Thanks for this video. I am a 75 year old resident PA deer hunter who can no longer hunt because of a stroke in 2014. I can live again thru your efforts of filming and the hunt. I miss it dearly! God Bless you and your crew for showing off my PA Outdoors! Lt Col Doug Robison, USAF Ret/ Capt. UAL Ret.
My favorite deer hunting vids. Real hunters who really love what they do, going after regular bucks that don't have names and four year photo histories.
ditto x10....no feeders or fences, no pet deer with names I've done my share of public land hunting...you gotta work to kill deer consistently literally anyone can shoot a deer over bait
Love these show, but spare me the BS. Just because some of us don’t hunt like these guys, doesn’t mean we’re less passionate about hunting. I hunt private land and work my ass off for every buck I have. Matter of fact, all of the bucks I have wasn’t even taken anywhere near the feeders. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. So get your noses out from the clouds. You’re not better than me as a hunter because “you put more work in”. I work my ass off for every deer I’ve taken and I do it all legally and ethically, with low or no fences.
@@carlosopinion5629 Unless you have a large piece of private land where your bucks live most of their life, and you have four year histories and names for all the Boone & Crockett bucks on your property, this comment wasn't aimed at you. Think we've all seen the shows and know what I'm referring to.
@@JK-cv9jf Fair enough. And yes, I know exactly what you’re referring to and I do agree on a lot of levels. But even high fence has there place. Simply put, I don’t judge other hunters on where and how they hunt. I’m sure everyone has their reasons. And it’s not my place to criticize or belittle another hunter because I don’t feel like he’s worthy. My only requirement is that you do it legally and ethically. And if you pass down our values to the younger generation, all the better. But at the end of the day, we all share the same passion for these animals and the outdoors. It just pains me when I see certain negative comments from the community. This crap happens in the gun community too. You’ll always have a group of folks that think they’re better than everyone else. Just sayin’....
@@carlosopinion5629 We hunt 600 acres, have many cameras and food plots. I still get shut out on decent bucks some years even though I'm a fanatical hunter. But the few times I've ventured into heavily hunted public land, I've had a hard time even finding deer, much less finding a nice buck. Any one who hunts ethically is OK in my book, but a hunter who can consistently find shooter bucks on public land is a step above my level. Kind of like a weekend golfer can admire Dustin Johnson's game while still enjoying regular golf.
It's been fun watching the different hunting styles. Jeff Sturgis setting up shop by a clear cut. The Beasty Boy's perched up over fresh sign and Zach running around as usual. All different and all effective!
I just wanted to say Thank you to the Hunting public family. I’m 24 years old and I haven’t had a Dad, Uncle or Grandfather to teach me anything about hunting. So I’m teaching myself, with the help of your great videos and advice. Along with my states hunter education and regulation system I will be well equipped to get in the woods. I want to make sure I’m doing this Smart, Safe and Stealthy so I can bring home some meat. Thank you guys again for all the awesome content!
Im 28 and in the same boat. Nailed my big PA 8 pointer this year with the help of you guys and some of my close friends. Thanks THP, for your awesome content!
I at least had a friend and videos help me with learning what to do. Took a while before I took my first deer. Was 2 doe's. The next I took my 1st buck. 11 points dressed out at 170. We learn about things every time we go hunting.👍
Oh, 1more thing, I have squirrel, rabbit, from an early age. Didn't start Deer or Turkey til I was 31. 1reason, the population of Deer and Turkey was always very low for a long time til F&WL started a repopulation program. Took 5yrs before they allowed hunting. Now they're everywhere.👍🙂
"Remember that its about the experience not the size of buck" glad to see zach pull off another ground hunt they always are exciting to watch. Thanks for coming to PA.
Zach is literally a fountain of knowledge to someone learning to hunt on the ground without a stand or blind. People don’t realize how hard it is to hunt from the ground, much less with a bow.
It's not thing to hunt on the ground. Its another thing to still hunt. Never being in one spot. Moving with the wind, you have to be very self aware and in tune with he world around you
Was very impressed with the way Joe responded to the duck hunter walking through his set. It was very smart to ask the duck hunter to walk back a different route. Then he moved his setup.
