Great video! I have watched and re-watched so many of your videos. I'm addicted to your channel! Suggestion... as an avid hunter myself, I always like to walk through the shot (the placement, what vitals may have been hit and direction of arrow/bullet travel). I think that really helps all of us have a better understanding of how to approach the situation after the shot. I wish all hunting videos did this, as it would help so many hunters that do not quite understand how it all works. Some may think it's too graphic to discuss, but I think it's important. Keep up the great work!!
Are you guys shooting a Thompson Center Impact? I shoot Blackhorn 209 and nearly not as much smoke. We hunt similar river bottoms on the east coast but our rivers are tidal rivers, so we have to account for high tides which is sometimes at primetime during legal shooting hours.
I've watched this hunt about four times. Never gets old. Greg and Aaron, you guys put out top notch content on the Toobz. I appreciate you stopping to talk about the terrain, plant species, and other things that most other hunting channels don't waste time with.
Fun hunt, gentlemen. This is exactly the style of hunting that I do every year. Ground set, late season, muzzleloader on a stick, sniper style. A muzzleloader with a scope is a really humane way to hunt, and at the same time be able to extend the range of my shot up to 150 yards or possibly more. The only thing that bugs me is how little blood a .50 caliber muzzleloader bullet leaves. Anyway, good shot, Aaron, and a real nice harvest. And a shout out to Mindy. She's a trooper!
Thanks Jon! We've tried some new bullets this year and found better success with blood trails. Luckily in this case the buck didn't go far and was easy to find.
Wow! Ya can tell we all grow up hunting different.first deer Aaron ever shot with a scope and his job is to hunt. I think that's pretty cool.ive shot a bunch with a shotgun and just started rifle hunting last year.the only deer I've ever killed with a scope was with a crossbow.
What a great video. Tons of great lessons: 1.Hunting in bitter cold pays off. 2. Deer don't always "act" like they are hit when they get shot. 3. Deer don't always leave a blood trail, especially with thick winter coats on. 4. Mindy is the muscle behind the deer drag. 5. Rabbit hats can go bald. Great season gentlemen. You worked very hard and were well rewarded for your effort. And we got watch and learn!! Many thanks!! Can't wait til next year. I will send Aaron a can of "spray on hair" for the lucky rabbit hat.
Great hunt. I talked to you guys at the ATA and told you how much I enjoyed watching spring thunder/Midwest whitetail and last night I stumbled across this channel. I’m glad you guys are doing your own thing now. Get a stick about 6 feet long and run it through that rope on the sled. 2 people can hold on and make the drag easier. Keep it up
Aaron & Greg & Mindy - I enjoyed both Bucks you guys harvested this season. We All appreciate "The Hunting Public" videos & look forward to each one. WE ALL feel like we are with you on each hunt. We learn a lot from you & the video quality & sound is excellent.This weather was the most brutal I have witnessed so far. Aaron....Great Deer & Excellent shot and recovery in darkness & negative temps. Mindy you are to be commended for coming out in this weather for the recovery. I think it's TERRIBLE these guys made you pull that deer out !!!!
Haha! Thanks. Mindy is a trooper. She comes along with us on each recovery. The drag out was miserable. I (Aaron) miscalculated our exit route in the dark and we ended up dragging him further than needed. We were pop sickles by the time we got him to the car!
I was raised in northern North Dakota so subzero temps just make me feel at home. These guys work very hard so I consider it a privilege to help out in any way that I can to support the team.
Myndi- Sorry about incorrect spelling of your name. I was laughing With you not At you with that drag. You pulled that deer on camera further than I could. If that was me I would have cut it up and put it in 1lb. zip lock bags to get it out.........North Dakota...Your tough kid. You & the team are the HARDEST hunting TEAM on RUclips !!!
Aaron - Anyone who hunts late & recovers in the dark gets turned around...we both know it. You and the "Whole Team" have the BEST videos on RUclips. ALL of us look forward to your next hunt. You work Hard as a Team yet Really have Fun !
It would have been ok if you were laughing at me...I was laughing at myself! No worries about my name - when you spell your name weird you can’t get upset when people don’t spell it right :)
Great hunt and way to stick it out through all the ups and downs this season Aaron! Can't wait to see what great content you will put out in 2018. Keep it coming boys!
Please don't change!! Great videos. I love the "no lame music" and straight up hunting you guys do. You also teach along the way. Was that buck hit a little far back or no? Hard to tell from video.
Great job guys and gal. Way to start off the new year.Awesome,been watching all season.You guys are the best on public hunting info keep it up.can't wait for next season,lol forgot someone still has a tag lets see another one.
Y'all guys are MUCH deserving of that good buck!! That kind of weather definitely separates the men from the boys!! Very impressed to see Mrs Clements out there with y'all and even helped drag him out. Y'all better have that woman a big cup of coffee waiting for her afterwards! Haha
lol I love that your weather in January is what we have here in early Nov. Hell, today in late Oct it is -2C or 28F. My toes are burning just thinking about the near frostbite i'll get in 2 weeks.
The plant you guys are seeing looks like Horsetail or Equisetum. It is a perennial plant that is found in or near watery areas such as marshes, streams, or rivers. Here is a video explaining how bison eat it. See if it's the same stuff. ruclips.net/video/0OMsEO3dIhc/видео.html
Congrats Aaron and team THP! Was that tall goofy 8 Greg had on trail cam from last year the same buck that squirted out the backside during Zach's hunt this year?
Do you guys ever deer hunt at night? Well you must! The reason I ask is all of you keep saying we didn’t shoot one tonight or tonight should be good. You are not hunting at night! It would be correct by saying “ We have a good chance of shooting one this AFTERNOON OR EVENING” night nīt/Submit noun 1. the period of darkness in each twenty-four hours; the time after sunset to sunrise. "a moonless night" synonyms: nighttime; hours of darkness, darkness, dark; nightfall, tonight ,after sunset. Yes
Awesome hunt. Congrats on the buck! It is crazy how tough a whitetail is. He didn't look hit hard but didn't make it very far. Where did you end up hitting him?
The bullet entered right behind the last rib and exited on the opposite shoulder. We actually found the bullet and talk about the hit over on our Facebook page.

