Solo Female Camping and Hunting: Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia (Part 6, The Finale)

[@scotts7572]

Heidi, I have watched the video of the shot probably around 15 times on a 65 inch screen lol. It looks like a slip and not a complete fall. So as for the buck I think you will see him next year or if you get up there the last few days of this season. As for how it all went down, you did your due diligence in trying to find blood and the buck, searching including the next morning. That is an ethical hunter... So happy to see this. You are a gem Heidi, The whole series was a hit for me and thousands of others. There is nothing more beautiful than a Lady who knows how to fish and hunt, and proves it daily lol. You are a true outdoors enthusiast. I love your videos keep them coming. I have been hunting and fishing for about 42 years. A tail up is what we call a white flag lol and when a deer is hauling butt it is usually up that's why you see it lol. Shooting from a rest and free standing is different and to top it off buck fever may have helped some, but you did look fairly steady when you did shoot. Bad luck this time get him next time. Peace be with you Heidi, keep at it lady...

[@danielstrother2494]

I agree. It was more important of the natural dip they do when startled. It’s also a myth that rain will wash all the blood away. It has to be an absolute downpour even then you will still find it undercover. Highly unlikely that you would t find at least a small amount of hair although possible. I believe it was a clean miss. I have hunted for 35 years and have a tracking dog with a few notches under his belt. I think she can sleep well at night knowing she was diligent in looking and even the best shots miss if they hunt long enough.

[@johnpalmer7272]

If you hunt much, these things happen

[@alexvelasquez6518]

I absolutely love how humble you are with everything that you do even the respect you give to the animals when you're trying to harvest the meat you're such a wonderful woman I learned a lot from this video.

[@chrisfoley3320]

One of the best documentaries on a hunting trip ever. As a Virginian hunter i enjoyed that old farm place. We all have lost a deer before it hurts for a while.

[@davidreed3647]

Heidi, I am so impressed with what you did on this hunt. Solo hunting, camping and filming is not an easy task. I enjoyed the videos very much. They inspired this season hunter to work harder. You ask for a story about an unsuccessful harvest. Here’s mine: Year ago I was muzzzleloader hunting the late Dec season. It was a cold evening with 30 mph west winds. I was still hunting the edge of a cedar thicket on the east side of a hill below a winter wheat food plot. I knew deer took cover in this thicken on such days. As slowly hunted the edge, I saw a doe jump the fence onto my farm disappearing behind the break of the hill. I eased up to see the deer. It was 80+ years out. As I was about to shoot, a second BIG doe stepped over the hill only 40 yards away and was staring straight at me. I decided to shoot at the closer, bigger doe. I swung through and pulled the trigger. Both deer ran back to the fence where that had came, jumping it and disappearing. At the site of the shot I only found a pinch of hair; no blood. I searched for her until 2 AM and a couple more hours the next morning. No deer. Like you, I was very upset about potentially wounding a deer that went off to died somewhere. Playing the scene back in my mind, I was pretty sure that I swung through on the shot too far, only grazing her shoulder. The next spring I was harrowing my food plot when I see a doe jump the fence at the same place where the two had escaped the previous season. I stopped my tractor to watch her. She marched straight across the field to me, stopping only 30 yards away. She turned to show me a scare on her left shoulder which would have been the same shoulder I would have grazed 4 months earlier. She stood there a moment then casually walked back the fence, jumped and disappeared. I think she came out to gloat that she was better than me. I was happy that she survived. Watching the slow-mo of the video, I agree with your friend. You hit the deer between the lungs and spine--no man's land. It should survive.

[@spriggdude6195]

Keep your head up. You have the right attitude about turning it into a learning experience. I had a big 8 go down last year during muzzleloader with plenty of blood where I shot it. Deer got up and walked off before I could reload. Never found it and tracked til blood ended. Deer are tough. I've killed deer with multiple old wounds. Make adjustments and go at it again! Enjoyed your videos.