I believe years from now we are going to be talking about Zach, Aaron and the hunting public like Chuck Adam's and Fred Bear. We are watching living legends! Its an honor
Zach and Ted are cool dudes! I’ve learned so much from just watching you guys hunt. Thank you so much for honest, helpful content. You guys are very intentional with showing every part of the hunt. Not just the kill shots and advertisements. I didn’t have a mentor growing up to show me the ropes, and I’ve started so late now that it’s had to try and catch up, but with content creators like you guys, I feel like I have a fighting chance. I’m Very passionate about hunting and it’s nice to see the passion and care you guys produce. Thanks again!
I'm in the same boat, didn't have a mentor and made tons of rookie mistakes early on. I've shot several deer, only while "still hunting" like Zach does. Haven't gotten one from a tree stand yet, but plenty of people do. These RUclips videos that show the process are super helpful, and I learn so much every time I watch one.
4:06 I love that he has like 4 stripes of camo paint on while wearing the most colorful gloves he could find. None of his camo matches patterns, and half of it doesn't even match his surroundings. Yet this dude has put down more game than damn near all the commenters combined.
Way to go guys! I admire your appreciation for a swift ending but sometimes it take a moment of humbling to really showcase the reality and willingness to want to do better. You guys are the best out there, keep up the great work.
Congratulations to Joe and Zach on their PA bucks. I like these Public Land Challenge collabs where we get to see and learn different styles and see them be successful. I thought that guy was pheasant or grouse hunting, but here he was jumping puddle ducks. Way to adapt and overcome that situation. I hunt from the ground since we don't own much property and I like being down there with them, I want a tree saddle eventually for certain situations. But mostly from the ground. I am glad that deer was recovered, very rare to see one get shot full frontal. Thanks for sharing.
I was very excited to see you all come to PA to hunt. I've been hunting PA for 30 years as a native. I would've loved to meet the crew. The real, honest content of your videos has me hooked. Can't wait for the next one. Congrats to Zach and Joe!!
Zach's little speech about keeping the meat and not letting anything go to waste is why I love this channel so much and recommend it to everyone. Keep up the good work!
Now that is what I am talking about, once I knew you guys were going to pa you wouldn’t be disappointed! That is a great buck congrats to Zach and joe, my grandpas buddy just shot a big 15 point in tioga county, I don’t know where you guys are but it looks like great country, congrats again to you guys
The hunting in PA has gotten so much better over the past 4 years or so. The amount of big bucks I have gotten on camera over those years has greatly improved. I've gone from getting 8 points as my big bucks on camera to it not being uncommon to get big 12s on camera. Last year I got about 3 or 4 10s and 2 or 3 12s. Pa is quickly becoming a big buck state with thousands of acres of public land
One of the coolest videos to date! The footage, regardless of kill or not, was freaking awesome! Then to throw in the Beast footage at the end was phenomenal way to end the challenge! Great stuff as always
Maybe the same way you just questioned him. SMH he didn't say Zach did anything wrong. Sounded more like he does things a little different but gave Zach props for the way he does it. I know I'm basically coming at you for coming at the original comment but why would you call this guy out? If I've read the situation wrong then my bad
I promise Pa is getting better and better potential. I see multiple big big bucks on camera every year. Right now have a main frame 8 that’s really nice with a kicker off his g2. Praying he sticks around. Also have a big 8 with the beams touching.
This is my third year hunting. I've yet to get a deer but after watching several videos and subscribing. Your guys "grunt/rustle" method got me to call in a buck yesterday. It was the first deer i ever had come into a call so it really boosted my confidence. I've learned a lot in the past few weeks just by watching the channel.
@@kylevernon2001 hes talking about the snort wheeze buck. The mature bucks look small there. Probably good eating and easy to lug out, and plenty of them. I'd love to hunt there someday
Ted was a few steps away from being shiskabobbed! Congrats Joe and Zach! Never seen an 8 pointer like that without brows. Joe with the threepeat! Stone cold killer! I wish the PLC wasn't over, but luckily I'm just a few days away from having another buck tag, so I'll be back out myself. Great job to everyone involved! Thanks for the vids!
I subbed to y’all a few weeks ago. I was feeling a bit discouraged about hunting on public land. Y’all have inspired me and gave me confidence. Public land is tough but you guys prove that there are big bucks and that with hard work and steadfastness I too can bag a big buck! Thank you!
