I remember them days me and my cousin would park on the side of the old piece of road. One took one ridge I’d take the other we didn’t have cell phones in them days we left his or my truck whoever had the most gas and stay gone till around noon. Shortly one of us would come out to get help from the other to drag a deer out. Absolutely the best times. He’s at his house barely can get around anymore and I had triple bypass heart surgery last Thursday. We still go not near as much as we used to. Take care of yourself you’re young buddy it don’t take much to knock a person down and keep him down. Be safe and GOD BLESS

OUTSTANDING! Excellent video, Excellent hunt, Beautiful deer! Sorry for the loss of Dave!

[@melfincarbajal5096]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos Sir. There's no other hunter that inspires me more to keep on hunting and pass that way of life onto my children!! thank for your awesome videos!

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@grantgoff10sc8]

Such a great demeanor to all your content. Also people don’t realize just how difficult it is to hunt deer with a stick bow, much less get beautiful footage of it. Outstanding brother

[@smeraldoderosa7556]

Hello Gabe. In my book you have the best white tail hunting videos! From your commentary to the acoustic guitar music , the images, your obvious love of the natural world.... Because of health problems I couldn't be out there with my bow this past season, hopefully this next. In the meantime your videos will help keep the dream alive. All the best to you and yours.

[@donovanpautz]

Beautiful Animal. Excellent Shot.

[@brianpassalacqua1138]

Awesome tribute to Dave! And some nice meat for freezer. Good job Gabe! 👏

[@randlerichardson5826]

I’m going to pull some age on you here Have you seen the Dan Fitzgerald videos they were the Passing Through series. He set up cameras on him up in a stand and caught the arrow passing through as he called it.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

We used to rent those VHS videos all the time! Passing Through was one of my favorites. They were the best ones on the market for quite awhile.

[@williams3631]

Yeah, I always enjoyed the Fitzgerald videos as well. Great father and son team.

[@stevemiller2470]

I still own them. AND Hunting October Whitetails with Wensel and Blase.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

I could listen to Gene and Barry Wensel all day! Great guys and loved their videos

[@jtmills86]

Fred Eichlers "Traditional Harvest" videos were amazing as well.

[@jerrycox2058]

Awesome video, awesome shot. like those broadheads.

[@Trinitystillmyname]

I have really enjoyed your channel. I believe you can be more than just a youtube channel producer if you want to be. You have talent unmatched by no one producing hunting vids in MI at this time. I am sorry for your loss of a good hunting friend. I too have lost many and share the ups and downs life throws at you.

[@tombrennan6583]

Nice tribute to your friend. Love your trad bow content!

[@leonardcavaretta905]

Know how you feel. I lost my best friend and hunting partner, my Dad, 2 February's ago and my youngest brother last February. Also all of my Dad's friends that I grew up hunting with have passed. It's hard, but I still get out there more and more, but don't like hunting alone. Nice video and doe. God bless.

[@kevinnanasy8854]

Great video and tribute Gabe.

[@MollyDogg1234]

Very well made video. Sorry for the loss of your good friend. I just bought a stickbow. Hoping to hunt with it next year. Growing tired of the cams, cables, and gizmos.

[@mkshffr4936]

As someone with age and disability issues I would be interested in ground level archery hunting.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

I completely understand. However, it's very hard to self-tape these hunts and kill deer with a longbow from a tree stand. It would ridiculously hard to try to do the same from the ground. I've shot quite a few deer from the ground but only been able to video them with a GoPro which doesn't make for good video. When I have a cameraman it's a little easier but that's not very often at all unfortunately. Sorry.

[@johnsimmons4304]

Great video. I really liked the ground camera footage. That was unique and really cool. That's a beautiful longbow too. Thanks for a great video.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Sorry for your loss praying for y’all GOD BLESS

[@gcr0003]

That video from the other side is insane! Great video, subscribed. Hunting traditional for the first year myself.

[@ericlind3569]

I’m sorry about the loss of your friend. Great shot, great hunt! I can’t believe how great the video clarity is as well!! What was the name of the broadhead again?? I’d like to look them up!

