In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitchell sits down with Pennsylvania hunter Tom Runscavage for a thoughtful conversation about hunting, family life, and the challenge of staying passionate about the outdoors when time becomes limited. With young kids at home and another on the way, Tom shares how his perspective on deer hunting has evolved over the years—from chasing every opportunity in the woods to learning how to prioritize family, responsibilities, and the few hunting opportunities he still gets each season.

From the pressures of limited time to the importance of hunting efficiently and keeping expectations realistic, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that success in the woods often comes down to doing the basics well and remembering why we hunt in the first place.

Antler Up - Woodsmanship In A World of Shortcuts w/ Jared Shaffer Mar 11, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Jared Shaffer from Tethrd for a conversation that goes far beyond gear and mobile setups. This is a deep dive into woodsmanship — what it actually means in 2026, and why it still separates consistent killers from the rest of the crowd.

Jared and I unpack the difference between being aggressive and being reckless, especially in today’s mobile hunting culture. We talk about how to read sign with intention, when not to move, and why discipline often beats constant action. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing patience and pressure in the woods, this conversation hits home.

We also zoom out and dig into Jared’s personal hunting philosophy — how he plans a hunt, what guides his decisions, and the subtle habits that give him an edge season after season. From mid-season adjustments to handling doubt and slow stretches, this episode is about sharpening your thinking, not just your setup.

If March is about resetting, reflecting, and refining your approach before the next season begins, this episode sets the tone. Hunt smarter. Not louder.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!
