Description

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.

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