I SHOT A RUT DRUNK BUCK !

[@ericschwen3849]

Nothing better than the sound of "twhack" and the satisfaction of knowing it was a good shot when they lose steam shortly after.

[@MuleyFreak]

Amen to that, Eric. Thanks for watching!

[@shawnparker7420]

[@justingoss533]

That was a bad ass video awesome slow mo kill shot. Nothing like hunting desert bucks.

[@mikeyderock]

Gotta love it when you can hear the miles and wear on someone's voice, especially after it all works out! Nothing but thankfulness and being reminded of why you love doing what you do!

Awesome job, Erik! That buck is a stud! You guys put in the work and deserved it big time. Gotta love those beautiful desert mulies.

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewnunez4153]

Love that you keep the misses in there. Keeps the videos real and shows you don’t harvest everything you shoot at!

[@benlundell9211]

Way to seal the deal on awesome desert muley buck. I like seeing the adaptability you guys show in your hunting. Nothing goes as planned. Great film. Excited for the season to get here.

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks, Justin! We appreciate you watching!

Love watching the multiple stalks you put on deer. The 2 angles of you shooting is awesome. Love watching the arrow fly from there time you hit your release!

[@MuleyFreak]

Pretty epic footage! Thanks for sure!

[@loganadcock800]

Love the slow mo footage of the kill shot! Would love to see more of that!

[@ryankrog653]

[@MuleyFreak]

[@kylerbrown9452]

Love hearing the "thwack" of an arrow hitting a deer! A sound you never forget!

[@MuleyFreak]

There's nothing quite like it!

[@ErikVanWoerkom]

It's the best!

[@darrenklaty6630]

Nothing better than knowing you’ll have a short blood trail to follow after the shot! Nice work Erik!

[@gregescobar9146]

You just gotta love the ambition, the drive, and willingness of these guys to go out and put on the miles every single day for 6 days straight and get rewarded with a great buck!! Watching this video just makes me want to work harder this year and continue to never give up and always keep moving forward!! Great video!!

[@florinfuego]

This video has me stoked to get my hands on a desert Muley tag this year. Solid films so far boys, thank you!

[@alexreyes6909]

Awesome video guys! Hard work paid off at end for both of your guys hunts. Thanks to deer gods and freedom to let us what do what we love To Do!! Hunt For Food.

Great video showing the challenges of being a bowhunter and persistence of keeping after it.

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for watching, Ross! Stoked to have you on our channel.

[@MasterTheHunt23]

There is seriously nothing better than chasing rutting desert muleys with a bow, nobody can change my mind. Great video fellas 👍🏻

[@jonwilson1571]

Hunting with your best buddies is the best time

[@MuleyFreak]

There's nothing like a good hunting buddy. Thanks for watching, Jon.

[@huntoregon1]

Great shot! Can’t believe that buck stayed there the whole time! Looked like you were in plain sight.

[@MuleyFreak]

Rut drunk like crazy!

[@goeasypdx]

Couldn’t ask for a better setup! Congratulations!

[@MuleyFreak]

Right!? It worked out perfect.

[@travisnebeker217]

Sweet buck! Hard earned for sure! Thanks for putting it together for us to share in the experience

[@acham92]

Good job fellas. Way to stick with it through the adversity.

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for watching, Andrew!

[@dvswany]

Respectable bow buck and you put your time in looking for that big framed four point, so thumbs up. Really hoped to see more of the big guy but that is how it goes. The hunt is the trophy the animal is just icing on the cake'

[@williamflowers3194]

Hell of a shot and a hell of a buck! Glad it all came together for you guys!

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks, William! Glad to have you a part of the channel.

[@ryansmith9847]

Real nice footage on that buck. Slow mo was sweet too.

[@Thunder-RanchTV]

What a drill shot!! You made it look so easy!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing the passion!!!

[@dv_2131]

Awesome video! That deer definitely was meant to be yours and what a reward it was. Congratulations on a stud buck.

[@darrenmiller5419]

Love the hunt! The stalks get my heart pumping. High fives all around, great video.

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks, Darren! Thanks for watching, brother!

[@bornofthemountains]

The coolest part was listening to the arrow fly. Pretty cool stuff! Great footage as always!

[@MuleyFreak]

Those vented Iron Will broadheads do whistle a little bit, but as you can see it didn't spook the deer before the arrow hit its mark. Thanks for watching, Adam!

