Deer Camp Traditions | Wired to Hunt

[@Thenarrowpathoutdoorsmen]

Crazy, when my brothers and I were teenagers we talked about having a deer camp cabin together when we get older. Now I’m 35 and have three boys 6-11. Their whole life they have been hearing about my dream of owning a deer camp cabin. One day even if they’re all my age now we will own a cabin. Good job Mark don’t let the traditions die.

[@TheLotusLives]

What a nice production. I love seeing how you’re trying to create something for a future generation. Memories inspire and the memories you had are feeding your passion. This is heartwarming. I’ve always enjoyed your content on the podcasts and such, but this was special. Thank you.

[@joshuajordan4036]

This episode really resonates with me this year. My Father-in-law just passed two days ago. He left his hunting cabin to my wife and I. I feel an immense sense of pride and responsibility to carry on the traditions that he created through that place. Thank you meateater for putting such an emphasis on family and tradition.

[@hayzu02]

I love every bit of this from the tradition to the values he wants to instill. This is what it’s all about! Great job

[@prairiehomefarm6844]

What a well-told story. I’ve never been so enamored by a 26 minute hunting show where they don’t kill anything. You guys tell the story of the family deer camp. There are tens of thousands of people that can relate to that through similar experiences. Well done guys. Keep making these types of videos.

[@MrSemeju]

I absolutely love this. As a Michigander this makes me smile even wider. Need me a family deer camp. Some day…….

[@ccvannocker]

Thank you, Mark, growing up in Michigan with my family of deer hunters this meant a lot to me. Please make sure we always keep our memories alive and well.

[@Eric_Feigl]

“Dad, come here…I want to show you something.” Words a father always wants to hear.

[@matthewkwiatkowski2623]

Thanks Mark. Appreciate you sharing this with us. Hope you and your boys and your family make memories there for a long long time

[@Doncorleone44]

That’s a hunters Dream ! Congratulations on having a wonderful grandfather, he set the path for happy times with the family whilst participating in the best hobby/sport in the world,

This is a wonderful tribute to Kenroven. It is a special place.

[@tomdies7451]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Brings back memories of hunting with my Dad, uncles and cousins in the BIG woods of the Allegheny Nat'l Forest in NW PA back in the late 60's and 70's. Great to see the family values and traditions being passed down.

[@luker138]

Deer camp: "It's not just a place. It's us." Well said.

@ that’s because you only care about the kill and don’t understand the value of family, tradition, and place.

[@MDR-hn2yz]

Continuing the legacy and being out in the woods. This is what it’s all about.

[@corylarson9952]

U can feel pride and love in that blind, super cool , my dad started me on whitetails when I was legal to hunt in Minnesota where him and his brothers grew up, but we lived in a California at that time and I got hooked on mule deer hunting I put in miles and hours , but now we hunt in Texas where we live now , me and my dad's relationship isn't the best and isn't worse either, both hardheaded I would say, but hunting and fishing was always the glue that made the important and best memories for us, God and family is everything , season ain't over yet for us hopefully we can get it done , this episode just reminded me how much sitting in the blind and shooting the stuff with pops is as important as that big buck we all want , excellent video fellas

[@GabrielCoxYouTube]

Love this stuff. Family. Memories. Heritage. Coming from a family man like Mark with such a passion, bordering on obsession (ok, let's be honest, OBESSESION), it makes it all the more relatable and downright heartwarming. Great stuff, @WiredToHunt and MeatEater!

[@Orr_s]

Would have loved to have a family deer camp and traditions like this growing up, awesome video. Got into hunting little later on and no one in my family hunted when i was younger. But im glad i got into it, better late than never

[@michaeldrew530]

Great job with this storytelling. This captures a lot of Michigan deer camp culture really well.

[@andyconger3676]

Awesome to see other hunters actually keeping traditions alive. Hunters and Trappers are a dying breed and its our responsibility to teach the next generations

[@jakesander5438]

Such a good video. Love it

[@colinbrown7528]

Great episode! Hope to see more from Kenroven in the future!

[@titosmiff1058]

We have what we call "the shack" it's a cabin 2 miles in the mountains woods built by my grandpa and great uncle who passed away from brain cancer. We still go out there every year and I love it.

