Andy obviously you have watched zero bow hunting videos. With an accurate shot like he had, the thing just felt a pinch and bled it very fast from the accurate shot, sure someone with more experience could comment on weather it was a heart or lung shot, or both. But yeah bow hunting can kill animals fast with very little pain.
One of the saddest yet satisfying clips I've ever seen. You could almost feel the pain those bucks were in, and I'm glad there are hunters such as yourself. Definitely have my respect and I'm sure everyone else's that watched your video. Those bucks deserved better and you were their saving grace!!
You know man this video got to me. We as hunters and conservationists might love to go after and hunt these magnificent animals, but we love these great beasts that our father put on this Earth. I'm not sure where you were hunting, but many acres from my Hunting area was burnt. It was a bad deal. So seeing this, brought me back to seeing and feeling what I felt when my area went up. I want to thank you myself for doing an amazing job, and the definition of what conservation is. You guys, are what everyone should set out to be in this passion many of us have.
You and your dad are the type of hunter that as a fellow hunter I can look up to. Thank you for this video and thank you for doing your part and please continue putting out great content
Can't believe this is my first time watching this video. I teared up watching this and felt for those two bucks. You both are such amazing hunters/conservationists, taking these two bucks allowing them to go peacefully and not suffer any longer. Thank you for sharing this!
Good decision to help put those bucks down. Great decision. Amazing footage. Wonderful act of compassion. Well done representing the hunting community. Very good video.
Man this was a great film..definently got to me. You sir and your dad did the right thing. Very inspirational. Even if the meat was bad, a shoulder mount of these bucks is a true trophy and conservation icons.
Saw this for the first time at the full draw film tour and would vote for this film 100 times over any of the other films. Such an inspirational story to hunters alike. Kudos to you both for doing the right thing.
I just saw this on the FDFT7 dvd. I’ve never shed a tear during a hunting film but this was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you! I think as hunters we’d all do the same.
This means a lot, as a fellow hunter, 13 years old who just killed his first bull elk. I know how much a tag can mean, and that u put your tags on those bucks it truly makes me proud to be a hunter
Thank you. These poor fellows would not have have made it, and by using your tags for them it spared those still healthy to rebuild the population. You were kinder than most, and certainly more than nature had been.
Hey you may have not wanted to use your tags on those deer but you really helped them out from suffering and they aren’t bad deer. Thank you! My dad and I did the same on an axis deer that got hit in front of us we put it oit
Amazing video. Wanted to say thanks for telling that story. Not the usual content seen in hunting videos. Hope this continues to get shared and the word gets out
Very sad, but your and your Dad are what it means to be a great hunter and conservationists. You did the most humane thing possible and put both those deer out of there pain and suffering, thank you for caring....
Life.... I have been busy just trying to get ahead a little in life... but thanks for checking out my stuff. I really appreciate it! I have MANY hunts on hard drives... I just haven’t found time to edit them... I’m hoping to get to putting out more stuff this year!( but I also said that last year 😂) . Stick with me... there will be more content in the future!
Wow...thank you for being such a good example of what hunting is! You are a good hunter and an even better man. Thanks for sharing your story and doing the right thing! I’m sure that was a pretty special hunt with all things considered but also because you were able to share it with your father. Good stuff 👍🏼
Wow, just wow; true conservation right there! Congratulations on the harvest but more importantly, Thank You for ending the suffering of these two stoic and incredibly tough animals. Nice work...
Its nice to see, all the awsome comments as hunters we , all share the same thoughts. Sad we all hated, watching those deer suffer. Are hearts sank as you told the story and we watched as we knew, you and your pops where going to end their suffering. Thank you for sharing your stories and videos, and being a true ambassador for our beloved sport. We all want trophys we would be lying if we said we didn't. I always hunt for big bucks, but am always happy with whatever I get. Those deer lived , and died warriors. As it should be , and not by fire. You did a good thing!
This one was hard to watch, knowing you would find what you found. But it’s also encouraging to see through, again, knowing that you stopped their suffering. I believe most of us would have done the same.
Thank you....just thank you. Also, thank you for not whooping and carrying on like we do when we finally harvest a trophy. I think we can all agree that these animals deserved better and you and your father gave them a very fitting send off.
People think as hunters we don’t care about animals but this clearly shows how we do. Had a tear in my eye watching that poor old buck wince with every step. Thank you for putting them out of their misery 🙏🏼
Pretty sad deal. I would do the same thing. So much better to go a fighter than to face a slow painful death. True fighters these two bucks, true fighters.
every "hunter" needs to watch this. Hunters as a community need to truly take pride, time, education and willingness to help wildlife. To many hunters only care about their freezer or tagging that one buck. It's much more then that. you are an example to us all on what it means to be hunters/outdoorsman.
Very good video best i think i've ever seen. Hunters and conservation is so important it's so sad to see any animal suffer good job on helping them out I know they will thank you in some way some how
Way to go and conservation is the way of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike !!! Way to go I guys are truly conservationists I am very happy you guys did this way to go
Good clip.. I see this more than I want to .. I am a wild land fire fighter.., and though people dislike fire it is one of the best things that can happen to deer habitats You have your government to thank for there’s mega fires .. if they had not started in the 60’ to suppress all wild fire and wild land was grazed like it should mega fires would not be the problem they are today ! There is to much fuel out there from miss management of our public lands and when they do catch fire it is almost impossible to put them out .. thank you for putting these animals out of there misery. Support conservation and support ranching and god bless America
Definitely the right decision to rescue these great animals from their pains. Also good to see that there is not only the trophy thinking...really great job.
Sad situation, great response... As hunters we truly dream all year about the opportunity to hunt and dream of what that opportunity looks like. I know you guys never dreamed about that situation. An amazingly selfless act to lay those two mountain monarchs to rest and "burn" your tags in the process. (Pardon the pun). Great job and way to show the true conservationalist nature of real hunters!
Wow I don't even know what to say! Great video, I love these animal some people think we as conservationists/hunters we don't care but that brought tears to my eyes seeing an animal in so much pain. It's a shame that people are gonna twist this into a bad thing that it was an easy kill and that's all you cared about! Thank you for sharing this story!
As a fellow hunter I’m only 16 and live these great animals our father put on this earth and it is a great thing you did yeah they aren’t the biggest bucks out there but I am glad you did this that Tim buck what have been great but at least these one will a better story and good thing you did that
As a fellow hunter, I commend you for putting them out of their misery.
mervjb he was concerned about suffering but kills it with bow like that reallly put it out fast
Andy obviously you have watched zero bow hunting videos. With an accurate shot like he had, the thing just felt a pinch and bled it very fast from the accurate shot, sure someone with more experience could comment on weather it was a heart or lung shot, or both. But yeah bow hunting can kill animals fast with very little pain.
I'm literally blown away by this video! Great job men! I pray that this video goes viral! "God speed"
thank you!!
Dude what a beautiful message of love and conservation ...!!!

