Congratulations to you and everybody who played a role!! Awesome deer!!! Those vocalizations were insane-never heard grunting that intense in the field personally...he was either extremely frustrated with her or the breeding was getting ready to happen RIGHT there...either way, awesome!!! God is so good!!
Was liking the video until the end, you mentioned the sovereignty of God, now I love it. Congrats on a nice public buck. Keep using your platform to glorify Him.
I'll have to say, I have spent many hours in the woods and have heard bucks grunting, this one however takes the cake!! The expression " grunting like a market hog" takes on a whole new meaning here!! Good job on the video! Excellent shot!! Thank you!!
This year I almost notched my tag on a pretty nice buck about 100 yards from the road. I saw a rub next to the road and followed the terrain around to where it was logical for the buck to bed. It was a point that dropped down from a road that connected to the road where I went in. I smelled him first and then he showed up, walked by me at 20 yards through thick cover, and needed to take one more step For me to get a shot. Instead he turned and looked right at me. The buck I did kill was about 250 yards off the road. Both of those spots had something in common. I never see anyone hunting there. In big continuous expanses of woods they have to cross those roads somewhere. And that would be anywhere the correct terrain meets an area where nobody hunts. Admittedly I enjoy hunting far off the road but if a little opportunity presents itself close to the road I'll take it. Great grunting from that buck and a real nice one. Great video!
First time to see one of your videos and it was as good as I have seen. That big boy put on a show glade you could make it happen congrats can’t wait to the next one be safe!!!
You bet brother I don’t get to hunt like I used to when I was younger because of work , so this helps me get my fix on. Bow hunting is all I do and lol the only thing I am addicted to be safe 👍
Man that was a awesome hunt. I really enjoyed that hunt. You held that draw for a while and.still made a awesome shot to put him down at 20 yards in plain view of your stand. What made the hunt so awesome is you gave God all the glory for the whole hunt. GOD IS AWESOME Brother.
congratulation on a nice buck.. I've switch trees before only to see deer walking in range of the first tree, but sometimes it does work, a true blessing for you and good decision making. thanks for sharing the awesome hunt. God bless,
Way to go Tyler!!! I knew that you were going to get a shot at a good buck. That was some fantastic footage! I heard the constant grunting before I ever saw the buck. Just couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Lol. That setup reminded me of a stand we had down in Menard that was about 40 yards off of a county road next to a deep creek. We killed deer out of it every year. Congratulations on getting it done on public land! And have a safe trip back home.
My brother in law sold that ranch a couple of years ago Tyler. It was a bow hunters dream. Free range axis was a bonus. We miss it. Now we hunt our places in the Glen Rose area. I really enjoy your videos. You’re doing a great job. Reminds me of Randy Newburg’s “On your on Adventures”. Keep it up
Thanks dude! It was definitely something that caught my eye on the map and held up once I got there. You hunt creek systems a lot? Or do you look for other features?
New subscriber... Great Hunt and video.I'm from Pennsylvania and we don't have a deer herd like Iowa but I still believe your correct of the age being 3.5.
Congrats man awesome hunt and a beautiful buck plus getting to hear the vocalization it doesn’t get any better. I am also digging the SKRE been on the fence about purchasing some myself
dbuckner902010 Thanks a bunch!! Dude that is a down jacket that weighs like 12 oz. and stuffs into my pack really small! It goes with me on pretty much all my public land hunts. Got it for Christmas from a friend.
The Element I need one of your friends how do you like the pattern ? It seemed to look great in the setting you was in I personally have never seen any gear they offer so I am torn on the 2 patterns they have available MTN stealth or summit
@@dbuckner902010 Yea. It can get a touch dark. Looked good in the oak trees of Iowa just like back home. Also, looks good in the deep woods of the south amongst green briar and swamp grass etc. It seems kinda dark for out west often times.
@@TheElementWild Iowa is a lot tougher for non residents. In your video, I don't think I have ever heard a buck grunt like that before. I would call that a tending grunt.
