In the Hunt Breakdown, we are in studio again to have a full in depth look at the rifle hunt in the pouring rain that lead to Cody harvesting a nice public land mountain buck during the last week of rifle season here in Pennsylvania!

We also discuss the mental side of things from going from two bucks missing or not able to recover during archery season. Some close encounters but nothing in range during the rut. To then still feeling postive enough to go out in the pouring rain when in all reality no one should have been out there.
