I enjoyed hearing all the positivity from Aaron. That literally speaks volumes of his character as a man as well as being a hunter.

Erik trying sooo hard to pull everyone up and appreciate the BEST parts of this hunt!!! ❤

Been waiting for this one! Congratulations Aaron!! What a great buck!

Awesome hunt guys! I saw the short of this video and I've been waiting to watch the whole video. Great video!

Thing is you can always say 10 more yards, 50 more yards and so on, but it doesnt mean it will be there. At some point you have to make a call and i would have made the exact same call as you did so cant really blame yourself at that point

Thank you for sharing this hunt and experience - incredible buck. Congrats! The footage, narrating, music, message, and overall film is outstanding - job well done on all fronts. Please keep producing awesome content like this!

Just an observation, its not always the best thought process to rely on video to see shot placement. As a hunter, you should know and have the confidence in your ability. If its too dark or you are short on light, don't take the shot. Now, before people start hating on me - When i was younger, i shot a 6 point bull that was a special permit draw tag. I took a 30 yard shot and one that i thought was a good shot. I hit low, in the brisket. Only had roughly twenty minutes of shooting light when i shot. I gave him an hour and went to tracking blood. Long story short, we went back and got lanterns to see better, ended up pushing him three canyons over only to find the bears had gotten to him before we got to him. Mother nature feeds itself, sometimes to the dismay of us hunters. Again, this was only 23 years ago. I have learned a lot since then- when in doubt, back out. You made the right call and that is a great buck.

Hell of a video 🙌 Glad you still found him!

Dude awesome buck. Bitter sweet but it’s a learning experience and a memory thatll never leave your head

This will be a great story in a few years when the pain wears off. Congrats guys

Heckuva buck! What a great Muley year for you guys

So freakin sweet, way to get after it guys!! Sucks you didn’t find him in time but that’s just the way it goes. You played it smart, rather than bumping the buck!

Glad you were able to recover the buck, and what a fine buck he is! Hunting is full of woulda, coulda, shouldas... that's why it's hunting. My uncle had a buck eaten on during the night. They weren't sure if it was coyotes (likely) or a cat, but they were able to salvage some of it like you the following morning. Congrats on a beautiful trophy!

I had this happen in unit 62 only 12 miles or so from where I live. I'm a meat hunter and when I saw the reaction on your face to what had happen to the meat that really hit home for me as I could see the meat was your main concern and that's how it should be. I now have way more respect for this channel knowing it's not all about the horns.

Aaron congratulations on finding your coyote buck. It's a hard thing to accept. and find peace with what was left. I have left a few different deer or elk overnight in the woods due to it being last light and just enough time to gut it out and come back with help in the morning all those times I would leave my coat draped over the animal's body and it always worked nothing ever chewed on any of them. But then I don't know if anything ever got close enough to find any of them. Thanks for sharing your hunt and take care🙏 Marty

Great buck! Congrats. I was unfortunate and had the same thing happen to me two years ago.

You guys did the right thing. Not the optimal outcome but a truly sweet trophy muley

That loose meat game bag is legit. Great idea

Damn guys, that’s a great hunt. I watch a bunch of hunting videos, yours is top notch and will keep growing! Keep it up 👍

Awesome Buck awesome hunt! Congrats Aaron! Great video Payton

love your videos man!

The mass on that deer is crazy! Can’t wait to see the mount at the hunting expo!

Great video guys! Thank you

Nice buck. Things happen. I had coyotes eat my deer one time. Just cherish the good memories of your hunting trip.😊

amazing quality on this film! and what a buck!

Being from Colorado with the really bad winter kill we had last year I really appreciate you guys leaving the breeder bulls alone we need as many as possible these days.

My buddy shot a deer with his bow this January. The deer ran maybe 80 yards and died behind some brush. (AZ landscape in the flats). Coyotes had already eaten one of the back quarters with 20-30 min before they got to it

I just want to say great job on salvaging any meat you could. Hunting isn’t perfect all the time. You guys did everything you could at the time. It’s easy to say I “should have” when it’s the next day.

Congrats on a terrific buck fellas!

What a great film congrats Aaron that’s a sweet buck!

Hey, does anybody know what song was playing at the beginning of the vid, also this was an awesome video and trophy!

Nice buck guys and the shear mass of that buck! What kind of projectiles are you guys using in your 7mm PRC? If you don’t mind sharing I’m running a 208 LRX in my 300 PRC

Last season just before end of shooting light for the day, my 10yr old daughter shot her first deer which was a 5x6 with double brow tines. We didnt get to him until very early in the morning due to the fact he ran on neighbor's land. He was maybe 75 yards away in the trees and the damn coyotes got to him before we did. Literally nothing left except the head.

Congrats on the stud!! What unit is that?

Congratulations on a fantastic buck!!!!

Wow someone who puts the real score on the movie title alot of people say look at my 190 inch deer and you see it and you know it's just 160

Congrats on a stud buck! Bummer about the meat…. But it happens. Look forward to your next adventure!

Erik is definitely a real one for trying to uplift and reinsure you! Definitely an absolute stud and great representation of the species and animal. Glad you were able to recover him. Such a hard balance. Keep pushing to look, push too far and never find them…

207 is crazyyy!! Congratulations that buck is insane! Great job this year yall you guys got some studs

Great film guys, I know all too well how destructive packs of coyotes and wolves can be on game. We used to have big herds of elk and good mule deer numbers in N Idaho just like you filmed on this hunt. Those days are looong gone unfortunately, all thanks to Colorado's newest parasite, the wolf.

