I have a friend that fell out of a tree in an API, fell on cypress knees in a swamp. Stayed out for hours and had to be air lifted out. Paralyzed from the waist down. Those crappy chains on the back broke. His fault for not checking them good enough. Make sure you check the chains and wear your harness. It happens a lot.
@ it was and still is awful. Was a sporadic hunt too. Just decided to go last min. I switched to a saddle 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. I definitely feel safer in it.
Down here in Tennessee the local public WMA prohibits anyone to be on the trail unless you’re actually hunting. The DNR will ticket people that are in there on the trails during hunting season.
Just subbed. First and foremost, thank you for your service. My thoughts - There are tons of whitetail hunting channels on YT. Most have intros that are way too long and are often self-indulgent, filled with annoyingly loud music, etc. I like how you get to the point. Next, the length of this video is where it should be, no need for 45-minute videos with pointless chunks of time taken up by clips of a hunter walking, squirrels, or other things that do not add to the story, so keeping things to the point is good in my opinion. Also, it's refreshing to see content from a state that does not get talked about a lot when it comes to hunting (public land) whitetails. Last thing, you do a good job of telling the story even though you were not able to get it all on film. All in all, keep up the good work, and I predict your channel will continue to steadily grow.
@@O2fstball14 appreciate the feedback! Will definitely have some good stuff coming this season and as the channel grows! Definitely about getting to the point of the hunt and portray the experience. Maryland definitely doesn’t get talked about a lot!
I've been deer hunting for 19yrs from age 14... I hunt both private and public.. anyone can say what they want in public land.. I go by the books.. majority of public land guys don't go by 100% of the books.. it's really sad.. That's why I'm hunting private more... less pressure, no people hunting..
@@EdgarMartinHunt I've bowhunted public land enough.. still going. 90% I've spent most of my time on private and 10% on public.. Just hitting public as backup... it just flat out sucks... perminant stands and cell cams all over... I never thought it be this annoying.. Don't get me wrong dude I've been successful in public in the past.. majority 2.5s and a few nice 3.5s on my wall... Public any nice 3.5 or older will do.... Sadly too much pressure, spots I want to hit people parking there.. it's all luck man...
@@marvinmcafee4275 Sorry dude.. Sadly majority of guys don't go by the books in public.. if you see specific guys taking out big bucks that's 3.5 or older year after year.. I know there cheating the system.... In public land everyone keeps a hush about it... If you're seeing a specific guy that's taking 4-6 yrs taking a big buck thays 3.5 or older out in public.. I know that guys really going by the books and had worked very hard hunting.. Public land is very hard to get big bucks... I was bowhunting last week. Caught a guy jacklighting. As soon as I got out from the woods from the ridges.. I got off 25 min after sunset.. That guys still up in the tree on the cut beanfield at night... Yes I've seen it all before man...
By the headline, I thought this was gonna be a story about some Karen yelling at you for shooting a deer. Good job getting that buck in the last few minutes. I always hunt into the last moments - that’s when the deer come out! Ive found DNR, police patroling the public lands and game wardens to be very decent people and even helpful at times.
@@MrAlohaWildMan it usually is! This was the parks staff that called them since my car was there so late. The guy was super cool, congratulated us and waited until we finished all photos and checking in the deer. Class act!
In Md we can bait on private land and put trail cameras up on certain public, just not wildlife refuges . A DNR officer was present for this deer and saw my set up so rest assured, there was no baiting on public land.
2 constructive criticisms. 1. Get a vlogging light or reflector for vlog shots, especially when wearing a hat indoors. 2. When you observe left lane loiterers as shown in these clips, pit maneuver is authorized.
lol, I still use my API climber that I bought in 2001. Love that thing!!! I have tried other climbers two different times but just did not like them. Got spoiled by the API.
Lol I got 2 or 3 of those API stands I bust out every now and then. A little loud and clunky with those chain wraps but they hold up to the test of time.
@@J0KER_601 it is 100% ILLEGAL to bait on public in Maryland. The clip your are referring to is when I am mentioning the thick timber we have here and it is B roll from a permission piece I have.
@@EdgarMartinHunt 10-4. I'm in the deep south, so I have zero knowledge of hunting in the northeast. But you guys definitely have some nice deer in that region.
lol there’s only 128,000 acres of public land in Maryland naming a county isn’t gonna give up “your” public property. Y’all crack me up. He said there was a drop off cliff. That rules out the eastern shore. So it’s gonna be anything this side of bay bridge possibly anything north and west of millington. Loch raven very steep nice bucks throughout there, Susquehanna state park small but got some studs, rock state park steep as well, gunpowder state park, could be pretty boy or patasco valley very steep, Patuxent river or the refuge. Lots and lots of land no one is asking which tree anyone is sitting in or how many steps it takes to get there or how many leaves are on “your” tree. These types of guys lol
@ only a fool would really disclose that sort of information which is why people post example maps when shooting for b roll because people will flock to those areas. Many people like the hunting public explain that pretty adamantly. If I disclose a county I open myself up to an even more pressured area than it already is. I took my time to scout, prepare, take time off work, and already battle outside influences, no reason to add more if I can help. Especially in this particular area because people absolute catch wind, word goes around, then there’s 5 extra trucks at the parking area, now the experience is ruined for everyone hunting within 50 yards of each other. Just the way I look at it so maybe I am wrong.
I’m 36/f Never hunted in my life. I’m teaching my ten year old son from videos on UA-cam. There’s plenty of crown land here to hunt, I can’t wait to get out with him
@@duanehensley8835 they are definitely used to them. Just start moving a bit later. They will bed and watch them until they leave then get back up like nothing happened.

Great story and vid.....people expect a shot on every video, sometimes the story is entertaining enough....just subbed, check me out if you get chance....I'm in MD too, more of a meat hunter than a trophy hunter.
