SHOW NOTES
Scenario: A last-day opportunity on a shockingly big bull elk. With moments left of legal shooting light and every possible challenge aligned against you, can you hold it together and kill the bull?
Guest: Duane "Buck" Buckner. A veteran of vast and extreme experience, Buck has spent decades studying the human psyche and its response to dramatic stress—as well as how to function effectively through it.
WRAP: Understanding the wires that come loose inside your brain when you get buck fever helps you keep it together at the moment of truth.