Zach is a straight up Ninja Assassin! Consistently taking these big bucks on the ground is such a high level of woodmanship! My hats off to all you guys! Just damn! 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥 straight up bunchin Mfr's in the mouth 👊🏻
Thanks for another excellent public land challenge. I appreciate you guys coming out to PA and giving it a shot. Come on back soon! Zach and Joe congrats on the bucks and best if luck for the rest of the season!
That is one of the coolest deer hunting sequences I have seen! Well done Shot placement wasn't bad, sometimes they just don't die as fast as we would like.
I've been hunting PA public for 22 years and got my first buck last year in rifle after loosing a nice one during archery, I watched this video and Zach's hunt and his tactics lit a fire under my ass, by the way congrats on the nice 8 point, this was my 2nd year archery hunting and on Halloween I bagged myself my first archery harvest a 7 point brute from 7 yards away, biggest one anyone in my family has harvested, and it played out much like this hunt when I watched Zach's shot I thought man I cant imagine the rush it would be to take such a close shot and days later I found out and I still cant believe it.....the playbook I grew up with is no more and the game has forever changed thanks to The Hunting Public and a special Thanks to Zach seeing your hunt pay off gave me the confidence I needed to get aggressive on the hunt, try something new and it paid off big for me, hope this is a turning point in my hunting career and there are many more to come.
Finally. Went today and had a coyote came right to where I pissed out of the stand and shot him he weighs 49lbs. Nothing else happened but hey got me another coyote
Congrats! I have absolutely NO problem with people shooting coyotes, but I no longer do it. I've read that it doesn't have any positive effect on the population, and for some reason I've developed a real appreciation for these amazing animals. And they're beautiful, too. But if you enjoy it, go for it!
@@jakemitchell1671 I’ve always believed if there’s a coyote in the area you shoot it even if you’re using a firearm. If yotes are around deer will not be.
I'm not sure there is anyone else out there, that has a ground game like Zach.. By far my favorite dude in this THP crew. My very first THP video ever watched, was Zach doing the Ghillie Suit hunt from the ground and I've been hooked ever since. I'm not remotely close to being as successful as Zach has been in the ground game, but I've learned so much from him thru these videos. He might downplay his abilities, but for me - this guy is by far, my favorite, real bowhunting dude. There's NOBODY like him in today's game - NONE! Peace Zach and the THP crew. Keep doing it - this channel is the best on the internet, bar none!
Just finished editing a video of my own, nothing on tv, just wanted to relax, then saw this upload, thumbnail, and title.......... THANK GOD FOR THE HUNTING PUBLIC!!!!!! THIS MADE MY NIGHT ! ps..... nice 8 come by me today
Would love to hunt with these guys. I would definitely learn alot from them. Shout out to Mindy she takes good care of them and isn't afraid to go out on the track job.
I hunt 2b across the street from where I live and this year got my first 10pt 24in wide. Oct 21st. Took 5 weeks or so to close the distance. Pa is good hunting.
Its nice to see you guys hunting PA. I’ve been going there from Maine for archery season the past 25 years. When a biologist worked to change to antler restrictions many years ago people almost ran him out of the state. Now he’s a hero with some great bucks available and fewer button bucks being killed. In the right circumstances; restrictions work. Great public land available and I’m fortunate to have several landowners give me the privilege to hunt their property.
U all have the best videos! My family hunts Pa public lands and this is the most challenging type of deer hunting due to the pressure. You have down to earth, REAL videos. This is the kind of hunting the average hunter does. Thanks for sharing and keep making them.
What a great series, love this public land challenge every year! You guys rock. A vid almost every day! Insane. Just a thought: Zach and Aaron are slayers. Can’t understate their experience and confidence to get it done. Looking forward to seeing content from Ted Miller and Greg!
"U see all that pressure?" Those are your fans( talking to thp) I'm willing to guess a very large percentage of your subs come from people in pa. It would actually be a pretty smart business decision to come back to pa every year...
Josh I have to say that I have not been the biggest fan of your hunting style, but as far as your desire to hunt you have my deep respect in your pure push to hunt. I have always believed that desire coupled with Woodsmanship will put a lot of big deer in front of a hunter. You my friend are a pure hunter and I will look forward each week to your next adventure in the whitetail woods. Congrats on a great Pa buck!!!
