- Day 8: Recurve Heartbreak. Intense Hunt.
With the recurve in hand, I hang a stand on the ultimate pinch. The bucks are moving and towards the end of the night, I find myself face to face, literally, with my target buck.

I know you're not one to produce a lesser product but I think we would all agree that just the gopro footage from that would have been sufficient Jared lol. Good luck man!
Haha. Judging by the likes on this comment it looks like you're not the only one! But obviously as you know I enjoy the quality video, it adds to the challenge without a doubt, but that's a good thing. With that being said though, I could see there being a tipping point in this quest where I rely on the GoPro footage ha. I can only let the camera beat me so many times, the deer do it enough!
@@jaredmills, He definitely is not the only one that is stunned that you didn't get it done, right there. We would have been totally ok, and you have the green light, for next time. 😂
That was awesome, I love the intensity of both the success and failure with traditional archery. That hunt was a success, thanks for taking us along
I can only dream of your dedication and nerves of steel. It's refreshing listening to and watching someone so soft spoken as yourself, unlike most of the hunting videos on here. That was a great encounter for you to share with us. Great job Jared!
I appreciate that John. Glad you enjoy it and thanks for the support as always!
Incredible footage, but you won't hurt our feelings! Let it fly, Jared!
What an awesome spot. With your shooting hole being so close, hopefully this will be a good reminder to always have your bow in hand when you hear them coming down that pinch. Wish it would have been different, but hopefully you get another opportunity. Awesome hunt
No doubt, it's just tough with filming. Holding the bow and operating the camera is challenging and especially with the recurve being so long, it'd likely get in the way or hit a branch or something while I'm following him. But it may work in certain spots, I'll have to do some practice runs.
Watching this as I sit in a tree w/ my recurve bow. Fantastic encounter. Excellent videography. Thank you for sharing. *The reward is the effort involved...Fred Bear
For sure! Good luck out there!
Camera saved another one! You had him otherwise!!! As a dedicated recurve guy…….kudos to you! You’ll get another chance!!!!
Thanks Greg! I hope you’re right!
Incredible! The knowledge you have to get close to big bucks over and over is second to none. It'll happen soon for you!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
I had to watch this again. It’s hard to say what part is most amazing! The fact that you would setup there, the pregame playbook description of the plan, the plan coming to fruition (again!!!) for you, the amount of time that buck stayed there, your patience it was all unreal.
You put together another of what for a lot of us would be a once in a lifetime outcome. Fantastic job!
Haha. Thanks man. It’s pretty rare that the pre-game plan works out, but this one did surprisingly spot on. Appreciate you watching as always
That sixth sense….ugh man what a nice buck!
Awesome he was all yours for the taken great job masterclass setup
Jared, I love your content and how you present your hunting to your followers. Enjoyed it in the past and even more as you do so independently. Good luck and God bless.
Trent- I appreciate the support. Glad you're enjoying it and same to you!
Man my heart was racing just watching him stare at you!
Just being up close and personal was a victory in my book. I can't wait to watch your November. Good luck and thanks as always
Thanks Jimbo! Good luck to you too
That was intense! I love your recurve quest. Stay with it bud. You'll get one.
That camera cost you that buck, amazing footage and what a hunt. You did everything correct. Thanks for bringing us the action but I think we all would be ok you prioritizing the shot over us seeing the shot. You are the man Jared!
I agree, plus he had the GoPro as backup so he would have had the shot on camera there too.

Very pleased to see you out there with traditional equipment. Best of experiences to you.
Jared, that was awesome no matter!! Keep after it, amazing footage!!
Man that was such a cool hunt! Great footage and cool encounter! You are the best in the business Jared
That limb moving when u lifted your bow gave you away.
Another great video man. Your dedication to getting amazing footage is evident! Thank you for another killer video!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching as always
You did more than what was needed. Awesome job. YOU WON
I think you nailed it when you said that deer should have been dead. You had great footage... anyway what a buck.
Man he just had that extra sense of something there! He never did pick you out. Just goes to show how quick they are there and hidden in a leap. Great job!🦌
For sure. Very good example of a mature buck behavior right there. Thanks for watching.
the face you make at 11:03 reads many emotions. awesome video!
Haha. Thanks man!
Awesome video. That was so close and looks like a great spot for the future.
