast! I am really looking forward to Andrew finding more success this upcoming spring. I really encourage you to check out Honey Hole Game Calls when you are looking to add your next mouth call to your turkey vest! Enjoy this fun episode!

Traditions, Planning Your Season & Half-Rack w/ Josh Dutton

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 164 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Wisconsin native Josh Dutton. What an absolutely fun conversation that we had! Josh works for Half-Rack which makes some real fine gear for hunters. We only get into the gear a little bit at the end. Josh shared his hunting traditions with his family and you see the impact that it has had on who he is today.

Josh from a very young age knew he wanted to work within the hunting industry and mentions how Half-Rack started. Really cool story regarding that and then he follows this up by telling hunting stories! Josh maps out his typical year for planning for the next hunting season. From right now, figuring out what hunts he will get to come fall, to getting his property in good shape with land management and of course getting lots of time behind the bow.

We get into other hunting strategies, and stories throughout the podcast! I am really looking forward to having Josh on again in the future. Really enjoyed speaking with him and would like to dive deeper into some stories that helped him become successful in and out of the woods! Enjoy this fun episode!

How to Not Suck w/ Dan Johnson

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up Podcast) — Wed, 8 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 163 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by two friends of mine Aaron Hepler and Dan Johnson. The three of us had a great discussion about what we as hunters can be doing now to not suck come fall! This ended up being a little different chat about scouting than normal. When you dive into the episode you will know what I mean!

To start this episode off we chat about how Dan doesn’t necessarily use an all year approach to hunting but rather a property approach. After listening back to this episode I found myself relating more to what Dan was saying because of the certain private pieces that I end up hunting in the fall. Dan talks about putting his stake in the intel that he has gained from previous hunting seasons, rather than post-season scouting to put himself into better positions. One topic that comes out of this is how Dan has developed to scout better while hunting, but when he does get out now to walk a property it allows him to micro manage stand locations for specific spots!

We get into other hunting strategies,from terrain features focused when e-scouting & hunting, using cameras to help get a better understanding of deer movement, kick-off points and Dan’s golden rule when it comes to whitetail hunting. It was a great pleasure having Dan on the podcast! Enjoy this fun episode!

Aggressive Deer Hunting Strategies & Mindset w/ Wade Childs

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 1 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 162 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Michigan native Wade Childs. This episode was a blast to record! I heard some awesome hunting stories from mutual friend Andrew Blair and I knew immediately I wanted to get Wade on the show! This has a lot of great information in it regarding whitetails, specifically hunting more aggressive!

To start this episode off we chat about all the different states that Wade got to hunt and the different terrain, habitat and challenges these states offered. From his home state of MI, MO, IL and IA. From here, Wade discusses how he uses an aggressive mindset/strategy to combat the pressure he is seeing in the woods from other hunters. We also talk about what sign he likes to prioritize when finding “the spot” to hunt. .

Wade had another awesome season by killing a great buck in both IA and IL, while also filling 4 doe tags in MI. I loved hearing some of the key tactics that Wade has adopted over the years bowhunting. A few things stood out to me about his aggressive style and I hope some do for you as well! You will also hear how much stock Wade puts into his postseason scouting, which is always a fun topic to discuss! Enjoy this fun episode!

Lighting the Fire w/ Hayden Ferrari

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 161 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Tennessee native Hayden Ferrari. This episode was a fun discussion to have with Hayden because I was able to hear the passion and drive that Hayden has to become a more well rounded hunter. Although growing up in TN, Hayden has a bunch of ties to PA!

To start this episode off we chat about the relationship between bowhunting and sports and how that has helped the two of us when it comes to doing whatever it takes to be a better hunter, archer and what it takes to tackle adversity. We follow that up with what are some key attributes that have elevated his skills as a hunter. From making adjustments from past seasons, becoming more proficient in reading maps, scouting and getting outside his comfort zone.

