Ground Hunting on Public Land

Ground hunting on public land. Sometimes you don't need to get 20 feet up in a tree to get close to the deer. In this video, I show you how I set up on the ground and have deer come within bow range.

[@redrivermudmonster4962]

I love ground hunting. It's so simple , mobile, and challenging. More ground hunting videos please.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. We will see what the future holds

[@bobdozepy5807]

Nicely done. Nothing beats a ground sit when conditions are right. You made a great adjustment quick on the fly. Cant wait for the next one

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks Bob!!

[@bholy1312]

Thanks for the prayer. Going to have to borrow that one.

[@seansoutdoors]

Awesome’ amen

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

God, and the creatures that he provides for us, deserve our respect! THANK YOU almighty God, for the food that you have givin us!! AMEN 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

[@russellpope3814]

Thank you for being so open to speak the Name of Jesus

[@seansoutdoors]

You are welcome and thank you as well! God bless you.

[@jhuntley575]

Glad you are enjoying the woods

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

I love the quick prayer you made dedicating the hunt to God’s glory, and for the benefit of his people. This is great, because these ARE God’s creatures that we are hunting! And they are meant for food and sustenance. And because of that...That special kind of respect and reverence SHOULD be given to God and the game we hunt. PRAISE BE TO GOD! 🙏🏻🦌

[@seansoutdoors]

Amen, Jim!

I love the music with your videos

Thanks!

Great video Sean! Great way to change your strategies to fit your environment

[@seansoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@ruelfunelas9389]

Sweet video!! Thanks bro!

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks

[@cjeoutdoors405]

Great action Sean. I've been doing allot of ground hunting after work. I typically spook them out but don't see them come back. I have to work on the noise I make.

[@seansoutdoors]

I hear ya brother

[@Archenhaust]

As someone who doesn't do treestands or ground blinds, I would love to see more still hunting tips and videos. I think it's kind of become a lost art in a lot of ways and I would really love to see your advice on how to go about it.

[@seansoutdoors]

I hope to make more

[@WVhillDweller]

You make it look easy, there must be a boatload of deer in there. She definitely saw you and was out🙂 God bless.

[@seansoutdoors]

Lol, yup

[@blzn04]

Just started the video. Im going 3 miles deep this afternoon in a spot that i have been getting a lot of does on camera. Really needing to get some meat bc we cant shoot does during rifle season. Im going in ultralight with my ghillie suit bc this spot doesnt have any large trees but also you can see/shoot more from the ground. Big storm just rolled through. So my entry should be quiet. Super pumped. Thanks for the vid ill see if i can use any tips for the hunt tonight

[@seansoutdoors]

God bless your efforts

[@voxpopuli905]

I was able to creep up on a doe last year during a super windy day. Trees crashing and making ridiculous racket. I went place to place hoping to bump something or spot from a far. And I did. I waited till her head was down digging the snow for food and moved up to the next tree, and the next, totally freezing when her head come up... until I was literally 20 yds away. And took her home w me. Idk where or how all that confidence come from but I simply decided I was doing it, and got it done. It was amazing. I wish someone was there to witness it. But at same time I don’t even care. It was just awesome tho

[@jhuntley575]

What state you in Maine?

[@tadpoled3514]

Funny you published this video today. I plan on doing a ground sit today. Possibly try my hand at stalking. Wet ground with higher winds should be easier to move around the timber unnoticed. Cheers.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks

[@rw9347]

Great footage

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks

[@mpooler3047]

Would you do a few more ground hunting videos? This is mainly how I hunt, and I would love more tips .

[@seansoutdoors]

I’ll try. It’s hard to find time this time of year

[@mpooler3047]

Sean's Outdoor Adventures I should have added “ in the off season !” 😊

[@xallthatremains8339]

@@mpooler3047 I made myself a small folding wooden stool to pack in with me. I set it against the base of a spruce/fir tree with good cover and it's pretty comfortable and effective

[@boomerrangerron]

Nicely done Sean! I love hunting from the ground. Hey, what kind of climbing stand was on your back?

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. Lone wolf

[@jokerminer1]

Hey in the previous videos you said to have the tree stand V pointed down in case you fall :) Great video again.

[@seansoutdoors]

Yes. In this scenario I just strapped the stand to my backpack and the bar of the stand had to go at the top in order for it to work.

