Good on you for posting this, and being honest about it. Hunts don’t always go perfectly to plan, in fact they rarely do. Thanks for being real. Great stuff!
You really put in the work man. From one hunter to another I have a lot of respect for the effort you put into each hunt and you earn every deer you get. 👌🏻
My dad is old school and doesn’t like RUclips at all but I was able to get him to watch seek one with me and now it’s like our thing ya know me and my pops have a tuff relationship but this brings us closer especially when he praises the lord ya know .
This is wild I had a hunt almost identical to this one this year where it took several arrows to finally harvest the deer. Never what we intend or what we would ever wish for, but it’s the follow up that separates the good hunters from great. The commitment to the animal, the dedication to follow through on the hunt and make right. Happy that you guys got the job done.
This is what drives all of us to be better hunters. We don't ever want to see an animal suffer. We do it best to make sure everything is in good working order and ready for when the time comes. But sometimes it happens, and when it does, what you did Lee is what everyone needs to do. Go in and do what it takes to find that animal, and if necessary, take an extra shot to seal the deal. We are human, and we make mistakes. But what sets us apart from others is we try not to duplicate our past mistakes, but learn from them. Congrats on a great drop tine buck. Looking forward to more hunts!
It takes dedication when harvesting an animal especially bow hunting, stories like this one happen more often than we want to admit, hunters make bad shots sometimes. I am glad you stuck it out and finally put the deer down. Thanks for sharing!
Kudos on not falling in the water.That is a small kayak for two men and a buck.I always wondered if you could do that or not, without tipping.Had to be real iffy.Cograts on the buck.
I just had a similar experience where I made a good broadside shot on a buck, he stumbled and stood there just the same way so I stuffed another one in him, he took off. I had great blood on my 1st arrow and OK on the second. Took me 3 days to find him. That extra shot gave him the adrenaline along with the testosterone levels of rutting buck to get 800 yards. Initial shot was where I had thought it was. Mature bucks are some of the toughest animals alive. I've been contemplating if my 2nd shot was the right thing to do.
Sucks. 3 days later that sucker was probably rancid. I know that if I leave one out overnight more than likely the Coyotes will get them. So amazing how resilient these animals are. Last year I shot a buck at 50 yards with my crossbow. My shot went straight through both shoulders & both lungs. This deer with no front legs working or lungs to breathe ran 200 yards into the thickest mess known to man. I was on my belly going through to track it. When I found him his entire nose face was pouring out & covered with pink frothy blood. Even with the best shot you just never know.
I checked the comments exactly for a comment like yours . I have watched many many videos and it looked like the deer was going down , then they put another arrow in him and its like he never got shot . I wonder if they just wait and see what happens . But then again I was taught that you always get as many arrows in the deer as possible . I'm 62 and disabled , but if I was ever in a position were I got a good shot and it looked like the deer was going down and I could get another shot, I would hold off and see what happens . The deer would have to be really holding on to stand up . I say it now but who knows what I would do .
I have also had bucks where they stood there for 2 minutes after a double lung and I didn't shoot again and the just fall over dead within sight. Patience was the 🔑.
"Deer" in general are some of the toughest animals I've discovered. One rifle season years ago my dad shot a doe that dropped. Then like half-hour later he shot another. Shortly after it was the end of hours so he got down checked the 2nd one he shot that was closer (dead) went to the 1st one which he discovered alive. He didn't have his gun since it was after hours so he cut its throat. Then drug the 2nd one back home and ate dinner. Went back after dinner for the 1st deer and he just went to grab it. Well, it jumped up and kicked the crap out of him. It then ran for another 200 yards through the woods. Adrenaline is a heckuva thing. A few years ago we also found a dead buck in the cornfield about 2 months after deer season. Not sure where it came from as we'd never seen it on a camera or anything before or when it got there, but when we found it had been there for a while since it was literally just skin and bones. Well upon investigation we saw it was missing one of its front feet that was then covered in a ball of mud from using it to walk. We assume it got shot off during the rifle season, but don't know for sure. None of the neighbors nearby had shot at it so it would have had to have walked for quite some time.
@@craiglandon7571 when an alien race invaded earth and starts hunting u, u will see how tough and resilient u are u... Youd be surprised what u will do and can endure in ah life and death situation and how far u could push yourself before u just gave up and died .
Man that’s so awesome that you guys shared a three-shot deer. So many pieces have to come together when bow hunting. Thankful that I’m not the only one🤟
What a great harvest and an awesome show of sportsmanship. As a hunter, you don’t always put the perfect shot on an animal and I love to see someone make such a great effort to do right by the animal. Congrats sir, you earned it
