Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m catching up with Jake Hofer. If you’re into getting better at hunting and managing ground the right way, this one’s for you. We talk about the real work behind whitetail management, the kind that doesn’t show up in a highlight reel—tree planting, fixing screw-ups, and learning to let the land teach you a few hard lessons. Jake also talks about stepping into ownership at Whitetail Master Academy, and how diving deeper into habitat work and smarter hunting strategies has changed how he approaches chasing big deer. We cover everything from balancing work, life, and whitetails, to late-season muzzleloader success, to how traditional archery will flat-out expose your weaknesses. If you want the honest version of what it takes to get better in the deer woods, it's all packed into this episode.
