When you said it took you an hour to walk in I started calculating the drag out from my own experience and came up with 4 hours. Doing it in 3 while doing camera work is impressive. I would like to say in 30 years of hunting I have learned to only shoot deer uphill from the road but it never fails, I shoot a deer, turn to look in the direction of the car and there is always a hill between the deer and the car.
Love the closing. Just reminding people of how blessed we are for health to get out and enjoy creation. Missing this year cause of back surgery is a reminder of taking time to really appreciate what we have when we have it! Love the video!
MeatEater hands down is the best outdoors/hunting/trapping/fishing show out! Every year/new season the guys outdo themselves & keep Putting out a product that gets better and better! Rinella, Cal, Yanny & Clay are an all star group of guys that can do it all & do an excellent job of explaining, educating, showing how to properly do things and leave it better than it was! #RinellaforPresident #YanisforVicePresident #ClayandCalforSpeakeroftheHouseSecretaryofState #RoganforSecretaryofDefense #MeatEaterGovernmentForThePeopleByThePeople
Janis you are indeed a badass! Your set-up was fantastic as was your documentation of the entire hunt. So great to see you drop the hammer on an absolutely gorgeous buck, congrats from Canada brother!
Fall whitetail is easily my favourite time of the year. Crisp weather, leaves changing, squirrels sounding like 14 pointers and some quality time with my boys. I secretly pray that I don't shoot anything until later in the season; extend that out as long as possible. Man, I'd love to get a hunt in with Janis! Such a cool dude. Love to watch the Latvian Eagle fly!
Big time congrats Janis! The picture you painted in your description of the sights, sounds, and smells while hunting WI’s Whitetail rut is exactly what I’ve been blessed with for the past 4 plus decades. And it never gets old. I was so looking forward to seeing you, dad, and bro, breaking bread over a mouth watering back strap culinary delight, and talking Norwegian smack to one another. Hopefully we’ll being able to witness that during your 2022 rutcation! Thanks for that awesome hunt!
You are bad ass.pulling a buck around that size in your forties is no easy task. 😢 I'm 49 this year. Wish me luck.got about 4 more weeks to wait.good luck everyone.
Very nice buck and congratulations. For all those who drag a deer out of the woods. Free advice. Take the front legs and put them in the antlers. Use a drag rope around the head/neck. When you lift the front third of the deer comes off the ground. Use for does as well. Even in the dry leaves it is easier to drag out a deer. On Wisconsin!
Thanks Janis, so nice to see you self shoot and capture the hunt so well, It's not easy for us plebians that don't have camera crews to follow us around. I bet you felt way more deadly with less people in the bush
That was a cracking shoot Jani. Text book... Great filming too. I'd say that's very very difficult. I live in Ireland, where archery hunting isn't allowed (at present 🤞), and I'd love to one day come to the States and do a bit of archery hunting for whitetail or elk or anything for that matter... Great stuff lads 👍🏼
Corollary you could determine that periods of inattention are necessary as your success rate goes up because you were goofing off. Congratulations on the nice buck. Thank you for the video.
A very cruel way to kill a deer. A slow death as compared to a well placed Bullet. I like my hunting (for meat only ) and I can honestly state that every bow hunter that I have ever met has been a self centred excuse for a hunter.