I'm a hunter and seeing those animals suffering made me tear up. They would have had a slow horrible death it was the right thing to do.
i tear up watching the video still to this day. thanks for watching

Such an amazing video. It got to me on how bad the two bucks were in. I’m glad you both decided to put your tags on them and end their pain.
Very sad, but your and your Dad are what it means to be a great hunter and conservationists. You did the most humane thing possible and put both those deer out of there pain and suffering, thank you for caring....

Nice job and definitely that right choice to make. You show the world the true feelings of hunters in the video, if only the world could see it.
So sad, it hurts to see any animal suffer. Hats off to you and your dad and great video.
You to MEN HAVE a GOOD HEART!! My hats off to you two MEN. GOOD JOB

Great display of conservation! Well put together.
Amazing... one of my all time favorite hunting videos.
that you!!!!
One of the best videos I have ever seen
kind words. thank you.
Just watched your video awesome job!!! You guys are a class act!! Keep up the great work!!
Great video. Hard to see them suffer like that.. thank you for sharing your story
What did you do with them? U guys harvest them?
yes we did. the second buck had some swelling and puss in his hind quarters. we trimmed that away and still made burger out of it. It was ok to eat.
I'm not a hunter. But that moment where that first buck looked right at your Dad, imploring him to remove him from suffering was sacred.
People think as hunters we don’t care about animals but this clearly shows how we do. Had a tear in my eye watching that poor old buck wince with every step. Thank you for putting them out of their misery 🙏🏼
I hate seeing that. Thank you for handling it. Wish more people would see the good in hunters.
Saddest hunt I’ve ever watched. Hats off to you for doing the right thing .
thanks
Life isn't fair. This had me crying. Thanks for doing the right thing.
still makes me tear up as well... i love wildlife.. hate to see fires destroy it all
It’s crazy what these animals can go through. This has to be one of my favorite hunting videos. Good job guys!
thanks man!
Kirk 100% agree every anti hunter needs to watch this video.
thank you
Pretty sad deal. I would do the same thing. So much better to go a fighter than to face a slow painful death. True fighters these two bucks, true fighters.
every "hunter" needs to watch this. Hunters as a community need to truly take pride, time, education and willingness to help wildlife. To many hunters only care about their freezer or tagging that one buck. It's much more then that. you are an example to us all on what it means to be hunters/outdoorsman.
appreciate it man. it was something i was proud of. i would do it again if i had to..
Thank you! I hunt as well and I’ve never been more proud of a video!

Great to see you doing this... I feel the same about suffering animals and truly commend you for doing this.

Great video! True hunters all would have done the same! Thank you for this video hopefully millions can see and learn something wonder from this.

Amazing video!

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE MUSIC . NICE
Sad situation, great response... As hunters we truly dream all year about the opportunity to hunt and dream of what that opportunity looks like. I know you guys never dreamed about that situation. An amazingly selfless act to lay those two mountain monarchs to rest and "burn" your tags in the process. (Pardon the pun). Great job and way to show the true conservationalist nature of real hunters!
the look on you’re face while you hold the bucks head reminds me of natzi Germany.
gotta tip my cap to you guys for ending their suffering :/
thank you
I tip my hat to you both! True Hunters.

Nicely done
