I LIKE the period hunting camp clothing, weapons and the recreation of camp life.

Red and Black Plaid is all hunter swore for decades and they shot lots of deer. love these vi8ds, showing it like it was and believe me in some areas it hasn't changed much, just newer vehicles.

These videos are great! I appreciate the little glimpse into how our forebears lived their lives, along with simple, educational commentary. Fantastic.

My late husband was an avid hunter. Sometimes he would simply not take the shot due to size of the animal. He was picky and he would go have a dry spell of no deer for years. It never stopped him from hunting. He couldn't go when his health started to fail. You are a young man with lots of good years ahead of you. Take your time and enjoy doing what you love even if you don't take a deer. PS, your wife did an awesome job on that jacket. I love it. Love your videos and the the music you use is awesome. Had an old hand cranked Victrola when I was a kid. Reminds me of that. Some of those songs were hilarious. One song about smoking stands out in my memory.

Back in the 50s and 60s one of the hunters at my Grandfathers camp wore a tie to the camp. It was tradition that one of the other hunters would use their hunting knife to cut off the tie and then nail it to the camp door and use it as a door handle for the duration of the hunt.

Well done' Very much appreciate your efforts in keeping it historic

Outstanding as usual. Reminded me of stories my grandpa use to tell me about same situation here in south central pa. We zero deer then in our area and they all took the model T upstate PA near New York line and hunted. Then over time we got deer back and they stopped going up and hunted our farms clear to present.

Great video Love those boots

My grand dad used to tell me stories of him small game hunting in Oklahoma in the early 1930's. This reminded me of those stories.

I like this video. I have a 35 REM. I have several pairs of riding pants on this style,and riding boots. Here in Menifee co.Ky the last steer killed was in the 1890s.They didn't start stalking deer until the 1940s.After that the 1st season was between 1958 to 1959.It was 5 days from early morning to afternoon. Yo was only one for that season. David Back.

Enjoyed your video! Years ago had an old guy at our deer camp in WV tell us about as a kid in the early 1900s his dad taking them up this mountain to show them a Deer Track that was how rare deer were then. I hunt with a Winchester model 1910 that was made in 1913.

I find these period style videos absolutely wonderful. As someone who enjoys the idea of yesteryear I really find your videos fascinating. It’s obviously harder to film and do what you need to get a deer. Maybe a dedicated camera man would help. Either way, harvest or no harvest it’s good content and information. You definitely don’t need camo. The red plans is just as good to a deer and what was used historically to harvest many animals for many years.

Man this was a totally awesome video !!! Thanks for making and showing it 👍👍

This was like looking back in time although something's haven't changed that much over the years.

That’s the way we should travel like in those days love those old vintage automobiles wish we could go back to those days again

Truly enjoyable, appreciate the history lessons. Thanks for sharing.

very enjoyable video, what hunter hasn’t imagined hunting 100 years ago and what that must have been like.

These hunting videos are my favorite!

These videos are so cool! Love them. They take you back to another time in America.

Would love to see a extravagant camp from the 1920s with tents and some of the accessories that a person would take if they were staying multiple days

Great video, I wouldn't worry too much.

Great video and guests!

I guess I messed up and didn’t send my first comment. Anyway, it was just that I always learn so much from your videos. Great content as always and will recommend it to everyone. I think you should have more recognition for the hard work that you do in bringing the past to life .

That's why it's called _hunting_ and not *getting.* It did sound quite "active" in a scene or two. It's tough when the whole county is out pushing 'em around.

Saw your post on the Facebook group so I came to check you out. I love it.

That looked fun even if you didn't kill anything. That packing iron book is $124! Ill have to borrow your copy.

My grandma on my dad side her grandfather lived and hunted in Georgia and he used a marlin 1895 in 30-30 and all the pictures i have ever seen of him he's wearing overalls even the picture from 1910 and he also really loved fox hunting and my grandpa never minded going fox hunting with him but he just hated how cold it was , which I'm Guess that was because he served in the US army in Korea as a lineman in the Korean war and one few things he ever told My dad about was how cold it was there

A fellow hoosier! love the videos of this style!

