CHECKMATE, Lee's Hunt For Sporky // Lee and Tiffany Lakosky

CHECKMATE, Lee's Hunt For Sporky // Lee and Tiffany Lakosky
The first target buck of the 2023 season is taken down by Lee. We introduced you to Sporky back in the summer and Lee had the trap set perfectly, well ahead of the season opener. On October 7th, the last day of the red moon, the weather conditions aligned and Sporky was on his feet well before dark. All of the planning and preparation came together and Lee finds himself at full draw at just 24 yards.

This is so awesome!! I love your KZbin episodes so much! Loved listening to your podcast with Seek One, I would love to just up and move and chase my deer obsession like you did, nothing but respect for you! You have earned everything you been blessed with… your dedication and hard work is unmatched! Keep the episodes coming and a big congratulations brother, God Bless

[@LeeandTiffanyLakosky]

Thank you SO much for saying that, we can't tell you what it means to hear this! We appreciate you more than you realize and want to say thank you for the continued support and for coming to the channel! God bless you as well! -Tiff

[@rossmatherne5058]

There is nothing better than seeing another father appreciate Christ and his many blessings while instilling the word of our lord in his children... thank you for that Lee!

[@chrismcclinton65]

Awesome hunt Lee, thank you for sharing the prayer with your family! God is so good!! 🙏🏻

[@tim03b_48]

I love how Lee breaks down the small details. You can tell how intelligent he is.

[@phillipking6153]

Thank you for giving the Lord props with your family. Best part of the video in my opinion. Keep it up! Great deer!

[@shawnheflin5379]

Lee and Tiffany's journey has been nothing short of perfection. I had the chance to meet both in person at the sportsman outdoor show in Richmond VA twice. A true inspiration to the hunting industry. Thank you for years of inspirational hunting content. Thank you for y'all's journey and sharing it with the hunting industry. Good luck on years to come in foreseeable future. Can't wait to see your children to carry out the hunting legacy yourself and Tiffany have created!!!

[@robpla]

I wake up every work day morning and the first thing i do is bring up the Live Deer Cam. I find it peaceful just listening and watching the going ons through the day. Great hunt with a nice Buck!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Awesome!! Congrats Lee and behind the scenes team!!

[@gouchmcdougal7831]

Teaching your children to pray. Way to go mom and dad. Awesome. The deer wasn’t bad either. Great video Lakosky family and film crew. LUke 9:62

[@LeeandTiffanyLakosky]

Thanks for the kind words! We keep the kids involved as much as possible, and especially on recoveries, and as a family always give thanks for the animals after the hunt. Thanks for watching and being here with us!

[@tylercarder581]

Tiffany was the "Daisy Duke" of the early 2000's. 😂 My brother and I watched the hunting channel just to see her. Glad to see y'all are still getting it done!

[@chitwoodtaxidermy]

My favorite part was the ending!! God Bless Y’all! Congratulations Lee

[@philipwolf1556]

Just another reason that I have watched you guys from your beginning, always teaching, the kind of family you want to admire. Thanks for all the fun you have shared with us.

[@catchemalive]

Y’all are exactly what this hunting industry needs!!!!! Congrats Lee on a great deer and love to see your family together so much

[@LeeandTiffanyLakosky]

Wow, that is so kind of you to say! We really appreciate your support!!

[@Masonm109]

Awesome deer, congrats on ending the journey with a win. Really appreciate the prayer at the end, God is definitely needed more than ever in the world we’re living in now. Good luck the rest of the season and God bless

[@mikesweeney5134]

One of the best whitetail deer hunters around! Does all the hard work himself & the bucks he kills shows it. Congrats on an awesome buck Lee.

[@TonyShelton-kq9qb]

This buck reminds me of ol Gnarles Barkley buck from way back. Congratulations ! 🦌

[@cameronlee2781]

I have so much respect for Lee. What an incredible person.

[@mariosalinasoutdoors5386]

Congratulations Lee on an awesome deer!

[@Nolan_Swinghamer]

“Now we can go musky fishing?!” “I guess that’s another option!” Best lines in the whole episode! 👊🏻

[@JimBowSlice]

The beading on the bases is incredible. So many people needed to see this and how YOU handle a decent shot but with the doubt backing out. Many big bucks are lost due to what happe s after the shot.

