Buck Down on Public Land Rut Hunt

[@brianlooney3032]

CONGRATS ! Your the most down to earth outdoorsman on You Tube. Nothing staged or fake. I really wish you had time to produce more content.

[@DIYSportsman]

Thank you.

[@martymiller6565]

I agree completely

[@pensnut08]

I've watched your channel for years now and I am SO GLAD you haven't gone all "Hollywood" like so many others have.15 minute intros, music that is louder than a metal concert, etc Straight ahead videos and good info. Congrats on that buck!! Very nice!! Damn he got into the NASTY stuff!!! Oh man... 4:50 I would have zipped an arrow through him so fast and would have been calling the taxidermy man so fast LOL

[@ronkruchten5867]

Me too; that crazy "unicorn" buck would have made an extraordinary Euro mount. Thanks for the excellent content from beginning to end, and congrats on a fine buck. Cool recovery, too!

[@captaincripple7218]

Same! I have a few freak show bucks. I get just as excited for them as I do the big ones!

[@garyritterstrings]

Yeah and no Chicks covered n Ink.

@@ronkruchten5867 You people are sick in the head

[@johnhendrix4034]

First time watcher/subscriber. I agree with the last two comments about down to earth outdoorsman and not gone "Hollywood"! I will continue to watch.

[@chrispileski6640]

I've been bow hunting for 35 years and I've never heard a doe bleat like that and I've never seen a messed up rack like that. Cool video.

[@SuperSlappy25]

I thought the small buck was bleating???

[@suzyCook-f4p]

Why are you people so cruel

[@miller2478]

Great video! That little buck with the messed up rack was pretty neat. Congrats on the great shot and great buck, always enjoy your videos.

[@slaphappychappy]

That little guy has a jacked up rack! And hearing the bleats was super cool. Great vid. Nice buck!

[@bjmgolf3651]

That looked like an adventure getting to the buck and I couldn’t imagine packing him out! Well done on harvesting a solid buck!

[@rossthebearwatcher1012]

Garrett you are the best guy to watch. Congrats from a fellow Minnesotan. Beautiful Buck.

[@markhenderson6198]

Like many comments prior to mine I just want to say I love your style, calm yet excited in your hunt and harvest. No raised voice and yelling I smoked him! That is a dandy buck! Really like your video.

[@Claybird85]

Great video per usual! There are many reasons why I enjoy watching your videos but a few of my favorite things about your videos are how you show a lot of deer behavior, you explain your setups and show maps, and that you seem to hunt the big woods from time to time. As a northern MN big woods public land hunter I understand the difficulty of bagging a nice buck, let alone seeing animals. It’s great to see videos in these habitats! Great camera work and great shot too! Well done!

[@DIYSportsman]

Thanks!

[@MrNamasa]

Watching this was like replaying my own season back. What a grind, but with a happy ending. Congratulations on making it happen against the odds!

[@willyvanilly]

The buck @4:52 identifies as a triceratops. Thanks for capturing this, congrats!

[@557ronb9]

still grinding it out in Southern Ontario. rain and snow November 18 beginning to snow but ground is still warm and snow not staying. Heading back out tomorrow, lots of good sign , lots of scraps and newer rubs but all the deer went on vacation. Hope some snow stays tonight. Good job

[@m4nap4rt20]

Love the CT Roll N Lock. I use one too. Love the vids. Looking forward to seeing your 2023 rut footage, buck or not!

[@stanleybuck4195]

I really enjoy watching your videos. They're so realistic and well done. You're a very good hunter.

[@gregmiskinis4373]

Congrats! Always enjoy your videos! To film and shoot a nice buck is not easy, I’ve tried

[@garyknepper4546]

Congratulations on that buck. I’m happy to watch you pass on a nice buck due to a minute or 2 past legal shooting light. Many would have taken the shot. You area true sportsman.

[@nate_stanton]

Hearing the bleats was really cool! Haven't heard that much on videos

[@easttexan2933]

great buck in anyone's woods. Congrats man !! Nice shot. Perfect placement. Well done.

[@dannysharpe9966]

Enjoyed your video! Congratulations sir! Very nice camera work, felt like I was there along side of you. Keep up the good work with the videos.

[@raymondcovey6461]

The grind make it more rewarding! Great public land buck ! They don't come easy for sure good job!

[@Scott-Witter]

This was exciting and you had a great rut corridor that's for sure. It was an unusual weather season, even here in NY. Congratulations, your persistence paid off.. That early buck with the bent antlers was wild.

[@Neanderthal54]

Well done! Way to get it done in the big woods! Anyone who has bow hunted bucks in big woods public lands knows first hand how truly difficult that is to get done on a consistent basis.

[@rc3082]

Superb detail and videography work in addition to your successful harvest. Congratulations on the results.

