The USS Zumwalt, the largest destroyer ever built for the US Navy.

The 610-foot, 15,000-ton behemoth has begun sea trials before joining the US fleet some

time in 2016.

Its price tag of $4.4 billion is almost as astounding as its bulk, but US Navy Captain

James Kirk, the ship's skipper, said he was "fired up" for the Zumwalt to finally set

off for the Atlantic Ocean.

So advanced are the Zumwalt's stealth capabilities, that it registers on radar as a small vessel,

about the size of a fishing boat.

It is about 100ft longer and 20ft wider than the navy's current class of destroyers, and

boasts more advanced weaponry.

Its computer-guided missile system can hit targets up to 63 miles away, and it may eventually

be equipped with a laser weapon or electromagnetic rail gun.

The Zumwalt class was designed with multimission capability.

Unlike previous destroyer classes, designed primarily for deep-water combat, the Zumwalt

class was primarily designed to support ground forces in land attacks, in addition to the

usual destroyer missions of anti-air, anti-surface and undersea warfare.

The Long Range Land Attack Projectile, one of a range of land attack and ballistic projectiles

with a range of up to 100 nautical miles fired from a gun, is a key component.

On 21 November 2016 Zumwalt lost propulsion in its port shaft while passing through the

Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean en route to its homeport in San Diego.

Sea water had intruded in two of the four bearings that connect Zumwalt's port and starboard

Advanced Induction Motors to its drive shafts.

Both drive shafts failed and Zumwalt hit the lock walls in the canal, causing minor cosmetic

damage.

Zumwalt's passage through the Panama Canal had to be completed with tugboats.

Zumwalt underwent repairs at Vasco Núñez de Balboa Naval Base before continuing on

to Naval Station San Diego.

Upon arrival in San Diego, the leak was revealed to be through the lubrication cooling system,

though the cause remains unknown.

Nebraska Whitetail Hunt - Duration: 19:24.

Steve Stoltz and I decided to

head out to Triple H Outfitting

in NW Nebraska

with Jamie Hanshew.

This is the second year

in a row that we are going out

early season to get on a

big buck and Jamies' got an

inventory of buck that are

really truly remarkable

last year we killed Kickers

out there early season

and this year we are hoping

for similar type of luck

♪

He is hitting that west side

and he is in front of that

stand a lot

how manuy pictures we get?

Lots...and he is going

right by the stand.

Chris and I have been talking

to Jamie and he has a bumper

crop of big whitetails

One being hightower, another

one being a big 9 point

another one coatrack a big

wide buck

with shorter tines that we

named coatrack, but any

of those bucks would be great

to shoot, escpecially in early

season. The are all mature

bucks

So early season hunting can

be a ver effective way to

kill a big mature whitetail

they are on a feed pattern

and assuming everything lines up

it is a pretty easy way to get

on a big deer and get him killed

early in the year

We were very fotunate last year

to take a really nice buck we

called Kickers which was part

of season 1.

♪

I mean he is just an absolute

pig mature whitetail

5 and a half for sure

just a absolutely beautiful buck

I couldn't be more proud

couldn't be happier

That shows the potential that

this area of Nebraska has

these deer are huge

and they grow big antlers

pretty quick.

We are actually back in the

same set we took that deer.

First day that we have been here

we drove all night from Missouri

about a 12 hour drive

got in about 8 this morning

took a nap

got ready, came out.

Just got set up

We got about 4 hours of

daylight left. Jamie has

got some really nice deer

in this river bottom

and basically what we have

got is right behind us is a

alfalfa field with a river

bottom

directly behind me

These deer funnel up this

river bottom working their

way into the alfalfa

This is really a staging area

these deer will come in here

and hold up until dark

then they will move over into

the alfalfa field so it

is a really good area for

staging deer

a lot of activilty, a lot of

daylight pictures so we are

excited about the first day

out here at Triple H

Outfitters

stick with us

♪

Mid September you typically start to get some of those cooler afternoons

unfortunately what we found

when we got out there was the

temperatures reached into

the mid 90's every day

and this high temeratures

really impacted the deer

movement

We weren't getting a lot

of movement off of the stand

weren't getting a lot of

movement on trail cameras

and it made the hunting

extremely difficult. We

just weren't seeing a lot

of deer.

