Guest: Jacob Sklenar / Episode 89

In this episode, Alex sits down with Jacob Sklenar to break down a whitetail season that demanded adaptability—both in the woods and mentally. Jacob shares how his Kansas hunt challenged his expectations, forcing him to quickly adapt to unfamiliar terrain, pressure, and deer behavior that didn’t match the playbook. Jakes talk through how deer movement and patterns shifted from early season into the rut, and why being willing to abandon a plan can be the difference between success and frustration. The conversation also dives into the mental side of deer hunting—handling slow sits, watching others tag deer, and keeping the right attitude when things aren’t going your way. Jacob then walks us through his Wisconsin season, a roller coaster that tested his patience, but ultimately paid off through persistence and hard work. This episode is all about adapting on the fly, staying mentally strong, and continuing to grind when the season doesn’t unfold the way you expect. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy.
