Saved or injured by it, still not sure, it's struggling this year again, Calvin. But it might be a cycle it's going through or it could just be the end of it. Nothing gold can stay, enjoy it while it lasts is what I say! 🙂
Can't wait to see it. I shot a beautiful 9 pointer that scored 121 and 5/8 in with an inside spread of 21 inches 5 years ago in Pennsylvania! Your boss must be over a hundred and 15 in great buck man
With all the COVID crap and the civil unrest, I left TH-cam. I'm back and you site looks great and is greatly improved. Congratulations to you and your daughter. I too have a great season with two of the best bucks I've ever harvested with my crossbow and a good supply of venison in the freezer for the bad times that are coming in 2021.
Thanks Richard for the great video. Love your channel. Started crossbow hunting 10 years ago as my shoulder went out. I have shot many deer with my Barnett BCX. Started with muzzy fixed broad heads, and shot several deer that went 100's of yards before recovery with lung shots. Switched to RAGE Crossbow X, 2-Blade Archery Arrow Broadheads and the last 2 deer went less than 50 yds. I am sold on Rage....easy recovery for a 70 year old hunter. Just purchased a Wicked Ridge M-370 that is a joy to hold and shoot. Good luck in your next hunt!
Had to go back and watch this one again. Very good footage Rich and a great video. Good thing about filming hunts is getting to go back and relive the moment anytime you want to. I also keep a photo book with details of all my harvest. Congratulations again my friend.
Love the videos and love that your daughter hunts with you...My daughter will eat all my jerky I make but won't hunt,scout and help put up stands or anything...
If you want a full pass through, switch to fixed blade broadheads. I shoot NAP thunderhead 100’s out of my 130lb pull crossbow, and have yet to not have a complete pass through on the three bucks I’ve taken with it. Give it a thought.
@@Deathbybunjie hey, we’ve all got our preferences. I’m the exact opposite. I’ve shot mechanicals before out of my compound, and had issues. I swore mechanical broad heads off years ago. To me, that mechanical part is just one more part to fail. Just my opinion anyway. I really hope you dial in a broad head that checks all your criteria boxes.
Congrats on a very successful and safe hunt. Time and effort pays dividends. Nice bruiser for the freezer, the jars, and the wall mount. As always, great content!
Just re watched the video, since I was driving back to the cabin listening to the premiere. Didnt want to miss out. Congrats again. Great buck. Lots to be thankful for today. Great season for you both! Both being you and Genevieve😉
Awesome buck and video angles. Yes, it's time to decommission Bunjie, sadly. However, going forward, a new bow will provide your viewers with new material to look forward to!! Great video, Rich, and thanks!
Rich, I have used a Excalibur Exocet( same as bungie) Gold tip Lazer 2 with Wasp SST Hammers . Since 2004 ( medical permit to use crossbow before legal the next year) 16 years never have I ever not had a pass through . Get ride of those mechanicals use fixed blade. One year using a 657 grain 20" Gold Tip Kenetic complete pass through shoulder bone . There is nothing wrong with your bow it's how your setup. Congratulations on a great Buck. God bless
I have an Excalibur Grizzly. Shoots 305 ft/sec. I use standard Muzzy 100 gr fixed blade. Never had an issue with pass-throughs. The 150 gr Excal bolt cutters are very good too and are recommended. Use them too. I totally understand Rich wanting to try something different. I can see Bunjie making guest appearances from time to time.
Love the format of your videos. Really appreciate the time you put into it. The footage of the deer is fantastic. Only had a chance to watch it on my phone but definitely rewatching on the tv when the rest of the the house go to bed!
I’m a new sub but I just purchased a Barnett whitetail hunter pro after hunting a couple years with an old heavy Barnett jackal crossbow and I can say I don’t regret my purchase. Light quiet and powerful. Found them on sale a rural king marked down 200$ off retail so I got one and I love it
@@Deathbybunjie Can we all say together, "Excalibur!"? **WinK* Reliable is their middle name! No cables, no cams, in the field tunable, and down right sexy!
Nice buck harvest. That side angle camera shot was awesome. Must have been fairly close, did not appear to move before the bolt hit him. Even high double lung hits should give you decent blood trail out the mouth and nose. No complaints there. I have experimented with heavy FOC bolt setups. Penetration is awesome, but the trade off is the loss of arrow/bolt speed to hit the animal before it can significantly drop at the shot. I was fortunate that buck did not react to crossbow going off. Bolt was 630 grains. Next bolt setup is 470 grains with 3 blade muzzy and lighted nock. Once you use lighted nocks, filming and the ability to see where the bolt hits is so enhanced, you don't want to go back to standard nock setups. Thanks for sharing.
Great deer. You turned me onto the rage hypodermic with the shock collars and they are amazing. My deer this year looked like he painted a red line through the woods and went less than 60yds. I didn't get a pass though either but it was insane. You aren't losing deer so keep it up with old bungie
Sounds like the Rage Hypodermic works well for you. I used a Rage Extreme Crossbow head with a properly installed orange shock collar last year. Had an opportunity to take a gobbler I had a tag for during archery deer season. Made a good shot but the blades didn't deploy even after going into the ground. It's not just me, many hunters had a similar experience with Rage heads. The crossbow that I used is rated for 370 fps. Disappointed I tested another Rage Extreme head at home by jamming it through a cardboard box. The Rage went though and didn't deploy. All other expandables I tested throughout the years opened in the cardboard. After much research I settled on SEVR heads for a replacement. I couldn't be happier with accuracy and performance after extensive testing and practicing with the actual heads I'm hunting with. I didn't get a chance at a buck (yet) but my friend borrowed my backup crossbow rated at 305 FPS (same Axiom crossbow as Bunjie). He used the cheaper 1.7" SEVR version on a nice buck and it died within sight. That was a couple weeks ago and he has since ordered SEVR Titanium 1.5 and 2.0 versions to replace his Rage heads for his new crossbow that just arrived. I highly recommend checking them out. Lusk Archery tested Rage Trypan and SEVR head to head in a TH-cam video if you would like to see a comparison.
I’ve been binge-watching all your videos! I’m in west KY. Researching crossbows. I just had hernia surgery on Friday - so I’ll have a couple of weeks to watch all your videos, and maybe decide on a crossbow!
Love bunjie, but its time for an upgrade! Too many benefits of newer Xbows. Plus you can occasionally break bunjie our for a nostalgia hunt! Great work and another excellent video! Congrats
Nice harvest Rick! I’ve been watching a while and maybe I’ve missed it. What do you do afterwards? Would love to know if YOU process, you have it processed. How do you use your harvest?
I just recently came across your channel as i have taken an interest in hunting with a crossbow. I am really enjoying watching your journey as well as your daughter's. If you decide to "retire" Bunjie, it would be awesome to see it have a place on your wall. Happy hunting, keep up the great work!
Nice buck Rich! Congratulations! So. My thoughts. Go for a faster bow with a little heavier arrow. The ballistics don’t lie. Heavier arrows penetrate better, retain velocity further and are usually more durable. The micro series are just great and I love mine even though I need new limbs. My Ten point is a whole different level of crossbow and I don’t see myself ever going back to the Micro 335 as my primary xbow. Yes it’s that good. As for broadheads? I’m not a fan of mechanicals. The mechanics of the point take up a lot of energy on impact. A good fixed blade will fly just fine, penetrate even better and I’ve had no issues with fixed blade Muzzy MX3s for years and a whole bunch of deer. Great video and congrats again! Oh one guitarist to another. All hail the king! RiP EVH.
Great buck great video. I had thought a shoulder shot was not good but obviously am wrong. Maybe that’s the difference between a crossbow and a compound. I’ve always tried for a bit lower and further back for the pass through. I’d like to see your optimum location
With that older slower crossbow and a Rage broadhead, that's a tough one to get a passthrough without resorting to heavier arrows and fixed blades. With the new crossbow, that's a much better shot (it'd pass through most times I do believe). In fact, that will be my new "optimal" aiming location. I shot a doe tonight, avoided the shoulder with the newer crossbow when I shoulda aimed a little tighter to it--maybe not at the roasts up front if you know what I mean, but closer to them. Old habits die hard. But we found her!

