I really enjoy seeing the close calls and near successes! It makes me feel more normal as a hunter. Sometimes I watch y'all and I feel like I really need to step my game up, and sometimes I see it is just normal hunting! Another great video!
You guys are smart, ethical hunters and refrain from taking low percentage shots. You are a credit to all of us who try to hunt ethically and follow the rules of fair chase. Thank you.
Just wanted to let you guys know I’m going deer hunting with a buddy this Saturday for the first time and have been watching all your deer hunting videos lately super excited not expecting to get one but can’t get one from on the couch
Thanks guys for the video. I can tell by your liked numbers, A lot of people have given up on the season. Not realizing how many other big boys are still out there. Appreciate the effort as always. And thanks for putting out content that's real😊
Love seeing Aron rocking a hang on stand just like the good ole days. Great video guys I enjoyed it. Had a brute come straight in on me late October didn’t see him till he was 12 yards I could smell him before I seen him that’s how thick it was. He smelled me as soon as he was under me spun around and literally smacked into the tree I was in I didn’t know what to do didn’t even have my bow in hand.
Thanks so much for posting this one! This video is my entire season in 18 minutes. I have been pushing 30 days of hunts, been in the right spot all, but one day. I have seen deer all but one sit, even over 30 in one day. It just hasn't worked out for me for some reason I can't figure out. From atvs and people busting my hunts to sick deer and so many close calls. It is just how it goes sometimes. It can all change in just an instant!
what i like about your videos is the fact you dont just show kill videos or every video showing success. you give a real representation of how hunting is especially in the big woods. lately it feels like a video of just sitting in the woods for 8-10 hours with nothing but squirrels birds and wind would be an even better representation. tennessee hunting is tough on public land
4 November I had similar thing happen TWICE. Couldn’t get either deer to stop and I was at full draw. First one was average buck, second was a brute. Stole my heart. Loved it and never loosed an arrow
Thanks for all you do. I was reading some of the negative comments. Wonder how many states they hunted, how miles, how many hours hunting, and editing. How many deer have they harvested? I harvested my first buck in 1967. Don’t know how many I have put in the freezer and on the table. Safe to say I have better than one deer a year average. You all do just fine. I have no doubt your videos have helped many beginners. I have stopped watching some other hunting shows due to the attitude and personalities. I will never stop watching this one. Personal note, no one can ever do better than when that young man harvested that buck with the family model 94. Family goes deeper than blood. That segment is the tops for me. Keep it up. Don’t give the naysayers another thought
dude r u kidding me?!? that has got to be heartbreaking to have a big buck like that come that close and never present a shot. especially after as hard as you all have been hunting this year. keep on 'em boys, good things will happen!!
That's huntin'. Over thinking it, he came in cruising for a doe, and left cruising for a doe. Glad to see it doesn't only happen to me. Love your videos, please keep 'em coming!
You know I look back of all the times my dad took me deer hunting wen I was growing up I look back at those memories and we would always listen to Keith Whitley all the time may he rest in peace and will always be the greatest country singer RIP Keith Whitley may 9th 1989
Aaron, As soon as the video started on episode 42, and I heard you say, I’m gonna set up in the tree the deer were walking under. I cringed… I will usually setup 10 yards off a trail… The bucks will come barreling down those doe trails nose to the ground..Close one though, you still could have had him if he hadn’t circled behind that tree. Good hunt anyway.
Love THP, Greg reminds me of a math professor, Jake, an O’reilly’s clerk, Ted , Guitar Center customer that never buys, Aaron, Manager at Tractor Supply, Zach, the male worker at Ulta that weirds you out when you walk in to buy something for your wife. Love THP
No matter what, that's still a great hunt. Can't tell you how many times I've had that kind of luck. Hopefully, the next one will stop short of the tree cover.
Another great video! One thing to point out is how that buck knew where the doe was is that these deer can smell from 400yrds away and a doe giving off scent is what his nose is keyed in on. Keep at it fellas!!
Damn it man!!! That is just the way it goes sometimes with a rutting buck. How many hunters do you think this happened to this year? You literally had 30 seconds from him being visible to invisible. I give y’all props for putting yourselves on the deer wherever y’all go.
I was chuckling when he didn’t know what to say. I mean, I was heartbroken when that big buck headed out of there, but the look on Aaron’s face was funny.
Same crap with me too! I’m in VA have seen more deer this year in a while but just not able to get shots on the big ones! I’m just grateful to hunt and it will happen when it happens! Good luck boys stick with it 🦌🦌👊
Have had a few of them close enough to spit on. That always gets the heart going. Better luck next time boys. Season ain't over yet. Have a merry Christmas 👍 Keep warm, drive safe and good luck.
I have a Tactacam 5.0 & i control it totally with the remote. The remote actually shows the seconds & minutes on the top so u know u r recording. It works great & i need to get a 5.0 Wide & then both were turn on with the press of a button. Not enough opportunities here in MN to be moving when they r on their way in.
