I think the thing I always think about with mechanicals is the trajectory of the arrow AFTER it hits the deer. If only one blade hits the deer, the trajectory going further into the animal is different than where it initially hits. Which it can happen with fixed but less likely.
Cheers from Maine..This is my third year hunting. Shot my first button buck this year. For someone newly obsessed with hunting this podcast is awesome.
LOOK AT THOSE NUTS ! Lmao. Sheep are all horns and nuts
Sometimes you need to do whats morally right even though its illegal and go in at night under the cover of darkness and recover your deer..Its just to recover a deer its not like you are trespassing to do damage .
Unfortunately that’s a big downfall of having this platform we are targeted
You say go in under cover of darkness. Lol. With three or 4 guys using flashlights. You must be one of those guys that go out at night to look for Bigfoot. Lol again.
I tried this. Shot probably my biggest buck the morning before I left to FL for work. Gave him 8 or so hours and tried calling H/O 3 times with no answer or call back so I went in… deep. About 11:00pm we got chased out by some dude holding a lantern running his dogs after us. Lol. I’m assuming he had cell cams cuz we were way way back. I got a text the following week that someone had shot that buck on rifle opener. I looked at the picture and even talked to the dude that shot him. Only 1 hole which is clearly my broadhead hole and the guy got nervous as hell once he found out it was my arrow hole in it. Pretty sure he walked up on a dead buck and said he shot it.
@dionysis84 damn that stinks..Well I'm glad he wasn't shooting at you..
Another great podcast!
Not saying this is the case but by your description I had the exact same scenario this year. I hit a buck at 15 yards. He was slightly quartering to me. I shoot a heavy arrow set up with fixed blades so I put it right on that shoulder knowing I would blow through. Had good blood on impact and a bloody broadhead but fat covered fletchings.tracked him late I to the night with good blood. Went back the next morning and ended up tracking him over a mile. Buck never went to cover or bedded. Assuming shot deflected off of shoulder and went forward. The blood appeared was darker but had bubbles in it. After going over everything with a dog tracker we determined the buck wasn't dead. Sorry you lost that deer.
I had the same thing happen to me this year. It’s killing me. Tracked bubbles for 500 yards. Sounds like the same shot as you. Good luck!
Lmfao 😂. Poor bucks nutsack got ripped 😮 hahahaha. I’m fugging dieing rn
I hit a buck years back that had a lot in common with the buck you hit. Bled awesome for 300 yards, but rather than losing permission, the blood just stopped. I srsrched for two weeks and never came up with anything. Three weeks after the shot, a friend texted me saying he had shot a big buck in the same vicinity. Long story short, it was the same deer. Full of gangrene, chasing does one lung destroyed and somehow narrowly missed the other lung and heart. Worst part of hunting is losing an animal, but they're so driven to survive.
They are just plain tough
The best way to rattle and call in what u call big woods. Would be to sit in or next to brush, rattle while simultaneously kicking your feet and legs in the leaves and throwing a couple grunts in while doing all this. After your done doing that for 20 to 30 seconds. Do a trotting grunt. And wait 15 to 20 min. It works every time
Man nothing better then grunting in a buck in the big woods
Baiting in missouri is off the charts. I would bet theres a bait pile or feeder every 300 acres. I shot one a few years ago that was full of corn and theres no corn fields for 10 miles.
Finally someone agrees with me theres no dead space below the spine. I have had allot of discussions about that.
I disagree. I just got a trail cam video of a buck with a clear arrow wound right below the spine and he's dogging a doe like he's completely healthy. I can sent you the video if you like.
On the corn banning topic a couple weeks ago with Don Higgins, keep pushing secretly or how ever you are pursuing that, you have more support then you think! if it takes 10 years that's fine it will be worth it.
Great episode! Future video idea: could yall get someone on that hunts the south? Someone like Joe miles from Mission Whitetail podcast who owns ASIO camo company. Seems like most hunting content is centered around Midwest/east coast hunters which makes sense but leaves a little to be desired from your southern counterparts!
Have you listen to the southern outdoorsman podcast. If not check them out. they are also on KZhead
@@lloydhatcheriii5515 I’ll have to check them out, thanks!