Kudos for getting it done in challenging circumstances. It’s not a situation we want as hunters but a reality. I’ve been there myself albeit not a stud like yours. Keep the vids coming mate.
The passion and respect he has for every animal he harvest regardless of scorable points is truly refreshing to see, this is what a real hunter gatherer looks like, he does everything he can to humanely harvest the animal and shows his full emotion to thank god before even taking part in recovery. Good man good channel
This may not have been your cleanest or coolest hunt but its probably the best ive ever seen you put on. This was real hard work and you kept after it. And that Buck to me would be proudest because he made you work for that. He was one tough son of a gun. Awesome stuff.
I have watched a couple of your videos but not going to lie didn't really get into your content until today though all of what I've watched to this point has been entertaining ... Excellent hunt I respect that you showed the hunt in it's entirety, the good and the bad... this video truly shows the roller coaster ride this is more commonly known as Bow hunting... New sub earned with this one, good job, great hunt, superb whitetail
Way to keep it real! Kudos. Many probably wouldn't post but I'm thinking catman and THP would be right there with you, posting the good, the bad and the ugly. Awesome hunt!
Such good advice about the second shot, especially when it comes to elk with a bow. It isn't over until you have your hands on them. Deer and elk can be incredibly tough sometimes. Congratulations on a beautiful buck.
Lee, That first shot looked real good when I first watched it Looked like it broke the opposite shoulder or leg. You put it right in there nice and tight. I figured on the angle it would would have eventually dropped within a few steps, but you made the right call and put another one in him. Great job getting everything on film and keep in pursuing until that buck was down. Congratulations brother.
Neither were good....with his arrow setup...1st was bad forward only one legged it...second shit didn't even penetrate half an arrow. Ig you ain't blowing through a freaking whitetail deer with a compound bow, your arrow setup is fucked...FOC
Im sorry to hear about your accident. Can I ask how it happened? You don't have to answer, but your answer may help other hunters. I hope that somehow you're still able to enjoy the outdoors, or even hunting.
What an awesome hunt! People don’t realize the time and work that goes into this-and getting all on video makes it twice as difficult. Excellent footage btw! Incredible B roll also. I love watching your hunts.
Major Props for showing this! many years ago when hunts were on vhs tapes in the infancy of deer hunting shows, this would have never been seen. Congratulations. mad Respect 🙏
I love how you guys show it all. Even the shots you're not proud of. Lots of people would have just canceled the episode or did some camera tricks so we wouldn't know what really happened. I started watching you hugs I think 2 years ago and you guys got me wanting to get into bow hunting so bad. Just been trying to save up for a Bow and of course everything else I'll need. It'd be awesome to hunt with you guys. See like fun and just real genuine dudes and it's awesome you guys believe in God and ot afraid to put it out there. I love it when people like you guys can take a platform like this make it high up in the platform and still stay true to your morals your belief in God.
Congratulations to you sir, great deer. Kudos to you for being so compassionate on wanting to do the animal justice, and following through with it. Keep on keeping on, God bless.
I’m a canadian Was a hunting guide in Canada Moving to Tennessee for work for a couple years Looking forward to bow hunting and fishing and everything Tennessee has to offer.
You guys should make a video on wrapping and fletching your arrows and what you guys prefer when it comes to vain shape and size as well as 3 vain vs 4 vain
I've been binge watching your hunting videos for a few weeks now and was so surprised when I see the guy that came to help you retrieve the deer went to elementary school with me and is from my hometown such a small world
Im a young hunter, and i love you guys and your content, i look everyday to see if you have posted anything. just want to say thank you for being a huge inspiration.
Earlier this season I had a chance on a nice deer, and it took off running. I let down my draw just for him to stop broadside at 30 yards. When you jumped him up to finish him off you did exactly what I should have done so I'm definitely taking notes. Nice deer man
Great video. Respect your tenacity. Adult arrow (Ranch Fairy reference) with 200 grain single bevel broadhead always puts 2 holes in a deer no matter where/what I hit.
Awesome video and congrats on a great Tn buck! I live and hunt in Tn and that’s a dandy. Also I like the when the cam cut back to you after the shot. Looks like you did a replay of everything in your head. Very cool moment to watch.
Congrats!!!! That is the only way to bow hunt, it doesn't always go perfect. But you never give up, when the animal has been wounded. Great work!!!! God Bless all!!!!👍😉🙏🙏🙏🙏
You know. I've watched several of your videos. You have good content, editing, ect... But most of all, i enjoy the fact that your A real hunter. You have what it takes to get the job done. Great hunting ethics. You put 3 arrows in him to finish him. Most wouldhave quit with the 1st shot
Dude I have never hunted before and am hoping to go this coming season. I am turning 15 soon so bit of a late start. But man your videos get me excited and definitely have reached me some things! Keep up the great work man!!!
I’ve never gotten lucky enough to be able to put a third one in a deer that I’ve been looking for. Man you got some good luck bro. Nice effort to recover him.

