HUNTING ZEUS | 40" WIDE MULE DEER

[@shedwrightoutdoors204]

What a buck! And what an amazing story with an ending that even haunts my mind. I hope he is still out there.

[@josephstephens3852]

Great story Martin. Just being that close to a buck of that caliber is quite an achievement. Good luck this season.

[@Martin_Chag]

Thank you 👊

[@kimbreitbarth457]

Great video. Gave me the shivers watching you pursue Zeus. This video was beautifully composed edited and narrated.

[@Martin_Chag]

I appreciate it!

[@chrisdavid261]

Just stumbled onto your you tube page. Great videos and commentary. Can't wait to keep following. Fantastic buck. Best of luck in your future adventures. Stay healthy and safe!

[@shed_fish_hunt9896]

What a buck! amazing story and thank you for sharing it with us and good luck this year.

[@crookedridgephotography2797]

Man that is an insane buck! Crazy he just disappeared and hasn’t re surfaced. Can’t wait to see what you can turn up this year

[@hooliganflyfishing1435]

That is a sweet buck and a bad ass story about him. It's amazing how they just vanish.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

What an amazing video as always! But being in the presence of true monarchs is almost as good as arrowing on.. the time and dedication you put in is undeniable!!! Keep at it my friend you will make it happen! Wish you good health and happiness

[@Martin_Chag]

That’s true! I appreciate it, Thank you

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

@@Martin_Chag best of luck this year bud! I got a spanker bull I am going to try and put an arrow in come September

[@michaeljames2814]

Incredible story and video...second to none! As always im keeping the faith your day will come. I'll be there to watch that one and every one in between! Thanks for the inspiration as always.

[@Martin_Chag]

Thank you!

[@nickanderson1794]

Man, I can't wait to see you get a buck of your dreams. Love the content

[@RandDCustoms2]

Never disappointed with a Chag video! Great story telling.

[@Martin_Chag]

Appreciate it 👍

[@southcreekoutfitters]

Great story and great content Martin. Can’t wait to hear about your 2023 experiences.

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks!

[@mtnphysio1440]

Great story Martin! I am bummed you didn’t get another shot at him! Truly wish you would have found success! From another big mule deer guy… it’s the chase that keeps us coming back! You’ll connect on a 200 incher one day and when you do I will be cheering you on! 👊

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks buddy! Goodluck this fall

[@beestoe993]

Good luck from a fellow Utah Mulie hunter. There are still some good public lands but they are hard to access. Those hills look formidable. I hope your hard work brings you success.

[@scooterb8470]

Wait until you guys get some of our wolves, here in WA state. WA & UT are working on the deal now.

[@Martin_Chag]

We better not!

[@jackfick1973]

Your video production is always top tier! Your time is coming for a 200, all that hard work will pay of big

[@Martin_Chag]

Thank you!!

[@Ryantalliverson]

Legit video Martin! All those experiences are just more and more gas to your fire. Again, I always respect your big buck hold out. #1 or nothing

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks Ryan 👊

[@josephstollsteimer1556]

Love the story of Zeus great character buck

[@artholcomb3731]

Beautiful photography

[@jasondlion]

Love the video! Can't wait to see some elk also! Missed a real good deer yesterday. Next week it's on though!! Good luck

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks and you too!

[@drg2055]

Great presentation! Thank you. Good luck

[@SolvidFIY]

Great mule deer hunt video Martin. A film like this makes the hunt a success even without a shot or kill and was entertaining as is. I was really hoping to see a pov shot with that solvid head cam mount, but that's bowhunting; in range but with no shot op. That mule deer has great survival instinct and is living in some gnarly habitat. I subbed, so will be watching for the sequel this...

[@OnlineFlyFishinGuide]

Great film! Looks like tough hunting and a massive effort. Typical bowhunting - get in range for an hour and never get a shot opportunity. Crszy how instinctive those old bucks are; they know how to survive. Was really hoping to see a POV shot with the Solvid head cam system, but still a great video even though there was no shot and a very entertaining edit. Hopefully you're on Zeus right now and a sequel is in the making...

[@davidperkins8722]

Man how old is that buck! Amazing to see them live so long!

[@TheLikkinBranch]

Alligator season now here in FL.....anxiously waiting for deer to open in September.

[@pjgallegos7187]

Heck of a video man, nothing but good luck to you this season!! 🤟🏽

[@Martin_Chag]

Thank you!

[@scottlindsay-tg3rp]

Man I hope that buck never gets killed but if it does u do deserve it chagelstain

[@Martin_Chag]

Haha the name 😂 thanks

[@timjones2186]

Awesome video. Good luck this year. Season opened yesterday. So hope you are seeing some great bucks. Can't wait to see your hunt video. Keep the awesome videos. And bag that 200+

[@Martin_Chag]

That’s the goal! Thanks

[@nathansanchez4723]

Majestic buck!!! Would have loved to see ya get a whack at him! Your time is coming brotha!!👊🏽

[@bronshaller667]

When I die, I'm going to watch the videos on where the big bucks I've chased ended up. A few I do know, but chasing these bucks makes me feel like I need the closure.

