[@richdeerhunter]

Agreed....Joe and Brian would enjoy doing some backyard hunting with this guy.

[@alexhamon9261]

@Tracy Weber Without predation deer multiply until there is not enough for them to eat in their habitat, and when that happens your deer friends slowly starve to death in winter. The large populations also create conflicts with humans in the form of auto accidents, destroying landscaping, and relying on eating farmed crops for food. Thanks to regulated hunting, and conservation efforts by hunters there are more deer in this country than there have ever been.

[@alexhamon9261]

@Tracy Weber You have 200 deer in a habitat that only supports 100. All 200 starve through winter, many of them die or become so malnourished they miscarry and fail to reproduce, you now have 75 deer. You have 200 deer, and kill 100 of them, and the other 100 now have twice as much to eat, none die from lack of forage, most of them successfully reproduce and you now have 200 or more from does that were able to raise twins thanks to the extra forage.

[@alexhamon9261]

@Tracy Weber Before hunting was regulated, humans killed deer any time of year whenever they needed meat, by 1930 there were only around 300,000 whitetail deer left. Regulation and conservation efforts since then have increased their population to more than 30 million. They went from endangered species in my state, to a population of almost 2 million. The real threat to the future of these animals is loss of habitat from human development. Habitat conservation is something that hunters spend way more on than the average person on. Our liscense and tags as well as a taxes on hunting equipment have contributed billions of dollars to ensure that these animals will always have habitat. Have you volunteered to improve habitat or donated any money to fund any sort wildlife conservation this year? Every licensed hunter in America did.

[@ChefAndy972]

@Tracy Weber look it up, its 100% true. It's not JUST whitetail deer that are having such great success. Elk, thanks to the rocky mountain elk foundation are having a great comeback. Wild Turkey were on the edge of extinction until the national wild Turkey foundation stepped in and started managing them. Now there's a healthy enough population to support a hunting season in 49 states. Ducks Unlimited has purchased millions of acres of habitat specifically in the migration path of waterfowl (ducks, geese, etc). Every state in the US has a version of fish and game. 100% of the funding for maintaining and purchasing new habitat and managing the species comes from selling hunting and fishing tags and boat registrations. None of the funding comes from tax payers. Hunters also pay a special tax on firearms, ammo, bows, and hunting apparel that is earmarked for conservation (Pittman Robertson act). Your state and national parks are 100% funded from these fees (again 0 tax payer dollars pay for any of it). Even public places that dont allow hunting are still paid for by hunters. Google your state and public hunting map or wildlife management area, I think you'll be amazed and how many places you'll find

William Phillips about how many times have you lost a deer due to a neighbor not allowing a recovery? Is there any laws against hunting so close to dwellings? In Michigan we must be 500 ft from any dwelling, regardless of weapon.

He has one if you search his name. But hasn't uploaded in years and only has like four videos. We all need to go on there and comment that he needs to make more content

Very nicely done! Great content, great editing and of course.....great video! This guy is really living most bowhunters' dreams - to be able to hunt with so much frequency and just be outdoors. Amazing....plus the less fortunate get meat because of it!!! Would love to see more installments.

[@Mark_my_territory]

Perfect. I love this! Great look into another hunters perspective. This is completely different than what I’ve grown up doing. He’s managed to be able to hunt where most hunters are afraid to go, and keeps it professional. You sir give hunters a better name in a place where it matters most! Thank you! Keep shooting straight!

[@stanp6383]

Off topic, how is that tree saddle been thinking about make the switch ?

[@jeffree6996]

Stan Petrikis nice if you only sit for an hour or two. They get annoyingly uncomfortable pretty quickly. I still use mine when I only have a couple hours after work to hunt and I'm in a hurry. Otherwise, treestands are muchhhhh better. I only use my saddle when I have to. Do you watch hunting dvds/videos? I bet you never saw a hunter in a saddle. Maybe once. Maybe 1/1000. That's how great they are lol. It's only practical for a hunt like this guy is doing. Quick and tree hopping everyday

[@stanp6383]

Jeff Ree thanks for the advise sounds like a lock on is a little better choice. I appreciate your time but never take advice from anyone who is getting paid or kickbacks telling you their products better. Pros are only good because of their outfitters are great.

[@jeffree6996]

Stan Petrikis true that. I'm a lock on guy myself. I'll put up a few on the property I hunt and move one around if need be. May I suggest a good set of climbing sticks. I use the lonewolf but there are a few similar. I'll hang all my stands and leave them in the tree by themselves and just carry in and set up my sticks every hunt. That way no one can get into my stands but me. The lonewolf sticks are very light and compact and easy to carry in and set up. Muddy makes a really nice cam lock stick also. So much easier then those bulky heavy stick ladders that you leave on the tree. Unless you know no one will come across your stands

[@jeffree6996]

How can the same guy who says "it's the absolute greatest thing to be able to do what you're truly passionate about" also say, DC is, "IMO, the coolest city in the world"? I'm happy you get to hunt so much near where you live (thankfully, all I need to do is walk out my front door!), but dude . . . Maybe it's time to come out of the woods for a little while cuz, DC is a shit-hole. Just sayin'. Nice vid, though. 😉

[@ChromeArty]

Take that many deer? Or bow hunt in city limits? Cause we can bow hunt here in Powell River BC, as long as we are 100 yards from any dwelling or road. Have yet to do it though! Been thinking about it a lot this last week actually, so when this vid popped into my feed I had to watch it :)

I’ve hunted leesburg ,middleburg, Rockville, Gaithersburg and all around the DMV for years this is nothing new like he’s saying there are a lot more hunters now than there was in the 90s in the areas I hunt! And I have no idea what they’re talking about “manage clients” I ask to hunt and it’s either yes or no and if it’s yes you hunt park where they tell you and don’t do anything stupid and that’s about all you can do! I have cut some trees down or helped out doing a few chores but nothing major like they’re saying!

You make bowhunters out as stupid people. You r a bow hunters worst enemy. Most bowhunters have attended some college, and have graduated. Don't lump us in that group. That we are re so dangerous that we must take a test to hit a target b 4 we can hunt in the city limits. If you can hit the target. That don't mean that a guy that hits a tested target. Knows the proper, and the correct way to kill a deer. I been bow hunting some 40 year's.

Boy I love that video and just a few questions how does city Council like that if you come in and take those deer? Because in Cleveland Ohio the city consul does not allow any bow hunting in the city limits no matter how bad of damage the deer are doing in the landscape. Just curious how you have it where you hunt? If you want to you get hop over on messenger and send me messages back-and-forth. John Beechy with a pulling garden tractor for my profile. I would just love to hear from you. I hunt for the meat not the antlers but if I would happen to get one that would be a bonus 26 years of hunting I only killed five bucks and they’re not huge.

[@paulblackburn931]

When bow hunters are allowed to hunt urban whitetails. They have to pass some type of accuracy test. And can only hunt where the game and fish wants u2. When all us bowhunters only need the land owner to give us the right to bow hunt on his property. All we need is for the rules to allow us to hunt in the city limits. We don't need limitation put on us to do so.
