SHOW NOTES

WELCOME to the 101st Episode!

As the title suggests, this fun discussion addresses two topics; big deer & compact gear. 

Must-read book: Ryan Hatfield's "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer."

Glory Day Story: Doyle Mooseman and the 48," 8x8 buck. 

Big buck statistics: An entertaining (and eye-opening) look at your chances of shooting a monster mule deer (and how you can maximize your opportunities). 

Mule deer's current condition (as a whole), and how you can help: 

• Bad winters, high predation, loss of winter range, ever-increasing hunter effectiveness (long-range gear), and other factors. 
• Contribute by aggressively hunting coyotes. And if you've never hunted mountain lions, now is the time!