Sorry a little tardy to the party!! Just found your channel and subbed!!! Great video man!!! I’ve heard some pretty vocal bucks but yours takes the cake brother. That was awesome!! Good luck this season.... can’t come quick enough
The Element I lease almost 6,000 acres in butler county KS. No shortage of rut crazed action in early November but it’s norm a grunt every few seconds not constant like that one!!! That had to have been so cool to see let alone get on video. You seem to be doing just fine hunting the way you are but if you ever wanna give SE Kansas Private a try... it’d be cool to have you!! Plus there’s a huge WIHA literally across the road from my lodge and one of the 3 farms I lease if you’d prefer to do the public route . Plus atleast you’d have a place to sleep walking distance from your stand. No BS either man. I love what y’all are doing and there’s no doubt you’re in it for the right reasons. Lmk if you’re interested!!
TH-cam has a lot of very cool videos of people with insane encounters and memorable hunts. This is by far in the top 3 best videos, and in the top 3 of best hunts I’ve ever seen. Truly something you’ll never forget! Amazing footage brother.
Dude thanks!! That means a ton! Definitely blessed to have it happen like it did. I'm interested in the other two of the top 3... Drop a link to those vids if you've got em. I'd like to watch. Thanks for the kind words!
@@TheElementWild a little in PA but 90% in NY catskill mountains (state land). Deer out west from what I've seen are way more vocal in different ways. That's not to say our deer dont grunt but never heard anything like your buck.
Congrats man! Really well done video! I could literally Smell the buck when you got up close to it! Lol. Loved your patience, and thought process. You hunt like I used to hunt. (Cancer bout has me a little weak, but I'm in remission! Hopefully back out there one day!) You and your buddies are an inspiration! Keep on keeping on! And yes , God is sovereign, and good, all the time. Thanks for that! -Donnie ..cant wait for Kansas! That's where I live!
Coffee Hunter Thanks for the compliments Donnie! So glad you’re in remission and I hope it stays that way. Also hope you get to hunt hard in the future. Idk if I would be strong enough to maintain a great attitude like you have. God bless brother!
Awesome hunt , awesome buck ! And i'm SO glad that you that buck's vocalization on film . I got a few hunting buddies that are gonna be eating crow ! I've told them i've heard bucks make those long drawn out grunts . I was told i was full of it ? I was thinkin' 4 1/2 ? If he's only 3.5 ... think what he woulda looked like at 5.5 or 6.5 . (I'm guessing dear don't live that long though , if they run public land ?)
Never heard one grunt for such an extended time. That was awesome. I'm so use to hearing folks do short grunts, but that will change now with this video. That's a great buck in anyone's woods.
Awesome audio of the grunting! Loved the video!! I’d agree that’s a 3.5 yo deer. I’d say he’d be more blown up than that if he was any older. Those Midwest white tails explode after 3yo.
Props man. You put together a hell of a plan and made it happen. Awesome shot too. Love to see a #bowhunter wait for the perfect shot and not just get the animal in bow range and let it fly. You were patient and captured so unreal footage! That buck grunting and bawling like that was intense. Awesome hunt
Outlaw Media Hey thanks man!! Refreshing to hear some of these compliments man! I had never heard that kind of vocalization! That’s a nice buck in you pic? Where’d you get that buck?
@@TheElementWild Absolutely man! The buck in my pic is buck we called The Gate buck". Big ol Illinois corn fed. lots of history with him and his un willingness to jump a fence and walk through an open cattle gate lead to him taking a rage at 15 yards in the heart. Working on the film now, dropping this summer!
Triax Williams Williams 5. Took me 5 years to draw. There’s more details about the hunt in the podcast ->>> podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/element-podcast-public-land-hunting-tactics-whitetail/id1192875599?i=1000458356038
Hey brother, I've just gotten into bow hunting and live in South Texas. What are some good public land spots statewide? I'm having a tough time finding places, and do not want to hunt a ranch.