Zach, When you’re hunting on the ground like that how are you staying comfortable? Are you using a chair sitting on your butt on your knees? I’ve sat on the ground before like that as well but can’t seem to stay comfortable for long unless I sit down on my butt but then if a deer is coming I think I’m just gonna get busted been to my knees to take a shot. What do you do do you have any advice?
Zach, don't feel too bad buddy. Low light conditions and face to face with big buck confrontation can turn crazy quick. You made a solid shot and were genuinely concerned for the deer. Don't beat yourself up. Congrats on another good one man.
@@tycewisnewski3365 No not at all! I had made that comment before I watched the rest of the video. Zach’s shot honestly was not bad and even so, that’s a part of bowhunting
This one's gonna be long winded. I watch these videos because you guys are awesome. Honestly I watch you guys because what you do is real life, you gotta go in to a new place and start from scratch. Zach is inspirational, he's always so positive and upbeat no matter what. I feel what you felt looking for this deer Zach. Not the "oh no I might lose a nice buck" but that sick feeling, sick in your soul knowing that because of something you did the animal is gonna spend it's last hours scared and in agony. That feeling is unexplainable, only understood by those who have been in that situation. Great job Zach, keep being you man, you are just a epic dude.
Thank you Greg and the others editing so hard. You guys are awesome. Videos that were filmed only a few days ago, and almost every day uploads. I certainly appreciate the content.
This deer Zach killed reminds me of the last deer I killed with a bow several years ago. I got one lung and the liver. I found him in a skidder rut, still alive but unable to get up. He just looked at me. I backed up and sat for over an hour while he died because I had nothing to finish him with. Eventually, he let out a bellow like I have never heard and thrashed around for about 10 seconds. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I just didn’t want to bow hunt anymore. In fact, I just stopped deer hunting for several years. I still hunted turkeys, but I just didn’t care for that feeling I got from that incident. It eventually passed a few years ago.
Rifle hunt is the best way to hunt deer, the biggest buck I ever shot was with a bow and I never did find it so I quit bow hunting, every one I shot with a rifle has always died on spot.
Oklahoma is not a hard state. It’s an absolute blast to hunt. Hope you guys come here and take some giants! I’d gladly point you in the right direction!
I wish I had hunting buddies like you guys!! That’s something to cherish, good friends don’t come around to often! Much respect from a Michigan hunter!!
Congrats on a nice PA buck. Ive hunted Pa for 20 years now and that is a real nice PA buck. We do have bigger bucks and since the restrictions were put in place, we do see better bucks but not every piece or farm will have big bucks on them. They are around tho. And speaking of the pressure on public land. Hunter numbers are way down in PA. You really dont see almost any hunters until the early muzzleloader season comes in, thats when most of the pressure comes in PA. I can remember 10 to 15 years ago counting 100's of cars on public land roads. Its not even close to that anymore. If you guys come back to Pa again, i would suggest coming before that early muzzleloader comes in or after it ends. I usually dont see anyone until then. Goodluck the rest of the deer tour!
Sad the buck took so long to die off. I understand that bitter feeling when you make a bad shot and you know that your deer is suffering. I wish it were easier to sneak up to them and get a better shot so they didn't have to suffer so long. But shots like that happen even to the best of us. Congrats on a successful hunt!
I would have went to follow up if it was legal but its not legal to shoot them again after legal shooting hours. Had it been daylight I would have done everything I could do to follow up and get another shot to end it faster.
Bedded buck at 20 yards!! Deer Tour 18, Ep.9 is the reason I watch THP I wish I could hunt with Zach the things I could learn from this guy. LET'S HUNT!!!!
Thanks for this video. I am a 75 year old resident PA deer hunter who can no longer hunt because of a stroke in 2014. I can live again thru your efforts of filming and the hunt. I miss it dearly!

Zach is the man!! When I set up a plan for a hunt and it's a good one I call it "the zach attack"👍👍
Never seen someone hunt the public land in PA like Zach, tough stuff he’s doing! PA native here love the videos
PA baby!
Especially farting wolf brand
Anyone know where they are?
Really is awesome stuff
Same
From PA
Only time I’m moving while hunting is when we’re putting on a drive during rifle or flintlock
"Remember that its about the experience not the size of buck" glad to see zach pull off another ground hunt they always are exciting to watch. Thanks for coming to PA.
