Didn’t think I’d sit down and watch an hour long story on a deer. The film work, the story line, and everything in between kept grabbing my attention. Heck of a deer Lee and thanks for making it feel like we were apart of the hunt! Congrats on a true mega giant

I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate every second of this video. Everything from the story line to the videography was astronomical. For 1:08:56. I felt as if I was apart of this hunt with you. I felt connected to say the absolute least. Lee, every thing you do for the hunting community and us viewers on KZfaq is just so insane. The Clark mason story has always held a special place in my heart but now it’s got some competition for this one. All I can say is thank you for this film. Congratulations to the entire seek one team and a big congratulations to you Lee! God speed brother.

I’m 60 years young and have been a life long bow hunter . Back in 2012 I shot the biggest deer in an urban environment . Your story actually brought feelings of my own story. Being humble and thankful has its own rewards and it seems you have the right attitude and the fire to go along with it. Like others have mentioned your honesty and struggle getting an opportunity to shoot such a great animal shone through in how you presented the story. Great example of respecting properties and others that may not share your hunting passion but as a shining example on how to represent yourself as a true hunter. Great job.

Man I can't even come to terms with what I just watched. The amount of dedication and commitment it takes to get on a deer like that is one thing. But the nerves it takes to battle through those areas and finding and experiencing the trials you guys endured and never backed out is speechless. 99% of hunter would have backed out. Hats off to you guys. Congratulations!!!

Haven’t enjoyed an hour of Whitetail video so much in many years if ever. This journey you have captured is one of the most epic journeys I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Hats off to your diligence and respect for the animal. Well earned and deserved sir!

If your watching this and haven’t listened to the seek one podcasts about this episode, they provide so much backstory and stuff that would make the episode too long. I would really recommend listening to the podcast because this story is just epic!!!

This is the most insane deer hunting story I’ve ever seen. What a journey, thanks for taking us along! Wild!

Setting here watching this all unfold with my morning coffee literally blocked the rest of the world out. The journey you took, the sleepless nights and the miles you traveled for this epic deer and you closed the book. Congratulations on the success and Thank You for sharing the story with us all.

First time watching this channel. But I got to say that I think it's cool how Lee talks to his buddy's the camera guys like they are part of a team saying "we have to get back in there " and "us" not I did this or I did that but makes it all a team effort , good for him and his team!! I definitely like to see/hear this talk and actions like "we got to go back and get in there now" it's basicly like this all hasn't gotten to his head and he's still humbled yet . Don't let it get twisted brother keep it up!

Lee 215% deserved to be the one to finally sit behind that toad. Fantastic work with capturing the story. Although Lee said he would never do it for the clicks; man i am sure happy he does film and share his work. Its videos like this that truly remind me of just how little I have to complain about when I dont see a buck or dont tag out. You put in more hours on this deer than ive been able to dedicate in a few years bowhunting. Its the tireless effort you put in blows me away. Honestly happy to see the story come to a successful ending. Congrats.

Having been an avid whitetail hunter for 40 years, you’re dedication and determination is something that is awesome! You deserve that one! Congrats on a dandy buck!

Gotta take a minute - and although I’m sure Lee won’t read this .. I at least gotta put it out there. In the beginning “u don’t know what people are going through” well, I’ve never hunted. Living in Miami - haven’t had the finances with being a dad and a shitty job to make it happen. However, - watching your videos got me through a rough divorce. I’m an over thinker who embodies the saying “ idle hands are the devils playground” ….. watching you Lee has given me hours upon hours of mental relief. I’ll never be able to thank you and your entire team. I wish your family, staff, friends and yourself nothing but continued success !!! May those of you who are reading this remember to take a moment and remind those around you how much they mean to you. God bless. ****also - incredible hunt!!!! Been watching the water dragon yappy and jiggin through my crap as well. Such a change from yappys videos where he’s always wearing a smile and joking. Keep winning gentlemen. 💪🏼

Incredible story, how a deer this big was able to survive in those conditions is incredible. Congrats on the once in a lifetime buck!

