Whitetail Hunting the Great Plains of North Dakota | With Tony Peterson

[@acmund]

Props to the guy that saw you and headed out.

[@kyleskelley3222]

Dude handled it perfectly ha

[@fishinarkansas3348]

He did handle it like a gentleman, to bad the guy hunting the spot he was gonna hunt. Blew it out, 1 miss and another spooked buck. Shame.

[@FVPS904]

Surprising for a Subaru owner

[@NAC-CAN.no1]

Bevis n Buthead Laugh ahe ahe ahe 😮

[@bradm4493]

If that guy ever sees this and realizes buddy blew opportunities on 2 bucks he’s gonna be punching air 🤣

[@loganmcgrady]

More of this, more of Tony.

[@Patrician9000]

I second this!

[@bberg948]

Yep. More Tony. MI says hello🖕🏼

[@tristan8537]

Pleasssse give Tony his own show

[@Patrician9000]

YES!!!!

[@bberg948]

Yep. MI agrees 🖕🏼

[@JacobHatesRunning]

@@Patrician9000amen to that, Tony is my Whitetail hunting North Star lol. Guys a straight up killer

[@Luckieoutdoors]

By far my favorite whitetail episode in a while.

[@Hidenx0]

The wide 9 is so good

[@searadish565]

I really appreciate how Tony goes about hunting, thinking etc.

[@MyLifefunthingss]

Tony is my fav Meateater personality. They are all great but he is a cut above in the “normal” category. Great hunter too

[@TrentTaylor-zy7qn]

Sweet hunt, Tony needs his own show!

[@CheckLeftHookKO]

Tony's book is great. Tony's podcasts are great. Tony's videos are great. Can we get more Tony???

[@Patrician9000]

Mad respect for the guy seeing you and immediately heading out!

[@thornehauser9511]

Man that's exactly how it works!! Love to see the patients get rewarded!! Heck of a public land deer!!!

[@philiph554]

You said it…solving the riddle, that’s the challenge. I love stepping into a new area and trying to figure it out. Thanks for the story, well done!

[@nickc874]

Tony is the man!

[@neonomad6078]

Tony’s podcasts and hunt commentary are distilled to perfection.

[@mysterymasks]

I love how they bleeped out the first, but left the second f-bomb in at 14:09 😂

[@Jeraldsdog]

He’s saying buck

[@Huntfishtrap2121]

Give Tony a show!

[@The_averagebowhunter]

More Tony, everybody needs more Tony whitetail hunts

[@connerhawes9736]

Meat Eater has a Gem with Tony. Awesome stuff

[@JakeBarr17]

Another use for my trucks tailgate. Thanks Tony!

[@C-24-Brandan]

Always a good sign when you see that high kick with the back legs after lettin an arrow fly! Any buck is a good buck when you're on public land, no history in the area, using a bow etc! MeatEater is easily the best hunting, fishing, shooting, trapping, outdoors etc channel & company! Have been hooked since season 1 episode 1 of meateater with rinella, keep killin it fellas love the content!

[@Krush23]

14:48 the primal emotion. Hell yeah.

[@Iui2345]

Grew up in ND. The public land is few and far between and quite small square plots. It’s not uncommon to have a couple tree stands set up within a few acres of each other. Now living in the west and taking advantage of the vast swaths of public land!

[@ThompsonJosh98]

Only 10 minutes in. I love that you actually showed your mistakes. There is literally nothing from stopping you from editing that out. Kudos man. Thank you for being so honest. Ps to who ever that other hunter was, dude. Respect. You literally could’ve went and sit 100+ yards away and to me, that would’ve been fine (bow hunting). Like that’s still just luck of the draw. The fact they gave a disappointing thumbs up, but didn’t even hesitate to turn around was mind boggling to me. Damn respect bud

[@d.d.b.01]

One of the best meat eater videos I’ve seen in a while

[@gamedinnah]

That first sit was the hunting equivalent of “on tilt” when you just can’t get right. Awesome hunts and congratulations man. And “short balls” 😂 well… you are hunting “The Good Place”.

[@bryanlammers384]

Nice hunt. Those cold windy days will test the toughest hunters. The family and I just moved back to West Central MN from SW Florida and I haven’t hunted in 5 years. I CANNOT wait. This gets me fired up. I haven’t made it out with the bow yet but fun season is right around the corner and boy am I pumped.

[@liammcgee1845]

Freakin love the Tony episodes. After listening to him talk about this hunt on the pod over the past year, was SO EXCITED when I seen this episode drop 🙏🙏

[@emirkazic4493]

Great hunt, fun to watch. Love tuning into Tony every Tuesday! More hunts with Tony pls!

[@travisboyzuck1440]

This is my favorite guy to watch.

