Boy do I love these videos!!! Feel like I am part of the camp. Appreciate the shoutout my friend and hope that you and your family have a safe and very Merry Christmas!
Thanks Joe, had a good time there. If you felt like you're there, then I did my job. LOL. And heck you helped with the grill so you are part of the camp!. Send me a pic of that buck mount when you get it back. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family
Thanks you.I lost my brother last year, he taught me to love hunting and the outdoors. I knew I couldn’t watch your videos until I had time to heal. I watched the entire 2021 deer hunt video and it helped me remember all the good times. Thank you very much for allowing us to join your hunt. Wish you and the guys the very best.
Hello Mev L, sorry to hear about the loss of your Brother. I'm sure it was a difficult time for you and the family. I hope watching the videos helped with remembering the great times you and your brother had together. Take care!
This was EPIC. Such a great brotherhood. The Chairman cracks me up. He reminds me of every guy I grew up with, ballbreaking and joking with your friends. You guys rock.
Thanks Harvey, yep the Chairman is a 'card'. By himself he's another person, you get a few people there he plays right into it. As it should be! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
I'm glad I found this video. Brings back so many memories from my days in deer camp back in the 80's with my Pop-Pop in Centre County. The cabin and most of those guys are gone now so thank you for sharing this. Such good times and good memories to be made and shared.
Glad you enjoyed it Rodney and it could bring back some happy times for you. We don't get a lot of deer there, but we do have a great time we remember year after year.
Wonderful! Everyone looked like they enjoyed the great food and company! Fun to tag along and see! Camp looks great! Hope the tree guy can meet your needs this Spring. Always enjoy seeing your videos! Thank you!
Waited all year for this one, now my season is complete. Really enjoyed this video and always, amazed how you can mix it up. Although no deer, looks like a great trip and you certainly capture what hunting and deer camp is all about. Now we have the long wait until next season. Regards Mark
Glad you could wrap it up on a high note Mark! Still have one more deer camp video in my pocket for later. Take care, stay warm and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family!
Making the transition from baseball season to not baseball season (aka. hunting and fishing season) I watch and rewatch all of these to get revved up. Love all your traditions, ball busting and pizza/wing runs. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Derrick, was thinking the other day it wont be long now even though it was 90+°. Waiting a few weeks before I head back up to check on the logging again. Take care and good luck this year!
Thank YOU for putting out such good content that makes all of us want to watch your videos and support you. A good time and enjoying nature is the main goal of deer camp so another great year for you guys!
Our camp has been going from 1974. My father and Uncle started it camping in pup tents. Long way from when we started .Pop and Uncle Dan has long past but their spirit is always present in camp every year. R.I.P. POP AND UNC. The Heavy Hitters Deer Club. Pasadena,N.J. Your friend Dan from Jersey.🦅🇺🇸👍
A great and well timed video, Tom. I fine myself watching these several times, then spend more time on the cooking. The flag scenes... always a class touch. May you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year 🎉🎄 By the way, I definitely hear you when you say... I'm not thirty anymore. 😀
Thanks John, just try to have a fun time at Camp. Show what goes on in a typical day for us. And yes, 30, that boat sailed a long time ago. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Great video as always !! Looked like a great time with the guys at camp . Just my Dad and myself at camp this year , didn't bring one home but got to spend quality time with my Dad . Nothing better than that !!!
Thanks Pete, I'm sure you had a great time there with your Pop. As much as I like it with all the guys, I do enjoy that time with just Shawn there also. Hope you get a few inquires about the blinds.
Another great deer camp video! This is always my favorite UA-cam video of the year. Glad to see Camp Cook redeem himself this year and the Chairman had me cracking up as usual.
Cherish every moment you get at camp with friends and family. This year we got hit with the covid . My son who was 29 passed away December 26th. My cousin who is 30 is still on a ventilator. Im glad i got to spend the time with them at camp. It was the last time we were all together.
Thanks, hope you had a great year over your way. Getting out to that other property was something different, broke things up a little and seeing some doe along the way didn't hurt.
Just want to say i love your videos. I too do a lot of driving to get to my Fulton county Pa hunting camp from my home on Long Island. Unfortunately i and my brother have decided to sell because of the lack of deer and because of our aging. All of those who hunted at our camp will be missed as will the time we shared together there for the past 32 years. Where does the time go? Thanks for keeping our memories alive through your videos. Bob K , Semper Fi
Thanks Bob for the kind words! The lack of deer (at least in our area) has been a big disappointment for us. But we are hoping things may change after we do some logging. I'm sure you and your brother enjoyed the time there and will have those fond memories to remember for a long time. Take care and stay safe!
Man i'm so glad i stumbled upon your videos.Just love em.I recently started hunting out of a camp in Grand Valley Pa.I live in ne Ohio so getting used to the hills was fun for a flatlander!Hope everyone in your camp has a fantastic 2023 season! p.s. O-H- for the Buckeye chili..lol
Welcome aboard James, hope you have a little fun here. Know what you mean about those hills, flat as a pancake here in DE also, not use to the hills when I go up. Good luck this year, we have had a lot of does and small bucks on the cameras so far. Take care!
Love the videos Tom . You do a great job , they are easy and entertaining to watch. I’m in Australia and have always been interested in the US . It’s great to see around when your on the road 👍 Best wishes ..
