You guys were struggling with some bad luck for sure. I hope things turned around. At least you knew there were a couple of bucks in the area. I always take a backup rifle to camp. One year my uncles scope messed up. He used my backup and killed an 8 point. Thanks for taking us on your true outdoor adventures. Looking forward to the next day!
Tough break for Jerod, but it's still an exciting hunt. This is real world hunting not the outdoor channel. I could write a book about all my blunders in the woods. Great video Juddie!
Man..I am kind of in shock! Misses happen to us all..deducing why the miss is the hard part and honesty with it hurts..BUT it drives home the lesson/bad memory of never doing it again. Hope things turn around for you guys as i am aggravated but still cheering!
Watched 2 bucks chase does all around the field ,out my dining room window, while having Thanksgiving dinner. Even with Thanksgiving being late. Bucks were still in the mood, even though none of the does seemed to be.
Jared I feel for ya buddy, but as bad as it’s been it can get a lot worse. At least neither one of you is injured. Keep on trying. I hope the lord sends a blessing for both of you.
Great video I feel for Jerrod keep your head up I've bn there brother it's sucks but it happens to us all keep on grinding fellas and keep the videos coming
If you find you need to replace the scope, make sure you get Lockable, or Resetable turrets.. Also, if you have a place to check your zero, don’t hesitate to check your zero before every hunt.. Lord knows that is the one most important factor when you are hunting big game.. I’m sure you will take all of this into consideration when you replace the scope. It happens to the best of them, but now you know how to never let it happen again!!!! Be Safe, and God Bless! Good luck on your hunt!!!
Tough one to swallow for sure. Misses are part of what we do and definitely not what we want!!! That’s definitely a target style turret, sucks to find out that way after taking deer with it already. Man I feel naked if I go on overnight trips without backup guns and it might be a good thing to shoot as soon as camp is setup, not telling ya what to do but it’s burned a lot of us….me included. Most new scopes have a zero indicator now, a lower numbered ring that you zero once sighted and it’s an awesome indicator when you’re wondering if stuff moved around. True outdoor adventures in the title is earning its money on this trip!!!!
Vortex Razor is where it’s at. They give you free turret set to your caliber and bullet. Everything we do during deer season and prep boils down to that shot. Fork out the 2k and live knowing your good to go 😅
I have the same scope on a weatherby 30-06 did it to me once I now put a piece of electrical tape around it to keep it in place it has been working fine so far
Hey great hunt and exciting time on the mountain!! Jerod so sorry I’m sure that made for tough day!! It happens to the best of us!! I agree on getting rid of that scope! That scope great for target shooting but for hunting up on the mountain and in the woods just to many ways you could bump or move it without even knowing!! Now just to pick on Jerod did your dad cut your shirt tail! That’s what all the old timers would tell me when I missed a deer haha so it happens and boy you don’t ever forget that day it happens I’ve been there with you and man you get that sick feeling in your stomach! Pick your head up check that the gun is back on zero and go back after them!! I truly enjoy these videos!! Jerod and Juddie this is real hunting not scripted and this is what it’s about that’s what makes this channel special and entertaining!! Looking forward to the next video!! Sorry guys for long comment!!!!
Lesson learned....I would have never left a crap scope like that on my rifle...the time to have fixed that was long before you hit the woods...I'm really sorry that happened...yall don't get many chances like that.
@@kevinlangford3275 last year we both got bucks with that rifle and scope combo. We discovered that issue with the turret last year and took pictures of the settings so if they moved we knew where to put them back too. Apparently, this year his turret turn more than what we thought they would turn and when he set it back, it was still off. If the Nikko Sterling company would have designed it to have a cap, like the windage turret, or put a locking ring on the turret these would be awesome scopes. These scopes think were made for target range shooting, not hunting. Thanks for watching and commenting, Kevin. Juddie
@@kevinlangford3275 nope, those Allen screws are for removing the turret once zero’d and setting the numerical value on the”0”. So if you zero at 100 yards, and the turret has Ben set to “0”, if you need to shoot further distance you can adjust, and then put it back to “0” and be back at 100 yard zero. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie
That’s the dumbest scope design I’ve ever heard of. Must’ve been designed by PETA to make sure a hunter misses. What a horrible feeling. But thanks for sharing your hunt and hang in there. I know what Santa is going to put in your stockings!😜
Gotta disagree about the see thru sites. If you buy low power, high shelf scopes. Steel rings, not aluminum. Your scope shouldn’t move. I never ever had problems with any of our scopes. You said it’s hard to get back on game if you miss with a scope. There again you should not have any trouble if your scope, if it’s on a low sitting. On my granddaughters rifle I mounted a 1x5. She hasn’t missed yet. She generally has her scope on 2.5. She hasn’t had to shoot very far, but most shots in the woods are 50yds and under.
We have checked, even last year when we discovered the issue and knew we had to be careful how we carried the rifle so the scope turret wasn't turned. I honestly believe this is a target shooting scope more than a hunting scope. It is a nice scope except for that issue. Thanks for watching and commenting, and your suggestion. Juddie
God bless ya'll 🙏 man I'm telling ya'll ya need any ozonics it will change every thing i won't go in the woods with out it 💯 or with out my hecs suit . They both combined together is so deadly with my sent lok suit no more tag soup .😊 Brother don't feel bad we all have stuff like that happen i had it happen to me in ohio this year made me sick but I put the time in and downed a big bucks the 4th day brother keep on keeping on 😊
So how many rotations did the scope turn on you,for it to shoot that high it would have to have turned a several times One click is only a 1/4 inch at a hundred yards, for it to shoot that high it must have had to really been turned to be that off. Definitely need to replace those scopes. Not to mention, the scopes that come on the vast majority of package guns are trash to begin with. Everyone can’t afford a Leupold or Nightforce , but they make very good affordable scopes. You definitely get what you pay for. That cheap scope just cost him the biggest deer in his life.
Sorry you missed, but if your hunting with a scope like that, I can't believe you would step foot into the woods hunting without taking a shot to make sure you're zeroed in. In my eyes, that's more of a priority than your camper
Kevin, I am 64 years old, and if I shoot a buck and get it, I am like it was my very first deer excited. Also, if I were to shoot and miss, I am like that kid on his first deer hunt that misses a deer, I am all tore up inside. To me that is what makes deer hunting so exciting, the highs and the lows, it all part of the hunt. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie
I love your videos but as a hunter, never shoot at a second deer when you are tracking to see if you have wounded or killed a deer. You had buck fever and it will get the best of you.
Brandon, he had been checking to see if he had made contact. After searching and not finding any evidence is when he shot at the other buck. What seems like minutes on a TH-cam video could be an hour or hours. We know the ethics of hunting, that you search for any sign, hair, small droplets of blood on the ground or along bushes or trees. We aren't first time hunters, I have been hunting for 40+ years and Jerod for at least 26+ years. We bow hunt, rifle hunt, muzzleloader hunt, and we know about checking evidence of a hit and tracking deer. Heck my one brother-in-law shot a deer with a bow and had given up tracking, I went to help, and he started calling me bloodhound. We found the deer even though he was ready to give up. Now, of course, he may have had buck fever, we all get that, especially when you see a real nice rack. The blood starts pumping, the breathing starts picking up due to the excitement, you have to learn to control it before making that shot. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie
Gus, we learned how to use them. We actually was able to both take bucks with them last year. The issue is a scope with that type of turret that doesn’t have a cover to go over it or a locking ring to lock the turret in place when set. It doesn’t take much to turn the turret. Taking it in and out of a padded case, shouldering it and it rubs against your back or backpack if you are carrying one, not to mention twigs, laurel bushes, etc rubbing against it. Yes, the scope came with the rifle when purchased, it was a package deal from the company. To me this scope is okay if you’re just a target shooter, but for hunting I do believe it is a bad scope to use. We do appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie
You can’t do that, if you do that the turret is still there just the numbered knob has been removed. If the company would have made a cap that screwed on, just like any other scope has, then that would been fine. Or if they had a locking ring to where once set you could lock it down. The windage turret has a cap that covers it, the elevation turret doesn’t. The scope I think is made for target shooting, not hunting. I do like it because once zero’d you could loosen 3 Allen head screws, lift up the numerical cap, turn it to “0” put it back down and adjust your elevation on the fly. Then you could turn it back to “0” and be zero’s again to the original zero. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie
I know the feeling, clean miss no wounded deer
You guys were struggling with some bad luck for sure. I hope things turned around. At least you knew there were a couple of bucks in the area. I always take a backup rifle to camp.

