[@Cuz411]

once again I'm amazed. You guys are really good at this LOL. Aaron's reaction was so good, second shot is always a blessing if possible. Once he's hit all bets are off. Great video, great plan, great episode.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Cuz!

[@msurussell]

Positive feedback from one of the greatest, Cuz Strickland!

[@sdf1990]

i feel the exact same!

[@jagaffey]

Cuz, I truly think the THP crew is changing hunting like you and the primos crew changed outdoor videos back in the day.. I wore out the original truth Turkey vhs tapes. And the THP deer tour/ and turkey tour feels every bit as influential

[@Cuz411]

Probably. I’m a huge fan of those guys. They are showing that you can enjoy hunting on public land. Don’t need a huge chunk of private land. That’s priceless

[@jonathandentonfishing]

Honestly the best part about the kill videos is when they sit down by the deer and explain what actually happened and how it worked is absolutely awesome it gives such a in depth look into how, why, and when to do things

[@NativeToNature]

Absolutely love and FULLY support the surprise kill videos guys. I’m always pumped when y’all knock one down , but the surprise factor makes it feel like I’m there in the moment with you. It’s the unexpected events that keep me excited in the woods. Thanks for everything you guys do.

[@mervjb809]

I thought it looked like a good shot. I wasn't sure why he was so concerned. Good job

[@davidcross5688]

looked like an awesome shot to me also!

[@tyhep9er820]

As it did to me also. Looked to be tucked in tight behind the shoulder, while the deer was quartering to.

[@jonahtw]

Same! One thing I’ve learned watching this show is these boys can shoot!!! Much respect

[@Jacob_6420]

2nd shot was horrible

[@jonahtw]

Jacob _6420 first shot was money so I don’t get your point

[@chrisp6247]

You guys make hunting on the ground look easy. Nice job once again! Oh and Give mindy a bow she was covered up in bucks.

[@waynebrown7700]

That buck came in posturing up looking for a fight! When you took the shot I said out loud, you smoked him. The shot looked good from my view. I was thinking like Ted, he looked like he was staggering before the second shot. Congratulations on a great buck.

[@burkejones8277]

I really liked how much focus was put in shot analysis. When I used to bow hunt, I shot a buck one evening that I would have sworn was perfectly broadside. He was actually slightly quartering to me. Arrow went right behind the shoulder, and he ran off like a double lung hit. Arrow was totally green on the exit. Friend said a total gut shot. I argued that he had to be quartering to and shot was good. We found him that night, around midnight. Post mortem showed one solid lung, back of the second lung, liver, and stomach. The slightest angle changes everything, and people don’t always understand that these days. This video probably helped some people.

[@Deepcreekacres]

You are one humble dude Warb. One of the reasons I'm ok with my 10 yr old binge watching THP with me. You guys are model sportsmen for the little dudes coming up behind you. We love it.

[@TheOutdoorDude]

I love that shot at the end. The Birds eye shot of all of you hanging out as a group discussing the days hunt. A great depiction of the friendship you all share. You all seem genuinely happy for each others hunting success. I think its rubbing off on the youtube hunting culture. Thank you for setting such a good example for the next generation of hunters coming into this beautiful sport!

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Definitely! I bet that’s how it was done centuries ago in a tight nit tribe one of em gets a kill and everyone works together hangs out and talks about the hunt! It’s just salt of the earth people! THP is the essence of the north American hunter!

[@nicmeador8866]

I've watched this at least a dozen times and everytime I can feel the almost regret as soon as the shots are made. Any other big wig hunting show would be first pumping and saying they smoked him. This right here is why THP is the top deer hunting show of all.

[@archiewilliams6140]

What I love the most about THP is the camaraderie this guys share at such a young age. They will definitely have these memories for a long, long time.

[@shadowdawg04]

Ground hunting seven years now - pure rush! Love Aaron's thoughts about shots! Any hunter who wants the glory must also bear the blame when things go wrong. Great video as usual!

[@johncarpenter9228]

Thank you, for getting the biggen, with the help of herman, he did an amazing job, getting the big one to posture in, and he turned just right, with his lip curled, you know he was looking to fight. Great video, congrats on a nice deer.

