It's on my list. I listened to his story on one of the trad podcasts, it's one hell of a ride he went on to get that deer.

That dude was as jacked up as anyone I've ever seen. And rightfully so. Congrats to him. That was quite a sequence of events. Funny how he swore it went down only 45 yards from his tree then they ended up and couldn't even find it at first. Glad they did.

Yeah, my guess is the deer went down but got a pretty good boost to go again when he thought every banshee from hell was celebrating in the forest. Lol

I have to admit that this is the best deer hunting video I think I ever watched. Thanks brock for sharing it! If fact, I saved it to my channel so I can watch it again. What an awesome hunt and man, do I love that guy's dedication and enthusiasm! Absolutely awesome!

Just watched this while doing some mundane tasks at work. That trail cam video was something else! Pretty impressive to get on that deer as many times as he did. But definitely a lesson in holding your shit together just a tad more cause I think Brock has a great point regarding that second wind. Fun video for sure!

I watched this Monday but couldn't find the thread.

Dude completely lost all composure. I've been close to this a few times and hopefully seeing it will help stop me in the future. A perfect example on what NOT to do in that and the shot in the ass. Things could've ended a lot differently. I would also say that the odds of that deer sticking around are extremely low.

Good for him, but I see a lucky man that got desperate. It doesn't normally end with a happy ending. Maybe that is why we all like it so much. This is why you get back on the saddle. Because you can't get lucky by giving up.
