Tyler and K.C. keep rolling in the Buck Truck to the great state of South Dakota to meet their friend, Tony Peterson. They look to capitalize on some historical data while hunting public deer on a bed to feed pattern. The drought all but foils their plans, making it pretty difficult to find whitetails in their normally luscious range.

Tyler and K.C. exchange a little hard work for the opportunity to hunt some hallowed northern Illinois ground in late October. However, what they thought was exclusive access, turned out to be the stomping grounds of some local (and not too happy) hunters. The fellas find a way to work with what they have and somehow still end up on some big bucks.

Tyler and K.C. make a stop at one of their favorite destinations, Kansas. A place known for giant bucks and few trees, the Sunflower State presents its own set of roadblocks.Tyler finds early success while K.C. struggles hunting public land, until a miracle happens. Historical information and some aggressive calling culminate to make one of the craziest eye-to-eye encounters.

Tyler and KC cruise over to Oklahoma in the Buck Truck to hunt deer on an even playing field. Whitetail in Oklahoma are plentiful, but so are the other hunters. Difficult warm conditions, hunting pressure, and rough terrain make a tough early go of it, but the fellas get zeroed in on the bucks. Big bucks are always spooky, but it’s especially unsettling when one stares you in the face at 8 yards!

Tyler and K.C. head out on the road for a southern Whitetail experience with their buddy Clay Newcomb in Arkansas. This roadtrip has a heavy dose of deer hunting nostalgia combined with excellent food, great friends, and some of the wildest country you’ll find in the southern US. Wet conditions and hunting pressure prove to make this expedition difficult.