I've watched your videos over the years, but never commented. We lost our camp last year due to divorce. First deer season for me ever without it. I can't wait to someday have one of my own.

I was just talking to a friend about how I was waiting for your video to release and 10 minutes later it was posted!! Nice to see you all again. Beef brisket stew looked awesome!
The camp is like "guys night out but a week of it" pretty cool to be with friends and tell stories and hunt. I love it. Let's go, Brandon! OMG...the food looks great!
I really appreciate what you guys are doing...I'm a solo deer hunter; but we have a turkey, morel and crappie camp over here in NW Missouri. We've been doing this stuff 43 years. Keep up the good work.💪
Hey these are memories and what deer camp is about. Thank u I was waiting for ur video. It was awesome and a pleasure to watch ur a great group keep on making camp videos
Glad to see y'all are still at it. Enjoying the video along with a few beers beside the dog and fire. Can't wait to get after it myself but sacrificed hunting to make up for lost time with the kid. Appreciate ya sharing the experience.
Thanks, I'm sure you had a pretty nice time with your child also. Next time will be even nicer for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Enjoyed the video as usual WhiteRook. There is just something about being at deer camp with the guys that is hard to explain. Merry Christmas to you and the guys and families. Look forward to next video.
Spent a week up camp in Forest County PA. Great time with family and friends. Watching you guys is like going back to camp each year. Flintlock hunting up Camp soon love it. Thank you for your efforts and taking us along with you.
Another great one right,your grandchildren comment the best, we have a three year old country granddaughter. My wife is doing her best to create a little lady with Elena, but her daddy little different, but we all win God bless again from Nova scotia, great time again next year. We fortunate we can visit our camp when ever we feel like. Happy Saturday, bunny season.
Another classic "Camp Go Time" hunting video. Nice to see all the guys made it up for the annual PA hunt. Deer or no deer it's always great to be with friends and family. Those meals all looked so good and Camp Cook appears to be back in the game with the Dutch Oven Smoker Brisket stew. The Chairman even seemed to like it so it must of been good. Speaking of the Chairman, he was very generous this year to his RITP fans especially @ 36.03 Lol Hope your enjoying your 6.5 Creedmoor Whiterook. Would of been nice to have tried it on a buck down at that farm with the big long fields. Next year. Big congrats to Shawn on a dandy DE buck. Looking forward to the solo vid . Until next time TC and RITP !
Hello Ian, glad you enjoyed! I think RITPs is a Camp classic at this point. I know the Chairman wont forget about it. We had some good meals. I think I need to break out the bone-in Rib Roast again. Would have liked to test out the Creedmoor on something this year. NC or PA I didn't a good buck to present himself. In DE we can only use shotgun or pistol caliber, so no 6.5 there. I have the same Winchester XPR (same camo also) in .350 Legend. Shawn's buck was a real good one, as you could hear the beeps when we found it. Everyone was excited. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@thechairman7276 I was thinking there should be a little contest set up where we have to see how many RITP's we can spot. You could mix it up where some are subtle barely noticeable, others very brazen right out there etc. Lol Cheers Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
Love how you showed what gun everyone is using! The chairman looking like he took some notes from cook and was the one that gained the weight this year. Still looking like a stud though. Great vid as always Rook, always look forward to this one. Love the beard by the way !
Thanks Jordan, was looking for a way to get that in there, had a few requests to do that. Our normal slow mo walk didn't get filmed due to my or a camera issue.
Always a pleasure to watch you guys do deer camp always makes me feel like I'm right there. U guys are the best keep them coming. Be safe happy holidays and God bless!!!
@@whiterook85 That's why u guys gotta give me the invite so I can get one for you guys lol...😂 But seriously always fun to see u guys ur get one next year
I enjoy all of your videos and especially the cabin trips. I think we can all say we enjoy the memories yall make and feel like we are all there with you every year. Can't wait for the next trip! Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and enjoy the holidays with one another.
It’s is a very awesome pleasure to see how ur camp and all hunting family does and shows everyone else u are very right it’s not about the kill it’s the time at camp and everyone that gets to spend it with u and your hunting family big time I really enjoy watching every video u and you family does I really true love watching makes my day I used to work a lot up that way building bridges for almost 20 year done a lot of bridges on the north east exstention poconos berwick Allentown leihhighten Williamsport tiogia county lived out of a suite case for twenty yrs all but just wanted to say very awesome very beautiful country
I've been riding over those bridges for more than 60 years. I know that ride like the back of my hand. Glad you enjoyed and hopefully just relaxed for a bit. Seems like we have trouble doing that these days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
No, we thought we may have a chance at the other farm this year, but proved uneventful. Many doe could have fallen, but I'd rather see them repopulate a little more. Thanks Scott!
@@whiterook85 , we harvest a lot of does each year to keep the the buck to do ratio closer to 50/50 as possible. It took a couple of years but really started paying off with more and bigger bucks being seen and harvested on our farm. Not sure what it’s like in PA but in VA it works. We killed 5 bucks and 11 does this year. Seems like a lot of does but only a small fraction of the population in reality. Happy hunting!
