Jake, you need to shake this off. It is part of the sport. We all want to make quick kills and watch them fall. It doesn't always work that way. I am so proud of THP for working as hard as you did to make this recovery. Most hunters would have written it off and moved on. You guys are respectful and ethical. You should hold your head high. You all worked hard to finish the job and see it through. This is a lesson in respect for the game we all chase. Well done my friends.

[@jonshea1101]

I can't believe that deer was still going. Looked good. They're tough. Congrats Jake. As a hunter we all want a clean kill. You fellas are really tough on yourselves. Stuff happens as long as you make a proper follow up that's all you can do sometimes. Appreciate the vids guys are awesome 👍 and Mindy too!

[@michaelbrown5237]

Amen ! I am just shocked that He was still alive

[@ericwiitala5407]

I’ve had very similar experiences with those low/back shots. It’s my least favorite shot as well

[@justinsigmon1878]

Catman outdoors the hunting public and the hunting beast are my 3 favourite. Can't wait to watch when they get pop up.

[@ep3389]

My favorite part about THP is that they take you on the blood trail with them, I always hated when hunting shows shoot something and show you a few specs of blood and then recovery. With you all I feel like I'm right there with you helping you track it. The drama is real, the highs and lows of tracking is some of my favorite aspects of hunting. Appreciate that

That's a part of hunting, we are human and we all have hunts that didn't go picture perfect. Good job on staying with it and finishing the hunt to the end.

Austin Burkes you didn’t get to peep it before it was deleted yesterday? I lost signal driving yesterday when I was 12 minutes in.

[@inthemountainswithmeachum3256]

Your style of hunting is exactly how SMART public land hunting is done. I've learned to hunt public multiple ways over the past 30 yrs, which is why I think so many people connect with the hunting public plus hunters just getting started or trying to learn how to hunt public land can can really learn a lot from watching your group work together and how you can go about breaking down pieces of land to focus on where the deer are and how they're moving through pressured public land to give people the knowledge to get out there learn and figure it out for themselves, which in the end is the most rewarding part of it all, when it all comes together 🎯

[@ChenagoOutdoors]

You guys are on a roll. Also ide like to say you are becoming the face of hunting. Your entertaining,educational, and honest. More of the shows should stop and take a minute and learn some lessons from you guys. Also is there a video on what broadheads you guys use i want to go with a heavier setup next year. Keep the videos coming.

[@jakemitchell1671]

THP guys: This may be the absolute most valuable video y'all have EVER posted. We've all heard that we learn the most from our "failures," rather than our successes. And while this definitely is NOT a "failure," the point is similar: When everything goes perfect it's fun and wonderful and everyone feels good, but...really...how much do those experiences really teach us? THIS video covered SO many important aspects of hunting that EVERY hunter will experience if he/she hunts long enough. You guys are an inspiration and I haven't seen another channel on KZbin that presents deer hunting in a more positive light. Just yesterday I watched a video where Greg somehow managed to kill a trophy while manipulating his own camera work, then this morning I saw Aaron pay homage to a big bruiser he killed near a road, and I'm ending my day with a video showing Jake reveal his soul to the world after doing ALL ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY DO in such a challenging situation. I just can't say enough about you guys (and the gals that support yall!).

[@ja1050]

i have not impressed by blood trails or results on the Single Bevel broadheads that have been used this season! Confirms why i use Rage Chisel tips! have never had bad results on less than perfect shots!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

J A we actually lost a buck shooting Rage on an almost perfect shot. Arrow deflected and did not penetrate far enough. Not to say this way is better just sharing an observation

[@dannypetersen1138]

[@dansiemen]

Y’all are absolutely living the dream.

Great job, Jake! You fellas are gonna need some more freezers!!

Congrats Jake! As soon as Iowa legalizes tracking dogs, Zach won't have to grid anymore. 😉

[@tomhale3729]

i find it hard to believe he went that far well at least he didnt spoil,,,,goin make some good gravy n onions!!!

[@918outdooradventures6]

I think 98% of the hunters who shot a deer like that would think that he was dead within 100 yards (myself included). Good lesson on being patient and taking it slow!

[@donniebutler3145]

For yall to get any feed back that you guys are just blundering around sounds ibsane to me!! Those people obviously dont hunt to kno how hard it is to kill a " mature buck" anyway. And you guys do it often. And the vids are amazing and can learn multiple things from watchin.

[@kennethwaltimyer8091]

I know you feel like you have to defend the way you hunt but you guys all have your own style. If yall hunt long enough there will be shots you wish you could take back and do over but as all true hunters know you learn from and move on. You gentlemen are some of the most honest and down to earth hunters I have the pleasure of watching. I myself have harvested 46 buck in 49 years of hunting and countless doe and i have made shots that i would like to have back. The ones i have lost are 7, 4 buck and 3 doe of those 2 buck and 2 doe survived. I track for others now and actually have a real good recovery rate. So forget the haters its not worth your time keep up the entertaining and educational videos and by the way i didnt mean to keep Mindi out sorry.

[@BDJans]

Can you guys talk about how you got that second/finishing shot off? Did the deer stop running or bed down? Just curious what the deer was acting like. Thanks in advance, you guys have one of, if not the best hunting channel on youtube.

[@roberthern3057]

Way to follow through mans get the job done y’all! I know it’s not what you wanna see, but when that buck popped up and took off during the grid, I think I got a little adrenaline rush!! Lol. As always, love the emotion y’all bring to life. Thank you for sharing!!

I would love to go hunting with this guys i think it would be fun and a learning opportunity. When i watched this guys like 2 years ago they inspired me to go bow hunting. Im still new to this i got a used bow which is a alpine teton lite 99 series

[@d65-m1x]

Nice job guys. You guys are really hard on yourselves. Hind sight is 20/20, yes, shot could have been a little more forward. I think its so engrained in our minds to shoot behind the front shoulder, we get caught up in the moment , and dont always consider the exit hole. You recovered the deer as quickly as possible. Congrats!

