Show Notes
The phones are listening, the deer are moving, and Jeremy Dinsmore is ready to throw arrows again. If you hunt whitetails, obsess over trail cam intel, or just love the kind of real talk that starts with a conspiracy theory and ends with a better deer season plan, this one is for you.
Dan Johnson and Jeremy Dinsmore kick things off with the creepy feeling that your phone is hearing every conversation, then quickly turn it into a bigger conversation about how modern life, rising costs, and constant distraction are changing the way we hunt and think. From bathroom remodel ads appearing out of nowhere to gas prices, diapers, and the grind of raising kids, this episode blends everyday chaos with whitetail-season anticipation in a way only these two can.
You’ll hear Jeremy break down:
- Why 2023 changed the way he approaches hunting and why he is done letting good opportunities walk
- How fatherhood shifted his mindset from proving something to simply enjoying the season and filling tags
- What he is watching for on trail cameras, including the frustrating mystery of bucks disappearing from pinch points
- Why EHD rumors, wet conditions, and standing beans have him paying close attention to what the landscape is telling him
- How family, camp life, and time in the woods create the stories he wants to pass down to his kids someday
Dan brings his own sharp perspective on deer behavior, pressure, and the weird realities of hunting pressured farms, including a head-scratching example of standing beans that saw almost no deer sign all winter. Jeremy shares what he is seeing in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the early-season units he plans to hunt, plus why Sundays, weekend hunts, and smarter tag strategy are giving him a fresh edge heading into fall.
This episode hits on more than just deer. It is about what happens when hunting becomes a reset button, a family tradition, and a reminder to stop staring at your phone and start paying attention to the world around you. It is equal parts funny, honest, and fired up for the season ahead.Perfect for whitetail hunters, dads juggling family and the woods, and anyone who is counting down the days until opening weekend.
