In this episode of The Mobile Hunters Dojo, host Nolan Taylor sits down with Ryan Glitsky—better known as “Moose”—to unpack his evolution as a whitetail hunter. Moose reflects on his early days in Pennsylvania, beginning with casual rifle hunts with his father before bowhunting became a full-blown obsession. Over three decades, he’s shifted from consuming mainstream tactics to developing a self-taught, boots-on-the-ground approach rooted in relentless scouting and personal experience. He explains how the true reward isn't always the harvest—it's the high that comes from uncovering a new bedding area, interpreting sign correctly, and seeing your predictions play out in the woods. Moose also opens up about how deer hunting shaped his mindset, describing how his work ethic, family support, and gym discipline all play a role in keeping his hunting lifestyle sustainable.

The conversation turns deeply introspective as Moose discusses the spiritual connection he’s formed through years in the mountains. He describes how hunting has become a form of church, where he feels guided by a higher power during solo post-season scouts. From recognizing burnout and stepping away from big-buck pressure to re-centering himself as a pure deer hunter, Moose shares how staying true to yourself—on and off social media—is the key to longevity. Listeners will also hear valuable rut tactics, including how to identify and hunt "weak spots" in bedding areas and apply hybrid strategies in the mountains when conditions vary. Whether you're a seasoned public land hunter or just starting out, this episode is packed with actionable insight and grounded perspective.
