2012 Michigan Stud Buck Bow Kill At 4 Yards

Opie and Tex hit the woods on October 7th and take down an early season Stud buck. Always a blast when you get em close and this bruiser came in to 4 yards.

[@hawkboy1792]

I've been hunting in many states, but there is nothing like the woods of Michigan. Simply the most beautiful of all woods. The smells, the colors, the taste of the crisp fall air.... nothing compares.

[@collinsbryant9072]

Texas

[@hawkboy1792]

Collins Bryant texas doesnt get as cold as mi does. I like the cold better

[@anton1949]

Collins Bryant Texas? Texas? Funny

[@klrinstinct3503]

[@mikeharris36]

love the video... u guy got what it takes to make great videos. like that one guy said dont listen to any of this other guys telling you how make a video. this one was perfect, no hard music not alot of talking just straight raw video.

[@dontaft156]

IMPRESSIVE! Thank you for keeping it natural without the moronic head-banger music and mindless digital video effects that the so called professionals inundate their work with these days. Great ambient audio makes this even better. As a 30 year veteran of industrial/commercial video production and bow hunting you guys got it right. DO NOT change your style, no matter what any idiot, half-wit, 30 something marketing expert tells you. Congrats, I'm hooked-a subscriber!

[@HarleyRider-th7kv]

Nice buck. Looks no older than 3 years old. Good shot placement also. Great gob. Back strap on the grill.

[@HairwiththeHide]

Hey guys that's a great video, who ever was running the camera did a great job! Nice Buck, great camera work!

[@antwon1282]

Y'all did a great job. Great placement of the stand, great shot, great camera running and awesome buck!

[@HarleyRider-th7kv]

That bad boy was so close that you could have jumped out of your tree and on its back and held on for 8 seconds. Great work! Season opens here in Missouri next week. I can't wait! I'll be out there trying to get one with velvet.

[@alfbittner6489]

4 Yards pop one in the boiler room and a clean pass through at that. It's great when a couple of mates can go out early and git up a tree one film and one shoot. I had fun watching, you guy's were having a laugh, good hunt, cheers from Oz.

[@nicholasvalentine6273]

That is a great looking buck. I live in TC and I thought we had nice bucks in Leelanau, but wow. Great hunt!

[@speedmouse100]

Ahh, fresh groceries. Nice job, both of you. Sure is sweet when it all comes together like that.

[@jcford84]

Awesome video!! Cant wait till October already

[@deanzhot12]

A young buck...! A couple of years and this buck would have been a true monster...! Good genetics, just young...!

[@JeffreyCain86]

A young stud. Looks about 3. Nice for public land....

[@chrissmith-qt1ji]

nice work man. beautiful buck. those ram cats do work.

[@campdude66]

Pa would have been proud there Opie!

[@hawkboy1792]

That was an EXCELLENT shot by the way :] congratulations

[@TheCondor300]

Thats a 2 1/2 year buck... healthy and it has good genetics. At 4 to 6 years old it would have been a monster!

[@dablaugntximntxub2318]

+George Adams yup....still a very young deer and has great genetic..if that was my property i wouldn't take him yet...give him time and food then he'll be a monster in 2yrs..but if that was his first bow deer then it's understandable..

[@BackwoodsBrothers]

awesome video! good camera work and angles!

[@brettharnisch6952]

Awesome video! Good job fellas!

[@c0derealitydotcom]

Did you guys hear the ducks in the background? This is what hunting is all about!

[@FirstLightGear]

It was a spectacular morning.

[@kyletango]

+None Ya I believe those ducks are called geese. LOL

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

YOU'RE QUACKIN ME UP !

[@allangolf]

Geese and Sandhill cranes

[@iceblueeyes9455]

[@bwannadick2340]

Nice job,And I love that sound too."Nice deer man.

[@tp7393]

I had a buck at 8' but he was a spike. Congratulations

[@5153flash]

Very hard to get a buck like that close,,and having 2 people there is twice as hard. The smell is twice as much. You got very lucky. Good job

[@klistercat1]

Nice, great cam. work! What part of Michigan Having it mounted?