Great video as always. We sit down and enjoy watching. You have given me some good ideas for our deer camp with the cooking and hunting camp lifestyle thanks again
I always look forward to your deer camp videos - thanks for letting us come along! Looks like you guys had a great time, as always. I’m originally from Wilmington, DE (but living in the south now), so it’s fun to see my old “stomping grounds”. Keep up the great work!!
another great Video ,just got up to go to work ,enjoying my Coffee and watching your Video ,thinking to myself how nice it would be to be at a hunt camp right now,LOL ,love the Video's thanks
Good times, good friends. You're right, that's what it's all about. Your photography and production gets better every video. Love the 'struttin' up' intros and like how you showed each guy's rifle of choice this year. Had to chuckle when you forgot your boots. Is this a 'Trailslippa' challenge? :) That brisket stew looked mighty good to me. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot Paul, had a pretty good time there this year. I had a few request to show what rifle we all use. Was a good way to put it in there. And yes, that was the "Trailslippa" challenge for sure. I didn't have to walk as much, just was a little cold. The wool socks really helped me make it through that one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
A long awaited video, and as always Tom another great camp video good food and good times the experience and the camaraderie mean more than the harvest to me also a nice tribute to your dear friend Senior Happy Holidays and be safe my friend
Glad you enjoyed John, from talking to a lot of people this shows your normal deer camp. We have a great time, and go home happy with or without a deer. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks Guy's for the video of your Pa.Deer 🏕 Camp,I really enjoyed the different meals that you guys had,the Philly Cheese,and the Smoked Brisket Stew looked awesome! I subscribed!
Thanks Nolan, the cheese steak hit the spot after being up there alone for a few days. Everything was good, even the stew! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks for sharing your camp with us. That brisket looked outrageous bravo. Love the videos keep them common enjoy the rest of the season stay healthy and safe
Always love your videos. I'm originally from PA and for the last 15-20 years my brothers and dad headed to deer camp in McKean County. Unfortunately we only managed to all be up there together once. One of my brothers and I recently retired out of the military and were going to make this journey more often but sone things have changed. But like you said it's the memories that count. We are not sure if we are going to continue this tradition, we lost our father to his battle with agent orange, just a few weeks ago. Kinda hard watching your video this year but it was definitely therapeutic. Keep them coming.
Thank you Michael, you brother, and your Dad for your Service to our great Country. Sorry to hear of your loss, it must be a difficult time for you and the family. My Dad didn't hunt, but I know what you mean, I had hunted with Sr. for 25 years or so before his passing. We trudged on the following year and I think it helped retelling old stories as we do every year. Take care sir!!
Seems like it's been a slow hunting season all around pa. Love your videos and follow ever single one. Good luck with the timbering, and can't wait for the outcome
Thanks Nate, I really haven't heard too much from PA yet. Not sure if it was the weather, or hunting pressure (lack of), etc. Looking forward to the logging and seeing what kind of change it will make there.
Love watching your life at deer camp! Very much like what my buddies and I do in Michigan. It's the time in camp that makes it fun, whether or not we get a deer!
Awesome video my friend. I understand buddy . I hunt a ground blind exclusively now. Love your videos and camp. I have a cabin and acerage in Luddington Mi. Also in the Upper Peninsula . 👍🏻💛🙏🏻🇺🇸
Was a great deer that Shawn got this year, glad I had my camera along. As you can tell I was pretty excited also, normally don't curse that much when the camera is going. Glad you came along with us too.
I would have done the same if my son shot an 8 point. Lol If you would ever be interested in doing a live stream someday let me know. It would be neat to hear some stories over the years at the cabin and the success in Delaware.
Seeing your deer camp video go up is part of my hunting season routine now. Great addition adding the firearm and caliber that the guys use. Great video as usual.
Yeah, that was pretty cool to see what everyone shoots, but what is a Remington Model 70 .270 that Camp Cook is shooting? I thought that he carried/shot a Remington 700 BDL .270? Maybe a typo, I love the Remington 700 BDL and the Remington ADL , great accurate rifles. I have several chambered in 30-06, 270, 243, 7mm-08, 308 and a custom Remington 700 ADL long action in .284 Winchester (very accurate). Too bad they don't make them like they used to. Love these videos WhiteRook85, keep them coming brother. 👍
Psyched!! It’s GO-TIME! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪view from my hotel room is the Kerry mountains. Deer central in Ireland. God bless and Merry Christmas.
Commenting from upper peninsula of Michigan , I love your videos , longtime watcher , one thing I miss about Shawn’s and yourself videos is the cigar and poker night at camp! 2022 let’s see a card game night !
That time again always look forward to these videos! Sean sure did bag a stud of a buck, glad to see some success its been the worst season for me in a long long time on tx public land. Thanks for the great entertainment as usual
Thanks! Was a great day for Shawn! Sorry to hear about TX, been a tough year for me also. 3 states and no bucks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Been looking fer video. Glad y'all started off with snow on the ground it makes fer better hunting. Deer camp always goes quick. As you mentioned it's about making memories and good times with friends and family. Glad you and sintax had some luck in Delaware. We were a couple guys short fer our 🦌 camp this year one was injured and the other was forced to work. Glad you guys had a safe and productive hunt. P.s. keep the videos coming um liked chairman's chant Let's go Brandon.
