IDAHO - 2022 Mule Deer Hunt

[@Intermtn9736]

Dig your style man, actual fun video to watch without being too serious and crazy on the commercialization of hunting. Just straight good stuff! Well deserved

[@toddharney]

I appreciate that. Try to make it a point to simply share a hunt and not be marketing a product.

[@craigleonardjr]

Honestly, I watch a lot of hunting films/videos, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this. Well done. Great buck!! Thanks for sharing

[@micah5740]

I have never done anything remotely close to this, but I'd give anything to try. Thank you for sharing, that little giggle from that baby melted my heart!!! You're a lucky man!!

[@MuleyFreak]

Awesome buck, enjoyed how you put the adventure together!

[@sgulden6276]

What a dandy buck! Thanks a bunch for taking us along, and thanks for not taking it too seriously,👍

[@toddharney]

‘Too serious’ is a boring way to be, and even more so to watch. Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment!

[@Matt_Tillotson]

“Well it’s about uh, I don’t know” love your senses of humor bro! Well done and congratulations

[@toddharney]

By myself in the middle of nowhere giggling when I came up with that one. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@andymicka9065]

I am so glad this video popped up in my feed. I really appreciate your style of hunting and to pull away from that many bucks takes some serious dedication.

[@toddharney]

Really appreciate that. Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback!

[@nathangarland2081]

I’ve recently found your videos and really enjoyed them. You have a great attitude and super positive approach, refreshing. Terrific hunt in some beautiful country. Thanks for the content.

[@kellyshreeve868]

Great video. Enjoyed watching the whole trip

[@kingdr1300banghtlyf]

I've watched a lot of hunting videos and yours may be the most enjoyable one I've seen. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@toddharney]

Thank you very much!

[@HowToGetToTheThirdHeaven]

Precious memories recorded both for you in older age and your family and many families yet to be born. Great job taping, Todd.

[@toddharney]

Thanks. It's definitely crossed my mind that a hunt recorded like this will be really cool for my boys to enjoy down the road.

[@thehuntboys8402]

Great Video Todd! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Beautiful Idaho buck.

[@dpidaho4245]

Thanks for sharing! Lots of good looking bucks and a beauty that you harvested! Loved the end pulling into the driveway.

[@leepoole7186]

Great video you had me laughing several times I especially liked the public service announcement. Congrats on a great buck loved hearing the bullet impact too.

[@WeNeedChange3310]

Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. That country also looked very familiar due to several years of hunting Idaho throughout the years. I hope to return soon. Nice Buck!!

[@wayneroberts7852]

Awesome buck! Like the positive attitude and not settling!

[@johnecrouch2671]

I really enjoyed this video. Great attitude and great sense of humor.

[@jameshansen8033]

This is one of the better videos I've watched, just because of the freekin gross tuna meal. You know how many times I've gone backpacking or hunting and have eaten crappy gross food? Way more than I want to ever let on. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@lexbairos3676]

Great video! Really enjoyed your video and how excited you were throughout. Congratulations!

[@coyotebrowntrouthunter]

Beautiful buck man! Lots of character! Congrats! Great video too. Good job moving to a different area if you weren't finding the buck you were looking for. Thanks for sharing!

[@briansteele1378]

That spiral fluting on that barrel is pure eye candy

[@guentherjd]

Criaglenardjr nailed it! I also watch a lot of hunting/ fishing videos and this too is one of my favorites. Awesome job filming and editing.

[@toddharney]

That means a lot. I don’t feel like my videography or editing skills are anything special so it’s nice to hear you enjoyed how the hunt was presented in a basic and raw way.

[@livingidoutdoors941]

Heck yeah man, so glad you found a dandy. Glad to see the action. Glad I got to hang with ya for a morning.

[@toddharney]

Much appreciated!

[@darinmorino8943]

What a great video and buck! Especially loved hearing that shot hit- knew it was good just from the sound. Great job! Loved the comedic interludes and the interactions with your boys at the end. ***I drew this unit this year and hoping for some success!!!

[@toddharney]

@@darinmorino8943 Congratulations on the draw. Archery or rifle? Game numbers and quality have looked good in that area this summer, the couple of times I’ve been out there. My only regret on this hunt is that I sure would have liked to been hunting it through October to see what came through with the weather. If you have a good amount of time to hunt and not feel rushed, you should have a great time. Enjoy and best of luck!

