South Dakota Spot and Stalk - Shooting Bedded Buck

[@ThewolfJj]

These videos are phenomenal, and the utmost respect to you guys for finishing the job with as much compassion for the deer and as much respect for the land owners as possible in the cold. THP is the best hunting channel on KZbin. Period.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

^^^Purdy much sums it all up right there ^^^

[@danielweber237]

Congrats to Jake, Zach and the THP team for delivering yet another great hunt! A quick shout to those landowners and neighbors who kept Jake moving ahead on those follow-up hunts. Their assistance does not happen every day. I hope they are able to view the footage and see their trust in Jake shows all the good in permission hunting!

[@brianwolfe3005]

Absolutely my favorite hunting channel and videos like this are why. Jake’s heart for the sport, the animals, and the land owners is an example for every young hunter and Zach’s exuberance and happiness for his buddy are what you hope for in a hunting partner.

[@brianco2145]

The best part about your videos is that they are real! Lost gloves, freezing your butts off. It takes me back to the days all my buddies and I spent every minute we had out hunting. I love it!! Thank you guys!

[@thedriftlessdrifter]

That was an absolutely awesome hunt. Lesser sportsmen may have given up. What a great example to set and a lesson to keep after him and keep your foot on that aggressive peddle you guys are known for! Well done.

[@dennishorn4430]

That pic of him at full draw in the sunset and the deer jumping the fence would make for an awsome tshirt or hoodie.

[@torisglory4god]

This is why we L❤️VE watching THP, this is real hunting!!! All these mainstream hunting shows have left the average hunter to chase every sponsor they can!! Our hats off to you guys, never leave us average hunters. We L❤️VE y’all!!

[@jaked7976]

Love Zach’s shenanigans while he’s by himself!

[@BigDeer148]

When you and Zack get together y’all always have the most fun and excited hunts. Love y’all videos God Blessed y’all and be careful and safe out there

[@corymacneil3206]

Epic! I don't know which was better Jake's grin, Zach's commentary and antics or the kill shot in the sunset. Well done, boys!

[@russellwatters5891]

It's the right thing to do to harvest the animal humanely, and as quickly dispatched as possible. Kudos for the extra effort, and thanks to the landowners who graciously understood. Love what ya'll are doing, please keep it up!

[@jamesvatter5729]

There are so many things I appreciate about this channel, but number one is the pure honesty. Even to the point of mentioning the lost glove. Not a bunch of remakes and "Well, he got to private so he's gone." Congrats, Jake and Zach! Your respect for landowners serves the hunting community well.

[@jws-fi7jj]

I love Zach’s Southern accent when sitting alone. He hid the multiple Bush Lights quite well, I must add.

[@Akilles3]

The sound of that frostbiting wind alone makes me cold. 🥶 Well done fellas! Also, Zach gets me pumped when he's pumped.

[@Smokezors]

Jake and Zach are top tier deer 🦌 stalkers! I always leave surprised with their stalking plays and success rate! What awesome footage! Thank you boys!

[@gwhunt1023]

That’s as real as it gets! Great sportsmanship to keep after him…get permission…and do it all as right as you can. Do not hang your head…you earned that buck! Thx for honestly sharing all of this!

[@garyboyette2907]

Cool hunt. Glad that you stayed on him and finished the job. Nice that the landowner understood and let you finish.

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

I’m glad you fellows have “stick-to-It-ness”! And glad your truck has heat!

[@taylorjackson7908]

Your persistence and getting proper permission to pursue is paramount! Thanks for showing everyone the right way to do it.

[@robinmiller4770]

Guys, it's been a rougher year than normal compared to last year but thanks for hanging in there and keeping with it. Takes a lot of dedication as determined deer hunters for sure. Keep up the great videos for The Hunting Public!!!! For sure next year will be even better!!!!

[@huckhuckhuck]

You did the right thing by sticking with it. Super glad the land owners gave permission because that was a freaking awesome view to watch. Congrats.

[@giddyupoutdoors275]

I’ve been hunting deer for 30 years and this year I finally killed a late bow season buck in NY… it’s a rare feat! Great job men!

