In this episode, Torry Miller proves that with hard work and strategy, big buck dreams can come true - even on just 40 acres. Hunting the Illinois rut, Torry uses mock scrapes, grunting, and smart stand setups to bring two mature whitetail bucks into bow range.
First, he punches a tag on a heavy-bodied 9-point buck after pulling him into a mock scrape using the Extinguisher grunt call and a perfect setup on a food plot. Then, just days later, he arrows another mature buck he’s been after for weeks—“Spike”—in a classic rut hunt deep in the timber.
This hunt is packed with:
- Whitetail rut calling tactics
- Mock scrape strategy with Black Widow scents
- Trail camera intel using Stealth Cams
- Small property deer hunting tips
- Kill shots captured with Painted Arrow camera mounts
If you’re into deer calling, rut hunting, or managing small properties for big bucks, this is one you don’t want to miss.
