Join us as we hit the road home from South Dakota, still riding the high of an unforgettable rut hunt. In this episode, we break down the full story of my South Dakota buck — from the strategy that set the stage, to the encounters that kept us on edge, to the moment everything finally came together. With the truck packed, one tag filled, and the prairie fading in the rearview mirror, we recap each hunt, talk through what worked (and what didn’t), and relive every adrenaline-filled second. If you’re a whitetail nut or just love a good rut story, this is one you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of The One That Got Away (Again…), we kick back and let the stories fly. From the “giant” buck that somehow slipped past, rants, to those classic campfire stories, it’s all about the laughs, the misses, and the maybes. Expect plenty of BS’ing, some questionable details, and a whole lot of deer talk that’ll sound familiar to anyone who’s ever sat in a tree stand or around a deer camp table. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the session—you might even recognize your own “one that got away” in the mix.\

This isn’t your average hunting show—it’s a deer camp campfire conversation with three women who live and breathe the outdoors in their own unique ways. Two are passionate hunters, chasing whitetails and swapping stories of early mornings, missed shots, and the thrill of the perfect harvest.

Together, they bring laughs, real-life deer camp tales, and a refreshing perspective on what it means to be part of hunting culture as women. Whether you’re in a stand, at the cabin, or just dreaming of deer season, this podcast brings the heart of camp straight to your ears.