[@vico.2514]

Hey great buck! And great video quality. What type of camera is this and what did you use to convert your file?

[@PastorPeewee20]

awesome buck guys

[@2GUYZFISHING]

Great footage and great shot!

[@oneg1970]

That was fun to watch buddy.

[@1234tric]

Nice shot, and buck. You didn't make the mistake of stopping him then shooting. You just whacked him. Great job.

[@klrinstinct3503]

1234tric A mistake when you stop them? Please educate me and tell me how a moving target is better than a stationary target?

[@HankAvink]

Look at young Adam. Good stuff dude.

[@RyanMonroe0910]

alot of respect for bow hunters. Im still working on how to get them to come close enough to get a shot. I cant even get a doe within 30 yards before they scent me or see me and haul. nice work.

[@Stemp334]

make sure your at least 18 feet up and wear some scent lock!

[@sandystarfish21]

spray down with good scent blocker. Also if you are hunting in a tree make sure you have good camo and have a little bit of cover in front of yourself or if you dont have a treestand get a good groundblind and put brush on it to cover it up oh and wear black facepaint or a mask for either way of hunting it takes the glare out of your face

[@pfalky2k]

Paul can you hunt deer on the ground with a bow? no tree stands?

[@Stemp334]

pfalky2k absolutely! Its a lot harder though. Just have to be as still as possible

[@sinbad20001]

Ryan Monroe The best thing to smell like in the deer woods is nothing! Wash yourself and your clothes with scentless soap, use the scent killer on everything (bow, bags, hat boots, etc...) Put yourself down wind of the trail if possible. Move cautiously as if you were being watched at all times. Use any attractant that is legal in your state. I like to mix up a package of strawberry Koolade and pour it all over the tress 20 yards out.

[@buckmastertate1]

What camera were u using. very clear

[@run5077]

How high up were you in the tree? Nice job by the way.

[@weldermike7017]

Way to go man, nice job!!!!!

[@4nik8uobama]

nice vid. how far were you up in that tree? looks like you are a tall guy and almost could have stood on the ground and been just as far up .

[@joshkiel4940]

got a nice 10 point last year of November opening gun in Michigan

[@Akayamtech]

Nice job bud. I knew you weren't very high. Like 7 feet. Lol. Lol. Congrats.

[@1981benbauer]

[@OnTheFritz602]

[@TannerBanksOutdoors]

[@portugal5698]

What did he score?

[@tcjr477]

what camera u useing

[@ronaldmast2684]

hes a young 2 or 3 yr old. he would of been a stud if he would of made it past 5 yrs.

[@hanswurscht6625]

hey guys! good video! what regulations are there to hunting? i'm from germany so i've no clue about it ;-)

[@onenationhere]

Hi Hans, regulations are way more lax here in the states. Look up Michigan DNR for deer hunting rules. I just hunted with a friend from Germany in Michigan last November. We had a great deer camp. You should come try it.

[@bdub7826]

I like your response what did we kill much respect

[@donwilson350]

Really nice Deer for Michigan I live there its not easy to get a monster like that

[@stevegunderson9091]

[@pallbearers1969]

[@hillshepherd9444]

I don't think I would bounce up & down on a Climber stand ..........................

[@BoneCollector-dl5tu]

You should let me come take some of those geese and ducks off your hands.

[@MrBkw1122]

Nice Job! Bowhunting Forever- You are welcome to come to Wyoming and hunt with me any time! And to all you haters- i don't really like pro-wrestling, but i don't go on their fan sites to tell them that- Good For Them! They have something they LOVE! As do we- Bowhunting is a art and a religion to us. Lets see you feed yourself from nature for one day. OR- stay at your murder factory grocery store with your chemical food and stay out of my woods.

[@joemitchell7029]

Nice deer, he would of been busted by a Alabama deer hunting 4 foot high in that stand.

[@andrewlarkin5239]

That deers tiny lol

[@chrissmith-qt1ji]

seriously you're gonna make fun of him? it's a nice buck! little young but had a great shot and meat in the fridge go troll somewhere else loser.

