This channel is about my love of the crossbow, hunting, and the outdoors. I hunt exclusively with the crossbow. I love it and I aim to help you love it, too!

Bunjie (The O.B.) is a 2010 Excalibur Axiom Crossbow. After more than a decade of killing deer, hogs, squirrels, woodchucks, and even a bear, Bunjie is now semi-retired. Enter Bunjie III (or Bunjie '21, Bunjie 3.0, The Slick Black Cadillac of Crossbows) a 2021 Scorpyd Deathstalker 420, the result of trying various models and looking at dozens of them online for characteristics I liked. It is, in fact, a gift from a Friend of Bunjie, which goes to show how important Friends of Bunjie are to this channel and what an impact they can have. Bunjie III is a testament to modern crossbows, producing over .7 slugs of momentum and almost 140 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with stock arrows--at nearly 400 fps!
Bunjie, Jr., is my daughter Genevieve's crossbow, an Excalibur Micro Suppressor 355. This crossbow was also a much appreciated gift from a Friend of Bunjie, and it changed Death by Bunjie forever by inspiring Genevieve to become a part of our story as a second-generation crossbow hunter, and it also convinced me there is a benefit to a newer, faster crossbow (see our 2020 Maryland Doe Hunt).
Again, I am not sponsored by these companies. I am sponsored by Friends of Bunjie! (I'm not asking for gifts whatsoever--please don't feel like you should send me stuff! But I do appreciate the support I've received over the years! I'm just trying to express my appreciation for that.)
This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The albums "Live Free or Kill" and "Zombies Gotta Eat, Too!" are available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. A third album is in the works.
All Hail Bunjie!

For me, the best hunting spot is anywhere I’m sitting! Love being outdoors, in nature.
Thanks for Crossbow appreciation month!
I broke down and bought a pack of cellular trail cams. Now I only need a few days off to go set one up at camp. I set one up today in the backwoods where I only hunt when time is an issue. Onx Hunt is one of my favorite apps....i buy the elite package so I get all 50 states if I choose. And the new features are amazing....putting it up on my dash monitor of the truck is so useful. Its actually saved my bacon a few times....someone said I was trespassing....and I broke out the OnX...and proved them wrong...and avoided the game wardens wrath. I also download the map of camp because signal is weak. Game saver.
Me and Roy my husband
Here in south Carolina love your shows thanks for all the good stuff you share
Thanks for watching, good luck down there!
If you bring ground blind, keep a little distance to apple tree. Wasp and bees can visit your blind unwelcomed. Some apples like Granny Smiths are green when they are ripe. Hope your trail cams survive. I have had several cameras stolen thru the years. You can bring a climbing step and put them out of reach and less visible. Put a small stick behind the top of the camera to angle it down. Our archery season starts 2 Sepember. Supposed to be 90's all opening week. I will probably go fishing.. ha
I've never had good luck on state land but thanks for the information three thumbs up
Good luck hunting down there this year. It's hard.
Holy smokes! You’ve got some gold there!
Yeah, I think I also go hunting there. Also don’t want to see it here but we definitely go near that area. I just saw that last weekend.
Yeah, today I spent my day getting my ground blinds aired out
Can't wait to see you lay a deer out with the Swat! That would be such a nice bow for Genevieve
Hmmmmm it would, we'll see if it catches her eye
Love the show !! Love your attitude
We have a lot of apples this year in western PA
Great video Rich and this looks promising! Sending Michele and Genevieve your location is very smart, and I recommend that for anyone who hunts alone. BTW, you really should wear long pants, sprayed with Permethrin, because of the ticks! Matt from Dragging Deer just got diagnosed with Lymes disease.
Chest nut and apples what couldn't be right lucky man he was ELP reference of course sorry I couldn't help myself, GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON!!!!!!
I’ve hunted that game land before. I’ve been to those spots.
A late frost here in Vermont got some apple trees...I am lucky to hunt public and private land.These videos are sure getting me fired up for bow season.
Best spot my dad showed me how to find a while ago and it works. Go deep and find a scrape that is super large. Communal scrap. Been killing big bucks on state land my hole life. Shoot monsters.
So awesome even after all the years you have hunted your jazzed and excited and can't wait to hunt! Glad to see I'm not the only one who gets in the woods and just gets giddy! Love it!
another great video, no matter your experiance you can always learn something new.
On X yessir 💪
Love the cheap Tasco walmart cameras.
Looks promising. Nice to see spots for the pollinators.
I saw a chestnut tree. Right with the apple tree. It looks good
Yep pretty cool!
Deer will stay on that chestnut tree until everyone of them are gone. They love them
I have been hunting state game lands since I was a boy, over the last few years I’m very impressed what a good job they are doing.
I found some really good spots too, it is pretty impressive.
Looks good Rich! Hopefully you have some deer around the apple trees and clover!
I would hunt the apples also. The deer know that tree is there and have known this for years. So that spot is going to get visits from deer period.
I had very good success on Game Lands in Bucks County, Pa. They use to be hunted heavily and you had to figure out the best sections to hunt. Once you did that you could do well. Now, I have enough private land to hunt that I don't hunt Game Lands anymore.
Jen and I just got our first cell camera and it is making things much easier. The costs have really come down, over the years.
Wow that's cool! Unfortunately I don't have cell service in most of the places I put cameras haha so I buy really cheap ones instead
Million and a Half deer here in Missouri..don't have to work hard at killing them..even 170 class deer on Public land
I’ve been hunting state game lands off n on my whole life. Here in Ohio harder n harder to get permission. If put the work in; can consistently find some gems to hunt. Love idea using cheaper older trail cams too!
Yes sir! Northeast Ohioan here and I’ve hunted public land from my beginnings. If you do your research, there are truly some Amazing places in our state, but you got to put the work in. Best of luck to you this year my fellow buckeye!!
Rich, you should look into getting an Ebike. It looks like you have some great trails. I bought one for hunting and scouting and it works great. No noise, and no gas smell. You can carry more equipment. Also, I heard you mention a lost arrow, get a cheap metal detector, they work great. Keep up the good work.
Unfortunately no e-bikes on PA State Gamelands.
Every time I hunt I send my wife my location as well
Problem with public land is there are probably 10 other guys looking to hunt around those same trees!!
Yep! That's why I need to find 11 trees haha
Everytime I go out I send my location to my wife , I'm hunting publis land also but I haven't found any apple trees yet ..
ua-cam.com/video/LFzk9O-48hI/v-deo.htmlsi=WF9MZewl5YgH_HxD check out that one maybe good luck!
@@Deathbybunjie found out I won't because the ground to acidity ... Thanks tho
Do you have any of those pesky seed ticks in PA? Here in southeast Missouri, the seed ticks are terrible this time of year. I always carry me a small role of duct tape in case I get into a nest or two. I can take a piece of duct tape about 18" long and remove hundreds of those seed ticks quickly before they have a chance to swarm. Duct tape has saved me many times while out scouting or hunting early in the season.
Yep we got em 😬
I have had some bad experiences on public land here in SE Virginia. 2 times I was almost shot. I am just glad they couldn’t shoot.
Well that's no good!
Looked like a great area you have there to hunt. I wish you the best of luck! Do you hunt with a rifle as well or just crossbow?
I am a crossbow guy 💯
Rich, are you getting the saddle out this year. Have not seen you talk about it.
I did a saddle video last year (answer is no lol)
@@Deathbybunjie I got one this summer. I think I’m going to like it.
I live in southeast PA and drive 2 hours north to bow hunt Northeast PA, Rich is doing the opposite? I find the Northeast PA game lands crazy during the gun season but nearly empty during archery season. During random weekdays in Oct. most times I’m the only car in the parking lot of a nearly 3500 acre parcel.
Ssssshhhh lol
When I setup a camera on public land I put python locks on them.. have you had any problems with theft? Plus, I have you talked about crossbows and potential energy stored in them? And which crossbows store the most potential energy in there limbs? Thanks,Darrin
I don't use the locks, but I probably should. I buy the absolute cheapest trail cameras I can and that way I'm not out much if they get stolen or lost lol. As for the crossbows, get the specs from the manufacturers and try them out through our calculators! There are a lot of fun! And you learn a lot from them. At least I think so.

