Champions League Hunt: Reality Check - The Canyon, Pressure & Wally’s Buck
Description
In Episode 2 of the Champions League Hunt, the crew wraps up their final day of scouting and dives into a bold plan — dropping more than 2,000 vertical feet into a steep Colorado canyon after spotting several promising bulls and a trio of big muley bucks.
With high hopes for opening morning, the team pushes deep into the backcountry, but soon faces the sobering reality of hunting pressure, brutal terrain, and the sheer logistics of packing an animal out of that canyon.
After a long climb back to the truck, the day takes an unexpected turn — a quick stop on the way back to camp turns into a moment of success as Wally King fills his mule deer tag on opening day.