[@BillGockeler]

All due respect for Aaron's intense focus on always making a good, clean kill. Nothing turns me off more than a happy hunter after a poor shot. Great job Aaron. You're a real pro.

[@grahamroberts6508]

You guys can't even drive down the road without killing a nice buck lol. Great Vid.

[@wesleyjackson4886]

Jake with the zingers! "If it were his first deer I'd say he was doing a good job. " "no, we don't wanna be too early. " Haha! Another excellent video guys. Thank you. Keep it up!

[@TrentWilliamsOutdoors1]

“Ch ch ch ch cht cht chted Ted Ted Ted” 😂😂😂 I also love the classic Aaron freak outs!

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

😂😂😭😭

[@tylerpeterson9873]

Have never hunted from the ground with a bow before...then started watching THP. Last week, first hunt from the ground with a bow = multiple deer within 10 yards and I harvested a nice 8 point buck at 25 yards. Really love this channel and all the wisdom you guys offer us viewers. Keep it up!

[@williamrickmond9673]

Thank you guys. Please continue to change the hunting industry. Future generations will benefit.

[@mattloomis5386]

Congrats! When I saw the map with wind direction, and then the actual set up, I said "It's crazy enough that it just might work!" I've been hunting more "just off wind" set ups after watching you guys. You know if you rattle, or grunt they are going to try to get down wind, so your positioning of Herman and the pond, plus that little cedar offering enough cover for you to draw, put the deer in a killable 10 yard pocket. Nice job! Most guys (myself included) would have been in the tree...

[@Shootemfulloholes]

Man i must say its tough to get my adrenalin going when watching a hunting video nowadays but i felt like i was the one taking the shot, i was almost shaking!!! i love watching you guys do what you do its really something amazing and i different states no less!!. you guys should really have your own show but keeping it real like this is the way to go not the sponsored fluff!!!!! keep em coming, i keep watching!! Thanks

[@chadmcknight8830]

The year of ground hunts! I don’t care what state your hunting in, a ground kill with a bow is a serious accomplishment...congrats Aaron!

[@kylemartz2251]

Zach; “If this was his first deer it would be a good job.” My favorite comment about the deer.

[@Cupillac]

I am just in awe of the footage, quality and the awesome deer hunting these guys put out, especially on public land. Unreal!

[@mrrick682]

I hate that feeling and you can see the anguish on Aaron's face after the buck ran off. You will always be your toughest critic. Great job fellas.

[@jeffmichel4312]

First thanks Ted for such a good job catching all that. Warb ya did a hell of a job and i think you beat yourself up too much but I do the same thing and feel the same way. Its not successful unless they go down immediately. Keep preaching about shot selection and shot ethics. No one else does and ya'll are the gold standard when it comes to that topic. I truly appreciate that it is much needed. Great buck love everything you guys do. Thank the rest of the crew for me. I love seeing Aaron seal the deal he has so many heartbreaks on giants. Lets see Greg in front of the camera!!

[@chadharris7988]

I was told about you guys from my brother after 2018 season. I got to spend all offseason catching up and watching the turkey tour as well. Won’t stop watching. It’s awesome being able to follow your hunting seasons as I am in mine. Leaning from The Hunting Public and The Hunting Beast has changed my hunting/scouting experiences for the rest of my life. Thanks for everything.

[@josephlindloff6305]

Congrats, Aaron! Such a cool setup, and Ted, you crushed the footage. Awesome hunt

[@5ouncer]

Great to see the passion for the deer, and not wanting it to suffer. Congrats

[@michaelbeck7157]

CONGRATS AARON!!! Ted was all geeked up after the shot and you weren't feeling good at all. It's not a good feeling when you think you wounded an animal, we've all been there bro. Then another buck try's to take out the rest of the team. Glad everyone is ok.

[@coryeggleston1533]

I would of thrown one right in the front of chest that close, great job Aaron. Thanks for taking me to the woods today guys!