Had to come back and watch it again. I’m so happy the 100+ year old apple 🍎 tree was saved by some strategically placed fertilizer. 👍
Saved or injured by it, still not sure, it's struggling this year again, Calvin. But it might be a cycle it's going through or it could just be the end of it. Nothing gold can stay, enjoy it while it lasts is what I say! 🙂
@@Deathbybunjie yes sir Rich. I understand. Enjoy it
I have never not gotten a pass through with my Grizzle. I just stay away from that front shoulder. Great video.
Your videos are so simple yet it draws my curiosity and the harvest are nice and the commentary is thought provoking
Well here I am it's deer season again and I'm watching one of your videos and it says one year ago I made this comment above
Deer sure love that new growth. Mock scrapes are on my list for next fall for sure!
Tons of fun, glad to hear from you, fyi loving the hog hunts
Thanks a bunch! Beautiful buck BTW. Guess I should have waited until the end of the video to comment. Lol.
That one is going to be hard to beat.
Awesome job and awesome video!!!! I’d love to see you meet up with The Hunting Public and do a collaborative series!!!!! Who else agrees?????
Finally, a very good hunting video without a lot of irrelevant yapping. Well done!
Nice buck Rich. Congrats! Enjoy the channel. You and Genevieve have had a year to remember.
Would you place your crossbow in a glass case if you upgraded, would be cool to see bungie in your trophy room
Would be a lot cooler if you did all right all right
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Nice Buck! Bunjie doesn't look like he's ready to retire any time soon.
Can't wait to see it. I shot a beautiful 9 pointer that scored 121 and 5/8 in with an inside spread of 21 inches 5 years ago in Pennsylvania! Your boss must be over a hundred and 15 in great buck man
What an EXCELLENT story of this hunt Rich. Congratulations.
What an awesome video and experience. Just a great job all the way around.
With all the COVID crap and the civil unrest, I left TH-cam. I'm back and you site looks great and is greatly improved. Congratulations to you and your daughter. I too have a great season with two of the best bucks I've ever harvested with my crossbow and a good supply of venison in the freezer for the bad times that are coming in 2021.
Congratulations nice! I have to admit I was a bit concerned at where the shot went and not a pass threw but he went down in good order!
Excellent forward aiming point for the position of the deer. Level expert :)
Thanks, a bit easier from a blind when not dealing with treestand angles
Awesome shot

