Ya I brought home about 15 dove and cleaned and cooked them and miraculously she didn’t freak out. I sincerely thought she would have had nightmares for weeks .
The likes to dislikes ratio on this guys channel is uncomparable with alot of other hunting and fishing channels. Hes won over the viewers, well deserved. Real and down to earth
It's about coming there, looking into the trees. "I'm here for the enjoyment of being outdoors, looking around and having a good time." Those are real, true words.
"Being thankful is probably one of the keys to life. Because if your thankful for what you have, then you appreciate what you have." - Robert Arrington Well said and couldn't agree more!
All the people that hate your videos think it is cruel to kill but the meat we eat was living happily in the wild and the meat they eat is kept in cages for months.
When I was tirteen years old I had a semi-auto 22 rifle (I mowed lawns for the money) and I had unlimited access to my big brothers 20 gauge shotgun. I lived in a small rural town and I could walk to the woods and fields and I did every chance I could. I could hunt all the land and no one cared. It was before lawyers ruined it all. Every Saturday morning I was tromping through the frost and I brought home rabbits and quail and squirrels and field larks and my family was so proud of me and I was proud of myself. It was my first experience at bread winning and it was great. Those days are gone forever. There were no deer back then but they were introduced later by wealthy people and have become so numerous that you can hardly drive to the grocery store without hitting one. Fried squirrel is really good and you have brought back a flood of memories. Thanks.
notatechie I had a similar experience growing up. Would take my Remington Nylon 66 up to Big Robs Country Mart and if I had no money the ladies there would just let me take some ammo on credit to keep me hunting.....those were the good old days indeed!
notatechie how is it ruined? I guess you live in the wrong place... my state is still 99% forested. Not much has changed here in the last 100 years as far as hunting goes. It is as you described
Are you serious? When I was a kid I hunted anywhere and no lawyers or land owners cared. Nowadays, land owners don't want you on their property because they are afraid of getting sued. Could you imagine a 13 year old walking down the sidewalk in town with a long gun today? How about a High School with long guns in the back window of pickup trucks in the parking lot? I don't know where you live but you are a lucky SOB like I was when I was a kid, but didn't know it. My state is mostly concrete ( exaggeration).
notatechie Rural Maine. 90 something percent of the state is private land and the law is, if it isn't posted you can hunt it. Only assholes post their land so there isn't too much to worry about. The guns at school deal is a matter of federal issue. We used to just park across the street if we were hunting after school.
God Bless u Robert because my mom and dad would always tell me to be thankful for what we get because some people around the world does not have the things we have today
No man of God! We all should! I love you videos and then you prayed and i really love your videos. In this day in age, we don’t see it anymore... In Jesus name amen!
Just cut a small slit in the belly like he did on the back. Pull it open and remove guts. They come out easy. Make sure to remove small glands in the back by the spine.
I'm not a religious person by any means but i share your sentiment when you say that you're thankful for what you have. People should be thankful. I like your attitude to life
I'm from the city. I know nothin about the great outdoors. I'm absolutely drawn 2 this channel n this knowledgeable cool dude!!!! I can't get enough of it!!!
Brother, I LOVE the fact that you prayed and thanked our Lord! Your attitude of thankfulness, apperication and gratuity really preached to me. No matter what I do, it's Needful for me to stay thankful even when I don't understand..cuz Jesus Already WON!!!!😀🎆🎉🎈🎄🎊🏆🎏
Great video Rob.. And you're right.. I think just sitting under the trees and enjoying nature is in fact one of the best things in the world.. The best medication for the mind, is all around us.. Peace!
I had the exact same 22 when I was younger and passed it down. I'll never forget what the rod feels like taking it out to load the bullets, and the gold that replaces the black hole where the gun is loaded, when you put the rod back in. Everything about the gun and how it looks, shot, and felt came back to me after I watched this video!
Robert, attitudes are contagious and yours is certainly worth catching. Love your appreciation for the outdoors and how you share that appreciation. My 13 yr old son introduced me to your videos and we have watched most all of them together. Thanks again for what you do.
