 We have arrived, ladies and gentlemen, to a tree that I've been wanting to put a tree stand in for over a year, the first time I ever came down here. I thought it was gorgeous. Me and Mike, the moment we rattled up a few bucks around here last year, but always wanted to have a tree stand where we could come in here, hunt hogs, and get these deer that are passing through this area is sort of like a bedding area and just a pass through between different feeders and parts of the property and it's like a good, cool midday spot. This tree behind me right here, it's a big elm tree and right over here we've got a feeder. It doesn't work, but I've put a camera up here before. I captured some pictures of pigs and a couple of just really big bucks. So we're going to have to do some work here in the tree, do some limbing, but round deer camp. This place has been here like since the 70s. There's stuff everywhere for building blinds and just tools and the guys I'm on this lease with, they're great at fabricating steel and stuff like that. Lots of tools, so it's great. We have lots of random stuff hanging around. So I've got a piece of a ladder stand right here. I've got a little tree stand that I got probably two years ago and we're going to try to makeshift something together and we're going to corn it and we're going to see if we can get any pass or throughs. I don't know, I just love the spot. So this is tactic. This is going to more aggressive hunting tactics for bucks. Given that the rut is kicking off and we're going to see a lot of deer moving. I'm going to try to stay safe. I'm by myself right now. Hopefully I don't fall out of this tree, but let's make something happen. Let's build something. A good sketchy tree stand. I'm probably going to have to wear a harness in this one. It's pretty sketchy, but I like it guys. It looks good. Angle looks good. There's a little bit of lane clearing I got to do. Just one tree, but it's looking pretty minty. All right, y'all. The time has finally come. I've been wanting to hunt this area from a stand or a blind for over a year. The first time I saw it, I was just flipping out, thought it looked so awesome. And it is actually right behind the spot that my dad got his first buck last year. Place that has a ton of bucks crawling on it. I actually went back and looked at some camera pictures before we got out here and there's just a lot of good bucks. A couple of trophies running around. And I think this is their little haven areas where they come bed downs, where they do a lot of moving, tons of rubs, tons of scrapes around here. So we're in the thick of it. Taking the bow, obviously. We're just going to be archery hunting out of the tree. And there's turkeys running around here too. We got fall turkey season. And I call the spot turkey bacon for a reason because I see a ton of pigs in here. It's beautiful for turkeys. See, I just love this area, if you can't tell. So we're going to just put a jacket on, throw on the Bino harness. It's still hot. It's like in the 60s right now. And my lanes are pretty tight. So I am going to take some corn. There's nothing really getting on this corn yet because it's so new, but still just in case. I'm going to take something. I'm going to fill something with some corn and just put it out like in a lane that I can get a shot at. So it's got the practice. This is insane. Well, if any of y'all are archery hunters, you probably already know what I'm about to say, but I can't find the deer. This shot I've practiced thousand times. Shot plenty of animals right there. I don't even think the deer ducked. It was just one of those weird things. I shot a little high. The angle coming down, the exit wound definitely got some meat. May have clipped along. I watched the deer run off and ran into a fence, looked discombobulated, ran a circle around me. It ran into a fence. It crashed into another bush or tree. I thought it was done right there and then I heard him get up and I heard him kind of get up and fall, get up and fall. I don't know if I got some of his spine. I don't know if I clipped along. I found a little bit of blood by the fence where I remember looking over and seeing that exit wound, but that's a clean arrow, guys. Pretty daggum clean. So what was and still is the best hour sitting in a tree buck hunting. For me, I had bucks all around me. I was rattling them in. It was amazing. Got a nice mature buck, trophy buck throughout here to come out, get close within range, saw them fight. It was incredible. I was almost in tears after I shot that deer because it was the most perfect buck hunting experience that I've ever had and now I'm faced with this. I don't even feel like filming this or talking about it, but this is archery hunting. If any of y'all get into it, you will go through this at some point. Hopefully it's not on a trophy buck. Like I said, this is a shot I've made in my backyard a thousand times. I think I took it for granted and even standing up, adding a few more feet to that angle. Just increased that high trajectory and I should have just aimed for the heart, like I'd tell myself all the time at that range because if you miss high, you're hitting low. But I just felt sure of it. So this is pretty much going to do it for me, for my archery whitetail season, guys. I really hate signing off like this, but tomorrow's another day. I'm filming another video out here. I'll let you guys know what happens. I'm not deer hunting. I'm going to go duck hunting and I still thank the Lord for what I got to experience tonight, but that was my mistake. Wooning an animal is really one of the worst feelings in the outdoor sport, if you want to call that that. I'm not going to sleep good tonight. No one should feel good after that. This one really stinks, guys. I'm going to show it all anyways, just because it's a real experience and I know some of you have gone through it or will go through it and anyway, I'm just sharing it with you. So any positive messages I would appreciate down below. I'm already going to be harder on myself than any of you guys can be, so don't worry about leaving a negative comment. Thank you guys for being here for all my videos, the good and the bad and the ugly, and I will see you on another day in the outdoors later.
