Hunt Strategy Breakdown | I almost got RAN OVER

Hunt Strategy Breakdown | I almost got RAN OVER
About 10 days after taking my first buck on my new property, I decided to go out and talk about the hunt, specifically the access and the stand location. I discuss how I walked in, the wind direction, and even the buck's trail as he was coming in. In mid interview, I was interrupted by a hot doe and multiple bucks, resulting in a wild face to face encounter!

I’m so incredibly proud of you my son! Thank you for your talent and education you provide to so many❤❤❤

[@rodluck239]

I love how raw these videos are! So much better than the edited and polished ones! Keep up the good work!

[@jeremiahjohnson6971]

You the man... you and Mr. Winke should team up again...

[@ralphempson2719]

I see a bright future for you Jared, and I will enjoy it! Thanks brother.

[@jaredmills]

Appreciate you Ralph!

[@jayb2467]

I hope you stay with this type of content. This reminds me of the winke days at MW. Plus people love seeing hunts in the timber and breakdowns/strategy. Keep up the awesome work Jared!!

[@jaredmills]

Thanks for the input Jay, I appreciate it!

[@someonesomebody5453]

WOW= absolutly the best natural footage i ever seen, so awesome, thank you for the rush !

[@davidjelinek1977]

That was insane ! Between this one and the buck fight in creek that one time , both are incredible

[@RyanL88827]

The fight in the creek was the legend buck, Chuck Norris

[@jaredmills]

For sure, it had some similarities to that one!

[@Redsfanforever1]

Brother, you see some of the wildest stuff and get it on camera!! The fight you filmed many years ago is still the best one I have ever seen...

[@jaredmills]

Right place right time over and over again! Haha, thanks for watching Tom

[@mikef41]

Thanks for showing us your farm. And the sound quality is awesome also sit in the woods and just listen.

[@mikekitchen4568]

Always loved the break down of the hunt / updates you do to your property, as much as your hunting videos.

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Mike, good to know. I’ll try to do more of that style. Appreciate you watching

[@joespatola1091]

Great content! I really enjoyed you walking us through this setup. That woods and river bottom is beautiful.

[@joshuanewsome5298]

That chasing footage was so cool! Glad u were not ran over because obviously not so cool. You are the best hunter on KZbin IMO. You do such an amazing job explaining the how, why, and where and that allows us to learn so much from you. Thanks for making this video!

[@jaredmills]

Joshua- I truly appreciate it. Reach out anytime with what you want to see and thanks for watching!

[@memphisdaniels2619]

Don't forgot about my boy Lee on seekone🤟

[@HomemadeOutdoors]

I love seeing setups, overhead shots, topo, wind direction and such. I love to learn and sometimes feel like I get complacent, and overlook the opportunity to change my strategy even on my own land. Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@jaredmills]

Glad you liked that style, I can do more like that for sure. I agree with you, I think it’s easy to get complacent at times. Thanks for watching!

[@lindbergd24]

Great Video, Jared. The breakdown of why you did what you did is nice to see. Not many others show this info but it’s very helpful. Congrats and good luck!

[@KellenGidcumb]

Enjoy your videos, thank you for not adding music on your hunts. Love the raw footage and the sounds of nature just like it supposed to be, feel like I am in the tree with you. I can honestly say your one of the best deer hunters today. You have killed some giants over the years and I am looking forward on seeing more in the future. Happy Hunting

[@jaredmills]

Kellen- I appreciate the comments, it’s great to hear that you feel a part of it. Thank you, all the best

[@Whitetailpursuer]

Truly awesome! I had a similar thing happened to me once. I climbed down out of my tree one evening. It was overcast and very dark. I took about 3 steps from my tree, then all of a sudden the woods came alive! Two bucks chasing a doe! One of the bucks circled and ran about 3 feet from me! I felt the wind off him when he came by! I bet I had that same look on my face that you did. Keep doing what you’re doing! We all are enjoying the content. Thanks

[@tacticalsnoopy]

Great video! Please do more in the future. This is a big help and love to see how you see things on a setup

[@bowers673]

That chase is one of the coolest secs of video ever. Awesome!

