Description: “You can know all this stuff and still not be a killer. You’ve got to put yourself in position over and over again and be willing to blow it and keep learning. That’s what a good predator does.” - Jim Forbes In this throwback episode, we are bringing EP. 190 back to the top of the feed! In this episode, we interview Jim Forbes, a highly successful mountain buck hunter from Virginia. Jim has kept a journal of all his hunters for 30+ years. Over the years he has identified what it is that makes him successful and keeps doubling down on it. Jim puts a ton of focus on being a good predator and using woodsmanship. This is an all-time favorite episode of ours! Y'all enjoy. Got a question for the show?
