Seeing the blur from that bullet go towards that deer was one of the coolest parts of the video. Wow

@@2cthetruthstill the quickest death he was offered by Mother Nature. It happens and they are ethical to the core. Bullet with the buck rearing up was awesome footage

[@knotengajin7359]

@@BooRayWiscoTrue that. Lots of predators begin eating while the prey is still alive and kicking. Coyotes kill mature death through blood loss and shock from multiple bite wounds during extended chases. “Old age” deaths are due to starvation from worn down, ineffective teeth.

[@Buckdog37]

I got to say I'm 51yo and I haven't seen a group of young men as dedicated to recovering an animal as this. Proud of yall. This is the pinnacle of what a good hunting video is. Great job.

[@Buckdog37]

@TheHuntingPublic._ what? A gift?

[@rickjm59]

Greg is an amazing camera man, the best!

[@leahcasey9547]

I could tell that he was hit front of leg, brisket area but what I will say the way y’all handled that after the shot was top notch. This should be taught to every hunter. Without y’all’s patience, you would of never recovered that deer and not sure he would of died from the shot but probably the coyotes would of finally caught him and ended it that way so thank you for showing such sportsmanship in recovering this amazing buck. Congratulations.

[@2cthetruth]

What should be taught to everyone is do NOT take unethical shots. If you don’t have a clear path to the vitals, don’t risk making the animal suffer by guessing like this doofus did.

[@m.carter20]

Rather be a doofus than an asshole!

[@bumpkinrocks]

Certainly a what NOT to do video! Taking a long shot on an obscured animal isn't the way it's done for many good reasons. At least they followed up on him and dispatched him eventually. Hopefully he'll learn but I doubt it!

[@melissapezzuti1388]

200 yards with vegetation obstructing...Not to mention he's in Iowa, where that's NOT a big buck, and these dudes hunt everyday. I'm embarrassed for them.

[@scottwood1143]

The only video we all saw was from a separate camera - not from the shooter’s scope. So maybe you’re speaking out of turn my friend.

[@JimRyser]

When Greg says, “I think u got him” two things. He’s watched it for 15 minutes back and forth. And secondly, he’s sure of his statement. Jake’s hunts have been my best teacher this year. Never assume.

It’s good you guys have such a good relationship. Good friends making memories to last your lifetimes. Their are some of us who are coming to the end of our trails. Your hunts bring back good memories at least for me. Keep them coming,I’ll be waiting for more.

[@jasonsheefy6080]

I really enjoy the “what we learned from this hunt” portion of the videos. Always something to be learned

[@russellwatters5891]

That buck was a warrior, and ya'll did him right by not giving up. The shot looked good to me as well, at least he presented another. Great ethics, great merch! Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@YsoSeriouss85]

Man I just love you guys, wish I had a group of friends to hunt with. Teamwork played a huge role in this episode, great job gentlemen

[@71balee]

I can't say it enough! THP is by far the best hunting show out there. You guys do a great job taking us along with you for the hunt. Keep up the great work!

[@MidwesternTrapper]

Man just when you think you guys can’t get any cooler footage, then you get the vapor trail off the shot!?!?! Man you guys are THE BEST in the business hands down

[@upatree10]

THP is probably my favorite KZbin channel, because I feel like when I was a younger man, you are the type of guys that I would have been hanging with. My favorite part is the friendships that you guys have forged while putting out content that is second to none. I wish you guys all the success in the world!

[@strutter1989]

Absolutely love seeing Nick back again. His humor really jives with everyone else it seems. Such a great addition to the crew.

[@claytonswartz6223]

Jake is so good at being methodical and smart. Both his last 2 bucks I probably would've blown out of the bed and never seen again before watching the videos. Love picking up tips from both your successes and failures.

[@ericnelson3374]

That echo of that last shot seemed to go on for an incredibley long time. Congratulations Jake. You did everything right to find that buck.

[@burkejones8277]

When I saw the deer’s reaction and the way the blood trail looked, I knew it would be a long night for y’all. I am glad you got him, and I am glad you followed up with what happened with the shot. I have tracked a bunch of blood trails, and at times, I have convinced myself the shot was better than it was. But that is part for the process. Thanks for putting it out there.

Great job, gentlemen! You deserve praise for this hunt. Professional levels of patience and understanding. We have all learned many lessons from you fine folks. Thank you.

[@Dr10Jeeps]

You guys are fun to watch.....and you are excellent hunters!

[@doncook3584]

Editing all the ups and downs into an entertaining and interesting story is equally unparalleled especially when not one of these guys know how it will play out. Amazing

[@alexkvanli]

Incredible film from start to finish- the hunt, the bullet, the track, the decision making, the coyotes howling, and the kill shot. Incredible!

