- Meet First Lite Team Member Taylor Chamberlin. He spends 150 days a year bowhunting whitetails in the backyards and cul de sacs of the Washington, DC Metro area. With permission on more than a hundred properties, some as small as half an acre, Taylor pursues deer from swing sets, tree forts and a modified arborist saddle. He receives no compensations for his significant contributions to the management of a suburban deer herd that creates a wide range of social, ecological and human health issues. Burgeoning metro whitetail populations mow down native tree seedlings, destroy expensive landscaping, endanger motorists and have lead to the near-epidemic spread of Lyme disease. "In City Limits" follows Taylor's unique lifestyle, pursuing deer year-round while balancing his passion with a successful career and growing family.

That guy needs his own UA-cam channel!
Working on it now...
Can’t wait to watch his videos how Will we know when it’s up
William Phillips Hey man, this is an awesome video! I’m in the military and will be stationed up there in a few months. Living in Alexandria. Any tips on where to hunt would be very appreciated! Thanks, and happy hunting!
William Phillips about how many times have you lost a deer due to a neighbor not allowing a recovery? Is there any laws against hunting so close to dwellings? In Michigan we must be 500 ft from any dwelling, regardless of weapon.
He has one if you search his name. But hasn't uploaded in years and only has like four videos. We all need to go on there and comment that he needs to make more content
Perfect. I love this! Great look into another hunters perspective. This is completely different than what I’ve grown up doing. He’s managed to be able to hunt where most hunters are afraid to go, and keeps it professional. You sir give hunters a better name in a place where it matters most! Thank you! Keep shooting straight!
This is so good! Props to First Lite, Captured Creative, and Taylor! Saddle hunters rule!!!
Very nicely done!
Great content, great editing and of course.....great video! This guy is really living most bowhunters' dreams - to be able to hunt with so much frequency and just be outdoors.
Amazing....plus the less fortunate get meat because of it!!! Would love to see more installments.
One of the coolest videos and story that I’ve seen in a while! I’m relatively new to hunting and urban hunting isn’t something I’ve really considered. Huge props to him!
Get this guy on Joe Rogan's podcast asap.
Agreed....Joe and Brian would enjoy doing some backyard hunting with this guy.
@Tracy Weber Without predation deer multiply until there is not enough for them to eat in their habitat, and when that happens your deer friends slowly starve to death in winter. The large populations also create conflicts with humans in the form of auto accidents, destroying landscaping, and relying on eating farmed crops for food.
Thanks to regulated hunting, and conservation efforts by hunters there are more deer in this country than there have ever been.
@Tracy Weber You have 200 deer in a habitat that only supports 100. All 200 starve through winter, many of them die or become so malnourished they miscarry and fail to reproduce, you now have 75 deer.
You have 200 deer, and kill 100 of them, and the other 100 now have twice as much to eat, none die from lack of forage, most of them successfully reproduce and you now have 200 or more from does that were able to raise twins thanks to the extra forage.
@Tracy Weber Before hunting was regulated, humans killed deer any time of year whenever they needed meat, by 1930 there were only around 300,000 whitetail deer left. Regulation and conservation efforts since then have increased their population to more than 30 million. They went from endangered species in my state, to a population of almost 2 million.
The real threat to the future of these animals is loss of habitat from human development. Habitat conservation is something that hunters spend way more on than the average person on. Our liscense and tags as well as a taxes on hunting equipment have contributed billions of dollars to ensure that these animals will always have habitat.
Have you volunteered to improve habitat or donated any money to fund any sort wildlife conservation this year? Every licensed hunter in America did.
@Tracy Weber look it up, its 100% true. It's not JUST whitetail deer that are having such great success. Elk, thanks to the rocky mountain elk foundation are having a great comeback. Wild Turkey were on the edge of extinction until the national wild Turkey foundation stepped in and started managing them. Now there's a healthy enough population to support a hunting season in 49 states. Ducks Unlimited has purchased millions of acres of habitat specifically in the migration path of waterfowl (ducks, geese, etc).
