Great hunt, great woodsmanship and great videography. Beautiful job Sir and congrats on a great buck!

Been hunting Whitetails for 46 years here in Wisconsin. That video captured the absolute ideal of what true hunting is suppose to be! The best hunting video I have ever seen! Thanks Hal! 👍

Yes, great sportsmanship just wildly shooting at the buck because it was a “big one” with a freaking inline! You never take a marginal shot and you could tell by how he justified that, that is exactly what he took. That’s not what hunting is supposed to be. Not where I am from.

@@Sparxeb with the country he’s hunting and the fresh snow I would not criticize him for taking what you call a marginal shot. Even if it would have been a marginal hit he had every opportunity to recover the buck. That’s the bottom line. This type of hunt doesn’t allow for standing broadside shots out in the open.

Love reading your stories hal nice job on the hunt being from Maine as well its 1 of the hardest states I've hunted to hunt deer

Perfect. No BS. Real hunt . No tree stands or bait pile. Wool clothes and lightweight LaCrosse boots shows me that this guy knows his stuff.

62 years young still running them bucks to exhaustion! Can't wait to watch tomorrow.

Great hunt caught on video. It’s always nice to hear a hunter acknowledge the Lord. And a very humble and nice man.

You can tell he cares about the animal. He took the second shot to put him down. I had to do the same on my first deer this year. He was suffering. I nicked the top of his heart on the first shot.

Putting a tag on a buck in Northern Maine with the small smoke pole is a accomplishment by itself. Congratulations

There was a couple of times Hal was wishing for his 7600 to throw some lead at him, probably would of had him the 1st day, great hunt Hal! Thank you for taking us along.

Great job.Helluva deer helluva effort.Nothing like big woods deer camp.

Really good video. Anyone else see the pep in Hal’s step after he found his track? I think I saw him run to the cab of his truck to get his stuff on 😂

I see your name on the board at bishops seems every year, we have a camp on ironbound on the bald mountain side, mountain deer up there, a lot of 8 point basket racks, and right around 200, guessing Hal was in the enchanted or holeb side for this one

You could tell it was a red hot track from pep in his step and the twinkle in his eye. It’s cool to see him still get so excited about a track even with all the years he has hunted. Its a true passion of his you can tell. I’m impressed he still uses iron sights.

Nothing like sharing a leftover meatloaf, used for a sandwiches, with a friend while hunting. There's just something about tradition that I really love about hunting, bring in a sandwich or two with you, sitting down with a buddy and sharing a sandwich, bag of chips and Good Times. These good times are trapped in memory forever, and now they're here on KZread in the metaverse for all of us to enjoy, thanks to you. With love from Vermont

What a hunt.. What a buck! Sitting by the fire having a sandwich, with the buck in the background is a powerful spiritual moment..In that moment, all in the world is right....

Had to watch this again. My all time favorite video on You Tube. This would be my favorite way to hunt. I’ve done a little bit of tracking but here in the mid Atlantic states you either push the deer to another hunter or you push it to posted land. What little luck I’ve had tracking came on super windy days with tree tops slapping together and fresh overnight snow. You gotta be ready as when you jump them out of their bed you have to shoot quick. Thanks for sharing this hunt and thanks for no whooping, hollering and fist pumping. Also thanks for no background music.Good job.

And that’s how it’s done!!! Great accomplishment 👍👍well done sir.

Harold blood you just seem like the nicest person honestly. I would rather have a cup of coffee with you then Warren buffet I can tell ya that. Great video thank you!

My dad hunted your method where he grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan 90 years ago, and you renewed some great old memories of him, thank you and that was a beautiful buck!

Genuinely admire this man for his amazing ability to get it done. I hope to God I’m in this good of shape at his age. There’s no doubt about it you’s boys earned it !

Hell I’m not and only mid 40s... all that clean living and broken stuff from sports... if I could only talk to my younger self....

21:15 Hal: "We're only about a mile and a half from Canada." Me: Sits in central PA wishing I were out hunting a mile and half from Canada. Loved the hunt and the video work, Hal / William! More like this one. Truly the highlight of my recent YT viewing!

You are awful brave for grabbing ahold of that buck before he was completely dead, because he could’ve thrown his head back and done a number on you Sir. Great Hunt, & a Great Buck! Congratulations on a successful stalk, that’s not an easy thing to do, especially when hunting a mature Buck!!! Bravo Sir, Bravo… 👏 👏👏👍

Congrats Hal ! Great video and awesome hunt ! Videographer did a great job as well.

Much respect for all you guys up north do to track these deer down in the snow like that.

Awesome to see Hal in action. Love it

Great film! Great buck! Salt of the earth...GREAT guy... we love ya Old Man! 🤩

Thank you very much Hal. I really needed a happy experience to make me forget all the disappointment I’ve been feeling the last couple of days. Congratulations and God Bless

Not only do I get to read the stories but I get to watch too. Turned before the border and met his match. Good stuff Hal. You'll be tracking deer on your hands and knees before your times up.

HEY Hal! Great hunt, brother! Staying persistent truly paid off. I've never had the opportunity to drag one out the way you drug him out. That's the smart way to drag a buck! Just ordered my woodman arms Patriot. Glad to see you packing one around the big woods!

Reminds me of the 80's when I was in my 20's I used to go hunting for a week every year up in Maine. Had a great harvest every year up there. Best yearly vacation I ever took. Somerset County, Maine.

This is true deer hunting people who hunt sitting on their duffs in their Cadillac elevated tree stand watching over a food plots are just sniping! Tracking deer an catching up with one a hunter uses all his skills an this the most respective way to pursue such great animal a Mature whitetail Buck! A very enjoyable video !

