@@jayteadesigns such as? I’m not trying to be snarky or sarcastic, I honestly want to know what methods of population control you know of that don’t involve killing the animal.
@@elizabethweigle6146 I really didn't think anyone would ask! Yes, there are compassionate programs where they would catch a dear and provide a birth control method, injection, or otherwise. The technology is there and there are enough compassionate people who would glad to help!
jayteadesigns Who is paying for all this? Easy to say all that but when it comes down to it hunters and fishers are the ones who *provide* the state the money for conservation.
Thank you, Tim, for the update. I do not hunt and I live a plant-based lifestyle. However, I respect your right to live according to your own beliefs. Having said that, you were extraordinarily compassionate to the doe and respectful to the buck as you ran him off. You perfectly illustrated how hunters can be friends of animals and have shown me and others that "hunter" is not synonymous with "animal-hating butthole." Thank you sincerely for the lesson.
A lot of the people that comment rude things to you, they're a lot like that buck, whole lot of testosterone and ignorance. Thank you for taking the time to preserve her life.
Not only toxic comments, but straight up disgusting. There were so many sexual jokes which is unfortunately unpreventable given the mood of the video. It attracted some of the darkest minds on the internet.
@@allaboutroofing2 the comment on the first video. Was rude he should have left the doe alone to people shouldn't eat meat...it was just ignorant comments.
People will attack you for shooting animals People will also attack you for saving an animals life possibly including their child People like to get angry at things to make themselves feel smart and important
Contrary to what anti-hunters think - this is how the vast majority of hunters and outdoorsman are. We aren't bloodthirsty killers. We care as much or more about critters than most. Thank you for putting your experience on the Tube bro!
I dont hunt. Thing is if we didn't have deer hunters the deer population would be so bad and over populated. Like I said I don't hunt. Too much time and money for me. But I do eat it when my friends bring it too me. This is about a guy doing the right thing at the right time. That buck is an abuser.
Thanks for your update. I'm a senior that used to hunt. I think you are the example of a real hunter. I wouldn't kill anything I don't eat You have morals that spoke to you, not killing that buck. I'm so touched by your ability to exercise your level of moral application instead shooting that buck. God bless 🦋
The Internet is a mean place. Kids kill them selves over being bullied on the Internet. You're a strong compassionate man and I completely agree with everything you stand for. 2 years later I'm just seeing these videos and you're still getting comments. I hope more good than bad. Your children will be great people as well through your teachings. Thank you.
I agree with. When I saw that video, I noticed that the doe looked very tired, especially with a buck harassing her like that. I hope that the doe is alright after being saved
As a Native American, I appreciate this guy’s hunting ethics. He expresses his position in a healthy spirit and mindset. Those that never had to rely on living off the land or have firsthand knowledge about hunting, need to shut their trap. Ha! Anywho, he’s not out to annihilate an entire species! Like the buffalo! Let’s learn from history. This guy provides for his family and teaches his kids! That’s more than most guys are willing to do! Keep going my white brother!
If you truly live off the land you grow things to eat. You don't kill things. People like you just refuse to evolve and never want to let go of their immature mind set.
@@lindamurphy5033 I think it’s more unevolved and immature to tell a Native American how to live their life esp if you’re assuming that I only eat meat. Bozo. 🤡
@@lindamurphy5033 what's the problem with hunting??? Have you ever had deer meat? P.S. do you "grow cows and pigs??? Living off the land, you hunt, fish and grow vegetables and fruits. You use as much as possible of what you acquire. Your comment says nothing
I know this, comes two years after the original post. I’m not a hunter, but I totally support what you do and what you decided to do on that day 100%! You actually gave me a new understanding of hunters!
As someone who would never hunt myself as I can't bare the thought, I can say you're a great example of what a huntsman should be. Not somebody who poaches, that's no longer hunting. It's, well, *poaching.* You quite possibly saved that doe's life.
I agree. At least he didn't do like my brother-in-law one year. He and my sister went hunting, and he got one. Just because it was under some briars, he left it. He didn't even attempt to get it. So there was some good meat wasted.
I'm an animal rights activist and I still do deer hunting every season, they are not completely oxymoronic to each other, and you helping that doe was an excellent example of that fact.
Unfortunately with deer it can be necessity for hunting seasons, due to thing like overpopulation and wasting disease. I'm all for humane treatment any animal but humane choices can be difficult ones.
I wanted to say thank you. You did the right thing for that beautiful Doe. I am 13 and you inspire me. I love animals and want to be able to work with them someday so I can help and comfort them the same way you comforted that poor Doe. Hats off to you. Take care.
I've never seen deer behavior like that buck was exhibiting. We need more hunters with ethics like yours!!! We hunt as well and we eat what we kill. Thank you for saving that little doe , she was so sweet and deserving. Keep doing what you're doing because you ROCK ❤❤❤. Much respect to you and your family 💕
As a fellow hunter... You did the right thing for that Doe. Running that Buck off not only saved her life but it allowed her to bring more deer in to the world
Oh great! He ensured the deer population will continue to suffer under human rule! Humans don't deserve to live among great creatures. Most humans are evil a-holes!
@@claireh1672 you know deer over populate and if they over populate they eat tons of the plant life preventing other herbivores to eat they end up starving to death
@@shirodaddy3046 So do humans! Killing them is not the answer! China has a policy of forced infanticide. If humans have to kill to control a population; then that's the same as failure! There are other ways to ensure supply exceeds demand. Even if that includes preventing them from being fertile. And ensuring land is deliberately set aside for nature; well off the beaten track. Where humans are banned from sharing its bounty.
This is a gem of a video. One, thank you for calling out the hate you received - you did it in such a calm manner, and that's refreshing to hear in the midst of cancel culture. Two, thank you for being an ally to wildlife - helping that doe, not killing the young buck, giving your cows little pats. The world could learn from people like you. Kudos.
I'm not a hunter, probably never will be. I love that you stayed with the doe when the buck roughed her up. I would have done the same thing. I don't like hunters when they're killing for sport. But when they're hunting for survival and/or for the meat and not just the trophy I compleatly understand and agree with it. I also stand for animal rights, and I agree that over population does kill more animals then hunting. I think you did an amazing thing,and thank you for the update
I’m fine with hunting as long as u give the animal a chance cuz we use to hunt and get hunted ages ago but we never used to use a gun from a 100m away, a bow is a bit better but if u got a compound bow sitting high up in a tree tf r they gonna do
The term "sport" hunting came about to differentiate it from the then-legal market hunting, which the hunters themselves wanted stopped as it was destroying the wildlife populations. Back then, "sport" was used in the term of "sporting" (i.e.fair), NOT because hunting was or is considered some kind of sport like baseball. Killing for antlers only is ILLEGAL. I do not know any hunters who do not have a deep respect for and knowledge of the natural world. I have spent decades fighting for natural areas; I`ve already mentioned that I`ve also rescued injured wildlife incl. deer (whom I can calm with my voice). I have spent most of my life in the Forest without a television set or any other kind of screen. Willi B. in Canada.
@@boleidi4936 YES, and this applies to Africa too; Kenya, which banned hunting in the `70s, has a terrible poaching problem. Legal hunting supports habitat acquisition, biological surveys, and ANTI-POACHING efforts. In Africa, the meat cannot be brought back to N.A., so it is all eaten at camp- - -and donated to local people, which greatly reduces subsistence poaching. The movie stars who try to shut down hunting have no idea of the damage this would do to the wildlife if they were successful. Willi B. in Canada.
