Antler Up - Reflecting & Motivation Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

This week, Jeremy sits down for a reflective and honest solo episode to close out the 2025 season and open the door to what’s coming in 2026. He talks about learning patience, becoming more of a weekend warrior as family priorities shift, and why this season — despite fewer big-buck encounters — helped him grow more than he expected.

Jeremy shares the full story of his rut encounter, the missed shot that ignited a 2018-level fire inside him, and the second-day rifle tradition with his buddy Jim that reminded him why hunting is so much more than antlers and grip-and-grins.

He also opens up about areas he wants to improve, how he plans to attack the offseason, and what listeners can expect from the completely revamped Antler Up Podcast starting in January.

This is a raw, grounded, and motivating look at the season — and a preview of what’s ahead.
