BUCK DOWN on the First Day! | Montana Deer Camp (EP.1)
Ойын-сауық
Marcus and Jonathan arrive at their 2021 Montana deer camp. Setting up and getting some chores done is first on the menu. This year Marcus invited a few of his friends to join! Montana is unique in the fact that you can hunt rutting deer during the general rifle season. The guys see plenty of deer the first morning and get a crack at an old buck in the late afternoon!

Really like how much you talked about the skyline and having no shot. I've seen some videos where guys just sent it. Hard to control that, but super important. Had to say something, just don't see it often and it's good to see with the influx of new hunters and reminders never hurt anyone. Also good on you guys for targeting the possibly sick deer, very ethical decision. Maybe he was septic?
Marcus is a good dude, i like seeing him host more shows..

Exactly what I thought to myself when the episode started. He is always so kind and excited. Love it.
Great video Marcus you always make it so layers back The camp is great Nothing better then hunting camp with friends God's Blessings to you all and Congratulations on the Buck.
Great video. I love hunting in that kind of terrain. That was a fantastic video of the antelope herd running on the hillside. Wow.
Nothing better than a wall tent camp! That video was good
Great video. I appreciate the deer camp feel, it comes through. Long way to the fall for my deer camp adventures!
Thanks for another early morning episode, see you soon. Great stuff guys!😎
The first time I hunted mulies was in 2007 outside Melstone MT on a bison ranch. We sat on a rocky outcrop, glassing, and identified deer as we saw them by their relationship to "the tree". We could see for miles...one tree.
Man, he stopped at 240 and looked at you guys for a long time. But the buck you got was heavy and mature. Good shooting and quick processing in the field. They taste better after a long pack out
My pup likes to roll and rub on her antler chews, so I always cut the tips off quite aways down, and smooth down the edges. First time I stepped on one, I sure was glad I did!
A lot of fun watching this hunt thanks for sharing
Missed shot opportunities happen to everyone. Wonder how many are due to “dialing” scopes? I’m a big fan of simple scopes and reticles for hunting.

I was thinking the same thing! Most rifles are bore sighted at 100 or 200 yards and a bullet drops 1” or 2” A 240 yard shot could be doable with just the reticle. But either was not shooting gave them more great hunting content. Great job 🤠

Agreed most guns shoot flat enough and most shots happen under 300 yrds that you don’t need all the custom turrets and charts. I had an old guy asked me if I was in a competition or trying to kill the deer/ elk. 1 or 2 inches under 300 won’t make a difference how dead the animal is.

A lot. I use 2.5-10x50 or 3-9x44/50 scopes. 33 years of hunting, have never need a target or tactical scope. I know the MPBR of each caliber/bullet combo I own. A good rangefinder, and boom.
Hey nice buck guys looks like fun time keep going hope ya blast one also thanks for sharing 👍
Appreciate the video's, thank you 👍
Great video great hunt great job thanks for sharing!
Nice hunt and video, boys!
Holy crap, I cant believe he snuck that shot in there at that angle!! Good shot!!
Solid work
Love the respect .. fine young men.
That Jerusalem cricket is a rare and cool find as they are nocturnal underground dwellers. I’m curious, is it common to feel the need to dial in the scope when a small hold higher would be quicker and easy in an urgent situation?

Leupold doesn't offer much for reticles that are designed for holds. Usually if it has dials, there are no vertical stadia markings. At least thats how it was the last few times I have looked at their scopes.
That "termite tarantula" that you found is actually called a Jerusalem Cricket.

