RIVER BUCK In TENNESSEE!! (Poacher Encounter)

[@ahwwsten]

Good on you for posting this, and being honest about it. Hunts don’t always go perfectly to plan, in fact they rarely do. Thanks for being real. Great stuff!

[@CamS_outdoors]

I was going to say the same thing, well said.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

Plan B happens. Glad to see u gottem. Like the humble nature of the hunt.

[@Thesac44]

This shows how rough things can get.

[@dalecain1158]

Hunts don’t always go the way they should. You adapted and finally got the buck you really wanted. God is so good!

[@jacobfaucett]

God is always one to amaze you, he blesses us in so many ways!

[@fieldsj007]

I don’t think god was worried about this guys deer hunt😂😂😂 so ignorant

[@jacobfaucett]

@@fieldsj007you gotta realize god walks with us in all aspects of our life, he doesn’t ignore or leave you when you’re deer hunting

[@DavidAnderson-pw2es]

This is wild I had a hunt almost identical to this one this year where it took several arrows to finally harvest the deer. Never what we intend or what we would ever wish for, but it’s the follow up that separates the good hunters from great. The commitment to the animal, the dedication to follow through on the hunt and make right. Happy that you guys got the job done.

[@huntingoutdoors1412]

My dad is old school and doesn’t like KZbin at all but I was able to get him to watch seek one with me and now it’s like our thing ya know me and my pops have a tuff relationship but this brings us closer especially when he praises the lord ya know .

[@SeekOneProductions]

This is awesome to read man. Glad we could be a part of that.

[@tomhorgan9605]

You really put in the work man. From one hunter to another I have a lot of respect for the effort you put into each hunt and you earn every deer you get. 👌🏻

[@Floutlaw87]

I just had a similar experience where I made a good broadside shot on a buck, he stumbled and stood there just the same way so I stuffed another one in him, he took off. I had great blood on my 1st arrow and OK on the second. Took me 3 days to find him. That extra shot gave him the adrenaline along with the testosterone levels of rutting buck to get 800 yards. Initial shot was where I had thought it was. Mature bucks are some of the toughest animals alive. I've been contemplating if my 2nd shot was the right thing to do.

[@yoholmes273]

Sucks. 3 days later that sucker was probably rancid. I know that if I leave one out overnight more than likely the Coyotes will get them. So amazing how resilient these animals are. Last year I shot a buck at 50 yards with my crossbow. My shot went straight through both shoulders & both lungs. This deer with no front legs working or lungs to breathe ran 200 yards into the thickest mess known to man. I was on my belly going through to track it. When I found him his entire nose face was pouring out & covered with pink frothy blood. Even with the best shot you just never know.

[@Shooter308]

I checked the comments exactly for a comment like yours . I have watched many many videos and it looked like the deer was going down , then they put another arrow in him and its like he never got shot . I wonder if they just wait and see what happens . But then again I was taught that you always get as many arrows in the deer as possible . I'm 62 and disabled , but if I was ever in a position were I got a good shot and it looked like the deer was going down and I could get another shot, I would hold off and see what happens . The deer would have to be really holding on to stand up . I say it now but who knows what I would do .

[@Floutlaw87]

I have also had bucks where they stood there for 2 minutes after a double lung and I didn't shoot again and the just fall over dead within sight. Patience was the 🔑.

[@craiglandon7571]

"Deer" in general are some of the toughest animals I've discovered. One rifle season years ago my dad shot a doe that dropped. Then like half-hour later he shot another. Shortly after it was the end of hours so he got down checked the 2nd one he shot that was closer (dead) went to the 1st one which he discovered alive. He didn't have his gun since it was after hours so he cut its throat. Then drug the 2nd one back home and ate dinner. Went back after dinner for the 1st deer and he just went to grab it. Well, it jumped up and kicked the crap out of him. It then ran for another 200 yards through the woods. Adrenaline is a heckuva thing. A few years ago we also found a dead buck in the cornfield about 2 months after deer season. Not sure where it came from as we'd never seen it on a camera or anything before or when it got there, but when we found it had been there for a while since it was literally just skin and bones. Well upon investigation we saw it was missing one of its front feet that was then covered in a ball of mud from using it to walk. We assume it got shot off during the rifle season, but don't know for sure. None of the neighbors nearby had shot at it so it would have had to have walked for quite some time.

@@craiglandon7571 when an alien race invaded earth and starts hunting u, u will see how tough and resilient u are u... Youd be surprised what u will do and can endure in ah life and death situation and how far u could push yourself before u just gave up and died .

[@kennygibson1164]

One hell of a buck man, and true woodmanship shown as well

[@kylefrye6265]

It takes dedication when harvesting an animal especially bow hunting, stories like this one happen more often than we want to admit, hunters make bad shots sometimes. I am glad you stuck it out and finally put the deer down. Thanks for sharing!

[@aidanvandegriff]

Man that’s so awesome that you guys shared a three-shot deer. So many pieces have to come together when bow hunting. Thankful that I’m not the only one🤟

[@sethsilverii590]

Man I love you’re channel. Always showing the prep and work that goes into a hunt. You show the challenges along as you’re victories. Awesome content.

[@vernonmcnuttjr.1301]

Congratulations on your big buck 🦌 , Lee .. don’t let that get you down .. one heck of a hunt for sure .

