This is where it all began. Joe and his son Jack walk through two of their bucks they've taken this year in the South Carolina river swamp. And Joe finally sits down to tell the story of the river swamp buck "The Nomad" that he's been after for five years.

If you don't know The Nomad's story:

For five years, The Nomad was nothing more than a ghost on a trail camera. He only existed in pictures. Joe has watched him grow, studied his patterns, and chased the mystery of a buck he had never actually laid eyes on. Until a few weeks ago.

The hardest hunt Joe has ever faced, finally come to an end. Five years of history came down to one hunt, one opportunity, and one final encounter with the buck that had become an obsession, not only for Joe, but for everyone who knew his story.

It's a hell of a story. Check it out.