[@bryanroberts]

Great footage with the chase! You did well hanging in there. I'm not so sure I wouldn't have jumped and/or flinched on that one!! I like hearing and seeing what and why you were there!

[@joshuacaccamise6608]

That footage was incredible as always. Thanks for the breakdown of the hunt and the setup. Your attention to detail is spot on. And again thanks for another educational video. I literally walk away every time with new knowledge. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@jaredmills]

Great to hear man, glad you liked it and appreciate you watching as always!

[@OscarPerez-mn3po]

You didn’t have to say a word about that killer set up, the hot doe and her chasers pretty much proved why your set was spot on! Thanks much Jared for the education, and please continue! The deer spirits continue to smile upon you, and deservingly so!

[@jaredmills]

Haha, I know! I thought about that after the fact, those deer read the script perfectly for that video. I appreciate the support as always Oscar!

[@PaulKilbury]

The breakdown of your setup is awesome - my favorite part

[@wesodegaard1434]

Loved the details and the bonus bulldozer bucks…cue the deer. Awesome Jared!

[@slockflipem]

You are one of my favorites keep everything up .info is well explained and your patience to get the shots is something I don't have .awesome stuff

[@jaredmills]

Thanks flip! I appreciate it. All the best

[@allenberkebile8480]

Thanks for another great video! Great advice and tips for entering and choosing your stand. Loved the close encounter with those deer. That was totally awesome!!

[@kygunner7579]

Awesome video and footage. Nothing like thick swampy river creek bottom type places in the rut. Especially funnel areas.

[@garrettstraffon608]

That was pretty cool. Seeing things like that chase are almost like a successful hunt in my eyes. I love seeing cool things. Fights, bucks thrash trees close to you, chasing, grunting, not always about the kill but obviously the kill just tops it off,

[@Thebilliardman]

That's gotta be the most amazing chase ever caught in the wild. Thanks for sharing Jared!!!

[@cameronhatcher5215]

That is nuts!! Legit almost got run over. And that setup and access is awesome! I pulled out my maps and started plotting how I can use ditches or creeks as access in the future. Love it!

[@brian1110]

Great recap of the hunt and even better was the chasing right in your face. What a great piece of property. Excited to see the next hunt!

[@coburnc4557]

One of the only people I know that could hang a stand in Walmart parking lot and kill a giant deer …….. love the vid homie !!!

[@jaredmills]

😂😂😂 That’s actually the next video coming out!! Ha, appreciate ya buddy

[@jasonnester9514]

I know two guys like that they could hunt inside walmrt and kill a booner

[@neilfisch6533]

This is a great teaching video. Most of youtube hunting videos are all about "ME". This allows us all to learn from what you did. Thank you. And the chase was great.

[@jaredmills]

Neil- thanks for the comment. As long as people can learn from it, I'll keep doing it.

[@frankgulla8782]

That was freakin awesome! Man they were haulin butt and crossed that drainage like it wasn't there, thanks for your effort, loving your channel.

[@jaredmills]

No doubt, the way that buck adjusted after seeing me move and hop that steep bank was something to see. Thanks for following Frank!

[@unclemoe5733]

Call it what you will, Lady luck or Jesus justs keeps shining down on you. What a scene that was! The breakdown got overshadowed by the chase! You should Tic Toc that! Looking forward to more of the adventures of Jared Mills!!!

[@cowman540]

that was so cool having too stop the interview because deer chasen doe ...that was a close call ..great job Jered

[@brandonanderson8213]

Awesome content, always like watching and learning tip and tricks from you. Self Filming is not easy that is for sure. Because of your thoughts on using water access in and out, I 100% use that tip most of the time. Keep up the work and content!

[@cheetoz6902]

I just found your channel and all I can say is AWESOME. You are a Whitetail Wizard and must be part deer. Your skills are through the roof . I am addicted to your wisdom and utter will for the biggest whitetail deer in natural habitat. I'm a sub forever. Love your vids and wisdom to these majestic big bucks

[@jaredmills]

Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for subscribing. Reach out anytime

[@cheetoz6902]

@@jaredmills thanks for that . I'm 50 years old and that means alot

[@ericstinson5164]

Really enjoyed watching your hunt and this follow up video. Not sure how to describe it, but I guess it’s your humble or genuine demeanor that is refreshing to watch. Versus….over dramatic music filled hunting shows. I like to feel like I’m hunting with the person filming and you do well with that.

