EP.449: Unplug, Hunt Harder | Cody D’Acquisto

Truth From The Stand Deer Hunting Podcast

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I’m joined by my buddy Cody D’Acquisto for a conversation that digs deep into more than just treestand setups and big bucks on the wall. Cody’s fresh off the road and gearing up for his upcoming road show, and we break down what it means to really unplug from the noise and lean into the lessons the woods — and the mats — have to offer. We get into how elimination and identification shape our hunting decisions, why mastering the fundamentals matters whether you’re tightening a choke in jiu jitsu or slipping an arrow through a buck’s ribs, and how the right mindset can make or break your hunt before you ever lace up your boots.

Cody shares what he’s seeing out there, where he’s headed next, and why the pressure we carry these days sometimes needs to be left at the truck. It’s an honest look at discipline, flow state, and why the best lessons still come from just showing up, putting in the work, and staying present enough to enjoy the whole damn ride.
