Luke sits down in the mancave with Kale McCubbins to tell the story of his incredible Missouri whitetail — a main frame 10-point with a 15-inch double beam, nearly 18 inches of antler broken off, and a final score pushing 180 inches. Kale only had a couple trail camera pictures and a hunch the buck was still in the area, so he trusted his instincts and used some creative tactics to stay in the game.

On November 13, a little confusion in the stand led Kale to draw on what he thought was a different buck — but the mistake turned into the hunt of a lifetime when the arrow found its mark on this big, mature Missouri whitetail.

In this episode, Luke and Kale break down the chaos, the quick decisions, and the wild emotions that come with sealing the deal on a true backwoods giant.

If you love big buck stories, honest hunting talk, and good old-fashioned deer camp storytelling, this one’s for you.
