If you posted the same pics/story across multiple forums for back pats you'd probably get joked on too. But thats on a different level than producing videos and trying to drive traffic to them.
I carefully trailed him for almost a mile, and watched him for sometime before he bedded, so not sure what your point is. I guess I just should’ve not shot him?
Did you not say in your video it was in the wide open so you were just going to walk after him in the wide open?
I watch more fishing content than hunting but what I come across pretty often are videos that show parking lots, trailheads, signs, lots of different recognizable scenery etc. Some video creators just flat out say where they are too.
I agree. However, you'll never see that on in video I post. I am very careful to film anything that would give someone intel on where I hunt. In fact I don't even say what state I am hunting.
Bingo
Yep. It was a highly unusual situation that I wasn't sure was going to work out. Initially I thought he was just going up to the coulees to bed, and I wasn't even sure he was a buck I wanted to shoot, but I got a good enough look at his frame that I wanted to get e better look and a chance to study him. I spend a significant amount of time in the field every year, and am fortunate to work and live where I hunt. I have learned some tactics that most wouldn't even try, and this was one of them. I was surprised he never looked back over his shoulder for that amount of distance, but I knew it was a risk worth taking. When I finally caught up to him it made since that he had been so laser focused, as the wind had been blowing form the group of does to him. I wouldn't;t disagree that killing a rutted up muley with a rifle is not high up on the degree of difficulty, but I would make the same argument for hunting elk and whitetails in the rut as well. I killed a 170" whitetail a couple miles from where I killed this buck, at 25 yards on the ground during the rut. He was with a hot doe, and I crept in on them. He must have saw some movement from the top of my head, and walked right up to me to check me out. Elk are as dumb as rocks during the rut as well. So, I would say that all animals are pretty dang vulnerable during the rut, hence the reason most guys save up their vacation time to hunt the rut.
Don't worry, we know.
So you track every single thing I post in every other forum? Wow, you got a lot of time on your hands! ,just be nice!
Nice deflection. You certainly dont have to admit your intentions but we all can see what you are doing. The fact that you can't tell what you are doing is unpopular here shows your lack of involvement with the forum.
Unless you own that land, I’d be a touch worried someone is gonna lease it out from under you… it’s what happens when we blow up areas of a state, but maybe you can get some nice camo coats and hats out of the deal before you have to slum it on public with the rest of us
I appreciate that, but zero chance of that happening with these landowners that live around me. They are about as opposed to leasing as any folks I’ve ever seen. They want total control over who hunts, and I guess in some ways I understand that.
Actually we don't like that either. We're tired of every last bit of attention seeking, self-serving, exploitation of hunting. The effects of it are now clear and undeniable; it's a trend that is going to create scarcity over the long term.
