Day 18: STUCK on the Ground, Killer Footage

Day 18: STUCK on the Ground, Killer Footage
After encountering two big bucks the night before, I make a move to hopefully get within bow range. The only problem: the deer are already making their way toward me. I get stuck having to hunt from the ground, but it results in a super intense hunt and some killer eye-level footage.

Awesome footage. Your ability to weave a captivating story thru the lens without constant explanation is one of the attributes that sets you apart. Keep it up Jared!

[@PAKraig]

Nice to see the Archerytalk presence here 👍🏼

[@jaredmills]

That's some of the best feedback I can get, I appreciate it. My goal is to always try and replicate the real experience, and I think the quality footage and being able to see all the little details is a big part of doing that. Thank you for watching and for the comments!

[@chrisjay1986]

Amazing footage as always! That snow falling as that 8 was walking in was like a dream!

[@williamshaver5524]

Always heart pumping when a mature deer is making an appearance. That was a fun night for sure. I've always wondered how a deer feeding can snap its head up look to distant area and ta-da out pops another animal without making a sound. Amazing creatures worth all the respect we can give while hunting. Thats what i enjoy about your channel.. respect for the entire process. Thanks so much.

[@jaredmills]

It's truly amazing. And they're so good at it, that I often rely on them to tell me when I need to be watching for another deer. This is key when I'm alone self-filming. I'm often so focused on getting footage that I risk missing something that I'm not watching for. So I usually pick a mature doe or something out of the herd to watch and let me know when something is going on. Thanks for watching!

[@dougharvey562]

amazing as alway

[@Crayz919]

Craymazing footage

[@kevinfowler6065]

Golly gosh that’s some great footage.

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Kevin

[@realrussclarke]

It struck me as I watched how much your style albeit video versus stills your framing and style reminds me so much of the late great Charles Alsheimer. We are blessed to have you on KZbin Jared

[@jaredmills]

Appreciate that Russ, he produced some incredible stuff and I always enjoyed learning from him. He was a legend for sure. Thank you for the support as always!

[@mr.Mikeyboy]

Always amazing! The buck at the end of the video was really nice aswell!

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Eric!

[@Raised-Right]

Man, those up close and personal hunts like that are so fun. Awesome footage. You've inspired me to start packing a camera for my own documentation to watch back.

[@jaredmills]

That's awesome. You won't regret it for sure. Thanks!

[@MollyDogg1234]

Thanks Mitchell!

[@aarongoeppner413]

Crystal clear footage!

[@ReubenOaks84]

Amazing footage, Jared especially that close on the ground eye level.

[@timjohn2810]

Absolutely magical, what a memory to revisit in your mind over and over and over. Thank You for sharing.

[@jaredmills]

No doubt! Thanks!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Beautiful! Fascinating setting. Part of hunting is finding deer and seeing them. The hunter may not always harvest. This level of experience isn't often accomplished if ever. Enjoy. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@jrnyfan88]

Amazing footage! Love your videos 👍

[@jaredmills]

Appreciate you watching!

[@trevorlamble3645]

Nothing gets the heart pumping like hunting from the ground. Footage is even more amazing eye level aswell

[@jaredmills]

No doubt, thanks for watching!

[@jackmasters9953]

Awesome Jared!!!! I was really hoping the stick and string connected!!! Keep at it!! Thanks for sharing 😃🦌🦌🦌🦌

[@stevebernheisel3781]

You have had an unbelievable season, thanks for taking us along and sharing the great videos. Really refreshing that you are staying so positive. Thanks again.😊

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Steve! Appreciate you following along!

[@shawnfollmer4491]

Jared, your viedo quality, filming and editing are top notch. With your video's I've noticed over the years, you bring to your audience the mood of the deer. How they react or don't react. Top notch Jared. Sub for life. Thank you!

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Shawn, glad you see that that. My goal is to always make it as close to the experience as I get being there in real time. And I think the footage quality plays a big part in those little details of deer behavior you're talking about. Thanks for the support!

[@alankieffer7631]

Awesome footage some really nice deer in there

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Alan

[@jacobneill5711]

Awesome footage I tagged out of my biggest buck to date this year in Ohio. Came out to Missouri been hunting here for 5 days cold as hell been seeing plenty of does but not to many bucks. One last sit tonight and season over. I’d love to have a sit like you have word your in a killer spot

[@jaredmills]

Congrats man and hopefully you finished strong in MO!

[@roblayman6630]

Are ya waiting for one with wings on it ? Send it man !

[@garrett1188]

awesome footage

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Garrett

[@htown1475]

You are getting some amazing footage.

[@htown1475]

That footage was better than any kill shot. And it's footage that most people don't get to see.

[@PAKraig]

Looks cold 🥶

[@jaredmills]

It was a little chilly ha. But when you're watching deer from the moment you get there until the end, it takes your mind of the temp!

[@greenmandan]

Awesome footage and great action from the deer lol much luck with the recurve if ya haven't hung it up yet,,thanks,,each video teaches us more and more

[@jaredmills]

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

[@JayN4GO]

Have you ever thought about making your own calendars with these photos

[@jaredmills]

I should. One of the landowners I work with, he and I actually put one together each year of the best trail cam photos that we get, but I haven't done it yet with my footage. Thanks as always.

[@unclemoe5733]

Once they Shed, will you do a shed hunt vedio?

[@jaredmills]

Yeah I'll plan on doing on for sure. Just found my first two of the year yesterday so it's almost that time!

[@headwatersfarm175]

How did you get out with all those deer in the field?

[@jaredmills]

Most of the time I either wait until it's really dark or I will do some coyote howls with my mouth to clear the field and get out.

[@timmytim6427]

Im glad u left MW man your hunts are way more exciting and real than theirs i can hardly watch them anymore hopping around from hut to hut its just the same ole same ole shit. I guess i should say Mike's blog mostly i like Owen and Kaleb

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Timmy, I appreciate you following. I haven't had much time to watch any other hunts this year but I know Owen and Kaleb produce some good stories and they're good dudes. Thanks again for watching

[@antiquebowieknifechannel4611]

Footage is killer! What's the reason for not moving to 4K?

[@jaredmills]

I may do that at some point. I never really considered it because I think most people are still watching on 1080p devices, but if enough people think it would improve the viewing experience, I may do it. It only slightly affects my post production and not being able to scale up the footage as much as I have in the past. Thanks for watching!

[@antiquebowieknifechannel4611]

@@jaredmills Prob true...but im sitting in front of a 32" 4k monitor typing this! LOL

[@deerhuntingdadstv9278]

Maybe they just feel comfortable yarding with each other during the winter. They don't seem to have much testosterone running through them like those two younger bucks... just a thought.

[@davidhammer154]

It's really hard to focus on what your saying with those two bucks on the wall in the background.

[@jaredmills]

Haha. Maybe I'll blur em out next time!