In my "experience" the bigger the buck the better
@Frank Andrew u can eat antler. Well elk u can when they are fresh and velvet. Taste kinda like pickles.
Im sure deer are similar.
Zach is going to be a legend someday. He has the passion it takes to get there.
Agree. He’s there in my mind. Who else does what he does on the ground as consistently. I respect the shit outta his woodsmanship
Hes already up there w steve irwin lol
Hes already a legend
I agree Zack is my favorite to watch he is humble and passionate love it
Don’t they all?
Zach is literally a fountain of knowledge to someone learning to hunt on the ground without a stand or blind. People don’t realize how hard it is to hunt from the ground, much less with a bow.
It kicks your ass it takes time to learn patterns, but when you find the fresh sign slow down
It's not thing to hunt on the ground. Its another thing to still hunt. Never being in one spot. Moving with the wind, you have to be very self aware and in tune with he world around you
I think most people realize this, that’s why tree stands are so popular
Joe three years in a row. Feeling beasty!
Once again THP proves to be the best hunting channel anywhere... Nothing comes closer. Appeals to the average hunter not sitting in box blinds!!
When people ask I tell them.... Zach Ferenbaugh is my SPIRIT ANIMAL!
Hahaha
maybe he'll let you hold his beast stick

Who else liked the video before watching.
I always do because they never disappoint me best show across all networks
Oh i did lol
Nothing better than THP

The respect Zach and the THP crew show for the animal is so nice to see. You could see it genuinely hurt Zach that the deer suffered.
I just can't believe y'all! It's been such a tough four days and y'all stuck with it and GOT IT DONE!! Zach for President! Ferenbaugh/Zangerle 2024
Nothing but respect for all of you. Pleasure to share the Pa woods with you guys. Thank you for everything you do.

Zach is easily the best ground whitetail bow hunters I’ve seen. Takes some serious skill to pull off as many as he has.
Matt, maybe im abit older than you.reserch
Dan Fitzgerald or
Rodger ragglin as far as gettin down when on the ground
I was thinking the same thing before I even saw this comment
Zach's little speech about keeping the meat and not letting anything go to waste is why I love this channel so much and recommend it to everyone. Keep up the good work!
Some guy on last nights video said Zack needed to go get in a stand lol
Zach asks his fellow hunters for opinions. And i like thay humility. Its the keys to knowledge and wisdom
Now that is what I am talking about, once I knew you guys were going to pa you wouldn’t be disappointed! That is a great buck congrats to Zach and joe, my grandpas buddy just shot a big 15 point in tioga county, I don’t know where you guys are but it looks like great country, congrats again to you guys

I think I’m out of words for how successful and consistent Zach is on the ground. It’s simply unreal.
Thank you for coming here to PA!
And on today’s episode, I just clicked off a Flair video
Flair is annoying AF
same
A few of the googan channels are annoying lately. I miss the ole days
Ya flair sucks now
I don’t like that they added lojo he’s really annoying and the only one I consistently like is lfg
Sometimes I question Zach's ground hunting methods, but he usually gets it done. Good job guys!
So, how exactly can you question his tactics? He shoots more mature bucks from the ground than most guys do from a stand.
Maybe the same way you just questioned him. SMH he didn't say Zach did anything wrong. Sounded more like he does things a little different but gave Zach props for the way he does it. I know I'm basically coming at you for coming at the original comment but why would you call this guy out? If I've read the situation wrong then my bad
Yes, sometimes his tactics seem impossible, but he is very good at it and gets in close.
Have to go to bed so I can wake up early to go hunt. Looks like I'm gonna have to miss 49 minutes of sleep.
Micronaps are the key to being a successful hunter!!
I’m in the same boat. Early alarm to get in the tree in the morning. Sleep had to wait.
Same here.
I bet you thp can’t come down to the green swamp and do that
@@iswinguillen8159 haha it would be quite a shock for them. Although I think if anyone outside of Florida could figure it out, it would be those guys.
The one thing I love about these guys is the respect they have for the life of deer they shoot. Its always good to see that in other hunters.
So glad I was ChromeCasting this to my 65" TV.