I’ve said it before I’m gonna say it again you guys have to be the best thing going out there! I’m loving the videos and can’t wait to see where you guys are able to take this platform
Messed up how I watch him take this shot without hesitation or question, but if he was there and anyone else was behind the trigger, he would start his, "ole I wouldn't take that shot I'd let him get closer" bullshit that I just watched him so to Ted the video I just watched prior to this... Practice what you preach man, and if your filming, do just that and quit weighing in ón whoever is shooting while your filming like you're the only one that can make shots or call shots for that matter... I love The Hunting Public, hence while I'm backtracking watching older videos, but I just don't care for his grumpy old man I know best hypocritical personality... Ted, Zach, and the rest all have a good attitude, selfless, fun-loving attitude, try joining the team in that manner hoss...
When I cut my teeth everyone smoked cigarettes, 1970s .. I was told once you made a shot sit and smoke a cigarette.. Then walk to where you last made the shot, never trust your eyes.. Start looking for blood and tracks.. Put a hat on a tree branch or something so you can keep coming back to the last place you saw the animal.. Walk in the direction of where the animal ran. See blood and make circles to find more blood.... Honestly, there should have been zero question on if they hit a deer or not.. Just found the channel and I like the channel so far...
Congrats Aaron, I was fixing to hang it up myself, haven’t killed one this year, but I’m going to give it a try a few more times. Great show....best out there by far! Thanks for taking us all along with y’all this season.
You guys are truly inspirational to the old and new hunters! My 11 year old daughter loves watching your videos with me.her excitement she shows when watching every episode makes me smile! 2018 is going to be her first year of hunting and she is all gears up! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing and teaching the proper way to do things.best of luck in 2018-19
Great job to you and your crew. Thank you for the quality videos and keeping them free and fun to watch for everyone. I am looking forward to more videos and podcasts. 👊
Much respect for you guys going out on your own and with all your hard work putting together a great season and a great series. Looking forward to much more in the future. Congrats to the whole gang.
Been catching up with all your videos. This has got o be one of my favorites. Not sure why, but just a dandy buck, and the friendship etc. Great job guys keep the content coming
It is 180 days until the 2018 TN deer season opens. This video just got me excited for that morning. Great job of filming, editing and tracking. I enjoyed. I subscribed and will watch many more!
Best deer hunting show out there. Very informative and you guys clearly hunt hard and know your stuff. Are you going to continue into shed hunting and Turkey season?
Danny Starliper Every year I say I'm going to get serious about public land hunting but I never do lol. I find some good sheds on the one close to me though but rarely deer hunt it. I went a few times though saw deer every time no big bucks though but I need to scout better. I just hunt everything though I love it all hard for me to get serious about just deer. So I don't complain about not seeing or killimg big ones. Can't wait to shed hunt and Turkey season is my favorite. Good luck you guys.
I know I'm late watching these. These guys are awesome ambassadors. Thanks. Does the sound of really cold snow underfoot make anyone else cringe? That sound is like nails on a chalkboard.