Great deer and an easier pack out , thx coyotes haha

Heck of a buck. Heck of a day. Heck of a shocker followed by HECK OF A SET OF ANTLERS. Followed by what the hell???? Haha. Congrats A.

Great buck. Just look at the stickers on that thing

Nice bino harness Aaron got the same one!👍🏻🇺🇸 Oh ya and Amazing buck!!!🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

Awesome buck guys! You guys did the right thing in my opinion backing out. Gotta trust your gut. Unfortunate the coyotes found him. Its nature though. Congrats. Enjoy the positives of the hunt.

Super buck dude, congrats! Tough break loosing some of the meat, but as hunters, we make decisions based off experience and gut feelings. It could have gone another way where you continued to bump him, and we all know how far a gut shot animal can run, and you loose him completely, so it happens to the best of hunters.

man beautiful buck sorry it happened the way it did. find a positive out of it! would make a awesome mount if you had the shoulder area look like its been ate by coyotes. maybe have a rid or 2 showing lol. give it an awesome story.

Hey what’s up, dude that’s an awesome deer. Also I knew it was just under 210! That’s a heck a of a deer, good work.

Aaron. You made the decision you felt was best, be proud of that. Also, good job on taking what meat was left. Not too many anti-hunters will watch your channel, but folks must understand the intentions of a moral hunter. Thanks for representing the community well. Lastly, as much as losing meat is a heartbreaker, the ecosystem greatly benefits by consumption. There are literally high mountain streams where salmon guts are dropped into the water by helicopter. The rotting salmon give back to bears, small fish and vegetation in the water. You're a good hunter.

Great footage great sight on the spoting scope wow great looking buck what a great start wow what agreat looking heard of elk now that is a Great looking buck Yes how to leave after knowing you hit him but it was a could thing to give him time That is a sad thing such a great looking buck I can unstand be upset wow that Buck looks amazing! Congratulation sorry for the finding this way! Great hunting Thanks for sharing!

I really really appreciate the reaction. I would have felt the exact same way. What a giant buck. Ya unfortunate about the shot.

Great job guys, what a nice buck " Until next time Colorado - get a control on those yotes 🐺🐺🐺 ! "

I do appreciate you showing the true ups ans downs of hunting. Congrats on an amazing buck.

Awesome buck man! And really for yoh all we know that buck circled back after being gut shot and was being pushed by dog all night

Absolutely stud!!!! Horrible circumstances to find him eaten but always a risk leaving them!!! Is assume with the lack of really good blood bullet didn't exit??

Wild!!!!!

Coyote problems just wait it will be wolf problems before you know it. Great hunt man what a stud

Shit happen we’re all human but wow what a buck congrats man it’s a amazing buck!!!

Sweet buck guys. Finally had a chance to watch the video. Lots of haters, but I can def see the 207. All those extras really start to add up.

Incredible buck! Could have been better but, could have been so much worse. Congratulations on a monster.

Been there,makes you feel like crap,congratulations on a great buck.

Dang it!! I would’ve stopped too guys, ya hate to push an injured animal.. what an absolute Monarch of a Buck!!!!

One thing i do is i know you said it was 7:33 i set a time for myself instead of how many more yards i go okay walk till 8:00 if he isnt there then call it head out just helps me because i get caught up in 10 yards becomes 1000

Wow!

We’re you able to save the cape? Not the most important thing but in these cases some times it is. I lost my moose meat this year. Once in a life time tag in wy. But my taxidermist called and said my cape fortunately made it. Hang in there man though unfortunate these things happen.

Happened to my Sonora muley.

Orange binos,that's against everything that is hunting lol

What’s the name of the song in the opening

So no tag on the rack?

It took how long to decide a 207" buck was a shooter when he was at 80 yards? ;) Things happen. Tough break, but great group of supportive guys.

Great buck..you could call that buck...The coyote buck...

Can't get too down. You could have went 10 more the night before and he run 500 more. Too many unknowns. You found it, tagged it, good work.

I would bet wolf also!!

I’m making a comment just for the reply 😂

That sucks, but 90% of the time hunters end up pushing animals which results in animals dead miles away, suffering or no retrieval at all knowing the animal is dead somewhere not recovered, all this in your mind knowing and witnessing and hearing these stories you make the decision to mark last blood and go back next day. Unfortunately sometimes other predators beat you to it. When other animals beat you to your animals it’s out of your control, but had you pushed him and lost him that would be on you and worse feeling. Better luck next season

Bummer. Pretty soon it won’t be coyotes picking a carcas clean 🐺

Coyotes ate their 207" buck

Coyotes gota eat to bud.. sucks but that's a stud buck.. easy pack out..

Song name?

Sorry about the yotes, gut wrencher, stud nonetheless

Hind sight is 20/20. Quit being down about it. Look at that thing.

Coyotes suck ! But that buck is super nice 👉🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I would name him chew toy

Hunting doesn't mean that you will get the big one, fancy guns or plain old 308.

That was disgusting. You should loose your hunting privileges for wasting that animal.

I’d name him Wile E.

That’s what happens when you back out until morning. Wtf…….yall want to make sure you get the footage in the light and you blew it!

All that matters is the antlers and cape, eh?

Pretty small for 207

Definitely not a 200 inch deer

You're waiting on the camera to shoot a buck in fading light? Please don't do that for us.

I like how the 1.625” eye guard says 3”. You guys i don’t think know how to score a deer. If you draw a line inline with the outermost line of the beam that’s where the time starts. That eye guard is not 3” long. lol. So if that is off by a once the rest is very easily 2-5” off. That deer is not 207”. As much as you want it to be.
