The season is underway, and we're just getting started. In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I'm breaking down my first few hunts of the year, the deer I've seen, and why I haven't been in a rush to force an opportunity. From hunting with Jim to spending time in the stand locally, I'm reflecting on what these early sits have taught me about patience, preparation, and sticking to the standards I've set for myself this season. With a major temperature swing on the horizon and the best stretch of the whitetail season still ahead, it's a reminder to stay focused on what you can control. You can't dictate deer movement or force the perfect opportunity, but you can control your preparation, your decisions, and your willingness to keep showing up. Whether you're chasing your next buck or working toward a goal in your own life, don't get discouraged when the results haven't come yet. Stay patient, trust the process, and don't check out before the moment arrives. Antler Up!

In the final installment of The Becoming Series, Jeremy takes a step back from the pursuit and asks a bigger question: What are we actually leaving behind? Looking back on memories of hunting and growing up with his dad, Jeremy reflects on how hindsight changes the way we see the moments we once took for granted. We’re never guaranteed another hunt, another conversation, another opening morning, or another ordinary day with the people we love. But we are fortunate to still have the opportunity to make new memories—and sometimes, the moments we don't recognize as significant while we're living them become the ones we treasure most. Jeremy also gets personal about fatherhood, the pressure he puts on himself to be more and give more to his daughters, and what it means to look in the mirror and wrestle with the man you're becoming. Maybe legacy isn't about doing more, accomplishing more, or leaving something impressive behind. Maybe it's about being present, showing up, and leaving something good in the people we love. As the series comes full circle through preparation, identity, consistency, resilience, and finally legacy, Jeremy asks the question that may matter most: What are you becoming and what will remain because you were here?

We’ve spent the last few episodes talking about preparation, identity, and consistency—but eventually, every hunter reaches a season where the work doesn’t seem to be producing the results we hoped for. The cameras go quiet. The sign disappears. The buck doesn’t show. The plan falls apart. In Episode 320 of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy explores what happens when we’ve done everything we know to do and the outcome still doesn’t go our way. Because resilience isn’t tested when everything is working—it’s revealed when it isn’t. Jeremy also gets personal, sharing a season of his own life when rejection and uncertainty left him questioning what he was doing and where he was headed. Before becoming a teacher, Jeremy prepared for interview after interview, felt confident in his abilities, and still found himself repeatedly passed over. With a newborn daughter, student loans on the horizon, and no clear path forward, he found himself needing to step back, regroup, and keep moving. Looking back, what felt like failure at the time became redirection. In the woods and in life, we don't always get to control the outcome—but we do get to decide how we respond. Sometimes the season you most want to escape is the season that is building you.

Everyone wants the result—the mature buck, the filled tag, the transformation, the moment when all the preparation finally pays off. But very few people see what it takes to get there. In Part III of The Becoming Series, Jeremy explores the quiet work that happens long before anyone sees the outcome. The extra arrows, the early mornings, the workouts, the hard conversations, the decision to keep showing up when motivation disappears. Because consistency isn't glamorous, but it's where real change begins. Jeremy also gets personal, sharing a recent moment at home that forced him to take a step back and recognize where he hadn't been at his best. Watching his daughters shoot their bows became an unexpected reminder that becoming a better hunter means very little if you're not also becoming a better husband, father, and person. The work that shapes us most often happens inside the four walls of our homes, in moments nobody else sees. Consistency shapes identity. Identity shapes character. And character becomes our legacy.

What happens when a lifelong bowhunter, military aviator, and software developer sees an opportunity to make archery practice more intentional? In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Christian Kelly, creator of the Archery & 3D Scorecard app, to discuss his journey from growing up in western Pennsylvania to serving as a Blackhawk instructor pilot, and ultimately combining his passion for bowhunting with technology. Christian shares how his experiences shaped the development of an app designed to help archers track performance, analyze trends, and become more consistent behind the bow. Throughout the conversation, Jeremy and Christian dive into the importance of simplifying the practice process, using data to build confidence, and why deliberate repetition often outweighs simply shooting more arrows. They also explore the future of technology in archery, the role it can play in helping hunters improve, and how thoughtful innovation can support—not replace—the fundamentals of becoming a better bowhunter. Whether you're preparing for 3D season, dialing in for fall, or simply looking to become a more disciplined archer, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you take your shooting to the next level.

