This was BY FAR the best footage of the strategy, stalk, and kill of a buck ever produced....
I was just telling my wife that. She didn't care 🤣😭
@@Dinkslayer681 hahahaha heard that brother
I didn't think you would have ever topped that NY spot and stalk, but I am mistaken. Your ground hunts are amazing.
PERIOD!
Steve Markovitz haha! Yeah, I get a lot of that too from my wife! 👊🏼
Someone's gotta say it: the TV guys who ride out to their box blinds on their huge deer farms ain't got shit on you. This is bow hunting at it's finest. Mad props on that quick shot. This is one of the coolest hunts I've seen in a long time.
This!!!
All those guys are clowns, doubt they could even get a p&y public land buck.
I hate to say it, but all of Dudley's hunts that have popped up on my recommended so far fit that bill. Antelope over water from an established blind? As mich as I respect the hell out of him, no thank you. I'd rather watch these guys blow a bunch of stalks on antelope over the course of many videos before seeing success than Dudley shoot one from a blind.
I agree completely. Much rather watch this than hunting behind high fences and tree houses any day!!
Hell Lee and Tiffany Lakosky have names for their deer. These guys just scout out public and go stick a brute within a day or two.
I honestly don't know how shows like "Acid-washed jeans wearing 'country' singer 'hunts' on a ranch" etc survive when material like this exists.. the scene of Zach's knees just knocking was so raw, so visceral. You just cannot capture, or experience that shooting a deer with a rifle at 200, in a shoot house, over a feeder/plot.. equally important is being able to communicate the experience effectively, which you guys are so good at. Amazing job guys.
Yeah man seriously, when it showed his knees shaking I got a little jolt of adrenaline and got all excited to get into the woods!
Judson L couldn’t agree more
If Zach’s enthusiasm doesn’t get you fired up for deer season... you need to reevaluate your life!!!!!!!
Absolutely
Trump supporter?!
@AmazingOutdoorVibes one of Bidens sheep?
This is no doubt one of the greatest whitetail hunts that has ever been filmed.
Average hunter: “what’s the key to killing monster whitetail on the ground? Wind direction, scent control, scouting???”
Zack: “coffee”
lmao
And an apple. Lmao. 🍎
Correction... Good coffee lol
patience
This hunt will go down as a classic. Re-watched countless times, shown to countless friends and family. Currently the most popular THP video has 1M views. This is almost a quarter of the way there in 5 days. Wouldn't be surprised to see 4M views a year from now. The videographers and editor deserve immense credit for the success of this video. Riveting action.
This is why THP is so successful. It's real. The Drury's and the like are great people but EVERYONE IS SICK AND TIRED of prime managed low pressure private land food plot bucks. As a paycheck to paycheck public land hunter it's not relatable.
Such a awesome hunt and video production. And what a stud of a beautiful 8 point public land buck. Thick beams, thick and long tines, big knotty bases. If that buck doesn't get you fired up something is wrong with you.
I mean to kill a buck like that under ANY circumstance is admirable but to STALK a buck of that magnitude with TWO assassins is phenomenal and then to absolutely put a ninja shot on him??? Man Zach you are the MAN!!!
I’ve never before commented on UA-cam, and likely won’t again, but this deserves as much love as it can get. Incredible hunt, incredible footage and incredible production.
Every once in awhile someone comes along and completely changes the game in an established industry. THP has done that. Those who keep saying they should have a tv show don’t get it - that’s like telling Joe Rogan he should have a radio show. TV, like radio, is dead. Selling useless products while sitting on your fat ass shooting farm deer has been exposed for the embarrassing informercial that it is. This is the future.
Call the cops - THP stalked in on traditional hunting shows and murdered them in cold blood.
Let’s hunt, indeed.
Maybe the greatest comment I’ve read in UA-cam. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well said! They have definitely changed the game and are paving their own lane.
So true man. It’s incredible what these guys have done.
Great comment! Love the last part! Hahaha
Watching this video, and reading comments like this is making me tear up. This is true American greatness showcased by great American MEN!
I loved the mid-stalk break: “Can we stop there and glass, I gotta pee and stuff.” Congrats Zach!
This has to be the best fair-chase bowhunt ever recorded. Well done guys, definitely a team effort. Congrats on a great buck!
Did not realize that Zach was going under a fence at the beginning of the video, 100% thought he was trying to sniff up a deer trail 😂
I thought he was doing the ear to the ground thing just joking around
Same lmfao!
