On episode 25 of The Gamekeeper Podcast, Ohio hunter Jason Kline tells a great story of a truly giant whitetail he was chasing for almost three years. The deer had become a local legend since he was often visible feeding in a bean field along a main highway.

After the season ended, Jason discovered the fate of this giant whitetail. With a Boone and Crockett score of 241, this is one shed hunt Jason will never forget.
