[@drewzick241]

Greg is honestly one of the most underrated and overlooked whitetail hunters on social media. He consistently gets close to mature deer and closes the deal, but seems to be completely fine with letting others have the spotlight. He's the type of dude you'd love to have in camp with you. Congrats, Greg!

[@Scott-Witter]

This is very true, he may be behind the scenes when the young 'bucks', are in the spotlight, but when it's his turn and with his many more years of experience, he gets it done time and time again. A BIG Congratulations Greg, very deserved!

[@archeryonly5629]

Their are people that hunt, then their are people that are killers! Greg is stone cold killer! Awsome job as always

[@JimRyser]

Greg is indeed that guy...always happy to give the spotlight to others.

[@josephmedlin428]

Yes I was kind of disappointed greg had little to do in the public challenge apparently he was in camp editing daily videos for us to enjoy. I'm glad he got his time in the woods as I always especially enjoy his hunts. I really enjoy the kill vids but u learn from and enjoy the ones where there's no harvest as well, that's why this is by far my favorite hunting channel. Perhaps you guys could have a post season video measuring the racks? I know score is not really important, but I'm from nc and our deer are much smaller body wise so it would be a good comparison to see how a deer of similar measurements looks on a differently sized body. I'm planning a few out of state hunts and I'm a little worried about judging size. I'd hate to pass on something that looked smaller than it was just because I'm not used to such huge bodies on deer.

[@garrettw9981]

Definitely but they all do! These guys are way more entertaining than the outdoor channel!

[@matto.5093]

When Greg looks down at Gooch’s legs and just smiles. That makes the video.

I couldnt agree more

Thats an awesome decoy hunt.. but boy i love the story of u cutting out a cardboard deer decoy and pull off killing a buck with your dad. U should post that video up if u still have it. Congrats...

Greg is a good man and a great ambassador for the sport.

The Jitters by Gooch. Just tie antlers down to Gooch's leg and you'll be rattling for sure

[@jonathanpittman9210]

Man what a great video the sun hitting the buck and seeing all the hair briseld up on his back amazing. You guys are second to none love watching everyone of you videos

[@ericfloyd9842]

Greg, listening to you breathe reminds me that it is REAL for you guys. Keep it real. Thank you guys for great content!

[@RenegadeBeef]

That deer came in looking pissed off... he wasn’t paying any attention to you guys!! Great work and a beautiful buck!

[@osvaldoreyes9323]

Thought the same thing. He was like: "Another guy needs a lesson!"

[@Orr_s]

So puffed out, ready to destroy that decoy in a second lol awesome footage

[@muskogeefisherman]

Butchering an old doe I took from a feed tree in Louisiana while I watch THP. Life is good today. There's something about it when Greg gets one.

[@swarktv199]

Excuse my ignorance but what is a feed tree?

[@muskogeefisherman]

@@swarktv199 look up The Hunting Public podcast with Warren Womack (I hope spelled his name right) on Google and start there. I think Zach did 2 podcasts this summer. It's a long podcast but well worth it. Warren is an unknown southern deer hunter but has 50 years of deer hunting knowledge.

[@muskogeefisherman]

But the short answer for a feed tree or area is a spot where deer, squirrels, raccoons, and everything else know where that's the best hard or soft mast off a tree is at during a particular time in the fall or winter. I've been hunting Louisiana for 5 years now and didn't know how to find one until 3 weeks ago. I've seen them before but didn't know it.

[@swarktv199]

muskogeefisherman 10/4. Thanks

I’m only 12, my dad doesn’t hunt simply because he isn’t interested in it, but my uncle in big on hunting and I decided to watch some hunting videos for a little more information I guess. this channel is perfect for it, take a subscription.

[@zack_rides_bmx]

thats how i got into it, go with your uncle until comfortable and grow enough to make it happen alone if necassary, good luck!

That’s hilarious!! It could be the THP’s first IG reel or TikTok 😂😂🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

[@kevinfailing9824]

I’ve watched everyone of the thp videos and I’ve been rewatching the episodes. My grandma passed this last weekend and hunting was a big part of her life as well as all of my family. These rewatched episodes are what’s been getting me through this week thank you so much for the content.

Gooch gets excited more than the hunter does. Way to go guys

[@michaellavazza960]

Can we send gooch our hunting hats for him to bless w some of that luck!

*2 seconds after arrow hits* “GOT HIM!!” Love seeing Greg get this excited! And of course you gotta love old Shaky Legs Gooch too!

[@codylayne1955]

I absolutely love how Gooch gets so hyped after the shot when he isn't even the one who shot. Shows how much of a team effort they put forth. Keep them coming boys!

Congratulations to Myndi s husband!!!! Way to go Greg! You know those ears are the biggest factor!! God Bless u all!

[@charleslucas9582]

Time to get Gooch on one! He's definitely earned it. Great hunt and footage as always. Congrats Greg

[@Shooter308]

I've been watching older videos and its like watching them for the first time . Greg is such a Humble man with a Beautiful intelligent wife . Greg surely knows how to hunt the big deer . Gooch is awesome too . Seeing his legs shaking was just to funny and shows how real hunting is . Gooch is definitely going to be a big part of T.H.P. Another awesome thing is the way everyone comes to help . Such a Humble thing to see . I know this is a older video but in the future it might be a good idea to tie something orange on the decoy , they have orange tape you could just tie on the antlers .. There are some really stupid people out there . And seeing antlers makes hunters react very excited and stupid . Thank you for sharing .

[@mongolloyd5236]

Great shot. As a wise man once said, you "put it right where it goes"

[@bradleysnyder555]

Congrats Greg. Spending all that time in the camper at the BearClaw, you and Myndi deserve this buck.

Awesome to see the camera “guy” shaking so much!!! Beautiful deer

I must have watched this video four times , and each time I watched it , it gets better . The way Ethans knees was shaking was something too see . I haven't been able to hunt in a long time . I'm disabled and it would be really hard to get into the woods . Living in Florida is so different from New Jersey . I miss being in the woods . Great hunt guys .

That's a Giant Greg. Congrats man. Brought that dude right up from his bed probably...well done. Good decoy placement

[@kensalazar5066]

Tim White, This was a GREAT hunt, especially since it was on public land and a ground hunt with really no cover. Not trying to take anything away from all that, but not a giant by any means. Its a really nice buck, not a giant. BTW, the deer in my area hone into the EXACT location of the source of the sound. Its 50/50 on whether or not the decoy would be enough to distract from the sound location..a great shot here as well, deer didn't go far at all...
