Welcome to every bow hunters nightmare!! From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows! Appreciate you showing the whole story!! People don't understand how we as hunters are thankful for the animals we harvest. We all feel the same emotion you felt. You handled it with class!!
First take I thought it was just a little forward normal speed. When I seen the shot in slow motion, slightly quarter to you. The angle of the arrow caught just a little shoulder and then into the lung. I thought you would have found him dead the next morning. It was definitely fatal, just a littler longer than I would have expected. You were spot on the distance! He only moved a little. Some animals are tuff as nails!! BEAUTIFUL BUCK!! That one will make you over think the next one you harvest!
Great job K.C. what a beautiful buck, I loved the way you tied this together at the end, speaking from the heart, a true hunter and a kind man. A kill no matter the weapon when not quickly lethal is tough to watch. I appreciate your closing words, something similar happened this year with my son's bow kill. We walked up and finished him at ten yards, and that's as he looked us in the eye. We walked over and knelt next to him and held hands and thanked the lord for our time together, the harvest of the deer, for just being alive, enjoying gods creations, I haven't ever done that in fifty years of hunting, my son turned to me and said Dad that was great, we stood up and embraced. It's funny but this year "I'm 61 now" is the first time I have been moved so deeply over a kill and felt a bit of remorsefulness. Something for me anyway has changed, I think age is part of it and knowing how precious each day is. Seeing something so beautiful, so incredibly tough, etc.. it's hard watching it's life end. Like you said K.C. knowing you were the reason it's dying, that's a huge responsibility to be in charge of and cared for with respect. Early in my hunting career in my twenties I was a stone killer, it was kind of like a blood lust maybe, it was all about the kill. If it walked, crawled, flew that mean't I was chasing it, and I was determined to end the day with a kill. It's just so much more then that, just being able to get out in the woods, taking it all in, the kill is just a fraction of what its about. The fire still burns in me, I still love hunting and being in the woods, yet if I don't see a hair its all good though, its so much more then that. We all should never forget our blessings, freedoms, security and how precious all life is. We should all slow down and take a moment every now and then to reflect on our blessings and to give thanks to our creator, who's afforded us this great outdoors, these incredible creatures to hunt, this life. Have a great rest of your season fellas, hunt smart, hunt safe.
I cant begin to tell you how much i appreciate your take at the end of the hunt. Deer hunting or any hunting for that matter is a passion but also a tremendous responsibility that we dont take lightly. It is so fullfilling and at the same time a solemn moment of appreciation for the opportunity and gratitude to the Lord for his blessing.
Thank you for your words of encouragement man. I am blessed everyday I get to be in Gods creation. Being able to harvest a deer is just an amazing added bonus!
This video is the truest form of compassion and Honesty that I have ever seen. The last portion of this video really hit me hard and thank you so much for the time it took to film and edit this hunt. God bless you guys
This is a great tutorial on bow hunting…and ethical follow up even when it’s not fun…and supporting another hunter even when it disrupts your hunt plan…good stuff on the reality of hunting and life
Around the 26 minute mark, when he’s talking about James and appreciating creation and taking it all in, that was my favorite part. When putting in a lot of work in a beautiful area like that, it’s truly amazing to see what God has made and what God gives us the ability to do. Praise be to the Lord!
Congratulations KC, thanks for sharing all the ups and downs of hunting these beautiful creatures. I especially appreciate your scripture references that help put it all in perspective. Keep em coming.
@@TheElementWildawesome video! I'm interested in videography and am wondering what cameras you use to film? Specifically the one used at around 42:00 to film that buck encounter. Love the videos guys
Listen to y’all talk about this on the podcast and was very interested to watch it. Glad you didn’t sugarcoat. It doesn’t always turned out the way we want but I’m glad you portrayed it honestly
The scriptures you read from James about halfway through this video is exactly what I needed to hear right now. It’s been a grind of a season and I have been getting discouraged but hearing those words make me appreciate the blessing of just getting to go out and hunt.
