#262 - "I'm tired of Loosing my Hunting Buddies"

Before the Echo ·

2026/10/06

A comment on one of my recent podcasts stopped me in my tracks.I asked hunters what they were tired of seeing in the hunting industry. I expected answers about social media, hunting pressure, expensive gear, influencers, leasing ground, and all the other things we tend to complain about.Then an older hunter simply said:“I’m tired of losing my hunting buddies.”That one hit differently.We spend so much time worrying about killing bigger bucks, finding better spots, buying better gear, and becoming

2026/10/02

I’m done hunting deer like everyone else.It’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing — the newest tactics, the perfect setups, the latest gear, and the idea that there’s only one “right” way to hunt mature bucks.But this season, I’m changing my approach.In this episode of Before the Echo, I talk about why I’m simplifying the way I hunt, trusting what I’ve learned through experience, and making decisions based on what’s actually happening in the woods instead of what everyone else says

What does a successful deer season actually look like?For most deer hunters, the obvious answer is killing a big buck. But if that's the only way we measure success, we can do almost everything right for an entire season and still walk away feeling like we failed.In this episode of Before the Echo, I’m sitting down to talk about my goals for this deer season—and why I think setting the RIGHT goals can completely change the way we hunt.We’re talking about:• My personal goals for this deer season

Most deer hunters know how to spot a big rub, a giant scrape, or a heavily used trail—but some of the most important deer sign is the stuff hunters walk right past.In this episode of Before the Echo, I break down the subtle clues I pay attention to when scouting and hunting whitetails. We’re talking about lone buck tracks, faint secondary trails, small rubs in the right places, overlooked bedding, vegetation changes, browse, staging areas, and even what the absence of sign can tell you.The goal
