It's not every season that you get the chance to say you may be hunting one of the biggest bucks you've ever hunted. That is exactly where Mike Reed finds himself heading into the 2025 season. Though no crystal ball exists, chances are plausible that Mike may be hunting a hopeful "200 inch caliber buck of a lifetime. A buck tagged Junior, this video breaks down the history with the deer so far and builds into what Mike considers at the top of importance when trying to create his own luck on big bucks. Managing the properties from a wholistic approach to create the best habitat for all wildlife. Mike lays out some of his plan for the buck and then does a deep dive on prescribed fire. He discusses how he tackles the practice safely, what equipment he uses to complete the work, and explains why he thinks it's one of the best tools a land manager has at their disposal. We appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and hopefully, this is just another story beginning that will end come fall of 2025. Have a great week everyone!
