[@JoeTheFarmer]

Boy do I love these videos!!! Feel like I am part of the camp. Appreciate the shoutout my friend and hope that you and your family have a safe and very Merry Christmas!

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Joe, had a good time there. If you felt like you're there, then I did my job. LOL. And heck you helped with the grill so you are part of the camp!. Send me a pic of that buck mount when you get it back. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family

[@mevl4822]

Thanks you.I lost my brother last year, he taught me to love hunting and the outdoors. I knew I couldn’t watch your videos until I had time to heal. I watched the entire 2021 deer hunt video and it helped me remember all the good times. Thank you very much for allowing us to join your hunt. Wish you and the guys the very best.

[@whiterook85]

Hello Mev L, sorry to hear about the loss of your Brother. I'm sure it was a difficult time for you and the family. I hope watching the videos helped with remembering the great times you and your brother had together. Take care!

[@rodneymyers5114]

I'm glad I found this video. Brings back so many memories from my days in deer camp back in the 80's with my Pop-Pop in Centre County. The cabin and most of those guys are gone now so thank you for sharing this. Such good times and good memories to be made and shared.

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it Rodney and it could bring back some happy times for you. We don't get a lot of deer there, but we do have a great time we remember year after year.

[@harveyhagar]

This was EPIC. Such a great brotherhood. The Chairman cracks me up. He reminds me of every guy I grew up with, ballbreaking and joking with your friends. You guys rock.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Harvey, yep the Chairman is a 'card'. By himself he's another person, you get a few people there he plays right into it. As it should be! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

Waited all year for this one, now my season is complete. Really enjoyed this video and always, amazed how you can mix it up. Although no deer, looks like a great trip and you certainly capture what hunting and deer camp is all about. Now we have the long wait until next season. Regards Mark

[@whiterook85]

Glad you could wrap it up on a high note Mark! Still have one more deer camp video in my pocket for later. Take care, stay warm and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family!

Cherish every moment you get at camp with friends and family. This year we got hit with the covid . My son who was 29 passed away December 26th. My cousin who is 30 is still on a ventilator. Im glad i got to spend the time with them at camp. It was the last time we were all together.

[@whiterook85]

Sorry to hear about the family getting hit hard. I defiantly relish the time we spend up there together.

Wonderful! Everyone looked like they enjoyed the great food and company! Fun to tag along and see! Camp looks great! Hope the tree guy can meet your needs this Spring. Always enjoy seeing your videos! Thank you!

Thanks Derrick, was thinking the other day it wont be long now even though it was 90+°. Waiting a few weeks before I head back up to check on the logging again. Take care and good luck this year!

Nice video of a great family tradition. It’s always nice to peek into someone else’s camp and see how they hunt. Thanks.

[@robert-hg5jy]

Just want to say i love your videos. I too do a lot of driving to get to my Fulton county Pa hunting camp from my home on Long Island. Unfortunately i and my brother have decided to sell because of the lack of deer and because of our aging. All of those who hunted at our camp will be missed as will the time we shared together there for the past 32 years. Where does the time go? Thanks for keeping our memories alive through your videos. Bob K , Semper Fi

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Bob for the kind words! The lack of deer (at least in our area) has been a big disappointment for us. But we are hoping things may change after we do some logging. I'm sure you and your brother enjoyed the time there and will have those fond memories to remember for a long time. Take care and stay safe!

Never many kills but lots of camp life which is great. Reminds me of our VA camp but with less deer. Keep up the good work WR!

[@whiterook85]

No, we thought we may have a chance at the other farm this year, but proved uneventful. Many doe could have fallen, but I'd rather see them repopulate a little more. Thanks Scott!

[@scottd41069]

@@whiterook85 , we harvest a lot of does each year to keep the the buck to do ratio closer to 50/50 as possible. It took a couple of years but really started paying off with more and bigger bucks being seen and harvested on our farm. Not sure what it’s like in PA but in VA it works. We killed 5 bucks and 11 does this year. Seems like a lot of does but only a small fraction of the population in reality. Happy hunting!

[@thalleshoward3962]

Finally the gang is back. I love the intro on what you guys shoot. Camp cook was funny baby rifle.