[@BeyerOutdoors]

That's a great video. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed seeing the whole hunt from out in the deer stand, to the processing, to the meal. Nice buck & congratulations.

[@joesanchez1124]

Way to keep at it. Great shot!

[@johnnybuckbrush]

Congrats on the buck! 🏹 I've hunted these same spots from the ground a few times. There are normally so many hunters out there during the end of Oct that I stay away. Funny that Subaru decided to drive out in the middle of that area. I almost shot a doe in those small rolling sand hills late in the season on a spot and stalk. Was just trying to fill the freezer at that point. I ended up getting one 4 miles east of there that year.

[@rachelandisaiahtolo6278]

Those first two deer was hard to watch - not because it’s bad hunting but because my season has felt similar - I got pretty lucky and got a second shot at the buck I missed from 10 yards lol. Great episode, great deer!

[@jessetharp6319]

3 cheers for Tony’s cameraman.

[@kurtlarson2061]

So down to earth and informative!! Heading out for my first real deer hunt ever at age 32 on some public land in MN in a few weeks. This gave me some insight and hope for getting an animal! Thank you. Tony, you're fantastic.

[@svenngunnarrustgard1228]

Should watch THP also if you dont already

[@kurtlarson2061]

@@svenngunnarrustgard1228 I don't! Thank you for the suggestion! I'll be rifle hunting for the foreseeable future but want to get into bow hunting eventually

[@svenngunnarrustgard1228]

@@kurtlarson2061 yeah they do both but mainly bow 👍

[@ecv03]

Great episode. God Bless you guys.

[@spencermccoy6161]

This was such a cool hunt to watch. I really hope one day I get to go hunt White Tail here in Pennsylvania. It seems like a remarkably rewarding and humanizing experience.

[@JacobHatesRunning]

Tony is such a good hunter

[@Treeplanter73]

Great job!!

[@colinhoard7741]

Love his emotions on his face. Wears it well

[@BucksMom218]

This was great

[@jonaholson1583]

14:08 we've all been there, that startled jump after sitting still for 5 hours!

[@jaredpeterson380]

Great hunt!

[@rorywaliser3974]

Hell yeah! Cool to see you film in my home unit! 6 hour sits up here are not for the thin of skin!

[@Topshot_37]

Whitetails are always skittish, but this just confirmed to me they're just a little more flighty around here. Not many places to hide and smart deer. We might not have a ton of giants but it's always rewarding to me to outsmart one up here.

[@scottythebody0811]

Bow hunt long enough, and you’ll ask yourself “why didn’t I use a rifle?”

[@grizz23]

Love to see that hunter that turned around and left ive had people set up right beside me after seeing me and its so frustrating

[@danielhanson3607]

Tony’s the man!

[@SouthTexasLivin]

Cool hunt

[@Unhinged29]

Just found out my job is shutting down for three weeks and I've been kicking around the idea of grabbing a South Dakota archery tag and trying to bag one. My freezer is full thanks to a Wyoming mule deer who donated himself to my venison fund and I haven't practiced at all with my bow but it's something to do. Or I could just go duck hunting.

[@Rural420cannabis]

Way more action duck hunting 😅 better than sitting still for hours for nothing

[@Hentylion]

I'd prolly do the archery but I'm a bow fanatic, I only duck hunt really after the split. Either way should be fun, let us know!

[@Rusty.Shackleford1098]

Could do ND archery tag. Missouri River is full of public land and decent bucks like the one harvested here. Or head to western ND and see tons of big mulies that you can’t tag out on and still shoot a good whitetail

[@joek9061]

I appreciate you calling some of those "nice deer" as I probably would, not like some folks that brush off anything less than 150" or 6yrs old.

[@Byler-j2g]

Awesome video 👍🔥

[@paulhenry8586]

He drew and muurrpppped at the same time letting the deer hear the sound and key in on the movement of him drawing. Get to full draw and anchor then give them the muurppp. Hahahah

[@MTrocker0221]

Here in Montana hunting public land is so hard! The Block management is overhunted and it doesn't matter if you’re sitting in the wide open, people walk right in on top of you.

[@Piranhaoutdoors]

That’s some Gary Clancy toughness sitting thru some not ideal conditions right there Tony.

[@DM-wb4jv]

Great episode!

[@fhonik]

if you were the guy who left the spot! good on you. solid human.

[@alexanderveto9249]

Really cool episode

[@travismiller9841]

What a great one!

[@LHTWH]

Nearly fist bumped the camera man’s hand off 😂. So good!

[@mikedrew2337]

Gotta ask, Tony, why don't you shoot lighted nocks?

[@Flowerycow1]

the buck he shot is the same one he busted at 10 yards!! crazy!

[@Salmonsqueezer]

that is what I noticed too.

[@leoneltarazona9404]

Best meal ever. Plain old tenderloin, mashed taters and corn. Keep it simple!

