EP. 427: Adapting To Pressure | Mature Buck Strategies | Cameron Derr

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Cam to talk about some big life changes—his recent engagement, a new farm, and, of course, chasing big deer. We break down the lessons learned from hunting in the plains, the importance of reading deer behavior, and why sticking to a plan can be just as important as knowing when to adapt.

Cam also shares the story of an Ohio mega buck, the struggles of hunting pressured ground, and how he shifted strategies to zero in on a new target. We wrap things up with reflections on past hunts, his new role at Hawk Optics, and how preparation—both in the woods and in life—makes all the difference
