A cold December evening turns into one of the most memorable hunts for Tom and Zack on “Project 17”. With snow melting, deer flooding the fields, and hopes high for a mature buck, they settled into the stand not knowing the story that was about to unfold. After encountering several deer, Prince—a buck they had only a few trail cam photos of—stepped out for the moment every hunter dreams of. What follows is an emotional celebration, reflections on years of work on the farm, habitat improvements, food plots, and the wildlife that has flourished because of it.
