I'm willing to bet the First Buck seen your shadow move. It's not on cam but he looked straight ahead and then turned and locked on you. Shadows bust more hunts then people realize. Great content as usual. 😎
Very possible. I have had that happen before on another hunt. Thats one side effect to haveing the sun at your back, a trade off to staring at the sun I guess.
You may be right that’s the thing about hunting bucks. The slightest move can get you busted. He may have winded me also it’s hard to say but it’s hunting and let’s face it them deer are a lot more smarter than we are. Thanks for watching.
Man that's tough, I think many of us can all relate to this happening. I know we can. Thanks for the realism of the channel, love the footage. Gets me fired up for the 2024 season since our 2023 season was pretty tough. We found a spot to hunt next year in Ohio, so looking forward to our first ever Ohio hunt! I will be sure to subscribe to keep up on your content! Good luck the rest of the way.
I got my biggest to date, a 11 point on conservation land in Missouri on Nov 1st a really good cold morning. You did the right thing waiting, just sucks these things happen. Great video!
@ghghamrick It just depends where a person hunts at, I have hunted some spots for 20 years that I never run across another hunter and some spots I quit hunting because of the hunting pressure. Hunters just have to spend time figuring it out. I have bowhunted, gun hunted, and turkey hunted the same area on Wayne National for many years to somewhat have a grasp on what most guys are looking for. I hunt where they won't or off the beaten path type places. Now gun week.....the first 2 days are crazy, after Tuesday, I dont see many people other than the guys in my camp.
Ben there done that It happens you cant always see those tiny twigs that deflect your shot Looking forward to the next videos And wishing you better luck
Great video and ,thanks for for show's the actual shot ,I tought it was a good hit ,but it happen's to the Best ,one thing is for shure you definetly pick the right spot to hunt, Good luck ,I bowhunted for year's and hunting and filming at the same time ,is very challenging .👍
Thank you. It's definitely a challenge. We watched the film over and over while zoomed in as best we could, and slowed it down to a snails pace. The shot deflected off the branch and just grazed off the front of the front shoulder. Tracking it the next day confirmed our opinion of the shot.
Hope you’re in a section ATV’s are legal. Seems they’re everywhere, even in areas they’re not supposed to be on the national forest. More so from neighboring private land owners it seems in my experience. Definitely seems to be a good area that you’re in.
I am definitely in an atv legal area. And you are correct about the illegal atv riding. We've quit hunting some areas because you can walk back a mile and run across guys riding atvs and trucks even though they are not supposed to. Kinda sucks to walk that far and set up only to have it ruined. Also, its absolutely unbelievable how many comments we've gotten saying we are breaking the law in this video by having an atv. I guess a lot of people have no clue. I started to reply with a link to WNF web page, but since have been deleted. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a great deer season!!
@@buckeyeoutdoorstv-shane3504 glad to hear it. They don’t bother me in legal areas, but definitely ruins a day to hear one in areas they’re not. Hope it keeps working out for you!
@@ghghamrick Not to leave out some of the dirt bikers, in the area im in, they ride EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE the want to. Some of the places they ride is crazy as hell. I quit hunting some spots in the legal areas for that reason. I ride the trails, they make their own.
Yeah, and it’s sadly gotten way out of hand imho. All I hunt is public and mostly Wayne, and there’s a lot of people who are breaking the law and ruining a lot of hunts with the ATV’s, it’s going on everywhere pretty much. Got a good collection of public hunters though and we’re all starting to film. Got a lot of footage so far just in a couple weeks of people who just don’t care about the law. Seems the ODNR is really slacking in many areas. They’re gonna have no choice but to act now because folks are fed up with it and there’s much that’s going to be placed dead on their laps here in another week or so.
@@robertwhite3752 glad to hear it. The ATV’s and baiting is pretty ridiculous. Almost every chunk I went into this year had ATV paths where they should be or bait piles. Reported one bait pile and even gave a picture of the guy to the federal agent of the area. Said there wasn’t much they could do without a name or a license plate.
Thanks brother. I appreciate you for watching and enjoying this. We have another video coming very soon, in the ending of that video, Mark talks for a few moments about who we are, our mission and what we are all about. Thanks again!!!
Great video. It is the reality of hunting and we all have been there before. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely beautiful country down there. Curt WhiteTALES Deer Hunting
Great content. But social media will turn “great hunting” into highly pressured very quick. Being from south Ms and hunting the Ms delta I’ve seen it over and over again.
I have a beard for one, and little camera buttons and gloves do not work well together. I'm just curious....thats what you took from watching the entire video???
The buck looks like yet another 3yr old, better that you missed anyway and give him a chance to grow a few more years ( but i doubt it, not on public land in Ohio)
Looking back.....yep, I probably should've shot that first Buck. We've all looked back on our lifes experiences and wished we could go back. Not how it works though. Thanks for watching!!!!
@keithking9388 18ft but it doesn't look high because of the ridge behind me. That's the thing with hunting in the hills of SE Ohio, you can be 20 ft up and eye level with deer 30 yds behind you.
@keithking9388 15ft off the ground, when hunting the hills of SE Ohio, going high only puts you eye level within 40yds when hunting benches, like in this hunt. The ridge behind me makes it look like I'm not very high up in the tree.

