World class story for a world class buck! Congratulations!
What a awesome video and hunting story , nothing better than sharing times like this with family especially a brother that you learned how to hunt with , as for me and my brother we've killed plenty of record book Roosevelt Bull Elk that made the record books. Even when we couldn't get along with each other we always put that away as to enjoy elk hunting like our great father showed us , its the best American Sport there is without a doubt , God Bless and excellent video and story.
Wow. That story stressed me out. It was a happy ending. I don’t know how you went to work, ate, or slept at night. The relief you had to feel finding him musta felt great. lol. Congratulations buddy
I shot my best Buck ever with the very same shot in the exact same place. My arrow was covered in red and laying flat on the ground. I looked for it but didn’t get any help, and after losing blood I lost the deer. This story gave me some peace of mind. Mine was about a 170” ten point. I’ve since killed other deer, but that one sticks in my mind. I’m glad you found yours. Congratulations.
Why wouldnt you bash the company that could of screwed you out of a world-class deer now we all have to do trial and error. Please inform us so we don't have wounded animals running around the woods
He could be sued if he did.
6/8 s is 3/4 lol so I'm assuming it's a specific type of measurement for measuring dear
My mechanicals always open up 🤷🏻♂️ some of the biggest holes I’ve ever witnessed left on the deer.
To me, world class deer should be scored on "WOW" factor, not points. This guy is definitely a world class deer.
That's a giant and looks amazing typical with some kickers just amazing
That's awesome! Good job guys! Happy hunting & stay blessed! 🙏
Waaaahhoooo! Congratulations fellas!
Why wouldn’t you show the pics of finding it
Reminds me of the spike i got this year
Brother seems pissed.
It's the way Republicans look when things dont work out like they wanted
180 net..man that seems wrong..should have it scored by 3 different official scorers..
termite122 net includes deductions. Gross score is over 200 inches
Net has everything to do with symmetry which really has nothing to do with anything. B&C and Pope & Young have turned into political machines. The score should be the score, period
Every one brags up mechanical heads till they luze the best buck of your life
Used a mechanical broadhead this season and got the best WT of my life... go figure.
Been shooting only vortex for 18 years. Never lost one yet. Shazam
No offense to anyone who shoots mechanical heads, but I for one will not ever.
Yeah I've gotten a couple smaller does with mechanicals but I'll never shoot them again. You can run across a street 99 times without looking,..eventually your gonna get hit. Same with mechanicals broadheads, that one time a monster buck decides to go behind some thicker brush as you shoot and then it hits his shoulder bone! That deer is gone! Good old sharp 2 blade broadheads are the real deal.
Fix blade is best
I’m wondering if you guys might be related to us some place down the line.... heck of a buck either way!!!
Yall’s last names aren’t even spelled the same😂😂
That is a monster ! Congrats
These guys look like they are in a hospital getting told they have cancer...jeez so bummed. wtf
All I can say is mechanical broadhead, yikes!! Tryed it been there. Don't want to ever go back, fixed blade only, live n learn, good buck of a lifetime, wow.
Great buck. Congratulations
Congrats? He went to work instead of finding the deer and coyotes ate it, he should be charged
Congrats on an amazing buck!! Hilarious ending on the video as well!! Lmao!!
Within the first 30 second you could tell you shoot the buck 😂
nice deer man. if i was in that situation I would have been so nervous i wouldn’t have even looked that day, being scared of what happened to you. nice deer though
There’s a deer farm in Alabama that grows some of the freakiest deer you’ve ever seen. Once a year they will raffle off a hunt there and it’s posted all over FaceBook. 1,2 and 3 year old bucks weighing over 250 lbs and all of them have most likely over 250 count. All atypical bucks but man are they huge! I would venture to guess half of them might be over 300. I couldn’t hunt in a farm house like that. I wonder if they even let them score them for records as they are fed the best feed and greens you could imagine and it is a farm. Be like hand feeding them potato chips and then slipping a shaft between their ribs. Don’t even need a gun or bow. But missing one that was wild and got that big from being a smart deer, that’s gotta be tough!. Sounds like ole toothless one was mad too! LOL.
Nope wont make the books behind the fence. But if that same buck got out of the fence and was killed a mile away... It can go into the books ear tag or not. total garbage.
Try my broadheads you'll like the whitetail specials...
Why is everyone saying he’s lying just wanting to know
Is that the one that was living in an airfield and those brothers cut the hole in the fence and went in and killed it and were confronted so they kept it quite? Yesh I think that's the one.
