I like 👍 your style, you have a good setup,. RICHARD from B . C.

Very nice video from hunting ..but I don't understand why you didn't shoot before one nice Buck in forest or 4 point, any way... thx for video .Looks to me WMU 337.area . Best regards from one AB Hunter 👍🌿🍁💕🦌🐻🐺🌿🍁👍

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Hey Tony thanks for the comments! I only want to shoot mature(old) bucks, and the deer I filmed on that hunt were all young deer. Hoping for better luck this year!

[@TonchyShultz]

@@GrizzlyCountry I know a friend and I missed it ... many times but I get find later ..and I like to make a mix of sausages with deer so for that reason, I shoot maximal best then ..because "better a little bird in my hands than a falcon in the sky". our saying / idiom.! Thx and keep going buddy! 👍💕🌿🦌🐺🐻🍁🌿👌

[@daleweaver1705]

Now that's how to make a video. Thanks for not whispering through the whole video like most ppl do. That's so irritating.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

I'm not really very good at shooting video, but I just try to make it authentic. There's definitely a learning curve to produce these darn videos.

[@forthrightnight]

B.C. calling: Pretty good taste in music, for an Albertan.

[@jeffrotullstein]

Great video; not every hunt has to end in a kill. The wind-damaged camp scenes were priceless !! Hope you are able to get some trail cam shots of the BIG LAD ...

[@BootTrackStories]

Good job from a fellow Albertan. I subscribed 👍

[@bryanengvaldsen3868]

Lmao, can you hit a c note and follow a beat with the grunt. I Love it.

[@jaymartin5434]

Nice video .proves deer see movement ..I have been sitting or standing and had them walk right to me ..as long as you don't move ..I would love to hunt up there .. enjoyed watching thanks ridgerunner802

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Hey Jay thanks for the comments, yes deer are amazing at detecting movement, but will not see a motionless figure!

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Awesome footage very nice country 👍 thank you for sharing this 👍🐾🦌 The Vermonter

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Excellent, I appreciate that very much!

[@cmann47647]

Awesome video. Hey, that’s hunting. Great time, and some scotch always helps.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Thanks buddy!

[@Levi-Willis]

Great video Jim, I didn't see you post anything since the last vid I commented on. Turned on the notifications now. You have awesome patience. First 4 pointer I would have had a hard time not shooting. Would have been a short camping trip for me.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Thanks Levi. Patience is my middle name, haha!

[@RWH3354]

Enjoyed the vid & Ur narration...hope U get Ur dream buck next year! I'm subscribing to I can see him! Stay well my friend! Ross

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Thanks Ross, will keep the videos rolling!

[@ravenfeather7087]

Love my Summit climber but don't like climbing frozen popple in it. The bark is too smooth. I was about half way up a cold popple one morning and took my hands off the top and it instantly dropped down to the bottom half. It felt like I was standing there with my pants down around my ankles. Fortunately it was just a reminder to keep some weight on the seat/top half or away she'll go!

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Absolutely! Frozen poplars are tricky, you have to be careful once it gets to -10C. What I do is as I move the top section up, I 'saw' the tree with the gripper teeth to make sure it bits into the wood. The bottom half I find no issues as my weight holds it. But I really sink the grippers on it too.

[@somanysunrises]

Great video ! Not sure what you’re carrying in your pack but ever consider saddle hunting ? Definitely lighter than packing a climber in and out… can’t wait to see more! I saddle hunt and by gosh it’s awesome ! So light my setup is maybe 10lbs maybe 15 lbs calls, sandwich, range finder, camera, water, knife! Goodluck !

[@GrizzlyCountry]

I think I'm too old for that, haha. Self-climber is easy really. And I don't have any issue toting it about.

[@miksretirementadventures9795]

What beautiful country. Can't wait to see next years hunt. What caliber is your Marlin? I subscribed Miks Wild Retirement Adventures

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Thanks buddy! My Marlin is a .45-70. Big thumper in the timber.

[@heathuntersfinland4001]

Good video👌🏼

[@greggtaylor8666]

Great video. Very well done

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Very nice, I appreciate that Gregg!

