Everything about this one was absolutely awesome and why I chomp at the bit to see your videos. Hands down one of the best channels out there brotha. The footage was as good as it gets with scenery like that too. Thanks for putting these together.
Dustin this is billy what’s up bro
@@bofa1330 Billy who?
@@dustinhoffman9843 Adams
What a target rich environment, I can only dream of seeing that many deer. My trigger finger is twitching, my will power would have failed. Thanks for sharing, good stuff.
Where have you been? I checked your channel yesterday to see if I'd missed anything. Happy to see the new content tonight, as you're an important voice in this game.
I was just gonna ask the same thing! I dig his content.
Been killing it with Spartan Forge!
Dude how is getting so close on the ground with a buck like that? And don’t tell me it’s the scentloc clothes. LoL
@@scorchedearth1894 it’s staying still and staying down wind of their travel corridor
@@JeremyReger I understand that but he’s on the ground. He can practically reach out and grab the damn thing. I’ve gotten close but not quite that close
That's 1 of the better videos where nothing gets shot. If u have that much activity in October & u leave it clean it's only going to get better. Sorry Sam missed out on the peak movement days.
The spot when you were on the ground and that buck came in i thought he was going to bed down in that thicket looked like he was in your lap!! Amazing footage
You are the reason I saddle hunt now hated it at first learned a ton rappel down now. Eastern outdoors helped a lot! You Shane Simpson and shawns outdoors are my favorite!
Insane amount of bucks right there, would have been difficult for me to pass a couple of them.
Glad to see you posting again. I have watched your videos for a long long time and taken so much knowledge from your channel. Thanks for everything!
Cool footage. Reminds me of the terrain I used to hunt. Those deer learn to survive where guys can’t hang stands! Thanks for sharing
Lots of the locals in that area like to claim “rights” Had one tell me that I should check in down the road, lol. Dude waited for me to come out one afternoon… Across the road, had a guy follow me in with his bird dog and a shotgun one evening, shooting… Some people just don’t play nice
Deer Hunting Reality Show
This is one of the best deer hunting videos I've seen. The presentation from you speaking through the video quality is what, I believe, the majority of deer hunter's experience from the East Coast to the Mississippi River. Watching your video took me back to last week in my woods.
Thank You
Good to see you back at it Garrett
This IS the most "realistic" deer hu ting video I have ever watched !
As usual - top quality content. You really capture the excitement of the rut with this video. That's hard to do. Really missed seeing you on here, but it was worth the wait. Hope we keep seeing more.
Nice seeing the elk doing good.... I practice my calling in the Clam lake area since it's only an hour away from me.... I have UCKs in my back 40 that always follow my trail when I go back there. I don't feed them or anything so, they're not used to me in that sense.... But they follow me nearly to my yards edge. Crazy
Wow, you were way up north, cool to see the elk.
I learn a lot from your videos! love your filming style! You give me the confidence to self film from the ground when I can't find a tree for my saddle.
Fantastic footage. Hanging out in that thick cover all day takes discipline and confidence. Good stuff!
A lot of great footage. One of those bucks I couldn't pass up.
Love your videos. A purest you are....
Great video. I also bowhunt Northern WI public, though a bit east of you, and I know how tough it can be. Passing up that 2.5 year old 8 couldn't have been easy. We need more hunters willing to do this to improve the age class of the bucks.
Good luck this fall!
So glad to see you guys again. Ghillie up and face paint kids! Ghillies allow way more movement on the ground! Great footage. The licking branch is a spot that will be historic the rest of your days. You e found the greatest deer sign of all. That can be hunted anytime any phase of the rut. I hope you camera ed it . The cool thing is the biggest of the whole area knows about it as does every other deer in the woods. So cool!!!!!! Great video! Keep them coming! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks! Lots to learn from your videos. I tried your one-stick climbing method with success this year.
That was more deer than I've seen all season. Looked pretty fun!
Great video, amazing up close encounters.
Excellent video, great job.
You found one heck of a honey hole! Exciting video! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see you are back in the woods! We missed you! Great footage as usual!
Great video! Glad to see you and sam back!
Glad to see your back at it !
Awesome footage so cool to see.
Thank you for the content keep up the great work.
See more deer in 1 day than i see in a whole season in PA.
Everyone take a drink for every camo pattern Garret wears in a video #DIYDrinkingGame
Lol
Camo is like fishing lures. They only have to catch the fisherman. My standing joke is that I bought the perfect camo once. I put it in the closet and was never able to find it again.
