"that might have fallen out of the corn tree" lol

[@Rubo7]

backwoods guy I know that was so funny. 😂😂😂

[@tgmunplugged4327]

Hilarious!!!

[@teenelomz9402]

best part is, he said it without hesitation, and sounded totally serious.

[@mikemort2438]

@@teenelomz9402 thats what made it so funny! No hesitation at all.

[@seedsandarrowsfrontier9224]

Hilarious!!

[@colebarnett199]

There’s a lot to unpack here that I’m sure they were just too exhausted to discuss. 2 hours to find a completely new spot, set up all over again, and still scored. The Beasty Boys and THP are proving they are on another level in regards to deer hunting. This is the next step in a hunter’s evolution. Taking brand new territory, that you will likely never see again, breaking it down instantaneously, and coming out with tags filled...and with a time limit no less. Most of us, my self included, are successful because of the amount of time we spend preparing and strategizing, but these guys are reacting to things in the moment based on instinct and prior knowledge of other hunts in similar terrain. If there are more skilled hunters out there than these boys, I highly doubt they are this informative and entertaining.

[@treggliebler6237]

Well done guys, hunted in Michigan for over 20 years. They are so over pressured anymore that you almost have to go farther than anyone else is willing or able to go. Great job.

[@michiganroots9179]

Come to Michigan to hunt and get free donuts delivered to you in the woods!! That’s hospitality👍

[@ncoutdoors2620]

The best part about this is how excited Ted and Zach are about seeing those bucks.... Not about the kill... True sportsmen

[@kingfisherfd2]

Whoa. Joe and Jake made good team decisions. Ted was in a game of inches on a monster.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

That's exactly right. Jake's advise was great and I give Joe props for listening to him. A true total team effort.

[@mlanger1989]

Who else has been refreshing their sub list for the last few hours?

[@adamw8299]

18:30 I was looking at the other deer n then just saw the arrow fly somewhere else and was like wtf is he shooting at 😂

[@flatlanderoutdoors2549]

Who needs camo when you’re a stone cold killer, congrats Joe! 👍

[@lucasmustang66]

My gosh i love the deer fever this kid has !!!! His breathing is suspenseful!!! Loves to hunt !!!!

[@Bradm027]

there's no faking that.. TV gold.

[@zacharyadams6277]

Joe has made it happen two challenges in a row. Killin em

[@brandonramsey8049]

Dan and Joe have an amazing attitude and friendship! Feel like you are in your own deer camp with guys you have been hunting with for 30 years. That is a lot of the enjoyment of watching them and the THP crew! Just hope everyone buys their merchandise to support them! Great job ALL of you!!

[@stephendimarino5570]

"Put it on my back and stay out of my way" Gotta love Ted!

[@BornN2Grave1]

The 2 Beasts and THP are turning me into a much better hunter when it comes to locating quality bucks. Thank you gentlemen.

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Man that was intense and had me on the edge of my seat, both Joe's and Ted's encounters. KZbin videos don't usually do that to me. 😁 Congrats fellas!!!

[@teenelomz9402]

Absolutely LOVE what you guys have done not only with the public land challenge, but what you have done for hunting in general. Making it a working man's pass time again, not just a big $$$ machine and commercial for products that places like the Outdoor Channel turned it into while ruining the sport. Keep up the great videos. I have learned so much in the past few years watching guys like you and the The Hunting Beasts!

[@mattshane8314]

This show keeps my passion for deer hunting alive. Haven’t been able to hunt since I joined the military. I get out October 25th and thanks to this show, my passion is strong. Can’t wait to get in the woods.

[@sendit1214]

Matt Shane thank you for your service

[@jonst.9304]

Bedtime after this. Had to stay awake for it. So worth it.

