    What a story! I can totally see how much dedication you've put into this deer. Amazing and this is coming from someone who doesn't hunt for trophy. Love the respect you have for what you do. Bowhunters rule!

    That was a great story and such a well told journey, found myself rooting for old Floppy a little bit, but glad he was taken by a hunter who appreciated and loved him. Congrats

    Good gosh. I thought your previous video was one of the best hunting vids I've watched in a long time. But THIS one was special. The viewer can tell the immense respect you had for Floppy. What a deer and what a fantastic job with the videography. Looking forward to more. Ya'll are one of my new favorites.

    I think one of the biggest advantages that legendary buck had was that he was deaf which made his biggest strengths his smell mad e his ability to smell even stronger. What an amazing a smart buck. That shot was ballzy and a touch of luck. What an amazing shot! 🦌🦌

    To have a hunt last 3-4 years is pretty crazy. The longest I have ever had was 2. They don’t seem to last too long in public and even on private they just vanish. Seemed he limped a bit I wonder if the ears were a birth defect? Such a crazy buck.

    • @HeartlandBowhunter

    Appreciate the story, why do you keep grunting at him when you know that he is deaf or very, very hard of hearing? I guess just habits we all have and get locked in at the moment. Love watching your videos

  • @rogerborden6218
    @rogerborden6218 5 місяців тому

    When a buck is deaf you can always do the smart thing play the wind and sneak up on him to his bedding area and if he is standing still broad side no matter how much noise you make I know cause my cousin is completely deaf and no matter what noise you make he can't hear it at all I learned alot about deaf ppl and deaf animals and i used to have a deaf boxer.

    @cactuscreekoutfitters 11 місяців тому

    He probably wasn’t deaf. This is common in Texas. Usually what happened was he was born during a heavy freeze which caused frost bite to his ears and that’s the outcome

    South Ms. you never see a mature buck like that out in an open field. If you find a 5 to 7 yr old buck and pinpoint him and then kill him you can kill any animal on the planet. Hardest deer to hunt period. Nice buck dude.

  • @ryanjohnson6620

    Amazing story I've been after the same buck for now this year was the third year but he disappeared. Had him on camera for 2 years trying to kill him. Came into this year super excited and I never got a pic of them I don't know if he's dead moved on to a different property or what but I haven't had a picture of him now for almost a year last December is the last time I had a picture of him makes me sad.

    • @HeartlandBowhunter

      @kevin Johnson irresponsible? Mike practices at this distance and further year round. He’s confident in his ability and his archery setup.

    • @progolfer96
      @progolfer96 Рік тому

      Do you not agree that that was 1 inch from hitting that deer in a non-lethal spot, where it would’ve just been wounded and not found? Shots from that distance if any should be on a deer that’s not aware of your prescence and/or not staring right at you. It was very obvious before the shot took place the deer would jump the string in my opinion.