@@lyellclare9365 I am very sorry to hear you have had that perception. I can say without a doubt that its not most bowhunters, and that I also know people that I would share that sentiment towards. Bowhunters by and large are truly the most dedicated and skilled hunters. No one that just wants to aimlessly kill just chooses to shorten their effective range to 30 yards or less. The bow and arrow being one of the ancient hunting tools is an extremely effective way of harvesting animals in a humane manor. If you consider the alternative "natural" death for any animal (which is by predatorisation or sickness) the shot that Janis made was remarkable and very humane for that deer. As hunters a good shot and quick kill should be ALL of our ethos but its not. I know far more Elmer Fudd gun hunters than bow hunters. Dudes that bumble around the woods and kill anything and everything. That is not hunting. I truly believe that MeatEater is an incredible show that encapsulates what it means to be a hunter/conservationist. I am sorry to hear how you feel towards bow hunting and hope one day you meet someone that genuinely loves wildlife as guys like Janis or myself do and use a bow to hunt ethically and do it right. It is also refreshing to see someone life yourself that hunts yet still values the lives of animals. That should be everyone's heart towards hunting thus drive our ethos of taking GOOD shots and knowing our equipment to make a swift death.
@@lyellclare9365 I’ve never met a gun hunter that knew as much, cared as much, and took as much time for an ethical shot than a bow hunter.. and I do both but I’ve known more gun hunters to take several shots and more bow hunters who only need one shot..
@@lyellclare9365 wow your miserable, too busy casting hate to educate yourself on the matter. Hunters do the most for all game with no close 2nd, we hunt for the beauty the passion, the emotion, the meat, the family at camp. You know…too busy squeezing the most out of life to care about internet preachers projecting exactly what they are composed of. Read more, do more, talk less
@@EthanPageHunter 100%………I lack the patience to defend my hunting practices to yuppies. Glad you do, more of you and we d hear less of them. They agitate me something fierce lol
Awesome hunt! I love watching the western hunts and other crazy things I can only dream of doing, but there is something really special about seeing a hunt that looks like mine in a tree in Minnesota.
My dad's first buck back in Minnesota after 12 years of living in Tulsa was right underneath him and he wouldn't of seen it if he didn't try to light his smoke
Congrats on that beautiful buck. Heehaw. Meat in the freezer. I haven't hunted in WI in 25-30 years. I got my first deer last year out my back Door behind my neighbors house.
Bro, I gotta rag you. I'm just watching your 2014 mule deer hunt on Sportsmans Ch today, you remember, where you said you wanted to kill a really big buck you could hang on the wall for people to say, "Man, what a buck". Well, I do seem to remember you killing a real trophy Idaho muley once that any muley hunter would put on the wall, and you just kept the rack and sold the cape. I've killed some big muleys, 3 over 30 inches and one state record non typical with 24 points not counting 4 broken off. Well, dummy, I would have put that buck you sold the cape of on the wall. Love your show. God bless.
Frontal on deer sized game isn’t a chip shot. It’s way easier to miss than hit. The target is about a baseball size or you’ll probably not hit vitals. And they generally move no matter what arrow you shoot
It would be nice to see you do this on public land in Wisconsin, I’m more into learning about hunting and how deer bed instead of just watching someone climb a tree and shoot one over a mock scrape on leased land or private land
“ Gonna celebrate by having an apple.” 😂😂🤣🤣
Love your profile pic. STEELERS💪💪
@@spooncer8481 Yes sir. Thank you.
@@TheStrategos392 hopefully they choke this year. Big Ben went out pretty bad.
@@spooncer8481 😂 I guess we”ll just have to wait and see.
@@TheStrategos392 facts.
Always a good day when we get an adventure with the Latvian Eagle!
Is it possible to watch this and not have an ear to ear smile? Janis has always seemed like such a genuine salt of the earth guy. Awesome video
I think it is possible, yes.
Avoid those people