[@aaronbaugh7341]

Great job on showing the tracking job, breaking down the shot placement, and how to target mid-Nov. bucks! This video is full of good information, plus it was very entertaining.

[@billweihl2859]

Good job men, very well organized follow up and the explanations were spot on. Good to see the whole crew stop what they're doing and did what they had to do to help a brother out. Greg hats off to you for finding a good wife, I took mine hunting this weekend and from what I seen there's not going to be any meat carrying from her anytime soon. Myndi sorry if I spelt that wrong but you definitely are a huge asset to the THP crew and hopefully get more females involved into this sport. Congrats fellas and be safe.

[@zzz7zzz9]

if I had to leave a deer overnight, it would be just hide and bones by the morning. way too many coyotes.

[@theoldhunter6072]

Happened to me in Oklahoma this year.

[@zzz7zzz9]

It's that part that makes me take my gun out usually, rather than the bow. I would never let an arrow go at a deer if it wasn't pretty much first thing in the morning. And for sure no marginal shots. It's just not ethical to have an animal walking around wounded, or taking hours to die.

[@the32honda]

Tough hunt Jake. You got the job done. If we didn't have these types of things happen, we would never learn to make sure we do it right. Nice job man.

[@michaelpatrick6840]

[@nickbowman2537]

Wow, just like you guys, at first glance I’d thought he’d of been 100 yards from the shot! Glad you recovered him, nice buck!

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

I’ve been twitching ever since yesterday when I was watching 😳 and then 😑😂😂👍👍

[@taylorjohanson2432]

Shot looked good. Can’t believe it was still alive! Don’t want to open a can of worms but deer seem to do that more with a little fixed blade head. Love your videos!

[@randyfarley8937]

Exactly Right 💯 Truth!!! They looked like he had sharpen the edge off of them!!!

[@tso1157]

Dedication, humility, taking the best from a tough situation.... all great qualities that make this channel a success, thanks THP again for another excellent hunt!

[@randyfarley8937]

That goes to show you need a better broadhead, a deers hide is tough to cut through anyways and then you had bone to that and meat it's hard enough killing one with a gun, but we all owe it to the game we hunt to make a killing shot, it's hard to try to sharpen your broadheads like the ones you are using it's like sharping a knife if you can't get an edge on it then it want cut, it may shave your hair off your arm but go out and try to cut something else it want cut it. But I'm glad you didn't give up Congratulations!!!

[@stevebostic9812]

Jake, the pain you felt said a lot about you as a hunter. You are also so blessed to have such great support. Great video! Thanks.

[@ScottWConvid19]

Some of the most difficult tracking I've ever done was a mature buck that took my arrow into one lung and dripped in high grass.

[@jeremyball6493]

A marginal shot and poor choice in broadhead usually ends that way. I would have thought the poor blood trails y'all have been getting would change your mind about them by now. Yes they work well with good shots and so does everything else. It's those marginal shots you base your broadhead choice on. I've been bow hunting over thirty years and have shot every type of head design out there. I knew you had set yourselves up for poor blood trails and hard to find deer.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Curious what you recommend for a broadhead. We’re always trying to learn!

[@jeremyball6493]

@@TheHuntingPublic a strong fixed blade that penetrates and flies well but still has good cutting diameter Ramcat hydroshock. Regardless what you go with give yourself the advantage of a bigger wound channel. Sharp single bevel cut small slice that is easier to clot up. That's why stinger buzzcuts have the bleeder blades, it increases their effectiveness. Broadhead design has evolved for a reason. It's all about hemorrhaging and that comes from big wound channels that are harder to clot.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Jeremy Ball we’d agree there on some things. Will put out a video with all of our observations after the season. We all used to believe the same logic you present here but have since found some other data that adds more complexity to the issue.

[@jeremyball6493]

@@TheHuntingPublic I didn't present logic. I gave information that came from trial and error that's the results of a bow hunting career that's extended longer than most of your crew has been alive. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, stay humble. You are not doing anything that thousands of other people haven't already done before you. Look back at your own video documented data it'll tell you all you need to know. The concern of no blood trails has been voiced more than a few times. Don't trust data if it doesn't align with your in the field results. You have the opportunity it be a great source of field based independent data but you have to lead and not follow. I do appreciate the response it shows you are still in touch with your audience, thats what a lot have lost. I enjoy the channel and its more average Joe approach. I wish you good luck and favorable winds and look forward to future content, stay safe out there.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Jeremy Ball we actually aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel. We appreciate your opinion. Most of the stuff we’re using now is similar to what bowhunters were using back in late 80s and 90s. Heavy arrows with more weight in the front and super sharp broadheads. That’s what our mentors shot before us and taught us to use before we eventually switched to mechanical heads and had some bad experiences so we’ve gone back to it. We simply tell people our opinions on our experiences. We aren’t pretending to be some kind of experts. Just showing people honest experiences from our hunts and what we took away from them.

On 10-18-19 I shot a buck low and back in archery season.. tracked him almost 400 yards backed out went back the next day and still couldnt find him. Yesterday 11-30-19 a hunter on my property shot him in the same bedding area on opening day of rifle season and finished him off. The shot I took on him quartering to me I thought was a good shot but it missed lungs and hit low in the guts and stuck into his back leg by the knee. I hit him behind the shoulder but after actually looking at the deer and seeing what the arrow did inside I realized I should've hit him in the shoulder or even right in front of the shoulder to hit vitals. A shot in archery needs to be almost perfect but this happens to each and every one of us.
