Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast Clint Campbell

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Eddie Claypool. Eddie has been chasing DIY hunts and animals across the country since the late 70’s. You could say he’s the original DIY bowhunter. He’s lived the hay day of whitetail hunting in the midwest and hunted the best of the west for the better part of 40 years. Even though DIY blood runs through his veins, he’s changed his approach the past few years - time changes everyone and everything. You could say he pauses now to smell the roses. There’s wisdom in experience and age. And sometimes the best wisdom has less to do with how to fill tags and more to do with the importance of being in the moment…maybe it’s a cautionary tale of what might be slipping away from us. This might be a good reminder to breathe deep, and soak it all in as we kick off the season - thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Dr. Bronson Strickland of Mississippi State University Deer Lab. Dr. Strickland and his team are always performing whitetail research to better understand their worlds - in today’s episode we’re diving into scrape research. What I like most about talking with Dr. Strickland is he can articulate things we may see as hunters but not fully understand. While keeping facts at the forefront, shedding light on hunting myths or adding validity to hunter observation. As a hunter and a deer biologist, he’s well positioned to understand the desires of hunters, while taking an scientific approach to understanding the animals we love to chase. - thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Johnny Utah Mulligan. John has been jet setting hunting all over the world since the last time we had a chance to catch up. In addition to his hunting travels he embarked on competing in his first tactical games. If you know John’s background as a former undercover narcotics cop and his love of fitness, then you know this shooting CrossFit games style of competition is up his alley. As if that wasn’t challenging enough…my dude starting training Jiu Jitsu too! Awesome catching up with my buddy…and I’m stoked that he’s living his best life. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Dan Tutor. Dan hunts the islands off the coast of Maine. I’ve always had an interest in island hunting but two things that held me back was …water access via the sea/bay (seems dicey and borderline stupid for someone who didn’t grow up around the ocean) and giving up a mid west hunt to hunt the north east where they’re not known for great whitetail hunting (compared to the midwest). Well…I still may not have my sea legs, but Dan has hauled in a few deer that put to rest any concerns of the caliber of bucks you can find on the islands. I hope you all dig this session as much as I did…I think I might be an Island hunter in the future!

Today I’m joined by my buddy Chris Derrick. Anytime Chris is on you can count on two things…A season is just about to open. And Sitka Gear has recently dropped brand new kit advancing their already bullet proof systems. Over time Sitka has continued to evolve their systems including different applications of Merino Wool. As awesome as Merino wool is for base layers, in its natural form it may not be the best material for outer layers until now. As always Sitka delivering on the needs of the hunter with in-field usability, stealth, and a new approach to merino able to withstand the abuse of grueling hunts season after season …hope you all dig the session it as much as I did.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Mario Trafficante. Mario and I met and realized we had way more in common than our passion for bowhunting. We both recognize the larger patterns in our lives that complement each other, drives our passion, our curiosity, and at times creativity. If you allow it, hunting can enrich your life beyond the tree stand. And the same can be said that anything you're passionate about can positively influence your hunting. Like most things in life, mindset and how you process the world around you is everything. Mario is not just a great hunter, but he gets it…the pursuit of experiences, the quest for knowledge, to make him a better hunter…but ultimately a better human. One of my favorite conversations in recent memory…hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
