I’m an audiologist in WV with a private practice. I have hunted my whole life, wear hearing aids, and love the sounds of the outdoors. If you can make it out to WV I will get you set up with hearing protection and hearing aids - you won’t regret getting back what you are missing. Great buck - thanks for taking us along!
Explain the shot is just priceless. Having that understanding will help anyone who bow hunts.
Great buck! But I think im more impressed that I haven’t seen one comment asking “whats it score?” Finally because of a few channels like this one we’re building a community again of people just enjoying hunting for what it is, and not just a deers score
I think score can be important in gauging the quality of the genetics, as well as the ethics of nearby hunters, and the herds overall health. The score isn't just about who shot the bigger deer, it can also be about who is managing their wildlife herds more successfully and keeping a healthier balance of mature animals. an 8 point can either be a 2 year old "hat rack" 8 or it can be a 9 year old monarch of a deer on the downhill slope of its growth. Score helps give perspective to an animal you cannot physically handle and helps others understand the size and maturity of the animal. I agree its not always about score from a trophy standpoint. I have a 3 year old 152" 15 point i killed with my dad 6 years ago that will never be topped on my trophy wall for importance. Unless i kill one bigger with my future kids or again my dad, I doubt ill ever have a deer that means more to me. But that isnt to say I have no ambition to hunt a take a larger deer someday. two years later i was after a huge 10 that I found dead during rifle season. Scored 166 5/8's and was probably 5-6 years old. Even if i shot that deer with my bow, it wouldn't have meant as much to me as the 15 dubbed "Chip." And i was really gunning for him because I had not shot a buck with my bow by then. I was saving it for something really nice then settled for a young goofy cull buck in 2020 during my quarantine. lol
What’s it’s score?
@@officerfoxtrot3633 Ethics of nearby hunters? Ethics has everything to do with a clean kill, putting in the work to find the deer you shot, butchering, cleaning and using all the meat, abiding by state law, and being fair and respectful to other hunters in the area. Ethics are applied equally to a doe as it is a mature buck and nothing to do with score.
Everything else you said I 100% agree with. Good luck to you in future hunts!
Thank you....finally someone willing to open a deer up and do some real shot education! Congrats on a great deer and a great video!
One of the best deer videos I've seen. No hunter wants to make a bad shot but it happens eventually. This was a great learning experience.
Never underestimate these animals will to live and escape danger.
Facts
@Mervin Hamby that came out of nowhere lol
@Micah Rohan uh ohh
Congrats for that beautiful buck.
One thing I always notice from hunting with a bow, when letting the arrow go 100% of the time deers tend to get low to get on their back legs in order to take off hard as soon as they hear the action. I’ve seen numerous videos where the arrow passed over the back missing it completely. So the further the deer, more chances that the arrow will miss high on his back, or hits him high. Because of the distance that deer has extra second to jump and run. My point is , always aim lower if the deer is more than 25 yards away so this never happens. Myself I never hunted with bows. I harvest all my deers with slugs, but I enjoy watching hunting it with a bow.
Great buck, and great job not giving up on him. We say it all the time, and it never loses any relevance, these animals are incredibly resilient creatures. Deer have no quit.
Thats the truth I seen unbelievable things with these animals. You half to double lung them
Congrats on finishing the deal Josh! I had a similar episode recently with a buck. Quartering to me at 12 yd. I put it behind the shoulder and squeezed the trigger when he paused on his own. The buck was trailing a doe and I never stopped him. He took a step just as the arrow was released. Impact was back a bit and magnified by the qtr to me angle. The buck mule kicked and WALKED into the thicket. I thought he was DRT just in the edge of thicket. It was 30 min before dark. I waited til well after dark to climb down. When i lowered my bow, i caught his outline by moonlight walking deeper into the bush. I collected my blood covered arrow and retreated til the following morning with my retriever, Rufus and my brother by another mother. . 15 hours later, Rufus tracked him down for a follow up shot with the shotgun. Black Hornet broadhead barely clipped the rear of one lung and severed liver. Intestines plugged the exit. I was fortunate to get him. I should’ve placed my pin dead in the shoulder with my 500+ grain arrow. A few inches back almost cost me a solid buck. What a rodeo, but we got him! Lessons learned in the field. Thank the good Lord, my hunting buddy, and Rufus! 👍🏼👍🏼
appreciate you going through the shot and the autopsy. Revealed a lot.
Revealed he shouldn't have shot the deer in the water for damn sure. After viewing the tape, that deer had a excellent chance of surviving and he knew it. Greedy slob.
