Massive respect to you guys for showing how real hunting works and the mistakes we all make. I hope next season is good for you guys, no one deserves it more. You guys work incredibly hard !!
Thanks for the continued support ❤️
Thanks for showing real hunting and all the work,joy,and pain that comes with it. Anybody can go to a high fence and film killing a monster for videos but this is what most of us experience and still love.
Thanks for the support Grant! We just wanna be real with y’all! We’ll make it happen next year!
Check out (Seek one)... they are allot like these guys when it comes to great hunts and amazing editing. Makes you feel like your in the woods with them
Hey I missed three times last year all perfect shots all three shots were at my target bucks and that’s why it’s called hunting and not killing keep on man
Within just a few seconds of watching your video I can tell you guys are getting really good at putting together professional quality UA-cam videos. U guys will be alright regardless of the deer hunting
Thanks Jeff! Zak is incredibly gifted when it comes to editing, glad it shows!
Nice to see reality, most of us miss & can't figure out what happened at some point. I'm mostly impressed so many people gave you permission!
Over 300 doors knocked on, bound to get some right 😂?
Great video! You guys are real and authentic. The honesty just makes us love you guys even more. Next year is right around the corner 🏹
My fav❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the support!
Dude, I feel your pain. It’s so tough. This is real hunting and it’s an awful feeling that most bow hunters have felt. I’m a subscriber and a fan, just due to your honesty.
Appreciate the support and kind words🤝 stay tuned for this season 😎
Love the video guys! You kept grinding through adversity. When you get success, it will taste that much sweeter. Be patient and lets get ready for next season. No one has failed, the journey is long and arduous, you got this!
Love you ❤️
This is my first season out in the woods, really sweet video. The ups, the downs, the joy and pain. Great video. Real deal, no faking the funk in any of this. You guys should be really proud of this video 🎉
Appreciate the support a ton🤝
Great video guys, can’t wait to see how your next season goes! 🦌 🔥
Thanks for the support Caden! And we can’t wait either…
As a a devoted hunter with a passion for film making and editing, I completely understand the amount of time you have put into hunting these deer and the hours upon hours spent editing to create a video of this quality. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t give up on your passions! Y’all are gonna have an incredible year next year, mark my words!
Appreciate the kind words, means the world! Good luck and stay tuned!!
I think you guys benefited your viewers and in no way let them down. This is a reality of hunting. It’s not a result any of us want, but it is part of what makes it so challenging. Great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words and support! Means everything to us!
This was one of the best videos I've seen from you guys. Real world hunting. I'm sure you guys will capitalize 2023 season. Good luck!
Thank for the kind words ❤️❤️❤️ you as well!
Awesome video guys! Definitely got a sub from me. Showing the grind, struggles, mistakes, heartbreak and the complete joy and excitement of hunting. And ridiculously good camera work.
Thanks for the support it means the world!!
😂 I freaking love u guys lol spinning the arrow n the truck with the log on it an both of yal keeping a straight faced😂 epic video big buck down or not we support you all for who you are and follow your passion
Hahahaha thanks for the support man
In some ways I like this video even more than the almost "scripted", perfect hunt videos out there. The cliche expression is "That why it's called deer hunting and not deer shooting". These perfect hunts for monster deer on video, is something most of us have not experienced. What happened on this video and the understandable heartbreak.. we've all had a taste of that. Great video guys, for a lot of reasons. Most of all, the honesty and realism of deer hunting. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for the support and we totally agree, we never wanted this season to go like that but it and sometimes that’s how it is is for a lot of hunters. Not too many will share when they have a bad season and only show the good. Thanks for the support and good luck this season!
Love the honesty. Hunting is a lot of work and there are countless things that can go wrong. Nice to see the other side of the "perfect" hunts. Keep it up, fellas!
That was the purpose of it, just to show it’s not all rainbows and glory haha definitely a lot of bad stuff behind the scene not a lot of people see or realize, obviously a lot of this past season was on us but it’s not as easy as some people think. Thanks for the support!
What a bummer season. On the bright side you guys are seeing/hunting bigger deer than most of us see in a life time. Wouldn’t be called hunting if it was easy, they’d just call it killing. Part of it fellas. You did a hell of a job as UA-camrs. Entertaining as hell. Keep it up.
Appreciate the support a ton, all apart of the plan! Stay tuned for this season. Good luck!
Pretty much sums up my season. Missed my biggest buck to date and couldn’t catch up to my other target. If it was easy it wouldn’t be as rewarding when it all comes together. Looking forward to watching next year. Keep grinding!
Exactly!! Thanks for the support and good luck!
