#49: What Are We Really Searching For? With Dylon Gandee

This week on Legacy Through Land, Tyler sits down with Dylon Gandee for one of the most powerful conversations of the season—a story of struggle, faith, and the healing found in the outdoors. Dylon opens up about battling serious illness, rediscovering his purpose through spirituality, and how hunting became a lifeline that led him to create The Search, a platform dedicated to both pursuing big whitetails and spreading the gospel. Together, Tyler and Dylon dive deep into the realities of modern deer management in Ohio—non‑resident pressure, land access challenges, community tensions, and the ongoing debate around baiting. Dylon also shares the emotional journey of chasing a once‑in‑a‑lifetime buck named Wrench, revealing the strategy, heartbreak, and fulfillment behind the pursuit.  Grounded in faith, resilience, and a passion for bringing people together, this episode is a reminder that hunting is about far more than a tag—it's about purpose, people, and growth.  📢 Want to Learn More?  📲 Follow us on Instagram: @legacyacreslandco  💬 Drop a comment below: Do you think baiting helps or hurts deer management in your area—and why?  👉 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more stories of legacy, land, and leadership.
