"No Boundaries" with Hal Blood

Tracking a Whitetail Buck in the Big Woods of the North Country is an experience very few deer hunters have Had the opportunity to do. To track a Whitetail buck in the vast wilderness where few hunters go, takes woodsmanship skills as well as the tenacity and persistence to be able to endure the cold and snow. When tracking one of these ghosts of the north you will be reading the story of his life written in the snow in front of you. Your task becomes unraveling his secrets to be able to outwit him on his own turf.

I’m a Texan who has always enjoyed watching you guys track deer in the snow in Maine ! Beautiful big country and you are a true Woodsman. Keep up the great content!

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Love this short film. It says it all

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Had to watch this again, Your a hero to most of us out there Hal, really enjoyed this video and motivates us to push harder and go further each year. Happy hunting this season.

[@dianerichardson-workingcla4013]

Fantastic short film. FAR better than any of that Southern hunting stuff

[@frankgulla8782]

Love this guy! Old school, no bull-shit, back slapping, hootin and hollerin, he's a real hunter, God bless you Hal, may you always find a big track to pursue.....

[@davidrohder7897]

Real deer hunting without food plots . That's the way it should be . Be a hunter and darn it and be proud .

[@j.r.1223]

Love the marks on the carbine from the fingers. Cool.

[@strutstopper4987]

That’s how my grandpas is too, mine are getting there!

[@davidlotti5407]

Hal Blood the Benoit Family an any of the northeast hunters that track down deer get more out of a hunting experience than most deer Hunters! This is true Hunting an it should be admired!

[@jstjst2111]

100%

[@MrWARHAMMER68]

Now , This................is what I call deer hunting.

[@jimfraas1291]

Just amazing…thanks!

[@jamesbender1967]

Imagine your big woods containing 3,000 wolves lol. That’s our difference here in Northern MN. Great hunting videos,

[@JL-xn3zy]

Fantastic film! I love the Big Woods Bucks Team - you guys do it right. God Bless!

[@Bluegrassterrapin]

Thank you so much for making and sharing this mini documentary Hal!!..This video explains it plain and simple, you cant explain what it's like to someone who has never hunted the big woods and the big bucks of the northern wilderness areas, and I personally always loved it and miss it very much.Excellent video of what big woods hunting in northern New England is really all about and what it means to us true big buck hunters and Big woods trackers.After my three year absence from living in north central Vermont, I will finally be making the trek back north from my home in the Western N.C. Mountains for a two week Deer hunting trip in Vt. and mainly Northern N.H. this November, and to spend time with family of course.I miss the snow and the big woods tracking in The White Mtns of N.H. especially and I am very excited to 2 weeks to return and experience it all once again.Thanks again

[@jimmystevens9028]

Nothing like hunting my back yard, the big woods of the western mountains of maine. :)

[@michaelstruble8105]

When we hunt this way.we are a deer hunter on a level that can not be explained it has to be experienced.

[@genefedor109]

video says it all, either you love it or hate it. For me , I love it, my first hunt was my high school graduation gift from parents to go up to the north woods, fell in love with it , that was back in 1986, for a long time I didn't miss a season, most of my hunting crew no longer goes, I go solo these days, only miss couple times for family responsibly. But I'll be up this fall, 3rd week, asual, praying for snow. making memories. I love this type of hunting. Gene NJ

[@eugenefedor8557]

Coming up this fall to get my buck

[@aaronbelden8894]

Ram charger...good call sir

[@robgrubb420]

Impossible to sum it up any better than this. thanks hal.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Hal Awesome right to the point well said 👍👍🦌🇺🇸 Thank You The Vermonter

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Looking back at this now as a content producer and see the quality you guys put into this was just amazing, really great work guys HAL, a pleasure meeting you and your team in Rockland that time.

[@mmiles6015]

Finally!!!! I found a real hunting channel that matches my situation. Thank you! Liked, subscribed And wish I could do 100 thumbs up.

[@cginnish]

So true you love it or hate it. With me when I start hunting I don't like to bag my buck in the first week I like to bag my buck as late as possible that way I enjoy the woods and see different varieties of game and wildlife. And of course that first deer steak dinner aafter the season.

[@cginnish]

Happy hunting friends and God bless be safe in the woods. Remember to tell friends and family where your hunting in case there's an accident.

[@dickclough1168]

Raised the gun left handed. Aimed left handed. Shot RIGHT handed.........how'dya do that? Just pickin. Loved the video. Thanks.