Thanks Aaron, like the snow also. You can see so much better, tracks, blood trail, etc. Sorry to hear your camp was a little short this year. Will be all the better for them next year when they can attend.
It's really nice up there when it snows. Shows off the lay of the land really nice. Now getting down our mountain road is a little scary. Hopefully I'll have the solo part out soon.
Thanks Mark! I'm still catching up on watching some videos, will have to check out how you and the family made out. Busy time of the year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Congrats to Shawn on a really nice buck! Always love to see this one pop up! Looks like a great time by everyone. That brisket stew looked awesome. Camp cook did a great job on that one! Hopefully with the timber cutting the deer will have more browse to be on the mountains in the years up coming! Always a bummer when it comes to a close….looking forward to the Spring trip already! Looking forward to the fire chat.
Hey Tim, thanks again for everything. The stew, well, it was confusing. Shawn and I discussed he should have went for the brisket alone, or not smoked the meat. I gave it the 6.5 also. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun 2021. It was a bad year for deer where I hunt. Here in Jersey the black tongue disease was kinda bad . My one place went from a herd of 60 to 3. The rest died or moved out of the area because of it. Well good luck to you and the guys this year. Defend the 2nd. Your friend Dan , the Heavy Hitters deer club from Jersey.🗽🦅🇺🇸👍
Thanks Dan, we had a great time, more to come this year. Will see how the logging we did effects things, most likely wont start seeing improvement until next year. Sorry to hear about the black tongue, we had that back in DE about 8 years ago. Was as bad as you said. Hopefully some deer will move into your area this year. Good luck in 2022!
Was a pretty long time to be there, gets to you after a while. I said I don't think I can do it again, my wife told me to go. Do you think she's trying to tell me something?
@@whiterook85 Yepper, LOl, Well this past summer I was up our OG cabin for two days when the wife called and said she tested positive for covid. I stayed up there for 5 more nights alone and it was a tad lonely especially at dinner time. Curious how you handles washing up? Thanks for sharing your trip was looking forward to the video.
Think you're right! During the cold months I heat water up in the kettle and just wash up. I did my hair over the empty trash can. Summer time we use the coleman shower bags. Also the Duke Cannon and Dude Showers are pretty good for getting cleaned up. Not as nice as a real shower, but during the winter, a lot warmer.
I look forward to these videos! great focus on the deer camp experience! I will say one thing I cant watch your videos before I eat lol Keep the videos coming!!!
Gidday ole rooke!! When is the spring vid coming. I’ve been checking every day lol hope to hear from you soon. I myself am waiting to get to my camp to put up a new enclosed hunting hut I built.
Hello Devin, just got back today. So give me a few day, have some other things to do to catch up on. Hoping for Sunday or Monday evening (Eastern Time).
Congrats Shawn on your Del. Buck My season was a lot of bucks, but only 2 maybe a third legal. All those bucks need at least another year and they will be wall hangers. Great video as always, done a little different this year, I LIKE IT. To you, your family, the crew at deer camp I want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS, and A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Until the spring trip GOD BLESS
Hey Tom, excellent video as always. Love watching your crew enjoy hunting camp. Man, the meals you guys make absolutely make me drool...Even the brisket stew looked delicious. Also, I Appreciate the shout out and the support you've given me and my channel. It's been great getting to know you over the years through your video, comment and Twitter. Merry Christmas to you, Mrs Rook and the family.
Thanks Dan, everything was great. Keep up the good work on your channel Dan, looking great. Twitter is a bit of my dark side, so take some of my replies to others with a grain of salt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family!
Boy do I love these videos!!! Feel like I am part of the camp. Appreciate the shoutout my friend and hope that you and your family have a safe and very Merry Christmas!
Thanks Joe, had a good time there. If you felt like you're there, then I did my job. LOL. And heck you helped with the grill so you are part of the camp!. Send me a pic of that buck mount when you get it back.

Sorry to hear about the family getting hit hard. I defiantly relish the time we spend up there together.
Nice video of a great family tradition. It’s always nice to peek into someone else’s camp and see how they hunt. Thanks.
Thanks! Good times there, we could use a few more deer here and there, but we have a lot of fun.
@@whiterook85 It’s all about the experience and memories, the venison is just a bonus. Well done.👍🏽
Our feelings exactly, thanks for the kind works.
Sitting down to watch Tom is so relaxing, just the time of year makes it peaceful, now lets get a Buck this year guys.
We are always hopefully, a couple around. More will come in as the temps cool.
Looks like a great time was had by all again this year, Tom! Thanks for sharing the camp's buck season experience with us.
Thanks, hope you had a great year over your way. Getting out to that other property was something different, broke things up a little and seeing some doe along the way didn't hurt.

Once again whiterook this is a masterclass in story telling, you did it again.
Thanks so much Evan!!!
Thanks for taking us along! Once again, I'm hungry as hell after watching this...
Sure thing Jimbo, if you're hungry I did my job! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
I've watched your videos over the years, but never commented. We lost our camp last year due to divorce. First deer season for me ever without it. I can't wait to someday have one of my own.
There's something to be said about someone willing to document something like this every year. You mentioned your grandkids in the video...this is your legacy. It is very important to me to leave behind something my kids and grandkids can remember me by. You've got it figured out and I applaud your deer camp efforts every year.

