Montana Deer Hunt - A 2023 PNWild Film

PNWild presents a Montana deer hunting adventure film! We head east for rutting mule deer in the rolling hills of Eastern Montana, where we are met with some frigid temps and white out conditions. Fortunately we are able to make quick work of 3 mule deer tags by tagging out in 24 hours. We hope you ENJOY this film.

Oh my God this video was amazing. It gives me more hope and more chances for me to go out there for the first time. Hey guys quick question what caliber you guys are using?

[@PNWild]

Thanks so much!!! Appreciate you, it’s a 7mm rem mag shooting 160 nosler accubond

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Great video guys thanks for sharing that was some amazing hunting😊

[@tweiss1122]

Guys let’s practice some muzzle control. Holy smokes. I figured this video should have been titled “watch how many times I can point a gun at my friends”. And don’t hold it by the barrel and use the stock as a hiking pole on the side of a hill 🙈. If one of my buddies pointed a gun at my back that many times it would be his last trip.

[@AleksanderGolebiewski]

The only thing I’ll say besides congrats on the hunt is that the first buck shot in the video, the 3rd shot was with the buck sky-lined and that is definitely not a shot you want anyone taking for safety reasons.

[@Jack-rf7kq]

“Jesus Christ Jeff” as he drops his pack on the rifle then kicks it over immediately after 🤣

[@larrynorton1894]

Reason I liked your video is your proud of what you shot. Didn’t have to be huge and you got some good eating. Nice bucks!

[@PNWild]

Appreciate you!!

[@StoneTrees]

Another great film! Cracks me up how Bob makes a show of mulling over whether to shoot that 3x3 or not...as if anyone actually doubts it.

[@PNWild]

[@kestrel5719]

Well done guys taggin out! Just watch the muzzle of that rifle. It seems to flagging someone more often than not. Just reward for hard work!!

[@michaelbosisto6259]

First, excellent video, nothing as cool as mule deer hunts in the snow, it really makes stunning videos and photos. I know it’s not easy, but you made it look like it was easy. The comment you made comparing WA and Montana are spot on. I’ve hunted most of my life in WA, until 5 years ago. I really grew tired of the poorly run WDFW, where politics and activism has made it less appealing and expensive. I now hunt for 4 days in the SE corner of Montana ( powder river ), and the next week just a stones throw away in Wyoming.Over the last 5 years I have tagged huge Mule deer, Whitetail deer and Pronghorns each year. I’ve only seen other hunters at the main roads, but I have never seen a single hunter in the field. I never have to go to far back to get into critters. The only times I get really far back is because sometimes it’s so open up there you don’t realize just how far you’ve gone until you turn around. Once you go to Montana and Wyoming, you’ll never look at deer hunting in WA the same way. When you think about it, you can spend a ton of money hunting WA and because of the poorly managed populations, winter kill ( 2016 ) and disease… chances are you’re gonna come home to tag soup. God bless and shoot straight.

[@PNWild]

really appreciate you, and its sad the turn WA has taken in the last 5-10 years... cheers man thanks again

[@michaelmarshall1651]

MT is heading that direction also.

[@nt3523]

@@michaelmarshall1651 Already there man.

[@nt3523]

It's funny to hear you guys talk like that about Montana, because I've been living and hunting here for 20 years and it's going to shit. Sure you can find dinks like these guys shot, but the big bucks are few and far between. I'm sorry but that third buck is just a mediocre buck. I've passed about a hundred bucks like that here. We used to see a couple monsters every year. By monster I mean 180+. Now they're just not getting a chance to grow because guys don't pass on the dinks. Is a 150 buck a monster in your book? It shouldn't be, but it seems all I see is bambi in out of state plate trucks.

[@michaelbosisto6259]

@@nt3523 I see that as well. I made it a habit to only shoot 180+ bucks, the area I hunt is full of 5+ year olds. I hunt on private land, and my friend down there only allows me to take the big boys. Here in WA, there are a few exceptions, but for the most part people take only “dinks”, for dinks are the only thing you see. I primarily hunt for food, but I pass on small bucks, thus meaning I eat tag soup often. That’s why I hunt on Montana and Wyoming.

[@intothetimberoutdoors8746]

Hell yeah boys got to love those doubles. Thanks Bob for taking some of our coyotes home with you. Like always great content.

I stopped hunting when you guys shot a 2-year-old deer. This is the reason few bucks get big in Eastern Montana. Have some self control and don't shoot the first deer you see.

[@acesonflush346]

I don't complain about people shooting small deer or elk. But it is annoying to see people that are willing to kill any legal animal just cause. I eat the animals I kill but I don't inherently need the meat either. So I'm kind of a trophy hunter in a way, if I see a good size animal I'll harvest it and enjoy the meat. If I don't see a good size animal I just don't shoot an animal.

[@craiga8191]

I stopped hunting as well.

[@chasejacobson5195]

You blame people that shoot a buck that gets them excited for the lack of qualitydeer? Maybe blame the lack of mature bucks in Eastern MT on the fact that that most of the units are over the counter general units with a 5 week rifle season right through the prime rut...

[@jonathonlang1844]

I see alot of people dumping on these guys so ill give a different perspective. Coming from the southeast and moving to the pnw I consider a 2-3 year old buck to be a truely impressive deer compared to what I grew up hunting. To get bigger deer or stay away from the common hunters shooting LEGAL deer, why not go deep? Or do like we did back home and buy land to keep your herd managed to the standard you want. Ultimately i believe if the state deems it legal and you trust in your local conservation policies then this shouldnt be doing much damage to the deer herd.

Great hunt but honestly the first kill was unethical you shouldn't be shooting at a deer that is sky lining over a ridge if you would have missed he has no clue where the bullet would have went this isn't irresponsible shot thankfully he hit the target but there's no way this is an ideal hunting shot you never want to shoot beyond what you can see like I said this is not an ethical shot at the skyline especially after making two bad shots before you guys can do better than this. ..,

@@heinrichkellogg7563 while you're not wrong there is a stark difference in killing young deer with good genetics that have potential to turn into brutes vs killing deer with poor genetics, like something with a high and narrow rack.
