    Not that I didn't have the utmost respect for you before, this video really showed me a lot about who you are and your outlook on life. It's incredible to see that hunter's still have so much respect for their prey. What a beautiful animal, my hat is off to you! And at least he left a couple nice sheds for you 😁 Much love from Oregon

    There just some in life that makes your world turn. I'm 64 yrs old thus I 've let deer and big bucks go by for 7yrs this last season I look over and the second biggest buck that I knew of was across the field and said to myself it's time. The hole family came out to help get and load that buck up. By the time I walked back to the truck everybody there I looked up and seeing everybody there made tears rolling off my face. Grandson calls out 7 yrs papa. That when you know you love it.

    The fact that some of you are ignorant enough to try and claim that this is a high-fence preserve without knowing any facts about Tim Wells and his bowhunting ability or his ability to grow mature deer hurts me deep inside. Having a vast area to hunt, large amounts of foodplots, having great deer genetics, and simply putting the time and effort into growing these beautiful animals can result in growing several P&Y bucks a YEAR if you have the resources. Just because you don't shoot P&Y bucks regularly doesn't mean other people don't.

      @chriswest5360 Před 4 lety +1

      Jack Mechak that’s what guys that can’t be patient and shoot the first thing that walks out says... nah I’m just joking and I used to be like that, when I was young, and impatient and learned that those does and young bucks will be back tomorrow and I’ll have plenty of chances to get them so unless I’m desperate for meat or I’m on an out of town trip I’ll usually wait if I’m in my usual hunting spots, which a couple years ago, luckily I checked my camera before I went hunting that afternoon and there was a MUCH larger mature “sway back” 8 point than the decent younger 8 point I was hunting for in that stand, (the bucks around here average 8 points as the main frame, sometimes you’ll see one with a kicker point or two) and that evening that smaller 8 point walked out, As I was watching him working a scrape I was thinking about if I wanted to shoot him or not because he came thru pretty regular (he was one of the main deer I had the most pictures of) and I turned my attention to the two does that was walking up the trail behind me (I was hunting on an old power line that hadn’t been cut in a few years and the brush had grown about 4-6ft high in the middle) and as I’m watching them I say I’m gonna go ahead and shoot that buck, well I turn around and he’s going back in the woods, 10 minutes later the monster I had one picture of stepped out and I dropped him at 100 yards with the 308, if it hadn’t been for my patience I wouldn’t have had the bigger reward of knowing I had that patience and took a good ole mature buck had more to show for it and a good bit more meat from the 200lb deer vs the 150lb deer and I seen good bucks before I had game cameras and learned there can be a much better, more mature deer right behind the one you would’ve shot.. and the point of what he was saying is that he’d shoot the deer this guy passed up because “it wasn’t quiet a shooter”

I can't believe some of the comments below by the anti hunters; they get their meat at the supermarket but they've never been to a slaughter house. I live on a farm and I have seen the carnage in those places many times. Unless these people are vegetarians, they are hypocrites.

      That reminds me Of something from a video from several years ago Jeff Foxworthy and realtree outdoors did a comedy hunting video called “incomplete deer hunter” and some of the skits in it they dressed up in deer costumes and had “preseason deer herd meetings” and other stuff and one thing the two bucks did before walking out in the field was they pulled their antlers off to look like does lol. You can find some of these scenes on CZcams.

    Thanks for the great video. I hope to live when deer get that big in middle Georgia. In the 1920-1930 disease killed off almost all of the deer around here. it wasn't till the late 60's 70's that they relocated 60 deer to Ft. Gordon Ga, 60 to Burke co. 60 to Jefferson Co.and 60 to Washington Co. I see lots of deer but not giants like in your videos. I am sure with proper management and less disease like CWD I hope they will get there. Give Big Louie a wink for me