[@j.r.w6623]

Badass.

[@robinworkman3621]

I love my pump 06, 18.5 inch barrel. My pops also shoots a pump.hes 74 and has had it since he was 13.

[@billlastwits8229]

End of October beginning of November in the northeast you just gotta watch this video to get yourself hyped up!!

[@kentwilliams4152]

I fondly remember taping my hunting pants to my rubber insulated boots when there was fairly deep snow before heading out into the woods in Maine. Ha - I thought that I was the only one who did that. Guess not. 😀

[@derekhanna2678]

Love his stories and how he hunts!!

[@ericpennington5036]

We have some big woods here in PA I'm going to try tracking a big woods buck next season!! Cool lil video guys!!!!

[@georgemaerkle3427]

Great film Hal!! Gotta love the big woods 👍👍

[@wharfrat7773]

Yes sir...I feel like I am there brother.. exactly how I hunt in northern Michigan...good luck this season ...our firearms season opener in 15 days..can't wait to get out there and praying for snow🦌

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

I was at the Rockland Sportsman show when you first aired this, and I gotta say you do it better than most out there. Great job keep at it buddy!

[@adventurerhoades]

Inspirational video. Great job raw and real. Awesome stuff! This will go on my yearly hunting must watch!

[@garypowers4886]

Great video! Getting geared up to head to camp tomorrow.

[@jeff_doyle]

Spectacular!

[@jillian.maria91]

You really captured the maine experience there is no other place on this Earth quite like the Northwoods

[@zactoth6371]

Outstanding video. So cool to see something like this from my home state! I've never traveled that far north to the big woods to hunt, but I plan to try it out this year. You've gained a new follower, best of luck to you all for the upcoming season.

[@timoutdoorsfoster1938]

Awsome video, love the ramcharger too

[@ericpennington5036]

This is REAL hunting!!!!

[@Sparaco487]

Im in between the love/hate here in ny..every year i ask why i keep going back then season kicks in and im at it every day every bit of free time i get

[@jward9637]

I've been hooked on deer hunting for 4 decades. Nothing I'd rather do. Ok maybe Elk hunting!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Great Video, nailed it!

[@bradbishop1893]

Excellent !

[@toolman67]

Great meeting you Hal at the NRA show here in Texas!! Loved looking at those Marlin 45-70s and 30-30s!

[@haroldblood2222]

glad to meet you too!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Would love to try it, be great spend a few days training with Hal!

[@MrJackchap]

I love it and love this video too,thks Hal

[@tpalmer4829]

Wool pants cuffed with black duct tape. Took a page from my fashion book! Try it... you guys (big woods trackers/ground hunters) will never go back.

[@mikehubbard5493]

A little snow, but when get more than a foot it gets very hard to really do that roaming around hunting. I went a good mile in the deep snow, and it was exhausting.

[@danewinge9164]

Jesus not only does he have prime land to hunt but also a badass truck and beautiful house !!

[@jstjst2111]

Public land

[@eugenefedor8557]

Can't wait, I'll be up in 30 days!!

[@bryanaulisio4164]

This video is beautiful.

[@Frenchbroadcatman.]

I want to come up there and do it so that way I'll know whether I hate it or love it I'm betting on loving it cause it's something I've always wanted to do

[@eugenefedor8557]

I'm coming up this November, time will tell if I get on the track.

[@j.r.1223]

Hope to take your tracking course's one day. May the Lord Strengthen and Bless you. Jesus is King!

[@thomasbartlett3409]

Hal, your books and videos are superb. One question as a side interest, in all your endeavors, do you think BIGFOOT is out there?

[@rogersouliere8742]

Finger prints are from carrying it left handed. Shouldered the gun lefty. When the gun goes off holding it righty

[@tctacoma847]

Hal, Awesome video, i absolutely love everything about the way you are hunting. Im beginning to develop a theory through trends i have noticed. Guys who are obsessive about a tough style of hunting, and hunting in general, tend to be left handed (as i am too), and its tough to tell but it looks like you are a lefty to.

[@RhodeIslandSportfishing]

What theory is that

[@schmedlywhiplash6267]

Yup I have more enjoyment just being out there wandering and exploring than shooting em anymore.

[@TheBuckPsych]

Great video. Not much out there on big woods educational wise. Ever think of doing how to dvds?