Let it roll off Jerod. You’ll get em next time! Good luck guys!
Man..I am kind of in shock! Misses happen to us all..deducing why the miss is the hard part and honesty with it hurts..BUT it drives home the lesson/bad memory of never doing it again. Hope things turn around for you guys as i am aggravated but still cheering!
Great video!! I do agree with your attitude on just enjoy being out! Right On!!
Great video I always enjoy watching. My heart broke for jerod I could hear the disappointment in his voice. We've all been there . Thanks for sharing
I don’t know if that scope would have made it off the mountain 😂. That definitely sucks
What a shame. At least the bucks weren’t wounded. But that’s a bummer for sure. Keep you head up Jerod.
Watched 2 bucks chase does all around the field ,out my dining room window, while having Thanksgiving dinner. Even with Thanksgiving being late. Bucks were still in the mood, even though none of the does seemed to be.
Tough break Jerrod, it sucks. At least it was a clean miss and no wounded deer running around. Thanks for the videos guys.
Thats tough Jerod ive been there all of us has hopefully you got it resighted and hopefully you get another shot at a buck.
No matter what, it was still a great hunt. The misses do get to you but that will pass. Tomorrow is another day. Keep at it.
I feel for ya pal, I've been there. That's what I love about you guys. It's real hunting. Not canned kill shots over high fence deer.
Enjoyed the video. That was some tough luck. Although disappointing at the time it was still a beautiful day in the woods to enjoy creation.
Yeah I've been there but the only scope I use is a loophole best scope ever made
Great video buddy I enjoyed every second of it. Felt bad that Jarod missed the bucks. I know I have missed my share of them in my years of hunting.
Jared I feel for ya buddy, but as bad as it’s been it can get a lot worse. At least neither one of you is injured. Keep on trying. I hope the lord sends a blessing for both of you.

