@@ss0073 I agree. Everyone’s experiences at camp are different. It’s fun to learn what others do. Deer hunting at our camp is fun and it’s the reason it brings all of us together. But shooting a deer isn’t the priority, it’s a bonus. Spending time with family and friends is first and foremost .

@@michaelrihel9584 TY so much! I try and keep my videos simple and real. I enjoy hunting and photography so it doesn’t feel like work. It’s just what I do. Retirement is coming soon so I am hoping that this hobby will keep me from getting bored. Excited for the future as well because I am planning more out of state hunts. I may get my ass kicked but I look forward to the challenge and new experiences. Good luck this fall. It is coming soon! 🦌

@@brettarbes7189 Making new memories and reliving the old ones. You can’t beat it!

@@mikeiannazzo494 there was not anything green growing. Someone else told me they thought it could have been road salts deposited over time. It is just downstream from a culvert that runs under a country road.

@@PatrickCarroll-d1y plenty of nice bucks if you can find places they feel safe after bear season

I am really lucky to have my cousins include me in their hunting camp traditions. So happy that you enjoyed the video and stories. I am so fortunate to live right on the NY - PA border and get to hunt both states on a daily basis. If you only hunt your home state its difficult to realize how wildlife populations are managed so differently.

@@joshmistovich7331 Just amazing how much public land there is to hunt in this area.

Great area

I do my best. Some are long form and some are short form. I just video what I do in the year of scouting, hunting and enjoying the outdoors.

@@user-ci4jf3rm1v I usually replace the double stick tape with new tape 2-3 times per year. Still working great. 😊

Nicee. Thanks for the fast reply. Which of yours videos are filmed with this set?

@@user-ci4jf3rm1v “9 Point Buck Won’t Leave Hot Doe” is the most recent, but I used this Canon Vixia for all of my in stand hunting shots. I also use a combination of my GoPro and iPhone for close shots. I used this video camera for every hunting video from a tree stand from Seasons 1-3.

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Nice. Thank you. Have a great hunts.

@@user-ci4jf3rm1v You as well 🦌

@@raymondburtner7758 always fun even if you here the same old stories every year. 🤣😂

@@bearhunterjay I am new to the area although I have hunted other places in PA for years. Amazing how many guys gets I ran into the opening day of gun after COVID. It was like a net of orange and you couldn’t even get out of the woods in daylight without running into someone. I have focused lately in areas I don’t see hunters, close or far. Tough to find though

So beautiful and wild

@@user-sl4xp3ji1n It’s amazing how the stories never get old at camp. 🏕️

@@casualobserver77 I was early in my filming when I shot this deer. As I have continued to make videos I have taken constructive criticism from people like yourself and use more natural sounds in my videos now. Not as much, if any music or quiet in the background. TY for your feed back. I hope that you have a great day and good luck this fall. 🦌

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 its all 2F. Just curious. I hunt Sheffield area.

@@jeffzankel6846 Marionsville area. Camp is such an embedded tradition in PA. I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. 🤓🦌

@@mikeiannazzo494 I do agree. it is sad as we see it as humans. To wild animals it is their daily focus. Survival!

@@hfbpa8896 I am on the way back from Ohio right now. Just put out a few cell cameras for a Fall hunting trip. This is my third year scouting and hunting public land in NY. The first year I was clueless. Just tried to be a sponge and watch KZfaq and read as much as possible. Just finding deer was difficult, not to mention finding a tree stand up in March almost every spot I escouted. I scored a super nice buck my second year but got really lucky on my shot and learned what not to do again. I would have hated to wound a mature buck. I continue learn something new every time I am in the woods. My third year I relied way too much on scrapes and felt like I went backwards. This year I am taking all I learned and focusing on overlooked areas, community scrapes near thick areas and destination food sources. This fall will tell me if I am on the right track. Start with escouting public property less than an hour drive from your house. I put about 200-300 miles on my boots scouting each year. Mostly late winter and early spring after the snow melts when fall sign is easier to find. Then put out trail cameras and let them tell you where to hunt. It’s a lot of work, but I am an empty nester. I love to hike and try to interpret deer sign and spend at least one day a week all year long in the woods walking 6-8 miles. I am here to help you out however I can. Curt

@@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88 I had a Mama Bear with 3 cubs earlier in the year bathing but I only had it on photo.

