#406 - He Paid $1,000,000 For The General Sheds… Then Everything Changed with Josh Duncan

Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back in the studio with Josh Duncan, the new owner of The General.

On this episode, we break down how:

• The General antlers sold for $1 million, making them the most expensive ever.
• The purchase was structured through installment payments, not cash.
• Photos surfaced showing two stickers had been shaved off decades ago.
• The discovery removed the rack from the North American Shed Hunters Club records.
• Additional sheds from the same deer surfaced over 60 years after discovery.
• The General's typical frame is still considered historically unmatched.
• The antlers' story highlights the unregulated and controversial antler collecting world.
• Josh now sees himself as the caretaker of the deer's legacy, not the owner.
• A documentary about The General is being produced to tell the full story.
• The mission now is to restore respect for the deer despite human manipulation.
