Summary
On this episode of Exodus Podcast, we sit down with Pennsylvania native Chris Weist. Chris shares his experience transitioning from compound to traditional archery while using a saddle, as well as his findings on post-season scouting, the use of vine scrapes as an inventory tool, the importance of calculated decisions in hunting, and paying attention to details.
- Transitioning to traditional archery takes time and practice
- Saddle hunting with a stick bow
- You need five years of practice to feel confident hunting with traditional archery equipment
- Identifying pinch points where shots are limited to 20 yards
- Taking time to make decisions in the heat of the moment
- Using vine scrapes to help with buck inventory
- Hunting early season can lead to better pattern recognition
- Be patient and slow down in the moment
- Being an opportunist is sometimes necessary
- Learning from other hunters and seeking advice can elevate hunting skills
- Social media has become a double-edged sword for hunters
- Consistency is key when it comes to posting content on Instagram
- Social media and external validation can take away from the joy of hunting
- Positive mindset and mental toughness are essential for competing at a high level