Well said Stephan, we really enjoy that time there. Keeps us laughing for years retelling the stories from that year.
Once again you guys ate like kings! Always great to see you guys laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Happy 2022! Congrats on 14K.
Thanks Chad, good times! The deer will come in time, will see if the timbering will make a difference.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing...I'm a solo deer hunter; but we have a turkey, morel and crappie camp over here in NW Missouri. We've been doing this stuff 43 years.
Keep up the good work.💪
Thanks Mark, good luck out there sir!
Hey these are memories and what deer camp is about. Thank u I was waiting for ur video. It was awesome and a pleasure to watch ur a great group keep on making camp videos
So nice of you, thanks Gianni!
Glad to see y'all are still at it. Enjoying the video along with a few beers beside the dog and fire. Can't wait to get after it myself but sacrificed hunting to make up for lost time with the kid. Appreciate ya sharing the experience.
Thanks, I'm sure you had a pretty nice time with your child also. Next time will be even nicer for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Great video Tom your correct it's hard to beat deer camp and time with the guys. I miss that a lot.
Think that's the fun part. Getting a deer, well that's great also.
Enjoyed the video as usual WhiteRook. There is just something about being at deer camp with the guys that is hard to explain. Merry Christmas to you and the guys and families. Look forward to next video.
Well said! Thanks Joseph, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Spent a week up camp in Forest County PA. Great time with family and friends. Watching you guys is like going back to camp each year. Flintlock hunting up Camp soon love it. Thank you for your efforts and taking us along with you.
Good luck with flintlock this year. Never tried it, but I did hear it's a lot of fun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
I will be flintlocking in Marienville, good luck to you, 🤞
@@rustyhooks3092 Thats great our Camp is in Leeper. And we hunt gamelands 24. Also on the Vohwinkle lease. The best time of the year.
Another great one right,your grandchildren comment the best, we have a three year old country granddaughter. My wife is doing her best to create a little lady with Elena, but her daddy little different, but we all win God bless again from Nova scotia, great time again next year. We fortunate we can visit our camp when ever we feel like. Happy Saturday, bunny season.
Good stuff Vernon, nice to see the grand kids growing up.
Pa. Deer camp reminds me of our Ohio deer camp. Excellent Food, bourbon, “busting chops” and deer hunting. Thanks for sharing 👍🥃.
Thanks Pauley, hope you had a little luck there this year.
Finally the gang is back. I love the intro on what you guys shoot. Camp cook was funny baby rifle.
Will have to keep putting that in (intro) just in case there are some changes in the future.
Another classic "Camp Go Time" hunting video. Nice to see all the guys made it up for the annual PA hunt. Deer or no deer it's always great to be with friends and family. Those meals all looked so good and Camp Cook appears to be back in the game with the Dutch Oven Smoker Brisket stew. The Chairman even seemed to like it so it must of been good. Speaking of the Chairman, he was very generous this year to his RITP fans especially @ 36.03 Lol Hope your enjoying your 6.5 Creedmoor Whiterook. Would of been nice to have tried it on a buck down at that farm with the big long fields. Next year. Big congrats to Shawn on a dandy DE buck. Looking forward to the solo vid . Until next time TC and RITP !
Hello Ian, glad you enjoyed! I think RITPs is a Camp classic at this point. I know the Chairman wont forget about it. We had some good meals. I think I need to break out the bone-in Rib Roast again. Would have liked to test out the Creedmoor on something this year. NC or PA I didn't a good buck to present himself. In DE we can only use shotgun or pistol caliber, so no 6.5 there. I have the same Winchester XPR (same camo also) in .350 Legend. Shawn's buck was a real good one, as you could hear the beeps when we found it. Everyone was excited. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
RITP for life!!!!!
@@thechairman7276 I was thinking there should be a little contest set up where we have to see how many RITP's we can spot. You could mix it up where some are subtle barely noticeable, others very brazen right out there etc. Lol Cheers Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
@@ianmccutcheon6319 Hahahaha sounds like a great idea! Happy Holidays to you and yours brother.
Love how you showed what gun everyone is using! The chairman looking like he took some notes from cook and was the one that gained the weight this year. Still looking like a stud though. Great vid as always Rook, always look forward to this one. Love the beard by the way !
Thanks Jordan, was looking for a way to get that in there, had a few requests to do that. Our normal slow mo walk didn't get filmed due to my or a camera issue.
😳
I couldn’t have said it better myself Jordan! Except for the stud part.
Always a pleasure to watch you guys do deer camp always makes me feel like I'm right there. U guys are the best keep them coming. Be safe happy holidays and God bless!!!
Thanks 👍 Robert, like to keep them fun and mellow. We just really need a buck to have a staring roll one of these days.
@@whiterook85 That's why u guys gotta give me the invite so I can get one for you guys lol...😂 But seriously always fun to see u guys ur get one next year
Oh I live for these Deer Camp videos!! No one taught me to hunt, but I'm an Outdoorsman, and love the wilderness!!
Sometimes it's just a natural instinct. If you think back on how long humans where doing it, you realize why some people are drawn to it.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for recording your stay in Pennsylvania
Thanks Todd, we had a great time this past year.
wellsboro is wonderful. thanks for your nice video about food. It made me hungry
Our pleasure! As I said in the video, Wellsboro is a great example of small town America.
