I love these types of videos! I've been working on finding beds and setting up near them for the last year or two. It's a work in progress, but information like this is a piece of the puzzle. Thanks for sharing!
Great footage and info Sean! Putting down something for them to step over to hopefully get a better picture is a great idea! I had not thought of that before. Also, you mentioned it before in a previous video, go in to scout or hang cams right before some rain is coming to wash away your scent. Great advice! Thanks for sharing!
I've been to the boundry waters in Ely Minnesota before and it is beautiful,...but yes the mosqittos & black flies are horrible. Just to mention my Carter insatiable 3 will be in tomorrow, so excited. Great vid brother, try musk repellent. 🏹🤠👍
Sean, have you ever tried the ghost blind for public land. I know there are cons like having to be very careful about getting blown if you move our from behind the blind but I know some guys in the midwest who have had some success with them in areas like you are looking at. Faster, quieter set up in the thick stuff and not so different from a hang on stand and better cover. Still have to look for shooting lanes just like the hang on, but you have better mobility in shifting winds or if you get blown you can simply get up and move. No real difference in scent control if your careful and watch your wind. If deer come in behind you they will wind you either way. Just thinking with a working guy it would be easier, faster and more efficient without having to worry about setting up or tearing down a stand every hunt on public land. Or worse, having your stand stolen if you leave it out. Good to see you out in the woods again!
Yep, I have considered that as well. A couple of the weaknesses guys have told me is that if the deer circles or comes up behind you you'll probably get busted even with good scent control. However, one guy sets up so he can use his ozonics with his sit and he says he very rarely gets busted with that and the deer come in from behind where he sits the edge of a field once in awhile. He actually posted a vid from a couple of years ago where he had three does and a 2.5 year old buck within 25 feet. Also, the way he set up in brush with side shooting lanes was pretty impressive. Couldn't find the vid or I would post it. Another guy said with a compound he got busted a few times because the top of the compound stuck out above the blind and the deer caught the movement. Frustrated him enough he went back to a ground blind where he could control his scent and hide his movement. Sigh, wife thinks at my age I don't need to be in a tree and my daughter is ganging up on me with her. Just considering some alternatives. I was wondering if you had any opinions on ladder stands, especially vs ground blinds.
That's okay. The ghost blind doesn't appeal to me all that much. It is okay, but I'm not motivated. If I was going to get a new blind I would get the one Primos came out with this year that you can see out of it 360 degrees around they call it the surround view. Here is a link to one amzn.to/2LVcful That's what I would go with
Thanks Sean! Actually if I get a hub blind that was the one I planned on getting. Still going for the compromise with the boss and thinking a ladder stand is the way to go... lol! Good luck with your scouting!
Good video, its always exciting to setup game cams in a new location. Checking the camera only after a week is nice to get a quick sample. From my experience I typically let a camera sit for at least 30 days. This allows for a better sense of what and how many are actually coming through on a regular bases. I'm excited to see what you catch on the camera.
Yeah, I typically check them after two, or three weeks at most, for the first run to make sure the camera is working properly or that a bear hasn't ripped it off of the tree. Although now that I'm in iowa I don't need to worry about the bears.
Another great video when are u able to get ur hunting license here and me and my dad are gonna go run some cameras today on public cuz it all we can hunt which I like anyway we will be hunting 472 acres of land and I hunted last year missed a small 8 but hope this year will be the yr for me and my dad to get a deer archery hunting.
In 90 days from moving here I can submit my paperwork for resident license status. Depending on how long they take to process my paperwork, I may get my license about a day before the season, or it may be two weeks into the season before I get it.
Hey Sean I will be hunting with a bowtec rein 6 this year. 29.5 draw length 70 lbs. What would you recomend in a hunting arrow & broadheads for whitetail? Thank you!
This one is a Lumix LX10 amzn.to/2AIFXlx It has a one inch sensor and takes a great picture. It is a vlogging style camera, which is why I picked it up and wanted to try taking it on a scouting trip. When it seems like a fit I will use it but I will also be using a lot of my other cameras for things too, because with this it only has a 3x zoom and it also doesn't auto focus well, so you have to use manual focus for everything... So, for some applications it isn't the best but for others it is really good.