Same
I promise Pa is getting better and better potential. I see multiple big big bucks on camera every year. Right now have a main frame 8 that’s really nice with a kicker off his g2. Praying he sticks around. Also have a big 8 with the beams touching.
OH SNAP ! 20:15 folks... hahah! wow - you guys seriously encourage and motivate me to step up my game, keep up the hard work its obviously paying off!
This is my third year hunting. I've yet to get a deer but after watching several videos and subscribing. Your guys "grunt/rustle" method got me to call in a buck yesterday. It was the first deer i ever had come into a call so it really boosted my confidence. I've learned a lot in the past few weeks just by watching the channel.
Classic PA buck at the end .. lots of them out there, just have to put in the effort and have the patience
No brow tines common? Great buck!
@@kylevernon2001 hes talking about the snort wheeze buck. The mature bucks look small there. Probably good eating and easy to lug out, and plenty of them. I'd love to hunt there someday
P.A. native here. Awesome to see you guys hunt in Pennsylvania!
Great job and storyline yall. Whole series is very entertaining..
Ted was a few steps away from being shiskabobbed!
Congrats Joe and Zach! Never seen an 8 pointer like that without brows.
Joe with the threepeat! Stone cold killer!
I wish the PLC wasn't over, but luckily I'm just a few days away from having another buck tag, so I'll be back out myself. Great job to everyone involved! Thanks for the vids!
I watched this video last night. Killed one almost identical to Zachs this morning
@@bowhuntingindiana Nice! Congrats!
50 minute kill video from the public land challenge?? Am I in heaven?
I'm 68 years young. You are down to earth. Love watching the hunting public. Hi Ted!
Man I’d love to hunt with you guys. Fun, passionate group of people. That’s what it’s all about
I subbed to y’all a few weeks ago. I was feeling a bit discouraged about hunting on public land. Y’all have inspired me and gave me confidence. Public land is tough but you guys prove that there are big bucks and that with hard work and steadfastness I too can bag a big buck! Thank you!
My heart jumped when it said posted 1 min ago I’m never this early
Zach is a straight up Ninja Assassin! Consistently taking these big bucks on the ground is such a high level of woodmanship! My hats off to all you guys! Just damn! 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥 straight up bunchin Mfr's in the mouth 👊🏻
Zach is a killing machine! Everywhere he goes a deer is going down!
Thanks for another excellent public land challenge. I appreciate you guys coming out to PA and giving it a shot. Come on back soon! Zach and Joe congrats on the bucks and best if luck for the rest of the season!
Just finished last episode to find this one uploaded while I was watching it...👍👍😏😏
That is one of the coolest deer hunting sequences I have seen! Well done
Shot placement wasn't bad, sometimes they just don't die as fast as we would like.
Congrats Fellas!
I've been hunting PA public for 22 years and got my first buck last year in rifle after loosing a nice one during archery, I watched this video and Zach's hunt and his tactics lit a fire under my ass, by the way congrats on the nice 8 point, this was my 2nd year archery hunting and on Halloween I bagged myself my first archery harvest a 7 point brute from 7 yards away, biggest one anyone in my family has harvested, and it played out much like this hunt when I watched Zach's shot I thought man I cant imagine the rush it would be to take such a close shot and days later I found out and I still cant believe it.....the playbook I grew up with is no more and the game has forever changed thanks to The Hunting Public and a special Thanks to Zach seeing your hunt pay off gave me the confidence I needed to get aggressive on the hunt, try something new and it paid off big for me, hope this is a turning point in my hunting career and there are many more to come.
Finally. Went today and had a coyote came right to where I pissed out of the stand and shot him he weighs 49lbs. Nothing else happened but hey got me another coyote
That's a huge coyote! Good Job
Good Job
@@Randy_Savage_ohyeah thanks
Congrats! I have absolutely NO problem with people shooting coyotes, but I no longer do it. I've read that it doesn't have any positive effect on the population, and for some reason I've developed a real appreciation for these amazing animals. And they're beautiful, too. But if you enjoy it, go for it!
@@jakemitchell1671 I’ve always believed if there’s a coyote in the area you shoot it even if you’re using a firearm. If yotes are around deer will not be.