Must be Rages 3 blade, I shot a doe 5 yd and the arrow almost didn't come through other side, lost that doe and found out the broadhead was destroyed and never deploy.
lowcomtech K. When I shoot something with a rage it usually folds back together when I pull it out (if it’s not broken).
Maybe that’s what happened?
180 net? Looks a lot bigger
Prohunter2014 i know right i think it is
It was 214” gross it had a lot of deductions
180 net is a monster deer period.
WHAT PART OF ALASKA WAS IT SHOT IN ?
Hey, what camera do you film with??
Ill never use rage again
Ive killed at least a hundred deer with Rage!
Rage used only by camo whores.
No video?
Everyone makes bad shots but blaming it on the broadhead, I don’t know about that.
Mechanicals are trash
NEED 2 MORE YEARS GET BIGGER LOL
Yea....I'd have to pass. Let him mature. Lmbo
Should've just told everyone that you found the deer in caterpillar proving grounds, instead of lying that you killed it. It's a shame and this story is a disgrace to the man who hunted hard to kill this deer, in Tazewell county.
GAOutdoors21 I wanna hear about this lol
Trevor Cagle
Me too!!
He found this deer. It got taken away from him but they managed to finagle their way into getting it back. A guy I know pretty well killed this buck on private land, his Broadhead didn’t expand and he lost it when it ran into different private land. Then this video came out from the guys that live right behind it
GAOutdoors21
Wow!
They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I would not sleep well at night if I did that to someone.
Just an FYI.
Mechanical broadheads are not reliable on big bucks.
8 of us just got back from Kansas on Friday.
7 of us shot big bucks.
3 of the guys never recovered there buck.
4 of us found our buck in under 100 yds.
The three who never recovered their buck used mechanicals.
Us 4 who recovered their bucks used fixed broadheads.
Mechanicals are for untuned bows.
@@GAOutdoors21 i think you lying
Get jealous much
I had to pause it at 5:14 to say this: I hate that you have a bad opinion of mechanical broadheads, But I too had the Exact thing happen! The first pope & young buck I shot, I made a great shot on at almost 55yds in the woods. I saw him turn & dig in to run with my arrow hanging out & the shot looked perfect! Well, Once my buddy came & we started to look, after about 25yds of blood trail, we found my arrow, coated in blood with ZERO BLADES OPEN!!! It too was a 3 Blade, & I’m not scared to say the brand. It was a Spitfire… Anyhow, I made a great shot, but this buck seemed to make it over 300yds maybe more, When he shouldn’t have made it 50! So I too had a sour taste in my mouth about mechanicals, But several years later a buddy talked me into trying a 2 blade RAGE, and let me tell you what: I will NEVER, EVER EVEN CONSIDER ANOTHER BROADHEAD AGAIN!!! I have seen Deer Gut shot, in the hind quarters (Not the main artery) and STILL Bleed out in NO TIME! Please, give a 2 Blade Rage the chance, & you will be Blown Away at the hole they leave and Amazed by the Blood Trail you will have. I have shot game & been able to see the Blood Trail for as far as I was able to see the ground FROM MY STAND!!!! Anyhow, I’m going back to the video, I just Had to say that… Thanks,
How come this Deer Is Not The World Record
Because they poached it.
@@V1KTOR33 hunh
Something doesn't seem right here.......
if you look at around 9:18 you'll see my profile picture is the same thats on the cover of that book the guy on the right was holding.
Trey Johnson yeah i seen that
That’s cool
What kind of hunter shoots a deer and knows it wounded and has to be found but chooses to go to work, what a waste, he should be charged
Isn't that the way of it? His brother evidently is the more knowledgeable of the two and has been dreaming of killing a 200 in" buck. So what does life do,presents two Booners to his brother!
Can you do anything with out mike? Is he your alibi
A deer of 10 lifetimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont ever turn the motor off when you spotlight
I hate mechanical broadheads, lost a nice 2.5 yr old buck using a mechanical. I saw my arrow hit lung and found my arrow but never did found the buck. Broadhead probably didn't deploy. I will never use mechanical broadheads again.
Hlubkoj1011 mechanicals are far superior to fixed blades. That wasn’t always the case, but in the last 15 years or so they’ve excelled beyond fixed heads. You have to get rear deploying mechanicals. That, matched up with heavy front of center, thin diameter arrows and small, low profile fletchings. With that, you have a winning combination.
How do you "know" you hit the lung? Until gutted and an " autopsy" can be performed you clearly didnt hit the lungs. Properly placed shots within ethical limits of your equipment kills deer regardless of broadhead.
