Busted at the 2021 off grid Minnesota deer camp!

[@jackieformo2775]

Time spent with your kids is always a win. 🙏🏽 Better luck next year with your harvest season. 🦌

[@TRERUNSWILD]

True!

[@campbenny]

Rough hunt. Thanks for sharing your adventure! Good luck next season from our deer camp to yours !! 🦌

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Thanks! You too!

[@bigbake3306]

Awesome great to see you guys out in the woods. No luck over here yet in Both PA and NJ but have some time left.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you pull a rabbit out of the hat at the end at least. I guess I'm going to have to start ice fishing!

[@you_down_with_pjc]

FINALLY a hunting video where it isn't a venison & antler bonanza! The bust is real-- thanks for capturing the struggle! 🤣🦌

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Some days you get the bear. Some days the bear gets you! Thanks for commenting. Glad to meet you!

[@paulpuckerinGM]

Hey y’all sorry deer season was a bust. Elusive creatures when they wanna be. Good to see you out hanging with Hunter. Hope all is well my friend be well and stay safe. Your mate Paul.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

I hope you are getting excited to come home! Was it this week or next? So much for venison for the freezer. I guess its carrots and cabbage for me.

[@paulpuckerinGM]

@@TRERUNSWILD hey ya buddy yep it's this week I'm coming home! I leave UK for Germany 14 Dec, then 15 Dec Germany to USA. (Bristol/Frankfurt/Chicago/New Orleans). I am really excited to be home in NOLA for Christmas. All the best brother. Tofurkey for Christmas for you and River Dog. ;-) Ha ha. Be well.

[@lonniehollifield133]

Hey big guy, sorry about the deer season being slow for y'all, I saw about 50 to 75, I killed a small 140lb 6 point but my daughter was able to kill her first buck, killed it with a .260 Remington. Super proud of her she's really took an interest in the outdoors!!

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Holy smokes Lonnie! That's a crazy amount of deer. Congrats to your girl that's a memory she will have forever. Congrats to you for putting a freezer full of food up for the family!

[@lonniehollifield133]

I've really laid off the deer this year as my wife and daughter wants to hunt, my daughter this is her second, first was a big doe with a crossbow last year, my wife is still hopeful. Our season starts second week of September and goes until January 1st.

[@bwcok7947]

Great video! We had a great deer season in WV. Even though it was only a couple of days on the weekend like you guys. Work seems to always get in the way. LOL! We will try archery for the rest of Ohio's season. Stay safe and healthy!

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Hey Bud. Yeah we have 3 solid weeks here. Because the deer are few and far between. Hard winters, a few wolves and old growth habitat don't help much for growing the herd. Good luck with the bow! Send pics!

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

i know the feeling your having. i went 8 yr's before up in michigan's U.P with out getting a deer, and one yr i sat dark to dark for 2 weeks and didn't even see a deer. had fresh tracks in the snow in my tracks but never did see one. so i know your feeling.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Ouch! No way I'd be able to gut that out. Plus this was a warm winter so I shouldn't even complain!

[@Ufishinfeathiesp]

Aren't wolves just wonderful

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

the good old collapsed pop up...... been there done that. LOL Sorry about your luck.....or there lack of. We had a rough season too. other than my one deer I got during archery.....we had a slow season. Better luck next time. best wishes

[@TRERUNSWILD]

It was a weird year for lots it seems. I have an old Bear bow. Spending days i the autumn leaves sounds much better than snow!

[@jeffclark862]

Sorry you busted. If I may make a suggestion, next year try tucking your ground blind into a group of trees. It will be less noticeable and you can tie it to the branches for more stability. I was hoping you would have success. I didn't get to go at all this season, stupid cancer treatments. Maybe we will have a harvest in 2022. Thanks for sharing.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Oh Man. Kind of puts life in perspective doesn't it? I'm sorry you are down. If ya don't mind I'm going to add you in my prayers this week. Please keep us updated on how you are doing and feeling.

[@evanmeier3570]

Hey Terry. At least you were able to get the pop up blind folded back into the case. Those things seem to have a mind of their own. I’ve spent more time folding them up, than sitting in them some seasons. It looked pretty mild weather wise. They just don’t have any reason to move when it’s like that. No point to sit out all day. Always next year!

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Right on. Oh trust me it still took me 15 minutes to get that blind circled back up! Glad I'm not the only one that has issues!

[@go4lowcost652]

Good for the deer, it survived the weekend. Waiting around alone in a cold hunter post/tent, to me appears to be the most boring time ever, but to each his own. I rather be building or fixing something. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!!! Take care and be well.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

LOl! Funny how I hunt them for the season them protect and look out for them the rest of the year. I've been thinking about hunting somewhere else because i like having them around.

[@kurtz260]

A cheap way to maximize your woodstoves potential is to buy some landscape blocks, of a decent size and stack them around your stove. They add a lot of thermal mass for really cheap right now

[@TRERUNSWILD]

That's a great idea. I would worry about the weight since its just a shed but I wonder if the back heat panel could be done in that way?

