In this thrilling episode of Chasing November, titled “Cornhusker Bucks and Coyotes,” the crew embarks on a heart-pounding hunt in Nebraska, where they encounter not only massive bucks but also the wild unpredictability of coyotes in the area. The episode follows Rochey as he tracks down a true giant with his rifle, navigating through the unpredictable landscape of Cornhusker State.
Nebraska, known for its wide-open fields and farmland, is a prime hunting ground for whitetail bucks, especially during the late season when mature bucks are on the move. This time of year is crucial for hunters like Rochey, who are after a trophy buck. The conditions were perfect, with cooler temperatures and the rut in full swing, but what the crew didn’t expect was the wild twist—coyotes moving through the area, adding another challenge to the already difficult task of hunting a giant buck.
Rochey’s target was a colossal whitetail buck, a massive 10-point that had been spotted multiple times on trail cameras in the area. The buck had earned a reputation for its elusive nature, but Rochey had done his homework, scouting the area and studying the deer’s patterns. As the hunt progressed, the crew focused on the buck’s primary feeding areas and bedding locations, hoping to catch him moving during the daylight hours.
However, it wasn’t just the giant buck that posed a challenge. Throughout the hunt, the crew found themselves dealing with an abundance of coyotes that had made their presence known in the area. While coyotes aren’t typically a threat to deer hunting directly, their presence can spook deer, making them more cautious and harder to track. The crew had to be extra stealthy to avoid drawing attention from the coyotes while still staying focused on their target.
The hunt culminated in an exciting moment when Rochey finally spotted the giant buck feeding in a cornfield, just as the coyotes were making their way through the area. With nerves of steel, Rochey took a steady shot with his rifle, hitting the buck perfectly. The massive 10-point buck dropped in its tracks, a true testament to the hard work and precision that went into this hunt.
As the episode comes to a close, the crew reflects on the excitement of the hunt and the challenges they faced with the coyotes. Rochey’s success in harvesting such a massive Cornhusker buck with his rifle marks another unforgettable moment in Chasing November, proving once again that no hunt is ever predictable. It’s a thrilling episode that showcases the unpredictability of the hunt, the beauty of Nebraska, and the triumph of persistence in the face of challenges.
