Massive respect to you guys for showing how real hunting works and the mistakes we all make. I hope next season is good for you guys, no one deserves it more. You guys work incredibly hard !!

Thanks for showing real hunting and all the work,joy,and pain that comes with it. Anybody can go to a high fence and film killing a monster for videos but this is what most of us experience and still love.

Within just a few seconds of watching your video I can tell you guys are getting really good at putting together professional quality KZfaq videos. U guys will be alright regardless of the deer hunting

Nice to see reality, most of us miss & can't figure out what happened at some point. I'm mostly impressed so many people gave you permission!

Dude, I feel your pain. It’s so tough. This is real hunting and it’s an awful feeling that most bow hunters have felt. I’m a subscriber and a fan, just due to your honesty.

This is my first season out in the woods, really sweet video. The ups, the downs, the joy and pain. Great video. Real deal, no faking the funk in any of this. You guys should be really proud of this video 🎉

Great video! You guys are real and authentic. The honesty just makes us love you guys even more. Next year is right around the corner 🏹

In some ways I like this video even more than the almost "scripted", perfect hunt videos out there. The cliche expression is "That why it's called deer hunting and not deer shooting". These perfect hunts for monster deer on video, is something most of us have not experienced. What happened on this video and the understandable heartbreak.. we've all had a taste of that. Great video guys, for a lot of reasons. Most of all, the honesty and realism of deer hunting. Thanks for sharing !

Tough season my friend, many of us have been there. Get back at em next year. Keep your head up.

What a bummer season. On the bright side you guys are seeing/hunting bigger deer than most of us see in a life time. Wouldn’t be called hunting if it was easy, they’d just call it killing. Part of it fellas. You did a hell of a job as KZfaqrs. Entertaining as hell. Keep it up.

Love the video guys! You kept grinding through adversity. When you get success, it will taste that much sweeter. Be patient and lets get ready for next season. No one has failed, the journey is long and arduous, you got this!

New channel for me, in some ways you remind me of Seek One, keep it up.

As a a devoted hunter with a passion for film making and editing, I completely understand the amount of time you have put into hunting these deer and the hours upon hours spent editing to create a video of this quality. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t give up on your passions! Y’all are gonna have an incredible year next year, mark my words!

Hang in there. Keep your heads up. And from now on AIM LOW BROTHA!

Awesome video guys! Definitely got a sub from me. Showing the grind, struggles, mistakes, heartbreak and the complete joy and excitement of hunting. And ridiculously good camera work.

This was one of the best videos I've seen from you guys. Real world hunting. I'm sure you guys will capitalize 2023 season. Good luck!

Great video guys, can’t wait to see how your next season goes! 🦌 🔥

😂 I freaking love u guys lol spinning the arrow n the truck with the log on it an both of yal keeping a straight faced😂 epic video big buck down or not we support you all for who you are and follow your passion

Zac, you didn’t fail brother. This is just a hiccup. You guys will bounce back. Keep on pushing. Never give up. A dream is worth every ounce of fight you have. Make it happen. Can’t wait for next season! Love you boys.

I think you guys benefited your viewers and in no way let them down. This is a reality of hunting. It’s not a result any of us want, but it is part of what makes it so challenging. Great video thanks for sharing!

Pretty much sums up my season. Missed my biggest buck to date and couldn’t catch up to my other target. If it was easy it wouldn’t be as rewarding when it all comes together. Looking forward to watching next year. Keep grinding!

Love the honesty. Hunting is a lot of work and there are countless things that can go wrong. Nice to see the other side of the "perfect" hunts. Keep it up, fellas!

Love the Mullets boyz, and what a grind! Nice job on filming, this is becoming one of my favorite bow hunting channels, you show the good, bad, and the ugly! Great representation of what the average bow hunter goes through🎉❤

Keep after it man!!!! Shoot that bow a bunch this summer.!!! Looking forward to some redemption!!

You guys are awesome keep up the good work awesome that was a good video

Hate to say it but king Neptune looked like he was on deaths doorstep at the time of the miss. Thanks for putting together a real Hunting show, We have all been there. Few months and we are in the tree again. Good Luck!

