We are loosing hunting country faster than we can gain more so where will we be in ten years? On this Night Crew episode we will discuss the ever changing and sprawling metroplex and how it is impacting our surroundings.

Chris, you have the most awesome voice to narrate these videos! Thank you for your production magic! Cheers from North Dakota!
Perfect voice indeed.....Reminds me of the narrator for "The Waltons"
Once again you Guys are Spot On. We are in the process of getting ready to move from my childhood State of Illinois because of the crime, taxes and much more. At 62 my Wife and I are going to move to a very small town in Northwest Tennessee next month. I wish you Guys the best.
I am sorry to hear this. 😥
I love northwest TN up around Paris, TN. Really close to KY Lake which is absolutely beautiful.
Safe travels
Usually this is the route to quite peacefulness, unfortunately your going to learn this isn't the 50's moving to a small town no longer guarantees anything. Your about to see drug use, crime, in these small towns, good luck to you and I'm not trying to discourage you either. Just better have your eyes open.
Welcome to Tennessee I retired from NY state n moved to Tennessee 6 yrs ago best move I made n now 63 yrs old again welcome
“Well I can see the Concrete a slowly creeping, Lord take me and mine before that comes” Ronnie Van zant was right away back in 1976 ❤️🏴
You hit the nail on the head, this really hits close to home. I've seen it happen at a rate that is just unstoppable. My old hunting grounds just gone, where I have so many memories of my first hunts with my dad and grandpa. What's left? cookie cutter houses with no souls, suburban wasteland. Breaks my heart.
I have always been saddened from the time I was a kid 50+ years ago. I would hear old timers talk about this 1200 acres or that 200 acres that used to be one big timber. So far I have been lucky living out in the sticks. Tears flowed when I watched this. Chris you are a true artist in your video scripting and production. Every year I see patches of timber being dozed.. all for another dollar. I farm and could doze a lot off and make more money, but the wild is worth more to my soul than dollars. I have spent my life trying to make my kids "undeserving sons and daughters" and give them a love for the outdoors. Keep up the good work Chris. I truly identify with your pain. Truly awesome productions.
I couldn't stand the Westcoast anymore and moved to the south 2 years ago. It was the best decision I've ever made. I traded my concrete jungle for trees and dirt. Being in a rural area for this small amount of time has helped me grow and find peace. Cheers night crew.
Enjoy it while you can. ALL of your former neighbors will be joining you shortly.
I live in the South and it’s as urban as can be. I love it, I don’t like the country.
Texas has too much dividable private land ... Big ranches and large acreage land packages should be banned from dividing and selling out to developers....
I'm sad to say, we have the very same problem here in the UK. I could bang on about for ages but it would be like pushing water up hill.
Keep the faith & just crack on, that's about all we can do !
*What part of living on an ISLAND don't you get?*
Sad but true. Same thing is happening to us in Arizona.
Mannnn, this one hit right at home for us. We are all too familiar with what you are going through here in Florida. Progress is coming like a freight train. Me and my brother are holding on to the 100 acres that has been in the family for generations. Me and my brother are the only ones left that care about it. We just bought a 20 acre parcel of it that my uncle was selling, we just couldn’t stand to lose a piece of it. It was my grandpas dream to see his family living on the land he worked his fingers to the bone on. And I hope to pass it down to my children one day. Progress is coming, we can’t stop it. Just wonder when the Lord is going to say enough is enough and calls us home.
@@NightCrew739 so is it true you guys really make love to goats over there?
I use to hunt south Florida as a kid 50 years ago and I’ve seen what some call progress just eat up all of nature.
I remember when I was a kid in the late 90's/early 00's our little town was less than 10,000, now there are 100k+ homes and all the farms are gone..
You guys produce the best videos and I have a lot of respect for you. I agree with your concerns. I have another take on all the development. It further reduces the realm of nature that these animals and their prey depend on. Thus, causing a more concentrated area with less and less food, water, shelter, etc. for them all. I hate seeing animals' habitats being destroyed by expanding cities and their development.
Great photography, great shooting and great respect for the animals being shot. Thank you and blessings from Australia.
I feel you, personally!
Born in McKinney, teen years in Allen, and now in Sachse. Can't seem to escape it!
Feel like I have to go to Montana to get away. Smh...
Wife and I had a cattle ranch for 20+ years 25 miles from a city. The growth was like the tide coming in no more antelope, deer or any other wildlife just coyotes and people.