I was going to say the same thing, well said.
Plan B happens. Glad to see u gottem. Like the humble nature of the hunt.
This shows how rough things can get.
Hunts don’t always go the way they should. You adapted and finally got the buck you really wanted. God is so good!
God is always one to amaze you, he blesses us in so many ways!
I don’t think god was worried about this guys deer hunt😂😂😂 so ignorant
@@fieldsj007you gotta realize god walks with us in all aspects of our life, he doesn’t ignore or leave you when you’re deer hunting
@DRIVEN yea ok I remember when I believed in fairy tales good for you 👍🏻
@DRIVEN keep doing so… hope it makes you happy 😃
This is like the only channel I don’t skip to the good part on. The story just builds good job again guys!!!
Yes man
I can second that. Good stuff

Nice one Lee! You showed a good example by showing the necessity to track slow and take your time for another shot. Always enjoy ya'lls videos.

Man I love you’re channel. Always showing the prep and work that goes into a hunt. You show the challenges along as you’re victories. Awesome content.
One hell of a buck man, and true woodmanship shown as well
Awesome story. They aren't always picture perfect but it's always great to see the everything come around in the end!
So glad you guys are real. Love your videos. I'm 60 and just got into hunting last year. Thanks!!

I just started watching your channel out of random and I love it you have no joke got me inspired to start hunting hard again
Good job capturing the ups and downs of hunting. Also good for you to keep after the deer until you had him.

Guys need to be more careful.
Lee ur a Legend with a bow in ur hand n ur knowledge of deer is amazing bro
I’ve been watching your episodes a lot recently. Really enjoying the experiences and stories with the hunts. Great content!
probably the coolest hunt and experience i’ve seen from lee on this channel this was great
Great looking deer we all have hunts like this one, the attitude, perseverance, and overcome is the name of the game

I had the same thing happen this year, not nearly as nice a deer as yours but I really appreciate you all showing this hunt. It's real as it gets!
Thanks for the great video. It’s sucks when something like this happens but nothing but respect for you for showing the truth.
Great job. You’ve inspired me to do this in Alabama. I’ve got 3 hammers that I’m trying for. All 3 are P&Y, but 1 if not 2 are possibly Booners.
Sweet buck! Way to show the whole story too. 👊🏼👊🏼

Both of those shots looked pretty good to me, I can't believe he was still alive! Nice work on the stalk and getting a 3rd one in him. Awesome buck.
These vids make me wanna rush and get in the woods everytime I watch. 👍🏼
Congratulations to you sir, great deer. Kudos to you for being so compassionate on wanting to do the animal justice, and following through with it. Keep on keeping on, God bless.

I've been following the last couple of years and definitely live the content. Keep it coming guys!
Now that's an awesome example of true to life deer hunting
Man what a wild hunt so glad it turned out the way it did congratulations on another stud
I love seeing the whole story! Keep up the phenomenal content guys!

Really don't know what to say ? But you are one of the best whitetail hunters I have ever seen! Great stuff congratulations!
Awesome hunt, track and recovery! Had to put two in an eight in November when the first was behind the shoulder. Amazing how tough whitetail are! WOW!
I've been hunting Tn whitetail for over 20 years, That is a nice buck for Tennessee!! Nice job!!
Great video. Respect your tenacity. Adult arrow (Ranch Fairy reference) with 200 grain single bevel broadhead always puts 2 holes in a deer no matter where/what I hit.

Nice deer brother! I really like that I learn something new every video you make. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on a nice buck. In the future can you show us the dissection of your shots? It’s an excellent way for us to learn. Thanks
Congrats!!!! That is the only way to bow hunt, it doesn't always go perfect. But you never give up, when the animal has been wounded. Great work!!!! God Bless all!!!!👍😉🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great hunt brother from Lebanon Tennessee love the passion so happy you got this great buck congratulations
I had a hunt that happened just like this. Had to make a follow up shot. Thanks for showing the whole hunt!!!
Glad you got him.. good sportsmanship mate..
Great video and great hunt! You sir are a true conservationist and it truly shows in this particular hunt!!!
What a hunt that's crazy I know that deer and that highway well. Good for you for tagging him, I started watching him at 2.5.
Its crazy for me to think that there are bucks like that near me... even though it is in an urban area. Keep up the great work.
You know. I've watched several of your videos. You have good content, editing, ect... But most of all, i enjoy the fact that your A real hunter. You have what it takes to get the job done. Great hunting ethics. You put 3 arrows in him to finish him. Most wouldhave quit with the 1st shot
Dude I have never hunted before and am hoping to go this coming season. I am turning 15 soon so bit of a late start. But man your videos get me excited and definitely have reached me some things! Keep up the great work man!!!
I’ve never gotten lucky enough to be able to put a third one in a deer that I’ve been looking for. Man you got some good luck bro. Nice effort to recover him.
Hands down best editing and hunting channel on RUclips
Better than The Hunting Public?
Hunting can definitely suck sometime but it’s great to see you retrieved such a amazing buck with those circumstances. Great job!!👍🏼👊🏼
Man I love the energy and passion you have. Definitely gives positive motivation to get out and work hard at getting some deer next season!
Great Buck...nice tracking/retrieving job!
i love this mans excitement
I’ve been waiting to see this video ever since I seen a sneak peek of it on Facebook!!!!!!!
You put two guys plus a big buck on a NuCanoe Flint, great kayak!! Awesome video brother(s).
Congratulations brother you never gave up you were so discouraged but you never gave up