Rob, your Prayer 🙏 Really hit home. I obviously don’t have what I used to. But I have my Daughter, the most important thing in my life. Thanks for the Prayers Bro
Great video, love that you added in the cooking aspect, and showed the actual hunt. Only thing really missing to me, and it's rather big actually; is that the cleaning part was cut short. You showed the skinning, but no gutting and cleaning it out. To me, that's one of the most important parts to teach people, but other then that it was great. And for what it's worth, I'd say no camera man, that's just one more person scaring off game.
Love the recipe I do my squirrel like that or do a dumplings sort of thing but one thing that I have been doing for years is I season my rice while its cooking I know it sounds like such a small thing to do but to me I makes a world of difference love your vids and god bless you and your family
Man this took me back to when my grandpa taught me how to clean a squirrel. Fast forward almost 30 years and grandpa is on his way out. Thanks for taking me back to the good times.
I dont believe in god or pastors but am always also thankful am glad to see people like you be thankful and praise what we have. Am glad thank you for the video! Love your videos!!!
Loved the video, but especially the last minute. My favorite part of turkey hunting is seeing and hearing all those little things around me - a mouse scurrying under the leaves, little birds picking at twigs inches from my face, snakes slithering by, birds having conversations....It really becomes an addiction that I couldn't imagine living without.
Love ya man, thanks for the encouragement to “get out there”...I love to do it as often as I possibly can, but it’s not enough! Your reminding that it’s important is a blessing! Thanks man
Gots to say my favorite channel so far...All my kids love your channel Robert, This channel has opened up my kids appetite for the outdoors and great eating.. Thanx once again for the wonderful adventures!!!!
Maaaan I wish I was manly enough to go out and hunt like this! Unfortunately I am stuck in Liberal hell here in LA. I also drive a Prius with a yoga mat in the back 😟 I am a new Christian Conservative at age 40 and I feel like I’m just learning how to become a man. I shot a gun for the first time last week and I was like a little girl caught up in a war zone!
By a pellet gun and hunt squirrels. That's what I do. Quiet and cheap. Dont need a firearms card. Or have to buy expensive 22 rounds!!!! A you need is hunters safety. Takes weekend here in illinois.
This is how I was raised. Grandpa me and my cousin(deceased). Walking the woods and learning about life. Sometimes we came home with something sometimes nothing. But walking the woods with my grandpa was a treat in itself. Most knowledgeable man I know. Taught me alot about life. Somedays the sun would shine others rain. He taught us that no day is a bad day unless you allow it to be. All about perspective. No matter how bad or good the hunt went we always went home with one another, thats a blessing by itself. Didnt matter if we were eating deer, rabbit. Turkey, squirrel, pheasant or quail or something grandma whipped up if we couldnt get anything. We always had something In the fridge to get us full and get us by. Grandpa doesnt hunt anymore Parkinson's too bad and he is 85 yrs old. But I take what he taught me and apply it everyday. Getting out there is the best park. Nature is amazing.
Im a first generation hunter, my dad gave me fishing but he didnt hunt. So i got a squirrel yesterday and I cleaned it for the first time watching you. I havent eaten it yet, im letting it soak in salt water for a couple of days first.
Robb, I've been watching since you were at about 15k subs. The reason I was so into your vids was because of the often solo, amateur approach to filming that you do. Its more natural than if you have a camera man following you taking cinematic shots all the time. Just my opinion. Keep up the vids!
Great video. I was on a solo survival 7 day trip in the the high Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Lived in a cave, caught critters with dead fall traps. Had time to make my own pottery bowls. Found my own water and generally lived off the land for 7 days. As you said , get out there and forget the computer, cell phones, TV etc. I actually had a hard time leaving but what was harder was getting back into the rythm of the business world. Such an appreciated transition. Cant wait to get back out there. CB
Hay Rob, been watching your videos for a few months now here in Australia and man.......awesome!!! Can’t wait to visit the U.S again. Love the southern people and lifestyle. Thanks again 👏🏼👏🏼👌
It is satisfying to see the prep for the hunt, actual hunting until you cook then eat.. that's real living. You have all the food sources and eating all that you hunt.. 👍🏽👍🏽
Slow fry that squirrel in a deep cast-iron skillet. then make up some squirrel gravy and put those pieces back in there to simmer for a little while. then spoon that over a big pile of mashed potatoes. That’s love!
