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

    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 better hunters that sometimes we forget what actually makes hunting special. The people. Someday, you may look back and realize the hunts you miss the most aren't the ones where you killed the biggest deer. They're the mornings with your dad, your grandpa, your kids, or that old hunting buddy who isn't sitting beside you anymore. In this episode of Before the Echo, I want to talk about perspective, getting older, hunting with our kids, appreciating the people around us, and remembering that none of us know how many hunting seasons we have left together. Don't get so caught up trying to make memories that you forget you're already living them. If this episode makes you think of an old hunting buddy, give them a call.

    #261 - I’m Done Hunting Deer Like Everyone Else

    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 I should be doing. We’ll talk about hunting pressure, mobile hunting, overthinking setups, trusting your instincts, and why sometimes becoming a better deer hunter means doing LESS — not more. If you’ve ever felt like deer hunting has become way more complicated than it needs to be, this episode is for you.

    #260 - What Are You Actually Trying to Accomplish This Deer Season?

    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 • Outcome goals vs. goals you can actually control • Becoming a better deer hunter instead of simply hunting more • Why we shouldn't let social media change our standards • Hunting new areas and getting outside our comfort zones • Balancing deer hunting with family and the things that matter most • Why killing a buck doesn't have to determine whether your season was successful Obviously, I want to kill a mature buck. We all want to punch a tag. But I don't want one dead deer to determine whether hundreds of hours spent scouting, hunting, learning, and making memories were worth it. So here's my question for you: **What is YOUR #1 goal for this deer season—and it can't just be “kill a big buck”?** Drop it in the comments. I want to hear it. 🔥 BEFORE THE ECHO PARTNERS 🔥 🏹 LATITUDE OUTDOORS https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/ Use code **BTE** 🦌 ASIO GEAR https://asiogear.com/ Use code **ECHO15** 🔭 HAWKE OPTICS https://www.hawkeoptics.com/ Use code **BTE** If you enjoy honest conversations about public-land deer hunting, bowhunting, scouting, and becoming a better deer hunter, subscribe to Before the Echo

    Episode #26 - Jesus Was Never Out of Control | John 18

    John 18 takes us into one of the darkest nights in the Gospel of John—but through every moment, we see that Jesus is still completely in control.In this episode of Rooted & Raised, we walk through John 18 together, beginning with Jesus’ arrest in the garden and the incredible moment when the soldiers step back and fall to the ground after He says, “I am He.”We also look at Peter’s attempt to defend Jesus with a sword, Peter’s three denials, Jesus’ questioning before the high priest, and His powerful conversation with Pilate about His Kingdom and the truth.There’s a huge contrast throughout this chapter: Peter is afraid, religious leaders are plotting, Pilate is conflicted, and the crowd chooses Barabbas—but Jesus remains steady through it all.John 18 reminds us that Jesus wasn’t simply a victim of the events happening around Him. He knew what was coming, willingly stepped forward, and continued toward the cross.In this episode, we discuss:• Why did the soldiers fall to the ground when Jesus said, “I am He”?• Why did Jesus stop Peter from fighting?

    #259 - What I’d Do If I Had ZERO Hunting Spots This Season

    What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and EVERY hunting spot you had was gone? No permission. No familiar public-land spots. No backup property. You’re starting completely from ZERO. In this episode of Before the Echo, I’m breaking down exactly what I would do to find new places to hunt and still have a successful deer season. We’ll talk about finding overlooked public land, knocking on doors for permission, using your network, scouting new ground quickly, and why learning how to FIND good hunting spots may be more valuable than having one great property. 🎁 PLUS — THE FIRST GIVEAWAY STARTS TODAY! One person is going to win a pair of Hawke Vantage HD binoculars! Watch the episode to find out how to enter. Let me know in the comments: If you lost ALL of your hunting spots tomorrow, would you start on PUBLIC LAND or start knocking on doors for PRIVATE PERMISSION — and WHY? 🔥 BEFORE THE ECHO PARTNERS 🔥 🏹 LATITUDE OUTDOORS https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com Use code BTE 🦌 ASIO GEAR https://asiogear.com Use code ECHO15 🔭 HAWKE OPTICS https://us.hawkeoptics.com Use code BTE If you enjoy honest conversations about deer hunting, public land, scouting, hunting gear, and becoming a better hunter, make sure you SUBSCRIBE to Before the Echo and join us each week.

    #258 - 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Deer Hunting

    After years of deer hunting, I’ve realized that some of the advice I once treated like gospel probably made hunting harder than it needed to be.In this episode of Before the Echo, I’m breaking down 10 things I wish I knew earlier about deer hunting—from hunting pressure and wind direction to gear, stand locations, mature bucks, and waiting for the “perfect” conditions.Some of these are lessons I learned the hard way.The biggest takeaway? There are very few absolute rules in deer hunting. What works on one property, for one hunter, or for one buck might be completely wrong somewhere else.Whether you’re brand new to deer hunting or you’ve been chasing whitetails for decades, hopefully there’s something here that makes you think differently about how you approach the woods this fall.Drop a comment: What’s one piece of deer hunting advice you wish you would’ve ignored?🤝 BEFORE THE ECHO PARTNERSLatitude Outdoors — Mobile hunting gear, saddles, climbing sticks, platforms & packsUse code BTEShop Latitude OutdoorsASIO Gear — Purpose-built whitetail hunting apparelUse code ECHO15Shop ASIO GearHawke Optics — Binoculars, rangefinders, scopes & hunting opticsUse code BTEShop Hawke OpticsThank you to these companies for supporting Before the Echo and helping make this content possible.If you enjoy the episode, subscribe to Before the Echo, hit the like button, and share it with another deer hunter.Same woods.

    #256 - This Deer Sign Matters More Than Rubs & Scrapes

    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 isn't to find the MOST deer sign. It's to find the sign that actually tells you where a buck is coming from, where he's going, and how you can kill him. If you're scouting public land or trying to get tighter to mature bucks this season, this is one you'll want to hear.