I'm not sure there is anyone else out there, that has a ground game like Zach.. By far my favorite dude in this THP crew. My very first THP video ever watched, was Zach doing the Ghillie Suit hunt from the ground and I've been hooked ever since. I'm not remotely close to being as successful as Zach has been in the ground game, but I've learned so much from him thru these videos. He might downplay his abilities, but for me - this guy is by far, my favorite, real bowhunting dude. There's NOBODY like him in today's game - NONE!
Peace Zach and the THP crew. Keep doing it - this channel is the best on the internet, bar none!
Zach's gloves 🤣🤙
Public land challenge is hands down the best hunting videos online.
Just finished editing a video of my own, nothing on tv, just wanted to relax, then saw this upload, thumbnail, and title.......... THANK GOD FOR THE HUNTING PUBLIC!!!!!! THIS MADE MY NIGHT ! ps..... nice 8 come by me today
Would love to hunt with these guys. I would definitely learn alot from them. Shout out to Mindy she takes good care of them and isn't afraid to go out on the track job.
Pa public isn’t even that bad until November and gun season. Even late October you can have good hunting. People make it sound worse than it is
How bout it!!! The deer are there just need to put the time in to find them!!! Been seeing some bruisers being shot across the state this week!
Yea also depends where I'm in 5c and 5d and its pretty crowded im where the kid got shot with a muzzleloader and its tuff
@@WHITETAIL215 yeah they made the property I hunt archery only because of that. Terrible accident that is completely avoidable
I hunt 2b across the street from where I live and this year got my first 10pt 24in wide. Oct 21st. Took 5 weeks or so to close the distance. Pa is good hunting.
Man, I really miss the older videos of THP. I couldn't wait for a new video to come out. Last year maybe watched 1
I just need to start bow hunting on the ground Zack style 🤙🏻🏹🦌
I love it when the whole group gets together for the tracking. Such a great friendship and team!
My mouth is actually agape at that footage!!!
Its nice to see you guys hunting PA. I’ve been going there from Maine for archery season the past 25 years. When a biologist worked to change to antler restrictions many years ago people almost ran him out of the state. Now he’s a hero with some great bucks available and fewer button bucks being killed. In the right circumstances; restrictions work. Great public land available and I’m fortunate to have several landowners give me the privilege to hunt their property.
It's tough hunting in PA. Sometimes the Big Ones are right outside their back porch. Lol
U all have the best videos! My family hunts Pa public lands and this is the most challenging type of deer hunting due to the pressure. You have down to earth, REAL videos. This is the kind of hunting the average hunter does. Thanks for sharing and keep making them.
Hell yes the beast are good ones
What a great series, love this public land challenge every year! You guys rock. A vid almost every day! Insane.
Just a thought:
Zach and Aaron are slayers. Can’t understate their experience and confidence to get it done.
Looking forward to seeing content from Ted Miller and Greg!
"U see all that pressure?" Those are your fans( talking to thp) I'm willing to guess a very large percentage of your subs come from people in pa. It would actually be a pretty smart business decision to come back to pa every year...
they said on the first public video in the PA hunt that the reason they chose PA was that there was a large subscriber base from there.
@@briandudasko6742 oh, I must have missed it
Josh I have to say that I have not been the biggest fan of your hunting style, but as far as your desire to hunt you have my deep respect in your pure push to hunt. I have always believed that desire coupled with Woodsmanship will put a lot of big deer in front of a hunter. You my friend are a pure hunter and I will look forward each week to your next adventure in the whitetail woods. Congrats on a great Pa buck!!!
PA guys: oh yeah??? Come to PA and kill one on public land
Zach: does it with a bow on the ground
...without a blind
Loved seeing that action with Dan at the end. That was a picture perfect buck, wow. So close.
Zach, When you’re hunting on the ground like that how are you staying comfortable? Are you using a chair sitting on your butt on your knees? I’ve sat on the ground before like that as well but can’t seem to stay comfortable for long unless I sit down on my butt but then if a deer is coming I think I’m just gonna get busted been to my knees to take a shot. What do you do do you have any advice?
Zach, don't feel too bad buddy. Low light conditions and face to face with big buck confrontation can turn crazy quick. You made a solid shot and were genuinely concerned for the deer. Don't beat yourself up. Congrats on another good one man.