I thought he was eating grass, trying to impersonate the cows in front of him grazing.
I too thought he was going hound dog 🐶
That was by far the most skillful execution of a whitetail hunt I’ve ever seen. That was ridiculous. Congrats Zach on another awesome spot and stalk whitetail
It's the hair. Zach is quite literally growing his own ghillie. He is becoming terrain.
😂😂😂
That's funny
Rotfl 🤣🤣🤣
Guys, y'all just produced an absolute gem. I've been watching hunting shows since the early days of Jim Shockey. THIS hunt was the most perfectly planned, executed, and filmed I've ever seen. Absolutely PERFECT!
That's has to be the best stalk ever on film. And two of you. Outstanding and great shot. Going to watch this one several times. Congrats Zach and the entire team.
Absolutely second that. Best stalk on camera ever! Period.
100% agree. Amazing!
I agree 100 percent. Doesn't get better than that
Zack is a damn Ninja. Incredible to watch him pick out a spot, find his buck, stalk in like a SEAL Team operator, wait patiently, and execute a perfect kill, almost every time. Poetry on film. And that is a big, beautiful, old River Bottom Bruiser. Kudos.
I just cant get over how well you guys work together. The way you guys are changing the game is unbelievable and very much needed. Keep paving your own lane in this industry and I, like many others, will continue to follow and support you guys. Unbelievable job to all of you, and thank you so much for doing what you do and how you do it. Cheers to the 2020 seasons!
Used the same tactic in Iraq back in "04" on terrorists! Now I sit in tress. Good team win.
Bow hunting terrorists! That’s intense!
Most people after making a shot: Shhhhhh
Zack: JACOB!!! JACOB!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!
That’s what makes the THP so good ... they work as a team! None of them is as good as all of them! Awesome job guys!
Notice Zach says WE - not I - and THAT is 100% team THP
Hands down, the BEST footage of spotting the buck, making a plan then executing the plan, probably ever filmed!! I've said it several time and will say it again... you guys are by far the best hunting and educational show out there! Great job guys!
Please don’t ever worry about the length of videos because I know it is nice to be able to watch this at work at my breaks and be able to watch it all throughout the day. Gives me something to look forward to and gets me fired up to get in the woods for sure
Zach's hair is so long now he doesn't need a ghillie suit.
I told my wife last night that its a component of his ghillie now.
I thought the same thing
This sure beats watching someone hunt "the big 8" on the "hit list".
I agree but as well disagree, this is my far the coolest hunt I’ve ever seen. But as far as the hit list goes, I have gotten to know and study 2 different bucks for 3 seasons now, one was killed in rifle season, I don’t ever take a rifle out, I do hunt with 12 gauge for Michigan firearm, strictly ground hunting. I’m an addict of bow hunting, but I do have to say, there is something very cool about study and learning about the same buck year after year.
Jake and Zach are the best. They compliment each other perfectly and have so much respect for each other. Zach is one of the best stalk hunters I’ve ever seen and he was asking for Jake’s input the entire stalk. Love seeing them together and some of my favorite content is when they’re sneaking up on something!
Love learning from you two! Keep up the good work fellas and god bless 🤙🏼
I think I've watched them all...and then there is this! This episode was one of the best. I couldn't help but feel my heart racing like I was right there on the stalk and then fist pumping on the shot...the intensity was so real! Thanks for all the content...my kids and I love watching!
The best part of whenever Jake is filming, is when whoever shoots hits him with the "JACOB!" Amazing stalk, amazing footage, amazing buck. You guys are amazing, keep it up and I will absolutely keep buying the merch if you keep up this content. Best hunting show hands down, yet you guys still stay humble and stick to your roots of teaching in your videos.
Yes! Love when Warb gets fired up too on the turkey tour with JACOB
We definitely need a “Let’s hunt!” shirt/hoodie.
I second that!
I 3rd it. Motion passes.
Big ol 4th from me
I've been watching since Ted shot his big buck in Missouri back in 2018 that fell onto our farm and Aaron contacted my grandfather to get permission to recover the buck. You all do things the right way and do a hell of a job representing the hunting community. Everyone who follows you all cannot wait for the next video to drop, keep producing quality content like this! Absolutely incredible hunt
I probably say this every time I watch a Zac hunt, but that dude is the F’ing man. I have learned so much from watching the vids where he’s the primary hunter. Especially those ground-game hunts......Zac really is one of the best out there hunting in this style. Congrats Zac and team.........so glad another season of THP vids are in full swing. Hands down THE BEST hunting channel on UA-cam without question.
