I really appreciate how you guys keep it real... Showing the bad days and the good days. If we just want to watch huge bucks getting killed every video, that won't match what any of us experience while hunting. We don't need hunting porn. We need real life, and you guys deliver that. I learn so much from hearing you guys talking about strategy, why you're trying what you're trying, and obviously it doesn't always pan out. But I feel like I can accelerate my learning by watching your channel. And watching one of the guys miss a 10 point on this PLC series made me feel a lot better. I hit a branch the other day and missed a doe I was shooting at. Also called in another doe that spooked when my stand made a noise, because it didn't see a deer where it thought there would be one. I used to feel like a failure every time a deer would blow at me or get my wind. But after watching you guys I realize it's just a part of hunting. I do careful scent control, but the wind doesn't always cooperate. Thanks for keeping it real, all of you!! I love watching your channel!!

[@drewnight3944]

Dan stared that buck in the eye at 10 yards…he won’t leave till it’s dead

[@kingpingpongpow]

Pretty humble not to tell that concerned lady to check out their KZbin page. I appreciate some humility in this life.

[@jeffsharp2981]

The “concerned lady” seemed more interested in calling the cops thinking our boys were up to no good….But Aaron, always a gentleman handled it very well…

[@BarrentineOutdoors]

I’m ready to see the whole THP crew hunt together. Haven’t seen y’all all together this season yet. I know y’all are spread out hunting public land all over the place, but be nice to see the gang back together. Keep up the awesome hunting content guys! Favorite channel on KZbin by far! 👍🏼

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Same I want Zach and Aaron Greg and Jake and so on they always ask what we want lol tgats what I want

[@ChasingGreen]

Agreed, those were always my favorite

Zach is leaving THP

[@chaddewitt2836]

@@jimmydabutler9022 Did he say this ?

[@dathangarfield379]

Me too. It doesn't feel like it used to. Part of the draw was always the brother like relationship they had.

[@ronrobison2847]

Thanks for putting out your videos, I’m a 68 year old guy that has two bad ankles and can barely walk. I used to love to deer hunt and scout. Now you guy’s are keeping it alive for an old guy. Love it.

[@THECOUNTRYNINJA]

I dare you guys to come to Florida lol. That’d be a whole different kinda challenge.

[@lucasmustang66]

This hunting group is just what I like . Everyday guys trying their hardest. So respected to not be hunting farmed deer and high fence . I highly respect that .

[@DougV2014]

The PLC Indiana series has been your best content of the season so far. Really enjoyed it, keep up the good work.

[@Shaggy1221]

It's the only death we have seen on public 🤣

[@TruffulaSteve]

Huge fan of all those guys, but I just love the Untamed guys. I wanna be huntin buddies with Josh so bad lol. Dude just seems good as gold and would keep me in stitches.

[@shane31wells]

I was thinking the same thing man. He is definitely a good ol boy lol

[@Shooter308]

It would have been great for you guys to get a few more deer , but I think that a bunch of friends getting together too hunt is as good as it gets . Memories made for a lifetime . And what makes it just a little better is you guys shared it with us . Thanks for sharing .

[@stevenhuettner9190]

Doing some serious Ninja moves when working those rattling horns..

[@forthrightnight]

"It was a calamity." Big guffaw on that one, was not expecting that word. A beautiful sounding, understated word, that speaks volumes. Now I'm just waiting to slip that little beauty into a casual conversation and see the reaction. I bet I'll get a laugh too.

[@joshuacummins3220]

Truly enjoy the public land challenge. The best hunts I have ever had in my life are new area hunts for a week or longer. Learning new areas is definitely a challenge! Would be awesome to do a drawing for one person and a guest to come on the public land challenge with all you all in 2022.

[@charlesshepherd9132]

You all keeping it real and showing the successes, the failures, and the trials of real hunting is what keeps me pushing on through a tough season myself. Your channel has helped me to really learn to enjoy the hunt and not just the kill. Keep it up.

[@colbykinney5633]

I've been having a rough season also, could turn around any minute though. Good luck out there buddy.

[@rickstark85]

Yeah, I'm actually about to unsubscribe. I have enough of my own failures. I don't need to spend 30 minutes of my time watching others fail, too. Unsubbed.

[@weirdmood8102]

@@rickstark85 this is a HUNTING channel, Buddy, not a KILLING channel. We all have our ups and downs, sometimes that's days and sometimes it's seasons; Welcome to hunting..... it's a sure enough roller coaster. It tends to bring us the highest of highs , as well as some lows, But it always brings us something.... Such as life. I guess I can appreciate these guys not padding us with a bunch of bullshit. They're showing us their real experience and I can appreciate that. To each their own. Hope your season takes a turn for you, Bud. Best of luck.

[@rickstark85]

@@weirdmood8102 I was kidding, bro. This is one of my favorite channels. Just a little trolling, my friend.

[@weirdmood8102]

@@rickstark85 ahh right on. Sarcasm and such is so easily lost in translation on the internet 😆. I just know how fucking frustrating hunting can be, So I could easily see where your stance would have been coming from. Hope you catch your target buck slipping, Buddy!

[@bjmgolf3651]

Thanks to everyone for putting on the challenge! Truly enjoy watching the footage and strategy used by each group. Best line from this video was Dan imitating the “Terminator Deer” ! Keep it up guys, quite a few solid days remaining.

[@midwestoutdoors3850]

I would say any deer down on public is a success. Keep up the good work

[@mrzjohnson4]

I agree. And any deer with a bow is a hell of an accomplishment, traditional or compound.

