DEER DRIVING Public Land (3 Bucks Down) Deer Running Everywhere!

[@billwhite7099]

Every dang episode is good. THP shows most all aspects of hunting besides sitting a shooting house with a feeder, manicured, green fields and bucks with names and history. Best hunting show on YT

Enjoyed this episode guy’s and having chili at Ted Millers house was icing on the cake. Congrats to everyone on harvesting some nice bucks! Nick is definitely a plus to THP, gotta keep him on as a regular crew member!

[@samhiss6807]

Thanks for sharing all your adventures. Btw, a guy taught me to never rest the barrel on the shooting stix/rest, only put the forestock on the rest. Guess it can affect shot? And on a drive, when the deer is running, WHISTLE LOUD to stopem...it'll blow you away, they hit their brakes!

[@dustynnprosser6259]

They free float the barrel for that reason. The barrel actually whips when shot. Could effect it a little.

[@joehobbs490]

Should not test the barrel on objects. Probably doesn't matter at that range but can change point of impact

[@betterthanyesterday3912]

You should not shoot deer

[@joebethune5330]

@@betterthanyesterday3912 apparently he can't

[@dustinsitzes777]

It affects the barrel harmonics and can drastically change your point of impact. Barrels from the factory that aren’t free floated will make contact with the stock at an accuracy node.

[@breakfree4177]

I know heat of the moment things can happen but I’ve seen a few times now on THP resting on the gun barrels. Resting on the forend is a much better practice. There’s a reason why decent guns have floating barrels.

[@daveyboy8907]

Yep the harmonics of the barrel ..It matters on far shots for sure..

[@clay9711]

Nick’s one liners are such gold.

[@phillachowicz4286]

I love when the videos almost an hour long!

[@jeffboutilier5075]

Sargent Dan with the m16 had more of your buddies in front of his muzzle than he did deer! Wow. Other than that it was a great video.

[@MrJasinski101]

I was gonna say the same thing, I saw a couple times he swung his barrel past the guys or they were walking behind him, hes gotta know where his barrel is facing and be safer

[@tedf7843]

I always tell people pretend there is a laser coming out of the barrel. Otherwise I'm going to carry it for you and decide if and when you get it back when we are hunting together.

Having the barrel resting on the rest is a NO NO ! At that distance it shouldn’t matter but at a distance will throw you WAY OFF target. Always rest the forearm in the rest !

[@danielbowen2523]

I immediately thought the same thing.

[@Huntoutdoors1]

That and them knowing how to use and operate their equipment makes a huge difference .You can tell that they have little experience with those guns if any .Just saying it is obvious as hell along with the rest issue .

[@mohunter68]

Yep, proper barrels are made to "free float" unless they are modified "bedded" for competitive shooting.

[@antiquebowieknifechannel4611]

Exactly....made me cringe

[@Nutzycop]

That first shot was a total buck fever deal, dude trying to short stroke that bolt and resulted in a total fail.

[@benwright67]

That mis fire can happen if the bolt isn't all the way down. I did the same thing on a bobcat with Hornady ammo. Even left a strike on bullet. I blamed ammo for awhile before I realized it was doing that.

[@bjmgolf3651]

Ted Miller is a classic - “ That’s all” ? After the top guy drops 3 bucks on the 1 trip ! Well done fellas as always the footage does not disappoint. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! God bless !

[@shawnhulke7385]

I use to know a Ted miller from around Monmouth Iowa is it the same one. I think he hunted mostly with a bow.

[@mygunsweetness]

Practice running shots. Weedeater, 2 pullies, 2 Tposts, attach weedeater to one Tpot, attach one pullie to weedeater, 20yds drive other Tpost, attach pullie on Tpost. Use rope to go around pullies, tape balloon or balloons on rope. Start weedeater set your speed and learn your leads from different distances and speed. It's a blast and a great learning tool.

[@jaypop7385]

Nick definitely has to become a full member of the THP his attitude and positivity is so infectious and awesome to watch!!!

[@jacobflook8932]

So the first miss I believe was due to having the barrel rested on the y stick the barrels are free floated for a reason when you put pressure on them it throws off the zero of the gun. Just my 2 cents love all you guys videos

[@kylekane4706]

Best deer hunting video of the year--any channel--well done!!!!

[@STRThermal]

The way the core THP guys get so excited when someone else gets a deer makes me smile.

[@BiPolar_BeaR.]

Jake and his fam are good people..👍💯💯💯

[@justinmailloux549]

That was likely a light primer strike due to the bolt handle not being all the way down. It happens to my Ruger American, and I always constantly check that the bolt handle is down.

[@jeffsarna6345]

Agree 100 percent. Learned it the hard way last year on a buck just like he did. Took me a minute to figure why it misfired but I finally figured it out. Just like you said I’m constantly checking that bolt handle

[@cw2gsp]

Yes this^^^ happened to me this year.

[@buckhundred]

That’s why I sold my Ruger American. The bolt comes open even on safety.

[@timbunch8972]

Yup happened to me too.

[@justinmailloux549]

Steve Rinella would use a bungee cord to keep his bolt handle down. But all things considered, my Ruger American Predator is a flat out shooter. There’s not better rifle for that kind of money. The accuracy is unbelievable.

Phil was struggling. Great video.

Imagine if he had wounded both? He must have dropped his site picture through the scope in order to work the bolt. Immediately gets brown in the site picture and pulls the trigger...

[@DO-III]

The stock should be resting on the shooting sticks, not the barrel. Resting it on the barrel or placing your finger on top of the barrel effects the harmonics of the barrel and will throw off you bullets at a distance.

[@mohunter68]

Finally someone I can relate to about barrel harmonics, most people look at you like you have a spider on your forehead when you mention that topic, much less have any idea what that is. Mainly because it's a topic that only hand loaders like us understand it. Way too complicated to get into on this video. 👍

[@tannerguenther7126]

Love the videos thanks for sharing great content. Not trying to knock anything or act like I know everything because I don’t, just going off of experience. Don’t lay gun barrels directly on rests or anything, doing so can change the harmonics of the barrel and cause accuracy problems. Also the gun involved with the light primer strike looks like a savage (I could be wrong) but I have had the same issue with a 22-250 and 30-06 but due to the bolt not being completely down. I love my savages to death but I have noticed the bolts are easy to bump up and cause this issue. Like I said I love what you guys are doing just trying to help other hunters improve their craft.

When you're shooting from any rest... Do not place your barrel on the rest. Place the stock in there and don't touch the barrel. It really effects the barrel harmonics and accuracy. I was a law enforcement sniper for 20 years and have seen this tested many times.

When you use a shooting stick or any sort of "rest" toward the front of the rifle, always support it by the gun's stock, NOT the barrel. Accuracy WILL be negatively affected by resting the rifle by the barrel... especially at longer ranges.
