My favorite deer hunting vids. Real hunters who really love what they do, going after regular bucks that don't have names and four year photo histories.

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

ditto x10....no feeders or fences, no pet deer with names I've done my share of public land hunting...you gotta work to kill deer consistently literally anyone can shoot a deer over bait

[@carlosopinion5629]

Love these show, but spare me the BS. Just because some of us don’t hunt like these guys, doesn’t mean we’re less passionate about hunting. I hunt private land and work my ass off for every buck I have. Matter of fact, all of the bucks I have wasn’t even taken anywhere near the feeders. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. So get your noses out from the clouds. You’re not better than me as a hunter because “you put more work in”. I work my ass off for every deer I’ve taken and I do it all legally and ethically, with low or no fences.

[@JK-cv9jf]

@@carlosopinion5629 Unless you have a large piece of private land where your bucks live most of their life, and you have four year histories and names for all the Boone & Crockett bucks on your property, this comment wasn't aimed at you. Think we've all seen the shows and know what I'm referring to.

[@carlosopinion5629]

@@JK-cv9jf Fair enough. And yes, I know exactly what you’re referring to and I do agree on a lot of levels. But even high fence has there place. Simply put, I don’t judge other hunters on where and how they hunt. I’m sure everyone has their reasons. And it’s not my place to criticize or belittle another hunter because I don’t feel like he’s worthy. My only requirement is that you do it legally and ethically. And if you pass down our values to the younger generation, all the better. But at the end of the day, we all share the same passion for these animals and the outdoors. It just pains me when I see certain negative comments from the community. This crap happens in the gun community too. You’ll always have a group of folks that think they’re better than everyone else. Just sayin’....

[@JK-cv9jf]

@@carlosopinion5629 We hunt 600 acres, have many cameras and food plots. I still get shut out on decent bucks some years even though I'm a fanatical hunter. But the few times I've ventured into heavily hunted public land, I've had a hard time even finding deer, much less finding a nice buck. Any one who hunts ethically is OK in my book, but a hunter who can consistently find shooter bucks on public land is a step above my level. Kind of like a weekend golfer can admire Dustin Johnson's game while still enjoying regular golf.

I at least had a friend and videos help me with learning what to do. Took a while before I took my first deer. Was 2 doe's. The next I took my 1st buck. 11 points dressed out at 170. We learn about things every time we go hunting.👍

[@jimverbaere6097]

Oh, 1more thing, I have squirrel, rabbit, from an early age. Didn't start Deer or Turkey til I was 31. 1reason, the population of Deer and Turkey was always very low for a long time til F&WL started a repopulation program. Took 5yrs before they allowed hunting. Now they're everywhere.👍🙂

Zach and Ted are cool dudes! I’ve learned so much from just watching you guys hunt. Thank you so much for honest, helpful content. You guys are very intentional with showing every part of the hunt. Not just the kill shots and advertisements. I didn’t have a mentor growing up to show me the ropes, and I’ve started so late now that it’s had to try and catch up, but with content creators like you guys, I feel like I have a fighting chance. I’m Very passionate about hunting and it’s nice to see the passion and care you guys produce. Thanks again!

[@truthstands4ever]

I'm in the same boat, didn't have a mentor and made tons of rookie mistakes early on. I've shot several deer, only while "still hunting" like Zach does. Haven't gotten one from a tree stand yet, but plenty of people do. These KZbin videos that show the process are super helpful, and I learn so much every time I watch one.

Congratulations to Joe and Zach on their PA bucks. I like these Public Land Challenge collabs where we get to see and learn different styles and see them be successful. I thought that guy was pheasant or grouse hunting, but here he was jumping puddle ducks. Way to adapt and overcome that situation. I hunt from the ground since we don't own much property and I like being down there with them, I want a tree saddle eventually for certain situations. But mostly from the ground. I am glad that deer was recovered, very rare to see one get shot full frontal. Thanks for sharing.

The hunting in PA has gotten so much better over the past 4 years or so. The amount of big bucks I have gotten on camera over those years has greatly improved. I've gone from getting 8 points as my big bucks on camera to it not being uncommon to get big 12s on camera. Last year I got about 3 or 4 10s and 2 or 3 12s.

@@tycewisnewski3365 No not at all! I had made that comment before I watched the rest of the video. Zach’s shot honestly was not bad and even so, that’s a part of bowhunting

Awesome hunt! Love how effective y’all are with the ground game! That’s exciting stuff. I shoot a longbow and practice almost daily at random distances from 30 yds down to 3 yards. Zach’s hunt demonstrates exactly why!

THP is so real. The very best group of folks out there. Thank you all for what you do.

This deer Zach killed reminds me of the last deer I killed with a bow several years ago. I got one lung and the liver. I found him in a skidder rut, still alive but unable to get up. He just looked at me. I backed up and sat for over an hour while he died because I had nothing to finish him with. Eventually, he let out a bellow like I have never heard and thrashed around for about 10 seconds. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I just didn’t want to bow hunt anymore. In fact, I just stopped deer hunting for several years. I still hunted turkeys, but I just didn’t care for that feeling I got from that incident. It eventually passed a few years ago.

Rifle hunt is the best way to hunt deer, the biggest buck I ever shot was with a bow and I never did find it so I quit bow hunting, every one I shot with a rifle has always died on spot.

Zach, are those your girlfriend's gloves? They look a little small. They are cute though.

Congrats on a nice PA buck. Ive hunted Pa for 20 years now and that is a real nice PA buck. We do have bigger bucks and since the restrictions were put in place, we do see better bucks but not every piece or farm will have big bucks on them. They are around tho. And speaking of the pressure on public land. Hunter numbers are way down in PA. You really dont see almost any hunters until the early muzzleloader season comes in, thats when most of the pressure comes in PA. I can remember 10 to 15 years ago counting 100's of cars on public land roads. Its not even close to that anymore. If you guys come back to Pa again, i would suggest coming before that early muzzleloader comes in or after it ends. I usually dont see anyone until then. Goodluck the rest of the deer tour!

I wish I had hunting buddies like you guys!! That’s something to cherish, good friends don’t come around to often! Much respect from a Michigan hunter!!

[@byronbrush9030]

that was amazing! that's one of yalls biggest accomplishments...but ur camera freakin sucks in low light!

[@maryaldridge5618]

Sad the buck took so long to die off. I understand that bitter feeling when you make a bad shot and you know that your deer is suffering. I wish it were easier to sneak up to them and get a better shot so they didn't have to suffer so long. But shots like that happen even to the best of us. Congrats on a successful hunt!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

I would have went to follow up if it was legal but its not legal to shoot them again after legal shooting hours. Had it been daylight I would have done everything I could do to follow up and get another shot to end it faster.