Keep after them, man! It’s worth it. Maybe you don’t kill this year, but the lessons you learn will go with you your whole life. Also, reading some scripture along the way will help you apply things on another deeper level. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
It’s hard if you don’t have experience or if you’re not comfortable with your bow. Shoot it every day until you can hit a penny at 20 yards. TIL then stick to rifles
Great hunt KC something just happened because they do nothing we can do about it. You guys are well respected in the hunting industry. One of my top 2 channel's to watch.
Incredibly tough animals. Hunt long enough, this happens. Lots of folks do not want to admit it. They are perfect shots. Make no mistakes. 12 ring everytime. Well done to all involved. Kudos to the other hunters joining in.
Some of the best to do it in the industry. Thanks for all the hard work guys. Very impressed. Keep up the hard work and continue to share your faith. It’s sadly lacking in today’s day and age.
KC I really needed to hear the words from James about endurance. Sitting here dealing with some tough health issues and it was really getting to me when I watched this. Thank you sir. Love you guys.
I was looking forward to this one after hearing the podcast yesterday. It sucks when things go sideways but at least you found him and finished the job. Congrats on a heck of a deer, KC!
Im glad you showed the low point. Deer are incrediblely tough animals and bow hunting is really hard. Glad you were able to finish the job and congrats on a grear deer!
Brother, your humbleness and too turning to our Lord Jesus Christ!! Brother, this is the best hunting video i have watched in a long time!! God gave us these amazing creatures to pursue, but like life, He never, never promised it to be easy!! Thats why we as sinners must turn to Him!! Thank you for making this video my brother in Christ!! Man this was awesome. Full of highs and lows, but Gods will prevailed!! Psalms 115:1!! JT
That was, without a doubt, one of the best hunts I've gotten to follow along with. Thank you for sharing this, the ups and the downs. Thank you for the timely scripture. I'm reading through the New Testament for the first time in my adult life - almost through Luke. I'm excited to get to James now. On a side note: I hope your buddies at First Lite see the need for some more wind proof gear. No matter how much wool I got on - the minute that cold breeze starts hitting its shiver city.
I shot at a nice buck last night and didnt get him. Think i hit a limb and deflected my bullet. We hunted this morning and my nephew saw him. Tonight another hunter told my nephew they killed a big buck in that area. Kind of kicking myself but thanks to KCs words i feel inspired to go out and keep trying. Maybe ill get another opportunity!
My rig: 480 grn (TKO) micro dia, (fixed) 4-blade (solid carbon steel) 29.5" arrow, 68lbs@280 fps (331 IBO): equals, 0.6 slug (momentum). Any questions? Our minister spoke on James last Sunday, but it was appreciated more by hearing this way.
I love how you take time in the video to speak of scriptures from the Bible. This was the first video Ive watched from this channel and because of that, I subscribed. Thank you
I had a very similar situation this year. My first shot should have been plenty good enough for a quick end, but I had to track him over 600 yards. It was a pass through shot, both his front legs were broken by the time he finally layed down. I crawled up to 12 yards for the final 2 shots and he still tried to get up and run. Very dramatic experience, it was most definitely bittersweet.
My first button buck and deer i shot required a full quiver of arrows and two rounds of deer coming in. I had to lower my bow to get the first round of deer out of there so i could go find my arrows as a cold front and snow shower approached along with another set of deer. drilled the deer on the 6th arrow.
Thank you for showing this, i think most people probably wouldnt have put this on air for everyone to see, but its good for new hunters to see it does not always go as planned, and hunts can go horribly wrong. This shows everyone the persistence and struggle it may take when everything goes wrong, because for allot of people one arrow does not mean one dead deer, you guys did a great job, and think god might have put those other hunters there that day, knowing you would need more shots, I bet you will start caring 5 arrows im the future tho.
Great hunt KC! That a way to stay in the hunt I was feeling the drama from behind this MacBook!! SHEESH!! Those follow ups tend to hardin ya and give you a little more perspective for the animal. Beautiful buck man ,GREAT HUNT!!!!!....
Are you running the XC or the Archon? I know y'all did a video on them but now that your in the midst of season and have hours in them I wonder which one you've gravitated to most often?
