Iowa Public Land Tank Of A Buck! Shawn's Iowa Dream Hunt! 

Quick Tip. We always remove and throw away the straps to our trail cams and replace them with rubberized wire that you can buy at Tractor supply or any hardware store. The strap is always the give away for thieves on the lookout. We also carry one step so we can get the camera high enough we’re people can’t mess with it and deer aren’t bothered by it. Thanks for a great video.

I always appreciate the cinematic story y’all present us. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. Keep it up guys!

Best hunting videos out there!! Miles ahead of everyone else.

Great video and hunt as always guys. Awesome buck, Shawn! Thanks for bringing some full content back to a free platform like RU-vid. Missed seeing you guys!

I too am about to start a journey for public land giants, it's a true grind of early season scouting and putting in the miles, on foot and in truck! And always the fear of someone finding your spot and over hunting or just stealing your gear! Great hunt, and thanks for the inspiration and motivation to stay true to the course for success!

One thing I like about public is feeling like you're hunting old school cause you really don't have a knowledge of all the bucks in the property or know how they use the property. Great videos as always

I love hunting a new area, scouting is fun and figuring out the deer pattern. Then when you see a deer on the stand you did your job. Enjoyed the video

Moved from PA to IA a year ago Sept 22. Definitely living a whitetail dream. Had same emotions hunting public. A year wiser this year. Looking for bigger this year. Congratulations, cool hunt.

I like using bankline to tie on trail cams , a thick strap gives them away, use a Canadian jam knot

No clue AT ALL why yall dont have more followers. One of the best hunting channels on youtube!

I have had similar success hunting public land close to the parking areas or a road. Like you said if the deer sign is there, trust it. Enjoyed the hunt.

I love it, real world hunting. Keep it up!

Fantastic! Congrats! I have 6 points currently and am planning my journey for next season.

Solid video guys, thanks for sharing the tactics

Man that video didn’t disappoint at all! Congratulations

Love it. This type of cinematic, voiceover but still some talking head style is where it's at. Not too much treestand whispering which is very played out.

Nice one great video

How come I never saw a video where the hunter only wounds the buck, and never finds it?

Great video. Congratulations.

It's a great video.

Nice buck and good hunt!

im in iowa its always yote season when on stand. great vid.

i was chasing a buck on public that had several different beds for different winds that all had a clear line of sight to the access where everyone parks he was a big 10 pointer. i got tired of playing cat and mouse with him and moved on. that was a few years ago so i doubt hes alive anymore but i wouldnt be suprised if another buck is doing the same thing in the area. im sure they do that more then you would think.

Love this content. I know you guys are great hunters but its nice to see you try public even tho its iowa

😂😂 that coyote listens better than my neighbors 3 dogs combined.

$2000 bow setup and hunting out of a Chinese treestand lol. Congrats on a nice buck!

Great deer I don’t get that lucky by parking lots lol congratulations

Wow when I seen you setting up with the same heavy sticks that I use I couldn't believe my eyes ,thought okay maybe I didn't make a mistake purchasing them. This is the only way I hunt blind in with no camera. KISS method

Good video man! Hi from iowa. It's good to throw in some ground noise when rattling. deer aren't silent out there when they are moving around especially when jostling. They usually tickle their antlers for a few minutes as opposed to full on fighting immediately

Either that’s a lucky shot or your from TN and we call that a TN heart shot

Do you soak your rattling antlers in water to keep that natural sound? DeerHuntingNC

Nice buck man congrats, sometimes you gotta do what you don't see others doing even if it seems crazy

Glad you showed how to do it ghe tight way instead of those guys walking all around with arrow lock n loaddd spooking all the deer

Congratulations ! , But I don't understand... walking around Oct. 28 in Iowa, without your Bow ??? W.T.? ... I learned over 40 years ago from "Uncles" Barry & Gene, "Always be prepared for an Opportunity" What would you have done, when the Biggest Buck you ever saw in your Life, came walking by, at 20 yards ?? L.O.L's. I NEVER go in the woods , during open season, without my Bow .I shot one of my biggest bucks,from the ground, walking in to my stand, at 2:00 in the afternoon, because I was "Prepared for an Opportunity", by practicing shooting my Bow, with my Backpack and Tree-stand on. Show me a Hunter, who's Prepared for an Opportunity, And I'll show you someone who's real 'Lucky"

I’ve been hunting Iowa first shotgun season with my preference points I’ve built up for the last 3 seasons. Through an outfitter, I’ve had great success. Awesome state to hunt big whitetails. I’d rather hunt with the bow, but if I can hunt Iowa every year with a shotgun, heck I’ll deal with it. Nice buck bud 🤘🇺🇸

What lock on is this ?

Do you rattle with gloves on or off? Hard to tell at the 8:53.

Bought my first point this season! See in yall in 5 years maybe??

If you want to challenge how mentally tough you are, don't use cameras. And a added benefit is you won't have anxiety about someone stealing them.

What Zone?

What broadhead do you use?

What garmin watch is Shawn wearing?

You lost me when you passed the pasture poodle. Its funny how guys want to revert back from cell cameras or cameras at all. You might be hunting on public land but i just dont feel the appeal your looking for . Coming from a true blue public hunter. As always wonderful camera and computer work tho 🤙

Your saftey harness strap is either not attached or WAY too loose. That would hurt.

spoiled ... lol.. try hunting public in Michigan, northern public land.... Gd luck gettin a mature buck..

Runt…

I watched your full video. Congratulations on the nice deer but I don’t think I will watch any more of your content. Letting that coyote go was not acceptable

Luckiest shot I’ve seen. Why does everyone with a RU-vid channel shoot like crap? 9/10 shots are total garbage. If I had a channel, I’d be embarrassed to post this, let alone tell anyone. Hit the archery range boys.

You gave the hunt away in the first 24 seconds! No sense in watching!

Wow anyone catch the rattling scene he's wearing gloves up Close then he's not lol wtf

2020??...

so many hacks.....you ain't one 😊

All u hunt RU-vid channels are all the same all out west where there is giants that run around everywhere lol i gotta start filming in pa and show ya how real hunters hunt

Have 7 points may have to cash them in next year. Used to have some private to hunt but was sold so gonna have to make the public land journey

Country cabins, nice! Great video y’all!
