Why Slowing Down Might Be Your Best Hunting Strategy Yet | Jason Redd

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Truth From The Stand Podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by Jason Redd, and we dive into one of those conversations that feels a little more like sitting around a fire than checking boxes on a hunting talk list. We cover everything from the pressure that comes with modern technology and constant communication, to how learning to unplug—both in the woods and in life—can reset your mindset in a good way. Jason shares how his approach to hunting has shifted over time, especially as he's taken on the challenge of chasing deer in low-density areas where patience, grit, and strategy really matter. We also get into how your instincts tend to sharpen the more time you spend in the woods, and how sometimes success comes down to timing, adaptability, and a little bit of luck. This one’s about the long game—learning from your hunts, trusting your gut, and remembering that the hunt is about a lot more than just punching a tag. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 443 Disconnecting from tech isn’t just good for your brain—it’s good for your hunting too. Chasing deer in low-density areas teaches a whole different kind of patience and grit. The older you get, the more your strategies shift from aggressive to calculated. Sometimes the smartest move you can make is slowing down and trusting your gut. Hunting the Carolinas means dealing with tough terrain and even tougher deer—but the reward is worth it. Success often hinges more on timing, discipline, and knowing the land than motivation or gear. At the end of the day, it’s not just about filling a tag—it’s about learning something every time you step into the woods.
