Randy and Dave's Hit List
The following words are Dave's.
In 1994, I started outfitting in Buffalo County. Ever since then, it has grown and I have built a reputation of high success, low hunting pressure for my clients, and honor and cooperation with my landowners. Our hunters have taken numerous bucks from 140-180 P&Y inches. We take a limited number of hunters every year and boast an 80% shot opportunity on 140+" bucks.
