10:43 Pucker factor definitely hitting 100 on a 0-10 scale at that point. You can hear some kind popping noise (I’m assuming the camera picking up something from the lightening or the lightening itself) just when the lightening appears but before the thunder. That was insane.
Was caught in a lightning/thunder storm last October on public land. Scary as hell. Came across a 6 point, on the way back to my truck, just eating like nothings going on. Wild experience I’ll never forget.
I love these videos so much, you guys capture the true reality that is this great world around us. The flooded marshes teeming with waterfowl, the raw power of mother nature at work, and you even document those sits that we've all had where you see little to nothing. This is why I always wait with anticipation for the next THP upload. Merry Christmas y'all.
When reading the comments about the lightning and all someone mentioned “the grind”. I appreciate you all keeping it real and showing how hunting really is. Watching you all work it out is tough, but at the same time still entertaining! I appreciate your efforts. Good luck!
That's the reaction of every FNG hearing incoming fire the first time. Even with throwing the boonie off. I'd feel safer facing arty than the good lord's righteous fury. I felt that reaction to the strike in my soul. Glad you're ok.
LITTLE ROCK - With more than a month left in Arkansas’s archery deer season, hunters have checked 214,022 deer during the 2020-21 deer hunting season. That’s more deer than any season since the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission began keeping harvest records in 1938.
I never would’ve been in that situation. I’ve had two very close calls in my life with lightning. Once I actually got a bit of a buzz from the truck door handle when lightning struck in my yard while I was getting into the truck. The other was in the Fl Keys while trying to evade a storm and docking the boat. Lightning hit so close by us that my sister-in-law had a static arc jump from the bow rail of the boat to her leg. With my experiences with lightning, I would’ve left long before the storm got that close. The heck with the deer. Glad you guys are ok. P.S. I would’ve jumped in that damn culvert too. Lol
This is how my season has been going. Couldnt get on one during black powder and missed one with my rifle. Twice. Good experiences though. I learned something from both encounters.
Same here! This year was a series of missing on my dad’s end and disappointments. Saw a ton of deer this season and heard and saw lots of cool and unique things. I got a really nice crack on a buck and could never find him. Perfect heart shot but was never able to find any blood or fur. Just last Saturday I found him a long ways away. We looked for 3-4 hours + and could never find him even with a search party. At least I have his dead head though. He is a stud
@@huckleberry460 doc holiday said im your huckle bearer, not huckleberry. Definitely need to change yours too. It is all public land from the ground my guy. Came in chasing a doe. I stopped him but his chest was behind a tree and then he started after her again. I tried to move up to a tree for a rest. He turned and was staring at me. I sat down and shot off my knee cap after holding dead still for 10 minutes straight. Trying to hit a frontal around a tree. Only way i could get him in the scope. The 2nd shot was a hail mary through a bunch of brush. Not to mention i was shaking like a mfer
Watch you guys all the time! Much better seeing hunters hunt public than the guys ,locking up land with the proceeds from hunting product to the point they name the deer , and watch him grow with no pressure, like a farm raised deer!
I truly value the people on The Hunting Public - so please be careful and err on the side of caution. Next year will be better and you can always gain some good video material, revenue, and steam into the 2022 season by organizing a nation-wide TARGET TOUR!
Welcome to Arkansas weather goes from zero to 100 real quick. Usually can avoid it on the river if it’s pop up storms the front lines best to get inside
I thought Ted was nuts trying to get cover by staying under clearer skies. Boy was I wrong because I'd just barreled back to the vehicle and got hit by that lightning! That was intense!
Last year I was in a my climber and lightning struck in the corn field butting up to the woods I was in. Needless to say I never came down the tree in a climber so fast. Stand slipping on my poopie helped I think.
Holy shit!! Had a few close calls like that on Potomac River wading for smallmouth ….. Gotta say best group of personalities on a hunting show no bravado no fancy crap just in your face hunting grunt style ! Thanks
Never stand in a open Field or right of way when there is a lightning storm you are better off in the lowest spot in the woods you can find or the culvert was a good idea. That was too close for sure. Lay flat on ground in lowest point possible. Love these videos.
Omg y’all are killing me. I’m ready to see all of the Arkansas videos. Grrrrrrrrr!!!! I’m wondering if I need to take any of my bucks I plan on hunting next year off the list. LOL!!! Damn good job building suspense!!!
Awesome that gut sense said hold back for a minute. Thunderstorms are crazy in South Arkansas I’ve come very close to being popped in the summertime in the river bottoms. Always a reason for everything.
You looked just like Clint Eastwood when you were talking about where you were thinking about doing that evening hunt. Look back at your clip and see what I mean. Great video and I'm glad that you didn't get struck by lightning. Keep up the great videos guys. 👏👏👍🙏
Warbs eating acorns or akerns haha he is probably about 50% deer DNA by now the transformation is almost complete. Stay safe guys don't want yah riding the lightning!
