Thanks for the kind words Hunter Mag!! That is why we decided to make a video, we were just tired of video's that showed guys climbing a tree and killing a 125-150 class 20 times in the video.We all know it doesn't work like that so we wanted to show what everyday joe's go through to hunt big deer. And that it always doesn't work out.. If you like the shed footage from last year wait till you see this years!!!! Walt

Thanks very much - Stik hit the nail on the head!

Really enjoyed the video guys. Only watched it once so far so pardon my memory.

Watching you pass that beautiful buck was crazy Todd. That was an intense and long
encounter. It's funny, when they start staring at me like that, it is usually my a#$.
Must be the predator camo.

I'm sure many people can identify with a frustrating season. I had one last year on a much more
minor scale. I'll be rooting for you this season.

I also like how Walt got his buck on the last (or close to) last day and you could see the desperation
that we sometimes get as the season is coming to a close.

It also shows all the hard work you put into it and how you guys aggressively chase the deer.

Also enjoyed all the extra footage, like the young buck working over that rub, and the little things
like leaving your lane trimmings where they fall (always piled them up).

Keep it up. I look forward to next years video.

Thanks very much LebeauHunter! Greatly appreciate the comments....

In-regard to the buck I passed - yeah I hear you! Only a few years ago I would have given my....... well, you get the picture.

It's amazing what seeing some HUGE deer can do to you're opinions of what you may or may-not "enjoy" shooting. Like the late season muzzleloader hunt when I film my good buddy Andy Nevar passing that beautiful 3-1/2 year old 140 class. Yeah - we could have had the kill - but as we pointed out - sometimes you just have to eat a tag to really appreciate the moment when it does all come-together (regardless of how many years that may be).

I've eaten a tag in Illinois the last 3 years, and don't regret passing any of the dozens and dozens of P&Y animals I could have killed because for me, I enjoyed passing them more than I would have shooting them. Hopefully the karma gods will be shining on me this year in Illinois in my 4 year running waiting for a big mature buck! Maybe this will be the year - regardless I know I will enjoy the hunt!

Those are somewise words Todd...and I hope the gods are with me also in Illinois. The hard part for me is that any buck will most likely be bigger than any bucks I see. (wish me luck).

Spoiler did you get that tag???? Walt

Todd,

Yeah, it's all relative based on experience, desire, and the area hunted. I have a lot less
experience (especially bowhunting) and I hunt in Louisiana. That buck you passed would be
the king of the woods where I hunt.

That took a lot of maturity, patience and respect for your quarry by both you and Andy Nevar.

Looking forward to next year's video. I guess you guys have already finished shed hunting
and are working on the scouting portion.

Again, good luck.

I'm in velvent hunting madness right now! Wait until you see some of the footage we have already taken - some pretty impressive bucks! Can't wait fo you guys to see it next season!
