<p>This episode is <em>wild</em> in every sense of the word. Host <strong>Jason Harmon</strong> teams up with co‑host <strong>Amy Spencer</strong> as they welcome TWRA District 11 Lieutenant <strong>Tim Ward</strong> to uncover a jaw‑dropping story that blends big bucks, bigger mysteries, and the relentless work of Tennessee’s wildlife officers.</p><p>We’re talking <em>491 inches</em> of antler across <strong>three</strong> trophy bucks — including a double drop‑tine giant — all illegally taken from the grounds of the West Tennessee State Penitentiary. No, this isn&#39;t a movie plot… it&#39;s a real investigation led by real officers protecting Tennessee’s wildlife every single day.</p><p>Tim walks us through how a single picture sent on Christmas Eve 2023 unraveled a multi‑year mystery. From tracking rumors and sorting out lies to uncovering deleted photos and navigating the challenges of policing a 6,000‑acre unfenced prison property — this case proves just how far wildlife officers go to defend our shared outdoor heritage.</p><p>You&#39;ll hear how it unfolded, why tips matter, what the consequences were, and how these incredible deer will now serve Tennessee as educational mounts instead of hidden trophies.</p><p>Plus, Tim shares heartwarming stories about hunting with his kids — a perfect reminder of why protecting wildlife truly matters. </p><p>Don’t miss this one. Big deer, big stakes, big payoff.<br>And remember… <strong>don’t poach. Ever.</strong> Your privilege to hunt is worth far more than a set of antlers.</p><p>To purchase a license for great hunting and fishing adventures in Tennessee, visit <a href="http://gooutdoorstennessee.com">gooutdoorstennessee.com</a>.</p>
