2 years ago, my son and I went squirrel hunting on opening day. We were sitting in chairs in a natural blind we put together when we heard something behind us..Thinking it was turkeys that we see quite a bit in that spot, my son eased around to look at them. It turned out to be a mama bear with 3 cubs! 50 feet from us. She knew we were there because she stood up and looked at us...then just walked off into the woods.
The first sit was Awesome!!! Very lucky to see a ruffed grouse, a Bobcat and 4 bears in one sit!!! To me those experiences are the best part of hunting!!!
After decades of white tail hunting I never leave home without a grunt call, they are light and you never know when one can give you an advantage. Hang in there , you are on the right track, tuning your gear takes time and patience!
Dear Allie, thanks for sharing with us you experiences. It's easy to tell a story about a success but your videos about a real hunt and nature. Best regards from Germany;-)
Hey Allie I love how you get excited about seeing the critters even if it's not a deer it's awesome to see a bobcat n then a sow with 3 cubs that's a great day right there keep it up love the video s happy holidays from Maine
You had such a great experience seeing a bobcat, lots of deer and a mama bear with 3 cubs. I sure hope you get a nice buck. It was great watching you today.
Great video. I learned many years ago to range everything possible when I first get in a stand, so that I have 3 half circles in front of me, 20 30 and 40. No mater where that deer is, I instantly know the yardage. I have to because I only use one pin.
I finally tried out my tree saddle, it's a little sketchy without a long lifeline to climb up and down for me. But I do love the mobility it really is nice.
Great video thanks so much! I especially liked the choice of recording at 26:04 Filming up in the tree in the dead of night with the snow falling was a really great shot. Don't ask me why I think that just looks really cool in the video. Looked painfully cold..but really cool😎Much Love Allie hope you have a great night!
I've never hunted with platforms or worked on my own bow and you do these things and make it look easy and fun I love the videos. Good work. Good videos
It's too bad about the miss but I really can't wait to see part 2. It is really good you're seeing a lot of Deers & signs also the Bobcat with the Mama Bear & cubs. I mentioned it a couple times before always take a sidearm preferably a 10mm into the woods no matter what occasion. You can have it in a shoulder holster so it don't interfere with your saddle or on your pack. Saturday I was helping a friend out getting his cameras also putting up a new tree stand. I gave him one of my pistols & a fixed blade because he forgot his. We saw a big Black Bear about 100 yards from us. I told him next time I won't go if he's not prepared.
Just a tip, when using saddle set-ups and rope ascenders, always use an oval carabiner. If not, you'll eventually break your ascender because your C-carabiner side loads the weight on your ascender.
@@OutdoorsAllie I started hunting late in life with my son and son in-law. I had my last day, last hour moment on the ninth day and it was my day. Euphoric!!!! If it can happen to me it will happen for you. Your day is coming. Wow, that was a nice buck. You'll never forget it. That's what makes hunting special. Good luck to y'all!
Some great days in the woods! Days like that keep you going back for more! Looks like your in the right places , plenty of deer, Just a matter of time before one of those bucks slip up. Thanks for sharing.
The craziest/ coolest thing I've witnessed in the woods was three bobcat kittens playing together. I have had a bear walk up to me within a few ft before also. It was walking through golden rods and didn't see or smell me till it was already right there. Thankfully it was just a cub
@@OutdoorsAllie the bear happened when I was still in high school so it freaked me out at first but he ran back about 50 yds stood on its hind legs and looked at me. I use to have a picture of it but I don't know what happened to it. Watching the bobcats was a really neat experience too cause a small spike came in behind them and they all kind of spooked each other and jumped all around. Lol was pretty funny too watch actually 😆 I still have that video
Damn, we have all been there thinking we don't have time to range, but the reality is you always do (imo). Still a very cool encounter though and that is what I love about saddle hunting. Reminds me of how we would hunt in the PNW (Washington), you just scout and find sign, then setup and ambush. You never know what is going to happen, but you feel like it is going to happen at any moment and makes hunts super exciting. This rut I was saddle hunting in a tree in a place I had never hunted before and 8 does came in from a direction I wasn't expecting and caught me off guard. I ended up in a super weird position in the saddle holding my bow for what felt like an hour, they were feeding right under me. Just when I thought i couldn't hold still any longer they left, no shots, but I don't think I would have had that experience without a saddle. Love it!
