In this episode, I break down the full story behind my BIG 8 buck—shot the traditional way with a longbow. No shortcuts, no high-fence, no gimmicks. Just woodsmanship, patience, and one unforgettable encounter with a giant 8-point.
I walk through the entire hunt: the scouting, the setup, the moment he stepped out, and the shot that sealed the deal. If you’re into traditional archery, big-buck behavior, or just a good hunting story, you’ll enjoy this one.
Topics in this episode:
How I patterned this buck
Why I chose the longbow setup
Breakdowns of the key decisions that made the hunt possible
Gear used + my real thoughts on longbow hunting