[@jimboice1453]

Great hunt Aaron! Rattling, grunting and decoying. Don't get much better than that. Great job on the camera Ted, not easy when they pop out like that to get the action captured. Another great hunt guys!

[@MatthewSmith-ju6fl]

This years footage has been absolutely incredible fellas. Congratulations to all of you on your success!

[@delculbertson2369]

Beautiful deer! Congrats Aaron! Ted seems to be a buck magnet anytime he's in the field!

[@shick86]

"If it was his first deer, he'd be doing a good job." - Jake

[@chuckwhite8365]

Way to go Warb! Another up close and personal ground game success for THP. Hats off to Ted how he let Warb have the raw “there he is” moment even though he had already spotted it

[@coreyj2878]

Man I can’t say enough about y’all straight up great guys doing it right the real deal no growing a deer for 5 years or fence in just straight up hunting the outdoors. Love it You guys would be a blast to hunt with. I like it when y’all are together hunting

[@manuelwebe]

Beyond Awesome! Last three bucks from the ground, spot & stalk white-tailed deer hunting! You guys are really changing the way to hunt WTD. Stands and even saddles no longer needed. Great show! Keep them coming and thanks for the great quality content (feel sorry for Greg & Mandy's truck though, ouch...).

[@ryanchaffee7243]

Great video. Love seeing the ribbing to each other. Listening to the comments being made about dressing the deer out reminds me so much of me and my family. My cousin and one uncle are not the best at dressing deer out and takes them a long time. My other uncle and I are always asking you want me to do that. Thanks for always producing great content!

[@jamesvatter5729]

Great hunt! Any successful hunt off the ground "eye to eye" is certainly special. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jeremyhackman273]

Your show is the best thing going right now. I've hunted the same public land area for 32 years, and I thought I had it down, but watching you guys has made me see everything in a whole different light! Keep it up fellas

[@rodneykimberlyhenry5056]

Awesome hunt, I'm surprised the deer didn't hear your heart beat he was so close. Good shot on him too, its awesome that you are so passionate to not want the deer to suffer and hard on yourself to make the best shot possible.

[@donforsey9509]

I’ve literally seen 1000’s of KZbin archery deer videos, this was one of the best footage and hunting scenarios I’ve seen. Thought there was a good chance of your cameraman getting run over. Lol. With that being said, 2 more steps and he would have been perfectly broadside and a much shorter tracking job. But that’s easy for me to say sitting on the couch with orange fingers from my Cheetos. Excellent video guys. 2 👍👍up.

[@ethanmayes8878]

i like how you don’t give away the ending in the thumbnail

[@greenpickle9606]

acarah psn me too

[@loganhockenberry5026]

Lol me to but you can see the lighted nock in it so you know he shot

[@henley_hunts9504]

You guys have the coolest hunts all the time. So much fun watching, thank you all for the time and effort going into filming these hunts!!

[@TheNaturalCalling]

I love when Greg is there. Top notch camera work!

[@wadeorgeron4385]

Met Aaron today at the Budweiser Clydesdales in MO. Asked him how his deer season was going. Already knew the answer. Love the videos. Keep em coming.

[@paulmendolia8483]

I'm enjoying your episodes so much. Aaron and Zach are so well spoken and analytics! It makes it so enjoyable. Thanks.

[@matthewsims359]

That was neat when the buck came around that little cedar all stiff legged. I would have liked to seen what he would have done to the decoy but i realize you couldn’t wait. Stay safe everybody

[@wmpugh34]

I watch your videos to get pumped before I go hunting. Congratulations .

[@huntnfish1997]

I always know that if i sit on youtube long enough watching random hunting videos I will hit refresh and see a new THP video. Dinner is gonna have to wait another half hour.

[@rondell130]

Great hunt Aaron and Ted! People that do not hunt have no idea what a sick feeling it is to think you made a bad shot on an animal. Congrats on a great deer! Glad you got him.

[@dennismaulsonjr36]

Shoot him Aaron, Shoot him when he picks his head up! my wife woke up from a nap hearing me Yell haha. Awesome Buck Man!

