Ep. 21- Zack Robb aka Stache Squatch

In this episode Derek talks with Lone Wolf Custom Gear team member, Zack Robb. Zach is from central Virginia and has transitioned from somewhat agricultural hunting land to more rigorous mountain terrain. This challenging terrain has really inspired Zack to push himself and learn to hunt mountain bucks. 

Zack starts with a story about the first buck he was able to observe bump from a bed, then make a game plan to gain intel on the buck, and eventually set up to kill the buck. Zack used a few different tactics including knowledge of buck bedding tendencies, mock scrape intel with a trail cam, and a bump and dump after heading in to hunt the buck bed but jumping a doe group on his way in. 

We transition the conversation into hunting the rugged mountain terrain and how he went about scouting a somewhat monotonous terrain to locate and hunt a giant old 8 point. Zack talks about the importance of locating historical and signpost rubs, pushing into the cover when you know pressure is mounting on the edges, and the power of the first time sit. 

We cover many different small learning moments in this episode and finish out with one that got away that intertwines Zack’s rub stories with a giant old 10 point that ended up getting shot by a fellow mountain hunter over 4 miles away.
