Great video guys!!
I'm 51 and I've been watching hunting videos since they were on VHS. I've seen them all, but by far and above yours are the best I've seen. Your passion for hunting and appreciation for these animals is a thing of beauty. Shoot straight my friend. Thank you for sharing your memories.
My friend I am 61 years old and I've been pursuing my passion of deer hunting for over 50 years. I have hunted with a lot of people and no one I hunted with shared the passion as I did. It was my life. Watching you pursuing charlie I see the same passion in you. When we pick out a deer to pursue he becomes a part of us. I'm disabled now and not able to get as involved with the one on one pursuit like I've done my whole life but I still get out there scout as much as I can, put out my camera's, which is very addictive I should say, put up a blind because I can't use a deer stand anymore, and sit with child like anticipation waiting and watching. God has really been great to me. I was saved in 1985. He changed my life and my hunting passion became more so real because I saw God in his creation like never before. Keep putting him first in all you do, be a witness to everyone you meet and you will not be able to contain the blessings he has for you. Thanks for sharing your passion with an old worn out broke down deer hunter may God bless you tremendously.
That was such an amazing tribute to a beautiful animal. The honor and respect you gave Charlie speaks highly of your character. Great video
@Nikolai Krause '26 no u
This motivated me to focus more on this deer I’ve been after for two years. Hopefully this is the year
Liam Diffee good luck man. I hope you get him!
Any luck brother?
Did you get him
We need an update!
Okay so what happened with the deer
I can’t be the only one guy who got chills when he released that arrow!? Great video great series great everything. Thank you guys for sharing
I can't believe you guys dont have more subscribers, got into bowhunting on public land near St. Louis 2 years ago. Going to check into suburban hunting rules, regulations etc. We have a HUGE suburban population that stretches across 5 counties and miles and miles of people's backyards. Y'all are a huge inspiration and put out some of the best bowhunting content that highlights the need for what you do and also the respect you give the deer that you take. Keep it up. I figured this would be the best video to leave my comment appreciating your channel. Thank you for putting out the content that you do, and taking the time to inadvertantly teach someone like me with little experience but a passion for hunting.
Man your ability to tell a story is simply spiritual. The emotion you share with us is contagious brother and I can only pray that people who aren't deer hunters can somehow feel the passion and love that we feel when we're in the woods. Thank you so much for pouring your soul into what you do! Good luck out there this 2019-2020 season!
Thank you for putting this together for us. Powerful, just powerful.
i have been waiting for a new upload! love the content, please post more
I grew up in the outskirts of Atlanta. I did quail hunting and never thought about deer. Now I live just outside DC and the deer are everywhere. Their racks are small and some people call them basket racks. I don't do any hunting now but watching Charlie's Story brought the feeling back. Thank you.
Basket racks are when their antlers are almost touching and look like a basketball hoop
Absolutely amazing, a deer like that, with charisma like that, molds an outdoorsman more than anything. I loved it. Keep up the amazing work.
This is the video that motivated me to really start to take my deer hunting seriously, and to try and get my own big buck. Thank you for this story and for deepening my passion for hunting.
Bro you make the best hunting videos on KZhead hands down!!!! Shit got me feeling like I’m there and going through this journey! Amazing story to this deer that started it all!
That summer footage is unreal and so much good footage!!! Amazing story!!
Putting a story like that into perspective was just done by YOU Sir. It was like being right there with you, feelings and ALL. I just ran across your KZhead page today, combing through some hunting videos etc. This has got to be one of the BEST I have had the pleasure of watching. To help explain to others what it is like to hunt one of GODS most beautiful creatures, especially one of that caliber. I had to explain it like this! My Daughter was recently married in July of 2022, I remember my Wife talking with some of our friends one day and telling them how she could not wait until the upcoming Saturday to go with our Daughter to try on her wedding dress. I saw the excitement, the happiness, the joy, in her eyes and heard it in her voice. I sat there listening to her and watching others as she told them how she just couldn't wait. As we were driving home later that evening, I said to her! You know when you were telling everyone how you just couldn't wait to go with Kaylee to try on her dress? She replied "YA", I said that feeling you had the moment you were telling it, the joy, the anticipation etc, she said "YA", I said that is how I feel the day before I head to the woods to hunt for "Curly" or "Stud Muffin". Great story and video, keep them coming!
Great video! Great buck, especially with a bow! You are a true hunter and sport! Hard work and dedication pays off! Couldn’t also help but notice the wrist band! John 3:30 - “He must become greater; I must become less.”” Keep it up brother!