[@robvonky]

THAT IS A QUADRUPLE WOW JARED!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!

[@marysimpson5958]

That video was as good as the hunt its self very informational .Just awsome to see what your thought process is going in to a setup

[@j.cooper2246]

So cool...this past year I experienced almost the same thing walking into my set up as I made my way thru standing corn and the ditch I needed to cross to approach my set up undetected. Was so cool to experienced. Literally had a buck 3 steps from.. my best experienced ever and scared the shit out of me..

[@jaredmills]

It's a wild experience! I was lucky that the camera was already rolling because it happened quick!

[@nicknelson2434]

Your content is amazing and hope you keep bringing this kind and I wanna say congrats on the bucks man.

[@damonbartlett1447]

You were one of the only reasons I watched Midwest whitetail. Happy you went on your own man. Keep doin you and I guarantee the followers will follow lol. Your content is always great.

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Damon, appreciate the long time support. All the best

[@oceanpyrate]

WOW! A Slo Mo, of them chasing across the creek, would've been cool. Great expalnation of your entry, and stand location, Jared, and Congrats again on 2 awesome Bucks!.....Mark

[@jaredmills]

Unfortunately since I was in the middle of an interview, I wasn't filming in a high enough frame rate to play it in slow motion but yeah that would have been cool. Thanks for watching as always Mark!

[@craigsmith7101]

Very good Jared, Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more from your channel.

[@johnm5579]

Awesome videos so far! I really hope some good sponsors get onboard so you can keep producing great content! Keep up the good work Jared, it’s fun to watch.

[@timjohn2810]

Fantastic breakdown of the hunt. This was a very good teachable moment. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.

[@Jmkeith20]

Love it jared keep it up!! Would love to see more of property and stand locations!

[@gooddayoutdoors]

WOW that was close! So cool and congrats on that hammer of a buck! Would love a self film setup video in the future. Keep up the great work!

[@jaredmills]

For sure, I plan to potentially do a series on that. Thanks for the support

[@trentw3614]

I like the new Jared! So much more relaxed!

[@mattdubbya1]

Glad to see your content again Jared. Nothing but net as usual.

[@brettcrawfordracing9615]

Jared you were always my favorite person on midwest whitetail. love your strategy and love your videos you truly do a great job explaining things. if you're ever in new york i have a nice farm with big bucks !!!!

[@uglyfrog7263]

Thanks Jared, another great piece of work!

[@jjdoutdoors]

I like these instructional videos how you explain stuff, keepem coming! Thanks Jared! , oh and I had to watch that twice that you almost got ran over by those bucks chasing! Amazing!

[@jaredmills]

Glad you liked it John, I'll try to keep them coming!

[@jeremyrichardson656]

Great video. Really appreciate the level of detail on your access. Great effort on the locust tree. Often times the right tree is not the easiest tree. Knowing that your wind was going to a dead area was valuable info. Look forward to more videos on thr new farm and how you try to manipulate travel. Oh yeah the chasing footage was crazy too!

[@jaredmills]

Jeremy- thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it, I thought it was a cool spot to breakdown. All the best

[@pepejuan2924]

It looked like that buck veered away from you at the last second, cool video thanks for posting 👍

[@BludauTX]

Holy shyt! That was the most exciting encounter I’ve ever seen, timed perfectly. You were just at the base of the tree describing your access and efforts method and that is a solid testimony on film

[@jaredmills]

Haha. They were right on cue for sure!

[@JaredHcontractor]

Great breakdown Mr Mills! Look forward to more videos.

[@jeremyphillips7128]

I love the videos brother!!! This one really helps us with stand placement. I'd love to see more videos like these to help me better my odds when it ones to this. Thank you for all you do for the hunting community

[@jaredmills]

Glad you like it man. Thanks for watching, I’ll try to do more of these

[@topjak]

Thank you so much for posting this video, Jared. I love your dedication to educating your followers and trying to make us all better hunters. Amazing footage as always! Thanks again!