T Willingham that’s awesome man! Public hunting gets a little tougher down south. Depends on where you are and how far you want to drive. There’s I good looking place near San Angelo, Aransas NWR has some hunts, and there’s National land around Del Rio. What area are you in?
@@TheElementWild Thanks for the reply! I live in Aransas Pass, right outside of Corpus Christi. I would definitely drive wherever I need to have a good hunt.
Dude those vocalizations are nuts! Kind of a revelation of what you can actually do on a grunt call. That deer looks and acts pretty dominate in the footage. I thought 3 originally, but there is definitely a chance he is older!
I’ve never heard in person a long drawn out grunt like that. I have heard grunt happy bucks that grunt every second or a big grunt but this is another level. Great job getting it all caught on video.
Great job man, great plan!! Way to gut it out when the going gets tough! If I had to guess on the deer’s age, I would say a good two year old for Iowa, but I would be curious to see what the test came back as well. Great deer and great experience/hunt either way!! Congratulations, and continued success to you. BTW, listen and love your podcast too 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼
@@TheElementWild hey great hunt! I've been getting my off-season sets ready and I'm really trying to decide what the best height is. I know many people who say "it doesn't matter. And have just as many friends who say "you need to be way up" I respect your game and was wondering if you had an opinion I hunt in NJ where there are a lot of deer and also, if you're in the wrong spot, they have A LOT of pressure. Lmk what you think.
@@johnnymillernow thanks Johnny! Man I have killed 9 bucks in 6 different states in the last two years and I bet my average height is 13 or 14’. Lots of variables to consider but I like cover and being still over height. Good luck dude!
@@TheElementWild ya, people I respect say cover is the most important. I'm not afraid to go high, but last year I did fall 20ft from my stand and had severa SERIOUS injuries. Shattered heal. Shattered ankle. Compressed and broken bones on the top of my foot. DISLOCATED FOOT WITH BO HEAL BONES LEFT TO SET IT IN. Two broken bones in my tibia and a broken patilla. I'm a commercial fishermen, it took me 7 months to get back out on the boat
I had a nice 8pt following an estrus doe come in grunting every bit as much as that. He sounded like a pig coming through the woods before I could lay eyes on either deer! That being said, in 35 years of deer hunting...it was only that one time. Really cool. OBTW, I was so worked up, I missed that 8....
The Element, yes! The most exciting bowhunt of my life, without even killing one. I saw 9 bucks and 2 does, a coyote and some turkeys. At the end of the morning hunt, I was out of arrows and had the shakes... I shot at the coyote first, miss #1. Then I shot under a six pointer at 30 yards, miss #2. Then a doe and another 6pt came by with no shot and bedded down about 45 yds in front of me. While they laid there the 8 pt came from way behind me grunting as if a hog was oinking and snorting his way through the woods towards me. His lips were rolled back, nose in the air on a string right at the doe lying down. I was so surprised that I wasn’t ready when he went by me at 15 yds! He trotted up to the doe and pushed her with his antlers to get her up. The 6 pt jumped up and started fighting with the 8pt at 50yds and then after a few seconds the 6 turned tail and the 8 ran him off. So I’m left with a doe who’s at 50 and no bucks and I’m shaking like a leaf. The 8 comes running back and tried to mount the doe. She keeps jumping ahead to prevent it, towards me, and as they got closer I drew my bow with my last broadhead. As he tried to mount her again at 20 yards, I put the pin on him, pulled the trigger release.... the arrow tipped a branch, slapped him on the butt as it whipped by him. He dang near jumped over her! I had to laugh as they walked away and I decided to climb down and get my arrows. After climbing back up, I had a 5 point at 15 yds and I couldn’t even hold my pins on him I was so shook up.... I saw a few more assorted deer and the turkeys before the end of hunt, but hooked on bow hunting for life. I was shooting an old Bear Whitetail Hunter II.
