Deer Camp 2016: Deer Hunting Public Land

Michigan Gone Wild rolls into another Michigan Rifle Deer Season on Public Land. The crew is in search of Big Public land bucks in Northern Michigan. This was a season to remember in the Whitetail woods as some nice bucks are taken as the crew spends two weeks hunting the northern part of Michigan.

At the 14:15 minute mark is legit. I appreciate the fact that you don't hide bad shots! Like you said... "That's hunting"

[@ryanvandermeer4245]

This is real hunting, and by far the best I've seen on KZbin in a long time. Keep up the hard work.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

ryan vandermeer Thank you!

[@BoostedYote]

First one of your videos I've watched and I could hunt with you. The first real hunters I've found to watch hats off on being real. 👍🏻

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Budget Bass Fishing Thank you!

[@dannymattison7772]

360 alaabamama yes they are awesome videos for sure.also check the hunting public. They are awesone as well

[@wesolds8875]

Great videos, brought back memories my dad and my two sons hunting in the Pigeon River up at the fire tower and on the pipeline. Got a seven point years ago on the pipeline. Always an annual hunt in the Pigeon River. Nice job. I'm in Florida now but I used to live in Gaylord ( born and bred). Thanks again

[@williamkolis1567]

I will say that one of the things I like about your channel is that you guys really hunt. You don't go to a ranch where a guide leads a "trophy" out on a leash and then the hunters celebrate their "accomplishment". My sympathies on the missed shots. We have all been there.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

We've never payed anyone a dime to hunt anywhere. All DIY public land or free access.

[@kevinb8715]

Great video! Love the Daylight in the swamp brought back memories! That was my Grandfather's favorite saying at deer camp!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

It's truly great that we could bring that back to you. Thank you for the support and good luck!

[@andyparstino7280]

It’s a feeding frenzy back at camp when someone misses!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@samp3087]

Absolutely outstanding Alvin!! I don't think I have ever seen a Northern Michigan deer camp season captured the way you did it here. Reminds me of my camp in Presque Isle County. Bravo!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

sam p Thank you so much!

[@TomSutts1969]

Just started watching your videos and I really like them! I like the no nonsense approach, show good show the bad show the blood it's all part of what we encounter keep the videos coming maybe do a tutorial on proper gutting skinning/caping!!! Thanks Tom. Cheers!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thanks Tom! I'll keep that in mind as I think a lot of hunters can benefit from seeing how other hunters take care of their harvest in the field.

[@mag-nm7tw]

That looks an awful lot like the pigeon river country. Nice video guys!!!

[@jonseopa1913]

That might be the highest deer stand I’ve ever seen. Dude was level with the tree tops.

[@kevinfetterman5101]

Great job guys ! Just bought a camp north of the bridge and I've never deer hunted up there so I'm pretty geeked for next season. I been watching a lot of videos and yours is what it's all about, congrats! God bless !

[@noliftshift9115]

The videos get better every year , Makes me cherish the moments I spend with my family upnorth at camp even more than I already do. Good luck this season !

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Seems as if the older you get the more we cherish them? Thanks for your support and best of luck to you and the family! Stay safe...stay wild!

[@Mr907NORTH]

What an outstanding video, hands down best I've seen on KZbin. Hunting the big woods of Michigan is hard enough but to be successful and put together a damn fine show is remarkable. Thanks for sharing!!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Ben, wow we really appreciate hearing that. We sincerely love bringing real, authentic entertainment to you. Thanks for the support Ben!

[@MrBigfishcatcher33]

Most anticipated hunting video by far every year. Great job

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Mike, thanks for sharing your opinion and thank you again for the support! Best of luck in all your adventures!