[@F14Goose37]

I love how animated Zach gets when he is excited.

[@Kurtdog63]

Wow. Way to stay after it, and with a bow for a follow up shot, in open country like that. Jake's a rock star.

[@dennisknepp1616]

Just shot my 3rd deer of the season on January 8th. A nice doe at 20 yards. First time filming and got it all on film. You guys inspired me to try to film especially on self film hunts. Great job on the deer Jake. 🦌

[@johnbugenske865]

Stellar hunt footage there team Zach and jake! A lot of things to learn and information in this video especially if you break it down into sections. Getting the first shot. Analyzing that shot and tracking. Bumping the deer but staying on him. Getting permission to track on private. Moving in for the finisher. That buck was lethally hit....just how far he traveled after the hit is a great lesson. Really sucks when we don't get that double lung nicked the heart 10 seconds crash, but you guys did everything perfect after that didn't happen! Congrats!

[@miket926]

Zach is an all around stand up guy rooting on Jake like that. You guys are the best

[@markwaldroop9729]

I loved this hunt!! Zach talking to himself, and laughing, and talking to himself in odd voices, and laughing, had me cracking up!! Man that dude is funny

[@evanjarvi406]

The phone footage from the spotter scope with sunset looks reminds me of a whitetail adrenaline footage,congrats on the buck Jake and "the Zack Attack"! We need Zack bloopers or compilation of his goofiness talking to himself.

[@timothyknutsen5212]

What a great thing you did Jacob! And that was great footage Zach! You two are money. When you two get together for a stalk, good things happen. Like when you guys stalked in on that large 8 pointer on that windy river bottom and Zach's shot was within 10 yards in S. Dakota? Zach yells "Jacob" and Jake said "look at you". Like I said, good things happen.

[@weekender38]

Persistence paid off with a nice whitetail. CONGRATS and good job making the best ending possible under the circumstances.

[@Archery116]

Jake, there's no reason to apologize or explain your actions. I can only imagine the negative feedback from the "experts" that you guys get at times. Nice job, those conditions were horrible. Every hunt is different, every situation is different. A guy just makes the best decision he can from his past experiences, along with compassion and admiration for the animal.

[@MrAjmajm]

Very exciting episode fellers. Good shootin Jake! Zach crackin me up!!

[@bjmgolf3651]

Jake, great perseverance in getting that buck ! Excellent footage from long range Zach ! Another awesome Hunting Public video!

[@deangray3727]

Love Zach’s commentary

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations Jake, that is some tough hunting when it gets that cold. Way to keep after him. You guys are awesome. I love to see y'alls videos pop up.

[@mikejay8572]

I have always been thankful for your self imposed limits on shot choices. I have heard you guys discuss limiting shots to clear and short range opportunities. I applaud. However it appears to me that on spot and stalks you have a tendency to extend your range. I don't applaud. I believe bow hunting is meant to be a close range hunt (25 yards or less). Longer ranges produce a much lower percent of good shots. Please don't be willing take poor shots because they are as good as you think you can get. You guys have a stage and influence many hunters, people think it's ok to take risky shots based on what they see and hear other hunters doing or not doing. Thanks. Good luck. I do appreciate you guys. You are a class act. God bless you.

[@underdogoutdoors]

South Dakota is such a beautiful state, so many places to go and get away from crowds. The hunting is good too.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Congratulations Jake and Zach for a great series and keeping after it hard work in those frigid temps!!! Way to go!!

[@baconator754]

Way to stick with it guys. Way too many others would’ve shrugged it off and tried for another. Good on those farmers too for letting you go after him. This is the way it should be.

[@chrishoglo3761]

Great job and way to stick with him. The cold weather reminds me of gun hunting, in a blizzard, in the Badlands of ND. Cold hands and good memories!

[@ScottWConvid19]

What a blessing that man was. Great job keeping after that buck. So glad to see you put him down and recover it

[@tedf7843]

Jake AKA "Ditch Shitter" Always a hard wait for new content! Good Luck Guys closing out the season last week for me Final Firearm and Bow seasons close Sunday in Illinois.

