Mobile Hunters Dojo

The hunting season is almost here for all of us, and for some of us, it has already begun! In this episode, I share a story from this past weekend's youth hunt with my youngest son. We had the best time, but then a nasty little voice tried to creep into my mind. That ugly voice tells you that everyone else is killing deer but you and that you need to get it done, or you are nothing. 

Matt sits down with @beau.martonik from the @eastmeetswesthunt podcast to discuss personal development through hunting, his new short film "Coal Country" and having the right mindset for succeeding in the woods and in life. Key Takeaways for Listeners: The role of mindset, visualization, and persistence in hunting success. Beau's spot-and-stalk hunting strategy and how it led to success in West Virginia. The importance of personal accountability, learning from mistakes, and mentorship in hunting and life.

In this episode, I share what I am doing to get ready for October 1 and pull from the Dojo vault all the way back to Ep. 1 with  Brian Dombrowski. Brian breaks down how hunters can use rubs to increase their chances of success, especially for those new to hunting. He emphasizes understanding a buck’s home range and how to use rub lines to identify high-traffic areas and staging zones. Brian shares practical advice on interpreting deer sign, tracking rub lines, and developing a strategic game plan. He encourages hunters to be adventurous, let the sign guide their approach, and not overcomplicate the process. His insights offer actionable tips for both beginner and experienced hunters alike.

Bullet Points:

• Learn how to use rubs to understand a buck's home range and patterns
• Tips for tracking rub lines to find staging areas and high-traffic spots
• Importance of being inquisitive and adventurous in the woods when reading sign
