Last Friday, I went out with a plan, and another hunter beat me to it. So I took the same concept and applied it to a "less ideal" area of public land. 15 minutes after I settled in, I took my personal best buck! You just never know! Also, I give a lot of credit to THP. They are the reason I was hunting that piece of public, and the reason I set up where I did. Thank you!

[@jordansmith9377]

Ben should be a full time THP member next year - he’d be a good addition to the team.

[@larrypiatt3624]

I agree with you jordan Ben does add to your team,,,,,

[@woodrowpas58]

Hi Ben , Zack and your other buddy,,,, Sorry about not remembering your name,,, :(,,, I appreciate u guys very much,,,I'm old enough to be your daddy,,, Yes,, Im older, 60, and health has become more difficult, and one day would love to hunt one more time. maybe that will come to pass, maybe not... Im a florida native,. Anyway, thank you for allowing me to experience the white tail hunts through you,,, it means the world to me. I am fully aware of all the time you put in for us to enjoy your videos. so to all of you, thank you from the very depth of my heart. Woodrow.

[@burkejones8277]

You will never be lonely hunting there!! But you can always find a way to get away if you try hard enough. And sometimes, people actually help you in the long run.

[@kurtshinn9498]

I ❤ y’all’s Attitude when someone busts up on your hunt , Awesome. There are alot of hunters out there would just quit for the day after that. Soo proud to watch Great hunter’s and Educators like y’all. Totally Awesome Respect ✊ to you

[@flytrueproductions1018]

I don't even care when you guys don't have success in these videos. They are so well done and they show how challenging bow hunting is. Keep up the good work boys!

[@egospice]

One thing I really like about this whole crew is just how damn civil they are towards other hunters!!

[@downdirty8543]

A Winick they really are a kind bunch! Zack has a wonderful disposition and it shows when he confronts other hunters. It’s public and they go over and above to Share the woods! Love it!

[@chrissparks6380]

I didn't think they were that civil in this one. Even making fun of a guy for scent control. Which they definitely shouldn't do being they eat drive and sleep in there camo half the time. They say guys mess them up then they run through the woods. These 2 are the clowns of thp

[@LJOHNS123]

That’s OH public land for you. Tons of hunters. Good luck.

[@richieriley8467]

You got that right places are just pounded anymore in Ohio !

[@timkaldahl]

Hey guys, just wanted to thank you for all the great info. My boundary for the region where I always had antlerless tags moved to the east side of the Big Horn river. The public ground I hunt has about 3 acres on the east side, so I took my kayak in and went across the river for the evening hunt. It is a lot harder to control a kayak with a deer tied behind it, so I wound up floating a mile downstream because I underestimated the current. It all worked out great in the end, and I legally filled my tag without having to drive two or more hours. Gonna have to go back and watch you kayak vids to get a better idea on how to get a deer out though.

[@johncarpenter9228]

I think you guys have the BEST hunting videos, and you do it the hard way, with bow and arrow.

[@loboel264mag7]

Thanks for taking this old man along. Good show guys

[@loboel264mag7]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

[@JayN4GO]

You guys have made my unsuccessful season great. Learned so many things

[@flounderwetspot8524]

I can’t believe it, an actual lunch break ?!? Times are a changing. Lol keep it up boys!

[@michaelhaworth8317]

Even without a deer down , still the best hunting videos around. Great job!!!

[@johnmcmorris1170]

A lot of boot leather and determination. That is what makes the magic happen! Nice job.

[@58BowNut]

2 in one day! YES! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@chrissavva1756]

Love the videos even without a kill they are exciting. Very well done can’t wait for the next.

[@calvinh.8882]

As soon as I saw those planted pines with all that tall grass/weeds between them, I knew you guys were in a good spot. Some of the oldest/largest bucks I've ever seen in my life stayed in planted pines like that.

[@1972davidt]

Only 15 minutes of video! I feel like I have been robbed! You guys are holding out on us. Well, that is why you guys have the best huntin' channel around. You keep us interested, informed, and waiting for the next video! Keep it up guys!