Every state in the US has a version of fish and game. 100% of the funding for maintaining and purchasing new habitat and managing the species comes from selling hunting and fishing tags and boat registrations. None of the funding comes from tax payers. Hunters also pay a special tax on firearms, ammo, bows, and hunting apparel that is earmarked for conservation (Pittman Robertson act). Your state and national parks are 100% funded from these fees (again 0 tax payer dollars pay for any of it). Even public places that dont allow hunting are still paid for by hunters. Google your state and public hunting map or wildlife management area, I think you'll be amazed and how many places you'll find
New nothing about a tree saddle before this video. Now, I've been told I'm getting one for Father's Day.
thank you this is what gives Hunters a good reputation
This is one of the best hunting videos around. Great job First light. Taylor has great skills and a target rich environment to go after 100+ deer a year. Need more videos with him.
❤😂🎉😢😮😅
looking forward to more of these first lite produced series!
Pretty awesome guys. Looks like a beautiful town and is pretty cool that your so close to home. Great job man
I hunt the 695 beltway properties...tons of deer...I have 3 kids a full time job , side jobs etc...there is often just enough time before sunset to sneak in to one of my urban spots to hunt...to me this is normal...So glad you made this video so I feel less ridiculed by those can afford time and money wise to go hunt the midwest for weeks at a time. GReat video!
Some of us have car payments... this guy must have a line of credit at his archery shop for all those arrows 😀
he shoots carbon...arrows can be used over and over. he is taking short shots from an elevated angle so arrows dont usually get lost. i have some shafts I have taken dozens of deer with, I`m sure this gentleman is the same. now my wood shafts I shoot usually get broke....
It was a joke , lighten up 😀
@@bowhunterdave 🤣
Hilarious joke
Chad Klaren why is that ? Worrying they could blow up leaving bow? Wondering because I have some that shot some
Does off property last year end of season and I shot two of those other day one looking rough flew a little off but one good still! But wondering if it possible it could blow apart on me splinter in hand or some
Enjoyed this flick! Scenery is familiar; have bowhunted DC suburbs for 33 years.
Just moved up here, looking forward to giving it a shot.
It is absolutely incredible that you are able to get permission from these property owners. Every time I ask a property owner up here in coastal NH, even famers, it is always a resounding no. Sometimes they become incensed at the mere idea of me even being a hunter.
Yeah that sucks
This is the coolest hunting thing I’ve seen on UA-cam in a long time. Awesome!
Have been waiting to see the video for the past week or so awesome job great video.
My man!! Solid work guys. 👍
I hunt the suburbs of Upstate NY , Philadelphia, Ohio and Massachusetts nothing wrong with it at all ! In most cases I'm on call . No pressure from other ppl hunting it's peaceful see more deer more activity , bigger bucks and more bucks in most cases . I love suburban deer hunting it's the best .......Keep it up Brotha I'm with ya.
“Pretend to be articulate.”
That’s what I do everyday at work. Works like a charm.
These videos are dope ....keep posting them
great video!! in same boat.. obviously not as many properties but all city deer..guess I gotta up my grind and get another 90 properties!!
It is so awesome you can hunt that much that close to home, major props for the donations to hunters feeding the hungry!
Great Video. Tell Billy from CL that Ofc. Smith from Blair said Hello, and is about to start Hunting.
I can't think of anything clever to say. This is just awesome.
That's so awesome I hunt in Suburban areas in Maryland keep up the good work
I enjoy your videos. It's different from the others on UA-cam. You definitely are enjoying the best of both worlds. 👍
Awesome!!! Bless ya brother..great job..
I do a lot of suburban hunting and it's amazing how close the deer are. We really have to learn a few different things from the deep woods guys although much of the same skills. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Cool video. Figured he would get a lot of flack hunting that close to DC. Really interesting.
Been hunting behind houses for 12+ years in the suburbs of Minneapolis it's amazing seen lots of big bucks and harvested a few! It's a untapped area in many places
Scott Isaacson where abouts in Minneapolis?
West metro
Scott Isaacson Minnesota stand up!
I need to hunt with you scott
I thoroughly enjoy this video! Very cool👍
Good video 👍 I have noticed from hunting a small similar setup that these deer are more aware of human activity than deer in bigger blocks of woods. Also much more likely to jump string. Thanks and good safe hunting
Love this video!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Awesome video! It was a lot of fun to watch.
Very very cool. I grew up in NJ hunting whitetail and the monsters were always in some development and not on the big 50-100 acres farms we hunted on. Always absolute slobs running around near downtown Princeton, NJ.
Taylor's UA-cam channel is "The Urban Sportsman". Current sub count is 131, curious how quickly that number climbs! Great video as always!
