Not many people will understand how hard that was. Well done to film it beautifully.

The man....the Myth...the legend Profty!!!

[@aidenonfire]

Incredible amount of practice and dedication leading to a single moment. So special man!

[@stuartparkinson837]

Bloody good work mate! I got my first a couple weeks ago, so much learnt from you. The stuff you produce, either technical or just pure inspiration, is golden. We can't help but love it!

[@dannysdirtbikeadventures2606]

Yet another quality video. I like watching these Bow hunting videos. Thanks for sharing

[@jaromdeeks8171]

Hi Mate. I just had to say how much I appreciate your videos. I’m a new. Make that very new bow hunter and your videos are so inspiring. Keep up the great work.

[@Healthfighthunt]

Took me a few years to get my first deer with a bow, not in the rut. So sweet you got your first deer down, all those years hunting and reps with the bow on full display. Really happy for you Profty.

[@GuyRPaxton]

Well done Profty!! Most will not understand the challenge of Bow Hunting. Took me 2 years, every second weekend Bow Hunting to learn the skills to get close enough to harvest my first dear with traditional Bow Hunting equipment.

[@wizardwanny]

nothing like bowhunting. Congrats dude!

Congrats on the Bow mate it's a totally different experience a game of patience and persistence.

[@Snappernose]

Whole new level with the bow, going to be hard to go back to a boom stick after a kill with the struggle stick🏹. Awesome stuff

[@richardkeeling5430]

Well done your very lucky you got to make sure that don’t have anything shiny on you they see everything

[@aschlack8889]

Lost your deer hunting virginity all over again! The good times were natural 😍

Well done with the bow AND camera Profty. I had to laugh when you got up late and the buck walked past camp! Nice animal - very nice skin too. You have a great spot there.

[@BenNoxon-eo3zr]

Loving these videos, they are teaching me so much!

[@matthewtemple1161]

Congrats on the first deer with a bow. Was out 12-15th. Morning of the 15th they really started croaking, mate and I got our first deer with rifle. Thanks for your many videos over the years.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

So good you guys got your firsts and also got the full croak experience!

[@lancejensen7737]

Whether its a good stag. A hind or a spiker. Every time you get a deer with the bow it feels like a trophy. Well done mate

[@rodgeorge7244]

Well done mate first one with the bow in some great looking country, awesome .

[@Octavius8080]

That's great mate just got into bowhunting myself. It's about the journey not just the kill and we've been hunting with bows for thousands of years. If one of your ancestors could not hunt with a bow you would almost certainly not have been born.

Nicely done mate. I'm still trying for my first bow trophy, persistence pays off. Great work again

Man I really respect the tenacity of you bow hunters, just amazing stuff!

[@Julzbennic]

Well done mate! The man has done it 🤝🏽

[@danielsta4l887]

Top shelf mate. Hard work pays off. Interesting that there wasn’t too much croaking going on. Had about 6 days of solid croaking down here in NE VIC about the same time you were hunting. Keep up the good work 👌

[@harrisonjpugh]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, congrats legend

[@herve160181]

congrats!!!

[@brendanturner243]

Pretty cool bro getting your first deer with a bow on film it will be one to remember. Even had some cool frog sound effects in there, nice job keeping it together for the camera. Congratulations on your harvest🤙

[@jasonbell1490]

Great work Profty. Thanks for the video & congratulations on some well earned success.

[@boostedbuiltgarage]

Cracking shot mate! Perfect example of when you put in the hard work and get rewarded👌

[@trib22]

Tops work, Profty. I'm still getting better and stalking more often. About time I got one.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

You’ll get there mate, be willing to dramatically chance stalking tactics if you’ve persisted with one single approach

[@Zubtec]

Bloody fantastic brother!!! So cool. Well done!

[@timbow50]

Awesome! Congratulations The bow is such a challenge and to pull it off on your first hunt is magnificently rewarding. And you made a great shot. 👍👍👀

[@mathewgrizzfishing]

Brother! That was an awesome watch! Congratulations on your first with the Bow! It’s an experience that will forever feel that way! Hence why I now only bow hunt. Loving your content! Awesome stuff mate! Extremely well deserved and some how documented perfectly! Awesome watch 15/10

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Stoked it was an enjoyable watch! 100% addicted

[@mattytalbot777]

So good! Hard hunts with a payoff at the end are amazing. Well done!

[@mattytalbot777]

Great footage Profty!

[@HerrGesetz]

Legend! Bow hunting is so much harder and more time consuming than rifle. I sold my bow soon after the first deer walked away that I could have gotten easily with a rifle. This motivated me again. I can hear the bucks croaking from my bedroom during the rut. Live near Woodhill forest in nz. They just stopped croaking a few days ago

[@Glaciershark]

you got a lot of animals of film there. looks like a good place to hunt. thanks

[@keithleveridge7111]

Congratulations profty, proof the hard work pays off

[@cavemankris]

Well done mate! What an achievement. Stoked for you mate.