@@TheElementWild Thanks for replying. I ordered both the Archon and XC during Cruzr's black friday sale. I kept the Archon and sent the XC back. I liked both. Just really liked the back support of the 2 panel Archon. I had borrowed a couple other saddles from friends and was able to compare/contrast several together. I've saddle hunted for a few years so I had an idea of what I was looking for already. I've gotten to hunt from the Archon a few times since and I'm happy with it. I think it'll serve me well for several years. In my opinion there's multiple correct answers to "which is most ____________" depending on the individual answering the question. I know this video wasn't a saddle review but maybe someone sees it and its helpful to them.
I’ve served most of my adult life in the military and have experienced the same emotional experience with a harvest. Almost to the point it had me questioning my own beliefs about doing what I loved. Looking the animal directly in the eye as you had to make a stalk to end the life of an animal you so dearly admire is something I don’t want to do again. Since that hunt I’ve probably passed more questionable shots and situations compared to others who would not have. But at 50yrs old and over 16yrs of military service I feel more comfort being that way. I pray one clean shot at every release but also understand that reality is there for things to not go the way we expect. People can say want they want but as you get older things change. I’m not the hard core jarhead I once was.
Two things I love about your shows: 1. First and foremost your unashamed faith in Christ. 2. You show real hunting, not the manicured, cleaned up version show by some. That buck was a tough rascal to take that many arrows without expiring.
One lung hits are for sure not always fatal. They’re crazy tough animals and a one lung hit deer is far from a guaranteed recovery most of the times. Lessons learned I suppose. Glad you recovered him and congratulations!
24:50 I love the feeling when I’m in west Texas hunting knowing that the land I’m looking at has been the same forever and not many if any man has stood where I am standing.
Amen on your Bible verse. Jesus loves us so much he let's us enjoy these moments of success and love in your passion. With Him, we have nothing. Thank you Father
All you can do is move on.a learn from it . Thank you for tracking him and putting the big boy down. Some do no 2 go back and get the deer that is the sin of hunting. Nice buck
Do you have any idea why your arrow didn’t go through both lungs and the body? We would all like to know I think. I once shot at a monster mule deer and I hit him right in the bone of the front leg in the shoulder. Bad shot. He just ran away like if nothing happened and I could see my arrow dangling barely in and blood on him until he disappeared in the first bushes about 200 meters away. I waited and then I went and I found my arrow at the edge of the bush and a little blood on the leaves and less and less blood and then I never saw that deer again until I returned many weeks later and I saw him and he was perfectly healthy. He was not my intended target, I had been crawling on my belly for hours to get at a HUGE one (both deer had bedded down after I spotted them far away) but suddenly when I was so close to them (less than 20 m) but could not see them, the big one exploded in front of me and on my left, jumping in the air so high and so fast that I never got a shot and then the “smaller” (still a huge buck but not a Boonie) stood up and started walking and I decided to take the shot while he was walking in an angle. I know stupid, just an inch or two to the left and I would have got him in the lungs…. It affected me so bad that I hunted with my rifle after that. But next year, after years of hunting with a rifle, I would like to hunt with one of my bows again with one of my sons, especially if we could go in our favourite spot where we got so many nice ones in the past.
happen to me once, the deer was single lung high and sit for 8h not dead, 3 bloody bed cause i jump him thinking its dead since its a broad side shot. when I got to him 12h later he still alive, look at me but cant stand up cause he lost too much blood, i hold him down with a wood block and my buddy put him to sleep with a knife, not even a big deer. If the deer got shot lay down and look at you and not run its already a dead deer, but its funny that this deer look like a porcupine with all the arrow =). You can just walk right up and put him down, if he can run he already did. Nice deer.
The way y’all unashamedly read scripture makes y’all the best in the business. Keep up the good work fellas!
I sure appreciate it
That relationship they have with the lord is what produces success
I 100% agree!!!
I appreciate all you dudes! Thanks for supporting us and the encouragement.
Amen brother