[@darinmorino8943]

@@toddharney - I drew rifle. I’m going to try to hunt as much of the month as I can. Hopefully the boss doesn’t get too mad… lol. I haven’t been able to scout yet this year so just doing E-Scouting for now. Hoping for some early weather this year. Thanks for the good luck wishes!

[@garaldfillmore5026]

Great buck, and great vid. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@brianladd1370]

I saw your Kodiak Tent and thought “oh hell yeah he’s got my tent” and then you pack in and pullout what looked like a tarptent and I thought “holy shit he has my other tent”. Cheers tent brother on a solid buck. Those days on the mountain by yourself are some of my favorites of the year.

[@toddharney]

I think we’d get along.

[@JoyceGreens]

Awesome hunt man, thanks for sharing. That was a hell of a shot, great job!

[@seanpaschall8223]

First hunting video I’ve watched that I really enjoyed. We’ll done. Nice buck.

[@Paul-i2s]

Enjoyed your video and the beautiful country you showed. Haven’t got to do a hunt like you experienced before but hope to do so. The outdoor adventure is a awesome experience, the camping , cooking out, then afterwards go home to what matters most 😊👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ryanmoore4572]

Great video man glad you can share a experience that most of us dream of having. Hopefully I can get on one of these hunts some day!

[@jacksonfromm8365]

Really enjoyed the video! Thanks man for the content and congrats on a nice buck.

[@redsmitty748]

Really cool video. Especially thought it was awesome to hear your shot hit the buck. Good work. I agree with above comments on appreciating the more relaxed style.

[@scottburgess696]

Awesome video man! Entertaining and fun to watch, congrats on a great deer!!

[@garyo4456]

So many of our current hunting videos are commercial in nature, Boy Bands seeking yucks and background rock nroll! Nice to see your video….back to the basics! Loved it all!! Great Buck Bro!!

[@toddharney]

Thanks for recognizing that. I wanted to keep it simple and try to make the viewers feel like they were there.

[@aaronkelley7448]

Enjoyed every minute! It takes lots of time and effort to put a video together. Love your style, keep it up!

[@toddharney]

The hard part for me is just getting started. This took 4 evenings once the ball was rolling. Thank you for the support 👍🏻

[@brucerhodes7827]

Great video, I like your dedication towards your goal ! Glad I came across this video, You are hilarious !!

[@stuartrussell981]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. We need more hunters willing to do what you did and ask themselves before shooting a mule deer buck--“Do I really want to shoot this thing? Is it something I’d really be happy with walking up to it?” It’s not about inches, but holding out for a mature animal that you are happy with is so much better for the herd than only shooting to shoot one. Well done!!!

[@toddharney]

Thank you. I've been fortunate to bring home some quality bucks over the years, so it gets easier each season to let deer walk in search of what I'm really looking for. To each their own though. I'll pause my hunt to help someone connect on a smaller deer if it will make them happy.

[@wildfoodoutdoors]

I appreciate the comedic interludes!

[@taylorhobbs1339]

Cute kids. Great to see you bringing the buck home. Looked like a fun hunt

[@brandoncusmc]

That’s awesome seeing your kids reaction. My kids are the same way no matter if I bring home a deer, bear or wild hog

[@toddharney]

It’s the best. Can’t wait until they can join.

[@brandoncusmc]

Great flim, very entertaining, really enjoyed it sir. Congrats on a great buck, love the details in the flim and adding a little comedy to the mix, best of luck on your future hunts.

[@toddharney]

Thank you very much. All the luck to you as well.

[@caicimini2204]

one of the best mule deer hunts i’ve seen on youtube. great video, and congrats on that stomper buck!

[@toddharney]

I sure appreciate that. I just wanted to as raw and real a video as I could. Thanks for watching.

You should have a lot lot more subscribers. Amazing job and rifle!

[@TNsher776]

Congratulations on a super nice buck

[@Astrodrip713]

Glad came across this, love the quality of the video & vibes & amazing mule deer! Haven’t been hunting since I was 12, now 28. This makes me so badly wanna get back out there & do what you do.

[@toddharney]

Get out there!

[@simoneaux15]

Get after it!! I’m 28, just started hunting this year after quitting since I was 12. Started out with spring Turkey season (I’m in FL) and I was hooked!!! Didn’t shoot any, public land in FL is tough but I saw a few. Can’t wait for deer season!!!