You can just see the cap in both of them but always remember to support your local poachers
Yeah there story was real weird...
It wasn’t poached quit being salty
Could tell 30 seconds into the video they was on some weird shit. Acted like me in high school telling a bad lie to my pops lmfao
Thats funny you mention that. Were from oregon and we hunt elk. Were really really good friends with the game warden there. And we were having dinner one night watching a video on the biggest bucks ever. And this buck came up and he said they are liars, he told us you can spot a liar very easy, especially with a hunting story. To give background he had been the game warden for 27 years at that time. Maybe the story is legit. But more likely than not I believe the buck died of natural causes or a predator and they stumbled onto it after season, and some quick thinking resulted in “theres the buck i shot at a couple days ago”. If im wrong then congratulations on a buck of a lifetime, if im right then those men will breathe their last breath thinking about that lie
He got the ten then this buck ran up and he shot both them my cuzin is friends with the family
Yea that's the biggest bullshit story I have ever heard lol this guy didn't shoot that buck
Congrats
Does that really count tho he found it a week later? To me that would be a lost deer by that point someone else could have shot it and not found it or it died from infection I mean what's the cut off what if he found it a month later it still counts?
If he shot it then fuck yes it still counts...🤨 What kind of question is that??
Us your I.Q. purple, bruh? 🤨
So you could shoot a deer find it the next season and still claim it’s a deer you shot and recovered? How do you even know for sure it’s the same deer you should at that point that’s like reeling in a fish and it breaks your line and a week later you find a fish floating belly up and say yup that’s the record fish that broke my line sounds stupid to me
Bet the broadhead was a G5 T3 cause I had the sane thing happen on a 135” 8 point I’ll never shoot G5 again
Adam Gorsline you guessed right. If you have anymore of those broadheads I'd get rid of them.
Same here, I ended up killing a 174 with a T3. One of the blades never did deploy.
i agree.. that head sucks..
Rage baby! Rear deploying blades will smoke any fixed blade.
I have killed many deer with the t3 you have the blades inserted wrong if they're not deploying.
Why would you ever use a 3 bladed mechanical broad head. 2 blades only ! Everyone knows that !
Duh again...shot with a rifle!! Pay attention here please!!
Nets are for fishing
Screw "net", the deer is what he is Total!!!!
Yes. The gross measurements are what matters to me, deductions are silly in my book...
Screw the booner bs, that deer is one of the biggest damn deer out there that scoring is such bullshit
Gourgous Buck, B 4 Deduction"s , It Gross"s ????...8 × 7...After Deduction"s... 7 × 7....14 pt....212..Excellent Buck !!!! Tay Strong....Peace
Ok let me sum this up....the brother on the left is a big baby who got upset that something that happens to every hunter at some point happened to him...while he is crying and complaining to his angry brother (the one on the right) and not paying attention to hunting, he has this gift of a deer show up right under him. "moving so slow" meanwhile if he was moving that slow how long were you crying with your head in your hands that he got all the way to your tree. Then he gets a "good shot opportunity" and muffs it...hit him back..(fine we have all done that too.) BUT rather than back right out he knows he killed it...but they proceed to jump it out of 4 beds! WOW. they have to wait days for the meat to spoil and be eaten by coyotes and crows before they can claim the rack. This is sickening and I pride myself on doing pretty much the exact opposite of every single thing this guy did!
yeah you sure do have a lot of pride
Totally agree with you dude, these guys literally did everything wrong. And the story seems fishy as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if they poached this deer at all. They could've shot it with a rifle, let it lay a couple days and let the coyotes clean up the mess they made, then say it was a bow kill sooooo easy.
Did that deer just fart ?. Lol.
I tried to zoom in on the neck fur on that mount. It does appear to be worn out where he wore a shock collar. I don't think he was on the phone. I think he was on the radio getting the message the buck would soon be near his stand after it was released.
Your about dumb as fuck
Pretty arrogant to wish the deer had scored A little higher. Who shoots A great buck like that and would be disappointed it wasn't bigger. With all the deer behind them I'd think they would know how to score A typical rack by now. I'd have A smile from ear to ear if I got A buck like that every time I saw the mount.
Outstanding deer that anyone would have been proud to bag, especially with a bow.
To me if the deer grew it you should score it, not deduct it.
nice buck!sucks coyotes got to him first! waste of the meat!
Esta perfecto
I would be shaking so hard
Story behind it is that it’s a high fence buck. Fed a steady diet of antler grow and steroids. Big question is... who took the tag out of the ear?
It’s not actually
Net score Is a joke
thumbs down for the loud intro
Story time! For grown men.
