EP. 421: Adaptability, Woodsmanship, and Bold Moves | Ty Jennings

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Ty Jennings, a hunter who brings a wealth of experience from Central New York’s diverse terrain. Ty grew up steeped in hunting culture, learning the ropes from his family and evolving into a skilled public land hunter. We cover his journey through changing techniques and tools, including how technology like trail cameras fits into the balance between modern hunting and old-school woodsmanship.

Ty breaks down his approach to chasing specific deer, emphasizing the importance of understanding terrain, habitat, and how weather impacts movement. We dive deep into strategies like wind manipulation, choosing access routes, and knowing when to push aggressively versus when to hang back. Ty even shares the story of the F9 Buck—an encounter full of hard lessons and valuable takeaways.

We also explore the differences between ground hunting and hunting elevated in a tree, debating their advantages and how they play into different hunting scenarios. Throughout the conversation, Ty’s passion for bow hunting, curiosity, and adaptability shines, offering insights for hunters of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned woodsman or just getting started, this episode has something for everyone.