You set the Bar even too high for you! Great footage Jared. The look on your face was priceless. Having you and the slob in the same frame was the success here! Congrats on a great hunt.
The look at the GoPro said it all!
Haha. Had to keep that in there!
Jared, the challenge in traditional bow hunting is the reward as well. Couldn’t tell you how many “what if” bucks I could have shot at using other methods! Hang in there. Awesome work, thanks!
Completely agree. That's the reason I'm picking it up. Thanks man!
@@jaredmills I picked it up in ‘02 and haven’t put it down….self bow for several years too. So much fun!
Great footage, awesome hunt, keep it coming.
Even though you didn't let an arrow go that's a successful hunt in my book! Great footage and encounter. Stay after em.
Man. Your footage is always amazing.
Once again Jared lays down some awesome footage. I caught myself holding my breathe when he was walking by you. That was close!
That's awesome. Thanks for watching as always!
Wowsers that’s intense Jared!
This was really frustrating to watch. We were about to have Thanksgiving dinner before that buck finally buggered out of there. 😄
Every episode is top notch, can’t wait for more!
Appreciate the support!
That was super exciting. Keep at it.
Try putting the scent on the opposite side of the trail, so he will be facing away from you
All in all a great sit!!!! He definitely knew something just wasn't right..... amazing footage as always!!
For sure, they always seem to know. Thanks for watching as always!
Great video man! Nothing like these up-close encounters, best of luck with the recurve!!
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching
At one point that big buck was that little buck meandering in the creek and playing.
Awesome hunt Jared! You are always in the game brother!!
It was a fun one! Thanks for watching!
Haha welcome to the traditional side! Only thing I seen you could have done is put the scent on the opposite side of trail on a scent wick to keep attention away from yourself! Hang in there you will get it done! It’s a feeling like no other because it takes hard work and dedication to shoot a recurve or longbow! Good luck!
"Now now .. leave the camera alone.. ☠️☠️ shoot shoot. " this was me the whole time.. 🤣🤣 Man, great job, brother. I appreciate your dedication and humbleness. You are by far an awesome individual who I'd love to meet in person one day. Huge fan this way, brother, North Carolina native.
As a trad guy, I've been waiting for this video - obviously with a different outcome! That was pure pain watching that buck walk in without you holding your bow. But that footage was epic lol. Can't wait to see the redemption video.
Haha. Thanks Matt. I'm sure it had to be painful watching that for most people, but it's the reality of what I enjoy doing. As you know, hunting with trad equipment is a different sport. Same goes for filming at a quality level. But it's what drives us!
Awesome hunt
Great hunt and close, oh so close
Love watching. I live vicariously thru you during deer season. Been Pretty slow in upstate New York. Keep the videos comin man! Good luck. 🤙🏻
Thanks Jeff! Hope it picks up up there. Good luck and thanks for following!
And that’s why I’ll never film my hunts again….wow whatta buck!!!
Jared that's a win in my book. To get a monarch to your tree is an unbelievable task ...great job!!
Thanks man!
That was awesome! I caught myself holding my breath. LOL
Haha that's great. Thanks for watching!
You sure didn’t fail, that was successful a hunt as any. Amazing footage Jared.
Appreciate it Josh!
Super tuff situation. The only think I can think of is that it might help putting the scent on the other side of the trail so he looks away. Awesome hunt, fun to watch!
You’re still the goat. Keep the footage coming, can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Good luck.
Appreciate it!
Another great one . Keep it up you’ll get em
Hopefully you're right. Thanks for watching!
the go pro footage would have been good enough, however, HD footage was a heart stopper for any hunter to watch. well done by any measure, I tip my cap to you. Nov 7 today 60 deg. high winds in the big woods and I saw the biggest buck I've seen in 20 yrs. the rut goes on despite the conditions. Best regards to you as you grind on.
It's definitely time. Best of luck out there!
Go pro would be perfect. Send that arrow Jared. Send it. Great content. Subscriber for life.
Wow!! What an experience!
I guess the chase just wasn’t meant to be over. My heart was going crazy just watching that unfold!🤣 Hopefully your paths will cross again soon.🤞
Haha! I hope so too! Thanks!
You are magic with that camera!.....cocking his head to eyeball you was a thing of beauty!!! Great video!.....and you also discovered an underwater deer trail😉
Haha no doubt. Might have to start hunting that movement!