Hayden had a fun and successful hunting season in 2022. He breaks down his strategy that led to his success as well as his buck story. One new thing Hayden tried this past season was going out of state for a whitetail hunt. He shares his experience of scouting before the season in KS, to not pulling that tag and then ultimately just doing an over the counter MO hunt. We wrap this episode up talking about some of Haydens favorite gear that he enjoyed using this past season! Enjoy this fun episode!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 160 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by our good friend AJ Iaquinta from Knights of the Apex! It is always a great conversation when we get a chance to catch up with AJ and just chat about life! This episode is filled with various topics that include dad life, influencers, outfitters and getting the chance to meet Jocko.

AJ has been running Knights of the Apex over the last 3+ years where he does a phenomenal job with creating content surrounding gear! We do get into his thoughts on this year's bows and how they stack up. We also hear how he put in more time and effort in hunting his current state of Florida and what challenges he faced. Early in the hunting season, AJ made the trip to hunt Illinois with some awesome hunters like Beau Martonik and Ryan Haines. This chat led us to talking about his experience hunting at various outfitters and hit takeaways from those experiences.

Like I mentioned earlier, it is always a great time talking with AJ and we look forward to the conversations! I am looking forward to seeing what AJ has in store for Knights of the Apex this year because each year he keeps on killing it and I have a ton of respect for him! Enjoy this fun episode!

Pushing the Limits with Hunting Gear & More w/ Josh Raley

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 8 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 159 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Josh Raley from the How to Hunt Deer Podcast and the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast. Both of these podcasts air on the Sportsmen’s Empire on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Josh was a great guest to have on our show and we really enjoyed this chat! We dove down some gear rabbit holes in this one. So, if you are into that type of stuff, I believe you will enjoy this one!

Josh was able to attend his first ATA show this past January and he shared with us some of the items that he really liked from the show and then some gear that he really enjoyed using this past hunting season. We then discuss how things are really evolving when it comes to hunting gear. Really pushing the limits for maximizing how efficient our bows are, the mobile gear we use and everything else. This was a fun topic to chat about because everyone is going to use different gear for all aspects I just mentioned. So, it was great to hear what Josh’s and Dimitri’s take was on the trends of hunting gear and where it is heading.

We wrap up the episode having Josh talk about his success during this past hunting season and what all went into that. From there we get into some postseason strategy as well. I hope you enjoyed this episode and if you are heading to the GAOS make sure to stop by the Tethrd booth on the weekend to say hi!

Breaking it down with Carl Kossuth

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 1 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 158 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Carl Kossuth from Tethrd. Carl is the Chief Designer for Tethrd. This was a fun one to record because out of all the relationships that I have been blessed with since we’ve started this journey Carl is one that happened spontaneously. We actually quickly mention that in this episode, but we also dive into when Carl got the bug to shoot with the longbow and his passion for that. This was a fun conversation because we haven’t explored that yet on the podcast. After relistening to it, I just might have to fiddle around with one this spring!

In this episode we cover Carl’s successful 2022 season and what led to that success. We dove down some in season scouting techniques that Carl really focuses on to put himself in the best position to kill a buck. This episode also wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t discuss some gear. Carl shared information regarding the new Tethrd Lockdown Saddle! I can’t wait to try this out myself at the GAOS in Harrisburg! Hear also what Carl is most proud of when it comes to developing gear for Tetrhd. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you are heading to the GAOS make sure to stop by the Tethrd booth on the weekends to say hi!

Expectations vs Reality w/ Cam Derr

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 157 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Cam Derr from Exodus Outdoor Gear. Cam also is host of The Deer Gear Podcast and can be found on a ton of Exodus’s YouTube videos. For this episode Cam talks about his expectations vs reality for this past hunting season with some amazing storytelling. We had Cam on the show back in the spring when he had high hopes of pulling an Iowa tag and filling his ND tag for the second year in a row. Well, as it turns out Cam pulled that Iowa tag, filled it and filled his ND tag on his biggest deer to date in velvet.

