Opie and Tex hit the woods on October 7th and take down an early season Stud buck. Always a blast when you get em close and this bruiser came in to 4 yards.
I've been hunting in many states, but there is nothing like the woods of Michigan. Simply the most beautiful of all woods. The smells, the colors, the taste of the crisp fall air.... nothing compares.
love the video... u guy got what it takes to make great videos. like that one guy said dont listen to any of this other guys telling you how make a video. this one was perfect, no hard music not alot of talking just straight raw video.
IMPRESSIVE! Thank you for keeping it natural without the moronic head-banger music and mindless digital video effects that the so called professionals inundate their work with these days. Great ambient audio makes this even better. As a 30 year veteran of industrial/commercial video production and bow hunting you guys got it right. DO NOT change your style, no matter what any idiot, half-wit, 30 something marketing expert tells you. Congrats, I'm hooked-a subscriber!
That bad boy was so close that you could have jumped out of your tree and on its back and held on for 8 seconds. Great work! Season opens here in Missouri next week. I can't wait! I'll be out there trying to get one with velvet.
4 Yards pop one in the boiler room and a clean pass through at that. It's great when a couple of mates can go out early and git up a tree one film and one shoot. I had fun watching, you guy's were having a laugh, good hunt, cheers from Oz.
+George Adams yup....still a very young deer and has great genetic..if that was my property i wouldn't take him yet...give him time and food then he'll be a monster in 2yrs..but if that was his first bow deer then it's understandable..
alot of respect for bow hunters. Im still working on how to get them to come close enough to get a shot. I cant even get a doe within 30 yards before they scent me or see me and haul. nice work.
spray down with good scent blocker. Also if you are hunting in a tree make sure you have good camo and have a little bit of cover in front of yourself or if you dont have a treestand get a good groundblind and put brush on it to cover it up oh and wear black facepaint or a mask for either way of hunting it takes the glare out of your face
Ryan Monroe The best thing to smell like in the deer woods is nothing! Wash yourself and your clothes with scentless soap, use the scent killer on everything (bow, bags, hat boots, etc...) Put yourself down wind of the trail if possible. Move cautiously as if you were being watched at all times. Use any attractant that is legal in your state. I like to mix up a package of strawberry Koolade and pour it all over the tress 20 yards out.
Hi Hans, regulations are way more lax here in the states. Look up Michigan DNR for deer hunting rules. I just hunted with a friend from Germany in Michigan last November. We had a great deer camp. You should come try it.
Nice Job! Bowhunting Forever- You are welcome to come to Wyoming and hunt with me any time! And to all you haters- i don't really like pro-wrestling, but i don't go on their fan sites to tell them that- Good For Them! They have something they LOVE! As do we- Bowhunting is a art and a religion to us. Lets see you feed yourself from nature for one day. OR- stay at your murder factory grocery store with your chemical food and stay out of my woods.
+jbolin105 you don't need to be up so high like most hunter do, just as long as you know the wind direction is blowing to..i don't hunt no more than 10' of the ground..i just get up to see and a better view, just as long as you don't position yourself right on the trail or else the deer will look up at you..i killed my 130 class non typical in velvet only at 6 feet high..
+ruam pob I guess if you can get by with it that's fine. Here in the big hills of southern ohio you can never count on the wind. Rule of thumb here is if you dont like the way the wind is blowing just wait about 10 minutes it will change. So it is a lot better to hunt high and be as scent free as possible. I guess after 25 years of hunting around 25 feet it just seems weird to see someone hunt that low.
I hate to bust the bubble but that isn't hunting. when thou are on a reserve with fences and 40 bucks per acre you are bound to get something. yes it was a nice one and a good shot. but in 30 yrs of deer hunting, some in jackson mich. mostly in middle tn. deer like that only get that close to you for a couple reasons. 1 bait everywhere, 2 nowhere else to go ie. not enough room. and 3 accidental. ie. running from another hunter that just closed their truck door 2 miles away. everywhere I've ever been deer aren't stupid . you will hunt religiously for weeks morning and night some full days and you'll be lucky to even see a buck and happy to get a doe. I tagged out almost every season on my bucks most were 6 pt a couple better but limit was 2 and we all went every open season day, rain or shine. one look at your location. Your sitting under afeeder. How do iknow you ask I can count 4 deer stands in the single frame 2 ladder stands and 2 portable. and that is just wit one camera angle lol. what ever floats you boat I guess
+PROJECT TOMORROW Okay I have had many Deer walk within 8 yards of me while hunting from a blind, and there are plenty of other areas for the deer to go which also means there is plenty of room. Where I hunt it is impossible for them to get spooked because the property I hunt is butted up against a property that no one is allowed to hunt. I lay corn year around which you think seems to make them come, and yet on my trail camera I guarantee I can put it in that spot with no corn for three months and deer still come. Fact is it has nothing to do with the corn because if it did I would be tagged out in less than a month. I just now tagged out three months in with only a month to go, and I put a lot of time in. If you think feeding deer is bad well then lets talk about the ones that starve to death! From the sounds of it you are just a jealous hunter that has never gotten this nice of a buck, and the truth is neither have I. I worry about meat in my freezer before I worry about a trophy. I have seen Deer nicer than that this year! So lets just say you really do not know what you are talking about especially when it comes to people hanging multiple stands. They play the wind and walk a specific way to each stand so the wind is in their favor.
Sounds like you hunt pretty poor property. If you property manage it (I.E limiting human scent/disturbance, hinge cutting, food plots, habitat management/creation) you can create a deer Utopia on parcels as small as 3 acres. This video could not be a better example of true hunting.
Andrew Larkin Doesn't matter! So what if yours was bigger? Why not be happy for a successful harvest that will put food on the table? That is what true hunting is about!
I couldn't be so joyous about killing an animal. I would be damn glad of the meat though, & ecstatic if I made such a clean kill. good shot. good kill. hope the venison was damn fine
