Big Timber Buck - Cruising Buck Action | Bowhunting Whitetails w/ Bill Winke

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- November 9th and 10th found both Ethan and I hunting deep in the hardwoods near doe bedding areas. We both experienced great action. As the rut's lull approaches, things are going to slow down, but we were blessed to see great bucks prior to this time. If you are still hunting, good luck. Come back on Wednesday to check out the Whitetail Watch episode where I talk about hunting this mid-rut lull and a few words about how to hunt the gun seasons that are opening in many states.

Over time I learned to appreciate your channel. Even though you have plenty of great land, you still go through the struggles us average hunters go through. Makes it genuine.
Thanks Richie. The journey is the reward, as they say. I love my farm, but I would still love the journey no matter where I was hunting. Good luck to you.
Sat what stand up Electric scooter is that...looks like something I need...lol
Thank you? Funny comment. Bills channel is pretty good. A break from the Midwest whitetail channel and created a pretty cool follow along start from scratch channel and property. I’m a fan.
Yes Bill's truly is a hunter.
Unlike those jokes the Drurys😂😂😂
@@superpoacher6711I agree I used to watch them but they are just so scripted and it seems more like acting and selling than hunting but hey what do I know....
Thank you. It’s refreshing to see someone harvest deer in the timber and not sitting over a food plot for once. I know food plots are effective, but I think this style of hunt is more in touch with what most of us experience.
Thanks Dave. I really appreciate the comment and the support. Yes, all styles of hunting have their place. There are times when the deer are hitting the food and if you want to kill one, you need to be there. It is really fun to sit back in the timber though. That is also my favorite style of hunting. Good luck.
I appreciate Ethan’s words… ten days of hard hunting and just needed him to take five more steps. --that is so true.
It just wasn’t meant to be this time. We’ll keep hunting!
Awesome buck Bill. Ethan, I feel for you buddy, I guess that's why that buck got so big, by being smart. Hopefully you'll put a tag on him soon.
Thanks Ron. Much appreciated.
Congratulations Bill, great buck. Ethan, hang in there you’re going to get him.
Thanks Mitchell, we’ll stay after them!
Refreshing to see videos that show real life hunting. Congrats on a great buck Bill! I have four more sits, but so far nothing is tripping my trigger.
Thanks Keith and good luck on your remaining hunts. It has been a surprisingly slow rut for us here. Some action, but the amount of bucks we have seen in daylight has been very low compared to what we believe is in the places we hunt.
Great episode to see, Thank you, I finally had a chance to look back at one of your earlier hunts, I must say your cool as a cat, that's what experience, knowledge, and confidence brings you, Great job with shot placement, easy recovery, no suffering for the animals, cant ask for much better! Great buck, Ethans target buck was definitely the bullie on the block, tuff guy, big thick neck, big bodied, he was going after any Whitetail sounds he heard, but I must say, I was very happy you didn't take a risky shot , I was saying to myself if I would of tryed to pull off some stupid shot praying for a good outcome, and of course from experience, that's when you never let that arrow fly, any doubt, hold off, tomorrow's another day, ! ill have to catch up and see if you killed that flyer buck,congratulations on a great buck and doe, be safe!
Absolutely. The thought always enters the back of your mind, but being able to hold off usually pays off!
Awesome buck Bill! As for Ethan, keep dreaming big! Your buck will present itself and you will connect!!
Always dream big! Thanks for watching.
Congratulations Bill! Awesome content, tell Ethan to hang in there and stay patient, it will happen!
Patience is key! Looking forward to going after him soon. Thanks for watching.
"Still got some tags in my pocket, we could see how many we can fit on the 4-wheeler" 🤣 love it! Great hunt!
Thanks Isaac. Hope you have a great day and good luck.
Congrats on a great "unexpected" buck, Bill! I've been watching your videos for as long as I can remember, and to me, you seemed just a little more excited than usual about harvesting this buck. All that hard work, strategizing, and long sits finally paid off for you. Due to some life circumstances, I'm not able to bow hunt this season, so I've been living vicariously thru your videos, along with several other top bow hunters on You Tube. Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming! It's helping me live my passion and make it thru this season. Best of luck!
Congrats Bill. I've been watching your channel all season. I'm out here in western PA. My season was eerily mirroring yours but just a day or two behind. I was getting a little frustrated but after watching you video, I decided to hit the hardwoods on the 10th. Killed my biggest buck to date ....so I'd like to thank you for the assist😂. Great content as always
Congrats Tim! That is awesome. I am glad we were able to help in some small way. Have a great day and thanks for the comment.
