" got my bullet proof orange vest on" ( your gonna need it) that had me laughing 🤣....... But tru........
Love buck horn 209
Another great hunt and I always seem to enjoy them the most when Greg has the camera,, not putting off on the others , just saying Greg has a lot of experience, and it shows.
Jake and Greg are the steadiest for sure
Please keep doing what you’re doing Aaron! Clean, ethical kills should be what this is about. Shooting and missing, shooting and wounding, wounding and not recovering seem to be in style nowadays and most viewers are okay with it because the hunter tried. Keep showing the audience how to do it right and hopefully we all will have better outdoor experiences.
The metal of the primer may have arced at an exposed part of the battery. Glad nobody was hurt.
Excellent hunt.
Cubby
Thats what i was thinking as well.
Keep doing what you do best, and that is showing good ethics while in the field!
It's NOT all about the kill!
Something that a lot of others in the industry don't seem to understand anymore.
One of the biggest reasons I don't subscribe to their shows any longer and the reason I will promote your channel to others!
You guys prove that it's the time in the outdoors, learning something new each time we are able to be out. Whether it be a sound we have never heard a turkey make, the way a flock of starlings move as one, and many numerous opportunities to witness it all firsthand.
The taking of an animal we are hunting is just a bonus!
Cubby
He told the internet to take a chill pill 😂🤣 classic warb!
Large antlers and struttin birds within the same field of view. Don’t get much better than that.
There are many other RUclipsrs that could learn the patience that THP exemplify. Love your ethics and your work! THP is thee best!
Lets be patient... two minutes later... I’m gonna crawl at him 😂😂😂
Life happens.... roll with it and try to find the good in everything, look hard, you will find it. My dad has always said..."a safe hunt is a good hunt" God Bless
A safe hunt is the best hunt by far no matter what you see or get.
Wise words. Heck, I'd be happy to see a couple deer this weekend. It's been six straight days of hunting without so much as a flag.
@@soko1450 not many people seeing deer in my area this year kinda sad really think number of deer are down.
No explanations necessary Aaron. We understand hunting without the camera is hard enough. Add in the video element and all the requirements associated with that aspect and its amazing to me you get any kills on film! Keep up the good work and we'll keep clicking the like button.
No-one can make the call whether to shoot or not better than the hunter himself. It's sort of like being a back seat driver, you don't have the same line of sight as the one behind the wheel. I'm very impressed with how all of you guys find so many bucks. Keep after them, the shot will come as you already know.
Hey Brother No need to worry about stupid criticism True Hunters Understand Great Job Man I have enjoyed the videos all year Band Of Brothers
Crazy that you had so many comments that you felt you needed to explain yourself on that last hunt. Keep doing awesome things and i love every one of them.
Smart idea on you guys to not shoot through that brush! Usually that ends in heartbreak. Nice video fellas👊
Dude, two days without a video had me in withdrawals! Y'all are simply the best and my first choice. Thanks for keeping up the great work and having so much dang fun!
No need to apologize. Filming is hard work, sometimes it all comes together and sometimes it doesn't. I'm still looking for my first kill this season so I can't really bitch about anything. Love watching THP videos, you all keep me pumped up and focused.
I always store a couple extra primers in the two screw holes of the rubber pad on the butt of my muzzle loader.
Aaron you owe us NO excuses, but sure appreciate the explanations of the situations. I too was thinking, "Why didn't he take that shot", but figured there was a good reason. That's one item I appreciate about THP, y'all take Good, Clean, Ethical shots and don't just throw lead at deer. Well Done!!!
I have been running that same muzzleloader setup for a few years and it’s been great. Love that TC Impact.
Good For You Aaron!!!! Take A Chill Pill......There Is A Lot More To What You Do Than Meets The Eye!!!! Great Job..
I agree Aaaron. It is so easy for people to criticize without being there. Just like watching football on TV and saying these guys suck. Things move fast on the sports field just like they do in the deer woods. It is always better to be patient and wait for another opportunity rather than rush a shot. Persistence and patience tend to pay off!
Well I cant speak for everyone but I think we all really wanted to see you shoot that buck on the last video. I hope nobody was being an Ahole about it. I cant even imagine filming my own hunt. I would throw that camera down every time it came time to shoot or stalk :) Thanks for providing such amazing content. Hope I run into you guys in AZ!!
Thats a great point, and something newer or less successful hunters sometimes dont understand. Its awesome to fill a tag. But if thats all you think about, or the only way you consider a hunt a success, you're missing out on a lot.
Thanks for keeping it real, I'm glad that there are people producing content that shows hunts where the hunter goes home empty handed. Most hunting shows make it look too easy, so people go out in the real woods and dont see 5 monster bucks the first day and give up.