Awesome video,seen a little bit of everything !. And hey at the very least you got out and enjoyed nature at it's best. Enjoy you and Nick sharing these video's,much appreciated Cheers !
Great video! Those bears and bobcat were awesome. My bowseason went similar to yours. Had em close but not close enough. Rifle here in PA is so wanky. Pressure is high and the bucks lock down. One of my shooters got killed the first day of rifle. Hoping to get a chance at one tomorrow. Thanks for filming. Love the enthusiasm! Some people just don't get that.
Great video. I actually had an awesome and scary situation similar to yours with the bear sighting. I shot a buck several years ago in Novembers archery season and was able to watch the deer bed down and expire. Within minutes I had a momma bear and two cubs walk under my tree and approach my buck. I had no sidearm and only my Hoyt. The momma bear sniffed around my deer and then walked away with her cubs behind her. A truly awesome experience but could have gone bad. I was able to record most of it on my phone. I now always carry a sidearm. You never know what’s going to happen in the big woods of central Pa.
That was a nice eight point. You should have a grunt call with you always and use it !!! You can turn them around and get that 10-15 yard shot. Eliminate the BUT !!
I carry a 16 shot 10mm when im in bear country, it's a 6 inched barrel semiautomatic, but I feel better carrying it , in stressful areas , also carry 3 extra magazines.
Awesome video , Great footage , Like the camo it blended well with the woods you were hunting in . RATTLE DADDY ( The video said rattle every 20 minutes ). LOL !!!
A good way to walk quite is to put the front of your foot down and then your heels like a indian let your heel down easy that way your not stamping the ground . It's takes a little practice but you will get the hang of it . Remember to put you toes of your foot down first and then your heel walking and stalking
Hey Allie, great video don’t know where to start, that bobcat and 4 bears was badass, congrats on the buck you ended up shooting, saw the pics, you and Nick shoot some cool mountain bucks up there and also sorry about your grandma passing away, prayers for you and your family
I don't use the hand warmers or anything like that. But I do have the soft Sitka gloves that only come out once I am sitting up in the 🌳. They stay in a zippered pocket with my thumb release. I keep a pair of great choppers that r attached around my waist just above my saddle. Keeping the Sitka gloves that work great on a 📱screen in my choppers with my bow on a hanger is the only way I keep my hands warm & u could use that hand warmer with those gloves that rarely get cold even though they r very light & in a camo that matches your jacket. I highly recommend them. 👌
Young Lady, excellent content, you’re the real deal so far as hunting goes and bless your authenticity, don’t ever trade that for any price. It sure seems like at times the hunting industry has it’s mind made up about the “image” of a female hunter. My youngest daughter is also a hunter and trapper and I hope that she would make your acquaintance one day. Take Care. And be careful hanging of that dang tree!!!
Saddle hunting has changed things for me as well! I simply enjoy hunting more when I’m in a saddle. Was lucky to kill 2 nice bucks and a doe this year from mine. Game changer! Awesome video and you handled the miss better than I would have. Lol
I see you are wearing the fanatic jacket in the rain. Does it hold up enough to keep you dry? and..... Where in the world are you hunting in PA????!!!! I'm lucky to see a squirrel let alone everything you saw!
Great video. That was a big buck. I've tried rattling and I don't think it works all that great where I'm at in W.V. good luck the rest of the season stay safe .
HI ALLIE & NICK HI 👋 LOVE WATCHING YOU BOTH HUNT & FISHING 🎣 YOU GET SOOOOOOOO EXCITED ! REALLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS ! PRAYERS ❗ BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
Great video, Allie. Your reactions crack me up. Who makes the gadget that connects your bridge to your tree strap? Typically I see a prusik knot there.
Try to pick some landmarks around you and range them while you’re waiting. When a situation like this occurs, hopefully you’ll have a ranged landmark close enough to help judge your range in a rush. Good luck.
