Opening day Pa archery 2024

My adventures on opening day of archery season 2024, and all the critters on the oak flat.

[@REF49]

Just a great day, great video, in over forty years hunting in tree stands I thought I had seen just about every thing but I never had this combination of wildlife, especially the bears. What a day you had, even if you didn’t take a deer home. Just wonderful! Thanks!

[@mglangley56]

Enjoyed your video. One of the great things about hunting, as you said, is that you never know what you will see!

[@jscott4431]

Cool video! Even if the hunt is unsuccessful, you can still find enjoyment just being in nature and observing. Glad momma bear decided not to climb up to say hi.

[@rmiller334]

I’d say there was nothing unsuccessful about that hunt. No he didn’t take a deer home but in my book, it doesn’t get much better than that.

[@fredhuffman7320]

I really thought that little bear was going to pull your arrow and run away with it!. I ran it back to see if Mom stopped at your arrow. I was literally LOL!! Great day in the woods!

That doe was MAGNIFICENT! She saw you and was alerting every thing in sight!

Great job. I would have shit my pants when momma bear hugged the tree.

It was def going to get interesting if she kept climbing she had all 4 paws off the ground

That was an awesome video, buddy. I had a bear in Maine climb up the tree. It came with in 6-8 feet of me till i thought it was close enough and I put a 300win mag in his chest. Thanks for sharing !! I had to share your video

Awesome video man !! An a lot of wildlife I think if I could get my bow pulled back without being detected that doe wouldn't have stamped her feet so much I don't think she will forget lol loved the bears playing around too really cool thanks for sharing that

[@bentpolski]

Very Cool!

[@deepwood4]

Great video. I've had a large male come up my tree in bow season years ago in PA. Glad to see they finally gave us a bow season for bear. I say make it like NY. If you have a bear tag you can harvest any legal bear in all big game season.

[@jacobscreekoutdoors2274]

@@deepwood4 i get a bear tag every year because i know they are in the area. I didn’t know that NY could take a bear in any big game season. I’m not sure that would be good for pa’s bear population but it would def increase the bear harvest

[@deepwood4]

@@jacobscreekoutdoors2274 there's no shortage of Bear in PA. It's just ridiculous that you can't fill a tag that's in your pocket because it's the wrong day.

Good video man ! I'm jumping onboard ! ✌

[@MrAlohaWildMan]

Nice spot bro! What amazing wildlife! I wish I could find a honeyhole with that kind of topography in Eastern NC that isnt being constantly run through by pack dogs!

[@jacobscreekoutdoors2274]

@@MrAlohaWildMan the walk is def worth it! By pack dogs are you referring to the guys running dogs for deer?

[@thekeystoneexperiencepodca4561]

Good stuff

[@KevinTodd-u7d]

The deer was way gone before the arrow ever hit the ground you need to get you a lawn mower or recurve

[@cspfitch]

That is probably the craziest video I’ve seen this year!! Wow just really impressive. I know it would have been better if you did miss the doe but just think you probably would’ve missed the show.

[@jacobscreekoutdoors2274]

[@BudBanksOutdoors]

When she acted like she gonna climb tree I been there before while hunting in PA!!! Better a clean miss than a bad hit anyday!!!!

You must be using Tinks. When a deer is looking towards you, you can’t move like you did.

[@jacobscreekoutdoors2274]

@@jaywinters2483 no tinks needed back there i did a lot of things in this video I normally wouldn’t do when hunting. This trip was more about playing with the camera and seeing what all it takes to run a camera and hunt at the same time.