All I can say is it was worth the wait!

Hal you are a outstanding hunter. You earn these deer that why I enjoy watching a true whitetail hunter

This is by far the best northeast deer hunting video I have ever watched. I m in northeast and I know pretty well how tough deer hunting is here. Thank you very much for sharing. Great job!

Best tracking Deer hunt I have ever watched. You feel like you are there with you, just a few steps behind. I have saved it to show my son & watch it again. Thank You & Most of all the Lord.

What a great video and hunt! Congratulations Hal on another amazing buck. Great job to Will capturing it all on film. Loved how all of the elements of tracking were included: the seemingly endless miles, the sandwich breaks, the frustration, misses, and pure determination all leading to a successful hunt. That's what it's all about! Truly a special hunt and memories that will last a lifetime! Thanks for sharing. -Kyle

Picture perfect hunt! Amazing buck amazing memories! Way to go Hal thanks for taking us along

Great to see you again Hal! Great film

How can 34 people dislike this video? Obviously they have never been 2 or 3 or 5 miles from the truck at dusk.

Hal WHAT A BEAUTY.

Excellent video, one of the best I’ve seen all year.

It simply doesn't get any better than that....Thanks so much for sharing your passion and expertise Hal...

Wow, that buck still had some life in him when you grabbed the rack! What a beast.

Nice job sir, we have a camp on ironbound near Canada falls, on the bald mountain side, until work got too busy, and I blew three discs in my back, I used to love heading up there on fresh snow, I do have to manage one more to show my son how to do it, then the tradition will not die in my family, thank God he has long legs and in incredible shape, I’m short and stocky, not a good build for when the snow gets over a foot, get tired quick, but I have managed to run a few of them down up there, not nearly that size, you are truly a master at your craft sir, love your humility, that looks like at least 225 dressed, but guessing it could go more, your videos are awesome

LOVE my Woodman Patriot Muzzleloader too! Perfect for tracking, lightest gun out there.

This is Hunting!! I loved it when you said that the deer started to turn and not continue toward Canada.

Outstanding film Hal and Will!!! Loved every minute of it ! Beautiful big woods buck!

Hal, yes, we sure did enjoy your adventure in so many ways. Congratulations to you for the fortitude, diligence and respect for the animals and nature.

Well worth the wait, great job William and Congrats Hal definitely an eye opening hunt on mature Maine bucks.

Excellent Hal! Thanks so much for such a great video Will!

You are a hell of an inspiration Hal! Awesome hunt. One of the best hunting videos I've ever seen. Beautiful buck. Congratulations

Incredible video! Loved the format getting Hal’s thoughts and insights along the hunt. I love what you guys do. Keep it up and God bless!👍👍👍👍👍

One of the best hunting films I have ever watched!

What a hunt. Talk about a roller coaster. Congrats.

If that doesn't get you wanting to get out there and stalk one down, nothing will! Awesome trip...thanks for taking us all along!

Hal Blood and Will Altman are the last people I'd want behind me if I were a deer.

Out‘freakin’standing! Way to go Hal! That’s an amazing hunt.. great cinematography, a great story line, the highs, lows, misses, recovery, etc; a very well done representation of hunting the big woods. I like how the buck was still alive as you were walking up to him before you put the final shot in him. Shows the reality of hunting and real time footage versus the highly staged stuff in today’s hunting videos. I know some stuff has to be staged for videography sake and I have no problem with that. It’s just so overdone in most production videos today. This was not that case. Throughly enjoyed your hunt. Enjoy some great memories and delicious deer steaks this year Mr. Blood.

Great video guys. That's true hunting. No talk about sponsors and box blinds over food plots and bait!! Beautiful buck.

Awesome hunt and buck. Well done on the all the videos big woods bucks has been putting out over the last few years you guys are really doing good work for growing the tracking community

These videos are packed with vital info. Thank you Hal. Keep on the track!

Fantastic! Great hunt and a hell of a buck. Thanks for sharing Hal! I’d been looking forward to this video.

Great buck Hal, thanks for taking me on your adventure, just like we are right there with you! Ram trucks rule

Fantastic video!! Beautiful buck !! Great job to you and the cameraman! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!

Congratulations on the beautiful buck and the successful track. Persistence pays off! This was a great film, thank you for sharing your story so we can all learn from it and share in the experience.

You hung in there. Congrats. Nice hunt and great buck. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Hal for sharing this hunt. Awesome!! Congratulations on a great buck. This is a dream of mine that will come to fruition

It's a Great pleasure to come along on all yer hunts Hal! Ya'all in the Northeast really EARN yer Bucks fer sure.There ain't to many places here in Michigan where we can git on a track and run'em down except fer up in the Upper Peninsula. So many Dag-Gone Wolves up there now the Big ones are few and far between. Keep them vidja's comin, God Bless you and yours bud!

Great hunt and an even better story about a great way of life close to nature. Awesome job Hal and the BWB crew

Wow awesome hunt, thanks for filming it.

Awesome stuff Hal!! allmost unbelievable!.. I don’t know how you do it. That stuff CANT be easy!!👍👍👊

I love the little pep in his step at minute 5 when he decides this is the track!

Pretty funny how on the drag, you laugh and say, “That’s about all I can do!” I think I’ve said that once or twice myself!😂. What a BEAST!! Super video, super hunt.

Congratulations Hal, you need some just for men, that goatee is making you look old bud. Again an awesome hunt, thanks for including us in it.

Wow fantastic film, well done Hal really enjoyed this. The film is so well done