You did the right thing. Poor girl needed a break. If she really was old, as you suspected, then she probably didn't have the energy to fend off that youngster. Side note: the male may have been doing that on purpose. An unknown trait in deer behavior - if a male thinks a female he's not bred with to be pregnant, then he might intentionally attack her sides and belly to force her to lose the baby. For all we know, he could have been following and harrassing her for days waiting for some similar outcome... That sounds brutal and awful. Thank you for your kindness to that poor, tired girl! Please post if you encounter her again!
You are so wholesome. You are the definition of an ethical hunter. I salute and appreciate you sir!! Thank you for being kind to that doe, and even the buck as well!
I'm an Animal Management student (3rd year), I've never been hunting myself and don't feel as though I could. But, hunters like you are the hunters we like and talk about in conservation classes. Not hunting for trophies, not hunting like it's some game, not doing it to see animals suffer. You're compassionate, knowledgeable and smart. You know how many animals to shoot and which ones. I can really appreciate the fact you didn't shoot that buck, as I know some others would have. The way you stayed with that doe to make sure she was alright and that the male had left is very commendable. Keep doing what you're doing, keep giving hunters a good name, and thank you for not over-harvesting
I have hunted for over 50 years! I have taken every North American big game animal with the exception of a moose and brown bear. You sir, absolutely did the right and responsible thing. Don't listen to any of the static.
Good for you sir!! I grew up with a family who rescues animals. My mother started the SPCA in South America. I am still involved and I’m a hunter who ethically hunts to sustain themself. I have nurtured wild animals back to health and have released them. The owl I rescued, came back to visit me for years until I moved. Good for you! You’re awesome
As an animal right's person who used to think that all hunters were nasty, my world was changed one day in a college composition 2 classroom when a fellow student who was a hunter proceeded to grill the meat of a deer he had hunted himself for the whole class. That was the first time I had ever eaten deer meat in my life, and it was damn tasty. He did it as an interactive way to share his essay on real hunting, not that awful trophy hunting that most activists know about, or poachers who are the ones driving specific animals to extinction, but the kind your talking about, just hunting to provide for yourself and your family without taking more than you need. The kind of hunters that understand the environment, you know the law of the land, you know the animals you hunt well and have a healthy respect for those animals. Those are the kind of hunters I respect the most. Being an animal rights person doesn't have to mean no one has a right to eat animals or that all hunters are bad, but unfortunately, those people are the loudest. Pay them no mind. Those are the people who shout about things they don't truly have an understanding of. Animals eat each other in much crueler ways, but humans can make the choice to make their ending painless and their lives happy and healthy. We just don't. Fuck those hunters that have no respect for the animals they hunt and that spare hunters like you none either. They don't deserve the time of day, but good on you for being respectful anyway, despite how horrible I'm sure those people have been to you. Have an awesome day!
Hi there, Timothy. I'm currently getting my degree in environmental science/ecology, and I just wanted to say that as someone studying this stuff and hoping to work in the field of conservation for a living, you absolutely did the right thing, and I truly appreciate your approach to hunting. Overpopulation of deer, especially, is a HUGE problem ecologically, devastating natural resources and making it impossible for future generations of deer and other species in the area to survive. Limiting the population of deer via hunting, taking every part of the animal, and using that deer to provide for yourself and your family is what hunting should be all about. There's a huge difference between trophy hunting endangered species or poaching, and ethically hunting an overpopulated species as you are here. I tip my hat to you, sir. Thank you for spreading the message of ethical hunting - or rather, hunting as it is MEANT to be done.
No one should have an issue with someone that hunts responsibly to put food on their table. I was a vegetarian for over 40 years and always thought the same. My reasoning for being vegetarian was that if I couldn’t kill my own food I shouldn’t eat it. I deeply disagree with factory farming. I eat a little meat these days but only game or free range organic. I also think what you did for that deer was exactly right, and hopefully that buck will learn better manners next season. Ignore the internet crazies 😊
Yes precisely, i’m vegan and there is such an enormous difference between what he does to feed his family/ control the population/ help the environment versus the atrocities the meat industry commits. In spite of my distaste for meat, I have nothing but respect for this man’s ideology- if all meat eaters thought like this I think the world would be a much better place.
If they have a problem with that then they have a problem with all predators hunting prey for food. Since it would be more cruel to kill off all predators until they're extinct so deer or other species would no longer be prey and live in a peaceful utopia then yeah their rhetoric makes no sense. But hey don't expect them to use logic.
I'm vegetarian. My daughter is vegan. I just want to thank you for being a kind compassionate hunter. Gives me a new respect for people like you who hunt responsibly. Thank you for sharing your videos.👍
All hunters, hunt respectfully. And eat venison pridefuly. For you eat what you hunt and have a right to provide. And have the right to earn you keep. The people you probably expect is the people that hang testicles of a male buck over a hanging tree. As or rip off doe tails and filter their urine for the next year. Those people are the people we shun.
Just a news flash but you will find that to be true with a lot of hunters. I am an avid hunter and have maybe only killed 1 deer in last 15 years. We spend most our time caring for the animals and making their habitats better. Also take in mind that the money hunters spend on things like hunting license are how the gov raises the money for conservation efforts. Also, a great deal of animal habitat wouldn’t be there if not for hunting. Regular people may care when they see it on social media but they don’t spend any money or do anything to help. Everyone needs to have an open mind that is what is wrong with things today
As a hunter for over 58 years. I hunt for food for my family, only take what we need. We only take older deer. We bless the animal for the life they lived and saying thank you for there generous sacrifice. Your a good man. 👍🏻
I really dig your voice!! I wasn't expecting you to be in ur 40s you sounded like a real young Matt Damon in that Doe video. Anyway great videos. You should get on here and tell stories you got the voice, nice to listen to
Omg! I thought the same and at first when I clicked on the link and seen him, I thought I clicked on something different until I heard his voice. I was expecting to see a young cowboy in tight fitting wranglers and a George Strait hat on. Lmao. His entire attitude and voice makes him a cutie pie in my book all day long 🤣💙🤗🤠
You did the right thing in that you saved her and yet you also realized he was a young dumb buck who still to immature and needs to grow up. And for anyone who doesn’t understand hunting is a necessity to keep the animal population healthy, they are ignorant uneducated and hopefully will read other comments that will wise them up. If they choose to remain ignorant and uneducated that’s on them. The rest of us who hunt and love animals support you.
It's just sad that anyone, hunters and non hunters could have said anything remotely negative about what you did. That just tells me that the hunters (if they are) probably use illegal hunting practices and most likely take untagged deer and kill for just the thrill and take just the trophy and leave the meat. You came upon something that was not right and you did what any human being would have done. And besides, Olivia Benson from SVU would have called that sexual assault. Lol.
Yeah here's the thing deer aren't human and can not understand these things you placing responsibility on the deer for actions out of his control is laughable
@@scott5388 he was just helping the female what's the problem? 🙄 y'all be talkin out y'all ass. The dude still wasn't acting right even by deer standards, that wasn't normal
Many don't realize the damage over browsing is doing to forest, field, garden and even the soil. Hunting, fishing, and farming develop awareness in all senses of the entire surroundings as each moment unfolds, all while practicing self control. This gives the gift of being grateful for all the gifts of nature and life. Thank you for the chance to reflect on this stuff.
The poor lass was so exhausted and you certainly did the proper thing in my opinion. Your respect for hunting as a way to feed your family and the wildlife that you hunt, good man.