[@LeeandTiffanyLakosky]

You got that right. I can’t speak for everyone, or every singe scenario, but I’ve never lost an animal because I waited too long after a marginal shot. Thanks for being here to watch this one! - Lee

[@Johnbobon]

Very cool. Almost looks like weld spatter. I love how every rack is unique. No two are ever exactly alike, sort of like snowflakes.

[@JimBowSlice]

@@LeeandTiffanyLakosky ya know it probably is the hardest thing to do and it will age you a couple years waiting over night lol I had a buck I shot on the same angle but I hit about a foot back. I knew I wasn't looking that night and my trail cams were full of yotes. But my dad kept telling me he won't be ay more dead in the morning. Turned out he wasn't dead at all but the time I gave him allowed me to get another arrow in him. 216 lb 10 point in the 130s from michigan I was tickled pink

[@heathalford4721]

Waiting is always the best thing to do. But it’s tough if you wait over night in most of October in south Mississippi it’s not cold enough for the meat to keep all you will have is antlers. December and January have some nights cold enough to wait overnight and still get the meat here but October and November not many at all

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Another awesome buck lee! Love the ending as well!! I am a native out of the northwest and our tradition is to give an offering such as tobacco when we say our prayer. I love all the ways everyone else shows respect for the animals because in the end that’s what it’s all about! Take care and may the creator bless you folks for many more seasons!

[@ShowBiz25]

Amen brother!

[@mbgraphics40]

Great to see giving thanks for the harvest of such a beautiful animal, hunters are often portrayed in a bad light, but most have great respect for the animal, nice that your children can hear that too! Congratulations

[@DisDaddey]

harvest jsut the horns. idc wut anyone says u leave aanimal all night all ur getting is horns. meat is not going to be good at all!!!

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

​@DisDaddey that's dumb. You obviously don't know what skin is for. You don't know what temp it was, how many hours, etc... in short, you know nothing.

[@RGratson]

Such a beautiful hunt! These are the dreams us old guys have. Me (legacy follower) and my 17yo son have been following you guys since your first show. Keep it up!!! We will keep dreaming. Thanks for bringing these hints to us

[@JakeHorn18]

Congratulations on an awesome deer! I love the videos and keep it up. Part of the reason I also think it was back because when the shot was taken the deers leg was back causing it to cover the whole front part of the vitals and match that with him quartering too it would be very easy to hit back. Very glad you got him though great job!

[@michaelblocher3007]

Awesome video !! I have loved watching you guys from day one! You are the most deserving and hard working couple out there!!

[@Cdfarms]

Amazing.. thanks Lakosky Family!!!

[@cameronlee2781]

Congrats Lee on closing the deal on Sporky...what a stud man! Once again the hard work, dedication, & pashion for this sport we love so much has paid off...and well deserved Brother! I love how you gathered with Tiffany & your kids & gave thanks to the Lord! You're the "real deal" never loose that...great job! Way to give him the time to expire. I'm hoping to seal the deal this weekend in Indiana!

Congrats on an awesome Buck. That's great advice "When in doubt back out" that more hunters need to follow.

It’s such a hard thing to do, but it’s almost always the RIGHT thing to do! We appreciate you coming over to watch!

Great job backing out. Awesome buck

[@kimbreitbarth457]

Wow! I loved watching this video. You certainly raise the bar for youtube hunting shows. Sporky is a unique looking buck and I really enjoyed knowing the backstory from the earlier summer episodes. It's all about game management and Lee is the penultimate caretaker.

[@robertchamberlain452]

Great start to the new season congratulations Lee. Your dedication to hard work in the field and hunting proves its all worth it. Looking forward this season to watching you,Tiffany and your guests harvest more great deer and elk.

I live in Iowa so I know how big our bucks get. But the numerous bucks you grow is unbelievable. The incredibly hard work you guys put in all year around to grow them is so much work yet very rewarding. I’m a huge fan of you guys and glad you guys call Iowa home. Even though I no longer have private property to hunt I will live through you and yours for those big Iowa giants. God bless you both and thank you for sharing your awesome experiences with us.
