Long time viewer here. As bow hunters, we all make bad decisions and shots. It’s inevitable. But the difference in this case is that you defend the shot, rather than admitting it was high risk and not a good shot to take. I hope new and future hunters understand that, and look at this video as an example of what not to do.

Great hunt, and a beautiful buck. We all have shots go off from where we want, but be honest that shot was less than desirable and you got lucky. Great video..awesome buck.

The imitation vanilla trick is one of the many reasons I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your experiences and expertise. God bless.

You guys are by far my favorite public land guys no doubt. Just the other day my younger brother was saying he watches a channel on KZfaq that he loves. He showed me and it was you guys! Your channel is different from what everyone else is doing and thats a very good thing. Keep the content coming it's appreciated

Congratulations Jeremy, that is a great buck. I tell you what, you and Daniel has got the best hunting channel on KZfaq, I watch them all in my spare time, but Do it yourself Hunter is the best one out there.

Dan Fitzgerald has used vanilla for years. Actually marketed a scent called “ Vanilla Killa “. I use pure gum spirits of turpentine and had great success over the years. Keep up the good work!

Another job well done ole boy. Always enjoy your hunts and the words of wisdom to go along. May the good Lord continue to bless ... Keep you safe ... And give you length of days to show up at that willow once again.

Congrats Jeremy on a biggin!!! It’s so enjoyable watching you take us back to your past magical deer honey holes, describing the awesome adventures, harvests, and soulful fulfillment achieved! It truly shows your love for the wilderness and Whitetails. It’s those memories and special places in the deer woods that keeps us coming back for more. Thanks for sharing your passion and teaching us along the way.👍💪🏼

10 ring!! Right in the bung hole!! Great hunt my friend. My 3rd video of you guys. And yes sir. Next season isn’t promised. Thank you Lord for this season. Luke 9:62

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

That's a super high risk shot. Thankfully that deer didn't end up wounded. There's a reason you don't see hunters taking that shot. However I'm glad you got a real nice buck.

I have been using OdorZone Fresh Earth. It smells like dirt. Comes also in canister with wafers you can pin to your hat, clothes etc. Try it. Watching your videos and all public land hunter’s is away for me to relax at night while trying to fall asleep. At 72 it brings back memories. Haven’t retired yet, but when I do, if my health holds up, I am going to do it again around the neighboring states of Ohio. Wife says have fun but be safe. Hope to run across paths someday. By the way, nice harvest.

I've used vanilla extract this year for first time and it is all I will ever use for cover scent ever again. That's a monster 8 and great shot. Congrats Jerm u deserve it and much more hope it's 1 of many u and Daniel have joy of celebrating. We're right here with ya. Keep crankin em out.

Congratulations Jeremy! Thank you for having the courage to encourage your fans to get out and get after it. Your thoughts of enjoying the journey these hunts provide are very relatable. I am having success three years into bow hunting out of state public and I get excited every day thinking about what the rest of my life might hold in this sport, lord willing. God bless and good luck on the remainder of your season.

This reminds me of a hunt 40 years ago when my buddy had a bad shot and hit the buck broadside in the rump. Never thought we'd find it. It went maybe 80yds. The femoral is a main artery that gushes! Congrats Jeremy. Enjoy your channel.

You just gave a clinic on the Kentucky heart shot!

As always, another great video! Congrats on an Iowa stud public land buck!

Good videos, I have really learned alot from watching you over the years. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and info you put out.

Sounds like that Subaru of yours is just the ticket for early-season hunts.

Jeremy, Thanks for keeping it real! You guys have some of the best videos out there. I like how you show the struggles and challenges. I no longer watch all the dramatized “made for Hollywood” type videos. I like the open and honest real videos like you guys make. It’s like we are hunting right along side of you. Keep it up and congrats on another public stud! Cheers!

I like how you said Daniel hunted there and didn’t see much. Must be your special spot because your videos in that area sure don’t disappoint. Congratulations on stud public land buck.

I truly love watching your channel Jeremy, I love the fact that you are constantly reminding people to not take anything for granted. Very humble and very passionate guy, definitely one of the best shows on youtube I am constantly looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work and God Bless ya'll

Congratulations, Jeremy! There is a feeling like no other climbing those killing trees.

Glad to see you got a buck. My dad and I were hunting in the same area. Had to do a double take when I recognized your Subaru and raft in one of the parking spots lol.

Another excellent hunt!!! Sweet boat!!! Congratulations!!!!