[@lukelamotte1455]

Congratulations Aaron on an awesome buck. You have finally reclaimed your right to be a hunter instead of a firewood getter and an editor. 2 nice bucks for you these last couple weeks. Keep up the awesome work men.

[@strutter1989]

Completely suprised again. Thanks for the spoiler free screen shot. I definately thought he was going to look up and peg you, same as you were worried about. I was a little more confident in your shot than you were though! Congrats on a great deer. Yall have inspired me. I'm planning a public land trip to Nebraska for next year. Thanks for awesome content!

[@lukejohnson7825]

Aaron still the 🐐. Also shout out to ted for incredible footy for the bois. Also Greg still the undercover villain with appreciation for every angle of every shot. One of my favorites yet

[@jennifertimmons9203]

I like the fact that you care about making a good shot to dispatch your game humanely I really enjoy your real life hunting

[@davidtennant505]

I love to ground hunt with no blind. Every deer I've killed has been on the ground with no blind. I love seeing other guys do it that way, it's a totally different excitement. Love the footage and would love to see you all continue the tactic. Thanks all

[@reynaldoayala1725]

Más de estas clases de cacería.... muy emocionantes y especiales. Fuera de lo común.

[@tso1157]

Well done! I've lost a few, and found a few still breathing... you all did the right thing and found your buck... Thanks for sharing all the aspects of bowhunting!

[@ryanmurray570]

Your guys run and gun style is awesome, you inspired me to go get after them this year. I tried a lot of different bow hunting tactics that you guys use all the time, made for a great season!!! Keep it up love the content!!!

[@Masonjar94]

Looked like with a quartering towards a perfect shot placement to me

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Yes it was much better than we thought immediately after the shot. It zipped through him so fast, both of us thought it was back

[@dennisknepp1616]

@@TheHuntingPublic what about the second shot ? I didn't catch the placement on that.

[@Masonjar94]

The Hunting Public as soon as it hit I literally said “smoked em” I have faith in you Warb

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Heart felt brother. No hunter wants a bad hit nor for him to suffer out. The shot looked like a good hit to me but his tail was up until he turned and the tail went down and quivered which says he’s hurt. It looked like the second shot went into a artery area.

[@TheK2008]

Good video guys. I like watching Aaron hunt. I like how you stress the importants of a good shot, and the recovery process. I have learned a lot from it. Keep up the good work. Congradulations!

[@markwheeler202]

One of my favorite videos, guys. All the elements of ethical hunting.

[@LillyLegacyWWOD]

This is the best episode lol, I am dying laughing at the comedy of the entire day. Fantastic guys, keep it coming!

[@haulingbasstv9793]

man that yota crumpled like a stale piece of bread! awesome show guys! herman does it again!

[@fatheremmons85]

That was awesome! I LOVE bowhunting on the ground. Such a challenge to pull off sometimes but when it works theres nothing like it. Great job!

[@craufurdgoodwin3835]

You are all knowledgeable and experienced hunters but most importantly, you are compassionate hunters. Respect.

[@GaCracker69]

Best hunting videos, anywhere... period. Ya'll guys are some outstanding outdoorsman and a credit to the sport of deer hunting. Congrats on a great buck.

[@danthesafariguy]

Awesome hunt as usual guys! Keep up the good work. Loved the message about public land at the end there!

[@thecaptainonline]

Oh C'mon....how awesome is that! Nicely done Aaron...and Tedly!

[@bjbartlett96]

Congrats! Nice buck, nice hunt and great land diagnosis... I've started bow hunting again after 25 years and appreciate the analysis on each of your hunts.

[@christophereastwood8275]

Congrats fellas!! I was able to tag out this year in CT and PA due in large part because of the tactics I've learned from your videos and podcasts, thanks for what you do, and keep the great content coming!! Truly inspiring!

[@bigkyle7395]

Another awesome hunt guys, keep um coming. Nothing like getting it done from the ground, congrats!!!!

[@noize93]

These guys show how to do it! You don’t need to have tons of sponsors to seal the deal. I love how they make do with what they have like all of us average Joes! Keep it real! Don’t go corporate and don’t sell out. I love the channel!!