[@dropclay1]

If you found it that hard, ive got no hope 😂 awsome to see you getting in to bow hunting man...

[@AussieBushHarvest]

All that matters is it’s possible. If it’s possible and you want it there’s definitely hope!

Another legendary video mate! Just gotta make a primitive bow now and youll be living like its 2024 BC *On a serious note, really good video im so happy to see such you experience the unique and bloody legendary experience of bow hunting. Been looking forward to this video when i found out you wanted to bow hunt, glad i caught it so early

[@shanemckenzie9081]

Sensational Profty, much respect.

[@chrisselleck1239]

Hey dude, another bowhunter here. Im a believer in antler rattles. I called in a massive buck and a spika last week. I was doubtful until a had a buck run 500m to come check me out. Im converted.

Well done Profty. Doesn't look rutty at all.

Barely a scratch on him, fluffy coat, almost like he wasn’t rutting yet.

Great Vid Profty

[@TheMystraven1]

Congrats mate. Best feeling hunting with the bow. Was this public land or a private block? Great numbers looks like

[@brucetitchener9922]

congrats

[@Thewhiterabbit395]

That’s hard work mate congrats. What was the range on that shot? Your placement was great. Did you get a chance to range it or did you determine it on the fly?

[@Lonewolfant]

Well done mate, love hunting with a bow myself. Love the challenge of it. A different feeling to the rifle in my opinion. You gonna hint with a bow more often?

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Yes mate, completely different feeling. No less love for the rifle, will be doing both but bow hunting is utterly addictive. Close encounters with animals constantly.

[@daste1263]

Great video, dude! How do you prepare the meat when harvested around the rut though?

[@captainchlamydia02]

Can I ask out of interest why u would wait to approach the deer once ud taken the shot

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

champion

[@bbmas1930]

Did you find the arrow tip inside it? Stuck in the offside shoulder?

[@venger3378]

Nice one, you held steady and nice shot placement 💯 is that a Bear Motive 7 or 6, I still. have my motive 7 still a great bow good specs. What spine and weight arrows are you using?, guessing 125grain broadheads, what brand plz

[@AussieBushHarvest]

It’s a Bear effect, I’ve been using crafted archery shafts 350s. Kyuga 125 broadheads

[@miffy1904]

Hey Profty how do you go with the Leeches? Do you get hammered by them?

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Its all area specific, some areas have next to none, the other day first week of April after the big rains we had, I picked over 100 off me over a few days

[@Kurtis8801]

What are your thoughts on HECS suits?

[@AussieBushHarvest]

What’s a HECS suit?

[@Kurtis8801]

@@AussieBushHarvest It's a base layer you wear when hunting or wanting to get closer to wildlife in general, it supposedly blocks your electromagnetic radiation. They've done experiments with the suit on deer and it appears to let you get closer. I've personally noticed a huge difference with birds, but I think that's because they need to detect it in order to migrate.

[@nickm3360]

This might be a dumb question, but why did you wait 10 minutes? Also, do you hunt the deer throughout the whole day? In my limited experience, I found early morning and late arvo the only time worth trying.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

So I waited 10minutes just in case the animal some how had an adrenaline kick and bolted somewhere I couldn’t recover it. I shoot the majority of my animals between 9am and 3pm. Yes a lot of animals will become active early and late in the day and move in to open feed areas, but if they’re pressured they might only feed nocturnally. Point being deer don’t stop existing during the day, and because I hunt forested areas where they mostly bed and spend their days, most of my success happens then. The rut is different though as you’ll have animals active all throughout the day

[@nickm3360]

@@AussieBushHarvest That's interesting and good to know. I'll keep that in mind when I go to my usual bowhunting property in the New England area in June. The deer there seem to be fairly predictable, they come down the mountain in the arvo to feed, and then go back up the mountain early morning to bed down, usually along the same trails. This time I might try and find them during the day and stalk up to them. I haven't nailed one yet, but after watching this video, I'm not coming back till I get one. I might be gone for a while...

[@Abowhuntersjourney]

Only bowhunters understand the persistence

[@johnmac6226]

Well done Profty that was an amazing achievement and hunt. You captured it on camera so well. How good was that Pied buck at the end 😮 Did you see Ty’s doe that he dropped last week. We didn’t have much croaking at all. I think it’s a late rut.

[@johnnyhatch9052]

A lot of knocking. Is it binos/camera on your bow?

[@johnnyhatch9052]

Well done by the way.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Thanks mate, no I had to grab a new tripod last minute, cheap piece of shit clacks on every move, or shift of the pan head

[@RedPathRambler]

@@AussieBushHarvest Lovin' the vids mate. Get a little squirt bottle of graphite dust for that tripod clack. 👍

[@howardwilliams7399]

Theres a reason why the Indians gave the bow and arrow the flick once they learned to use a rifle.😂😂😂😂
