Luke sits down with Max in the mancave to swap stories from an action-packed stretch of hunts. Max kicks things off with a recap of his Colorado rifle mule deer trip, where he and his family got a close encounter with a great public-land buck—but the hunt takes a tough turn when the shot doesn’t connect as hoped. Then the guys shift gears to whitetail season in Missouri, where the rut is heating up. Luke shares the story of multiple close calls with his target buck, and just hours before recording, he finally got an arrow in him. With the outcome still uncertain, the two talk through the shot, tracking plans, and the rollercoaster that is deer season.
