Been following Catman since 2015 or 2016. Very much one of the most underrated channels on RUclips. The dude is a straight killer and great woodsmen. Congrats !!
"Subscriber Count is heading north by about 1k a week, Jim. We are anticipating Catman to reach 100k by the end of this deer season, barring any viral videos taking over. Back to you Larry." "I can not rightly tell, but I do believe that Catman does not pay much heed to subscriber counts. What I do know is that he just wants to hunt."
@JimRyser Jim you have a lot of friends in HIGH places. ( THP , Catman, Bill Winke ) time for some of them to pay you back for all the good tunes. By the way nice podcast with Zach. Your the man. Congratulations again. Don't leave us in suspense.
Beautiful buck been watching you for two years you a heck of a deer hunter though I subscribed before but now I am this 70 year old grandpa use to do them hunts can't take the cold anymore with that blood thinner in me I love your shows good job from down on the bayou of South Louisiana tks man catch you on the next one may God bless you and family.
Have to say one of my favorite sayings from you is “this is the tree for me”! Great hunt CatMan! Enjoy the way that you show and explain the follow up on the dissected body.
First video I've watched and I have to say that it's good to see such an elaborate job from someone that's not completely supported by big outfits and sponsors. Great job explaining and taking everything in stride man. The good and the bad. It's what makes us human. 💯
My gosh you must be in great shape you held that string a long time. You by far have a best eye for self filming, never boring congratulations on a nice Buck!!!
And he is very knowledgeable. I can tell he takes notes. At the end of the video he said we are about two weeks out from peak breeding season. I would never remember to take notes on stuff like this with out watching catman. It helps to note the weather, moon phases, rut activity, and food crops like acorn productivity. This way after several years you will have info to come back to and put all together and figure out when the rut in each area you are hunting is going to come in.
Fell asleep watching this when you first posted; because I had just returned from a week in the woods. Finally got enough sleep to watch you take this nice buck. Congratulations! So far I’ve gotten three donated through Hunters For The Hungry. A shout out to all the processors who make it possible for local food pantries to get venison to families needing protein! And to CATMAN for inspiring hunters to take to the woods and to be generous with their harvests.
The analysis was spot on. I don't think I will ever use a mechanical, but I understand the reasoning especially after seeing how devastating that can be on a pass through. Just got turned on to this channel and I already love it. Happy hunting.
We all do it if we hunt much , it's supposed to be exciting and that makes us take shots sometimes we regret , but u found him it worked , congrats catman
That grunt and rattle sequence i loved. Exactly how i do it. I see sooo many people grunting like a T-Rex or a daggum grizzly bear!! Now their are bucks that sound like that but not in my Florida woods
Excellent video. Remember that deer only have one chest cavity, so that if you puncture in one place, both lungs will go down. Hitting the heart and either one or two lungs causes more devastating blood loss. However, no deer can go too far with a hole anywhere in the chest cavity! Once last comment. The formula for energy for shooting an arrow is Energy = 1/2 the mass of the arrow TIMES the velocity squared. Mass, or weight, has less to do with the energy than the velocity, since that term is squared. Needless to say, the faster arrow also shoots flatter.
Deer actually have a membrane separating the left and right lungs called a pleura. A single lung shot deer can run a lot farther and is more likely to survive than a double lung shot deer.
Hey buddy congratulations thats a fine buck but what I loved most about your hunt is when you gave thanks to the Lord for you finding it. God Bless and keep up the good work.
you shared your arrow/ bow specs at the perfect time. I shoot the same draw weight/ length but last Wednesday shot a doe with only 7 inches of penetration. I was shooting 400 spine with 100g head and just a standard insert. I'm not super knowledgeable on arrow tuning, but you have me an idea on where to start! Congrats on the deer, and keep up the awesome content!
Cat man that is the best video I’ve seen on a great buck. I know it was a quick one but love that you showed the shot placement after the hunt while you were working up the deer. Great buck keep on keeping on!
I'm glad how you are honest about not taking the best shot angle, but glad it worked out. Those are the kinds of things that help other hunters learn. Nice job catman!
I've been waiting to see the video since I saw the instagram post. Congratulations. It is remarkable you do can shoot a buck like this AND self film. Keep it up.
Good job Johnny! Love swhacker's I shoot 100gr , 2" cut model. This season I switched to a 150gr crimson talon croc, just to see how it performed on hard shot angles. Both deer I shot were very tough angles and the head did great, neither went further than 40yds with complete pass throughs, even on a frontal shot! Thanks for another great video.
That was awesome congrats on the buck! The time you were at full and staying steady was impressive I've never had to hold my draw that long yet and impressive with your steadiness
That is a nice looking buck. Very cool video, and I can't wait for the next one. Keep the content coming, and it looks like 100k subs is in the very near future. It will be a well deserved accomplishment.🎉
