Bow Hunting the Rut | On the Hunt with Janis Putelis

Janis Putelis heads back to his family’s Wisconsin farm for the whitetail rut. He’s seen some tough hunting in past years, but this season, a cold front’s pushing through the Upper Midwest, and the bucks are on the move, rutting hard. Janis sticks it out in his saddle all week long, braving the cold. After a long stretch of action-packed days, he finally gets his shot at a solid buck.

@26:22 you hit a limb.. looks like the arrow deflected left.

[@dougger81]

i saw that too

[@michaelboschen3703]

Came here to say the same

[@Roadrunner2574]

yea definitely hit the branch! tough shooting lanes

[@SizzlordTheExiled]

Yea as soon as I saw the arrow stick in rather than punch through I knew it was bad

[@tjp-re4du]

slow down cowboy. i KNOW your a world class bowman, but how could such a small branch being tapped by a VERY powerful arrow, deflect the arrow to the left? IF deflected wouldn't it have gone to the right??

[@robertbauters]

Tough break. The confirmation at the end was awesome to see. Just insane how strong these bucks are.

[@doublelunger1978]

Didn't expect a guest appearance from Michael Waddell's accent around 14 minute mark. 😅

[@thehuntingpassion2604]

100% hit a limb clearly on the slow replay. Can’t believe that Buck survived though wow! These critters are tough. Great job on the video

[@jivarie]

Enjoyed it. Crazy how that's not a fatal shot ultimately and the deer showed all winter.

[@Whopperjunior69]

Janis is the best, hopefully we get more November hunts in the treestand from you!

[@The_averagebowhunter]

Can’t tell if the accent was a Matthew Mcconaughey impression or Clay is just rubbing off on him that much.

[@gbpackers5578]

Always LOVE the Janis hunting vids…some of my very fave content here! Cheers! ❤👏🍻

[@andrewtucker2434]

Why does Janis sound like an actor portraying a midwestern hunter during the first half of the video on his close up shots? Like he spent a few days with Clay and Brent beforehand and adopted an accent for the stand.

[@millievenillie]

I wait all year for this video!! I did the same thing last year on a nice buck he also turned up on trail camera after a week. Keep hunting and keep the deer videos coming. Good job Janis.

[@callmecamo2]

I love how the top comment always gives away the ending.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

My goodness Janis. You have just NOT timed it well weather wise! Sorry man. Don't apologize for passing bucks. You're on your own property -- do what you want, shoot what you want, and as you said, which was spot on, shoot something that makes YOU excited

[@jigsawpulse1139]

You hit a branch and your arrow turned

[@dhprojects3296]

probably slowed it down enough to not be fatal too

[@gabehesington5976]

My dad owns Tickle’s older brother! We’ve been blood tracking for 10 years with a bunch of different dogs. Hanoverian hounds are the best. Nice to see this in the video!

[@FrontierOutdoorsman]

Getting a little stir crazy. Haha. Ol' Eagle is getting southern. Soon, he'll be saying "A-kerns".

[@paulbernitt4280]

It looks like you were hunting my neck of the woods in SW, WI. The shot was forward in front of the front shoulder bone and went into the neck muscle. I'm not a big fan of shooting quartering to deer with a bow. Been there done that. Definitely does not feel good, but it is inevitable with archery equipment. What appeared to be a bigger buck that walked under your stand gave you a lot of opportunity to take a quality shot.

[@The_averagebowhunter]

Aside from the unfortunate ending, this is probably my favorite Janis on the hunt episode. Need more whitetail content from Janis.

[@tjp-re4du]

your a GOOD man Janis. I am NOT a hunter, but like YOU i love animals, so i know that pained you. God Bless You.

[@RomeoSierraRS]

Yani, i had full confidence in your plan B heavy arrow build. if it had not been deflected i think you were good to go. Glad the Buck survived for round 2, maybe you see him this season.

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

That really sucks brother, it actually sounded like it hit bone, tough break and shit happens

[@SB_Outdoorz]

This year was only my second season archery hunting and hunting in general. This season was way better than last! I tagged out a mule deer buck and 1 whitetail doe so far. Still have another whitetail and cow/calf elk tag to fill! I'm definitely hooked after this season!

[@Mckinney129]

Well Janis after taking giant heaping doses of the fairy dust and shooting my last two bucks a little too far forward from now on my shots are going to be back towards the crease and I’m gonna take a little bit more time in assessing where that arrows gonna come out. Goodluck with the rest of your season! I feel your pain brother

[@heyjoevideo]

Great film. Thanks for taking the time to take us with you.

[@bryanwallman3375]

The limb redirected the arrow down and forward otherwise would have been a kill shot

[@AaronPineyTree]

Janis turns into Jim Varney @ 14:00. Love it

[@johnsamuels4038]

Lol ! The comments are coming back again.

[@GaronClark]

What camera is Janis using looks like a nice slim set up?

[@jamesbender1967]

How can you analyze the shot and footage repeatedly and NOT MENTION the OBVIOUS DEFLECTION from hitting a limb!? WTF!? It happens. It’s bow hunting. That last buck you saw was a nice one!

[@alaskatrapper104]

Thank you Janis, this was a good watch!

[@underdogoutdoors]

Happens to everyone eventually!

[@kdkulhanek]

You the man Janis, keep that head up high sir

[@Treeplanter73]

Wisconsin is beautiful in the fall!

[@nicholaseedy3244]

We shall await the sequel.

[@TrumpTheImmortal]

Love the Stormy Kromer.

[@tompearce3987]

16:00 was a deffo play on clay 😂

[@noboy345]

Can't wait to get in the stand!!!!

[@paulopimentel2523]