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Jim - Could you please tell me the name of the acoustic guitar song playing in the first part of this video? I’m a hunter and guitar player and would like to learn the song. I’ve heard it before and have been searching for the name of this particular song. Thanks, in advance.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Hey mate the song is just called 'Country Guitars', I downloaded it on Wondershare Filmora.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Hey buddy I just ran across your video here!!! Absolutely awesome video buddy!! One question I have about the the 300H&H how does it compare to a Remington Mdl 700 in a 300 Short Action Ultra Mag cartridge??? I ended up buying the very first one from scheels sporting goods store and after buying it I found out that they didn’t have ammo for it!! I asked them when they would be getting some in for it and they said they didn’t no when!! My wife’s uncle does lots and lots of shooting and no’s a couple Remington reps so I called the wife’s uncle and asked him since he was the one that had told me about the 300 short action ultra mag to begin with instead of just getting a 300 ultra mag!! He ended up calling two or three different Remington reps to see if they could get any ammo for the gun!! All the reps returned his phone cal back saying they couldn’t get any ammo for it yet but they was working on it for sure!!! Needless to say it took over 6 months before I was able to even get ammo for it!!! After shooting the gun though it is a super flat shooting gun with over 50% less recoil then the 300 ultra mag has!! Absolutely love that gun and I can definitely hit stuff quite a ways away with it also!!

[@GrizzlyCountry]

J.J., I have no experience with the .300 Short Action Ultra Mag. I can tell you the .300H&H is a great cartridge. To be honest a .300WSM or .300WinMag probably make more sense, as ammo is much easier to get for those. But since I handload that's not an issue for me. I have lots of brass, bullets etc...

[@MLSPlatforms]

Get a 300 win mag , you can get ammo pretty much anywhere, unless you hand load stick with a caliber that’s common

[@j.j.clingman4083]

@@MLSPlatforms the 300 wind mag has way too much kick to it!! My wife’s uncle has a couple of them and he told me that they kick pretty hard and he’s a 6’4” tall and has a curb grinding Business and a poured foundation walls business and has probably more guns and has been on more hunts than a person ever gets to do in there whole life!!! He said that when he goes out and shoots his 300 ultra mag that he can only shoot it maybe 10 times before his shoulder is bruised!! That was why he told me to get the new 300short auction ultra mag!! Because it doesn’t have even have the kick back like a 12gauge does!!! He said that I would definitely be much happier with a much lighter recoiling gun than one that would leave bruises all over my shoulder!!! And once someone gets uncomfortable from shooting it tends to lead to not as good of shooting groups!! We’ll I’m definitely happy with getting my 300 S.A.U.M and I can definitely shoot anything that a 300 U.M. Or 300win mags can shoot and definitely with less drop than those guns shooting with!! I just had baught the 300S.A.U.M before they started making ammo for it to just see how well the sells would be for it!! I have also got a leupold scoop with a 8x20x50 on it!!! Definitely the best scoops for the money and I have a leupold on every long range gun that I have!!!!

[@louiealbert7602]

Did you get permit for getting that firewood don’t cost you anything but fish and wild life want you to have one you can get it on line

[@GrizzlyCountry]

It's all from trees that have been blown over by high winds, and I only take nice dry timber.

[@VE7KKE]

Love the hunting videos. Why do y they have to spoil them with the swearing and cussing that is not needed.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

No argument, I certainly could clean that up.

[@brandoncarey2329]

That sucks! Good job though. I would have probably lost my shit!

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Are you talking about the tent? I can tell you I was pissed! First thing I intended to do that day was to peg the tent down. I couldn't believe it when I found it upside down!

[@sheldonphilp3402]

you could have tried howling at those wolves< remember how it worked for me bud!

[@sheldonphilp3402]

And I am planning for next year

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Yessir, you are the calling master!!

[@GrizzlyCountry]

I hope so... I've got a monster buck 'tied up', with your name on it!@@sheldonphilp3402

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

Best secure your game and camp with a portable electric bear fence. 2.4 lbs for huge peace of mind

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Cynthia I do have an electric bear fence! In Nov when the bears are (supposed to be) hibernating I have not used it. But spring and fall I do.

