Been hunting from the ground with a bow for many years now. Killed my biggest buck (148" P&Y 4x4) at 7 yards sitting in some cedars with a bow in 2014. Here are a few of the lessons I've learned that have helped me and my buddies a lot. 1. wind is your enemy. 2. camo your face properly. 3. when looking at deer close one eye (old indian trick that actually works). 4. keep having fun Tom! I'll look forward to watching you get a big one!

What does closing one eye do?

@@CoryFalde175 a face is naturally less recognizable if there is 1 eye visible vs 2. Like humans, most medium-larger land mammals have a knack for spotting faces. 1 eye fights against that natural ability of them in spotting faces/spotting danger.

That buck jacking with those turkeys was hilarious. Great footage

It's funny what animals do when they think nothing is watching them!

6 years ago I started hunting from the ground. Play the wind an opens up a lot more areas to hunt. 1st year I got a doe after gun season. Since then I learned a few things. I have taken an 11 pointer, 14 pointer, 8 pointer, several does and 4 turkeys. When I was a young lad my dad hunted off 8 foot wooden step ladder, there was nothing else. No camo. I love it. I have taken more deer from the ground

Love your approach to things.

Yes please! More ground hunting!!!

Love the ghillie suit brother. For hunting that’s way more than sufficient I’ve done similar things in the past with artificial plants.

Tom "Rambo" Alford, great video man! Keep trying, your set up is great! You'll get em.

I like it Tom Rambo thanks

Awesome channel. Great mobile hunting setup...It’s always a exciting challenge just part of hunting . It’s definitely a Big Blessing after all the hard work pays off.....good luck bro you’ll get that deer meat and trophy!

the field edge is enticing but thats exactly when the deer are on their most alert, when they hit the open. i stand futher back in the cover. standing gives me a comfortable 360 degree shot , something sitting or a climber doesn't

love this show!

I've done a lot of hunting from the ground and it can be very exciting but also very hard and frustrating. The few things that I noticed from watching this video is that you need to give yourself a little more cover first. Second you need to move slower and do not draw your bow unless the deer is looking the other direction. Movement is way more critical than when in a tree stand. That one doe saw you just rotating the camera. Good luck this season and have fun.

I know this video is a few years old but I really enjoyed it. That is a beautiful place that you are hunting. I wonder if maybe the artificial plants are giving of some UV . You are well concealed but they are picking you up easily.

It’s got to be hard self-filming and hunting on the ground. Good luck. Looking forward to see you get one on the ground.

More videos from the ground!!! Been watching since season 1 !!! BHOD

You normally give the deer some advantage with the wind ? Hunt a cross wind ?

I live hunting from the ground but I like to be in more cover than what you were in at that time. Also Zach from the hunting public is VERY good at ground hunting, seems to be like Jim burnworth when I used to watch his shows type. Who’s known for telling the camera guy ‘stay here’ then sneaks in and shoots them at 20 yards. Love ground hunting myself. Gotta get into a spot where they’re coming through, but in tight cover where you might only have a max of 35 yards to shoot to seems to work best for me.

Facts, travel corridors, find some Galen trees or ditch that moves them in towards a path of least resistance, sorta funnel them, it will bring them in super close, but you be hidden, I like finding funnel inside of a funnel, but wind is most important, got to have the wind rite, you got to know that wind is rite, had to repeat that one, you ain’t gona fool that nose

You are the Best !

Heck of a lot quiter hunting from grind, than clanking a stand or rustling in a tree, Just got pay a lot more attention to wind

Finally some ground action on bhod, awesome! Just a tought, i think you need better and darker background for your set-up on the ground. Good luck 👍

Those deer know you're on the ground!

I'm taking it your hunting private land? Super cool watching that Buck!

Great footage! Your Arrow was knocked upside down so probably a good thing you didn’t get a shot because your green fletch probably would’ve made contact with your bow causing a bad shot or complete miss. Maybe next time

It’s a drop away rest doesn’t hit the fletching I always shoot cock feather down

Try a turkey chair they sit alot lower to the ground you can still draw ur bow to.

that was so cool and entertaining. the video wouldn’t have been any better had you shot one. i hunt SE WI. lots of grass and marsh here. your area looks like westernish wi? keep it up!

love ground hunting, bought a stand, never went up a tree and it's for sale. Both turkey and deer, ground, bow, public, no blind. Lets make it a challenge.

Had rotater surgery not able to climb so iam gonna be ground hunting this year.

You didn't notice they hear your mechanical zoom, and tripod friction? I hear it in your film and they react with your noise.

Does your suit smell? If not how did you descent it?

Last year 2020 I was in a tree stand and shot a doe 3 1/2 years old at 25 yards . My Second button buck at 47yards 18feet in my tree stand left handed which I am right handed it was a awesome shot left handed , but the beginning of the story is I was sitting door four hours and didn't see any movement I came down and was putting attracted on my wicks nose high when I got busted from two doe good size and never had my crossbow in hand

From the ground!!!! Awe yeah...love you guys....this most I do but I need a stand for my step son !!!! If anyone can help sleep a used one please make this dream come true for my step son and i!!! Truly a selfless dream come true!!!

The homeade guille suit doesn't seem to be working, not to mention, if your bowstring catches it, you could rip your face off. Ground hunting is a fun challenge. Go for it!

Where did he get that jacket

He made it from fake plants at Hobby Lobby!

Not for nothing but if you were in a ground blind you would of gotten a shot at that buck. I hunt with a ground blind I had a small buck wanting to enter the dam thing so I stuck my hand out one of the windows and I hit him with my hand so he would stop. He jumped so hi I laughed my ass off.

I always hunt from the ground I like being mobile

Yeah something is up getting busted

They're definitely busting your scent. You need to sit downwind from where you are seeing them instead of upwind.

You are not smart are you dear they move around during it's raining because when you're sitting still you get soaked and get cold cold so they'll move around more and plus they'll feel safer from them thinking that their predators don't hear them coming

You need to spend $ 8.oo on a pair of gloves !

This is the worst episode of The Hunting Public yet.

Has no idea what he’s doing on the ground. Moves and talks way to much