[@gerrybooker8765]

You did great. That’s why it’s called hunting. But it’s nice to get outdoors and clear your mind of the daily grind. Love watching you.❤️❤️❤️

[@charliesebbage9401]

My respect for you has gone up. Your a real person showing the reality of hunting. So many others wouldn’t of posted this footage & so many more wouldn’t of spent the time & effort searching. Respect to you x

[@steveb7310]

I feel your pain girl, I hate it when I miss, or worse yet wound an animal I'm hunting. Like you said, everything is a learning experience good or bad. I really like the raw honesty and quality you put in your videos, it's refreshing. Never stop being who you truly are.

[@stevecampbell1834]

I enjoyed your hunting and camping series more than any other such series I have watched. Looking forward to your next big adventure, hope it is soon!

[@Bearclaws1234]

Thoroughly enjoyed your series! You make honest to goodness efforts and that alone makes your vids enjoyable! I will add this on a personal note; you were raised right and your light shines bright. Peace out!

[@wayneknicely1873]

It's painful but sooner or later it happens. You did the right thing and didn't just give up. Glad to see the family came back to help! You are the complete package. True outdoorsman! And one heck of a shot!! Looking forward to your next adventure! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your family, and I hope your dog is feeling better!

[@Bowdoggg]

Thanks Heidi I’m learning from your adventures I truly appreciate your efforts. Living in Baltimore has a different life style but watching different you tubers has opened my mind to life. Thanks

[@bobstanczyk2179]

Sorry you didn't recover your deer, don't beat yourself up it happens to every hunter out there. Have a merry Christmas and a wonderful new year! Keep the videos coming can't wait for the next one.

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Well deer or not, I just love the fact that you’re there on your own, enjoying the hunt. Nice vid, stay safe. Your sub numbers are climbing fast!

[@richardcavett7241]

Thanks for sharing. I had a real nice buck come into my stand in bow season this year. I literally prayed as he approached to not mess this up. I then promptly messed up the shot and just scraped his belly. We saw him again a few weeks later so we know he survived. Hopefully you will see this buck again. God Bless!

[@rachelr.1885]

Great series Heidi!! Lots of people have tips and tricks and opinions on how you could’ve done things differently. But it’s clear you know what you’re doing and as hunters we’re always learning. I’ve left the woods many times empty handed- but at least we get that time in the woods! Thanks for keeping it real~ Excited to see more from you! Cheers!

[@markbrown9838]

Great series Heidi. Beautiful scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

[@davidbalderston2751]

When I watched your first video I thought "Oh there's another girly-girl. It has become very evident to me that there is so much more to you than just a pretty face. Thank you for sharing your heart. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

[@dannyv.1724]

Thank you for a compelling series Heidi ..it was great coming along on your Adventure and like they all said before me, we've all been through it so this is just your 1st time… your parents raised a very ethical hunter and you should be proud of yourself for that and for sticking with it this whole time. Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@V7avalon]

Showing the ups and downs of reality is far more appealing to watch than some ego oriented chest puffer that edits out all his failures. Love your adventures. 👍

[@rooster7658]

I agree

[@jimmiefarris4218]

Young lady I have the utmost respect for you and the enormous effort that you went to to recover your dear. I have been hunting for 60 years and I can tell you you have nothing to be ashamed of. What happened to you happens to all hunters .When it happened to me I actually cried for the deer. It is a very sickening feeling. Like you I worried for days but you will recover, you will probably always remember that day,I still do.But that experience made me a better hunter and taught me to become a better shot. I really think you shoot very good and you did all you could do to recover your deer. I really think the wound on your deer was superficial and I can say that from 60years of hunting and guiding other hunters. You are a sweet and compassionate young lady and a shining example of a TRUE HUNTER. WISH THERE WERE MORE LIKE YOU. P.S.ALWAYS TRY TO KEPT YOUR EYE ON THE DEER AT THE IMPACT OF THE BULLET. IF THE DEER ARCHES HIS BACK IT IS USUALLY A FATAL SHOT. SOMETIMES THEY MAY JUMP STRAIGHT UP WHEN ARCHING THEIR BACK . This means learning to deal with the recoil of your rifle, but try to keep the scope on the game. This becomes very difficult with heavy recoiling rifles but for a deer rifle it can be done. I have more but I won't bother you further. GOD BLESS HAPPY HUNTING MOST OF ALL ALWAYS BE SAFE. ⚘⚘⚘