Hear how even success brings challenges and how persevering leads to his success. From struggling with shooting his bow, Cam was able to gain the confidence back and get the job done. For the ND hunt, Cam shares what he needs to see from the field in order to go after a deer and how that totally changes when he goes to Iowa. For just shy of two weeks, Cam’s Iowa story had me in total awe. It is something that I believe every whitetail hunter dreams about one day when they have the chance to hunt Iowa and from this story it did not disappoint. Cam wanted a specific experience, and Cam got it.

Exodus Outdoor Gear just released a brand new Rival cellular camera and they will be at the GAOS in Harrisburg in two weeks. Get there early to snag one if you are interested and Cam also shares what he will be doing himself with some arrows at the show!

Shooting from the Hip w/ Bill Harvey from Pertnear Outdoors

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 156 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri, Jim and I were joined by Bill Harvey from Pertnear Outdoors. If you have been listening to our podcast over the last few years, you know that Bill is a good friend of ours and resides just outside of Buffalo, NY. Bill is also the host of the Pertnear Outdoors podcast and for this week's episode we just shot from the hip with various topics. From how Bill managed his family life this past hunting season, some takeaways in how he has scaled back his social media presence and why, to making hunting fun again. Bill killed two bucks this past season in NY, one with his bow in early October and the other a few weeks ago with the muzzle loader. Bill also killed on the first drive on day one during the PA trip this past season.

Such a fun conversation with laughs and stories from this past season. Bill is a great hunter, friend and person. I highly recommend checking out his podcast and the events that he has planned in the near future. The Shed Fest contest will be going into its third year this spring so be sure to check that out and enter. Super easy and fun to participate in and those that live nearby or willing to travel in the summer Bill and his crew do a beer fest with Windy Brewing Company to raise money for some local chapters. Check them out and thank you for listening.

What Leads to Out of State Success w/ Jared Shaffer

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 155 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Jared Shaffer from Tethrd. Jared resides in West Virginia and over the last 3 years has been on some truly amazing hunts. We kick off the episode with Jared sharing some information about how and what led to his success over the last two years killing 9 bucks in various states like OH, WV & IA to just name a few. To wrap up our out of state hunting talk, Jared brings a wealth of knowledge to this episode. We talk about how Jared manages his short and extended out of state hunts. We discuss what he prioritizes during these specific hunts, from scouting, cell cameras, topography and everything in between. This was a great conversation regarding out of state hunting and hope if you are on the fence about doing one next year that this episode helps you out to just do it!

For the second half of this episode we discuss Jared’s Iowa hunt from this past season. We plan on doing a few episodes with hunters that are either a resident or non resident to Iowa that have hunted or hunt some Iowa giants. Jared shares his whole trip with us from how many points it took to draw his tag, to having Rendell Erik as a great hunting partner, getting boots on the ground and calling in his biggest whitetail to date! What a great story and way to kick off our mini Iowa chat!

Recapping a Successful Ohio Trip

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 4 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Ian Senior. Ian has been on the podcast before and if you didn’t get a chance to listen to that episode I’ll give you a quick run down on Ian. Dimitri and Ian grew up together and have been hunting together for a long time. You’ll hear references within this episode but Ian does not have social media and when you hear your friends talk about good hunters and guys that just straight up fill tags and no one really knows them…well Ian fits that bill to the T! Ian is a great guy and a lot of fun to be around so I was really looking forward to this podcast discussion.

We briefly talked about how Ian took his son out hunting this archery and rifle season for the first time with the mentor license here in PA. Then we continued with our out of state discussions by having Ian and Dimitri break down their entire Ohio hunting trip. Right before we dove into the Ohio trip discussion, Ian started his 2022 season at an outfitter in Canada for a bear hunt. He was successful in bringing two bears home from that trip. Following that we get into talking about some Ohio whitetails. From their planning stage, to when they scouted, getting a campground pegged down and finally getting the chance to chase some Ohio whitetails during the week of Halloween. Some really good takeaways in this episode from the different terrain features they hunted, the challenges they faced, what kind of sign they were finding or lack thereof and getting a chance to fill their tags.