Jesse McCarthy He actually lost 6 subs since you posted this :(
its only 200 now

We hunt in areas like this a lot when I'm down I Cuyahoga Ohio. Lots of little tracks of unpressured land whitetail thrive in. Awesome video guys.
Northern VA has some fantastic whitetail deer. I had the luxury of hunting Prince William Cnty for 10 yrs. EPIC is the word.
I want to do this so bad! Plus: Gungor...great soundtrack choice
I live in Southern Maryland (Anne Arundel/Prince George's Counties)and am beginning to navigate this world of suburban/urban deer hunting. This is inspirational and exciting that I can build my client base/property access. Thanks.
I grew up in Woodbridge ....... Hunted text to Manassas battlefield as a kid. .... Fun to see
Great video. I live in suburban detroit and we have giant whitetails that are untouchable because of hunting regulations. I wish I could hunt outside of my house luke Tyler. That would be epic!
This guy has to be a master at field dressing!
Taylor man I love the videos! I started urban hunting this year with a new program we have in Arkansas. Have had great interactions and even convinced one lady to see hunters in a different way. She went from voting against the program to showing me a good place to set up next to her property. I love my backwoods adventures but really enjoying the urban experience.
That's awesome, man! Glad to hear it!! Once people see how effective and ethical it is, as well as the fact the meat is going to a good use, it's easy to be on board with!
Dope!!! Love the quick and sweet video. Keep it coming
I don’t know what it is about hunting there but it looks dope!!!!
Great video. Hope to see more like this.
How I learned how to hunt! Started hunting in the suburbs of St. Louis on a couple small 5 acre lots. Soo many deer and no pressure. It was always nice when I could hear the kids down the street say “hey Dad, look a deer!” And I’d get ready for them to come in
What suburbs would that be
Started hunting there 25 yrs ago doing exactly what your doing. Granted there was only a few of us. I even recognize some of the houses
THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER! HEY...WHY NOT? THE DEER ARE THERE AND NEED MANAGED AND HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY IS AN AWESOME PLACE TO DONATE THE EXCESS VENISON!!
Think about how many meals he has provided by donating all those deer... crazy. Props to him for getting out there all the time
Awesome viedo y'all loved it !!!! I live In swva and we have a erbon archery season in some towns that starts in September
Great video, first lite! Makes me want to get some suburban permissions.
sweet video.. i do the same thing here where I live.. hunt 5 acres with neighbors in every direction... deer are very used to everybody's routine.. until the rut hits!
This us awesome!! Props to First Lite for bringing attention to Suburban Archery.
very cool. I'm a Maryland Suburban hunter as well!!
So many deer in Potomac. I hunted there some years ago.
Michael,Yes for sure. I used to belong to a management group that hunted the Falls road area almost exclusively. We took out many the first few years, and yet they still were thick in there. A couple of the guys still hunt there. I just got so busy with work and children, I couldn't devote the time.
This reminds me of that show way back when called “Chasing Tail”. They also did urban hunting.
I see a lot of deer by piney branch parkway all the time. The other day heading toward Georgia Ave there was a 9 point guaranteed to have a 24" spread if not more
Great video!
I wouldnt want to kill 40-100 deer a year.
That's Mark's butcher shop in Hamilton, VA. Mark's son Brendan on the saw. BEST European mounts in NOVA.
I f**king love it. Just awesome dude.
id like to see more vids of him in tight urban hunts
Amazing video!
Dude what you do is just fuckin awesome man, Kee up the good work and awesome vids 👊💯
Awesome video!
I would love to have that much experience!
Great video
Awesome story.
What kind of broadheads do you like to use?
how do you go about getting management tags?
Man you are so lucky to have a place in the city limits to hunt like that. Here in Fayetteville, Ark., we have deer all over the city. Deer body's laying on side of the road. They have been hit crossing from woodlots, by cars. Just a waste of deer. The city won't let bow hunters hunt in the city limits. Although there is acres of woodlots - un-inhabited. I wish you could give me some tips on what to do to get permission to hunt. E- mail me.
thanks again awesome
Absolutely awesome. I hunt that way also. Im a landscaper who gets permission from clients and it grew from there. Im a crossbow guy and SC Lowcountry has tons of deer. My profile pic shows one.
I hunt the Fairfax County Archery program. Lots of action to be sure!
It is the most fun you can have with your pants on...
Haha😂😂😂
Hahaha 😆😆
What saddle system are you using in this video???