[@avc2264ify]

Hey Jake….when you film your family hunt this year…it needs to last longer than 20 minutes. That’s my favorite hunt of the year. I love all the video…you at the restaurant…the camp…hunting. It makes me wish my dad was still around. Love this hunt buddy.

[@bustinbass78]

I liked the follow-up shot. It rang out for 30 seconds, and then he exhaled a cloud of superheated air from holding his breath. The best part is knowing everyone within ear shot heard it and knew a biggin hit the dirt.

[@bjmgolf3651]

Excellent job guys in staying with the process. That is one feisty buck! Great footage of the hunt and highlighting the steps! Well done

[@bbillythesailor]

Excellent hunt and your recovery was text book. Reminds me to go slow and careful for this hunting season.

[@IowaCoyotes]

My daughter an i love watching this videos, she says they’re really good at shooting them but not so good at finding them without their camera stuff. 😂

[@IowaCoyotes]

Technology gets people handicapped 😢 we have always just sneaked after them

[@jasonherron4199]

I think the moral of this video is not to shoot until you have a clear shot.

[@johnanderson6329]

I agree. That’s the problem with public hunts sometimes. There’s not opportunity for shredding shooting lanes like a lease or owned property. Key thing is to be patient and hope for a better shot.

[@Big_DaddyDave]

Y’all need to record more videos in that format. The vapor trail was next level.

[@BlakeSanom-qm1zf]

I appreciate the way you guys are in general the way you hunt is a bonus ..ethical and genuine

[@johnanderson6329]

It was a good follow up and finish, however I’m not sure the first shot was an ethical shot. We’ve all had bad shots, I’m by no means perfect, but taking a shot through that much tall grass and while the bucks head was down presents an opportunity for it move, and then you’re really not placing your shot into the intended area. The fact that at that range you’d likely need to account for bullet drop, and dropping even more due the deflection of the additional grass, means he got really lucky to have hit it at all. The fact this deer didn’t bleed out and die until his second shot 12 hrs later puts it into the unethical range.

[@scott2hott854]

You boys are some killers. Loving jake's hunts lately

[@robertfmccarthy2360]

Enjoy watching Jake, great demeanor

[@LS-sv7bo]

you can see the grass part a path as the bullet goes, so cool to see it. I've seen it with leaves in the woods but first time with grass. as always good stuff yall.

[@shaneluckey09]

That was definitely a mature buck. Great hunt Jake and an awesome whitetail

[@captaincripple7218]

I completely understand we need to abide by laws in regards to shooting hours especially with the scrutiny these guys can be under with the YT channel! But honest question wouldn’t it be better as sportsman to end the deers agony and shoot after shooting light? It’s all with interpretation of the law I’m just curious what the law would say if they did shoot and put it down when they first found it during the track…?

[@jerryscray1789]

Highly illegal would you want to lose your gun and hunting privileges

[@captaincripple7218]

@@jerryscray1789 if you have a clean ethical anchoring shot on a deer your tracking after dark I highly doubt any DNR officer is going to take away your hunting privileges and firearm if you did decide to end the animal’s suffering.

[@paulw4924]

@@jerryscray1789I’ll risk it to put the deer out of its misery. My job is to make sure it doesn’t suffer.

[@PholdingFeasants]

I would imagine it’s illegal because of how easy it would be to misexecute the finishing shot in the dark. Not just taking the shot but confirming it’s the same deer as the one you wounded. Also for DNR sake I would think hearing shots at dark is a good indicator of illegal harvesting.

[@conservativestatesofamerica]

Most game wardens will completely understand and not say a word, but filming it is a different story. I would have ended it when Jake could see him from the log. But they would have had to edit it out

[@John-pp6mf]

I have some rough days but when THP drops a new show it ain’t so bad no more. It absolutely puts me in a better head space. 👍

[@victornelson5307]

Great harvest you guy’s, reminds me of my Dad and brothers and our hunting in mostly Northern California, Eastern Oregon, Wyoming, and Idaho! Nothing like fresh venison, save some for us!

[@mikeb6555]

[@lawrencehaley1084]

I just watched this videos. I hunted before I moved to Chicago. You did a good job. Bill Winkie has a couple videos where he hit. One like that. Some can survive that shot. If shot early he said he would keep pushing the deer so it doesn't stop bleeding. And he never found it. He was sure it was a good enough shot. You did everything right.

I read one time from an expert tracker. That if you have to leave a deer lay overnight and you're worried about coyotes, leave a jacket on a tree, and that will leave your scent and keep the coyotes away.

[@brentmitchell6411]

We need a cooking with THP (Ok, Nick) series. The crew does enough traveling and stomping about that you have to have figured out good traveling grub. Combine that with having more chances to cook up fresh venison than most, you've got some winning content.
