If you've listened to this show you are familiar with a couple of my Australian friends, Joel Fulton and Daniel Mummery. A couple months ago, Daniel was able to get his first sambar deer stag. In early August, he and Joel went deep into the backcountry by bicycle and Joel was up on the trigger this time. With Daniel having some back trouble, they weren't sure how the hunt would go and some doubts started to creep in. All of a sudden, God decided to give them a gift.

David Nelson from Texas joins me on the show today to tell an incredible story from Africa. We hear some of his stories growing up in Texas and then we dive into a hunt that didn't go as expected. Cape Buffalo can be an extremely dangerous animal to hunt and David unpacks the story today. We also hear some life lessons this taught David and you'll benefit from them.

Today I'm joined by a local whitetail legend named Rich Wynn. Rich wouldn't call himself a legend. He'd just say he's been blessed. He's been able to harvest quite a few Ohio big bucks along with some from other states as well. Today he shares some of these stories along with his first elk with a recurve bow and the time he had to run down and tackle an antelope! 

We also get into the story of how his son fell out of a tree stand and how that forever changed their lives.  Please listen until the end!

***Correction, I say episode 218...it's 217. My bad. Carry on.***

For 20 years my Australian friend Daniel Mummery has chased Sambar deer and had hoped to take a stag with antlers. And for 20 years, it hasn't panned out. With limited time to hunt and a critter that is very elusive, opportunities have been few and far between. That is...until a couple weeks ago. Daniel comes on to tell the special story and how his 78 year old dad was along for the journey.