@@dukeman7595 the deer was hurting bad. Might have survived but might not have as well. But I'll play along and say even if that deer would survive you still have to try your best to harvest a wounded animal, why would you not do your best to finish a wounded animal even if there's a good chance the deer is gonna survive. Not to mention its not like he knew the deer would survive before that finishing shot. Arrow through top of both lungs not so sure the deer would have survived. Might not have died that day or the next but pretty good chance eventually coyotes would run him down

Thanks for doing an autopsy on this shot, too many hunting shows leave us hanging when they have to give a deer an extra. Doing this will benefit everyone in the long run.
I really appreciate the analysis at the end of the video. Great video.
Awesome to not only show exactly where the entry hole was but to show the placement on the inside from that angle. Definitely gonna give hunters watching a better essay for future shot placements and wait time for a whitetail/what they should do in a similar situation! Always learning!
I remember when Josh was on Midwest with everyone, haven't seen much since but the dude knows his stuff.
That is a beautiful buck. Looking at that shot, I would've reacted just like you. This has been very informative. Thank you
Your velcome. And ve have learned much from yous as vell.
Really, looking at the shot placement I would bet $ that buck would have died within a few hours… crazy… CONGRATS BUD!
Awesome job! I love that he showed internally where he hit the deer. Very informative and educational. I wish more people would do that.
That dog has found a bunch of deer this year. Glad Kansas allows dogs now.
Can't use a dog to retrieve a deer?
I’m glad to see nobody was bashing him for shooting the deer in the water. Eventually that deer would have died of a bad infection and it would’ve been lost forever congratulations brother
It’s illegal in Georgia to take an animal in water.
@@jayandrew87 same in FL and then some would look at it as unlawful waste....lol can’t when or lose some times
Same in Michigun
Butchered one with a big vortex expandable healed over in a buck lung and I believe John Everhart killed one with the end of a fishing rod broke off in 1 lung go figure.
No bashing from me. Yea it’s illegal in a lot of states including mine but there’s a big difference In finishing a wounded animal and being a slob and busting a deer in the water. I’ve done the same thing.
Every seasoned hunter knew it was time to call a dog that can bay up a deer. Nothing taken from the hunter. He made a great call, and also got his buck. Great video to watch.
I dont like to name deer but that deer needs to be named the Kick Stand buck. His droptine holds his head up perfectly.
Thank you for the shot breakdown. We need more of that on hunting videos.
Awesome buck. Really dig the autopsy. It's the best way to learn and teach every hunter from new to old. The information you learn from autopsies is priceless. 🎯🍺
Thank you for adding in the shot placement and what vitals were in the mix! I feel like that's super important to break down and learn on every shot.
Im ready for the turkery tour!
Me too love watching these guys hunt anything lol... I'm ready for turkey season in April here. I'm coyote trapping now so turkeys are next lol.
Buck or doe it sucks when you get a hit like that and it doesn't kill them quickly. Glad to see it all worked out for you and congrats on a stud of a buck, that buck looks like it's well over 200lbs what a brute. As always be safe and stay healthy my friend.
That shot was on the edge of "no man's land"
Another inch higher and it would still be alive
Yes, but only because it was so far forward
@@Marnette88 I mean personally left and right it looked perfect to me, right behind the shoulder where the lungs are, if his arrow was 3-4 inches lower he would center punched both lungs and the deer would've ran about 100 yards and piled up, but that's my opinion vs yours
Wow, congrats! That's an absolute buck of a lifetime to me. Thanks for breaking down the shot and the post-mortem too. Very helpful
Beautiful buck. I agree with an old Primos video, past 25 yards, shoot where the hair meets the air behind the front shoulder. Its amazing how fast they react!
Thanks to the boys for the Kansas footage! Loving the bonus content!
Awesome video,so glad you got him and showed how the arrow went through.
I love how thorough this video was, from the broadhead used to the shot, and what it took to finally bag such a fantastic buck. 👍
Like every video and every crew member on the deer tour. Gods speed to you all and thanks again to The Hunting Public 👍🇺🇸
My good friend Ben Allen and amazing dog “buzz”! Small world. Always something to learn from every shot. Good work staying with it and recovering the buck.
Man thanks I couldn’t remember his name! I knew I’ve met him before. Surprised they didn’t give him a shout out for helping on the recovery
Ben and Buzz are the best around at finding deer!
Great buck none the less. Great learning experience for all of us.