Just because what that buck did to her is part of nature, doesn’t mean it’s a pleasant thing for the poor doe to go through. I’m sure she appreciated the chance you gave her to breathe and recover her strength. Nature can be cruel and unrelenting; it couldn’t hurt to show some kindness where we can. Perhaps by not killing the young buck, he will mature and be more prepared the next time breeding season comes around, and hopefully the next doe he breeds won’t end up like that girl did. It’s a learning experience for him and he may learn to properly breed later on. Thank you for understanding that; as a fellow hunter, it’s both infuriating and enlightening to see such hatred from people towards hunters, or anyone that would have done what you did. You’re right, the internet can be a bad place, it’s sad really. People turn on each other and pull anything out of their sleeves to rile each other and be mean. Nonetheless, you did a kind thing for the doe and buck alike, and I respect that. Hope you have a good day and you and your family stay safe!
@@justsomelochnessmonsterony8265 Of course! It's terrifying to wonder what kind of people are on this planet upon looking through the comments. People act like animals should have the same logical reasoning as us, when in reality, they don't. It's just nature, and nature isn't always pretty whether we like to think otherwise or not.
I think you did the right thing. She was old and possibly done with breeding or just wasn’t ready to stand. I say kudos to you sir. Glad you’re helping with the population control by hunting. And who doesn’t like deer meat. God bless you and your family.
Anybody that cussed you for "interfering" are heartless! Lacking Empathy which I have more than my share of which is why that was so hard to watch. Coming from a family of hunter's myself I get nature but to NOT INTERFERE... WOULD'VE BEEN CRUEL TO HER. THANK YOU FOR STAYING BY HER SO SHE COULD REST A LITTLE. YOU WAS AWESOME!!
Im a hunter aswell and absolutely love animals. Great to see representation of what hunters are actually like. We love nature, we love animals and we care so much about the environment and ecology.
I'm sorry there is no explanation or excuse that is good enough but the fact that you say you love animals and yet you killed them that doesn't make any sense and it makes you a murderer what kind of animal lover kills animals? Total bullshit
@@karenanderson9884 A lot of people are animal lovers without being vegetarians. Now, a lot of them might just by anonymous meat from the grocery store, but is that any better, ethically speaking? All you're doing when you buy meat is paying for someone to kill an animal for you, and if anything it's worse because of the inhumane conditions of the factory farms most of that meat likely came from. At least with hunting you know the animal was free range and allowed to live a very natural life up until the time of their death.
@@karenanderson9884 STFU. My family hunts and we love animals. Hunting is necessary to keep the deer population down. The first thing I was taught about hunting is that we only take what we need; and that we don't disrespect the animals we kill. We also try to kill the animals as quickly as we can so that they don't suffer. I know that this is a lot of information for your brain to process; but the fact is is that hunters are not heartless killing machines hell-bent on destroying all wildlife. So how about you shut up and keep your stupid opinions to yourself.
@@karenanderson9884 - clearly you are a product of revisionist studies which in your case has taught you zilch about the definition of words attached to emotions.
This man makes me proud to be an American 👏🏻 no matter your personal beliefs, he did what he thought was right and that is the purest act of kindness! He has a lot of respect for the world, people and animals alike! Lots of love!
Well done sir! I’m a Montana girl and I grew up hunting with my dad. That’s what we ate! Deer, fish, antelope...if we hadn’t hunted when I was first married we would have starved! The critics would be the first person to die in a zombie apocalypse.
Internet trolls get off on feeding negativity. Please don't let haters change you in any way. Thank you for saving the doe. He was gonna drown her, stomp her, gore her, or otherwise maim her due to his inexperience and loss of control. In my opinion, you helped an abused female escape her abuser. Nice job!
I’m not a hunter, though I did grow up around a few. Massive respect for helping out that doe. The internet is toxic and hateful by nature unfortunately, but I hope you and your family have a pleasant New Years.
I think what you did was completely appropriate. You were checking the welfare of both animals. I’m glad you gave the doe some love she sure needed it.
I'm not a hunter but I understand the necessity of the situation. It was actually refreshing to see the compassion so close and real. I know some guys that act like a bunch of Neanderthals when they get together to hunt. So Thank you Tim!
I dont hunt and never will but I 100% understand hunting to feed your family. I wish there were more knowledgeable hunters like you ...letting the younger live and thrive. Thanks for watching over that Doe!❤❤❤
I am not a hunter but I understand that hunting deer helps keep their population down, which in turn keeps disease in check as well. I greatly appreciate your stepping in to help her. She needed you. You are a good steward of what God has given you.
I usually am against hunting but I love how respectful you are to the animals. Hopefully you don't just kill for fun, and actually use the animal but thank you for helping to keep the numbers at a good state and even helping some animals. Truly a kind-hearted hunter. 😁👍
There really are some insane people online. My husband and I both hunt and we just got my daughter into hunting as well and you did exactly what my husband and I would do and I just want to say thank you again. My husband hunts the same family property every year and he has made a friend who follows him into the woods and sits on his head and then follows him out for the last two years a Ruffed Grouse. He has the funniest videos of her sitting on his head, walking him to his blind and following him out. It’s the strangest thing. Animals are amazing and I’ve found that sometimes just being in the woods is better than getting a deer. Happy hunting everyone.
Oh honey yeah there's a lot of crazy comments on UA-cam there's definitely a lot of immature people here please ignore them I hope you continue to post and share thank you
Again, thanks for protecting her and making sure she was ok. You showed a side of hunters I’ve never seen. Bless you sir! Those people that disagreed with your actions would probably not stop a rape in progress, there are far too many people on the net that show their worst possible side.... cause they can hid behind an icon without their real name. Most are cowards....ignore them.
Meet more hunters, then! You`ll find that the majority of us are deeply concerned about the environment and yes, we do love other animals. I can`t eat a deer if I know him personally! Willi B.
I'm an elk hunter and totally agree with what you did. You are right about hunting. Hunters care about the animals. I'm glad you helped out that doe. Great job!
Thanks for the follow up. You seem like a real compassionate person and I wish more were like you. Great video, and wish more people understood hunting and would hear you out.
I love how down-to-earth this guy is. He seems like he'd be a nice guy to hunt with. And you probably won't see this but I think you did the right thing. I see it as you saying "thank you" to God for the deer He provided you with earlier by taking care of another deer. God bless. And thank you for this and the other video.
We have stray cats where we live they keep the field mice pop down plus a few foxes nature needs balance people like you help nature keeps that balance
@@raerohan4241 I agree with the spaying and controlling cats. My cat however is to lazy to hunt. Won't lift a paw to shoo a fly away. The only thing he will hunt is a sunny spot on the back of the couch! 🤪😆
Saw your doe video, and then this one. What we need is MORE HUNTERS like you. You have 100% of my respect. You should be a spokesperson for the wildlife commission to teach good ethical hunting and Stewards of the hunting communities. Thanks and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
It's a good thing you did rescuing that doe. If you hadn't stayed with her he probably would have come back and killed her. You gave her a chance to rest and recover. Bless you. Btw I hunt too. Screw those jackwagons that criticized you.
I knew you had to be a dad because of how you were sweet to that Doe. You have my respect for showing so much compassion to another living soul. And im so happy she lived ❤
A true "Mother Nature's son" I appreciate you. I grew up hunting and have no issue with it as long as the animal is being used. Teddy Roosevelt was a great hunter and one of the greatest conservationists of his time.
Here in Germany being a hunter is actually a proper regulated job for wildlife care and conservation. Since we barely have big predators cause of our past we NEED them to keep things balanced.