[@criticalbo]

Hey man great hunt and great video and of course great buck. Really enjoyed your sense of humor and how you let the hunt happen instead of constantly second guessing yourself. If you could maybe do a video on your rifle and scope setup. It looked really nice the little you showed it. Also your little ones were adorable at the end there. Perfect video id say. Take care man

[@toddharney]

That means a lot, especially coming from a guy named Critical Bo! I've been on enough deer hunts to know that it's only a matter of time if I just keep my effort up. No reason to second guess or get worried during a hunt. You're not the first to ask about the rifle setup, good idea. I'll see if I can get something thrown together.

[@MrWolfman104]

Awesome video and I love the 4K!

[@BMCBryce]

Huge congratulations on an amazing hunt and adventure. To top it all off you took an incredible buck! I watched every second of this video and loved them all. Your sense of humor is very entertaining and similar to my own. After the first minute, I knew I was going to have to subscribe. Well done and congratulations again! Bryce

[@toddharney]

Thank you Bryce. You’d probably like some of the stuff I left out. But it’d be too much for most viewers.

Favorite sound ever. Thanks for checking it out.

Love the sound of the thud after the shot! Great hunt!

[@johnclark-u1d]

I love your video great content it is my first year hunting and I living in southern Idaho do you have any recommendations on where I can go to get a buck and any tips

[@RandyO-gk4ld]

You covered some great country!

[@specforged5651]

Shocking that could happen to such a big heavy duty trailer 😂. Wow! Awesome buck! Great work!

[@toddharney]

Haha! Great point. I’m always breaking something on that chatterbox. Next trailer will be of something more rugged than tin.

Beautiful film and Buck!

[@zinksbigskyarcheryoutdoors5339]

Great video. My favorite part of the video was the end. Great job dad

[@toddharney]

My favorite part as well. Thank you.

[@lukerossgriffiths23]

Todd you are one of a kind

[@timbjork2098]

loved the video i'm heading out to idaho with a wheeler in 2 weeks, any pointers like what should I be looking for in a area that "should" hold a buck and any stratagies to how far to wheeler i should be away from a area i consider a possible good glassing spot. or can I basically drive the wheeler as close as I can to my glassing spot. first time with a wheeler and rifle, all the other year its been back pack bow and elk for a week.

[@toddharney]

Don’t spend too much time on the wheeler. Use your legs and eyes more. If you’re glassing from a spot you can drive to, be looking at country far away that can’t be driven to. All depends on what kind of a buck you’re looking for though. Better odds for bigger deer further from the roads of course.

[@LafeCody]

I’m from Idaho and I recently shot my first elk in unit 40 what unit did you hunt in. Also love the vids keep em coming

[@__KyleBlack]

Great video! Already looking forward to what you find next year.

[@toddharney]

You and me both. Thanks for checking it out.

[@JosiahB-u4x]

What tripod are you using? Also, great video 👍

[@toddharney]

@@JosiahB-u4x At the time I was on my 11th season as far as I can recall with my Slik 624. Last year I upgraded to a new Tricer BC. Overall I like the Tricer better but it’s not perfect.

[@MikeChavez-ou6bv]

Congratulations on a great buck! I really enjoyed your video and the especially your kids reaction when you got home. Have hunted the South Hills off and on for over 30 years and I never get tired of the area. Is that where you were hunting? A couple of the roads looked familiar but you never know....LOL.

Great buck! Can you tell me what tent you’re using?

[@toddharney]

The base camp tent is a Kodiak Canvas, my backpacking tent is a TarpTent Doible Rainbow Li. Thank you for watching.

[@dederonair]

that was enjoyable to watch, and great deer!

[@blaynemacpherson8519]

How far was he? What were you using for rifle and caliber/ bullet etc? You should get a gun boot for when you backpack protect the rifle. Your trailer you haul your quad with is light enough if you are not truly mudding or going through really bad terrain to put on the back of your quad as a quad trailer. Good show love the family time at the end.

[@toddharney]

602 yards, AllTerra Arms Mountain Shadow Steel in 300 Sherman Short. 208 grain ELDM bullet. That rifle is now 7 shots for 7 bucks down in the field.

Super cool to watch your hunt. We had talked briefly at a gas station you had stopped at.

Yes, it wasn’t to bad. We were lucky enough to have 3 buck tags a 2 cow elk tags in that unit. We were able to harvest 2 good bucks and 1 okay and a cow elk. Thanks to you we were able to get 2 deer and 1 elk by the pin. Thanks man.