[@mitchelgrant]

Ive seen so many hunting shows and videos. Does nobody hunt by pushing and walking? They should get a third or fourth buddy to walk those public lands and push deer into their land. Works very well for us. Awesome video anywways!

[@paulnuc3192]

Illegal in Michigan, any chance you’re in Pennsylvania? Only times I’ve heard of people driving deer is from Pennsylvania seems more of a cultural thing there

[@DjChaz904]

Awesome video!

[@blakeensing7376]

That’s why I don’t grunt at deer anymore. I don’t recall the last time I tried grunting.

[@TangoOscarMikeN3WS]

I recently got to visit the childhood camp that I spent every summer when I was a kid. Very similar situation. Boarders a national forest. The cabin was smaller than this one. Walls and roof collapsed. Junk truck and tailer in the yard. It breaks my heart, but another family member owns it and nobody wants to do anything for the fear of putting in the effort of rebuilding it and then not having any rights to it. It is a sad situation.

[@josephpitt9531]

I literally just started thinking about future deer camp for my kids..might just have to go with a tent and public land because of the ridiculous cost of land let alone the cost of the habitat improvements shown here..

We had a spot like this in utah my grandpa bought it when he came back home from WW2 and the family and freinds hunted it untill utah changed the way they issued tags from over the counter to a draw system and it was almost impossible to draw a tag for our land we had just over 100 acres and we bought trespass permits from a rancher that had a couple thousand acres we wound up selling it to that rancher after nobody hunted it for several years

[@evanjarvi406]

What ground blind were you using?

I dream about getting something like this for my 2 young boys and soon to be daughter.

[@TheBowhunterinNB]

The family camp was lost in 1995. I wish I had it for my sons

[@Grimm609]

Whats up with those trophies in the cabin. Is igt normal in the us to do it like that?

[@fempasecenk]

Lovely... ❤❤❤

[@johnbarbee4226]

what is the aerosol spray I saw you use in the camera and your boots?

[@Red.Hunting]

The story ends by emphasizing the value of family heritage, hoping that the next generation will continue the tradition, just as the picture of the giant deer "Ralph" inspired the narrator as a child.

[@mikeshaffer207]

great video! one piece of constructive criticism, I would have appreciated subtitles for all conversation in the blind

[@PJ_Perry]

You got a wholesome family truly enjoying hunting , keeping a tradition going and you got a couple fools makeing stupid negative comments.... keep the negative shit to yourself, you're only making yourself look like a fool

[@albertgremmel3899]

Great video, hope you get out there for gun season with your Dad!

[@tomm5780]

Curious. Is the wolf population high and if yes, did this issue come into your thought process to move forward? I ask, because we have a same situation in Northern Minnesota and the significantly increased wolf population has greatly impacted the dear population.

[@matt-c3w]

Shout out to southern michigan. Sleeper state bucks. Go down to Iowa all you want.

[@jeffreypauly2570]

Im in a similar situation. Trying to re vamp my wifes family farm that has been neglected and deer population has fallen.

[@a1971-d6d]

The Heavens and Earth are only around 6000 yrs old. The only thing you need to do next, is to accept the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your savior. John 3:16 Context 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

People like you destroy hunting for others. I guarantee they have more pride in those deer than anything you have ever shot. Who are you to judge what a trophy is to another hunter.

[@theJoefamilychannel]

[@SeafaringSager]

UP deer don't get much antler growth due to the sandy soils and lack of need minerals.

Living in Michigan is frustrating when all the good land is bought up from guys who might hunt it a week total out of bow, rifle, and muzzleloader. More people need to join the HAP land program. You get paid and not so fortunate hunters get a chance at something. State land is trash.

[@kylen1922]

How u ever hunted state land in southern mi? Allot of deer and great bucks . Not as many hunters there were 10 years ago.

[@jnorth5689]

@kylen1922 no . I haven't I live in northern Michigan

[@jnorth5689]

@@kylen1922 they all bought the land up here. Probably why there isn't as many hunters down there lol. Problem is they only come up for a weekend here or there and usually gun season. I'm a bow hunter. People with private land offer deer meat all the time. Instead of shooting there 15th deer they should let me hunt. We call them sharp shooters around here not hunters.

Yeah, but you have to do what's in season or what you get tags for. In my home state, we get 2 extra months of deer season and some states like Missouri, you only get 1 tag with a firearm and 1 more with archery. This video was NOT about choice of weapon.