"i'm gonna celebrate... by having an apple". Hell yeah Janis, you earned that, nice shot!
So glad this is being uploaded. This shows ethical, respectful and professional attitude got me into hunting.
I usually dont watch archery hunts, but when I do, its Janis Putelis. Nice project.

Janis remains the best part of meateater.
I'm partial to Clay, but Janis is a very close second for me!
Great buck! Loved this self-filmed episode.
I personally love Janis' "mreh" to shot combo

Janis is a national treasure
Probably top 3 best episodes from meateater content!
Hell yeah, Janis. Had a blast watching this. Excellent work.
You both are great to watch. Can’t wait for more meat eater. Amazing work
Nice buck! I especially appreciate the hot tip on the Sweet Tangos.
Beautiful buck brother.
I am here for all of the On the Hunt With Janis videos. Great job Janis, looking forward to the next episode already!!!
Best, purest content. Janis is the best. Kindred spirit to all hunters.
You are bad ass.pulling a buck around that size in your forties is no easy task. 😢 I'm 49 this year. Wish me luck.got about 4 more weeks to wait.good luck everyone.
Really great to see some more archery 🏹 content !! Great episode.
This is by far Janis' best video. Thanks for the great story telling!

Thanks for the 3 hour drag. Nice buck congratulations.
One of my favorite meateater videos this is what it's all about ......
Great camera work through the shot. It's crazy that all came together so well, doing it by yourself. Nice buck too.
Brilliant, love this style of video. Conveys your passion and motivations perfectly. Congrats on a great hunt!
Congrats Janis,he is a great buck brother
He is a beauty, Janis! Love to see whitetail hunts on the channel. Your reaction after laying eyes on him is just awesome.
First buck was a monster! Great job Jani crack shot with the bow! 💪🏼
I love it when a plan comes together.
Awesome buck. Wi in November is the best!
I would gladly give up most the fingers on my left hand to have one more hunt with my Dad. Enjoy it, Janis!
Thanks Janis, so nice to see you self shoot and capture the hunt so well, It's not easy for us plebians that don't have camera crews to follow us around. I bet you felt way more deadly with less people in the bush
You got that right.
@@janisputelis440just watched this for the first time and this video was awesome! What all did you use to self film yourself for this hunt?
I’ve seen Janis shoot a lot of animals on Meateater. This was the most excited I think I’ve ever seen him! Congrats! And great content as always
Beautiful buck Janis! Well executed hunt. To me that is the best feeling. Knowing you are in the right spot and just waiting for 'the moment'.
You can't beat a good rut hunt in Wisconsin, greatest place to be in November.
Truly an incredible video. Nice Buck!
😂😂😂 the sweet tango call out killed me, great hunt!
This is an excellent video! Thanks, Jani! Makes me pumped for the upcoming deer season. Four months to go! Woot woot!
One of my all time fav bits of meateater content. Nice work to Janis and the team. Thanks for sharing
Great job, Janis!!
I love this episode so much! Happy for you Janis, can't wait to see this year's whitetail chapter!
Loved every second of it. Thank you Jani for the awesome content!!!

Love to see the meateater guys hunting whitetails.

This feels like a real TH-cam video, great job Yanis.....
Awesome shot and great hunt. this harvest definitely showed off what a well built arrow and proper shot placement will do for you!

i cant agree more with your closing statement. Great content!
Great video and a great buck. Don't want to rush summer but can't wait to be sitting in the woods come November.
I enjoy seeing you guys in Wisconsin
Atta boy Yani!!! Beautiful deer and very well filmed my man!!
I am so happy for you. It is exciting. Good job. Keep up the good work.
Spending more time in the woods ... that's the priority!
Beauty! Great production value too! Well done.
Beauty job Janis!
Damn you guys just keep killing it. I can’t even keep up with all the content!!
Nice work, Janis! Loved this.
Always a joy watching you and especially you and Steve..real deal
That’s a great first bow buck! Congrats
That's a great buck. Nice job with the filming.
Love the meateater whitetail content! Janis is the man!
Awesome hunt! I love watching the western hunts and other crazy things I can only dream of doing, but there is something really special about seeing a hunt that looks like mine in a tree in Minnesota.
Enjoyed how you put the arrow flight path thru the deer into the video.
Janis is the best I will say it again
The music during the shot is on point
I agree. The editor made a good call.
My dad's first buck back in Minnesota after 12 years of living in Tulsa was right underneath him and he wouldn't of seen it if he didn't try to light his smoke
Congrats on that beautiful buck. Heehaw. Meat in the freezer.
I haven't hunted in WI in 25-30 years.
I got my first deer last year out my back
Door behind my neighbors house.
Really enjoyed this, thanks 🙏
Awesome episode Janis!!! Great self filming!!!
Absolutely awesome episode.
Bro, I gotta rag you. I'm just watching your 2014 mule deer hunt on Sportsmans Ch today, you remember, where you said you wanted to kill a really big buck you could hang on the wall for people to say, "Man, what a buck". Well, I do seem to remember you killing a real trophy Idaho muley once that any muley hunter would put on the wall, and you just kept the rack and sold the cape.
I've killed some big muleys, 3 over 30 inches and one state record non typical with 24 points not counting 4 broken off.
Well, dummy, I would have put that buck you sold the cape of on the wall.
Love your show. God bless.
Great closing clip… 😁😉👍🏼
Finally Jannis gets a kill! Steve would be proud
Good video. Makes you wish fall was here
Nice job. Great hunt
Awesome video, very surprised you didn’t go ahead and mount him, as he’s your first buck with a bow. Nice deer man
very well self filmed
Good hunt brother!
On sconnie! From California. Hunting & fishing is not like home 🦡🔴⚪️
Frontal on deer sized game isn’t a chip shot. It’s way easier to miss than hit. The target is about a baseball size or you’ll probably not hit vitals. And they generally move no matter what arrow you shoot

Vital V!

Bad ass alright Janis, congrats
awesome stuff!
Great episode!
Janis is so good
Congratulations
Great job man
I have yet to hunt Wisconsin, but that sounds awesome!
every time i am eating or messing with my gear is when the deer come by.
Steven! You better have some awesome stuff coming. We are all waiting
Go watch Steve's series. This one is Jani's. Steve isn't necessary in this series.
If whitetail bucks ever got the word out about what happens next when you hear a "Meh" in the woods, the hunting would get a lot tougher!
It would be nice to see you do this on public land in Wisconsin, I’m more into learning about hunting and how deer bed instead of just watching someone climb a tree and shoot one over a mock scrape on leased land or private land
What’s wrong with private land?
@@edwardsabo8368 nothing. You just have to have access to it.
Congrats man. Nice buck. Thanks for the dragging out shots. 😏