A few weeks ago, we talked about becoming the hunter the moment deserves—about the quiet work that happens long before the season begins. The early mornings, the extra arrows, the miles walked scouting, and the discipline to prepare when no one else is watching. But what if preparation isn't the destination? What if it's simply the beginning? In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy builds on that conversation by asking a question that goes far beyond whitetails: Who are you becoming because of this pursuit? Hunting has a way of revealing more than deer—it reveals our character. How do we respond when things don't go our way? What lessons do the woods teach us about patience, humility, gratitude, and resilience? In Episode 317, Jeremy reflects on the identity we're shaping through every season and challenges listeners to think beyond filled tags and antlers. Because someday the season will end, the stories will be told, and the antlers will collect dust. But the person you've become—that legacy will remain. This is a conversation about hunting, yes...but even more so, it's a conversation about becoming.

As another whitetail season begins to take shape, it's easy to get caught up in hanging trail cameras, tuning bows, and obsessing over gear. But what if the most important preseason preparation has nothing to do with what's in your pack? In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy shares a different perspective on getting ready for the season ahead—one that shifts the focus from preparing for the hunt to preparing yourself. Through stories from his own offseason, including heading into the Pennsylvania woods to hang cameras, changes to his fitness journey, and lessons learned through teaching and photography, Jeremy explores the idea that opportunity doesn't create us—it reveals us. This isn't a hunting tactics episode—it's a conversation about stewardship, discipline, and becoming the kind of hunter who is ready when the moment finally arrives. Jeremy challenges listeners to think beyond trail camera photos and gear lists, asking one simple but powerful question: Who are you becoming before the moment arrives? Whether you're counting down the days until opening morning or simply striving to become a better husband, father, friend, or hunter, this episode is an invitation to invest in the one piece of equipment that matters most: yourself.

Most archery events are about punching targets and comparing scores. Total Archery Challenge is something entirely different. In Episode 315 of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Jimmy, Tim, and the crew after an unforgettable weekend at the Pennsylvania Total Archery Challenge to relive the shots, stories, and experiences that make this event one of the most anticipated gatherings in archery. From steep terrain and demanding angles to targets that force you to trust your instincts, TAC pushes archers beyond their comfort zones and into a true test of skill, focus, and adaptability. Throughout the episode, we break down some of the course's most memorable shots—including the infamous bedded buck and a towering mule deer target stretching beyond 100 yards—while sharing the laughs, challenges, and camaraderie that unfolded along the way. We talk about the mental side of shooting, overcoming equipment issues in the field, and why the community surrounding Total Archery Challenge continues to grow year after year. Whether you're a bowhunter, competitive archer, or someone who simply loves outdoor adventure, this conversation captures what makes TAC so special: great people, unforgettable memories, and a chance to sharpen your skills while having an absolute blast in the mountains.

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.

This week’s episode is a real-time check-in as I navigate a stretch where things haven’t been clicking the way I want on the shooting side. Instead of ignoring it or pushing through blindly, I’m breaking down what’s been off, what I’m feeling, and the adjustments I’m making to get back on track as we head into a busy season. With TAC events around the corner, the next ASA shoot approaching, and turkey season kicking off, this time of year is all about managing priorities and staying grounded in the process. I also dive into some changes I’m making with my nutrition and fitness, incorporating MTN Tough workouts, and how it all ties back into performance. If you’re in a phase where things feel a little off—this one’s for you.