Alright we are set up its September the 10th second day

Of our Nebraska hunt first hunt this year of Season 2

Buckmen TV And i'm really pretty excited this is my first hunt

Chris Kossmeyer my partner he hunted last night and we just saw a small buck

So that brings us to tonight and we are just hunting evenings we don't want to push in on these bucks

in the morning and bust them out of their bed because they are probably

bedded down, at least the cameras are telling us that they are already bedded down before daylight

so, we are only hunting evenings right now and what we thought we have 2 shooters

a big 10 we call hightower and a big wide 8, I don't know what I am going to call him...Coatrack

but he is wide and has got short tines. So, coatrack and hightower

are bedding up in this draw we think

We didn't see anything in the stand in the bottoms so we are going to try the blind today

and see what happens, if that don't work we have cameras out at different stands

and we will go check the chips tomorrow and we will see

If nothing else maybe we will get a visual on these deer and figure out if we need to move

the blind or set up a treestand on them but pretty cool stuff

Your watching Buckmen TV

♪

so it's been about 20 minutes since

since those bucks showed up

got 2 spike bulls up at the end of the alfalfa

cut alfalfa

three whitetail in these

the higher alfalfa, but

none of the big shooters have showed up...ones

mature buck I'd say he is probably a...

2 1/2 year old maybe 3 1/2 but he is a small buck

and two really tiny bucks

so...a little bit of a dissapointment tonight, but...

the good new is we did a good job brushing in this blind

on the end of these haybales

they never even noticed the blid

they're just out there feeding

We'll just check the trail cam pictures tomorrow

on the different cameras that Jamie has out

and see if we can get a line on where these big bucks have

moved to, but they haven't went far

We'll get back on them

Soon after we arrived we realized that there was a problem

on the area that we were hunting, which is not a cattle ranch

but there is a cattle ranch adjacent to the property

and we had cattle that were getting through a broken fence

and crossing an open cattle guard

which impacted our hunting significantly

we actually had cattle around us on stand

multiple evening the first few days we were there

♪

well that was the evening (laughter)

I just went 'blah'

here comes a trophy

big one

a lot of good eating right there

I might pass though

These cattle really started to interrupt the hunt

There were several times we were on stand, cattle would feed by

disrupt the area, the deer movement was just not there

cattle and deer typically don't like to be around each other

in close proximity, and this was an example of these cattle

in an area where they weren't supposed to be

greatly influencing the deer movement

we just weren't siimply seeing r

One of the issues I had with going on this trip is

I had made a commitment to go to Kansas

and do a Jakes event

for the National Wild Turkey Federation

It kind of put a whole spin on it where when I was gone

Jamie Hanshew was going to have to get behind the camera

and film Chris Kossmeyer hunt

well I'm on the road again driving heading for Kansas

to do the Kansas chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation

Jakes event. Going to go down and help the kids

learn about turkey calling

and kind of do some workshops with them

work with the kids

I made that obligation a long time ago

before Chris and I set this hunt up

So I am leaving Chris with Jamie Hanshew

Jamie is going to film him the next couple of evenings

maybe they can get one down while I am down there

and when I am done with it I will head back and join

back up with Chris on Sunday

Usually when I leave something happens

♪

People think of Nebraska being more of a corn belt state

with tree rows

which a lot of the state is but...