The way Lee reacts whenever he lays eyes on Kimbo for the first time is they same way I react when I pass a spike on my way home from work

Imagine if this guy was a detective. If you was his target criminal you would stand zero chance.

Man I literally almost teared up when you took your moment in that creek bed. I’ve been there and have experienced that feeling (nothing that big) but I feel the same way about these animals. Congratulations!!

Where I work at we have such a high homeless population and drug problem. A month ago I opened our ramp door and a guy still had the needle in his arm he had been dead for a while. I commend those who can look away, in 2006 we lost our home but thankfully we had family that took us in. Never think it won’t be you. You could literally have 1 severe medical event, and you’re out of work and unable to pay bills and loose everything. Congratulations man definitely a excellent video.

The fact that you even found this deer is insane

Lee, let me just tell you that first off the impressiveness of you finding this deer and being able to get it done is amazing! But even more impressive is your ability to dial these deer in and know exactly what they are doing. Their patterns and movements is so impressive.

Ok I’ve got to admit. I’ve kept up with you for years now and it’s easy after watching some of the videos to get this “that was easy attitude”. Like we’re all out here doing it the hard way and you’re going around shooting these easy tame city deer. After watching this video I’m humbled. The amount of time, energy, perseverance, and dedication you put on this deer is second to none. I’m fully convinced Lee that you quite possibly may be the Tiger Woods whitetails. Epic story, epic journey and an epic deer. Congratulations , no one is more deserving.

Already listened to the podcast, excited to watch this banger! Edit: you guys deserve so much credit for all the effort you put into these deer, congratulations!

my heart was pumping like i was in the tree with you boys. thats an absolutely insane story. freaking awesome!

This is by far my favorite episode ever. The buck was flat out amazing but the video of the journey was epic.

That is one awesome deer sir congratulations and awesome video

I honestly wouldn’t be hunting without you guys. I found your channel 3 years ago and I was immediately hooked. So thank you!

Crazy to think that this buck green scored does not even crack the top 100 bucks ever shot in Ohio. It’s a big deer but there have been 100+ others shot in Ohio alone that were bigger than this. Amazing how many giant deer are truly running around at any given time. Videography is amazing. Congrats.

What you do on here is unlike anyone else. Have loved watching your videos over the years. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family man. As always, job well done.

Minute you guys backed out i thought "oh no the homeless are gonna have it over the fire pit when you return" love following along on this journey as well as the others. Congratulations on an extraordinary deer

I’ve been watching you for about 3 years now and I have realized that you may not post as much as all the other KZfaqrs but your are one of few that try there hardest to come out with THE BEST content. This is probably the best hunting YT video I’ve ever seen:

Proud of you, Lee. For the deer, the video, but most importantly the message. Onward upward

Carrying while bow hunting is a must in these situation. Awesome job Lee

I’m so proud of you Young Man you did your homework on this Monster Buck I have so much Respect for you on how you got Permission of everyone in the areas you wanted to Hunt you totally deserve this Monster Buck

Congratulations Lee,hard to really imagine this caliber of deer and his home being tucked right in where all these homeless people stay and frequent much of the time and all your hard efforts coming to fruition.With people losing there life here,you watching hard drugs being done from your stand, can’t help but wonder with your strong faith if there is some yet to be deciphered lesson for you to uncover and use from this wild journey 🙏🙏

What blows my mind even more than the deer itself is the level of dedication that went into getting an opportunity at that deer. From someone who shares your love and respect for whitetail deer, you truly deserved and earned that opportunity. Incredible

This is what it’s all about a true blessing not only for Lee but for us fans as well to be able to see this story unfold on a beautiful whitetail truly unbelievable. Thank you Lee and thank you god!!❤️

Listening to every podcast has gotten me so pumped for this vid and I have to say I'm absolutely amazed at the production quality and the amazing story

You guys have taught me so much about hunting

We are Re-Naming Kimbo boiis…. He will Now be known as Hood Beams!! An Ode to Hood Dreams and every kid and person in the struggle that Follows their Dreams and aspirations of getting out of the struggle. This hunt represents Lee trying to follow his Dreams and aspirations and the amount of time, energy and effort he puts into this. HOOD BEAMS THE STORY OF DREAMS and ASPIRATIONS!!

