In this episode, I sit down with Cody Idol, a man whose name is synonymous with whitetail history and high-stakes antler collecting. I dive straight into the headline-grabbing deal that shook the hunting world: Cody’s role as the broker for the legendary "The General" sheds—a transaction that culminated in a staggering $1 million sale.

Cody shares the inside story of navigating such a massive deal and the pressure of handling what many consider the greatest typical antlers ever grown. I also explore the deep-rooted legacy Cody carries as the son of the iconic Dick Idol, including:

● The Hole in the Horn Buck: Cody recounts his father’s pivotal role in bringing this legendary non-typical to the world's stage, even giving the deer its famous name.

● The Hanson Buck: I discuss the enduring legacy of Milo Hanson’s world-record typical and how it stacks up against the mythical status of "The General."

● "Antler Craze": Cody gives me an exclusive look at his upcoming documentary, Antler Craze, set for release this July. The film chronicles the intense, twisting journey of the million-dollar sale of "The General" and the controversies that followed.

Whether you are a hardcore shed hunter or a fan of whitetail lore, this conversation offers a rare look at the business, the history, and the obsession behind the world’s most valuable antlers.

Watch for Cody Idol’s documentary "Antler Craze" arriving July 2026!
