  • Helen Cho and Brittany Brothers are back for a double episode. This time around they’re hunting whitetail deer in Wisconsin on the famed Duren farm with Doug Duren and Steve as their guides. In part two both Helen and Brittany get their chance at Duren farm bucks. Hobo dinners over the campfire make it deer camp.

    I 100% empathize with Brittany and how she feels when her second deer didn’t die right away. That feeling of remorse and stupidity that rushes over you is so powerful and can bring people to their knees. It happened to me last year and I made a double lung shot. It’s tough on a novice hunter to experience this first hand. She kept her composure and trucked on. Good for you. The feeling goes away over time and experience. Don’t let this discourage you. Learn from it.

      Once you experience it you come to terms with it. Iv hit deer with a high lung shot before taking out the spine. She dropped right on the spot but took a very long time to dispatch. I slit her throat but because she was bleeding so much internally it did nothing. She was just trying to suck in air in through her throat that i had slit. It was a lot to deal with, all I wanted was to finish her and stop her pain. I decided out of desperation to stab her right in the head as hard as i could. She twitched and then was still. I sat down next to her, gave her a pat and said sorry. But it happens! And it will happen again i have no doubt. Thats the reality of it. Im a trained infantry soldier and it still shook me a little. But i learnt a valuable lesson. Sometimes you gotta be out of your comfort zone and get your hands really dirty!

      I think we need to remember that, for the vast majority of game animals, a hunters bullet is the quickest most painless death they could experience. Even when they not perfect shots, if you approach the experience with respect, you are giving the animal it's place in the food chain. It's place we should all hope to end up reaching as painlessly as possible.

That feeling Brittany had when she shot the buck I truly respect and appreciate. Also... Helen not taking the shot on the doe was truly perfect. ID your target. Great job. As far as having the safety on. I've seen that happen to most experienced people.

    Brittany learned a valuable lesson and had Doug there as a mentor and friend. It's not always pretty but she should be proud of herself. I'm glad she asked if she could finish the job if needed. She didn't lock up and turn away. She stood and watched the life go out of her quarry. Not a great shot but she did that buck the honor of witnessing it's passing. As real as it gets.

And yes I do have a few American scopes and like them also but My go to rifles are the above. P.S. from New Zealand.

  • @thomasbrissee3251
    @thomasbrissee3251 10 місяців тому

    As all hunters know, it's serious business when deciding to hunt and take a shot to kill your quarry. It WON'T go perfectly 100% of the time. There is no PERFECT. Hunters understand that, it's respect for the life of the animal you choose to hunt and eat; it's also the understanding of being part of the cycle of life and the food chain. If you hunt long enough, you will have that reaction when it's not "Shot. Immediate dead animal". I appreciate that the MeatEater crew shows these real-life facts and the natural reactions of those who hunt. Kudos to you all on a great example of the reality of hunting, without making it into a "reality" (ie"scripted, edited to appear a certain way) show. And you show relationships between the humans that you are documenting. Keep it up. Hunting is not a male-only thing, never should have been from the beginning but we're getting better and more inclusive as we evolve.

    I am so glad Wisconsin got rid of those back tags about five years ago now! It is so true about the challenge of shooting in between trees. And sometimes you judge it wrong and don't see a branch in the scope but it's there and totally throws the bullet off course! Nothing wrong with taking a few does as well. They taste better anyhow!

  • @rwilson208
    @rwilson208 3 роки тому +2

    This was a great Part 2. It was videoed as real as it gets. If you have never been deer hunting or squirrel hunting, this was a great experience to watch. So many pointers. and good and not-so-good moments as far as trying to be able to see whether a doe or a buck. In one split second, it can be a great kill or a serious mistake. Hunting takes patience and understanding about what you are hunting and where you are hunting. But more important is to know your weapon of choice. Know your surroundings, make sure before you pull the trigger that the noise you hear is your target. This was a great training video for everyone whether experienced or inexperienced. Great job and a terrific video.

I never had parents who did this, so seeing a caring, attentive and helpful father is wonderful in this is great for me. Also, the women's reaction, appreciate, and respect for the animals and doing they best to reduce suffering due to shot placement is absolutely remarkable. We should give reverence and respect to the animals we kill, as they sustain us in sacrifice. Thank you for producing such a wonderful piece with such a wonderful family and good people.

    It’s a powerful feeling to take the life of one of these amazing animals. When it all goes right it is but also if some little thing goes wrong it’s even more so. It really gives you perspective on the actions you are taking and drives you to next time take the extra time, make extra sure to honor the life you are harvesting. And then to honor it once more by treating the tasty meat in a way to just enhance it.

    Brittany's buck was the best "bad" shot possible. It's unfortunate it didn't die straight out, but at least it dropped. I've seen to many gut shots and leg shots that kill me every time. It's a test of the hunter if they can power through and go out again and pull the trigger.

    It’s almost sad to say, but this year I’m planning g on tagging out early on in the archery season, hoping to get some waterfowl hunting in later... things usually don’t go as planned though.

      My plan too. My pups prefer upland game and waterfowl. I only need two doe as my youngest is going off to college and we will be empty nesters. I'll take a big buck if it comes by though. Hoping to fin a cow elk or calf too, but that won't be super high priority.
