“Deer Hunting Turkeys”

Could a buck I shot on opening day of Georgia’s 2024 bow season be the same one I hit—but never recovered—on opening week the year before? I had my suspicions. The dates matched (both on 9/14), the location was the same, and the bucks looked very similar—just bigger in 2024. But it wasn’t until I shared photos and details with ChatGPT that the mystery started to unravel. In this episode, I break down how AI helped me spot a scar that looked exactly like a broadhead wound from the year before—and how that led to solving one of my most personal hunting mysteries yet.What do you think? Was ChatGPT right that this is the buck I shot the season before?