[@eduardofernandes4820]

Good morning, good friend video I'm from Brazil and I like to hunt this chair is its practice, you can send her picture to see if I give to an equal.

[@andrewlarkin5239]

Bruh that made no sense

[@jbolin105]

looks like the guy was only about 10 foot off the ground. should of just hunted off the ground.

[@dablaugntximntxub2318]

+jbolin105 you don't need to be up so high like most hunter do, just as long as you know the wind direction is blowing to..i don't hunt no more than 10' of the ground..i just get up to see and a better view, just as long as you don't position yourself right on the trail or else the deer will look up at you..i killed my 130 class non typical in velvet only at 6 feet high..

[@jbolin105]

+ruam pob I guess if you can get by with it that's fine. Here in the big hills of southern ohio you can never count on the wind. Rule of thumb here is if you dont like the way the wind is blowing just wait about 10 minutes it will change. So it is a lot better to hunt high and be as scent free as possible. I guess after 25 years of hunting around 25 feet it just seems weird to see someone hunt that low.

[@projecttomorrow4717]

I hate to bust the bubble but that isn't hunting. when thou are on a reserve with fences and 40 bucks per acre you are bound to get something. yes it was a nice one and a good shot. but in 30 yrs of deer hunting, some in jackson mich. mostly in middle tn. deer like that only get that close to you for a couple reasons. 1 bait everywhere, 2 nowhere else to go ie. not enough room. and 3 accidental. ie. running from another hunter that just closed their truck door 2 miles away. everywhere I've ever been deer aren't stupid . you will hunt religiously for weeks morning and night some full days and you'll be lucky to even see a buck and happy to get a doe. I tagged out almost every season on my bucks most were 6 pt a couple better but limit was 2 and we all went every open season day, rain or shine. one look at your location. Your sitting under afeeder. How do iknow you ask I can count 4 deer stands in the single frame 2 ladder stands and 2 portable. and that is just wit one camera angle lol. what ever floats you boat I guess

[@josh19852008]

+PROJECT TOMORROW Okay I have had many Deer walk within 8 yards of me while hunting from a blind, and there are plenty of other areas for the deer to go which also means there is plenty of room. Where I hunt it is impossible for them to get spooked because the property I hunt is butted up against a property that no one is allowed to hunt. I lay corn year around which you think seems to make them come, and yet on my trail camera I guarantee I can put it in that spot with no corn for three months and deer still come. Fact is it has nothing to do with the corn because if it did I would be tagged out in less than a month. I just now tagged out three months in with only a month to go, and I put a lot of time in. If you think feeding deer is bad well then lets talk about the ones that starve to death! From the sounds of it you are just a jealous hunter that has never gotten this nice of a buck, and the truth is neither have I. I worry about meat in my freezer before I worry about a trophy. I have seen Deer nicer than that this year! So lets just say you really do not know what you are talking about especially when it comes to people hanging multiple stands. They play the wind and walk a specific way to each stand so the wind is in their favor.

[@theangusburger30]

Sounds like you hunt pretty poor property. If you property manage it (I.E limiting human scent/disturbance, hinge cutting, food plots, habitat management/creation) you can create a deer Utopia on parcels as small as 3 acres. This video could not be a better example of true hunting.

[@andrewlarkin5239]

+TheCigarGuy that deer is a tiny 8 point in 13 and here in Iowa my first deer was a 9 point way bigger than that

[@josh19852008]

Andrew Larkin Doesn't matter! So what if yours was bigger? Why not be happy for a successful harvest that will put food on the table? That is what true hunting is about!

[@chrissmith-qt1ji]

+TheCigarGuy I agree 100% my first but was a year old. I hate it when people trash someone else's deer.

[@pfalky2k]

I couldn't be so joyous about killing an animal. I would be damn glad of the meat though, & ecstatic if I made such a clean kill. good shot. good kill. hope the venison was damn fine

[@08logcabin]

GROW UP smoked! acting a like a teen ager also thats a young deer

[@HarleyRider-th7kv]

Nice buck. Looks no older than 3 years old. Good shot placement also. Great gob. Back strap on the grill.

[@BoneCollector-dl5tu]
