Gun season is starting to roll around, and the window for your best chance at your target buck before the orange army rolls in could be closing soon. Like always, get in the woods because you sure can’t kill them from the couch! Here are some of the great bucks that these hunters were able to harvest in the past week.

Taking a trip to Ohio public land, Tornabene had high expectations for the trek and they turned out to be better than expected when he took down this palmated freak of a buck. The brows are over a foot long, and look like mini moose paddles!

Hunting whitetails on public land is not an easy feat, yet he is able to make it seem easy every year. Filming for TheHuntingPublic, Ted travels around to many great states in search for mature bucks, and he always seems to find them. Hunting in Iowa, he got it done on this giant old buck.
This impressive Illinois deer was killed by Wells, who is known for his show where he uses primitive tactics to take down all sorts of game while consistently killing giant whitetails in his home state year after year.

There is still plenty of time in the season, so stay after it!