I had one walk up my leg last archery season, while sitting on the edge of a field and sage brush canyon…and I about pooped myself
Great hunt and a great deer. Marcus is turning into a great host. That other deer with the buck you shot looked like it was still in velvet. Could it have been an antlered doe? They don't have the inclination to rub the velvet off as bucks do.
Thanks for the videos. Have you thought about doing a show for new hunters to the west on the cost for someone wanting to plan their once in a lifetime hunt.
6:23 ... Wheres the donuts?! (haha it would have fit perfectly to the road hunting joke prior) .. Congrats on a nice deer guys!
Y’all crack me up at the deer you DON’T kill that beg you to. And dang if y’all don’t take forever to take a shot.
Rifle season can't come soon enough haha
Way to get it done
Those magpies were eating ticks
That little buck that was along with the one you shot was a stag buck with Cryptorchidism. I've heard of it but never seen it in person.
......good.....!
What is that big tent that you were using? I really liked it.
Magpies will eat the ticks off Muleys. Seen it several times before in Nodak.
Those Magpie's eat all the ticks on the deer, especially the ticks in their ears.

That was my thought, I have seen that many times. We have deer that stay around our house and in the winter we watch them through the down stairs window. It is sometimes possible to see ticks on the nose and even ears.
Love the video. I am all about being safe and taking your time but more and more I’m seeing in these videos where the Hunter is committed to taking a specific animal and they wait until they are in place to load the firearm then it’s a big rush to load, get a range and get on the animal. Bad things happen when you rush, misses, wounded animals or you totally miss your opportunity . If you’ve made the decision to shoot an animal and are in the final yards of the stalk why isn’t your gun loaded and ready? As you see in this video he missed out on the first deer, you can here the round being chambered as the deer is just standing there. Then he walks off while your trying to rush to get on him. Don’t get me wrong I love what you guys are doing just a question. Stay safe.

It’s due to all the legal requirements for getting hunting content on air. Didn’t Randy fire on an empty chamber last year or the year before? Lol, that would get my heart rate up. Great comments here.

Thanks for the info. Good to know, that makes sense with how restrictive they can be on content. Stay safe.

I have seen enough that I do NOT carry a round in the chamber while hunting. Dropped a ruger M77 on rockslide, sling slid off my shoulder. Bounced and fired. Safety was on when I picked it up. None of us were hurt, unless you count hearing loss. I won't even walk with other guys tthat chamber a round, I don't care how responsible they are.

Totally get not walking around on a loaded chamber especially in rough terrain. My question was more for “I’m on my shooting sticks ready to go and the deer is standing broad side at 100 yards now let’s load the gun” glad everyone in your hunting party was safe I am sure that was extremely scary.
Say, what is that gun sock you have there, and how are you attaching it to your pack?
Thanks for the video. QQ if I may. Beau’s little tent, did he make it himself and if not what brand is it?

I have been wanting to know about Beau’s tent as well. I even went searching on line and didn’t find anything
what kind of tent is the smaller one in this video? Thanks.
Thank you for a good hunt. That bug or insect you found looked like a child beetle, cousin to a scorpion and a vinagaroon I belive. Some day you'll get to hear one scream Yes I'm nuts but the scream is real. Bob
As an avid, lifelong deer hunter, beside owning a handful of Howa 1500s, a couple of Weatherby vanguard's, please let me of what caliber of 1500 you're using. Thanks!
That was a Jerusalem cricket, aka potato bug
I wonder if that buck was letting the magpies pull ticks off of him or something.
Magpie's well land on deer to eat the ticks and other bugs.
The termite tarantula is called a potato bug...

That bug is call a Jerusalem bug.
Cactus buck
Its a Jerusalem Cricket
did anyone else see the small bucks bedded beside the one he shot with full velvet intacted?
Potato bug
Why use a bipod can just shoot standing up w no bipod 🤨
Did you forget to tag the buck before you butchered him?
The reason why the deer got away is you was not ready
Is it just me or is Marcus actually Tobey Maguire?
I'm screaming at the screen, "SHOOT SHOOT" a hundred yard shot standing off hand should be a cinch on mule deer sized target. If you can't hit a paper plate at a 100 yards off hand then put up your guns; and break out the knitting needles!!
20:00 to skip all the filler
My first instinct tells me he might be diseased?