This guy needs a UA-cam channel
We are loving it we are hunting in Paces Ferry exit on 285 North in Atlanta Georgia and Roswell Dunwoody one of the most expensive neighborhoods around Atlanta we've got a 14 pointer we're looking at this year and he is a pig I mean close to 300 pounds just outrageous
Atlanta suburb bow hunter my self. On the south side. Several nice bucks on cam with a few sightings but nothing yet
Man, I sure like your work, great videos, please keep it up
I know what it is to hunt a small property because I hunt my yard which is only two acres in rural Kentucky but love the videos and keep up the good work or feeding the hungry.
I have woods behind my home and the woods is about 250 yards wide and if you go east it opens up into a few bigger fingers of woods. I slip in and out without anyone knowing. It's County property and it's open land, the hunting is legal, you must stay 150 feet from a home. I stay secretive because I don't know what some neighbors will say. It's great hunting. The deer really needed to be thinned out. I also have a power line to the right of my home which adds a bit more privacy for me to do my thing. Of course deer don't always cooperate after you shoot them and they can run off in a direction you'd rather not see them go so that plays into how and when you take the shot so you can up the percentage the deer will head in a favorable direction where it won't die on one of the neighbors lawn. It is fun, it's right behind my home, it's great action and there are some outstanding bucks.
I’m in the same area , any tips on finding places to hunt ?
😂 “we’ll say that again so you can actually use it” lol I like this guy!
Nice job fellas!
Hell yeah NOVA on the map!!!!
If you ever need any help, I'd be more than willing!
Cool video! I’ve been doing this since 2014. Rarely an urban hunt I don’t see and have a shot on deer.
Love this video this is great
I'm doing the same in northern va at home but dont even know where to start with finding more places like this
check out outdooraccess.com, there are a lot of properties around the area, plus you can get out to western loudoun or clark (quick drive for you) and use rifle/shotgun
Tried to do this in my neighborhood in the Texas Hill Country. Got permissions from the entire neighborhood while at a POA meeting. Then called a game warden just to make extra, extra sure. I found out that it's illegal to discharge a bow on any property smaller than 10 acres by both county ordinance and state law.
shot my biggest buck in city limits on 7 acres. nice work
Shot my biggest on 20 acres just 2 miles from the city limits
I live in Takoma Park, just above Silgo Creek, 8 pointers are like cabs, everywhere! I wish we could hunt around here. I have too drive to McKee Bashers. passing some record breaking deer in my backyard.
This is a sweet vid!
This is such a dope video.
Awesome!! A lot like the tiny parcel of hand I hunt in Southern Ontario, Canada.
What is that harness thing he’s using?? Looks awesome for staying mobile and deploying anywhere!!
It's a saddle. Go to tethrdnation.com
Off topic, how is that tree saddle been thinking about make the switch ?
Stan Petrikis nice if you only sit for an hour or two. They get annoyingly uncomfortable pretty quickly. I still use mine when I only have a couple hours after work to hunt and I'm in a hurry. Otherwise, treestands are muchhhhh better. I only use my saddle when I have to. Do you watch hunting dvds/videos? I bet you never saw a hunter in a saddle. Maybe once. Maybe 1/1000. That's how great they are lol. It's only practical for a hunt like this guy is doing. Quick and tree hopping everyday
Jeff Ree thanks for the advise sounds like a lock on is a little better choice. I appreciate your time but never take advice from anyone who is getting paid or kickbacks telling you their products better. Pros are only good because of their outfitters are great.
Stan Petrikis true that. I'm a lock on guy myself. I'll put up a few on the property I hunt and move one around if need be. May I suggest a good set of climbing sticks. I use the lonewolf but there are a few similar. I'll hang all my stands and leave them in the tree by themselves and just carry in and set up my sticks every hunt. That way no one can get into my stands but me. The lonewolf sticks are very light and compact and easy to carry in and set up. Muddy makes a really nice cam lock stick also. So much easier then those bulky heavy stick ladders that you leave on the tree. Unless you know no one will come across your stands
Stan Petrikis this guys actually using the same sticks I use. Very mobile and portable
Better to be uncomfortable than asleep lol
Anybody know what harness set up he is using to hang in the tree like that. I have never seen that before.
Tethrd
This only works in liberalville USA where no one else hunts but you. Down here we don't have deer in our neighborhoods cause everyone hunts. Your a really lucky guy.
very well done!