Man, buddy. This one really hit close to home for me. I feel for ya. I went through the same thing 10-12 years ago when I made a run at chasing that dream. I put it ahead of everything. Because I believed in my abilities as a hunter and videographer. And it was one thing after the other year after year. We killed some deer but it changed the way I looked at hunting and it stole something from me that I’ve yet to get back. That’s the drive to hunt like a machine. I don’t think I’ve bow hunted now for almost 7-8 years. The last deer I killed was a 138” 8 pt behind my parents house on the ground. I think about huntin all the time but that’s about it. I don’t go. I don’t even own a bow at the moment. It sure gave an appreciation for the guys that can do this for a living. Cuz as much I lived for it trying to make it into a business put out my fire for it. Don’t let that happen to ya.

Hard to watch, feel for you! Great video gents.

I gotta be honest I laughed when you guys were sitting in the truck spinning the arrow. Tough miss. This is I believe the first video I've seen from you guys, very good. Good luck this year fellas.

True hunting content. My first video of watching you guys. Earned a new sub and I’m stuck to watching y’all!

Love this video boys. I hit a giant this year was going to be my first ever buck and let alone with a bow. Thought it was a great shot and never found him. Glad to know I’m in the same boat as you guys

Here from california, Idk much about big ol white tails but i've chase my handful of big ol muleys. i stumbled on your content and i gotta say i have a great admiration of yall doing this video. Not every season will us bow hunters be successful. and seasons like the one yall had is heartbreaking. but its part of learning for us bowhunters. proud of you guys for being diligent in your craft. New subscriber.

Can’t imagine that heartbreak! Good work on the video boys. Hey it happens, Ya I missed a buck this year with my recurve luckily he only took a few steps and was able to shoot again and struck gold.

Love these videos boys. Your face when you missed Neptune… god I know that feeling!

Keep it up guys! You put a lot of work into these videos, it will eventually pay off!!

S*** happens fellas…had a rough season in my home state this year. Keep after it I’m sure it’ll just add fuel to the fire. Looks like y’all have a big time bounce back in store for 2023 🔥

Awsome video guys. Don’t let this season determine your career. Be thankful for everything you learned and the opportunity to see these deer. Your are doing great and this will help you kill future giants.

Creek kings bringing back the MULLET... permed mullets

You guys have something amazing coming!! Don’t give up!! Keep going!!!

Just subscribed, I was watching this and when Neptune showed back up and the camera was blurry I was panicking "CLEAR UP CLEAR UP" then again the out of focus shot made him that much bigger! Well done!

Love that fact that yall are showing us the more "real" side of hunting where there are a lot of times when nothing goes your way and it tests your patience. just some real guys being real the entire time. this is what its all about, the highs and the lows. im sure you guys have your scents you always use, but I started using a scent eliminator from Pure Whitetail that is dirt scent eliminator and have had a lot of deer down wind of me and never blow or spook. i hope yall give it a try. just a suggestion! love the content and look forward to this seasons content!

I loved this video. This sport is tough and I enjoyed this as much as I do video’s of deer being killed. It’s heartbreaking but the humility is priceless. Love watching y’all. Keep grinding.

Keep you heads up boys!! Keep grinding!

Keeping that positive attitude for 2023-24. Things will turn around and hopefully you guys will be into some studs this upcoming season. From 1 Ohio hunter to another, wishing you guys the very best !

Such a heartbreaking video but I’m glad you keep everything authentic and show the good and the bad . Definitely should have some good target deer next year

I've been following you guys since 1k subs I've seen hardships and trials but I know you will overcome them! God will bless you next year and I know it! I had the same thing happen this year hit my first buck like 130 inch not a giant but had good history with him and couldn't find him after and he never showed back up. God bless you guys keep truckin!💪

Clean misses are the best outcomes other than a clean kill! Love your content, keep gettin after it! Just hit the sub button 👌

Great video fellas, that’s as real as it gets. 👊🏻

Hunt season is never easy, truth content here, love it! I send you some luck from East Canada! 👊🏻👊🏻

Some beautiful bucks you guys got me hooked

There in trouble next season boys! Best of luck. Love the videos

A comedy of errors but I really enjoyed this piece and I will be subscribing. Thank you

Awesome video !

