Summary

In this solo episode, Jeremy Dinsmore checks in from the heart of Pennsylvania’s October woods to share where his 2025 season stands so far. From early-season encounters to the sting of a neighbor tagging the mature buck he’d been watching all summer, Jeremy breaks down the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way. He unpacks how shifting food sources, scrape activity, and cold fronts are changing deer movement and what that means for his next moves as the pre-rut kicks in. Jeremy also revisits some of his favorite past Antler Up conversations from hunters like Steve Sherk Jr., Brandon Barlow, Rich Yoder, and Beau Martonik—using their October insights on patience, pressure, and adaptability to frame his own mid-season mindset. He wraps up with a look ahead at his plans for late-October in PA, rut hunts at camp, and his upcoming Ohio trip before rifle season. Whether you’re grinding through the lull or gearing up for the rut, this episode delivers real-time perspective from the middle of the season. 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://deerassociation.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