Love the Mullets boyz, and what a grind! Nice job on filming, this is becoming one of my favorite bow hunting channels, you show the good, bad, and the ugly! Great representation of what the average bow hunter goes through🎉❤
Appreciate the support on the channel, content, and of course the mullets❤️ good lunch this season and stay tuned!
Zac, you didn’t fail brother. This is just a hiccup. You guys will bounce back. Keep on pushing. Never give up. A dream is worth every ounce of fight you have. Make it happen. Can’t wait for next season! Love you boys.
Love you ❤️👑
Love this video boys. I hit a giant this year was going to be my first ever buck and let alone with a bow. Thought it was a great shot and never found him. Glad to know I’m in the same boat as you guys
It sucks man…
Hang in there. Keep your heads up. And from now on AIM LOW BROTHA!
😂😂❤️❤️ note taken
Love these videos boys. Your face when you missed Neptune… god I know that feeling!
It’s a sucky one….
Keep you heads up boys!! Keep grinding!
Appreciate the support man!
S*** happens fellas…had a rough season in my home state this year. Keep after it I’m sure it’ll just add fuel to the fire. Looks like y’all have a big time bounce back in store for 2023 🔥
Fuel has been added… thanks for the support man!
Here from california, Idk much about big ol white tails but i've chase my handful of big ol muleys. i stumbled on your content and i gotta say i have a great admiration of yall doing this video. Not every season will us bow hunters be successful. and seasons like the one yall had is heartbreaking. but its part of learning for us bowhunters. proud of you guys for being diligent in your craft. New subscriber.
Thanks for checking it out and subscribing! Glad you liked it! Correct just have to keep pushing forward!
You guys have something amazing coming!! Don’t give up!! Keep going!!!

Appreciate the support man means the world!!
True hunting content. My first video of watching you guys. Earned a new sub and I’m stuck to watching y’all!
Support means more than you’ll know! Thanks for sticking around, i promise this year will be better 😂💪
Can’t imagine that heartbreak! Good work on the video boys. Hey it happens, Ya I missed a buck this year with my recurve luckily he only took a few steps and was able to shoot again and struck gold.
Glad you made it happen! Thanks for the support Ryan!
Some beautiful bucks you guys got me hooked
🪝 it’s a lifestyle 🙏🏼 thanks for the support!
I gotta be honest I laughed when you guys were sitting in the truck spinning the arrow. Tough miss. This is I believe the first video I've seen from you guys, very good. Good luck this year fellas.
Looking back i was trying not to look at zak because i was like no way this has happened again😂😂 thanks for the support and good luck to you!
I loved this video. This sport is tough and I enjoyed this as much as I do video’s of deer being killed. It’s heartbreaking but the humility is priceless. Love watching y’all. Keep grinding.
Appreciate the support ❤️
Awsome video guys. Don’t let this season determine your career. Be thankful for everything you learned and the opportunity to see these deer. Your are doing great and this will help you kill future giants.
Thanks Konnor! Your support is everything to us!
Hate to say it but king Neptune looked like he was on deaths doorstep at the time of the miss. Thanks for putting together a real
Hunting show, We have all been there. Few months and we are in the tree again. Good Luck!
Hope not! We are anxiously waiting for him now. Fingers crossed
Such a heartbreaking video but I’m glad you keep everything authentic and show the good and the bad . Definitely should have some good target deer next year
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for next year!
@@creekkings huge fan of the show I never miss a video .
Keep it up guys! You put a lot of work into these videos, it will eventually pay off!!
Thanks for the support man! Stay tuned for this season😎
I've been following you guys since 1k subs I've seen hardships and trials but I know you will overcome them! God will bless you next year and I know it! I had the same thing happen this year hit my first buck like 130 inch not a giant but had good history with him and couldn't find him after and he never showed back up. God bless you guys keep truckin!💪
Thanks for the continued support man, people like you make it all worth it! That sucks man, hopefully you get another shot!
Man, buddy. This one really hit close to home for me. I feel for ya. I went through the same thing 10-12 years ago when I made a run at chasing that dream. I put it ahead of everything. Because I believed in my abilities as a hunter and videographer. And it was one thing after the other year after year. We killed some deer but it changed the way I looked at hunting and it stole something from me that I’ve yet to get back. That’s the drive to hunt like a machine. I don’t think I’ve bow hunted now for almost 7-8 years. The last deer I killed was a 138” 8 pt behind my parents house on the ground. I think about huntin all the time but that’s about it. I don’t go. I don’t even own a bow at the moment. It sure gave an appreciation for the guys that can do this for a living. Cuz as much I lived for it trying to make it into a business put out my fire for it. Don’t let that happen to ya.