The Element,that hunt was in Northeast Missouri...saw some big bucks up there during the years I hunted up there. From the pics and videos I see, there’s still a few up there! This video, with the creekbottom and woods looks incredibly similar to where my hunt took place along the Fabius River...
Congratulations nice public buck! Two tips, when ever you raise or lower your bow tie the pull string on the end of the bow so the arrows are pointed towards the direction of travel so the fletching doesn't hang up on branches, second be careful with that safety strap around your neck.
Awesome hunt, great buck! I'd agree on the age 3 1/2 year old. Especially in a state like Iowa where the deer have so many crops to get big just like my home state of Missouri. They get big quick up north of I-70.
Ridge Raised Outdoors Well thanks man!! That’s high praise! It was cool thing to experience. Glad to see you agree. Those Iowa deer are a touch bigger than the East Texas deer around home!
@@TheElementWild oh no doubt man hey if you get a chance jump over to our Channel and check out some of our videos we had a pretty good year this year put a couple good bucks down in Ohio and PA
bobby green wow that’s a ton of deer! This was my busiest year and I’ve only hunted 4 states so far and definitely didn’t tag out in all of them. Sounds like you have a good idea what you’re doing in the deer woods!
The Element did not finish school or college, my father owned a grocery store and was a drinker , I was never so I worked seven nights a week and had every day off till four pm , I either hunted grouse or deer nearly every day , my first wife stayed six years and then left me , she told a friend that she couldn’t complete with the deer , from the 70 s until 2005 , I did this and am so glad I did ,when you get older and more financially sound , it makes you want to not hunt and fish all the time , not to mention not feeling like doing that , so don’t wait till you get older , the drive goes away. Oh just in NC and WV I have killed over 500 ruffed grouse.
The Element for sure! Hard work pays off!! Going to be doing a lot of public land coyote hunting here soon, I’m northwest of Ft worth! If y’all would want to join to film y’all are more than welcome
God Is Awesome Brother ! Congrats On A Beautiful Buck !! One thing I was looking for You to show was the entrance and exit wound. I could see the entrance but didnt get to see what damage was done on the arrow's exit. Anyway enough babbling lol. Glory Goes To The Lord ! God Bless You Brother !!!
Pedro Verissimo Thank you sir! Definitely helps to have a local buddy to hold the camera for ya after the shot! You a bird hunter? I saw the dogs in your pic.
Yes but I love deer hunting have some videos of me hunting on TH-cam of deer hunting but self filming too it’s hard but here where are allowed to bait so it’s little easier
Man one more week and ots game on. But hey that was so cool hearing him grunt like that for a second I thought it was you I was like why is he grunting that close lol. But great footage
I heard bucks grunt but never that long and was even roaring at some point. I hunt ms and ar river delta. But very awesome footage just got another follower.
I agree on the age. And I have killed many deer in the road with my car's. And I mean car's, they don't last me very long here in Michigan. Congrats on the awesome hunt.
@@TheElementWild Some are good size. I have shot a couple that field dressed 180 pounds. Michigan hunter's don't let them get very old. My last car, I hit 2 deer in 2 miles on my way to work. Even the small ones do a lot of damage.
The Element not nearly that intense but I did have a buck do a few super deep grunts almost a roar then i was able to lure him in with a snort wheeze, he came in behind some trees didn’t see anything then circled way down wind and busted me. Still an awesome experience!!
Congratulations to you and everybody who played a role!! Awesome deer!!! Those vocalizations were insane-never heard grunting that intense in the field personally...he was either extremely frustrated with her or the breeding was getting ready to happen RIGHT there...either way, awesome!!! God is so good!!
Ronald Calvird That’s exactly how I perceived it! First time I ever heard anything remotely like that. Was a cool day to be in the woods.
Amen The Lord Is Good !

Let the adventures begin!!!
LDGG!
