RUTTING BUCKS in a SNOWSTORM! - DOES SNOW CAMO WORK???

The biggest "scumbag" move in bow hunting is "Not Punching" your tag after you hit and wound an animal! And it's not the first time this dude has done it! Videoing hunts on "Public Lands" for personal profit $, needs to be outlawed.

[@JimBowSlice]

@@hur6622 why are you here then? Are you a hunter? You must make perfect shots every time? The deer lived after he shot it. A real scum bag thing to do is talk down on people that are making the hunting community better as a whole. More knowledgeable hunters in the woods. But I'd guess a guy like you wouldnt even take time out to teach a kid the ropes

Love seeing you guys hunt my home state and all the lovely conditions winter has to offer up here! The trick is to not bring you firearms or archery gear into the heat, just keep it covered up outside. I missed an opportunity at the biggest deer I've ever seen when I was 16 to a frozen up 30-30. Moisture will condense on the cold steel and freeze promptly when you go back outside. It's a mistake I'll never make again. Thanks for giving MN some love!

[@waynebrown7700]

That was a stud! That kind of stuff happens in the quest to take a mature buck. That's why they call it hunting and why we continue to pursue them. Keep after them guys.

[@thomaswehr7822]

[@groundrootsoutdoors627]

Don’t take this the wrong way but Zach I’m so glad you put that video out. I have had a year from hell so far this season and needed to see this. Thank you. I have done this to 3 deer this season and was ready to hang up the bow. Again, thank you guys.

[@stivey79]

I think hunting with snow camo is really beneficial. I like to use it to sneak through the woods to a treestand if you aren't wearing it the deer can definitely pick you out of the snowy woods. I've not used it for stalking but would think it would help. I know you want to keep your scent to a minimum but I would recommend using a drop of Break Free CLP on your release. We used it in the military on our weapons because that stuff will not freeze up. I'm confident it will fix your issue.

[@bentpolski]

Zach and Nick perfect together!

Love the vid and Nick is great. Glad you got closure on your earlier buck. Arrow went through the shoulder blade, wonder what internal organs were hit. With the frozen release, THAT WOULD SUCK and be exciting at the same time. Wonder if a little shot of WD40 would help the freezing up. We use it to keep out reels and guides from freezing up winter steelhead fishing. Have had in the single digits and keeps the ice off for a while. Look forward to the next vid guys. Good luck

[@codywilber6885]

I hunt with the doe version in alot of CRP. I can stay upright up to about yards before crouching and mimicking of deer front leg motions need to start. Within 20yds any small movements like ear flicks or quick face turns that don’t happen with the decoy will alert them. All this is in clear to moderate weather. Those decoys work, but take some playing around to find the limits.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

Hunting in my home state & the only state I hunt in. I actually washed my snow camo 2day after 5+" of it yesterday. The last day of November would have been worse than that weather earlier in the month. By the end of that video I had another reason I have a thumb release that I keep in perfect working condition in my pocket while I keep my Firstlite gloves tucked away in my choppers that r around my waist. Maybe you'll get another chance @ that droptine buck when Nick says he won't walk in front of u again! Keep your head up Zach.😉

I dumped the wrist release about four years ago and went to a thumb release. No more trying to clip on in the heat of the moment. It stays on my loop at all times and hasn’t failed me once. I remove the thumb button and basically shoot it like a back tension release. My accuracy went up as well.

Little tip, wear snow camo pants and fall camo top, you'll blend in way better in brushy or forested terrian all snow camo if its field with no hedgerows. Deer see white hence the name whitetails as they're flaggn all they're cousins that elmers in the woods.

I remember the Hunting Beast tell a story where he needed some help and a duck hunter told Dan, “Hunters help hunters.” The beginning of the video is sort of a twist on that, but help nonetheless. On a different note, 17 degrees is cold and 1 degree is rediculous.

[@Kurtdog63]

I have found that it is better to have light colored camo on the bottom and darker on top. Ground cover, fallen leaves, weeds, corn stalks, and snow are light colored and low or at the ground level. Tree limbs, pines, cedar trees, honeysuckle all dark colored and higher off the ground. High winds and low temps looked rough for hunting, but you know what they say, bad weather can mean good hunting.

[@mohunter68]

I always loved bohunting in the snow. I have a great set of snow camo coveralls and a full white head/face mask and have snuck up on so many animals it's unreal. Got within 10yrds of a bedded doe once and when she popped up she looked at me like I wasn't even there, just quietly walked away.