Welcome back.
Nice show! Well Done! Just found it, I'll be looking for more, Great job.
Good to see you back! Awesome rut footage.
Way to go Sam. As many deer that you two see you will find a better one.
I'm not sure what you were looking for to pass up some of those bucks! But thanks for sharing the content. Love it!
Awesome video buddy keep up the great work!
Guys.. stay safe, OK 👍 it's kind of chilled.
Enjoyed the video. Appreciate your suggestions and tactics for big woods public land hunters. TY
Thanks for sharing your hunts. I thoroughly enjoy them and learn a lot from each of them. Continue creating great videos and content!
Great footage Garrett! Good action and excitement. Keep at it bro.
Your skills are impressive, Obi Wan!
Love your channel, great footage and thanks for the hard word for our entertainment!
Great video as always. That's a pretty good spot you found! Good luck for the rest of the season
Thanks for sharing. I would have shot that 8 pointer you had close. Wish Sam was with you on that one. God bless you guys
Looks like you’re still shooting with the EZV Sight. I’m guessing you still like it? Debating whether to get one myself.
Yea it's a good option to try. Different people will have different preferences once they try and compare with pins. For hunting, I haven't had any issues and have made nothing but great shots on deer. All have been under 30 yards though. At the longer ranges, I still prefer to range and use the tick marks. And from that perspective pins would be better and less clutter. Garmin I've been pretty fond of as well and have strictly been more precise with. But its also not legal in all the states I hunt and has the possibility of more issues and is heavy.
Great videography. You must really work with the deer to get their choreography down so well. Excellent and exciting footage. Good luck with the remainder of your season.
What are you using as a bow stand for ground hunting?
I have sometimes used the Mathews Engage limb legs, but they don't work well on uneven ground. I've also rested the bow on my lap and used a small strap on bow hook on small saplings or trees that I'm using as front cover.
Thanks for the update Garrett! Hi Sam. Been getting on some good bucks. Good luck
Hey buckslayer, whats the deal with the message about receiving your parcel? I got something similar this morning, about chosen for a giveaway... figure its just a crap hack, but wanted your input! Thanks!
@Josh Poland yes they are scams. Got one on a comment on gritty the other day and brian confirmed it wasnt from him
Great footage! That one buck near licking branch sure looked like a good one? Wasn't some footage of a cow elk? What state? Wisc or MN? Esp for elk pic? Thx
I always enjoy your content and wish there was more!
Awesome experience and video! I had one walk in behind me on my scent trail on Halloween. Took me so off guard. Busted me at 10 yards
Wow! What a great video and man, you know deer!!! Great stuff as always!!
Awesome sit! You had the wind, & your scent control must have been good. Great job broski!
You saw some decent size bucks, and I’m glad you didn’t last up an 8 point to tag a spike.
Great camera work and editing!
Would like to see an update on your climbing method. Currently I’m using wild edge with knaider swaider aiders but contemplating switching/making set of sticks.
May have a scammer commenting on your pages my friend. Hope you were able to get after some turkeys this season. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Great spot ya have there. You saw more deer in 1 day than I saw 6 days shotgun hunting in Ilinoos. Was terrible this year.
What state are you hunting in this vid?
Thorallly enjoyed the video. When that young 8 point came trotting in under you did he grunt at all? I thought I heard him grunt. Love the footage of the young 8 making a scrape then not long after that spike buck working the same scrape. Good stuff!
Awesome hunts with a lot of action! What camera/lens are you using? And do you use the same gear for self filming? I know self filming with a DSLR can be tricky.
I have been filming with the Sony A7sIII and a Tamron 28-200 lens. It's definitely not as user friendly for self filming. The low light is pretty good, as is the quality as long as you hit the focus right. I also use an Insta360 One X2 for some of the 2nd angle shots. I used the DJI pocket 2 for some clips in the first hunt.
nothing better than hunting on the ground
I like your videos. Wish you would share approximately where you hunt and the month/day to make it more interesting.
I've been hunting from the ground for 24 years since I fell breaking my back. I've had a big nine point about 5 feet from me while I hid behind a cedar tree. He actually seen my boots under the tree. Had no chance to draw my bow.
Keep those coming guys
Such a solid video! I'm sure there was a TON of work that went into picking those few prime locations. Any chance you're willing to say what date you had the buck parade on? Did you have a camera in that location and if so was that just the magic day or was it a consistent spot? The scrape and licking branch looked somewhat unassuming, and something most guys wouldn't take a second look at.