[@leonwells9953]

That slow motion action shot was sick. Loved it. Congrats

[@MuleyFreak]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching, Leon!

[@anthonylucia2398]

There's nothing like hunting rutting bucks in the desert country with the trusty bow. I miss it! Epic hunt!

[@MuleyFreak]

There's nothing quite like rutting bucks in the desert with bow in hand. Be sure to subscribe, buddy!

[@SouthEasternMichiganOutdoors]

Have enjoyed all your guys videos. Keep them coming!!! And yes loved the slow motion kill shot!

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for watching, Gary!

[@high_uintahoutdoors]

This gets me so hyped up for upcoming mule deer hunts!

[@MuleyFreak]

Us too! Thanks for watching, brother. We appreciate your support!

[@joehanson-rivera490]

I think this is the best season so far

[@dougmilewsky7593]

Great job on this hunt! Nothing better than knowing exactly where your meal comes from.

[@MuleyFreak]

Organic. Straight from the desert in this case! Thanks for watching, Doug!

[@SolvidFIY]

Awesome archery mule deer hunt and footage quality. Time to stop thinking the killshot footage is extra and start making it the standard. "Its everthing!" you say, and I agree. Keep up the good work, you're an artist! The bino harness looks sweet!

[@MuleyFreak]

You're right. I need to get one of your new systems!

[@TheMaddag]

Way to stay after it boys gotta stay positive!

[@nharrison72]

No complaints to bump into a deer like that bedded down. Nice shot!

[@shaunathey8162]

Great footage! Glad to see all the hard work and determination paid off on an awesome buck!

[@roberthauck9392]

Nice shot. Perseverance paid off again. Keep the videos coming fellas

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for being a part of our channel, Robert!

[@brettovard]

Congrats on a sweet buck. I love the webbing at the forks!

[@MuleyFreak]

Pretty cool! Thanks for subbing, Brett!

[@richardrivera8500]

Awesome shot, congrats. Iron Will and Easton smashing it again.

[@haydenbarlow6627]

Who would have thought that that buck was just chillin there. Definitely cool to see him knocked down. Hunting in general can be extremely frustrating. Just ask Aaron from some of his previous desert hunts. I’ve got back to back years now skunked but that’s all part of it.

[@MuleyFreak]

It's nice when things just work out how you want them to. Ha. It isn't often that they do, but it's sure nice when it does. We're happy to have caught it all on video to share with others! Thanks for watching, Hayden!

[@TheDROB3]

Already scouting for next year! Thanks for keeping us all stokedd!

[@logantaylor933]

The pack out is always when it sets in! It is worth it!

[@MuleyFreak]

Every time! No matter how heavy! :)

[@jorgecisneros5814]

Great job on that hunt, you have to truly work hard sometimes to get your tag filled but it feels good in the end. Keep making great videos.

[@papajorge88]

Strong work boys! Way to stay the course..the gods definitely felt you earned it and provided. Just got my first bow a couple weeks ago and I'm hooked..that was a killer shot!

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks, Jorge!

[@Elkslaya1]

Open country mule deer are a blast! 50 + is the norm where I hunt! I’ll never forget my first 50 yard plus kill. They look so close at 50!

[@tylerbrewer9320]

Got to love the sound of pure arrow flight and the sound of great impact love the channel

[@hollieseal3650]

I learn so much from watching you guys! Great hunt in absolutely beautiful country!

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks for watching, Hollie! We are happy to hear you are finding some of the information in these videos useful.

[@Horsefaller]

No one ever has success if they give up. Fail fail again and a memory will be maid. Nice work.

[@mattgoin]

Hats off fella's! Way to get it done! You earned that one

[@MuleyFreak]

Thanks, Matt. We put in the work on this buck!

[@SamuelCannonsoutheastidaho]

Awesome video. That’s a sweet buck, on a nice shot! I love that thwack the arrow makes when it connects.

[@MuleyFreak]

It's one of the many sounds of freedom in our opinion! Thanks for watching, buddy. Are you subbed?

[@WillLarsen6411]

Stay at it boys! Your doing great work here and I’m learning so much!

[@MuleyFreak]

Thank you! Will do! We appreciate your support.

[@eugenedickenson3693]

Hard work pays off. Great buck and slow mo was cool. Congrats!!!

[@MuleyFreak]

How can one expect the reward if he/she is unwilling to put in the work? Thanks for your kind words, Eugene! We're happy to have you on our channel. God speed!
