In season 6, episode 6 of Realtree Outdoors, titled "Kansas, Ross Trophy," the hosts of the show head to Kansas to pursue one of the most sought-after big game animals in North America – the whitetail deer. The episode follows Realtree's David Blanton and Tyler Jordan, as well as their guide, Ross Plummer, as they attempt to bag one of the biggest whitetails in the state.
The episode starts with the group preparing for their hunt in the early morning hours. Ross Plummer, a seasoned guide and experienced hunter, explains the intricacies of bowhunting whitetail deer, including the importance of setting up on a travel corridor and using scent control to avoid detection by the deer. With everything set up, the group heads into the woods and settles into their hunting positions.
As the sun begins to rise, the hunters spot a few does and small bucks moving through the area. They remain patient, however, waiting for a mature buck to come into view. After several hours of waiting, a massive buck, dubbed "Ross Trophy" by the group, appears on the horizon. With antlers that spread nearly 30 inches and a body the size of a small car, Ross Trophy is the very definition of a trophy whitetail.
The group immediately springs into action, carefully positioning themselves for a shot on the massive buck. However, Ross Trophy proves to be a wily adversary, quickly detecting the hunters' presence and authoritatively slipping out of sight. Determined not to let the opportunity slip away, the group remains vigilant, continuing to stalk the elusive deer across the Kansas wilderness.
Over the course of several days, the group uses every tactic at their disposal, including decoys, scent lures, and expert calling, to try and lure Ross Trophy within range. Despite multiple close calls and tantalizing glimpses of the massive buck, however, they are unable to take their shot and bag the trophy they seek.
As the hunt wears on, tensions run high among the group. Tyler and David, in particular, are feeling the pressure of the hunt, with time running out and the trophy buck still just out of reach. However, Ross Plummer remains confident and optimistic, urging the group to remain patient and stay focused on the task at hand.
In the end, the group's persistence pays off, with Ross Trophy finally presenting himself in a clear, unobstructed view. With adrenaline pumping and fingers trembling, the hunters take their shot, hoping to bring down the elusive buck and claim their prize at last.
Realtree Outdoors season 6, episode 6 is a thrilling and suspenseful depiction of the challenges – and rewards – of hunting trophy whitetail deer in the American Midwest.