Out of 10,000 videos, the absolute undeniable best hunting video/hunt I've ever seen! I felt like I was hunting! Good grief that was sweet!!!
Man.... that is the most epic hunt. Words can’t even describe the excitement I have for you. Congrats!!! Love the way you guys hunt!!!
Native North Dakotan and avid bow hunter here. I just wanna say, this is amazing. Your enthusiasm and passion for bow hunting is infectious. Thanks for showcasing our beautiful state and being awesome human beings!
Honestly he is my favorite of the bunch just because of his energy and how he can move so well on the ground. Never seen anyone spot and stalk like this guy!! Awesome buck and I can’t wait to see the rest of this year in whatever states you guys go!!! Great job!!!
Forget the bow giveaways----most guys would pay a king's ransom to win a chance to hunt for a weekend or week with you guys!!
Yeah Id give my left nut
Likewise
@@ryansmith8337 yeah I'd give these two guys left nuts too!
Exactly what I was thinking
My dad and I ran into Greg and Jake at the parking lot after dark when they were in MN for the public land challenge and got to talk w them for a bit. That was pretty cool.
“Can we stop there and glass? I gotta pee and stuff” 😂😂😂😂
Coffee back at it again adding complexity to the stalk
You guys are awesome! Keeping it real, spot and stalk, and friendships! Hard to find guys that put in the kind of effort you guys do in unknown locations. Anyone can buy a chunk of land, put in food plots, stands, and then wait for the deer to come to them. Not that that's not hard work in it's own way, but picking an area out online, studying it's features, going there, spotting a buck and shooting that buck is on another level. Congratulations and keep up the great work! Thank you!
It is amazing to see you guys are able to put out even better videos than last year. This one was perfect all the way around. Thank you so much for sharing.
When Zach’s leg was going crazy that was the greatest. I’ve never got one with a bow but I’ve got close on the ground and had that shake. Like he said that’s exactly what it’s all about
Unbelievable beauty in that 8 pointer. Just perfect. giant blade, bumpy bases, thick beams...every man's dreams.
Never gets old watching you guys pull off stuff like this. The skill, talent, dedication and love y'all have for this is undeniable. Thanks for what you do.
I watched this video a couple years ago when it was first uploaded. Over the past 30+ years I can't even count the number of hunting videos online or TV that I have watched. I said it back then and I'll say it again today... this is one of the best hunts I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I always look forward to watching new uploads from THP and Zach's hunts!
I was whispering to my wife so i didn't spook the deer 😂😂
Same!
I know right? Frozen in the recliner... crap he's got me pegged! Fantastic camera work.
I was whispering “shoot! Shoot!!!!”
I catch myself doing that
That was, without a doubt, the single most extraordinary hunt I have ever seen. Congratulations to the THP team.
Incredible. The enthusiasm is contagious!! I’m all pumped up and stoked for something that happened years ago as if it just happened!
This is great guys!! Real hunting not sitting in a box blind over a food plot. The best part is you guys are genuine. Don't ever change!!
The best hunting production out there.. So refreshing to see old school hunting and not box blind hunts... Looking forward to the rest of 2020!!!!!
Buck: *sees Jake*
Zach: "Don"t let him see you"
😂 so true
Zach: "Did he see you?"
Jake: No reply
I’ve said it before and watching this footage just supports my statements. This is by far the best hunting channel ever. These guys give their all! I felt like the 3rd man on the stalk. I was shaking, nervous, and trying not to breath too hard! I truly felt like I was there. I really don’t know what else to say other than Incredible!
Jake and Zach together is PURE MAGIC! I’d watch these dudes kick rocks as long as they explained what they was doing like they do when they hunt together. The purest form of entertainment and drive to do better all in one.
That is the best 42 minute video of a single kill I have ever watched!! I was literally ducking my head to try and get behind the bushes as Zach and Jake were so close to him. Knowing Zack killed him I was still in suspense the entire time! WOW!! What an experience for you all to get to share that. After just watching it I can't imagine what it would have been like to actually experience. This year has started off amazing for you guys! Congrats Zach & Jake on an incredible stalk!! I have to go back and watch it again!
Hold your glasses up to RANCH FAIRY!
I love how you have this on film for you to be able to have it forever. Capturing your hard work, excitement, and skill to be able to show as you tell your story.
Makes me want to film my hunts, but i cant imagine the stress of trying to film while hunting.