[@trimmin420]

The best part of this 6 day challenge for me was seeing all the people that were fans of all you guys, the note on the window, the little man who wanted a autograph and Kevin you rock sir bringing doughnuts and juice to the guys that was "sweet". That has to make you guys feel real good inside having strangers appreciate what you do. This was a great series of video's and i learned quite a bit about deer moving around in the swamp, which i never hunt but im going to go get me some waders and get out there and see what i see this year. I would really love to learn how to use a saddle at some point that looks like a great way to "hang out". My only thing is the cost of getting all that gear may be a little to much to acquire this year but maybe in the future ill be able to afford the things i need to get up in a tree some day. Awesome hunts guys congrats Joe that was a great shot my dude.

[@andrewweyerman93]

I pull for you guys like a sports team, broke my heart Ted couldn't get the shot.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Deer's eyes can take in about 50 times as much light as a human's. To a deer's vision, the screen on a video camera can light up the whole area around it. Another great vid, congrats.

[@TheShedHunting]

It might have fallen out of a corn tree haha that's best thing I've ever heard lol

[@jaylonchupp4478]

Listening to dan and joes conversations was highly entertaining but also highly educational. Thank you guys for showing it in such a practical and relatable way!

[@trwhitford65]

I am an old (74) disabled, Missouri, Viet Nam Marine. I have been bowhunting since 1976. No more tree stands for me. Everything is pretty much from the ground now. I really enjoy watching your videos. I am living vicariously with your help. The best part of this was listening to how labored your breathing became. Thanks for the shared hours. Keep 'em coming!!!!

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

YES! Joe is a Beast! Knew he is a stone cold killer, but was cool to see him get the fever on that one. Congratulations 👍 Man I hope we get one more vid out of this series! Well played gentlemen.

[@koleb8413]

I for one like the longer videos. Anyone else agree?

[@TheBudgetSportsman]

Kole B Nope. I spend too much time in the woods and follow too much hunting content this time of year. As much as I love THP (probably my favorite) I just don’t have 45 minutes of time for one video.

[@mrzjohnson4]

It all depends. I personally think 24-28 minutes is a solid length for a video

[@KillenNReelinoutdoors]

I can’t watch enough of THP if I don’t have time during the day I just watch it while laying in bed, best channel out there by far and really like all these guys getting together. 👍

[@roymcdavid1015]

You should reacess your day if you cant take 45 mins at the end of it beefore bed to enjoy something like a good video. Good luck this season.

[@KillenNReelinoutdoors]

Agreed but new baby, working 10-12 hours, helping coach my sons football team plus trying to help the wife while she heals it’s a bit overwhelming but we do what we do lol. I wish you all good luck this season!

[@djf1019]

What makes THP videos so good and this public land challenge is the real life decisions. I love you guys talk through your strategy and setup. And the teamwork is amazing. This shows it’s not about the kill, but the adventure of getting to hunt.

[@wybash]

That's what hunting is all about not the size of the deer but the adventure and work put in makes it. Might be Joe's smallest but it'll be one of his top hunting stories he shares. Awesome guys keep up the good work.

[@BenPlass]

Leave it to Joe to carry the team once again!! Way to go guys! Team Wisconsin for the win!

[@omertaoutdoors689]

Hell yhea represent wi good

[@nickbowman2537]

To kill a buck like that on Michigan state land is to say the least “ difficult as hell” !!! You guys know what your doing! Huge congrats!

[@willdurant216]

Nick Bowman there are an abundance of these small bucks in Michigan because immature and desperate nervous wrecks like this pop the first thing they see.

[@nickbowman2537]

Will Durant .....😂🤣😂

[@KurtisSchulze]

I started watching THP a couple years ago. I live in Michigan. We lease private land, even though I’m surrounded by public. After watching THP they inspired me to check out public land around me. Jake, Dan and Joe come to Michigan and end up hunting and scoring in the exact spot I had scouted out. Crazy!! Thanks for the content guys! You all ROCK! Great buck!!

[@bmalone0688]

Had the deer not picked Zack off in the tree, Ted would be signing a pack of gum for Dan!! Keep it up guys!

[@johnniecarter318]

Congratulations on fine buck!! What a great example of not letting something unexpected ruin your hunt. Adapt to the situation and stay positive. You displayed the text book way to do that and had it pay off! Awesome!! Thank y’all for sharing these times with us.