[@bootyhuntersxc]

It puts a smile on my face and restores faith in humanity seeing you guys get together for this. And Alvin you have have a one of a kind wife, she’s is beautiful and she love you so much she comes up at 5 in the morning to wish the camp good luck. I am Ready for 2019 vid👍

[@BogBro4]

Awesome videos always! Keep up the good work and putting in the time. As a retired military member I've always looked forward to deer camp if I have the opportunity. Living in the south (for now) I've made the 1500 mile (one way) drive North every year for the past 8 years to have the opportunity to spend time with my dad and 3 brothers and all the other guys at their camps. We are blessed to have hunting land in the UP as well as below the bridge in Michigan. Counting the days until I'm on the road North, one of these days I'm coming back to the Great state of Michigan to stay. Thanks for inspiring me and producing a high quality film, you have me as a faithful subscriber, perhaps one day we can spend some time in the woods together. Keep on doing what you do, it is well worth it.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thank you Andrew for the kind words and for your service. It is greatly appreciated!

[@partridgepimp3363]

Good job Roslyn. Love that emotion while telling the story of your hunt. Way to show them boys how to get it done. Great video, I love these deer camp videos you have put out🦌

[@LukeDatema]

You guys are awesome! Great job! This show is very well produced and I'm guessing it will only get better in the future. Way to make Gaylord, MI proud 👌🏻

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Luke Datema Thank you!

[@victorhebert5774]

Love the video. Thank you for showing REAL hunting. Love your passion. Well done.

[@kentuuri8272]

Great family hunt. We need more videos like this. The hunt is not about the rack it's about spending time with family and friends and interacting with nature. Your video shows some real emotion and respecting the animal harvested. I wish the the hunting industry and hunting TV shows would remember this. Thank you keep up the good work!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thanks Ken! That's what we set out to do and hopefully we can bring many more videos just like this.

[@greggkonitski743]

You Guys (and Gals) Have hit it right on! You feel the passion of every hunt ,I love hunting Public land here in Illinois and miss the Deer camps of Wisconsin .Best of luck to all of you in 2018,Don t change a thing ! You Rock

[@wildrushoutdoors581]

Fantastic video! You have done a great job of capturing the spirit of an Up North deer camp. As always I'm looking forward to this season. Good luck and God bless.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thank you for the support and best of luck and God Bless!

[@morganloganlane]

I live I Michigan too I’m filming my next hunt at my family’s u.p. Cabin. I really like your idea of focusing on the fun of it and don’t stress. I’ve been having a hard time and you reminded me of how Michigan is a great place and I should be lucky. Hunting is really my great escape

[@davidvance7059]

Good to see it’s from the heart you understand if your a true deer hunter

[@bs431980]

Wow that ending got me a little choked up.

[@wyatt6302]

This is by far the best hunting channel I know of right now, congratulations for all of you getting your deer this year. I also had a successful season with my first deer which was a four point.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Terry Porche Thanks!

[@redryder6523]

I've grown up here in the hills and hollers of West Vitginia and this is how my family has done it for decades. Much respect from this Mountaineer. I have zero respect for those guys on the Outdoor Channell. If it werent for fenced in deer raised on corn feeders and plots they wouldnt kill any thing.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Red Ryder65 Glad you can relate to how we hunt! Thanks for supporting what we do and for watching!

[@Hopeknives13]

Loved every second of this video! Keep up the good work. I to hunt public land most rewarding hunts come from there. 👍🏻

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Caleb Dack I have a video from 2016 that I’ll be posting tonight. Not sure why I never posted it. It’s not a major production by any means but it’s a fun video. Keep an eye out!

[@jacobmaki537]

Love this so much. I hunt manistique area in the UP. Im glad you guys make real hunting videos and show what its like to hunt public land bucks. Last year i shot my biggest buck (11pt) on public land. I ve had at least four other people that road hunt that have said theyve shot at my deer. I realize the struggle and the hard work you guys do.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thank you Jacob and congrats on the 11 point! Any deer is a trophy but a buck like that is hard to come by on public land.