Lost every deer I shot with mechanicals
but,great deer!
Tell my kids you shoot an animal you don’t leave the woods without it.
gawdang moose 😮
6/8ths......so.....3/4
I have seen deer at both residents I have lived the last 45 years. I saw many at the rural place both does & bucks. Never shot one. However I have also seen does with fawns crazing in my present city residential yard. I one time saw two does with fawns in my yard. One fawn very small. I now live within the city limits but a long nature trail and creek are nearby. I hated to cut my grass but there is aggressive city code enforcement. I have many guns but I would never shoot those deer. I had rather enjoy watching them. Shooting them in city limits might get a person in hot water with the law as well. I care nothing about trophy animals. I do understand hunting for food. The coyotes getting this deer was an awful waste.
How so? The coyotes and crows are good
Why do y'all think he was so hard to find? I'm a non hunter. Sorry. Lol
Best guess, not all the blades opened so there wasn’t much damage to the deer.
@@raymolegacyhunting9954 I wonder how far he went before he finally dropped for good. Originally I thought he used a bow. I was like dang 3 arrows he was a ruff cookie
Lies, shame shame
big monsterug what had happened lol
Who cares
Jealous much
You, or why would you comment?
I can’t believe that huge buck sat out there for days that’s one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard you never did end up saying how far the buck was from where you shot it that’s so sad to hear that the coyotes ate the buck that huge majestic animal ends up being scrap food for crows and coyotes and then mounted on a wall like it’s an accomplishment!
All I heard was we are rich and can pay to hunt deer
My opinion there truly world class snobby asses
rich in peoria il, lol
Alexander Gordon Peoria Il? That's where I live hahaha
Alexander Gordon crazy how that big of a buck was killed here
You need to be rich to hunt?
Way to let the coyotes eat the meat. But hey,.atleast you got what you really wanted
Russian Bot #19538532 Goes to show you aren’t any type of actual hunter. Maybe you didn’t hear them say they looked for it “all day” for several days and the blood essentially disappeared. Another jealous POS lol
@@aaronlitman4557 goes to show you that they didnt look good enough when the coyotes got him
@@cwstewartjr1973 If you knew what you were actually talking about i would continue this argument but i can tell youre very ignorant on the subject. You cant fix stupid. smh.
@@aaronlitman4557 yeah too bad you cant fix yourself. Ive hunted for 30 years and have never left an animal to be eaten by coyotes. Ever. You track it till you find it.
@@cwstewartjr1973 ok boomer. Hard to believe, which i dont, that youve found ever single animal youve ever shot and have always had a consistent trial of blood. i dont know who your are trying to lie to. ive shot deer and had coyotes on it within one hour. your acting like these guys didnt even try lol. Jealousy is an ugly trait my friend.
Biggest liars ever
Another big farmed deer
Ernest Clure lol very funny may be u should move to the Midwest and see for urself man.
You don't seem to pay attention here Ernest!! Wild and free!!
you must be a "if its brown its down" dumbass
Real hunters don’t care about the rack if it’s legal it’s good it’s not about the trophy it’s for the meat
Mario Hernandez that is an opinion.
If you hunt for a trophy you’re still a hunter.
We all hunters here I’m a trophy hunter but I say if you have fun killing anything go for it it’s all abt what makes ya happy
Ok sure, but if you're a "real hunter" you shouldn't just shoot the first thing that walks out. Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with somebody killing the occasional spike or doe for the meat, but if you do have the opportunity to harvest mature animals, you should definitely try to.
I hunt for meat and for mature animals. I'd rather shoot something mature, then something young. Think about it.
STOP NOW
Shootin pen raised deer in a High fence ranch is like shootin fish in a barrel. Not impressed and yall shouldn't be braggin on some bull shit like this. Look at me!!! I'm a big time deer hunter!!! woo hoo!!!!
Non too much to be proud of if the animal isn't killed effectively. Waste.
Dean Williams shut the hell up. He couldn't help it that his broadheads didn't deploy. I agree it is a shame, but don't hit on the guy for something that wasnt his fault
Not to mention they never gave up looking
Actually, from a biological perspective, hunters could just leave the deer afield and it wouldn't be wasted. There is no waste in Nature, unlike in modern diets and associated trash and unknown energy costs (packaging, transportation, etc. ad infinitum). I'm not recommending this, however. Getting too far from meat results in alienation and hunting only for killing.
Dean Williams that's why I only use a fixed Broadhead
That's bow hunting and sometimes gun hunting ,glad you found it !
