LOL "I put the arrow exactly where I was aiming". Love it. "SMOKED" is so tired.

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

Literally every single KZbinr …..🙄 talk about a tired worn out saying. You would think there would be a little more creativity.

[@BKKhyan]

Love the message. United not divided. All glory to God🙏🏼. Hell yah. Awesome content, awesome hunts.

[@papaschuette]

Dedication and hard work pays off again. Those 3 deer were bigger than anything I've seen in quite a few years. I got skunked this year, and I'll be losing access to about half of the property I hunted this year. Urban sprawl here in Northwest Indiana. And there really isn't that much public land to hunt in my area. Always great to come along on your trips.

[@ServeNProtect]

invite you to my country in America wild boar is very popular and is licensed by the government to hunt freely

[@papaschuette]

Where about are you located?

[@ServeNProtect]

I live in Texas, where there are a lot of feral pigs, up to 3 million of them. We are allowed by the government to hunt freely@@papaschuette

With the smaller bodies in texas , it’s just wild how much bigger those antlers look. Congrats fellas!!!

[@houghtonic1975]

awesome to see success for Cody. I liked the filming of this hunt. Perfect bowshot on that second buck. I'm curious on the performance of that beast as far as hole size, etc.

[@wvbowhunter1]

Love the video. Also, kudos to you for being open about hunting a high fence place. Lot of dudes have too big of an ego to admit

[@EdgarGonzalez-ky1ho]

I live in San Antonio and hunting in Texas in the RUT is awesome; congrats on your bucks . Hope to see more Texas hunting .

[@brycekearns207]

Honestly awesome video but really love seeing the kids involved at the end that's what it's all about!!!

[@marlonorsburn4345]

Looked like you were having a blast!! Thanks for sharing! Also I dig the earth riser with the ambush limbs!

Hard work hunting over bait.your a real hard worker. And yea been bow hunting 45 years .

[@jacobflowers8607]

The guy has probably put more miles in one season than you have your whole 45.

[@mattgipe84]

I know I’m just as excited for my buddies when I get that text or call saying deer down! Such a rush of a feeling regardless of whose deer it is for us.

[@chetmanley2883]

Watching the arrow fly and hit the target in slow motion is real zen for hunters. I could watch that all day

[@vancejohnson1778]

Great stuff man! Damn close top 100k, congrats dan!

[@JustinRednourFishing]

Love the editing. Jeff is doing a great job, not that it was bad before! Great job on the buck!!!

Awesome stuff! God is good and pumped to see the little ones be part of the good harvest. Mahalos for sharing! 🤙🏽

That second shot was the most money shot i have ever seen! Hell yeah

[@Wallyofthewild]

been waiting on this one!

[@Langeoutdoors11]

Just got two packs of the best Broadheads. I got the 125 grain, 2 inch , interested to see how they perform on whitetails this year. Never arrowed anything with my bow so hopefully these Broadheads will help me in my first season of bow hunting!

[@davidadams4789]

We shot 2 deer with the Beast. Both were broadside shots and center punched the heart. In both cases we had full pass throughs, both heads made close to a full cutting diameter entrance hole but apparently closed back up and only made slightly over a 1” cut through the heart. Both heads were recovered intact and in good shape though of course dull. They need to do some additional work on the design as not have a cutting diameter as large as most fixed blades through the vitals is far from ideal.

[@CatfishCody]

Congratulations, your helping the Bowmars pay off their 75k poaching fine

[@EventsO3]

@@CatfishCody I don’t care. They make good products and like I said don’t care about something that happened almost 10 years ago to this pojnt

[@CatfishCody]

@JaxsonCobb11352 10 years huh? They were convicted in 2023. I live in Nebraska, our turkey population is declining rapidly, and these "celebrities" came in and poached them. The other people involved got prison time, while these soft hand Bowmars got fines and a little probation. His wife is entangled in litigation up to her eye balls over her fitness scheme. They know they'll always have someone to sucker. It's easier to fool a man than convince him he's been fooled

[@CMac0517]

Awesome hunts! Congrats on two awesome buck harvest!!

