Drastic Times Call for Drastic Measures!

I"m big on playing the wind AND being as scent-free as possible. Unfortunately, on the road, they can both be a challenge. I don't always pick the stands I hunt, and I can't do laundry when my clothes get "stinky." Here, I took the scent free shower and I do my best to make up for a lack of clean clothes, and it pays off big time. King of the Forest 2023! With the Killer Instinct SWAT X1 no less!
This channel is about my love of the crossbow, hunting, and the outdoors. I hunt exclusively with the crossbow. I love it and I aim to help you love it, too!

Bunjie (The O.B.) is a 2010 Excalibur Axiom Crossbow. After more than a decade of killing deer, hogs, squirrels, woodchucks, and even a bear, Bunjie is now semi-retired. Enter Bunjie III (or Bunjie '21, Bunjie 3.0, The Slick Black Cadillac of Crossbows) a 2021 Scorpyd Deathstalker 420, the result of trying various models and looking at dozens of them online for characteristics I liked. It is, in fact, a gift from a Friend of Bunjie, which goes to show how important Friends of Bunjie are to this channel and what an impact they can have. Bunjie III is a testament to modern crossbows, producing over .7 slugs of momentum and almost 140 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with stock arrows--at nearly 400 fps!
Bunjie, Jr., is my daughter Genevieve's crossbow, an Excalibur Micro Suppressor 355. This crossbow was also a much appreciated gift from a Friend of Bunjie, and it changed Death by Bunjie forever by inspiring Genevieve to become a part of our story as a second-generation crossbow hunter, and it also convinced me there is a benefit to a newer, faster crossbow (see our 2020 Maryland Doe Hunt).
Again, I am not sponsored by these companies. I am sponsored by Friends of Bunjie! (I'm not asking for gifts whatsoever--please don't feel like you should send me stuff! But I do appreciate the support I've received over the years! I'm just trying to express my appreciation for that.)
This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The albums "Live Free or Kill" and "Zombies Gotta Eat, Too!" are available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. A third album is in the works.
All Hail Bunjie!

Maybe in the future you could hit up a laundry mat in the middle of the day and to a quick sent free wash on the clothes. Sometimes motels have little laundry mats . Any way it work out fir ya !!! Congrats. That's a real nice buck !!

[@Deathbybunjie]

That is definitely part of the future plans 100% I'm going to take the laundry stuff with us. In the past I've always had lots and lots of different clean outfits. This year we've switched over to those scent lock outfits and if they go bad there's no backup unfortunately. I really think they work at I really like them, but like anything else you have to be realistic.

[@anotheryoutuber_]

ive had good luck with doing an ozone wash when water is at a premium, im not a fan of running it while hunting but back at camp, it works crazy good.

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

@@Deathbybunjiefor early season a few outfits to rotate aren’t a bad idea as well as changing into other clothes to track and drag. Early season is definitely the most challenging time of the year to be scent free

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Perfect name for your new bow: Bungie X

[@jonenglish6617]

Rich, that exit wound was gnarly. Good work

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

That is an extremely nice buck, awesomeness!!!! Congrats, Bunjie would be proud🍻 Maryland has been good to yall, nice!

[@joshcromley7354]

The excitement you and your daughter bring to these videos is refreshing and very entertaining. It reminds me that this hunting stuff is supposed to be fun. You two are a great example of how our time in the outdoors should be spent. Congratulations on the beautiful buck.Thank you for the great videos and keep up the great work!

[@andyssolutions5341]

Nice classic Intro, like "The walking Death by Bunjie"

[@littleposerfish]

Good for you! Awesome story, Awesome Buck! Thanks for sharing! I would also like to see a test of mechanical broadheads opening prematurely with 400+ fps crossbows. Maybe put a poster board in front of a target. 100gr, to 150gr broadheads. Be a good show.

[@ASimao71]

[@Deathbybunjie]

Lol good one

[@willwilliam217]

Very nice buck Rich and Genevieve, on public land thru four full days my friend has seen nothing, I have seen two but out of range in the thick woods. Four days into the hunt last year we were both blessed by two each, so still meat in the freezer. Maybe better luck next Tuesday? The color change in the woods was beautiful anyways.

