He bought the old guy and his wife some beer and donuts and went and watched a football game with them for giving him permission to hunt their small property.. I dont think thats writing a big check.

Finally had time to watch it, huge bone and amazing numbers thrown around! Cody even sounds like his ole man too.
Thanks for sharing!
Summer scouting 2025.... only watch if you like big bucks and there's a question for us all to answer, how far will YOU go to get on that big buck?!?!

The question is how far will you go to shoot a big buck and get to jump up on that band wagon and BEAT YOUR CHEST AND SAY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME IM THE BEST !!!! Sorry not a fan of these guys... Here's the latest pro-staffer look at me hero... Love when they get caught...

I appreciate people who push the limits of human performance to achieve extraordinary results, even if it's not something I'd do. There are far more egregious "look at me" people in the hunting world than these guys. For example, I unsubscribed to the Deer Society last night after the old man Dukart claimed to have "missed" a deer with his Ten Point crossbow when the arrow clearly hit the deer low and back. He then admitted to having not shot the bow with fixed blades and blamed the broadhead more than himself. When he killed the buck the next day, you could clearly see the wound in the guts before he shot, and in the recovery video. That's the hubris I can't stand, and I've never seen that from Seek One. If they mess up, they admit it, and that's how it should be.
Watch and let me know if you agree. Go to the 15-minute mark and watch until 19:30 when he recovers the deer and see for yourself...

Lee would do this without a camera and it shows. I haven't seen him say it, but I think his number one follow in life is God first and chasing big bucks is his addiction. Not the fame. If I am wrong, so be it, but until then I will enjoy what he does and be thankful thatbhe shares it. A true light of hope in this fucked up bone measuring contest it seems to be.

I live in the big woods of Vermont, most guys on these hunting shows would struggle their asses off tagging a buck, big bucks here don't show themselves in crop fields, and you don't drive the roads here hoping to see a buck on a piece of private land and then knock on doors, not how it works in this neck of the woods, lol.

@Maxxis31: You hit the nail square on the head... The Benoits would grab their Remington 760 and get on a track and stick with it till they shot that deer...That's what I call a hunter....

And they could be on that track for hours, hoofing it through a foot of snow, lol.
Apples to oranges fella's. They might struggle in farm country trying to find a track in the snow when there isn't any and then they run into property lines.

Everyone always thinks their situation is the hardest or “real hunting”.
This dudes created a life where he can hunt and scout and he does. He puts tons of hours in and does it consistently from city to suburbs to farm country. Never seems to be selling a magic bullet either. He just finds a deer he likes and puts in 100% effort.
I really don’t get it. If he had a lease folks would hate him. If he had his own farm folks would hate him. If he went to an outfitter they’d hate him.
just so we are all clear on the goal posts here - I’d like it outlined exactly what he needs to do to be considered a “real hunter” lol.
Idk about yall but I don’t hunt to make it hard.
I enjoy running an arrow through a deer, and as long as someone’s doing it ethically - God Bless Them. If I can kill them day one or day 100 in the woods - I am happy to do it. I don’t care where I fall on the spectrum of erroneous hunter status. I am certain Lee don’t give a sh** either.
Strange…

I've seen enough of him to know that with a little adjustment time he could kill nice deer anywhere on the planet! Not many hunters can equal what this man does in farmland or urban hunting plus we have seen him succeed out west also. Hunting up north in the big woods with snow on the ground and a 06 over your shoulder I'm pretty sure there are several people on this very web site that could find and tag a good buck if they wanted too! Give him credit! big free range bucks are not easy and this young man has a big house full.
The deer he killed on public land in Kansas or Nebraska is proof he can get it done anywhere. That hunt was one of the best filmed hunts of all time.
IMO anyone who hates on Lee Ellis hasn’t watched much (or any) of his content. I’d put him up against anyone when it comes to killing deer… any deer. He clearly works his tail off and gets the job done time and time again. And to top it off, he’s one HELL of a content producer. There’s a lot there to respect, and very little to hate on, if you ask me.

Not hating on anyone, just saying the deer woods in Vermont are by far Not like hunting CRP, CORN,SOYBEANS, or any AG fields, watching deer feed from roads and then pursuing them is not what happens here, I definitely like Lee Ellis and his content and how he pursue's his game, exceptional honesty, just saying it's not what happens in the North Woods of Vermont.
Was thinking the same thing Chuck lol. It’s different everywhere you go. Take the Benoit clan down to the Wayne and see what they end up with without any snow to track in.

Ok guys sorry I don't agree with everyone about Lee Ellis.... I just went out and bought an autographed sweat shirt of his to show my support... But I'm sure Mr. Ellis reads 99% of outdoor sites such as this... To boost his ego trip...So Mr. Ellis make a believer out of me and head up to the Northern woods of Vermont and show us how good you are... And I don't mean the foothills, I mean the BIG MOUNTAINOUS WOODS.... Come on you can do it..
With my little cock I’ll be sure to stay far away from Vernont for Christ sake. For a little guidance the big hills are a little farther west.