Hey Rich, How do you hunt on the game lands, Blind, climber, saddle or just sit on the ground?,
I've tried various methods but I'm a ground guy 😆
@@Deathbybunjie Yeah, I'm getting tired of setting up the blind every year, I think I miss alot having my field of vision cut down, plus I never know if someone else is going to be in it. lol.
What's your strategy to keep your cell cams from getting stolen on public land? I'm headed out to place a few on a Wildlife Management Area (what they call "State Game Lands" in TN) in the next week and am looking for some pointers.
I bring one climbing stick which gets camera high enough they can't steal without a ladder. I cut wood wedges on my table saw and put them behind camera to angle it down some.
My strategy is I buy the absolute cheapest trail cameras I can find haha
@@Deathbybunjie Hahaha!
Do you run into alot of other hunters on that property?
There was actually a guy there when I was scouting, I saw him off in the distance, so I'm scouting for them as well haha
You got any bigfoot story to share?
Not yet lol
5B or 5C?
This one 5C
@@Deathbybunjie Nice! I feel like you may be close to where I live based on what I’m seeing and hearing. Just don’t come down during gun season. It’s a completely different environment once the orange army comes out.
Do you worry about your equipment getting stolen ? They wouldn't stand a chance on a piece of Michigan State game areas
Yes that's why I buy the cheapest cameras possible...but fingers crossed none stolen yet haha
Hopefully, someone will not take your cameras.
I love that as free human being, I can go hunting, fishing, anytime I need to. I dont have to ask permission. I don't need tags licences or anything like that. If you are a Christian, exercise your freedom of religion. God gave us dominion over the land and animals
Genesis 1:26 kjv
I render under Caesar that which is Caesar's lol
So you found what looks like very promising public land. I saw a podcast of a bunch of anti crossbow complaining Pennsylvania hunters crying about how there’s no good places to hunt anymore in PA and it must be because of crossbows.
I suspect there’s many other areas like what you’ve found.
Yeah, there's no shortage of deer here LOL
