The HuntStand team has been knocking down big whitetails from coast to coast, so we thought it was time to check in with an update featuring six of the top whitetail hunting videos from 2022. And to think it’s just getting started!
Bowhunt or Die
Hunter: Kurt Thorsen
Location: Illinois
Background: Thorsen checked HuntStand’s HuntZone and set up on the downwind side of a known doe bedding area, hoping to catch a big buck cruising the ridge on his morning hunt. Little did he know, the 7.5-year-old buck he’s been after for a few years would make an appearance. After snort-wheezing and sending a few aggressive grunts the buck’s way, he comes in on a string to 25 yards.

Just Hunt Club
Hunter: Brett Joy
Location: Alberta, Canada
Background: The Edmonton Bow Zone in Alberta, Canada, is known for producing some of North America’s biggest mature white-tailed bucks. And with early season opportunities, there might be no better place to kill a velvet monarch. That’s why Joy has made this an annual trip on his whitetail hunting calendar. HuntStand predicted late deer movement that would end up proving true with a last-light buck stepping into bow range. Faced with a tough situation after his shot, Joy acts quickly to end the chapter of this glorious velvet buck.

Victory Outdoors
Hunter: Jake Reed
Location: Iowa
Background: Reed slipped out after work for a quick hunt. The Whitetail Activity Forecast in HuntStand read north of 80 percent, and peak movement around 6 p.m. Sure enough, deer were moving. Reed decided to shoot a doe shortly into his hunt, and before it was all over he self-filmed his harvest of a personal-best whitetail. The Booner-class buck green scored 172 1/8.

Backwoods Life
Hunter: Michael Lee

Small Town Hunting
Hunter: Chris Ashley
Location: Kansas
Background:When Ashley saw the trail cam pics of this buck, he made up his mind that it was the only buck he would be chasing for early muzzleloader season in Kansas. Using the aerial imagery in HuntStand, Ashley found the perfect location to set up a ground blind on a reliable food source. This 200-class behemoth is the kind of buck dreams are made of.
