Ep. 424: The Old Timers Knew The Best Stand Locations w/ Luke Humphreys

Beau Martonik is joined by West Virginia native Luke Humphreys. Luke has sent in multiple Mountain Buck Monday submissions of big mountain bucks, including an absolute giant that he shot with his grandpa’s old sidelock muzzleloader from this past January during the West Virginia heritage season. They discuss practicing turkey hunting in the mountains, family hunting traditions, finding old hunting stands, key terrain features, wind and thermals in the mountains, finding the perfect tree, the four-year quest for “Bobby Fischer”, lessons learned from chasing a buck for years, and much more!
