Wowsa 👀 Hi I'm not a hunter . I really love watching all this!❤💚💜💙🇺🇸 Caught 28.5 pound Albacore Tuna... 90 miles out 🇲🇽 San Diego. That's a big rush & very hard to pull. (Had no gear hold my pole) was so fun. I'm 64 now that was 1977. ❤💚💜💙💛💟Love your hunting! Thanks for taking time to film & show me. Aaron💜🇺🇸 Plus your videos are very easy nice no blasting music killing the ambience! Thanks❤Had fun. I watch HowToHunt BC and Night Crew Tx very cool too! Glad I found you people!💟 Suze in Reno

[@NortheastHunting]

Wow, surprised none of those coyotes stumbled across it that night! Congrats man. Great buck.

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

That is a stud of a deer awesome makes me wish it was October and November already

[@pmaloney666]

awesome hunt!! did you all hear that Tom at 1:03? Spring fever is upon us.

[@jaystrongbow9435]

I'm happy the coyotes didn't find him. There are so many in my State, you just can't let them lie overnight, that option is gone. Its made me a better hunter, as I just cant shoot those questionable angles. Still, when mistakes happen (and they do), it just horn soup you have left to eat in the morning, as the coyotes rarely miss a wounded or dead deer lying overnight. Nice buck, I liked your setup, way to go after him !!

[@BenDownTooLong]

"horn soup"? Explain

[@jaystrongbow9435]

@@BenDownTooLong all that's left is the antlers after the coyotes eat the deer. So all you can do is boil the antlers for soup. It's a joke kid.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

I appreciate you guys working so hard to have extra turkey hunting vids! That’s really cool! Congratulations Josh! Awesome self filming job!

[@matthewcrosby7146]

Good call backing out. Would only take that shot the way he did when the deer was not at all on alert. I made the mistake of taking it on an alert deer at 25 yards. Deer spun at the shot, and my broad head cut from ribs to the rear ball socket without hitting anything vital. Saw deer crippled badly and emaciated 4 weeks later and was able to put down but made me feel AWEFUL and vow to never take another shot of that kind on an alert deer. Love this channel!

[@lastbreathtv4332]

That buck had some MASS! Congratulations guys!

[@michaelbruns3870]

Great hunt but I'm more excited for the turkey videos to start rolling in!

[@4joutdoors]

Great buck! Wise decision to back out and not to push him. Take good note of where he chose to bed and use that for years to come. Relax a little on the camera zoom, but great idea to check the water on a gut shot, seems to be their go-to. Can’t wait to see your stuff in the future

[@nathancoombs7189]

Awesome hunt I'm glad he got to recover the buck before the coyotes did... Looking forward to the next one

Not a great shot you were lucky bud would have been a bad death if coyotes had picked up his scent. You had plenty of time to centre the shot take care. Stuart Palmer Adelaide Sth Australia

[@myrtlepalmetto5141]

One of the things I like most about you guys, is how ethical you seem to be with clean kills. I can’t help but wonder if shots are rushed because there’s so much concentration on where the camera is aimed on solo filmed hunts?

[@randallharmsen5802]

That is a nice buck. Feel lucky you found it not ate up from Coyotes! Nice job on backing out afterwards. Sweet recovery feels awesome. This doesn’t happen all the time! Nice video guys.

[@shannonblane]

Congrats Josh. I would like to see more of ;your hunts in the future. Always exciting watching the Kansas boys.

[@TheK2008]

Nice buck! Good work. Now ditch those twizzlers and flappers and get some "Adult" arrows so you don't have to worry about those shoulder blades.

[@ethanhall214]

What are you suggesting

[@TheK2008]

Check out the Ranch Fairy on you tube. Ashby reports on shooting heavier arrows for better penatration. Ashbybowhunting.org

[@MoldAdvice1]

@@TheK2008 penetration was not the issue, the shot was. I do agree with Ashby and your idea on heavier setup, but that camera can mess you up just to get on youtube..Glade he found him..

[@TheK2008]

@@MoldAdvice1 Agreed. Glad he found him. My thought was he held back a little farther because he didnt wanna bounce off the shoulder blade. If he was running a heavier set up he may have tried to squeeze it in a little tighter knowing he wouldn't bounce off. But it's hunting. The world of wish I would of...........

[@PrivilegedBowhunter]

How do you know his set up isn't heavy?

[@tdelperdang2795]

"A hurt deer aint going to climb those hills", I would disagree on that, I hunt/live in Kansas and they most def will go up those goats hills after being shot, seen it multiple times. All in all good video though.