[@bjm8315]

What a great harvest and an awesome show of sportsmanship. As a hunter, you don’t always put the perfect shot on an animal and I love to see someone make such a great effort to do right by the animal. Congrats sir, you earned it

[@FindingSmallWinz]

The passion and respect he has for every animal he harvest regardless of scorable points is truly refreshing to see, this is what a real hunter gatherer looks like, he does everything he can to humanely harvest the animal and shows his full emotion to thank god before even taking part in recovery. Good man good channel

[@garyboyette2907]

Way to go Lee….That first shot looked good enough to me. I’m happy that you were able to finish the job. Awesome.

[@thegeorgiabowhunter7542]

Nice one Lee! You showed a good example by showing the necessity to track slow and take your time for another shot. Always enjoy ya'lls videos.

[@fairchaseoutdoors4181]

You never cease to amaze me, lee. What a journey! Congratulations brother.

[@garybehnken6566]

Kudos on not falling in the water.That is a small kayak for two men and a buck.I always wondered if you could do that or not, without tipping.Had to be real iffy.Cograts on the buck.

[@brianstephenson4575]

hunts dont always go as planed but as long as you are making good memories for instence zeus i freaked out abt how big he was

Awesome story. They aren't always picture perfect but it's always great to see the everything come around in the end!

[@gregorysteele-ok2lg]

So glad you guys are real. Love your videos. I'm 60 and just got into hunting last year. Thanks!!

[@Intimidator82]

This is what drives all of us to be better hunters. We don't ever want to see an animal suffer. We do it best to make sure everything is in good working order and ready for when the time comes. But sometimes it happens, and when it does, what you did Lee is what everyone needs to do. Go in and do what it takes to find that animal, and if necessary, take an extra shot to seal the deal. We are human, and we make mistakes. But what sets us apart from others is we try not to duplicate our past mistakes, but learn from them. Congrats on a great drop tine buck. Looking forward to more hunts!

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Kudos for getting it done in challenging circumstances. It’s not a situation we want as hunters but a reality. I’ve been there myself albeit not a stud like yours. Keep the vids coming mate.

[@michaelyoskey4941]

Looked like 2 perfectly placed shots to me... just shows their will to live! Congrats on getting it done and not letting him suffer!

[@tolt1776]

Neither were good....with his arrow setup...1st was bad forward only one legged it...second shit didn't even penetrate half an arrow. Ig you ain't blowing through a freaking whitetail deer with a compound bow, your arrow setup is fucked...FOC

[@Shados_s550]

I have so much respect for how tough these animals are... what a stud.

[@MrChipper69]

I’m a canadian Was a hunting guide in Canada Moving to Tennessee for work for a couple years Looking forward to bow hunting and fishing and everything Tennessee has to offer.

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Such good advice about the second shot, especially when it comes to elk with a bow. It isn't over until you have your hands on them. Deer and elk can be incredibly tough sometimes. Congratulations on a beautiful buck.

[@mackfinn]

Sportsmanship, great example! Thanks for this.

[@hunterlorance591]

Earlier this season I had a chance on a nice deer, and it took off running. I let down my draw just for him to stop broadside at 30 yards. When you jumped him up to finish him off you did exactly what I should have done so I'm definitely taking notes. Nice deer man

[@justinadams159]

I’ve never gotten lucky enough to be able to put a third one in a deer that I’ve been looking for. Man you got some good luck bro. Nice effort to recover him.

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

Greg Hunt what an awesome story you shared with all of us. What an Epic Hunt.

[@artist_with_a_gun]

This may not have been your cleanest or coolest hunt but its probably the best ive ever seen you put on. This was real hard work and you kept after it. And that Buck to me would be proudest because he made you work for that. He was one tough son of a gun. Awesome stuff.

[@StickNString]

Lee, That first shot looked real good when I first watched it Looked like it broke the opposite shoulder or leg. You put it right in there nice and tight. I figured on the angle it would would have eventually dropped within a few steps, but you made the right call and put another one in him. Great job getting everything on film and keep in pursuing until that buck was down. Congratulations brother.

[@MichiganderOutdoors]

This is a prime example of how you can show the real side of hunting on youtube and not have to create some money grab "uncut" website. Thank you for keeping it real!

[@TheP320Guy]

I love how you guys show it all. Even the shots you're not proud of. Lots of people would have just canceled the episode or did some camera tricks so we wouldn't know what really happened. I started watching you hugs I think 2 years ago and you guys got me wanting to get into bow hunting so bad. Just been trying to save up for a Bow and of course everything else I'll need. It'd be awesome to hunt with you guys. See like fun and just real genuine dudes and it's awesome you guys believe in God and ot afraid to put it out there. I love it when people like you guys can take a platform like this make it high up in the platform and still stay true to your morals your belief in God.

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations Lee great buck. One request; please point out your first two shot placements and their results. Obviously he was mortally wounded but he had more life left in him than I expected when you caught up with him.

[@SeekOneProductions]

First shot was just below heart. Hit a tad lower than I wanted and with the steep angle. Just rushed it. Second shot didn’t get as much penetration as it should have(probably because I shot an expandable). Went into liver and didn’t make it to lung. If it had kept going it would have hit opposite lung and he was have piled up. Final shot went through the heart. He would have died with time from the second shot, but if there was any chance to finish him, we wanted to take it.
