Over the years, we’ve had the racks of some giant North Texas archery bucks in the studio. That trend continues on this episode when Grayson County whitetail hunter Ryan Bergman joins us. The 196 4/8 inch (gross) monster he watched for 4 seasons finally presented an opportunity in late November and Ryan’s bolt found its mark. Highlights from the conversation include:
