One of best videos I’ve ever watched! Loved every second of this. Real guys hunting big deer and showing true emotion. Not these guys who act fake in front of a camera and have thousands of acres at their disposal killing big bucks. Making plans, scouting, spot bouncing, tree to tree and ending on a giant buck. That’s what I love!
Thanks Brandon! Appreciate the comment!
@@behindthebow Why hunt if you become emotional like a little kid that fell of his bike? It's either fake or wasted potential...
@@soltcolt4506 because he has passion about what he’s doing. This from someone that has a blue fuzzy squirrel for a profile, that’s all we need to know about you squirrel. Go somewhere else meat……🙄🤪
@@robertmyers7542 Don't judge a book by it's cover. This man baby who cries when kills an animal deserves no respect. Passion? More like acting, if he cries he gets more views.
Who doesn't get drunk at deer Camp? True words 👏
Nobody gets drunk at my camp. And we have the time of our lives. Drunkenness would only detract from an otherwise wholesome, joyful experience.
@@Johnbobon I’ll send yall a bottle must be in a dry county
GOATS ! I’m 57 and have been chasing whitetail since I was 11, I have been watching videos since the early Raglin, Knight & Hale , Wentzel days. I filmed 4 years for Bill McCall owner and creator of Full Draw Adventures, I said all that to say this piece is some of the best overall videography/content/storytelling I have seen.
Really appreciate that! Thank you sir! Loved me some Raglin and Fitzgerald!
I’m dying over here with skylars commentary. “BTB is on a budget….buy a hat”
Or the dip being almost as good as French toast 😂
undoubtedly the best hunting video I've seen in 2 years. incredible cinematography, editing, footage, story telling. The Lord gifted yall in a myriad of ways. Awesome!
Thanks Cameron, we appreciate it!
Iioooooooopoo
I am 73 and still at it. You remind me of me
Now I cant do what I did but I still get out all the time. This is the best film I have seen since white knuckle stuff
Appreciate that, Todd Pringnitz was my biggest inspiration when I was younger. RIP Todd.
Behind the bow just feels like real deer hunting. Your stories always hit different. Congrats on a slammer boys! Good luck this season!
Thanks man! Same to you!
This video deserves to be on the FULL DRAW film tour. Fricken awesome boys.
Thank you!
I always come back and watch this video! Probably watched it 5 times now, great job fellas!
Thanks dude!!
Had to come back real quick and watch the hammer once more. Hope Skylar makes an appearance in some 2023 videos. I still hold this video as my favorite on all of youtube.
So glad you’re back!! Great buck, story, music, and cinematography! More content, please.
Thanks Terry
The channel that started my amateur public land hunting video addiction....I'm glad to see you are doing well Curtis! Congrats on the buck guys......Curtis man, keep up the content. I still go back and watch your old videos. Much respect brothers!
Thanks Dude! Appreciate it!
Thanks for taking along this ol man.
It was like I was there with ya'll.
I've been watching this channel for years now. By far some of the best hunting videos on RUclips.
Thanks man! Appreciate it
I LOVE the video! Awesome story! "Who doesn't get drunk at deer camp" will forever by one of my favorite lines.
Thanks Heath! Good luck this season 🤘🏼
Been there brother !!! Up until 3 years ago I wounded and never found my 2 what would’ve been my biggest bucks in the same season . One in KY and one in KS . Bow huntings hard AF but that’s why we do it !! Great vid boys! Just subbed!!!
The unbridled joy when you guys started laughing was hilarious and awesome hahaha
Haha
I don’t leave comments…But ya’lls videos are put together flawlessly. Love the passion that’s put into these videos! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man!
This is so cool. Raw and real deer hunting on public land. Great job guys.
Thank you!
Hell yeah!!! Best vid ever. No cuts like these big outfits, true friends true memories. Iowa is my dream to hunt. I live in maine, those big boys r rare to see. Congrats bud!!!
Yes he's back .
Swear I’ve watched this video 12 times. Love the drive of these dudes. This is my first year bow hunting public. This video and channel really helped me to step out of my comfort zone and be aggressive. I’ve got 2 bucks in after now and 1 bear in two weeks! All on public. Thanks fellas.
What an awesome buck!! Did you notice this one is different than the other giant you shot over. He had a bladed left G2 with a sticker and right G2 with a good sized sticker but no forked G2 like the one you harvested. Must have been a gene pool of stickered bucks in that area of Iowa.
If this is not the most REAL life footage of public land hunting. Unbelievable story and videography 🤘. Makes a guy want to get up at 3AM and dive deep into public access land wherever it is available! Congrats Sky! Way to keep it on the target Curtis through the shot…. NOT easy during high adrenaline!
Thanks Beasel you're the man!
August 6 today. This video has got me pumped for the upcoming season. Great video, congrats. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Im on a binge now.
Thank you!!
Awesome video ,I felt your pain when you missed, and congratulations on getting your deer
Thank you!!
Wow, that will get you up at 5am! thanks for the otherworldly effort.
Thank you!
Congratulations Skylar. And thank you for serving our country. 👍🏻
This is the greatest self filimed public hunt with two buds EVER... hell ya dudes!
Thanks Ted 🤘🏼🙏🏻
@@behindthebow absolutely 💯 We got a few slick spots in MN, if you wanna join the party. Lemme know
Love that you got the shakes
“Holy shnickeys dude” at the end walking up to that big buck. Gives me chills dude. Great video gentlemen and even better adventure. Cheers.
Thank you!
Congratulations man on a great buck of a lifetime! I can honestly say that is in the top 3 most beautiful bucks I’ve ever seen!
Seriously the best channel on RUclips! You guys are freaking awesome!
No idea why but skylar with the buck on his back hit me hard. Such an awesome animal we chase .
Real hunters in my book. Much appreciated!
Thats a tank an was an awesome hunt good work

best hunting doc I have seen in prolly 2 years! glad to have you back!
Thanks man!
I love French Toast! Welcome back Gents! Let's FKING GOOOOOO!
This is 1 of the BEST hunting videos I have EVER seen. Absolutely amazing I felt like I was there and involved through the whole thing the disappointment of missing, the suspense of what's coming next, and the pure joy of the harvest. Incredible!
Thank you!
How you guys capture the emotion and connection of hunting is truly amazing. This is what hunting and conservation needs, its more than a score, its about the connection you gain with the animal. You guys did that and much more! Thank you!
Thanks Joseph, couldn't agree more! Goodluck this fall!
This video should win an award! You guys capture some awesome footage in the deer woods. And sometimes it happens just like it did at the end. You are sitting there and all of a sudden a stud buck shows up out of nowhere. Great shot on an awesome buck!
Thank you! Love how things can change in a matter of seconds!
One of the better hunts I’ve watched filmed on FB. Perfect frame. Perfect shot. Good job guys
Thanks!
Awesome stuff guys. The wait was worth it!!
Man there is only one way to get pumped up for deer season and thats by watching the behindthebow boys. Goodluck this year fellas in the deer woods & stay safe out there as well.
Also it would be much appreciated if I could find out what the music instrumental is playing at the end of the video please and thanks!
What a unit! You fellas got into the good stuff. Thanks for coming back

Thank you!
You guys flipping out in the tree was awesome, nice work!
Amazing what a big buck can do to a guy lol
Best line ever we ain’t fake and shit on RUclips💪👍💪
Getting a dip in the woods on a cold morning is like getting a dip after a fat steak dinner! Pull a can of snuff out of the freezer and get one !!! Best dip ever!! Keep slamming em boys!!
Just want to say THANK YOU for not saying screw the camera! That was a good video! Worth the watch. Congrats to both of you on a beautiful buck! Good stuff!
Thank you!
Epic video great job fellas
There is no better hunting show on the planet that's all there is to it!
Appreciate that Josh!
Congratulations dude. You gotta be pumped. This video was what video’s should be. Enjoyable to listen and watch. Stay safe and I’m sure there more for ya.
Awesome video! I hope Curtis was able to fill his tag so we can see another great video. Nothing like IOWA! Congratulations.
Got 6 more coming!
Sweet sweet redemption. Congrats fellas and great work! That's what it's all about. Let's pass it down.

Thank you!
Guys!!! Curtis, Skylar!!! Dude absolute Home run on this one, keep this coming and hoping to see more soon.
Thanks man appreciate it!
You guys have something special with this channel.
Oh man I am so glad to see Behind The Bow, is back with another episode. Just some of the most epic hunts that I have ever seen, congratulations Curtis, and Skylar. Can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you’! Lots more coming!
Curtis, I listened to your podcast you recently were a guest on and it was great. Listening to your challenges you faced as a man and grabbing the blessing that God has put in you. You are a 1%’r bud. Not letting fear of the unknown hinder your journey. I to have lived this way after losing someone close to me, it changed me for life and for the better. Failing makes you grow and learn faster and testing your mind and body, going ALL IN, there are few words to explain it. Way beyond chasing deer, testing yourself constantly and taking big shots! Keep it up…… Your Uncle Scott is smiling down bud, I promise you he is…….
