It certainly does! It really is Gods country up there! We have a lot of fun every year. Last years deer camp should drop in September sometime. That’s too bad your camp is no longer, hopefully one day you can get back there and give it a go again. Happy hunting! -Jerry

I live in Gwinn. There are many nice places to set up on state land to deer hunt. 🦌

@@sonjaorleans8850 that's awesome

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, good luck this season

I use to hunt the Iron River area over by the Sunset lake/ paint river area many years ago. We use to do really well there. It’s a beautiful area and big woods. Lol yeah I couldn’t believe it when he came walking by, right in the middle of no where haha. Love your videos as well. We’re having a computer issue currently and are looking at posting some in January when we get our new computer so stay tuned for more episodes

Glad you enjoyed! More to come this year

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah we use to have an 18x52’ tent and that stove really helped keep it warm. We upgraded tents last year and kept the wood stove. It sure was nice and hot

Yeah I have a pack of 5 running around right now that are there daily. Yeah I wasn’t real thrilled with that guy, especially being in the middle of no where, or so I thought. He actually ended up setting up about 70 yards away trying to cut me off. As soon as I shot he came out looked at the deer shook his head and kept walking. No congratulations, nothing. Luckily he hasn’t been back since but that’s the way it goes sometimes

Richard Russ - Glad you enjoyed it! We also have last years deer camps video up if you have not viewed that as well. Hopefully in the future you can see what our great state has to offer. Good luck and thanks for your support!

You would love hunting on northern Michigan it's great

Glad you enjoyed! We’re currently working on this years videos. This years deer camp video is going to be our best and longest yet!

Thank you I appreciate it! I actually went hunting in WV this year for the first time for bear. There are two videos we made similar to this one. Can’t wait to get back there

@@DroptineRidge i will have to check them out, what county were you in? I had a bear encounter this year while deer hunting WV, its in episode 16 of my show. Calhoun County for us.

@@SimanBrothersOutdoors - We were in a few different counties in WV but we were close to Charleston. I’ll have to check that episode out

campbenny - Sure is! Have enjoyed your videos as well!

Paul Dombrowski - That can certainly make for some tough hunting! I can remember about 20 years ago getting 18” over night in the Iron River area. Definitely made things a lot tougher. Hopefully Mother Nature will be kind to the deer this year. Good luck

😂😂love it!

Joseph Mackenzie - Glad you enjoyed the video! Those back straps sure were tasty. Can’t wait to get back to the Yoop

Mitch & Mike Wolgast - Thank you! Glad you guys enjoyed it

Dan Halpin - Absolutely, we look forward to it every year! Good luck to you and your camp this year

Glad you enjoyed it! We also have the 2018 UP Deer camp video out.

Welcome back! Looking forward to another Deer Camp video for this year! Heading up to camp in late October to scout

@@DroptineRidge We worked on stuff last weekend and bow season is open now so we will be going and scouting pretty regularly now! Some of the folks mad sure all trails were clear and open last weekend

Jason Higgins -Congratulations on the birth of your son! Hope you guys have a great season and a fun deer camp! Thanks for watching

Melvin Dunn - I did not, I usually see more red squirrels. Thank you for the comment and your support!

Glad you enjoyed!

Buck and Slug Reloaders - Thank you! In the UP there is a 3points on one side restriction in place for our tags. Some guys pass younger deer, some don’t. It all depends on how their season is going and how low their freezer is. In the past we did really well shooting older deer up there, however those day have come and gone. To be honest, oddly enough things have gone down hill for our camp since they put the 3pts on a side in place.

Thats the problem here in michigan too many of these guys shooting young bucks.

Kirby Wiseman - Thank you

It’s very very thick in there so it is challenging. But the UP is where I cut my teeth when it comes to tracking and still hunting. Thanks for the watch and happy hunting

Reel'n & Deer'n Outdoors - Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck this season!

loretta hawley - still hunting absolutely is. In fact I use to hunt that way many many years ago. Good luck to you as well

Yea the shower is actually very hot. I highly recommend one for anyone who doesn’t have one at camp

Thank you! Hope your blind works out for you this year. Good luck

Chad Sanders - we only had a couple ; ). Had a blast up there this year, glad you enjoyed it!

