In this Outdoor Drop episode, Luke checks in live from the deer stand on Missouri’s rifle opener. He kicks things off by finishing the story of the buck he shot with his bow and gives an honest update on how that hunt ended. Then he recaps a wild week of bowhunting with Max—full of close calls, missed chances, and lessons learned. To top it off, Luke shares the story of his dad’s biggest whitetail ever—a giant 168” 14-pointer taken on their small family farm. The rut’s been exciting, unpredictable, and humbling… just the way deer season goes.
