This whitetail bow hunt takes place during the 2020 Wisconsin archery season in early October. Dave Bechtel had all his apples in one basket when two weeks shy of the archery opener the land owner spilled Dave's basket notifying him that someone else would take over hunting rights on the property. With little time left to make adjustments, Dave's plan came down to public land and seeking permission on new ground. On this particular hunt, Dave is followed by cameraman, Sam Ubl, into a small piece of ground they filmed a kill out of in September of 2019.

Watch Dave Bechtel self-film an awesome white chested bear pay him a visit just two hours into the hunt he's waited 8-years to be on.

Dave just finished hanging the double set to film the evening hunt when Sam spots a good buck moving in. From the ground at the base of the tree, Sam films the encounter as Dave sends an arrow into the buck, but there’s a twist! Call it a silver lining, so to speak. The same landowner that prevented us from tracking this buck was the very person rushing us to remove him once we spotted him from the road. What a shame this deer went to waste. He ran 180 yards before piling up and our hunch where he was dead was spot on. Dave registered this buck with his 2019 Wisconsin archery tag the very day we located him. Hopefully the landowner has a change of heart if he ever gets a similar phone call or knock on the door.

Join Dave Bechtel on an early season Wisconsin bow hunt on new ground he acquired permission on just a few months earlier. This buck was on the target list and Dave made a perfect shot!