[@davetoms63]

Joe gets it done again, and Ted was inches away from arrowing one. Good job guys!

[@Nvenus27]

41:32 never seen a deer swim like that. Epic!!! Congratulations on a great harvest.

[@_jurist]

A big thumbs up to JAKE...!!!! Stopping was the right call. That is what made it happen.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Zach that calling was nice! Ted Bear almost became a Michigan legend soo close!

[@Bradm027]

Public Land challenge was brilliant. I've never had a hunting show where I was literally on edge waiting for the next episode to drop. Nicely done, gentleman.. .I appreciate that you didn't make it in to a "biggest buck contest" either... hunting isn't about "winning something".. the very act of hunting is the win. I think you folks portrayed that.

[@kevinard84]

Well, I was about to head to bed to get up early and have everything packed up so my wife and I could get out to the woods as soon as we dropped the boys off at school. I guess I'll be up a little longer... And I couldn't be happier about it.

[@kurtis6939]

I’ve been waiting for this since I saw the Instagram picture.

[@REPR100]

Hell yeah, Dan and Joe are killers! Need to make them regulars on the show!

[@paulmilbocker112]

I second that!!

[@omertaoutdoors689]

Represent our home state well

[@paulmilbocker112]

All of you guys show passion for the sport as well as loyalty to one another. Thanks for an awesome week long adventure. I look forward to every upload! Congrats to Joe. His wait for a shot even had me on pins and needles. Also, when Ted's encounter buck was just yards away from a shot, I felt like it was under my tree stand. My heart was pumping! You guys are awesome!! Keep doing your thing!!

[@jonathanholden6556]

Way to go Joe!! That’s a heartbreaker Ted! I often hit the call when I have no action and it almost always works

[@delculbertson2369]

Joe was breathing harder than a couple newlyweds on their wedding night! Congrats Cubby

[@J155P]

This episode brought to you by "Milkweed. It doesn't lock your scent in, because it doesn't have to.". Congratulations! Awesome hunt boys!

[@southernbloodoutdoors2811]

Awesome!!! Joe is the Cereal Killer 2.0!!!!!! Congrats my Man!!!👍🏻 Ted & Joe are the New kids on the Block!!!!! Good Stuff!!!! Can’t wait for more!!!!!

[@jeffmichel4312]

Thanks Kevin!! You guys are great really! keep representing what hunting really is, its time to drive the final deathnail into the coffin of "the industry"! Thanks THP and The Hunting Beast!

[@deathbyqtip33]

Wow I was not expecting that close call at the end. That was nuts.

[@curtisj.pacejr.579]

Man was that was intense. Waiting was killing me. Congrats Joe. Ted, so close. That was a really nice buck.

[@Riley_Welch]

Loved the vid shows true sportsmanship out there in the woods! 🦌

[@jasoncook680]

What a great group of guys. Nice job Joe, way to get it done. Thanks again for taking us along!!

[@AlexM-so2vl]

THP with the beast crew, is the pinnacle of THP content in my opinion. Great stuff and congrats to everyone involved in the process. Ted had some close calls in the end.

[@stevegauthier6694]

Man I've learned sooo much from you guys. There's a lot of Yahoo's on the tube, but I only watch a couple. You guys certainly get my vote. Thanks guys

[@henley_hunts9504]

Joe, the reigning, defending PLC champ! Knew michigan would give you guys some fits. So awesome, hopeing to see Ted with some last minute magic!!! Those were some awesome bucks. Thank you, all you guys for coming to Michigan and showing it can be done!

[@williamhollaway4174]

And the Oscar goes to Jake for keeping Joe calm. I thought joe was gonna jump down and wrestle the deer and make him submissive. Congrats Joe the big buck killa. Way to go Jake.

[@isaactyson4618]

I just want to say thank you to the whole THP crew for putting in all the work for us to enjoy these videos. A special thank you to Greg for all his selfless editing effort. Please make sure you guys are not working so hard that you are not having fun anymore. While we love the content, your personal lives are more important than our entertainment. Keep up the good work!