Haven't you seen the ones I have had up for sale for a month now on my UA-cam channel under every single video? Here is a link for the T teespring.com/seansoutdoors#pid=369&cid=6513&sid=front but the hoodie and long sleeve as well are under every single video. Just watch any video of mine and scroll down just below the description and you should see them sitting there for sale...
Thanks. I checked the cams and both had pictures. The stick on the ground helped, and also had raccoons crawling all over it in some pics, lol. Since I am limited on cameras, I have moved them both already to try to get information at other locations as well.
Was wondering if you could do a review of few items. One being toxic broadhead was thinking that I really wanted to get them then I see lots of bad reviews seems like all good vids bout them are from flying arrow staff and was wanting an unbiased review. Another is precision peep sights looks pretty cool if works like they say. Last is garmin xero sights this one might not be possible to get because of price but just a review of videos would be cool
Feel free to send any products you want reviews to my P.O. Box. Address on my website. If there are specific videos you want feedback on, I would suggest email the links to me through my website and I will try to check them out. God bless ya
Rad video dude god bless! Im new to archery and plan to hunt deer next year when I'm a more proficient shot. Would this video relate to out west? Was looking at hunting public land in northern Arizona. Thanks for information either way your channel has helped me a great deal
just started watching some of your videos looks like I have a lot to learn about bow maintenance as a new bow hunter. was wondering on your opinion of bow to buy as mine is an older hoyt that was 2nd hand and really its too long a draw but got me into bowhunting (which I never figured I would like as a rifle hunter I figured that one would come in too far for a shot and be mad for leaving rifle at home lol but the adrenalin rush to have them close enough for a shot is addicting) as a newbie I was looking for low maintenance and somewhere I seen single cams lower maintenance but lose fps is it worth the loss. and I don t live close to any bow shops for much help just your vids along with some others. on top of that is budget don't need newest best thing just reliable quality made bow. im sure all bows are great out of box but im looking for mid price range built to last. kind of weary of some cheaper than others because of longevity before needing repairs but on the other hand just because it has a more expensive price tag doesn't mean its better just more expensive. and also was wondering just how many bows do you have seems like every video you talk bout another bow you have or do you just try them out?
You can hunt with a single cam bow as thousands of people do. Yes, they are still slower but they can still take down big game. Just strive for shots 20 yards or less and you don't need to worry about it. For someone not wanting to spend too much, I think the Bear Approach is a good model. The Diamond Edge SB-1 is a duel cam bow but is nice too for a beginner. Best of luck with it. God bless.
Hey Sean do residents of Iowa get over counter tags or you got lottery for them. Also I would invest in a Thermocell. If they work in south Mississippi they will work there
What bow hunter wouldn't move to Iowa if he or she had the chance? I have wanted to live in Iowa and also work for the Catholic Church for a very long time. I had a job offer in a Catholic Church in Iowa which gave me a chance to live my dream. So, I presented the idea to my family and they were supportive and so we moved.
I've been using a bug repellant using a ingredient called picartine it's non deet and works! I get it at Canadian tire. Its good cause it doesn't sweat off in summer but it's kinda sticky.
Iowa is a scary place to hunt. It seems to happen where ever I go hunting on public land in Iowa. I’ll get set up in a tree and a mans face will peak around a tree and stare at me about 30 yards away. It appears to be the same guy no matter what piece of public I hunt. I’m done with Iowa! Has anyone else experienced this?
Your in the right business to get yo know some farmers. I'm one generation removed from the farm and my family knows dozens of farmers. I can trade labor and skills to get hunting grounds.
Just make sure if you have shotgun hunter or any hunters on your cameras to move them. I made the mistake last year and was gonna take them down after season. I came back to the cables being cut.
Thank you for your videos , I enjoy all of them!🏹🦌🎯
That's great! You are welcome
I love these types of videos! I've been working on finding beds and setting up near them for the last year or two. It's a work in progress, but information like this is a piece of the puzzle. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome and thank you. Best of luck with it!
Really enjoy the scouting and strategy videos. Never thought about putting a branch down to make stop for the camera. Already learned something!
Thanks man! Glad to hear it! I've got about 10 more of these in production.
Great footage and info Sean! Putting down something for them to step over to hopefully get a better picture is a great idea! I had not thought of that before.