[@garybaker730]

Alot of deer get killed when hunters leave midday to go eat and bump em up, pack lunch and sit tight

[@rondell130]

Great hunt fellas. It's not always about bringing something home, but preparing for the biggun when he strolls through. Your hard work will pay off.

[@HuntFishFlorida]

Would y’all ever consider doing a video on how THP came about? How y’all met, and how y’all afford to hunt so much and so many different places? I can’t be the only one wanting to see that video.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Hunt Fish Florida for sure! Probably around Christmas time

[@TheHuntingPublic]

And please remind us!

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

Way to keep at it guys!!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!!

[@tompanetti75]

Nice country. You fellows got my attention. Great to see smart hunting footage, by serious deer hunters. Best regards.

[@dannyrutherford7692]

Man I'm glad Im blessed to have a good amount of private land. Really love to watch the challenges you guys face. Hope you boys get a good one. Can't wait .

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Danny Rutherford thanks

[@daveyboy8907]

Good times with a ol buddy...You can`t beat that,,deer or not..

[@kimzengly]

Speed limits 35, them guys hauling butt on foot. Lol

[@abeyoder2631]

Great, great, great, job guys. This is hunting the real way. Not some limited access property with food plots strategically placed to take advantage of every wind direction. I would like to know what kind/ pattern of Ghillie suit you would recommend. I hunt exclusively in Ohio. Thank you and keep banging the drum. splitbrowstickers

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Abe Yoder Thanks! It’s a Bushrag suit. Not sure if they even sell them anymore to be honest.

[@hunterdolanch8725]

"he's not practicing scent control" lmao I love me some good humor

[@andrewe7165]

Heck. Yes! This just made my day! Keep the videos coming guys!!

[@uvcoach42]

Looked like a Hereford bull running across the road I had to zoom in and decrease playback speed. Damn nice buck

[@DontjeB]

9am on the firearm opener this year in our Michigan public land piece, and I get another hunter walking right through my prime bedding areas. I had 7 different bucks (three 8 pts) on film as recently as the week before. We just wrapped the season up and never had any more action in that location. Nothing on the hoof, no pics/videos, and no sign. That's living the public land life though.

[@henrymilz9942]

Ben reminds me a lot of DJ Qualls lol. Love the videos keep them coming!

[@darrelllogan1274]

Looks like ya'll are getting close. Hope you score soon. 🤞

[@matthewsims359]

Thats one of the many things that i like about this channel. Even if you dont get a kill, you still show us the HUNT. Isnt that what its really all about. Kill or not, this channel is fun, just like when i hunt, if i dont kill, its still fun to be out hunting. Excellent job of keeping it real THP

[@mclainmk]

Look forward to every new video. You guys are the best.

[@tgentry08]

Always great videos!

[@johnkirkbride9750]

These look like my old stompin grounds out in the old AEP lands out by Unionville out Route 78... good luck out there it's hard hunting and you have to pack it in and sleep in your tree stand overnight if you want the monsters that are out there

[@joshrodgers564]

Ah! The good ol' Amish van! Trailer and all! 😂

[@downdirty8543]

That hunter bout had a Zack attack!! Lol! Kill in’ it boys. I really wanna come hunt with you.

[@brismanwhite5391]

Great video, I've watched a lot of different youtube hunting videos, Randy Newberg, Hush, Born and Raised Outdoors, etc. You guys make the best non-successful videos which are the real challenge.

[@uvcoach42]

I bet a Montana decoy would be worth hauling in to these parcels

[@jonst.9304]

Y’all sure that big deer y’all saw wasn’t a cow? My goodness that thing was large!!!

[@keithonstott7477]

Happy Thanksgiving guys. You guys hunt like me and my father. (Mainly Zack and the ghillie and out of the box spots) I have learned some valuable tips from your channel. Hope you guys have an amazing Thanksgiving. God bless and good hunting.

