If you jump back a few episodes to episode 210 you’ll hear us talk with James Stovall about his 206” buck that has stood as the Florida state record since 1999. That buck was harvested in Green Swamp west the first year it was open to the public as a special opportunity hunt. It's a great story and I encourage you, if you haven't already listened to it, to jump back and do so. All that being said just this last year James himself admitted he believed he was going to be dethroned. In 2023 Luke Asby was fortunate enough to harvest a 200” whitetail that put him in the 3 place spot only missing James by a small margin of 6” and the number 2 slot by just over 1”. This magnificent buck couldn't have fallen to a more deserving hunter and we are super excited to be the first ones to bring you the story in all its detail. A buck of 100 lifetimes and one I'm sure he won't soon forget and neither will we.