He Shure was a grunt'n, nice buck! 3.5maybe4 Love your message about the Lord 😎
Lee Tucker Thanks Lee! Never heard one grunt like that have you?!
Awesome buck 👍 I’d say 3 1/2 maybe 4 1/2. What was his weight ? That was so cool having him grunt steady like that
Danny Knapp Man I didn’t have time or resources to weigh him being out of state! Thanks for watching! Would love if you subscribed!
Dude your setup was killer!
Quercus Alba Thanks Querk!
Man, the vocalizations on this video were insane, nice job!
Man Vs Deer Hey thanks dood! Definitely felt lucky to experience that!
Awesome buck !
jason willis Thanks Jason! Crazy cool experience! Hope your season went well!
Awesome vocals and hunt!
Thanks for watching! I thought it was a dirt bike coming closer until I saw him with his mouth open at 40 yards!!
Nice buck man
Grant White Thanks Grant! Probably nothing like what you killed this year, but it got me juiced up!
The element Thankyou but still I would’ve shot that buck he’s cool he would get me juiced up too
Hey brother, I've just gotten into bow hunting and live in South Texas. What are some good public land spots statewide? I'm having a tough time finding places, and do not want to hunt a ranch.
T Willingham that’s awesome man! Public hunting gets a little tougher down south. Depends on where you are and how far you want to drive. There’s I good looking place near San Angelo, Aransas NWR has some hunts, and there’s National land around Del Rio. What area are you in?
@@TheElementWild Thanks for the reply! I live in Aransas Pass, right outside of Corpus Christi. I would definitely drive wherever I need to have a good hunt.
Best grunting video I've seen yet, Congrats on the decision to sit in that set. And the kill 👍🇺🇸
Caymccarp Thanks man! It was definitely a cool experience!
Would love if you subscribed btw!
Congrats! What an awesome hunt and great interview on the cell/truck :)
Thanks Henry! Crazy cool experience!
Dude those vocalizations are nuts! Kind of a revelation of what you can actually do on a grunt call. That deer looks and acts pretty dominate in the footage. I thought 3 originally, but there is definitely a chance he is older!
Kaleb Smith Agreed! I told A-Dubb the same thing... like, how can you do it wrong?!?
Wow the vocal was amazing! Congrats on a giant!
MN TEAM HARVEST Thanks! I’d never heard anything like that before!
Nice Buck!! Congrats on a successful hunt! Those grunts were awesome.
Kyle Slaymaker Thanks Kyle! Pretty eye-opening!
sick dude that plowed through the deer, whats your arrow weight again?
HubUpFishing thanks! I think it’s about 530ish. 125 Day Six Evo up front. It’s been a killer this year!
Awesome Buck! Show us how you gut your deer and get it ready for processing. Praise God 🙏😂
Thanks Johan! Unfortunately, TH-cam does not like those kinda videos. 👎🏿 We tried it with a wild hog.
Congrats. Great video and so glad to hear you give God the credit. He is amazing
Joey Roush Thanks Joey and thanks for watching brother! Have any good bucks on camera this year??
I’ve never heard in person a long drawn out grunt like that. I have heard grunt happy bucks that grunt every second or a big grunt but this is another level. Great job getting it all caught on video.
tasaman me neither dood! Thanks for the compliment and for watching. Would love to see ya subscribe to the channel!
Great job! That grunting was CRAZY!
Bowhunter 24/7 So cool! First time hearing it like that!
WATCHING THAT BUCK AND THE WHEY HE WAS GRUNTING, GIVE'S ME ALL KIND'S OF NEW IDEA'S. GREAT JOD BROTHER
PETER PROUD CHEROKEE ALEXANDER Thank you! Me too! Really makes me think that you can’t hardly mess it up!
