The rut is heating up, and this week’s episode of The Watering Hole is packed with wild stories from the woods.

With Todd still chasing mule deer in Colorado, Justin and Ben break down one of the craziest weekends of the season — from quiet sits and zero wind to back-to-back shots, bad hits, and a long night of tracking. Joey’s rollercoaster hunt has it all: a gut check moment, drone talk, and a tracking dog adventure that ends with one buck recovered and one still missing.

Plus, Justin shares the story behind The Willand Buck, a 10-year-old Illinois legend finally tagged by his longtime hunting buddy, Mike. From over a decade of trail cam pics to shed antlers and countless encounters, this is a deer story you won’t forget.
