    I dropped a 9 pt bruiser on Stateland this morning…..thank god my buddy showed up to help me drag him out…..i felt every one of my 53 years today. My biggest buck to date and on public made me even more excited. But you young guys and this channel keeps me going.

      I bought one of those backpack sling's. You wear it like a backpack and it has a adjustable rope and d-ring. Makes dragging a little easier, especially if you don't drag against the grain of the deer's hair.

  • @puremichiganadventures8131

    You guys are who got me into public land hunting 3 years ago and so far to date I've killed my biggest buck last year 140 inch 9 point and this year I shot 120 inch 8 point all public land deer and it's all thanks to you guys!!

    After hunting Arkansas for 40 + years the one thing I know for sure is our Deer are high pressured. You take the average buck killer from Arkansas and let him hunt the Midwest giants he will do just fine . I bow hunted Adair county Mo. for several years and it was soooooo much easier to kill a goodern.

  • @shawnkane7152
    @shawnkane7152 Před rokem +1

    I feel your pain buddy! Found a pretty good spot here in northeast Arkansas last week while scouting decided to do a ground set using a felled tree was set up to shoot in the direction I thought they would come from then had an 11 point come and sneak up about 10-15 yards from me coming from the opposite direction and spooked him when I tried to make a shot. Glad to see y’all back in Arkansas and I wish y’all the best of luck!

    • @micahdunleavy9227
      @micahdunleavy9227 Před rokem +5

      That buck was moving pretty slow, I’ve seen warb take straight on shots which is a far more unethical shot… he should have just let it go when he cleared not an unethical shot.. you can’t grunt at them that close on the ground they pick you immediately and they bounce especially later in the season.. like he said in a tree it wouldn’t see what was making the sound.. Im sure he knows it after he’s just not going to say that lol

    Awesome video man. The crp and tree fields hold the bucks during the rut. I live in Arkansas and our public land bucks sure get spooky when trying to grunt stop them. Are rut can trickle and last well into December in certain places. Glad to see y’all made it back to Arkansas and the weather sure gave y’all the welcome.

    Well I’ll tell ya, the deer in SW Ark. (zone 14) we’re rutting harder than I’ve ever seen Nov.11-17, then they slowed down a bit. I was able to get two nice bucks, the second one is the biggest I’ve ever gotten. Also the first time I was able to get two bucks in one season. Also shot a doe and a hog in the same week. Then caught some crappie after that!

  • @jakemitchell1671
    @jakemitchell1671 Před rokem

    Hunted north MS my entire life - just across the river from AR. First, there is no concentrated rut down here. Of course there's a rut, but it's spread out and you don't see the flurry of activity seen in other regions of the country. We often say that rut in MS isn't a time but rather a place - and that place is wherever a doe is in estrus. I've seen chasing in early Nov, and I've seen it in late Jan. The best time to be in the woods in my area is from about Dec 8-10 until New Years. The best buck I've ever taken was chasing a doe on Christmas Eve morning.

    Hindsight is always 20/20. He did stop for a micro second in the shooting lane when you were drawn back. Ugh. So close. I understand that the camera angle and the shot angle are different but dang was that close!!! Looks like there might have been a branch in the way also. Wish you had the opportunity for a do over. I am pretty sure that buck would’ve been dead at the end of a short blood trail. Awesome over the shoulder footage. Thanks, keep the videos coming.😃🦌😃🦌

      Maybe 40 years ago but not today with 60%+ divorce rates, 80% initiated by the woman who is rewarded with cash and custody 90% of the time. Just a way to get emotionally and financially wrecked. Pretty sure Warb got a single mom too which typically is a very bad choice.

    That was a major bummer, but I know here soon you'll kill an Arkansas hammer knocker. Maybe in the next video I watch lol.

    I hunt in eastern Oklahoma. I was in the woods when this stuff rolled through and I found a little hole in the side of this bluff. I ran in there and came face to face with a Bob cat😂😂 scared the crap out of both of us
