Been following Catman since 2015 or 2016. Very much one of the most underrated channels on KZbin. The dude is a straight killer and great woodsmen. Congrats !!

[@humblehunteroutdoors]

Totally agree. He is very cool to follow!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Yep I agree as well. As real as it gets. And yes...a straight Killa!!

[@timaugustine9294]

Explanation after the shot and dissection were top notch Catman. Thoroughly enjoy all your content.

[@RTeBokkel]

"Subscriber Count is heading north by about 1k a week, Jim. We are anticipating Catman to reach 100k by the end of this deer season, barring any viral videos taking over. Back to you Larry." "I can not rightly tell, but I do believe that Catman does not pay much heed to subscriber counts. What I do know is that he just wants to hunt."

[@JimRyser]

And Jim agrees with that! 😂😂😂

[@ChasinStuds]

He should been well past 250k a couple yrs ago he is legit as it gets

[@humblehunteroutdoors]

He’s the one that inspired me to start content creating. Him and THP

[@JimRyser]

@@humblehunteroutdoorsya the little music he does use makes me grateful he uses mine!!! He inspires a lot of us!!!

[@perrymerkes7693]

​@@JimRyserJim let's see your buck....Bill Winke mentioned you got a tank. Congrats

[@camdenmaloy8751]

The realest hunting channel out there, can’t wait for more Catman!!

[@dankoefoed917]

Great hunt man. Love your authentic approach. Way to hang in there. That was a long time at full draw.

[@shawnkane7152]

Have to say one of my favorite sayings from you is “this is the tree for me”! Great hunt CatMan! Enjoy the way that you show and explain the follow up on the dissected body.

[@JimRyser]

Tshirt needed!

[@shawnkane7152]

Sure would sell I think! Great idea!

[@huntfishandgrow4140]

I’d buy one!

[@stanhunt8543]

Best hunting channel out there.

[@ryanharkins9383]

And he is very knowledgeable. I can tell he takes notes. At the end of the video he said we are about two weeks out from peak breeding season. I would never remember to take notes on stuff like this with out watching catman. It helps to note the weather, moon phases, rut activity, and food crops like acorn productivity. This way after several years you will have info to come back to and put all together and figure out when the rut in each area you are hunting is going to come in.

[@shawnkane7152]

Knew that you were bound to be rewarded for all that you donate and what you do for the ones in need! Great Buck!🦌

[@waderogers6269]

Beautiful buck been watching you for two years you a heck of a deer hunter though I subscribed before but now I am this 70 year old grandpa use to do them hunts can't take the cold anymore with that blood thinner in me I love your shows good job from down on the bayou of South Louisiana tks man catch you on the next one may God bless you and family.

[@hiddenmortimer5189]

I’m 47 and when I grow up, I want to be like Catman. Good stuff. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@janetschafer7053]

LOL!!

[@308blr2]

Fell asleep watching this when you first posted; because I had just returned from a week in the woods. Finally got enough sleep to watch you take this nice buck. Congratulations! So far I’ve gotten three donated through Hunters For The Hungry. A shout out to all the processors who make it possible for local food pantries to get venison to families needing protein! And to CATMAN for inspiring hunters to take to the woods and to be generous with their harvests.

[@williamgaines9784]

That buck's thought bubble, "I know I heard those punks grunting and wrestling right by this tree, but I don't see hide nor hair of them."

[@dallaspittman6086]

First video I've watched and I have to say that it's good to see such an elaborate job from someone that's not completely supported by big outfits and sponsors. Great job explaining and taking everything in stride man. The good and the bad. It's what makes us human. 💯

[@larryeckart1410]

Thank you for you taking us along on your hunting CM. I like your genuine, teaching-oriented style. A blessed hunt!

[@donvincent895]

My gosh you must be in great shape you held that string a long time. You by far have a best eye for self filming, never boring congratulations on a nice Buck!!!

[@TheLikkinBranch]

Congrats, brother. It was only a matter of time. Love your dedication and tenacity. 🤠🇺🇸🍗

[@TO-7025]

Why it's super important to practice holding full draw for an extended period of time. Think that was 1:40 at full draw.. well done man 👏🏼

[@charlesleblanc6638]

When they kick after the shot it's usually a good sign ... Beautiful Buck.

[@DiversifyYourself]

And still the best hunting channel on U tube!

[@huntfishandgrow4140]

Swhacker never let me down, but I love the massive entry holes the g5 dead meat gives

[@burkejones8277]

I am glad you went back and covered the shot placement. That was great. Congratulations on a fine buck.