I really enjoy your videos there very honest and truthful life experiences in x bow hunting that are very entertaining.
Bunjie lives!!!!
Congrats all your hard work paid off.
Great buck Rich! Always glad to see when the hard work and dedication to hunting pays off in a big way.
Congrats beautiful buck
Your channel is great for us fathers who watch hunting shows with their daughter
Great hunt! Bunjie is still the King of the forest slayer! 🦌
Excited to see what Bunjie 2.0 could possibly be...
The sky is the limit with the crossbows they have nowadays.
Congrats! Nice buck
Have really enjoyed hunting with you these last two years.
Congratulations
I would more about another crossbow I'll keep on shooting that one
Bunjie got me into crossbow hunting. I bought the same cross bow, but with a black polymer riser and named it Budgie. Thanks for sharing.
Nice buck! I landed my first crossbow deer this season up in Canada! Used some of your crossbow wisdom to get the job done 🤙
Awesome thanks for this and congratulations!
Wow. Awesome buck. The preseason work paid off. Good for you
Just watched with my 5 year old daughter and 10 month old son. We loved it! Congrats on the nice buck!
Wow, thanks! Great to hear and good luck to all of you, Happy Thanksgiving!
You have one of the most contagious smiles ever
Great shot, A HIGH SHOULDER but just as lethal. Your patience paid off waiting for the Big Guy!🦌🎯
I was over excited to hit watch, I didn’t realize it was a premiere notification!!🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I knew it was a premiere but thought it was last night.
Congrats, that is one fine looking buck

Lol bungie controls me ! Love it. Rock on brother
Boy he’s a DANDY! Great hunt! Congratulations!!!!Way to get er’ done once again!
If you want a full pass through, switch to fixed blade broadheads. I shoot NAP thunderhead 100’s out of my 130lb pull crossbow, and have yet to not have a complete pass through on the three bucks I’ve taken with it. Give it a thought.
I used fixed blades back in the day, not really interested in going back.

You have made me a believer in that licking branch set up. Seeing that work year after year, hard to argue against it.
Fun, too! ;)
Awesome shot ,great 👍 video happy for you great buck
great vid of the buck working the scrape, dude was not interested in eating
Nice shooting and I love the way you spin the tail of the hunt. Good job, Congratulations!

Great SHOT!!!
Bunjie gotter DONE
Awesome! I’m still waiting for the chance to get one with mine. This is my first full year. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Thanks and good luck!
Ooh that's a nice buck! Congrats to you and Bunjie👍🏻 😁!
So happy you got another one. I hope to go hunting again soon myself. We are in the pre-rut in my area.
Congrats! That is a monster!
Awesome buck rich!
Second time watching this. You two do a great job at having fun
I’m a new sub but I just purchased a Barnett whitetail hunter pro after hunting a couple years with an old heavy Barnett jackal crossbow and I can say I don’t regret my purchase. Light quiet and powerful. Found them on sale a rural king marked down 200$ off retail so I got one and I love it
Truly enjoyed this one, perhaps my favorite hunting video this entire season- Andy
Nice buck Rich. Many new crossbows won't be as reliable as Bunjie, but having extra power to push a heavy arrow and still have speed is the way to go.
Reliable is a big consideration I hear that
@@Deathbybunjie Can we all say together, "Excalibur!"? **WinK* Reliable is their middle name! No cables, no cams, in the field tunable, and down right sexy!
That boy has some mass on him. Congrats bud!!!
One of the best videos I have seen!! Congrats!!
Bunjie ain't even freakin' playin' this year, son!!!
I believe that he played just fine. LOL
Great deer 🦌, congratulations 🎊🎉!
Thats how you do it Video is professional quality.

That was an exciting video to watch….😉👍
Congrats on a great hunt! Awesome job filming and making the shot 👍
Nice job love your channel👍😁
Congratulations on another good buck
Congrats, love your videos, keep them coming cause you tell it real!!!!

About two months ago I left a comment saying I was from the future and you were going to have a great season! 😁
😂 i remember that, good stuff!

I have a question, can you tell me the product you use for the deer lick branch.
Thank you ❤
Prefer an oak branch but beech will do. Just drilled a hole in the tree and screwed the branch in place. Nothing fancy!
