EP 612: A Spreadsheet of Failure – Zack Boughton's Quest to Take a Mature Mountain Buck

Is failure such a dirty word? Is delayed gratification so hard to stomach?  On this episode, Zack Boughton of Montana Wild returns to recount his longstanding search for a mature mountain mule deer buck in his home state of Montana.   Zack's story behind this hard to achieve goal, his self-imposed standards, and the process driven approach he applies to hold himself accountable are worth your time if you're someone that believes some goals, as hard as they may be, are worth pursuing.  @montanawild  ---------------------------  TRUSTED PARTNERS:  For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