Really appreciate what’s you guys do brother! This story is the reality for so many like us.
At least you have land on 360 degrees of you. Here in Florida we’re all squeezed between the Ocean and Everglades down south, and oceans, rivers, lakes, and swamps everywhere else.
Exactly. So sad dealing with this right now with the family farm. All siblings just want the money from the sale and i can't buy it on my own. 453 acres of paradise. Its gonna be the death of me.
I build homes, not like this though....
Whats always bothered me is where are these people getting this money from? Its crazy. I don't know how you afford building a new home in 2023 and pay the taxes and still have 60-80k trucks and SUVs. Even buying those cookie cutters are crazy...
Love the vids....
Happen me here in EIRE [IRELAND] .
30 years ago we used to hunt a place called Butlers for red fox of a sunday morning with a few beagles and leggy terriors . Average 6 foxes around that pig farm every second sunday . Shopping mall there not and houses 15 miles past it . What going to happen when all the land runs out
Man, that sucks so bad!!!! I was just telling my wife last night that you guys haven't posted a video in a while, now I know why! I'm sorry guys!!!! It's a shame that the kids of these farmers don't keep the farm alive, it's happening in Illinois too, they just see dollar signs when they see the land. The farmers did too, just in a different way!
Great video guys. The growth here, in TN, is just depressing. California and New England keeps sending more and more people our way and the rolling green hills and farm land is quickly becoming subdivisions. My wife and I bought our small farms to be away from it all, but it all has found us again. Our property has doubled in price in just 3 years and still climbing.
And unfortunately those from Commiefornia and New England bring their blue politics with them.😢
3.35 now you KNOW how the native american,s felt. Sticks in your craw dosent it . I feel for you Brother😢
As a lifetime Colorado native that grew up in a very small sw town I’m in the same boat brother, droves and droves of out-of-staters move because they don’t like where they came from. But they slowly turn into the place where they came from, instead of adjusting to the way of life. Colorado had become absolutely destroyed especially for a hunter and outdoorsman.
Absolutely beautifully captured .. lovely content vloggs documentary, keep up a great work .. appreciate most of your videos adventures, Merci from Mtl Cdn
This has happened all around central pa. And it's always farm fields here what ashame ...
It’s not just there I’m in Northwestern North Carolina and it’s crazy at how i could describe the same situations happening here as well … we’ve lost many places to selling or houses being built .
Same here, sub divisions and solar fields. I just bought an iray and the very next day found out that 2000 acres of my best coyote permission is going to be a solar farm. This video really hits home for me!
You guys are awesome. Very well said!
Well done!!
All I can do is beg for your southern hospitality to accept one more import from the communist state of Washington,(formerly, the evergreen State), that has the same values ethics , and God given rights? 6 more years on the fire department and we are headed South to be with anyone that will accept us. I've posted twice in my life and have no social media, but this video hit home! Greetings from the Eastern red side.
Love y'all?
We are seeing the same things in northern MICHIGAN, maybe it is a good thing that as many golf courses that are going in the deer ranches and hunting clubs are keeping up, less homes.
ĺiving in centeral ohio, I have ang going through the same thing. housing developments stand where I once hunted pheasants, rabbits, deer, and coyotes. I am feeling the same pain. my hunting spots have been swallowed up, and all I have is an old man's memories.. DW.
You guys are my favourite killers...love from.England.
South Carolina is the same way. People keep moving in state, in droves. South Carolina is full. I wish they would stay away!
I am so sorry; however, the Coyotes will stay and find a place to hide right in that neighborhood. And when some mommas baby gets snatched....
Just like another dollar general pops up here in Kentucky every week
Как всегда, отлично 👍
Sweet video love it! I feel y'all's pain. I live in Michigan and ain't it funny about 10 years ago literally no one did it by me. Now everyone and they're brother are out calling. And educating a lot of them!
Same here in the UK Chris. The houses are only a couple of miles away from our best ground and they keep putting up more nasty little boxes and the pasture disapears inch by inch.😞
Believe or not, we used to go shooting in the Malibu hills. Like your area, it's long gone. We left the states, but most of my friends went to Tennessee or other places. The same thing is happening there now.
Welcome to Baiden's Amerika.
Welcome to the club. Place I deer hunted as a kid, now has a multi-million dollar high school one of my boys just graduated from 2 years ago. Place we dove hunted is now a 6 lane highway. All the hunting spots from my childhood have been swallowed up over the years.
