    What he did on film, most men are not capable of. I hunt hard and smart, but that was a serious level! Nice work young man.

    I haven't watched it yet but I'm assuming your referring to the new episode "BH or die"?

    I take it you didn't watch the end of it? I now have more questions about Todd.

    Maybe he's talking about him holding his bow at full draw for a minute and twenty seconds… that would be a feat if he wasn't pulling 34lbs :D

    And… we've known Graf isn't human for a looooong time :D

    Yeah he did a heck of a job. I really liked seeing the patience of not taking that slightly quartering to shot when the buck was rubbing. I know some guys would have let it fly.

    Getting it done on film with such a nasty angle was pretty good. Shooting that deer in the arse was, well, just too bad.

    Good hunter? Absolutely!

    But a lot of guys get it done on big bucks every year, and some even do it on pressured or public land. Lots of guys, even on bh.com, are on his level or higher.

    That episode had too much of Todd. His after-shot interview was longer than any of his hunts. Im guessing things are a little slow right now? :poke:

    Congrats to him though. Great buck. That's why you practice being at full draw for an extended period of time, you just never know.

    I know of at least 3 bucks that are coming up in the next episodes… slow? I wouldn't go that far. ;) I personally think it's nice to see the trials and tribulations of the hunt and it shows how much time he actually spent to kill one deer… that's real. TV makes it look like you go hang your stand, climb up and shoot a 150, that's not real.

    I like the realism as well but I feel like they could've squeezed another hunt in there.

    Now Im waiting for these 3 bucks that you speak of. :tu:

    Hated to see that first buck get away. That was a tough angle and a hurried shot but he admitted it, learned from it and moved on. The incoming rain made that buck a very likely candidate to lose. When rain is imminent, nothing but close and broadside shots should be taken at calm deer... if even that.

    The second shot was much more Todd like. Great shot, nice video, nothing concealed and many can learn a lesson about quartering away angles. There's a lot of body to pass through with a large blade even with a perfect hit.

    what impressed me is the total production on the successful hunt. The narration, the patience, the awareness, and concentration it must have taken to actually make the right shot, get the shot on film, and then the post shot camera work... Are you serious? After I take a shot I almost throw up on myself I'm so full of adrenaline. It's all I can do to mark the spot the animal was and the route they take running away. No way I could have done everything start to finish it took to get that all done, much less have the wherewithal to get it all on camera from beginning to end.

    This episode personified why BHOD is the best hunting show around. Seriously - :hail:

    Agreed, hands down best hunting show I've seen. I've been watching it for years.