[@jaredmills]

I appreciate it JK, thanks for watching as always!

[@realrussclarke]

Thanks for the breakdown Jared! So much better than just seeing the hunt and the chase video was a great bonus. So many times I have had those unexpected encounters and said “ wish I had a camera” but you did! Loving your content brother

[@jaredmills]

No problem Russ, glad you liked it. And yes, I"m so glad I was rolling at the time! Thanks for watching man

[@robertfmccarthy2360]

Idk Is it tough getting up the bank, tie a rope in the off season w knots to your tree. You pull right to the base. Very cool, congrats on the farm & your harvest

[@andrewyoung9865]

Jared, awesome video as always. Loved the hunt access and strategy breakdown. These informational videos are great! Keep it up, brother!

[@jaredmills]

Appreciate it as always Andrew, glad you're liking them

[@justinwonch5568]

That was FN amazing! Great stuff Jared! I really liked this video and showing the access and set up. Keep that knowledge coming!

[@jaredmills]

Glad you liked it Justin, thanks for watching man!

[@danmartin9850]

Love the access discussion. Crazy footage too!

[@toby4132]

That was an awesome video and explanation. I called my wife and 12 year old son into bedroom to show them the replay of the chase part. That was crazy. Love the video.

[@PhillipFrankford]

Enjoying the content!! Would enjoy seeing your food plot and your plans for the late season.

[@douganderson2034]

Hey Jared! Love your videos man. Been watching ya a couple years now. Just an interesting tidbit for thought. I noticed a large tree with a huge crown in the background behind you. I noticed it first in the video when you killed the buck. Over several years of hunting and just being in the woods. I ve noticed trees like that ,just seem to be a magnet to deer and other wildlife. Sometimes, just as a loafing spot. Would be interested to see if you notice any activity in the future of deer just hanging around it. Kinda the water cooler of the woods. May sound weird, but if I see a tree like that in a new woods I'm shed hunting. I always check it out and usually come up with something. Thanks for your time.

[@Lh14729]

Another sweet video! How many acres is this piece if you don’t mind me asking?

[@RyanL88827]

Awesome breakdown Jared! I really like the idea of a recap and how things worked. Especially with aerials and wind. Funny you mention the poison ivy, I was down in Missouri a month ago. Prepped a tree on a Wednesday, killed a nice buck from it Thursday, and came home with what I called poison oak. Miserable, took 2 weeks on prednisone to clear up.

[@seanbalch7563]

Appreciate the behind the scenes hunt breakdown. That chase action was awesome.

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Sean, glad you liked it

[@RobertCooksey-bi7nn]

That Chase was awesome!! If you'd been in the stand hunting and they came by like that it would've been tough to have gotten a better video than the one you got!!

[@rywolfe89]

Glad you didn’t get run over! Great footage and hunt break down as always.

[@ReubenOaks84]

That was an epic video, really lucky you had the camera rolling when that buck almost ran in your lap.

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Great breakdown, Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenshuford5829]

❤😊 What an experience seeing those bucks run that doe. You a man after mine own heart. I love it when strategy comes together and works. Great advice. What kind of lock-ons do you like? Love your videos. Would love to come to Iowa and hunt one time. Have hunted Illinois for 22 years and have seen some Brusiers. Love that footage.

[@Wisconsin_Outdoors]

That was crazy! I thought it was clickbait but that is what clickbait wish it was!!! unreal cool! epic camera footage!

[@matthewgilcris8272]

That was crazy! Love the footage of the bucks chasing and your breakdown of the hunt was great. Thanks Jared for sharing your knowledge!

[@jaredmills]

For sure! Thanks for watching Matthew

[@jaredzeno]

love seeing the layout. awesome video

[@ClemsonFAN251]

Very cool. Not seen many people give you the boots on the ground detailed play by play. Allows others to learn by getting inside your head a little on why you’re doing what you’re doing. Great stuff man. Excited for future content.