There is still land farther out if you want to travel further away We are traveling an hour out of the city to get to the gravy spots Keep on Hunting man
Everything you said is exactly what I've gone through. I live in what used to be a small town south of Tampa. I used to love this place but now I can't stand it. It's like living in the city now. Time to go. I feel you.
I hunt on about 200000 acres here in Australia. No chance of development in my area. Mainly pigs, wild dogs, cats. I feel so bad for you boys losing your areas. Keep positive. Cheers n beers
The greatest hope should be they complete the construction. The worst outcome is partial development then contractor bankruptcy. Then, you're left with a worse scar than just a Walmart.
Great episode. on another note, all that new urban sprawle does create habitat for coyotes. I spend a considerable amount of time removing coyotes from inside city limits of several cities within the dfw metroplex. That new walmart may be a great place to call coyotes in the future!
Yep. I'm right there with ya. Damn shame. Unfortunately, the only way to get around it, is to move.
Bought a house 20 years ago... 25 miles from a large city. Now I'm in the 'burbs and hating every minute of the crime, concrete, and congestion that came with it.
Retiring this year, selling the house and property... just gotta figure out where to buy to be safe from this ever-expanding madness?
I'd live in a shack, provided it's surrounded by acres of NOTHING !!
Y'all have a great channel, hopefully, you find a solution and keep doin' what you're doin' !!
Best of Luck to you.
I live in KY, and solar panel farms are beginning to eat up land like crazy. Just the same as you, old farmers are dying out and the children/family are jumping on the bandwagon and leasing up farms. So sad.
The same way here in Alabama people moving in from everywhere to get away from crime and then trying to change us to what they moved away from. Boy does that SUCK!!!
Dude, that really sucks.
Its everywhere. We're putting in utilities all over SE Oklahoma and SW Arkansas to build rent cabins and condos, and its 90% DFW money. The metroplex is a plague
That's the story where I live too! We used to ride our bikes in the hills & at the local BMX track ...now those hills are just houses & the BMX track is apartments! And the kids now have nowhere to enjoy like I remember enjoying my younger years! It's just too bad!
just come to Alaska....its like 95% public land! I'd say Alaska is the BEST state for Hunters!
Wise words...
So many places that we ran trap lines, dug ginseng hunted mushrooms and hunted reds when my grandma was in this earth are now cities it’s hard to believe.
We're y'all from ? Awesome videos n watch on the outdoor channel also
Disclaimer-No animals were harmed in the making of this video
My home town here in AZ has grown so much its sickening to me. I feel your pain. Some call it progress, but not me.
I feel your pain… I’m a 3 gen Floridian
TOP NOTCH COMMENTARY
Texas so crowded now traffic anywhere you go is crazy. Stuff being built everywhere. Animal habitat destroyed by the thousands of acres. It's pitiful. So sad to see.
I fell your pain. I have transplanted from a beautiful rural area in NC to a pretty rural area in N. Lakeland Fl. In the 19 years that I have been here this place has grown over ten fold and is getting even worse because of the real estate prices. Although I have enjoyed not having to drive 30 miles to grocery shop or a good restaurant I am so ready to move back to a rural area, but prices are really crazy right now.
This is the sad truth for a lot of Americans now there is no way to stop “progress” and it’s painful to watch I just tore out a power line today to a property that held an immense amount of history just for 300 houses to be built on the 80 acres painful doesn’t even start to cover it walked down to one of the fields and counted 29 deer before they scattered and I could no longer count
here in wisconsin its the same way taking our farm land away and putting up houses 8 feet apart from another VERIDIAN homes and tim o'brien are buying up thousands of acres every year.:(:(
I've called Texas home for 53 years, but will be leaving this year. The Texas I knew no longer exists, not since the great California exodus began.
get on the city and county boards/councils and implement a few steps. One no HOA subdivisions, or areas allowed 2 no developer bought land can be divided into parcels with must use builder contracts and 3 all land sold to developers must receive a vote prior to any multi-home or apartments can be built after purchase and if not developed within 1.5 yrs, sold at purchased market value in no more than X number of parcels to non-developers/investors. if you dont start rules that discourage subdivisions they will take over. Edit: BTW im with ya over in another Texoma town.
So true and so sad.
Yeah, here in Pennsylvania we have the same thing going on big thing where I’m at all they do is keep putting up warehouses losing all kinds of places to hunt. The sad part is even the people with land won’t let us hunt there anymore.
Hunted the same deer lease for 24 years my son and grandson killed their first deer there. Now it’s gone disappeared like a vapor. Feel your pain brother.