Beautiful buck Bill. Keep after him Ethan. Our gun season starts here in Michigan on Wednesday. After that the deer are never the same. I’m lucky if I even see a 2.5 after that. They go almost 100% nocturnal. 😢
That's the truth don I hunt West central michigan
That's the truth don I hunt West central michigan the war starts Wednesday morning
That would definitely make it challenging. Stay after them, good luck this season!
Congratulations Bill 🙌. Tell Ethan don’t get down keep his head up and out think the buck. Great content as always
I’ll stay after him for sure! Thanks for watching.
Congrats Bill, what a story and what a buck!
Thanks and much appreciated. Continued good luck to you guys.
congrats man! when i saw E wheez at his buck i was like OH NO, grunt bro, then he did.
We left no stone unturned. That may have burned us in the end, but we had to try. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful spot Ethan, can’t beat getting drawn on your target Buck. Great footage
Yes, that is a big time adrenaline rush and in the end that is a big part of what we do this for. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
Thanks! It was a great hunt.
I've checked for this video 5-6 times this morning. Guess I'm addicted
Good deal. We love Bowhunting Whitetails addicts!
Great episode, Bill. I'm really enjoying the channel and learning a lot especially about creating good whitetail habitat. I lived in Iowa for 4 years and hunted near Chariton and also in western IA near Greenfield. Great memories.
Thanks. I appreciate it. My southern Iowa farm was just a bit east of Chariton over south of Albia. There were a lot of big deer in that area. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.
Nice buck nice doe. 80lbs 32” draw. That’s a man’s bow for sure.
Ethan I just did the same thing in Ohio. Just got back , spent 2 weeks. Hunted day light to dark for 11 days straight. Got my opportunity at a 160 and one limb saved his life. He came in at 5. Caught me off guard and the sun was still beaming in my eyes. Had to try and duck to get below the limb. He was at 48 yards. Didn’t have lanes cut that far. One limb saved that bucks life. The mature bucks just know!
I guess I’ll just challenge you to table tennis. Keep them coming guys. Hang in there fellows. Dream big!! Luke 9:62
I’m glad I’m not the only one! Hunting a mature whitetail is one a challenging feat. Not all of us can make it look easy like Bill!
Congrats on the buck, Bill! He’s a dandy!
For Ethan, that’s what rifles are for 😂 you’re on him but man, that’s the archers nightmare right there is closing the distance.
Thanks Garrett and good point. I guess that is why we love bowhunting so much. When it finally works, it is so satisfying. The highs and lows are very much a part of every season. You start to get used to it - but it takes a few decades!
They definitely level the playing field! Thanks for tuning in.
Man what a cool hunt,heck of a buck,I know Ethan is tore up over that encounter,that was intense,great video and good luck fellas
Thanks Scott. We appreciate it. Ethan will stay after that buck. Good luck to you.
Thanks Scott, have a great week.
Congratulations Bill on a great Whitetail.. I'm loving your show . Tell Ethan to keep grinding its gonna happen.. Ethan is becoming one of my favorites interns..
Will do Paul, thanks for the support! Good luck this season.
Got my biggest buck to date on November 7th and I got it on film. It’s a great day. This buck also disappeared right after he lost velvet and I accidentally ran into him a mile and a half away and got it done. Thanks again for the great content.
Great buck Bill!! Great encounter for the young man. My heart was hurting for him, so disappointing sometimes.....
Your show is my first watch every day!! Thanks Joe
I’m not giving up yet! There’s still a lot of season left, and with any luck we’ll hopefully be wrapping a tag around the flyer buck before it’s all said and done
How seer that would be Ethan!! Best of luck!
Thanks!@@joeblanchard3915
Great buck Bill!!...Keep after him Ethan! Cool encounter.
Will do! Thanks for watching.
I’ve been watching you for years. I liked how switched to the timber when your deer wasn’t coming to food. They move to timber and thick cover when they’re after those does. Another great video and hunt. Congratulations.
That is right. When the does stop coming our, so do the bucks. Good luck.
Great job Team Winke on all the work and stories this season. It's fun to watch.
Thanks Daniel. We definitely appreciate your support and comment. Good luck to you.
Ethan! That was so painful to watch! So close! Fingers crossed for next week's video!
It was definitely painful to watch. Hopefully we can learn from it and get him next time!
Congrats Bill! I love the channel and the information and insight you provide. I appreciate showing all the ups and downs throughout the season. Not just the ups
Thanks Conner. I appreciate it and hope you are having a great season.
Thank for taking me along.
You are very welcome. Thanks for the support and the comment. Have a great day.
Great buck, way to go Bill!! 🎊 👏
Thanks David. Much appreciated. Have a great day.
Awesome buck bill , Go easy on ethan
I’m sure I’ve earned it! Thanks for watching
Awesome! Congrats Bill always nice to get a flyer buck that you weren't expecting especially one that's so big! Congrats again
Thanks Joe. Much appreciated. Have a great day and good luck.