I commented on the video you put out with the prime rib deer saying you should do a squirrel hunt video and it got quite a few likes and bam here weare with one! Lol I love it!
So cool. My dad took me squirrel hunti g first time when I was about 9. We took my uncle's Winchester lever action 22 and the old family shotgun. It was about 100 year old Remington pump that belonged his grandfather. We went to the old family farm in Illinois and went to the woods (lots of old growth oaks). Walked quietly through woods and listed for the squirrels. Great big black fox squirrels
Another great vid made by a great man who loves his family loves life, nature and thanks God for it all. I respect that ✊🇺🇸✊ and I’m grateful to able to watch his vids Thankyou 🙏
Rob, my son doesn't have his dad, but I watch you and Sara, and I feel like it's okay. He has his uncles, who are doing the family artistry thing, and also, he is doing the family artist thing..❤❤❤they all grew it honestly......
You gut them just like every other animal, only difference is it's smaller.. Rob can't show the gutting and blood on here anymore, because it's now against RU-vids rules/guidelines.. And if he was to get strikes from RU-vid, they can delete his entire channel.. And well, there's no way i'd take that kind of chance if i had a channel as big as this one.. Peace!
Calvin H. Well I didn’t know it was against the rules as I watched another video right after his and it got gutted and everything on it but I don’t make videos and I’ve only gutted fish it’s ok tho I’ll get some one to show me But am pretty sure a fish is a lot different to getting gutted to a rabbit ha!ha! But I’ll just wait for his reply thanks for your opinion tho all the same 🤙
I'v gutted plenty myself, and it is basically the same as gutting a fish.. Only difference is, you're cutting fur and belly, and not fish skin and belly.. And i wasn't being rude, Rob has answered this question many times now, and that's how i know why he isn't showing it anymore.. And if you watched a video showing something being gutted, then it got demonetized, and the channel lost all the money they made.. I hope you have a great night/day..
Calvin H. Ok buddy no problem I just don’t want to kill something that could just get wasted from not knowing what to do I’d rather not no how than kill something for no reason but chuck me a fish any day of the week so fast with that
Love how humble you are brother! I live my life the same way of being grateful for even the most minor things. Like you said, others may not have as much! Great message
Brother in Christ, thank you for this video. I've been absent from hunting for a few years, but got my wife into guns and hoping (and praying) hunting will be next. Take care and God bless!
*Awesome!! I appreciate that you guys include people of all races. It is genuine and sincere. You dispell the myth that white people in the South are prejudice. Just your example is making a change to others who may be more close minded. Looking forward to seeing some vids with your local African Americans.*
For Thanksgiving, we got to meet his dear lifelong friend and his family. Rob and his friend brought them Thanksgiving dinner. Rob doesn't see color and I am looking forward to much more interaction with more of the folks in the South.
As a bleeding heart liberal, even I'm aware that the myth of the South, as the happy home of American racism, thats just what it is, a myth, growing up in the 70's watching the news every night from Boston, Watts, etc, I came away with the knowledge that racism is more a character issue, than regional.
Yes, emma. After the 60's there really was no 'race' issue. Th elaws were put in place to protect people's rights. My mom, born in the 50's, was able, as a black and a woman, to get a state job in California and retire comfortably recently. Fair wages, education and opportunity are available for all. Yes, there are gonna be soe people out there that have a problem with a black person marying their daughter, but from my experience, as you say, it's a character issue, rather than a race issue. We need to focus on the real oppressors, and that are the elite who control all of us, keep raising our taxes, eroding our personal rights and who are feeding us the race war garbage in the media!
I know and agree. I'm a black guy from Georgia, I hunt, cook, fish love the river, wear camo, drive a truck....Rob you're inspiring to me. Keep it up brother.
Love the video. Squirrel hunting is how I learned to hunt most people don’t take the opportunities that are around them. Guarantee you most people could hunt squirrels within 10 minutes of their house.
For me, it's more fun to hunt small game with an air rifle. When you see a squirrel fall out of a tree at 80+ yards, it's so rewarding. And air rifles are so silent, you don't even alarm the squirrel many times if you miss. Allowing you to take a follow up shot. Or bag 2 squirrels in less than a minute. Once you get more accurate, you can bag a squirrel almost every shot, on a calm day. Very well done video. Subscribed
