He Beat Cancer… Then Tagged a 201 4/8" Illinois Giant | 100% Wild Podcast ep.440 Adam Locke joins Matt and Tim from the “Land of Lincoln” with a raw story that starts in a doctor's office and ends with a 201 4/8" Illinois buck on the ground. Adam walks through the pain that led to a testicular cancer diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and how faith, family, and deer season pulled him forward. He breaks down the hunt—late-October conditions, access, wind, doe groups, and how he stayed in the game a month and a half after surgery. The guys also kick around how modern tech changes hunter efficiency, swap Cardinal baseball memories (spot the Bottomland Cards hat), shout out the Rat Pack, and flag a limited deal on the Stealth Cam Spectre 4K.

Nate and I eventually get into the topic I wanted to focus on with him, habitat crossover. The things he looks for when scouting for deer are many of the same things we upland hunters take note of. Brushy edges, concealment, and food sources, are in the same value to the grouse as it is to the whitetail. It's no wonder we cross paths with hunters of other disciplines while pursuing game. This is a good birdcamp conversation and I hope you enjoy it.

Expect some goofy Mambo No. 5 tangents, Tim's tale of nearly totaling his car, and Matt overthinking bear baiting.