No matter how many times I watch this hunt it amazes me every time. I’ve never been so happy about someone getting their deer as I am seeing you all.
You guys have got it figured out! Couldn’t tell your story any better in my opinion !!! Thanks for the great entertainment!
Without a doubt one of the best stories I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking us all along on the journey of a lifetime. Awesome buck man.
@53 I just started hunting 4yrs ago, taken two does and took my first buck a small 9, 3 yrs ago with my oldest son in the stand with me, very close to my heart it could have been a doe it didn't matter I was with my son, and he had been the one pushing me into hunting. I've wanted to in the past but the Military and life got in the way. Started Bow Hunting 2yrs ago killed a doe. It has became a little obsession of mine now but the place I've been hunting has dried up, you guys have shown me that there is an alternative now. I expect there is no info on what you guys do, time to start learning. Thank you guys for the inspiration, GOD Speed!!!!
Most motivational video I have seen for myself I hunt in pa and I mostly hunt big lands but this year we have been seeing a 150’s plus deer around our home and we live 100yds away from a amusement park in the center of a city I love these vids because it shows that is is possible, and very educational on how to hunt the buck of your dreams thank you very much keep up the amazing work and good luck on future seasons!
Hands down the most AMAZING whitetail videos and stories out there in the industry today. There is tons of content out now but you guys hit it so differently. Your emotions are real and intense, the quality of the video is amazing, your attention to detail is unreal. The music just brings it all together perfectly. You guys completely amaze me and I look forward to your uploads like a kid waiting for christmas.
Gaffneydaniel92 this is awesome
Same here!!
I can’t lie I’ve never been too big on still hunting but watching these videos and seeing the effort y’all put into these deer and just the pure reactions from finally being able to take these deer makes me want to start still hunting just to bait my own deer watch these deer grow and just enjoy what I do, damn good video y’all keep it up
I absolutely love Seek Ones approach to creating videos about the effort, more so than the kill, the journey as opposed to the reward. I burned out watching “hunting” videos years ago because it was all about sponsorship and the primary focus was the kill. Thanks for renewing my passion for the type of video/story that I love. Congratulations !
Man that story was awesome ! I love the fact they you dedicated yourself for so long to one deer. To me that’s what the obsession is ! Great video Great story !
Great job with this take going over the sentimental value of the deer before the hunt, a meaningful message made it more interesting! Keep it up!
That was an emotional memory it even got to me I know what it’s like to have sit after sit after sit and then it all comes together it is amazing thank you guys keep up the great videos and hunts
Thanks for putting a smile on my face for today. Absolutely love everything about this. Stories like this are what drive me as a hunter. That is feeling I am after every day and every hour i dedicate to pursuing big whitetails.
Can not explain how much I love these videos! I have so much respect for y’all and want to see much more!! Excellent work! I feel your passion and have the same passion for deer! Best videos on KZhead and better then any on tv!!
What an Amazing story on a absolutely gorgeous whitetail!! Congratulations and keep up the great work!
27:52 is such a awesome shot ive never seen anybody film like that before
Just wanted to let you know as far as i am concerned y'all are the best out there!!! Love the passion and drive that you show and actually telling the story of the deer. Keep up the great work!!! Totally awesome!!! You guys are great.
I have been waiting on this for so long! Absolutely love it
Amazing buck and a terrific job of telling the saga in both words and visuals. God bless.
Great work, I'm 48 this is my first bow hunt season. Finally got permission on a property close to home. Thanks for these videos it gives me confidence with all my practicing and scouting it pays off for me. Thanks for glimpse of your faith GODSPEED come on September 14. Love Ga.
Just understand, this is a slow build. The rewards come after years of hunting and patience. That's why it's so worth it.
Best video and story EVER!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this again!!! FANTASTIC GUYS!
Such a passionate video! Truly inspiring, hearing you mention the circumstances you overcame with him loosing his rack or being denied permission to hunt with that firm "no" really does show what it takes to be able to have the chance to take such a spectacular animal. Too many of the big name channels on youtube seem to almost void showing truly what goes into getting deer like this and nonetheless you do it in the suburbs of Atlanta. This is the first video of yours I've watched but I will be watching the rest. Thank you for sharing your story and for what it means you've lit the flame inside of me to work up the courage to knock on a few doors for this up and coming season.
I love your urban hunting vids to me this the real world of hunting for most of us that live in the suburbs please don’t change anything this is the way these magnificent animals should be showcased thanks for all u do.