How to Start Planning Your Out of State Hunt w/ Tom Runscavage

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 153 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Tom Runscavage. Tom resides in North Eastern PA and is an avid hunter. From scouting a ton in the offseason to chasing whitetails in the mountains of PA, Tom also has a passion for hunting out of state. Jim and I had the great opportunity to share camp with Tom out of state for an early season whitetail hunt. Prior to that trip I was able to see how much time Tom puts into his planning and preparation. So for this specific episode we wanted to kick things off with talking about just that! How to start planning for an out of state hunt! Before we dive into all that good stuff, Tom was able to hunt PA this year beginning at the end of October for 21 straight days. Tom only missed 3 of those days and with all the grit and perseverance Tom killed a PA mountain buck on the last day of the archery season. We began the podcast talking about his PA hunting but half way through we switched gears to discussing where to begin when planning your out of state trip!

Beginning with this episode we will be discussing some out of state hunts topics, strategies and stories over the next two episodes. To break this episode down more with Tom, he shared the two most important aspects to planning a trip out of state and those two being “budget & time.” Tom breaks down his point system process, how he organizes everything for each state, the websites he uses to help him with draw-odds and some nearby states that can be a great chance to cut your teeth on out of state hunting! Next week we have Dimitri and Ian on to run us through their OH trip where they tell their stories of their bucks and the planning that went into that. So, with that and 2022 coming to a close I would like to say THANK YOU again for the support over the last two plus years. We are coming up to 3 years and we love the opportunity to chat with such great individuals and hunters. Thank you again, Happy New Year and Antler Up!

Best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 152 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Jim D’Agostino. Jim is a part of our team of Antler Up and we couldn’t wait to have him on the podcast to chat about his recent success during the last weekend of the PA rifle season. Jim shares his story on the mountain buck and what a team effort the whole weekend trip is! This was Jim’s second trip with our friends from Pertnear Outdoors out of NY for this hunt and Jim wanted this year to be a lot different than last year's trip. He took the last half year to get himself in better shape and he mentions how that helped him when it came to pulling the trigger. We discussed his 2022 season takeaways and how that will lead into this spring/summer preparation already.

With Jim wrapping up the 2022 season with this buck, he plans on getting ready for the indoor season this year. We will be doing a future episode where he finds the benefits of keeping yourself in “archery” shape. In the meantime, if you are looking for a new set of arrows or need some bow work done and live in the eastern part of PA then be sure to check out Jim’s Keystone Precision Archery page! With the season beginning to wrap up in PA and other states, let us know what kind of episodes you are interested in hearing and if you had success this past year hit us up and come on the show to share your story!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 151 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Brandon Miller of The Everyday Outdoorsmen. Brandon is a great individual and we love to have him on the podcast. Make sure to check out his previous episodes with us from last year. This episode we dive into late season topics. Start out with catching up on life, then talk about his strategy when it comes to the late season. Brandon will hunt late season here in PA as well as in Maryland. To go along with the tactic side of late season hunting, we discussed a few must-have pieces of gear when heading out during this time as well.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 144 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by NJ native Greg Litzinger. For those of you that know or have heard Greg on other podcasts know how much time and effort Greg puts into scouting and hunting. Greg has been successful for a very long time and when he speaks on a topic he makes it extremely relatable. This specific episode we dive into topics regarding the pre-rut phase. More specifically what sign he is looking for, his camera strategy and how/what develops a gameplan around what the sign and trail cameras are telling him. The main goal for Greg this year is to get back to his roots to find the freshest of fresh buck sign. If that sign is not there, keep moving forward until he finds what you need.

