Summary

Derek Norwood hunts extreme terrain, in extreme ways. Derek is well-known in his home state of Florida for being extremely consistent in taking down top-tier bucks for his area. We traveled to Plant City, FL, to Derek's shop to sit down and talk about his life in the woods. Some of the topics include: - The bucks in central Florida are bigger than you think - How growing up dog hunting taught Derek how bucks escape through swamps - The story of Derek's father passing away on a hunt with Derrek - How Derek reads tracks to track down bucks - Slip hunting swamps - Spot & stalk hunting individual buck beds in swamps (this is wild!) - The extreme measures Derek is willing to take on a nice buck - Insane snake stories - Why Derek seeks out the "worst WMA's"...and why he finds the biggest bucks there and tons more! We had a great time travling through Florida to interview Derek. If you enjoy this episode, and want to hear more Flordia deer hunters on the show, let us know!