Been following since the beginning, what a awesome story. I have family near Atlanta, almost came down last year to hunt some, but ended up staying in Kentucky to hunt.
Please post more!🙏😩 these are the best videos on KZhead thank you so much !!
I thought that the arrow had bounced off his back, even in slow mo. Great deer!!
Same, I feel like they are leaving out part of the story, because that arrow definitely went over his back, at most grazing it.
Look really closely, it went in his back
it went through
So glad I found you guys, love how you put God first and give him all the Glory, we are nothing without him. He gives us our passions and desires, you guys are so passionate and I absolutely love the stories. Thanks for letting us tag along.
As a new hunter stating out this year , I'm so glad I found you guys! The passion is almost contagious just by watching. I've gained permission to hunt a untouched property up in TN that is looking great on trail cameras!
By far the best footage of the passion one has for hunting. Definitely won me over
its now 1:34am... I watched this video just over ten hours ago as inspiration before I went for my evening hunt. The hunting app I use said it was an 11 out of 100 for good hunting. I went anyways. I am happy to say that I just shot my number one hit list buck at my grandparents 80 acre property! "Tiny is down!" It is my biggest buck with a bow to date and second biggest buck overall. I'm stoked! Thanks for the motivation and inspiration!
Awesome video guys! As somebody who hunts the suburbs totally can relate to what yall go through. God Bless
What an awesome story for a mega giant buck. Congratulations on a fine buck. Keep the videos coming. Hope 23, 24 season will be a great one.
What an inspirational story guys! Love it! This way beyond just going to pull a trigger! This is real world hunting. I’m not knocking mainstream outdoor channels, but by far this beats any tv show I have ever watched! Definitely subscribed and a huge fan! Keep it up!
Every minute of this was worth watching! Subscribed! Absolutely amazing video!
Truly incredible footage. That whole scene where you stand up to take the shot and those red maple leaves are popping was such an awesome picture. I love what you guys are doing and I think you are awesome ambassadors for Christ and for hunters across the country!
I just recently discovered your videos. This was AMAZING!! You guys do such a great job and are really just an inspiration. Thank you for sharing these awesome stories!!
Great video guys...really got me pumped for the upcoming season!!!...only the true hunters understand the passion of the hunt....its not the destination....its the journey.
Amazing video man. Keep up the good freakin work man. Like I’ve never even watched your channel and it came up on my recommended and gosh I feel like I know you and that deer better😂
I live and hunt in Ga myself about 47 miles from Atlanta and its awesome to see these amazing giant whitetail's come from right down the road.
The most incredible story I have ever seen, thank you for sharing brother
Absolutely love all of your videos. Amazing footage and amazing deer. I hunt just south of you guys in Clayton county. Some good bucks running around here but nothing like what roams around in Fulton Dekalb and even Cobb county. Keep up the great work and god bless my friend
Im about 45 minuets north of Atlanta in Buford, and I've seen one buck on my small patch of land I bow bunt. It's crazy to think there's deer of this caliber where you're at. Great job
Good stuff guys. Haven’t been real motivated to to hunt this year since I lost some of my best property, but this lit the fire right back in me. Awesome footage and story.
This is very inspiring. I am more of a turkey Hunter but it shows that spending that extra time will pay off. Thank you for this video.
Grew up hunting in Fulton, your video makes me homesick. I can’t get out of Japan fast enough. Great vid.
Haha im in the same position rn brother.. covid isn't helping
Amazing story and a well put together video. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
This is one of the most beautiful story I've heard in a long time please never stop and keep them coming I'm your subscriber for life
Best KZhead channel ever, you guys are great hunters and great people!
Man, just found Seek One and watched the story of Charlie. Wow it was cool. Felt like I was part of the journey and was happy for you when you got him. Very cool video. I live in the burbs of Indianapolis and haven’t been able to find hunting land for 15 years near me. Keep going back to family land in WI to hunt each year. But you now got me energized to go knock on doors and try to get permission to hunt near me. Thanks guys and God bless.
Just watched the video on Charlie. Awesome buck!! I love the respect and passion these guys have for these great animals. Have hunted suburban deer since I was 12 and I just turned 56. These deer live very tough lives. Hunters are conservationists. But every Hunter is not one.Its not just about the harvest. Give back to the game u hunt. Because u never know when it could come to a end.
When I want to watch some deer hunting I always go to your channel when I’m itching for the next season. I feel that if I didn’t grow up In the outdoors I would of still found my way back to it and love it as much as I do now I love everything about what you do and love the videos and can’t forget about the freaking monsters you put in the dirt.