In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m getting real about something we all deal with—life being busy and never feeling fully “ready.” Between work, family, shooting, and preparing for the first PA ASA shoot of the season, it’s been one of those stretches where everything stacks up at once. But the truth is, that perfect window we’re all waiting for? It never really comes. This episode dives into the mindset shift that’s helped me lately—moving from “I have to” to “I get to,” and learning how to show up anyway, even when things aren’t perfect. I also break down how preparation plays a huge role in building confidence, from dialing in small details like arrow builds with Addictive Archery Co to getting my truck system organized with the ANKOR Point. These aren’t just gear upgrades—they’re ways to remove stress, stay focused, and trust your process when it’s time to perform. Whether you’re heading into a shoot, gearing up for the season, or just trying to balance everything life throws at you, this episode is all about perspective, preparation, and showing up ready anyway.

In this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down a recent weekend behind the bow where the focus wasn’t on building or changing anything but simply verifying. From dialing in sight tapes and confirming long-range accuracy to seeing just how precise the Precision Cut Archery program really is, this episode is all about removing guesswork and building real confidence in your setup. Because at this point in the season, it’s not about chasing perfection it’s about confirming what’s already there. I also dive into mistakes I’ve made in the past like over-adjusting and not verifying at distance and how those habits can quietly kill your confidence when it matters most. We talk about what it actually means to trust your setup, your process, and your execution, whether you’re preparing for TAC, ASA, or the whitetail woods. If you’ve ever questioned your gear or found yourself second-guessing a shot, this episode will help you simplify your approach, build confidence through confirmation, and step into the season ready to execute.

On this solo episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m breaking down my current bow setups and how I’ve built each one with a specific purpose in mind. With ASA season kicking off and TAC right around the corner, this is the time of year where everything starts to matter—your reps, your confidence, and the equipment in your hands. I dive into my ARC 34, which is my dedicated target and ASA rig, and why I’ve built it around stability, control, and repeatability when precision is the priority. I also walk through my ARC 30 setup, which is my go-to for TAC and hunting—built for adaptability, real-world scenarios, and executing shots when things aren’t perfect. From tuning insights to arrow builds and the mental shift between tournament shooting and hunting situations, this episode is all about understanding the “why” behind each setup. If you’re looking to dial in your gear with intention and build confidence heading into the season, this one’s for you.

On this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Jared Shaffer from Tethrd for a conversation that goes far beyond gear and mobile setups. This is a deep dive into woodsmanship — what it actually means in 2026, and why it still separates consistent killers from the rest of the crowd. Jared and I unpack the difference between being aggressive and being reckless, especially in today’s mobile hunting culture. We talk about how to read sign with intention, when not to move, and why discipline often beats constant action. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing patience and pressure in the woods, this conversation hits home. We also zoom out and dig into Jared’s personal hunting philosophy — how he plans a hunt, what guides his decisions, and the subtle habits that give him an edge season after season. From mid-season adjustments to handling doubt and slow stretches, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, not just your setup. If March is about resetting, reflecting, and refining your approach before the next season begins, this episode sets the tone. Hunt smarter. Not louder.  So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up! www.tethrdnation.com www.huntworthgear.com www.sportsmensempire.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Craftsmanship isn’t loud, it’s built quietly—one decision, one detail, one season at a time. On Episode 308 of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Craig Francis of ULTRAVIEW Archery for a conversation that goes well beyond products and releases. Craig helps shape how the brand shows up in the archery space, but more importantly, he’s thinking about standards, responsibility, and how you build trust in an industry that’s crowded with noise. We talk about craftsmanship as a mindset, how personal growth is often built through mistakes and experience, and why transparency and hunting ethics still matter when it would be easier to stay quiet. We also dig into what it really looks like to build and protect a brand behind the scenes. Craig shares the thinking behind ULTRAVIEW’s commitment to USA-made manufacturing, the realities people don’t see in product development, and why continuous improvement is baked into how they design and refine their gear. From the importance of storytelling in the hunting community to advocating for the future of the hunting industry itself, this episode is a reminder that how we build things — and how we represent this space — matters. This isn’t a product episode. It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, stewardship, and doing things the right way — in business, in the woods, and in life.