Awesome buck!!! You're an inspiration to us 50+ year old hunters!! I enjoy watching your videos!

Yeah these old boys are so down to earth. I wonder being from the south and this guy from Mississippi if ever go flounder giging at night down in gulf. Tht be a cool off season video. Congrats on nice buck.

Congrats on another great buck, you guys have the best hunting show on tv in my opinion.

Great buck! Nothing like reliving memories and making new ones. Gods Great! I soak green walnuts in water for 5 days and strain it and put it in spray bottle. Works good.

Congratulations on a beautiful buck. You are so true, on "The Grind" it is so true hunting public land bucks. It's a grind to scout out an area and find good sign on public land. Again Congratulations and can't wait for the next video. God bless and stay safe.

Another great buck ! congrats! as the saying goes.........it's better to be lucky then good!! nice work you earn your bucks! but that shot !!! wow!!

Great deer! Thanks for sharing your memories with us! I will have to try the Vanilla trick.

The ole “Texas Heart Shot”. Lucky you got the femoral artery. Nice buck.

I'm a true fan of Kudu Point broadheads and still use em.. But I seen this video, tried out these Tooth broadheads and smoked a 135ish inch buck at prolly 7 yards and it DESTROYED him! Punched through his chest, to the heart, and through the rear end. We were eye to eye. One of the most intense hunts I've ever had! Great broadhead! #USA 🇺🇸

Great show. We all been waiting to see what was gonna happen in Iowa Congrats

Skyline city in that naked tree huh?😂 good video man keep em coming.

You guys are the best me and my son and daughter do the public grind like you do I love it

Hope you and your wife and family is saved! That’s first thing to get done; then deer hunt some! Love your hunts!!!

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video!

Congrats on the buck. I came up short in Iowa earlier. Plan on going back for late archery season. Love that state. Hopefully have a few more draws left, but you are correct....never take life for granted.

Congrats Jeremy! Loved your hunts so far this year. I will try the vanilla extract tip. I have used nose jammer in the past and it has a vanilla smell to it!

Yall have become my favorite hunters. Stay true to who yall are. Congratulations on a great deer.

Really appreciate the extra work involved in self filming . Keep up the good content and i also hope you get to return to that killing tree . Love the channel here in southern New Jersey . congrats

Your are very correct about the fact that we pay for a hunting license not a killing license But in Kansas and I’m sure other big deer states have the same issue Where so many private land owners are more willing to have people pay thousands of dollars to hunt small pieces of land for a chance at big deer And that causes more and more hunters using public lands to hunt but the state’s are not gaining land for public use and wat we have are becoming overwhelmed with people who can’t afford to hunt private land

Congratulations! What a hoss...WOW! My favorite KZfaq deer hunting channel by far. I appreciate your hardwork.

I've had good luck using green pine needles for a cover scent.

Right in the bulleyes i mean browneye😂😂😂 man that was a lucky shot lol

Man that's a wild deer. You got super lucky on that shot. Congratulations!! Hard work pays off

Congratulations on another good buck we are so blessed to be able to do that I thank the lord for every opportunity iv ever had like you said don’t take it for granted it can turn on a dime for sure I have not been able to hunt this year due to an injury at work shattering me ankle breaking my leg both wrists and back in two spots but I appreciate y’all uploading videos for us to watch and enjoy especially when we can’t be doing it ourselves good lord’s willing ill recover and be able to help support y’all some threw your merchandise hope y’all have a blessed rest of the year

Awesome hunt. Thanks for sharing!

Vanilla killa, ole dan Fitzgerald trick

Nice one Jeremy , congrats beautiful Iowa giant!

Dang! Right in the brown eye! What a way to go! Lol congratulations!

Y’all are on a roll! Keep it going! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your hunting experience! We use and believe in the vanilla. It also helps with gnats while fishing as well.🦌

Big beautiful deer. Congrats man, and keep it up. Hail State!!!!

Congratulations Jeremy! Awesome deer and video !

As close to a Texas Heart Shot as I have ever seen! Great buck! Crazy Crazy!

I believe that’s what’s known as a Texas heart shot. But, congrats on an awesome whitetail. Impressive buck, tall tines with all that junk at the base of his antlers and his enormous head.

Awesome buck but it was a very lucky shot that you hit an artery and all in all you got lucky on that one

Dang Good Hunt, Jeremy! You deserve it man. KEEP GRIND"N".

Wouldn’t be possible with an expandable! Congrats!

I love using vanilla as a cover scent Congratulations frod on a beautiful buck

That’s a big old bruiser! Congratulations!