Congrats bill! Awesome buck!! Been tough this season but not giving up! Always nice being in a tree! And Ethan you’ll get him!! Just gotta be patient and god will give you more opportunities!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching. Good luck this season!
congratulations on an awesome buck bill!! i shot my best buck ever the morning of 11-9 this year in illinois and a doe in the evening, must have been a good day!!
Boy it sure was for us. Congrats to you too Jeff!
Congrats Bill. Keep after it Ethan!! Hopefully the third time is the charm.
Thanks Darin, we’ll stay after him!
Congratulations nice buck. It's a good feeling to see a new buck and even better knowing your buck breeds and lives another day. You now have an ace in the hole.
Don’t give up Ethan been there before.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate the support
Love how one sit can make up for an entire season! That deer would make up for two or three years on my little plot.
Well done. Fantastic. Beautiful older brute. Dedication, persistence and patience prevails. Thank you for good content.
Nice buck congrats,yeah that’s interesting he’s not from your property . Happy for you Bill. You put a ton of work into these deer. 100% earned.
Thanks Steve. In hindsight, he was a deer that I had some photos of in mid October, so he had been around at least a small bit. I think he was just living in that bigger timber and not coming out much. Good luck.
Great buck Bill...I think Ethan will eventually connect with his buck. Hope to see some more big ones go down.
Thanks Darin. We will get after them a bit later in the rut. Right now we being cautious and letting things settle in for the next big opportunity - right after the peak of breeding when the bucks head back to food.
Thanks for watching Darin, fingers crossed!
Bill shoots a buck and he starts talking a little smack😂.. thats good stuff! Awesome buck. Ethan I had a similar experience Sunday morning with my target buck! I know the pain. Hope you get your chance at the big boy! These close calls will only add to the experience and memory if you do! Shoot straight!
Gotta get your punches in where you can. He will return the favor some day I am sure.
@@bill-winke 😂😂😂
Absolutely. I wouldn’t expect anything less! Thanks for watching
Wish Ga woods were like this…tough to find places where deer are this caliber and move that much in daylight. Congrats!
Definitely not as good as up there but I seem to take at least one good buck off home property every year , have usually a few big mature bucks show up off river on my home farm ! But sure nothing like Midwest here in Georgia !!
I have hunted Georgia a few times. It is much different from hunting here. Tougher.
Harder to find a mature buck there.
@@bill-winke yes sir it is, but it makes it that much more special when you do! Thanks for the reply, massively enjoy your content sir!
Sweet deer Bill. Some of my favorite bucks have been ones I'd never seen before. This time of year is perfect for catching a rogue buck passing through. Congrads
I love the rut roamers, but they are not nearly as common as most people think, at least from my experience. Thanks for the comment and good luck.
Congratulations Bill that's a beautiful buck 👏 Keep up the great content always enjoy watching your videos
Thanks Warbird. I appreciate the comment and hope you are having a great day and a great season.
Congratulations Bill. Great day for sure.
Well done Bill!
Love those November mornings
Thanks Justin. It was a fun hunt. I hope you are doing well.
Liking those B3 broadheads on the end of those long spears you fling?? Sure looked effective. Congratulations
It is pretty wicked Kevin. Thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing well up there in MN.
I only like real deer hunting videos I love your videos and I really enjoy the hunting public guys also ❤🤘
Thanks Thomas. We appreciate the support.
Congrats... this is why you are the MAN... nice deer friend...
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to you.
Congrats!!! Glad to see you in the woods and not on the food plot.
I understand, but they both have their place. Gotta remember I am no longer a spring chicken!
Congrats Bill! You earned that Buck!!!!
Another great video! Thanks Bill and congratulations!
Thanks. Much appreciated. Have a great day.
That's the way to do it Bill
Thanks for the comment and the kind words. Have a great day.
Congratulations Bill that's an awesome buck! It's been a tough season here on public in central Iowa. The pressure really picked up steam after Halloween and I've yet to have a single encounter with a buck this season. Fingers are crossed something can change soon.
Couldnt wait for this one.... Congrats Bill !!
Thanks Gary. Much appreciated.
Congrats Bill on both deer…Neat!
Congratulations Bill.
Man Bill I had a surprise 10 at 30 yesterday morning and it was awesome...still no shot but great buck and congrats as usual
Awesome job Bill! Love the videos
Thanks Craig. I appreciate the comment. Good luck to you.
Great buck! Been waiting patiently to see this
flyer buck all bulled up!😳
He needs one of Ethan's broadheads in the boiler room big time.
Nice work, Bill! You earned it!
Favorite TH-cam channel. Good stuff as always
Thanks Eric. I appreciate the support and the comment. Have a great day.