when you get into the Northwest part of the country

its surrounded by canyons, pine trees

good deep ravines, creek bottoms

It's just a great territory to hold big trophy animals

This is day 3 of our hunt and Jamie has graciously agreed

to video tonight

and the reason for that is Steve Stoltz, the host of the show

had to leave this morning, early

and drive to Manhattan, Kansas to do an NWTF

seminar session

so Jamie is behind the camera tonight

now last night we did not see a shooter

We had 3 small bucks come out

I will tell you though, the night before Jamie got some video

of a bachelor group that came out in the same spot

that had 3 very nice deer in it

one is hightower and hightower junior

and so we are excited if those deer come back this evening

we should be in a really good position to get one shot

weather is ideal, we've got 75 degrees, we've got a north wind

the wind is coming across the alfalfa to us

and so we should be in a really good situation tonight

if we do in fact see any deer that come within bow range

we should be able to get one shot

stick with us Buckmen TV

and we will be back, hopefully with a big deer for you

♪

so we are really at a little bit of a loss as to what to do at this point

we've got cattle in the river bottom

we don't have any deer up top on the alfalfa field

so we really decided to go back to basics

review the game trail cameras and find out where these deer were at

in an effort to get something located that we could get shot

so we're about a week into this hunt

Steve has just finished up his commitment with the NWTF in Kansas

and is going to be heading back the next day

so Jamie, we have one more evening on stand where Jamie will be filming

and we're hoping based on the information we had from the trail cameras

that we are now in a set that will provide some activity that evening

coincidentally the set we chose is the same set

that we killed Kickers out of the year before

we're back in the river bottom, which is a favorite stand of mine

♪

We've gotten setup in this river bottom

same set that we killed Kickers out of last year

the reason we are here again is that we have game trail pictures

in the last 24 hours of two really good bucks

both mature deer

I'm feeling fairly blessed, this is an unbelievable set

river bottom, perfect type of staging area

that allows these deer to funnel into

to the set we are at in an effort before dark

before they move up top to the alfalfa field

I got fortunate enough to have Jamie Hanshew, the outfitter

acctually runing the camera tonight

we're set up, we're ready to go now we just need these big deer

to cooperate the weather is perfect

we've got a Northerly wind that is coming from the creek

falling back up on top

so we are kind of tucked up on this hillside here

it's a great set, good cover

we're going to get settled here and see what happens

got a few hours before dark so stick with us

so now it is about an hour before dark and we have had

several doe and yearlings feed past the set that we are in

and we spot another deer that has a rack

what we can't really tell at this point is which buck this is

we wait

we continue to wait as the deer progresses towards us

and finally Jamie identifies it as a big nine

one of our shooter bucks that is on the hitlist

Jamie is running camera

I grab the bow, I'm looking through the rangefinder

trying to pinpoint where this deer is going to come out in the set

antipating what shot opportunities might be made available

(crickets chirping)

he comes into about 20 yards

I draw back

release the arrow and it was a great hit

the deer didn't run very far at all

and we had a tremendous 9 point on the ground

I was thrilled, Jamie was thrilled

we were highfiving in the stand

We've gotten down from the set now. We've got a...

we're going to go over to the shot impact point

take a look at the arrow, it looked like a really good shot

you never know though

it's only been about 15 minutes since we shot the deer

so we are going to go and take a look at the sign

if it warrants we are going to go ahead and try the recovery tonight, if it doesn't

it's no big deal we will back out and come back in the morning

we're going to slip over here it was about a 25 yard shot

see what the blood looks like

see if the arrow is I think it was a passthrough

so hopefully the arrow is laying over there

Ya, its a passthrough

got good blood on the arrow

lets see what the sign looks like

alright everybody we've got a blood trail here

we're going to keep walking this out for a little while longer

we haven't gone that far from the blind, probably about 50 yards

and he is just now starting to bleed pretty good

were going to stay on him for a few more minutes here to see if we can recover him

look at that he is curled up

we could not see this deer

we stood back there about 75 yards

and we glassed this whole area

like I said we ran out of blood about 75 yards back

we were a little perplexed he came through a creek crossing about 100 yards from the stand

I tell you what these deer are tough

The fact is this was a really good shot on a deer we looked at the footage

he crossed that creek down there

a little dry creek bed

sandy and we lost the trail

we came up on this little creek flat

and we started glassing this brush in here

expecting to see a white belly or something

and we didn't find anything

well you can see why, I mean he is litteraly tucked

down behind these

sunflowers

so we are out here in Northwest Nebraska Triple H Outfitters

this is the early season

this deer just came out of velvet

we've got velvet pictures of thr

as recently as 2 days ago so he has just shed his velvet

early season it is September 12

its a heck of the way to kick off the season I'm tickled pink with the deer

Steve is going to come out and I am going to film him for the next couple of days here

along with Jamie and Buckmen TV this is what it is all about

we have the opportunity to hunt some terrific ground

Jamie Hanshew, triple H outfitters they really do they have got some

unbelieveable hunting out here in NW Nebraska

I really encourage you to give Jamie a call

come on out here and spend some time with him

it's just some absolutely awesome territory

the terrain is diverse there are river bottoms

plattes, alfalfa fields, rolling hills

they call them rolling hills I call them mountains

but its an absolutely beaufiul area out here

this is the kind of deer they grow out here

tickled pink with him

Thanks again folks for watching Buckmen TV

Well when we created this show

one of the things we wanted to do was show

that everyday working hunters can take giant whitetails

but we also wanted to show

the lessons that we learn

from each buck we take on film

Well here are the lessons we learned from this weeks episode

number one sometimes you have to go out of your element

to get the job done

In our case we went out west

and Chris got that great buck

number two

sometimes you have to overcome the elements

to be successful

just keep grinding it out

even thought you aren't seeing deer

you are all the way out there for a hunt you may as well keep hunting

and number three

those bucks are still going to be there

even though you have cattle

even though you have weather conditions

big mature bucks

still got to feed

they're still there

and you have to hunt them

exactly like that

make sure you don't give up

on any hunt that you go on

Steve Stoltz and I have been partnered up here

for Buckmen

filming each other for the last couple of seasons

interestingly enough though

the last year when I killed kickers Steve was busy doing something else

and my son Josh filmed the kill

this year Steve was busy doing something else

and the outfitter Jamie Hanshew filmed the kill

so at this point I am not sure what value Steve is bringing to the table...
