So glad to start seeing some regular videos again. Midwest Whitetail just isn’t the same without you Bill. I learned so much over the last 4/5 years from your videos and last season it finally paid off with my first bow buck, my biggest bow buck 3 days later and then my biggest buck to date 3 weeks after that. All accomplished with the information from your videos.

Bill Winke being back is literally the greatest thing that could happen during this horrid Southern Missouri drought. Keep the content coming Bill!

A great story and all the more amazing that a guy who has several walls of giant whitetails under his belt still has the passion to lay in a sleeping bag in the middle of the woods for hours on end. Most veteran “celebrity” hunters are looking for the easiest way and you’re doing the opposite. Much respect Bill!

You are waaaaaay more dedicated to hunting a deer than I am!

When I was 9 years old I found Midwest whitetail. Only the second year you were producing videos. I can credit 98% of what I know about hunting whitetails to you Bill. So glad to see you getting back into creating content! The phrase “and remember to always dream big” has been stamped into my memory for 13 years now

The quote "you get out of something what you put into it" really applies here. Sounds like an effective, extreme, and fun experience. Congrats on the great buck.

That's what you call dedication...lol. Ain't gotta worry about me ever trying that technique Bill. Thanks for sharing it with us.

It’s all worth it in the end …… and the way you took him is legendary . Great stories for years to come

Bill your name should be bull winkie. U are the man u do whatever it takes to kill a monster. Don’t let anything or anywhere stand in your way. Congrats Bull. Lol

I love watching your videos. You are so real and down to earth with all you do. I learn something everytime I watch you.

Excited for your new adventures and teachings to come. I can never learn enough about strategies and whitetails. Just love this stuff and appreciate all that you share!

So looking forward to this adventure, thank you very much for sharing it with us. The Midwest Whitetail series you hosted never disappointed.

I am so thankful you are back on… tons of respect for you through the years… thanks for being real and teaching as you learn

Love the story telling and the knowledge!! Keep it coming!! Can’t wait to hear more

Glad to see you back Bill. Love the info and content you produce. Especially when you share your faith. God is good! Keep up the good work and hope to see you again at ATA 2023!

Insane dedication and loving it! This is sure to be very interesting and informative. I have been a huge fan of your show for many years now and I'm very thankful for the information that you have shared with us all. Very glad to see you on here! Be safe and God bless you and your family and friends.

The master!! Great story with amazing nuggets of insight throughout. Well done, Bill!

This is a great video Bill. Hunting my buddies farm I found the less time we spent on the land the more big bucks we saw. So I been thinking about sleeping out for the past 3-4 years. You got my wheels turning now. Thanks for that.

Great video Bill , I m a big fan of yours . I remember reading your articles when I was a teenager in the late 90 s . I consider you a hunting hall of famer . Thanks

So happy to see you online again Bill! Learned a ton from you back in your Midwest whitetail days.! Congrats and cool story

Long time follower here Bill!

Great summary of your season for this buck Bill. Has to be refreshing to learn something new after all these years and enjoy a new challenge!

Appreciate you sharing your hunts and knowledge with us! I have always enjoyed the way you tell a story while educating the viewer.

Great to have you back Bill… you are a living legend!

Access is the linchpin to low pressure deer hunting. Bill demonstrates the extreme dedication to not letting the deer know they were being hunted- so much so that the kill seemed easy! Great lesson 👍Thanks!!

Good seeing you out here again Bill. I've been reading or watching your content for years, which far supersedes the majority of "outdoor channels" available now. Mike

That's thinking outside the box for sure!! I'm impressed... I don't think very many would think of doing that on private land.. public maybe but that was ingenious! And what a buck at the end of the road!! Looking forward to next week.

Great seeing you back, Bill. Pretty cool how that all worked out, congrats on a great deer.

THATS dedication. Pretty cool. Congratulations on a well deserved and most certainly earned buck! Can’t wait for next week.

Glad to see you back making content Bill! Enjoyed as always, excited for whats to come!

Great video Bill. Very good information. Awesome bucks from the past two seasons!

Glad you’re back Bill

Awesome to see Bill back!!!! Chasing November is still my favorite….gets me psyched for the 2022 season!!!