[@stephenaldinger8350]

Thank you for being the last guy on KZbin that doesn’t insist you need a 1,000gr arrow and single bevel broadheads to kill a deer!😂 Good video

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

That grunt and rattle sequence i loved. Exactly how i do it. I see sooo many people grunting like a T-Rex or a daggum grizzly bear!! Now their are bucks that sound like that but not in my Florida woods

[@chuckparson6712]

Thanks for taking the time to show the actual damage the broadhead did, and I'm with you a firm believer in Swacker mechanical broadhead. 👍👍

[@frankpierce6649]

I've been waiting to see the video since I saw the instagram post. Congratulations. It is remarkable you do can shoot a buck like this AND self film. Keep it up.

[@williamwilliams7706]

This is the best hunting channel on the toob.

[@stevebostic9812]

“First-timer, maybe second..great dialogue, explanations of set-up’s. I’m a trad dude, but enjoy your video and humble/real presentation. Thanks.

[@jerrysutton2730]

Congratulations cat man on a mature whitetail buck

[@sethmatherne7012]

The analysis was spot on. I don't think I will ever use a mechanical, but I understand the reasoning especially after seeing how devastating that can be on a pass through. Just got turned on to this channel and I already love it. Happy hunting.

[@Dad_N_Eli]

Cat man that is the best video I’ve seen on a great buck. I know it was a quick one but love that you showed the shot placement after the hunt while you were working up the deer. Great buck keep on keeping on!

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

Congratulations Catman on the awesome buck.

[@jeremyclutter8476]

I don't care what anyone says I love swhacker broadheads. Catman your videos are always great keep it up bud.

[@ajruck8766]

Thanks for the video I like how you don’t over celebrate when you get a good deer

[@benwright67]

I'm glad how you are honest about not taking the best shot angle, but glad it worked out. Those are the kinds of things that help other hunters learn. Nice job catman!

[@donwaldroopoutdoors3665]

We all do it if we hunt much , it's supposed to be exciting and that makes us take shots sometimes we regret , but u found him it worked , congrats catman

[@BIGGSIPP01]

I see I'm not alone in my dedication to Bear bows. Good hunt!

[@RF-cz4ln]

Awesome video and explanation , you’re an honest hunter .👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏿

[@scottwood1143]

Well done Catman! Appreciate the ‘dissection’ talk-through - informative!

[@Erick-ie8ll]

Such a great hunter. I can’t remember the last time I saw him shoot a deer past 15 yards lol. They’re always up close.

[@TroupOutdoors]

you shared your arrow/ bow specs at the perfect time. I shoot the same draw weight/ length but last Wednesday shot a doe with only 7 inches of penetration. I was shooting 400 spine with 100g head and just a standard insert. I'm not super knowledgeable on arrow tuning, but you have me an idea on where to start! Congrats on the deer, and keep up the awesome content!

[@CMMC-zb1gw]

Good buck! Thanks for showing us everything no matter what happens. Times like that is when good equipment really pay’s itself forward.

[@garyburgess3829]

Nice buck..it's for sure the swacker did its job. Now give us some more exciting videos.🎉🎉

[@juddevans8043]

You held that bow back forever aint know way I could have done that congrats!!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimmieguy1729]

Hey buddy congratulations thats a fine buck but what I loved most about your hunt is when you gave thanks to the Lord for you finding it. God Bless and keep up the good work.

[@PullStartStables]

How you could remain so calm after that buck got shot, is beyond me! Awesome video!

[@EA.71]

Nice buck and cool breakdown of the shot/broadhead performance. He ran toward the truck, it doesn't get any better 😅

[@chevyemert5655]

I was thinking right before you shot that I'd probably take that shot myself. Great content as always.

[@Wildirishmanbiker]

Dude props to you from Arizona, nice stick on that buck. You held that a long time bro, well done

[@JimRyser]

Cannot WAIT to watch this one! U shoulda wore ur crocs!!! 😂 Edit - such a great hunt! Those Beech are awesome cover.

[@jeffreystieve8017]

Excellent video. Remember that deer only have one chest cavity, so that if you puncture in one place, both lungs will go down. Hitting the heart and either one or two lungs causes more devastating blood loss. However, no deer can go too far with a hole anywhere in the chest cavity! Once last comment. The formula for energy for shooting an arrow is Energy = 1/2 the mass of the arrow TIMES the velocity squared. Mass, or weight, has less to do with the energy than the velocity, since that term is squared. Needless to say, the faster arrow also shoots flatter.

[@CatmanOutdoors]

Deer actually have a membrane separating the left and right lungs called a pleura. A single lung shot deer can run a lot farther and is more likely to survive than a double lung shot deer.