I'm telling you this style of hunting is so stressful in a good and bad way. Where I live I'm surrounded by ag fields and baiting is legal. So I've always hunted ag field edges or baited. I set up cell cams so I know what to expect and around what times. This year I completely switched to mobile hunting and I love it. I change my spots non stop. I hardly ever touch my cameras anymore and I scout non stop. So far I've had 3 big bucks come within 20 yards. I didn't get them which sucked. No shot opportunities, but on the one buck i paniced and spooked him, but it's magical. I did harvest a couple does already though. Which is great. Thanks guys for giving me confidence
Man seeing him walking with those horns in front like that gives me chills. If he trips and fall on them, it’d be real easy to get gouged in the chest or getting one in the eye. Always tie bind them on your back with the tines away from your body.
Man that was a Toad brother! When I saw him running up the hill , I was pulling for you to get a shot. Yeah I don’t agree with trying to stop him in all situations, like the Arkansas buck, but you absolutely did the right thing. He wasn’t stopping. Man I was wanting you to get him! I’m getting skunked so far this year. I’m in Mississippi and it’s December, so it’s looking up for buck movement!!
@@matthewbeers7746 They both tagged out early bow season and early muzzleloader. They have had some close ones out of state, but the two with Iowa residence tagged out. In my opinion the new intern has cost them some deer.
Man, that's still quite the hunt. At first I was thinking you could have been 1 tree closer to where the spike passed. But, then it turned out you should'a been a tree closer. When the big fella' passed; you could have been 2 trees further away. That! My friends is called hunting; as good as it gets! Great hunt! Really appreciate the super fast-pace uploads! There is always something to watch = everyone appreciates the effort you all put into this. It would be a dream to have the time to hunt like you all do =( picture it in my mind ) But I get by and do my hunts in the way I can each season...and I have a pretty good idea what it would entail to hunt harder where I am in Quebec. Much Respect!
Tough break on that one. This has been the toughest season i’ve ever had. plenty of trail cam pics but only 5 deer seen since October 1 while in stand. Little discouraging but love just being out.
You and Cole some years it just goes like that. That is why it is called hunting! Sometimes the hunting gods go your way and sometimes they favor the deer. Just keep hunting because that is who we are...
Awesome footage fellas. The words that DIDN'T come out of your mouth at 10:07 were very clear :) Man if you haven't been there, you haven't bowhunted long enough! That's exactly what I would've done too, so when you figure out something better to do in that scenario, please let us know!! I truly believe that old buck heard you, knew exactly where you were, and put that cedar tree between the 2 of you on purpose. They're lucky, but they're also smart! Good luck in the coming days 😎
Seems like you're having a similar season to me, Aaron haha. I finally lost patience here in Ohio and took advantage of the gun season to fill my freezer. Ended up getting a little buck on public land but it's all good, it was a good hunt and he's good meat for my family!
Wow! Great hunt! Nice Buck! There wasn't anything else you could have done to get that buck. Still a cool hunt. You don't have to harvest to have a fun hunt.
I’ve had same thing happen with one of the biggest bucks I ever seen. He was 10 yds and I couldn’t get a shot he got around me walked 250 yds down and my buddy got him and he scored 187 7/8” im just happy one of us got him. Still a great memory for me either way.
Nothing you could do about that warb, tough break but awesome hunt. I liked the way you pushed closer into the cedar edge, definitely put you into position, just don’t come together.
I really enjoy seeing the close calls and near successes! It makes me feel more normal as a hunter. Sometimes I watch y'all and I feel like I really need to step my game up, and sometimes I see it is just normal hunting! Another great video!
When aaron leaned against that tree i felt that in my soul. 9:56
Same I felt that yo
Jim’s music at the end…HILARIOUS!
You guys are smart, ethical hunters and refrain from taking low percentage shots. You are a credit to all of us who try to hunt ethically and follow the rules of fair chase. Thank you.
Heartbreaker! Prime example of how you can do everything right and it still might not come together! Hope you get another chance at him Aaron!
Just wanted to let you guys know I’m going deer hunting with a buddy this Saturday for the first time and have been watching all your deer hunting videos lately super excited not expecting to get one but can’t get one from on the couch
You never know what is going to happen. Good luck!!
What happened!? Did you have fun?
Thanks guys for the video. I can tell by your liked numbers, A lot of people have given up on the season. Not realizing how many other big boys are still out there. Appreciate the effort as always. And thanks for putting out content that's real😊
i kicked up a big 6 and a small 8 yesterday they’re just bedded down in the thick shit
We’re just getting started here in North Florida.
One of my favorite THP videos! I could feel the adrenaline coursing and the heart pounding!!! What an adventure!
Love seeing Aron rocking a hang on stand just like the good ole days. Great video guys I enjoyed it. Had a brute come straight in on me late October didn’t see him till he was 12 yards I could smell him before I seen him that’s how thick it was.

