Big Buck Stories: Archery Success And A True Giant | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 243

Austin Folkman from our GOHUNT Insider+ team is back on the podcast! We talk big-buck stories to giant-buck stories, and much more. Brady kicks things off with a quick look at how Insider+ is helping members fill tags across the West, and why now is the time to start your 2027 plan with updated Draw Odds already live for a bunch of states.

Then it's mule deer talk. Austin grabbed a leftover archery tag days before the opener... after plenty of years without bowhunting, a scramble to find his bow, and just three arrows that didn't even match. Four stalks over nine days of weekend-warrior hunting to close the deal, including five straight hours spent sitting in range, waiting for the buck to stand, and it ended with one of his best bucks ever.

We wrap up with the story of a 216" velvet giant that Austin helped his best friend's dad take on a draw tag, and I share a few details (more to come) from my own recent muzzleloader deer hunt.