Hate to hear that man but it’s definitely a grind. Not for the faint of heart, having to shoot them with a camera then a bow isn’t easy, but we love it! Thanks for the support!
Tough season my friend, many of us have been there. Get back at em next year. Keep your head up.
Appreciate the support ❤️
You guys are awesome keep up the good work awesome that was a good video
Love that fact that yall are showing us the more "real" side of hunting where there are a lot of times when nothing goes your way and it tests your patience. just some real guys being real the entire time. this is what its all about, the highs and the lows. im sure you guys have your scents you always use, but I started using a scent eliminator from Pure Whitetail that is dirt scent eliminator and have had a lot of deer down wind of me and never blow or spook. i hope yall give it a try. just a suggestion! love the content and look forward to this seasons content!
That’s what we’re about! We’re real! Thanks for the support man
Great video fellas, that’s as real as it gets. 👊🏻
Appreciate it man 😎
Absolutely exiting hunting movie! Congrats from Germany 🇩🇪!
Thank you so much!!!
Great video!
Thanks man!!
Awesome video !
Thanks guys!!!
Heartbreaking season! But the good news, is that you probably won't have a season that bad ever again! Glad you got it out of the way! Best of luck this year!
That’s definitely one way to look at it 😅 haha thanks for the support Rye!
Just subscribed, I was watching this and when Neptune showed back up and the camera was blurry I was panicking "CLEAR UP CLEAR UP" then again the out of focus shot made him that much bigger! Well done!
Thanks for watching man haha was definitely a roller coaster!
You guys don't have a damn thing to be ashamed of. S--t happens!!! I'm heading into my 36th season and have had ups and downs. If you don't mess up then you ain't learning. I take my hat off to both of you and what you do!!! Keep grinding and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the support David, glad to know we aren’t alone haha, stay tuned for this next season!
There in trouble next season boys! Best of luck. Love the videos
Thanks so much for the support!! Means the world
New channel for me, in some ways you remind me of Seek One, keep it up.
Love those guys! Thanks for the support and compliment man!
Drone recovery. Never mind I guess I should watch the vid BEFORE commenting. It’s amazing what those big old bucks can live through. That wound looked NASTY!
Hahaha that was our plan for the next day, but no more blood made it tough. It definitely was.
Y’all got a new subscriber with this video right here
Appreciate the support man❤️
Great video. Can't wait for 23 season. My season didn't go as planned ether.
Sucks man, but we have to bounce back! Thanks for the support!
Hunt season is never easy, truth content here, love it!
I send you some luck from East Canada! 👊🏻👊🏻
Much appreciated
damn that sucks!! we all got work to do next year, because i only saw one doe that is it. so we got work to do and cant wait to see u guys take down some bonners baby!! and hopefully i see more then one deer lol
Got to get in the tree anyways! Stay at it bro!
Clean misses are the best outcomes other than a clean kill! Love your content, keep gettin after it! Just hit the sub button 👌
They are definitely better than wondering if he’s dead or not… thanks for the support man! Stay tuned for this year!
Keep after it man!!!! Shoot that bow a bunch this summer.!!! Looking forward to some redemption!!
Thanks for the support 👑😎
Hard to watch, feel for you! Great video gents.
Thanks for the support!
I love this video. So relatable. I think you should try switching releases because I think you may be struggling with target panic. But man there’s no questioning y’all’s capabilities to find deer and pattern them. I have no doubt that this upcoming season y’all will get many more opportunities!! Just keep it up and stay positive! Experiences like this is what makes an “experienced bowhunter” experienced!!! Y’all got this!
Appreciate you 😎❤️
Practice makes perfect!!!!
Don't give up you can always learn from your mistakes your content is awesome
Thanks Joseph!!
A comedy of errors but I really enjoyed this piece and I will be subscribing. Thank you
Thanks for the support!
Creek kings bringing back the MULLET... permed mullets
Yeah man we care so much about our hair we go and get it permed twice a month actually, didn’t think people would be able to notice
@@creekkingslol good deal man, awsome deer you guys tag
@@wesleyford8389 Thanks for the support man! Means a ton, good luck this season and stay tuned!
Good morning. I’m in Toledo if want to point me in any deer. Don’t forget how much God loves you. Don’t loose faith. He always blesses us
Don’t know Toledo very well, but Ohio has good deer all over! Thanks for the kind words! Keep at it God bless❤️
Wow that broke my heart just watching. Next year will be your year.