Looks like those scops have Allen wrench lock downs

Stay strong Jerod! Juddie try a hot hands on the back of your neck.
I have that same rifle in 270 and that turret moved on me once and I took it off and put a regular cap back on and never had a problem again.
Just a thought men but check to see if your turrets have a zero stop. It’s almost a necessity with cap less turrets.
We have checked, even last year when we discovered the issue and knew we had to be careful how we carried the rifle so the scope turret wasn't turned.

Jerod needs to work on calming down...he gets more shook up than my 11 year old neice.
Kevin, I am 64 years old, and if I shoot a buck and get it, I am like it was my very first deer excited.

The day I don't get excited, I wont hunt anymore.

I had already determined that the first buck was a miss when I shot at the second one.
u didn't learn how 2 use it or bother 2 chek....but bash 'em publicly... 4 sumthin they probably gave u?? Not sure how 2 feel bout this video....
Gus, we learned how to use them. We actually was able to both take bucks with them last year. The issue is a scope with that type of turret that doesn’t have a cover to go over it or a locking ring to lock the turret in place when set. It doesn’t take much to turn the turret.

Well thanks for the view.
Or if that's not it could be buck fever Jarod lol
It's not the scope just take the turret off
You can’t do that, if you do that the turret is still there just the numbered knob has been removed. If the company would have made a cap that screwed on, just like any other scope has, then that would been fine. Or if they had a locking ring to where once set you could lock it down. The windage turret has a cap that covers it, the elevation turret doesn’t. The scope I think is made for target shooting, not hunting. I do like it because once zero’d you could loosen 3 Allen head screws, lift up the numerical cap, turn it to “0” put it back down and adjust your elevation on the fly. Then you could turn it back to “0” and be zero’s again to the original zero. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie
