Summary
In this episode we sit down with Josh Pollock, his wife, Hailie Pollock, and their daughter, Sadie Pollock. Each of them has killed a trophy animal this year, and each of those trophies comes with a story that anyone who has hunted with family can relate to. Josh Pollock was able to fill a once-in-a-lifetime tag on a Utah Desert Bighorn Sheep, Hailie Pollock drew a Limited Entry Utah bull elk tag, and made it happen on a giant bull, and Sadie Pollock killed a 218" Mule deer in Colorado, during the 2nd rifle season.
