This is a classic! Remember my very first time watching this video the day it came out. Very successful hunt! Congrats Ron! 7 years later lol.

Can’t get enough of your videos! It’s not like watching those commercialized hunting videos. Great job!

This video proves once again that deer are amazing durable tough creatures.

Hi John, Great videos! I'm from Ontario Canada and I have to say we haven't seen deer in the numbers you are showing in your vids since the late 90's. Great work, really enjoy watching!

I know your buddy rob truitt hes told me alot of stories over the years and now to watch your videos is pretty cool man love to come hunt with ya oneday!!!

Felt like this is one of the best videos it showed tracking and basically a real life hunt not one of those rigged TV shows. You even showed how to make sure you safely hunt. Great video and hunt.

Congrats on the doe and I've always used my lead tip to fill my tags but not since I switched to ballistic tips.....makes me wanna go back to the old lead head haha..great video!

Well done! I hunt in pa as well, glad to see someone else who puts some real effort into hunting and not shooting them off food plots ;)

Loved this video, totally awesome as it happened.

Watched this again to get fired up about 2022. I've been working out the flinches with the air rifle. A cheap and effective way to practice.

much respect to you fellas for hunting to get meat, not trophy horns.

+trapper conway i'm gonna say that there was way too much brush in the way of that shot and just one twig the size of a pencil will deform a high speed bullet and deflect it at a random angle. In movies people shoot through window glass or thread a needle though a chain link fence like it wasn't there. In real life a soft point bullet gets deformed by a twig and changes direction.

Love ur videos 👍🏼

John I love your video's but I have a question for Ron and his "Grim Reaper". I have been deer hunting for the last 20 years in Anticosti Island, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Virginia & PA and I have never seen "See Through" mounts on a rifle that has NO front or rear sights. What's the point? Just curious, TZ

Man I kinda miss PA hunting. But nothing beats west for hunting.

Nice hunt man I got 2 does this year and passed a nice 8 point and in opening day of rifle I missed a small but tall 8 point. Btw I hunt and live in ky

Congratulations and nice hunting!

what were the specs on that hand load. or is it a secret :)

Crazy how that deer ran that far with a 30-06. Same caliber i use and rarely do they run very far at all. He made a good shot too. Sometimes deer are unpredictable i guess!

Wait two more years, that 10 point will be a wall hanger! I have been doing the same thing for the past 5 years, letting younger deer go. It actually helps them grow and mature into massive bucks! My dad killed an 8 point this past year and it was 138 gross score! We have seen bigger deer too! So you guys are doing what's right by letting the young deer go. It'll pay off in the long run!

Nice videos 👌 👍....I most likely would have waited for the buck ....bucks always follow the does ....but I've done the same thing before I get so excited.....

Well done Ron....nice shootin! Another great filmin job John...Thank You!! Where's all your snow???

Gun is easier but bow is a lot more fun. If you don't feel confident with a bow check to see if you can use crossbows in your area. I use crossbow and shotgun but nothing beats the excitement of getting deer close enough for bow.

The cartridge as a pencil is an old trick, but the instructions do say to use a ballpoint pen.

I've been watching your videos for a little over a year now, and i was wondering if you could give any advice on rifle selection. I shot my first deer about 2 years ago now, it was a pretty nice spike buck, anyways i shot it with my 30-30. I was wondering if a .270, .308, or any other rifle might serve me better.

@pauls4460

+secretman920 Congratulations on your first deer! Your 30-30 is more than adequate out to 150 yards or so. If you don't shoot any further than that, I'd recommend staying with that firearm. Use the savings to buy more ammo to practice with. Beware the man with one gun, he knows it well. Best of luck this fall.

I agree with you, some does are pretty tough. My dad hit a doe once and she got back up. Then I walked up on her and she Jumped. Then dad hit her on the Run with a shotgun slug in the neck and she ran another 100 yards and the blood trail was 2 foot wide. Now I hunt in Iowa our Shotgun Season just started last week and First season is buck only for certain county's and we so happen to be in one of those county's lol.Seeing 4 good bucks all wall hangers but they aren't giving us good shots. anyway this happened a couple years ago

yall ready for PA 2016 archery Saturday +LeatherwoodOutdoors

nice buck and a dow.

last deer season I was walking on a road (not a public road it was on my neighbors property)about 7:30 in the morning and jumped a huge 12 point buck... never saw him again😠

Hey John I know this is a old video but if you see this comment. That buck that was with Ron’s doe do you think that could be the buck you shot with the 30-40 Krag?

How many deer are you permitted to shoot in PA?

Shaeffer,smoker,Trevor,toth, haven't seen them where they at? Plus how do you guys know each other? Doesn't seem like you alm live by each other. A cool video would be how you all met.

Well, Shaffer just got married during the archery season. Toth moved a few hours away so we dont get to see him but only on weekends when he comes home. We all went to the same highschool. Not all in the same grade though. Now with some with us getting engaged, married, having kids, moving, its a bit harder to keep it going like years past. Thought about doing a video on how this all started but wasnt sure if it was time yet to make that video or not.

With the 30-06 they bleed like crazy and run a little, run 40 yds no blood and die or they just get heaped up

John if the public demands it. You don't have a option. It would be cool to hear stories of young leathers of years back. It could be your off season project. Do it in a series. Part one part 2 kinda thing so it would be easier to do on smaller segments. It would also give you more time to tie other ends.

nice job. I prefer a doe for meat which is mostly why I hunt but a nice buck is majestically wonderful too take as well but a doe is generally healthier but meat is meat. I've used 30-06 for years until I discovered the 25-06 rem and I never looked back using a 100 grain Barnes in 25-06 and they actually drop in there tracks I've had it for 4 years now and every year every deer has drop in there tracks .they would run off with my 30-06 spr. I used 150 gr- 180gr and even some 220 gr.Yeah ! but they would still run 40plus yards and I hunt wma between two hunting clubs and private land and 40 yards was often too far then anyways and the land owners would not let you get your deer so it was important too stop them were they stood but in any case that's a good thing .

archery starts in october

At what point do you shoot a 4 year old 120 class buck? You let all these bucks pass. And not all are going to get bigger than what they are. The one you did a sneak on in archery years past was huge. He was a mature buck. You can tell if a buck has potential. But some of these bucks you pass on aren't really going to get all that much bigger. They are already mature. The bucks you past last year were 3 now 4 years old. They are what they are (most of them)

@Leatherwoodoutdoors

9 жыл бұрын

The second you see him!. But the buck in the video was only a 2 1/2 year old 120 class buck so he gets two more years to add more meat on his bones. All the deer I usually film are 2 1/2 years old and are not even half way to their prime. Out of 14 years of hunting here and passing deer up only one 4 1/2 year old buck has been killed. All the other big ones were 3 1/2 which includes a 160 class buck!. Every thing else was 2 1/2 or younger. So that means they get shot off almost every year before they get to be mature. The one I did a sneak on in an older video was 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 and thats by judging his body shape.

If it makes you alittle side money then its a bonus. I would be doing this no matter if it made money or not. I didnt do this to try and make money at it.