[@thecaptainonline]

Right On Boys! A Michigan Beast! Thank you for being so kind to Michigan. I love my state and the hunting opportunities that abound here.

[@normaneastman6889]

Thank all of you for sticking with it. Please do a wrap of video of all the pluses hunters in Michigan have. Like two buck tags, lots of public land, Bunch of young deer, mature does, rich hunting tradition, friendly people and average pressure. Your gonna see hunters most anywhere on Sat and Sunday afternoon. Oh and I would like to hear everyone's thoughts who came to "The land of big water" and participated in the challenge.

[@theprocreated5780]

Its not about the size. Its about the hunt. Even though he may not be a monster compared to some states, the hunt was tough. Made it nerve racking. Lol. Great job!

[@ericfloyd9842]

Real hunting by real people. Cant get enough of it. Great buck, dude. Congrats!

[@JE-tz4sh]

Congrats Joe. Tough hunting paid off

[@Intimidator82]

I would never be able to keep composure staring at a buck that long. Great work Joe, you guys work so hard for your deer, well deserved buck, congrats!!

[@michaelbeck7157]

Freaking Awesome Joe!!! That was a great audible when the other hunter's moved thru. So happy for you!!!

[@jerrykegel2678]

"The Most knowledgable Hunters on U-Tube; Love You Guys!"

[@mztd912]

That groundhog facing off with the buck for some acorns was hilarious. Awesome footage! Great hunt and very sportsmanlike to show respect for the other hunters. You guys really know what you are doing. Some people just think you're lucky, but a lot of it is actually understanding where to find the deer. Congrats!

[@withoutexcuseministries2179]

Great hunt fellas!! Really enjoy the information shared as well as helping us all remember what hunting really is all about..having fun and enjoying time in creation with our friends and family!

[@jacob_mcm]

That stare down that Ted and Aaron had with the monster. Man, I've been there before. Nothing more sickening than a big buck coming in and then at the last moment he stops and picks you off. Great footage!

[@josephstumpo6968]

That was awesome! That’s a nice Michigan public land buck for up there. Y’all were definitely in em! Hope Ted was able to close the deal the following day. Good luck the rest of the season guys and hope we get to see Zach hunt soon too, always a fun video to watch.

[@lungbustercrnvr1384]

Great job Joe!! You gotta be FEELIN BEASTY AYE bud! Not bad for Michigan public land, way to Crush the challenge!!!

[@mgm_coma219]

Joe showed some guts packing up and moving like that with no time to spare! And I love that Ted was so pumped to just have an encounter with those bucks even though he didn't get a shot. That's what its all about right there boys. Well done once again!

[@justinsigmon1878]

So excited to see when a new video pops up. Started hunting like y'all do and have already shot 8 point this year and seen one of the biggest deer of my life. So can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds.

[@ahill2climb1]

This was one of the best videos THP has put out. So happy you guys finally got a Michigan buck down! One of the best things I take from this hunt was how Joe and Jake decided to get down from their stand when those two hunters ruined their hunt and they made a plan while trying to avoid the other hunters to not ruin their hunt. Also, once they killed their buck they waited till dark to leave so they didn't ruin the other hunters hunt. That's true sportsmanship right there! Tip of the hat to you guys!

[@evanjarvi406]

Great shot Ted showing the guys showing that buck how to swim lol,congrats Joe on the buck hope you'll comeback to Michigan for following PLC's. I think your group of guys are 1 of the only people filming that show where and how the shots ended up on the deer, most just show shooting and then the glory shots and high fives.

[@joemajinska588]

Quality Dairy is a staple in the Mid Michigan area! Great deer Joe! Was cool to see you get worked up waiting for the shot like I always do! Great show guys. Keep it up!

[@cterbow1]

Love the last minute standoff with the bucks Ted. We have all been there many times. Seems here in MI they always hang up at dark before they commit to close the last few yards.

[@jeremygilreath224]

I've said it before and gone say it again yall men are my favorite I learn alot everytime i watch and I sure like the team work u dont see many people that are still good friends now day

[@bowhuntingrules1114]

Awesome video, congrats Joe. Love to watch you guys figure it all out. Ted, that was a great buck and you were really close to cashing in on him. Can't tell you guys enough how much I enjoy sitting down and watching these video's, thank you so much for sharing them with us.

