Seek One knocks down a TN stud!!

Thank God the beast is dead. He won't be mowing down the tulips in Meemaw's flowerbeds anymore.
Probably had to wipe the corn off his tongue for the picture
I'm sure he's been laying under the trampoline and drinking out of the pool.
Nice buck regardless.

Don't know anything about seek one or the comments above, but a heck of a deer.
Seek one "seeks" out deer in neighborhoods, subdivisions, people's backyards, etc. These neighborhood bucks are the wariest of the whitetail species. To get past their super senses you may have to dress like Meemaw does when she tends to her flowerbeds and camofluage your bow to look like a common garden rake.
It's a heck of a deer and would be an actual achievement if they didn't hunt people's pets. I've literally seen them set up a ground blind next to a person's driveway and then the lawn service came and he was sitting in it while they began to mow.
That is pretty pathetic.
The new Seek One fence ground blind. Set it up anywhere to stay legal with HOA rules while you smoke, toast, piledrive those wild bucks
My sister lives in a suburb of St. Louis. She sends me pics of some absolute studs in her yard. Apparently over the years the freeway, shopping centers, and subdivisions trapped these deer away from any woods. Now they are just neighborhood pets that live in people's backyards. Please don't tell Seek One. They'll find out who I am and use me to locate my sister and find that subdivision. It would be quite an accomplishment, but I'm sure they could arrow the wary beast that beds down behind my sister's pool next to the fence.
That is a super buck but why kill a tame deer? Same as high fence hunt imo. And then brag about it on social media.

Well, that diminishes the accomplishment a bit.
Or slam a screen door so they think its time to get fed
Youtube clicks man! They get to "hunt" for a living making their money off youtube.
Somthing about that guy really gets to me . He recently started turkey hunting and maybe thats why. Hit a nerve . He has absolute no problem knocking on 100 doors a day and turns his cute charm wayyyy up and gets permission on countless places. Im sure he has a good stack of cash in the truck that helps too .

that will work, or you could just fire up the grill
I couldn't do it. I've always hated asking anybody for anything. I'd rather lease land, join a lease, buy land, or do without. I've probably missed out on some great places over the years because I wouldn't/couldn't knock on a door.

My hat is off to these guys! If you think finding those bucks and then getting permission to hunt them legally is easy, then you are living in dreamland.
It is a lot easier spotting bucks in fields and then getting permission to cut them off to bedding in public or private.

So the accomplishment is getting permission to kill a pet? Not hunting a wary wild animal?
Hmmm, color me NOT impressed.

I got a chance to meet Lee a few weeks ago at GA deer show. He showed up to watch the truck shootoff. He was very gracious to me my15 year old kids and was impressed by my son's 150 inch 8 pt buck taken on public.
These guys are well spoken and represent hunting will in my opinion. This is the future of more bowhunting whether we like it or not. Tyler Jordan was a smart man to partner with them recently. I would expect them to develop a new elite suburban camo line that is more akin to Kuiu and FirstLite vs. the everyman realtree camo. Just a guess...that is what I would do.

I would say it is both the permission and the animal. These are not deer in confined fences. These deer deserve to die, be honored, and eaten the same as any deer living on your 500 acres.
I drive through a lot of the places where these deer live in a hodge podge of 1-50 acre suburban and city lots. I am telling you that it is not much different than driving through Leoma TN and nobody will think twice about killing a deer on a small woodlot there.

Again, color me NOT impressed. I've worked with suburban deer quite a bit. They are nothing more than hand-fed pets. Killing one of those needs to be "honored" as much as killing farmer Joe's cow.

...but then, in this "look at me" world we live in, I guess I shouldn't be surprised how low some will sink to glorify themselves.
We all know YouTube and social media has ruined hunting for the majority. It's now mostly attention prostitutes that care nothing about the process. They just want a grip and grin they can put on Fakebook or a video they can put on YouTube. Unfortunately, so many people today are star struck over anyone that is "famous".
They may be well spoken and very polite and gracious group of guys. Bowhunting neighborhood deer is nothing new and I don't think anyone has a "problem" really with it. I've arrowed many does and bucks literally within 40 yards of my grandparents house. The difference is the way they portray it as such a great accomplishment. It's really not at all and I don't believe for one dang second that a knock on the door and good manners are they only thing they give for permission. No telling and we will never really know what kind of cash or incentive is exchanged for that neighborhood buck. I'll give them this, I can leave it on the tv and walk away with my boys sitting there watching it and I really don't have to worry about something crude or foul being said.

As far as I know, there is not any record book that differentiates between a deer killed on a 500 acre 30 year intensively managed property vs. a buck killed in Leiper's Fork, unincorporated Leoma, or on the Laurel Hill WMA which is surrounded by lots of small properties.
The non-typical Tucker buck fed from suburban back yards before being killed out of a blind in a field just a short distance away. Less than 5 years later, that buck's home no longer exists because homes are there.
I mean no disrespect and owe a lot of my knowledge to learning from you over the years. But.... I am surprised that a deer/land manager would not support killing these deer for population control no matter where they live by any legal means. The alternative is they just eat everything, cause more vehicle accidents, and the guberment will hire sharp shooters or whatever without any person having the ability to hunt/shoot them.
Location, location, location...you cant kill big deer where they are no big deer. A guy living in the suburbs cant walk out of his door onto the back 20/40 or always drive an hour or more to hunt. A guy living in the suburbs sometimes cant earn a living and afford a secluded piece of dirt the middle of nowhere where all of these wild wary animals live.
Hunters have been killing suburban and city bucks for years. These guys figured out how to get it on film, make it entertaining, and turn a passion into a career.

Exactly. I've killed a snot-load of suburban deer. Got paid to. With a silenced sniper rifle in the middle of the night. But it certainly wasn't anything to be proud of. Killing them with a bow wouldn't have enhanced the difficulty. Those deer could have been killed with a hammer.

And one of the many reasons I don't care squat about record books.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's something worthy of praise.
