Whitetail Bums | Texas Public Land Bow Hunting Double!

[@daynat15]

Whitetail bums is my fav!! 🤭🤭🔥🔥

[@fgb3126]

2:51 well yeah I was just thinking, this guy was totally exposed on that minimalist tree stand. You need some vegetation around you not bare trunk above and below you. Of course the buck saw you. "Heartbreaker"? Come on man! You're breaking your own heart with a tree stand like that one.

[@lukehoeft7420]

My first buck wth a bow in Texas was EXACTLY 13 inches. I know exactly how that feels to risk it. He scored 125 and some change. He was just wasn't very wide. When I measured his inside spread I finally started flipping out haha

People don’t realize there is literally next to no public land to hunt in Texas so nice job

[@Jefestephens]

Turns out there’s a lot more than most people think! It’s just such a small percentage because Texas is *HUGE* !

Texas and Oklahoma have little to no public it blew my mind when I went up north and realized how much public land they had 😂

[@Nomorehandlenames9230]

@@Jefestephens1 million acres, yes, but most of it’s not even walk-in hunting. You have to be drawn.

@@maj3stikq122after moving from New York where I grew up hunting public land for turkey, deer and ducks to Texas, I realized just how good I had it in New York..

I hated, HATED, the 13" rule here in East Texas when it first came out. I was like a lot of ppl, thinking, "they just don't get that big here". But now that it has been in place for several yrs, I have taken some really nice bucks. BIggest to date is 150 6/8". It is doing some good. Great video guys. Love y'all being in East Texas!

[@nadermilite5652]

Are you using gun or archery, and do you if the area in this video is archery only?

[@texasson]

I have no idea exactly where they are in this video. But I believe most public land is archery or gun, unless it's bow only season. I mainly hunt on private family land and a lease that I'm on. I do hunt national forest in other counties if I tag out in my primary county, and I typically only hunt bow on the national forest.

[@nadermilite5652]

@@texasson most of them are gun or archery but I've found archery only areas on the tpwd map i don't remember if it's in the east though might be in central Texas.

[@JR-rn5sh]

We have an 18" rule in arkansas for walleye...well that also applies to spearfishing. I got busted with a 17.5" walleye and got a dang 200 dollar ticket.

What public you on?

[@maj3stikq122]

Lol my guy was running like bullets were flying at him😂

[@lukehoeft7420]

I’m curious why you were apologizing and saying “I couldn’t pass him.” You have no reason to explain yourself. We hunt for days and days to eventually kill something and take it home. You should be proud. Well done.

[@Bobby.Fairways]

Great video guys but noticed your carabiner wasn’t locked up in the tree. May want to consider auto locking IMO

[@vicscudder6983]

Is bow hunting the only thing going on ? If you really believed you were being shot at would you take your orange off and hunt off the ground ?

[@ruralacres]

best content ive seen come from east texas - congrats

[@maj3stikq122]

This is a bad ass video

This video is awesome! Congrats to all you guys and hell of a first buck Eric.

[@joshcatanzaro6220]

Man that was awesome 😎

[@ha_t_ha]

Ya those antler restrictions can be annoying, but just remember its in place to help manage age classes in the population (decreases number of young deer harvested so they can have higher numbers of more mature deer)

[@Chad_Rusher]

Awesome job guys congratulations 🎊

[@chrischeatham5118]

Good stuff guys!.. I’m going after my first Texas buck also and my first buck ever! Hopefully I can get it done.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

I want to see a necropsy on this buck. How the heck did the arrow end up so far back when the shot looked like it was right in the boiler room?

[@tray22]

I was wondering the exact same. Supposed to be tucking the arrow right up to the leg, but not that one.

[@bryanroberts]

Definetly looked way forward compared to that blood

[@kyleskaggs7458]

Could have been more forward on the entrance side then hit a rib and ricochet possibly

[@bboy25-]

🙌🏼

[@corpsmind5920]

No one ever did anything about the shooter? Dude that’s jail time. Clearly meant to scare the kid

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations to the camera guys, getting it done. Keep em coming.

[@Boogercountybow]

Tell me if I'm wrong but weren't these hunts put out last year as well? Great hunts none the less. I like some reruns!

[@bgengler30]

Yeah, the restrictions for 13 in wide is kind of weird in my opinion. I get why they're doing it to get more mature deer. But here Missouri for antler restriction is, has to have four points on one side. That makes it a lot easier when trying to quickly make a decision.

[@southernslipping4225]

[@kyleskaggs7458]

Congrats fellas great job. Is greg shooting an amplify?

[@justinadams159]

Didnt know texas had public

[@nikolasshay3294]

In East Texas it's all Public. Because nobody respects private property or boundaries. So to be honest I actually prefer hunting the big tracts of public land that we have because most people are too lazy to go in as far as I will and they are too busy driving and poaching from the roads at night or trespassing to actually put in the work on the public

[@justinadams159]

@@nikolasshay3294 wow. Sounds similar to Michigan where I am from! We have lots of public but tons of trespassing and road hunting. Its a shame

[@central_tx_hunter7994]

It’s nothing like Michigan. Im from there too - there’s literally 1% of Texas land that’s public in Michigan it’s like a ton more

[@findingfarmerben]

Awesome video! Where in East Texas are yall?

[@timcochran9019]

Great Video! Maxed out the "Dude"-Meter, though!!!! 😃

[@southernslipping4225]

You need a grunt call lol

[@Dylan_Hansen]

niiice!

[@joshuaclark5796]

Omg Eric!! Was that a duck call??

[@southernslipping4225]

A lot of public land deer are use to locating people from the sound of you using the grunt are bleat

[@southernslipping4225]

How do you measure that deer lol

[@andrewbahr1921]

so we just gonna brush past the three shots at you? what the hell do yall think happened, poor sighted hunter, or crazy landowner with a gun?

[@TheElementWild]

We believe it was someone shooting on private group carelessly.

[@tater357]

Congratulations on the Buck....I know a Good Taxidermist if you're wanting to turn it's antlers into a KeyChain. And as far as the second deer...Great looking Buck...Bet it would field dress out at a whopping 65 lbs.
