Today we're joined by Bucky Shoemaker, Idaho native, elk hunting fanatic, and blue collar family man.  Bucky is the picture perfect guest to have on this show, he represents what this podcast is all about; hard work.  Bucky gets a limited amount of days off from the mill, but he makes the most of them.  We discuss his keys for success when it comes to elk hunting public land over-the-counter elk, he's tagged out on bulls the last five years in a row.  Before for that it was a struggle, so we figure out what clicked for him and we...

Patrick J.
