WELCOME to the 101st Episode!
As the title suggests, this fun discussion addresses two topics; big deer & compact gear.
Must-read book: Ryan Hatfield's "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer."
Glory Day Story: Doyle Mooseman and the 48," 8x8 buck.
Big buck statistics: An entertaining (and eye-opening) look at your chances of shooting a monster mule deer (and how you can maximize your opportunities).
Mule deer's current condition (as a whole), and how you can help:
