Way to git-r-done

Lol it's easy to convert??? but it took 20 years??? gtfoh

Love how you explain the wind and how the deer will use that!!! Great video!!

Thanks for the information. Do you think it is to late to put up any more stands?

I have a mobile set up for rut hunts on my property, going to try that this year vs fixed locations.

Nice vid, do you do tank waterholes?

Great job Sam. Now you have to get a buck to do the same.

She didn't hardly move! Crazy the difference when there is and isn't a breeze/wind. Congratulations!

Congrats on your second doe down

Thanks Sam for sharing your hunts. I was glad to hear that you are willing to make a high risk sit this early in the year. I had a plan done on my land when I first bought it and was told to only hunt the outside fringes. Going into the 4th season without seeing a decent buck from my stands I will be looking to try and find some higher risk stands in travel areas for the rut and later in the season. After 3 years of this plan I am not overly happy with it. They did help me figure out how to add some small kill plots in the 40 acres of swamp. Good luck this year.

Love it!

Congrats on the buck. I don't know if he could get through that thick of woods quietly even if he hadn't been shot.

Nice congrats on a fine buck!

Dang you got me thinking. I’ve made more “buck fever “ mistakes in recent years and by coincidence I quit shooting does because the kids are older and shoot more deer so I didn’t need to. I’ve always had nerves shooting deer but it’s gotten bad in recent years and the confidence when the big guy comes is at an all time low. You might be onto to it! Makes sense to be more nervous the less you shoot. Will have to go back to harvesting does for experience a little to see. GL this season!

Captain obvious.

I think the slow growth in your first two years is due to lack of weed control. They are competing with the poplar.

Great content! We'll be following along! Good luck this season!

I had several years, that when a good buck came in I had buck fever so bad I couldn’t even draw my bow back. It was a wild time for me. I still get buck fever but control it much better. But I’m in my mid 50’s now, lots of seasons to go through.

Yep. Send us another clip after a wet, heavy snow? We’ll see?

Great footage

Hey! Didn’t realize you’re a fellow Minnesotan! I’m in SE with nice state land chunk across the road. If you’re ever interested I’m happy to show you the area!

Finally someone made a video about this. If you do a trade or are super handy, offer them work, or like this guy said just some general work around the land. Been hunting a guys land for years I go by once a month and dedicate a day to trimming up all his landscaping, cleaning windows, pressure washing, etc. fill my tags every season from about 40 hours of work a year.

Best no till brassica I ever planted. I did three gly sprays. One in May, one in June and last was the middle of July. Last week of July I was lucky enough to have a good rain coming and I broadcast my brassicas. I had thigh high plants and soccer ball sized turnips.

Been doing the same thing and old cutting next store that also can hunt. Put few of these plots on our land 1/2 to 1/4 acre. Deer on our land daily. Makes nice rotation as only have to mow few times and occasionally seed it

I'm sure I will get skewered over this but it's not just about getting a deer. He got the deer, but that was a bad shot and that deer felt a lot more pain than it should have had to take to the grave and for some reason that doesn't even seem to bother you in the least. It comes across as if you feel absolutely nothing for the deer. Children see this and also learn not to feel bad for the animal. They learn from watching the adults reaction. This child's excitement should be tempered with reality by explaining this and kids watching this video should see this. To explain it's great to get a deer but that we as hunters need to strive to make sure such things don't happen again. Even if it means going deerless. In fact it really shouldn't be about having to get a deer or you are a failure. I helped bring a kid into bow hunting and had to explain this once and he grew into a fine young hunter that told me years later he was so glad I went there when he made a bad shot and that he believes he enjoys hunting more now whether he gets a deer of not and that it made him a more skilled hunter. So while I love that a kid got to go hunting I sure would like to have seen some understanding and compassion for the deer instead of no empathy being displayed as if you could care less what a deer feels. Maybe that is not what you intended but that is how it comes across. Sorry for the long post but people not showing anything for the animal has become a HUGE problem since hunting shows and UA-cam came along. Many years ago most hunters genuinely cared deeply about what the animals felt.

Get share congratulations young man

In your experience how much height can a guy expect to get on first year planted (frost seeded) RC Tecumseh? I’m diving in this coming spring and planting switch for the first time. Thanks,

Do you have an overhead view to show,?

I know it's gonna be a good one 'cause he's chewin' on something

I am considering the same thing. Thinking more native browse and switch for cover.

What will you use to foiler kill the young trees?

Dog possibly? You bow hunt long enough you get that, we’ve all been there.

Nicely done on a couple beauties for the freezer!

We had 85-90 degrees in Michigan for the youth and disabled vets hunt last weekend. Weird hunting in that warm of weather

Love the video. Nice to see you tie in all the hard work with the fruits of your labor. How awesome that you bring the kids for tracking. I really appreciate what you do. Thank you!

That's a tough loss right there. I watched the video and saw the arrow hit guts and then you tracking right away. I'm assuming you never found the arrow? Having the kid in the stand and wanting to get them on the trail probably skewed the decision making process I'm sure. I still would've tried to get a dog on the trail Sunday morning though. I feel the pain. I had an awesome hunt Sat night having 8 bald deer within 20 yds only to botch the shot w/ my recurve as my limb tip hit a twig. Made the decision to hang up traditional and switch back the compound. We owe it to these animals to make quick clean kills. Not always easy to do in the heat of the moment. Good luck to the you the rest of the season Sam!

The 2nd shot looked better than the 1st.. you just never know with bowhunting. Unless I see them go down I’m always a little nervous until I get my hands on them. Stay positive and have a great season

Call a tracking dog next time. They've only been legal in MN for a few years, so a lot of people don't have them added to their playbook of "do everything to recover the deer", but you'll recover more deer and of the ones you don't, you'll feel better about the situation knowing you did everything you could to recover it.

Bummer on the 2nd one. Too far forward and too far back is a tougher line to tow than a lot of us realize. I find myself holding further forward now than I did in my earlier years of bowhunting. I don't hold Ranch Fairy forward, but definitely don't hold behind the front leg anymore. Back edge to dead center of front leg if perfectly broadside nowadays.