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

Those are some sweet bucks,nice filming as well

[@traviscrowther9929]

Such a great video man! Your hard work will pay off one day!

[@Martin_Chag]

Thank you Travis 💪

[@ollinco]

Ollin content was 🔥🔥

[@bustedoutdoors]

Great video, very well put together.

[@GettingToHeaven]

Great video! Loved it!

[@bellsmountainadventures4917]

This has always been my dream to. While everyone else is always focused on big bull elk. My attention is always directed to the big mule deer in the high country. Ive shot some nice bucks but i hope to connect with a trophy of a lifetime someday but until then i will keep searching and dreaming.

[@Martin_Chag]

I hear ya!

[@rowdyhoundsman]

Sounds like you need to start lion hunting that country! I’m sure you have a buddy out there that has hounds that you could take in there to give those deer some relief. Good luck on finding him this year! He just looked to be older than dirt with that giant sternum and saggy old man throat. Maybe he died of old age?

[@Martin_Chag]

No dogs allowed out here… he easily could have died from old age.

[@rowdyhoundsman]

@@Martin_Chag Well, shoot… Good luck man!

[@1987garywilson]

Great film.

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks!

[@CRR8980]

Always love your videos man I couldn’t have passed on most of those bucks you passed on, so congratulations on the determination to kill a true monster maybe you’ll get your chance this year!🦌🏹🇺🇸

[@Martin_Chag]

Thanks for the support!

[@connor_bohnts]

awesome video you’ll seal the deal this year!

[@proudlyamerican2764]

125gr 2 blade iron will to send in the 25yd bushy situations should be priority. Yeah i know ethics, he'd be yours not the others so many heart breaking times now though! Honestly with minimal bush that close you'd have him mounted almost for sure.

[@Martin_Chag]

Yeah it wasn’t minimal bush otherwise I would have been launching one

[@NWPURSUIT]

Amazing buck great story thanks for sharing martin

[@brockanderson4419]

Good stuff!

[@joelgraber7862]

Please tell me it wasn’t who I think it was up there again?! Yates?

[@Martin_Chag]

Haha

[@timbarton6611]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Trevor-wm9su]

13 days and counting here in Montana!!

[@FishfearmeStudios]

Wow

[@ryandavis4457]

Who are the tag along hunters that keep trying to snake your deer?!

[@Martin_Chag]

Haha I don’t know for sure that they were trying to here. Just ironic that it was the same hunters as previous hunts

[@mmafreaks4871]

that buck has bumps all over it. weird.

[@kodyhennessy3750]

Buck was bumped one time and disappeared, they don’t get big being dumb that’s for sure.

[@Martin_Chag]

That’s for sure

[@adammenke229]

32 more like it, 40 is click bait

[@Martin_Chag]

His frame is 32 my friend. I’ve held 36 before and he’s wider all day

[@therockymountainway]

Ironic you posted this right after the opener of the 2023 archery hunt. Clearly you saved that footage all year long for something, and you led us to believe that Zeus met his demise this last winter. I’m calling your bluff, you killed that giant sucker last weekend and your next video will be the footage of your kill. Congrats in advance, that is a truly magnificent buck!

[@Martin_Chag]

Haha man I really wish you were right. Thanks anyway though 👍

[@therockymountainway]

@@Martin_Chag Keep it up, I respect your hard work and grit!

[@dustinswartz7540]

Little advice from a older hunter, save your videos until ypu actually close the deal on a buck like this, shut up and hunt him and dont tell anyone.

[@Martin_Chag]

That’s exactly what I did. It’s been over a year now and the buck is dead

[@billyjohn9192]

Oh Zeus, I'll miss handfeeding you at the ranch. Good bye old friend. I miss you.

[@wesshannah-hs3cm]

So where is 40 inxhes wide?

[@Martin_Chag]

If you can’t see he’s pushing 40 you haven’t seen enough mule deer

[@Hollywoodeatsordrinksit]

I know exactly where your hunting and that’s some steep hard ass country man. Kudos to you but ya there is some big bucks up there that’s for sure.

[@Martin_Chag]

There used to be a couple. It’s been wiped out this year from winter

[@Hollywoodeatsordrinksit]

@@Martin_Chagya it was a hard winter that’s for sure. Makes me sad to see. I got a rifle tag this year and I haven’t been up scouting yet but I’m looking too here soon hopefully. I landed a pretty nice buck around that same area a back in 2020. It was hard to say the least. Took him to the taxidermy and that was the last time I seen him. Guy stole it. Pretty low if you ask me. Also stole my bro I laws as well.
