A Whitetail Legacy of Faith w/ David Blanton | HUNTR Podcast

[@beefcakegolfer628]

I love how open David is about his faith in the lord. Truly amazing. The reason he’s one of my favorite in this industry.

[@HUNTRPOD]

What an amazing person

[@rorynelson7548]

Very refreshing to hear such a guy talk about missing deer for several years. Kinda brings everything back to reality

[@aaronvaught8027]

We definitely need more long stories from the legends!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Great interview. Glad to hear him give credit to God. Humble and thankful. Congrats on the ohio buck Jeremy! Cant wait for the next hunt companion!

[@daveyboy8907]

I spent every Sunday morning watching this man.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yea buddy!

[@thomasstine2299]

As always, love the show! Keep doing what you're doing! You're accomplishing the goal of taking everyone back to the earlier days of hunting in a simpler time. I would like to mention to you guys how many of your guests' are professing their faith to you and your audience. I know it's a controversial topic, but God is knocking (Revelation 3:20).

[@joberhauser19]

This man and his friends as well as Bill Dance, and the Spanish Fly are what made me the only outdoorsman in 3 generations.

[@chuck8586]

2 more days till openning day in PA, cant wait!! And david blanton was one of the first hunters i saw on vhs! Way way way back in 96 when i was 4

[@Rj_engel]

David truly is a legend! Got to meet him at NWTF last year before I went to Iowa and your right Jared, you do feel like you have known him forever😂. Good luck this fall boys!

[@HarvestOutdoors]

I have listened to you guys since the beginning. As the years have gone on, and I now have children (4 & 2), this was the perfect podcast to listen to. I have had a huge feeling of guilt and selfishness come over me recently. There is nothing close my wife does when it comes to hours and dollars spent compared to my hunting. My kids miss me awfully and I miss them. We don't need to hunt 50 days, but we often want to. As we become better hunters we can narrow the time spent in the field and refocus our priorities. I love what David said about God already knowing which buck you'll get and when. If that doesn't bring a peace over you and alleviate stress then I dont know what will. Jared, not having the memories from a deer camp setting as Jeremy did gave you a whole different perspective growing up. This seems to be the podcast where you are finally starting to long for that. I've commented on this before, as I know you have mentioned you are unsure if you want kids. If you and your wife are able to, I'd strongly consider it. I'd trade all of my solo hunts for a memory as David shared about hunting with his sons. I appreciate you both letting David tell his stories. This may not have been your vision for the podcast from the start, but I think it quickly turned into that and was well worth it.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Awesome feedback and really appreciate the thought into this comment. Have a great season!

[@Masonjar94]

Phenomenal podcast

[@adamphipps8586]

Wow that podcast was awesome!

[@chrisgibbs3304]

So refreshing! I was one of those waiting on all the hunting videos to hit the shelves in WalMart. I started bowhunting at 13 and missed and wounded a bunch of deer before I finally recovered one (at age 19). Everyone was bowhunting in a tree back in those days...and I miss it. I get why they hunt in blinds, but it just does not seem like bowhunting. I want to be to hear, smell, feel the wind in my face!

[@jordanhudson5075]

This is pretty sweet, I grew up watching David, cuz , tk and Mike lol, shockey, bill jordan, mtv, #3 vs #24, 90s bulls, the steroid era in baseball, HBOs late night shows😂😂 shit take me back now!!!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Preach!

[@grege8716]

OMG coming up hunting in the 80’s w/my Bear Whitetail Hunter compound, no rangefinder, sitting in a dried up creek bed cause we saw their tracks, thank you for bringing those early memories back!! ❤🦌 folks are gonna look at this podcast/video 20/30yrs from now and say ahhh sh*t had no idea, THANKS GUYS!!!

[@TimberAnglinDude]

That was maybe your best podcast ever.

[@mattboyereg6]

More nascar hunting stories please 🙏

[@StillTheTruth1]

Great interview. One of the true legends of the game.

[@ToddGreen-mg8gh]

Absolutely awesome to hear the stories from the early days of realtree!! I vividly remember watching those vhs tapes and tv shows, also to hear the stories with #3. Would love to have seen the look on Dales face as David is passing him!!

[@barryreynoldshuntingwithtr8728]

Best podcast ever thanks guys

[@jasonlarsen5739]

Best 2 hrs &45 min I've spent at work...great episode 👍

[@AndrewPorter10]

Great podcast. I hunted for 4 years before I got my first deer as a teenager. It has got me hooked since now in my mid 30s. My son got his first doe at 9 and his first turkey at 10. I do worry he won't appreciate it as much later on in life without the early struggles that you all talked about.

[@rubenroyer9488]

Listening to this episode brought back so many memories of my early years of hunting. Great stuff!

[@dogsoldier0372]

I hunted the same outfitter as Realtree with Eric Albus in Hinsdale, MT, he’s not exaggerating the numbers & sizes of the bucks out there. There really is no other place like the Milk River Valley. One year Eric Albus offered me the chance to hunt with a local guy on his dad’s farm right down from Eric’s ranch. Primos had hunted with this guy, Luke Strommen who was a really good guy, you may recall Primos doing those MT deer drive bowhunts Primos did for a few years. That farm or ranch those hunts were filmed on, the Strommen’s place was 100% the best tract of land for big bucks I’ve ever seen. I would see ten 150” + bucks every evening, 3-4 of them would be 170”’s +. I saw a 190”’s maybe 200” trash everywhere giant two evenings come out & wash his velvet off in a slough. That farm if you hunted hard a few days was good for a 150’s plus buck every September.