I found walking like a deer in those loud conditions works very well as humans we walk A-B deer just walk stop browse look etc. try walking in 5 steps pause 10steps pause 6 steps pause. Takes a little longer yea but when hunting tight to bedding it’s a good way to sneak in
Well you're hunting hard Miss Ali and that's what it takes and it really tickles me that you're beginning to sound like a old whitetail Hunter veteran you know the old guys you're beginning to sound like one good for you stay positive 👍😉🐝
My brother had a friend who was hunting a tree stand got a big body 12 point. He was so pumped that he got the buck he stepped off his stand and broke his neck. Be safe out there people.
@@OutdoorsAllie yea, brother said he told someone in the hunt club where he was hunting. They didn’t hear from him , went looking for him and found him and the buck dead. Everyone said he died doing what he loved. Heck of a way to go.
Nice video. I know very little about tree saddles. Where is your fall restraint? Am I missing something? Keep putting in the time. It will all come together 😃🦌😃🦌
Hey Allie, I hate to be continued. There better be a good dinner at the end of part 2. Just kidding. Love you and your channel. Best of luck to you. Take care and be safe.
Hey Allie, great video. I am looking into saddle hunting this late season, I am just wondering how the fanatic is in the saddle. Do you still have access to the kangaroo pouch, and does the bridge get in the way .
I have a love/hate relationship with crunchy leaves. Because I ground hunt exclusively, that gives me plenty of time to hear them before I see them. I love that part. However, walking in, I know I'm going to spook everything and their mother so I just skedaddle in like a running squirrel, then stop, the run in a little, then stop. The thing for me is to get that part out of the way as soon as possible and to get behind some trees and settle in. I just try to sound like other things running around out there, but walking slow screams predation to deer. It's stalking. Just a few days ago when I filled my buck tag (tag #3 for the season so far), I did exactly that, I walked in quick then stopped and looked and walked in and stopped. Less than a minute after walking in, no lie, there was probably the 2nd biggest buck I've ever taken 30 yards from my sit. I pulled up on him and sent it. Dragged him out an hour later after a 165 yard blood trail. Heart shot with a shattered shoulder. That monster had stamina. Awesome seeing the cat and the bear. My 2nd live bear encounter, I saw a sow and stalked her for 60 yards. When I got up to her and drew my bow, that was when I saw her 3 little bulletproof vests tagging along. I backed out of there and waited her out. That was epic. Today, dropping off my buck to the butcher, I darn near hit an 8 pointer (yesterday I almost his a spike and a doe). They're all over the place now. I ❤NY.
Oh and how's this for a close encounter; When I came upon my sit at around 4:30 in the morning, there were deer sleeping in it! In fact, the matriarch jumped up and turned around and we were facing each other for about 20 minutes or so just 6 feet apart! I was frozen in place in the dark, heart pounding through my chest. Eventually, she backed up once the other does had walked off. We couldn't see each other, but I could see her outline. On the ground, they're either too close or too far! LOL
@@OutdoorsAllie Thanks. I thought I could quit for the rest of the season and relax, but after watching this video, I'll be out there again tomorrow. 😂
excellent video! might I recommend PRE-RANGING specific land marks for range when you first arrive! I usually range 20-30, 40 and 50! you can log it, memorize it, whatever you feel most comfortable with!!
@@OutdoorsAllie you and nick are the better part of on line videos! keep up the good work! Don't forget Walkerswood Jamaican jerk seasoning!! You can use it in on anything mix it with other spices add it to almost anything!! They have rub and marinade! My family really enjoys the elk jerky with a teriyaki jerk seasoning marinade!!
Do you use any scent attractants during your hunts? If so, do you think its effective or hasn't really changed your odds any? Always enjoy you guys content!
What a bummer to have missed that buck, but experiences! Great video, I found your UA-cam this year and have been watching ever since. I know the frustration of missing a buck, especially with a gun. I shot mine and hit his leg and only found bone fragments. Your buck is still out there, there's always next year! Also, how does your Stealthcam have such clear smooth transition on videos? When I use video, it is slow and each time I see the deer, it has teleported to a new spot within that video? I have the Stealthcam Fusion X.
