I love the scar on his left eye. That would make a great shoulder mount. Beautiful buck!

Thanks Ben for talking thru what goes thru your mind when going after a new buck on a new property!! Those are tid bits of Gold for people like me

Hi Deer Society I'm Isaiah Barnett and I'm and junior in Pennsylvania. There is a buck that's buy where my dad and me are sitting that we named Bushel Basket . We live in town so they can't get big like this but he is the king for most of the area by where I live! I had a 29 hard encounter with him but he just stayed too low on a little knoll so I had no shot at his vitals. Tomorrow starts 3 days of rifle for junior, mentor, senior, and active duty military here we can shoot a doe, so I'm taking a gun and my dad is taking a bow in hopes that maybe we can get Bushel Basket, if we get him I'll let you know! Wish me luck and good luck to all hunters out there!

This has got to be my favorite Deer Hunting video PERIOD. What a fantastic effort. What fantastic thinking and planning to harvest the most beautiful buck. I would have called him Scar. Excellent HUNT! Thank you for sharing this.

Perfect shot, I never miss a opportunity for frontal shot. It’s always worked for me. Congratulations!

What a stud!!!! I love that this isn't a fenced in area, this is real hunting!!! Love the emotion, love the hard work!!! Makes it that much more special to work your butt off for it. GOD IS GOOD BABY🤘🤘💪💪🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲♥️

Man, I’ve seen a pile of archery videos on KZfaq. My favorite was the Arkansas state record archery deer, but now this is it. Good freaking hunt! Keep up the Lords work!

Awesome video and hunt, I'm after a buck on my property in Pennsylvania I call Bubba, I missed him 5 years ago in archery and I'm glad I did cause he became a stud of a buck, he's around 7 or 8 years old now and he's huge and definitely looks more like an Iowa body deer than Pennsylvania 😂 if I get him I'm definitely doing a video on him

Neck shot never fails

4th time watching this video I love it. I hunted a buck I called the big 10 for 3 seasons. Never got him but came close twice it just reminds me so much of this deer. Complete ghost

my grandpa shot an absolutely IDENTICAL buck to this one at 6:45, never seen anything like it until now!

Dude if I saw him walking in the woods at 40 50 yards of suspect him to be a new state record if not world record with That tine length and frame : I would swear I almost cried with You man .

Wow that's awesome how he came right in. Huge!!

Prime power baby let’s goooooo …… gorgeous buck

The last time I ever hunted back when I was 24, I am 52, I crawled to wet clearcut in the dark and got down 50 yards from this creek in some young pine oaks and sat down and had a lever action 30/30, it wasnt 10 minutes later the legend of the woods come sniffing not 30 yards to my left, an 18 point very old white tail that looked similar but bigger with much older thicker horns, I lifted to shoot sitting on my butt leaning my back against a tree, and the damn gun butt scraped my vest as I shot and he reared straight up and I missed and I haven't hunted since, the lower beads on its horns were way larger and thicker, it had an upside down teardrop, this deer was freaking massive, some guess at the time 10 years old, no one hunted there, just an old man's land and tales, that deer could of changed my life, in everyone's eyes around there including my father who was super famous around there who disowned me when I was 4, missing it ruined hunting for me, never would I ever have a chance at a deer like that again, I still haven't seen one like it shot, including the beauty you shot here, here I am 52 years old, 26 years later, that deer was a true legend and an absolute monster and i am damn glad it didnt turn my way and charge, I would be surely dead😐 This was east of Waldo Arkansas,

What a great video. Homework pays off. Thank you Jesus

That was an incredible hunt, and What a shot. I'm glad you were able to capture this adventure.

What a tank! I hope you got him mounted with his left eye squinted (probably an old battle wound). Congrats!

U blasted that deer point blank Jesus

Awesome shot. Need to know anatomy and practice to make a shot like that!!

I love to see it all come together for someone that truly loves to hunt! It really is a spiritual experience. Very happy you got to take this animal! Stay hunting hard guys! And always give up thanx to where it belongs!

The blood squirted out instantly what broadheads you using ?

Ben you never disappoint in your KZfaq channel Facebook Instagram do you make me always want to hunt harder and thank God for everything he’s gave me all I have to say where is congratulations and keep it up. I’m your biggest fan.

nice shot under pressure

Congratulations bud on a beautiful Buck

Very nice buck, congratulations, and thanks for the video. All of your planning and hard work paid big dividends.

Dude awesome job. I would have been afraid to take that shot.

That was awesome! I like to see the events leading up to the moment and a hunter who appreciates and cherishes that moment. This may not be a popular comment and a bit off the video but I am also glad to see that monarch buck taken with true archery equipment. Time spent on the range throughout the year also leads up to the moment. Archery is suppose to take practice to be proficient and successful!

