Tracking Big Bucks on Snow! | Deer Tracking | Big Woods Deer Hunting 

did you notice its real quick,at 16:43 when you say rubbed that tree, about 50 yards up a deer ran down over the hill to the left ...congrats awesome hunt

Awesome, great hunt. Perseverance defined! Not sure if you noticed, but 16:43 you can see a deer run in the background as you were looking at that little rub.

My father brought me hunting for the first time when I was 10. We spent 2 weeks at my uncles camp and hunted in Sharon and Pomfret. I have not been back since 1980. However, those early years made me love hunting, fishing and the beautiful state of Vt. This video was awesome and made this old man smile. God Bless

Great video! It brought back so many memories of late fall, high hardwood hills with lots of deer tracks in the snow. I am from New Brunswick Canada. I am 64 and grew up on a farm. I hunted whitetail bucks on public land and around rural farm land for 40 years. First with the rifle and then the bow. Way back in the 1980's public land here was crawling with big bucks. I am talking a dozen buck scrapes in one line all over the place. At first I was just spooking a lot of deer by moving too fast. I tried a bit of tracking, but never liked it that much. I always preferred open hardwood because of the better visibility. But those cornflake leaves are a tricky stalk. I read an article in outdoor life from a guy who would still hunt the woods by timing himself. So I began doing it. I would time myself for 5 minute intervals. I would look ahead and examine my route, then move 50 feet very quickly. Then stand another 5 minutes. Before each move you scan the woods ahead, and move quickly. Its like stand hunting, but moving your stand as you go. I took a lot of nice bucks through those years by hunting this way. I used a Remington 700 7mm mag. And would stand behind a tree to stay hidden, and to have something to rest my rifle against at the shot. Always behind the shoulder or neck shots. I killed many bucks on hardwood ridges in dry crunchy leaves, or hard packed snow that never knew I was there. That is how a deer moves though the woods. stopping and listening and looking. Tracking works as well of course. Just too much risk of spooking a buck for me, and more chance of them running. I don't hunt anymore. No big deer left here on crown land at all. Hardly any does either. All of the deer are now in rural and subdivisions. And not many big bucks at all. I just film moose and wildlife now. Had a great run though. Took around 15 nice bucks with the rifle, and a dozen or so with the bow (from stand). Try my method of still hunting and you will see how well it works. One morning I stalked a buck in late November deer season. My friend had been hunting nearby. He said I can't believe you just walked up on that buck! So ..in the afternoon I hunted with him and showed him my method. We didn't find a deer...but instead walked right up on large black bear digging beech nuts in the snow. He had no idea we were there. He was still there digging, as we timed our way by him. It works very well! Sure do miss them good ole days! NBMooselover

Very nice !! Great video and beautiful buck. Dave.

#GotItDone #blessed #humble #harvest Hell of a nice Buck!!! Congrats

From MN. Much respect for you Eastern hunters cutting tracks. 👏 We mostly hunts from stands but I sometimes use the same method. You guys are beasts.

Adam it the RAMBO first blood 🩸 movie 🍿. One good thing lead in the air there hope 😊.

Great video!!! You guys in the NE do it right. I’ve hunted the same way here in Michigan and people here think I’m an alien or something. 🤷‍♂️

One of the best overall tracking videos I’ve seen!!

Great video and what a buck! Congrats!! I moved to the Southeast about 10 years ago.. We don't get a ton of snow, but when we do I grab my 30-30 or .35 Remington and go walking. I've ran into so many who think that are great deer hunters.... I tell them about the speci,al breed of deer hunters in the mountains of New Yorkastan, Vermont, NH and Maine who can look at a track and not only tell you it's a buck, but damn near what it weighs... A LOT scoff, but some know... A few have checked out videos like this one.... Then they get it.

Wooooooooow.Born here in Monkton vt,been here,never left.Ive seen very few,alive buck like that,6 in my life,so,congratulations sir

I have been hunting Maine and New Hampshire for 30 years this is real deer hunting in my opinion seem like every time you turn on the outdoor channel there is someone sitting in a heated blind over a food plot shooting 180 inch deer and they give them their own tv show Ray Charles could shoot a deer in a food plot

Nice work Adam, thank you for taking us along.

Congratulations!

Just a hint for ya. Put paper towels around your shells in your pocket with a rubber band. This stops the noise of them in your pocket! If you see a buck and if it were not for the noise he may have stopped!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Just goes to show you never give up!

Nice VT buck Adam .thanks for bringing us along with you on your hunt . nothing like tracking a buck best way to .

Now that's how it's done! Perseverance pays off. Congrats Adam, what a beauty of a buck! Well earned.

Great video Adam, it was awesome to see it at the FBM event, but it is awesome to see it and really see every little part of this video. Great job.

Great video. What an unbelievable hunt. Congrats he’s a beautiful buck.

