Big Woods Muzzleloader Hunting | Vermont 

Thanks for the great comment. Much appreciated! As Fred Bear said, “A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.”

Thanks to you my friend.

Thanks for watching Michelle! They definitely have a great nose and it’s always fun to have close encounters where you can watch them and learn from their behavior. Glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely! We couldn’t agree more. Glad you enjoyed it!

Haha of course!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment Peter! That is exactly what we're here to share. Mountain hunting adventures in the most pure form.

Hunting Is hunting you can't eat the antlers I shoot any deer that walks in my sights

@@mikemowery4775 Thanks for the comment Mike! I had already shot my 1 legal buck allowed in Vermont for the year. Spikes are not legal to shoot with a muzzleloader doe tag so I wasn’t able to, but I don’t blame you for shooting any legal deer! They are hard to come by in the mountains.

What you must realize is hunting is killing. Some call it harvesting, but that's just hunters trying to be politically correct. I love bow hunting and miss it terribly. Hunting is a sacred gift, as beasts of the forest have a life force, and that alone is divine. A majority of bowhunters feel great sadness if an animal cannot be found, and that feeling stays with him or her. If you don't feel that, then I don't consider you an ethical hunter. I have hunted since 1967, and have taken four bucks, but saw from my stand, the animal go down, and it was a gentle death for all of them. I have argued with slob hunters several times out in the woods when they try and take a 100+ yard shot. These shots are for professionals such as Chuck Adams of this world. I have sat down and thanked my God for the privilege of taking such a majestic animal out of his domain. Most of my Bucks went from the dominant Buck to an inconsequential Buck when it comes to genetics, but that's OK as he would have starved to death that winter, and I have witnessed Coyotes knawing on a live deer. I put the deer out of its misery, and put my tag on it. A little extreme, but that is my ethics, and considered that a very successful hunt. The White Tail for information sake cannot bite as we can. They must pull everything into their mouth, and their back cuspids do the rest. They cannot help in picking up gravel and dirt. Their teeth wear down, and then the starving process begins. Nine times out of ten it will be a mature Buck, and if you do not appreciate the life you just took, then you should not hunt with a bow. The best years in my life have been on a treestand. Age has put a damper on that, but my son and my grandson carry on the tradition, and the clock ticks one more time, as it should. I thank you for your time, and please excuse my grammar.

He sure did! Yes, it’s always enjoyable to watch them do their thing when they have no idea you’re there. Love those encounters just as much as a tag-filling hunt!

Thank you!

Thanks, you’re absolutely right. They win more often than not! Especially up in the mountains. It’s a game of odds and never giving up. Many more opportunities lie ahead when you preserve. Thanks for watching!

Average Day Outdoors Thanks! That’s for sure. Much different style of hunting. We always wonder how many deer slipped by just out of sight especially where the woods are thick. Deer are few and far between in the mountains of VT and every encounter is an exciting one! Thanks for watching!

Thanks William!

Thanks! Congrats on your doe! We’re looking forward to getting back after them this year and I’m sure you are too. Best of luck!

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Thanks! This video was from 2020. Had lots of luck in 2021 and 2022. Check out the newer content!

Thanks for asking! Vermont has a specific rifle season and a muzzleloader only season. During December muzzleloader season you can only use a muzzleloader.

Did you not watch the video? This hunter clearly is wearing a blaze orange beanie the entire time

@@michaelj.7121 in the state of Ky. It is required to wear a orange vest and Hat. That's what I was commenting on. And that I guess all states are different. And I basically asked/wondered if that might be safer. No reason to get bent out of shape.

@@jimverbaere6097 Orange is not required in the state of Vermont. We rarely ever see another hunter in the mountains all season. It is not like hunting the farm lands or public lands of other states. But often times, we still wear orange just to be safe… as you can see in the video.

Oh, I was watching the video, it kept freezing up and skipping. Not sure what was up with that. I'm sure it's on my end.

When I was watching, it kept cotting out. And the volume was acting up as well. I only wish I could see and or hunt property like that. Walking wod take me out of the game since I'm a dbl. Amputee. But I really love to watch the videos. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Michael! Wishing your sick grandmother all of the best! We're lucky to even cross paths with a legal deer during the appropriate season here in the mountains of VT. I prefer using scopes and will continue to do so! Thanks for watching.
