Robby hosts a great buck hunter on today's Rokcast: James Yates.  James has taken nine big bucks in the last several seasons on mostly easy-to-obtain tags, but it was the 2024 season that pushed him over the top. James took three big bucks in just a few weeks' time across three western states. Two of those bucks are knocking on 200" gross, too.

James and Robby jump into how this incredible season unfolded, from the scouting to the starving, the lack of sleep to the seconds leading up to the shots, to the weapons, the areas, and much more.

This is a big episode with many takeaways on what it takes for a guy to find big bucks in this day and age.

James is also the Archery/Hunting Editor for Western Hunter Magazine.  Check out one of his recent articles here Backcountry Passage: The Best Methods of Transit in the Wilderness - Western Hunter
