Summary

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by two great friends—Rob Mendoza and Jared Shaffer—for a conversation that goes beyond gear and tactics. We recorded this one while on a quick trip to Maryland, where we spent some much-needed time in the woods together and shot a local 3D archery course. It was a weekend filled with laughs, learning, and a deeper appreciation for what this lifestyle is really all about. In this episode, we dive into how hunting continues to shape our lives—not just as a pursuit, but as a way to build stronger friendships, create unforgettable memories, and stay grounded in something real. From sharing early season plans to reflecting on how hunting has transformed each of us, this one’s all about the camaraderie, growth, and connection that happens when you step outside and chase something bigger than yourself. If you’ve ever come back from a hunt feeling more alive, this one will hit home. 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.