Great job man, great plan!! Way to gut it out when the going gets tough! If I had to guess on the deer’s age, I would say a good two year old for Iowa, but I would be curious to see what the test came back as well. Great deer and great experience/hunt either way!! Congratulations, and continued success to you. BTW, listen and love your podcast too 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼
Thanks a bunch Brad! Appreciate all the support across the platforms! Means a ton to us.
Way to go dude! How cool it must be to hear a buck so vocal! Keep em coming!
Chance Stone Thanks Chance! Your support is appreciated big time man!
@@TheElementWild hey great hunt! I've been getting my off-season sets ready and I'm really trying to decide what the best height is.
I know many people who say "it doesn't matter. And have just as many friends who say "you need to be way up"
I respect your game and was wondering if you had an opinion
I hunt in NJ where there are a lot of deer and also, if you're in the wrong spot, they have A LOT of pressure.
Lmk what you think.
@@johnnymillernow thanks Johnny! Man I have killed 9 bucks in 6 different states in the last two years and I bet my average height is 13 or 14’. Lots of variables to consider but I like cover and being still over height. Good luck dude!
@@TheElementWild ya, people I respect say cover is the most important. I'm not afraid to go high, but last year I did fall 20ft from my stand and had severa SERIOUS injuries.
Shattered heal. Shattered ankle. Compressed and broken bones on the top of my foot. DISLOCATED FOOT WITH BO HEAL BONES LEFT TO SET IT IN. Two broken bones in my tibia and a broken patilla.
I'm a commercial fishermen, it took me 7 months to get back out on the boat
@@johnnymillernow man! Glad you pulled through brother. 🙏🏼
I had a nice 8pt following an estrus doe come in grunting every bit as much as that. He sounded like a pig coming through the woods before I could lay eyes on either deer! That being said, in 35 years of deer hunting...it was only that one time. Really cool. OBTW, I was so worked up, I missed that 8....
Steve schisler Dude that’s cool! Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment! We’re you bow hunting when you missed?
The Element, yes! The most exciting bowhunt of my life, without even killing one. I saw 9 bucks and 2 does, a coyote and some turkeys. At the end of the morning hunt, I was out of arrows and had the shakes... I shot at the coyote first, miss #1. Then I shot under a six pointer at 30 yards, miss #2. Then a doe and another 6pt came by with no shot and bedded down about 45 yds in front of me. While they laid there the 8 pt came from way behind me grunting as if a hog was oinking and snorting his way through the woods towards me. His lips were rolled back, nose in the air on a string right at the doe lying down. I was so surprised that I wasn’t ready when he went by me at 15 yds! He trotted up to the doe and pushed her with his antlers to get her up. The 6 pt jumped up and started fighting with the 8pt at 50yds and then after a few seconds the 6 turned tail and the 8 ran him off. So I’m left with a doe who’s at 50 and no bucks and I’m shaking like a leaf. The 8 comes running back and tried to mount the doe. She keeps jumping ahead to prevent it, towards me, and as they got closer I drew my bow with my last broadhead. As he tried to mount her again at 20 yards, I put the pin on him, pulled the trigger release.... the arrow tipped a branch, slapped him on the butt as it whipped by him. He dang near jumped over her! I had to laugh as they walked away and I decided to climb down and get my arrows. After climbing back up, I had a 5 point at 15 yds and I couldn’t even hold my pins on him I was so shook up.... I saw a few more assorted deer and the turkeys before the end of hunt, but hooked on bow hunting for life. I was shooting an old Bear Whitetail Hunter II.
Steve schisler that sounds awesome!! What state is this in??
The Element,that hunt was in Northeast Missouri...saw some big bucks up there during the years I hunted up there. From the pics and videos I see, there’s still a few up there! This video, with the creekbottom and woods looks incredibly similar to where my hunt took place along the Fabius River...
Steve schisler oh nice! Yea that’s beautiful country. Would love to hunt it sometime!
Nice job on the hunt and the video and that mature buck.lt seems to take forever to happen , then it goes down so fast. Keep the faith . OHIO MITCH
Mitch Thorpe Thanks OHIO MITCH! Would love if you subscribed!