G'Day, As always, I enjoyed watching this video. Nice selection of firearms. I like the look of that Remington semi auto. Only ever seen one in a repro Bannerman catalogue. I had a modern Winchester 94 .30/30 in the 70's. Now regret selling it as it would cost a Royal mint to replace it now! I also liked how you showed typical food of the time. I've never made dumplings in camp but have often baked soda bread or "damper" as it is called here in Australia. Since finding your channel I'm keen to put together a civilian impression in the same period. Might even go tweed when I fish with my old split cane fly rod and wicker creel. It all adds to the experience and enjoyment. Thanks again. Cheers, Steve

Very well done gentlemen. I also remember my first cousins grandad used to tell us hunting stories but he always called it gunning.

You are doing a great job doing these videos. I enjoy this time period. Keep up the great work.

You have to keep your eyes open when looking for vintage firearms and be a reloader because even 12 gauge shotguns were not standardized in that era which makes it easier to pick them up these days because the average person is not going to mess with 2 1/2 inch hulls. Unfortunately many just crammed in a highbase shell back in the day and ruined many a shotgun. I am fortunate to have found a Marlin Model 19 in 12 gauge 2 1/2 that spent most of it life in a truck rack or behind a door as it is still solid so I can use it and not be concerned about the bolt ripping my face off.

Gosh what a lovely Model 8, Nathanael!😉

Another fantastic video! Thanks for sharing

Also I would love to see a collaboration with you and Rachel Maksy. She has a great channel more of an art channel but on point with your history timeline.

Love your videos. My grandpa used to tell me when he was young you’d never see a deer and if ya did, you remembered it and he was born in 39. Scary to think they could all be gone again in a heartbeat

Great vid, just a few things... I almost exclusively stillhunt, which is different than tracking, not terribly difficult, and actually requires far less scouting than stand hunting. I'm not terribly quiet, or a good shot, and I quite often take mature bucks while hunting sections of forest that I have previously never set foot in. I wont get to far into the specifics, but just point out that modern hunting litterature sells this method horribly short, often portraying it as an impossible venture. The one point you got right is to move like a deer, in noisy conditions I've actually had bucks charge in to investigate simply by keeping my noise and movements deerlike. Ironic that most hunters think their footsteps will scare deer into the next county, but will not hesitate to blast away on a call or rattle antlers... I've heard deer call a handfull of times, and heard them spar exactly twice. I've heard their footsteps hundreds, if not thousands of times though. Even in noisy conditions, if you can keep your noise deer like... the cringe inducing noise of your steps is actually more natural than a deer call. Just something to keep in mind.

You should try Minnesota above hyw.200. Intensive harvest.

Crazy to think about but in 1915 arkansas there still wasnt electricity and the majority didnt have cars

How old is the cabin you where at.in this video. It pretty cool to see an old cabin like that.

You definitely don’t need camo for most forms of hunting if your any good at it. That is for sure. Even the makers of it will admit that camo is for the hunter and not the game haha.

How was your fire vented? It looks like you have a giant fire for cooking in the middle of a room and no smoke.

Excellent content, and very inspiring. I have an odd, niche question for you :) I'm especially interested in historical gaming. I've got an original "Battle Axe" brand card deck dated 1916 that I recently restored and am planning to have reproduced. I saw the chips you were using in the poker game and I really like their look. Are they modern or period? And do you recall where you got them? Thanks! Enjoying the channel immensely.

The one northern deer hunting technique that I hated and I am glad it is rarely used is the drive. One it is dangerous and there is always one or two that take the shooting position and not rotate. They are usually the person that drank the most the night before. One modern thing for doing a historic hunt is better tires. No fixing flats or glueing cracks. Because of deer feeding here, deer hunting is lousey. The deer don't look for food. They can go to food stations and back in the dark or pre dawn hours.

People probably don't appreciate behind the scenes people like Josh. Try doing it without, you'll learn.

Where did the planted deer come from?

Great video! I love history and hunting