Praying for it ❤️
Way to keep after it and keep grinding! I know how hard you guys work to kill big deer! I know sometimes it’s frustrating and feels like everything is against you. We are all human and make mistakes. And sometimes crap just happens that is out of your control. Keep your heads high! Keep sowing the seeds and you will reap an amazing harvest no doubt! 🤜🏼🤛🏼👑
❤️❤️❤️🥹
Dang that was a tough season, that is how my 2021 season went,just shoot your bows a lot during this off season, and then when season starts just kill some deer,nothing will get your confidence built back up like smoking a few doe’s. Good luck to y’all this coming hunting season.
Thanks man! We are going to come back different this year! Good luck to you as well 🙏🏼
Same thing happened with my sister deer me went about 40-50 aces double lung barely hit gut and had two dogs come out to find him
Glad you got him!!
Yup you guys are the real deal bowhunting is a very tough sport there's highs that touch the moon and lows that just makes you sick to your core but in actuality I don't think you would change a thing because next time you wrap your hands around the next big one it will be that much sweeter guaranteed eventually you'll look back at this season and smile!!
Dude you get it, appreciate the support and watching the video! Means the world to us! Good luck this season and stay tuned!
Thanks for the great season fellas.
Live and learn, it wasn't in God's plan this season.
God bless both of you and thanks for the great season 🙏
Thanks for all the support Brian, means the world! Stay tuned!
Dang ,But I can taste jerky already !!! Next year they better be ready!!
😎😎😎😎
Keep em comin ! The majority of hard-core deer hunters wish they could get an opportunity to take a shot at a buck in the 140s let alone 170s to 200s !! What yall got on the list this year ? Bout time to find out
Appreciate the support man! Definitely some good ones coming this year! Stay tuned!
Helpful reminder, muscles have oxygen too. A non lethal muscle hit will have bubbles. Unfortunately experienced that myself. Commenting at 10:12
Yeah we figured that one out after talking to some people with tracking dogs hahah you live and you learn
I know the feeling all too well. I shot a 14 pointer in MI two seasons ago and my neighbor ended with him. And I shot a 30+” wide buck in Illinois this past season with my bow and wasn’t able to recover. He was a foot outside his ears on either side. Probably a new world record typical. And I also shot a 170ish 10 with my shotgun on the same property on opening night of shotgun season and also didn’t recover him. I’m hopeful that the 30+” wide one is recovered by someone and ends up in the books as a deadhead find. I can’t hardly watch hunting shows anymore, especially this episode was hard for me. I hope I can enjoy hunting the same again some day. Hopefully getting my son on his first buck this season helps me to forget what I had at the tip of my fingers.
It sucks man, it gets better though! Good luck and thank you for the support!
I was told by an old timer that's why they call it hunting and not killing. The heartbreak is real. The missed shot opportunities will absolutely destroy confidence. We have all been there at one point or another. I had it happen twice this year. One was a hair line Crack in my arrow and it completely came unglued as I released. Thank God I didn't get hurt. The next day I shot under another great buck. I was absolutely beside myself. Just have to continue to keep driving on and learn from mistakes and missed opportunities!
Yeah it’s definitely a tough pill to swallow, that sounds like a mess! Thanks for the support man!
if you wanna kill great ones you can’t shoot the good ones is exactly right for me i had a 13 point 2 year old 140s 30 yards passed him never seen him again never got pictures of him again he was the only good buck i seen all season then come to find out one of my other target bucks got hit on the road i had one good last buck on camera probably 165 inch deer biggest i had on camera but found him in the taxidermist but low and behold that 2 year old 140s showed back up with a couple weeks of season left i thought he was dead but going into next season pretty pumped (never got anything this season) love the channel guys can up the good work
Hopefully you can make it happen Noah!!! Sounds like a real stud, let us know when you make it happen!
This is a great video that really shows the struggles we go through as hunters. I had a similar year passing those good 3 and 4 year old bucks to get opportunities at the truly mature giants that you only get so many chsnces at, and ultimately I didn't get it done this year either. I found out I was spending too much time being a bowhunter and not enough time being an archer. Going forward I won't make that mistake again. Do you plan to spend more time this off-season shooting from a saddle at height to try and minimize the chances of having another season like this one? I like your content, so I gave you a sub and look forward to seeing what the future holds for you guys!
Thanks for the support and the words man! Definitely relate for sure, we plan on shooting more than we ever have at all different types where we would be hunting. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing the real deal ...when you chase certain deer the lows way out number the highs more often then not it's just part of the game I also had the season from hell hunted a mid 180s class buck in my mind he was good as dead an even looking back I would not have hunted him any different warm temps an almost constant south winds played a huge factor the whole farm can only be hunted on a north.... thanks again for showing the truth,trials an tribulations.