Jared, great footage of an awesome buck! Even though you didn’t get the shot at the buck the thrill of being that close is part of the hunt. Second guessing oneself is only going to help the next time he or another great buck comes by the stand.
Thats epic to go after a hammer like that with your traditional gear! Keep at it!
Thanks man, will do!
Can’t imagine how intense that was from the stand, my heart was pounding watching it all unfold. Awesome footage. Hope ya get another crack at him!
I can tell you the video did not do the intensity justice! Thanks for watching
Great footage! Keep grinding.
Appreciate it!
That look on your face when you looked at the go pro said it all! Awesome hunt!
Haha for sure, had to keep that in there. Thanks!
Awesome hunt Jared! It’s so stinking tough to self tape well with a compound but with a stickbow it gets 100x harder. Stick with it, you’ll get it done! It sure hurts to let the golden opportunity slip by because of the camera and trying to get stickbow close. Where a compound hunter’s hunt ends is where our hunt begins!
No doubt! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
That was a brute of a buck. His body was huge and his rack looked like it was 20+ inches wide and to have him that close, I'd of fell out of the tree just seeing something that big. Laughing..... You have nerves of steel my friend. Keep after it and you will succeed as always. Be safe out there.
Thanks Bill! It was intense being that close for sure
That was awesome
Thanks Zach
No doubt you will have another opportunity. That is some great footage.
Thanks for watching man
That was freakin sweet Jared. I truly hope you pull that off. I've tried a little Recurve myself. No success though. Wish my neighbors would challenge themselves, to a real hunt!!! Wish you the best of luck fella.
Haha I hear ya. Thanks man!
That ol boy will remember that spot
Hopefully he's got a short term memory!
That was intense just watching!
Awesome hunt though! Don’t give up on the recurve, keep the compound away and keep pushing! This is only my second year with a longbow, but I don’t foresee myself going back to the compound, ever!
Thanks man. I'm not all the way in on in yet, still using the compound on certain hunts, but I could see myself going 100% traditional at some point for sure.
That was not FAILURE... I CALL THAT A SUCCESS... for me watching... great content.
I had the same thing happen, in Kansas yesterday and this morning . 15 and 20 yards, got pinned for no reason. great hunt though. 👏
It happens! Good luck out there
That was intense bro!!!
No doubt!
Well done as a hunter. Great video work. Putting the 2 together alone is a difficulty level on the top shelf. If killing big buck is the objective, you no doubt can do that. If filming it alone to provide footage for others is the objective, you can do that also very well. It doesn't always happen. That is hunting. The extra variable of camera and camera work and bow(recurve to boot) is taking on a huge challenge. We greatly appreciate it. Lord bless.
You nailed it. It's a tough combo but it's part of the chase for me. Thanks as always!
Great videography Jared!!!! Oh so close 😢. Glad to see the stick and string in your hand 😃😃. Since you’re new to the recurve try this trick the next time you’re in the stand. Instead of hanging your bow from a limb or aftermarket hanger, tuck/slide your lower limb into the top of your rubber boot!!! It’s a hands free secure location that couldn’t be in a better place. Another thing that you might want to consider is an arrow holder. No way for the arrow to fall off the shelf if you bump your bow or hunt in a stiff breeze. Looking forward to seeing more of your upcoming hunts. Thanks for sharing 😃🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
Thank you for the input! I've struggled mightily with hanging that thing. I will give that a try. Not sure how it'll work with filming and might be in the way but possibly I could get it there when I see or hear something coming at least. Appreciate it!
The dedication to hunt for the camera may have cost you that one, But your dedication to produce great footage was absolutely on point. the day is coming when it all comes together. #respect
Thanks!
Thank you! I think this my first "Super Thanks", I appreciate it! Reach out anytime
You're quiet welcome, Jared. It never hurts a person to tip every now and then, and besides, your video quality and hunting adventures are are educational, great and very entertaining. Cheers! @@jaredmills
I’m surprised you didn’t grab your bow earlier,nice buck for sure.
Just tough with self filming. Thanks for watching.
