Wisconsin Sportsman

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce flies solo to recap his best October yet, and shares the story of how he tagged his biggest buck to date! October is a special month and a lot changes in a short amount of time. Gardens ripen, trout seasons close, migratory fish move inland, and the whitetail woods goes from okay, to questionable, to red hot in a matter of days. In this episode, Pierce shares some of the good luck he's had this month from catching a tiger trout, to spotting a badger in the wild, to crossing paths with a one-eyed buck, headlamp mishaps, and finally... paddling in and sending an arrow through a beautiful Iowa buck!