Zach would goof around and hide in the culvert after the strike to make us laugh. Ted just straight up hid in a culvert. Either way, it was still funny.
love hunting the swampland deer ..the are so easy to hear coming thrue the water .when they sneek its like a dripping facit water dripping off their feet ...besafe guy them storms are nothing to play with down here ....
Welcome to Arkansas weather!! 75 & Tornadoes one day and 35-40 the next with sun and north winds @ 25!! Saying goes down here… if you don’t like the weather in Arkansas, stick around a day or two, it’ll change!!
Was that a cast iron culvert? If so, that was the safest place you could hide. It would essentially act as a Faraday cage and wouldn’t transfer a shock to the inner surface. Wild footage! The microphone picking up the static at the strike was pretty cool. That was dangerously close.
Ted no metal is a conductor of electricity. Alot of exposed metal hanging out the end of that calvert. Plus it was in the open nothing higher above it for a few yards.
I watched that part where ted about got ⚡⚡ 💯 times..😂😂😂.. The reaction is priceless.. but I know how that is I had lightning strike right beside me and unless u experience it u don't realize how loud it is and the crazy flashes
That’s a close call on that lightning, I’ve had that happen before while trout fishing here in Georgia and it’s not a good feeling. Good setup with that small buck, not much cover but just enough to slightly blend in. Good hunt guys, enjoyed it!
In a lightning storm, getting into a giant metal tube seems like a bad plan. Especially if it starts to rain hard, that thing can fill up before you get a chance to get out. Hotel is the best play for sure.
Had a similar experience waiting to draw on a buck feeding right towards me in a drizzle while listening to a storm get closer and closer till it was too late. Pretty sure that deer got vaporized but can’t say for sure because after I got blinded by the flash that boom went off next to me I dropped butt to the climber and jumped. Had to run a few hundred yards to get to my jeep and it was popping all around me. Now if I hear a storm coming I’m already climbing down. Hell no!!
When we were teenagers my cousin and I were fishing in a gorge in the GSMNP on a blue bird sky day when a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere and made a direct strike on a big hemlock tree about 30 yards downstream of us. The earth shook under our feet. The tree was blown into pieces raining super hot shards of amber from the sky. It threw dirt into the air and tossed boulders around as it plowed a huge, smoking ditch from the trunk of the tree all the way down into stream. I’ve been mortified of lightning ever since and anyone who fishes or hunts with me knows it. Lol
Lightning strikes nearby so I'm gonna hide in the nearest METAL tube! That's gotta be sketchy at best. Though I must admit I haven't got a clue what I would do. I'm pretty sure I would be changing my shorts though. Damn, that was close!
Ted my grandson shot his first deer(spike horn) with his bow in an approaching electric storm. I had to go gut it for him. Trees were cracking, lighting and thunder all around. I was very nervous. I know how you felt, good move finding shelter. 👍
I believe I would've found a culvert at that point too! It's never a good feeling to have the hair on the back of your neck stand up...Regardless, everyone is safe, and learned from the experience. Great job figuring them out Warb, maybe arrowing one next day! Love ya'll ❤
Son, i would not climb in a metal tube or drainage pipe. Lightening likes to find metal...happened in neighborhood used to live in. Glad u r okay! Good luck
Ted. I honestly don't think a metal ditch pipe in the ground.. Is the best hiding from lightning. The car would have been safer with the rubber tires an all. I wouldn't have crawled into that myself. I very well could be wrong tho. Greatest content nonetheless THP.!
Idk where you are at, but there is another month over on the East side of the State. Bought a 2 hr. drive for me, but got out once last year. If I don’t fill my two buck tags, I will probably try it again this year.
Tag soup for a really mature buck four years in a row now here in North Dakota but I can say that I was in the game all four years on really big buck’s I think everyone struggled this year with the crazy temps and weird wind directions Hopefully one of my target bucks made it through rifle season so the chase begins again in March when I shed hunt my target buck
That was about 3/4 of a mile away but yea still dangerous to be out in that no matter what you're doing. Holding onto what may be an aluminum riser bow and maybe carbon fiber limbs is even worse, not to mention all the lightning attracting electronics you all were carrying. Lesson learned I hope, hear a storm coming get out fast. Was this the same storm line that produced all the killer tornadoes recently?
Will we see THP taking advantage of this?🙏 Iowa hunters have the opportunity to hunt deer in Allamakee, Appanoose, Decatur, Wayne and Winneshiek counties beginning Jan. 11, 2022, after the threshold was met to hold the January antlerless season. For the January antlerless season to be held, eligible counties had to have at least 100 unsold resident antlerless deer tags on the third Monday of December. Hunters may purchase licenses for the January antlerless season wherever licenses are sold beginning Dec. 20, and use shotguns, handguns, muzzleloaders, bows or rifles to harvest deer.
I’m telling you if you’ve not had this experience your not a passionate hunter. Hunting in the rain thunder sleet Snow is some of the most great experiences we can get as hunter’s ( never stop hunting ) In till your Number is up coming from a guy that don’t like to be cold in the woods makes me enjoy it even more (:

