In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my Alabama 8-point—taken from the ground—and everything that moment represented.

Step into the Alabama woods with me as I share one of the most unusual public-land hunting stories I’ve ever lived through. For weeks, every time I hunted this spot, someone would drive by and blast their horn — same road, same timing, same obnoxious honk.