Thank you Gentlemen and Mrs. Clements for such a quality program. I first found you guys on Spring Thunder years ago and then through MW. I don't know what your plans are for the future, but I selfishly hope you are able to keep the show as much like this past season as you possibly can. I am sure the cost of your equipment is high and you all need to make a living, but the simplicity and reality of your approach is refreshing in a day when everything in hunting seems to be super commercialized. I grew up watching the Drury's and loved their early videos but they sadly went the way of most of the rest of the hunting industry. Today, their stuff is just unwatchable. If I had only one hunting show to watch, it would be yours. Keep up the good work guys -- you are an exceptionally rare group. And please, I beg you, make Zack get a haircut!!
Great hunt you put together . Hard work pays off. I enjoy watching all your videos. You really shot nice quality bucks !! Thanks for sharing !!! Happy New Year
I must say that u guys are superb. U give us average hunters hope. No high fences, not paying for “made deer”, just plain sweat n miles on your feet. I’m from Maryland and I wish you guys could try our public areas and show me what I’m doing wrong. Stay safe n Happy Holidays
I hunted with a rifle as a kid but it was an old Winchester 30/30 with open sights. The areas we hunted in Missouri were thicker timber and shots were usually close (within 100 yards) so the open sights worked great. Started bowhunting at a young age also. We like bow and gun all the same. Whatever gets us in the woods!
i noticed when a deer is hit they start to wag their tail frequently very time as they walked away... every deer that's hit regardless of weapons used..
Great video! I have watched and re-watched so many of your videos. I'm addicted to your channel! Suggestion... as an avid hunter myself, I always like to walk through the shot (the placement, what vitals may have been hit and direction of arrow/bullet travel). I think that really helps all of us have a better understanding of how to approach the situation after the shot. I wish all hunting videos did this, as it would help so many hunters that do not quite understand how it all works. Some may think it's too graphic to discuss, but I think it's important. Keep up the great work!!
Congratulations Wrab on that Stud
Mindy helps drag you guys deer. Makes you guys food. When will we see her on a buck hunt. Seems like a great woman Greg. Appreciate her more you guys.
Great hunt and show guys.
Sweet nice buck grate video later thanks
3 years later they still hunting that buck nest!! What up guys form 3 years ago
Are you guys shooting a Thompson Center Impact? I shoot Blackhorn 209 and nearly not as much smoke. We hunt similar river bottoms on the east coast but our rivers are tidal rivers, so we have to account for high tides which is sometimes at primetime during legal shooting hours.
Great outcome...y'all are my favorites...but why in gosh's name did you not shoot at 5:40??
Great hunt guys ....Awesome job !!
How did you miss the deer jump straight when the bullet hit him !!!!!!!
I've watched this hunt about four times. Never gets old. Greg and Aaron, you guys put out top notch content on the Toobz. I appreciate you stopping to talk about the terrain, plant species, and other things that most other hunting channels don't waste time with.
That double up hump observed indicates a classic heart shot..if you got a minute, tell us if it was indeed a heart shot..thanks and good huntin'!
Late season especially when snow on the ground and cold it's called trading up if you see one you'll see 20 to 30 all together
Yarding up
Fun hunt, gentlemen. This is exactly the style of hunting that I do every year. Ground set, late season, muzzleloader on a stick, sniper style.