Nice vid. Great hunt. Family always. It was wild to see the distress in your face after you moved that huge rattler. I dont know what id look like but i imagine it would be that or worse. Calm stress is what that was.

[@SlimPickins_07]

Congrats on some nice Texas deer! Great video as always

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Awesome bucks all three of them from you and Cody. You and that Lift are shooting laser beams out there. I am glad that you had a camera man that matched your energy even though he cat naps and brings good luck 🍀. I appreciate you giving glory to God 🙏😇 and I really like the United not divided mission statement. Oh and that rattlesnake 🐍 looked like a python 🐍 😳

[@dougbeller239]

Great video. Congrats. If your going to hunt south texas invest in a pair of snake boots. They make your hunt more enjoyable not having to constantly worry about rattle snakes.

[@Foreverbowhunting84]

One of the best and most bad$$ videos I've seen in a long time. Keep at it fellas!!!

[@perryknetter8577]

Thank you Dan for giving Thanks to the Lord God's Blessings on all your adventures. I Love to film hunts I don't care to be in front of the camera. Great Job on the hunt

Great shot!

[@TheJamesthebob]

my success is your success gave me goose bumps love it

[@Tj-pk1qk]

That dude who shot that big deer is the symbol of bad sportsmanship because he said don’t shoot this deer if he steps out in front of you like excuse me you don’t own any deer and if you lose a friend over a deer he wasn’t a true friend to begin with

[@joshuajensen2430]

I would have definitely gotten winded after seeing that snake, probably would have blown out the deer and majority of the critters in the area if you catch my drift. Awesome video, looks like fun coubtry to hunt

I'd probably still do my scent protocol even in a ground blind. I don't get many chances so maybe thats why.. 🤷‍♂️

@@ElkShape thanks. I was looking at the carter wise choice. Is the too simple a step up from that one?

[@taylormichael2313]

Shooting them while they are stuck inside the fence! That's ridiculous!!! btw this is satire but I'm sure lots of people think it is the case. Deer can jump 6ft fences for breakfast.

Beast's seem like a legit head, however they should seriously consider offering replacement blades.

[@scottcrawford3745]

Probably shouldn't be tracking, hunched-over carrying a fired and bloody arrow with the broadhead facing towards you... you're a long way from help if you trip or fall and that (potentially septic ) point gets you deeply...

[@ServeNProtect]

Why don't you use a gun? Using a bow and arrow may not be able to penetrate the flesh of your prey

[@tylerrose4748]

I see you want positivity in comments and unite not divide… but at what cost? Bowmars have multiple poaching charges and I wish people I looked to didn’t support them

[@aarongoeppner413]

So Dan??? Sold on the beast heads!??

[@ElkShape]

I'm sold on FIXED broadheads as most folks already know, but to answer your question... Yes, the Beast performed and is the sharpest mechanical I've seen yet. -DS

[@Tj-pk1qk]

I’m sorry but hunting is supposed to be a nationwide team sport not a sport where oh you shoot this buck our friendships over, like a high fenced cough cough I mean wild animal belongs to nobody and whoever that deer steps in front of thats who it should be going home with at night I would’ve sent an arrow through that buck just for principal to show it belongs to nobody and then to say stay in your blind until I say otherwise excuse me that’s called bullying

[@jaykreed2718]

Came here for a broadhead review. Left immediately after you willing to shoot that year old right out of the gate.

[@josephr1198]

Josh bowmar is a poacher and should be shunned from the Industry. Quit supporting poachers.

[@TCoutdoors95]

Simply untrue. He was acquitted of all poaching charges and simply charged with conspiracy, essentially that he should have known better. He is not a poacher.