I have
Congratulations nice public buck! Two tips, when ever you raise or lower your bow tie the pull string on the end of the bow so the arrows are pointed towards the direction of travel so the fletching doesn't hang up on branches, second be careful with that safety strap around your neck.
rob brown Thanks for watching!
That’s an awesome hunt!Guess you looked like the genius! Great job brother! Crazy grunting !
Jeremiah Austin Haha! I think I’ve been the idiot enough that people still think that’s what I am! Thanks a lot dood!
The Element Haha As a follower of Christ it looks like your doing smart things! Keep up the good work!
@@jeremiahaustin5253 Well thanks man!
Congratulations Tyler that was awesome, it sounded like you were set up next to a pig farm!!!
Cheers 😎👍🏻🇨🇦
Tom Sutts Hahaha for real! Thanks Tom! Those are nice sheds in your profile pic!
@@TheElementWild southern Ontario Canada Eh!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Tom Sutts I might need to head up there one day 🤫
@@TheElementWild some great blackbear hunting 6 hrs north of me! 🏹🦌🐻
Tom Sutts That’s a lot of hours north of Texas lol!
Awesome hunt, great buck! I'd agree on the age 3 1/2 year old. Especially in a state like Iowa where the deer have so many crops to get big just like my home state of Missouri. They get big quick up north of I-70.
mohunter68 sho do man!! What part of Missouri do you hunt??
It is easy to be pessimistic, highs and lows. Congrats!
I really thought that it was you grunting he was really wanting someone to love
Dwight Pickens Dude isn’t that crazy?!You ever heard anything like that?
So proud of you! I know this was a tough hunt.
Kaley Jones 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Keep it up guys!! Love the content.
Micah Thompson Thanks Micah! Hoping to get a new vid out tonight!
Awesome hunt man. One of the coolest hunts I've ever watched especially with that grunting! 3.5 yr old tho I agree!
Ridge Raised Outdoors Well thanks man!! That’s high praise! It was cool thing to experience. Glad to see you agree. Those Iowa deer are a touch bigger than the East Texas deer around home!
@@TheElementWild oh no doubt man hey if you get a chance jump over to our Channel and check out some of our videos we had a pretty good year this year put a couple good bucks down in Ohio and PA
Ridge Raised Outdoors Awesome brother! Congrats. Headed that way!
Congratulations on the beautiful buck
bobby green Thanks Bobby! Hope your season went well!
The Element I’m 64 and one deer is enough, but I remember being younger and limiting out in five different states
bobby green wow that’s a ton of deer! This was my busiest year and I’ve only hunted 4 states so far and definitely didn’t tag out in all of them. Sounds like you have a good idea what you’re doing in the deer woods!
The Element did not finish school or college, my father owned a grocery store and was a drinker , I was never so I worked seven nights a week and had every day off till four pm , I either hunted grouse or deer nearly every day , my first wife stayed six years and then left me , she told a friend that she couldn’t complete with the deer , from the 70 s until 2005 , I did this and am so glad I did ,when you get older and more financially sound , it makes you want to not hunt and fish all the time , not to mention not feeling like doing that , so don’t wait till you get older , the drive goes away.
Oh just in NC and WV I have killed over 500 ruffed grouse.
bobby green I hear ya. You have a good testimony brother, I hope you can use it to encourage others to pursue righteous things!
Congratulations great video. Appreciate the mention of God. Im glad found your channel.
Duck Hunter88 Thanks man! Looks like you like duck hunting... you’ll appreciate this: th-cam.com/video/L4L9gxul9vQ/w-d-xo.html
Man that grunting sounds like someone ripping on a dirt bike from far off ! Awesome video !!
Michael P Crazy stuff! I woulda been mad if someone was riding a dirt bike around me lol! Been there a time or two hunting in east Texas!
What a stud man! Congrats!