Oct 31 was one of the better days I believe. Some of that footage was across multiple sits in the same tree. I had a camera in thar area and it's good sort of throughout that time period but sporadic in terms of individual bucks. I find a lot of those scrape areas just by finding a licking branch in a good area even if the ground isn't pawed up and they can be really good.
Thanks for sharing. Are you still using the Ezy V sight. If so how is it in low light situations? Thanks again
Great footage, stay after them.
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen. Loved that evening hunt. It’s like all the bucks were “checking in” for the day by visiting that licking branch. Assuming there was a scrape there too?
Yes. Sometimes they've heavily paw away the fresh leaves, but many deer just hit the licking branch. Some just go downwind to scent check the scrape from a distance too
Great footage. Always enjoy
Great footage
Some pretty cool footage!! 👍🏼
Great share,,, I'm assuming these are your rut hunts all rolled into one...Dating them would be nice just to drive in our heads when the best times are. Was that a Wisconsin elk ? It's a busy time. Stay out hunted. Edit in the winter. We still will enjoy. More time to watch for us out hunting.. thanks for keeping it real . Good luck to Sam and yourself.
Love your videos, you’ve helped me a lot with all aspects of hunting (climbing, scouting, & patience). I was wondering what you use to hold your bow while ground hunting?
Thanks
Stay Safe.
I have used a number of things. I have used the limb legs from mathews. I've used a normal hys strap or bow hook if I've got a tree or sapling in front of me. If on a stool, I often will just lay the bow on my lap. Ideally, it can be positioned in front of your face to where you can raise your hand up, and draw back with as minimal movement or your body and the bow as possible, so holding the bow vertical does tend to make more sense.
What state are you hunting? You definitely found some quality spots. Tons of bucks at your tree sit. Wow!
How do you like filming with the Insta360 one R vs the One X2? I shoot and film hunting and video with the One R I love it over all. Just wish you could zoom better. Would like to know your thoughts. Cheers and keep up the good work!
The thing I like about the One X2 is the One-touch record option, which is quicker. Not sure why they haven't added it to the One R. The One R can do loop mode, but I've had reliability issues with that function.
@@DIYSportsman I have had the same issue with the One R on loop mode but not recently. Have been looking into the Go 2 for walking up to a deer and other shots like that. I have the GPS remote and thought that would work semi close to the instant record, but it make a beep every time you turn it on and you can’t shut it off. Is the X2 silent and how is battery life in cold weather?
what state was that? nice cow elk! & a true "licking branch" How many different bucks? nice video
Hey great video. Do you put any scents in those scrapes/branch ? Thanks!
There were some scrapes I'd tried putting some synthetic forehead gland on the licking branch though not on any of the ones in this video. They were all natural. So far I haven't seen much of a difference in scent vs no scent. It might make a bigger difference when making a mock scrape vs hunting over ones you find already there.
I practice some pretty extreme scent control. Always looking to exchange new ideas. I see you wearing the scentlok. Given how you approach everything else I’m sure there’s more behind your process?
This is the first year I've even sort of attempted any kind of scent control. So I've been keeping detailed notes on deer reactions and what I had done that day. For instance, was I wearing scentlok dropdown facemask, non-air permeable and/or scentlok outer layers? Rubber boots? Did I wipe down my camera gear, bow, and sticks with a scent free wipe? Did I rinse my mouth and gargle with closys? Was I wearing scentlok for any vegetation I brushed up against or touched on the access? And then I also took notes like when Sam and I were sitting together, since she did nothing except for the rubber boots. And I have the years' worth of prior experiences to compare against too. So far of well over a dozen individually separate deer that have walked on or over my scent trail, I've observed zero reaction. When they get downwind of me in a tree or on the ground, they still usually react. If they're inside of 15 yards, they usually trot back to where they cake from. If they're further, I've seen them flick their tail and keep walking and feeding. In all of the cases where I've gotten busted, there's usually at least one thing where I can say "well I could have done this too..." so I've yet to confirm if going full bore all-in would give me enough confidence to set up where I know a deer will be downwind before I'll get a shot opportunity.
