60: Hunting A Buck In Every State One Tag At A Time With Jackson Knight (Missouri)

60: Hunting A Buck In Every State One Tag At A Time With Jackson Knight (Missouri)

Jackson grew up on a family farm in Missouri watching his dad carry out the Bone Crusher, a Remington twelve gauge that had dropped more deer than either of them could count. He started tagging along before he could carry a gun, sat through three seasons as a passenger, and then on one random school morning looked out the back door and saw six deer feeding fifty yards from the house. He snuck to the truck, grabbed the guns, got on the deck, and shot his first deer at eighty yards. It hit the doe in the back end and dropped her where she stood. Jackson is not just a deer hunter. He owns Trapper Jack Pest Control, designs hunting properties, competes in Spartan endurance racing with a world championship appearance in Greece on his schedule, and holds a degree in wildlife conservation management. He has trapped everything from eighty pound beavers to a solid black coyote, caught fifty raccoons off one property in three weeks, and built food plots and habitat on his family's Missouri farm since he was eleven years old. He hunts deer across multiple states every year, chases elk points in Utah and Montana, and approaches every piece of ground with the same mindset he uses running fifty miles a week: put in the work and the results follow. This episode covers Missouri whitetail hunting, food plot design, habitat management, wildlife trapping, and what it looks like when somebody treats hunting as seriously as a profession. A Hunter's Legacy is built for guys like Jackson, everyday hunters who are all in on the resource and do not need a camera crew to make it worth showing up. Want to be a guest?

59: Six Hunters On The Same Tom And A First Timer Caught In The Middle With Michael Bennett II (Missouri)

Michael grew up in central Missouri watching his grandfather pull into the driveway with one-fifty and one-sixty inch bucks draped across the hood, wishing he could be part of it. His dad never hunted, but his grandpa taught himself in his thirties and passed everything down to Michael the moment he was old enough to sit still. By fifteen he was hunting solo with a bow, tagged his first deer on opening day, and spent the rest of that season stacking meat in the freezer. Then his grandpa took him turkey hunting, and something clicked that never let go. Michael is a turkey hunter first and everything else second. He has chased birds across Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, and Montana, and he has built his permission network the old fashioned way, knocking on doors, buying the farmer's wife a bottle of wine, and earning every acre he sets foot on. He talks about losing his grandpa's property after his grandfather passed, what it felt like to shoot his first out of state bird the same day he got that phone call, and why that hunt changed the way he thinks about the turkey woods forever. He also walks through one of the most chaotic public land turkey hunts you will hear on this show, six hunters converging on the same gobbling bird from six different directions on a Missouri lake, with a first-timer sitting right in the middle of it all. This is a turkey hunting story rooted in Missouri ridge systems, river bottoms, and the kind of public land pressure that will either break you or make you better. A Hunter's Legacy is where stories like Michael's belong, from first-generation turkey hunters learning the hard way to guys who will walk twelve miles just to find where the birds went.

58: Twenty Four Miles Of Snow Tracking A Mountain Lion On The Slopes With Kendall Anthony (Colorado)

Kendall grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida fishing canals behind his house with a thirteen foot alligator living just downstream. When he was ten his family moved to Colorado and everything changed. He had no hunting family to learn from. His grandparents were from England, guns were foreign to them, and hunting was not part of anyone's plan. Then a Tom Miranda bowhunting show came on after his shark fishing program ended, and that was it. He spent the next fifteen years building one of the most diverse hunting resumes you will find on any average joe in the country. By sixteen he was chasing mountain lions through two feet of snow on Colorado's Western Slope, tracking a tom for twenty four miles over two days before putting two shots through him with a borrowed nine millimeter at fifteen yards. By his early twenties he had a cow moose on the ground, a pronghorn at three hundred yards, and a bear charge stopped at five yards by his buddy's snub nose revolver after his rifle jammed at the worst possible moment. He drew a Colorado moose tag his first year eligible, sent his girlfriend sprinting back for his magazine mid stalk, and nearly got pinned under eight hundred pounds of dead moose on a steep drainage. And then there was Africa, where a sixteen year dream of killing an eland finally came together on a mountainside with his mom watching from base camp. This episode covers mule deer and elk hunting on Colorado public land, spot and stalk pronghorn, mountain lion hunting with hounds, and what it looks like when a first generation hunter refuses to stop chasing the next one. A Hunter's Legacy is built for stories like Kendall's, from Colorado mountain hunting to dangerous game in South Africa and everything in between. Want to be a guest?
