Ep. 929: Back 40 - Do Great Hunters Really Shoot a Buck Every Year?
Jul 30, 202500:39:29Tap to summarizeDo great hunters really shoot a buck every year, or have we just convinced ourselves that’s the standard? In this episode, Jake Hofer sits down with whitetail heavyweights Don Higgins, Bill Winke, Steve Hanson, Thomas Mlsna, Mark Kenyon, Skip Sligh, Bobby Kendall, and Jeff Sturgis to tackle a question that every serious deer hunter has wondered at some point, but rarely hears answered honestly. They dive into what it really takes to find consistent success: the habits, the land, the hours, and the mindset behind year-after-year results. But they also explore the flip side, why even the best hunters eat tag soup some seasons, and why that might not be a bad thing.
