The second 4 days of deer hunting at The Tent. Some very cold weather set in. As I upload this I am driving to The Tent for the final 4 days of the season. Video coming soon.
I have a longer video of them eating out of my hand on my other channel called Northern Seclusion. Here is the link. Thank you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I7b0LQ_fkDQ.html
As always, another great video Joe!! I just wanted to say, as a safety thing...use caution vacuuming up the ash and coals from the stove. I am a firefighter and have been to a few fires over the years where folks have sucked up a hot coal and it burnt the vacuum up and unfortunately one time their house. I along with all your followers and yourself would be devastated if anything happens to the tent!! This is by far my favorite channel on RU-vid or TV!! Take care.
well Joe i just don't know what to say this time that hasn't already been said other than your a good man. thank you for taking us along on this years Minnesotas opening deer firearms season 2017. there are so many comments this time, your followers are defiantly speaking up for your support. you really have been blessed with everything you have there and i am proud that you have included all of us along with you. my dreams of such a place are only dreams and you bring those to light with your videos. Thank you. I hope you and Melissa have a blessed Thanksgiving and a safe trip down to see her. Thank you again Joe stay safe and bless you and your family. Thanks again.
Joe, Pay attention to what the deer is showing you, they will stay in cover when it is real cold or wind is blowing fairly hard, as the temps are a lot warmer due to no wind chill factor. When you seen the tracks walking in to get the camera, there were tracks everywhere, but as soon as you got to the clearing and also where your stand is located, no tracks! My suggestion is to have a climbing stand in the truck and with conditions as they are, use that stand to put in a tree close to where you see a lot of tracks. Deer will avoid areas that are void of cover when it's windy or really cold. I have been hunting deer for 60 years and have figured out to not hunt when weather is bad. Many times I have cursed the state game commission over when the dates they set for modern gun season, here in Kentucky it is always the second Saturday of November, and many times it is so warm that if you were lucky enough to harvest a deer, it would spoil before you could get it out of the field. Their excuse is that is when the Rut is happening, as a farm owner and I see deer every day, and I say it is PRE RUT and the time for the various bucks to establish their pecking order. I can give the game commission a good argument that the most actual rutting does not begin until around the third or fourth week in December. A deer's gestation period is approx. 4 months, so if the rut was as they say the beginning of Nov, that would make the birth to occur the beginning of March, still way too cold for fawns that new to survive while the mother is away feeding so that she can produce milk. It really doesn't warm up in this area until the last of April.
After making a cook like that with the frying Pan out love to see you show a step-by-step on how you clean that frying Pan being that it's cast iron with no plumbing thank you love your channel.
Amazing! I remember when yo had battery power, A generator and now power. Love to see you bring the wood in, I do it all the time! No onemakes the lifestyle videos like you! Keep em coming!
As a new video suggestion - take us through, please, how you hunt a stand in 10 to -10 degree weather - layered clothing, heater options, hand and head protection, boot options, protection from wind chill. Here in Michigan, we understand hunting on 20 to 30 degree mornings, but your temperatures entail a whole different level of preparation and logistics. Thank you.
Love the videos, life is good in "Gods Country". Sitting in a deer stand, observing nature, that is what it is all about. Listening to Saturday morning polka on wely, does it get any better.
Hello, to be honest I hate those long videos, most of the time they are borrowing. But yours........can’t be long enough. Great great stuff. I appreciate those RU-vid videos knowing that none of you is a professional and knowing how time consuming this is.
Yes !!! I find you every fall/ winter for these awesome cold weather, in the tent videos. Longtime subscriber. First time commenting. You inspired me to do a Iowa crawdad boil this summer. My family thought it was awesome !! Greetings from SE Iowa. Keep up loading and I will keep watching !!
I have to give it to you Joe, sitting 4 hours in those temps is not easy to do. I go out in the cold but usually sit for a while then get up and walk a bit.
Whitetail deer are known to feed 5 times a day so certain days they will literally be FORCED to move. I like your thinking of "I can't shoot them at home" because you are 100% right. If you get a string of cold days let's say 1-2 days of low teens and then it shoots up to mid 30's I would try for an all day sit because the deer(especially bucks) will be on there feet looking for food and the next hot doe! I love your videos they hit home because I live right here in Minnesota too. Keep up the great videos! -Treyton C
Takes Hr to warm a camp in winter ! Not only do you have to warm camp you have to warm every thing in it.I take a propane salamander with me when it's real cold open all the doors for 20 min first .that warms it up 5deg than stoke wood stove two construction heaters mounted to ceiling and light salamander and leave it run for a hr.door open a crack.that gives it a good start to warming up
Joe, I'm sure those two birds were happy to run across you! You made two new friends! Hopefully next weekend will bring you better luck, this weekend when I am in my stand I'll be wishing you and all the other hunters luck!
