In September, Justin Hollandworth (@masonsdad1975) thought his season was over. EHD had hit hard, his farm was wiped out, and the plan he’d built all year was gone overnight.

What followed was one of the most frustrating—and ultimately rewarding—bowhunting seasons you’ll hear about.

Justin breaks down how he pivoted mid-season to find new ground, locate a mature buck, and stay in the game when most hunters would’ve checked out. He had this deer inside 25 yards SIX different times, made a bad hit in October, and even got busted at 5 yards on a late-season move that almost ended it all.

This episode isn’t just about killing a big buck—it’s about adapting when everything goes wrong.

What’s inside:

• The EHD Pivot: How to find new places to hunt when your main farm goes quiet.
• The 6-Encounter Grind: Having a giant inside 25 yards six separate times.
• The Low Shot: Dealing with a bad hit on October 26th and how he confirmed the buck was still alive.
• The 5-Yard Disaster: Getting pegged at point-blank range and why he stayed disciplined at full draw.
• The Survival Guide: Tactical advice for anyone dealing with EHD or a 'blown-up' season.
• Philosophy: The difference between a rough season that ends well and one that just ends.

• 
  

  If you’ve ever had a season feel like it's falling apart, this one will hit home.
