The world needs more Bille Winke’s.

"It would take a book" please write a book, Bill.

There was a reason this is my favorite show to watch and your the reason Bill, it's your outlook on life , how you never take things for granted , very spiritual man and the list could go on an on but the most important thing is "FAMILY" , there is nothing like making Memories with Family and if course a Big Buck is just the icing on the cake!! You got one heck of a Crew on Midwest Whitetail and I'm sure they wont let you down this season!! So looking forward to see what's in store for you in the future, I'm sure its gonna be AWESOME!! BEST OF LUCK THIS SEASON an GOD BLESS!!

Man Bill, It's got to be hard to leave that place!

Re-watching this a year later and I realized I grew up watching Bill hunt giants on his farm. The G5 and G4 bucks were must see TV to me when they came out. Lefty, the wide 10, and all the crusty bucks over the years were fun to watch, and the way he tells the story of these deer you really feel like you're part of it. The way I hunt today has greatly changed, and been influenced by Bill. I hope he's enjoying his well deserved time away from the camera! God bless you Bill Winke!

The Hunting Public Greg at 4 minutes! Bill needs to join those boy's for a hunt.

Greg and those guys where interns for bill

Bill Winke, you are a hunting legend.

Such a humble guy, I would love to spend time with and learn from him! It seems he reached what we’re all striving for, memories, good hunts, and blessings along the way! Wishing you good things Bill.

Goosebumps throughout the entire video Bill. You have touched, inspired and showed so many, what being a true outdoorsman is all about. I started watching MWW in 2014 and have honestly never missed a video that you guys have published since then. You have shown us what "Always dreaming big" is all about, never taking shortcuts and always devoting your time to an idea in your head. I would say you did an absolutely damn fine job Bill. With all the countless hours that you have devoted to the farm, NOT having sellers remorse would be more freighting! All jokes aside, I wish you and your family the best wherever you may settle down at. I know from personal experience that those moments that you talk about spent with your kids afield, will never be forgotten by them. God Bless Bill.

Outa all the Outdoorsmen & Deer Huntin personalities out there for us to watch, Bill Winke is the most honest and true to life enjoyable sportsman in my opinion to tune into no matter what he's doin!! God Bless you and yours Bill and thanks fer all the Great adventures!!

I like Bill - who doesn't? - but I'm not sure we should be proclaiming anyone "the most honest and true to life." In my wildest dreams - I could never afford a sprawling midwestern farm in the most fertile whitetail habitat in the US. Like many of the blue-collar hard-working people I know, I'm relegated by circumstance to hunting heaviy-pressured public land river bottoms in my home state of Mississippi. I'll never know what it's like to hunt thousands of acres of perfectly-managed mid-western farmland. I'm absolutely certain Bill's skils are elite, and he could get it done anywhere, but I'd rather watch the guys of The Hunting Public or the esteemed Hunting Beast himself, Mr. Dan Infalt, get it done with a bow where anyone with $25 for a license can get after it! I mean NO offense to Mr. Winke whatsoever - he's a LEGEND - but I"m tired of watching "hunters" shoot big deer in deer refuges.

@@jakemitchell1671 That's a very respectable opinion that in more cases than not, I would agree with you, on every word. But, in this video he did go in depth in discussing how he acquired so much ground. He set a goal and achieved them parcel by parcel but not without working the buy/sell/flip market heavily. I have to admire someone who made it all come together especially in the cut-throat business of realty, sales and marketing. Only thing worse than that is media/journalism! To my point, I believe that acquiring his 900 acres the way he did was not easy and didn't happen overnight. He worked at it and sacrificed for it. That is the American Dream, in my opinion, and for that I respect the man. Not because he's a deer killing machine. I mean, Ray Charles could kill big deer on his property but more so because he set goals, created opportunities, took risks and made it happen. Admirable and respectable for sure...

Man Bill you are the man. I am sad that this chapter closes I have watched for some time. Hunting with your friends and children parents. It's everything to share the hunt. And for you to give that back to us is amazing. I feel as though we all get to share the hunt and excitement through the amazing quality videos. I will always know bill winke is a high class individual as well as hunter. As always keep hammering.

MW is my favorite hunting show purely for the candidness of everyone involved. I love that these are real folks with real experiences. God bless!