[@randalwells1917]

Beautiful deer congradulations sir

[@Artisanwoodworks73]

What a great shot Rich!

[@cavebear3379]

the last 2 minutes of this video made it worth watching the rest of the video hearing the excitment of you guys was awesome.

[@jimowens381]

Congrats on a very nice buck! That's 1 for the X1

[@inthewoods3237]

Awesome Shot! Great 1st kill by Bunjie HT (high tech)

[@user-pf3zg5oy8h]

Nice deer congratulations

[@robertstockton2036]

Congrats Rich, well done. You give us all hope! Love your video's and hunting with Genevieve is priceless. Love that you have your own taxidermist hunting with you.

[@boomerrangerron]

WOW! Congratulations Rich on making this incredible shot with the newest Bungie! And this means another project for Genevieve, but I'm sure he'll look good on the trophy room wall! That combination of the Burris scope and the Slick Black Cadillac made a perfect combination! And I must have a Richard Wilson DA badge for my collection!

[@constantinsabin3193]

We all are getting old and want to be more confortable and spend less energy. Less effort, less adrenaline less unexpected aspects And the result is using a hight speed ultimate technology to hunt...like that compound crossbow which replaced the good old excalibur

[@Minnesotalife]

Congratulations on the successful hunt! Nice buck

[@bluediamondareafishing3563]

Man when you hit that buck, Rich, my Gahhh! I jumped up n hooted n Hollared like da packers makin a touch down! Great shot bro!!!!

Congratulations Rich on very successful hunting trip with your daughter lots of memories

[@juliusjames5577]

Well done!

[@justincarlock8182]

Awesome deer!!!! Way to go Rich! Keep shooting straight and best of luck on your campaign for district attorney. Your videos are second to none! They are better than the big name videos. Ever since I have stumbled across them I have been an instant fan! The family aspect of your videos is so enjoyable. Maryland has been great for you. Let me know if you ever want to head to Illinois. We have a farm in the golden triangle. You and Genevieve are welcome. Amazing once again and thank you on behalf of all your subscribers on the hard work you put into hunting and your videos. Good bless you and your family!

[@butleroutdoors2188]

Great buck, congrats!

[@dennishill2030]

Congrats big guy!! Nice buck!!

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

congrats man nice buck!!

[@mwallace6540]

What a nice buck and an awesome shot! You know not everyone is lucky enough to have a taxidermist clean their buck. Way to go Genevieve. You n your Dad make a great team.

[@Deathbybunjie]

Thank you very much, totally agree I'm a pretty lucky guy!

[@billm4560]

Congratulations…Good shot Rich!

[@cyocaller]

Love the intro , kind of like ones from years past , I think I have seen all your videos . Good job !

[@gordonm.3729]

That was fun hunt. Congrats on a full freezer and the stud 8 point.

[@ShooterMcNut]

Awesome buck, Rich. Good luck with the election.

[@joepiddington1896]

Keep the old introduction it rocks!

[@chickimac1]

Congrats, that’s a nice buck!

[@susanliggett3982]

Congrats Rich, great buck, great shot, great Swhacker result, I have noticed deer can load up to move just before the bolt exits, my lighted knock had broke off (bulb still on the bolt, plastic nock part was in the shoulder) that and major bone contact (badly bent blade(s) when I likely did not hit a rock) probably explains why my bolt is occasionally not found in the approximate direction it should be. ~W.Liggett

[@Deathbybunjie]

Yeah mine was pointing sideways also where I found it from what I would have expected, frankly I don't care if the whole thing went through there sideways as long as I find the deer haha

[@stevehess65]

your best shot footage by far!!! Congrats!!!!

[@charlesleblanc2631]

Congrats. Great video and hunt.

[@jackiestewart2018]

Great video great buck.

[@jeffhays1968]

Wow, what a shot that was!

[@MrFastJ]

Buddy and I developed recovery kits, one of the main features of which is a change of clothes. No sweating in the good scent free hunting clothes

[@Deathbybunjie]

That is 100% part of our future plans too!

