Today on the podcast I’m joined by my good buddy Johnny Utah. Last John was on he was preparing for a Canadian hunt. On that hunt John was able to fill two tags…one of those tags was wrapped on a dream species. Not to be out done, when he headed home to Iowa for late season…let’s just say he didn’t leave the lucky horseshoe in Canada. Always a good time catching up with my dude - hope you all dig the chat - thanks for listening!

In this chat, Ryan and I dive deep into our trail camera tactics and how we decipher the data for our hunts. With around 30 cameras each, we stress the importance of picking spots with dense cover that make mature bucks feel at home. Our strategy is simple: focus on deer trails, key terrain features, scrapes and transitions.
Our talk revolves around understanding the 'why' behind deer behavior, blending trail camera intel with on-the-ground scouting and ass time in a tree in season. We highlight how weather, wind, and terrain influence deer movement, shaping our hunting playbook.
As we map out our upcoming hunts, we swap our approaches to using wind patterns, weather's impact on deer behavior, and the key days to be in the woods, especially during the rut.

EP. 388: Combining Trail Camera Data W/ On-the-Ground Scouting | Ryan Glitsky

Join me on the Truth From the Stand Podcast as I sit down with Troy Fowler to delve into the heart of bowhunting and arrow dynamics. We're diving deep into the world of hunting experiences, arrow spine, and fine-tuning those crucial shots. Troy drives home the critical nature of arrow flight, spotlighting how using underspined arrows can dramatically impact lethality out in the field. Plus, he shares invaluable insights into bare shafting and its profound effect on arrow trajectory.
But wait, there's more! We're not just talking compound bows here. Traditional archery aficionados, listen up! Troy sheds light on how traditional techniques can inform your approach to arrow tuning, especially when you're wielding a compound bow. And let's not forget about arrow point weight – a small detail with massive implications for your shot's precision.
We're also dissecting the broadhead game, folks. From sharpness to durability, we're weighing the pros and cons of single bevel versus three-blade broadheads and how they impact penetration and wound channels. And believe me, we're not skimping on the nitty-gritty details of arrow weight and speed, crucial factors for achieving that buttery-smooth flight every hunter dreams of.
But here's the kicker: Troy spills the beans on why heavy arrows and single-bevel broadheads reign supreme when it comes to bone-crushing penetration. And before we wrap up, we're tackling the age-old question: What's the ideal angle for bagging that prized deer? Spoiler alert: It's all about accuracy and effectiveness, my friends. So, grab your gear, tune in, and let's up our bowhunting game together!

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 386

Arrow flight is crucial for bowhunting success, and underspined arrows can reduce lethality.

Bare shafting and tuning arrows can greatly improve arrow flight and accuracy.

Traditional archery can provide valuable insights into arrow tuning and manipulation.

Choosing the right broadhead is crucial, and sharpness and durability are key factors to consider.

Single bevel broadheads are easy to sharpen and provide good penetration.

Three-blade broadheads are also effective and offer consistent pass-through.

One-piece machined heads are recommended for durability and performance.

Shot placement is critical

Shooting where the animal wants to be shot increases the chances of a successful kill.

Arrow weight and speed play a role in achieving consistent flight and penetration.

EP. 387: Increase Your Bowhunting Lethality | Ranch Fairy

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Sam Ubl. Sam has been hunting public and by permission land, and using water access way before it was “cool.” Sam has a DIY mentality, where there’s a will there’s a way. This approach came from trudging through the swamps of Wisconsin with his dad as a youngster, where sometimes making your own water access skis were a necessity to cross the marsh, reeds and bog. Now…with a camera in hand you can see Sam and his crew at work on Chase Nation. This conversation was a long time coming, and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did - thanks for listening.

Go overboard and you’ve probably missed something…not enough and you may not take that leap your gut is telling you to that would lead you to killing that mature buck. Truth is, it’s a balancing act. Just like when to believe hot sign..and when to walk right past it. Awesome chat with Tony as always - thanks for listening.