Awesome video as always. Please give The Hunting Public channel a watch. They also hunt mainly with bow and saddle. They way they approach where to hang a stand or saddle is very informative. I'm from South Africa and I have learned so much even though we hunt big game such as Lion, hippo, cape buffalo, leopard and elephant kudu gemsbok ect. They are fun to watch good ethical hunter that know their trade. I'm not saying the way you hunt is wrong at all. Keep up the good work 👍😁😁😁👍👍
Hi Allie, just an observation, but it seems that your draw length is quite long. You may want to look into that. You're awesome. Keep up the great videos.
So, I have been in your boots many times. You have rattle daddy and I've had him and grunt man. I swear the dude thought he was calling ducks! The cool part about that is if you pay close attention like the deer do, you'll see that the deer simply find a way around these idiots. The challenge was always trying to predict where the guy was going to be. This was neighboring private land, but same same. All you have to do is find the seam that the bucks used to bypass these people based on the wind and you are golden. Believe it or not. When these people over hunt their stands it actually becomes much easier to hunt the target bucks because their attention is focused on the obvious threat and not you. Worst day of my life was when I found out that the land I had permission to hunt for over 20 years had been sold and I didn't even know it was for sale. Turns out the guy who bought it had the ins with a big real-estate broker who knew how to lay it on thick and get the pressure up to convince people to list properties. That is their job after all.
Thanks for watching! My cookbook "The Butcher's Table" is available for pre-order now!

When she MISSED and the buck just kept WALKING along like nothing happened...that shii had me BEAT!😂

Wish you lots of luck every year. Thx for the video. 😊
Thank you!!
You had such a great experience seeing a bobcat, lots of deer and a mama bear with 3 cubs. I sure hope you get a nice buck. It was great watching you today.
For sure. Thanks for watching Pamela!
Great video! Your emotions were felt through my screen. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exciting video Allie! The saddle seems like the way to go. The bears were interesting I'm looking forward to part 2!
Coming soon!
Great video. I learned many years ago to range everything possible when I first get in a stand, so that I have 3 half circles in front of me, 20 30 and 40. No mater where that deer is, I instantly know the yardage. I have to because I only use one pin.
For sue.
I finally tried out my tree saddle, it's a little sketchy without a long lifeline to climb up and down for me. But I do love the mobility it really is nice.
Have a go and I’m sure you’ll get great results and even more enjoyment from your hunting.
That is cool you got to see the Bobcat and then the mama bear and three cubs Allie!
Super cool! Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks so much! I especially liked the choice of recording at 26:04 Filming up in the tree in the dead of night with the snow falling was a really great shot. Don't ask me why I think that just looks really cool in the video. Looked painfully cold..but really cool😎Much Love Allie hope you have a great night!
Painfully cold for sure!!
I've never hunted with platforms or worked on my own bow and you do these things and make it look easy and fun I love the videos. Good work. Good videos
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video! Way to stay in the game when it's raining. Looks like your hunting in a zoo! At least you get to see stuff. So cool.
Thanks for watching!
What an Awesome hunt!! I've fell in love with hunting the mountains and can't wait for next year!
Me too!
Great video Allie! Nice to see the ruffed grouse, I used to hunt them rarely see them anymore. West Nile Virus loss of habitat is the culprit.
Yes, they are on the decline big time.
It's too bad about the miss but I really can't wait to see part 2. It is really good you're seeing a lot of Deers & signs also the Bobcat with the Mama Bear & cubs. I mentioned it a couple times before always take a sidearm preferably a 10mm into the woods no matter what occasion. You can have it in a shoulder holster so it don't interfere with your saddle or on your pack. Saturday I was helping a friend out getting his cameras also putting up a new tree stand. I gave him one of my pistols & a fixed blade because he forgot his. We saw a big Black Bear about 100 yards from us. I told him next time I won't go if he's not prepared.
They are so fun to watch!
@@OutdoorsAllie To be honest I was more surprised of the bobcat sighting. Personally I only ever saw one of them in the woods
Amazing spot, so much wildlife 😮🎉
Just found your channel, and I’m addicted already. Great videos and awesome hunt!
Thanks Charlie!
