BACK PORCH HEART SHOT! Winter Buck Hunt with Long Range Rifle

The Texas hunting season is winding down and I still haven't harvested a whitetail deer! Today I'm taking out my new 6.8 Western longe range hunting rifle but I'm hit with heavy fog and greatly reduced visibility, causing bucks to appear out of the mist with little time to get a shot.

Yikes! Man what a buck that jumped out of the pen. 🤦‍♂️. Hope u have another opportunity at that one

[@cheesemuffin4726]

mullet man shot it

[@dubsoutdoors1667]

No kiddin that sucker was huge

[@andrewwolf4963]

Yeah I was screaming before be shot LOOK LEFT and I didn’t realize it was bigger until it jumped huge buck

[@jtoutdoors5592]

Mulletman already shot him in the same position

[@tanneradams20]

One of those “is what is is” kinda things. That buck that was taken needed to be harvested. No telling how many daughters he’s bred back.

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

That other buck with the nice rack, OMG I can't stop laughing. He was eating, heard the shot, looked over and saw his buddy down, like what's wrong with Bill, OH SHIT! He hurdled that fence and got the hell outta there, like he turned his body when he jumped the fence like he had a hoof down vaulting over it 😂

[@edwardalvarado8889]

[@johns5263]

I’m a simple mans. I see rackley post and I click. Watching his videos is a good way to relax and learn a few things about life and the outdoors.

[@camronking7947]

The deer that jumped the gate when you shot your buck was definitely a trophy buck. I thought it was funny you played it back in slow mo, and as you was saying your buck wasn’t a trophy, the trophy was leaping the gate lol

[@austinfowler7863]

[@THEHuntingChannel]

Haha, true! I didn't even notice it.

[@tristan2521]

does he relize the giant was ion the plot too 🤣🤣😂

[@samhepl]

I’m not too familiar with aging deer from Texas. I do know that they tend to have smaller bodies, however, where I’m from that deer doesn’t look a day over 4 at best and we don’t even have huge bucks around here. I understand tell the antler genetics in him suck, but his body doesn’t seem anywhere near 6 years old. Maybe I’m wrong. Let me know what you guys think👍🏼

[@zach_6.813]

Where I’m from that deer looks 2.5-3.5 with those front legs being that short. Body isn’t real deep, neck doesn’t go way down in the brisket. Usually as a deer ages the front legs and shoulders continuously grow to where eventually the back levels out, and older deer, the front shoulders will eventually be higher than the rump.

[@FSOutdoorAdventures]

He didn't goooo 20!!! Great shot!

[@bdwilcox]

Porch deer. LOL. Next deer will tap on your car window to wake you up and say, "I'm here to be harvested, Mr. Rackley."

[@lawrencefranck9417]

You could have a Super Bowl party on the back porch at 178 yards and the deer wouldn’t care.

[@scottjackson1636]

Nice buck my man. I can finally relate, I got my first buck ever this year. Only been into trying to hunt for the last 3 years, but as a truck driver my time to hunt is limited. My first year, someone else got one on the property where I live, the second year... well lets just say I learned valuable lessons on good scope mounts and sighting a rifle in. Had my scope and mount fall right off the rifle. I missed an AWESOME buck so many times that year. And trust me when I say my buddies did not let me live that down. But I got my first this year. 120 yrd frontal shot on a good 8 point. straight through the rib into lungs. He took 2 leaps and spun around and fell. All with a heavily upgraded 1942 Mosin Nagant. I'm hooked now. Love your hunting videos. Have a great holiday season!

[@Timberjo2]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing LFG. Can't wait to see more with your dad.

[@THEHuntingChannel]

Great video man, very entertaining. I'm glad you got the buck. Doesn't have to be a trophy, it should be a good hunt.

[@AfricanSunProductions]

Agreed! A good hunt is enjoyable and makes for good video.

[@justnaturesmusic2133]

Yes, a good hunt. I liked it.

[@jimbokyzar8170]

Congrats on the great buck and thanks for staying on the platform despite them cracking down on hunting videos. I really enjoy your content been watching for a couple years.

[@Lmgoutdoors]

Love your channel hope y’all are having a great day please gun tour please

[@harpermartin4896]

Great shooting LFG, one way I’ve learned to guess the age on a deer is their nose, a young deer with have a longer more pointed nose while a older deer’s nose is more blunt and rounded. Great hunt and putting more meat in the freezer!

[@uncleval1250]

Congrats on the buck and hoping you and the growing family had a Merry Christmas!! 🤠👍

[@johnprestonii871]

Justin bro you have inspired me to get back out there and hunt. I grew up hunting but life and career kinda put a stop to that for the past 10 years or so. I definitely miss it after watching your videos. If you ever need a hunting buddy who you want to take under your wing, I’ll be thrilled to be that guy.

[@aaronsmith21]

That other buck was WAY bigger! Great shot and video.