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

Thanks! The broadhead is a Cold Arrow Archery and he’s got a website you can check them out.

[@jeffreydlugokinski9038]

Love killin does.

Congrats man!

[@ericlafollette6424]

Nice work on the video Gabe. Dave Bott was one of my favorite customers when I was still in Michigan. I will bet I sold or traded close to 75 different Trad bows with him. He was na really nice guy, always positive thinker! Nice tribute.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

Very cool. Yeah, I can’t imagine how many bows he had over the years! He helped a lot of people get into bow hunting too. Great guy. Thanks Eric.

[@brianc6739]

Great shot! Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and his family and friends.

[@billytea5850]

Nice shot my friend..what limb veneers do you have on your bow?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

The are walnut burl veneers. 👍🏻

[@TheGrandSlayer]

Love your videos so much. Get excited every time I see one! Where did you get your bow and what is it called, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@TheGrandSlayer]

Never mind, I just saw you mention it in the video 😂

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

@@TheGrandSlayer, haha, beat me to it.

[@tsr_outdoors]

Very nice New sub here Keep it up

[@michaellane4003]

Nice video man! Always great to sweeten the freezer and the fresh heart meat is delicious. I'm going to try fresh liver and onions this year too. 😊

[@bradlauber9097]

Wondering what the width of the broadheads you were using? Some archers swear a 1.5 inch two blade is the way to go for blood trials. What is your experience for overall cut and blood trails?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

The head I used for this hunt is just over an inch. I believe it’s 1 1/8”. I too used to want a big cut broadhead. But I found I lost penetration and didn’t always get a pass through shot. I would rather have two holes in an animal than one big one. Just my two cents. I shot two deer last year with this head and both died in sight in less than 60yds. I’ve shot a lot of deer with all different heads and this is as good a performance in a head as you can hope for. So, my overall experience is that shot location trumps size of head. If you make a bad shot, a bigger cut head can help but I’d rather have two holes (and possibly smaller width) myself.

[@bradlauber9097]

Good to know as I shoot 1.1/8 two blade and had them drop 50 yrds as well. I also shoot a small 3 blade that works very well also.. Some bowhunters mentioned the bigger the Broadhead they found more often the deer would even run off faster with a bigger wound than a smaller cut head.. I agree shot placement is everything and two holes are better than one.. thank you

[@Boatflipit]

Are you still liking the bow? Where at in Michigan are they made?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

I’ve got about 10 different trad bows and this is my favorite. It’s short and maneuverable for treestand hunting and also forgiving for how short it is. I love it!

[@Erieeyes]

Gotta love bow hunting nothing like hunting undisturbed deer love your set up

[@danielklee2933]

Very cool video! Excellent shooting! Butch makes a really good broadhead doesn't he. I've know him for a long time. He's a great shooting and hunting companion, and I know how passionate he is about making his equipment into a quality product. I like the made in Michigan products too. You just can't go wrong.

[@decaturridgebees8761]

Awesome shot and very sorry about your friend! So glad we have hope! One thing i noticed in this vid was that the shot seemed close but how quickly that doe reacted. Your shot was perfect! I know these bows and heavier arrows aren’t fast but man are they lethal. And boy do these deer have some crazy abilities. Good hunt

[@erikw4141]

What camera did you use for filming this?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

I shot it on a Sony NX80 and some GoPros

[@tjsteet]

Great video and sorry for your loss, Gabe. I'm curious about your arrow setup; I have an Ogemaw on the way and can't wait to start tinkering!

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

You’ll love the new bow! They are nice. If you need the setups I’m using, I try to always post them in the description. This one was shot with a Day Six HD 400 with a 225gr Cold Arrow Archery head.

[@smeraldoderosa7556]

Great to see anew video Gabe. Will not be able to bow hunt this year, health reason, so I'll be looking forward to see your hunts and those from other avid bow hunters like you and to all the hunting community out there blessings and be careful.

Hunters have been asking for mandatory check-in for years. It doesn’t bother me at all. We’ve had to do it for years out west.