Yup on in they woods. Beautiful even if I don't pull the trigger. I'm happy for what I seen. Me 🎖
Just a tip, when using saddle set-ups and rope ascenders, always use an oval carabiner. If not, you'll eventually break your ascender because your C-carabiner side loads the weight on your ascender.
Thanks for the feedback!
OA, you have hunting purity. Next level filming your hunting reality. That's putting it out there. Kudos to you and your camera man.
Thank you Tom!

Feelin the same way. Love saddle hunting. Especially on public. So diverse. The hunt is better than the harvest, and I do love venison!
No doubt!

hi Allie love your content deer hunting, turkey,and everything you do in your journey god bless you
Thanks for watching!
Try a Lone wolf stand and climb. Same mobility as sling, way easier set up.
Wild life adventure while deer hunting that’s incredible to see that 👍🏻
Absolutely!

Cool encounters!!!!
I finally ditched the sticks, & decided to climb SRT like they do for tree work.
I need to try!
Do your ranging after you get settled in your tree, or stand. Not recommended to do it when the deer shows up.
A good way to walk quite is to put the front of your foot down and then your heels like a indian let your heel down easy that way your not stamping the ground . It's takes a little practice but you will get the hang of it . Remember to put you toes of your foot down first and then your heel walking and stalking

Great video. That was a big buck. I've tried rattling and I don't think it works all that great where I'm at in W.V. good luck the rest of the season stay safe .
Ya, i'm not a fan either.

You might be right James! Such a fun hunt.
Used your video to butcher my deer shoulder! Thank you for the vids!!

Its called a ropeman ascender 1
I never go in the woods without my 10 mm XDM elite 5.25 inch barrel
Not a bad idea!

@@OutdoorsAllie yea, brother said he told someone in the hunt club where he was hunting. They didn’t hear from him , went looking for him and found him and the buck dead. Everyone said he died doing what he loved. Heck of a way to go.
Sandra Bullock is that you in the tree stand? Ha, you really do look similar.
LOL
This was cool, very enjoyable to watch.
Glad you liked it Terry!
Je viens de Québec Canada ,j'aime bien suivre vos aventures de chasse vous chasser a quelle endroit ,félicitation pour votre passion.
Nice video. I know very little about tree saddles. Where is your fall restraint? Am I missing something? Keep putting in the time. It will all come together 😃🦌😃🦌
Thanks Jack! The system itself is the fall restraint. I've made more in-depth videos on it in the past!
Love the way you hunt hard .your get the buck you what keep up the hard work dear
Thanks 👍
Hey Allie, I hate to be continued. There better be a good dinner at the end of part 2. Just kidding. Love you and your channel.
Best of luck to you. Take care and be safe.
There is...
Enjoyed the video. Here in NC we've been seeing more bear than deer. They are beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Muy buen video suerte felíz año nuevo 🎉🦌🦌🦌🦌
Thanks for watching!!
I wish my wife had the passion for hunting you do
PA bear hunting is tough. Sure is fun though!
@@OutdoorsAllie so is bama
Hey Allie, great video. I am looking into saddle hunting this late season, I am just wondering how the fanatic is in the saddle. Do you still have access to the kangaroo pouch, and does the bridge get in the way .
Everything gets a little bit more snug, but it's my favorite!
I have a love/hate relationship with crunchy leaves. Because I ground hunt exclusively, that gives me plenty of time to hear them before I see them. I love that part. However, walking in, I know I'm going to spook everything and their mother so I just skedaddle in like a running squirrel, then stop, the run in a little, then stop. The thing for me is to get that part out of the way as soon as possible and to get behind some trees and settle in. I just try to sound like other things running around out there, but walking slow screams predation to deer. It's stalking.
Just a few days ago when I filled my buck tag (tag #3 for the season so far), I did exactly that, I walked in quick then stopped and looked and walked in and stopped. Less than a minute after walking in, no lie, there was probably the 2nd biggest buck I've ever taken 30 yards from my sit. I pulled up on him and sent it. Dragged him out an hour later after a 165 yard blood trail. Heart shot with a shattered shoulder. That monster had stamina.
Awesome seeing the cat and the bear. My 2nd live bear encounter, I saw a sow and stalked her for 60 yards. When I got up to her and drew my bow, that was when I saw her 3 little bulletproof vests tagging along. I backed out of there and waited her out. That was epic.