[@fisheyeguy]

Nice video and good job of adapting to your surroundings and conditions. Are we going to see more videos of the farm you bought?

[@seansoutdoors]

Yes

[@rwh-fr4zs]

Spooking deer on your way in means you're finding deer. Every hunt is a scouting trip. And...the people who have known you the longest may think something is wrong with you once you have seen the light. Fear not, for your deeds may show them faith.

[@seansoutdoors]

thanks

[@beastkiler2]

cool video, Sean! Have you done a video on bowstring care and choosing the right string? I had my string snap while i was shooting recently.

[@ML-ks2lj]

How is that loan wolf climber? Is comfortable? I'm 280 pounds 6'3" tall and pretty athletic minus a six pack of abs lol but I'm heavy and in shape and I love Mobil hunting and hate packing heavy I usually bring a flash light about 25' of rope for the drag and whatever else I might need. A knife or two and my weapon. And some times a water. I mostly hunt off ground but would love a climber. I also hunt public so no trimming branches. Something about hunting line our ancestors with three fingers in the string and a nice recurve or my old wooden darton compound. I like to stalk and get as close as I can.

[@seansoutdoors]

I've used mine for almost all my hunting for the last 18 years

[@boxertechnical]

Sean, another cool video! At the end when you're talking at home for some reason I only get the audio in my left earbud when I had stereo throughout the rest. Might be something weird on my end but I wanted to point it out.

[@seansoutdoors]

Okay, thanks. Maybe there was a glitch in the audio. Not much I can do about it now but I'll watch for it in the future. Thanks

[@pvmnightmare8982]

This is my first year bow hunting out here in western Pennsylvania, I don’t have a stand so I am also on the ground. Do you have any tips for me? I’m trying to figure out how much I really should be moving around, or if I should find a good spot to kneel and wait

[@seansoutdoors]

You’ve got to keep the wind in your favor . Do a little of both. Sit still when conditions are right, tiptoe around when they are not or when it’s rainy or windy

[@airwave4722]

Hi Sean have you heard of HECS stealthscreen? If so do you think its snake oil or is it legit?

[@seansoutdoors]

No, haven’t heard of it before

[@iowabuckinrut760]

I'm in Butler county! What part of the Iowa did you move to?

[@seansoutdoors]

I work in Marion.

[@choffnosky987]

Hello Sean, what tree stand do you have on your back?

[@seansoutdoors]

Lone wolf hand climber

[@anttracker]

Hi Sean I just came across your channel. I’m wondering are you a trophy hunter or a meat hunter?

[@seansoutdoors]

I like getting a nice buck if I can but it’s not my primary focus. If I can get something decent, great, but I try to push myself to do better if I can. I harvest a lot of meat to feed my family and donate to the less fortunate. I’d say I’m kind of in the middle I guess

[@justinjoseph129]

That music was meant for the deers situation

[@seansoutdoors]

Lol

[@ubwing1]

What's the step ladder behind you at 5:07?

[@seansoutdoors]

It looked like something a hunter left in the woods many years ago. I’d imagine it was a gun hunter. I’ve seen the Amish do this at a lot of public land spots I’ve hunted so I assumed it might be from one of them. This is a good area so I could see why they had it there. It looks too rotted out to have been used in the past 7 or 8 years so there’s no telling who left it there.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Much better to hunt from the ground in Iowa, than Pennsylvania!

[@seansoutdoors]

Yes I agree

[@brentdavis3792]

If you are Catholic, you don't do the sign of the cross?

[@seansoutdoors]

Yes I’m catholic and I do it all the time. What do you expect in this video though? I’m holding a video camera in one hand and a bow in the other. LOL.

[@brentdavis3792]

@@seansoutdoors I expect the sign of the cross before and after a prayer, what is more important ? From one Catholic to another.

[@seansoutdoors]

@@brentdavis3792 Well it is a good thing you are not God, and it is a shame you miss what is most important to Him. What is important to Him is a relationship with Him, which I have, and I am very happy that He is pleased with the fact that I pray in front of millions of people and inspire them to think about God whereas they didn't before, and also that I share the Word of God with them and inspire them to read God's Word whereas many of them were not before. Your, sir, may need to work on your approach to evangelization because it doesn't come across as inspiring people to grow closer to God but to be afraid of whether or not they perform religious practices the way you would personally expect, you who are not God but a fallen human being like the rest of us.