[@lukes3829]

same i live in north east kansas

[@Jay_nicola]

I’ve had it happen hit a deer in the leg once . The deer went for 2 miles before someone else shot it . Went up hill , was finding pieces of bone and everything. Anyways they’re amazingly tough animals

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Congratulations Josh! Beautiful Buck. Always enjoy the Kansas vids! Well played on backing out, AND the coydogs didn't find him=win-win.

[@season2seasonoutdoors372]

So pumped for the turkey videos

[@pfunk5259]

Is it just me or do Josh and you THP boys think there was some arrow deflection at impact? Sure looked to me like the fletchings jump left a bit telling me the arrow deflected rearward some. Big reason why I would advocate for leaving that mechanical broadhead behind next time. It only makes that shot angle harder to pull off.

[@AERIALASSAULT1]

I'll see you guys again in Iowa! Nashville was fun. Great to meet yall! I'll be in the Out On A Limb booth again. Hope to get free long enough for a seminar! Keep up the great work

[@donniewillis2926]

Just wondering if the meat would still be good? Beautiful deer and the right choice on backing out.

[@chattahoocheeoutdoorsman4865]

Nothing wrong with that shot angle! He just happened to make a bad shot, and that happens from time to time. Looks like the deer kept moving slightly. Had he stopped, I believe he would have had better placement into the lungs.

Worrying about that Camera and getting the footage caused that bad shot. The Ethical Shot should always be more important then getting footage. The Deer deserve it. Glad you found it.

[@JWZelch]

“That camera” is kinda the whole point. There is no THP without “that camera”. Yes, it’s a lot more difficult to self-film, but that is just part of the deal when someone is FILMING THEIR HUNT.

[@billbriscoe9414]

@@JWZelch You can troll my comment all you want but the fact is "An ethical shot should be the most important thing when hunting regardless of if the Camera is on or not! THP even knows this! THP even liked my comment because they KNOW this is true! Always has to be one ass huh? You go on and self film and do poor shots. I imagine that is exactly how you hunt by you're remark. Me? I'll stick to ethical shots. I have watched Greg with THP self film and pass on shots because he felt it would of resulted badly. This was not the case here. Stay on the Couch and troll if you feel "its all good" to be unethical and stupid.

[@JWZelch]

Bill Briscoe Somebody’s always gotta resort to namecalling, huh? You don’t know a damn thing about me. I simply pointed out that the footage is as important as the kill. In truth, it is more important, as the guys have said and done many times when they pass on good shots that aren’t in the frame. I’m really a pretty nice guy, and I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m not debating that the shot wasn’t good. I’m just pointing out the necessity of the camera.

[@billbriscoe9414]

@@JWZelch Everyone knows about you as you are putting it all here. Especially when you say "The footage is as important as the kill!" An ethical shot is MOST important. The Animals deserve that much anyhow. Also brother, a Camera is not a necessity of hunting at all. Its a choice to film if you want to. THP does a damn good job for the most part. I just stated this was poor Judgement, The Young Man was trying to adjust the camera and rushed the shot resulting in a bad shot. That is FACT! You trolled me, remember? Could not just scroll on by. Disagree, yes but make statements like you did? Not when they put Camera footage above being ethical.

Looks like the twizzler and flapper. Did the trick.

[@kelvin0689]

Yep, mortally wounded him. Slow painful death. I'd rather aim for the shoulder at that quartering-to angle knowing my setup can blow right through and make an ethical kill.

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Congrats on a great buck and nice job on the recovery. Probably should have waited for broadside or quartering away shot...maybe you were trying to get shot on film and this took poorer shot.

[@gant8408]

[@ryans9029]

I have to ask.. Why is he using the crossbow red blade retainer for the hypo?? Either he's using a very light arrow and needs the red ring to keep it closed, or he's using a proper adult arrow, and is using the red ring out of misunderstanding.... Not good either way. Use a 550 plus grain arrow minimum with the hypo, preferably heavier than that, and with a standard black retainer ring. No reason to introduce more energy loss with a crossbow retainer ring. They are incredibly hard for the blades to deploy....

[@ryans9029]

You can see that the tabs are folded back, and not broken clean off... A sign that the blades opened slower than optimal.

[@rickabbott4016]

Agreed if you stop at the 10:39 mark it looks like the blades are still locked in the retainer. He’s fortunate for sure to have recovered that deer.

[@ryans9029]

@@rickabbott4016 it opened. The blades like to return to that closed position much of the time... But unnecessarily using those red retainers is asking for issues, especially on a soft tissue hit like straight gut. They have a better chance of working on a tough muscle/rib cage hit. But still not great odds.
