I love your style of hunting video. No obnoxious background music, just the sounds of the woods. Well done!

Dude! I have never been that excited about a hunt I wasn’t involved in! I loved every second! Well done!

Eating the tenderloin of a deer that you just harvested is one of the greatest joys of living a life well lived. Fortunately, I have had the privelege of experiencing this a few times. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great vid, as usual.

Content is always enjoyable (woodsman, traditional archer, ethical hunter, character)... and your artistry is always so beautiful (filmmaking/editing/storytelling)... congrats, thanks for sharing, happy new year!

Wow, thanks so much!

this is the real bow hunting since the beginning of human civilization.

When you come from a country where it's illegal to bow hunt, these videos are just brilliant to watch. I feel like I'm there 😊

I must admit I’m envious of you guys. I’m in the U.K. where we can’t really do much of the kind of things in this video and it’s my idea of heaven. In recent years I’ve become drawn to (possibly obsessed with) that lifestyle.

Great hunt Clay. Nice to see some Midwest Whitetail tactics mixed with Western. Only recently have traditional bowhunters in this area started using loadshelfs and packing out Whitetails. In Mo they can get big and require two packs but its still more efficient then dragging. Treestands in the pines would be fun...congrats on the tenderloin!! Good job.

Man, Clay, 10 days is a LONG hunting trip under cold and rugged conditions. Yet, I'm still jealous. Remember my offer to hand you off a good black locust stave if you ever come through Utah. Springbuck.

Miss the mountains, have to get to them again soon! appreciate the vid!

this is the for sure one of the coolest things iv ever seen

Great video and commentary as always Clay. Thanks for bringing us along!

Well Clay I have to say, you have managed to capture on video what we dream about all year! That video was as satisfying as cooking a tenderloin on a campfire! Thanks for sharing your adventures sir!

This video captures what real hunting and woodsmanship are so well

That's what it's all about man. Glad the pup came back! GREAT VIDEO Clay

Love the fire starting technique, praying for snow seems weird for the rookies amongst us. Hoping for some dry or just very cold weather here in the UK 🇬🇧 so I can drive my car to within a few hundred yards of my high seat / tree stand rifle hunt. 😂. My 64 years is really no excuse just very different geography. Amazed that you are able to film and hunt so well. As always, thanks for sharing.

Dang I never get tired of watching your stuff man! That was beautifully done.

There's no better way to end the year than this. I hope I can experience this at least once in my life. Thanks for bringing us along!

My brother Jesus Christ bless you and your family Happy New Year. Hugs from Amazonas Brazil

Ohhhh you’ll be catching hell from someone about how you put out that fire! 😀 That’s the easiest retrieve I’ve ever seen. Happy eating and a happy new year Clay!

Same.

I had a trip last winter. My friend was hiking with me to show me an area i could set up... hes got a beautiful husky. It was a 2 mile hike across questionable ice. And i think his dog recognized that... or maybe she just did not like the slush on her paws. But she ran off right after we hit the ice. It was scary and i was worried the whole week i was out there. But when i got back... it was just like i said... "she will probably be waiting at the truck for you when you get back. And sure enough... she was. Dogs are kind of smart that way. She remembered where we parked and she went right back. But there were cayotes out there. Luckily bears were hibernating. But he was really worried the cayotes would get her. But yea. I feel for your buddy. Its nerve wracking not knowing. Im glad your buddys pup showed back up.

As one who's just 4 weeksinto hip joint replacement recovery, makes me wince to see ya shoulder that pack for return trip to camp! Congrats on the hunt and, hopefully, all the ones in your future.

Dude, you're John Smoltz. Loved you on the Braves in the 90's.

Love it. And your old truck always puts a smile on my face.

Very inspirational Clay! I enjoy watching your content.

Happy new year!

Good job!!!

I watched your videos hunting elk with a flintlock. It's good to see some more people keep tradition alive.

Great tactic to utilize the tree stand for the late season hunts. I've been wondering about packing a tree stand up the mountain for the late season rut hunt here in southern Idaho. It's tough to stalk in on the crunchy snow. Great video!

your a beast. I bet your parents are very proud of you and your wife and kids. The world needs more clays.

Excellent hunt Clay and congratulations on a real nice doe. Happy New Year and wishing you and your family an even better 2024. Take care Nate

I've been a fan since "Alone", hope to know 10% of what Clay knows one day :)

That's an awesome video as usual! That's the real deal! A lot of fun to watch! Happy New Year!

Great video happy new year

Yep, never had that happen! I could've used a little salt on that tender, but it looked delicious

lol. Right into ur tree!That was awesome

Just go up into the high country lol. Meet them where they are.

Outstanding, in every way!

No other content out there like what Clay is doing wow

Thank you for a great video

What a shot!

Crazy kill and track job! 😂

Clay, As you’re filming the deer, moving in front of the camera with ease, I think that we all stopped moving, including our eyeballs know that we might even scare off the deer. Geez, watching your videos take a lot out of us too. Best of luck… for snow. Skillet