[@robbietuned]

Zach could probably get a good THP sponsorship with head and shoulders like all of the football players.

[@abeyoder2631]

Bill, Lee, Tiffany, Stan, Mark, Terry, Waddell, etc, etc, etc, don't even hold a candle to you guys. Plus, they're hunting farmed, half domestic animals like all the big-hat people in Ohio. Thanks for REAL content. It's the greatest.

[@mikeguy9668]

Warb looked plum tuckered out there at the end lol. God bless all you boys

[@north6481]

Love the rattling dance

[@FoxtrotHunting]

Solid trip guys! Enjoyed it start to finish. A few more days and a couple more deer would be down! Good luck the rest of the season

[@michaelzimmerman7646]

I always have said"this is why it is called hunting"!! I think y'all have done a great job of it! It's the "almost" that keeps us interested and getting up to go out again! I have thoroughly enjoyed each episode,and have learned more! Thanks so much for your commitment! God bless!

[@Gumby1985]

As an indiana native. I have been anticipating this for years. I'm glad you made it to Indiana and I'm very humbled to know everyone struggled. We have a lot of big deer on public land and the terrain makes them very difficult to hunt. Great public land challenge! Would love to see you guys give it another whack. Secondary ridges during the day and drainage ditches in the evening.

[@russelbrown240]

Hope Dan lets us know how the rest of his hunt goes! Good luck to everyone!

[@thomasanderson1783]

As an Indiana guy myself, you guys did great. Private has become so much more popular here. Illinois on the left and Ohio on the right! Hoosier national has lots of ground. Hope you guys come back! You know there are biggins now!

[@SatoHunt]

Cudos to y'all. I hunted hard this week and came out empty handed. Watching this made me feel better. It's just a part of hunting sometime. Good luck to y'all the rest of this season

[@sidogg4113]

Always enjoy the PLC! It’s the series i most look forward to!

[@craigmilne2792]

Enjoy watching the PLC! A real challenge. Please keep doing it!

[@strydershadow391]

Great series of hunts.

[@rodneykimberlyhenry5056]

Great public land contest. That's why it's called hunting not killing. Can't wait till the next episode.

[@begvannihernandez4229]

I LOVE watching this challenge series !!! Really puts things into perspective for me

[@colehess2124]

Perry county Indiana is probably one of the hardest places to hunt between the swirling winds low deer numbers and it seems that every deer knows where the humans are at all times. I’ve been hunting here my entire life and its been a battle every year. Glad you enjoyed the area hope to see you back

[@cw2gsp]

Love that you did the PLC during the rut. I’m sure you guys were aiming for good content and you got it.

[@jayrobertson232]

Very polite & professional with Karen…. Good job!

[@taylorhowser6467]

tbh I think what she did was great. Road hunters are assholes and get what is coming to them but she did come across kinda like a Karen when she said "can I help you" like she wasn't the person who pulled up to them lol

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

You gotta love those Indi!na bucks. I hunt near North. Vernon.

[@Bizznichw]

Great series!

That last sequence was pretty intense! Great job guys. No buck in truck, but it was a cool hunt

Always enjoy your videos and the PLC brings some very knowledgeable people together to give us as much advice as we can absorb. Great group of guys right there and you all are a blast. Be safe fellas.

I love how the woman pulls up acting like a Police Officer…When she pulled up and asked if she could help me I’d said nope and rolled my window up.

Yeah she needs to mind her own business

She was just making sure people weren't shooting from the road. People do that all the time around Southern Indiana. Her property her business.

Thank you. It was fun. Hope for some success on the next one!

[@sdichampion]

I'm in NW INDIANA and have 2 more days of my rutcation left. Hanging up the bow and taking the smoke stick out this weekend. Love being in the woods but it still feels like a waste of time when you come up empty handed. Glad to see the "real" pros share in the struggle 👍 if all else fails I'm taking the rifle to Wisconsin Nov 26-27. Love the content as usual Gentlemen.

[@rickpullins8590]

Saw that temperature in the opening, that got me excited.

[@realbryansprouse]

This challenge looks like it would be a great time. I’ve never hunted public or hunted outside of VA at all but hope to someday have an opportunity to do something like this with a good group of guys like yourselves. Love these, keep it up 🤟🏼

[@bigcole9832]

I'm from indiana and it's always a tough hunt you boys did a good job..and its refreshing to watch your hunts,other videos they seem to always tag out..and this is more realistic..

[@realrussclarke]

It was great watching the challenge!

[@KS-ud8pg]

So, after watching this series of videos I don't feel as bad now as I went 12 sits and saw one deer from mid October thru first week of November. Luckily I got last minute permission on some private land locally and saw 2 bucks first evening of which the shooter did not come close enough. Next morning I saw a lone doe and later a group of 8 or 9 does but no buck. I have permission for a few more days and hope to get a chance at a shooter. Love these videos that show what the real world public land hunting is.

Great Video

Aarons doing the public breakdance challenge lol

[@scotthall9525]

I sure loved seeing the the team hold the challenge in my home state this year, I feel bad everybody didn't tag out and actually very surprised because I've hunted state land for over 40 years and I've taken alot of nice deer. The advantages as a local here i think is I get more scouting time but in all my years the one thing I do you didn't do is when I find deer during the rut I stay in that area for at least three or four days before I move because if their in that spot today there will be either different deer or the same deer come back to that spot in the next day or two . I think all that moving from aera to aera you were always just a step or two too late I bet if Dan stays in one core aera for three straight days he'll take a nice mature buck. I hope we get updated rather Dan got a deer after everyone left

[@awsp002]

Nice job guys
