Welcome to southwest Wyoming you're watching Eastman's hunting TV. I'm with
Korky my buddy again we're hunting mule deer. This is going to be awesome, so grab
a deep seat.
It begins with the legendary pioneer in wildlife filming, wilderness, adventure
and fair chase trophies define him. The son adds to the legacy and becomes the
voice for a generation of hunters. Today the third generation pursues trophy
big game in places where success comes from skill, determination and grit. Now 60
years of hunting tradition comes down to one defining moment. We're the Eastman's.
We've been filming and hunting for over sixty years and three generations and
these are just a few of our adventures. This is Eastman's hunting TV it's
big game hunting and it's as real as it gets.
On today's episode we're gonna travel not so far to southwestern Wyoming on a
trophy mule deer hunt with my little brother Ike. You know we've had some
rough winters in Wyoming it's been really hard on the deer but I think
there's a few big bucks yet to be had out there. Ike's going to be hunting in
the second week of October which is normally a really tough time to hunt
mule deer. The weather's been hot and dry but we're hoping for the best.
That's a nice buck he's a 3x3 he's really wide but he's a 3x3. Pretty
young bucks hanging out with two other young bucks. One's a 4x3
one's a little 4x3. So we'll let them live for another day but he's
wide for a 3x3. So far Ike and Korky have turned up a lot
of younger bucks in the area, but they're looking for that one old moss horn
warrior that somehow has managed to make it through the bad winters in the
drought.
His front forks aren't bad.
I can't believe he's still standing there. A Roman nose on him doesn't he. >>Yeah. A sure nice buck.
>>How about that look at that. By himself. >>He's a great buck great buck especially
for Wyoming this time of year. You know with the winter that we had a
few years ago and winter kill and all that stuff. We just couldn't see what he
was didn't know what buck he was and he jumped up and ran and didn't give us
opportunity but, we couldn't find him again. Welcome back to Eastman's hunting TV.
The middle of October can be a very tough time of year to hunt mule deer bucks.
As the bucks become very nocturnal, Ike is hoping a mature buck has moved
into this patch of buck brush. This is why I love hunting down here.
Just buck after buck after buck after buck. Mule deer hunters candy land.
That's a really good buck it's just crabby on his left front. At first
we thought he had a little trash but really what it is he hasn't rubbed
off his velvet yet. It's kind of dangling on his back but he's a really nice buck.
We've seen some really nice bucks this year but a ton of deer.
She just picked his head up. He's almost perfectly symmetrical.
Ike has decided to try to make a play on the wide buck. But after he and Korky
get onto the hillside the bucks were feeding on it looks like the brush is a
lot thicker and harder to see into than it was from across the canyon.
The guys eventually turn up the smaller bucks but the big buck is nowhere to be
found.
Welcome back to the sagebrush country of southern Wyoming. My brother Ike and his
buddy Korky are looking for a big Wyoming buck they found earlier on in
the hunt. Let's pick things up and see if the guys
can manage to pull it out at the last minute and get the big buck on the
ground before the season ends. We're going to walk over the end of this ridge, see if we can find that buck.
Should be bedded down over there we sat and sat watched and watched and we never
saw him leave. When you find yourself hunting mule deer during the middle of
October you have to be dedicated and persistent. Ike and Korky have been looking
over this patch of brush in this drainage for two solid days now. Waiting
and hoping the big buck will make a mistake and show himself one final time
before the end of the season.
Just about when Ike thought it was all but over
Korky spots the big buck trying to escape through the brush right
underneath them.
Look at this old dude. Look at that. Look how heavy that buck is he's a moss back.
Looking at all the raking and, oh.
Look at this. He hasn't even rubbed off. Big ol mass.
Good Lord look how massive he is in web. It's just a bruiser of an old buck coming off
the drought. Look at the big old Roman nose and gray face. So I took this great
buck. This deer's an old buck you can see his big old Roman nose. I mean he's got
webbing that won't stop he's got all this stuff going on down here he's got
big ol' huge bases. Got real nice main beams he's just a great great
representation of a great buck in Wyoming. I'd like to thank Korky and his
family Wendell and Debbie. Thanks for watching today and remember fair chase