The motivation that you speak of to get where you got is amazing! Now I see why you always say "Dream Big"!

Growing up with Midwest Whitetail, "Jamie" was the hunt that is my most memorable. It grabbed me and really brought me into my own with deer hunting. Then 2012 came, that was the season that made me want to document my hunts like Bill and strive to achieve his quality of work. I can't thank Bill and Midwest Whitetail enough, we are all so lucky to have been a very small part of this farms journey through our viewership. Great job Josh, I can't imagine how awesome it was to go through all those historic hunts and put this together!

Also love hearing all of the financial strategies, the island, LOL, and thinking outside of the box. Fantastic advice for dreamers!

🦌🎯🏹 praise the Lord we still have someone like yourself teaching and educating hunters. Everytime I watch Midwest Whitetails is a blessing...Good luck in the Future Bill...I pray to God the best is yet to come for you and your family Thank you so much for all you've done 🎯🎯🎯🏹🏹🏹🦌🦌🦌

More than a hunter, more than a conservationist, but an amazing family man! This is what people need to think of when they think of a “hunter”. Great bucks!

Bill thank you so much for all you’ve done for the hunting community. I personally didn’t start deer hunting until my late 20s and was really clueless until a couple years ago when I came across the Midwest Whitetail KZread channel. I’ve learned so much from you and have applied so many of your tips and so much of your advice to my own hunting habits. I’ve become a much better and much more patient hunter over the past 2 seasons with much of that due to your content and just who you are as a person. Again thank you so very much and I wish you the best of luck and pray that God continues to bless you and your family.

Hey Bill, your a true inspiration for me. I’ve been getting into deer hunting these past few years. Haven’t been able to do it since my family primarily hunts waterfowl and upland, still extremely blessed but just wasn’t exposed to deer hunting at a young age sadly. I really appreciate you and how you’ve brought the sport to me.

23:04 - Final Thought - "Memories are the main thing; not bringing home a trophy" No truer words have been spoken and sum up why we do what we do!

I've got sellers remorse for you Bill !!! lol Best of luck on finding your new piece of heaven on earth!! We will be along for the journey.

I like seeing the bows and how they changed in a short amount of time.

Watching this video has really made me look back and think about how long I’ve been watching your show Bill. I remember the first few years of the show when I was just a kid...dreaming about just seeing a deer like the ones you were able to harvest on your farm. It’s also made me realize how much I’ve learned about deer from your show as well. Although we hunt very different habitat types, the overall knowledge I’ve gained from your videos is extremely valuable. Thank you for doing what you do and I wish you the best of luck on your new properties!

There is never a time that when I am out hunting or prepping stands that I don’t think of Bill and Midwest white tails. I have learned so much and I always try to apply what they have taught me to every single hunt and to not loose sight of the big picture. I just cannot wait until my 4 year old can get out hunting with me! Thank you Bill

Bill you are the man I wish most people were.

Great summation. Hard to let go of something you worked so hard to build, but God has other plans for you! It amazes me how many of those hunts I remember watching. Bill you've taught me more than you'll ever know. God bless.

I just turned 20 and will be hunting for the first time this year, I’m super excited. I’ve been wanting to since I was real young just didn’t have anyone to take and teach me.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... I know this couldn't of been a easy decision for you and your family to make because I can see and know your passion for land management and spending time enjoying it with your family outdoors. I've been following you since your hunts on Realtree Monster Bucks and on through Midwest Whitetail and learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of you sharing it with us.I understand doing what is best for your family is number one because that's where you make most of your great memories. I know you will enjoy and make many more memories in your next chapter in life. Hopefully down the road you can do the same thing on property up to where you moved closer to your family and bring us along on the ride through Midwest Whitetail.I also hope whoever was blessed enough to buy your ground appreciates it and takes care of it for the future and they know how lucky they are. I would be one of the first ones in line if you ever decided to write a book or make a video on the process of land management and the hunts on your old property. I again want to say a Big Thank you to you, your family and everyone else who helped with everything so you could share this chapter of your life with all of us. I know it may not be easy but I can't wait to see how you all are able to work with new ground for hunting and land management and to enjoy this next chapter...Thank you and God Bless

I also wanted to add that if you talk with Bill Jordan please tell him to bring back the Realtree Hardwoods camo. It's always been one of my favorites even though I enjoy all the different varieties. Thank you

So many great memories. I'm glad I've watched your show from the very beginning. Before you were anyone to anybody and getting to see you develop into who you are today and see how far you've come. Thanks for sharing the memories with us along the way. It was a joy to watch your kids grow up and you grow older. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone so I'm glad you are moving on to more important things in life and closer to family, because in the end it's not really how many big bucks are on your wall, but how many memories you've spent with those you love. As I grow older, I start to realize it is the hunts and the times I am with my kids or family that are the most enjoyable and most epic of all.

