There is no way you could tell that those first deer in the beginning were the same deer.

Great way to squeeze a story out of almost zero footage

Leg damage deer always have some crazy stuff going on with their antlers..great story man

If you are a hunter and this isn't the most infuriating you've ever seen something is wrong! Everything about this story and tool bag is ridiculous. 1.Wouldn't let his "friend" hunt the buck after making him leave the camera there for months. 2. Said the buck was TOO SMALL!! 5 drop tines... 3. Had a severe injury to his back leg!! Finish the buck off. 4. Goes out to hunt the buck cause he didn't have any "hit list" on his other properties, after telling his friend he couldn't, and then decides this buck is massive and he needs to kill it!!! Selfish prick 5. Wastes a perfect killing opportunity and video 6. Doesn't even get the actual hunt/kill on camera

When you're a Kyle Chaney fan and you run across this. What a monster! Atta boy kyle.

I had a dream a couple years ago about deer hunting and they were all crazy non typicals since it was a dream and stuff doesn’t look real and this is basically exactly how they looked. Amazing

Great video and story here ! Listening to you talk about "can't move and only moving your eyes" reminds me of a friend Ive hunted with for years. He refuses to look a deer in the eyes and warns others not to as well. He swears that a deer knows or can sense when yo "stare at them" directly in the eyes. I've laughed at him, in spite of his high success rate, but I'll admit, I now lower my head to get my hat brim below the eyes when fairly close, just in case he's right lol! Thanks for sharing this !

"Looks really young...I don't think that's going to be a shooter". LMFAO nice c block🤣🤣🤣

This Guy is exactly the definition of a selfish Hunter that lets his “friends” help him on his property but takes all the benefits.

I came here to say what a lot of others said. This guy did everything wrong and most of all stole it from his buddy. I know he “couldn’t make it” but maybe if he had known he was allowed to hunt the deer he would’ve moved things around on his schedule. This guy decided to hunt the deer after the season had started. His friend could’ve maybe made it opening day if he had know.

Man i love the story but I’d be so pissed if i was that friend hahaha good bucj

You basically stole that buck from your friend

That big boy is crazy. Congratulations Brother. 🎉 I'm sure you've had plenty of people say. Imagine if his right matched the left? Comparatively of course. That would be something.

Great story. Not sure how you thought this was the same deer from 2018. I saw no resemblance on his left side at all. Just curious why you didn't mention he was crippled up so bad. I know you said he survived a gun shot but that deer needed to be harvested regardless of age and antler size.

This guy comes off super arrogant. “I musta shot 50 arrows, all perfect” ok uncle Rico 😂

You got skunked on day 3 because maybe you left the stand and walked through the woods 30 minutes before dark. Deer probably saw you and smelled scent left behind. Another reason could be you not letting your buddy hunt him..

Ohio bucks are big and some of the best hunting. That’s a great buck and I can’t believe it made it that long in wild or farm it’s so unique. Congrats on very nice buck

Yeah bro you’re not only selfish you should’ve let your friend shoot that literally in the background you have a ginormous deer in the back and you don’t let him shoot that one deer that you didn’t even wanna shoot at first that’s kind of stupid

This dude’s friend needs new friends

What a story and what a stud of a Buck! Congrats man! Only sad part of this story is that u wanted this deer off limits to your good friend but you took that buck anyways! I'm sure he wanted this deer too! Knowing that u said yeah, he can go after him too but the way u word it says it all! I would have just let my homie take that deer bc he was the one who patterns that buck! Anyhow good job tho!

That's a crazy cool deer man congrats

I was hunting a 3 legged buck in the late season that had mutant antlers, but he was only about a 125-135 class. I got to see him 4 times but just couldn't quite get in range. Got pretty good footage of him considering I used an iPhone LOL

ED for E.D cause he couldn't get his antlers to grow up😂

Great STORY!

Great deer!

beautiful ohio whitetail, the hate is undeserved he clearly gives him permission to shoot it any smart person would choose their personal life over a deer even if its a once in a life time deer

Lol told his buddy he can't shoot it but he can total tool

I’ve hunted with people like this lol . Anyone else besides me get the gist that this guy called his buddy off the deer then when his buddy can’t hunt he goes after him ? Pretty dirty move imo .

So far i have gathered you told your buddy NO several times. And then you change yuor mind and you kill it. Thats cold..lol

Whoa what an awesome buck, his rack is crazy cool!

One of the gnarliest deer on KZfaq !

I really enjoyed this video. I chased the same buck down in South Texas for 3 years only to never see him again and no one every entered him in a contest and there were no trail cam images so who knows what happened to him? I'm happy you got him; he's an awesome buck. When you cleaned him could you tell what happened to his left rear leg? Subscribed!

That broken leg attributed to the way his antlers grew. 👍 I have seen that before.

Ugly buck... Obviously wounded bad. That's why he grew the drop tines. Looks like he mangled his rack during velvet too... Leg injuries can cause drip tines... Probably hit by a car...

Oklahoma! Awesome video!

Great video and story 😊👍🏻 it was sad to see how bad his leg was and that’s probably what made his horns so weird but it’s a very cool deer and trophy

The woods...you never know what you will find.... sanity... awesome deer... great hunt

"This deer is off limits" goes in and arrows him

What an AWESOME story. Definitely a buck of a life time.

LOL if I where you're buddy you wouldn't know anything about the next one I wanted to hunt until it was dead !

Awesome. Loved the story

Ah the joys of hunting 😂 I'm surprised the leg was from a car I thought he had a bad shot made previously on him so I assumed something with that

Crazy deer….great story…congrats

Great looking buck!

Great deer, but he only had two actual drop tines. Both main beams curved downward, doesn't make them drop tines. G2 on the right appeared to grow "down" because of the severe downward curve of the main beam, doesn't make it a drop tine either.