[@philipmedlin8902]

Jake by far Trumps all of the others . Hell of a hunter. Grewt Job Jake.

[@neotoxo54]

Thank you for allowing us to live the hunt vicariously. Great experience! Good on you for sticking with it. 👍👍

[@hangerfour]

Zach should be full time cameraman/spotter. The long distance hype up was real.

[@timvangorder1836]

Super ethical pursuit of that deer! Great lesson for all hunters to hear.

[@Tom-uy3lt]

You guys are NUTS! But I really enjoy watching you guys hunt. Pure dedication to the sport. Nice follow up to get that buck.

[@lizmbrad]

Way to keep after it and not allow the animal to suffer. Good job boys!!!

[@kevinfoster5561]

Great video and determination, I appreciate the ethics of the hunt. Never giving up and working through an extremely tough season. Can’t wait until Turkey season!

[@gregchatham3890]

Congrats Jake, Nice buck! Definitely some really cold weather and not what I’m used to, way to finish it and thanks to the landowners!

[@mot0rhe4d40]

Congrats Jake. Good job keeping on em. Now you all get home safe.

[@npinizzotto]

Great job, guys. I was on pins and needles during those stalks. On top of that, I know what those temperatures feel like in the Dakota’s so that was way tougher than most people realize.

[@geteven3107]

well done boys! Thats one of those bucks on the wall(euro mount of course) that you point to while explaining to a good friend...and say I cant come closet's expelling how effing cold it was that day...That whole effing trip. I used to pheasant hunt in SD between.chrisymas and the NY. BONE CHILLING!

[@chrismayer7762]

My 1st archery deer ever was 31 December 1983 in the black hills of SD.... I have had the "misfortune" of sticking 2 others in December.... the weather can be brutal and not conducive for long sits in a tree stand!!

[@timjackson9552]

Awesome Jake!! You guys have had to work even harder this year and it’s paying off. Keep hammering. Zach you are a natural but we need to see you in more videos.

[@southdakotasaved126]

Great hunt, I agree, stay after it in open country and finish the job if you can. Zach, you are completely insane, you could always do standup between hunting seasons to make a few extra bucks! 🤣😂🤣

[@spartacusantipas4580]

Good job fellas. Dealing with the cold and awesome that the land owners were friendly !!

[@morrisonjohnw]

Honestly I stopped watching y’all this year after another failed hunting season out west here. Just feeling bitter. I’m going to hop back into the start of your season and check the videos out, though. I carry a huge appreciation for what you guys do, showcasing your passion and ethics for the hunting community. Keep up the good work, boys!

[@argyledog1004]

Persistent and respectful! Congratulations Jake ! Thanks for great video about not giving up! Great video THP

[@a13xm8]

That was absolutely amazing. Hunting with a bow is so hard and these things happen, we all go through it unfortunately... love to see how you boys kept after him and finished the job, so great! Thank you so much for this content Jake, Zach, and the rest of THP!

[@codywilber6885]

Thank you for inspiring me to bring xtras of all the little things in the cold. Like gloves.

I can’t think of a more deserving guy than Jake. Awesome hunt!

[@ajorelli6875]

Thanks for sharing the whole hunt. So nice to see someone follow through after a bad hit. I have had done something similar on a archery hunt in Ohio, and had to make a follow up shot. I feel like it you hunt hard with archery equipment it’s just a matter of time until a hunter finds himself in this same scenario. Way to go Jake, great video!

[@gamedinnah]

Fantastic job sticking with that buck. Very well done.

[@aaronhall765]

Congratulations Jake. Man that's cold. 81 degrees here in Hawaii.

[@williamdavis8513]

Way to go. Did nearly the same thing in SD. Buck moved and he ended up hip shot. Dogged him for five hours. Bumped and missed him five times. What a circus … but I got him.

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Great job Jake Is love the persistence and hard work that you that you achieved to finish him off and harvest your trophy congratulations brother
