Bunjie's CROSSBOW Buck from a Ground Blind!

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Had to come back and watch it again. I’m so happy the 100+ year old apple 🍎 tree was saved by some strategically placed fertilizer. 👍

[@Deathbybunjie]

Saved or injured by it, still not sure, it's struggling this year again, Calvin. But it might be a cycle it's going through or it could just be the end of it. Nothing gold can stay, enjoy it while it lasts is what I say! 🙂

[@CalvinsCorner72]

@@Deathbybunjie yes sir Rich. I understand. Enjoy it

[@WildAboutBeingOutdoors]

Congratulations Rich ! (" Y ") fix something thats not broken ?? It been working for you. Question how dead do you want it ?? Kinetic energy is what kills not Speed !! My crossbow only go's 310. I kill every year with it. For the last 10 years. Back when you purchased it, it was fast enough 🤔.... Awesomely done Rich. 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing !!

[@Deathbybunjie]

Good points for sure, we'll see!

[@teamcrooks6913]

@@Deathbybunjie C'mon, Rich! Ya gotta love it. "How dead do you want it?" That's a chapter in your next book!!

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Rich, I have used a Excalibur Exocet( same as bungie) Gold tip Lazer 2 with Wasp SST Hammers . Since 2004 ( medical permit to use crossbow before legal the next year) 16 years never have I ever not had a pass through . Get ride of those mechanicals use fixed blade. One year using a 657 grain 20" Gold Tip Kenetic complete pass through shoulder bone . There is nothing wrong with your bow it's how your setup. Congratulations on a great Buck. God bless

[@Deathbybunjie]

All true but I'm not interested in going back to fixed. 😉

[@LizardKing513]

I have an Excalibur Grizzly. Shoots 305 ft/sec. I use standard Muzzy 100 gr fixed blade. Never had an issue with pass-throughs. The 150 gr Excal bolt cutters are very good too and are recommended. Use them too. I totally understand Rich wanting to try something different. I can see Bunjie making guest appearances from time to time.

[@jasonborek3944]

I have never not gotten a pass through with my Grizzle. I just stay away from that front shoulder. Great video.

[@glorybound6983]

With all the COVID crap and the civil unrest, I left KZbin. I'm back and you site looks great and is greatly improved. Congratulations to you and your daughter. I too have a great season with two of the best bucks I've ever harvested with my crossbow and a good supply of venison in the freezer for the bad times that are coming in 2021.

[@SP-gz5jx]

Finally, a very good hunting video without a lot of irrelevant yapping. Well done!

[@Johnsplots]

Deer sure love that new growth. Mock scrapes are on my list for next fall for sure!

[@Deathbybunjie]

Tons of fun, glad to hear from you, fyi loving the hog hunts

[@Johnsplots]

Thanks a bunch! Beautiful buck BTW. Guess I should have waited until the end of the video to comment. Lol.

[@Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

Your videos are so simple yet it draws my curiosity and the harvest are nice and the commentary is thought provoking

[@Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

Well here I am it's deer season again and I'm watching one of your videos and it says one year ago I made this comment above

[@matthewlyness8161]

Can't wait to see it. I shot a beautiful 9 pointer that scored 121 and 5/8 in with an inside spread of 21 inches 5 years ago in Pennsylvania! Your boss must be over a hundred and 15 in great buck man

[@robertstockton2036]

Thanks Richard for the great video. Love your channel. Started crossbow hunting 10 years ago as my shoulder went out. I have shot many deer with my Barnett BCX. Started with muzzy fixed broad heads, and shot several deer that went 100's of yards before recovery with lung shots. Switched to RAGE Crossbow X, 2-Blade Archery Arrow Broadheads and the last 2 deer went less than 50 yds. I am sold on Rage....easy recovery for a 70 year old hunter. Just purchased a Wicked Ridge M-370 that is a joy to hold and shoot. Good luck in your next hunt!

[@renneroutdoorsunedited4458]

Awesome job and awesome video!!!! I’d love to see you meet up with The Hunting Public and do a collaborative series!!!!! Who else agrees?????

[@gramps5157]

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Nice Buck! Bunjie doesn't look like he's ready to retire any time soon.

[@JoeSaidso]

Nice buck Rich. Congrats! Enjoy the channel. You and Genevieve have had a year to remember.

[@HeadtoTailBBQCooking]

Great hunt! Bunjie is still the King of the forest slayer! 🦌

[@shayneclary1612]

Your videos are awesome, im a new hunter and grew up without a father. I dont know much about deer calls but ive been baiting some deer on my private property in ohio, hopefully ill get something in the morning. THANKS for your amazing videos!

[@daniellegrandpa]

That one is going to be hard to beat.

[@twooldguyswithcrossbows5170]

Congratulations nice! I have to admit I was a bit concerned at where the shot went and not a pass threw but he went down in good order!

[@fisheyeguy]

If you want a full pass through, switch to fixed blade broadheads. I shoot NAP thunderhead 100’s out of my 130lb pull crossbow, and have yet to not have a complete pass through on the three bucks I’ve taken with it. Give it a thought.

[@Deathbybunjie]

I used fixed blades back in the day, not really interested in going back.

