I'm super excited to announce the launch of the Truth From The Stand (TFTS) Deer Hunting Podcast! I've been looking forward to launching this project for a while and am pumped that I can finally share it with all of you. With that said, I wanted to quickly explain what a podcast is for those unfamiliar. Simply put, it is an online radio show that can be listened to on your computer and mobile devices, including your phone. The best thing about podcasts is you can subscribe to them through iTunes and other podcast providers. This way each new episode will automatically be loaded to the device of your choosing (computer, tablet or phone), so you'll never miss an episode. I personally subscribe to several podcasts, they're great to listen to during daily commutes, mowing the grass, shoveling snow, or killing time at work! So what's the Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast all about? As you can imagine...DEER HUNTING! I'll be joined by my good friend Phil Marchek who also suffers from whitetail addiction. And I'm sure you'll enjoy what he brings to the show. The content of the show will focus on all things deer and deer hunting. Every month we'll post a new podcast covering a wide range of topics focused on news, stories and hunting tips. Phil and I will also share our own experiences discussing our most recent whitetail related activities, successes, failures...and at times our embarrassments. We'll also plan to bring on guests...and who knows, we may have listeners join as a guest to share their own hunting stories and experiences!

Most hunters dream of filling a tag on a great deer during the season, let alone two within the first 2 weeks of the season. Rick Kiely of New York did just that. Rick hunts a combination of small parcel and public land. This October he had the magic touch taking two great bucks while going against the grain and hunting mornings, and resisting the urge to hunt old familiar places. He broke out of his comfort zone and changed his game this summer seeking new stand locations and was rewarded. If the two bucks weren't enough, his instagram feed is full of videos of shooters he filmed on stand after tagging out! To listen to the podcast click the orange play button at the top of the page.

Today on the show I'm joined by Curtis Zabel of Behind The Bow. Curtis is a Wisconsin native, who to say the very least is a passionate whitetail hunter and filmer. If you don't already know of him, chances are you'll be hearing a lot from him and about him in the near future. He's already been featured on some heavyweight blogs within the outdoor/hunting circles. Curtis represents the next great group of passionate, DIY, public land deer hunters and story tellers. This isn't to say that he hasn't already arrived. Curtis' relentless pursuit of his whitetail goals, combined with this woodsmanship and whitetail knowledge, are only nearly matched by his ability to capture the raw passion and the grind public land whitetail hunters endure through his camera lens. "Stay hungry, stay humble" is the most fitting mantra for Curtis and Behind The Bow. To listen to the podcast click the orange play button at the top of the page.