Here in Arkansas we have a wma the any type of trail camera is not allowed along with e bikes but you can ride 4wheelers but a mile down the road on a different wma it’s all allowed I don’t get it btw Arkansas is a big slept on state for big deer especially east Arkansas love you guys 2 ❤
One educated one barely gets his pants on! You both have value, one just needs a little more book time…..😂
fire works illegal in wisc but you can buy them
so after listening to the pennsylvania law that you stated, does that make lighted nocks illegal too? Or is that on the list of legal things?
Haha nope I bet they aren’t on it either!
This is the same story I was given when I was tracking my deer and drones are not allowed in Pa 😢
Luckily I was able to find a dog tracker who had an awesome dog that was very quiet and we recovered it quietly
Let’s go!
Y’all are “Nutz”! Lol pun intended
Hahaha
Illinois sells bait and mineral blocks but illegal to use them
the drone issue should work with the dnr drone recovery should be a registered and licensed. and sign a pledge that they are only for recovery
Did you recover that buck?
After a year or so of watching this podcast there is definitely something wrong with Jared. Brackett claims he's a power ranger now,lol, but theres definitely wires touching and shorting out, possibly wires missing, i dont know but guy has some issues. It's probably awesome being him but exhausting being around him. It's definitely entertaining
Sometimes I wonder if what we're doing is commoditizing these bucks. Take a step back and ponder that one. Lol, or maybe I'm just tired from the grind. Did 7 all dayers in a row 🦌🦌
I don’t disagree at all
@@HUNTRPOD think that's why I'll end up going 100% trad at some point.
Same here Jer, I have killed twice as many bucks blind calling than calling at one. Primos Buck Roar and can💰
Ohhhhh yea dude
Some studies say 1.5 to 2.5 year old bucks do the majority of breeding.
Simple math says those studies are correct.
They also account for a majority of the deer herd
How'd the dad's do during IL gun season?
Jeremy’s dad passed some 3.5 year olds
Back in 2006 in Illinois I was in a fantastic spot. Nov 6 or 7. Blind rattle like 9 am and boom there he is. A giant world class 6x6 with 8 to 10 inch brows and a 22 to 23 inch spread. I'm standing up and can't move. He is looking for the fight and comes to me ducks under a down tree. I pick up my bow draw and he walks up to 12 yards. I'm aming for the good spot but for some reason he stops mid step and I hit him in the shoulder. I never saw him again..no deer no arrow no blood. Next day grid search I find nothing. 3 years later I was still looking. One of the famous bigtime hunters out there may know of someone who has the deer? That's another story. I know that deer was way over 200 inches. This is before drones and dogs.
Oh my gooooood…yea it’ll make you sick man
Im gonna put up an 8 ft fence...
Another thing. Deer are not blown out to see bowhunters. Because he can avoid this type of hunter with ease. Simply because you are hunting him! He has no problem to stay safe unconcerned about your present.
The John Eberhart comment 😂😂.
Hahaha
Damn this podcast is growing like wildfire
Hahaha Are we?
🤣🤣🤣
Get that Buck!! Bigdickenergonz!!
MSU deer lab found that 80% of the time a doe will prefer the buck with the biggest antlers.
Glad that’s not how it works for humans…or does it 😂
I got thermal busted by a mature buck close last year late season. He blew about 15 times. He hasn't been back to that spot yet and its been about a year 🤣
Hahaha check the F out
@@HUNTRPOD lol, yep! Lesson learned 🦌🦌
Always been told growing up it takes 60 seconds from the blood leaving your heart to re-entering
Dude there’s other uses for corn than deer hunting, that’s why it’s sold. Tractor supply, services farmers and livestock owners lol
Arkansas you can’t buy on sundays And we drive to Missouri for our beer on Sundays
so has you food improved over the years that may be why you 3-4yo are better than your 5yos?