Could you please tell me what brand came your using??? They walk right padd you and don't see you. That 8 point was driving me crazy walking under you lol. Also what do you use to hide your scent
I used a mixture of mostly Thlete and Scentlok (their Terra Gila pattern) though I think having the right setup and good front/back cover and knowing when to move is more important than the pattern itself. Generally I break it up into high contrast patterns which work great in a tree or with snow. Or low contrast patterns where you have just brush or ground behind you. For scent, I wore rubber or eva boots, usually accessed with scentlok pants and gloves. Avoided touching anything if at all possible (sometimes nothing you can do) and then would still set up with the wind and thermals in my favor. But I'd also be wearing a drop down scentlok facemask, and either scentlok, Thlete, or Sitka outer layers with a windproof laminate. I'd still have deer react if they got downwind on the ground. But sometimes it would be a "mild" reaction considering how close they were. If deer were 30 yards and I was up in a tree, on occasion I'd see them stop and sniff for a bit, then go back to what they were doing.
Great camera work.you must have a quality camera
Cool video man! Bummer u couldn't shoot the dandy!!
Minnesota or Wisconsin? Never mind northeast Wisconsin has elk so I’m guessing your hunting in Wisconsin.
Northern Minnesota has a herd as well. Warroad area
Great footage of whitetail! And selfcontrol it will be nice to see what some of those bucks will look like in a year or two. Do you shoot some doe for meat or just big bucks?
We shoot does also, two so far this year and will probably take a couple more. And some of those deer I would have definitely been happy with on shorter out of state trips. But this place I have invested a lot of time into and don't mind holding out.
I see you have all scent lok you think it makes a difference?
It may help. It's tough to say. I definitely had instances where deer smelled me on the ground at close range. I also had other scenarios where I was up in a tree and deer 30 yards down wind stopped and picked their nose up for a bit, then eventually went back to what they were doing. Every scenario is different, so without a control it's tough to say how they'd have reacted with normal clothes. I've definitely also had instances over the years where deer appeared to be in my line of scent in normal clothes but didn't really react.
Nice footage
Good action on your hunts!
Awesome video 👍
The one back in the brush was huge. Did he spot you?
No those two bucks were hounding a doe through that thicket. That was the only thing on his mind. The smaller one was well within shooting range and I had hope the other one would follow.
@@DIYSportsman he was huge man you were right in there , I've had a tough season, Ehd took a lot of our deer.
Awesome video! Now, I'm going to need you to drop me some coordinates to your spots, thank you very much! ;)
What kind of seat do you use for your ground hunts? I toted a bucket around this season and used that a few times, but looking for something quieter, less bulky and more comfortable (if possible).
There's a cheap folding tripod stool from BassPro/Cabelas that I've used. Pretty comfy and easy to pack. However you can't adjust the legs for uneven ground. I have an old Travel Chair brand one that's similar but has a backrest and adjustable legs. That ones nice though more awkward to pack. Those types of chairs work well if you have good ground cover like ferns, logs, grass, etc. But you're too high up for bare ground. If hunting on bare ground I like to sit flat on the ground or a small pad like turkey hunting.
@@DIYSportsman thanks Garrett! Keep the great content coming!
What’s that grey thing attached to the left side of your bow?
It's a shock mount for an action camera.
Awesome video
Good spot yu have 😮
You need to trim that brush back a bit, they wont mind.
I wish I could! There are rules dictating what we're allowed to cut here. For instance, you can trim small brances on the tree you're hunting out of flush with the trunk, but you aren't allowed to cut shooting lanes. I think the intent is to prevent guys from mowing out big lanes for rifle hunting. Sometimes people around here will tie branches out of the way with paracord, but in clearcut regrowth it seems there's only so much we can do, and it's probably a big reason why they feel comfortable there.
Exciting man
My heart would be rushing on all them deers
what do you think of scent loc so far? I dont remember you wearing it past years?
This is my first year playing around with it. I'll be doing videos on the garment quality, pros and cons. And then in parallel I'm collecting notes on all of my observations to provide anecdotal insight on the differences in reactions I see using scent control vs no scent control.
But in general I do think there is some benefit I see in regards to the scent control from a ground scent perspective and when some of the deer do slip downwind. I'm a big fan of the windbrace jacket. Some of the other pieces I have some likes and dislikes in comparison to other non-activated carbon brands
What were you thinking at 15.88 I would of shot
If I'd have gotten better footage of the first one it'd be easier to understand why. Many other tags/states I'd have definitely shot that deer.
On your ground hunts, next time bring a small folding shovel and dig down a bit where your sitting. Even six inches is enough to lower profile and to have something to dip down Into to let deer pass
I like that idea. Someone else had mentioned it to me too a few weeks back. I'll just need to run it by the local warden to see if it's allowed.