Such a genuine guy! Skinny was my favorite deer!

There’s nothing more in the world I would want than to be a part of this show.

That's an amazing life you have lived on that farm. You and your family are truly blessed and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. Thanks for sharing it with me.

Sitting here in my office above my shop viewing this show under the watchful eye of a couple of nice bucks on the wall and there sure does seem to be a lot of dust in the air tonight. Anyone else notice that too? Darn dust, always getting in my eyes when I see someone who loves life, chasing their dreams and making memories...Here's to you Bill Winke. Here's to your family which is your legacy. And here's to always dreaming big.

Generations come, and go. I have greatly enjoyed the wonderful hunts, stories, and wealth of knowledge shared with these many great videos over the years. Thank you for them all Bill.. Waiting to see what your next adventure may be...

Bill your a total class act my man!!! Good luck this year, I look forward to you sharing your experiences. I've personally learned a ton from watching you. Thank You!!!

Clearing out the calendar for the next 30 minutes! This is what makes having the camera with you so cool! Documenting all of these great encounters allows you to have them with you forever, especially now that you've moved on from the farm. You will still be able to re-live these hunts! Thanks for giving us such great content over all these years! Looking forward to your new landing spot, good luck to the whole crew this season!

Bill, you write that book and I'll be first in line to buy it. Thank you for the video, good luck.

Man Bill. Thank you for everything. What an incredible farm. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you.

Can't blame you for getting a little choked up thinking of all those memories with your kids. Can't wait to see what the next chapter brings!

May be your best episode ever. My wife and I are going through the same process. When I think back to all the great times I've had with our 2 boys from the yard to the woods, it really chokes me up. Best of luck finding your next property. We found ours back in December. Now I'm trying to find a way to buy the farm that borders it.

Your entire family will cherish those memories forever. Very humble mentality. Looking forward to see what the Midwest crew does this year. Good luck

Love it! I knew their was more to Bill Winke!;) Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! On my second Mo farm now! Bought my first piece by mowing lawns in ev's an weekends. I was bound an determined to buy my own dirt! Put some elbow grease in it and did well on the sale. Just logged my new piece an it paid for over half the farm! God has sure been good to me

I've gotten so much enjoyment out if watching Bill on that land and the memories he's made with his family and friends it breaks my heart, I know it breaks his. Best whitetail hunter of my time and maybe ever, I've watched him since a young boy. I hope this isn't the end of bill's videos and spreading his infinite wisdom about everything whitetail, he's a hell of a sportsman and a mentor for everyone on honor and integrity in all aspects in and outside of hunting. Good luck Bill and hope to see you for many years to come.

What a great video Bill! I remember so many of those hunts, and can’t believe how long ago some were. My quote has always been “Hunt for the memories” I always tell the kids, my favorite memories aren’t my biggest deer, or getting a deer at all. It’s the time with friends and family. That’s what I remember most.

A truly remarkable story on land acquisition to making it sure enough trophy spot. I know it took a lot of hard work to achieve what he had. I hope the his next chapter works out as well. At least he is going into it with funds to achieve his goals quicker. It takes a dedicated, hard working, and focused person to achieve something like this. Well Done!!

You are a true ambassador to our sport thank you for all the footage keeps us busy before the season good luck

On to bigger and better things, always! Huge fan Bill. This had me reflecting on the last 10 years and how much you helped shape that. Thank you.

Wanna say thank you bill for documenting over the years on that farm. Loved every second and learned so much for each video! I’ve grown up doing this. Watching you and the drurys have helped me become a better hunter and better land manager

Bill Winke.. a legend and a steward of the sport. Thankful for the knowledge you’ve shared over the years. Best of luck in the future, excited to see what comes next!