This is a really fine video, Jonathan, in every respect. As you noted, this was a truly beautiful buck; congratulations. I really appreciated the "dissection" of your shoulder shot and your detailed discussion of broadhead design and performance. Interesting, useful information, as always. Thanks, Chris (in Maine)
Catman and seek one 2 of my top hunting channels I watch love the content catman keep it up brotha love watching you hunt for the thrill congrats on the beautiful buck.
Great job my friend on a nice buck The explanation afterwards is very helpful for a lot of hunters! The rut is starting to get pretty hot here in Central New York Good luck to all For A successful season
That's a Beautiful Deer! Congratulations! I'm so glad your broadhead didn't fail with having to do such hard work. It's hard not to get caught up in the adrenaline flow when the animal takes so long to get where you need. Besides the fact that he's already so close you're almost scared he's going to hear your heart beating. Wonderful job!!! 💯 😊
My crossbow bolts are 650gr, 30% foc, with the same #269 schwacker up front, moving at 270fps out of my setup and i’ve blown through both shoulderblades on deer with it at 20yd. I slice into both ball joints on a regular basis as well.
❤️ love your videos. By me watching you i bought me some Swhacker broadheads killed a buck the next day. He did run 15 yards and dropped. Thanks for the free information
No matter what broadhead you are using you Absolutely have to have complete confidence in you're equipment. Catman has done the testing on many deer and he knows exactly what that broad head will do. Nice pretty 8pt. Catman, you smoked that buck!!
Awesome footage of the hunt and break down afterwards. I did the opposite. of what you did this morning. nice buck I've been watching all year came by my stand, took my time waiting on that one leg to step forward. I waited too long to shoot 6 times till it walked off all together. I had the time but blew it waiting for the perfect shot. I hope my neighbor a half mile down the road doesn't get him before I do. Praying for another chance. Subscribed.
Schwackers are some of the best broadheads I've ever used. They usually shoot great, and the practice head they give you is awesome, as you get the same flight without havjng to ruin a new set of blades.
Been using the swhaker 125 gr for years. I looked at alot of options before going to this broadhead. Just makes sense. Blades stay virgin sharp because they open inside the deer. Many of the mechanicals are under scrutiny for breaking blades and poor penetration...for good reason. The swhaker eliminates slot these concerns by its unique operation. Ive shot 11 deer with these with an occasional bent blade but never broke one while shooting 498 gr arrow @403 fps from a scorpyd crossbow. Ive actually cut vertebrae 1/2" to 3/4" deep on two occasions and nearly severed the leg bone on exit of a big bodied buck resulting in a bent blades but not broken. I won't use anything else.
Great hunt, glad you got a decent buck already. Really hope you get a monster buck this year, really enjoy your videos. I'm finally getting some time off and will be hunting for the first time this season in about 2 weeks, can't wait. Hope everyone has a safe and blessed season.
Been following Catman since 2015 or 2016. Very much one of the most underrated channels on RUclips. The dude is a straight killer and great woodsmen. Congrats !!
Totally agree. He is very cool to follow!
Yep I agree as well. As real as it gets. And yes...a straight Killa!!
Explanation after the shot and dissection were top notch Catman. Thoroughly enjoy all your content.
"Subscriber Count is heading north by about 1k a week, Jim. We are anticipating Catman to reach 100k by the end of this deer season, barring any viral videos taking over. Back to you Larry."
"I can not rightly tell, but I do believe that Catman does not pay much heed to subscriber counts. What I do know is that he just wants to hunt."
He should been well past 250k a couple yrs ago he is legit as it gets
He’s the one that inspired me to start content creating. Him and THP
@@JimRyserJim let's see your buck....Bill Winke mentioned you got a tank. Congrats
@JimRyser Jim you have a lot of friends in HIGH places. ( THP , Catman, Bill Winke ) time for some of them to pay you back for all the good tunes. By the way nice podcast with Zach. Your the man. Congratulations again. Don't leave us in suspense.
@JimRyser Jim you have a great story of life. Thank you for sharing with us through Zach. We are all blessed, some just haven't figured that out yet 🙏
The realest hunting channel out there, can’t wait for more Catman!!
Great hunt man. Love your authentic approach. Way to hang in there. That was a long time at full draw.
Beautiful buck been watching you for two years you a heck of a deer hunter though I subscribed before but now I am this 70 year old grandpa use to do them hunts can't take the cold anymore with that blood thinner in me I love your shows good job from down on the bayou of South Louisiana tks man catch you on the next one may God bless you and family.
Have to say one of my favorite sayings from you is “this is the tree for me”! Great hunt CatMan! Enjoy the way that you show and explain the follow up on the dissected body.
Sure would sell I think! Great idea!
I’d buy one!
I’m 47 and when I grow up, I want to be like Catman. Good stuff. Thanks for the awesome content.
LOL!!
Knew that you were bound to be rewarded for all that you donate and what you do for the ones in need! Great Buck!🦌
Why it's super important to practice holding full draw for an extended period of time. Think that was 1:40 at full draw.. well done man 👏🏼
First video I've watched and I have to say that it's good to see such an elaborate job from someone that's not completely supported by big outfits and sponsors. Great job explaining and taking everything in stride man. The good and the bad. It's what makes us human. 💯

