Summary
In this episode we call Andrew Wankier and Chuck Lawrence, who hunted some of Utah's best limited entry units for Mule deer and elk last year. Andrew had one of the longest streaks of bad luck during his Mule deer hunt, but stayed positive and was able to make it happen on a 200" buck. Chuck hunted a long hard archery elk hunt, and after 22 days straight, was able to down a 380" giant.
