So they move to Iowa, purchase a farm and then there is a 200" deer on it to kill.

How does that happen? I know they have a lot of $ but 200" deer don't just grow on trees.

Been watching a lot of whitetail videos recently, and kept seeing that recent Bomar episode pop up as a choice.
Tried to avoid watching, because I can’t stand either of them...but who doesn’t want to see a 200.

A few observations, lol.
First, glad to see no corn piles.
Second, even though I can’t stand either of them, I enjoyed that episode. Not only a great buck(even though he named the deer lightning, and kept referring to the deer as lightning over and over and it’s nauseating) but it was cool to see the tactics involved.
Lastly, when she showed up, it surely seemed awkward...or at least she did.

Anyway, I can’t stand either of them, but that was (finally) a good episode, great deer and yes...I’m envious of that kind of Whitetail ground.

Let me tell you guys something. My father n law knows a deer farmer in Indiana that has sold several bucks to some tv people. Big named ones. They buy these deer put them on their farms and now they are hunting “wild free range” deer. Big antlers sell. This is 100% true and no I will not tell you the ones I know because this is how this guy makes his money, but I promise they are buying them. If you didn’t know it already, despite what your told on tv and social media, big antlers make lots of money and these stars are paying a lot to have farm bucks on their properties

First of all, Congrats on the big Deer!

Second, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was indeed a bought and paid for farmed deer...It's a TV show after all.

Remember back in the days when people thought WWE/WWF were real wrestling? Or "Reality TV" that has staged drama every week?

Some people idolize hunters that shoot game with big racks, that's why they watch them and bought whatever they are selling. When this becomes the norm, the TV Hunters realized that if they don't shoot game with big rack every time, they cease to be this super awesome hunter and people stop watching them.

Sad, but it's the reality of it all.

I’m not a fan of them either. The only reason I even follow their page is because Sarah is attractive. There are actually very few “famous” hunters that I keep up with and enjoy reading their posts. Higgins and Dudley are two, although here lately Higgins is promoting a lot more than I care to listen to.

Well that’s 10 minutes I’ll not get back.

Where’s all this money come from. Electric bikes riding along a loaded Jeeps on a private “farm” and traveling to Africa to shoot strange critters ain’t cheap.

What I mean is this YouTube/TV money?

They own a huge nutrition and supplement company, that's their main business abd where they get their money. They may not be everyone's cup if tee but it's sickening that every time someone shoots a giant everyone automatically says it's a farm deer. We are our own worst enemy.

I watched a episode of conquest 200 one day. They had a huge buck that they were having problems with. So they sold him too a guy in Michigan I think. Too a farm of 600 acres non high fence. This outfitter guides and sells hunts. So I don’t doubt people but them for there farms.

Just watched it.. She showed up in yoga pants then put on proper pants to go into the woods. Jeez people are so critical. I dont think I know a female who doesnt sit around the house in yoga pants, which she was probably doing while her husband was hunting. My 2 cents, anyway.

Carry on the bashing.

I am pretty sure most of their money comes from the fitness world/supplements.

I am guessing they bought the farm knowing this deer was in it. If not it’s a 1 and what ever chance that the farm they bought had a deer like this. Very few hunters will even see a 200” deer. I think I missed a 170 plus but it was moving and I shot at it with a rifle. I got flustered and popped a shot.

The point of the post is I could have 20 million in the bank and I could look to buy 500-1000 acres in Iowa which is exactly what I would do if I wont the lottery.

I am guessing the percentage chance that I could find a farm to buy and have that farm have a 200" deer on it is pretty slim to none.

Ok, you guys got my interest up enough to watch it. I forgot he was the spear/bear guy.

Yes, I noticed too that she acted odd when she showed up.

My guess is two reasons:
1. She could care less.
2. He's a feminine hygiene product whistle.

I used to watch any video or tv show about hunting I could find. As time went on, most became hard to watch for various reasons. To me, they started to move away from actual hunting to being commercials with deer in them. I understand why, just became boring.

I thought this one was well done. Really explained how they found the bucks' area well. The shot was perfect. The emotion seemed genuine.

Some of the best stuff was what I didn't notice......Didn't pimp equipment the entire show....Didn't ham shoot it and claim to be "a little bit back"......wasn't sitting on a big field of mowed corn with 50 deer in the background, including multiple big ones, only to be after "this one".

Good for them.