That buck's thought bubble, "I know I heard those punks grunting and wrestling right by this tree, but I don't see hide nor hair of them."
“First-timer, maybe second..great dialogue, explanations of set-up’s. I’m a trad dude, but enjoy your video and humble/real presentation. Thanks.

Swhacker never let me down, but I love the massive entry holes the g5 dead meat gives
Congrats, brother. It was only a matter of time. Love your dedication and tenacity. 🤠🇺🇸🍗
I am glad you went back and covered the shot placement. That was great. Congratulations on a fine buck.
The analysis was spot on. I don't think I will ever use a mechanical, but I understand the reasoning especially after seeing how devastating that can be on a pass through. Just got turned on to this channel and I already love it. Happy hunting.
Thank you for you taking us along on your hunting CM. I like your genuine, teaching-oriented style. A blessed hunt!
How you could remain so calm after that buck got shot, is beyond me! Awesome video!
We all do it if we hunt much , it's supposed to be exciting and that makes us take shots sometimes we regret , but u found him it worked , congrats catman

That was one of your better bucks. He should be on the wall by now. Good luck this 2024 season.
Hey buddy congratulations thats a fine buck but what I loved most about your hunt is when you gave thanks to the Lord for you finding it. God Bless and keep up the good work.
I don't care what anyone says I love swhacker broadheads. Catman your videos are always great keep it up bud.
Such a great hunter. I can’t remember the last time I saw him shoot a deer past 15 yards lol. They’re always up close.
you shared your arrow/ bow specs at the perfect time. I shoot the same draw weight/ length but last Wednesday shot a doe with only 7 inches of penetration. I was shooting 400 spine with 100g head and just a standard insert. I'm not super knowledgeable on arrow tuning, but you have me an idea on where to start! Congrats on the deer, and keep up the awesome content!
Nice buck! You did what 80% of bowhunters would have done. You shot at your best first opportunity. Congrats! Thanks for the entertaining video!
When they kick after the shot it's usually a good sign ... Beautiful Buck.
And still the best hunting channel on U tube!
Congratulations cat man on a mature whitetail buck
Thanks for the video I like how you don’t over celebrate when you get a good deer
Cat man that is the best video I’ve seen on a great buck. I know it was a quick one but love that you showed the shot placement after the hunt while you were working up the deer. Great buck keep on keeping on!
Thank you for being the last guy on RUclips that doesn’t insist you need a 1,000gr arrow and single bevel broadheads to kill a deer!😂 Good video
Nice buck..it's for sure the swacker did its job. Now give us some more exciting videos.🎉🎉
This is the best hunting channel on the toob.
Nice buck and cool breakdown of the shot/broadhead performance. He ran toward the truck, it doesn't get any better 😅
Well done Catman! Appreciate the ‘dissection’ talk-through - informative!
I'm glad how you are honest about not taking the best shot angle, but glad it worked out. Those are the kinds of things that help other hunters learn. Nice job catman!
Thanks for taking the time to show the actual damage the broadhead did, and I'm with you a firm believer in Swacker mechanical broadhead. 👍👍
Good buck! Thanks for showing us everything no matter what happens. Times like that is when good equipment really pay’s itself forward.
Great hunt glad you nailed that fine buck, you’re a good woodsman. I enjoy watching your videos. Always an ethical hunter. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Catman on the awesome buck.
I see I'm not alone in my dedication to Bear bows. Good hunt!
You held that bow back forever aint know way I could have done that congrats!!!👍🏻👍🏻
I've been waiting to see the video since I saw the instagram post. Congratulations. It is remarkable you do can shoot a buck like this AND self film. Keep it up.

Nice buck on public. I love your straightforward honest approach to bowhunting. Thanks for the work you put into making great videos. From west TN
Full draw for a minute and a half is crazy . Great video man! I started using swacker and haven't turned back. Very good success with them.
That was awesome congrats on the buck! The time you were at full and staying steady was impressive I've never had to hold my draw that long yet and impressive with your steadiness
That is a nice looking buck. Very cool video, and I can't wait for the next one. Keep the content coming, and it looks like 100k subs is in the very near future. It will be a well deserved accomplishment.🎉
I was thinking right before you shot that I'd probably take that shot myself. Great content as always.
Great video. Like how you showed the shot on the shoulder. Keep whacking and stacking
Damn bro thats a hell of a nice buck. Big congrats. He had one if the prettiest hides ive ever seen on a deer. That one would be well worth tannin.
That all I use is swacker!! You will find your deer and have a good trail to follow.
So glad i found your channel years ago man. I'd like to meet you one day. Great content, I've learned alot.
This is a really fine video, Jonathan, in every respect. As you noted, this was a truly beautiful buck; congratulations. I really appreciated the "dissection" of your shoulder shot and your detailed discussion of broadhead design and performance. Interesting, useful information, as always. Thanks, Chris (in Maine)

Nice deer cat man. Everyone is getting a good deer.
Congrats! He made you hold pose for a while.
