When we first laid eyes on the buck Holt Martin killed in Louisiana, we honestly thought we were looking at a moose. The palmation on this whitetail is absolutely insane. In this episode, Holt Martin joins us to break down the hunt for this incredible Mississippi River bottom buck that ended up scoring 170 inches. Beyond the story of the hunt, Holt shares a ton of insight into how he consistently finds and hunts mature whitetails in the challenging Mississippi River bottom habitat. From scouting strategies to understanding how these river-bottom deer move, this conversation turned into one of the most informative whitetail podcasts we’ve ever recorded.

In this episode, we sit down with 19-year-old Jared Wurth to break down the story behind one of the biggest hard-horned whitetails to hit the dirt this past season. This wasn’t just a big deer — it was a 241 5/8” GIANT, officially scored by Buckmasters. And what makes it even crazier? It all happened on just 40 acres, from a tree his dad planted 25 years ago. A quarter century of growth. Years of patience. One moment that changed everything. Jared walks us through the history of the property, how this buck survived and matured, the strategy behind the setup, and what it felt like when a true once-in-a-lifetime whitetail stepped into range. Huge congrats again to Jared on an absolute Ohio giant. You’re not going to want to miss this one.