Hey man nice shot

love this video i was entertained, i am currently hunting a buck aproxamently the same size

Amazing sportsman and amazing MONSTER. CHEERS bud congrats

Wow! He is spectacular!

“Didn’t gooooo 20”. “Loins”

Straight monster awesome job.

Can't wait!

Congratulations on a beautiful buck

Congratulations, he's a brute

Awesome!! Congratulations Dude!

Thanks for praising God first. He makes it all possible

Congratulations! What a giant.

I just wish the Extinguisher and the Black Rack had better retention systems. I hunt public land and have lost 2 extinguishers and a black rack getting deep into thick cover trying to find bucks. The Extinguisher fell off the lanyard around my neck and my black rack (mostly my fault) was hanging on my pack and fell off. Both in deep thick cover and I couldn't find them.

That is a beautiful buck

What a amazing cage!!!

That is amazing

Can’t wait!!!

Nice deer!

Great journey!

Congrats this was a good video man !

Good shot

Lots of haters on this shot, but in the video, he watched the buck go 20yards and fall. You can search and find the video on this channel. Not the shot I’d prefer, but he understood deer anatomy and executed perfectly. You have to know your business, and have the ability to close the deal no matter how the details unfold in front of you. If he couldn’t pull off that shot angle, he never would have taken this buck. Luck is found at the intersection of skill and opportunity.

What stand set up and broad heads were you using?

Great deer!! Where abouts in Illinois?

Awesome reaction! Great video

Awesome!

Great hunt! Strong shoot...especially frontal. How many lbs do you pull? What county in IL. I hunt near Danville Ohio. I think you hunt Killdeer area? Congrats!

WOW!!!

I wish you good luck in all your hunting endeavors. 🙏 I hope you harvest Bushel Basket.

Amazing hunt! Didn't go twenty!

After Ben making statements about other hunters who use crossbows I no longer support anything that has to do with him. Sad to see you have an episode with him.I was really looking forward to the next one. Maybe next week.

Ben, God always blesses you with favor and awesome bucks! You always say thank you Jesus! That’s one big reason why you shoot mega giants. I sure would like to hunt with you a couple times. Nice going Ben!

10:13 this was the moment he knew he had fucked up

You won’t believe me but that’s my uncles land his names Ryan Dallas

How do you like that prime inline?

Beautiful buck just too easy man...

He didn’t circle behind you?

Hey at least you didn't have to answer to Mark drury for shooting him straight on lol

What a Beast,,

Aye Ben. Did ya use and black Widow on this hunt??

Tell lights out he was an incredible buck but got out of his misery. I feel bad for him for him now you gotta do what you gotta do. Lights lights out was my favorite

Dangerous shot placement

These kind of hunting videos are hard for me sometimes. I grew up using hand me down equipment and even my camies where previously worn. I'm watching this individual out in the woods with clothes on that hadn't been worn until that day and equipment that was just broke out of the box. I'm not bashing him, I'm really not. Everyone's circumstances are different. However I'm against the campaign that says you gotta have all this cool stuff and cutting edge accessories go out and get a solid deer. It would've been different if this was a doe hunt.... Obviously. But as it stands the message to me is " You too can shoot a trophy buck if you have all the latest and greatest". At the end of the day this is all just my opinion and I'm just another swinging dick. Congratulations on that beautiful whitetail! Definitely once in a lifetime experience.

Outstanding hunt to be 1st time on property. I learned a few things. Thanks. The Lord's Blessings. Trucker Ray ✝️

He gave you that Forest Whitaker look 😂. Nice buck man, congratulations.

Congrats! That's an awesome kill

anybody else see the coyote at 2:20

Absolutely nothing wrong with that shot!

Can you guys maybe make a short video on using a compound bow in a stand? I’m going to start and I have so many questions

If u don't get wound up like that it ain't worth it

180s club

What an absolute stud and you told your story and his story very well! Much respect and loved watching this chess game! Check mate my friend, check mate!!!!

Hola 🖐️🖐️👍👍

Curious as to why you named this buck scissors

Trash shot for bow. Amazing with a slug gun or big cal rifle like above a 270…. 30-06 or 7 mag or something. Bow? You took a a chnace

🙉💯👊🙏🦊

Ain’t nothing wrong about crying about a PR deer

just missed a giant doe

😂😂

Personally you got a VERY NICE Buck! No judgment from me!

No hate, no shame, great shot, awesome buck and hunt, but is it necessary to stop a deer that big at that range?

Not 180 with 4" brows no main beems. Nice try.

Good lord. Buy a climber.

Naming bucks is so cringe

Not the greatest shot but congrats