It sucks man you get it, we just wanna be real with everyone, it’s not how it seems on TV
Great videos! But I think it’s the “Hair!” Seriously, it the “hair do!” 😂
Hahahahah at this point we might try it 😂😂
@@creekkings Never give up! You got a good thing going on!
Have to honest guys you make great videos! Glad you showed everything sorry to see this happened. My only critique is you need to spend a little more time behind the bow during the off season, and knowing when to shoot, and pass. You guys keep it up it is great footage and videos. Hard work pays off gentlemen.
Had a similar incident happen to me with a really big whitetail doe.. shot her at 30 yards.. she turned right when I released.. hit her a hair high.. she lived
It sucks…
I did the exact same thing opening day here in Ohio, on an 8.5 year old buck I’ve had pics of since 2017. He lived and I had a second opportunity at him couple of weeks later and he caught me moving as I was getting ready to draw. Wound still hasn’t healed.
Dang man… it eats at you! Good luck this season, shoot a monster!
That stings! Next year you will come back with a new outlook and new hunger for it.. good content just have fun! Remember numbers aren’t everything I don’t know a hunter who doesn’t enjoy seeing a 140 get smoked! Get some does under your belt to rebuild that confidence
Thanks for the advice! Means the world! Stay tuned!
Should keep drone deer recovery in mind for next year
Hopefully we don’t need it anymore 😂😂
If you guys get into this situation this season, give us a call. Good production! 👍
Appreciate it boys😘
Bait makes things much more simple.
Iowa makes thinks much more simple.
Guys these are learning situations…your going to regroup and take your craft to another level…one recommendation - set up well off your bait - the bait is an attractant - but is not a consistent killing spot - this is the change that will be hard to swallow
100% thanks for the advice and support! Happy hunting!
that's why its called hunting and not killing it happens I've missed plenty of deer in my life its a part of it but once you can calm all nerves going into game time and focus on the kill spots it gets easier lol just gotta save buck fever for after the shot. but if you are having opportunities it will connect just shoot the bow ALOT ALOT lol
Appreciate it❤️
letss gooo
😎🔥👑
After watching deer drone recovery its sickening to realize how many deer get wounded and never recovered. Man that sucks.
Isn’t it crazy? Makes me sick to
The video is great. Loved it all. I’m sure it’s been said before but the bow at the 6:40 mark has the knock point set ATLEAST and inch too high. Keep after em fellas
Appreciate the support a ton man! Unfortunately that’s how those prime inlines would tune, wouldn’t tune without the nock point too high, they ended up fixing it with this last years bow release!
@@creekkings ahhh I gotcha, I’ve tuned tons of bows in my life but never had any experience with a prime. Hope you boys got a couple good ones ready to go. It’s almost time.
You guys are really cute with your matching mullets🙄
Thanks?
Dang 98% of the way to an awesome season, just that last 2%… older I get more I’m coming around to lower draw weights being all around more lethal to close range whitetail, you think about dropping draw weight at all? Also do you think you’re compromising good form at the shot? Thanks for another great vid!
You ain’t lyin… the biggest reason with the draw weight is the awkward angle of being in a saddle and not having a stable body. Even more stuff we learned that we will practice this summer! Form not really, i worked with zak a lot the couple years and he’s got great shot form! Everything is just tougher with a saddle outside of filming.
I hate that for yall but that’s the way it goes sometimes. This season was the absolute worst for me. I bumped my sight on the base of the tree one afternoon not thinking much of it until I gut shot a 5yo monster of a spike with coke can bases. I never was able to find him. Then two weeks later I made a bad shot that was my fault and hit a doe in the shoulder, arrow bounced back out and only penetrated an inch or so. If you do it long enough we all go through a spell of bad luck.
Keep your head up awesome content you have a new sub!! What broadhead are y’all using ?
Thanks for the support man! We use G5, usually a fixed blade, Montecs or M3 for bucks. The new megameats are pretty slick, i killed a doe early season with one hole was insane
@@creekkings yeah can’t bro wrong with those G5 heads I used a G5 striker V2 last season and killed a 141” nine point early October massive body didn’t score the highest but he had a 24” spread widest buck I’ve ever seen on the hoof keep the content coming excellent
@@Sharpsticks Sounds like a stud man!!
Just came across this.Was wondering how you guys were.
The legend himself… appreciate the years of support man!
I'm with ya,,I've not tagged on one yet
All we can do is stack the odds in our favor. Sometimes that’s just not enough. Nobody stays unlucky forever though.
God I hope so hahahahha
I found this guy on UA-cam that uses a really nice drone to find deer and I think if you ever have this problem again you could contact him. The channel is called Drone Deer Recovery. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the advice! Thanks for watching as well!