[@sct1464]

Enjoy the videos. I am using a crossbow this year that was given to me by a buddy and decided to use the shwacker 3” blades based on your videos. That thing did a number on the doe I shot this year. Thanks for the videos and Congrats on the buck!

[@BattleBendOutdoors]

Great buck congrats 🎉🎉🎉

[@ReloaderJoe]

Bruh!! And with that awesome new Swat X1, too!!! I can't wait to see this. I bought your audio book yesterday and I just want to stay in the car listening too it. It's a must for fans of Bunjie!!!

[@Deathbybunjie]

That's great! Good luck!

[@user-ws9mt2ed5e]

I'm glad that I too bought a Killer Instinct Swat X1 crossbow. I'm going to start using the Swacker broadheads for the crossbow at 125gr. I see the proof that it works. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤❤❤

[@Deathbybunjie]

Good luck!

[@Riley_Welch]

Awesome!!

[@BackyardBroadheads]

That shot was impressive

[@robertspringer4019]

Great buck

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Nice buck!!

[@davidcaldwell7757]

Looking forward to your storytelling Rich.

[@lownr]

Great job Rich…! Nice way to break in that X1..!

[@Deathbybunjie]

Thank you, I know, right? I'm a pretty lucky guy!

[@chrisruzsa2798]

Nice video buck congrats congrats.

[@johnowens9012]

great hunt Rich and nice restraint on Genevieve’s part by not taking another deer. one thing that i’ve used as a cover scent is Nose Jammer. It doesn’t totally fool a deer’s nose for long, but when the deer are in range, one doesn’t need that much time.

[@user-yp8zr3hq6k]

Congrats!

[@jamestormeyjr5443]

Congrats

[@ratorgersen7938]

thanks for all of the tips....THE RIXTER

[@MorrowSind]

Nice one! Congrats!

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

That Sir is a great deer anywhere in the country, well done Rich. Always worth waiting when you hear more deer coming.

That was a nice trip...

Nice shot rich. Smoked em'.

[@kelleymandolins6519]

Congratulations Rich! That buck is a hoss!👍👍

[@brandonyoung7760]

Looked like a heart ❤️ shot. Nice!

[@brandonyoung7760]

Sorry. You confirmed. I paused the video and commented... 10 seconds later you said it was a perfect heart shot 😂 very nice buck

[@Deathbybunjie]

Thanks!!

[@joewatkins7346]

New subscriber to your channel. I’ve been hunting for a good while now and there’s just something about your content that brings the fun back into Hunting. Congrats on a great buck and fun hunt! 🎉

[@Deathbybunjie]

If it's not fun it's not worth doing LOL great to hear and good luck

[@SirSloop1919]

deer in front of you absolutely puts new deer at ease, but you still have to pass their initial sniff test on their walk past you. Once they pass you they generally relax, unless you run into the smart ones that like to blow.

[@SirSloop1919]

great shot btw… oracle x ftw

[@SirSloop1919]

ps that broadhead blade all bent over is why ya gotta make the switch to fixed blades. If you lose a buck like that cause a blade bent before it did its job, it’ll be truly a heartbreaker. I almost lost one last december to a mechanical failure, and I’ll never shoot a mechanical again.

[@Deathbybunjie]

It bent on the way out lol no problems. I love these blades 100%

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Awesome job, that’s a beauty. I’ve know you’re not interested in trophy bucks, but I’ve been hoping I’d see a video of you taking one.

[@brianpoor763]

love you guys

[@B_r_u_c_e]

Another great video. Thank you. How about a video demonstrating the field dressing, skinning, quartering?

[@Deathbybunjie]

I did want a few years back, that's a real tough one to make because I'm usually in such a rush and because my hands are dirty haha

[@HiTechRob]

WoW! Congrats on the buck and amazing time you had with your daughter! Memories for a lifetime.

[@user-tu1nd6zv9z]

Congratulations you deserve that nice buck

[@Deathbybunjie]

Thank you very much
