Tips to kill a big, mature buck on purpose
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
This is a solo episode I ripped off on the way to my first scouting trip of the 2024 hunting season, specifically focusing on scouting season. Killing a big buck and killing a big buck on purpose are two different things, I'm finding. It's my main focus lately and one big accomplishment I haven't done many times. Good luck this summer!

*One of the few episodes with an "ad" or promo code. Gulo Outdoors was kind enough to offer their booth space for the podcast. It was the least we could do to say thanks.