Another great video. Always look forward to watching them. Glad to see you atleast are seeing deer.
Thanks 👍 Eric, If we can get our timbering completed, we should start seeing more.
I enjoy all of your videos and especially the cabin trips. I think we can all say we enjoy the memories yall make and feel like we are all there with you every year. Can't wait for the next trip! Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and enjoy the holidays with one another.
Thanks Justin! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!🎄🎄
It’s is a very awesome pleasure to see how ur camp and all hunting family does and shows everyone else u are very right it’s not about the kill it’s the time at camp and everyone that gets to spend it with u and your hunting family big time I really enjoy watching every video u and you family does I really true love watching makes my day I used to work a lot up that way building bridges for almost 20 year done a lot of bridges on the north east exstention poconos berwick Allentown leihhighten Williamsport tiogia county lived out of a suite case for twenty yrs all but just wanted to say very awesome very beautiful country
I've been riding over those bridges for more than 60 years. I know that ride like the back of my hand. Glad you enjoyed and hopefully just relaxed for a bit. Seems like we have trouble doing that these days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Never many kills but lots of camp life which is great. Reminds me of our VA camp but with less deer. Keep up the good work WR!
No, we thought we may have a chance at the other farm this year, but proved uneventful. Many doe could have fallen, but I'd rather see them repopulate a little more. Thanks Scott!
@@whiterook85 , we harvest a lot of does each year to keep the the buck to do ratio closer to 50/50 as possible. It took a couple of years but really started paying off with more and bigger bucks being seen and harvested on our farm.
Not sure what it’s like in PA but in VA it works.
We killed 5 bucks and 11 does this year. Seems like a lot of does but only a small fraction of the population in reality.
Happy hunting!
Thinking about you today. Your dad's service and Sr. God bless you. I rest in listening
Thank you so much
Great video as always. We sit down and enjoy watching. You have given me some good ideas for our deer camp with the cooking and hunting camp lifestyle thanks again
Glad it could help Josh, we've cooked up some good stuff there. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
I always look forward to your deer camp videos - thanks for letting us come along! Looks like you guys had a great time, as always. I’m originally from Wilmington, DE (but living in the south now), so it’s fun to see my old “stomping grounds”. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching Eric, hope you enjoyed!
Hey just wanted to let you know I've just found you on the tube love all your videos so far can't wait for more
Welcome aboard Brian, thanks for the kind words! More to come.
another great Video ,just got up to go to work ,enjoying my Coffee and watching your Video ,thinking to myself how nice it would be to be at a hunt camp right now,LOL ,love the Video's thanks
Thanks very much, hope you enjoyed the coffee and the video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Love it. Amazing good work. Big thx
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video as usual, I love it and I hope to start my own Camp very soon.
Best of luck John on the Camp! Thanks and take care.
Good times, good friends. You're right, that's what it's all about. Your photography and production gets better every video. Love the 'struttin' up' intros and like how you showed each guy's rifle of choice this year. Had to chuckle when you forgot your boots. Is this a 'Trailslippa' challenge? :)
That brisket stew looked mighty good to me. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot Paul, had a pretty good time there this year. I had a few request to show what rifle we all use. Was a good way to put it in there. And yes, that was the "Trailslippa" challenge for sure. I didn't have to walk as much, just was a little cold. The wool socks really helped me make it through that one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
these vids are youtube gold rook! LGB! the Chairman ROCKS!!! Snacks is defeated!
Thanks Jacob, you hit the nail on the head with that. Snacks is now down to bargaining with Mike on who buys Tonys!
👍
@@thechairman7276 🤙🤟👊
that looks like a great spot on that beautiful field at about 36 minutes in. deer love corners of timber on fields. nice spot
Thanks, we are hoping we can return there next year. We now have a better understanding of the property now.
A long awaited video, and as always Tom another great camp video good food and good times the experience and the camaraderie mean more than the harvest to me also a nice tribute to your dear friend Senior Happy Holidays and be safe my friend
Glad you enjoyed John, from talking to a lot of people this shows your normal deer camp. We have a great time, and go home happy with or without a deer. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks Guy's for the video of your Pa.Deer 🏕 Camp,I really enjoyed the different meals that you guys had,the Philly Cheese,and the Smoked Brisket Stew looked awesome! I subscribed!
Thanks Nolan, the cheese steak hit the spot after being up there alone for a few days. Everything was good, even the stew! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@whiterook85 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from New Orleans!
Thanks for sharing your camp with us. That brisket looked outrageous bravo. Love the videos keep them common enjoy the rest of the season stay healthy and safe
Thank you for watching sir! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Always love your videos. I'm originally from PA and for the last 15-20 years my brothers and dad headed to deer camp in McKean County. Unfortunately we only managed to all be up there together once. One of my brothers and I recently retired out of the military and were going to make this journey more often but sone things have changed. But like you said it's the memories that count. We are not sure if we are going to continue this tradition, we lost our father to his battle with agent orange, just a few weeks ago. Kinda hard watching your video this year but it was definitely therapeutic. Keep them coming.
