BIG BUCKS CLOSE TO THE ROAD! - Hunt Breakdown | Public Land Bowhunting

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

This is my favorite one because it’s very similar to most of my hunts I take advantage of rd and creek crossing sign! We don’t always have time to go way back! Close drags are my speciality!!!!

[@davidpryor6837]

Counting down the days till Deer Tour '19 !

[@DCS101]

Me too :)

[@dannyneelz2447]

How much longer

[@thenovicehunter3001]

Showing this in ONX is so helpful to transfer your ideas to my situation and maps of my area. Great info

[@tristinhable8326]

You guys should make an in depth video about thermals

[@chadwoodward2402]

Favorite hunting videos on KZbin. Good personalities, great break downs and the best part public land!! Can't wait for the new season guys.

[@amjorgy1]

Crazy I just watched this hunt earlier today and now you guys are braking it down. Probably my 3rd time I've come back to watch this hunt too

[@Billy-f2f]

Still my favorite video of all time from yall. Taught me a lot just from the thought of over looking an area.

[@adamunderwood9176]

Most under rated hunting show out there, "just let it eat" 😂 yes sir. Brutally honest and no gimmicky bs. THP always delivers!

[@stevepalmateer]

I love these hunt breakdowns because just as often as not I see hunts that I missed last year.

[@eggbert191]

As a new hunter your videos are just incredibly valuable and informative. Thankyou

[@irwinkennon805]

Useful info as usual. Dylan added some good content regarding parking and access.

[@gem-n-eye4487]

Your hunt breakdown videos are just as good as the hunts, it would be awesome to see u guys come to Michigan this season there is a ton of public ground and big bucks to be had.

[@craufurdgoodwin3835]

Bowhunting is focusing on a tract of land, narrowing it down to a specific area and then finding that hole to “thread the needle”. Nothing more gratifying than looking at a spot on a huge tract of forest, and finding the hole that’s no bigger than an outhouse (or sometimes a toilet seat) and having the confidence to know that under a recipe of conditions, the forests wisest beast will walk through it. 1st rule in hunting big bucks? know what they’re going to do before they do, and you’re in the money.

[@Dark30Outdoors]

The breakdown of the why and how is really cool! I wish all hunters would more thought into why rather than just tromping through the woods. My best big buck spots are almost always very difficult to get to.

[@ChenagoOutdoors]

I love your videos. My biggest buck taken was about 45 yards off a road on stateland as i was walking to my stand that was maybe 130 yards from the road. Had a chance following fall same stand just got busted on the draw. Alot of people dont realize how good some of those spots are.

[@58BowNut]

I love these hunt break downs! Keep them coming!

[@jasonsparks4601]

I hunt public lands in south Carolina and I sit within a hundred yards of Interstate 26 and kill my limit on bu s usually! We've also had a lot of good luck on gravel road crossings too! Good call on the spot!

[@brandonnapier2117]

Great break down and hunt video. The after shot expression was priceless!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’m always amazed how many big bucks are close to the road! Y’all are doing a great job hunting these overlooked hot spots! Many high fives from McGie Homestead Adventures!!✋🤚

[@markb.1259]

One of my Favorite hunts of Y'alls!!! Proof that nice deer will hide/travel right there in plain sight!!! Thanks for the Break Down!!!

[@dennisknepp1616]

Make the small adjustments that are needed...great advice. 2 years in a row had same thing happen deer came in at ten yards or so and couldn't see it could hear it just not see. So this year I'm moving ten yards in a different tree to see a little more with less cover and see how it goes. You guys make me wanna try this "new" way of hunting. Keep doing what you guys do.

[@russclewley6945]

Awesome hunt! I have watched this video about 4 times and it never loses its excitement!

[@lonniedickerson9257]

Love the breakdown of this hunt, just marked me a spot I have been overlooking near areas I see lots of sign...like light bulb for me...DING!

[@minkmink410]

This was one of my favorite hunts

[@trapperfan6]

One of my fav hunts from last yr it was an amazing video cant wait to see this yrs !!!!

[@EmileeHignite]

It’s getting close y’all can’t wait for this years series you guys are awesome do one of these for the hunt that Zach stalked that buck and had to army crawl 100 some yards to get in bow range through the sand and stuff I love that hunt that one and this one are my favorite

[@paulferraro4781]

This exit music is the best on this video and several others in 2018. Bring it back! BTW EP5 2019 was badass!!