You are amazing you save that doe's life. You risked your life to save her. Hunting keeps the deer pop down so they don't hurt the eco system same thing with turkeys. Please don't listen to the negative comments. I myself love animals, I also respect the circle of life. Almost every living thing hunts for there food. Lived on a farm as a kid we rise cows pigs chicken.
Man, Sir, Brother; I’m an Outdoorsman and a Solider. Wounded Warrior from The Army. Hunting, Fishing,Hiking, Biking, Kayaking, and Driving. These are a few things we do every day and God Blesses us but we still have a bunch of Judges in the world when God is supposed to be the all time judge and we are only supposed to judge ourselves. Be like family everyone. God Bless, and leave this man alone.
Thank you for helping the doe. You showed compassion for a fellow living creature when you helped her. I don't understand when people see the opportunity to help and turn away saying, "it is natures way". The buck wasn't a predator. He was out of control and killing her would have served little purpose. What you did set a good example for others and was good for your own self esteem.
I am not a hunter but I completely understand what you did and agree with your actions and I get what you do as a hunter. And I just want to say thank you. I see you as a humane person and you did good and I like you. I hope your son and daughters see the difference between that. And it’s too bad that more people, hunters and non hunters see and understand the difference and agree with your actions as well. So again, thank you and bless you!
I'm a hunter, and I applaud your efforts, and I would have done the same thing. You are good people, and I appreciate all of your conservation efforts efforts . Congratulations on getting your buck. Great Video.. Thanks
I thought it was a good educational video about what can potentially happen in nature when things don’t quite line up the way they are supposed to. You just explained all of that quite clearly in this update. Thank you. I’m sorry that people out there didn’t appreciate the video. I thought your reaction was pretty normal for a rancher. My grandfather was a hunter and he raised horses. Just be yourself and I look forward to your next video.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the first video. I sent it off to my husband at work. I was happy to see the follow up and I will send it to. Thank you for not leaving her. 🤎
i know i don't know you, but i feel like i do. you seem so genuine and true of heart. i'm not radical, but i do advocate for animal rights, have considered going vegetarian, and disdain hunting for sport... but you hunt responsibly and respectfully, and that makes all the difference in the world for others like me. i completely support what you do, i appreciate your morals, and i know how valuable you are to the ecosystem and the circle of life. i'm grateful that you stepped in to save the doe, and i think it was extremely mature of you to not shoot the buck. thanks for letting us into your world a little bit, and i wish you and your family the best! don't let people feeling big behind a screen get you down. 💜 happy new year!
So glad you saw this video and the true heart of hunters 💚 99% of us hunters are just like this guy, and would've done the exact same thing. To add just a bit more to consider - this man literally risked his own life to save this doe - whitetail bucks are notoriously aggressive and have killed people during breeding season totally unprovoked. I'm amazed this man was not attacked.
You are a good man, sir. You'll understand and appreciate this tale, and get a big grin out of it. A Veteran I knew bought some good land here in Michigan, and set up a feed stand, figuring it would be easier to pick and choose his targets when season came. One young buck figured out he was the source of the food, and slowly got closer and closer til he was actually leaning on the man, clearly feeling affectionate. From then on when he'd hit the woods for a ramble, that young fellow would join him, much like a dog. By the time hunting season came, he gave up on the idea of hunting, because "How can I shoot a friend? Or any of his friends?" So now he basically runs a deer sanctuary, especially during hunting season. And his own special buck is a big, handsome fellow who still likes to hang with him. I've sworn to never reveal the deer whisperers name, so don't ask.
Timothy, you sir, are the type of MAN that I would like to call a FRIEND! Doesn’t matter if you are an “outdoorsman” or not, you have a kind and gentle soul that shines through, whether you try to hide it or not. You strive to do the RIGHT thing, and that shows you have goodness in your heart, so ignore all the “haters”, whoever they are, and whatever the reason...God made us all different, and I’m glad He made you...YOU!!
I'm a bit late to the party, but as a Buddhist who does not believe in killing (even non-disease carrying insects), I wanted to say that you did the right thing. I may not approve of killing, but you obviously have the care, mercy, and compassion that we all revere in my religion. People come from all walks of life and none of us can be perfect. In fact, I'm not a perfect Buddhist either, I haven't been able to give up intoxicants like alcohol. However, you are doing a very important job by protecting the young deer and culling the population so that the rest of the deer don't suffer due to overpopulation. Please don't listen to these haters, it appears as though they are unable to see the nuance in what you do. You are one of the most valuable members of our society because of how deeply you care for these animals, and the fact that you quite literally live off of them shows this. You have a symbiotic relationship, and I can't speak a word of judgement towards you for that. Thank you for what you do and please keep protecting those young lady deer! ❤❤❤
I've personally never been a fan of hunting, but I have nothing but respect for you after seeing the way you treat animals. This honestly helped me realize that not all hunters view animals as "just animals." Some of you recognize them as living beings that have thoughts and feelings just like anyone else, even if they are a bit different. Thank you for hunting responsibly and treating animals with the compassion, love, and respect they deserve. I wish you nothing but the best and no matter what people say, you did the right thing.
You have my utmost respect sir! I watched the 1st video just a few minutes ago, and you saw a situation that required some help and you did just great! I loved that you sat with her awhile and in so doing got the buck to back off and leave her alone. The internet is a horrible place, you're right. So many haters sitting at their keyboards with nothing better to do except criticize and tear apart someone who did absolutely nothing wrong. Keep up the good work! Haters are everywhere, but until the internet, we didn't realize how many sick people there really are out there. Heartwarming to see people who are positive, loving, kind, and supportive which you most definitely are! We need more people like you in this world.
I just watched this video, so the event recorded happened 3 years ago. I am a huge animal lover and advocate and really don't support hunting, though I know the necessity of it. I have a Bachelor's in agriculture and know that hunting is vital at keeping the population of herbivores in check since this country has done well at nearly eliminating apex predators. I applaud your compassion for that doe and thank you for intervening on her behalf. Thank you for your kindness and honesty in this wonderful update. Blessings to you and your family this New Year!
Thank u the puncture wound is what I worried about bc I could not see. From a fellow hunter. I dont kill what I dont eat. N I respect the way you do it.

I'd rather have hunters controlling the deer population than my car.
😂😂😂 ain’t that the truth!
Well said lol
@@jayteadesigns such as? I’m not trying to be snarky or sarcastic, I honestly want to know what methods of population control you know of that don’t involve killing the animal.
@@elizabethweigle6146 I really didn't think anyone would ask! Yes, there are compassionate programs where they would catch a dear and provide a birth control method, injection, or otherwise. The technology is there and there are enough compassionate people who would glad to help!
jayteadesigns Who is paying for all this? Easy to say all that but when it comes down to it hunters and fishers are the ones who *provide* the state the money for conservation.
Thank you, Tim, for the update. I do not hunt and I live a plant-based lifestyle. However, I respect your right to live according to your own beliefs. Having said that, you were extraordinarily compassionate to the doe and respectful to the buck as you ran him off. You perfectly illustrated how hunters can be friends of animals and have shown me and others that "hunter" is not synonymous with "animal-hating butthole." Thank you sincerely for the lesson.
This.... This is worth more than anything and makes the video worth it. This makes what we do a success. Thank You
Thank you for understanding how we feel

@Sven3xs i bet those type of hunters exist, but we probably don't see many of em.
I agree with you! X3
A lot of the people that comment rude things to you, they're a lot like that buck, whole lot of testosterone and ignorance. Thank you for taking the time to preserve her life.