[@jaredmills]

Thanks man, glad you liked it

[@LetThemGrow]

Loved the breakdown, that chase was intense, made my heart beat faster just watching!!!

[@mjsully86]

Haha dude that was insane! If you didn't have a camera it would of been a cool story but that footage was awesome! Your expression gave me a good laugh, I look forward to the future content 🍻

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Thanks for bringing us along. Very rare encounter with a running, chasing buck. You get some interesting experiences out there.

[@jaredmills]

It was another one of those right place right time experiences for sure. Thanks as always Guardian

[@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure]

I wondered what happened to you Jared Mills. I always wondered why you and Bill Winke left Midwest Whitetails. I could sense tension between you and Mike Reed and possibly Owen had something to do with it. Anyway, glad to see you posting videos. I'm doing the same thing myself as a solo KZbinr. It is tough to self film by yourself. I know first hand from doing videos. Keep grinding man. I'm going to do the same thing. Eventually our channels will get attention. God bless from Trent Gunnell Georgia Exposure.

[@michiganroots8045]

Nice break down. The chase was icing on the cake!

[@tkz_outdoorsny2904]

Jared thank you for the break down. What a close call with that chase. Even when your not hunting your in the game hahaha. That is definitely a killer spot with great access man.

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Thanks for the break down Jared. That chase was wild! lol

[@Farmersforever1993]

That’s so awesome to be that close to deer like that other than the almost getting ran over. Love the hunt breakdown, definitely gives great advice to learn from.

[@jaredmills]

It was pretty cool and nerve wracking at the same time! Thanks man

[@ericbowhunter]

That’s an awesome informative video Jared! Congratulations on your success this season!

[@jaredmills]

Thanks Eric!

[@michaelcolburn829]

Great content, the footage was really good. Loved seeing the chase, just goes to show the power of the rut even if it's on the backwards side of it. I definitely would appreciate any content involving and pertaining to TSI and land improvement. Thank you.

[@jaredmills]

Appreciate you watching Michael. I'll definitely try to document some of that this offseason.

[@bbd0614]

Dude that’s nuts😂! Your content is top notch and the main reason I watched Midwest Whitetail after Bill left. Appreciate what you do.

[@jaredmills]

Haha, it was nuts for sure. Appreciate the support man!

[@bmalone0688]

You must have some sort of deer magnet Jared. Glad you didn't get wiped out lol. That big tree out in front of your stand is cool looking. This video was super informational. Please continue these. Good luck!

[@jaredmills]

No joke, I don’t know what the deal is this year! And yeah I love that big burr oak in the middle of all the planted trees in there. Thanks for watching as always!

[@whitegolddeerfeed1381]

Great video Jared - on fire buddy!

[@Eich13R]

Only Jared can lay down phenomenal footage while taking a stroll and talking aloud in the timber. Lol great video, love your content. Keep it coming and good luck out there.

[@jaredmills]

😂 For sure, I don't know what the deal is! Thanks for watching!

[@jodytucker4474]

That’s crazy awesome to witness that!!

[@sambricker4731]

Great video. These are the videos I like, ones like this that show how you access etc. I’m always worried I push it a little to far, so much so that I put myself out of the action I think. For instance when you walk that timber edge in I would be worried there could be deer bedded inside that edge of the timber or that as you go along the creek you could bump something along the creek. Interesting with those peninsulas that you feel safe blowing guy me scent into them, I would be worried maybe a bucks bedding in one. Thank you for showing this, makes me feel better about some of my approaches

[@nathanenerson3406]

So awesome man! What a cool experience

[@jackmasters9953]

Thanks for the recap Jared. Love the water access. Silent and scent free 😃. The furthest buck in the video looks like a contender in the next couple years!!! We all can learn from your attention to details. Stalking your blind or tree stand can’t be stressed enough!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Have a great and safe holiday season 🎄🎄

[@jaredmills]

No problem Jack! Thanks for watching and hope you and your family have a great holiday as well

[@carlconley8956]

Like seeing that big oak in the back ground thanks again

[@jaybutler3945]

Love the content man!! It would be great to sit down and sere story’s one day!! Keep up the good work!!!