[@256bassfishing]

That is a beautiful day to end the evening! I love watching your channel. Out of all the Googans, you're the one that's on my bucket list to want to meet and be around. Please don't forget us on KZbin because I'll be very sad face if your content primarily goes to the Googan's own video site.

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

It's always nice when they come right to your porch! Lol What a deer!

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Congrats on the 1st Whitetail of the season Brother 👊🏼😎! Cant wait for the next episodes with LFD and also the new recipes. Cheers from California 🤙🏼

[@quick8236]

Loved the jacket sneak LFG. Nice video as always bud

[@robertjordan2962]

Congratulations Justin! Nice shot! Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year bud!!

[@addos7965]

The big buck we saw jump the rail was shot by Mullet Man go see it on his channel. And Justin respect for going for a mature buck clears space for young bucks to mate very admirable. And it looked great. Great job!!!

[@samsuttle5556]

Congrats LFG, nice shooting, you and your family have a great new year !!!!

[@rockcreekoutdoors5965]

nice buck! i always aim for the shoulder with a gun. .270 corelokt usually drops them in their tracks!

[@toranfuglseth7049]

There's nothing wrong with that bucks rack. Looks big to me. That was a pin point shot! Well done, great hunt.

[@mattquinlan4629]

Merry Christmas. Love the father son stuff!! Happy you got one at the ranch.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Nice buck dude! Haven't shot a 6.8 Western, looks like it's pretty accurate.

[@joshtucker839]

So proud and happy for you brother, you deserve it.

[@eriesniper]

Great Hunt LFG! I've always liked your style of edits too.

[@SB-fk2ts]

Great job!!! Way to stay with it and not giving up when it got rough going.

[@billwhite7099]

It's all about shot placement. The buck that jumped out of the feed pen, looked older, his antlers were definitely bigger. That's a nice porch stand though, for sure.

[@jasonhill6369]

Antlers actually get smaller the older they get. A guy around here has 9 years of antlers from a buck and after year 6 they got smaller

[@billwhite7099]

@@jasonhill6369 that can be true, but the body doesn't generally shrink. If you look back at the shot the buck that jumps out toward the camera is clearly larger in body size.

[@ReubenOaks84]

Not all bucks loose mass after 5 or 6 years old although it is common.

[@cajuncountry4885]

he didnt shoot that bigger buck because i believe it is the one that mullet man was after

[@logandugger4210]

10 point is definitely more mature. the 7 point is like 2.5 or 3 years old. not 6+😂

[@michaellindsey13]

nice shootin LFG. one thing that i notice on many hunting videos is deer running off after being hit. of the many deer ive shot, ive had 1 run off. the rest drop straight down. 30-06,308,300blackout or 6.5 grendel is what i use. i usually take a heart, shoulder or neck shot.

[@billwhite7099]

Shot placement is key.

Well brother we enjoy it just as much as you do when you spend time with your dad especially when your video it. Congratulations on your buck keep the badass content coming.

Congratulations! I'm also 0 for the season so far. Hopefully I can get out one more time and bring some meat home. Merry Christmas and a blessed 2022!

Looks like that big ten that MM kills is at the feeder when you shot that old seven pointer. Guess you drew the short straw........

[@geraldbizot5770]

Nice buck Justin. Think the one that jumped was the 10 point. Just means you get him next season 😀

Was just watching a two-year-old video of you catching sunfish .I just Googled article on new world record 6lb & something sunfish in Arizona.would love to see googan Squad,especially the Originals complete to catch the next world record out there. altogether or separate trips with families,maybe some of the wives would like to try. that I would love to see. best wishes to all.

[@hinben]

What an amazing feeling filling a tag and loading up a deer. So happy for you! A cull buck that you're after can feel as good or better than a trophy especially when just trying to fill the freezer

[@slugoo6474]

no such thing as a cull buck.

[@MikeFromUlta]

Keep it up!

[@tjames525]

Love that 6.8

I watched the video of Mike getting his buck off the porch too. Funny how y'all went all over the lease and sat forever in blinds when all you had to do was chill on the back porch 🤭

Nice buck LFG, Il see if i can get myself one on sunday here in Mexico. Happy new year!!!

Congrats on the nice buck. You need to get the side-shot phone camera scope mount. I use it with my phone the video quality is awesome. Utahairguns sells it. Would be perfect for your Airforce pellet rifle too. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year.

Awesome buck a very nice deer to take out looks like he is about 4 1/2 to5 1/2 years old from my knowledge with white tail

Great shooting

[@comiketiger]

Great shot! That's the way I like them to drop. May God continue to bless you in the coming year.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Went back and checked it out, looks like the 10 pt is what hopped over the fence and made a beeline to the woods. But really nice shot on “da Dropped in tracks” deer!!!

[@randybryant9936]

Nice job

[@jungleoflaos7996]

Nice buck

[@dustinh4175]

One time when me and my little brother were kids we were sitting on the giant trampoline i was practicing my hyper hot cow call and all the neighborhood deer came down the hill and surrounded us. 15 does like 2 feet away for ten minutes trying to figure us out.
