I took the biggest buck of my life the third week of November this season. I wish I could tell you the story of how I’ve been scouting this buck for years. How I learned his patterns and tendencies, about how then one late afternoon I saw my window of opportunity and seized it. But…
Guide Aaron Crews reported on Dec. 19, 2019, “The grass has recovered better from Hurricane Michael than most figured. Duck hunting is slow.