Thank you Michael, you brother, and your Dad for your Service to our great Country. Sorry to hear of your loss, it must be a difficult time for you and the family. My Dad didn't hunt, but I know what you mean, I had hunted with Sr. for 25 years or so before his passing. We trudged on the following year and I think it helped retelling old stories as we do every year. Take care sir!!
As always on of my favorite UA-cam videos of the year. Your deer camp reminds me of my deer camp in so many ways. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do Brad, hope you had some luck in your Camp this year.
After a long day at work I needed this. Always a treat to watch your rifle season videos. Stay safe and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you, glad it could relax you and take you away from the BS even for a short while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Love your stuff. I wish we had that weather down here in Louisiana. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do Adam, that touch of snow was pretty nice.
Seems like it's been a slow hunting season all around pa. Love your videos and follow ever single one. Good luck with the timbering, and can't wait for the outcome
Thanks Nate, I really haven't heard too much from PA yet. Not sure if it was the weather, or hunting pressure (lack of), etc. Looking forward to the logging and seeing what kind of change it will make there.
Waited all year for this one. Cracked open a cold one and ready to watch the video. Cheers
Thanks Steve, hope you enjoyed!
Love watching your life at deer camp! Very much like what my buddies and I do in Michigan. It's the time in camp that makes it fun, whether or not we get a deer!
I agree James, the older I get the more I realize that also.
Love the videos, appreciate you bringing us along, taking your own time out to do this for us to enjoy, all the best to you Rook and all the guys.
Thanks 👍Joseph, I like filming the craziness and bringing people along for the ride.
That stew though. Camp cook for the win this time! Now stop while you’re even. 🤣😉
Will have to throw another brisket at him and see if he can get it right. Could be time for a Bone in Rib Roast too.
Awesome video my friend. I understand buddy . I hunt a ground blind exclusively now. Love your videos and camp. I have a cabin and acerage in Luddington Mi. Also in the Upper Peninsula . 👍🏻💛🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Bell, always a good time, deer or no deer. Most likely the same at your camp. Good luck this year!
Thanks for documenting your 2021 hunting season at the deer camp. Good Times! Congrats to Shawn on his nice Delaware 8 point buck.
Was a great deer that Shawn got this year, glad I had my camera along. As you can tell I was pretty excited also, normally don't curse that much when the camera is going. Glad you came along with us too.
I would have done the same if my son shot an 8 point. Lol If you would ever be interested in doing a live stream someday let me know. It would be neat to hear some stories over the years at the cabin and the success in Delaware.
Seeing your deer camp video go up is part of my hunting season routine now. Great addition adding the firearm and caliber that the guys use. Great video as usual.
Thanks Ray, will keep doing the firearm/Cal in case someone switches up.
Yeah, that was pretty cool to see what everyone shoots, but what is a Remington Model 70 .270 that Camp Cook is shooting? I thought that he carried/shot a Remington 700 BDL .270? Maybe a typo, I love the Remington 700 BDL and the Remington ADL , great accurate rifles. I have several chambered in 30-06, 270, 243, 7mm-08, 308 and a custom Remington 700 ADL long action in .284 Winchester (very accurate). Too bad they don't make them like they used to. Love these videos WhiteRook85, keep them coming brother. 👍
Going to have to check that, just asked him what he had. There I go taking someone's word again. 😀
Great video. Keep them coming.
More to come!
Psyched!! It’s GO-TIME! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪view from my hotel room is the Kerry mountains. Deer central in Ireland. God bless and Merry Christmas.
Sounds great John, sounds like a great view there. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@whiterook85 merry Christmas Rook
Beautiful forest,loved the video.Retired walk & stalk hunter from Ala.You guys have fun and be safe.
Thanks James, walk and stalk can be really rewarding when you can harvest one that way. Take care in Alabama!
Nice to see you all again.
You too!
I look forward to this video every year! Thanks for bringing us along.
Our pleasure John, hope you had as good a time as we did.
Commenting from upper peninsula of Michigan , I love your videos , longtime watcher , one thing I miss about Shawn’s and yourself videos is the cigar and poker night at camp! 2022 let’s see a card game night !
We were planning on that this year. Chairman fell asleep just about right after dinner on Saturday.
@@whiterook85 HA! shocker !!!
That time again always look forward to these videos! Sean sure did bag a stud of a buck, glad to see some success its been the worst season for me in a long long time on tx public land. Thanks for the great entertainment as usual
Thanks! Was a great day for Shawn! Sorry to hear about TX, been a tough year for me also. 3 states and no bucks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Been looking fer video. Glad y'all started off with snow on the ground it makes fer better hunting. Deer camp always goes quick. As you mentioned it's about making memories and good times with friends and family. Glad you and sintax had some luck in Delaware. We were a couple guys short fer our 🦌 camp this year one was injured and the other was forced to work. Glad you guys had a safe and productive hunt. P.s. keep the videos coming um liked chairman's chant Let's go Brandon.
Thanks Aaron, like the snow also. You can see so much better, tracks, blood trail, etc. Sorry to hear your camp was a little short this year. Will be all the better for them next year when they can attend.
👍
Watch all your vids, but always waiting for this one! I love hunting while it’s snowing.
It's really nice up there when it snows. Shows off the lay of the land really nice. Now getting down our mountain road is a little scary. Hopefully I'll have the solo part out soon.