One day Dallas and Houston will meet. I grew up in New Orleans one it and Baton Rouge will join together. All those little farms and acres will be gone. Sad so sad for the Hunter.
Been happening here in Virginia for the better part of 3 decades now. It’s astonishing how much land has been converted to concrete and asphalt. Prime deer hunting habitat is no longer. It’s the way of the world now. Enjoy it while you can. It won’t be forever
It's car dependence and Texas is one of the worst offenders. Absolutely one of the most inefficient uses of land. Strong Towns is a great organization to learn the nature of this problem and how to deal with it at a grassroots level
And our forefathers thought the same thing sadly and you will find yourself saying back in the good old days just like our ancestors did it’s the way of the world sadly.
"Nothing lasts forever..." This video came close.
It really sucks how the children of late farmers just sell the land instead of continuing the dream their parents had. That's one reason I'm glad I was raised on a farm; I get to learn the value of this life and how it is lived.
I feel this on a personal level. My grandfather and father died. They had land in the Colorado mountains near Fairplay. The ownership went to my aunt and uncle, my sister and myself. I was the only one who wanted to keep the property because I was the only one who saw it for what it truly was. Freedom. Everyone else in my family would rather live on top of each other like rats. Living in putrid, disgusting Democrat cities. They sold my property out from under me and I only got a few thousand measley dollars. Now I have nothing left but my guns I bought with that money. The only thing left of my freedom.
Wonderful hilly tree covered land just SW of Ft Worth. You should be able to make good money on your existing place and move. They can't turn all of Texas into suburbia.
Come to Raton Nm their sea of prairies here.
Florida is the same.. i live in the country but the city is getting closer..
These people clear out and build homes then complain the wild hogs are coming back and tearing up their front yards because the game has no where to go..
All you can do is move..
It is definitely sad to see. Currently a 181 acre chunk near me is being developed for industrial I believe. We have empty factories and buildings that I feel could be utilized, instead they just keep spreading out and basically leaving a void in the city of empty buildings that are wasting away.
You can either deal with the change, buy alot of land yourselves to always have a place to hunt or you could move to a more remote area and hopefully have more time to enjoy it there before this happens again.
It happened here. Places that I hunted deer, predators and small game are covered with housing tracts. Yes, we even have a Walmart on this land :(
What thermal monocular do you use for scanning while driving?
All in the name of Progress...
hello friends! make a video about your equipment and equipment for hunting and filming . you have a lot to learn from many beginners and not only hunters !!!!!
What is a typical range for night white light shooting? I see you are also using thermal too. Great VIDS
The Coyotes will adapt to it. You can too. Night bow hunting. Thermal Cross bows...
Im sorry DFW is destroying your hunting grounds! I love living in Dallas! I just wish it didn't over grow
You know the fact that we’re losing prizes hunting ground is not good but the fact we’re all for losing prized agricultural land is also not good because as it stands there’s less agricultural land than their is food we are producing less and less food every year.
You know that something needs to be done it’s not just this problem it’s the food crisis and lack agricultural land I’m literally crying for some people that prize hunting land that we’re losing is their livelihood that’s what they used to eat and survive.
make the move to South Dakota "the Coyote State" I'm a builder and balance hunting and growth well. love the content
Everytime i drive up to van alstyne, howe etc i get upset that people are selling so much land for these cookie cutter houses
Leave it to development to destroy good things, its all about money in the pocket, without reguard to heritage and sweet country life. What a disgusting pitty. My hats off to you fellers.
Try living within 8 hours of 80% of the US population. I-70 / I-81 corridor has had properties for sale for decades that are now getting big boxes built so perhaps someday a company will lease them. 5 Amazon warehouses in Hagerstown MD, 5...
What scan tool are you using when looking out your car window?
The only way you can get a way from it. Is to move to a place like Alaska.
Building developments to house all the people that are going to comply with the one world government. No more free space , hunting, going to outdoor sport events. Only the tip of the iceberg.
The cat video makers and the Furries online are never going to stop.
@18:50 trust me, west texas is getting bought up too. el paso has grown into las cruces almost entirely now, it's inevitable they start building east into hudspeth county too.
Talking about it makes me sad and sick to my stomach. All of these houses being built overnight. It's so sad to see it go.
We need these farmers and land owner to stop selling the land and instead pass on this land to their family. Its happening in Florida as we speak. The only land left is current farms and small preserves that's owned by the state.