So glad to see you back uploading, and this was a awesome video with some outside the box thinking in your tactics I think. Super cool story and congrats on the buck Bill! Season is closing in and I couldn't be more pumped!

BILL.....you made my summer, glad to see you back at it again! Drew an Iowa Late muzzy tag and will be in your area late December! Good luck with the new farm!

Love the regular content again Bill! Looking forward to some more habitat and food plot videos!

Look forward to following along this upcoming season! Keep the videos coming!

Great story! I remember reading your blog on this hunt and was blown away on what you went through to get him

Love this idea! Glad it payed off for you! I’ve thought about doing this so many times in two areas on our property that are hard to access or leave without spooking deer. Definitely gonna try it now.

I was just reading this story on your blog when I got the notification for this video. Already looking forward to next weeks video!

Damn glad to see to Bill! Subbed and notifications clicked for hopefully a lot more of your deer knowledge.

Great to have you back Bill!

I always learn something when I listen to Bill Winke and I really can't say that about any of the other "Pro's" out there. Thanks Bill, looking forward to next week.

Man I'm glad you're back doing hunting videos! Congratulations on the buck! Looking forward to more videos to come!

Happy to see you back Bill.

Awesome story. Looking forward to next week

Great to have you back!!!

Glad to see you back. You look refreshed. 👍

Bill, You emphasized 'not much fun' enough to where I believe it! That's a great story and an even greater deer. 👍

Doing whatever it takes! Congrats on a job well done with a plan well executed.

Great video and super inspirational on killing big bucks. Extreme tactics to get the job done. Thanks for an excellent breakdown and story telling also. Looking forward to the next one!

Love to hear your stories. Amazing

Really starting to amaze me I never thought that you would do that

Ben following you since Damon detling and my cousins the Nippert brothers hunted for your show. Always a lesson to learn from you. Thank you

This is awesome, I watched the podcast with Huntr where yall talked about sleeping in the woods. Glad to know it worked for you. I'm pretty hardcore but I don't think I'll be solo sleeping out in the open woods like that 😂 but I will be solo camping in my war eagle and duck blind for rut in 10,000 acres of public land for the first time this year. Definitely excited for that. Anyways, glad to see the legend is back!

Always a pleasure watching your videos thanks

Cool story. ...glad you are back -

Congratulations on a fine buck and thank you for sharing the unique way you hunted for him. Best of luck this fall

Thank you for coming back...👊🏾

Your still the man Bill! Congrats

I've been waiting for this one!! Haven't even started it yet and already know it's a good one!!

Grew up watching you with my ol man, also met you at a track meet I was running at Iowa state. Awesome to see you making videos again!

Happy to see you back doing videos, Bill! Missed your content!

Super great to hear that! That's not crazy. I've wanted to spend the night the last 2 years. The main reason is the terrible access to my stand. I hunt a 111 acre parcel that is all basically a ridge. As I walk in they just go over the hump and dissolve..I'm doing it! Great buck!

Wow now that's dedication Bill!!! Congrats!

Can't wait for next week's story! Bill's droppin' dimes boys!

Pretty sweet opening up KZfaq to see your buck on my home page. Then remembering I actually was able to get pictures with it at work the night you shot it. Pretty cool experience, thanks Bill😂

For sure going to need to hear a recap of that trip to sheep camp Bill. That sounds like a dream vacation

Taking it to the next level...great story as always

Already the best show , period!

I might have to give this a try. so simple but never crossed my mind. even if you don't come away with a deer your bound come out with experience and a good laugh or two to share with buddies around the campfire

i enjoy your hunt stories i learn and take it all in thanks

Awesome video! I started sleeping in my 8x8 hunting blind and it has made all the difference for the morning hunt!

Glad to see you're doing this Channel!!! I've got a new farm and looking for ideas..may God bless your business.

I like how you think, kinda like a true American pioneer. You do what ever it takes. Not the same extreme but by doing whatever it takes to get the job done! Plus u tell a good story. 👍

Wondered where you’ve been can’t wait for more videos!

