3 Key Points:

Tweetable Quotes:
- “I went out and I ‘stepped it.’ Usually I count for about 2, 3 steps from shooting inside the blind. I’m taking those 3 steps and from there I went out to where the actual blood was, and it was actually 31 steps.” – Antonio Marsh
- “Any hunter will tell you, the buck is going to do what they want to do and that was probably the first thing I learned about the rut.” – Antonio Marsh
- “No matter how good you are, how confident you are with your weapon of choice, whether it is a bow or a gun. A moving shot? It is better top err on the side of caution, because the last thing you want to do is wound a deer.” – AB3