[@bohunter1949]

Great hunt glad you nailed that fine buck, you’re a good woodsman. I enjoy watching your videos. Always an ethical hunter. Thanks for sharing.

[@Blazzinace]

Best channel on the market! Good job catman

[@kmcdonald3766]

Love your way of hunting

[@choochooman336]

You have to have the best urban public land ever. You could show us the car count on the highway if you wanted!

[@Jefestephens]

Boy is putting a dent in the population around there for sure!! 😂

[@jamessimmons3108]

I had a feeling that was a good shot Great job as always Catman

[@jasontedesco3154]

Even at most modern bows being 90% or better let-off, that’s a long ass draw to hold.

[@michaelcreech9265]

So glad i found your channel years ago man. I'd like to meet you one day. Great content, I've learned alot.

[@jimmymccracken9702]

I counted 1min and 40 seconds he held that bow, great look at a great hunter.

[@hotwork115k4]

CONGRATS ON A NICE BUCK

[@tommythuntdeer]

Nice buck! You did what 80% of bowhunters would have done. You shot at your best first opportunity. Congrats! Thanks for the entertaining video!

[@ronwilson3414]

Great video. Like how you showed the shot on the shoulder. Keep whacking and stacking

[@user-jk7cp7lj8e]

Nice buck on public. I love your straightforward honest approach to bowhunting. Thanks for the work you put into making great videos. From west TN

[@iammuskyhunter]

Congrats Catman on a great buck!

[@ericgunter45]

Must be chilly Catman didnt have on his signature crocs.😂

[@Lanny-io9bi]

That was awesome congrats on the buck! The time you were at full and staying steady was impressive I've never had to hold my draw that long yet and impressive with your steadiness

[@johnbelusko6347]

Damn bro thats a hell of a nice buck. Big congrats. He had one if the prettiest hides ive ever seen on a deer. That one would be well worth tannin.

[@J3BR00]

That is a nice looking buck. Very cool video, and I can't wait for the next one. Keep the content coming, and it looks like 100k subs is in the very near future. It will be a well deserved accomplishment.🎉

[@labtrainer09]

This is a really fine video, Jonathan, in every respect. As you noted, this was a truly beautiful buck; congratulations. I really appreciated the "dissection" of your shoulder shot and your detailed discussion of broadhead design and performance. Interesting, useful information, as always. Thanks, Chris (in Maine)

[@HuntSoloPublic]

Great hunt. I appreciate the breakdown of the shot placement at the end. cool to see what impact the broadhead had.

[@roymcdavid1015]

Heck yeah. Nice buck Catman.

[@carolinapaylaker3688]

Catman and seek one 2 of my top hunting channels I watch love the content catman keep it up brotha love watching you hunt for the thrill congrats on the beautiful buck.

[@sirwilliam7988]

Congrats on the deer. But, what impressed me the most was, you spent more time on explaining things than you did taking silly pictures of yourself. I’ve shot Thunder Head 125’s for years. They’ve never let me down. I gave up on mechanicals on the first deer that ran off and my arrow fell out. Let’s just say, I was InRaged. Never again. Impressive video. Thanks again.

[@leroyshiver1685]

Congrats Catman thats a nice buck.

[@evanseal3426]

Full draw for a minute and a half is crazy . Great video man! I started using swacker and haven't turned back. Very good success with them.

[@rickyrichardson1445]

Congratulations Jonathan! Great buck!

[@jimsciacca530]

[@interrogator9437]

[@gradyfuller4880]

Great video and love the breakdown of the shot and your arrow setup. Very informative. Keep up the great work.

[@ha_t_ha]

Love seeing the shot placement/penetration outcome/talk

[@bobbyholmes3985]

That all I use is swacker!! You will find your deer and have a good trail to follow.

[@WindyCityWarden]

Well done, Catman.

[@Deltonagardens]

really enjoyed the evaluation of the hit. keep that up!

[@cousineddie1627]

Congrats! He made you hold pose for a while.

[@stevenwalker9013]

At that distance I’m ok with that shot as long as you have around 500 plus grain arrow setup.

[@jeffm.1656]

Thanks for the nice post-hunt review.

[@ryanharkins9383]

She's a brute Clark! Good deal Catman. Next time you are at saddle polusa hit men up and I will take you trout fishing. I live on the other end of that exit on the coast.

[@richardcummings4374]

Thank you for the autopsy That helps us all! Great buck Catman congratulations!

[@shaneboler4814]

Congrats Catman! Fine buck! Great shot.,