A bunch of killers, you guys are awesome!
Can you do a video of how you are packing your sticks and your stands together and making it easy to get in, hang, and get out?
Pickle weed is what we call it here in MI at least that what it looks like. Great hunt again changing conditions. Honey hole!!!
Did you guys ever figure out the name of the plant those deer were feeding on
Would also like to know that, probably a little late to ask now.
What a great video. Tons of great lessons: 1.Hunting in bitter cold pays off. 2. Deer don't always "act" like they are hit when they get shot. 3. Deer don't always leave a blood trail, especially with thick winter coats on. 4. Mindy is the muscle behind the deer drag. 5. Rabbit hats can go bald. Great season gentlemen.

Thanks John!
If I were actually the muscle behind the drag we would still be in the woods getting that thing out, but thanks for the vote of confidence ;)
The Hunting Public d
Nice job boys!
You guys put out the best videos out there great job
Thanks Jason!
Great job gentlemen! That is a hard earned buck.
Great hunt. I talked to you guys at the ATA and told you how much I enjoyed watching spring thunder/Midwest whitetail and last night I stumbled across this channel. I’m glad you guys are doing your own thing now. Get a stick about 6 feet long and run it through that rope on the sled. 2 people can hold on and make the drag easier. Keep it up

Congrats on a great buck. Absolutely love your videos. Down to Earth hunting at it's finest.
Thanks Scott!
Just started binge watching these videos, you guys have a great thing going. Very cool.
Please don't change!! Great videos. I love the "no lame music" and straight up hunting you guys do. You also teach along the way. Was that buck hit a little far back or no? Hard to tell from video.
Joe P thanks! The bullet went in mid body around the last rib and came out right behind the off shoulder.
Perfect. Looked like a fun, cold hunt. Like the beard-cicles! : )

That was cool, interesting to see he was still kinda chasing that doe. He was a die hard chasing till the end! Awesome season guys!
Congrats Aaron and team THP! Was that tall goofy 8 Greg had on trail cam from last year the same buck that squirted out the backside during Zach's hunt this year?
Thanks! Yes it very well could be.
What was the exact plant species the deer were eating on, did anyone ever find out?
Great season and good to see all you guys hang it out for each other. Looking forward to next year's collection.
Hey what kind of bipod is that because I hunt public land a bunch on the ground and with a gun. I need one. What’s the best one?
Thumbs up
another awesome video! i always look forward to the new videos The Hunting Public uploads!
Do you guys ever deer hunt at night?

Another great hunt! That's been a great spot this season. Looking forward to the turkey hunts!
Yeah it was a cold late season. O-fer 116 for me. Straight got too picky this year. Oh well , next year. But great job guys persistence paid off.
Awesome job! That's how hunting is supposed to be. Hard work pays great rewards!
Nice late season buck. I'm hoping to have the same success with my bow this weekend in Illinois.
Messed up how I watch him take this shot without hesitation or question, but if he was there and anyone else was behind the trigger, he would start his, "ole I wouldn't take that shot I'd let him get closer" bullshit that I just watched him so to Ted the video I just watched prior to this...

what gun are you using
TC Impact w/Vortex scope
The Hunting Public thanks
What caliber gun is that?
When I cut my teeth everyone smoked cigarettes, 1970s .. I was told once you made a shot sit and smoke a cigarette.. Then walk to where you last made the shot, never trust your eyes..

