all right it's gonna get weird alright
guys were in Northeast Wisconsin and
Logan and I have been hunting the last
couple days on public land up here but I
remembered I wanted to do something
before the season even started now that I
at least shot a buck in Iowa we want to
do a Walmart challenge one of our goals
when we started the hunting public was
to get more people into hunting and we
just kind of want to show how easy it is
nowadays to get started in bow hunting
so we're gonna go to Walmart get what we
think is the bare minimum to get started
and see how much that cost not gonna be
too picky we're just gonna go out and
try to shoot a deer I don't know if
it'll be a doe a small buck or what but
it should be pretty fun to just go out
try to kill a deer so we're gonna go to
Walmart today maybe go to the bow shop
get the bow set up so it fits me and
then hopefully go out and hunt all in
the same afternoon here so something
that a lot of people probably don't know
is that hunter numbers are actually
going down and it's pretty scary how
fast they're going down we want to get
new people into hunting if you're
interested in hunting we just want to
show how easy and affordable it can be
nowadays at least get proficient with
the bow we're not saying it's gonna be
easy to go out and kill a deer but with
the equipment nowadays it is somewhat
easy and affordable to go out buy a bow
sight it in so we're pulling up here
we're gonna go in and see how much cost
to get started in bow hunting
hopefully i have enough money in my bank
account to do this that would be ideal
I think this is the one it's only 20 20
bucks
goes the 31 inch draw so she should put
me all right I think I got a new bow
it's got a three pin sight whisker
biscuit it's all set up looks like it's
ready to go I just got to buy some
arrows broad heads and maybe release I
think and then can you guys think of anything
else I'll need don't have a bunch of
options here 388 dollars and you could
probably find one cheaper that's either
used at a bow shop or I mean I bought
them off eBay before and stuff like that
it's just important that we take it to
the bow shop after you buy something so
they can kind of inspect it and help you
get it set up so it's fit to you this
bill is really adjustable though so some
youth hunters could probably pull it
back it goes from 40 pounds all the way
to 70 pounds and I mean I'm pulling 70
pounds on the bow that I have now so
it's highly adjustable you got 21 inches
all the way to 31 inches so if you're a
beginning hunter this would be a good
bow for you to get just if you wanted to
try to get into bow hunting and I mean a
kid could grow into this bow over a
course of 10 years and use it for the
rest of their life really I mean I'm
sure we can get this thing shooting
pretty proficient up to 20 yards and
hopefully kill something within the next
couple days here so you're gonna look
through what they got for arrows
broad heads a release and some practice tips
and we're probably gonna head to the bow
shop then and get this bad boy set up so
I'm just gonna grab the cheapest release
here I'm sure this will work just fine
it's 14 bucks and just like most things
we're gonna be buying today you can buy
something that's more expensive it might
make you more proficient there might be
easier to use but I know that we're
probably gonna be able to get by with
this release got some field points for
just under three dollars here and then
one thing that I'm not gonna buy real
cheap is broadheads I'm gonna get the
cheapest ones that I've seen used before
these are slick tricks this is what Zack
shoots I know they're super sharp and
pretty good quality I don't want to
spend $10 on broadheads there's so many
different broad heads out there and you
can read reviews to help you out but
I've seen these use before and if I'm
gonna splurge on anything today it's
definitely gonna be these they're still
only 30 bucks you get three of them
probably gonna designate one practicing
with just to make sure they're shooting
like the field tips and then the other
ones will still be razor-sharp when we
go out to hunt tonight
so can't get the cheapest arrows just
because my draw length is too long so
they're eight bucks apiece I think got
to buy some tags here and then
we'll head to the archery shop
hi there how are you good are you
yes I do I've never done no I'm just
things are going good awesome good I
don't know if I'm gonna be able to shoot
it with that on there good okay see your
ID
look like me but it is me
we're just filming the bow the moment
of truth here see if it works she work
it's kind of surprising actually