I'd have to agree 10 minutes into the video already making my day absolutely love watching the show. Hope you have good luck next week. Love to watch you butcher a deer
hey Joe them birds were awesome watching them eat out of your hands that was so COOL I sure hope you get one our rifle season ends tue the 21st then doe season is Dec 1-3 then muzzle loading season is Dec 23rd through Jan 2nd i had a neighbor gave me a doe last night the 18th of Nov so i will have some deer I'm 60 years old and have never harvest a deer yet i still go out and try just getting out in the outdoors is great I really love your videos you put in a lot of time making them and i am glad that you do and i watch every add that's on them i hope it helps a little tell the next one stay safe tell your kid hi for me from bob in Missouri
Man that is so cool feeding the birds - better than the picture! It’s terrible you haven’t gotten a deer, and I cant get anyone to come shoot them at my house. If I knew how to clean one, I’d do it myself...
Cool love whiskey jacks used to feed them when i went snow mobiling in the mountains. Stop for lunch and they would land on my knee. Also known as grey jays
Thanks for the new video Joe ,we don't do much dear hunting in Australia . The men usually go for Kangaroos.and wild pigs. Love the bird feeding . It must be so cold sitting in the stand go luck on your next attempt. Regards Chris
Ha Joe just wanted to wish you and your family a great Christmas and all the best in the new year .Thanks for all the videos keep them coming, really enjoy watching your adventures at the tent Dale
I am going to post a longer video on them eating out of my hands on my other channel Northern Seclusion. I may do that yet tonight. You will have to check it out. They are amazing.
Nice video Joe! Even though your not seeing much, just getting away out in the woods is the best feeling. This weekend is our deer opener in NY. Can’t wait to get some tree stand therapy lol
I really have enjoyed watching these video's, brings back so many good memories when I & my hub's use to head out to the woods to deer hunt, we didn't have deer stands but he's help me get into the tree, then head on down to another area, yeah I remember when I shot my first deer, cause I missed shooting due to 'the shakes', I was for warned, its real LOL
We call that 40 to one. 40 pieces of potatoes to one piece of meat lol Hamburger meat, onions, potatoes and usually peas. Add some water with the mixture, just enough to make a gravy then serve on bread. Yummy.
Hey Joe that looked bitterly cold. At least you got two new friends to keep you company while you're out there. You'll get one this next week when you're out there again.
That 4 hr drive would do me in.My camps 20 min from my house ya I know big trip ! But I am fro Eastern canada don't have to go far to find wilderness luck that way
What a life, you got it made! I could live at the tent. Matter of fact maybe you should let me live their year round to maintain it free of charge. Lol
Finallly!!! Im watching from my blind as we speak. Unfortunately its raining pretty hard out so they wont be moving. But like you said in a previous video, theres always a dumb one that wants to get out and walk around in bad weather.
Yo Joe, love watching your tent videos. Alway relaxing and makes me want to get to the outdoors! Hope you get a deer! Also, get a bigger bucket for your ashes for the stove. LOL!
Great video work.. Oh my gawd, -10 , doesn't seem a hunter could withstand temps like that, i'm not so sure i could unless i had one of the new electric heater hunting suits.. battery powered .. I gotta hand it to you , you are out there working at getting a deer.. You fix up some meals that look really tasty .. Johnny's Seasoning salt i ordered came, Hunters Blend, pretty good , it's funny none of the fellows i hunt with have even heard about it ... I hope you score..
Two things: 1) have you ever tried wool army blankets to stay warm in your blind? I keep mine in a bucket with a snap on lid so I can leave them out there between hunts. 2) okay, this one you're probably gonna kick up a little fuss over. Buy yourself a pair of women's tights ( colored pantihose) and use these as a first layer. Remarkable difference. Talked a boyfriend into trying it one year and he was amazed.
Well Joe I see no deer, but man your meals sure do look good, keep up the eating, oops I mean hunting............. I think I would find a place to sit in that area where you seen all the tracks.
I am a Korean viewer who is always listening to your videos. I have a question. There was always a lumbering agent that you used to use for firewood.What is the liquid used for wood? Alcohol ... Oil. Any other substance? I really love snowy tents. 멋진 텐트! 화이팅!
