Welcome back to the WhitetailDNA Podcast! On today's episode, we are joined by Todd Bumgardner of Pack Mule Training to break down what we should be doing in and out of the gym to boost our performance in the woods. Todd shares his extensive background and education in strength and conditioning, and what shaped Pack Mule's training approach to building hunters who can perform year-round when it matters most. We dig into common red flags in the hunting industry, how to spot fluff vs function, and why credibility and real-world experience are critical when choosing a coach. Todd also walks through the different levels of training offered by Pack Mule Training and what the average hunter should be doing to maximize results. Whether you're chasing whitetails close to home or grinding it out on an out-of-state hunt, this episode is packed with actionable insight to help you hunt harder. Enjoy the show!
