BFG8

Ellliott Smith - Wisconsin - November 30th, 2025

To say that this season has been a rollercoaster of emotion for Elliott would be a huge understatement.  All of his off season work and preparation was for one particular target buck this year, a deer that he called "Prodigy".  He hunted this deer hard, and ultimately had his opportunities, but unfortunately came up short.  The buck ended up getting harvested by another hunter in the area.  Down but not out, Elliott still had a couple older age class bucks to go after.  On the final day of the Wisconsin gun season, a 5.5 year old buck he dubbed "BFG8" gave him an opportunity and he ended his season on a high note!  We are excited to share his entire season story with you all in an episode next season!
