Summary

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by Brian Dombrowski—a guy who’s put in more than his fair share of miles chasing deer across a range of terrain, from flatlands to big woods. We dive deep into what makes mature bucks tick, how scouting plays a role beyond trail cams, and why visual confirmation still trumps digital data. Brian shares his approach to patterning deer by behavior, not just sign, and we get into everything from the strategic use of mock scrapes to the rising cost of deer mounts and the real reason some guys just burn out. We also hit on the value of solitude, instinct, and pushing yourself past the easy button in both public and private land settings. This one’s for the folks who are still grinding and still learning—season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 440 Scouting and understanding deer movement Simple strategies often beat overcomplicated setups Property lines and public/private dynamics Mature bucks don’t move like the rest Early scrapes, bedding shifts, and dominant does Hunting alone sharpens your instincts, but burnout is real SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: —⁠⁠⁠Truth From The Stand Merch⁠⁠⁠ —Check out ⁠⁠⁠Tactacam Reveal⁠⁠⁠ cell cameras — Save 15% on ⁠⁠⁠Hawke Optics⁠⁠⁠ code TFTS15 —Save 20% on⁠⁠⁠ ASIO GEAR⁠⁠⁠ code TRUTH20 —Save on ⁠⁠⁠Lathrop And Sons⁠⁠⁠ non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out ⁠⁠⁠Faceoff E-Bikes⁠⁠⁠ —⁠⁠⁠Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.