[@nickheyd6417]

Jacob Maki amen. Public struggles I got a 108 6/8 typical 8pnt last yr.. smart enought to know not every yr either. Or tag soup

[@chadpeterson5723]

Sending a invite to Wisconsin public land big bucks if it could work out date of season's . I have a small peace of land with 1,000 of public land . just love the camp you guys have started up so let me know if its something that could work. If not thank you for sharing a deer camp that we are losing in my area. Makes me sad we went from orange army to only couple hunters for over a square mile. Goodluck be safe 2018

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Chad Peterson Thanks for the offer. I will certainly keep it in mind. My trip to WI this year was a bust. Horrible weather Conditions had me in the hotel more than I was in the stand. That’s too bad to hear about your hunting area. I hate to see a great tradition like deer camp leaving the hunting world.

[@chadpeterson5723]

Michigan Gone Wild If you can go to my old channel look at my 10 that crashed into my state after the shot crazy sometimes in the woods. I also killed a 9.5 year old buck dressed out at 220lbs

[@mag-nm7tw]

Great deer camp and video. This is what our deer camp was like. Now we stay in a large and fancy new chalet that my friend recently built. Very comfy but not the same. Let me guess; Pigeon River Forest area?

[@Miguel_Travels]

This is fake. I didn't see a single hand of euchre being played... Great video. This is what it's all about. I hunt private land now, but I almost miss the anticipation of an opening morning on public land. Definitely a different feeling.

Enjoyed the video. Im also glad to know im not the only one that misses. Lol I got an 8 point this year not my biggest buck still a nice one. It only took me 3 days and a half a box of bullets... 😂 its a sad story. I shot high i shot low but the time i hit him it was a perfect shot. Keep up the good work.

I miss deer hunting in the Manistee area. Was it the hunting or the parties in the Cabins after. Either way I miss it.

[@larry3311]

Great videos!!!! But please pass along that it’s illegal to stick your tag directly to the bucks horn in Michigan.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

larry fox Thanks a lot! That’s interesting on the tag. Would you be able to show me where that’s written? I’ve never heard of that law, nor have I ever heard of anyone else having issues with putting the tag and antlers. Much appreciated!

[@anthonyperotti151]

In watching ...the camera angle from above can make the stand height look strange. How high up are your stands?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Depends who you're referring to but anywhere from 30-45 feet

[@jeffamckee]

Awesome video! Are you all up in a county with APR's? I wish I could do something to get the whole state of Michigan APR.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Jeffrey McKee No, we are in the I75 corridor where there are no APR’s.

[@8tsunde09]

I always see hunt videos outside of Michigan and was hoping for a good Michigan hunt video. This video shows people shooting a lot of little bucks and not practicing any sort of QDM. Seems like you go in depth with the detail in this video but wish you would practice QDM and shoot bigger bucks. Before you respond with "No one else practices QDM", it needs to start somewhere and with a platform like what you have here it would be a nice start. I appreciate the realness of the hunt in your video because I can't stand guys hunting ranches and treating it like they were hunting free range deer. It is possible to have monsters outside of ranches and a few guys from my deer camp including myself have done so by practicing QDM.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

8tsunde09 Sorry to disappoint, but thanks for watching.

[@craigbenz4835]

I'm a little confused. How was a video of the 2017 deer season published on Oct 4, 2017?

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Craig Benz The footage is from the year before the publishing year was 2017. As for the brow tines, all she had left was a restricted tag. It only allows you to harvest a buck with four points or more on one side. She had to make sure the Buck had brow tines on at least one side.

[@craigbenz4835]

I missed the brow tines before I posted. Great video. How high are those tree stands?

[@garyknepper4546]

Is there some trick to carrying deer out like you guys do or are you guys real brutes? I have to drag mine out. I love your no nonsense videos. The only no no I’ve seen so far is the guy hunting in a white tee shirt. Hope he only does that when he is his tree stand.

"I couldn't see anything, I had my scope up, but I could tell he was somewhere in here" It's refreshing to see a group of guys hunting for REAL, but my first time watching these guys' videos and in the first 15 minutes, the two brothers and the woman all admit to taking bad shots. If you aren't 100% sure of your shot, you shouldn't take it. Can't see the deer? Trees in the way? Too dark? All of the above happened to them, and they shot anyway.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Interesting interpretation of the video. Thanks for watching though!