[@twolf1693]

Last season I shot my buck 75 yards off a road on my cousin's property. We noticed it was a popular place for deer to cross and, I believe, there was a bedding area across the road. It was weird watching cars and joggers go by, but the deer didn't mind. You can even see my cousin's house from the stand!

[@clintonbrown3528]

The first time I watched that hunt, I couldn’t believe you showed where you were hunting. Lol

[@ericwolbert3256]

I bet u guys win the public land challenge! U guys r very well rounded hunters! Main thing I try always telling myself is not do what everyone else’ is doing! It helps me think outside the box! Great video as always! U guys rock! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@allentodd5436]

After watching your original video I found a spot similar on a lease im on and deer come through there every day. Can't wait for the season to start!

[@jjoddo4530]

This was a great hunt and a badass shot... my 2 biggest bucks came by when i least expected them to just like this moment.. very much looking forward to this fall and following you guys again

[@Tbowie13]

Ahhh I was gonna get first like and comment...I got beat by 3 seconds. So now that I watched it...lol. You make some great points. I couldn't tell you how many times over the years that we've hunted a property all archery season, and then comes gun season and guys head off from the parking area in different directions than we had been going and a huge buck gets jumped like a pheasant less than 100 yards from the truck. Most of those times when we'd go look where he had been, there was a well established bedding area watching the lot. So it makes ya wonder how many times during those archery seasons that they watched us walk into and out of the woods, and just held tight to those beds. I'm sure it's much more common than we realize with mature bucks!

[@bobbygreen2291]

Arron has that ,,, where did that come from expression ,,, priceless

[@deanbyler5977]

Great vid! I enjoyed the orig hunt too, but always appreciate the extra insights you offer in these Breakdown episodes.

[@craigodem3815]

Great video... again. You guys need to do a season preview video and give us some idea of the upcoming season schedule.... when and where you're going first, etc. New States, locations and such. thanks THP.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

working on it right now!

[@DCS101]

Makes me look forward to hunting for the first time on property I own! And some new public! Gets me fired up :)

[@unclemoe5733]

Have you done a breakdown from the older hunt when Aaron got busted by that huge buck when the milkweed turned in the ditch? If not, that would be one to see!!

[@331slash]

Make a playlist for the breakdowns please. Love them

[@matthewbarylski814]

Love this channel. I've learned so much from watching you guys.

[@bandedcalls]

We have a couple grave yards by us that's all public woods around it we call em grave yard bucks

[@loganhockenberry5026]

I love your guys content but there is no way I can watch yall at work because every time I watch yall I have to go straight to onX

[@nathanglover9334]

My favorite hunt of the year!!!

[@coryeggleston1533]

I dont even have to watch the video to push the like button, 30 days til season in MO. Good luck this year fellas!

[@southeastohiooutdoor]

One of my favorite deer hunts

[@Geekpuncher_ttv]

Two videos ideas I’d like to see are small public hunting areas, and ur video editing process. I love videoing hunts and taking pics, but I really suck at editing and I’m sure there’s more people like me out there. Keep up the awesome content, and hopefully I’ll bump into y’all hunting this fall!!😉

[@michaelfryeii8466]

Here in Wisconsin i have some spots just like that i have guys tell me im crazy there's no big bucks that close to the road i get one every time .great video's keep them coming

[@29Trashman]

Great video guys, wish yous would come to New York and do some hunting

[@noobaquatics3996]

Great videos guys. A lot of people over look them. I killed my first buck(nice little 7 pt) last year on a WMA at 13 yrds, 50 yrds from the road. Just a high travel corridor on a hardwood/pine transition line with a creek at the bottom of the hill. Hopefully the big 6 that was with him will be a big 8 this year and I'll get a crack at him.

[@davidboschetti8560]

You mentioned your arrow was FMJ @ 80 lb. 30.5 arrow. What spine was the FMJ? I am having a hard time finding an arrow as I also shoot 80lb with a 30" draw.

[@randomyetcool1]

can you do a vid breaking down the whole thermals thing? I don't quite understand all of it and it would be super helpful for someone like me who Is always hunting new public land depending on where im at that year

[@blzn04]

Thanks for the Vid! So many questions but ill try to keep it brief. Hopefully yall will have time to reply or maybe someone else can answer. If the thermals in these hubs are not great when the temps rise in the morning are they better to hunt on evening hunts when it cools and drags the thermals back down? Or is it just that rutting activity is better in the mornings so you risk the thermals?