Great video. Can't wait for 23 season. My season didn't go as planned ether.

Absolutely exiting hunting movie! Congrats from Germany 🇩🇪!

Heartbreaking season! But the good news, is that you probably won't have a season that bad ever again! Glad you got it out of the way! Best of luck this year!

Great video!

Y’all got a new subscriber with this video right here

You guys don't have a damn thing to be ashamed of. S--t happens!!! I'm heading into my 36th season and have had ups and downs. If you don't mess up then you ain't learning. I take my hat off to both of you and what you do!!! Keep grinding and keep up the good work!!!

Dang that was a tough season, that is how my 2021 season went,just shoot your bows a lot during this off season, and then when season starts just kill some deer,nothing will get your confidence built back up like smoking a few doe’s. Good luck to y’all this coming hunting season.

damn that sucks!! we all got work to do next year, because i only saw one doe that is it. so we got work to do and cant wait to see u guys take down some bonners baby!! and hopefully i see more then one deer lol

Drone recovery. Never mind I guess I should watch the vid BEFORE commenting. It’s amazing what those big old bucks can live through. That wound looked NASTY!

I love this video. So relatable. I think you should try switching releases because I think you may be struggling with target panic. But man there’s no questioning y’all’s capabilities to find deer and pattern them. I have no doubt that this upcoming season y’all will get many more opportunities!! Just keep it up and stay positive! Experiences like this is what makes an “experienced bowhunter” experienced!!! Y’all got this!

Helpful reminder, muscles have oxygen too. A non lethal muscle hit will have bubbles. Unfortunately experienced that myself. Commenting at 10:12

Way to keep after it and keep grinding! I know how hard you guys work to kill big deer! I know sometimes it’s frustrating and feels like everything is against you. We are all human and make mistakes. And sometimes crap just happens that is out of your control. Keep your heads high! Keep sowing the seeds and you will reap an amazing harvest no doubt! 🤜🏼🤛🏼👑

Don't give up you can always learn from your mistakes your content is awesome

Bait makes things much more simple.

Yup you guys are the real deal bowhunting is a very tough sport there's highs that touch the moon and lows that just makes you sick to your core but in actuality I don't think you would change a thing because next time you wrap your hands around the next big one it will be that much sweeter guaranteed eventually you'll look back at this season and smile!!

Practice makes perfect!!!!

Thanks for the great season fellas. Live and learn, it wasn't in God's plan this season. God bless both of you and thanks for the great season 🙏

Wow that broke my heart just watching. Next year will be your year.

I was told by an old timer that's why they call it hunting and not killing. The heartbreak is real. The missed shot opportunities will absolutely destroy confidence. We have all been there at one point or another. I had it happen twice this year. One was a hair line Crack in my arrow and it completely came unglued as I released. Thank God I didn't get hurt. The next day I shot under another great buck. I was absolutely beside myself. Just have to continue to keep driving on and learn from mistakes and missed opportunities!

I know the feeling all too well. I shot a 14 pointer in MI two seasons ago and my neighbor ended with him. And I shot a 30+” wide buck in Illinois this past season with my bow and wasn’t able to recover. He was a foot outside his ears on either side. Probably a new world record typical. And I also shot a 170ish 10 with my shotgun on the same property on opening night of shotgun season and also didn’t recover him. I’m hopeful that the 30+” wide one is recovered by someone and ends up in the books as a deadhead find. I can’t hardly watch hunting shows anymore, especially this episode was hard for me. I hope I can enjoy hunting the same again some day. Hopefully getting my son on his first buck this season helps me to forget what I had at the tip of my fingers.

