Join me on an unforgettable week of bowhunting whitetails in the heart of the Midwest, Missouri, where I dive deep into one of the most iconic hunting practices in the world: hunting whitetails from tree stands. Partnering with two legends in the hunting industry—Brian Call from @GrittyFilmProductions and Mark Livesay from Treeline Pursuits—we embrace the adventure of saddle hunting, getting closer to nature (and the deer) than ever before.
This week-long journey is packed with insane encounters, stunning footage, and a heart-pounding moment when we get within 6 yards of a whitetail buck! Whether you’re a seasoned bowhunter or just curious about the art of tree stand hunting, this episode captures the thrill, challenge, and camaraderie of the hunt.

Increíble como siempre. Veo que el cola blanca es pasion como pueden ser aquí el corzo.enhorabuena.
Great job on another video , Pedro ! I love what you do and that you share that with us ! Along with some others , I'd say you're one of the best bow hunting content creators out there ! Blessings to you my friend !
Awesome work Pedro!! That's a fantastic Buck!
Great to see you hunting whitetails!!
5 Star set-up compared to your other hunts!
Nice work Pedro! I was fortunate to bag a nice big wt doe and my biggest muley buck this year but just couldn't find a whitetail buck! Anyway, they are so tasty glad you were able to partake and show us, thank you!
Great video! It's cool watching you take in our hunting culture. That said, up here in New England, we like to hang deer by their hind legs and let them age for a couple weeks…You just need weather cooler than Missouri to safely do so.
I dig this. Missouri resident and hunter and I really appreciate the approach and think it’s really cool you were able to experience a midwest whitetail hunt.
Pedro, you did it again. You had a great hunt and brought home 2 beautiful animals. I lived in Neosho Missouri for 10 years and I also had to get used to hunting from a stand. In Nebraska where I'm from most of the hunters I knew spot n stalk. In Oregon where I live now for the 4th time it's better to spot n stalk. Love your passion and respect you have in every hunt. Thank you for making great videos.
Buen trabajo monsieur! Always enjoy you content and the way you film your hunts. Felicitation!
Great hunt! You and Brian are the best hunting partners.
Awesome video come back to the show me state anytime
Congratulations Pedro great hunt and a very successful one , looking forward to the next one ,
Muchísimas gracias por la traducción.
Well done Pedro, now you should to go west for a bullelk
We need you with Cam Hanes and Steve rinella next
Nice video! 👍👍👍
I'm
Thank you Petro for translating the episode into German. I'm a big fan of your work and your videos.
Really cool to see you give respect and show excitement for such a “boring” Hunt/species after having watched your channel for so long and seen all the different places and animals you’ve hunted. Looking forward to the Ohio video; congrats on a good buck and doe combo!
Cool video. Glad you got a good buck!
Been watching you for years Pedro, Missouri bow hunter myself! Love to see you killed your first whitetail in our great state, congrats sir!
Pedro my brother! Your videos are just inspirational and motivating. You capture the culture and lifestyle of hunting on a whole other level. Truly you are what this sport needs to present the beauty that hunting truly is. It was an honor to have you use my aiders to help achieve success. Thank you for everything brother and Vital Ground Outdoors LLC will support you wherever you go!
Good job Pedro, I can’t believe you trust Brian to help you after everything you’ve done to him. Did Brian offer you one of his bear hides?😊
Glad you got to experience this type of hunt, Pedro! Good on you for always trying new and different hunting experiences all around the world. 👍 Many of us here in America, as you do in Europe also prefer to hang our deer from the back legs, and to wait for a week or more to allow the meat to adequately age at just above freezing temperatures before processing; it really does make a difference in the cooking and eating experience! 🦌
Pedro, I've seen you hunt all over the world and it's awesome to show my home state love! Hunting within an hour of where I live is something I never expected!
I'm curious what is the meaning of "Butardol"
Great deer but hunting out of a mini van?? dude, we need to talk…😜
To see Pedro and Brian whitetail hunting in my home state is next level awesome. Hunting from a saddle is my preferred method of hunting. Hope you enjoyed it. You dudes really do make the best content!
Awesome hunt! I'm new to whitetail hunting, but definitely hooked. I also hunted Missori this year (archery and rifle). Passed on too many nice bucks waiting for some that I had seen on trail cameras earlier this year. In the end I was able to fill my antler less tag and bring some great meat home to Utah. Nothing like corn fed Whitetail!!!
As one that has hunted literally all over the planet it’s awesome to see you in the woods in America “ catching deers,lol”. You say it can happen fast and that’s so true especially in the heat of the rut. My shortest bow hunt ever was literally like 15 SECONDS. I had just sat down in one of my 15’ high ladder stands, had nocked an arrow was reaching up to hang it on a stubby limb when I caught movement to my right. It was one of my target bucks coming down a trail. At about 24 yards I grunted and stopped him broadside as I had already drawn my bow. He measured 165 3/8”. Literally 15 second hunt.
De donde es tu cuchillo para desollar??
Sigue así!!
It's great to see Pedro back in the US hunting with Brian and Mark. Congrats on a successful hunt!
Muy bueno, Pedro. Se ha hecho corto el vídeo. Enhorabuena equipo!
Awesome footage,and very nice hunting trip. So happy to see a Spanish hunting ambassador like you put an incredibilidades perfomance in the top of hunting content so proud of you
Swed, Swed, Swed… 🙂
Congrats on your MO adventure and a great buck!
Pedro likes his venison like he likes his women, all hairy😂😂😂
Congratulations man. That's a hell of a Midwest whitetail buck man. Great trophy and wonderful table fare.
That was a hell of a shot on that doe!!
Amazing video! It’s weird seeing it from the head we always hand from back end