Another classic "Camp Go Time" hunting video. Nice to see all the guys made it up for the annual PA hunt. Deer or no deer it's always great to be with friends and family. Those meals all looked so good and Camp Cook appears to be back in the game with the Dutch Oven Smoker Brisket stew. The Chairman even seemed to like it so it must of been good. Speaking of the Chairman, he was very generous this year to his RITP fans especially @ 36.03 Lol Hope your enjoying your 6.5 Creedmoor Whiterook. Would of been nice to have tried it on a buck down at that farm with the big long fields. Next year. Big congrats to Shawn on a dandy DE buck. Looking forward to the solo vid . Until next time TC and RITP !

[@whiterook85]

Hello Ian, glad you enjoyed! I think RITPs is a Camp classic at this point. I know the Chairman wont forget about it. We had some good meals. I think I need to break out the bone-in Rib Roast again. Would have liked to test out the Creedmoor on something this year. NC or PA I didn't a good buck to present himself. In DE we can only use shotgun or pistol caliber, so no 6.5 there. I have the same Winchester XPR (same camo also) in .350 Legend. Shawn's buck was a real good one, as you could hear the beeps when we found it. Everyone was excited.

Always love your videos. I'm originally from PA and for the last 15-20 years my brothers and dad headed to deer camp in McKean County. Unfortunately we only managed to all be up there together once. One of my brothers and I recently retired out of the military and were going to make this journey more often but sone things have changed. But like you said it's the memories that count. We are not sure if we are going to continue this tradition, we lost our father to his battle with agent orange, just a few weeks ago. Kinda hard watching your video this year but it was definitely therapeutic. Keep them coming.

[@joshmistovich7331]

Got my popcorn ready for this year patiently waiting

[@whiterook85]

How about 6pm EST tonight!!! Hour and ten minutes long, get an extra large bag.

[@TheOutdoorAdventureTeam]

I miss the traditional opening day. I miss hanging out the weekend having a few beers telling stories busting balls. Leave it to the game commission to screw that up.

[@whiterook85]

I totally agree, and with the guys wanting to go up later means I could shave a day or two off the trip also.

[@KPaul77]

Been waiting for this! Was up at my cabin also wondering how you guys were making out

[@whiterook85]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@brad8580]

As always on of my favorite KZbin videos of the year. Your deer camp reminds me of my deer camp in so many ways. Keep up the good work

[@whiterook85]

Thanks! Will do Brad, hope you had some luck in your Camp this year.

[@4bearscamp219]

Great video and glad to see all of the guys still got together. Shawn headed towards my camp. I’ll have to check out his video if post one.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks! Shawn told me it was a little chilly on that trip. His video should be up next week or sooner.

[@stevec7498]

Waited all year for this one. Cracked open a cold one and ready to watch the video. Cheers

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Steve, hope you enjoyed!

[@urbanredneck968]

Watch all your vids, but always waiting for this one! I love hunting while it’s snowing.

[@whiterook85]

It's really nice up there when it snows. Shows off the lay of the land really nice. Now getting down our mountain road is a little scary. Hopefully I'll have the solo part out soon.

[@MrJameswade88]

I look forward to these videos annually, hopefully I have a camp of My own this year!

[@whiterook85]

Good luck with getting your camp, memories for years to come.

[@dnhman]

12 days off grid! Nice going Tom and crew. Better luck next year!

[@whiterook85]

Was a pretty long time to be there, gets to you after a while. I said I don't think I can do it again, my wife told me to go. Do you think she's trying to tell me something?

[@dnhman]

@@whiterook85 Yepper, LOl, Well this past summer I was up our OG cabin for two days when the wife called and said she tested positive for covid. I stayed up there for 5 more nights alone and it was a tad lonely especially at dinner time. Curious how you handles washing up? Thanks for sharing your trip was looking forward to the video.

[@whiterook85]

Think you're right! During the cold months I heat water up in the kettle and just wash up. I did my hair over the empty trash can. Summer time we use the coleman shower bags. Also the Duke Cannon and Dude Showers are pretty good for getting cleaned up. Not as nice as a real shower, but during the winter, a lot warmer.

[@dnhman]

@@whiterook85 still,,, 12 days,, your a legend!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you, thank you!!

[@davidgornick87]

Great video. Keep them coming.

[@whiterook85]

More to come!

[@evang8374]

Once again whiterook this is a masterclass in story telling, you did it again.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks so much Evan!!!

