Thanks one more time for the ribeyes, everyone! We hope next year we can do the same, and all it takes is a like or a comment! 🙏🙏🙏

[@outdoorrn2980]

Next year hopefully T-bones. 😁

[@ryneingram9113]

After I saw them so overly cooked I wondered if I should quit watching as to not contribute to the issue

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

@@ryneingram9113 lol! Fire got a little hot!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

We’ll set the goal at ribeyes but if we only make it to t-bones we’ll still be appreciative!!!

[@shanelakings1890]

I love these deer camp videos! Keep em coming!!

[@glendonchesser7014]

Love the tradition!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much man!!! I appreciate you checkin' it out!!!

[@midwestracksrodsoutdoors]

Keep it up! Love checking out your Deer Camp videos every year.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much for your continued support! 👊👊👊

[@jasonmolle2857]

I enjoyed your video last year and this year. My family has hunted public in Florence county I.e. fence for hundred years.. we had great year we got five bucks …a 9,8,7 and two spikes ..interesting enough we got all our bucks from Wednesday on..out of five of us nobody saw more than four deer ..I guess we saw the right ones! Really enjoy these videos and the struggle of Florence county hunting

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much for the kind words! What do you attribute your success to from Wednesday on? I have noticed in our area over the last couple years that road hunting has gotten far more popular.

[@jasonmolle2857]

@@PlayinHookySportfishing it seems we have been doing better later on the season with rutting activity …maybe do to less people in the woods

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

Awesome video you show what deer camp is all about that’s great. Thanks for bringing us along !!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Preciate the feedback! Thanks for watching!! 👊👊👊

[@fishlovme]

Great video! Tough year for everyone in this state this year. Many reasons for that I'm sure, but we all still had fun hunting and that's what matters most! I did not see a buck this year!

[@mikeherber8358]

Cool real down to earth video wish all were like this

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Yeah it's certainly changing and dying, no doubt about that.

[@davidb1327]

Looks like you guys got the camping stuff figured out. Looks like a great bunch of guys. Wish there were more deer in your area. Good luck 🍀 on your next hunting adventure. 👍🦌

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks man! 👊👊👊

[@davechristel5408]

Great video again! Nice to see Kenny's memorial card in camp. I Archery hunt Florence county and saw some deer consistently in West Bass Lake area. Lots of illegal baiting to compete with. What a great tradition for your group.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much for watching and commenting Dave!

[@Kanook99]

That’s a pretty awesome camp.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much 👊👊👊👊

[@gobblerridgecalls]

Another great video! Awesome you guys carry on your gun deer camp traditions. Our deer camp tradition started falling apart in 2011 and is no longer something we all do together. Bummer you guys didn't get anything but I'm sure memories were made.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks for watching man! To be honest, I have wanted to bring our deer camp to Manitowoc County for the past decade or so. I keep telling the guys that the tradition started with deer. LOL.

[@fishlovme]

Oh wow, I didn't notice the trailer the last time I watched tis vid! Best of luck to you this deer season!

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

Thanks for tip on checking out yer older camp vids! This is what I'm talkin about! Hangin out at camp and all that it encompasses!

[@popeyoungorbust7425]

I really look forward to and enjoy your deer camp videos that you have put out the last few years. It really makes me miss the camp I used to go to just like it for 35 years.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thank you very much for your loyal support. I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you can hang out with us for our weekend in this way, even if it's not in person.

[@jaybaglio9265]

Great video, great group of guys. Keep up the good times.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Really appreciate it Jay. Thanks so much for watching, liking, commenting and subscribing. It means a lot to the whole crew!

Some great memories. Those ribeyes tho! 👍🍻

[@robertdahse4569]

Nice cabin,very impressive

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thank you very much! Each year is always a little different!

[@fishlovme]

We have a stand at our camp called "Deadmans Stand." The guy who used to hunt out of it passed away about 10 years ago and they named it then. That is the stand I shot my buck and doe out of the first year I hunted that property. Next year, a 6 point buck in same stand, so the stand has been pretty good to me!

[@richarddailey4786]

Great video, thanks for the time you took to go around and show and tell how camp was put together. Those are the kinda things I wonder when watching videos. Nice camp and guys, bummer on the deer tho. Good luck next time.🦌

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much for watching! Check out the vids from the other years if you get a chance. They’re all on my channel

[@flyingeagleoutdoors7252]

Great video as always! Seems about the same as most camps I’ve seen or spoken to not a lot of deer this year!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks very much! 👊👊👊 yeah there certainly didn’t seem to be a whole lot of action around our area compared to normal.

[@flyingeagleoutdoors7252]

Fun. Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks for watching! 👊👊👊

[@owenriggs8518]

Just a suggestion that we did to our similar deer camp… get some heavy duty white primer spray paint and hit the ceiling and walls. It doesn’t have to be pretty but you will be amazed at how much it improves the light inside! Even if you only do the ceiling as that was what we did first and were like WOW 😂

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Hmmm this sounds like a great idea

[@mountainman3645]

Got to love those packers, from Pennsylvania

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks for watching man!!! 👊👊👊

[@jake22-1]

Would love to see more on how the camp set up. Next year please

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

What would you like to see?

