- In December 2017, Mike Hunsucker and Shawn Luchtel first put eyes on Hook, a Missouri buck that would keep them busy for the next two years. Watch the story unfold-this isn’t your average deer, and this isn’t your typical story.

Great story guys. That’s bowhunting. Mistakes happen even to the best of us. At the end of the day they make us better.
As bow hunters, if it hasn't happened to you, it will, sooner or later. Great story guys. Thanks
Beautiful deer! Looks like you had a nice shooting lane on the left side of your tree. You probably already figured out stopping him on that side would have presented a good quartering away or possible broadside shot when he stopped and turned to look back at the bleat. Lots of time and dedication on pursuing this trophy whitetail!
One of the best hunting video on CZcams for sure! Excellent work!
appreciate the candor and the honesty.
Great story, great buck. Thanks for showing it as it happened. Not all great bucks end up the way we planned...thanks for showing that.
Great story and well shot! Continue with high end content like this and this channel will go far. I can even visualize a production TV show. Well done!
What a heartbreaker !
What a magnificent animal, sad it had to end this way, but thank you for sharing this.
You guys put a tape on that beast!?!? Beautiful buck, man!
I really enjoyed this story.
Great video, guys.
Great video gents; not the greatest shot but hindsight is 20/20 so thank you for sharing
Be happy that you missed the first shot or it would have been a gutshot. A poor shot choice on the 2 event. You aren't afraid to show your mistakes. That makes you more relatable to the average Joe. Thanks
Great Video, film work and commentary were spot on. What an awesome animal with a awesome story you guys put together. 🤙🏼
Awesome film! Love the production quality!
Awesome Video!!
I for sure am not buying that Garmin Xero sight after this!
This is one of those stories that breaks me to the core of my soul. I really do feel awful for ya'll. That's a really bitter sweet ending. The hunting of that deer was something that will stay with you for your life. Unfortunately so will the end results.
You got some amazing footage!
what song is that playing in the background?
Whiffed the shot? Didn't look you had one. Alert facing you awkwardly.
Great story! To bad he went out that way.
Are those Garmin Xero's junk then? Please confirm. Sure seems that way.
Always did like these guy's videos. Way back when they first came out seemed their videography was ahead of its time. Whatever happened to the Jeff Simpson guy?
. . .and that, Boys and girls is why you don't take a 56 yard shot at an alerted buck. Not an ethical shot. We owe more respect than that to the animals we hunt.
At 3:33 What did you guys plant in that Field? I’m looking to plan a food pot next year something that attracts deer and turkeys. BTW awesome video!
Looks like plain ol' turnips to me. Maybe "deer" radishes or both.
Hard quartering too low shot on an alert buck......adrenaline will make us do some questionable shit. We've all been there.
That sight you’re using has got to go. That’s a start.
Bummer, especially for ol Hook.
Bucks just don't show themselves like that in Minnesota.
If we see a buck twice in the same season it's incredibly rare...
Must be nice.
I no how you feel.but I don't because that is a monster monster buck
Practice practice practice should be second nature when it comes time to shoot the last few deer I shot I don’t even really remember aiming I just remember looking at where I wanted the arrow to go...the first time you stopped the deer in the cornfield was your best chance even though it was a frontal shot after that to much thinking took place and you blew a chip shot
Should have named him freshman frat boy, because that buck took a bunch of irresponsible shots
Buck I hunted all last year as my first year of deer hunting and scouted him all this summer in urban hunting hasn’t showed up in 2 months and I’ve found many dead deer so think he’s dead
Blessing in disguise you missed that buck the first time, as it would have been a gut shot for sure and you in all likelihood would have never found him. Even the second shot looked it would have been dodgy if it had hit.
As it is, that poor buck was probably gutshot by somebody else during the gun season.
Watching the current crop of bowhunting videos on youtube these days, I see a lot of poor shot placement and lost animals. Always looks like hunters not knowing their limitations and skill level with a bow and just plain choke factor.
Anyway, at least your weren't hunting off a feeder or on high fence property. Ugh, that shit so lame.
The second miss was simply poor shot selection. Shouldn't be taking a quartering to shot like that.
With sight that cost 800$ you miss a buck?? Throw it in garbage..
Guys, I am so fed up with guys taking high risk shots at Record book deer, just to have a chance to harvest them and get bragging rights! You give bowhunters a bad name; that is NOT ethical behavior. I have passed on 3 of 4 shots on deer, elk and antelope over many years because I did not have the reasonable shot. These videos really hurt our future to hunt.
and there's a lot of videos like this out there, gut shot and lost animals...these dudes shoot full body deer targets at crazy distances and think because they can hit it they will be able to effectively hit a wild deer. A wild deer that's moving. That ducks the string. That's around brush, twigs and branches etc.