Love re-watching these hunts. Feel like a lot of people only click on the vids with a dead deer/turkey on the front. But you can learn a lot from the hunts where you don’t kill a thing. Props to the cameraman on this one it’s hard getting on em’ in between right spots like that to get them on film when you’re only getting glimpses. Hope y’all are enjoying the turkey season.
I sure enjoy the ethical shots taken. You guys have many videos that I can show to people about being patient. It's really nice to see in the hunting world.
Great flick again. At least there was no close calls with other hunters. An seeing a good buck an knowing what shot you are confident in taking. Not all hunts end with tags filled or limits. Forcing a shot usually ends bad. Keep on keeping on, you guys got something good going here
Stuff happens in the field, especially with camera. You dont owe us any explanation but I do appreciate you trying to make your viewers understand. Another great video. Thanks!
We as viewers definitely take for granted your guys attention to shot selection. Not many guys can wait for everything to come into place before shooting like you guys do. Your kill/recovery % has to be amongst the highest of all public land hunters! Keep up the great work!
Sounds like a lot of people might be missing something with the comments from last video. Of course we would love to see you shoot that buck Aaron... and yes, ethical and clean. I'm sure nobody wants to see any one of yuenz wounding deer. We were just writing down what the voices in our heads were saying. I'll bet most everyone was thinking the same thing... including Greg when editing the video ;) but also, we can all agree with why you didn't shoot. I appreciate all the hard work that THP does. Keep it up!
Aaron says to the camera, "take a chill pill" and my wife says "was he talking to you?" YUP. :o)
Deer Tour '19 is in the book for me. Thank you and great job filming, editing and sharing your insights.
Every member of the team are top notch. They all have different tactics, know how and skill yet come together for the goal.
I appreciate not having crazy shot music and making the videos a super commercial.
Well aaron I think you did the right thing in not forcing a shot. It does amaze me that you and the crew put yourselves in the right place most of the time to see so many deer. I learn a lot about public land hunting form you all. I tend to not be aggressive enough fearing I will mess a spot up by pushing deer out. You all seem to have no fear in going right at them. Love it!
I love deer hunting and have been an avid hunter for 20 years , but TV almost made me quit hunting by driving the cost out of my working class price range. THP guys have got me fired back up and ready to go rejoin the hunting public. Thank you for making it real again guys.
You're right Aaron it did look like that buck was in the wide open to us.. Same thing happened to me this year, buck walked a straight line to me and was behind some does at only 20 yds... I passed!! THP for life
I didn't understand not ever will anyone giving you a hard time about NOT shooting. You guys are a class act and really epitomize how hunting should be. You're with friends, family, really understand the game you hunt, you bring what you need and that's it, lastly... You hunt ethically. Keep doing what you're doing.
Love it. I've always said which ever shot you are comfortable with taking. That's the one you take. Too many people get caught up on I do it this way an so should you. If the hunt ends with the prize intended.. Then Kudos to you. Don't let other people take away from the joy you put into the adventure. An some might say comes from a guy who shoots lil deer or none. I only shoot what I know I will harvest clean. That's all I care about at the end of the day...Hunters need to stick together don't nit-pick others. Keep them coming boy's. 'Yall killing it'....
Great video. Not forcing the shot is always the better choice.
How the heck do you guys crank out such great videos so quickly. Absolutely incredible. By far my favorite crew to watch!!
The Indiana chapter of Backcuntry Hunters and Anglers is having a pint night on January 10 in Indy if you get bored at the ATA show.😁
Best powder and bullet combination on the market. If you go to a state like Colorado that required you to shoot full bore Bullets use Thor Bullets. They are manufactured by Barnes same bullet just slightly modified So they will shoot full bore.
Your doing great. Don’t worry about negativity. Take the safe shot your comfortable with. Love videos keep up the awesome work.
Aaron, you do not need to justify your choices. Those of us that have been with y'all from the beginning know what's going on.
Love watching you guys hunt. Thanks for putting out content nonstop during the season.
Got to love muzzleloader season, in some ways even tied with archery season. At least in my state of West Virginia once all the people shoot em up on the first couple days of rifle season they don't even mess with going out with the ole single shot and puff of smoke, too much work for em. So that means more peace and quiet and usually there is a light snow which as you guys know can help spot a deer. Or in the case of tonight's sit, a couple rabbits (which for me is huge since there are not many around anymore), a squirrel who thought he/she was boss and a flock of 6-8 turkeys just bopping along feeding on what they can in the light snow. Plus it was cool to see them roost up all around me.
