Late Season BOW Hunting in CRAZY WEATHER! - Spot and Stalk Mule Deer Hunting

[@playa1424]

Zach's attitude is unmatched he never stops pushing gotta love to see it pay off for the wild man.

[@doncook3584]

Loved his thinking don’t want to set 4 hours in blizzard and have the buck get up and walk away. Takes balls to circle around and come in from above shooting down hill

[@MooseKnuckle8]

Dudes one of a kind!

[@proudlyamerican2764]

Never or I've never seen him show a chink in glass half full! Commendable for sure!

[@whisperingoutdoors]

​@MooseKnuckle8 yes sir!

The 3 P's of bow hunting. Practice, Patience, and Persintance

[@rylanrussell1514]

Coles camera work in this was amazing! Congrats Zach!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

He did a great job! That's about as tough as it gets as the cameraman and he nailed it!

[@PennsylvaniaSasquatch]

Yeah, I was going to say that was the best hunting video that I have ever seen. It just doesn't get any better than that!

[@lovetogun3611]

Awesome! I agree. Zach and his enthusiasm when everything is going wrong and struggling inspires me to keep my head up in those times and keep striving. Great hunt!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveM1341]

Congrats Zach, what a ride. If a trophy is measured by the amount of effort it takes to be successful, and in my opinion that's the most important criteria, that buck is a well deserved trophy. So good to see it all come together for ya!

[@NickPanagos-yu3gv]

You guys always amaze us every year!! I don’t know how you all have came together but the thing I love about the channel the most is the friendship you guys have together. The best hunting channel on You Tube!!

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Hundred percent. These guys , to me , are the best example of what I think hunting is and should be. Awesome stuff.

[@robertnoel2363]

As much as I enjoy all The Hunting Public hosts, Zach takes the cake for me. He just never gives up, always positive. I could have a watch this content all day long. You all do an amazing job sharing insight, tips and theories. unrivalled class from this channel all around. Congrats on the nice buck!

[@Pigpen1202]

I haven’t been able to hunt because of a broken hip so I am super happy I have THP and CATMAN. Congratulations 🎉🎉

[@tonymendoza7485]

I've said it before not to be redundant but you kids are great hunters I don't hunt muleys anymore but have a couple of 170 class with my rifle but with a bow 🏹 is really hard .people don't realize how hard that shot you pulled off is great buck great stalk congrats I'm 55 and you kids teach me stuff always .Great stuff!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Tony! That means a lot!

[@matts9366]

Zach always putting in relentless work and pursuit I love it. Unbelievable shot, I was watching your bow shake thinking how the hell does he pull this off! THP been my favorite show for years another epic season for the crew. Merry Christmas THP!

[@doingthingscheap7911]

I love when Zach gets a deer. He’s authentic!

[@wadehicks9270]

Zack is one great hunter, it’s amazing to watch his techniques and to be able to get a hit under those conditions very cool…

[@perrymerkes7693]

Definition of Zach ,,,,, Tenacity and perseverance. No need to say more. Great share.

[@tuskylax]

The wind. The snow. Elevated. The stuff that makes Zach a legend! Love his style of hunting!

[@mikehoont9025]

Legend?

[@tommyweeks8289]

Congratulations Zach, awesome video! I was cold just watching you guys endure that weather.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks! It was pretty wicked up there but luckily once we were close I stayed pretty warm from the adrenaline!

[@stevebailey3089]

Zach is contagious ! No matter how hard it gets he's always upbeat and never gives up. Ya gotta love that guy.

[@jaycroyle8761]

Way to go Zach and Cole, man, you boys earned that one, Congrats!!

[@LeighJohnson-ny5tn]

I love THP for a lot of reasons; your attitudes are great, your adventures are crazy, the filming takes us right there with you, you just keep pushing through, and I personally appreciate that I can watch your videos without having to listen to vulgar talk. You guys are a complete riot and we just want more! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@maj3stikq122]

CONGRATULATIONS Zach!!!! Dude it’s unreal you shot that buck with the wind like it was! Thats badass! Mule deer is a dream hunt and you guys have taught me a lot on how to hunt them! Thank you!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks for watching! Glad we have got to share our experiences of how to mess it up a lot with you haha!

[@chadjohnson86]

Best video of the deer tour this year in my opinion. Great hunt and phenomenal camera work given the conditions. Great job guys!!

[@mountainstatetradjournal]

Zach's gotta be my favorite out of the crew. Never stops, never negative, and a straight killer. How we all should strive to be! Enjoy yourself out there! Would love to chase some Muley's with my Longbow one day.

[@hiddenapproach]

Your style of hunting is unmatched. I love people who live for things that don’t come easy. You definitely earned it! Thanks for another great one Zach! Great film work as well

[@slikkwell]

Zach's stalks are always awesome!

[@freddierowland2683]

Rock Star hunting guys!!!! Congrats Zack and Cole. Mega endurance boys!!!!!

[@jasonspeakman15061]

Been wondering where you have been hiding. Glad to see your recovery went good and hopefully more Zach videos to come

[@ML-ks2lj]

Recovery from what? Lime?

[@trevorfuray1317]

Zach tore his ACL and had to have surgery.

[@bds626]

Glad to see you back at it after the injury man the show isn't the same without you.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

I am glad to be back after the injury too. This buck helped me feel like I am finally getting over the hump of the recovery. I am still not quite back to 100% but getting a little closer all the time! Thanks for watching!

[@christopherkrog6367]

Way to go Zach!!! Great shot and great hunt you guys rock good to see you got one down finally. Great stuff as usual thanks for letting us be there with you guys

[@patrickosier3644]

Zach the ultimate bow hunting hype man. You cant keep that guy down. Great ambassador fir the hunting world.

[@brianbartos4144]

Zach - To say you earned that one is the understatement of the year. You kept an amazing attitude up despite the many disappointments, and you're an inspiration to me as to what hunting should be all about - counting the blessings, savoring the adrenaline, failing gracefully, and also winning with pride! That you learned this all at a young age is astounding; there's no telling how far you'll go in the great adventure we call life. Keep it up, brutha!!! Edit: don't mean to leave you out, Cole, you're a trooper bro, and a heck of a cameraman!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Brian!

[@samivey8416]

Now that is the hunt that will always keep you coming back for more!

[@jimfunk9992]

Zach’s living the dream we wish we were all living along with the rest of the thp crew. Keep up the amazing work. You guys give life to the rest of us that we can keep Pushing ourselves through the challenges we face. Love it.

[@mikeb6555]

THP does NOT disappoint! Epic hunt! A suggestion... when you put your freshly vacuum-sealed packages in the freezer, lay them flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Single layer. Stuff freezes faster, less cellular rupture from ice "needles" forming in the meat. Thanks guys!

[@chopperchopper1418]

Epic struggle through snacks, coffee, stamina, soak n wetsuits. Solar hairdryer. Notice the trailing 3 year old with sipi cup , never !😊😮😅

Really captured the intensity of the hunt.

This was great work in the editing room. I really appreciated the back and forth views and it was easy and brought the intensity of the hunt. Great work boys. You make it look easy at the same time I appreciate the 5-6day or the 3 year struggle. Great work on editing and Zach congrats on the finish...well earned!!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks! Compliments on the editing mean a lot! There is more time and effort into that than most of the hunts!

Gotta love midwest weather, great job guys, those are the best days for mule deer hunting honestly, if you can tolerate it

[@TheHuntingPublic]

It certainly seemed to make it easier to get close than some of the other stalks we had been on. It also helped that he was alone and up on his feet feeding. He was totally distracted the whole time.