[@NYPrepper]

Was my first PA deer/bear season this year, I was in Cameron county. I am a transplant from NY. I am excited for this Fall as I have had more time to scout and get familiar with the terrain and areas with lots of pressure. Any suggestions for public land Bear hunting?

[@whiterook85]

Congrats on your first season, I'm sure you learn a few things and had a great time. I really don't hunt bear, so I'm not familiar with the hotspots.

[@adamkennedy4454]

Love your stuff. I wish we had that weather down here in Louisiana. Keep up the good work.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks, will do Adam, that touch of snow was pretty nice.

[@kevinboyer1153]

Glad you had good time. I know where your camp and the farm are both good spots.

[@whiterook85]

Like that farm area. Just something a little different, and the deer eat farm crops about all year long.

[@jacobpoucher]

these vids are youtube gold rook! LGB! the Chairman ROCKS!!! Snacks is defeated!

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Jacob, you hit the nail on the head with that. Snacks is now down to bargaining with Mike on who buys Tonys!

I always look forward to your deer camp videos - thanks for letting us come along! Looks like you guys had a great time, as always. I’m originally from Wilmington, DE (but living in the south now), so it’s fun to see my old “stomping grounds”. Keep up the great work!!

[@whiterook85]

Thanks for watching Eric, hope you enjoyed!

[@12ernie]

Great video as usual! Its all about having a good time and enjoying yourself!

[@whiterook85]

Thanks 👍Joseph, I like filming the craziness and bringing people along for the ride.

[@bigbake3306]

Great traditions and deer camp !!!!! We didn't have any luck this year either in PA but had a great time .

[@whiterook85]

Sorry to hear that Big, will have to see where things end up when they issue the harvest reports. Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@johnsangl]

I look forward to this video every year! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@whiterook85]

Our pleasure John, hope you had as good a time as we did.

[@TexasSmoking]

That time again always look forward to these videos! Sean sure did bag a stud of a buck, glad to see some success its been the worst season for me in a long long time on tx public land. Thanks for the great entertainment as usual

[@whiterook85]

Thanks! Was a great day for Shawn! Sorry to hear about TX, been a tough year for me also. 3 states and no bucks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@yergsadventures5198]

As Always, great content👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I appreciate that, thanks and Happy New Year!

Yay been watching and waiting for a new video from the gang. Thanks for the great video and memories Rook

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@RayRay_G]

Seeing your deer camp video go up is part of my hunting season routine now. Great addition adding the firearm and caliber that the guys use. Great video as usual.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Ray, will keep doing the firearm/Cal in case someone switches up.

[@darrelljones3382]

Yeah, that was pretty cool to see what everyone shoots, but what is a Remington Model 70 .270 that Camp Cook is shooting? I thought that he carried/shot a Remington 700 BDL .270? Maybe a typo, I love the Remington 700 BDL and the Remington ADL , great accurate rifles. I have several chambered in 30-06, 270, 243, 7mm-08, 308 and a custom Remington 700 ADL long action in .284 Winchester (very accurate). Too bad they don't make them like they used to. Love these videos WhiteRook85, keep them coming brother. 👍

[@whiterook85]

Going to have to check that, just asked him what he had. There I go taking someone's word again. 😀

[@Lennymcgra]

Quality as always, have a great Christmas

[@whiterook85]

Thanks, you too!

[@johnandree2331]

A long awaited video, and as always Tom another great camp video good food and good times the experience and the camaraderie mean more than the harvest to me also a nice tribute to your dear friend Senior Happy Holidays and be safe my friend

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed John, from talking to a lot of people this shows your normal deer camp. We have a great time, and go home happy with or without a deer. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@aaronjackson5862]

Been looking fer video. Glad y'all started off with snow on the ground it makes fer better hunting. Deer camp always goes quick. As you mentioned it's about making memories and good times with friends and family. Glad you and sintax had some luck in Delaware. We were a couple guys short fer our 🦌 camp this year one was injured and the other was forced to work. Glad you guys had a safe and productive hunt. P.s. keep the videos coming um liked chairman's chant Let's go Brandon.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Aaron, like the snow also. You can see so much better, tracks, blood trail, etc. Sorry to hear your camp was a little short this year. Will be all the better for them next year when they can attend.
