Summary

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good buddy Tom Runscavage for another solid conversation that blends gear talk, hunting prep, and real-life perspective. Tom is always dialed in, and in this episode, we cover everything from his ramp-up for an upcoming elk hunt to the ever-evolving landscape of saddle hunting gear. We also dive into the strategy behind trail camera deployment and why staying sharp—physically and mentally—is becoming a non-negotiable part of our routines. Tom and I also get into how the hunting world is changing with the influx of new technology, the saturation of content, and what still cuts through the noise. More than anything, this episode is a great reminder that while the gear and tactics matter, nothing beats having a solid support system at home and taking time to enjoy the journey. Whether you're dialing in for September or just need a relatable hunting conversation, this one’s for you. Antler Up! So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up! www.antlerupoutdoors.com www.tethrdnation.com www.huntworthgear.com www.sportsmensempire.com https://thebowtiquellc.com/ Our Sponsors: * Check out Thompson Cigars and use my code SE for a great deal: https://thompsoncigar.com * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code EMPIRE25 for a great deal: https://www.trollco.com/hunting Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