Y’all paint a great picture of the hunt of a specific buck. I’ve lived in Atlanta my whole life and went to Grayson high school! Much love to you guys!
You guys are my never ending netflix series. Can't wait for hunting season not only to hunt but watch SEEK ONE!
you guys are just beyond wow or words . awesome buck an even a better story , please … please keep them coming . great work an god bless .
I keep coming back to this video after watching probably 30+ times. I love watching you guys and learning form y’all. I have been able to relax and let God take the reigns. The woods are my happy place even if I am not killing deer of this caliber. Love you guys keep it up!
I absolutely love yalls enthusiasm
I love watching your videos. I like how you tell the whole story and how you put the time in for your deer.
This is what us hunters live for the pursuit. An in the end, if God willing the harvest. From one hunter to another this is awesome. I could actually feel it, I myself have followed the same deer for multiple years unfortunately my story ended with finding him dead after a winter freeze this last winter. Thanks for sharing!!!!
So inspiring! I can’t wait to get in the stand this season!
Awesome story. Blows me away those caliber of deer live in Atlanta. Congratulations.
Love it, Thanks for sharing the story and your pursuit of that beautiful buck! Congrats!
Everything was beautiful about this video. Congratulations!
Fabulous story and videography. I also love the passion and relationship you developed with the property owners. Their grace in allowing us to hunt is something I never take for granted. Good luck for the coming year.
The didn’t look like it hit him
He didn't... I slowed it down to .25 speed and the buck jumped it, arrow flew right over his back. Now I'm interested in what actually happened, because clearly the footage they showed here wasn't the actual shot but one that missed.
AK yea that’s weird I knew it didn’t hit him lol
Nope I slowed it down, look closely it hit under his spine, got the artery and deflected upwards, looks like a miss but I assure you it’s not
Kaden Brink ur right I just slowed it down and it did hit him
i had to screen record and watch it in slow motion. he hit it high lung below the spine
Hey bro I’m only 11 but that’s my favourite story ever he’s yours you deserve him and just the way you fed him so he could get bigger is amazing to me and I hope when I’m older I’m like that your an amazing inspiration and keep putting god first and what he does and that stuff happens
Great shot. Love the childlike excitement when you find it.
Great content...been watching your videos for a long time. Can’t wait to see you collab with Rob this fall! Any word on what happened to Tyson??
My husband and I enjoy watching your videos and it is evident that you have a true passion for the sport, all while giving God the glory! Great story, beautiful videography! Definitely Film Festival Worthy!
Thanks. I really have enjoyed watching every one of the videos y'all have pushed out.
Man that’s awesome, congrats on all your deer. Just found your videos scrolling and they are great!! Keep it up!
Awesome video, persistence payed off. Love your passion for the deer, good luck this year.
if youve watched the fishing video with Rob from lunkerstv weve had a sneak peak of the trophy room !! great video, wish we could see all the video on charlie !!! love the videos !! god bless!!
I'm so excited about a new story keep up te amazing work guys
Absolutely an amazing story!
Really cool way to tell this story. I think this made it an even better story, having the commentary to go with it.
I feel like I've been waiting forever for your next giant buck video! What an amazing story and i can not wait till the next story of a monster buck is up on your channel!
Great video. Wish you luck upcoming hunts and keep up the great work !
Great story man keep up the good work this definitely motivated me !!
Thank you for the story, thank you for the videos, and thank you for being you, being real.
Great great story...really enjoyed seeing behind the scenes how it all came together and the passion you have for what you’re doing!
You have inspired me as a georgia boy to now try to share my stories. To try to do this as well. I've had the passion as you do since I was 3 years old. I only hunt archery. I now live in Minnesota and have two plots over 140 acres that are farm land. I have two bucks over 14 I am growing now. I teared up to this video. Bc the passion is so real and true. I wish I could have the resources you have to do suburban hunts but I dont right now. But I respect you so much Thank you for this Chris.
I’ll be honest. I teared up abit that was awesome
Hey I'm 13, I have always wanted a bow since I started watching your videos, I actually got a bow for my birthday I have been obsessed with my bow, you have really inspired me.
As you said I’m one of those hunters that want to hunt but I’m worried I won’t find somewhere to hunt. And I’m still young in high school. But in this video like you said it encourages me to go find somewhere and don’t be afraid to knock on someone’s door and find a place to hunt. But Thank you for what you do as a hunter and also your videos are very interesting and encourage people to do wise and Godly things 🙏🏽🦌❤️