[@HuntingFlorida]

Lmao at that 35mph clip .

[@samshepherd9252]

Good luck in ohio excited to see what happens!

[@dannystarliper1915]

Love it. Can’t wait for the kill🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

[@andychambers3621]

You be surprised how much a cigar will cover your sent. Especially in a blind. They aren't frightened by it like cigarettes. It's more of a natural wood burning smell to them. I had an accomplished wildlife photographer tell me that is how he started getting close up picks of big bucks.

[@JE-tz4sh]

Pretty sure that big buck running had a broken leg or something wrapped around his front legs. Tough hunting will payoff. Keep up the hard work guys. 👍

[@davidshedaker1500]

Love the show guys. question for all the THP crew especially the ground spot and stalk guys.we all know playing the wind is key but inevitably it will swirl or a deer will slip down wind.what if any cover sents do u guys use and have luck with?skunk?Fox pee?sent waffers?

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks! We don't use any scents

[@jasonphillips73]

It looks like Ohio public has more pressure than the public here in NY. You guys are seeing a lot more big bucks than you do here on NY public though.

[@garyjensen2910]

a passing hunter is not always a bad thing. sometimes they will appear after they pass.

[@HUNTBREATHEFISH]

COME TO TEXAS PUBLIC LAND!! WANNA LEARN FROM YALL AS YALL ARE LEARNING YOURSELVES!!

[@pystalker]

Yall woulda had to quarter and pack that 320lbs+ beast out! Wow!

[@outdoorfrk6432]

You boys should come up to Ontario eh, i'll take you out to some public land for you to film for a few days. 3000 acres and there are some big bucks kicking around. Just don't come on a Saturday cuz it's a zoo just like this episode. Love the show keep up the good work.

Maybe someone else asked this and I missed, but how many thousands of acres is that place, seems like a lot of hunters in there.

[@zackmansky6632]

Really enjoy your channel. Watching team hunting other states it’s sad to see how Ohio does not appreciate its resident hunters. 3 videos in Ohio and how many deer have you seen? Seems like more hunters than deer.ODNR has ran the public land deer herd into the ground with ridiculous tag limits and cheap non resident license. Really like how Iowa prices nonresident tags and has lottery system.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Being from Ohio and now being a resident of Iowa I would much rather live and hunt in Ohio. The challenge of learning an area that has actual hunting pressure is fun and realistic to the majority of public land hunters across the US. I like that non residents can come hunt. I love Ohio. I’d take it over Iowa any day. - Zach

[@johndenver5029]

@TheHuntingPublic so glad you said that. I'm planning my first ohio hunt from north carolina. Your videos are what got me to commit. You guys are living the dream. Planning on getting in to south east ohio a few days b4 the sept 24 opener to get some boots on the ground. Can't wait to make you boys proud lol. How is the pressure on opening week of archery?

[@drewhatcher8662]

Haha 35 mph must run that speed

[@JohnRobinson_Oklahoma]

I was hunting public in oklahoma deep in, working a huge srape and rub line when around 7:30 am 6 other hunters just walk in right by me moving up wind. I said hi, they started talking shit to me. I couldn't figure how they got that far back with that much gear. They somehow gained access and drove most of the way. I think on private side. So I set up to play them bumping deer. (Note: Don't talk shit to someone if you don't know who you are talking to.)

[@jackhalchak1338]

I live in Akron Ohio and I just recently started to hunt public land due to not being able to acquire private land permission. I would love to know your secret on how to find good public land hunting areas. I haven't had any luck on public land. If you could give me any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I am frustrated to the point of almost ready to call it quits.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Most public areas we find have got good hunting on them somewhere. Obviously some are better than others but we always seem to key in on bedding areas. The thicker the better in many cases. Sometimes spots like this can be right off the road but an area that most hunters have overlooked. Try to think outside the box and do something different than the rest of the people. Access a different way, hunt at different times, use their hunting pressure to push deer your direction, etc. Don't give up. Public land hunting is too much fun!
