As a mountaineering hunter myself, this is spot on. Giants do exist, but they are tough deer and it requires tough hunting. It's like hunting an entirely different type of whitetail. Here in the mountains, deer are hard to spot over any type of longer distance, and they are much more cautious as well. I'd love to see more videos on this guy or what he's killed.
Glad to be able to call David my friend. You won’t find a better guy than him!
Enjoy while young, I'm 40 and I know that some people will say 40 is young. But I chased Mature Whitetails all over the Danielle boone NF, still do. But my knees don't work as well as they did 10 Years ago. I was always by myself, Now my son who is 15 goes with me. Nobody was crazy enough to climb the hills, or take the hikes I do or did. Lookin back on some of the spots I got into by myself, there's no way I would have been able to drag a deer out. But then again, when faced with a challenge you adapt and overcome. Great video, I'm glad there are still a few guy's out there like me, who aren't just playing video games at the house.
Living here in eastern KY nine years now, love the mountains & hunting Daniel Boone National Forest this year... wouldn't trade it! By the way, I'm 60... 🙂
I'm 69 and have hunted mountain bucks for 40 years....I'm still at it. I go a bit slower, which has actually been better...but still humping the mountains. I think hunting mountains keeps you young and strong! Keep digging!
Monsters live in the mountains. Been chasing them for over 30 years. I’ve been blessed enough to bring several home. They’re smarter than any flatland deer.
Good video. I’d like to see more of this quality showcasing hunting in Appalachia, especially on public lands.
Wow...This one was well worth the watch...Ive hunted GA all my life and to us the only big deer is midwest or "Iowa". So to us, we have the least amount of knowledge of where the big deer are. There are big deer everywhere. GA, MS, AL, AR, VA, NC, TN...and WV....They are just where the people aint....
You've got it right...took me many years just to kill a 10 pointer that was around 120" class. I've killed many deer in the last 30 years and hardly ever made a shot over 50 yards...the woods are so thick and steep in North Georgia you are lucky to be able to see over 30-50 yards.
My homeland!!! Nothing will ever top this..
I've hunted with Dave and you'll never meet a more authentic guy. Great work on this piece, hope to see more!
What’s Dave’s last name?
@@stevemartic6757 Dave Miller
Got it thank you very much!!!
I"ve hunted the KY Appalachian Mountains all my life. It's not for the faint of heart, buts it's a hunt that will never be compared to another. Very rewarding when consistent.
Privileged to call David friend. This film is the raw truth about him and our state. Love it!
Where can I get in touch with him?
Thank you 🙏
A fine example of a true Mountaineer. The bow hunting only counties hold world class deer if like to work hard and earn them.
Working hard and earning them in the bow only counties now means riding an atv to within sight of your tree. That's not an exaggeration, I live in a bordering county. That's IF they aren't being poached from the atv to begin with.
Enjoyed watching this agree with everything he said. My experience is similar to his. I’ve hunted the mountains of East Ky since I was a kid. Late 40’s now. I want to experience hunting other places but my heart will always be in the mountains of East Ky. Great bucks here but it takes hard work.
Nice to see a few east KY guys here... living nine years now, wouldn't trade hunting these mountains!
Him only hunting a handful of times a year is why he is successful. You only get one chance at a mature mountain buck. Great work 👍
I’ve got a wall full and that’s not true. I’ve seen a giant, moved a few times and killed him.
Great video and story and he truly gets it on every level. Love this more than anything I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks because so many of us can relate to it.
Another excellent video from David. Cheers!
Outstanding video. What a montaineer. More validation on just how important scounting is, learn some, and so able to relate to his need for the outdoors in terms of unplugging. Here's to a great season.
Great video,brother, you are a real hunter, and gifted communicator. God bless you
This was beautiful.
Hunting Western NC bucks in the Blue Ridge Mountains is a challenge. Steep terrain, swirling winds, and mtn weather make the reward of being outdoors all that more rewarding. Respect for the land, animals, and people...spot on, and it makes ya a better hunter/person. Thank you for your video and for representing mountain folk.
Such a great short film. Really hit me in the feels. As a fellow Mountaineer, outdoorsman and family man I can truly appreciate what he spoke about in this video. ⛰🏹🦌🙏
This is great. I grew up in the upper northern appalachian range. Love this video.
Loved it! Good job fellas!
You sharing means so much , as a mountain backwoods , observer/hunter/ hard to find the word that defines. Steward , maybe? I hunt Appalachia north Georgia, primarily wma public land. My appreciation for your respect for these mountains, its wildlife and history is equally shared and must be passed on to the next-generation. I greatly respect the land and wildlife. Taking an animal is nothing to be taken lightly. Really enjoy your videos thanks!
