Ryan Glitsky joins the Hunt The Season Podcast to break down how aggressive hunting tactics, in-season scouting, and camera intel helped him tag a buck during one of the slowest, most brutal rut seasons in Pennsylvania. With deer movement low and pressure rising fast heading into rifle season, Ryan explains how focusing on thick cover, food sources, and real-time sign led to success when most hunters were struggling. He also shares the mental grind of the slow rut, an ethical shot-recovery challenge, and practical strategies rifle and archery hunters can use to find bucks in tough conditions.Support for the Podcast:Code of Silence CamoCamp Co | use Code HTS |Deer Age- Use code HTSLatitude outdoors
In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, I sits down with Ohio whitetail hunter Hank Gibson for a deep, honest conversation about the changing landscape of deer hunting. The discussion opens with how modern hunting tactics have become saturated, the resourcefulness of Amish hunters, and why the long-standing tradition of “deer camp” is fading—largely due to social media pressure on young hunters to chase only big bucks.Hank introduces himself and breaks down his passion for mobile hunting with Lone Wolf Custom Gear, sharing the real-world challenges of understanding thermals and adapting on the fly. He walks through the multi-year pursuit of his 200-inch giant, Big Daddy, revealing a strategy built on patience, failure, and pushing beyond his comfort zone.The conversation also tackles the controversy surrounding Lone Wolf within the hunting industry, how hunters can avoid relying too heavily on trail cameras, and why spending more time in the woods—and embracing mistakes—is still the best way to grow as a hunter.Whether you’re a new bowhunter or a seasoned whitetail addict, this episode delivers practical insights, honest perspectives, and motivation to get mobile, think differently, and hunt harder.Support for the Podcast:Code of Silence CamoCamp Co | use Code HTS |Deer Age- Use code HTSHobo Gear outdoorsLatitude outdoors