Wow what a beast 😮
Unreal video Jared! Love this type of content! I’m personally a self filming hardo and have learned a few things from it. Personally I would have grabbed your bow just before he came into the opening and used one hand on your camera. The other option that would have been even easier is to move the camera to the scrape just before he got to the opening, grabbed your bow and relied on GoPro footage for those few steps in the opening before he go into your frame on the scrape. That way you could have shot when he got their! That being said the footage was amazing and hindsight is 20/20. I’ve been in your same shoes more times than I care to think about, it’s just a part of self filming. Good luck and keep up the great work!
Thanks! And yeah, certainly things I could have done different now that we know how it played out, but it’s hard for me to sacrifice good footage. That is a big part of the challenge and I love that aspect of if. Appreciate you following!
@@jaredmills that’s very fair, if your committed to 10/10 footage there’s not a whole lot you can do. We certainly appreciate that sacrifice!
Cool hunt it’s just harder to kill him with a recurve. Your footage is always great. I also hunt with recurves longbows and selfbows. Screwed up many times and I don’t even film. Just messed up last week with a new selfbow that I built this spring. Nice buck, hang in there with that Hoyt Satori. I’ve always wanted one.
Hey Jared, great video! Always enjoy watching your content. You may or may not know, but sony has an awesome feature I like to use filming hunts, especially self filming (Auto ISO). I seen you adjust your iso before the 10 came in, anyway you can set it to auto (set your min and max) and it will adjust it automatically for you. 1 less think to think about or mess with in the heat of the moment! Cheers
Hey man, thanks for that! I’ve used it some, and probably should more often. If I remember right, the one thing I didn’t like about it was it automatically changing a little too much for my liking throughout a shot when it wasn’t necessary. But I will probably use it a little more, you’re right in that anything you can eliminate, even if it only saves a couple seconds, is important. Thanks again!
Incredible heart pounding encounter. I guess in hindsight, maybe placing scent on the opposite side of the trail so he wouldn’t be facing your direction should you try that little trick again. I was really hoping you could pull it off on the first try and almost succeeded. Great hunt regardless of the outcome. Can’t wait for the next one with the recurve.
Man you may not have killed that beast but you're killin it with the footage! The last two videos have been amazing!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching as always
Awesome video and encounter better luck next time you did everything right but bid bucks get big for a reason they have a 6th sense especially that close
That one was so close the go pro footage of the shot would have been enough. Cameras have give many mature deer longer lives lol. That 7 point looked like an old mature deer to me. If you get another chance in that tree I would let the go pro get that shot footage. Great video looking forward to the next traditional update.
Thanks man. Yeah it would certainly be a sacrifice to the quality of footage, which would pain me, but there might be a point that's what it comes down to. Thanks for watching!
Awesome, so close...
So close. Thanks for watching.
I have hunted and filmed with some of the best hunters around.. A friend of mine who guides, hunts and films in Illinios, introduced me to the go pro over the shoulder filming the filming. This is a really good perspective from the GO Pro. It's incredibly hard to pull it all together with him on to you, with any weapon. Really good footage. Played it back several times.
almost Jared. great video. next time you will be lucky.
I hope you’re right! Thanks for watching
Damn I never get this lucky and I hunt good private land 😢Good hunt though keep pushing Jared you never fail to disappoint
Haha. Luck is what it takes so you gotta figure out to get more of that! Thanks for watching as always!
Amazing hunt!! That’s a dead deer all day if you weren’t self filming. Crazy how close he was. That in itself is a win 🏆
That’s intense
No doubt
Your content is by far the best produced content on RUclips. I had a very similar situation happen to me on Nov 1. I love getting them close enough to kiss. You hunt just like me please don't stop producing I love it!!
Awesome hunt & great footage! Just a thought, would it be possible to put your scent on the other side of the path so when he stops to smell he’s facing the other direction? Just a thought, it may not work for a good shot?
What a great hunt man! It's more impressive to me that you got that close to an animal like that than if you would have killed him at 20-30 yards. Really enjoy all of your content and look forward to seeing what happens next. Good luck Jared!
I agree, but would’ve been nice to finish it too! Thanks for following along, good luck!
Well Jared if it was easy u wouldn’t do it that much I know. Some times you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug. Thanks again for another great video
Wondering why especially at that distance would you not cover your face and hands...it sure seems he picked out your face...great video though... I'm sure it's amazing to have him that close
Not a hater here. I am amazed at guys that worry more about getting footage rather than taking the shot when it’s presented. Too much time fiddling with camera. As a hunter I would much rather get the buck than the video. To each his own.
