In this episode of the Truth from the Stand Deer Hunting Podcast, I’m sitting down with my buddy Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline to dig deep into what it takes to consistently get after whitetails. We break down the tough balance of keeping up with hunting while managing personal life and how adapting to unpredictable field conditions is non-negotiable. We get into the real pressures hunters are feeling on public lands and the art of ground hunting, where every step is critical. Mistakes? Jared talks about how they’re part of the process and why learning from them is key to long-term success.
Jared also shares his thoughts on how hunting has evolved—whether it’s new archery techniques or capturing the essence of the hunt on film. It’s more than just the shot; it’s the mindset, the storytelling, and the awareness that makes a great hunt. We chat about the psychological side of hunting, those missed opportunities that make you better, and the craft of producing quality content that resonates with fellow hunters.
Jared opens up about working with filming partners, staying adaptable in the field, and how visualization helps him prepare for each hunt. As we head into the season, Jared’s focus is on staying authentic, hunting smart, and telling real stories that connect with viewers. Tune in for a conversation that’s all about evolving as a hunter and pushing your limits.
