Donuts delivered to your hunting spot? That’s pretty darn cool.

What was the biggest buck actually seen by any group who hunted in the challenge? (bucks seen from the vehicle dont count, only those from stand/saddle/ground) while hunting.

Teddy finds two big ones in the last episode. 3.5 for sure, probably mature.

Yea, pretty reflective of my experience in Michigan. I did most of my hunting an hour or so east. 3 year old bucks usually 100-115" and there's not a ton of them. Lots of deer in Michigan though, so it's fun deer hunting but pretty discouraging trophy hunting. I believe Dan when he says he saw way more deer in Michigan than Wisconsin. My out of state hunting experiences (OH, KY, KS) have been much lower deer density but generally better age structure. A lot of respect to these guys for giving it a crack.

It was awesome to be looking over your shoulder at the moment of truth.
I'm happy you guys could get it done in my home state.
Congratulations!

Never been so excited to watch deer hunting. Can you guys go do a rut trip please ?

[Kraftd]

Congrats Joe! These videos are amazing.

That one Ted almost killed was a tank of a deer. Thought they were going to give us the surprise double!

[Motivated]

Awesome job from everyone involved! Congratulations Joe!

Special props to Jake though... It must be extremely difficult to climb a tree while riding a chicken. Chickens can't reach the beast sticks, so Jake had to find an especially strong chicken so that he could fly up to the stand while riding the chickens back. And to do that quietly without all the flapping noise...amazing!

I can't believe he caught one that strong...

×2 This would be awesome!!! Rut series would be fantastic!!
Congrats to Dan and Joe!!! A big ol swamp donkey and a beautiful buck on high pressure ground. Great stuff!!!
Props to THP guy's and everyone else involved. Great series!!!

Great job, Guys!
Not only informative and inspiring video production, but superbly entertaining as well.

Love the way everybody banters back and forth all the time.
The "chicken leg" thing was hilarious.

And Kevin bringing donuts out to the guys was just plain righteous. Nobody's ever brought me donuts in a Public land parking area!

[Ranger Matthews]

Congrats. Great job. Very entertaining , definitely a very successful public land challenge in many ways!

[blackwidow]

Congrats on a fine buck! I don't know if Ted is ever on here, but he needs to be given props as well. It's obvious watching him progress as a hunter the last couple years that he understands what he is doing. He is getting pretty darn good at getting into good bucks.

Congrats guys,

I need to get myself a few of those corn trees...

One thing I would like to point out. Bot Joe and Teddy need a good pat on the back for NOT rushing and taking poor shots. Both of them had to have the old adrenaline pumping and could have easily rushed a poor shot. Hats off to both these gents for not going there.