Nice deer great recovery thanks for showing the deer filled dressed to show where your shot went
Everyone at Hunting Public do a spectacular job in providing great content for the viewers that hunt or learning to hunt. Your videos are very professional, educational, and most enjoyable to watch. For someone like myself that can’t get around well in the woods, I very much appreciate your efforts.
What county in Kansas was this drop tine harvested.
Thanks again for all your “FareChase” hunting.
Jeff
Great job Josh and crew. It’s nice that you shared so many details for us to learn. Lots of work and effort to harvest that deer. Well done sir.
Great job!! Really appreciate the view from the inside and what happened to the deer after the shot with the lungs super informative.
Looks like the deer has a fold out kickstand the way he had it set up laying down😂
Beautiful buck congrats. That's a wild ass drop time. Love the follow up on shot placement.
Stayed after him , all you could do. End of the day he went in the back of the truck. A lot of hunters would’ve never recovered him. Congrats sir
Good job on the recovery! Thanks for laying out the truth. We have all been there and many of us will be there again. Congrats!Good job!
Great hunt and deer. Thanks for taking the time to really analyze the shot and process. This is priceless experience, especially for us newer hunters
Congrats Josh. Great job all. Everyones happy except the Tracking Dog. You stole his thunder!
This cat is a great hunter with a phenomenal piece of property. Congratulations Josh on an awesome hunt
Congratulations on a symmetrical main frame 6X6 with a drop! Definitely would recommend a broadhead change. Montecs just don't produce the hemorrhage like others do. See Ranch Ferry or Wensel Woodsmans. Well done on the recovery. Fortunately you were in open country. Thanks for sharing 🏹🇺🇸✌
Beautiful buck, can't say I have ever seen a drop tine like that
Best and real hunting on TH-cam congratulations brother buck of a lifetime
Not going to lie. I couldn’t get into the deer tour this year. I’ve been so busy with work and personal stuff. I normally watch every single episode it drives my wife absolutely insane. I’ve followed you guys for years now. Learned a ton. But right now I’m ready for this snow to melt and for the turkey tour. Some long beard action. Some beard and spur measurements. Give us a taste of this upcoming season. You guys are great.
Awesome buck! Always look forward to the Kansas hunts with Josh. The deer really like that draw and cover in there. Great spot and way to stick with it too and get it on film!
Older the deer the smarter and tougher they are! Congrats on finding him n getting another shot off
Great self filmed hunt. Thanks for breaking down the shots and what you hit...
Great buck! Another benefit of adult arrows is the downward trajectory.... always... placement is key ,but had he had an adult arrow the lob in factor would’ve guided the arrow lower into the second lung. Especially at 40 yds! Get on board the RF train Josh! Great tool for knowledge Greg! Take some time and help him out Greg!
That was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could hear you breathing hard before you shot , my heart was starting to pump. I could feel the thumping starting
Dam!!!! Droptine!!!!!! That’s a DREAM that I have all the time. Wow !!!!!!
Congratulations, what a giant and great work on explaining to the audience the lesson learned from it.
Been waiting on the boys from Kansas to make a showing. Real nice buck Josh!
Man glad you got him. Deer are tough as nails
Great hunt for an awesome animal. So glad to see that you were able to get a dog to track him and ultimately capitalize on what could have ended up in misery for the buck.
When I pulled up the thumbnail my littlest, sees Josh and says "GI JOE?" LOL thanks for the awesome hunts! If I could hunt any state I'd pick Kansas i
Pretty country 👌
Funny... my 7yr old is hooked on watching Joe before she heads to school everyday
He does look a lot like Chaning Tatum.
@@noro305 yo Joe lol
@@joepople7667 magic Mike?? 🤔
You got to love that ever present Kansas wind!!
This is where I contemplate using my sevrs 2.0 vs tooth of the arrow 4 blade fixed, definitely with wider cut mech you would have cut more lung and did more damage. It’s a hard pick and is why I keep both heads in my quiver. Great vid
Wow what a deer. Same thing happened to me in 2018. Hit a buck and he bedded close, so I snuck up and put 2 more into him. He didn't hardly flinch. Tough animals... 138" 8 pt
Great job sharing the follow up people need to realize a big mature buck doesn’t just fold up like a doe or young buck
Someone call the Ranch Fairy...
And then what?
The Ranch Fairy is always watching.
@@BrotherWind The Ranch Fairy consults the wizard, who tells us to shoot heavier arrow builds. XD
@@mowerds33 got to hit them in a better spot don't matter the arrow build i shot my 2nd biggest buck this year i shot thru both shoulders broke off 5 inch on entrance side. Blood like you poured it out of a bucket 300 yards then it went to drops then nothing. Went back 3 days grid searches and never found it. I shoot fmj 75g insert 100 grain exodus fixed blade. 550 grain set up but I should have let him take one more step from out behind tree but I thought where I hit him should have hit the heart but guess I was a little forward...
