On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Curtis Reynolds of Ontario about a seven year chase for a big six point buck. Curtis shares where this buck lives, the terrain he called home, and how he kept track of this deer over the years. As a 5 1/2 year old, Curtis had an opportunity but missed the shot.

After relocating this buck, Curtis was able to put a plan together, and the rest is history. Listen along for the whole story! Enjoy and share!
