I have been blessed to experience several incredible whitetail bowhunts over the years, but none has been as unbelievable as the one I experienced on November 5, 2011. On that classic rut morning, a hot doe brought two giant bucks (both over 190 inches) within bow range of my stand.

Remains to this day the greatest whitetail hunt captured on video. Can’t count how many times I’ve watched it!!!

It was some kind of day. I was awestruck when it was all over.

This was so awesome. People don't realize how things can change from 0 to 100. You have to be out there to be successful 🦌

An all-time classic, Bill. Not sure this hunt has ever been topped by any promotion.

Over the years I’ve watched this hunt no less than 20 times! Unreal to have around 400” of antler within 40 yds of the stand. One hot doe can change everything at the drop of a hat. This story and then the following year, the G4 buck story will go down as two of my favorite Winke moments ever! I hope you sit back every day, Bill, and smile when you’re looking at those two magnificent animals on your wall. If you’re like me, you can smell the smells, remember the temp and how it all played out with every glance. My wife makes fun of me for sitting in my chair just staring at the wall remembering. Those are memories we all take with us forever! Really enjoyed watching it again! I’m pretty sure I’ll be back again! 😁🦌

You are very right Josh. It is all about the memories. The trophies on the wall are there to bring back the memories not to impress people.

That was an incredible hunt. I always wonder how much bigger g5 would have gotten had the hunt went the other way given the age you shared he was. Keep them coming!

@bill-winke 3 жыл бұрын

Me too. I wish now that it had because G5 was only four years old when I got the results back from the cementum annuli testing for age. Boy, what a genetic freak. He needed at least one more year, maybe two. I didn't know he was four at the time, I thought five. I am not sure I would have let him go had I known he was four - maybe. I still expected the other buck to show back up after getting run off. That might have been enough to cause me to let this one go. It would be so cool to just let them all get old, but unfortunately, not many of them make it that long - other hunters and natural mortality take a big toll each year.

What a hunt!! Still my favorite hunt ever and I love how you are posting these on youtube! Really cool! I am curious, I have never seen you mention the final score of this deer. I know you guessed him in the 190s from the tree, was that what he ended up? Awesome hunt!! Gets me jacked for November already!

@bill-winke 3 жыл бұрын

Me too. November can't come soon enough. I never did actually score him so I don't know past the guess. I have tried not to be concerned about the score because I hate the thought of converting my memories to a number. That is just me, I see no problem with scoring animals as long as it doesn't detract from the memory of the hunt, I have just never done it. Have a great day.