Pay no mind to the toxic comments. You did the right thing.

Thats exactly what I was going to say
Not only toxic comments, but straight up disgusting. There were so many sexual jokes which is unfortunately unpreventable given the mood of the video. It attracted some of the darkest minds on the internet.

Contrary to what anti-hunters think - this is how the vast majority of hunters and outdoorsman are. We aren't bloodthirsty killers. We care as much or more about critters than most. Thank you for putting your experience on the Tube bro!
You are 100% correct. And unlike some we know if you don’t help control the population a lot of them could starve.
100% correct
I dont hunt. Thing is if we didn't have deer hunters the deer population would be so bad and over populated. Like I said I don't hunt. Too much time and money for me. But I do eat it when my friends bring it too me. This is about a guy doing the right thing at the right time. That buck is an abuser.
Unfortunately there are some hunters that give the rest of us a bad reputation. There are bad apples in every bunch.
@JP-pi6nm Including Cops! 75-80% are good! The problem is the bad ones! They need to go!
Thanks for your update. I'm a senior that used to hunt. I think you are the example of a real hunter. I wouldn't kill anything I don't eat
You have morals that spoke to you, not killing that buck. I'm so touched by your ability to exercise your level of moral application instead shooting that buck. God bless 🦋

I agree with you 💯
This man is such a mood, "y'all are mean". He seems lovely and I enjoy the way he talks through all of this and from the last video too. Mad respect
When he said, "We can't be friends" I legit felt that lol
Same, mad respect. He's cool.
This man is right.
Hes right though. People are mean. This is why i hide away in my house. He was just trying to help and people ruined a good thing.
The Internet is a mean place. Kids kill them selves over being bullied on the Internet. You're a strong compassionate man and I completely agree with everything you stand for. 2 years later I'm just seeing these videos and you're still getting comments. I hope more good than bad. Your children will be great people as well through your teachings. Thank you.
You and your family are the perfect example of a good hunter and someone that appreciates wildlife.
I'm not a hunter but I think what you did was very compassionate and humane.
I appreciate what you did for that doe. Shame on anyone who says otherwise. You have my respect. Merry Christmas.
Agree
Me too
I agree with. When I saw that video, I noticed that the doe looked very tired, especially with a buck harassing her like that. I hope that the doe is alright after being saved
Completely agree with you
That deer was tired. Too much love from opposite gender lol
As a Native American, I appreciate this guy’s hunting ethics. He expresses his position in a healthy spirit and mindset. Those that never had to rely on living off the land or have firsthand knowledge about hunting, need to shut their trap. Ha! Anywho, he’s not out to annihilate an entire species! Like the buffalo! Let’s learn from history. This guy provides for his family and teaches his kids! That’s more than most guys are willing to do! Keep going my white brother!
Amen!🙏🙌
Why hunt just for the kill
If you truly live off the land you grow things to eat. You don't kill things. People like you just refuse to evolve and never want to let go of their immature mind set.
@@lindamurphy5033 I think it’s more unevolved and immature to tell a Native American how to live their life esp if you’re assuming that I only eat meat. Bozo. 🤡
@@lindamurphy5033 what's the problem with hunting??? Have you ever had deer meat?
P.S. do you "grow cows and pigs??? Living off the land, you hunt, fish and grow vegetables and fruits. You use as much as possible of what you acquire. Your comment says nothing
I know this, comes two years after the original post.
I’m not a hunter, but I totally support what you do and what you decided to do on that day 100%! You actually gave me a new understanding of hunters!
As someone who would never hunt myself as I can't bare the thought, I can say you're a great example of what a huntsman should be. Not somebody who poaches, that's no longer hunting. It's, well, *poaching.* You quite possibly saved that doe's life.
I agree. At least he didn't do like my brother-in-law one year. He and my sister went hunting, and he got one. Just because it was under some briars, he left it. He didn't even attempt to get it. So there was some good meat wasted.
You seem like such a compassionate man. I admire your respect for nature and animals. Peace from a vegetarian.
I love these comments from people who don't live the same lifestyle. We are doing something right

Proof that we can all get along regardless of any differences. We are all people after all. Some just choose not to get along with others.
I'm an animal rights activist and I still do deer hunting every season, they are not completely oxymoronic to each other, and you helping that doe was an excellent example of that fact.
💯 💯 💯
Unfortunately with deer it can be necessity for hunting seasons, due to thing like overpopulation and wasting disease. I'm all for humane treatment any animal but humane choices can be difficult ones.
Thats good
Me too. An animal in the wild has lived the way God intended them to.
I'm so lost, how the hell you going to be animal civil rights activist then kill the animals you are suppose to be saving ??
I wanted to say thank you. You did the right thing for that beautiful Doe. I am 13 and you inspire me. I love animals and want to be able to work with them someday so I can help and comfort them the same way you comforted that poor Doe. Hats off to you. Take care.
I've never seen deer behavior like that buck was exhibiting. We need more hunters with ethics like yours!!! We hunt as well and we eat what we kill. Thank you for saving that little doe , she was so sweet and deserving. Keep doing what you're doing because you ROCK ❤❤❤. Much respect to you and your family 💕
As a fellow hunter... You did the right thing for that Doe. Running that Buck off not only saved her life but it allowed her to bring more deer in to the world
Hi I’m hunter
@@huntercole8365 whoa a real Hunter
Oh great! He ensured the deer population will continue to suffer under human rule! Humans don't deserve to live among great creatures. Most humans are evil a-holes!
@@claireh1672 you know deer over populate and if they over populate they eat tons of the plant life preventing other herbivores to eat they end up starving to death
@@shirodaddy3046 So do humans! Killing them is not the answer! China has a policy of forced infanticide. If humans have to kill to control a population; then that's the same as failure! There are other ways to ensure supply exceeds demand. Even if that includes preventing them from being fertile. And ensuring land is deliberately set aside for nature; well off the beaten track. Where humans are banned from sharing its bounty.

Yeah, the guilty gave this video a thumbs👎🏾down.
This is a gem of a video. One, thank you for calling out the hate you received - you did it in such a calm manner, and that's refreshing to hear in the midst of cancel culture. Two, thank you for being an ally to wildlife - helping that doe, not killing the young buck, giving your cows little pats. The world could learn from people like you. Kudos.
I’m not a Hunter nor do I think I could ever hunt because I just don’t have it in me, but I admire and respect you for what you did.
Someone needs to give this man a reward. For the bs he’s received and the fact that he stuck with that doe for a bit making sure she was ok.
I'm not a hunter, probably never will be. I love that you stayed with the doe when the buck roughed her up. I would have done the same thing. I don't like hunters when they're killing for sport. But when they're hunting for survival and/or for the meat and not just the trophy I compleatly understand and agree with it. I also stand for animal rights, and I agree that over population does kill more animals then hunting. I think you did an amazing thing,and thank you for the update
I’m a hunter and I completely agree when someone leaves the meat of an animal and takes the antlers or horns it’s just messed up
I’m fine with hunting as long as u give the animal a chance cuz we use to hunt and get hunted ages ago but we never used to use a gun from a 100m away, a bow is a bit better but if u got a compound bow sitting high up in a tree tf r they gonna do
@@marcolangman5736 Messed up and ILLEGAL. Willi B. in Canada.