Keep em comin ! The majority of hard-core deer hunters wish they could get an opportunity to take a shot at a buck in the 140s let alone 170s to 200s !! What yall got on the list this year ? Bout time to find out

if you wanna kill great ones you can’t shoot the good ones is exactly right for me i had a 13 point 2 year old 140s 30 yards passed him never seen him again never got pictures of him again he was the only good buck i seen all season then come to find out one of my other target bucks got hit on the road i had one good last buck on camera probably 165 inch deer biggest i had on camera but found him in the taxidermist but low and behold that 2 year old 140s showed back up with a couple weeks of season left i thought he was dead but going into next season pretty pumped (never got anything this season) love the channel guys can up the good work

Had a similar incident happen to me with a really big whitetail doe.. shot her at 30 yards.. she turned right when I released.. hit her a hair high.. she lived

This is a great video that really shows the struggles we go through as hunters. I had a similar year passing those good 3 and 4 year old bucks to get opportunities at the truly mature giants that you only get so many chsnces at, and ultimately I didn't get it done this year either. I found out I was spending too much time being a bowhunter and not enough time being an archer. Going forward I won't make that mistake again. Do you plan to spend more time this off-season shooting from a saddle at height to try and minimize the chances of having another season like this one? I like your content, so I gave you a sub and look forward to seeing what the future holds for you guys!

Have to honest guys you make great videos! Glad you showed everything sorry to see this happened. My only critique is you need to spend a little more time behind the bow during the off season, and knowing when to shoot, and pass. You guys keep it up it is great footage and videos. Hard work pays off gentlemen.

The video is great. Loved it all. I’m sure it’s been said before but the bow at the 6:40 mark has the knock point set ATLEAST and inch too high. Keep after em fellas

Great videos! But I think it’s the “Hair!” Seriously, it the “hair do!” 😂

Same thing happened with my sister deer me went about 40-50 aces double lung barely hit gut and had two dogs come out to find him

I'm with ya,,I've not tagged on one yet

that's why its called hunting and not killing it happens I've missed plenty of deer in my life its a part of it but once you can calm all nerves going into game time and focus on the kill spots it gets easier lol just gotta save buck fever for after the shot. but if you are having opportunities it will connect just shoot the bow ALOT ALOT lol

If you guys get into this situation this season, give us a call. Good production! 👍

Good morning. I’m in Toledo if want to point me in any deer. Don’t forget how much God loves you. Don’t loose faith. He always blesses us

You guys are really cute with your matching mullets🙄

After watching deer drone recovery its sickening to realize how many deer get wounded and never recovered. Man that sucks.

That stings! Next year you will come back with a new outlook and new hunger for it.. good content just have fun! Remember numbers aren’t everything I don’t know a hunter who doesn’t enjoy seeing a 140 get smoked! Get some does under your belt to rebuild that confidence

Dang ,But I can taste jerky already !!! Next year they better be ready!!

Should keep drone deer recovery in mind for next year

Guys these are learning situations…your going to regroup and take your craft to another level…one recommendation - set up well off your bait - the bait is an attractant - but is not a consistent killing spot - this is the change that will be hard to swallow

Thank you for showing the real deal ...when you chase certain deer the lows way out number the highs more often then not it's just part of the game I also had the season from hell hunted a mid 180s class buck in my mind he was good as dead an even looking back I would not have hunted him any different warm temps an almost constant south winds played a huge factor the whole farm can only be hunted on a north.... thanks again for showing the truth,trials an tribulations.

letss gooo

All we can do is stack the odds in our favor. Sometimes that’s just not enough. Nobody stays unlucky forever though.

Keep your head up awesome content you have a new sub!! What broadhead are y’all using ?

Dang 98% of the way to an awesome season, just that last 2%… older I get more I’m coming around to lower draw weights being all around more lethal to close range whitetail, you think about dropping draw weight at all? Also do you think you’re compromising good form at the shot? Thanks for another great vid!

Crows have yellow feet and beak. Ravens have black feet and beak.

Could of swore that last shot went through the bucks neck ai

I found this guy on KZfaq that uses a really nice drone to find deer and I think if you ever have this problem again you could contact him. The channel is called Drone Deer Recovery. Hope this helps.

I did the exact same thing opening day here in Ohio, on an 8.5 year old buck I’ve had pics of since 2017. He lived and I had a second opportunity at him couple of weeks later and he caught me moving as I was getting ready to draw. Wound still hasn’t healed.
