In this episode, I got the chance to catch up with an old hunting buddy, diving deep into what hunting truly means to us. We reminisced about how out-of-shape the start of the season can make us feel, laughing at our own hunting fitness—or sometimes the lack of it. But then, things took a turn for the serious when we got into a mule deer hunt down in southern Utah. Now, this wasn’t just any hunt. This was about the ‘inline buck,’ a deer that’s driven one of us near obsession. It’s the kind of story that will take you right there on the ridge with us, where a single shot not only decides the fate of a hunt but also makes us question the unspoken rules of hunting. This isn’t just a hunting story; it’s about grit, respect, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with chasing a dream.
