MY ONCE IN A LIFETIME MICHIGAN BUCK -

The 2018 hunting season was supposed to be all about the buck I called Holyfield. It would hopefully be my fourth and final year chasing this mature Michigan deer that I'd encountered dozens of times over the years. But he disappeared and the story came to a disappointing conclusion. Out of nowhere though, a new buck arrived, and a new version of the story picked back up. This time with the main character being a Michigan buck unlike any I'd seen before. In fact, it was the largest deer I'd ever hunted anywhere in the entire country.
For more, listen to the much more in-depth version of the story on the Wired To Hunt Podcast:

Mark, I had to come back and leave another comment after watching you pose with that buck.. Big Frank is a super stud man.. Anywhere... He is a stud for an iowa deer never the less a Michigan buck... That's an incredible harvest!!

Awesome job man!! I heard the story on your podcast and have been checking for this video daily ever since. You have had an awesome year of hunting. Your hard work and dedication is the result of this. I know year after year we hunt hard and hope for results like this, but sometimes we have to endure some rough seasons to be rewarded like you have this season. Keep up the great work with WiredToHunt!

Loved listening to your podcast about Frank that you did recently!! I didn’t really expect any or much footage of your hunt of him as you talked about keeping this one to yourself. I’m happy you had some video to share with all of us!! Your films are awesome!! The voice over with telling your story, the editing of the footage, how good most of the footage is (especially since most of it is self filmed)! Keep up the great work Mark and I hope your message keeps reaching people for very damn long time. 👍

Thanks so much! I'm glad I was able to document the journey, but also glad that I waited to share it all til now. It made the actual hunt in-the-moment a little less stressful and a pretty special thing to just enjoy myself and with a few close friends. But it's great now to be able to share it.

What an absolute monster. You are an inspiration to not only Michigan hunters, but guys like us trying to break into the outdoor media world. Not only has it been awesome listening to you chase this buck, but this video was incredible to watch. Brought a damn tear to my eye! One thing I disagree with you on is this, I don't think it is a once in a lifetime Michigan buck. I personally think that with more people like you showing Michigan hunters what is possible here in this great state, we are going to start to see more and more bucks of this caliber. I think we already are somewhat successful in that sense. Its a shift towards greatness. Thank you.

This was an absolutely amazing story, that I could not have watched at a better time. For the past 10 months ive been wallowing over the biggest buck of my life. I was forced to let him walk after not being able to count his points while I had a shot of him in range. As the dense woods lit up with more light over the next several minutes he moved out of shootable range and I clearly counted 8 big points. This left me feeling sank into a funk the rest of the season and through the year now of 2020. I see now that maybe it is time to let him go (in my mind) and try to focus on the upcoming season. Thank you so much for the content. I sincerely mean that, best of luck coming from the Northern LP of Michigan.

CONGRATS!!! That is a very nice buck and story. Like most, listened to podcast and waited to watch the story. The one question I have that was not covered in the podcast or video, was why the change in the decision to pull the trigger this time on "Frank" compared to passing on "Holyfield"? If to personal to share, I understand. Then one comment, "Take the blinders off, and enjoy the hunt." I think this story shows how someone can get so focused on harvesting that one animal. They might lose sight of other potential opportunities and the enjoyment of the hunt. You do somewhat mention this in both story platforms. So, I hope it is not looked at in a negative way. Because the work you have put in and will do on your hunting property. Is going to lead to some more very enjoyable hunting stories and we all look forward to hearing about them as they unfold.