[@kilotango7164]

Have never seen anyone put together a six part series on hunting and camping so this was great!

[@adamzimmerman7234]

I love all your adventures !!you keep it real .you show the real life and truth . Your not on a power trip . You don't hide your mistakes . You show the good ,the bad and the ugly and the tells me the you are a good person at heart you have a lot of good qualities. You made your mom and daddy proud keep it real Heidi

[@Theoperator326]

Well you did a awesome job .. first off you are a hunter! Nobody anywhere should intimidate you ever. You are a hunter period! Your a amazing outdoors woman. I'm sorry you didn't recover your buck.. it sucks I know... but it will happen to all of us. Keep up your adventures you will have your own show on the outdoor channel or sportsman's channel one day soon I bet. You are completely amazing and it's a pleasure to get to see your passion and follow you. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas... u rock beautiful ..

[@garyknepper4546]

Sorry you weren’t able to recover that buck. I know that horrible feeling as I did that same thing here in South West Virginia in November this year. It’s a feeling you never get completely over. Best we can hope for is that our deer weren’t hit hard and will recover. They are tough animals and many recover from a non fatal hit. Good luck in your future hunts.

[@chinarider2778]

If mortally wounded, or even hobbled sasquatch got a good meal out of it. Don't feel bad. Your morality is commendable.

[@joelassiter5472]

Don't let it get you down it happens to the best of us but when you go to woods you should have your gun available to load at any time to kill your game when you get to your field

[@scott2806]

You did everything you're supposed to. We've all been there at one time. It is a horrible feeling. Thank you for sharing the story with us. No matter what the outcome, it is a great series. Just randomly ran across this series and I love it. Keep it up!

[@davidgarcia01234]

That was cool to see that some things don't go as planned, but that's what happens in life! I enjoyed watching it and butter next time, you will get your deer ! Can't wait for next year! 😎👍

[@chuckgallup9746]

This has been an awesome series, thank you for keeping it real...not every hunting trip brings that prize....but its the journey of the hunt, not the pulling of the trigger.

[@cello4ever85]

Wow! that looks like a really long shot, 300 yards? Love the outfit, and the country! I've been deer hunting 6 or 7 times, and they can still run 1 to 2 miles, I only understand sustenance hunting and feel the same way you do, I'm sorry you couldn't find him. thank you for sharing, humbly 😟

[@ericsutton4460]

Just wanted to shot out a Merry Christmas to ya and that's another awesome video .

[@rubberduckscott]

Heidi I've really enjoyed your videos and as a hunter this will happen eventually to us ALL. Keep learning each time you go outdoors and you'll never regret one minute. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@bradreid8199]

Hey girl, we live and we learn. All I have to say is that I'm super proud of you for not only getting out there hunting, but throwing in a solo camp as well, my hat is off to you. Also thank you for showing your struggles and all the efforts you put in to trying to find your buck. Keep it up girl! I look forward to seeing more adventures in the future!

[@ashleybedwell3402]

I’m proud of ya girl! The time you put in shows your love of the sport. I enjoyed this series.

[@chrsheim1105]

Every hunter in the world has experienced would you did on your hunt. Taking a shot and possibly missing or making a poor shot and wounding the deer is a horrible feeling. Every hunter has been there.

I think it is great to see a young woman taking on a challenge of a DIY hunt on her own. I would love to see more girls get into the outdoors and hunting.