Thanks for the generous comment and thanks for watching .
I’ve been there myself is gut wrenching
I got my biggest to date, a 11 point on conservation land in Missouri on Nov 1st a really good cold morning. You did the right thing waiting, just sucks these things happen. Great video!
ty Herb always good chatting you
Thats tough brother. Ive spent many years hunting Wayne national forest. Its a hidden gem.
Thanks. It can get over whelming at times, but you are correct. 20 plus years of hunting it, I have located some dynamite spots to hunt.
Hidden? Maybe 20 years ago, but far from it at this point. First week of November everyone and their brother comes from out of state to hunt it haha

@@ghghamrickI agree with you, southern Wayne NF is not what it use to be for various reasons.
Like you said, happens to all of us Just very unfortunate for you, but looks like you got a great spot there. Good luck.
Thanks 👍

It definitely stings a little when that happens. Thanks for watching and....Go Bucks!!!
It’s the truth about Hunting. Thanks for watching. We really appreciate the support. We’re just average guys sharing our hunts.

Great video get him next time 👍🦌
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Thanks buddy appreciate you watching. We’re just trying to keep it real.
This is real hunting. It happens to 100 percent of us
We really appreciate you watching this and commenting. This is why we’re doing it for people like you.

Hey, thanks for the support and for watching. We really appreciate it.
Where can you ride a 4 wheeler on Wayne?
Atv on national Forrest?
Great content. But social media will turn “great hunting” into highly pressured very quick. Being from south Ms and hunting the Ms delta I’ve seen it over and over again.
Hey, thanks for the support. We really appreciate it.
I had the same thing happen to me , hit low in brisket behind the shoulder
That sucks. I know the feeling, it happens but I hate having an encounter end like that. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a good season.
That’s the truth about Hunting it happens just give it your best shot to do the recovery. Thanks for watching. We really appreciate the support.
That stand has a serious shooting rail. What make is it?
The stand is an Old Man climbing stand very comfortable. Thanks for watching
Its gonna happen man! It does suck but it happens to all of us like you said! So there are places in wayne national quads are legal?
Thanks for watching. And, yes, there are parts of WNF that have atv trails.
It’s the truth about hunting it happens to a lot of people out there. Thanks for the support and we appreciate you watching.
Where is your face mask? Gloves?
I have a beard for one, and little camera buttons and gloves do not work well together. I'm just curious....thats what you took from watching the entire video???
The buck looks like yet another 3yr old, better that you missed anyway and give him a chance to grow a few more years ( but i doubt it, not on public land in Ohio)
Yeah, public land is definitely not the place to "give him another year" It gets hit hard during the gun seasons.
Music ruins it all....
Thanks for your input.
Looking back.....yep, I probably should've shot that first Buck. We've all looked back on our lifes experiences and wished we could go back. Not how it works though. Thanks for watching!!!!
How high do you hunt? It didn't look too high and I hunt low to the ground in Ohio as well and have good success.
@keithking9388 18ft but it doesn't look high because of the ridge behind me. That's the thing with hunting in the hills of SE Ohio, you can be 20 ft up and eye level with deer 30 yds behind you.
@keithking9388 15ft off the ground, when hunting the hills of SE Ohio, going high only puts you eye level within 40yds when hunting benches, like in this hunt. The ridge behind me makes it look like I'm not very high up in the tree.