[@panchovilla0690]

From what understood, more I g thermals push scent up. Away from the deer and the hub, once everything equalizes in temp they start to swirl really bad. Evening thermals would dump or pool your scent right to them in the hub

[@TheHuntingPublic]

In our experience, most low spots like thermal hubs are hard to access in the evenings because the deer are bedded up on the ridges watching down below. Easier to sneak in under cover of darkness and then hunt the first few hours of the morning when it's super calm and your wind isn't tumbling over the ridges.

[@blzn04]

@@panchovilla0690 thanks man!

[@blzn04]

@@TheHuntingPublic awesome! Thanks for the clarification. Look forward to implementing it this fall. I spent a few hours on OnX yesterday marking all the potential hubs in my area. Will be checking them out during the rut for hang/hunts

[@kodyberrey1814]

Think aaron should check out the EZ-V bowsight ...neighbor to neighbor I wont HUNT with another sight ...kinda brings me back to traditional bow shooting but with the advantages of a compound

Is that zachs deer from the midwest whitetail where he hunted their beds against crops

[@tannerebersole8715]

Can you do video on clear cuts

[@sidogg4113]

I would like to make a humble request.... could you guys ( if you haven't already ) do a vid or concentrate a little more on the effects of thermals and how the milkweed flows. I'm just learing to use milkweed and learning thermals. Thanks for the great videos fellas.

[@ricomidence2063]

Cant wait to see you guys do Michigan

[@ricomidence2063]

[@cdp50359]

Awesome video guys!

[@Americandream_is_alive]

Keep it up boys. Sept 7 here in Maine. Ewww weeeeee!

[@diggumvt04]

You talk about this place being a thermal hub, when the thermals are falling, but you hunted it late into the AM. So how much did the thermal hub part play into your decision. Thermals may have still been falling early AM before the sun beat down, but you shot this buck well after the thermals would still have been falling right? Correct me where I'm wrong, im just curious of your decision to choose this spot based off it being a thermal hub. Was that just one part of the equation (early morning)... and one of the main other parts being where multiple trails collide?

[@dearrystone5773]

Awesome video n hunt..those over looked spots can definitely produce. 👍

[@dylanfoveaux3256]

Great video! I’m sure y’all are way to busy to respond to many comments but if you see this, can you tell me what hang and hunt set up y’all prefer? Stand and sticks. Thanks for all the content

❤❤❤ The hunt breakdown ! ! I'm learning so much from you guys 👏 How did you guys get so smart at this game??

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Great spot. Nice overview

[@zachtaylor4732]

In that scenario, being so calm and the leaves being so loud and crunchy, do you try to creep in as quiet as possible? Or do you just go for it because it’s gonna be loud no matter how slow you go?

[@mnteamharvest3220]

Love the after shot reactions lol

[@jeremyharmon3008]

I wanna see y’all come down to Oklahoma and chase these crazy deer down here in Cherokee county

[@joshglaubitz6793]

Great break down...I sucked it up a few years ago because of 2 apple trees that were next to the road and the first food source from the beds...hoping to kill a doe at least from the spot this year

[@sawyerbaggett7616]

Within two days, my dad, my cousin,and myself killed three good bucks. This spot was a treestand about 60 yds from the road. It was Thanksgiving weekend and all three of the bucks that were killed were cruising through in the thick of the rut. One buck was actually chasing a doe right before my dad shot him. These spots simply cannot be overlooked. In my opinion, these spots can be great.

[@_jurist]

Tip: if you see deer crossing a road their crossing the road for a reason. Go investigate that area and find out why they’re crossing the road there. I’ve killed a lot of deer within 100 yards of a road. I’ve also killed them way back in the woods. The spots close to the road are the nicest though.

[@toddbranner4630]

What kind of safety harness do you all use?

[@daniel1697855]

To many people feel they gotta be 2 miles or more back into the woods to "get away" from the other hunters which is funny cause thats generaly where most of the other hunters are lol. I love being 50 to 300 yards off the roads cause one its easy in easy out a lot of times theres generaly less pressure and you can normaly see a fair amount of deer.

[@michaelcollins1037]

Great video guys i hunt in VA and literally have a hub of roads in my area that have multiple bedding areas on different sides of the roads I have a stand close enough to the road at one property where I can here people talking when they're slow rolling for deer so I know it happens more than people realize. Does anyone in you group crossbow hunt I do as I've gotten older and it is a different challenge more than I thought it would be thanks

[@TheHuntingPublic]

A few of our friends in Kansas crossbow hunt. We don't but will someday!

[@bobbypennington7025]

What is your trimming method when first going to a setup? Do you trim from the tree with a pole saw or just take what you have? I've seen you guys set up in the dark before.
