Muley Hunt 2023 What Went Down

[@mikespak1473]

BS, on the cam not harvesting animals....you wouldn't have even known the area had those animals in it if not for the cam. But regardless, enjoyed the Video and congrats on your success!

[@howtohunt1777]

I would have known by tracks and rubs….. you don’t place the cam if you don’t recognize the terrain, go to look, find the trails, see buck prints and note key worthy of a camera. THEN see what and size potential is there; set your goal and HUNT. You can’t get set a camera without knowing where to go, what to look for BEFORE you hunt.

[@rollyboily5513]

@@howtohunt1777 It’s motivation when you see em for sure 👍🏻. Elk are ghosts in my backyard for sure. I had some major growls from a possible bull elk on the last day. I haven’t been in there all year and he heard me stalking hunting in my trail. 30 years of next year!!!

[@ryanscott1316]

Right!.. Throw out some cameras in a random spot, and show us what you get.

[@tigercat73]

You absolutely have to know the area has good potential before you even think of putting a camera. The fact the camera shows you certain bucks are there certainty doesn't guarantee success especially the vast area Steve hunts. Cameras are a helpful tool but the hunter is the one who has to game plan. Steve is a legend with many hours in the woods. I consider myself a good hunter but Steve is on another level.

​@@howtohunt1777 so true !

[@donc9751]

That must have felt like an amazing accomplishment when you went completely against your better judgment and knowledge to follow your gut and raced to find him right where your instincts took you Steve!!!! Congratulations!!! You deserve to get away on your own whenever you have the urge or feel the need!!!! Good for you! Blows my mind thinking of that big buck weighing 350 pounds dressed out!!! What a monster!

[@unleashnow226]

Congratulations, Steve! What a TRUE hunt! I don’t know how the heck you can pack out 350lbs in that terrain 🤯 AND, you STILL take time to bring us along❤️

[@rollyboily5513]

Debone and pack only meat and antlers with couple trips for sure 👍🏻

[@waynebarnett7467]

Congrats Steve. About twenty years ago a friend of mine killed a ten point whitetail in coshocton county Ohio, after field dressing it weighed right at 300 lbs.biggest bodied deer I’ve ever seen.

[@rockhunter6260]

Great hunt Steve, congratulations 👍🏻

[@0069fishy]

My buck wasnt that big but no less rewarding, I know how you feel! You are a great story teller and I learned so much from you, which I used to make my hunt a realty ! Thank you!

[@jakem.6359]

The "hunt' stories are just amazing. They definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.....the way only Steve can 👍

[@tigercat73]

Some people talk the talk ole steve also walks the walk. You're an inspiration Brother!!

[@paddywic]

I found your channel many years ago and loved the hunting stories, have loved the journey into knowledge of the real world with you Steve, however, I really missed the hunt stories. Thank you Steve. Keep on keeping on brother.

[@howardmarschat3750]

Congratulations Steve you earned every hair on that buck. He's a beautiful monster.

[@juliehagan3853]

I am always thrilled when someone makes their goal! Be it hunting or something that is important to the individual. Congrats on your endurance to making that goal a reality. I really liked the parting song you put in. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience!

[@JimBowSlice]

This is what i like most about your channel. I hubted my first time on public land in michigan lots of huning pressure went to the obvious over looked spot and boom was on some deer. Just nothing i wanted to bring home

[@rhuck37]

Wow, that is what I would call one great hunt for sure, where I, for one, am really grateful that you took the time to take all of us along with you on this special hunt of yours. It was a much-appreciated hunt by this old timer!!! Thank You!!! It's hard to conceive that a mule deer can get that big, but I do know for a fact that they can get that big, because in Utah, where I used to hunt, they would have some 300 + pounders with 7 and 8 points on each side, where their name for them would be Majestics! Yes, I do have a Sabe' story that will blow your socks off but writing it all down might be way too long for you, but I still need to get it to you, because it tells all of us just what they are, big time, to where I have been watching your story telling now for over 3 years!!! Thank you for what you are doing for the people!!

[@Iknowright8918]

Get it down and send it brother.... we all want to hear....

[@cerberus50caldawg]

I second that! I want to learn whatever I can. I always wish that people who wrote in saying "sorry if this is too long" or "I'll keep this short" and "I'll have to write in about that other bit another time" would have really decided to put that extra effort into that single email Steve just happens to be reading right then. Steve hasn't ever been put off by the size of any email that I've seen. I've heard him make mention of it as much himself. Don't be afraid just send it send it and be heard. I listen to 3 videos and sometimes more of Steve reading accounts daily while working and doing other things. We need more voices from the experienced and make sure it is as long and detailed as you can be. No shame in writing a book If your able and willing as this is exactly the right place to be heard and thanks in advance for contributing whatever knowledge you decide to share with us all! It will be received most appreciatively I assure you! 😃 🍻

[@jmar5787]

Steve, thanks for sharing the thrill of the hunt and accomplishing your goal!!

