Bonus episode. Beau Martonik sits down with Todd Bumgardner of Packmule Training Co., a performance coach who’s trained NFL linebackers, special operators, and a lot of hunters. Todd wrote an article for the East Meets West journal last October on managing your body and mindset through the whitetail rut, and this is the conversation behind it.
The rut is mostly long sits and patience, waiting on one moment that happens fast. This one is about the small stuff that decides whether you’re sharp when it does.
In this episode:
Why the rut wears you down, and why it matters going into the holidays
Being a body in the tree vs. actually hunting
Stress, and sending an arrow into the next zip code
A quick joint routine at the truck before you walk in
Why 2% dehydration hurts your thinking, and why water keeps you warmer
What Beau carries for an all day sit
Keeping blood sugar steady without giving up the snack cakes
Taking a break when you’re smoked, and a midday nap in the tree
Sleeping better when the nights are short
Prepping stand food the night before
