    Great video Matt, well done. What a giant. Hopefully he’s had enough years to pass down those genetics, looks like at least one of his offspring running with him. Thanks for sharing.

      Hey Mark he is such a beautiful buck and felt like I should make a video about him because he could be one of those legends we all talk about years from now. Thank you for the comment

    What a beauty! Looks pretty old, don't you think? Hope he makes through the winter for another year. Just seeing a buck like that is pretty special. Thanks Matt for sharing it.

      Very special. I will remember this day for the rest of my life. Being on the mountain alone with him and I in the same canyon was super fulfilling. we find these animals so mysterious and beautiful and so it’s so special when we get a chance to see a buck like that. He seems to be an older buck. I would say between 6-7

    I live in Wyoming, I know of one deer Like him. He stays in dark timber most of his life. The first time I seen him I thought he was a doe because his antlers were so knarley that they blended in among the branches and he was 50 yards away.....it was archery season (buck only) and I didn't even draw on him even though he was broad side with vitals exposed.....by the time I realized what I was looking at it was game over and he winded me. I've only seen him after the season ends in the open but have never found a shed of his yet. I dream of that deer

    It’s hilarious how we can knit pick such an adorable extraordinarily unique animal. A gift from God. Ditch the music and keep everything a secret. I appreciate you trying to not show any unique skylines. It could be a sage brush roller just about anywhere.

      @Matt_Tillotson  Před 8 měsíci +2

      I only know a few people that know where he is and we are trying to keep it as hush hush as we can to hopefully keep him around for as long as life will allow him.

      @austinallen1732 Před 8 měsíci

      @kenchiison4570 not sure why it’s such a bad thing to post up a video of a cool experience and amazing buck to share. He didn’t give coordinates for everyone to go there…..just like he said making a video to allow others to enjoy the buck without disturbing him and also for his family. He’s not harassing from 400 yards away looking through a spotting scope. Not sure why people like you have to be such a downer on a cool experience and cool video! Good on you Matt!
      Sweet buck and enjoyed watching 👍🏻

    • @kenchiison4570

      Not being a downer. Everyone wants to be a you tube sensation, rather than getting a real job. These animals need their space. Now more than ever.

    WoW! What an incredible buck!
    Donnie here, you were kind enough to reply back a couple times last year, i think, after killing your big hoss buck!
    I love seeing your videos.
    You have a skillet that most hunters do not: you know when Not to do something, like make a move, etc. You know when you SHOULD make a move, and you know WHAT to do in the moment. In short, you know how to get it done.
    It's still a dream of this "Alabama boy" to get out there & hunt and ultimately take a big Mule deer. Still trying to get plans together. My strength(after cancer) is coming back & I've been working at it. Who knows, maybe 2024 will be the year!!
    Anyway, I hope this buck makes it another year, & Really think it'd be cool if you could find one of his sheds!
    Good look to you & your family, Matt! 👍👊 Thanks for videoing & sharing with us!

    • @Matt_Tillotson
      @Matt_Tillotson  Před 8 měsíci +1