This is the greatest thing I've ever watched. Congrats Lee

Easily the best hunting film I’ve ever watched. What an experience for a once in a life time animal and for you to document it in this high of quality since day 1 is just incredible. Props to everyone who helped you on this journey. The fact that all of your friends respected your wishes to back out and also letting you soak up the moment before approaching the deer. Truly what it’s all about. Well deserved!

Who else thanks this is so incredible what this seek one group does! 👇

Thx for the content I live in Monroe Georgia and am having quite the tough season I’m in highschool so I’ve only gotten to sit 50 times but am just looking for a good 120 inch buck. Wish me luck

Bro just shot a great one. If you know you know, cotw

If I had one wish it would be to hunt with this man to get my dream buck ❤

If this man showed up to my door asking to hunt my land, I’d immediately say no and get some game cams setup over some corn 😂

That was the best hunt ever! It felt like a lifetime to calm my nerves and take the shot 😂 Thank you for the wonderful experience ❤🦌

how incredibly blessed you are to do what you do. what a dream. ive been hunting whitetail my whole life. its a family tradition. i had the opportunity to hunt in montana last month and got my first mule deer and everything ive ever learned, practiced, and perfected went into that hunt. now, my buck was no where near this monster, but i can feel what you felt in this video. the life's work, the respect for these animals, the love of using what this earth has given us--its unmatched. i never got to meet my grandfather--he passed before i was born--but he hunted in montana in the 70s. i had the privilege of using his knife he brought on his trip. just to hold what he held so long ago while bearing his namesake was something ill never forget. he was with me that day guiding me as i harvested my buck. hunting is something of a respect. respect the land, your family, and these animals. this is the first video ive seen of yours, and im so proud to see another hunter live with that mentality. you are a great example of what us hunters should be. congratulations, Lee. you deserve it.

This dude earned every bit of that buck. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this video, boy was I wrong. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. This was a fantastic video. Great job!

Ya'll crushed this film. Enjoyed the heck out of the story, dedication and effort put towards your passion, Lee. Congrats, brother 🙌🏻

The fact that the property and the deer was in a completely different video and now it all ties together is remarkable and shows amazing skills not just in hunting but it filming!! I truly love watching yalls videos

Huge congrats man!! Also props to you guys for sharing an experience that literally had me shaky with excitement for you guys! Keep the stories comin, we love to be a part of them by being able to help you guys continue to be able to do this!

I love what you are doing. There is no big deer we’re I’m hunt so seeing you get big bucks makes me happy to go in the woods

beyond ecstatic for you bubba, i can’t describe the respect i have for all of you at seek one. maybe one day we’ll have a story to tell together. happy holidays and everybody stay safe.

The amount of dedication, perseverance that Lee has chasing these deer is unbelievable. This hands down was the coolest video involving the hunt for a whitetail that I have ever watched. What a giant, congratulations!

Incredible video! What an intense journey you took your audience on, from the blight of the environment to the struggles of gaining permissions to access and even locating where this ghost monster buck, what a journey. Wonderful camera work and storytelling with the ultimate happy hunter's ending! Congratulations!!

I stopped the video at 23:00 to tell you guys this is such a great story. The video and trail cam pics( Lee has the nack for this stuff!) 17 yrs of experience shows. The images of this deer are fantastic, and what an outstanding old deer, you can see his backbone in the trail cam footage. Such an impressive “free range” wild buck, and I know why you paid such great respect to this deer, he deserves it.