@The Outdoors with Lumberjack - Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy our videos. We will be dropping more at the end of the month. As for the camera we use I use a Sony AX53 and my brother uses the Sony AX33. Both are great cameras, if you have time you can view our all of our videos and I have a video on everything we use from cameras to editing. Thanks again for watching and good luck with the camera search

@@DroptineRidge thanks for the response and I'll be keeping an eye out!

Great question! We are out of Michigan where we have a ton of state land that is open to public hunting. Not sure what state you are located in but you can purchase the app OnX Maps and it will give you all the available public land areas in your state. The other option would be to contact your local DNR and they can also pin point you on land to hunt. Hope this helps and good luck!

@@DroptineRidge I’m originally from CA but moved to Detroit for school this past summer, briefly learned rifle basics and plan to start recreational shooting this coming spring! And thanks for the response I’ll be sure to check this out 👍🏻

fun...not seeing deer on opening day is t fun trying doing that since 2003!!! think it's fun yet???

@@kevinaalberts9251 - Have you tried moving to a different piece of public ground? Being mobile and moving around has helped with our success. Sure there is trial and error but the state has a lot to offer and there’s a lot of good public grounds throughout the state.

@@DroptineRidge do you have to reserve land? I’m guessing not? Can out of staters just get a Michigan license? I returned to NC from the UP today, and I will be going back for next years Gun season. Can’t believe how short it is up there!

finpainter1 - Glad you enjoyed it!

I use a .308 Ruger

Unfortunately the wolf walked away and the bucks were not big enough for that area as there are some real big ones in that area

We’re around that area 😏. Beautiful country up that way!

@@DroptineRidge sure is! I was born on the other side of the border in Marinette but I still do have relatives that live in Menominee and I grew up camping on the Cedar River up there. I miss it, living down in Southern Wisconsin now.

@@fishlovme - The halfway bar and grill is a pretty good hang out area too! Hopefully you’ll make it back that way this hunting season.

Chris Williams -Menominee

Seems like an action filled hunt.

Mike Mikovsky - I had to apply for a doe tag for this area.

Love the UP and Deer Camp! Good luck this fall

Bryan Kelly Baker - The wolves definitely put a hurting on the deer up there! Hoping they open a season back up like they did a few years ago

A sighting of one wolf!?? Give me a fucking break, maybe youve gotten use to a deer population that was way overpopulated? Car/deer accidents are still killing more deer in the UP AND Wisconsin.

That and 500,000 hunters. Highest hunter pressure state in the nation - Michigan.

No we can’t in Michigan. I really wish we could though, there definitely needs to be a season

and the hilarity of him walking around at 9 a.m. who knows what goes on in some guys brains...

We’ve been seeing wolves more and more frequently up there, a little more than we’d like. Hopefully one day we’ll have a wolf hunt again

pardon you i think the wolves were there way before humans.

Haha #s.s.s and that maybe but they put exstemly high about of stress on the deer herd and all other life. Not to mention they are now over populated to the point of packs of 10 or more and going after peoples dogs and farmers cattle. Don't cry over an animal that could kill you. Unless you live there you don't have a clue what the locals deal with on a day by day basis

My point is all animals belong where their habit is not for humans to just destroy it and if they are having that big of a problem have the wolves have a hunt and take some out.

@@craigmarble8956 I understand you're thought process a little bit and we did try to have a hurt like a lottery to raise money and only allow some wolves to be taken but the tree huggers cried and our governor shut it down. So they are going crazy feeding on everything and a lot of times they do it just for sport.

While I understand that the UP might not have a healthy population all over, where we are at we have a healthy doe population. And although this video is a few years old, we still are maintaining that healthy doe population in our area.

Yeah I wasn’t thrilled that he did that, that’s for sure. Your incident sounds pretty serious and scary! I definitely would of would of called law enforcement. Glad that nothing else happened to you that day and you are able to hunt today.

@@DroptineRidge being in the middle of no were several miles from a road no way of contacting anyone... before most of us had cell phones thats easy to say but when your in that position i didnt ask his name or get identification. hindsight is 20-20 i have heard of this happening alot, even back home were you are at. I have learned out west that most fellow hunters are not your friend and to never turn my back without someone else to watch it and never hunt alone.

Most people don’t want to see a head shot and 99.9% of hunters are going to take the exact same shot I did. I butcher my own deer and had a ton of great tasting jerky from her. Good luck hunting

Glad you enjoyed it! Many more to come

Andy Parstino - That shower works wonders! It can get very very hot even when it is super cold out. It’s instant too, so we never have to worry about it heating up.