[@timmystraight4163]

By far the best hunting videos on KZbin! You guys have made it to where I just about don’t enjoy any other hunting videos. Great job!! Keep’em coming.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Quartering to shots usually end up in a lost deer, better to let him walk than risk it. If you want to see your buck fall over, skewer him if he gives you a quartering away shot. Glad you got him, love watching.

[@timothyknutsen5212]

Great hunt and a good shot Aaron. Follow up shots are never easy to get off let alone be the man and making contact. Way to keep your cool and wits about you. Good job on your set up. Even without much cover you were definitely in the right place, you the man on this hunt.

[@anthonytyler8627]

I got a personal best this year with a spike at 5 yards from me. Just watched him and didnt shoot him but made a video with my action camera. I know with this big boy at 10 I really give you props for holding it together to make that shot. Congratulations!

[@joenoonan8242]

Love how most the crew was there to help out love you guys keep it up!

Congrats on a great buck! That was a cool hunt with a great ending! Love the episodes guys! Looking forward to the rest of the season!

[@djbradles]

Exciting stuff! Would love to have a group hunt like this on such fertile hunting land.

[@mdrewhall]

You guys are a blast to watch. Appreciate the authenticity of your videos.

[@dubers89]

I have watched THP videos the past few years and it is time to share how much I enjoy your videos. You show how to HUNT deer, not how to use money to grow and harvest deer. You show how the average person can be successful without loads of property and high-dollar gear. Your videography and comradeship is also top-notch in an industry that so often misses the mark, in my opinion.

[@dr.stevenwadeau.d.3382]

I love how the hunt ends with Warb sounding like Boomhauer from King of the Hill just won a Nascar race “yeah you guys get in that draw over there, blow your wind towards that guy’s house with that east in it, they’re gonna come jump that fence and you’re gonna decoy one in to Herman”

[@jjmckay6man1]

Loved that hunt! Great Buck Aaron! The Hunting Public Rocks! Crazy They get an 8 point on the way to help find your buck!

[@victorkaren2393]

Great video!!! Best deer hunting channel on KZbin. Keep the quality videos coming!!!

[@rickyrice4704]

Hey man, it's really awesome how u feel for the deer. How u where worried about it suffering. I really respect that. I'm a bow Hunter but I would be lieing if I said I don't feel a little bad for the deer after I kill it. I love everything about hunting, except the fact that the animal has to suffer

[@brianshively9628]

Super video! So much real raw emotion. Feel bad for Greg, since that truck got wiped out. You guys for sure have the best deer hunting videos out there.

[@curtisj.pacejr.579]

Wow, another great hunt. THP has got to be the best. Congrat Aaron on an awesome buck. Myandi, thought she was going to get ran over with all that chasing around her.

Great job guys this is what real hunting is about every aspect love it ..... Aron great set up man it works

Between Zach's NY buck and this one, that's two hunts in a row where the buck runs right toward the camera after the hit. Sweet videography, guys.

[@paulshumate2904]

Wow, what a Hunt , you guys are on fire this year! Laying down some incredible footage and Congratulations Aaron on a gorgeous buck!! As always Keep HAMMERING

[@alexanderroberts8360]

I just shot my first deer from the ground yesterday while on Alabama public land. It was also my first public land deer equipped and inspired by yours and Catman's channel. I spooked it walking in but with a good wind I was able to close the distance. Had the quartering to shot as well and got a hair back but mine exited through the back ham. He only went 85 yds and piled up. I got one lung and liver, but the femoral artery is what I think put him down so quick. It was a walking blood trail through the swamp. Thank you for putting out such great content!

[@Mid-MoDisabledhunter]

Mindy needs a tag!! She was covered up!! Grats A-Aron!! Once again. Another 30 min video seems like 5. Awesome decoy footage ted! All in all, y’all basically livin the dream! And your all’s content blows everyone on the “tube” outta the water!! Awesome episode! Keep em comin 🤘🦌

What an awesome hunt guys! Great work. Love this channel and I really like learning from yall. Hope to see all you guys down here in Alabama soon!