[@chrisdalti6041]

If you go to our website bigwoodsbucks.com we have several videos with more of the education in mind instead of entertainment. Camera following Hal down track as he explains what he is seeing and doing.

[@poet4013]

Hi Hal, was thinking of setting up a stand on a big bog with great visability up north, You think that's time well spent for a buck when there is no snow to track or a waste of time? Deer in general seem to use the bog....

[@haroldblood2222]

Yes!

[@jackc.3079]

That's so cool fml

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

Where is that video taken? It's so beautiful

[@rtql8nxj38]

Maine

[@bigal25938]

Brought the gun up to shoot off the left shoulder and then shot off the right shoulder.

[@hairywon]

Interesting observation....must havetaken a few practice poses for the camera...the rifle has right hand safety ....

[@danielcoulter6102]

Hal is a lefty....Im also a lefty ...shoot the same rifle

[@ButlerOutdoorsNY]

I bought your book.

[@mjcooper2634]

Someday hope to be as good a tracker as him.and the benoits

[@jhuntley575]

Hals the best but I don't think he will ever be at Benoit level. Definitely close but Lanny come on that guy was basically a buck in human form

[@larrysayre824]

You could not have said it anymore truthful, you can walk for days and if the good lord above answers your prayers well then the work begins, I was wondering if when you do get your prayers' answered, do you share the bounty with home owner if it occurs on private land

[@whereshunter6354]

Tell me you don't walk 10-15 miles in rubber boots...your poor feet!! They make comfy gore-tex boots nowadays. Great video tho, I like your style of hunting. Very similar to how I do it here in the U.P.

[@jakeandree2462]

Where is this?

[@haroldblood2222]

Maine

[@idahobob180]

You are a true hunter, not like these 1000 + yarder shooters or scouts that keep their eyes on trophy's for paid hunters, you become one with everything going on around you, been their

[@paulhazel5754]

nothing like "HUNTING" one on one and beating him at his game. you can really only get this if you can hunt the big areas with low pressure. like you said, nothing like it, and that includes elk.

[@montuckyman4982]

Do you guys ever bone out on the spot? Or quarter it at least? Do that, throw the meat in a quality pack in game bags, cut the antlers or whole head off. Pack it all out , soooo much easier than yanking one out. Done plenty of both. Maybe its not lega therel for some weird reason. In the Rockies , a guy would NOT shoot bucks or bulls, if you had to drag the whole thing out.

[@bigwoodsbucks1]

The main reason we drag out is the northeast has such an emphasis on body weight. It helps wildlife biologists determine the health of a deer heard, and also, we don't tend to grow the great big antlers here. so a 200 LB buck is kind of like a 200" buck somewhere else. Plus we have the access, a lot of logging currently happening and logging from the past so, roads are abundant. Just a whole different culture up here in maine.

[@montuckyman4982]

@@bigwoodsbucks1 Right on! It's probably similar to the U.P where I grew up. But on a larger scale. One can find remote places but your seldom over a half mile from some sort of road. I made it back this year, followed a huge track in my old stomping grounds. Stayed at the old camp. Loved it! Love the video.

[@tp7393]

Why such a small log home?

[@danj6289]

This is only good for certain hunters. You gotta' be young enough and in good shape enough to drag one out of these deep woods. Also the chance of getting turned-around is much higher.

[@haroldblood2222]

Anybody can do it if they choose to.

[@danj6289]

There is no way I'm going 3-4 miles into the Maine Woods. I could not drag a deer 200 feet, let alone two miles. How strong are you to drag a deer over rocks, tress, and brush???? You mean to tell me that you can drag a deer over one mile from the deep woods of Maine?????

[@danj6289]

Kevin......all my friends are on heart meds............a lotta' good those ol' bastids are gonne' do me!!

[@danj6289]

Kevin...OK, if I ever make it back up arround Rangeley, and get a big buck, I'm callin' ya'!!!

[@chrisbrann212]

Been hunting the mountains of Jackman area since I was 16, now 44, bagged a few big ones.. they’re all big up there, pretty easy to drag a 200+ lb buck on snow, though I haven’t done it in 15 years or so, a buddy of mine hunted up there with us guy was a freak of nature met Larry Benoit after he read how to bag, and his average in ten years was 225, and this guys attention span was about two minutes, so Hal you’re absolutely right, anyone can do it, and to just put it out there, many think Hal Blood is the best whitetail hunter in Maine, and I believe it, keep on tracking my brother of the woods, God Bless