[@ServeNProtect]

So he had a plot and intention to steal, bro?@@TCoutdoors95

[@josephr1198]

​@cooperoutdoors9635 Conspiracy to what? He literally admitted to taking wildlife illegally in his plea deal. Read further I'll post it. And you realize that his plea deal is public record. In that document there's things like elements of crime, and then there's elements understood and admitted to, factual basis. Under that you see what Josh admitted to, section II, B, 6 "Defendants conducted approximately three (3) to five (5) hunts per year at HHO. At various times from at least on or about September I 0, 2015, through at least November 6, 2017, Defendants agreed to purchase hunting and guiding services from RHO for the purposes of taking, possessing, and acquiring wildlife, some of which was attempted to be taken in violation of the laws and regulations of the State of Nebraska. Wildlife taken, possessed, and acquired in the State of Nebraska was transported in interstate commerce from the State of Nebraska into Ohio." So there you go Josh bowmar violated game laws. He is a poacher.

[@Matt-jl8xf]

@@josephr1198 I think you are reaching a bit man. Violating a game laws does not equate to poaching. I made a mistake fly fishing out west once where it was barbless only, and I forgot to pinch the barb on one of my flies and sure as sh*t a game warden pops out and asks to see my fly. I show him and explain I forgot, and then showed him my box of flies with virtually all of the barbs pinched and he was cool... so, is that grounds to call me a poacher because I technically violated a fish and game law? ... to anyone with common sense thats a definite no.... and for arguments sake, had that warden charged me and then after years of court dates, they offered me a plea deal to just say I had conspiracy to violate the law and take a minimal punishment, I would take that deal rather than keep fighting trying to prove it was an honest mistake..... Try to think beyond the surface of things... Yes, I'm sure they had known some shady stuff was going on but continued to hunt with the outfitter because he wants content... that is certainly wrong and he should answer for it... But taking a plea deal does not mean certain guilt. If you know anything about the system sometimes its WAY easier and cheaper for someone to take a small slap on the wrist and move on, than spend countless thousands on lawyers and time to continue the court case which may just end at the same result anyways. The plea deal was smart and anyone in the situation, even if they know damn well they are innocent would probably take that deal as well to save money and time... I'm sure he knew what was happening there which is the real thing he should be blamed for, but you cannot call him a poacher without hard evidence he was literally poaching. What you just posted means nothing. If you know the baiting laws where he was hunting, you can only base poaching on speculation and nothing more. Yes, he helped put out bait.... and thats legal there as long as you hunt 200 yards away from it from what I understand, and he did not take a deer over a bait pile. I am not a fan of him by any means, but I am not a grudge filled person that looks for anything they can to put someone else down. Maybe he did shoot a deer with a rifle or over bait...but there is not hard proof of that. There has been WAY too much guilty until proven innocent going on in our society these days. On a side note, his cease and desist order to that guy that was making nose buttons or whatever was just lame. He can claim its business, but I think its punching down and a bit arrogant to go after a small time person making a few bucks off something they made. So, I don't think they are the greatest of people out there.... but all the poacher allegations are either just jealous people or grudge filled. In the hunting world, the term poacher is about as bad as it gets... and needs hard evidence before dragging someone through the mud for that... all the evidence I have seen about him poaching is just total speculation because he took a plea deal.... which does not mean guilt of poaching. Thats just my .02 . I am not looking for an argument so will not respond, I just wanted to state my opinion and let others judge for themselves.

[@josephr1198]

@Matt-jl8xf I see you didn't read the part of the plea deal where Josh Bowmar literally confessed to knowingly taking game illegally, and knowingly transporting that game across state lines. I don't care about your anecdotes, we are referencing the court case where Josh Bowmar plead guilty to illegally killing g animals, as per the plea deal. What is your definition of poaching?

[@Coe221]

Shhh. Imagine preaching united, not divided, and hunting a place where a majority of land is private. Land access divides us. The thrill of the hunt and fever to come unites us. Promoting products from a poacher divides us. Ecologigical rehabilitation and management for all beings unites us.