Best spot and stalk footage ever made public! I loved it. Great editing and commentary. Perfectly documented and pure joy!
JACOB! JACOB! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
goosebumps. absolutely amazing footage
Congrats Zach
Congrats. You've become the master at stalking mature deer. My wife doesn't watch your shows with me and she was glued to the TV the entire time.
Same here... the footage of that majestic buck at that close range had the whole famiky glues to our screen. Then I told them that Zack is from my wife's hometown and playedfootball with my nephew. Really Cool footage!!!
@James Young AMEN bro. It's the HAIR.
HE WAS
I'm playing catchup with these shows and I can't tell you much I enjoy watching you guys do this. Clearly there is a passion and a love for the sport and watching Zach and his reaction to the shot after the entire thing played out is out of bounds..LOL.. man way to go guys! I'll continue watching for sure.. thanks for putting these together!
Thank you so much for changing the unrealistic trash that some folks called hunting shows. They are ALL shooting shows. THIS IS a hunting show. Thank you! Thank you! So happy for your success!!
That was about as good a hunt as Jake's bean field buck last year. Hell of a hunt.
That was a canola field actually
I think this one tops the list
I’ve never commented on any videos ever, so I just had to put this out there..this was by far the best hunt I’ve ever watched! Thanks again!
Thanks Reid!
1 minute 10 seconds in... im changing videos. It cant get any better or more relatable than waking up, dieing of lack of coffee and needing water. 15 minutes and a cup of coffee later the world is perfect lol The dance was perfect.
That was one of the Greatest Stalks I’ve ever seen. Congratulations Zach on not only a Great Buck, but an Even Greater Stalk & Shot.
THP draws blood! Always love when good things happen for Zach!!!!
I never miss an episode and I think this is possibly my favorite. We have been inspired by you guys and we have tried some of your tactics because they look so awesome. We tried a wind bump and last year my son took down a buck with his shotgun on a stalk. Not quite the magnitude of Zach’s hunt, but man, it was cool hunting on the ground and crawling up and getting one. Thanks guys. You truly are inspirational to myself and the guys I hunt with.
Your hunts are the best to watch. Honest and to the point. I keep refreshing my screen hoping a new video has been downloaded.
This is so inspiring! I am definitely trying some of your ground tactics this year. Thanks for the entertainment and information. Also great videography Jake, the man has some steady hands, especially stating that thing down at 12 yards!
Feedback, I didn’t know there was a podcast until today. I absolutely loved it!! Also I listened to the show before the video and personally it made me want to watch it more. Again great footage, great commentary, always all-around great content! Keep it up, stay safe, prayers for your travels!
“Let’s Hunt!”
Wow! That’s a amazing hunt! That stalk should be in textbooks. Well planned and executed. It was sooo smooth it looked easy. I love the pure emotions all of you’ll felt. You’ll had me just as emotionally invested in the hunt! Great hunt and editing.
By far the best hunting show. This was one of the most incredible hunts on yall’s channel. Y’all are the only hunting personalities in the business that most of us can still relate to. Plus yall’s excitement for hunting can’t be touched.
Fantastic…..I can’t stop watching this. The fun, the memories you will have the rest of your lives. Thank you, thank you for sharing your special times. You are doing what I can only dream of doing.
This is now one of my fav episodes
Just. Freaking. Awesome! That 42:55 flew by. Great hunt, and a substantial animal!
Patience is a virture and you guys consistently put on a clinic of how important it is when you hunt deer like this. I got chills of excitement watching zacks reaction to the shot and the buck goin down!! Crazy bad ass hunt congratulations to all who were involved.
This is the freakin best thing I’ve seen!! That’s how you do it! Put in the time, a BADASS stalk, public land, perfect shot! Massive congrats!
Zach that is the most exciting hunt I have watched I loved every bit of it and the excitement from you and the boys make it worth wild.I love seeing you hunt from the ground man The Hunting Public is the best show y’all all are awesome.
It's great because of the skill AND it's not the phoney "made for TV" crap.
Zach- “Should be pretty easy. Looks easy. You can tell.” 🤣😂
Wow! That's all I can say! It is awesome to be able to have 2 of you sneak so close! Zach great stalk and shot, and Jake fantastic camera work and stalk ! You guys have inspired so many I think, to get out of their comfort zone and just try something new. I know for me, I just punched my first out of state tag and my first archery deer ever, after 35 years of just rifle hunting! Thank you for the inspiration!
