The Story Of “Chubbs” | Midwest Whitetail 

I’m 21 right now. Hopefully in 20 years I can be doing the same things y’all are. Y’all are doing and living my dream when it comes to deer management and owning the property to manage deer.

Looks like I'm taking my lunch break at 9am.... Congrats Mike!

That's awsome! Killed my target buck on the 16th of November. 5 years of history it's awsome to kill a buck you've watched year after year I know he was 7.5 if not 8.5 years old. Awesome buck tho congrats on Chubbs!

There’s no better feeling than that man. Bow kill on a target that ran you in circles. My season has been like Jared’s this year. Thanks for bringing us along.

The persistence and the raw emotion after this hunt is truly incredible. Mike I think as a hunter watching what this team does is truly incredible. You guys are always so humble and thankful for the harvest. Thank you to all of Midwest whitetail for being so genuine and real.

That’s a well deserved trophy. I try to keep up with all of you guys much as I can. Keep them great story lines coming. I get to hunt 4 or 5 days a month so I count on y’all for the excitement. Keep up the great work 👍

I’ve been waiting for him to die wand become bacon straps amd knibblets for the next one dude I’m struggling bad to kill a giant I can find nothing and this show and others show me that little ones don’t count but I hunt stateland amd it’s not easy being cheesy to get a giant. Great job and that was so cool.

Man, congratulations brother. What a beautiful farm you have there and a great family. Five kids. Awesome. I have five kids too!

You've got MIKE the man 😁and you've got JARED the man MILLS 👨 awesome video MIKE buddy 😊 CONGRATS 👍

Great story! Great scouting! Great editing! Great filming! Great shot! I'm sorry to introduce score here but.... he has to push 195"- 203"?! Congratulations to all! PS... I'm still waiting on Jared to make a shot!

Hard work pays off brother. Much deserved. Such a beautiful deer. Congratulations!

Once again Mike gets it done! Midwest whitetail is one of the reasons I started self filming and put together my RU-vid channel! Nice work boys!

Mike Reed and Jared Mills, are my favorite deer hunters, on any and all channels in the media. The authenticity, and passion for the game, is absolutely off the charts!! Awesome hunt! Great story!! Gorgeous deer!!!

Watching your reaction after the shot made me feel like I was in the set with you Mike.Totally Awesome.

Awesome hunt as always. Where do you guys get your music for the episodes? fits so well with everything

Congrats from the father/son that hunt next door. Explains why we didn't see any more pics of this buck!

What I appreciate most is the respect you show the animals, Mike .Job well done , great journey. Always a better story. Congrats

Were you shooting an expandable? On the recovery it looks like you flipped him over so as to not show the minimal penatration!

I’m fortunate enough to hunt like this but after watch you guys vs. THP I think I’m gonna give it up.

I’ve said this before but I just find it so interesting watching how you make your moves and why. It’s such a great learning experience for me and I’m sure anyone who’s paying attention. Congratulations on a well deserved buck. Looking forward to the Dak story.

Congratulations Mike! You guys hung tough for ol chubs. Cool to see how the pecking order moved him around and how you adapted to his non aggressive personality to kill him. Great story. Well done.

Love it I’m 16 and I self bow hunt and I’ve only seen small dudes I live in Kentucky wish me luck 6 days left of gun season here and

Congrats Mike and your cameraman on the great footage and an awesome buck ! Great story behind this buck and happy for you that you were able to harvest your target buck. Well done !

Stud of a buck! Congrats brother!

Awesome buck! Congrats!

Congrats on one helluva buck!!!

Such an interesting emotion. I sense that it is almost sad that it is over. Maybe it is just the background music. I was fighting tears. Congrats my friend.

Congrats Mike! From what I could see 16 points?

Took a couple days longer than I expected...but man you've really threaded some shots though the cover...kinda reminded me of the Gronk shot

Congratulations on an awesome BUCK! It's kinda bitter sweet but I'd have taken the shot after the long chase! Enjoyed the video! God Bless you with many more successful hunts!👍

Gotta applaud the cameraman for getting the shot on camera. I really thought that leaf was going to spoil the footage!

Following the whole time wondering why he is so set on Chubbs? He is one beautiful Buck Mike! Alot like Marino I believe in that he is not the dominant Buck. Congrats Mike

Really cool buck, congrats!

Well Jared your running outta time

Inspiring story….great information….awesome buck!!! Congratulations!!!! 🏹🦌👊🏻

Congrats mike n co.. great buck

That a way to stay after him, nice buck Mike, awesome hunt!! Congrats! 🍻

I can say with certainty.. I never watch videos on RU-vid over 10 minutes long.. but you guys get me everytime..

Way to go Mike, What an impressive buck with a great story. Shows hunting hard pays off!!

Such a well preserved story! Reminds me of Winke and the G5 buck from years ago. I appreciate what you guys on MW do in presenting quality content!

Great buck! Your patients and persistence finally paid off and that’s what made it all come together for you guys. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with your viewers. I take away something new every time I watch your videos. I have a lot of respect for hunters who record and document these deer encounters. I couldn’t imagine it being easy. The content and video footage is awesome! Good shooting and I’m looking forward to watching your future success in the deer woods. Happy hunting!

It's clear you guys have a lot of sweat equity in this whitetail passion, as evidenced by the stains on that ABB hat. 😁👍🏻 Great capture of the story and congrats on the successful hunt and a special buck!

i love these vids!

Fantastic story and deer! You should do a story in the future on that 6x5 featuring the fact that he fought and beat out Chubbs. Both are trophy deer for sure.

Well done he's magical. Couldn't wait for this video. Congrats Mike
