8-Year Old takes 185" Whitetail in Kentucky - Brantly Schmittou | Big Buck Blueprint

It’s not every day that your second whitetail scores over 244 inches — and it’s almost unheard of when you can make it happen at only 14 years old. But that’s exactly what Hunter Windsor accomplished this past fall in Southern Ohio while hunting with his dad. In this episode, we dive into the story behind this once-in-a-lifetime buck, the special bond between father and son, and what it takes to make memories that last forever. This is one hunt — and one deer — you won’t forget.
