Inside The Bone Collector’s MEMORY ROOM! Michael Waddell’s Whitetail Cribs

Michael Waddell opens the doors at Bone Collector Headquarters in Booger Bottom, Georgia, an old mercantile building turned office, then takes us to the barn and memory room on his Georgia farm. He tells us why his biggest bow buck, a 193-inch Kansas whitetail, sits unmounted on an end table, the Alaska bull moose he sawed in half to get it on a plane home, the collared and ear-tagged Kansas buck that showed him how far a deer will travel in winter, and the Carmen Mountain whitetail that once stood as a world record. Along the way: the Golden Moose Awards wall, the Squirrel Master Classic trophies, the original Bone Collector chopper and his ‘77 Trans Am Bandit. Join the WHTL Team as we travel across the nation to take a peek inside the trophy rooms of some of the most interesting whitetail hunters we can find. From giant whitetails, unique racks, and riveting deer hunting stories.