[@fisheyeguy]

@@Deathbybunjie hey, we’ve all got our preferences. I’m the exact opposite. I’ve shot mechanicals before out of my compound, and had issues. I swore mechanical broad heads off years ago. To me, that mechanical part is just one more part to fail. Just my opinion anyway. I really hope you dial in a broad head that checks all your criteria boxes.

[@fisheyeguy]

What an awesome video and experience. Just a great job all the way around.

[@MetalneckOutdoors]

Had to go back and watch this one again. Very good footage Rich and a great video. Good thing about filming hunts is getting to go back and relive the moment anytime you want to. I also keep a photo book with details of all my harvest. Congratulations again my friend.

[@chrismayer7762]

Awesome shot

[@larryperez4789]

Awesome shot ,great 👍 video happy for you great buck

Great buck Rich! Always glad to see when the hard work and dedication to hunting pays off in a big way.

[@donoway9628]

Lol bungie controls me ! Love it. Rock on brother

[@Dr.DankensteinM.D.]

I’m a new sub but I just purchased a Barnett whitetail hunter pro after hunting a couple years with an old heavy Barnett jackal crossbow and I can say I don’t regret my purchase. Light quiet and powerful. Found them on sale a rural king marked down 200$ off retail so I got one and I love it

[@staceyyates5121]

One of the best videos I have seen!! Congrats!!

[@martymccollum6367]

Would you place your crossbow in a glass case if you upgraded, would be cool to see bungie in your trophy room

[@BossPrepping]

Would be a lot cooler if you did all right all right

[@johnjensen5483]

I really enjoy your videos there very honest and truthful life experiences in x bow hunting that are very entertaining.

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

Great deer. You turned me onto the rage hypodermic with the shock collars and they are amazing. My deer this year looked like he painted a red line through the woods and went less than 60yds. I didn't get a pass though either but it was insane. You aren't losing deer so keep it up with old bungie

[@crowbranch]

Sounds like the Rage Hypodermic works well for you. I used a Rage Extreme Crossbow head with a properly installed orange shock collar last year. Had an opportunity to take a gobbler I had a tag for during archery deer season. Made a good shot but the blades didn't deploy even after going into the ground. It's not just me, many hunters had a similar experience with Rage heads. The crossbow that I used is rated for 370 fps. Disappointed I tested another Rage Extreme head at home by jamming it through a cardboard box. The Rage went though and didn't deploy. All other expandables I tested throughout the years opened in the cardboard. After much research I settled on SEVR heads for a replacement. I couldn't be happier with accuracy and performance after extensive testing and practicing with the actual heads I'm hunting with. I didn't get a chance at a buck (yet) but my friend borrowed my backup crossbow rated at 305 FPS (same Axiom crossbow as Bunjie). He used the cheaper 1.7" SEVR version on a nice buck and it died within sight. That was a couple weeks ago and he has since ordered SEVR Titanium 1.5 and 2.0 versions to replace his Rage heads for his new crossbow that just arrived. I highly recommend checking them out. Lusk Archery tested Rage Trypan and SEVR head to head in a KZbin video if you would like to see a comparison.

Ooh that's a nice buck! Congrats to you and Bunjie👍🏻 😁!

[@Deathbybunjie]

Hope so, good luck 👍

[@donschaeffer1804]

Great buck great video. I had thought a shoulder shot was not good but obviously am wrong. Maybe that’s the difference between a crossbow and a compound. I’ve always tried for a bit lower and further back for the pass through. I’d like to see your optimum location

[@Deathbybunjie]

With that older slower crossbow and a Rage broadhead, that's a tough one to get a passthrough without resorting to heavier arrows and fixed blades. With the new crossbow, that's a much better shot (it'd pass through most times I do believe). In fact, that will be my new "optimal" aiming location. I shot a doe tonight, avoided the shoulder with the newer crossbow when I shoulda aimed a little tighter to it--maybe not at the roasts up front if you know what I mean, but closer to them. Old habits die hard. But we found her!

[@bradnat05]

I’ve been binge-watching all your videos! I’m in west KY. Researching crossbows. I just had hernia surgery on Friday - so I’ll have a couple of weeks to watch all your videos, and maybe decide on a crossbow!

[@Deathbybunjie]

[@briansupermag3918]

Well I just feel crossbows are like potato chips. Cant just have 1. I just got my 3rd. Remember its always good to have a backup. These bows hold a lot of power in those limbs and stuff happens. Then you will have to figure recurve again or compound. Compactness isn't related to our Excalibur bows. I have a Matrix Mega 405 n love it but its still big. I did just get the 10pt RS470 and OMG i love it. Its super compact and lighter than my mega 405. So many possibilities n wish you good luck on whatever your choice is. Oh congrats on a fine buck. Have a happy safe Holiday season

[@Deathbybunjie]

True! Big decisions ahead!

[@mikeedwards2384]

That's a really good one congratulations finally getting cold weather next week hopefully I can shoot something other than the block lol

[@Deathbybunjie]

Lol good luck!

[@rongarofalo3482]

Nice buck Rich. Many new crossbows won't be as reliable as Bunjie, but having extra power to push a heavy arrow and still have speed is the way to go.

[@Deathbybunjie]

Reliable is a big consideration I hear that