The other problem you guys have is that you use the wrong deer shooting method. You use the broadside shooting technique. Along with grunting or bleeting to stop the deer to get a standing still shot. In doing that you put the deer on high aleart. That you don't want. That is absolutely not the best technique to us. If you stop him with your voice. He stops and quarters to you. Then you shoot him quartering to you. Lending the shot angling backwards behind the shoulder. Lending itself to a gut shot deer. Where there are no vitals. When in fact there is nothing back there to cause a quick human death. It lends itself to deer going on others property that may not let you enter to look for him. Also, the deer travels and hides from you, because he is wounded and is not dead. So you got a deer that is food for coyotes. That broadside shot. Is the one that always ends up for the hunter almost always not recovering wounded deer. If you guys would always take my advice. To take only angling forward shots. Entering behind the front leg towards the opposite front shoulder. Resulting in quick human kills. And short trail jobs. Death occures in about 18 seconds. Bucause this new group of hunters that are such bad shots. When it comes to shooting deer. The angling forward shot tends to hit lungs and heart. It always makes up for poor shooting skills. When your angling 6 inches above the bottom of the deer. Just dont aim too low when making an angling forward shot. Because you are in a freestand. And most of you guys hunt from too high. Meaning your shot, if shooting from such a high position. Will go down and not forward enough to hit lungs and heart. But, only liver. So dont hunt from so high that your target is the size of a postage stamp.
Minnesota you can’t buy alcohol on Sunday
Yes you can they changed that law a few years ago
You use one of the best sight made. The huntig sights made. The HHA. And you dont know how to use. Its made to be shot from exactly know distances. And you miss use it. Using 30 yard pin to shoot a deer at 12 yards. That was simply some knucklehead stuff you did. Thats an HHA sight. Can be set up from 10 to 70 yard's and wit be spot on. You might as well be shooting a stivk bow. Or driving on square wheels. Even better. Try to reinvent the wheel. When that deer was at twelve yards. You could have set the sight and shot him for the exact yardage. Why buy a great sight like that, If you are not going to use it as it was designed?
Love you guys, but going down Jared's rabbit holes with algebra and now human anatomy... Im just speachless 🤕
Hahaha rut brain
No sir. You guys can't hit that 12 to 18 inch spot. Thats my point. You rely on big broadheads. It doesn't matter. If you shoot him with the biggest broadhead. If you gut, shoot him. And thats what you did. You use the big broadhead. You shoot a deer at 12 yards. Using a 30 yard pin. And you dont know where you hit him. But when you say white hair. That came from the low belly or side area . Thats where the white hair is.
Right.. he said at 12 yards and the deer was on a slope + tree stand/saddle that arrow is going to exit low so you’re going to have some white hair potentially
Omg the liver talk was hard to listen to.
They sell trail cameras. You use trail cameras. Its not illegal to use corn as a hunting technique, on private property. Buts its ok to grow food plots? Whats the different in fields of corn, clover. Milo, beets. Dont be a hypocrite. Lol. Smh.
If you wouldn’t use/ pay a Drone to find a doe then save me your ethical argument to not make the animal suffer. Ban drones. And ban cell cameras during season.
You talk about fair chase. But you use trail cameras. Taking away from the deers basic instinks. Such as his ability te see. Hear. And smell you. You hunt him 24 / 7. Without his having any ability to know and protect himself. Where is the ethics and fair chase in that. It's simply none. And should be stopped. And the correct method of shooting deer using only the quartering away method should be used, and taught. To stop all this wounded deer by you guys.
You guys are good hunters but you guys use the wrong hunting techniques. You hunt the deer. The best techniqueis to let the buck hunt what he thinks is another deer. Which is you imitating that you are a deer. In short, let the deer hunt you.
I think one of the biggest arguments against crossbow is guys taking way too long of a shot. Even at 500 fos that deer can move allot. Hitting paper at 100 yards is not the same as a deer that can move. Even a great shot shouldnt shoot over 40 or 50 yards in my opinion. Too much can go wrong at distance. A deer can still duck even with the fastest crossbows. Guys need to quit acting like they are shooting a rifle.
You don't think there are any compound bow guys that take too far of a shot? A long shot with a faster weapon should be more successful than long shot with a slower one. Just as many compound guys flinging bad shots as xbowers and rifle shooters .
Biggest argument against xbows is it’s a gun ! It’s not bow hunting
@@ja1050I could make the Argument that a vertical bow is quieter then a crossbow and deer are alot more likely to move from the sound of Xbow .
The biggest difference is not having to draw when you shoot lmfao. When archery hunting, unfortunately you have to draw and get into position to shoot. Crossbow you pull it up and shoot.
Might as well be called the speculation podcast. The more I listen the more I'm understanding this podcast is 25% useful info. And 75% speculating and ragging on people who don't hunt the way you do. I'm out.
We got bucks in are shop that will blow your mined .
Let’s go!