[@leonfoster3112]

You are quite the outdoors woman. I enjoy your posts. Thanks for posting

[@idaho2ndgens240]

You did great on your search, looking for your deer. That is what a good hunter does. It happens to the best hunters, eventually you will miss. Don't give up and you will find success. Nothing better than harvesting your own food. Good luck in the future.

[@ncbirdwatch5992]

I love your outlook on this whole hunt. As in life, hunting doesn't always turn out the way we want it to (nor fishing! 😉). I love that you are true to who you are. I love your can do attitude. Continue to do you. I'll continue to watch, enjoy both your ups & downs.

[@JDubbsadventure]

Hunting in those mountains has been hard so far this year for me and my friends great video keep them up

I’m sorry about the deer. It’s a terrible feeling but it happens. I have loved this series of videos. You are a beautiful hunting lady and you seem lake a sweet heart! Merry Christmas and wish you luck for next year!❤️

No worries. You have the right attitude and compassion. Inspirational for anyone that watches your videos. Good job. Better luck next time.

[@vbrinkley121]

Once again, impressive. Most KZbinrs will only post their triumphs. Thank you for keeping it real with us viewers. If you ever need a location to hunt fairly near to your N.C. home; my families farm is just over an hour from you, you are welcome to hunt either of our farms.

[@brianbevier4188]

Just discovered your Videos and I am impressed with how you put things together and your caring of all things outdoors. If I can offer a tip an old bow hunter showed me years ago when tracking deer, he carried a small spray bottle with him filled with Hydrogen Peroxide and if he had a problem telling blood from the red leaves he would give it a shot of spray. If it was blood it would foam up. I have used this trick a couple times through the years, hope it helps. Keep up the good work young lady.

[@markm7648]

[@johnferrer8971]

Heidi anyone who has hunted know this happens but you put the effort in to recover the deer. As far as the outcome, it’s not the outcome we all wanted for you, but I enjoyed the series, with the bear, Ello, then your family running up in the field, they it all you hung in there stuck it out and got a shot!!! You are a good shot but misses and fails just happen nothing is garunteed, learn from it hold your head up and keep it up!!! Keep it real!!!

[@johnwilson6464]

Don’t worry about not shooting anything!thats why it’s called hunting and not called killing! You’re doing great just being out there and hopefully you’ll influence other girls to go do things for themselves!!

[@anthonygangone3242]

Awesome video and awesome series of videos documenting your experience. I know it doesn’t help but it happens to everyone. I know how you feel because it’s happened to me too. It’s happened to us all, but you know what? That’s what makes the experience. If every time we fished , or hunted we were successful it wouldn’t be what the outdoors are all about. Going hunting and fishing are EXACTLY about what you experienced. Highs, lows, everything in between. I can tell you this, I for one, enjoy hunting and fishing for those experiences like you had, I want to work for my rewards, I don’t want them to be easy. I want the agony of defeat, so I can come back next time, use what I learned during my failures so that I can then enjoy the thrill of victory. Next season I fully expect you to be right out in that tent again, making your hot soup, waiting for the sun to come up to see if you’ll be successful or not. As much as I’m waiting for my own deer season next year, I’m also waiting for yours.

[@DEADorALIVEkayaking]

When you hunt long enough, and shoot enough, eventually you're going to lose one. Sucks, but like you said, it's one of those things. As far as second guessing yourself for not taking one of the other deer that presented a shot...you had your reasons for passing them up, and there's no future in sitting there second guessing about it after the fact. Also, you nailed EXACTLY why I don't watch any of the TV hunting shows. Reality is sometimes, or even most times, coming home empty handed, or having to interrupt your hunt to deal with a family emergency, or getting rained on when you're not expecting to... Yeah, I enjoyed the series, and am definitely looking forward to more like this! Stay after 'em, Heidi!

