Big Buck Registry Podcast
245 DOUG LAIRD – The World's #1 Antlered Doe
Yes, we know this is the Big Buck Registry. But when a 199″ composite antlered doe becomes the only Boone & Crockett doe on record, it’s worthy.

As hunters, we don’t consider poachers to be hunters. Sure the activities may look similar to the non-hunter, but there are vast differences in the approach of taking game.