[@kurtz260]

@@TRERUNSWILD you could add some cement board and do the cement stack stone that looks like stones fairly inexpensive would help store heat

[@TRERUNSWILD]

@@kurtz260 that’s a thought. Would look better than culvert tin also

[@rodneywager2142]

Tre if that's your property look up whitetail habitat solutions.. Jeff has great sets for whitetail deer. Good luck

[@TRERUNSWILD]

(taking notes) Never heard of that channel. I will. Ive thought plots would be nice but dont know where to start with them or other stuff. Thanks for the tip.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

I know, right!!? Woo Yoo!

[@kurtz260]

Just a suggestion, but I would sew on a few tabs to your "door" then a few buttons to the tent and not use the zippers. There are no zipper sounds in nature and that sound really carries in the cold. I also like to leave my stove loaded with a ready to light fire, may help a desperate, stranded hunter and gets an instant hand warmer next trip. Bummer you didn't even get a glimpse but thats a hunters life for sure. Thanks for sharing, love your camp set up

[@TRERUNSWILD]

This is the first year I used the pop up the whole time. It was nice to get out of the wind. I'll have to look into some mods for next year for sure. plus those zippers were frozen shut. Only a matter of time before the tab breaks off forcing it. Loading the stove would be nice for even my purpose. If the coals are dead when I'm ready to scoot.

[@patrickjrusaw]

I have a weird maybe dumb question I understand that orange camouflage is for safety but why not use orange camouflage on the deer blind itself that way it will prevent a greenhorn from discharging their fire arm into a deer blind thinking the hunter moving inside is a deer.? you have great videos keep them coming

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Super valid point. If I was on public land I wouldn't even use that blind. I'm on 100 acres of private land. If someone is there that doesn't know I'm there we have big problems. But you are right. It would be a good idea to throw a flag up there at least.

[@squirrellyacres]

I feel your pain, we saw does, but no bucks. I think it had to do with the moon, run all night and rest in the day time. $ of us walked the public land next to our property and didn't kick up anything. I agree 100% with your comment (Deer camp is about memories and time spent with family). Maybe we'll get lucky next year or try the bow.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

100% with ya! I was thinking about bow season for next year. I guess I can put my name on the car kill list with the sheriff and shop the scratch and dent sale.

[@kimnelligan9820]

You would’ve thought right where you’re at is prime spot there’s water and valleys everything right there around you

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Plenty of tracks on the trails, I think the weather hurt. Next year I'll put cameras up and see when they move.

[@roseydays]

I wonder if your wife watches your videos, i get scared watching you do some things you do, but I keep watching, i guess it's like the deer and headlights,

[@TRERUNSWILD]

She has not watched one video and thinks it's silly for me to make them. So shhhh! Dont tell her anything..... :)

[@Gugong_camp]

😍.😍 It's a really cool place.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Spoliler alert Lee. I never saw a deer all season.

[@thalleshoward3962]

There is nothing like deer camp. Post more hunting videos.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Thanks Thailes. It's a balance I'm still working through. I have lots of vids I'd like to make but some of my subs hate the hunting stuff. Bummer because thats what this self sufficient back to the land is about for me.

[@mixmediaproductions]

Use 'Tink's' Deer bomb.. 35 feet out.. and find a scent kill for you and the ground block. I always dress up the ground cover next to a tree or brush to break up what it looks like.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

The pop up was only up two weeks in advance. That may have been to soon as well?

[@brianw6645]

If you happened to see bigfoot, would you take a shot?

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Only with my camera! With my luck I'd get arrested by the DNR for hunting a non-game animal!

[@jons7677]

COVID ruined our 2021 season, brother got it right before opening day. He was out of commission the whole season and just got back to somewhat normal. I didn't get anything, COVID or a deer. 😂

[@TRERUNSWILD]

Ugh! Hopefully you have a better season next year!

[@stephenlwest]

How many acres do you have?

[@TRERUNSWILD]

I have 15 of my own. I lease the 40 next to me for hunting and am surrounded by 1,000's of acres of public land.

[@MuskyJaeger19]

The northern Minnesota deer herd is in tough shape. The deer are very nocturnal and the wolves run rampant. When politics dictate game management the hunters lose. I am getting less and less enthused about deer hunting on public land in this state.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

One of the reasons I bought my place was to hunt. With the colds temps and snow so far it’s going to be another rough winter.

[@richardfiedler2201]

You might C more deer instead of driving around looking at camps & making soup. Get in the woods my friend you can't kill him on the couch. LOL.

[@TRERUNSWILD]

LOL! I was looking at camps the day before the opener. But you are correct, I could definitely hunt harder!

Wear black in that blind

That would hide me much better. I'm not sure I could legally. I know how foolish that sounds since i'm literally inside a camo tent!!

stop sitting in the camo tent and go out and find them hunt like a real hunter used to, dont get concept when people call it hunting when your sitting and waiting for a animal to come into range

@@TRERUNSWILD i did indeed, seems the deer were you are are smarter then deer everywhere else, i dont really hunt, i tried Arrow fishing once that was fun and hard,

@@TheEveMatrix To be honest I hate the killing part. I do like the meat and believe it is healthier than farmed domestic meats. (Lower fat, etc) So when we are lucky enough Nothing goes to waste.