thank you yeah 489 dollars and 63 cents
to have all the fun in the world
some complications up there up front
I always tackle bait shop and motel
have you help me set this up alright
doing a YouTube video or we just went to
Walmart and bought everything I just got
like the cheapest stuff I could find
there gonna try to kill a deer with it
actually kind of seems nicer than the
one I got right now all my wal marts got her dialed in huh yeah that's how close we
want the deer tonight it's much further
missed him high see consistent at least
alright yeah the thing rippin em like it's
going pretty fast actually had it on
backwards different won't work we had a
different issue at the Walmart this
morning lady the cashier can't figure out
how to get the security lock or whatever
off of it makes you have a bit of a
meltdown
she was really whipping that funny
so here's tonight's tools I got a I
don't know I think it's a five-gallon
bucket you're supposed to blend right in
with the snow and I got the Walmart bow
again obviously it's a couple months later
still wearing the same shirt though
it's in the middle of January right now
and when I was here last it was the
middle of October so obviously some time
has passed didn't fill a tag last time
we're here got close a couple times
and got really close actually in this
exact spot I was drawn back on a couple
does right in this cornfield that's
cut now but the deer are still coming
out to it so I'm gonna get back in the
same area where I drew back on those
does last time I was here by myself
tonight so gonna make things a little
bit challenging maybe but I'm gonna find
a spot maybe sit on this five-gallon
bucket get tucked into these junipers in
these Cedars and get set up over a trail
that's coming out to this field so I'll
get in there and talk a little bit more
about it but I got to get going I'm over
to be late
all right before I do my opening
interview I just want to do a little tip
we've been doing this one all year but
we don't think we used it in an actual
video when I'm sitting on the ground I'd
like to have my arrow obviously knocked on
my bow and then I'll take another one
out of my quiver and I'll just set it
within arm's reach
that way if I were to have to make a
follow-up shot or just flat-out miss and
the deer sticks around I have an arrow
that I can quickly grab that way I don't
have to get it out of the quiver no
matter what kind of quiver it is I
forgot to buy an actual quiver at
Walmart so I just found an old one in
the closet that you just slide the
arrows into but I mentioned I'm a little
late and the reason for that is last
time in October we're up here with the AP Bassin crew and those guys came
up here again and I was actually doing
some fishing with them for the last
couple days so we're out on the lake
today I caught some brown trout they got
some sweet videos coming out they had
their buddy along named Murray he's also
got his own YouTube channel so we'll
leave the links down below they got some
really cool brown trout fishing videos
that they just made as well as some cool
videos from last time there I paired
October so it was fun to meet up with
those guys but I'm gonna start watching
i'm set up over a couple good trails I
can see the tracks and the snow where
they're coming out onto this field looks
like they might be staging up in this
open area just kind of following these
paths and they're browsing a little bit
on these trees they recently cut down to
make this opening so I think I've got a
good enough hide it's just gonna be
tough getting it on film on the ground
like this was not a ton of cover but I
don't have a ton of time left so I'm
gonna shut my mouth and start watching
here
it's exactly what we wanted think I
made a perfect shot I know that's only
a doe fawn but I haven't been shaking
like that all year I heard him coming
through the ice from over a hundred
yards away when I first heard them I
thought that there at 20 yards or so
loud them breaking through the ice but
they are really far away and it just
took forever because I could hear from
so far they can smell over there where I
walked in and they just followed my
ground scent right up to this opening I
mean I I know some people are gonna say
oh you shot a fawn great job but that
was awesome
Walmart bow perfect shot as far as I
know I think it crashed right here and I
don't know what more you could ask for that thing is gonna taste delicious might be
a buck fawn might be a doe fawn
I don't know but it's dead it that was a
lot of fun but that was tough I guess if
this Walmart challenge is proved one
thing it's that it might be easy to get
into bow hunting and be proficient with