[@davidfleer5307]

Congratulations on a good buck, excellent video and clarity. Sam could you bring a chain saw to get this deer out of here 👍✌🏻🇺🇸

[@MetalneckOutdoors]

Congratulations Garrett. Very enjoyable video. Some people don’t realize how hard it is to hunt, film and manage to get it all on video.

[@pathfinder5804]

Great video!!! That tree you were in at the 10 min mark looked a little scary. Looked dead as a door nail. Again great video!!!

[@basay1388]

I've never heard a real doe bleat before. Really interesting and helpful!

[@suzyCook-f4p]

Bleat, try crying . What is wrong with you heartless people

[@jamesrthe2]

Great buck! Young & funky needs to take a ride to town, too.

[@blitzcrusher299]

I always enjoy your adventures!

[@NuManXplore]

Awesome buck and great shot. So cool to self-film a successful hunt. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@seansoutdoors]

Congrats brother, great job!

[@ryansmith8440]

Always giving it 100%. Ty for sharing all your experiences!

[@JayN4GO]

Great stand location. So many people here hunt fields during the rut. I like to get into the thick like you did here.

[@johnky100]

Yupp, upper midwest this year was a total grind. Congrats on the buck.

[@timbow50]

Another great video. And a good hit on a good solid buck. You earned him sitting out in that wind/ tornado! Congratulations.

[@geoffjenkins4633]

Great episode! Great filming and footage, great buck. Kudos.

[@lumberman1954]

Great video, great music, I get excited when I see one of your videos come online

[@kidneystones3406]

You have the best video quality that I seen for self filmed hunts excellent.

[@h-minus2212]

Congratulations on a fine buck. It's great to see content from you.

[@quicksilverBBC]

Good stuff! Its been a tough year in Nebraska too!

[@charlesleblanc6638]

The terrain and cover you were hunting looks more like what we see here in NB Canada which I can relate to, compared to the park look you often see in hunting videos ! Never herd so much bleating from a deer ? You had great action on those parallel trails and got a great Buck.

[@jackmasters9953]

Congratulations!!!! Great buck and solid footage 😃. Thanks for not showing the kill shot 14 times!!! Looking forward to more content. Keep up the great work 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

[@tomadams3593]

great deer! do you have a video of how have your tether line looped?

[@undertheradar9295]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@adamhowel3683]

Congrats...I ground it out in early season...got my 2 last week... lost count of how many sits...again congrats

[@kevinflaherty7592]

Love the hunt and the way it was filmed.i also give you credit for using a tree saddle.i have one but couldn't get used to it.keep the videos coming.

[@MexicanMovie]

I took vacation early leading up to Halloween, and with the hot weather in Illinois I saw zero bucks and a million hunters, stands and trail cams. Still getting out on weekends when i can, but I'm glad you at least got a nice one ! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sam !!!!

[@DIYSportsman]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too

[@andychanhnguyen]

Congrats Garrett! Great footage. The grind paid off.

[@cagedkennels]

Huge congrats! Loved the footage of the shot man that was perfect

[@EarlyRound]

Wow! I would definitely be back in the coming years to find that unusual buck as it grows.

[@h2osoe]

The video quality is phenomenal!! Keep growing. Been here since the beginning ‼️

[@thedangler1371]

Your filming talent and equipment is the best seen for the group doing mobile hunting on public land. Just watched this video again on my big screen. Amazing! Loved the deformed buck! So cool! Amazing work u do! Keep it up! Love learning from you

[@adamdrouin2295]

Congratulations on a beautiful buck! It has been a tough year for sure even for us in the northeast. The warm weather hasn't made it easy

[@sambalsamo]

That little spike would of been tempting for me haha really cool how messed up he was The one with the 2 drop tines I guess you could call them 😂

[@ryanowen1338]

In Michigan I was hunting in spring clothes first week of November, I was lucky to punch a tag on a good buck the first cold front of October because I never ran into another mature buck through the rut

[@vitalgroundoutdoors]

Great video!! Excellent work and commentary! Loads of action!!

[@englehartd13]

That was an awesome shot. Nice job.

[@wish2fish37]

Great video of the Doe Bleat.Never heard it in many years of hunting but now I know why a can call will work.Can sounds like doe did.

[@DIYSportsman]

It was actually a fawn making those beats. The doe was a few hundred yards up ahead of it. I think it might have been a button buck that the doe was leaving to be on its own.

[@MrTracker15]

Great job! Hard season but your persistence paid off. Terrific shot!

[@jjoddo4530]

Congrats on all your hard work... Love hearing that crash noise.

[@shareTNT]

Awesome job man! The footage of that shot, crazy rack buck and all was top notch! Congratulations!!!

[@critterg8493]

Great show

[@bradcrook7122]

Pretty cool hunt, way to grind!! Great shot on a great buck. Congratulations!!! 😊👊🏼

[@ericbrooks8573]

great buck...super footage and quality.....Wi or MN?

