In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Chris Weist, a Pennsylvania native with deep roots in both hunting and competitive powerlifting. We cover a lot of ground in this one—from what it means to chase big deer on pressured ground to what it takes to recover from serious injuries and still get after it.

Chris shares the story of his first deer, what he learned growing up in a hunting family, and how the lessons from the gym carry over into the woods. We talk about the mental side of training, how injuries like a torn pec tendon shift your perspective, and why being mindful in both your training and your time afield matters more than you think.

We also dive into scouting, the difference between hunting with a compound and a trad bow, and why post-season prep is where the real work gets done. If you’re into the grind of deer hunting and the grit it takes to stay in the game—whether you're in the gym or up a tree—this one’s for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 433

Postseason scouting is key to staying ahead of big deer.
Long-term observation and knowing how wind and thermals move through a spot pays dividends
Traditional bowhunting forces you to slow down, get close, and think like a deer
Good hunting isn’t about body counts—it’s about time in the woods and what you learn from it
Training and recovery off-season matters just as much as boot time when the rut hits
Injury or not, showing up and staying in the game speaks volumes about passion and grit
