Everything about this one was absolutely awesome and why I chomp at the bit to see your videos. Hands down one of the best channels out there brotha. The footage was as good as it gets with scenery like that too. Thanks for putting these together.

What a target rich environment, I can only dream of seeing that many deer. My trigger finger is twitching, my will power would have failed. Thanks for sharing, good stuff.

The spot when you were on the ground and that buck came in i thought he was going to bed down in that thicket looked like he was in your lap!! Amazing footage

Good video again Mr. 40 years ago I used to rifle hunt big timber in Arkansas back when the big timber companies didn't mind hunters there at all. Before I really got back into archery. Taking all the legal game was a no-brainer with the rifle. Used iron sights because the shots were close and fast usually. 99% of my hunting is with a bow for many years now. I enjoy your style and the videos. You're helping a lot of newbies get some good basic information. 👍👍🏹🐗🦌

That's 1 of the better videos where nothing gets shot. If u have that much activity in October & u leave it clean it's only going to get better. Sorry Sam missed out on the peak movement days.

Glad to see you posting again. I have watched your videos for a long long time and taken so much knowledge from your channel. Thanks for everything!

Insane amount of bucks right there, would have been difficult for me to pass a couple of them.

You are the reason I saddle hunt now hated it at first learned a ton rappel down now. Eastern outdoors helped a lot! You Shane Simpson and shawns outdoors are my favorite!

As usual - top quality content. You really capture the excitement of the rut with this video. That's hard to do. Really missed seeing you on here, but it was worth the wait. Hope we keep seeing more.

Deer Hunting Reality Show This is one of the best deer hunting videos I've seen. The presentation from you speaking through the video quality is what, I believe, the majority of deer hunter's experience from the East Coast to the Mississippi River. Watching your video took me back to last week in my woods. Thank You

Thanks! Lots to learn from your videos. I tried your one-stick climbing method with success this year.

Glad to see you are back in the woods! We missed you! Great footage as usual!

Great video as always. That's a pretty good spot you found! Good luck for the rest of the season

This IS the most "realistic" deer hu ting video I have ever watched !

So glad to see you guys again. Ghillie up and face paint kids! Ghillies allow way more movement on the ground! Great footage. The licking branch is a spot that will be historic the rest of your days. You e found the greatest deer sign of all. That can be hunted anytime any phase of the rut. I hope you camera ed it . The cool thing is the biggest of the whole area knows about it as does every other deer in the woods. So cool!!!!!! Great video! Keep them coming! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cool footage. Reminds me of the terrain I used to hunt. Those deer learn to survive where guys can’t hang stands! Thanks for sharing

Lots of the locals in that area like to claim “rights” Had one tell me that I should check in down the road, lol. Dude waited for me to come out one afternoon… Across the road, had a guy follow me in with his bird dog and a shotgun one evening, shooting… Some people just don’t play nice

Good to see you back at it Garrett

Enjoyed the video. Appreciate your suggestions and tactics for big woods public land hunters. TY

Unbelievable photography 👌. Looking forward to more content 👏

Fantastic footage. Hanging out in that thick cover all day takes discipline and confidence. Good stuff!

Wow, you were way up north, cool to see the elk.

Great footage! Real deal. I hate it for you on your big buck, but I've been there too. It is so hard to get an opportunity on pressured ground, sometimes even harder to get a clean shot. But, that is the blessing/curse of archery hunting mature deer. Keep up the good work. I have used several of your how to videos on setting up my gear - super helpful. Thanks for all you do!

Great video! Glad to see you and sam back!

Great set, thanks for sharing

Great video, amazing up close encounters.

Just watched your video and I have to say it was awesome you were literally covered up in deer that one day. It was like you were ringing a dinner bell the way the bucks were just running in on you.. Great stuff

Yep you pasted up some good ones there bud. Hope you get the opportunity at another 10 point.

Love your channel, great footage and thanks for the hard word for our entertainment!

Awesome footage so cool to see. Thank you for the content keep up the great work.

Good to see you back! Awesome rut footage.

Great footage Garrett! Good action and excitement. Keep at it bro.

Glad to see your back at it !

I learn a lot from your videos! love your filming style! You give me the confidence to self film from the ground when I can't find a tree for my saddle.

You found one heck of a honey hole! Exciting video! Thanks for sharing!

Nice show! Well Done! Just found it, I'll be looking for more, Great job.

Wow! What a great video and man, you know deer!!! Great stuff as always!!

Excellent video, great job.

I was just searching for you last night because I hadn't seen any new videos for a while. Glad to see new content from you. I was worried that you had retired.

A lot of great footage. One of those bucks I couldn't pass up.

I always enjoy your content and wish there was more!

You are right in them Garrett. Some darn nice ones too.

Awesome video buddy keep up the great work!

Great footage! It's always amazing how all the bucks work the same licking branch. I would of had a hard time passing on 1 or 2 of them bucks. They will be nice next year though if they survive. Good job getting so close to them without getting busted!👍

That was more deer than I've seen all season. Looked pretty fun!

Nice seeing the elk doing good.... I practice my calling in the Clam lake area since it's only an hour away from me.... I have UCKs in my back 40 that always follow my trail when I go back there. I don't feed them or anything so, they're not used to me in that sense.... But they follow me nearly to my yards edge. Crazy

Awesome sit! You had the wind, & your scent control must have been good. Great job broski!

Awesome experience and video! I had one walk in behind me on my scent trail on Halloween. Took me so off guard. Busted me at 10 yards

I'm not sure what you were looking for to pass up some of those bucks! But thanks for sharing the content. Love it!

