    It took us all of 192 hours to get 192 inches worth of antler. A Boone and Crockett record book entry in the making.
    Through thick and thin, I know Matt will have my back. This hunt took us on an 8 day whirlwind from hot weather to deep snow, we survived and thrived. We had to deal with everything that Colorado could throw at us and somehow we came out on top.
    I am thrilled to bring you the most produced project I have ever worked on. It's taken sacrifice and dedication from everyone, so please enjoy and make sure.... to keep it wild.

    For all those commenting on the concerns of us not actually checking for a hit on the first deer, I appreciate your concern and respect for the animal. As you can probably imagine, it’s tough to get every single second and word spoken on an 8-day hunt. After that first bout of shots, we planted ourselves on the edge of the pines hoping he would pop out. Right as we were making a plan to walk over and start tracking, he showed himself on the opposite edge with his 3 does as if nothing had happened and with no damage. Once we confirmed he was good, he crested over the ridge and disappeared out of sight. No injuries, no blood, no dead deer. In that moment of frustration, the last thing I was thinking about was filming. So again, apologies for the confusion, but I can assure you that we do our best to ensure the long term health of these animals.

    I feel bad for that trigger

    Do you always slap the trigger like that? At 100-200 yards it won’t matter but you start getting to 300+ you’ll pull your shots. Should be a nice easy trigger squeeze. Sweet buck though!!

    Great buck and good sticking to it. Highly recommend some ballistics classes and then range time. I saw in another comment you didnt know what bullets you were shooting, bullet choices matter, especially at range.

      That’s a 300 ultra mag. I’m not sure the brand of bullet though.

    Sounds like this hunt was a couple weeks ago. I may have drove through that snow storm from Hot Sulpher Springs to Wyoming. I am trying to plan a Colorado Elk hunt next year. Hoping a lifelong dream comes true.

      @@SomethingInTheWild for sure man. its tough. Maybe you know ofthe guy but if not, look up Joel Turner. I started using his shooting mentality for archery and its super helpful for shooting a rifle as well. its helped with trigger control and being absolutely present during the shot. Anyways... great job and fantastic buck!

    Loved this video. Some real, even if imperfect hunting. It’s on the job training out there. I think other commenters are right about some mistakes made but I’ll admit I have made similar mistakes. This provides a great opportunity for us to learn and be better.

    Went from " a forked horn or quite frankly any mule deer buck" to that giant!😂 I won't say you didn't put in the effort and don't deserve it, but damn that might be the luckiest shit I've ever seen. I also will never say I'm the greatest shot, but it may be something you want to work on at distance from an ethical standpoint....which quite frankly should be most important. Trigger "squeeze" my friend, not yank. And you prob ought to go look for blood where he was actually standing, not just through the spotter😬. Don't want it to seem like I'm just talking shit, just observations. Nice work, incredible buck.