Cotton Creek Outdoors Thanks! Super blessed.
The Element for sure! Hard work pays off!! Going to be doing a lot of public land coyote hunting here soon, I’m northwest of Ft worth! If y’all would want to join to film y’all are more than welcome
Cotton Creek Outdoors Sometimes it does man! We will hit ya up if we can squeeze that in!
The Element heck ya anytime! Where I’m at there’s a ton of public land we could call all day and not cover it all!
What state is this? very cool grunting footage!
Chris Williams Thanks Chris! It’s in Iowa. If you subscribe, you can follow our entire season to see other hunts from Iowa in our “SZN PLAYLIST.”
Looks like a 3 1/2 year old to me. There just isn't enough mass around the bases for it to be older, especially considering the body size
Josh Koch Thanks Josh! What do you think about this buck the day before? Age? th-cam.com/video/2cUN5TfTw5k/w-d-xo.html
God Is Awesome Brother ! Congrats On A Beautiful Buck !! One thing I was looking for You to show was the entrance and exit wound. I could see the entrance but didnt get to see what damage was done on the arrow's exit. Anyway enough babbling lol. Glory Goes To The Lord ! God Bless You Brother !!!
Michael Brown Thanks Michael! The exit was pretty slit-like and was right behind the elbow.
Michael Brown Hope that helps! Shot placement has always been my main concern over damage etc.
@@TheElementWild Thank You for taking the time to answer me Brother. God Bless You
Keep God first Amen! Great buck on public congrats!
Philip Thayer Thanks for the encouragement Philip! And for watching!
Well done. I think he's 4 and a 1/2.
Nice shot!
Grace Beacham Thanks sis!
Good job 👏
Thanks Larry!
Great hunt man and videoing too congrats
Pedro Verissimo Thank you sir! Definitely helps to have a local buddy to hold the camera for ya after the shot! You a bird hunter? I saw the dogs in your pic.
Yes but I love deer hunting have some videos of me hunting on TH-cam of deer hunting but self filming too it’s hard but here where are allowed to bait so it’s little easier
Congratulations your right God is good!
Andrew Langdon Thank you! Hope you had a great season!
Man one more week and ots game on. But hey that was so cool hearing him grunt like that for a second I thought it was you I was like why is he grunting that close lol. But great footage
Dylan .M Haha! I thought it was a dirt bike when I first heard it! Where are you hunting this year??
The Element that is hilarious, it kind of did sound like one though.
I heard bucks grunt but never that long and was even roaring at some point. I hunt ms and ar river delta. But very awesome footage just got another follower.
Thanks Roger! Definitely a cool experience that I have never seen either until that day! Thanks for subscribing brother!
These are my favorite hunts public land good stuff. 3.5 yr old my guess also.
💪🏽💪🏽
I agree on the age. And I have killed many deer in the road with my car's. And I mean car's, they don't last me very long here in Michigan. Congrats on the awesome hunt.
Bahaha i live in SE mi average about 1 or 2 a year good old m53
Thanks! Are the around the same body size up there? I can see where one would really do some damage to a vehicle.
@@TheElementWild Some are good size. I have shot a couple that field dressed 180 pounds. Michigan hunter's don't let them get very old. My last car, I hit 2 deer in 2 miles on my way to work. Even the small ones do a lot of damage.
Buck roar!
Gary Garlow Like a 🦁!!
Wow the grunting was awesome
Ty Zemke Thanks Ty! Cool that we share the same name! -Tyler
mannn that grunting is awesomeeeee. 3 1/2 for sure
Dude so cool! I couldn't believe it. You ever experienced something like that??
The Element not nearly that intense but I did have a buck do a few super deep grunts almost a roar then i was able to lure him in with a snort wheeze, he came in behind some trees didn’t see anything then circled way down wind and busted me. Still an awesome experience!!
Tyler Dunworth bummer! That’s a cool interaction tho! I learned a ton from calling encounters this year.
