On this episode of Michigan Wild's The Last 7 Days Nate and Bryan dive into the story of Nate's Kansas Buck. This ended up being Nate's first out of state archery buck and first public land buck. Nate ended up making a second trip down to Kansas and with this time being solo it was a trip of many firsts. Bryan and Nate flipped roles which led to some great questions and a deep dive into ground hunting, scouting, and finding a spot to hunt out of state. In this episode Nate emphasized the importance of being prepared with a bow while scouting, understanding wind direction, and adapting to different terrains. All these things helped lead to his success by allowing him to understand unfamiliar places while getting a feel for deer activity in each given area. Nate also shares his thrilling experience on the hunt for his buck, detailing the anticipation leading up to the shot, the aftermath of a missed opportunity, and the emotional journey of tracking the deer.  Thank you for listening to the episode!