Man that was quite some buck, had a rack like a Mule Deer, big split G2's on both sides!
Ol Warb's Missouri drawl has reached its apex hunting back home. 👍
That big ol boy was prancing around like a daggum ballerina once he heard warb grunt at him 😂😂😂

Man that’s tough luck! The one tree you didn’t want him to stop behind he did. Crazy how fast it can happen. Especially during the rut.
4 November I had similar thing happen TWICE. Couldn’t get either deer to stop and I was at full draw. First one was average buck, second was a brute. Stole my heart. Loved it and never loosed an arrow
Hate it when that happens.Just makes me hunt harder and smarter.gotta love bow hunting.Good luck.Youll getam next time.
Thanks for all you do. I was reading some of the negative comments. Wonder how many states they hunted, how miles, how many hours hunting, and editing. How many deer have they harvested?

Keep it up. Don’t give the naysayers another thought
Right location, right time, right wind, right buck, wrong script!
Aaron gets that southern draw when he's around southern brothers😂😂 Keep it coming good stuff
dude r u kidding me?!? that has got to be heartbreaking to have a big buck like that come that close and never present a shot. especially after as hard as you all have been hunting this year. keep on 'em boys, good things will happen!!
Its not the first time that buck has had someone grunt to stop him lol. Damn thing started trying to dodge the shot 😅
I always thought Aaron was Southern on road trips, but here he is sounding Southern in his home state y'all!
That's huntin'. Over thinking it, he came in cruising for a doe, and left cruising for a doe.
Glad to see it doesn't only happen to me.
Love your videos, please keep 'em coming!

I am hunting crown land in south western Ontario. Everything is a shooter at this point.
What a Mongo! Smart too. That’s why he’s so huge. Nice stuff as usual guys!
No matter what, that's still a great hunt. Can't tell you how many times I've had that kind of luck. Hopefully, the next one will stop short of the tree cover.
Another great video! One thing to point out is how that buck knew where the doe was is that these deer can smell from 400yrds away and a doe giving off scent is what his nose is keyed in on. Keep at it fellas!!
Cant win them all but thats why its so sweet when it all comes together!
Mule deer buck!!!! That one hurts for sure, all the hard work that goes into them hunts
Damn it man!!! That is just the way it goes sometimes with a rutting buck. How many hunters do you think this happened to this year? You literally had 30 seconds from him being visible to invisible. I give y’all props for putting yourselves on the deer wherever y’all go.
Great footage boys love this channel! 3 years watchin and counting! Awesome!🤙
Love the big timber hunts!!!
Would love to see an updated video from Greg on the camera gear you guys use now. Keep up the great work!
That was a heck of a buck split G2's
Way to keep your composure Aaron. You definitely put yourself in the right tree. That was a very good buck. I hope you get a crack at him 🤞🏼
I was chuckling when he didn’t know what to say. I mean, I was heartbroken when that big buck headed out of there, but the look on Aaron’s face was funny.
Will Primos would say this ain't Hollywood. I really enjoyed this video watching from South Carolina
And thats why we hunt. Sometimes we win. Alot of times not so much.
Stick at it, anxious for the next move in this spot.
Top 3 of ur videos in my opinion. Mad respect for ya on not taking a shot when not a good one.
Dang Warb! That was a really nice buck! Better luck next time
Love the big woods hunts! Keep it up guys and don’t pay attention to all the haters out there. Y’all are doing a lot of great things for the sport!
Same crap with me too! I’m in VA have seen more deer this year in a while but just not able to get shots on the big ones! I’m just grateful to hunt and it will happen when it happens! Good luck boys stick with it 🦌🦌👊
Love how guys describe close proximity by what bodily fluids they can get to that distance! 😂
Have had a few of them close enough to spit on. That always gets the heart going. Better luck next time boys. Season ain't over yet.
Have a merry Christmas 👍
Keep warm, drive safe and good luck.

Now THAT'S a Very Disciplined hunter!!! Great restraint Aaron!!! No Bad Shot... No Injured Deer!!!