[@northcountry9240]

Surly impressive mule Deer. congrats again on your Harvest. Great food for your body & soul 🇺🇲

[@CameronMcCreary]

Good morning Steve. It looks cold as you track the buck. Snow all over the ground.

[@SLOWELK307]

Congratulations on your buck especially a target buck you’ve scouted for. Mule deer hunting is my life it was a hard year here in Wyoming this year due to winter kill. You’re a badass brother!

[@Darnocsj]

Great vid-really took us on the perfect hunt.

[@BrianDavis-no6gy]

Thanks Steve , Sarah and Family Ruby included 👋☺️👍 🇮🇪 🇨🇦 🇺🇲 HI HYH FAMILY 👋👀🤞 Best Wishes to all !

[@sgtblackrock4997]

That's a beast bro.... your smile says it all.

[@repetemyname842]

Loving the heck outta that music, thanks for turning us onto the artist.

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Dang Steve! Nice buck! Wish I had more land to hunt here but i did find a piece of publick land nobody's hunting. But very first hike in the swamp and a big tree fell not 40 yards in front of me! Didn't scare me but I definitely respect. So went back in the next day and found that tree was a dead fall. No tracks... but im going back in my kayak

[@nickgreer4953]

Awesome buck Steve! You’ve renewed my hope/perseverance to keep hunting the general area on Utah’s north slope where my Grandfather always harvested deer near our family cabin. There’s some giant bucks in the area, but gets pounded due to our states shitty elk management! Love the content and always looking forward to more! Thank you Sir!

[@midwesternoutdoorsandnatur8272]

Your hunting stories are the stuff of dreams for many of us. Awesome job keeping it real, sharing the struggles, and man what buck. We are the same age, and though I’ve tagged a hundred midwest whitetails I long for that wilderness hunt. God Bless brother!

[@thomasmichsr2200]

Wow. I love and know that feeling. Moved to Virginia where my son lives and he’s 39 and never got a deer until three weeks ago with me. His first was a button buck thought was a doe. We are meat hunting so it was fine. Two weeks later he got a 8 point and a doe. 35 minutes apart. I was so excited not caring if I got one. He’s mounting the 8 point. I’ve told our story 20 times. So proud and happy. Keep up with the hunting tips and stories. Your babbling is very informative so stop apologizing and keep it up. Thanks Steve. I listen to them several times. lol. You and yours have a safe and wonderful Christmas season. Ps. I called and racked in his buck. He ran under his stand two minutes afterwards. I was stoked. Thanks again.

[@illusiv2135]

So much fun listening to you describe your hunt. I felt like I was a bug on your shoulder watching the action! Thanks,Steve!

[@magpiemikeproductions]

What a great accomplishment.Your channel it the best. I grew up listening and telling hunting stories with my family, and these are all golden. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with us. Harvest your own meat... so cool.

[@Dee-wy5mu]

Gotta have more of this!!! Thanks Steve. Music is great too!!!

[@adambrewer8949]

DUDE!! Kick ass FU NG video!! Oh yeah, nice job on the ol' Mossback too, I reckon! You are too much, my friend, God love ya for it too! I showed this video to Sage and Wyatt, my boys, 21 and 19 respectively, and they thought I worked hard for the Muleys here in N Colo. We all three of us think that you are just the shit, buddy! We're prouder'n three pups of ya, thanks for everything you do to guide and teach us (and give us something to shoot for) Figuratively speakin, a course!!

[@andrewpurcell6153]

Thank you for all of the stories and sharing your experiences. You help me get to the next level with your energy and wisdom.

[@Busy_Bill.K]

Love the thrill Steve. Thank you. I hunt through you vicariously. I admire everthing you do.

[@randyvelder949]

Love feeling like Iam hunting with you so cool.

[@Nathan-i2t]

Good for you and your Family God bless

[@BeauDumas]

What a BRUTE MULEY!! Love all your videos ands stories man!! Great job telling them. You’ve had an awesome life having made the right choices.. smart bro

[@roymcdavid1015]

Hell yeah Steve. I was hoping you would do something like this for this buck. He was a cranker for sure man. Keep it up as long as you can man cause time goes faster with our age.

[@timlandegent3536]

Awesome story and awesome deer!! He been through some stuff!!

[@brookandersen1423]

Hey Steve, I love your videos and your guiding stories. Much love from another BC boy.

[@BlueSky-ed4en]

Awesome, you worked hard for him,great! Awesome story, successful hunt. 😎

[@briandemas2548]

A great video Steve! A pleasant change from the norm. God bless Steve and Sara.

[@jdsindybigfootresearch337]

Awesome video Steve thanks. Be safe and God bless you Sarah and Ruby ❤.

