Скачать или смотреть Episode 19 | A Buck Worth Waiting For | 3-Year Hunt (Jackman, Maine) | Kode Paradise

Some hunts become stories.
Some stories become legends.

In Episode 19, we sit down with Kode Paradise, a 19-year-old hunter from Jackman, Maine, who spent three seasons chasing the same buck. He missed him twice, learned hard lessons, and finally crossed paths with him again — running with a doe — making a shot that changed everything.

This episode is about more than one buck.
It’s about focus, patience, and the kind of hunting that only happens in the big woods.

If you love true hunting stories — this one is for you.

⚠️ Quick heads-up: From 7:45–18:00 the camera angle stays the same due to a switch issue. Audio never drops — and the story is too good to skip.