[@alexpearce1656]

That's interesting lol in MN it's 10 all around but anyways love the hunting vids you do!

[@baghalman]

Great video guys. But why are you showing things that screw into the trees to hold your gear when you on public land? Not a good idea.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

baghalman They're not used in the aid of climbing or affixing the tree stand to the tree. We are well aware of the rules. Thanks for watching!

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Michigan Hunting Digest page 22

[@baghalman]

Hopefully you got that information from your local conservation officer so you don't find yourself in a bind. I'm in law enforcement and work beside the DNR. They just confirmed what I said earlier. Be careful what you put on social media.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

baghalman Read page 22 of the Michigan hunting digest. That will clear things up for you.

[@baghalman]

I'm well aware of what it says. I even re read it. I just spoke with the DNR. No penetrating the trees period. Again, I like the video though.

[@davidbeutler7665]

Those deer must have small bodies cause there’s no way your gonna do that where I hunt

[@MichiganGoneWild]

You don’t think so?

[@Nortekj]

What I don't like about Michigan is the fact that property owners AREN"T allowed to hunt on their own property without a license and/or a game permit. A friend of mine that owns a fairly large farm and puts up with crop damages, and all the other damages wildlife causes to his property, plus the fact that he pays taxes on the place twice a year and yet he isn't permitted to hunt on it without being licensed to do so, is asinine, I live in Kentucky and I don't need a permit of any kind to hunt or fish. To me Michigan or any other state that does that to property owners are as greedy as the character in A Christmas Carole (Scrooge). If any big game is harvested (deer or turkey0 It has to be reported the same as with any licensed hunter has to do. It's not the cost of fees that I am complaining about, it's the fact that being required to use personal property one HAS to be licensed by the state to do so.

[@MichiganGoneWild]

We haven't heard that side of the story. I think you've got a valid argument. Sure seems like the American people get hammered from all directions. Sadly you gotta pay to play.

[@benwassmann831]

Alvin's audio sucks. other than that - great vid

[@MichiganGoneWild]

Thanks Ben! We appreciate your input and will definitely strive to better produce our show for you all!

[@ravenfeather7087]

You like to keep it real? Most people (KZbin hunters) don't show the deer they've wounded? I've watched a lot of these videos over the years and a lot this fall because of rainy weather. And that's not true. It's the same story over and over again with some - well I just made an error and oh, I'm so sad - couldn't sleep all night. We looked and looked and looked. And often a deer shows up and it's, "Yep, positive the deer I shot survived.". What bullshit. Do you think everyone watching these videos are as inexperienced and as much a baby as you are? What you did was to simply justify and in fact blow off what you did in regard to wounding that deer. Think any young impressionable kids watch these videos? I'm guessing there are. What a role model for future hunters. No wonder people in western states hate Wisconsin and Michigan hunters. My favorite line was, "And it's gonna happen again.". The deer you wounded possibly dying in agony after being shot in the guts or maybe the face, how the hell would you know where, and you're doing a phony whine and next year you'll do the same thing because you're a child refusing to accept responsibility for what you did. Or are perfectly content about what you did because now you're contrite. You were all hyped up about "getting your buck" and how nice it was going to be to show it to your buddies. It was dark. Opening day! I'm so excited! So you succumbed to the temptation to take a risky shot without really considering the consequences. Not enough time for that. Not much of a hunter really. You should quit. Or take what you're doing (taking a life or condemning an animal to suffering you can't possibly understand) serious enough to make it between you and a deer and not a social event. Some of guys doing these videos have been shooting videos year after year and if you check previous videos they've wounded multiple deer. I subscribed. I'll be watching. How many times did you shoot that rifle out of a tree stand before season started BTW? Offhand? Maybe you're incompetent. Beautiful country and it was great to see you're not "hunting" over bait. Nicely filmed. Most of the rest was disgusting. Too bad. If you and your buddies had some decent ethics you could present some really good videos.

[@MichiganGoneWild]
