Tips to kill a big, mature buck on purpose Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

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!