Love the hunt. Looks like an awesome place. Heading over to the website, to pick up a hoodie.

Congratulations Jeremy,that’s a big “ol” buck,wish you could have got that Monster you just grazed,man that was a straight up Hammer👍

Love your videos. Been watching for years. But That pack rack sounds exactly like what is- plastic on plastic. The real thing is the way to go for rattling. Congratulations on another great buck. U got extremely lucky with that shot.

I watched a video years ago on a test with whitetail and scents. They used everything including Aqua Velva. All the deer were curious enough to smell everything from interdigital to cologne. The wind is the most important but it doesn't hurt to mask human scent. I met Dan Fitsgerald at the AMO show in 2001 , now the ATA, along with Nugent who flirted with my wife instead of signing his book I purchased😆. I remember purchasing a case of 100 yo aged deer scent and asked my employees how are we going to sell this deer pee? The best part was we sold the whole case and everyone had a great encounter with it. I couldn't believe ! I even had a buck smell and lick tabacco spit at the base of my tree, when I still dipped. I still believe in anything that cover your scent and you believe in, can't hurt and may save your hunt in some situation but still hunt the wind. Craziset story I've ever had happen with a buck and his ability to smell where my rubber boot crossed his path. I thought this was a sure thing and did everything by the book but when he crossed my trail in, he droped down on all four and backed up until he felt safe enough to stand and run. It was crazy as if he knew to get low and out of sight. Good luck and fantastic videos. Your channel and THP are by far the most down to earth and make us feel we are hunting with you!🦌

One of a kind, true grit!!! Love the content congrats on the stud!!!

I made the same shot on my big buck this year, hit a twig between 30 yards and managed to hit the femoral artery. Very fortunate

You sold alot of them broadheads with this one 😂😂

We use to put cotton balls in a jar and mix vanilla and mineral oil. Then we would rub it on our boot and shove the cotton ball under our shoe lace to stay during the hunt.

Man what a tank of a buck congratulations

Awesome job Jeremy!

Great job Jeremy!!

Nice buck, I use the Fitzgerald vinilla killa and nose jammer. Your idea seems more cost effective tho!

Might want to have that arrow gold plated one day. 😂Another nice one, congratulations!

Congratulations on your big buck. Public land hunters are a different breed for sure. iyktyk

Congratulations!! he is a big boy

Next year I’m planning on doing some hard hunting. Never shot me a wall hanger and from watching you I’ve learned a lot. I plan on dropping me a big one next year

Congratulations brother

Gave him the ol archery enema!!! Congrats 👏

That’s the last time that buck will show distaste for vanilla cover scent😂 That was quite the shot. Ouchy ouch! I see myself in you 10-15 from now. Memories of public land spots spread out across stomping grounds. My grounds have been confined to Alabama but I’m not complaining. It’s a great state to hunt.

Great deer, great video, congratulations brother!!! You’re a machine!!!💪🏼👊🏼

First time I’ve ever seen a Texas heart shot! They are effective ! Congrats Jeremy!

Texas heart shot... sure would like to see the buck he was fighting with to break that time, if it was a buck.....good video

I've shot a couple of bucks and an antelope with basically the same shot and got the same results. The hams are full of arteries and they bleed out fast. Congratulations on a great buck and IMO you put out the best videos on the market.

Congratulations,I did not think you were going to shoot

I really like watching you guys hunt Im all broke down now I haven’t gotten to hunt in a long time but really enjoy watching your videos

Congrats man, that is a great video and awesome buck! I appreciate the hard work you put into getting into the optimal position to keel out of state deer on public land. Keep grinding!!!!

Sweet buck Jeremy!

That's a friggin tank! Great video and a great channel.

I use doe urine mixed with scent cover that doesn’t have a scent additive. I’ve had buck come down wind straight to my tree

I use vanilla as a cover scent when bear hunting. Can’t say I ever considered it for deer. As for that shot. Eeeek! Glad you had a short recovery! Congrats on the giant!

Good video. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on a great buck.

That's a Monster main frame 8pntr..congrats buddy that's a STUDDDD

Congratulations on the great buck !

Congratulations on a tank. I would love to be able to pick your brain on my deer I hunt. Love watching you guys videos.

Ive been using vanilla for 20+ years. Use it on a drag rag also. Had the fallow it right to where I've hung the rag

Excellent job on a fine buck. You are a truly skilled hunter.

Nice job! That was close to a texas heart shot. That is one lucky arrow. Congrats!🎉🏹🦌
