Summary
This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m giving a real-time update on where things are currently heading into a busy stretch of the season. After feeling frustrated with my shooting recently, I made a few small adjustments this past week that already seem to be helping mentally and physically. In this episode, I break down the mindset shifts I’m making, how slowing down and becoming more intentional has helped my confidence, and why I’m trying to focus more on execution rather than chasing scores as ASA approaches this weekend. I also dive into TAC season being right around the corner, some recent changes I’m making with fitness and nutrition using MTN Tough workouts, and the balancing act of trying to stay connected to turkey season while juggling work, content creation, photography, and life outside of hunting. I also touch on some current Pennsylvania hunting news and reflect on how hunting and archery seasons evolve over time. If you’ve been in a stretch where things haven’t fully clicked yet, this episode is a reminder that sometimes progress starts with a few small adjustments and simply continuing to show up.