That is a nice set up you and Jake got there, the Thompson Center brand has been synonymous with muzzleloader hunting for a very long time. Vortex and Barnes both make high quality, good value products. My next scope just might be a Vortex, on my Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM that I am setting up for western big game hunting of my .17 HMR that I recently got. Your buddy Jeff Sturgis loves his Barnes Spit-Fire T-EZ saboted loads. Myself I have a CVA Optima V2 50 cal with an ambi thumbhole camo stock, use Hornady SST High Speed Low Drag 250 grainers, a different brand's muzzleloading scope (it fit my budget at the time, not a fan of the ones that come on the combos, so I got a gun without a scope and bought my own), Hodgdon Triple-7 pellets (100 grains aka 2 pellets) and Winchester Triple Seven 209 muzzleloading primers. Works well for me so far, even though I have yet to take a deer with her.
Question: I know some states people are only allowed to use loose powder and not pellets, is that why you all went with the Blackhorn powder or is it just that you and Jake have found that works best in your rifles? I like the convenience of being able to drop two pellets in a quickloader with my sabot and bullet and if I don't shoot I can unscrew the breech plug and put them back in the quickloader. I know they make measuring vials for loose powder, my Dad uses a percussion cap Hawkins that he got a couple decades ago and loves it.
Forrest Earnest Blackhorn Burns very clean
@@TheHuntingPublic thank you it makes sense in why you would use that over pellets. I have yet to try loose powder in my inline.
Love the video, I deal with batteries everyday. Your primer going off would not have blown the batteries, but those loose 18650 batteries in with the camera battery that has positive and negative output exposed will! They probably set off the primer. Get cases for those batteries and keep up the good work!
Looking forward to all your up coming hunts. I’m starting to feel like I know you guys LOL . Great job
I really like Warb! He's a good guy! Seriously your right we just get anxious and forget what it's like, also many of us like filmed hunts but have never filmed ourselves. So were not used to the frustration a person that films has learned to deal with. So please forgive us Warb and Guy's you guy's are the Best that's why we care and keep tuning in! Thanks for all your hardwork and committment to us but understandably the committment to the Animal not suffering comes first! That's what makes you the Best Rolemodels for the younger guy coming up. Best of Luck next hunt!
110 grains of blackhorn is a HOT load. That's gotta be equivalent to 130-140gr load of pyrodex. I'm just shooting 85gr of blackhorn in my setup. Still shoots pretty damn flat!
Aaron...you are an absolute PRINCE for being so patient with your viewers!!! I've spent my entire deer hunting career (40 years) hunting from the ground, sitting on logs, behind trees, bushes, makeshift "blinds"....and I've had DOZENS of experiences where would would think success was absolutely guaranteeed, only to have it spoiled by something out of my control. And I wasn't trying to FILM IT!!!!!
So don't you give these "shoot it!!!" Monday morning QBs any mind at all! Most of them are inexperienced or have spent their entire hunting life in a heated box over food plots on private land where "hunting" isn't hunting at all. It's "shooting" deer that have come come out into the open to EAT. These people are NOT "hunters."
That's funny haha.
I ended up with almost exactly the same muzzleloader setup over the years. Dropped 5/7 of the deer I've shot with the muzzy. 2 heart shots a bit past 50 yards. 1 heart shot out past 90 yards.
Awesome explanation of those hunts and explaining the ethical shot to take! You kids are spot on!!!
Love the clarification on not shooting. Makes me think about taking more ethical shots!!
Also, I love the written comments on screen when you forget to say something or bring context to the video. Keep up the great work!
Great hunt Aaron! Unfortunately most people do not realize how hard it is to self film and alot of them think it is easy. It is twice as hard to hunt with a camera and 3x as hard self filming! Keep up the great work.
Still an exciting hunt without the kill ! You guys always make it feel like we are out there with ya ! Keep up the good work ! 👍🏻
“Those turkeys are strutting”😂
Thanks for the explanation on the previous day situation!
Great Video Arron. Thanks for posting
THP and BH 209. Holy Union. Both are elite.
Good hunt Aaron. I appreciate y’all putting a lot of effort into making good shots and doing everything you can to make quick kills!
Great video. Last video had a lot of suspense. Keep doing it your way cuz we all love your videos
You guys got me so pumped on cashing in on my Iowa Non resident bonus points
Great video, setting a good example. I dig your ethics.
X2 on the Blackhorn/ Barnes load. The powder cleans up much easier than any other I have used. The bullets perform flawlessly.
Keep doing what you guys are doing. I've told enough ppl in my life not to take shots that they aren't confident in taking. Tracking wounded deer sucks there will be more chances.
Love how real you guys are... great content.
Thanks for sharing, Butch from Ashland!
I think it shows a lot of respect for the animal by not taking risky shots, camera angles are most always different from the hunters POV. Like you said plenty of deer have already been killed this fall no sense in forcing a shot. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing!
Barnes and blackthorn that's what I've uses for the past 10 years in my triumph. I always try to shoot a barnes bullet in all rifles. I even got a perfect 90° expansion on my 250gr pbt at 262yds.
I wouldn't recommend using the T7 primers, they are less powerful and TC breech plugs (on the triumph and encore, not sure about the impact) have a long flash channel and a hotter primer like a standard 209 or a 209M will lend for more positive ignition with BH209 powder.