Lee, all I can say is congratulations and…WOW!!! The dedication, respect, hard work, love, and passion that you have is unparalleled. It truly is amazing to watch. I’ve always love hunting but watching you and your channel has made me love it that much more. You put out such pure and personable content that not many people post. You truly are doing a great thing for this community and are using the talent God gave you well. I hope that you continue to put out such incredible content like this even if it is not of a deer of this caliber. I hope you continue posting videos of you and your buddies doing what y’all do best - hunting and taking care of Gods amazing creation. Thanks for being you and being authentic

Oh this definitely got me smiling! What a milestone in your journey! Thanks for sharing this with us! Happy thanksgiving and thanks for giving us these amazing adventures to share with you!

There is no other Hunter I appreciate more than Lee Ellis. I haven’t found anyone that is more dedicated and determined to harvest mature deer than you. Thank you for the content and allowing us to follow your journey.

This is hands down probably the best documentary on a whitetail I have seen. Absolutely incredible story and journey. Congrats man, nicely done. My goodness

This tops all from Seek One ! In my hometown just south of where I grew up ! So so so cool ! Well done ! Can’t wait to see this in the local hunting papers to truly show what is still out in the urban areas. I hunt a 4 acre lot private that funnels into larger acreage and we always talk about that “urban legend” the “Mystery Buck” is what I call them. You got one my man ! So happy for you and team !

I absolutely loved your complete story from beginning to end. Amazing job throughout this whole journey. The leg work and the time spent, you absolutely 100% deserved to harvest that buck. Great job and congratulations

18 years of hunting and watching deer videos I’ve never watched a hunting deer video this long. Hard work and preparation pays off this is an incredible deer and incredible video congrats on a truly remarkable animal

Watched this one twice. Such an incredible story so different from anything I have ever seen or am used too. That deer is a true legend. Congratulations doesn't cut it, but a thank you for honoring an animal like that is maybe more suffice.

Lee and gang. I love watching your videos, your stories, the work you put into your hunt and of course the videos. Your passion is second to none. This is by far my favorite one. Congrats on the amazing deer and the harvest. I felt like I was right there with you. Good Stuff.

Congratulations Lee on a wonderful deer. That was one of the best movie/videos I've ever watched. I couldn't think of a more hard working guy to deserve such an accomplishment. I'm kinda speechless but thanks for sharing this experience with us and allowing us to tag along with you during this journey. I sure can't wait for the next video!!! Thanks again

Congratulations on a buck of a lifetime, Lee!!!! Seek One is an amazing show. In my opinion, it should be on TV!!! The love and respect you have for these animals is second to none. You tell the stories brilliantly and always make sure to show the tough breaks as well. Keep showing the importance of why we hunt and proving that this sport is also who we are and a way of life for us hunters. Until next time, shoot straight brothers!!!!

lee you’re one of the most loyal down too earth outdoorsman i’ve ever seen in my life! you have more grit and determination than anyone to walk this earth and you deserve every bit of this!

Seek One has given my so much inspiration, when I see these types of videos of hunters going out and harvesting giant bucks I get super excited about my next hunt. Even though I hunt on land that rarely produces a 140 inch deer, it’s still always worth it.

Wanted to tell y’all what a story!! Nothing like it. Best one I’ve ever heard and I enjoy watching yalls content. Hoping I can get to do this one day because it’s one of the funnest things ever it seems. Keep doing big things and thank y’all for putting in all this hard work and keeping us updated!!

Thank you for NOT editing this video to make it short. I love seeing all the real life stuff like a guy smoking crack in view of the tree stand and building a ground blind out of trash. So dope

Im sitting here freaking out with you bro. Congrats. You go through more effort than 99% of anybody else. You deserve these giants and your content is on a different level

Lee you are one heck of an outdoorsman the respect you have for the deer you hunt and everything shows the true passion you have for hunting good on ya sir

Congratulations Lee. Another great buck, great story and great video. Gives me chills. Tomorrow is first day of Maryland rifle season and I’m super pumped after watching this. I hope you decide to keep filming and sharing with us!

Love watching these videos Lee. Stayed for the whole 1 hour and 8 minutes to watch the journey of seeing the biggest buck you’ve ever shot. Congrats and can’t wait to see him on the wall!!