I really would like a separate video where you show where those arrows hit and what they did to the vitals. Congrats, and good job finishing the task.

Same here brother. It’s been tough but I feel better about things after hearing that scripture
I appreciate yalls sharing of your faith!
Blessings yall!
Thanks dude. I appreciate the encouragement!
Your bow likes that heavier arrow you borrowed! The sound at the shot is telling you that if you listen to your last two shots back to back!
Great hunt/ great video!
I agree!
That closing interview man. Good grounding moments right there.
You’re right, man. Every buck finds a way to do it to ya.
What a hunt! Really appreciate you showing the whole thing. Bowhunting is hard
It’s hard if you don’t have experience or if you’re not comfortable with your bow. Shoot it every day until you can hit a penny at 20 yards. TIL then stick to rifles
If the arrows ain't flying ain't nothing dieing, send em
Wow, crazy hunt man. Glad you were able to get in and finish him. Great deer!
Man I have the same stick and cruzr platform. Perfect combo my guy. That platform is untouchable!!

When your belly is round, it’s hard to get that low lol.

Hey polock did you end up hunting out of the .75 ? If so how did you like it
Dont be a talker be a doer,, if you have dreams and dont do anything its just a dream. Bring your dreams come true by doing
Love this episode fellas !
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
What was that brown puffy jacket with the hood that you were wearing in the tree? It looked warm and comfortable.
Thanks! That's the Brooks Down by First Lite.
U tha man
Cold weather plays a major factor in bow performance. Hence, why slinging arrows sucked in this scenario. Mother nature will make you earn your keep!

Yes. Two blade rear deploy.
The deer became a pincushion and should be some interesting meat to eat after processing 😂 Good job not giving up!
Closure is a thang, yo. Envelopes seal for a reason
With a bunch of Iron Will’s, lighted nocks, Titanium impact collars and Axis arrows that’d be a $500 buck just in arrows? And worth it!
Around 29:00 we learned a lesson about staying in the stand all day.
💫
Good stuff!.
Two things I love about your shows: 1. First and foremost your unashamed faith in Christ. 2. You show real hunting, not the manicured, cleaned up version show by some. That buck was a tough rascal to take that many arrows without expiring.

Hope he saw it!
One lung hits are for sure not always fatal. They’re crazy tough animals and a one lung hit deer is far from a guaranteed recovery most of the times. Lessons learned I suppose. Glad you recovered him and congratulations!
Please reach out to DCA Custom Arrows and let Kyle design the perfect arrows for you! You won’t regret it!

Yeah dude. It’s super cool. Humbling.
Had the same hunt once. Looked like an Indian war party killed it. That's when I started sleeping with my bow !! Lol. Changed me for the better !
That's why you Cary a big bowl knife to let the air out em😅
Amen on your Bible verse. Jesus loves us so much he let's us enjoy these moments of success and love in your passion. With Him, we have nothing. Thank you Father
Great film but Please turn down the sensitivity on your mic!
All you can do is move on.a learn from it . Thank you for tracking him and putting the big boy down. Some do no 2 go back and get the deer that is the sin of hunting. Nice buck
When you shoot, hold your breath.
Dint worry bud you are not to deep for me on what you say
Mechanicals won’t shoot through grass like a fixed head
October 28 is my birthday
Almost got you a birthday buck!
Who was the guys that assisted the hunt and gave ya an arrow to kill him I wanna subscribe to the for being so good to ya
They're called The Hunting Pressure.

I waited and then I went and I found my arrow at the edge of the bush and a little blood on the leaves and less and less blood and then I never saw that deer again until I returned many weeks later and I saw him and he was perfectly healthy. He was not my intended target, I had been crawling on my belly for hours to get at a HUGE one (both deer had bedded down after I spotted them far away) but suddenly when I was so close to them (less than 20 m) but could not see them, the big one exploded in front of me and on my left, jumping in the air so high and so fast that I never got a shot and then the “smaller” (still a huge buck but not a Boonie) stood up and started walking and I decided to take the shot while he was walking in an angle. I know stupid, just an inch or two to the left and I would have got him in the lungs…. It affected me so bad that I hunted with my rifle after that. But next year, after years of hunting with a rifle, I would like to hunt with one of my bows again with one of my sons, especially if we could go in our favourite spot where we got so many nice ones in the past.
Yes. It actually went through both lungs, but broadhead didn't open. Last time I shoot an unproven point at a deer.
happen to me once, the deer was single lung high and sit for 8h not dead, 3 bloody bed cause i jump him thinking its dead since its a broad side shot. when I got to him 12h later he still alive, look at me but cant stand up cause he lost too much blood, i hold him down with a wood block and my buddy put him to sleep with a knife, not even a big deer. If the deer got shot lay down and look at you and not run its already a dead deer, but its funny that this deer look like a porcupine with all the arrow =). You can just walk right up and put him down, if he can run he already did. Nice deer.
Video is on his stuff.
get yourself a electric bike , it will change your way of hunting , it gets me back there, it drags my deer out,
Mine got stolen!
I’m sorry I couldn’t watch the bubbling water background noise drove my ears nuts
That shot was dead in the shoulder
I’m assuming you shot a mechanical. When are people going to learn that they are cripplers. I wish mechanicals were illegal everywhere
If you cut the brow tines off your rattling antlers, your fingers will thank you!
