    Thanks so much for posting this one! This video is my entire season in 18 minutes. I have been pushing 30 days of hunts, been in the right spot all, but one day. I have seen deer all but one sit, even over 30 in one day. It just hasn't worked out for me for some reason I can't figure out. From atvs and people busting my hunts to sick deer and so many close calls. It is just how it goes sometimes. It can all change in just an instant!

Had a brute come straight in on me late October didn’t see him till he was 12 yards I could smell him before I seen him that’s how thick it was. He smelled me as soon as he was under me spun around and literally smacked into the tree I was in I didn’t know what to do didn’t even have my bow in hand.

    what i like about your videos is the fact you dont just show kill videos or every video showing success. you give a real representation of how hunting is especially in the big woods. lately it feels like a video of just sitting in the woods for 8-10 hours with nothing but squirrels birds and wind would be an even better representation. tennessee hunting is tough on public land

    Thanks for all you do. I was reading some of the negative comments. Wonder how many states they hunted, how miles, how many hours hunting, and editing. How many deer have they harvested? I harvested my first buck in 1967. Don’t know how many I have put in the freezer and on the table. Safe to say I have better than one deer a year average. You all do just fine. I have no doubt your videos have helped many beginners. I have stopped watching some other hunting shows due to the attitude and personalities. I will never stop watching this one. Personal note, no one can ever do better than when that young man harvested that buck with the family model 94. Family goes deeper than blood. That segment is the tops for me. Keep it up. Don’t give the naysayers another thought

    Aaron, As soon as the video started on episode 42, and I heard you say, I’m gonna set up in the tree the deer were walking under. I cringed… I will usually setup 10 yards off a trail… The bucks will come barreling down those doe trails nose to the ground..Close one though, you still could have had him if he hadn’t circled behind that tree. Good hunt anyway.

    Man, that's still quite the hunt. At first I was thinking you could have been 1 tree closer to where the spike passed. But, then it turned out you should'a been a tree closer. When the big fella' passed; you could have been 2 trees further away. That! My friends is called hunting; as good as it gets! Great hunt! Really appreciate the super fast-pace uploads! There is always something to watch = everyone appreciates the effort you all put into this. It would be a dream to have the time to hunt like you all do =( picture it in my mind ) But I get by and do my hunts in the way I can each season...and I have a pretty good idea what it would entail to hunt harder where I am in Quebec. Much Respect!

    I'm telling you this style of hunting is so stressful in a good and bad way. Where I live I'm surrounded by ag fields and baiting is legal. So I've always hunted ag field edges or baited. I set up cell cams so I know what to expect and around what times. This year I completely switched to mobile hunting and I love it. I change my spots non stop. I hardly ever touch my cameras anymore and I scout non stop. So far I've had 3 big bucks come within 20 yards. I didn't get them which sucked. No shot opportunities, but on the one buck i paniced and spooked him, but it's magical. I did harvest a couple does already though. Which is great. Thanks guys for giving me confidence