Loved your video. It brought back many memories. I was raised in upstate New York. I spent many hours hunting and tracking deer. I am 73 now and those days are long gone. The irony is I have lived in Montana for the last 30 years. As I have gotten older my success rate and deer size have gone up. Slowing down does have its advantages.

Nice Buck !! Great Hunt and video !! Thanks for letting us tag along 😊

Well done, Sir!! Beauty of a buck.

Congrats! You’re perseverance paid off!

I shot a 8 point 170 in NEK on that same day it was a great day to be in the big woods for sure congrats that’s a great buck !!!!

Theres nothing like tracking in th3 snow in VT. I grew up in Vt and still live here. I dont rifle hunt anymore as much. I travel to bow hunt every year. but i will get out this year and do some tracking. Good luck thisnyear!

Well done sir

Bad ass!! Congrats

Nice video. That was good shooting. So fun.

Great hunt!!!

Nice work. Enjoyed your video

Well done my friend🤙

That's hunting. Rarely do I get a chance to track a deer in IL or IA (run out of property too quickly), same for still hunting. Congrats on a nice buck and thanks for the video.

Good job man!

awesome job

Forests, mountains, a predictable amount of tracking snow and square miles to roam during the firearms season. You buck trackers across VT, NH, ME and the NY Adirondacks are indeed fortunate. No wonder the best Whitetail hunters come from this region. Most can only dream of this kind of hunt.

Great video and buck! You guys should post a video on your jacket so we can get a good look at it. You’d probably sell a bunch more. Just a thought. 🦌

Awesome hunt. And u got it all on film,the 16th was the day to be in the green mountains . I also shot my best on the same day.

Praise God

At 16:43 @ deer can be seen running top left corner of screen!

Congratulations! Great shooting. Was concerned about your bullets jingling as you ran after him. Very noisey. But it didn't matter since the buck was dead.

Way to stick it out til the end of the day. I killed the same day and almost the same time. Same storm!

This pov feels like some hunting game lol

Great video. There’s no where better than New England.

Fantastic video! Great hunting and congrats on a beautiful buck.

I hunted Vermont for my first time this year. I absolutely loved it!!! I passed a very unique deer the first day. It had 4 points on one side and a twelve inch straight up spike on the other side. Pretty big bodied deer 185 lb or so. I was tagged out in Maine and NH so passing him was made a little easier. I absolutely loved the woods there, it was not clear cut, but totally uncut pristine forests. Coming from Maine it was a pleasure to walk through your beautiful woods. I will definitely be back this fall. I love you guys podcasts. Keep up the great work!!!

I live in Vermont I've killed a couple very nice bucks here my first 8 pt dressed 180 lbs my last was 7 pt 191 lbs dressed

Great video! I notice a lot of guys who track seem to opt for flannels as opposed to standard camo, especially in the Adirondacks/New England. What’s the reasoning behind that?

Good hunt, I’ve been tracking and hunting the Tug hill in northern ny. As you showed you have to hang on all day because sometimes things all come together at the last minute. On a side note what was the wool jacket you had on? Congratulations.

That can be a tough way to hunt..nice buck and is that a remington 760 Gamemaster?

Beautiful buck! What binoculars do you use on the track?

All you NE guys drive those tacomas. Is it because they’re small and you can gain better access in the mountains? Iknow they’re pretty good little 4 wheel drives.? Just curious

Awesome video! What camera gear did you use to get that angle?

Awesome buck congrats. Whats was the weight.

What gives you confidence you've found a small buck track vs. a big doe track? I'm new to this.

No orange requirement 😮cap isnt enough in any rifle area

16:44 you can see a deer running

Any relation to Stanley Lamson from Waterbury?

Fun stuff. Good buck. Great job working to get him. You guys need to learn what a "giant", "monster", "huge" buck is lol. As someone who grew up chasing bucks in NH and Maine I get it. But once you start spreading out to hunt the country you learn what true giant, huge, etc bucks are. And I'll add this, its damn hard hunting New England big woods. The deer numbers aren't high and the soils aren't great in most areas to grow real giant bucks. But still, your run of the mill 3 yr old isn't a giant or huge buck. Congrats on a good buck and the work ethic to get it done! Nice shot too!

I hunted the Adirondacks for over 32 years and NEVER took a shot at a running deer!! I have an 11 point and a 600 lb bear to my credit and neither took more than one shot. Sadly, due to their age, both weren't good to eat!

How do you not know if you hit the deer once or twice ? 🤔 is there one or two holes

I absolutely loved this video! I felt like I was with you from the comfort of my couch! You earned that buck and a new subscriber!

Awesome tracking mr very nice Buck 👍👍🦌 Congratulation Follow Hunter 👍 nice shooting Nice camera work guys 👍 what was the weight?? The Vermonter BS

Great hunt!