Greg also dives into saving specific hunting locations for this specific time frame of the year, finding food sources, hunting mornings or evenings, scrape setups, having the killer mentality and how to avoid/overcome obstacles. A TON of great information here and we hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week with Ryan Glitsky! Best of luck out there and Antler Up!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 143 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by none other than Troy Pottenger. This could be a great week for deer hunting no matter where you are in the country and some more great times in the woods are ahead. Troy explains the importance of a scrape and how hunting scrapes have molded his hunting style to figure out mature whitetail bucks. This episode has a ton of information with specific stories that go along with each strategy that Troy shares. Early on in the podcast Troy talks about a pattern to specific months when it comes to killing whitetails. How he prioritizes hunting community scrapes in October, correlation with cold fronts and bucks hitting scrapes, the importance of terrain features to create a mock scrape on or where to locate these primetime scrapes.

This is a great podcast to get out a pen and paper for and write down what Troy is spitting out. You hear it in his voice just how passionate Troy is about this stuff and I am thankful that he took the time to share all this information with me and the listeners! Hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week! Antler Up!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 140 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Steve Sherk from Sherks Guide Service. Steve resides in Western PA where he hunts the big woods of PA. The last time Steve was on the podcast we had a ton of topics regarding buck hunting tactics. Well round two is finally here after a year. Steve wrapped up a two year trail cam data study which he shared on the Exodus Podcast with our friends Chad and Cam. We get Steve to share hunting strategies for specific weeks, finding bucks after the shift and so much more! We wrap up the conversation with Steve answering a few listener questions. Thanks to Steve for coming on again and sharing a ton of great content!!

To start things off in the podcast Steve shares what to focus on coming into the early season and how bedding plays a major role in this. Follow this up by chatting about shifting cameras, and when he doesn’t shift cameras because he doesn’t want to disturb specific buck areas. A question came up about not only how Steve tracks buck shifting areas, but does as well and his philosophy on shooting a doe early or not. Then Steve shares his strategy regarding the three C’s (Cover, Cold Fronts & Cameras). It was awesome to hear some techniques and stories regarding the three C’s. Then the meat and potatoes of the podcast Steve breaks down how he would hunt each time frame of the big woods and ties in his trail cam data study for this period. So much great info in this episode and Part 2 of Buck School with Steve as a freaking blast! Hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week! Antler Up!

Ultimately we have a fun bs conversation about improving your own self as a hunter and as an individual.

To start things off in the podcast Matt briefly introduces who he is and what his role is with his own company Venator Human Performance and Nodens Outdoors. Matt is going to be doing some pretty awesome stuff this fall for Veterans where he and the Nodens Outdoors crew will be going to VA during Veterans Days weekend for a bowhunting camp. Matt’s background is in exercise science and shares the importance of specificity training for what you do. For example, the three of us are saddle hunters so we share some important keep training techniques when it comes to getting into “saddle shape.” Within this discussion two key words came to mind and we touched upon them and those words were “discipline” and “stress.” We talk about how we need to work towards gaining discipline and decreasing our stress.

Mitch Shirk of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast talks about his upcoming 2022 season, hunting strategy for public vs private & his story of his 170”

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 138 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by Mitch Shirk from the Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast. Mitch resides in southeastern PA where he mainly hunts private land but as we discussed in this podcast Mitch shares his strategy for hunting public land as well. The two of us get into a bunch of topics when it comes to whitetail hunting. We dive into key factors that a property needs to have to help manage deer, his approach to his past few hunting seasons, getting outside his comfort zone and his story on his 170” buck that was on a 2 acre wooded lot. We wrap up the conversation by discussing what hunting PA means to us and his Pennsylvania Woodsman Podcast on the Sportsmen’s Empire.

To start things off in the podcast Mich briefly introduces who he is and we spend the first 15 minutes just having a fun bs session. We then start talking a little bit about how running our podcasts have helped us over the last few years. Mitch shares his thoughts on what a property needs to help manage deer. For this aspect Mitch shares the importance of entry and exit routes. We discuss the plans for the upcoming 2022 season here in PA. This was a fun discussion because we both have full time jobs and shared how we plan on not blowing up our main areas when we can hunt if the wind doesn’t allow it. I think a lot of people can relate to this aspect of the discussion. Mitch shared his strategies for hunting a specific buck vs a general buck/deer. I asked Mitch how he goes about limiting his mistakes on his own property, his best of 2020 season in which he shot a 170” and the struggles of 2021. Mitch shares the importance of gaining knowledge and intel by getting boots on the ground and getting outside his comfort zone. Wrapping this episode up we chat about what hunting PA means to us. Hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week! Antler Up!