[@warneckefarm6812]

I can't tell you hiw many times I hunted in cold weather like that on public,,see 1 in two weeks ,,or miss and don't get 1 at all,,it's sad ,,but enjoyable all at once

More Tony!

[@montanavet5219]

Awesome video.

[@IAmAMeateater]

lol just listened to the wired to hunt episode you guys talked about this

[@jasonholliday1197]

instead of a new meat eater season, can we just have a season of nothing but Tony hunting whitetails? That'd be great

[@chrismatthews5040]

Shhhhhhh! Dont ..meeeeiiilkkk!!!!!you give away your edge!

[@vervi1jw1]

Is that the sanctuary or solitude set?

If you could please show your gear quick like bow, arrow, grains, poundage prior to heading out that would be awesome greatly appreciated thank you very good video

Calm considered commentary. Great watch.

[@Winchester1897]

Literally feel like I just watched Jeff Daniels hunt!!....don't mean it mean either he just looks like him!!

[@bradbruce]

I will never understand the "meep" when a deer is already broadside and you have a clean shot.

[@mattbaggett7539]

“The spoor always tells the truth.” Spoor of this please.

[@zachvydra9309]

The first light gear didn’t work well? Huh that’s not what your advertisements say lol.

[@dennismeehan6359]

The whole time I was thinking, “The weather forecast called for freezing temp’s, it’s usually quite windy there, why not dress warmer 🤷‍♂️?” When the first real cold front comes in it’s really easy to underestimate how cold it’s going to be and under dress 🥶. But for the next set add layers, heated socks, hand warmers, etc. 🤓

[@MichiganDragonSlayer]

all that high dollar first lite gear and you were cold?

[@mav8903]

Title this “I don’t know what happened there.”

[@willisoutdooradventures9585]

I listen to podcasts on 2x speed…. You sound just the host of foundations only drunk or slow motion 😅

[@scottrobinson3533]

What stand and sticks is that

[@TaylorMadeOutdoors]

Looks like a millennium stand, idk the sticks. They might have them on the meateater store

[@fishinfool247]

My public experience in nd living there for 10 years small body deer small racks but most guys only road hunt so if u can walk a mile off the road ull never see guys usually pretty good then

[@Sultanvinegar]

[@BenjaminDziuban]

The buck that ran is the same buck you ended up shooting

[@mitchellhoffman93]

Stop shooting deer and saying “he’s not that big” “he’s good for public land”. Why shoot something and then make excuses? Or feel the need to justify it in some way?

[@thomashakanson-tl5wu]

At that distance, why alert the deer?

[@VTSteve]

I'm thinking at about Minute 14 to 15 there was no need to make a sound to stop him, he was just putting his head down to feed, it was like you were trying to recreate your previous mistake for some unexplainable reason.

[@buglelk6735]

Surprised they didn't notice that he killed the same buck that was the 2nd one that got away the 1st day.

[@tannervanasten]

This one was fuckin awesome

[@Kingfisher2225]

Cool hunt well done. Just a word though especially on public land. After you are done your hunt don’t go and tromp around in the brush and push deer out and ruin the next guys hunt. Get your deer, get your gear and get out. Low impact low noise. Just like the guy that was courteous to you, be courteous to the next guy.

[@Live4Outdoor]

That’s a sweet deer and it’s even cooler you killed the same one that busted you at ten yards

[@raybaird9541]

Wow that’s awesome that guy turned around. Congratulations nice buck. My friend of 30 years is an amazing hunter like all of us watches and watches and thinks hunting year round. He moved to ND and he can kill one white tail a year. Screw that I moved to Tennessee were I can kill 3 does every day 2 bucks a year and we have a velvet season and because I hunt on my property I have 3 extra days at the end of the season I get 3 extra days to kill does. So in total I can kill over 300 does and 2 bucks a year. Screw ND but congratulations to you that was a real nice buck

[@JH-wk9gw]

Thank you for screwing us

[@Tyler-qu2iw]

Terrible state. Definitely don't come here. Nothing but small ones. Stay home for sure.

[@jarvisrutherford289]

Algorithm defeated

[@marktate4466]

I enjoy watching this guy, and the show was good ( here it comes) but... public land, you killed your deer, good job, don't go back in there after and stink up the whole area and run all the deer onto the private ground. Have the same kind of respect for other hunters that the guy at the beginning had for you.

[@WisconsinBowhunt]

Man I hope that jacket isn’t part of Meateaters new whitetail line up because that thing is noisy, which is why that 2nd deer busted you

[@oneg1970]

Hey buddy. I know those adjustable sights are the craze right now but they’re the dumbest trends I’ve ever seen. I do not understand how they have become so popular. Do yourself a favor and get a set of fixed sights. Trust me.