Congrats Bill! Great buck and hunt!
Thanks Christopher. Much appreciated. Have a great day and good luck.
Awesome congratulations Bill!
I legitimately love Bill winke
Adam, I appreciate that. I hope you are having a great season.
Congrats Bill, that big 10 point has really nice coloring. Should make a pretty shoulder mount.
I appreciate that. I let intern Carsen have the cape. I mostly do European mounts now. Thanks for the comment.
Congrats Bill that’s a good one, I also have a 10 pointer I’m after in my woods, only a few pics of him at night it’s like hunting a ghost lol. Love the videos
Schuster, I hate those kind of bucks. They give you just enough hope to keep you hooked but never seem to come past in daylight. I hunted one like that in 2010. I hunted him for 55 days and never saw him! I vowed never to do that again. Good luck.
Congrats Bill! Beautiful Buck!
Thanks for the comment and support. Have a great day.
Congrats Bill! Nice work dropping that decoy first(;
Dennis, I have to admit, I enjoyed that part almost as much. Have a great day.
Congrats Bill, great buck
Thanks Bob. I appreciate it and hope you have a great day.
Nice buck Bill worth the wait!
Congratulations on the big surprise buck 🦌 that you remembered having limited history with. I definitely feel for Ethan. So close yet so far away. He will get him. 😃🏹🦌
It’s all part of the game. I appreciate the support. Good luck this season!
That’s awesome Bill!!!!!!
Way to grind it out!! Great job 👍
Outstanding!
Thanks Earl. Much appreciated. Have a great day.
I always enjoy your stuff. I don't have land like you do so that stuff isn't as appealing to me as your strategy stuff. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Woodsdog. I try not to have too much land stuff in the hunting series. I keep those series separate so the guys that have land have info/content that is really focused on their needs without bogging down the hunting series. Have a great day and I appreciate the support and comment.
great looking buck bill! congrats!
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.
I just new you were gunna slock a good one .love the channel.good job.
Man, you have more confidence in me than I have in myself. Thanks.
Congrats on the great buck Bill!! Lot of time left for you to pull off a double on the farm if I had to guess.
congrats on a beauty Bill!!!
Thanks PBR. Much appreciated.
I think you predicted you’d shoot one 11/7? So you were close. Great buck and worth the wait
11/7 has always been a great time. I like the 11/7 plus or minus three days most years. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
Very nice buck congratulations bud now it's your daughter's turn
Thanks Matt. She is still nursing her shoulder. I hope she is ready by late November. Good luck to you.
Oh there he is, there he is, don’t move don’t move don’t move!!! Camera man proceeds to immediately swing around from the back of the tree🤦
I saw that too. Made me laugh.
Haha, it’s the heat of the moment! Thanks for the support
@@ethan_stubbs no hate here, all fun and games! Best of luck to y’all!
Thanks! Have a great week.@@tylerblack1922
Congrats. God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
Thanks John. God Bless you too.
Great job. You put in the hard work, more than most. I enjoy watching videos where guys still hunt in the timber and not just blinds on food plots. I know you use some blinds, but you still use woodsmanship and kill them from stands in the woods!
There are days when I wished I had an 80 lb pullback on my bow...then there are days I'm glad its only 70lb pull.
Love your channel. Been watching your efforts for years...this is the first real cliff hanger you've left us with. Was that Jordan's Buck?
happy for you!
Thanks Jim. Much appreciated.
Congratulations!
Bill - You talk a little in this video about encountering a surprise buck in your hunting area. In a somewhat related question, do you feel that when you kill a buck in a given area another Buck will always slot into that spot? I've heard others say this occurs based on the environment having all the criteria bucks look for.
I am not sure if it is related to location features or just the general dispersal of bucks on a piece of land, but I do think that any given area can only support a certain number of aggressive dominant bucks. There are things you can do to improve that (namely making it thicker). If one leaves or is removed, another buck that was not the king will move into that area from somewhere else - even during the season. I have seen that happen several times. Good question.
Dream Big "Bigtime" brother 🙏
Thanks Edward. Same to you.
Could like the music during the action at all, but congrats on the the deer!
We will tone that down. Thanks and good luck.
Really nice buck congrats
Bill, I have a question for you. Just curious what those fields look like that you planted all those acorns in?
The stuff we planted last year are doing decent, not spectacular. The stuff we planted this year won't show anything until next spring. I will update in the spring to show results.
I saw a ton of bucks on the move yesterday in NE Iowa. Not much of a Mid November lull.
You were in the right spot at the right time to catch a hot doe - Try the same spot again today. It is all about being close to a hot doe at this time. if so you will think the rut is crazy. If not, you will think there aren't any bucks within 10 miles.
Congratulations chief
Thanks Ron. I really appreciate it. Have a great day.
