Always cracks me up when the dogs get a little treat out the exit hole.

[@jamiemabe8293]

Congratulations Grant!!! Very nice Buck!!

[@ala5831]

Nice one Dr Grant. Congratulations on Big Sal.

[@timkirby3340]

Thanks for this and every video you put out, Grant. You’ve become the ONLY person I listen to about deer and I’ve learned a ton from you. Thanks and congrats!

[@SandwichKing-lj4ej]

Awesome to follow your changes to the proving ground throughout the year on the channel and see the results in the fall. Inspiring

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations Dr. Woods, great to see the rewards for all the hard work y'all put in on the Proving Grounds 2.

[@rfb7117]

WOW...a REALLY GREAT BUCK, the wait was certainly worth it. Congrats Grant. I want to also compliment you on the excellent quality of the footage. I had a tracking dog a few years ago and she was phenomenal. She would get on a wounded deer and stay on that track even if it was crossed by fresher deer tracks, she was a dachshund. You are truly blessed, Bob

[@TomSutts1969]

That was some awesome footage!!! Congratulations Grant! 🏹🦌

[@jimstaub2308]

[@robbielopez9432]

Great hunt, great harvest! It’s wonderful to watch the fruit of y’all’s hard work through the year! Congratulations! God bless y’all!

[@ricks7432]

Poor Big Sal......can't even pee on your back legs anymore without Grant taking you out.

[@joshsinglefooter]

[@francescoetzi3223]

Quello si deve solo vergognare per aver ammazzato un povero animale

[@mattalderton3723]

Big Sal is a beautiful buck Grant congratulations

[@jasongarland4255]

I love hunting in the big mountains and the mountains here in Kentucky where I live and hunt are good places for hunting and to find a big buck and congratulations on big sal

[@chinncannon]

Man, that buck was fantastic, but your dedication to educating all of us and capturing the moments that are so hard to get really sets your channel apart! I'd call you the 'deer whisperer' but I think that belittles your dedication to the hard work and research you have put into your craft. Keep it coming and we'll keep watching😄

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Thanks!

[@kevintalbot7618]

Echo: *Nom* Grant: "This has just been a thrilling hunt. Feels good to have Big Sal down." Echo: *Nom* Guys: *Pulling the deer out of the bush* Echo: *Nom*

[@rydaddy2867]

The 1 time I hired a bloodhound, the FIRST thing the handler said, "When we find the deer, don't get between the dog and the deer...he will rip on it and will rip on YOU if you are in the way. I'll make sure he stays on the back half so the cape isn't damaged. His immediate reward is trying to tear into it."

[@edwardclark5211]

Dream Big brother 🙏

[@joeyhubbard9754]

Echo was going to town on Big Sal lol congratulations Grant!

[@robertfrancisco1193]

👍 nice buck!👍 i had a deer tracker years ago a German shep. with a nose like a blood hound could find anything !

[@keithswilley4678]

great deer and great hunt.

[@Justin-z5i]

Used Andrew and Echo this year for the first time this and I’ll recommend them to anyone!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

I would do the same!

[@TylerMaddox-x1r]

Awesome buck! Congratulations. Can’t wait for this season coming up. A couple buddies and myself are headed to Missouri to hunt public land this coming season. What did big Sal end up scoring?

[@wolley2012]

Great video

[@TheWildDoc]

Needs to teach Echo to drags deer too and that be the full package! Lol😂

[@sojc7144]

CONGRATS

[@steventhomas524]

Great buck! Congrats! If I may ask, what is the camo pattern you're wearing in the video? Thanks.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

THLETE.com!

[@scottcarrolltco6821]

Just curious why you didn’t take the quartering away shot just prior to the shot you took? I know the camera angle and the hunters angle can be completely different where you as the hunter couldn’t see that.. Maybe the doe was still an issue in seeing you draw? Love your videos and the wealth of knowledge you share.. Congratulations on ol Sal

[@GrowingDeerTV]

It was a bit further and I thought he'd come closer.

[@johnlallemand8554]

4 point western

[@jimkindle3563]

💪👍👊

[@ML-ks2lj]

Im curious did you ever get big sal tested for any disease? Im wondering why hed lose thst much weight and then gain it back.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

We collected samples for CWD testing. He didn't have CWD because no deer recovers from that disease. I suspect he had EHD and recovered. There was a lot of EHD in my neighborhood this summer.

[@ML-ks2lj]

@@GrowingDeerTV i see well glad he was healthy.

[@WoodlandGangsta-fm7xy]

Great hunt, advice and dog recovery. What I can't understand is why y'all let the dog bite on the deer like that. Seems it would be the dog owner's responsibility to pull him off.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

That's part of the dog's reward.

[@Scofari]

I don't understand why they did the reveal video while Echo was chewing on it. Let him claim his reward and then video. Felt like it was degrading to the buck's life.

[@scott6052]

How far did he go from where you shot him?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

250 yards

[@skeller77]

Congratulations on a great buck! My only question is why wouldn’t you wait for a better shot angle? The deer was obviously not spooked and had no idea you were there. Taking a shot knowing you’re only gonna get one lung is just a bad decision. One lung and liver hit deer can live for hours and die a slow death, we as hunters need to do better, glad it worked out for you though.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Skeller - the doe he was following was about to cross our scent line. We should have shown that better.

[@Countryboylife228]

What’s out of range?????????!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

over 30 yards with a bow

[@clintjohnson7023]

Did you find in time that the meat was still good.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Yes sir! The venison is in my freezer!

[@bootyhuntersxc]

Why do you think he lost the weight? Abscess tooth?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

I suspect he had EHD last summer and recovered.
