About this listen

 The High Ground Podcast is a hunting podcast focused on earning the advantage long before the shot. It's about preparation, discipline, and the mindset required to consistently put yourself in the right position when it matters most. Each episode dives into real hunting experiences, lessons learned in the field, and the strategies that help hunters read terrain, understand animal behavior, and adapt under pressure. From scouting and setup decisions tp patience and mental toughness, The High Ground is about achieving more than success: it's about earning it. Whether you're chasing elk, mule deer, or simply chasing improvement, The High Ground challenges hunters to elevate their approach in the field and in life.

    On today’s episode of The High Ground Podcast, we break down archery setups and the importance of confidence in your gear. Whatever bow, arrow, or release you take into the field, it should be something you trust completely. Now is the time to experiment—fine-tune your setup, make adjustments, and try new options before the season arrives. We also discuss why we choose the equipment we do and how those choices have shaped our hunting style and decisions in the field.