Great video as usual! Its all about having a good time and enjoying yourself!
Thanks Ernie, it sure is!
Great video as always Tom! Damn that stew looked delicious!!! Good times, looking forward to the spring trip!
Thanks Jeff, Spring Trip, haha, will be here before you know it. Six months. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@whiterook85 And to you and yours as well Sir!
Hey we appreciate you all picking up some of The Fallen! Cheers!
You are quite welcome! Thanks for doing this for our great Service men and women.
As always buddy great video and great times had by all. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. I sure enjoyed watching.
Thanks Mark! I'm still catching up on watching some videos, will have to check out how you and the family made out. Busy time of the year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Great video and glad to see all of the guys still got together. Shawn headed towards my camp. I’ll have to check out his video if post one.
Thanks! Shawn told me it was a little chilly on that trip. His video should be up next week or sooner.
Glad you had good time. I know where your camp and the farm are both good spots.
Like that farm area. Just something a little different, and the deer eat farm crops about all year long.
I look forward to these videos annually, hopefully I have a camp of
My own this year!
Good luck with getting your camp, memories for years to come.
Thank you for sharing! Great video.
Btw, 42:00 Totally agree
Thanks for watching!
👍
Congrats to Shawn on a really nice buck! Always love to see this one pop up! Looks like a great time by everyone. That brisket stew looked awesome. Camp cook did a great job on that one! Hopefully with the timber cutting the deer will have more browse to be on the mountains in the years up coming! Always a bummer when it comes to a close….looking forward to the Spring trip already! Looking forward to the fire chat.
Hey Tim, thanks again for everything. The stew, well, it was confusing. Shawn and I discussed he should have went for the brisket alone, or not smoked the meat. I gave it the 6.5 also. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun 2021. It was a bad year for deer where I hunt. Here in Jersey the black tongue disease was kinda bad . My one place went from a herd of 60 to 3. The rest died or moved out of the area because of it. Well good luck to you and the guys this year. Defend the 2nd. Your friend Dan , the Heavy Hitters deer club from Jersey.🗽🦅🇺🇸👍
Thanks Dan, we had a great time, more to come this year. Will see how the logging we did effects things, most likely wont start seeing improvement until next year. Sorry to hear about the black tongue, we had that back in DE about 8 years ago. Was as bad as you said. Hopefully some deer will move into your area this year. Good luck in 2022!
12 days off grid! Nice going Tom and crew. Better luck next year!
Was a pretty long time to be there, gets to you after a while. I said I don't think I can do it again, my wife told me to go. Do you think she's trying to tell me something?
@@whiterook85 Yepper, LOl, Well this past summer I was up our OG cabin for two days when the wife called and said she tested positive for covid. I stayed up there for 5 more nights alone and it was a tad lonely especially at dinner time. Curious how you handles washing up?
Thanks for sharing your trip was looking forward to the video.
Think you're right! During the cold months I heat water up in the kettle and just wash up. I did my hair over the empty trash can. Summer time we use the coleman shower bags. Also the Duke Cannon and Dude Showers are pretty good for getting cleaned up. Not as nice as a real shower, but during the winter, a lot warmer.
@@whiterook85 still,,, 12 days,, your a legend!
Thank you, thank you!!
I look forward to these videos! great focus on the deer camp experience! I will say one thing I cant watch your videos before I eat lol Keep the videos coming!!!
Thanks John, more to come over the next few months. Was a bit hot up there this summer.
@@whiterook85 cant wait ! its been a hot summer here as well
Gidday ole rooke!! When is the spring vid coming. I’ve been checking every day lol hope to hear from you soon. I myself am waiting to get to my camp to put up a new enclosed hunting hut I built.
Hello Devin, just got back today. So give me a few day, have some other things to do to catch up on. Hoping for Sunday or Monday evening (Eastern Time).
Been waiting for this video. Trying to watch at work and the wifi sucks!!! Guess I’ll watch tonight with a beer
Enjoy it with the beverage of your choice Jeff. Thanks!
Got my popcorn ready for this year patiently waiting
How about 6pm EST tonight!!! Hour and ten minutes long, get an extra large bag.
Great video,always are! Have a Great Holiday season...
Thanks Mark, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Congrats Shawn on your Del. Buck
My season was a lot of bucks, but only 2 maybe a third legal. All those bucks need at least another year and they will be wall hangers.
Great video as always, done a little different this year, I LIKE IT.
To you, your family, the crew at deer camp I want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS, and A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Until the spring trip GOD BLESS
Thanks Mick, that was a good one!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours also!
Hey Tom, excellent video as always. Love watching your crew enjoy hunting camp. Man, the meals you guys make absolutely make me drool...Even the brisket stew looked delicious.
Also, I Appreciate the shout out and the support you've given me and my channel. It's been great getting to know you over the years through your video, comment and Twitter.
Merry Christmas to you, Mrs Rook and the family.
Thanks Dan, everything was great. Keep up the good work on your channel Dan, looking great.
Twitter is a bit of my dark side, so take some of my replies to others with a grain of salt.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family!
Yay been watching and waiting for a new video from the gang. Thanks for the great video and memories Rook
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Love a deer camp with a bunch of guys.
Thanks James!