Thanks Marty! That's great news. Good luck to you both. Hope she gets her first deer in 2018!
You guys are awesome great videos
Thanks Jason!
Glad Aaron finally wrapped a tag around a buck!! Great hunt!
Great buck, where did the shot end up hitting? Good cal backing out it looks like.
taco bell the bullet entered right behind the last rib and hit off the shoulder at a quartering away angle.
Just curious, how old did you and Greg think this 8 pointer was?
Great job to you and your crew. Thank you for the quality videos and keeping them free and fun to watch for everyone. I am looking forward to more videos and podcasts. 👊
Much respect for you guys going out on your own and with all your hard work putting together a great season and a great series.
Looking forward to much more in the future. Congrats to the whole gang.
Thank you Don
Been catching up with all your videos. This has got o be one of my favorites. Not sure why, but just a dandy buck, and the friendship etc. Great job guys keep the content coming
i've been following your entire season here, waiting for you to bag a nice one. Congratulations! Nice Buck!
A "smitty sled" would make it a lot easier to pull....super easy and cheap to make. NIce work guys...I look forward to your videos.
It is 180 days until the 2018 TN deer season opens. This video just got me excited for that morning.
Great job of filming, editing and tracking. I enjoyed. I subscribed and will watch many more!
i know you keep telling us you don't know what plant that is but i hope this spring you find out and share it with us
We are looking into it now and will have an answer for everyone soon.
It's called Arrowhead plant or "duck potato".
Awesome job! Definitely let us know when you figure out what that plant is.
Will do. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages these next few days. We will post an answer there.
Best deer hunting show out there. Very informative and you guys clearly hunt hard and know your stuff. Are you going to continue into shed hunting and Turkey season?
Thanks Gavin! Yes we are
Gavin Thomas u are correct. A lot of hard work n miles. Totally awesome hunters
Danny Starliper Every year I say I'm going to get serious about public land hunting but I never do lol. I find some good sheds on the one close to me though but rarely deer hunt it.

So I don't complain about not seeing or killimg big ones. Can't wait to shed hunt and Turkey season is my favorite. Good luck you guys.
Congratulations, I've always had blood trail issues with my 50 cal muzzle loader even on a perfect shot very little blood.
I know I'm late watching these. These guys are awesome ambassadors. Thanks. Does the sound of really cold snow underfoot make anyone else cringe? That sound is like nails on a chalkboard.
Awesome buck! I have a love-hate relationship with ultra cold late season hunts.
Thank you Gentlemen and Mrs. Clements for such a quality program. I first found you guys on Spring Thunder years ago and then through MW. I don't know what your plans are for the future, but I selfishly hope you are able to keep the show as much like this past season as you possibly can. I am sure the cost of your equipment is high and you all need to make a living, but the simplicity and reality of your approach is refreshing in a day when everything in hunting seems to be super commercialized.

If I had only one hunting show to watch, it would be yours. Keep up the good work guys -- you are an exceptionally rare group. And please, I beg you, make Zack get a haircut!!
Thanks Stephen!
what part of the country are you hunting in?
The elephant in the room = where did you hit it?
Matthew Norris bullet entered right behind the last rib and hit off the shoulder at a quartering away angle.
Once again amazing video. Best channel on youtube. Really hope u guys are planning on having some turkey videos this spring!
Great hunt you put together . Hard work pays off. I enjoy watching all your videos. You really shot nice quality bucks !! Thanks for sharing !!! Happy New Year
Where did you hit him?
BangFlop the bullet entered right behind the last rib and hit off the shoulder at a quartering away angle.
So where’d you hit him? Low heart?
I must say that u guys are superb. U give us average hunters hope. No high fences, not paying for “made deer”, just plain sweat n miles on your feet. I’m from Maryland and I wish you guys could try our public areas and show me what I’m doing wrong. Stay safe n Happy Holidays
Thanks Danny! We'd love to try them someday and just might.
Danny Starliper - couldn’t have said it better!
I'm a md hunter took my first deer off a public land check the area out first and go where others dont
Great buck on plubic. Why is that the first deer with a scoped gun? Just like bow hunting more?
I hunted with a rifle as a kid but it was an old Winchester 30/30 with open sights. The areas we hunted in Missouri were thicker timber and shots were usually close (within 100 yards) so the open sights worked great. Started bowhunting at a young age also. We like bow and gun all the same. Whatever gets us in the woods!
What river bottom is that ?
Just curious. I'm not coming 800 miles to hunt your spot!
i noticed when a deer is hit they start to wag their tail frequently very time as they walked away... every deer that's hit regardless of weapons used..
I don’t think it’s public land
It is. That's all we hunt for the most part
8:57 that deer trying to square up