Every year these guys somehow take it to a new level. This is a master class of how teamwork enhances a hunting experience when everyone buys into their role. Thanks again for sharing your passion with the hunting community!
spot and stalk hunt is a lost art for the most part in todays
game afield. public hunting team game well done !
I must say WOW. what a roller coaster ride this trips stalk was.
i love how you used modern camera tools to picture the stalk in your own mind then attack using the tools plus old school ground and pound hunt.
zach and greg/team again well done ! i am long in the tooth now in life yet this live stream video made me feel alive like i was in on the hunt amazing
well done again.
Zack, I turned 74 today 7-30-47. I’ve been bow hunting since I was 12. This video is by far the finest production I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop going back and watching it again and again. I’m right there with you crawling, listening, feeling the grass and brush sliding by me as if I was there with you. This is REAL HUNTING to the EXTREME. The editing and great filming is so superior to anything LIVE I’ve ever seen and probably will ever see again. I hope that every hunter will see this video. They will better respect and appreciate the opportunities we have and help assure that our children and their children will continue to have the wonderful privileges we have today. I hope your videos, and specifically this video will ride the waves into the future for those ahead of us to appreciate. Thank you from my heart.
Good lord I think I need a cig after that! 🤣 That was better than ... !
Fantastic Video!!!! Watching y’all complete a stalk is beyond exciting!! I am so looking forward to this coming early bow season here in GA and using the techniques you guys use....
I realize great footage means more vids, means more money....that said, the REAL excitement, and the comradeship THP has with every member of the group, ( including Mindy for sure😁) is just awesome!! I hit the like button 100% of the time guys, and wish I could hit it 1,000 times per vid, .... any way to help you all out on your vision. My mornings start by rewatching 3 videos everyday! The positivity starts my day right. The world needs more attitudes like THP!!
Incredible! Zach your New York hunt from last season was one of the best bow hunts that I have ever seen. This may even top that! Amazing hunt.
Was just saying the same thing.
When I watch the movie the Titanic, I know the outcome is doomed. When Zach puts a stalk on an upwind buck, you know the outcome! Doom for the Buck! Great video! And I have never gone deer hunting in my 66 years, but I won't miss anything The Hunting Public puts out.
Dudes, that was completely epic. One of the coolest parts of the video is Jakes audio reaction after the shot. I've never heard him so excited after a kill. You guys are the best and you truly are instilling the most pure thrill of whitetail hunting on UA-cam. A great way to pump up a Michigan hunter like me for opening day. Thank you guys for all you do amd by the way Zach, we have the same truck, but now I want a cab on the back like you.
Thank you guys and can't wait to watch the rest of deer tour and get in the field myslef.
Absolutely one of the top 5 stalks ever recorded. Awesome job guys, been watching you all week.
When the buck looked towards you guys and started bobbing his head around, my heart went nuts! Badass!
Absolutely, without a doubt, irrefutable proof that 2020 isn’t all bad. Best hunt of the year...period. Kudos guys. Enjoyed every second.
“ Do what works for you while hunting” - great line Zach and very true! Awesome hunt guys and unreal team experience. This is a hunt that you guys will remember for life! Always look forward to an updated Public Land Hunting video.
When they make it look that easy, you know they're on top of their game. Every aspect of that hunt was executed perfectly - and that style of bow hunting is anything but easy.
Congrats on the big ole 8 point!
“You were up and im like i don’t wanna get up.. smoked em!”😂😂
When they shot the deer it looked like a scene out of Red Dawn. A lot of respect for easily the best spot and stalk I have ever seen.
The raw emotion shown in this video is amazing. You guys are amazing!
Keep up the great work guys. Your work continues to get better. In a period of my life where the time to hunt is very limited with family, work and studying, but love living vicariously through your hunting.
I can't remember the last time I got so jacked up watching a whitetail hunt!!! Freakin' amazing!
Well I’ll be darned. I said y’all would spook that buck and y’all proved me wrong. Congrats y’all. That’s so awesome. Keep up the videos, it keeps us all going!
There's never been a tv show produced that was better than this video. They can't do on tv what you guys can do on here. Just an unbelievable hunt! Gave me goosebumps.
Between THP and seekone, I’m already ready for next deer season. I know both your approaches are on the opposite ends of the spectrum, but they’re both new and refreshing material to watch. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching a deer age over the years, and watching him mature. But there’s something that seems just like getting back to the roots on finding a buck and stalking him.
