My dream hunt lasted less than 2 hours
What an awesome opening evening in Ohio. I feel like now, the more I hunt, the more I truly enjoy when a plan comes together. We had a good wind for this particular, smaller farm. And, we had one buck on our hit list…The Wide 9.


There really isn’t much I can write that would be better than this video. This video says it all.
I could not be happier with this buck or this hunt. I really owe it to my Draggin’ Deer teammate Scott Romzek. He’s the one who put in a ton of off-season work, had this buck patterned and put a perfect game plan together. This beautiful 9 point ended up being my biggest buck to date and my first opening-day buck. The cherry on top was the fact that 16 years earlier, on the exact same day and almost the same time, I killed my very first deer. What a sweet way to start the 2018 season!


Good luck and be safe out there my friends! If you find success this season please be sure to share with us!