[@COREYDEER]

It’s amazing how the gut instincts kick in. I’ve had a couple experiences like that too. I just need to be somewhere. Smashing a goal is awesome. Especially when you have to work hard for it. That was me last year getting my first big game with a bow. Spot and stalk/ambush 180 mule deer buck. Congrats on the old giant! Great story.

[@richardschmeltz5371]

Been waiting for this since the morning you posted you got him!! Awesome brother!

[@vaughanalexander258]

Thanks for sharing this awesome experience 💪🏻

[@rustymcnitt5508]

Congratulations Steve. I watch your other channel and heard about your experience. But have been waiting for this special video. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Best always Rusty in Southern Oklahoma ❤😊

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Awesome hunt! I pray i can hunt some land like that soon!

[@mapperdba]

Congratulations. Your hard work paid off. It was great to hear how you plan and execute your hunt.

[@howardvaughn9241]

Beautiful buck. Great story teller! Loved this video. Been a fan for a while. Found you through the Bigfoot videos. Much praise.

[@ronwilliamson8384]

Beauty buck sir, persistence pays off, hoping to do that on a whitetail this coming season as I couldn't dedicate this year and hoping he made it through the hunting season as he is a monster buck, rough scored his side by side sheds last year and they were 185" ish, congrats on your target buck

[@NorthCascadesOutdoors]

When you get that feeling in your gut that tells you to get to a certain spot, always follow your gut. Its worked out for me multiple times, just as it worked out for you. Congrats on a nice mulie

[@stevekelly4020]

Congratulations again brother!!

[@cerberus50caldawg]

Man that was a beautiful animal and a killer story! Seeing you as you shared the thrill in that moment as it just happened.. it put me right there with you man! Been following you on your facts channel soooo long now and saw this pop up and thought hell yeah let me see Steve talk about his hunt for a change. I'm glad I did. Congratulations on that beast!🍻

[@ronniehdable]

So very happy for you Steve . Tell Sarah to can, can! Great shot, thanks for sharing. What does Zeus think? I wonder if so 35:06 he's still around.what a great hunt. Great knowledge. It's hard to believe these animals your harvesting are related to our 125 lbs we have here. Thanks again Steve.. ron

[@jamesbuck6623]

Hey really nice Buck lots of patience involved, an it payed off , but it always doesn't lol ate tag soup myself but to me the next year made it worth it good job!

Awesome recounting the story of the hunt Steve!

[@ericshaffer7088]

Beautiful deer! Fantastic results Steve. I'm jealous...

[@coleholt1223]

Great Job! Amazing area with those genetics and the interface of Blacktail, Mule, And Whitetail. Steve, what is your take on the genetic mixing happening between these species? are you seeing any hybrids?

[@billweihl2859]

That's a awesome story and hunt Steve. Both bucks were brutes but the last one was a dandy. It's hard to believe a buck of that caliber would stick around that same area as long as he did just cause I'm pretty sure he knew you were there just from scent but he definitely wanted to be there and you did the grind to stay on him and finished what you started. Love the hunting videos and the stories that go with it. Be safe out there my friend.

[@tarzantheapeman7497]

Congratulations on that big beautiful Mule Deer Buck, WOW his Neck was Monster Hugh, that's a lot of good eating, Thanks Steve for sharing your Knowledge and skills on How to Hunt the Big Buck 🎯👍

Great job 🌲🐾🦌

[@stephenjensen93]

Perseverance and commitment is what hunting is all about. I love hunting and particularly hunting all day by myself. The sound of the woods is what keeps me going. Love your videos. Can you read the tracks before you catch a monster on the camera? My biggest bucks travel back to the same areas and I can read the tracks when they are back into spots that I can kill them

[@daleculbertson6862]

What a cool hunt. Thank you Steve and congratulations once again

[@JamesM-l5g]

Wow, very impressive. Congratulations Steve. Love your channels and your hunting app. Great training. I believe it’s the best and you make it simple and to the point. Being from Hoopa, I need to send in my BF experience. I don’t really care for Dave and was surprised you became friends with him at first…. But that’s just me.

[@cerberus50caldawg]

Hahaha! I just had to share because my wife can't even stand hearing Dave talk. Not sure why she absolutely knows nothing about him or cares to but if I am watching any of his can-am missing411 stuff and she can even hear him she immediately leaves the room or puts in headphones. She's never had a prob with me watching Steve though! LOL I know you probably have good reasons why you say what you do. My wife on the other hand just can't stand him. No reasons needed or given. LOL

[@JamesM-l5g]

@@cerberus50caldawg Yeah, I pretty much agree with her. Which is sad. To feel this way about another person is not a nice thing. In a way I actually feel bad about it.

[@brucerobson8341]

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you try to mask your scent on your trails or if you worry about pushing your quarry out of the area at all? With the lack of many does to hold him in the area he was stubborn to a fault! Did himself in. Very interesting fact about the rubs, thanks. So much to learn , so little time.

You inspire me to go out there and get that big hammer black tail buck in western WA.