The term "sport" hunting came about to differentiate it from the then-legal market hunting, which the hunters themselves wanted stopped as it was destroying the wildlife populations. Back then, "sport" was used in the term of "sporting" (i.e.fair), NOT because hunting was or is considered some kind of sport like baseball. Killing for antlers only is ILLEGAL. I do not know any hunters who do not have a deep respect for and knowledge of the natural world. I have spent decades fighting for natural areas; I`ve already mentioned that I`ve also rescued injured wildlife incl. deer (whom I can calm with my voice). I have spent most of my life in the Forest without a television set or any other kind of screen.
Willi B. in Canada.
@@boleidi4936 YES, and this applies to Africa too; Kenya, which banned hunting in the `70s, has a terrible poaching problem. Legal hunting supports habitat acquisition, biological surveys, and ANTI-POACHING efforts. In Africa, the meat cannot be brought back to N.A., so it is all eaten at camp- - -and donated to local people, which greatly reduces subsistence poaching. The movie stars who try to shut down hunting have no idea of the damage this would do to the wildlife if they were successful. Willi B. in Canada.
You did the right thing. Poor girl needed a break. If she really was old, as you suspected, then she probably didn't have the energy to fend off that youngster.
Side note: the male may have been doing that on purpose. An unknown trait in deer behavior - if a male thinks a female he's not bred with to be pregnant, then he might intentionally attack her sides and belly to force her to lose the baby. For all we know, he could have been following and harrassing her for days waiting for some similar outcome... That sounds brutal and awful. Thank you for your kindness to that poor, tired girl! Please post if you encounter her again!
You are so wholesome. You are the definition of an ethical hunter. I salute and appreciate you sir!! Thank you for being kind to that doe, and even the buck as well!
I'm an Animal Management student (3rd year), I've never been hunting myself and don't feel as though I could. But, hunters like you are the hunters we like and talk about in conservation classes. Not hunting for trophies, not hunting like it's some game, not doing it to see animals suffer. You're compassionate, knowledgeable and smart. You know how many animals to shoot and which ones. I can really appreciate the fact you didn't shoot that buck, as I know some others would have. The way you stayed with that doe to make sure she was alright and that the male had left is very commendable. Keep doing what you're doing, keep giving hunters a good name, and thank you for not over-harvesting
Right on
Very kind! That's really cool you were an animal management student at the time. What are you up to now?
I have hunted for over 50 years! I have taken every North American big game animal with the exception of a moose and brown bear. You sir, absolutely did the right and responsible thing. Don't listen to any of the static.
Come to Wyoming, We see 4 or 5 every year at the same spot.
Good for you sir!! I grew up with a family who rescues animals. My mother started the SPCA in South America. I am still involved and I’m a hunter who ethically hunts to sustain themself. I have nurtured wild animals back to health and have released them. The owl I rescued, came back to visit me for years until I moved. Good for you! You’re awesome
You did right. I would've done the same. It's your compassion that lead you to stay by that doe. Glad you did! Thank you for sharing.
As an animal right's person who used to think that all hunters were nasty, my world was changed one day in a college composition 2 classroom when a fellow student who was a hunter proceeded to grill the meat of a deer he had hunted himself for the whole class. That was the first time I had ever eaten deer meat in my life, and it was damn tasty.
He did it as an interactive way to share his essay on real hunting, not that awful trophy hunting that most activists know about, or poachers who are the ones driving specific animals to extinction, but the kind your talking about, just hunting to provide for yourself and your family without taking more than you need. The kind of hunters that understand the environment, you know the law of the land, you know the animals you hunt well and have a healthy respect for those animals. Those are the kind of hunters I respect the most.
Being an animal rights person doesn't have to mean no one has a right to eat animals or that all hunters are bad, but unfortunately, those people are the loudest. Pay them no mind. Those are the people who shout about things they don't truly have an understanding of. Animals eat each other in much crueler ways, but humans can make the choice to make their ending painless and their lives happy and healthy. We just don't.
Fuck those hunters that have no respect for the animals they hunt and that spare hunters like you none either. They don't deserve the time of day, but good on you for being respectful anyway, despite how horrible I'm sure those people have been to you. Have an awesome day!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Not a hunter, but I really appreciate your hunter’s ethics.
Hi there, Timothy. I'm currently getting my degree in environmental science/ecology, and I just wanted to say that as someone studying this stuff and hoping to work in the field of conservation for a living, you absolutely did the right thing, and I truly appreciate your approach to hunting. Overpopulation of deer, especially, is a HUGE problem ecologically, devastating natural resources and making it impossible for future generations of deer and other species in the area to survive. Limiting the population of deer via hunting, taking every part of the animal, and using that deer to provide for yourself and your family is what hunting should be all about. There's a huge difference between trophy hunting endangered species or poaching, and ethically hunting an overpopulated species as you are here.
I tip my hat to you, sir. Thank you for spreading the message of ethical hunting - or rather, hunting as it is MEANT to be done.
Thank you so much for helping her.
And for giving her some comfort. She really seemed to be enjoying those scratches behind the ears.
No one should have an issue with someone that hunts responsibly to put food on their table. I was a vegetarian for over 40 years and always thought the same. My reasoning for being vegetarian was that if I couldn’t kill my own food I shouldn’t eat it. I deeply disagree with factory farming. I eat a little meat these days but only game or free range organic. I also think what you did for that deer was exactly right, and hopefully that buck will learn better manners next season. Ignore the internet crazies 😊
Yes precisely, i’m vegan and there is such an enormous difference between what he does to feed his family/ control the population/ help the environment versus the atrocities the meat industry commits. In spite of my distaste for meat, I have nothing but respect for this man’s ideology- if all meat eaters thought like this I think the world would be a much better place.
If they have a problem with that then they have a problem with all predators hunting prey for food. Since it would be more cruel to kill off all predators until they're extinct so deer or other species would no longer be prey and live in a peaceful utopia then yeah their rhetoric makes no sense. But hey don't expect them to use logic.
@@elliep1732 I mean, it's not like most of us disagree.. right?
@@Eldoofus would you elaborate on your question? Who is “us?” I would be happy to engage in a peaceful discussion with you.

I'm vegetarian. My daughter is vegan. I just want to thank you for being a kind compassionate hunter. Gives me a new respect for people like you who hunt responsibly. Thank you for sharing your videos.👍
All hunters, hunt respectfully. And eat venison pridefuly. For you eat what you hunt and have a right to provide. And have the right to earn you keep.
The people you probably expect is the people that hang testicles of a male buck over a hanging tree. As or rip off doe tails and filter their urine for the next year.
Those people are the people we shun.
kudos to you you’re so great you’re vegetarian Tf
Just a news flash but you will find that to be true with a lot of hunters. I am an avid hunter and have maybe only killed 1 deer in last 15 years. We spend most our time caring for the animals and making their habitats better. Also take in mind that the money hunters spend on things like hunting license are how the gov raises the money for conservation efforts. Also, a great deal of animal habitat wouldn’t be there if not for hunting. Regular people may care when they see it on social media but they don’t spend any money or do anything to help. Everyone needs to have an open mind that is what is wrong with things today
More hunters are responsible than are not. Most hunt for food and understand managing the population properly.
This guy is like what everyone should strive to be like. Smart, compassionate hunter. Also a great dad and human being.
As a hunter for over 58 years. I hunt for food for my family, only take what we need. We only take older deer. We bless the animal for the life they lived and saying thank you for there generous sacrifice. Your a good man. 👍🏻
I really dig your voice!! I wasn't expecting you to be in ur 40s you sounded like a real young Matt Damon in that Doe video. Anyway great videos. You should get on here and tell stories you got the voice, nice to listen to
He sounded like he was fresh outta high school!
