Summary

Today we're joined by Bucky Shoemaker, Idaho native, elk hunting fanatic, and blue collar family man.  Bucky is the picture perfect guest to have on this show, he represents what this podcast is all about; hard work.  Bucky gets a limited amount of days off from the mill, but he makes the most of them.  We discuss his keys for success when it comes to elk hunting public land over-the-counter elk, he's tagged out on bulls the last five years in a row.  Before that it was a struggle, so we figure out what clicked for him and we share it with you. Other topics include his once-in-a-lifetime moose hunt in Idaho this year, a new addition to the family, and balancing hunting when being married and having a young family.  Bucky is the real deal, I know you'll enjoy this episode.