Great footage. Always enjoy

Great video. I also bowhunt Northern WI public, though a bit east of you, and I know how tough it can be. Passing up that 2.5 year old 8 couldn't have been easy. We need more hunters willing to do this to improve the age class of the bucks. Good luck this fall!

Can’t wait to see this!

That's some great action & footage.

Love your videos. A purest you are....

Can’t wait for the next upload!

I have to say this is some of the best whitetail footage on youtube

great footage and nice spot !!!!

Thanks for sharing. I would have shot that 8 pointer you had close. Wish Sam was with you on that one. God bless you guys

Thanks for the update Garrett! Hi Sam. Been getting on some good bucks. Good luck

Great videography. You must really work with the deer to get their choreography down so well. Excellent and exciting footage. Good luck with the remainder of your season.

that was really cool seeing that bull and cow elk

Great footage, stay after them.

Way to go Sam. As many deer that you two see you will find a better one.

Welcome back.

Great footage

Nice job guys! Thanks

Awesome video 👍

Great camera work and editing!

See more deer in 1 day than i see in a whole season in PA.

Good action on your hunts!

Great spot ya have there. You saw more deer in 1 day than I saw 6 days shotgun hunting in Ilinoos. Was terrible this year.

Your skills are impressive, Obi Wan!

Keep those coming guys

Thanks for sharing your hunts. I thoroughly enjoy them and learn a lot from each of them. Continue creating great videos and content!

Awesome video

Guys.. stay safe, OK 👍 it's kind of chilled.

Thorallly enjoyed the video. When that young 8 point came trotting in under you did he grunt at all? I thought I heard him grunt. Love the footage of the young 8 making a scrape then not long after that spike buck working the same scrape. Good stuff!

Amazed on how you are covered in nice deer and...don't shoot any! Wow!

You saw some decent size bucks, and I’m glad you didn’t last up an 8 point to tag a spike.

Nice footage

Camo is like fishing lures. They only have to catch the fisherman. My standing joke is that I bought the perfect camo once. I put it in the closet and was never able to find it again.

One of the reasons I enjoy your hunts is the reverence you pay to the flintlock and the deer. I'm tired of watching people with precision scope harvest an animal and proceed to loud "high fives" and "that's what I'm talking about". Merry Christmas!

Great share,,, I'm assuming these are your rut hunts all rolled into one...Dating them would be nice just to drive in our heads when the best times are. Was that a Wisconsin elk ? It's a busy time. Stay out hunted. Edit in the winter. We still will enjoy. More time to watch for us out hunting.. thanks for keeping it real . Good luck to Sam and yourself.

Cool video man! Bummer u couldn't shoot the dandy!!

Great footage! That one buck near licking branch sure looked like a good one? Wasn't some footage of a cow elk? What state? Wisc or MN? Esp for elk pic? Thx

Thanks for sharing. Are you still using the Ezy V sight. If so how is it in low light situations? Thanks again

Exciting man

This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen. Loved that evening hunt. It’s like all the bucks were “checking in” for the day by visiting that licking branch. Assuming there was a scrape there too?

@DIYSportsman

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Sometimes they've heavily paw away the fresh leaves, but many deer just hit the licking branch. Some just go downwind to scent check the scrape from a distance too

Would like to see an update on your climbing method. Currently I’m using wild edge with knaider swaider aiders but contemplating switching/making set of sticks.

May have a scammer commenting on your pages my friend. Hope you were able to get after some turkeys this season. Happy Easter to you and your family!

nothing better than hunting on the ground

Such a solid video! I'm sure there was a TON of work that went into picking those few prime locations. Any chance you're willing to say what date you had the buck parade on? Did you have a camera in that location and if so was that just the magic day or was it a consistent spot? The scrape and licking branch looked somewhat unassuming, and something most guys wouldn't take a second look at.

@DIYSportsman

Oct 31 was one of the better days I believe. Some of that footage was across multiple sits in the same tree. I had a camera in thar area and it's good sort of throughout that time period but sporadic in terms of individual bucks. I find a lot of those scrape areas just by finding a licking branch in a good area even if the ground isn't pawed up and they can be really good.

Love your videos, you’ve helped me a lot with all aspects of hunting (climbing, scouting, & patience). I was wondering what you use to hold your bow while ground hunting? Thanks Stay Safe.

@DIYSportsman

2 жыл бұрын

I have used a number of things. I have used the limb legs from mathews. I've used a normal hys strap or bow hook if I've got a tree or sapling in front of me. If on a stool, I often will just lay the bow on my lap. Ideally, it can be positioned in front of your face to where you can raise your hand up, and draw back with as minimal movement or your body and the bow as possible, so holding the bow vertical does tend to make more sense.

V3 31" matthews? Same bow...nice!

Good spot yu have 😮

If your the one videoing great job, like the ground levels best!

Awesome hunts with a lot of action! What camera/lens are you using? And do you use the same gear for self filming? I know self filming with a DSLR can be tricky.

@DIYSportsman

I have been filming with the Sony A7sIII and a Tamron 28-200 lens. It's definitely not as user friendly for self filming. The low light is pretty good, as is the quality as long as you hit the focus right. I also use an Insta360 One X2 for some of the 2nd angle shots. I used the DJI pocket 2 for some clips in the first hunt.

I like your videos. Wish you would share approximately where you hunt and the month/day to make it more interesting.

I've been hunting from the ground for 24 years since I fell breaking my back. I've had a big nine point about 5 feet from me while I hid behind a cedar tree. He actually seen my boots under the tree. Had no chance to draw my bow.

Nice deer action