@@NorthMissouriOutdoors Always fun to go back and look at your trail cam pics for the year. Reminds you what opportunities are available for next year

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 your definitely right on that one know l go back and look at what I got around here and see how much they have grown intel they get old enough to hunt and see what l have every year

@@NorthMissouriOutdoors we are usually able to follow a few each year on the farm I hunt. Public land in NYS is an entirely different story because of Heavy pressure. When I find a mature buck on camera I assume he is there because there isn’t as much pressure. I dig deep to understand the habitat Feb.-April, get cameras out for the summer and hope I did enough work to find some daylight pictures of a mature buck on Public land. I have cashed in 1 of 3 years but it is super tough and I am learning more every day. The challenge is addicting!

@@kirkkent7208 very fortunate. It was even cooler when I decided to pass on him and just be a spectator

@@epicadventureswithbellaand3574 great memories at camp always. I usually end up at camp only opening weekend now that I have started hunting 3-4 states per year. Definitely be in touch once November rolls around. I have met so many good people so far through my KZfaq journeys. 🤓🦌

Do you mean I move around too much in the stand or I bounce around too many places? I appreciate the constructive criticism. Learning from each other helps us all to become better hunters

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 yes in my forty years of bow hunting I’ve learned that during the rut stay in the same tree daylight to dark it can happen any time I’ve killed most of my nice bucks between 10 and 2 .

@@dougyoak9078I appreciate the advice a ton. I definitely do that more in NY and also when I go to Ohio. Great observation though. The 3 years I have hunted in PA I have only done day sits a few times. I will try to focus on that more this year in PA in and around the rut. Have a great day!

Yeah. I do that with the metal cases for my Tactacam cell cameras.

I like to use the T-Rex camo duct tape from Amazon

Super GD lucky! I know it for sure and learned a ton to make more Informed, ethical decisions in future hunts.

I’m psyched to get a bed built in there and try it out in Ohio this November

I need the real shit (TRUCK CAP) for my hunt in Kansas so when I am sleeping the 40 mph winds don't blow the "canopy" off. 🤣

Very fortunate to have a place to hunt with so many deer

It’s funny. The more I do this the less music I add to videos

Very fortunate hunting the farm. Totally different from my Public land hunting

TY. Great to see you as well.

You got to be psyched about that. We are still almost 4 miles this away. When do your buck hard horn in FLA?

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 oh you know I am brother. Hard horn, ahh in South Florida in the coming month id say

@@ADVENTURESOFBZ 4 months away. Dam big thumbs! 🤣 so weird how different it is North to South.

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 huuuge difference. And we hunt until almost march!!! Almost 9 months of deer hunting

It’s a tough place to sit. Does are always there and even though there is close bedding I only see big bucks at night or during the rut. It’s a wide line of trees in the middle of 2 ag. fields and bucks don’t like to be there during the day. I thought it would transition bucks all day during the rut but buck movement is really unpredictable there. Still, I have seen some good bucks there. Just haven’t connected YET!

TY Always fun planning ways to prep for deer season. Hard work usually does pay off.

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 hard work does pay off in the end

Those memories you carry with you are 3-fold. The guys that were your mentors that you idolized. Your peers that you grew up with in the same generation and you constantly are picking on each other, and the next generation that you are teaching the importance of respect, ethics and reminding how important these experiences are. Don’t ever take them for granted.

I am so fortunate to have great friends that have allowed me to hunt and create memories with them on their farm for 30+ years

TY. Doesn’t always work out that well, but we will take it when we can. I just ate venison stir fry last night and we are having venison spiedies tomorrow night. Doe taste just as good as buck!!!

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 most of the time, doe tastes better than buck. A nice buck is the sportsman's goal, being harder to bag but, doe is also a great achievement and awesome table fare.

Dam straight. Lots of memories and always the fun and excitement of the next season.

We talked about how much fun it was to put on drives, shoot the shit all day, and have some beers. Especially after sitting in stands and stalking by our selves all year!!! Making Stories and memories with your buddies is awesome!