[@davidfrazier1972]

The beasty boys should be honorary members of THP they flippin rock

[@benjaminkingsley2897]

I think Zach just spilled the beans on the colorado elk hunt!

[@satcon5852]

Congrats, Joe! ...And then big buck intuition strikes again. "Somethin' ain't right, dawg. Let's bounce."

[@mainprizeoutdoors2139]

I really enjoyed watching you guys hunt Michigan. We may not have the biggest bucks but they are some out there if you look and be persistent. Ted called in a couple nice bucks and almost got a shot. Well done boys!! Love your show!!

[@bobbys6777]

Two public land challenges in a row Joe is the only to get it down. Great deer!

[@wesleyjackson4886]

Joe's persistence is something I need to learn from. Congrats all

[@Tbowie13]

I completely agree with the guys saying He wishes Dan was a THP regular. I know Hunting Beast has a channel, but combine Dan's antics with THP's production quality and you got a winner! Greg can certainly burn it down with his editing! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kevincramer6895]

I am so excited that you came to Michigan and that I had the opportunity to meet you and talk a little deer hunting ... right where I hunt... This confirmed what I thought about the property that I hunt.. Thanks for showing what can actually be done... here in Michigan. I tend to over prepare, and the suffer from paralysis of analysis... I do disagree with Dan's comment that "If we can do it, then anyone can do it"

[@cw6460]

Love how yall hunt! No bs foam or sprays! Just smart hunting! Go hawks

[@aidanoshea6982]

I shot a nice 8. It’s my biggest buck with a bow

[@michaelblocher3007]

Well done Joe! Ted I was pulling for you hard man, so close!!! Goes to show if you put in the work and keep an open mind anyone can accomplish a good buck in public land here in Mi! 👍

[@normanrobinson5238]

Joe laying the smack down on another public land challenge. If only ted could have killed that nice one, would have been icing on the cake. Good job all!

[@stephenfreeland1313]

That buck is a carbon copy of my first bow buck a few years back in Missouri. Still remember that rush. You guys are bringing it this season. Keep it up 👊

[@SecrawOutdoors]

Posted one minute ago and I’ve never clicked so fast

[@garybanwart6600]

Ol' Jake . . . The chicken legged mud dauber! 😆 Congrats to Joe on a fine specimen!

[@strydershadow391]

Grats Joe! Looks like Ted's luck dried up there just before dark. You could see that old sly buck looking right at them, so close. Was really hoping you'd pull it off in the last seconds Ted.

[@xrocketmanx1]

Another totally AWESOME video from the Hunting Public and Beast crew. I think you guys should do 2 or 3 hunts a year together. You all make a great team and look like you truly enjoy each others company out there. Thanks for all the hard work in producing these very entertaining videos for us to watch... Great Job guys!! I got myself a hoodie.

[@jaypop7385]

These videos get me so amped up to get out hunting. Can’t wait to go tomorrow to a new piece of property to do some scouting and hang some stands w my brother

[@scottharrington2400]

Congratulations Joe!! Jake, great filming as you were shifting from side to side around the tree. Ted - sooo close!! Zach - great footage, that was a beast!! I don't think it was the camera light, most likely bad breath, that scared the buck...lol. You guys kick some but! I really like the challenges, and the teams. Great group of ethical hunters. I appreciate the fact that you guys waited until dark to leave. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshuaguidry4034]

Ted sounds like more of your local bullfrog than a deer grunting lmao

[@forthrightnight]

I've watched all these old deer hunting videos probably going on the 5th time. Never heard the "corn tree" line before. Too funny!

[@davidjelinek1977]

Great job ! I knew that’s the area you guys were near ! Thanks for coming to Michigan ! As you can see , so many fans from Michigan

[@donhawkins8366]

I love all these videos that these guys make all the camaraderie I wish I had filmed a lot of the hunts I had with my hunting friends