[@kevinlaroche3886]

Just Keep doing what your doing it's all about learning from your accomplishment and the failures it makes us who we are ! Loved the videos. thumbs up. Thanks you

[@CrayzMark]

Couple years back I had a Desert Bighorn Sheep tag... I ended up shooting at a very respectable Ram... could've sworn I got a good hit on him... we looked and looked, nothing... finally after a day in a half of being in that area we finally found him... so many emotions hit me over that course of time... definitely not a easy experience to go through. Respect that you went your hardest trying to find that deer. Last Mule Deer hunt I did, I went by myself trying to find one in some very high country... from a rock cliff I spotted a nice 3 pt buck late in the day (over 600 yards away) bedded down in some high brush... I waited for in the morning to make a move, the buck was still there so I ended up going on a stalk... the wind started blowing down hill, towards where I'd last seen him... couldn't find him anymore through the binos... so I looked all around and back up towards that rock cliff I was on... he was going up the hill 🤦🏽‍♂️ and eventually he went out of sight. I questioned myself hard for making that stalk. Also that very same day my truck broke down lol🤷🏽‍♂️💯💯

[@davidnave4349]

God bless you hun. I know it doesn't make you feel any better but if you hunt long enough these things can and will happen. The fact that you give your best effort. You are Amazing. Keep hunting and keep up your great attitude.

[@jcg9042]

I am amazed how you showed respect to the deer. Great series and please make more videos. Merry Christmas from FL.

[@dj3939]

This was a great video. You showed a bit of the emotion everyone feels when things do not go according to plan. You absolutely put in the time to find the animal. You obviously have been replaying the whole scenario in your head as all hunters do. Videoing your hunt gives you an added opportunity to see, and fix your mistakes. Putting it on KZbin leaves you open to scrutiny. Tough lady. I have just stumbled onto your channel, and enjoy the content that I have seen. 👍 looking forward to viewing more.

[@brett76544]

Nice flat round, M77, and the Leopold scope. The ruger of mine with Leopold scope I have not moved the sights in over 30 years and still touch rounds at 100 yards. The scope mounts for the rugers are very durable. This year I am changing the primers that I use, powder and bullet, so I will have to adjust the sights finally. About 10 years ago someone hit a doe in the leg, and through the winter I was clearing an area of clover with just a covering of snow. We had up to 3 ft that winter of snow cover. Her fawns broke trail along with a few past fawns with their fawns, 9 in total. There were two fawns she had over the years with white half way up the side and both were there. By the end of January she was walking and had 2 fawns in the spring. They would stand and watch me clear and area of snow, then eat while I watched them from the cabin. It is always funny standing in a field with deer eating around you with out a care in the world.

[@nielshansen776]

Yes they call it buck fever! We all have had it at least once and rushed our shot. Patience. I try to tell myself when I see the deer is just like target practice and take a deep breath! And always use a rest when possible. It's going to make your shot that more steady! Enjoy your videos!

[@cokeandlime]

Whaaaaat!?! You are an all around outdoorsman/woman. I’m impressed!!!

Catching up on your videos I think it is amazing what you do this solo series was awesome. Definitely love the videos keep them coming 👍

[@markpennington9008]

Heidi take another look at the video of the 2 shots and notice when you shot the target your rifle recoiled back where as when you shot at the deer the barrel went up on the recoil . Stands a good chance you missed him and I have seen many deer react like they have been hit when shot at .

[@redbaron129]

Awesome series Heidi . You are so inspiring to follow.

[@tampadroneauthority]

I was in Tennesse last week visiting my Dad. We went driving around a couple of state parks. You would not believe how many deer just walked by my car. I was telling my Father "it's like they know it's not hunting season" we must have seen at least 3 dozen deer, including some bucks. Careful up there!

[@scondy1]

Thanks for putting this together. It was nice of your parents to help like that. Very nice hit on that target. Don't feel bad about that buck. You did all you could.