Good video; good harvest.

Great video!

Amazing story. Way ro have aome patience

That's a great deer but man. Sounds like your buddy does alot of work to help manage your land man. I would have let him take the biggest buck of his lifetime . Seems u get the choice to shoot what you want but he has to hunt the leftovers ya know. Idk the situation but I have more excitement filming someone shoot the biggest deer they ever got than myself. Especially if I have multiple bucks of the same size. Idk like I said the situation might be different for me than you. But either way in the end that's a stud.

Arkansas. Great video

Buck was severely injured at one point, hind leg was pointing straight behind him. Should of been put out of misery a while ago.im an avid hunter on whitetail and black bears but seeing an animal suffer crushes me.

Awesome storie😂

Great Buck. Congrats. Curious about that left hind leg? Any idea what happened there?

Anyone ever tell you ... you look like Edward Norton ? (The actor) As soon as the video started , i thought ... "The Hulk is a deer hunter" ? 😂😂

All these jealous haters crack me up😂 what an awesome deer!! Congrats!

Great story but hard to believe thats the same deer. I know they get messed up most of the time when they get wounded, but still hard to believe.

Have you been noticing a change in buck racks? I’m on Pa/Ohio border and I been seeing messed up rack buck everywhere I go. I still see the basket racks but mostly been seeing weird rack bucks.

In what world was that 146” 8pt without spread? I hope you score my deer in the future

lot of extra inches on those sheds with the tape lolol then to tell your buddy not to shoot a deer due to age structure, then give him the pass when he doesn't have time to hunt it? I can age a deer dang near off the first picture i get of him but it took you several days worth of pictures? Judging by your wall, you have some luck but this just doesnt sit well with me. And referring to sitting on the ground like an "idiot" is pretty ignorant, considering MANY including myself have killed big, mature deer off the ground. Sounds like you may be the problem.

Last season i shot a deer still had a tag that sobi saylt behind a huge wood pile. My fiance saw that spot never thought of sitting there, next day i go to my spot down the way and my fiance sat behind the wood pile. Nailed a great 8 pt that morning. Just a chair and a woodpile lol

Minnesota I get nice bucks on camera but I shoot what gives me a good shot so I haven’t shot many good bucks.

can even remember the damn score. maybe the ruts about to start. who really knows. the deer only think they know😅😅

The old tell your buddy he is off limits and then go in and kill him trick. Works every time

What a killer story!! Awesome edit and congrats!!!

You’re telling me that deer grossed 189” and you are telling your buddy he is off limits because he has some growing to do?! Some people just go crazy over antlers.🤷‍♂️

did i miss him say something about the deers back leg looking broke?

Clearly a crippled animal that needed taken but it was "too dark for video" or "not sure if he's a shooter" What a sportsman

Also the fact that you were gearing up to try and take an 80 yard shot… Not what a true bow hunter would do

Story definitely had some holes in it lol. Nice deer

Seek one sent me here

what part of Ohio are you all in I am in the SW part of the state between Cincinnati and Dayton

awesome farmed deer

20 minute video with 35 seconds of actual video and a story with inconsistency throughout. Yeah I’ll never waste my time watching another video on this channel

You tell a friend not to shoot it then you go an hunt that buck lmao what a friend

I hope your “friend” never hunts with you ever again.

I thought it was E.D. the way his antler hangs

Your an awesome friend

Great story on why you should never tell anyone what you're seeing on camera. The only way this story is NOT shady is if he lets his buddy hunt for free. If money ever exchanged hands, this is the worst of the hunting world.

“Sat on the ground like an idiot” say that to Fred Bear..

You couldnt seriously believe you made the deer go nocturnal after one ground encounter ? Big bucks are smart but they if you 2 just looked at each other then there is no chance you scared him off.

So...was this the buck that got shot the previous year? Thats why he had the gimped back leg and possibly went all Non Typical? Thanks.

This is why I only rifle hunt. I'll be damned if 80-500 yards is going to be any reason I can't take the animal I want. Bow hunting is fun.....if you've never ran dogs for deer/bear, or you have nothing but long open fields & open swamp land.

Great work fellas!

Sometimes you have to just shoot and tell everyone about it just like it’s been done for hundreds of years. Thanks for sharing.

Should of saved it for your friend since he was Eager and asking you if he can kill it

Great story i live in Ohio and i wish i could come up on a Buck like that!

Noble County, Indiana

So you snaked your buddy on a deer you said wasn't big enough. Real stand up guy bud

some of the best footage I’ve seen!

Man that was your buddies buck. Can't believe you made him leave his trail cam there for so long when he wanted to move it. If you was a real hunter, you would have let him move his camera and put your own right there. Good deer though

Jesus all that build up and detailed explanation. The kill shot wasn't recorded.

I have an interesting buck I’ve named lefty. The right side is turned down also.

I hunt from the ground. Am I an idiot? Killed a few sure don't feel like an idiot . 🏹

Dang you got it hard about just standing there, but I got it worse I hunt in a golf cart..

How do think buck ed injured his left rear quarter and or leg and when

The way I look at your buck's rack & where you took it to be scored, that's alright I guess, but the way my father taught me with hunting decades before I started hunting, he said this to me I don't give a shit how they measure a rack of a buck, as long as your dam happy with a buck & it's rack that's your joy, who cares how someone thinks & measures it, it's your trophy & that's final! Now I'm going to tell you the same don't worry or care how it's measured, it's your prize & glory buddy! Jim Greszczuk

Dang I wish he would’ve talked about his injury more! That broken leg looked gnarly! Maybe hit by a car? Either way the rack he grew was unbelievable! Awesome story

That deer would be 250 something inches if the other side match that is crazy

Great content can't wait to get my in line