That was one sweet buck! I could feel the anxiety myself.
Man… y’all are having a tough year. We’re rooting for you! He was a good one! Stay on em Arron!
Tough year? Jake and Ted tagged out in Iowa, or did you miss that?
@@johndyer9232 I saw Ted’s but must have missed Jake’s. The episodes I’ve seen seem to have lots of these close encounters but just not quite.
@@matthewbeers7746 They both tagged out early bow season and early muzzleloader. They have had some close ones out of state, but the two with Iowa residence tagged out. In my opinion the new intern has cost them some deer.
@@johndyer9232 oh no! Lol, poor kid.
ive learned over the years when a buck is running like that the best way to stop em is to yell "HEY!" instead of doing the normal "meh"
Man, that's still quite the hunt.
At first I was thinking you could have been 1 tree closer to where the spike passed.
But, then it turned out you should'a been a tree closer.

Much Respect!
I like the fact u guys r real no fake shit and all the actual footage and all good footage thank you
Man! Reminds me of your hunt in the marsh unit with Barber in 2017 hanging stands and that 10 point came by and freaked out when you grunted at him.
Tough break on that one. This has been the toughest season i’ve ever had. plenty of trail cam pics but only 5 deer seen since October 1 while in stand. Little discouraging but love just being out.
Been a long time since we’ve seen any of y’all in a lock on
It never fails they come from the last place you think they’re coming from!!
Great hunt ! Never forget the ones that get away when there that close.
Double split G2’s, I thought Aaron was gonna cry lol. Hell I know I would’ve 😂
Where is the Wisconsin gun season video
Ive been waiting for that too.
Been wondering the same. Need some zach and jake otherwise why watch lol
I cant wait any longer 😂😂
I heard all the footage was lost due to a bad SD Card or something.
AGREED. COME ON JAKE
You and Cole some years it just goes like that. That is why it is called hunting! Sometimes the hunting gods go your way and sometimes they favor the deer. Just keep hunting because that is who we are...
I swear you guys can’t catch a break. Loving the videos! keep it up someone will put one on the ground
Daggone it!! That was so close!! Y’all doing it right just bad luck on where he stopped!!
You guys should make some rain gear for hunting eventually! Quality of the clothing so far I like it alot. Keep doing what you do
Lol I felt your pain, man. That was rough.
Awesome footage fellas. The words that DIDN'T come out of your mouth at 10:07 were very clear :) Man if you haven't been there, you haven't bowhunted long enough!

Cold beer and some food!! ☝️☝️🫡😎😊
It's wild in 50 minutes you guys at 11.5 THOUSAND views. That is a feat to me proud of
If he didn't notice the split G2s in the moment I'm sure this video hurt worse when he watched it later.
Dang! What a thrill. That was a great buck 😮
Ouch that hurts. But I bet it got your heart pumping
Seems like you're having a similar season to me, Aaron haha.
I finally lost patience here in Ohio and took advantage of the gun season to fill my freezer. Ended up getting a little buck on public land but it's all good, it was a good hunt and he's good meat for my family!
Big boy probably had other hunters try stopping him and was able to recognize it
When the buck stopped behind that tree… I felt that ☠️
As a fellow Missourian...its been hard out here. My second season. First with a bow. Seen alot of deer. Havent been able to position myself right yet.
Great episode. Thank you for sharing.
Love every video, finally finished catching up on the last 2 I hadn’t watch and then this one dropped 👍
Thanks for the video!! Keeps me going!!
Whoa Nellie.....man that was a goodun.
Absolutely brutal to get him that close and not get a shot! Beautiful buck and encounter though!
Wow! Great hunt! Nice Buck! There wasn't anything else you could have done to get that buck. Still a cool hunt. You don't have to harvest to have a fun hunt.
Here I am in 2024, still sad that Aaron didn’t get a shot on this deer. Honestly kind of pissed off about it because that was a stud!
Damn split G2s!!! I’ve been there boys but I still love bow hunting
I’ve had same thing happen with one of the biggest bucks I ever seen. He was 10 yds and I couldn’t get a shot he got around me walked 250 yds down and my buddy got him and he scored 187 7/8” im just happy one of us got him. Still a great memory for me either way.
Close one Warb! Hey, if you ain’t out there tryin it definitely ain’t happening. Close call hope you get him next time.
Fun hunt to watch! Been there twice this year, no shot, tuff year , yeah where's the Wisconsin gun season!
This hunt was the day of my birthday
Nothing you could do about that warb, tough break but awesome hunt. I liked the way you pushed closer into the cedar edge, definitely put you into position, just don’t come together.
That stings. Good video guys
Y’all boys need a can call!!!
Tough year for THP!
sums up my season right there
Dang man that's one smart buck.