[@ByLeb]

how big inches wise you think that monster guy is?

[@GrizzlyCountry]

ByLeb, what I can tell you is it was the biggest live on the hoof whitetail I ever saw, in terms of body. He was round like a 45 gal drum, just thick! He crossed the highway in front of me, stopped in the ditch, turned to look at me, and it was dark so I couldn't see how tall his tines were, just saw the width and the mass, which was incredible. I cannot guess at "score" or "inches". But it made me think... 'Wow, deer get that big!?'

[@GrizzlyCountry]

And btw, the 'score' on a deer is only part of it, right? A giant bodied, massive racked, old, mature whitetail... one of those monsters that usually only live in your dreams... one with such massively thick rack that you don't care what the score is. It was a privilege just to have seen that buck.

[@ByLeb]

@@GrizzlyCountry yea one of those giants that keep you up a night even years after you see him. Have a few of those will never forget them.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

@@ByLeb Sadly I have an arms length of stories on the 'big one that got away'...

[@ByLeb]

@@GrizzlyCountry when i say big ones i mean 10” over a booner. 180+ it hurts big time

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

With your target shots your gun is WAY OFF !!! I suggest you do a lot more target work.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Mark I switched to my .30-06 this year and I'm pretty happy with my results. Jim.

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

@@GrizzlyCountry I’m definitely not a know it all lol. I do shoot a lot though ! If you have the opportunity to shoot 300 yds I suggest you target your gun at that. The last thing any of us want to do is cripple any animal much less one of a lifetime for the wolves to catch. The more you shoot the better you get. Really enjoyed your content

[@GrizzlyCountry]

@@MarkSmith-qk2rl Well thank you sir, glad you liked my video. For the record I made a 10-ring center shot on my whitetail this year, at 253 yards.

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

@@GrizzlyCountry congrats.

[@tp7393]

Quit cussing... Kids were watching! Adios

[@GrizzlyCountry]

Thank you I have had other people comment on that, I will clean it up!

[@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572]

Your shooting for antlers to put on the wall so you can say YOUR THE MAN. you should shoot for food. Women consider a real man puts food on the table not antlers on the wall.

[@brianloeffler2245]

Maybe it wasn't the wind. Is it a possibility that Big Foot turned your camp over ?

[@GrizzlyCountry]

That's a good one, lol.

[@brianloeffler2245]

@@GrizzlyCountry Glad you found the humor !! "Bigfoot" Hide and seek world champion !! Enjoyed your video very much. Very authentic and for yourself , I assume very rewarding.

[@GrizzlyCountry]

@@brianloeffler2245 Well Big Guy if you got to the end of the video of course I came home with 'tag soup', suffered the old 'next year' syndrome again! And now I can't wait for next year to roll around! 🦌

[@brianloeffler2245]

@@GrizzlyCountry Just the way you do it. setting up wall tent. To burning the wood and everything else that's evolved. Deer or no deer we do it because we love it and everything that goes with it. I've bow hunted wisconsin for the last 30 years with my brother and father. Dad don't hunt anymore I'm 50 brother is 62 and we both hunt hard. Drag/cart our deer out sometimes a mile and a half !! Not easy alot of people wouldn't do it because they need their 4 wheeler. But the hard things are what makes it rewarding for the both of us. My son 31 years old hunted for the first time ever. He has a hard time keeping up with us but I also lost my job of 20 years in sept. So I was able to hunt almost every day and got in pretty good shape. But my wife demanded I come home today after 3 months in the woods. I was home maybe 10 days out of the 3 months. The last thing I watched before leaving the cabin was your video and it was probably one of the best I watched all fall. Thank God she understands my love of the woods and the comorodity I share with my brother and now my son !! Best of luck to you in everything you do !!

[@GrizzlyCountry]

@@brianloeffler2245 That's friggin' awesome to hear buddy, ya I am in the same boat. I walk everywhere, the ATV might get used to drag out a moose or haul some supplies, but hunting is done on foot! Jim