Thanks for the comment Robert, I appreciate it. I know he's looking down too. Best of luck this season!
Great video, one of the best ever thanks and congratulations on your dream buck!!!
Thanks Mike!
Man am I glad to see you guys again!Realistic, real world hunting. You guys do an outstanding job showing the highs and the lows of our favorite pass time. Awesome content! Awesome buck! Congratulations!
IM PUMPED UP!
Thanks man, really appreciate it! Good luck this fall!
Hands down one of the best hunting videos I have ever watched. So pumped that you guys are back at it
Thank you!
One of my favorite hunting videos that i've seen in a really long time. So glad that you guys are back and making videos again. Keep it up guys! - Fellow Wisconsin public land hunter
Your guys videos just hit different. Thanks fellas. Always worth the wait!
Thank you !
Got to say just started this video but glad to see y’all putting out a new one.
I've never really felt the need to comment on a hunting video before, but it appears everyone else has the same thoughts I do. What an awesome freakin video guys! Gave me the jitters the whole time. Amazing public land and two good bro's just hunting monsters. That's what it's all about! Honestly, to me it seems like the guys on the big channels (not all of them, but plenty) that are constantly harvesting 200+ inch bucks, just do it for the views and don't even show true excitement and emotion of what hunting whitetail bucks really brings out in a person. Incredible footage gentleman, and congrats on the buck, what a brute! Good luck this year, and keep the videos coming!
Thanks Mitch, appreciate the message. In my opinion the hunting industry and TV shows have lost sight of many things. We are striving to bring what we feel is important back into the light.
Man, so glad you guys brought out more content. One of my favorite channels by far, congrats on a stud, best of luck this 2022 season.
Thanks Ryan, got a lot more coming! Good luck this season
For real... all the people saying this is one of the best deer hunting videos on the internet: they're right. That was unbeatable. Got me so fired up. I'm off of work from 10/31 - 11/18, hunting in OH and PA, and the stuff in this video is what my dreams are made of. Great work, gentlemen and congrats on a killer buck
Thank you! Best of luck on your long but not long enough hunting vacation. Let’s go! 🤘🏼🦌
One of the best hunts I've ever watched! It was the few seconds after the shot for me! You guys lost it....... and I love it!!
Thanks man! Appreciate it! 🙏🏻🤘🏼
This is probably my 10th time watching this lol. Never gets old boys!
hard to watch you miss those 2 , but that third,,,,,,, it was well worth the misses, great job and team work!
Thank you!
That was fu-kin wild what an Adrenaline rush😅😅 That video.
Was like I was in the tree with you, unbelievable.what a Magnum.lmfao😅😅😅
Fantastic buck and great job telling the story. Killer footage too!
Thank you!
You guys are the kind of ethical outdoorsman we need keep it up boys y’all ate doing great!
Thanks Jordan!
Ethical? 50 yard shot in tall crp yup ethical !
Great stuff right there! Thanks
So glad you’re creating and posting again. Love your vids - Nice work!
Thank you!
Nothing but a huge buck will make grown men sound like a couple little girls. Great hunt and video.
Ha! You ain’t wrong there.
Awesome video. Very real life. Anyone that's into what you do understands the up and downs. Beautiful deer
Thank you!
Worth the wait! Best part was "I look back at you, and you're like I don't know".... "puttin my dip in"
Haha! Thanks man!
Well fellas that’s about as real and raw a video as I’ve ever seen. Loved every single second of it. And I gotta say, firing in a lip full of Bobby Stokers to start off a hunt has never done me wrong! Congrats!
Thanks dude! 😂🤘🏼
@skeemask Skylar literally shot the hammer at 5 feet😂
Curtis/Skylar- there will always be these types out there. What this film shows is the real HIGHS and LOWS of hunting big buck with the stick and string. Awesome showcase of emotions and how well you responded to the adversity. No quit in you guys and you capitalized. Congratulations on an Iowa Hammer🤘🏻
Congratulations on the buck! Excellent job retelling the story boys
Thanks John!
Great to see you back boys!!!
I am so glad you are back man. I’ve missed this. Always feel like I’m there on the hunt with you. Behind the bow needs their own dvd series!! I thought Heartland Bowhunter was the best until I found this channel.
Thanks man! Early Heartland Bowhunter inspired me!
Another awesome video and I'm so glad to see you both back out there together! Your videography and your ability to put all of those long hours into a great story are why I love watching your films. The hundreds of comments below from real hunters all say the same thing "Damn dudes, we're so glad you're back out there making videos again!!" Keep'em coming boys!
Thank you sir, we appreciate it!
These videos are always worth the wait!