Thanks Steve. God bless ya.
Absolutely digging the new opening ...
Thanks Jon. God bless ya.

Thank you
Try to meet up with “the hunting public” guys. You both have similar missions and goals. Could be fun to watch!
I messaged them and asked them to do a collaboration, and they said okay, but then they didn't follow through.
Very informative. Thank you Shawn.
You are welcome. I'm working on about 10 more of these right now.
You pick some nice places great video Sean
Thanks Kenny. God bless ya
Best of luck out there this year. Great info.
Thanks

I have not used them but I have looked at them. I'd prefer to be up in the air and above the nose of the deer if I can be.

I hope all is well,, you and your family are settled in. Iowa will make some great hunting. Looking forward to this coming season.
thanks.
Thank You and God Bless...
You too
Sean, personal question, are you of native american descent? Great videos, learning alot from your work. Thank you!
No, but I often wished I was Native American living about 300 years ago, lol.

Have you ever had problems with getting your camera stolen what do you use to anchor camera to the tree thanks and great channel
I use Python locks. I have not had a camera stolen that has been locked but I did have one stolen that wasn't locked.
Thank you for the info and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series

Awesome good to see Sean 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks, Jimmy. God bless ya
I'm thinking T shirts & hoodies with the new logo would be awesome!
I would buy both. 🤗
God bless you Sean!

Sean's Outdoor Adventures boy I don't know how I missed that.
Thank you!

Thanks another great video. Waiting for the follow up with results

Welcome to the Midwest! Great hunting, but mosquitoes are bad.
Thanks Joe
Rad video dude god bless! Im new to archery and plan to hunt deer next year when I'm a more proficient shot. Would this video relate to out west? Was looking at hunting public land in northern Arizona. Thanks for information either way your channel has helped me a great deal
Yes, animals often use topography to their advantage for energy conservation.
I have a 1/4 inch peep and it’s just a little too big. What size peep would be the next size down from a 1/4 peep?
3/16th probably
Thanks
Useful info! What 📷 you use? The footage is great!
This was a Panasonic Lumix LX10 amzn.to/2LQhoHH
Come check out Michigan mosquitos, they're like birds! LoL great video, thanks! God bless
Lol, thank you.

Hey Sean do residents of Iowa get over counter tags or you got lottery for them. Also I would invest in a Thermocell. If they work in south Mississippi they will work there
Yeah, I have a thermocell. Over the counter for residents on the tags
So how do you find you cameras again? Do you drop a pin or something to make them easier to find?
Yes, I use my handheld GPS for everything. Drop a point and take a picture of it.
Come to Mn, our state bird is the mosquito, and there as big as birds..
I have been told that.
Sean, do you have any concern with CWD where you’ve moved to in Iowa?
No.
I want to see the camera footage any luck?
👍
Looking forward to your trail cam footage.
lol, not sure I will be sharing too much if I get anything good on there, know what I mean ;-)
I know the code..."nope, didn't see nothin"...
lol that sounds about right.
Nice advice and I think you need to invest in a Thermacell device which will help with the mosquitoes
I have one, just didn't take it out on the first scout because I didn't know the mosquitoes would be so bad.
What did I miss? Did you move to Iowa from Pennsylvania?
Wow, where have you been? I've been posting videos on that for months. Yes, I live in Iowa now.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures why did you move to Iowa ?
What bow hunter wouldn't move to Iowa if he or she had the chance?
I have wanted to live in Iowa and also work for the Catholic Church for a very long time. I had a job offer in a Catholic Church in Iowa which gave me a chance to live my dream. So, I presented the idea to my family and they were supportive and so we moved.
Sorry about mosquitos try talking with some local hunters to see what works better. Good luck.
Yup, taken care of. Thanks
Woo-hoo! #1 viewer
Lol, thanks brother.
Get on em' ! Lol
amen
I've been using a bug repellant using a ingredient called picartine it's non deet and works! I get it at Canadian tire. Its good cause it doesn't sweat off in summer but it's kinda sticky.
Yeah, I researched that stuff when I was trying to get something nonDeet for my kids.
Disturb an ant hill with a stick, throw a handkerchief on the hill, let the ants "sting" it. Natural bug repellant. Caution, deer may avoid you
👍

No I haven't had that happen with the same guy gut have encountered plenty of other hunters on public land. Public land is often pretty small in Iowa
Your in the right business to get yo know some farmers. I'm one generation removed from the farm and my family knows dozens of farmers. I can trade labor and skills to get hunting grounds.
That is great
Sweet, I have to wear a mosquito net over my face, or I end up looking like sloth from the Goonies.
I hear you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures are you thinking about doing a strategy video, about deer movement and corn harvast time, since your in Iowa.
Hang a grape vine or lickin branch right there in that convergence.
👍
You should have put it higher up so it doesn't get stolen.
They are locked. and up higher doesn't give you the reach the linear placement does.
Just make sure if you have shotgun hunter or any hunters on your cameras to move them. I made the mistake last year and was gonna take them down after season. I came back to the cables being cut.