[@jasterbobafett555]

Great video. Traditions continue...

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Yessir! Thank you very much for watching!!! 👊👊👊

[@richiecaelwarts1911]

I use to hunt up north til the wolves took care of the deer had some great years til then hope someday it comes back .

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

I hope so too. Forestry is way down as well which really has made things suck. Thanks for watching, Richie. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@fishlovme]

Yum steaks! The landowner for our deer camp buys lobster tails for us to eat the Friday before opening day each year. I love hunting traditions!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Maybe I’ll get enough likes and comments on this video I’ll be able to afford surf and turf next year!!

[@thewhiteknight02]

We all got tags there in the northern forest this year, never in the past 10 years. Didn’t go north of the hwy though stayed south of 64.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

That’s awesome man thanks for watching and commenting!! 👊👊👊

[@timebythetent3594]

Thank you for the video. Very sorry you guys didn't get any deer.. we live just north of Milwaukee wife and I. We have 40 acres up in forest county and I solo Deer camped this year 1st time hunting Sine 2007 when I hunted on the farm I grew up on in Southern Illinois. I enjoy the camp traditions I created some this year. My wife who is very into the outdoors but never hunted before is very much thinking of hunting next year after eating deer that I got. Question you being on public land how do you insure that no one will be at or be hunting the area you hunt or be at where you put up camp?

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

We can never be sure. It definitely helps that we've been going there for a long time though. Generally we don't see many people walking around in the area we hunt. I have noticed a LOT more road hunting in our area in recent years though.

[@richardl.8915]

Tradition is important, but family and friends are importanter.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Yes.

[@larryharris1163]

Hunted U.P. Mi. for decades, Wolves/winters. Its become Wolf camp! So pissed off, dont go any more, Do miss the camp life! Have fun guys! Only live once!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Thanks man!! 👊👊👊

[@squirrellyacres]

Not a great year for many camps this year, the deer went into stealth mode around us this year.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Yeah they sure did. There's always next year!

[@matthewlutze7123]

Neat!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

What part?

[@matthewlutze7123]

The one with the guys

[@mikezwolinski1243]

Lmfao yeah just a sack of "eating apples" just chilling by the propane tank🤣🤣🤣fellow wisco hunter myself! Vilas county!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

LOL I figured someone would notice. My dad probably thought that since we can bait in Manitowoc County again we can do it up north. That bag came home just as full as it came up. Thanks for watching! You get anything?

[@mikezwolinski1243]

@PlayinHookySportfishing saw a few does. Had a doe tag but didnt want to shoot one. Need to replenish the herd up there as best as i can

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

@@mikezwolinski1243 Yeah I've been thinking about buying tags just so someone else can't buy em.

[@mikezwolinski1243]

@PlayinHookySportfishing unfortunately 1 out of 1500 didnt do anything this year. The amount of tags is ridiculous!

[@DarrenNowe]

Great video, not actually traditional deer camp theme music!! 😂

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

We crank all sorts of music at our deer camp! Thanks for watching!

I hunt just north of here in the town of Fern

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Awesome man! Good luck to you

[@peterchalk1192]

Nice camp. Deer may be scarce but, at least you guys eat well and have fun, that's important. Why did the doe have an orange collar? Good luck in the future.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Most likely someone’s pet. Thanks for the kind words! 👊👊👊

[@GaleHall-fp6fs]

Her name is Rosie and she is 5 years old; she was rescued as a fawn only a few days old. We love her dearly! She's always been free but we put an orange collar on her in hopes no one shoots her. She has had a fawn(s) every year including 2 sets of twins.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Never, and I mean never, leave your stand on the opening day of rifle season. Just a tip. 😁.... bummer on the number of deer you guys saw.

I really appreciate you being such a great supporter of the channel! Thanks for the steaks man!

[@jacobeggert590]

I have a cabin in fence, how far from there do you boys set up and hunt?

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

A couple miles. Right of rock creek road

[@jacobeggert590]

Thats awesome we are about a mile from fence post off whickstrom road

[@erich44magnum]

Why does Wisconsin schedule deer season after the rut makes it tough for you guys.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

It’s been that way for a long, long time. Usually in the north where we are bucks are still rutting during our gun season. Can do a lot of hunting during the rut with the bow though. Thanks so much for watching!! 👊👊👊

[@erich44magnum]

@@PlayinHookySportfishing many women and children that don’t Bowhunt or old bastards like me that don’t get around well can’t experience it. We should donate Wisconsin to Canada. Good luck to us all too many rules.

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

@@erich44magnum if you can’t pull a bow back you can use a crossbow during archery season in Wisconsin. Different, I know, but legal.

[@outdoorrn2980]

3rd week of November isn't after the rut......it's still going on.

[@fishlovme]

Buckjam couldn't make it this year?

No, I think Buckjam had to work or something.
