EP. 419: Close Encounters And Hard Truths | Zack Robb

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Stache Squatch for a conversation that dives deep into the heart of deer hunting. We trade stories about close calls and near misses, unpack the realities of balancing family commitments with time in the woods, and reflect on the thrill that comes from matching wits with whitetails.

Stache Squatch brings his unique perspective to the table, sharing what he’s learned from hunting both public and private land. We talk about setting realistic expectations for the season and why it’s important to focus on the experience over the end result. From the value of mentorship and sharpening woodsmanship skills to the insights trail cameras can provide, this episode is packed with practical advice and lessons from the field.

We also dig into the art of hunting specific deer, the quirks of their behavior, and the strategies that can make all the difference. Whether it’s using technology to your advantage or learning from every encounter, this conversation is a reminder that the joy of hunting isn’t just in filling a tag—it’s in the process, the challenge, and the connection to the outdoors.