I’ve watched every one of you’re videos and I can say without a doubt this is the most impressive video I have ever seen from you or from any other hunting channel. The story telling is incredible. The deer is GIGANTIC!! You guys are amazing in how you chase these animals so ethically and with such passion and tell the story so well edited and entertaining and somehow make the repetitive parts not repetitive at all!! Great video keep up the great work!!!🫡

This was a great story, from start to finish, what an incredible journey!! And I seriously guessed his score before the guys came up with the final tally and I said 212". They had 215+ so I was pretty happy that I haven't lost it yet! But I'm not gettin' any younger either!! Once again congrats on a terrific journey and thanks for taking all of us out here with you, it was a truly great ride!!!!!

Lee, you are the man. I wish I still had the time and energy to pursue these deer like you do. Keep it up as long as your able because life will get busy once kids are in the picture. Congratulations on a great buck!

Really appreciated watching this whole process. It gives you so much more appreciation for this hunt and congratulations. Incredible Buck and story.

Just finished watching your epic journey to take that monster buck. You should be so proud of the amount of effort , time and love you put into that beast. I’m nothing less than inspired by your dedication. That deer is just 100% unreal. Can’t believe all of the side stories that accompanied this harvest. Congratulations! You definitely deserved that buck. Subscribed today and can t wait to look over your past hunts. You are the man!

Thx Lee for taking us along…. Your commitment, and passion for these great animals is unparalleled…. Blessings Brother!!

Awesome story and just amazing how big this buck grew in an environment like that. Awesome video thanks for taking us on the ride.

The editing, video, work put in, buck and story told is unreal!! Congrats Lee.

Awesome buck! Awesome job putting this story together. The quality of Seek One is second to none. Congratulations!

Speechless 😶 WOW! Great job. Thanks for taking us in this journey.

please never stop making content like this! I've never seen better film work or praise for an animal like you guys do! Beautiful animal.

UNBELIEVABLE! not just the deer. Everything that goes along with it! You/y'all deserve it! Congratulations on an epic journey with success on the backend!

I’ve only watched a few of your videos. I found you years ago and somehow lost you. After seeing the dedication and passion you put into the sport I’m a subscriber. Thank you for taking an old man along on your adventures.

Congratulations, Lee. I am an Ohioan and I'm proud that you worked so hard to get this deer. May God continue to bless you and Yours!

I have hunted for many yrs and have never seen a buck like that. Congratulations. I m 53 and quit hunting but after seeing it has lite a fire under me to get back in the woods and for that I say thank you

Thank you for taking us along on this journey! This gives inspiration to get out and put the time in out of respect for the animals and the habitat they live in.

I love when you communicate to the camera man. Breaks up the video and shows some dialogue and conversation that helps it flow

INCREDIBLE! What a story and an amazing finish to the story. Thank you for putting effort into this. I see the video was over an hour. Didn't feel like it. Stayed with it the entire time. Keep up the good work lee and crew!

Lee is the man!!! What a GIGANTIC BUCK and the story of all the hard work that went into getting him is truly amazing! Congratulations Lee!!! Your hard work, time and effort definitely paid off BIG this time!!!

This is one of the most insane videos I have ever watched. Excellent storytelling and production man! Congrats!

Now that was a journey! A hearty congratulations Lee......you more than earned that deer. What an amazingly well-told story with a mega giant buck as the ending.

This is by far the best hunting video I e watched this year. I don’t know exactly how to say it, but anyone can make an amazing elk video in the mountains. But, to go to urban Ohio and hunt one of the largest deer in the country is amazing. In terms of animal abundance, we’re living in the good ole days right now.

You definitly put in the work for these, congrats. Dealing with the people alone is the biggest challenge

Wow ! What a story ! Thanks for sharing! And don’t quit filming your hunts . We love them!

Congratulations! That was an awesome experience, as a viewer. Can't imagine your emotions at that point. Happy for you and happy that deer got the recognition he deserved. Well done and well played!