Same, I expected him to be mid twenties!

Omg! I thought the same and at first when I clicked on the link and seen him, I thought I clicked on something different until I heard his voice. I was expecting to see a young cowboy in tight fitting wranglers and a George Strait hat on. Lmao. His entire attitude and voice makes him a cutie pie in my book all day long 🤣💙🤗🤠
You did the right thing in that you saved her and yet you also realized he was a young dumb buck who still to immature and needs to grow up. And for anyone who doesn’t understand hunting is a necessity to keep the animal population healthy, they are ignorant uneducated and hopefully will read other comments that will wise them up. If they choose to remain ignorant and uneducated that’s on them. The rest of us who hunt and love animals support you.
A saint comment realizing the buck was probably young and immature. Thank you kind sir.
So glad for the update. Hats off to you for your kindness with the deer.
Quite simply, you showed your humanity, which is both what all of us SHOULD do AND what the loudest voices on the Internet NEVER do.
Thank you.
It's just sad that anyone, hunters and non hunters could have said anything remotely negative about what you did. That just tells me that the hunters (if they are) probably use illegal hunting practices and most likely take untagged deer and kill for just the thrill and take just the trophy and leave the meat. You came upon something that was not right and you did what any human being would have done. And besides, Olivia Benson from SVU would have called that sexual assault. Lol.
Yeah here's the thing deer aren't human and can not understand these things you placing responsibility on the deer for actions out of his control is laughable

Many don't realize the damage over browsing is doing to forest, field, garden and even the soil.
Hunting, fishing, and farming develop awareness in all senses of the entire surroundings as each moment unfolds, all while practicing self control. This gives the gift of being grateful for all the gifts of nature and life.
Thank you for the chance to reflect on this stuff.
Beautifully put.
Animals do it 24/7
@@Lili-ey1nd yes, but look at how much less damage they do all year round compared to humans doing it in just the hunting season

You are a good man. And I don't hunt. You did a great thing. I'm glad you are raising children to be good people.
The poor lass was so exhausted and you certainly did the proper thing in my opinion. Your respect for hunting as a way to feed your family and the wildlife that you hunt, good man.
Just because what that buck did to her is part of nature, doesn’t mean it’s a pleasant thing for the poor doe to go through. I’m sure she appreciated the chance you gave her to breathe and recover her strength. Nature can be cruel and unrelenting; it couldn’t hurt to show some kindness where we can. Perhaps by not killing the young buck, he will mature and be more prepared the next time breeding season comes around, and hopefully the next doe he breeds won’t end up like that girl did. It’s a learning experience for him and he may learn to properly breed later on.
Thank you for understanding that; as a fellow hunter, it’s both infuriating and enlightening to see such hatred from people towards hunters, or anyone that would have done what you did. You’re right, the internet can be a bad place, it’s sad really. People turn on each other and pull anything out of their sleeves to rile each other and be mean. Nonetheless, you did a kind thing for the doe and buck alike, and I respect that. Hope you have a good day and you and your family stay safe!

All you're doing when you buy meat is paying for someone to kill an animal for you, and if anything it's worse because of the inhumane conditions of the factory farms most of that meat likely came from. At least with hunting you know the animal was free range and allowed to live a very natural life up until the time of their death.
@@karenanderson9884 STFU. My family hunts and we love animals. Hunting is necessary to keep the deer population down. The first thing I was taught about hunting is that we only take what we need; and that we don't disrespect the animals we kill.

I think what you did was completely appropriate. You were checking the welfare of both animals. I’m glad you gave the doe some love she sure needed it.
I'm not a hunter but I understand the necessity of the situation. It was actually refreshing to see the compassion so close and real. I know some guys that act like a bunch of Neanderthals when they get together to hunt. So Thank you Tim!
I dont hunt and never will but I 100% understand hunting to feed your family. I wish there were more knowledgeable hunters like you ...letting the younger live and thrive. Thanks for watching over that Doe!❤❤❤
You are an educated hunter, don't let the uneducated get you down....there's too many of them.
I am not a hunter but I understand that hunting deer helps keep their population down, which in turn keeps disease in check as well. I greatly appreciate your stepping in to help her. She needed you. You are a good steward of what God has given you.
I usually am against hunting but I love how respectful you are to the animals. Hopefully you don't just kill for fun, and actually use the animal but thank you for helping to keep the numbers at a good state and even helping some animals. Truly a kind-hearted hunter. 😁👍
I have never met a hunter that "kills for fun". 99% of us are just like him. It is called management of the heard. Yes we all eat what we kill.
There really are some insane people online. My husband and I both hunt and we just got my daughter into hunting as well and you did exactly what my husband and I would do and I just want to say thank you again. My husband hunts the same family property every year and he has made a friend who follows him into the woods and sits on his head and then follows him out for the last two years a Ruffed Grouse. He has the funniest videos of her sitting on his head, walking him to his blind and following him out. It’s the strangest thing. Animals are amazing and I’ve found that sometimes just being in the woods is better than getting a deer. Happy hunting everyone.
Oh honey yeah there's a lot of crazy comments on UA-cam there's definitely a lot of immature people here please ignore them I hope you continue to post and share thank you
Again, thanks for protecting her and making sure she was ok. You showed a side of hunters I’ve never seen. Bless you sir! Those people that disagreed with your actions would probably not stop a rape in progress, there are far too many people on the net that show their worst possible side.... cause they can hid behind an icon without their real name. Most are cowards....ignore them.
Meet more hunters, then! You`ll find that the majority of us are deeply concerned about the environment and yes, we do love other animals. I can`t eat a deer if I know him personally! Willi B.
Calm down, Karen.
"Not stop a rape in progress?"
You sound crazy!
@@chitownbangin Karen u are. Karen and a coward , who knows only how to criticize normal comments.
I'm an elk hunter and totally agree with what you did. You are right about hunting. Hunters care about the animals. I'm glad you helped out that doe. Great job!
Thanks for the follow up. You seem like a real compassionate person and I wish more were like you. Great video, and wish more people understood hunting and would hear you out.
I love how down-to-earth this guy is. He seems like he'd be a nice guy to hunt with. And you probably won't see this but I think you did the right thing. I see it as you saying "thank you" to God for the deer He provided you with earlier by taking care of another deer. God bless. And thank you for this and the other video.
I don’t hate the guy. He’s a hunter not a poacher.
Thanks for the follow up. I hope she was ok. Well done for helping her. She was obviously grateful.
We have stray cats where we live they keep the field mice pop down plus a few foxes nature needs balance people like you help nature keeps that balance
You are 100% correct. Humans are the reason nature is out of balance and humans are the only ones who can fix it
Stray cats are also HELL on native bird populations. These cats are not a part of the natural ecosystem here. Willi B., hunter and naturalist. Canada.
^^ what Ack said. Cats are actually a HUGE invasive species problem in the US and around the world. They’re literally an invasive predator.
@@LostGirl1428 That's why neutering and spaying, as well as keeping cats indoors/on a leash if outdoors is super important
@@raerohan4241 I agree with the spaying and controlling cats. My cat however is to lazy to hunt. Won't lift a paw to shoo a fly away. The only thing he will hunt is a sunny spot on the back of the couch! 🤪😆
I mean, the dude has longhorns in the back. He loves animals
Absolutely beautiful the care and respect you have for wildlife and animals in general. Thank you for helping her. ❤😊
Saw your doe video, and then this one. What we need is MORE HUNTERS like you. You have 100% of my respect. You should be a spokesperson for the wildlife commission to teach good ethical hunting and Stewards of the hunting communities.