a bow and get to shooting real good but
at the end of the day getting a deer
within range with a bow any deer is a
trophy and that is gonna be a trophy
that was a lot of fun there's been a lot
of mishaps along the way I've been drawn
back on several deer but I wanted to do
it on the ground
basically as minimal as we could sitting
on a five-gallon bucket in a flannel
you don't need camouflage you don't need
a high-dollar bow obviously all those
things help having a nicer bow helps
having camouflage helps but if you want
to get into bow hunting you can go to
Walmart you can pay I can't even remember what
it was because it was so long ago now
but it was under 500 bucks you could use
this bow that your whole life is one
easy to take care of it
and you have that much fun that's
awesome
I'm like don't look I have daylight I'm
sure there's gonna be blood everywhere
pretty sure the deers right here but I
may just go look at the blood mark it
I'm gonna call my buddy get him over
here and we'll probably frying up some
backstraps tonight so that was awesome
so this deer came right down this trail
here she was standing somewhere right in
here on that shot now it's sitting right
back in there and those junipers never
really even looked at me until I drew
back I think she probably heard me draw
a little bit but I can see right where
the deer took off oh I can see blood
already that's perfect
awesome I wasn't sure if I was gonna
make it happen this year with the Walmart
bow most of the state of Wisconsin has
actually closed right now but the county
I'm in is still open so I'm just gonna
follow a little more blood but what I'm
seeing right now it doesn't look like
we're gonna have any problem so I'm
gonna back out pretty sure the deers
actually just dead right back there but
go get my buddy Tony and I will see you
in about an hour
all right well I got my buddy Tony here
he's the one that helped me sight the
bow in and everything when I was here
last probably just gonna make a short
track job out of it and then we're gonna
try to get back in the warm weather I
think it's like 10 degrees so let's go
find this
we got a Walmart doe or doe fawn down
up ahead i think there we go big fawn people
say when they shoot fawns alright well
we're gonna keep this short because it's
freezing out but basically things went
perfectly the objective was to get a
deer on the ground with that bow from
Walmart and make a good shot at it
didn't matter what size deer that was
gonna be the challenge is just getting a
deer in range and getting a shot at with
that bow that's exactly what we did I
know several people that still need deer
meat we could still use some more deer
meat but I've got a buddy in mind that
has four kids that didn't get much time
out the woods this year said he needed a
deer so I'm gonna drop this off at their
house tomorrow after we get it quartered
up and him and his four kids and wife
will really enjoy it
those deer were still going to that same
cut cornfield but Logan and I got a
close chance at some dose earlier in
October when we were here last time so
we're pretty much on the same pattern I
just had to tweak the setup a little bit
got set up in those junipers and those
Cedars just sitting on a five-gallon
bucket in the middle of the woods late
season so that was pretty fun I had a
lot of fun tonight it was really fun
because I could hear the deer coming
from so far away and I couldn't see him
at all pretty much until they were
within range right before I shot him so
I had no idea what was coming in could
have been a big buck for all I knew so
my heart was really racing when I saw
him step out that first fawn that stepped
out was pretty small not saying that
this is a big fawn or a big deer by any
means but this one was bigger it's a
decent size doe fawn it's gonna taste
pretty good but the point being is went
to Walmart bought a bow sighted it in
the same day and even though we didn't
get something on the first time out
which is definitely the case a lot of
times in hunting we were able to stay
persistent came back up here again for a
couple hunts listened to her fall down so that's
gonna be a wrap on the Walmart challenge
and this is probably gonna be the last
deer hunt that you guys see on the
hunting public channel until next fall
so hope you guys enjoyed the fall we had
a ton of fun bringing it to you we
appreciate all the great feedback all
the comments
I'm cold we're gonna get this thing
dragged out of here and maybe fry up
some backstraps either tonight or
tomorrow let's get out of here the
biggest one I've ever got in this county
hopefully we can change that next year