[@DIYSportsman]

WI

[@neilzuege7698]

Great hunt in the northwoods! Tough hunting and success is very hard earned.

[@paulcrave3112]

Congratulations Garrett. It must have been a real grind just getting him out of that swamp. Good thing you had good blood. He was well hidden between those downed limbs.

[@bentpolski]

Great Action packed Video and Congratulations on a Fine Buck. That "Unicorn" weird racked Buck was CRAZY!.It appears the Pine tree you're in is Dead No?

[@DIYSportsman]

It wasn't really clear, the branches seemed to all still be solid but the bark was flaky. To be on the safe side I'll probably see if I can find a different tree to climb if I hunt that pinch again.

[@matthewhwang5938]

Awesome video! My #1 hunter on KZbin. Cheers

[@DIYSportsman]

Thank you!

[@klundin2000]

Garrett, That was a fantastic video start to finish. I know that hauling around and setting up all the cameras is a pain in the butt, but that my friend made a lot of peoples day. Great shot and blood trail. Were you using that wide iron will broadhead this year???

[@DIYSportsman]

Appreciate it. I have some of the IW wides in my quiver though I shot this deer with a Sevr 2.0

[@underdogoutdoors]

Great video brother! Nice shot, grinding it out baby!

[@jerryscray1789]

Been waiting for you for a long time

Nice work Garrett! You said that drag was awful on the podcast. I can see why.

[@cdp50359]

Awesome hunt, congrats

[@MrJdc30]

Great shot man!

[@feralgrandad4429]

Top job mate. He really got in the weeds didn't he? Garratt, please could you share your arrow build for this year? The "Arrow Nerd" in me had to ask 😁. Well done again.

[@DIYSportsman]

I was shooting a Rip XV with ironwill impact collar and a HIT/carbon tube insert with 125gr head. Super Sabre vanes, gold tip nock collar and nockturnals. Total weight was about 420gr, 15% foc. This particular hunt I was using a sevr 2.0 on the front.

[@aaronmelvin461]

Enjoy your videos. What time is legal shooting time at dawn and dusk? In La, MS, AL, TX, & even Kansas, it’s a half hour before/after sunrise/sunset, not long before dark. Congratulations!

[@DIYSportsman]

This state is 30min before sunrise and 20min after sunset, but most of the other states I hunt go to 30min after sunset like yours. Practically it varies so much because early season under a tree canopy it gets dark before last light, but late season with snow and moonlight you can make out deer well after shooting light.

[@dennispalmer8622]

Nice buck! Way to honor the legal time slot. Heard shooting at 12:30 am a few weeks back. "Really"? some people makes their own rules. Hope you didn't have to drag too far. That is a jungle and then some. Congratulations!!!!

[@fishingwithphil2582]

Great buck and a great shot

[@joshuadoane3371]

Are you still running the ez v sight? Curious if you still liked it or not?

[@DIYSportsman]

I'm currently using a black gold mountain lite. This spring or summer I'd like to do a full video comparing the pros and cons of pins, ezv, and the Garmin for whitetail scenarios. For the type of hunting in this video, all three would do fine and it would come down to personal preference.

[@DavidGonzalez-ek3zh]

Nice work! Great to see your tenacity at work!!! Congrats. What bibs were u wearing? Thanks

[@DIYSportsman]

Thanks, they were a prototype cold weather bib from Thlete.

[@DavidGonzalez-ek3zh]

@@DIYSportsman cool. I remember u talking about thlete bout 1 yr ago. Love your content!

[@DIYSportsman]

@@DavidGonzalez-ek3zh thanks!

[@phounthao3897]

Excellent shot, congrats!

[@Canelkather]

At 3:30 was that an estrous bleet or just regular bleet? Pretty frequent vocalizations. Never heard one make so much noise.

[@DIYSportsman]

I think it was a fawn crying out after being left by the doe due to the rut.

[@rgorski1215]

Great video! call that one buck "comb over"

[@jackcampbell2307]

Nice shot good hunt the dude is Brave set up in a dead tree with a saddle

[@walter992]

Great video. Love hunting in that kind of terrain. What gloves were you using? I have been hunting for over 40 years and still have not found the perfect glove.

[@DIYSportsman]

I was using the cabelas lightweight windstopper gloves that I cut the pointer finger and thumb shorter on my release hand. And then would typically have hand warmers in the muff

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Nice buck!! Great hunt and awesome footage!!

[@TheBuckPsych]

Hey Garrett. You think those does knew something wasnt right. They were super spooky

[@DIYSportsman]

Yes the lead doe absolutely smelled my access trail. I was fortunate she didn't start blowing.

[@TheBuckPsych]

@@DIYSportsman it looked like she was spooked for something. Diddnt know if it was scent or maybe the buck was really on her