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 7 Sep 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 137 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Rick Brule from Vapor Trail and Stokerized! Rick has been with Vapor Trail for over 10 years and he shares a little bit about himself and their companies. Rick talks about his upcoming Boundary Waters hunt and all the details regarding what he will be going after and when! We asked Ricke about his whitetail hunting situation for this upcoming season and it was really interesting to hear the way Rick hunts the metro Minnesota areas. Right after that Rick dives into two different Pope and Young buck stories! Then we wrap things up by talking about some whitetail calling strategies and experiences.

To start things off in the podcast Rick briefly introduces who he is and what his role is with Vapor Trail and Stokerized. Vapor Trail has been extremely busy this past year not only with products but with building their own pro shop in Minnesota! Rick shares some information regarding their shop and what people in the area can expect when they go there! From actually selling products, hanging out, 40 yard range and Techno Hunt!

This is where he drew a limited bear tag but plans to fish, hunt whitetails and birds! Really interesting to hear how he plans on attacking this trip and makes you want to go for the ride! Following this conversation up we dove right into his two Pope & Young whitetail buck stories. Both stories happen during the middle of November and hearing how he was able to overcome a bad shot on the biggest buck yet to date. To finish off the episode Rick shares how his improved calling techniques has led to him getting more deer encounters and what he is doing. Hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week!

Zach Ferenbaugh of THP Talks Early Season Hunts, Gear Setups, Whitetail Scouting Philosophy & MORE

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up) — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:00:00 +0000

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Zach Ferenbaugh from The Hunting Public! Zach needs no introduction into the show and we got right into it from the start! This was a really fun conversation with Zach because I had the opportunity to hang out with Zach this past July at a Tethrd Teach-N-Train Tour event in Iowa. It was awesome to see him interact with people that attended the event and we had the chance to catch up afterwards. Some of the topics in today’s episode were from that conversation and I knew I wanted Zach to come on and dive deeper into those for the listeners and have him pick up where he left off!

To start things off in the podcast Zach mentions briefly what his first hunt is going to be and where! This then caused us to go down a rabbit hole of what gear adjustments he either already has made or will make for that trip and the rest of the season. Those of you that have followed the podcast know I love talking to individuals about their gear! After this topic Zach shares how his whitetail scouting philosophy has evolved over the last few years and what his objectives are! I loved this part because Zach shares how to read sign correctly to hunt THAT sign NOW and not being married to a specific spot. He really goes deep into this topic and I personally took a lot away from this part and I believe you will too! It truly was great to get this information out. Some stories were shared as well that go along with this topic. We wrap up the podcast with chatting about how to manage your mentality during the hunting season. We all know those down times come during the season and Zach shares his thoughts on it and what he does to keep that positive mindset going during the season! This was a total blast to record and I hope you like it! Enjoy today’s episode & thanks for tuning in!! ANTLER UP!!

#133: Breaking Down the Process for Early Season Tactics & Hunting Bedding Areas w/ Rendell Erik

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Antler Up Podcast) — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 04:00:13 +0000

Dimitri and I sat down with Rendell Erik from Iowa. If you have seen the Tethrd 10 this past year, you will notice today’s guest as this past year's winner. I had the privilege to meet and work an event this past summer with Erik and knew immediately we had to have him break down some whitetail strategy. For this episode Rendell breaks down his process on how he has been able to fill his tags on bucks scoring in the 170’s and how he goes after and plans to kill a buck over 200”. Love this chat and I believe no matter where you are located you can use these tactics when scouting, placing trailcam’s, and hunting bedding areas. So get that pen and pad ready and enjoy the episode. Enjoy today’s episode & thanks for tuning in!! Enjoy this fun episode! ANTLER UP!!
