It started with a youth pastor’s crossbow—but for 20-year-old Gabe Foley from Southwest Ohio, that was just the beginning.
In this episode, Gabe sits down with Mitchell Fox to share how his love for deer hunting grew from sitting on the ground with his grandpa to managing over 9,500 acres across seven counties. He talks about building a landscaping business with his fiancée, the painful lessons from early hunts, and the obsession that’s fueled his journey—door-knocking for permission, running 30+ cell cameras, and logging every wind, scrape, and moon phase.
Gabe opens up about losing his grandpa to cancer and how those early hunts—without trail cams or high-end gear—still shape how he chases whitetails today. From his first deer at 68 yards with a crossbow to living on 40 huntable acres, this one’s packed with grit, lessons, and a whole lotta heart.