[@HUNTRPOD]

That’s wild!

[@StillTheTruth1]

Great section on the struggles and the common thread of sticking with it for the evential success and the on the adrenaline dump that follows. Not sure I've ever heard it described that well with the stories to match. It's quite a feeling! Enjoyed the content!

[@treylowe6174]

David Blanton is the Man!

[@HUNTRPOD]

One of the best!

[@chrisbacarella839]

He kept saying sorry for the info man that's the coolest story I've ever heard lol great episode

[@hoaoutdoors]

I could listen to David all day

[@veteranoutdoorsman9978]

Love this. I started deer hunting at 13 and killed my first one at 19. Kids today will never understand. I remember whole seasons not even seeing deer.

[@Problem.child.5087]

That was an awesome video i loved it keep up the work

[@Chris-oo7lx]

Wow. What a great week for the huntr pod.

[@jonathanleinbach4063]

hunted a river in Montana last year. Sounds allot like the milk river. An outfitter that leases 300,000 acres. The whitetails coming out in the evening were unbelieveable --Love Montana

[@daltonmoore7889]

Well 9:15 pm heading to ok as we speak perfect listen for the drive good luck guys 🦌

[@zaahatchetmangaming]

Good work showing that shirt off guys!

[@lanevickers1856]

West Michigan got hammered with EHD, and still going

[@melvingreen7733]

Nice something to listen to in the tree stand for opening day of archery in Maine on Saturday

[@jamesmiceli6148]

Missed the biggest buck of my life late season in January down in south Alabama. He was coming into the rye grass crop on a super cold day, could tell he was wore out from chasing all rut body was not swollen anymore but rack was huge!

[@chuck8586]

30:45 i started hunting in PA in 2004, just rifle until 2013, didnt get my first deer until i was 21 with a muzzleloader, went on streak after that with 8 more deer in the next 8 years, and my first buck ever in 2015, with 6 buck since. I dont know what would have happened if i was very successful immediately, but i know suffering through not being successful made me starve for getting it right. And i still have that drive to be successful now

[@Raised-Right]

Started bow huntn at 14 cuz i was a runt and couldn't get 45 lbs back til then. Missed deer those first 2 years left and right, then finally got a fawn when I was 16. Wasn't pretty cuz I gut shot her then had to put another arrow in her when lookin for her. After gettin that first one with a bow then I became lethal. But the ride is what has made it so fun in my life. Good luck this season everyone!

[@chuck8586]

1:29:32 no there probably are not any places left where no one hunts. However! There are absolutely some whitetail meccas out there that only the locals know about. And there are definitely some places that hold the potential to be meccas if just one or two things were different, or current trends continue and they just get a bit more time

[@DavidCox-c7g]

I remember you in the video November whitetails.

[@TheGuyFromWI]

Talking to these guys about faith and humility is a square peg in a round hole.

[@jessehoffmann9942]

Please sell the DVDs again. I always buy them and watch year around

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha right. They were awesome

[@mikepoulson384]

I have a trespasser cell cam up cause I hunt urban. Never expected to get a pgc guy

[@CentralMississippiWhitetail]

Like the old deer Internet forums said all the time “A net is for a fishing…if they grew it we all want it to count.”

[@Raised-Right]

Knock on wood, we're still good here in brown county, ive talked to every farmer and Hunter i know between schuyler and brown and luckily no one's found anything dead yet...

[@adamsmith8980]

I live in Clark county illinois. I’ve found just 2 dead so far. A friend I know found 36 dead on one farm

[@daveyboy8907]

2.5 hour video with a commercial every 5 min is a little much guys.I hope this isn't the new norm.

[@chuck8586]

I think thats on youtube but i have no clue, im on youtube red for the last decade, havent had an ad in years other than the ones they actually put in the video, which i just fast forward through

[@HUNTRPOD]

Weird yea we don’t control the KZbin commercials I wonder why so much??

[@huntfishandgrow4140]

Sometimes a KZbin ad will roll shortly after one of your built in commercials and it kills the pacing.

[@daltonstansick8930]

I’m not sure how your video is different than mine but I had almost no ads on this podcast when normally they are about every 5 minutes

[@jordanhudson5075]

I haven’t got a commercial much at all

[@rorynelson7548]

Glad to hear you quit using cell cams. Welcome back to true hunting

[@timmytuffy5344]

Exactly what he said about milk river is the same damage is done when guys air videos on other public lands and then say they aren’t why it blew up……come on really lol

[@lynnydimes2353]

1:10:53 whitetail adrenaline *

[@dannyatkinson3744]

These TV hunters destroyed hunting for the average person. Social media and all the Realtree videos turned it into a rich man's game. David Blanton said it himself in this video. Realtree destroyed opportunities for the average person too hunt a place like the milk river.

[@Bearman826]

I’m really surprised that David came on this podcast. With all the profanity I’ve heard here in the pass .