Today, dropping off my buck to the butcher, I darn near hit an 8 pointer (yesterday I almost his a spike and a doe). They're all over the place now. I ❤NY.
Oh and how's this for a close encounter;
When I came upon my sit at around 4:30 in the morning, there were deer sleeping in it! In fact, the matriarch jumped up and turned around and we were facing each other for about 20 minutes or so just 6 feet apart! I was frozen in place in the dark, heart pounding through my chest. Eventually, she backed up once the other does had walked off. We couldn't see each other, but I could see her outline.
On the ground, they're either too close or too far! LOL
Congrats on filling another buck tag!
@@OutdoorsAllie Thanks. I thought I could quit for the rest of the season and relax, but after watching this video, I'll be out there again tomorrow. 😂
Better luck next time 😀👍💯🇺🇲
excellent video! might I recommend PRE-RANGING specific land marks for range when you first arrive! I usually range 20-30, 40 and 50! you can log it, memorize it, whatever you feel most comfortable with!!
Definitely. Mistake on my end.
@@OutdoorsAllie you and nick are the better part of on line videos! keep up the good work! Don't forget Walkerswood Jamaican jerk seasoning!! You can use it in on anything mix it with other spices add it to almost anything!! They have rub and marinade! My family really enjoys the elk jerky with a teriyaki jerk seasoning marinade!!
I've seen those bears 🐻 Climb trees, which would be a bit scary! Cool experience though!
They sure do!!
Do you use any scent attractants during your hunts? If so, do you think its effective or hasn't really changed your odds any? Always enjoy you guys content!
Not typically, but yes I do think they can be effective. Thanks Justin!
What a bummer to have missed that buck, but experiences! Great video, I found your UA-cam this year and have been watching ever since. I know the frustration of missing a buck, especially with a gun. I shot mine and hit his leg and only found bone fragments. Your buck is still out there, there's always next year! Also, how does your Stealthcam have such clear smooth transition on videos? When I use video, it is slow and each time I see the deer, it has teleported to a new spot within that video? I have the Stealthcam Fusion X.
More to come!! It is probably related to the SD Card you are using. I'd upgrade that for sure!
Curious what zone you are hunting, cool vids
Awesome video as always. Please give The Hunting Public channel a watch. They also hunt mainly with bow and saddle. They way they approach where to hang a stand or saddle is very informative. I'm from South Africa and I have learned so much even though we hunt big game such as Lion, hippo, cape buffalo, leopard and elephant kudu gemsbok ect. They are fun to watch good ethical hunter that know their trade. I'm not saying the way you hunt is wrong at all. Keep up the good work 👍😁😁😁👍👍
They hunting public does a great job!
Great video Allie you are doing great there 👍
Thank you Paul!
Hi Allie, just an observation, but it seems that your draw length is quite long. You may want to look into that. You're awesome. Keep up the great videos.
I've changed it a couple times over the past few years. Thanks for the feedback!
You could bring a can of bear spray. Then you wouldnt needlessly orphan three cubs.
So, I have been in your boots many times. You have rattle daddy and I've had him and grunt man. I swear the dude thought he was calling ducks! The cool part about that is if you pay close attention like the deer do, you'll see that the deer simply find a way around these idiots. The challenge was always trying to predict where the guy was going to be. This was neighboring private land, but same same. All you have to do is find the seam that the bucks used to bypass these people based on the wind and you are golden. Believe it or not. When these people over hunt their stands it actually becomes much easier to hunt the target bucks because their attention is focused on the obvious threat and not you. Worst day of my life was when I found out that the land I had permission to hunt for over 20 years had been sold and I didn't even know it was for sale. Turns out the guy who bought it had the ins with a big real-estate broker who knew how to lay it on thick and get the pressure up to convince people to list properties. That is their job after all.
Thanks for the feedback Craig!
Amazing! I saw you shaking :D Stay positive...Another big buck day will come. Have you tried a JX3 hybrid saddle? Thanks for the awesome vids!
Thanks for watching John. No I haven't. I love my Tethrd stuff.
@@OutdoorsAllie 👍I like their sticks!