Beautifully done!
Good job. The spirit of the wild is alive. Hunt on. Southern Michigan bowhunter.
Great job OnX. David is an outstanding guy. Very nice.
Nice video, thanks David.
Wow, awesome video!
Great film. Tastefully done all the way around. And Dave is a great example for every hunter.
Love your vid. I could watch these every day
This was my first year hunting in the mountains. Very challenging yet addictive!
Awesome video! Love hunting the mountains for whitetail!
Something I’m very glad to have watched
He couldn't have spoke no better words as a mountaineer myself he spoke to my life exactly the way i am also
wow freaking awesome film!!!!!
Just started hunting public land in Appalachia and it’s definitely the best place on earth.
Having grown up in the Appalachian Mountains and now living in Florida, this video really makes me long for home. Thanks for sharing.
It will forever call us home…
I get it I feel the same about these river swamps in the Florida panhandle. Might not mean a hill of beans to anyone else, but it's still where I cut my teeth in the outdoors.... Home.
Just awesome!
Great video!
Beautiful!
Dang y'all. I bout shed a tear
Well said!
awesome vid.. good man
Awesome! This is what it is all about.
Grew up hunting these bucks. Giants are here but they’re extremely difficult to find more less kill. It is such an awesome experience
Glad I subbed! I’m a 100% onX nut and push it on my UA-cam . I’m about to start pushing it even harder because I really believe in it!
Amazing video
Hunting the mountains of SW Va all my life……I definitely can relate to this type hunting
Thats what we do in eastern ky its tough but rewarding when you can connect
Well said
As a ground hunter here in eastern KY... this was so nice to see - I'm not the only one. Nice video, thanks a lot for sharing this!
Nice tribute to life in the hill country, it is much the same here in the Ozarks. With a dozen generations and growing, it would be hard to think of living anywhere else.
Awesome video. My life revolves around hunting and fishing. Though I include my family members in my journey when they want. But they understand I cannot live without the outdoors in my life and totally encourage and support me.
The last bit of food on this planet that hasn't been tainted by men believing that they know better than the Earth.
I love this film it's about time someone speaks truth on wv.
Nice video
Those mountains do grow big deer. And you cant find those sights anywhere but here - Appalachia
My son lives in McDowell Co. Huge Bucks
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky are all well known for Whitetail hunting and all border WV. Pretty standard for the state to be undervalued. 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll keep chasing em!
Unbelievable video y'all! Please tell me those were demo maps he was sharing and not his own pins.
Was fun hunting coal company property or other public in the 4 counties. Word got out, and everything got leased. Basically all private managed properties now
What time of year do y’all shed hunt
A lot of Hunters don't realize that hunting deer like these is like hunting a different species...
Antlered doe at 5.30 in the video??
Does he have his own UA-cam channel?
Cole from tethrd tagged out tour?
He needs to start a UA-cam channel
Is this one counties just allows bow hunting only if so there are monsters there it would be very hard to hunt
Graduate school level of deer hunting
He is absolutely right....the southern coal fields will make you earn it
Scouting is no different you still putting down scent
its not hunting today, its use scent cover, feed , binoculars, blinds, using calls, - go out in woods with no gps, no technology gimmicks,no hiding behind tarps, no call alarms, no feeding deer, no spray on scent cover or scent attractants then youll impress me
I'm with ya... I ground hunt here in east KY, love these mountains - but you have got to want it, nothing is a given.
@@shadowdawg04 no doubt , you said it well, you have to need it and want it, because in the end when all the products go away , its man and animal
@@egenestarr1986 Spot on...best of luck to you the rest of the year - cold front coming in & Thursday I'm heading to Daniel Boone National Forest 🙂 ... just give me something inside 40yds! 😆
Get Cam Hanes out there with you
How much do you spend on feeders and corn?
Doesn't look like he spends anything at all.
Fyi scouting is hunting.
If you don't have land to hunt you're screwed. Not everyone has gated land to hunt.
Lots of public land out there…..
Hunting the mountains of Wv is extremely difficult. I’m here in the northern part of the mountain state and hunt some of the most rugged and unforgiving ground . And not to toot my own horn but I’ve been very successful at taking mature deer . You just have to put the work in because it doesn’t come easy .
You know what the real key is to chasing big bucks?? Having a very understanding wife……
Success has no woman attached but regret has many.
Yesir
Amen brother
Please don't use those screw in steps. Hunted 40 years and never had an accident till I used them.