What a shot on the first buck. Always great to see em die quickly with no suffering👍
Haha I’m guessing this was a shot at Zachs shot. He can’t help that he hit a lil left, but I’m sure you’ve never messed up a shot.
@@tycewisnewski3365 No not at all! I had made that comment before I watched the rest of the video. Zach’s shot honestly was not bad and even so, that’s a part of bowhunting
@@jackwright3065 alright man my bad! I just thought you were making a smart comment after the video.
This one's gonna be long winded. I watch these videos because you guys are awesome. Honestly I watch you guys because what you do is real life, you gotta go in to a new place and start from scratch.
Zach is inspirational, he's always so positive and upbeat no matter what. I feel what you felt looking for this deer Zach. Not the "oh no I might lose a nice buck" but that sick feeling, sick in your soul knowing that because of something you did the animal is gonna spend it's last hours scared and in agony. That feeling is unexplainable, only understood by those who have been in that situation.
Great job Zach, keep being you man, you are just a epic dude.
Zach, are those your girlfriend's gloves? They look a little small. They are cute though.
Thank you Greg and the others editing so hard. You guys are awesome. Videos that were filmed only a few days ago, and almost every day uploads. I certainly appreciate the content.
This deer Zach killed reminds me of the last deer I killed with a bow several years ago. I got one lung and the liver. I found him in a skidder rut, still alive but unable to get up. He just looked at me. I backed up and sat for over an hour while he died because I had nothing to finish him with. Eventually, he let out a bellow like I have never heard and thrashed around for about 10 seconds. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I just didn’t want to bow hunt anymore. In fact, I just stopped deer hunting for several years. I still hunted turkeys, but I just didn’t care for that feeling I got from that incident. It eventually passed a few years ago.
Rifle hunt is the best way to hunt deer, the biggest buck I ever shot was with a bow and I never did find it so I quit bow hunting, every one I shot with a rifle has always died on spot.
Zach is the best public land bow hunter in the game right now.
that was amazing! that's one of yalls biggest accomplishments...but ur camera freakin sucks in low light!
Love how they have a strategy every time they go out in the woods
do oklahoma it’ll be just about as hard lol
Hope to very soon!
The Hunting Public corps of engineers lands I practically untouched in many areas, people hardly look at anything that doesn’t say WMA
Oklahoma is not a hard state. It’s an absolute blast to hunt. Hope you guys come here and take some giants! I’d gladly point you in the right direction!
No, don't do oklahoma, our public has too many hunters as it is.
@@alexholder6707 yup thats where its at haha
I wish I had hunting buddies like you guys!! That’s something to cherish, good friends don’t come around to often! Much respect from a Michigan hunter!!
Where in pa were yall hunting?? ill hunt that buck tgat got away im still here hunting ....
Congrats on a nice PA buck. Ive hunted Pa for 20 years now and that is a real nice PA buck. We do have bigger bucks and since the restrictions were put in place, we do see better bucks but not every piece or farm will have big bucks on them. They are around tho. And speaking of the pressure on public land. Hunter numbers are way down in PA. You really dont see almost any hunters until the early muzzleloader season comes in, thats when most of the pressure comes in PA. I can remember 10 to 15 years ago counting 100's of cars on public land roads. Its not even close to that anymore. If you guys come back to Pa again, i would suggest coming before that early muzzleloader comes in or after it ends. I usually dont see anyone until then. Goodluck the rest of the deer tour!
Sad the buck took so long to die off. I understand that bitter feeling when you make a bad shot and you know that your deer is suffering. I wish it were easier to sneak up to them and get a better shot so they didn't have to suffer so long. But shots like that happen even to the best of us. Congrats on a successful hunt!
I would have went to follow up if it was legal but its not legal to shoot them again after legal shooting hours. Had it been daylight I would have done everything I could do to follow up and get another shot to end it faster.
@@TheHuntingPublic thats crazy u cant dispatch a wounded animal after dark 😪
The Hunting Public you find that out during? Why bring bow if knew?
Awesome video. King of the ground🤘🏻
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors welcome to the communist state of Pennsylvania..
Bedded buck at 20 yards!! Deer Tour 18, Ep.9 is the reason I watch THP I wish I could hunt with Zach the things I could learn from this guy. LET'S HUNT!!!!
First
THP is so real. The very best group of folks out there. Thank you all for what you do.