Loved that you talked about how time spent with family and friends and making memories was most important; couldn't be more true. You have enriched the lives of many people with this channel. God bless, and good luck with all of your future endeavors.

WOW, I can't believe I have followed you all so long on your journey, 1 door closes and another one opens in life.👍👍

Bill, you're an inspiration to all of us. Can't wait to see where your next step leads you. Good Luck!!!

Great video. Appreciate the look back and your thoughts and memories on the property. God bless.

Great Show Bill! I really appreciate the way you put it that these are memories not trophies. I've explained it to a number of people using those exact words and it is amazing how quickly they begin to understand. Good luck on your new adventure and God bless.

I’m not crying you are

Best Midwest Whitetail episode! Damn near brought a tear to my eye watching you talk about that farm. I'm looking forward to you finding a new property and letting us follow along when that happens.

Thank you Bill for sharing the history of your farm. I could not agree more that it is about the memories that are made while out in the woods with family and friends. May God continue to bless you and your family with the next phase ahead!

I love the way you look at things in life bill!! Hands down the best hunting show out there I have learnt lots from you guys. keep up the awesome work and good luck on the next chapter! The look back at all those bucks over the year got me pretty fired up for this season haha! And if you were to write a book I would definitely buy that !!

This isn’t the end but just a transition to a new adventure and set of memories that will build upon a great foundation that you have already established! Great journey so far...

A class act through and through. Memories are what you make of them and watching you over the years making incredible encounters for you and your family should have us all jealous! Congrats on your new adventures and keep the memories coming for the rest of us.

Fantastic History Bill! Love seeing the kids successes also. You did a great job best wishes for your next land Adventure!

Great video Bill. Thanks for sharing. I agree the memories are what matters the most.

“Always dream big” takes on a new meaning after this one... awesome story!

Great story as usual Bill! As is the sentiment with most all of the comments I remember watching most if not all hunts in your montage and most importantly have become a better bowhunter because of the content on Midwest Whitetail!! God bless!!

Thanks, Bill. I enjoyed the farm, too.

That was awesome looking back. Farms come and go, land comes and goes, deer come and go, memories last forever!

Great episode Bill! Thanks for taking the time to not only review all your great hunts on that farm, but also to address some of our questions and requests for more info. For me- chapter closed on that farm. I look forward to what lies ahead for you, and will anxiously await your next farm purchase and will again enjoy watching you build that property into a whitetail mecca. Continued support Bill. Eyes forward. Already cant wait for your next episode.....

Dear Bill, thank you for all the hunts, the beautiful footage. Best going forward!!

Tremendous story.....Best of luck on your next stage of memories

That was absolutely my favorite video from you guys, gives me some hope as an 18 year old firefighter (low income) that I’ll be able to live out my whitetail fantasy one day. You’re an inspiration boss!

I knew this already, but you’re a hell of a guy; Bill! Really touching story in this episode and I could feel your passion shining through listening to you recount the memories created on the farm and in the home. Keep your chin up and eyes open, can’t wait to see what you find next!

incredible stories on the farm Bill!

Bill. The way you love your boy reminds me of the love of our Father.

Awesome video Bill! We’ll all miss that farm!

Awesome episode !!! Good luck finding a new spot Bill, we're all excited to see where you take us next.

Love this episode. Thank you for sharing your real feelings about selling the farm. I am a little surprised how much time I have spent pondering what it must be like for you to let this place go. This episode helped me understand, great deer hunting is awesome, but it's not all there is to consider in a great hunting lifestyle. I appreciate you sharing.

Wow that was a awesome 17 years on that farm!! Nobody better than bill !!!

Congrats Bill. Enjoy the hunt for the next chapter...

Bill you are a true alpha! You can tell by your kids and the ideas you have! Can’t wait for the next chapter!

Continue to create memories. Thanks

Bill you had me bout crying at Minute 17 on !

Watching this brought back memories of getting the notification ring for your new video...really enjoyed you bringing us along on all these hunts, thank you...God bless you and your family Bill, cant wait to see what the future holds..

What a story Bill! That was awesome! It was cool to here a little about how you improvised to purchased the property. Good luck with the next!
