Episode 42: THE BUCK FILES
Tim shares his story of the 154 1/8 inch net whitetail buck he killed in his early 20's. The buck was shot with a bow (a PSE at the time) on a 43 acre farm in Southern Illinois. The farm is surrounded by more than 23,000 acres of Shawnee Forest property.
The buck is a 14 point (6x8) with a kicker on the left side and a split brow tine on the right side.
This is our 1st Buck file episode and we found it fitting for the first couple episodes to be bucks harvested by the hosts. We have numerous episodes upcoming with guests sharing their buck file stories.

Episode 61: Hunting mature Whitetail Bucks is challenging especially when they know they are being hunted. It's even more challenging when you are hunting on smaller tracts of land.
Knowing where bedding, feeding areas, and water sources are will allow you to create tactics for a more successful hunting season. Know your wind directions, use scent control methods, and make sure your access to your stand is as undetected as possible.
Hunting small tracts can be extremely challenging, but embrace the challenge and reap the awards of the work you put in.

Episode 71: Many don't know this, but there are free ranging Elk in West Texas. They were introduced into the McKittrick Canyon in 1928. Today, five herds of Rocky Mountain Elk exist in the Guadalupe, Glass, Wylie, Davis and Eagle Mountains of West Texas.
The State of Texas considers Elk to be an exotic animal. What does this mean? It means you can hunt Elk year-round with limited restrictions. A non-resident 5-day special hunting license for $48, or annual version for $132, is all you need! It is known as license number 157.
Finding public land can be a challenge, however. There isn't much remaining in Texas.