@@justinsigmon1878 tough story
You must have been torqueing your bow or something Buddy, watching slow motion how the arrow flies to the deer you can see that it looks like a twizzler going through the air. So glad you found him what an awesome animal. May want to check to make sure your rest is in tune as well.
Thanks for the autopsy. At that distance, you can hear the arrow approaching, so he may have ducked at the sound of the approaching arrow as well as the bow going off. To test this, set up a camera by your target at forty yards and you will see what I am talking about. You will hear the sound of the bow and then a short hiss as the arrow approaches. I have considered holding almost six oclock at the bottom of a deer, especially at longer range, because I do think they react more often than not. Glad you were able to recover. Thanks for sharing.
Man those really mature animals like that buck can go for a while after being shot we all here stories of a deer someone shot and they find an arrow in them or a bullet like Jake and his gun buck that had a crossbow bolt in it whitetails are tough great job 🏹🦌👊
Awesome! Congrats!!! Thanks for telling the whole story. This is top 10 videos on the internet. Well done.
Great buck. Every one of us have had a shot like that. Way to stay on him and get the job done.
Very informative and glad you were persistent on recovering him. They are tough critters.
Lots of talk about hitting lower, but my biggest concern was how far forward you aimed on a quartering away shot. Two inches further back may have had e a difference. Aim for the far leg when quartering away. Great deer, great effort on the recovery. I had to chase down two animals this year, one of mine and one for someone else. Not every shot is perfect. Glad you got him.
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing that information josh. Very useful info for new and veterans of the archery hunters.
I love Josh’s hunts. He is class.
Now thats a friend, willing to go for a swim in Nov for a buddy. Nice job guys
Been waiting all day for this to drop! Bring on turkey tour 21’!
I love your honesty. Congrats on a lifetime buck!
What an adventure! Way to stick with it and great recovery. Thanks for sharing.
Man y’all make me wish deer season never ended!!!!
In NY that shot in the pond is illegal. But lucky it’s not NY.
Same for PA.
Same in Arkansas
Half way through a conference call with a good customer and a new THP video becomes available. The anxiety sets in and I start making excuses of why I need to go. These guys are the best of the best.
Y’all got me jacked up for opening day in SC
Never would have though that deer would have still been on his feet.
Awesome stuff.
I was always taught that I should aim heart level tight behind the shoulder on further bow shots so that if they duck, it's a double lung. If they don't, it's a back of the heart shot... Worked for me this year at 52 yards because he didn't duck. I knicked bone on the shoulder but still got 19 inches of penetration and caught the heart enough with one of my blades to shut it off. I think I knicked the lungs as well but Im not sure. I accidentally tore them up pulling them out.
Good evening y'all. deer seasons never over just in the prep phase now
Very informative video and a great buck! Wish you guys would show what organs you hit more often.
Excellent job of going over the shot placement!!!
How have I not seen this, incredible follow trough.
Awesome hunt and kill. Love the info at the end. More shows need to do that
Jeez that’s a giant limb that got cut haha but very nice deer congrats on the Harvest.
I commend you on showing the total recovery of that magnificent buck. Many times on video there is too much before the shot nonsense and the only followup is the last couple yards, making like every kill is recovered within 100 yards. Congrats on the great buck and the total recovery because if you hunt long enough you will experience something similar.
Currently rewatching the 2020 turkey tour and very much hoping jake is doing another sturgeon spearing series this yearn
Deer got a kickstand. I would call him the kick stand buck.
Lol I killed one just like that this yr. Now everyone calls that stand the kickstand!
@@csoultrain80 nice. Congrats bud. I had the worst season ever. Hopefully next year is better for me.
awesome job tracking that deer...congratulations on your successful hunt.
Man I would love to meet the T.H.P guys and show them some sweet state land here in Michigan
I'm sure that swimming was not part of the original plan. But good on you for being willing to just get it done.
Kansas and nebraska have to have the same deer. They always have that look to them. Beautiful deer
Nice buck. Those long shots give the buck time to move. Well done.
You keep wackin um can't wait for the turkey action!
That’s a nice Kansas Bruiser! Great content and can’t wait to watch the Turkey Tour 2021! Please go to South Carolina! If you do please host an event. It would be very popular and successful due to the number of turkey hunters in this area, and for good reason... there are tons of turkeys!
