We wanted to do something special for our 200th episode, so we gathered 3 men who not only kill nice bucks consistently - but who kill a truly higher quality of deer than is typical for their area. We grill them on what it is that helps them kill the biggest bucks in their local public lands, sign reading, pressure reading, finding the deer, persistence it takes to get it done, and the process they went through to become the hunters they are today - and how you can do the same.
