EP. 467: Five Yards From Success | The Hunt That Tested Everything

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

In this one, I walk you through a hunt that didn’t go the way I drew it up on the map. I lost access to ground overnight, the weather shut deer movement down, and I spent most of the trip bouncing around trying to find doe groups and make something happen with a longbow. It was frustrating, humbling, and honestly exactly the kind of hunt that teaches you more than a filled tag ever will. If you’ve had a season where nothing comes easy, this episode will probably hit close to home.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 467

• Losing access to ground mid-trip can derail a hunt fast and forces you to rethink your entire plan.
• Weather swings can shut deer movement down, making it critical to adapt and stay mobile.
• Hunting pressure and limited access can shrink your options and demand better decision-making.
• Longbow hunting magnifies every mistake—five yards or a split-second can make or break an encounter.
• Every hunt—successful or not—adds to your understanding of deer behavior and sharpens your instincts.
