In hunting and fishing, we often learn hard lessons by the proverbial, "one that got away". The buck we missed, the trophy fish that broke off either at the boat or when it wrapped around a submerged tree. Every failure that we face in the outdoors or in life is the making of a lesson that might change our lives.

On today's program, we join our host and his guest as they spend a few days hunting Illinois' trophy whitetails in the Golden Triangle. Dean had spent much of his life dreaming of hunting this hallowed whitetail ground and his error in judgement cost him the possibility of fulfilling his dream.
