EP. 418: A Whitetail Rodeo | Tim Palmer

On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Tim Palmer—a hunter, outdoorsman, and former professional rodeo rider. We dig into what it takes to balance a relentless passion for hunting with the rest of life, drawing on lessons Tim’s learned from both the rodeo arena and the woods. His journey from chasing adrenaline as a pro rider to finding a deeper connection with the outdoors through hunting and fishing is as inspiring as it is unique. Tim shares how he’s cultivated a mindset of adaptability, from transitioning between hunting seasons to managing the highs and lows of chasing big bucks. We break down the contrasts between ground hunting and tree setups, with Tim offering practical insights on how each approach fits different situations. He also reflects on how his experiences in the rodeo world taught him resilience and focus, qualities that now fuel his success in the field. We dive into some incredible stories, including his adventures this season and the thrill of tagging an impressive buck in the plaines with the Whitetail Adrenaline guys. He talks about aggressive tactics, the role of trail cameras, and why trusting your instincts—whether on the back of a bronc or hunting a mature buck—can make all the difference. This episode is packed with lessons on grit, simplicity, and living a life that prioritizes what really matters. You won’t want to miss it.