Great story and appreciate the details to help others learn. Like to have you elaborate on what made you choose the two stand locations on the ridge. More than that’s where he seemed to reside, but why the specific tree/locations.

Yeah I would have passed him too. Not! Glad you are back making videos. Enjoying the new content

Keep posting ill keep watching! Always enjoyed the content!

Love seeing how your break things down. I’ve been a fan for awhile, thank you for all the information! I have yet to harvest a buck for the books, largest has been barely 130”. I get 150s-160s every year on camera but just don’t have the time to spend out there to really hunt them. 1-3 days a year is all I get, and those deer go dark before I even get into the woods. One of these days though, their schedules and mine will collide!

Loving these new episodes!

This is great Bill, keep up the great work. Glad to see you're back and really look forward to your hunting strategy videos. I read about this in your column with Peterson's Bowhunting and it really piqued my interest. I appreciate you taking the time with both this video and your bedding area video about how your set up on the ridge using the wind and thermals. Here are some future video ideas for you to consider: Bowhunting Strategy: 1. Where to locate trail cameras for determining a hunting strategy for a target buck, 2. Cell cams or regular check cams? Which ones where and when and why? 3. How do you know if you are hunting or pressuring an area too much? (You mentioned the number of times you saw your 21 buck and then a several day gap of not seeing him at all, how did you know you didn't spook him out? What are your thoughts on pressure and buck movement? Land & Habitat Topics: I liked how you're trying to determine natural forage or plains grasses for your new property, extrapolating that to other areas or regions, I think an excellent topic would be how to encourage natural forage and browse on your properties. I think we get so caught up in commercial seed mixes, etc. If you don' have deep pockets for equipment and all of that but still want to enhance your property, what strategies to incorporate to encourage, or grow natural forage and weeds that deer like and rely on. Also, go into a deep dive on how to finance land purchases if you're not a rich dude!!!

Just found you on KZfaq Bill...I'm so happy to see you back on...I've love watching your videos and look forward to the 22 season...any plans to be on TV ?

So glad you're back! Ain't been the same with you being gone.

Smart move dude,I've thought about doing this so many times to kill a monster buck but never had, maybe it was boring for you but come on man get fired up, you came with a plan and you executed it and got that monster buck!!! So don't worry about the boring parts,if it works,it works! Definitely inspired me to think about trying it again!

Glad to see u doing your own thing.

Good stuff! Glad you're back regular, Bill.

Miss ya bill. Midwest whitetail ain't it without ya. I love Jared and Mike they r killers for sure but u r a leader and great teacher. People like u r not replaceable. But I'm glad u r doing u and I know u was ready for a break but u left us withdrawing lol. U cut me off my needs and want to learn from ya. I watch reruns constantly. Over the years u really tough all u can in videos and covered it well. We miss ya Bill!!!

I can barely even do all day sits!! Gorgeous property 👌

Hey Bill is back!!! Awesome!!

love the extreme effort

Extremely excited about you being back Bill!! Pretty sure I’ve seen every episode of MW main show all the way back to when Greg was hunting and filming. Huge fan of Jared, but unfortunately MW lost me as a fan towards the end last season. Just thrilled to be learning from you again!

Really enjoyed this bill and appreciate your dedication and insight, I went searching for sleeping in a tree stand and came across your video. Got a buck of a lifetime that eluded me last year and no way to access the property without bumping deer and ima try this route I think it’s the ticket to getting him in 2022.

That's hardcore hunting. Great seeing this content. Shows me I need to step up my game.

What an animal! Unreal patience, and I thought I was crazy about deer 😅

The Godfather of whitetail hunting

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Man you talk about hardcore you are the real deal bill!!!

I'm pumped that there will be regular Bill Winke videos again.

Even covering sent at night I just don’t get how spending 13 hours a night in a buck’s bedroom is less obtrusive than sneaking an hour or two after dark. 13 hours of scent in a bedding area is a lot regardless of scent precautions. If you can have someone drive a vehicle and hour after dark to pick you up, in my experience this doesn’t scare deer much as they are so used to cars noise and car headlights at night. But Bill is very knowledgeable and his success is proof his method worked!