Jet sled xl works way better then a cart
Greg is the Wild Kingdom Jim Fowler of THP- not always seen but utterly indispensable!
Nice job as always. Kinda spooky about that cap cooking off in your hand warmer. Don't worry about people who say you should shoot. Nobody but the person behind the gun or looking through the peep sight is in a position to call the shot. The camera is not mounted to see what you see and vice versa.
Your videos and your techniques inspired me to try my first ever spot and stalk after I had a saddle sit busted by a couple of hunters. I was able to move to within 75 yards and take a doe with my rifle. Thank you for doing what you’re doing.
Good deal! Thanks for clarifying from the other video! Totally understand now why you didn’t take the shot! As far as this video I 100 agree with you for not taking the shot through the brush at that range! Good luck!
Oh that battery set that primer of and it reminded me of an vision or dream I had . In this dream it was the future and I was hunting with this custom muzzie that was chambered in .30 cal and amongst the pleathera of bullets in 30 cal I was using an 308 projectile . The gun didn't use primers but had electrodes , like sparkplugs and stun guns , as the igniter , due to shortages of primers , and the projectile was loaded from the rear which only required the bullet starter rod which was sowed away in the stock of the gun . To release it there was a push button and the rod would pop out . That was one hell of a dream or " Dream gun " ! Are you muzzleloader manufactures getting the gist of this ?
Great video arron
Thanks Bubba!
Same powder and load I use. Nothing better than blackhorn. Only thing different I use is the bullet. I like the hornady 250gr mono flex.
Was so stoked when I refreshed my subscriptions and saw hunting the public posted a video
Great hunt and footage! I use the same Barnes bullets out of my Omega. It's as accurate as any rifle that I have! I love 'em! And I sure as heck appreciate you guys waiting for good shots!
I like the Spitfire T-EZ's not only because of performance but its one of the few lead free ammunition I have reliably found. I hunt public land that mandates lead free ammo, which often results in less pressure during gun season.
I wonder if some of the criticism is because you guys pass up big deer most of us never see and people cant believe it. I love the tactics and info you give. Keep up the great work.
Great explanation of your last couple hunts. Being a safe ethical hunter is best for all. Liked that you shared your muzzleloader loads. Had a problem with a name brand not expanding enough in my accounts. Barnes bullet will be my choice to use! Thanks again THP.
And that's why I have the upmost respect for you guys! Well said Aaron!
P.s still waiting on that interview to join the team! PA Concervancy Land hunter here
Kill or no kill I've always enjoyed the content you guys put out there. I use these videos for both viewing pleasure and for educational purposes as well.
Great video! I enjoy them all. You don't have to always kill a buck every time you go! Can't wait to see some more hunts from out West. Those were cool last season!
Blackhorn/Barnes combo does very well, easy to clean up too.
Good call. No shot is better than a bad shot any day. He will be there again get back after them guys
Love it ! Great stuff guys. Thank you.
Good luck wherever y’all will be in MS! I’ll be in Copiah county from dec 26-Jan 4.
Great to hear that you are coming to Mississippi! Our MS crew will be looking forward to watching the videos!
Good decision to not force that shot 👍. I really like that you guys try and take the most ethical shot you can. Personally I love seeing the shots on video. Great job👍
Great hunt and video, there is always thing that we do not get to see in the background, but you guys do an awesome job. Thanks for sharing....
You just keep doing you...we just love living vicariously through you and so we just want the best. Gotta take our "frustration" with a pound of salt lol
I live here in Mississippi and I really enjoy yalls videos safe travels and I hope y’all get a big one while hunting down here
We’ve all taken shots we probably shouldn’t have and I totally respect your decision to not force the shot(s) on those two nice bucks! In my opinion that’s proven you to be an even better hunter! Great job! Awesome hunt!
I have the T/C impact as well and really like it being my first muzzleloader. I use triple seven pellets 100’grain with 250 grain hornady sabots. Shot a nice doe with it this year and it put her down quick!
Awesome video keep them coming. you guys are great always love to get the notification but wait until I get a couple so I have at least 1for backup love the hunting public
Have to believe it was a spark from the battery that set off the primer. I fully agree with you on taking ethical shots only. Have to respect the critters. Great stuff.
Much respect fellas. True hunters. These animals deserve good clean ethical kills as you said.
Never apologize for being an ethical hunter. Most of these trolls that question your hunting skills are not hunters anyway. Just a bunch of soy boys that never get off the pavement.
Yea that buck from yesterday. I was yelling shoot loll keep up the awesome videos
You made a circuit in your hand warmer. Primer probably got between the two batteries, with opposing polarities. The primer was the load. I would be interested to see if the primer was in place long enough to heat up and then explode, or if it arced and caused the primer to go off?
