Show Notes
In Episode 299 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy recaps a tough rut weekend in Pennsylvania with little daylight buck activity despite long all‑day sits. He shares the ups and downs of Saturday’s move into thicker cover, Sunday’s rain‑shortened hunt, and the frustration of seeing shooter bucks only on camera at night. Alongside these stories, Jeremy lays out practical rut strategies for the week of November 10–16, emphasizing patience, midday sits, and smart adjustments to weather and trail camera intel. Listeners also hear a shoutout to Jim for filling his New York archery tag, a preview of his upcoming gun opener, and coverage of the new bow releases from Mathews, Hoyt, and Prime, plus timely Pennsylvania hunting updates.
To round out the episode, Jeremy throws in an older conversation with Andy May from Episode 231, “Get Better & Keep it Simple.” In that discussion, Andy shares how hunters often overcomplicate their approach and why simplifying gear, trusting experience, and focusing on continuous learning can lead to greater success. He emphasizes that challenges and encounters often outweigh the size of bucks harvested, and that keeping things simple helps hunters stay efficient and confident in the field. Pairing Jeremy’s current rut grind with Andy’s timeless advice makes this episode a blend of real‑time hunting reflection and evergreen wisdom for whitetail hunters.