Lightning strikes:⚡️
Ted: let’s jump in a metal culvert.
Y’all were probably safe lol
Hahaha. Love the “Chefs” call in the hotel. Great oogly moogly…
Ride the lightning is great album but I wouldn't recommend doing it lol
Or he would be "creeping death" 😉

Ted that is the coolest picture ever.
I like hunting bottoms like this. Bell slough in mayflower, AR is like this. Taken many deer out of there.
You looked just like Clint Eastwood when you were talking about where you were thinking about doing that evening hunt. Look back at your clip and see what I mean. Great video and I'm glad that you didn't get struck by lightning. Keep up the great videos guys. 👏👏👍🙏
I love that marsh set up. I’ve never hunted Arkansas.
That was close. Definitely a hotel night. Awesome 👍 video
" we have more success the less we prepare ".... truth!
Warbs eating acorns or akerns haha he is probably about 50% deer DNA by now the transformation is almost complete. Stay safe guys don't want yah riding the lightning!
Stay safe my son got me watching your channel now I’m hooked keep up the good work happy holidays
Looks like y’all are on the cache river bottoms,,mayb howel area,,which there is a lot of that bottom that looks just like that
Zach would goof around and hide in the culvert after the strike to make us laugh.
Ted just straight up hid in a culvert.
Either way, it was still funny.
Where is zach?😔
Dude I dropped a brick when you had that close strike holy cats ! Ted i mean WOW man . Good luck and may the force be with you all. 🏹👍
I agree , i'm ready for y'all to connect on some more whitetails .. good luck, stay safe and Merry Christmas from Tennessee
Always smart to get in a metal pipe during electrical storm.
That's crazy and hilarious! That struck like 10 yards from you!!!😱
love hunting the swampland deer ..the are so easy to hear coming thrue the water .when they sneek its like a dripping facit water dripping off their feet ...besafe guy them storms are nothing to play with down here ....
Let’s all leave a like for Ted😂😂😂.

Very nice camera work guys,excellent video!!
Ol Ted might appreciate some new drawers this Christmas
Kudos for the cameraman keeping steady!!
Hell yeah KC native here!
I would love to get a nice 3 week camping hunt trip one day.
Was squeezing into a metal culvert the best idea you had 😂
THP first ever to get Lochness on film @ 1:49
At least you are seeing deer that's better than what I'm doing here in western NC. You can't pay a deer to show it's self hope y'all get a deer
Everyone is talking about the lightning (which was crazy) but as someone who also duck hunts I would love to know where this place is!
Thumbnail pic looks awesome!
Great video...lightening is not my favorite event hunting either!
You know its a good time when the fillings in your molars start vibrating lol
Ted's sure got some good survival instincts, keep going with your gut!
Keep up the grind guys! Northeast Arkansas here
Welcome to Arkansas Y’all!😎
Loving the yardage indicators on the videos nowadays

Climbs in metal tube, lol. Glad your ok!
Arkansas duck hunter here. Would LOVE to know where you boys found this water and birds hahah it’s been a hard year so far.
was thinking the same thing
Son, i would not climb in a metal tube or drainage pipe. Lightening likes to find metal...happened in neighborhood used to live in. Glad u r okay! Good luck
That was close Ted! Stay safe!
That lightning strike footage was amazing. Glad you got out of there safe.
When did Warb start shooting the Alaskan? The Spring video showed him shooting a Whitetail Legend.
Definitely had to check the drawers after that one haha!
Should have brought the shotgun and steel shot aha. Those ducks were wild!
The weather was all over the place this rifle and muzzleloader season in Vermont
Where are them ducks at in arkansas though ? Doesn’t look like it’s being hunted
Ted. I honestly don't think a metal ditch pipe in the ground.. Is the best hiding from lightning. The car would have been safer with the rubber tires an all. I wouldn't have crawled into that myself. I very well could be wrong tho. Greatest content nonetheless THP.!

well that was wild!
So did y’all just give up on Alabama?
Which part of Arkansas was y’all in?