Thanks and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
It's a good thing you did rescuing that doe. If you hadn't stayed with her he probably would have come back and killed her. You gave her a chance to rest and recover. Bless you. Btw I hunt too. Screw those jackwagons that criticized you.
That poor Baby!!! I'm glad she's alright!!!
I knew you had to be a dad because of how you were sweet to that Doe.
You have my respect for showing so much compassion to another living soul. And im so happy she lived ❤
A true "Mother Nature's son" I appreciate you. I grew up hunting and have no issue with it as long as the animal is being used. Teddy Roosevelt was a great hunter and one of the greatest conservationists of his time.
Here in Germany being a hunter is actually a proper regulated job for wildlife care and conservation. Since we barely have big predators cause of our past we NEED them to keep things balanced.
You are amazing you save that doe's life. You risked your life to save her. Hunting keeps the deer pop down so they don't hurt the eco system same thing with turkeys. Please don't listen to the negative comments. I myself love animals, I also respect the circle of life. Almost every living thing hunts for there food. Lived on a farm as a kid we rise cows pigs chicken.
Seeing the video a year later. Thank you for helping this deer. Most of all, thank you for being a responsible hunter.
Man, Sir, Brother; I’m an Outdoorsman and a Solider. Wounded Warrior from The Army. Hunting, Fishing,Hiking, Biking, Kayaking, and Driving. These are a few things we do every day and God Blesses us but we still have a bunch of Judges in the world when God is supposed to be the all time judge and we are only supposed to judge ourselves. Be like family everyone. God Bless, and leave this man alone.
Thank you for helping this pretty girl. You have a kind heart!
Thank you for helping the doe. You showed compassion for a fellow living creature when you helped her. I don't understand when people see the opportunity to help and turn away saying, "it is natures way". The buck wasn't a predator. He was out of control and killing her would have served little purpose. What you did set a good example for others and was good for your own self esteem.
I am not a hunter but I completely understand what you did and agree with your actions and I get what you do as a hunter. And I just want to say thank you. I see you as a humane person and you did good and I like you. I hope your son and daughters see the difference between that. And it’s too bad that more people, hunters and non hunters see and understand the difference and agree with your actions as well. So again, thank you and bless you!
I'm a hunter, and I applaud your efforts, and I would have done the same thing. You are good people, and I appreciate all of your conservation efforts efforts .
Congratulations on getting your buck. Great Video..
Thanks
Love from a vegetarian. My problem is factory farms, you are great! Keep up the work!
SOMEONE give this man an AWARD!
I thought it was a good educational video about what can potentially happen in nature when things don’t quite line up the way they are supposed to.
You just explained all of that quite clearly in this update. Thank you. I’m sorry that people out there didn’t appreciate the video. I thought your reaction was pretty normal for a rancher. My grandfather was a hunter and he raised horses. Just be yourself and I look forward to your next video.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the first video. I sent it off to my husband at work. I was happy to see the follow up and I will send it to. Thank you for not leaving her. 🤎
i know i don't know you, but i feel like i do. you seem so genuine and true of heart. i'm not radical, but i do advocate for animal rights, have considered going vegetarian, and disdain hunting for sport... but you hunt responsibly and respectfully, and that makes all the difference in the world for others like me. i completely support what you do, i appreciate your morals, and i know how valuable you are to the ecosystem and the circle of life. i'm grateful that you stepped in to save the doe, and i think it was extremely mature of you to not shoot the buck. thanks for letting us into your world a little bit, and i wish you and your family the best! don't let people feeling big behind a screen get you down. 💜 happy new year!
So glad you saw this video and the true heart of hunters 💚 99% of us hunters are just like this guy, and would've done the exact same thing. To add just a bit more to consider - this man literally risked his own life to save this doe - whitetail bucks are notoriously aggressive and have killed people during breeding season totally unprovoked. I'm amazed this man was not attacked.
You are a good man, sir. You'll understand and appreciate this tale, and get a big grin out of it.
A Veteran I knew bought some good land here in Michigan, and set up a feed stand, figuring it would be easier to pick and choose his targets when season came. One young buck figured out he was the source of the food, and slowly got closer and closer til he was actually leaning on the man, clearly feeling affectionate. From then on when he'd hit the woods for a ramble, that young fellow would join him, much like a dog. By the time hunting season came, he gave up on the idea of hunting, because "How can I shoot a friend? Or any of his friends?" So now he basically runs a deer sanctuary, especially during hunting season. And his own special buck is a big, handsome fellow who still likes to hang with him.
I've sworn to never reveal the deer whisperers name, so don't ask.
God bless him
What a great story, Albert. 😊
Timothy, you sir, are the type of MAN that I would like to call a FRIEND! Doesn’t matter if you are an “outdoorsman” or not, you have a kind and gentle soul that shines through, whether you try to hide it or not. You strive to do the RIGHT thing, and that shows you have goodness in your heart, so ignore all the “haters”, whoever they are, and whatever the reason...God made us all different, and I’m glad He made you...YOU!!
I'm a bit late to the party, but as a Buddhist who does not believe in killing (even non-disease carrying insects), I wanted to say that you did the right thing. I may not approve of killing, but you obviously have the care, mercy, and compassion that we all revere in my religion. People come from all walks of life and none of us can be perfect. In fact, I'm not a perfect Buddhist either, I haven't been able to give up intoxicants like alcohol. However, you are doing a very important job by protecting the young deer and culling the population so that the rest of the deer don't suffer due to overpopulation. Please don't listen to these haters, it appears as though they are unable to see the nuance in what you do. You are one of the most valuable members of our society because of how deeply you care for these animals, and the fact that you quite literally live off of them shows this. You have a symbiotic relationship, and I can't speak a word of judgement towards you for that. Thank you for what you do and please keep protecting those young lady deer! ❤❤❤
I've personally never been a fan of hunting, but I have nothing but respect for you after seeing the way you treat animals. This honestly helped me realize that not all hunters view animals as "just animals." Some of you recognize them as living beings that have thoughts and feelings just like anyone else, even if they are a bit different. Thank you for hunting responsibly and treating animals with the compassion, love, and respect they deserve. I wish you nothing but the best and no matter what people say, you did the right thing.
I love all of the respect you've given off while talking to us, and about the beautiful wildlife 💛 Thank you so much for these lessons!
You have my utmost respect sir! I watched the 1st video just a few minutes ago, and you saw a situation that required some help and you did just great! I loved that you sat with her awhile and in so doing got the buck to back off and leave her alone. The internet is a horrible place, you're right. So many haters sitting at their keyboards with nothing better to do except criticize and tear apart someone who did absolutely nothing wrong. Keep up the good work! Haters are everywhere, but until the internet, we didn't realize how many sick people there really are out there. Heartwarming to see people who are positive, loving, kind, and supportive which you most definitely are! We need more people like you in this world.
I just watched this video, so the event recorded happened 3 years ago. I am a huge animal lover and advocate and really don't support hunting, though I know the necessity of it. I have a Bachelor's in agriculture and know that hunting is vital at keeping the population of herbivores in check since this country has done well at nearly eliminating apex predators.
I applaud your compassion for that doe and thank you for intervening on her behalf. Thank you for your kindness and honesty in this wonderful update. Blessings to you and your family this New Year!
Thank u the puncture wound is what I worried about bc I could not see. From a fellow hunter. I dont kill what I dont eat. N I respect the way you do it.
You did the right thing and I would have done the same thank you from a fellow hunter
