Hey guys Jacob Emery here! Owner of DO3 Outdoors and now “The Hunting Dad Podcast” I appreciate you tuning in and hopefully you can take something away from me, or a guest on this show.
This week on The Hunting Dad Podcast, I sit down with Sam Ubl for one of my favorite conversations of the season.
Sam shares his journey from outdoor writing and filming with Whitetail Adrenaline to building Chase Nation, while diving into the hunting lessons that completely changed his approach to mature bucks. We discuss the dangers of egos in hunting, the concept of “imposter syndrome,” learning from mentors like Dan Infalt, and why being willing to challenge your own beliefs can accelerate your success in the woods.
We also spend plenty of time talking about one of our favorite topics—boat access hunting. From dragging bucks out by canoe in Minnesota and Wisconsin to using kayaks and small boats to access overlooked public land, Sam explains why water access remains one of the most effective tools for finding unpressured deer.
To wrap things up, we trade stories from our first-ever Nebraska mule deer hunts, discuss what surprised us most about hunting mule deer, and share lessons learned from chasing deer across the Sandhills and western prairies.
If you’re a public land hunter looking to improve, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons and real-world experience.
