Jody Maddock is a dedicated bow hunter and a true legend in the whitetail community, with one of the most incredible great rooms you’ll ever see.

Jody explains why hunting, though counterintuitive, is vital for conservation—funding anti-poaching, managing wildlife, and reducing deer-vehicle collisions.

He shares the demanding preparation hunting requires, why he taxidermies his animals as stories, and unforgettable close calls with a Cape buffalo, musk ox, grizzly, his rare piebald deer, and the joys of being a grandfather.