[@beachlife8367]

I really liked these episodes, even though they didn't end anywhere near where I thought they would. I was truly looking forward to every episode. Even though you didnt find the deer, don't let it get you down. I really feel that the deer is actually alive and well. We may never know for sure but as long as you didnt do anything purposely to hurt the animal, don't let it get you down. And you learned to be an even better hunter out of all this. I applaud your bravery in putting these videos out here, bcuz you could have just kept this to yourself and we would have never known. But you didn't and I think that's pretty cool. Be good and have a great holiday.

[@stephenwallace5399]

I loved every video and you should be very proud of yourself. You camped with a bear in the area and you show that everyday is not sun shine and the right temperature.

[@rbakken2999]

Nice to see you put in a good effort to find the deer. Seems so many times I see people look for 25 yds and then assume that they missed and quit looking. Many times I haven't seen blood for 50 yds. then see spray everywhere. Fun to watch your videos. I see where your good looks come from. Your mom is pretty too. You make me want to try making videos.

[@MrCrisler57]

You did great! Anyone who hunts long enough will experience this and you're right, it is a terrible feeling, but don't beat yourself up over it. I literally laughed out loud when you said your job was to search the bottom, your mom would such the middle, and your dad is "missing" somewhere. 😂 Next year you should come hunt in Texas. I have a property just loaded with deer and the terrain would make a great video. You could even bring your dad and brother. There is plenty of great hunting for everyone. I loved your video series. I wish there was more.

[@eggbert191]

Just like my first year hunting. Even did a damn CSI search grid with 4 people the following day. Was devastated. Your reaction in the car shows that you have the heart of a hunter not the trophy antler KZbin channels. At the very least take comfort in knowing if the deer did expire it will feed the wildlife. Cheers

[@GritsnGravy61]

I lost buck a few years ago because I was using mechanical broadheads, thought I made a good shot, found the broad head later and didn’t open! Since then I only used fixed broadheads. I was like you extremely upset, scoured the earth for the deer only found trace amounts of blood. I went home got my blue tick coonhound to help she couldn’t find it either. Keep your chin up and practice shooting, practice makes perfect. When you have confidence you can control buck fever. That 260 rem is plenty of gun and highly accurate, very comparative to a 6.5 creedmoor. Good luck next time

[@morganwarren4039]

You did an amazing job on this series! Remember if everything always went perfect in the woods they’d call it killing instead of hunting! Keep your head up and better luck next season 🙂

[@davidschachle6689]

Great series! Sorry you didn't find her dear but we are all glad the bear didn't get you :-). We have all had experiences like that hunting, the good thing is that you were so concerned about it and you will take more precaution next time. We all live and learn. Again awesome series. Thanks for posting :-)

[@HuntAndStunt]

Happens to the best of ‘em! I’m a seasoned hunter and last week I completely missed a deer because I forgot to aim high at 350 yards lol. Redeemed myself yesterday. Target practice is one thing but it’s another thing in the heat of the moment so many things come in to play in a split second. Looking forward to watching your channel grow, those go-pros make everything look so far away. Maybe mention what gun/caliber/bullets/grain your using and how far your shot was. ...I like your dad, should have him on more often! Cheers Beautiful and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year🍻

You are very brave to be out there camping on your own, especially with a bear in the neighborhood. Please take care, we do want you to be safe.

I am a fisherman and shooter its any ones bet if your shot was a good placement but i would lean towards a miss due to lack of blood and blood trail. Obviously you are a fantastic shooter and bet that next time you will harvest your share of deer again! Thanks for sharing and for being such a wonderful young lady!

It happens to the best of us. Not your fault and dont beat yourself up. Deer are reluctant animals and it probably survived. If you want real disappointment try fishing for muskys! Lol merry Christmas.

Just as others have said, it's nice to see your videos and all of the real trials and tribulations of hunting.

Another great video from a wonderful person. Sorry you didn't get your buck but it was still a great series,Thank you!

[@chadd.9799]

Better luck next time! Just goes to show, if you hunt long enough, you will have these types of stories. It takes a lot of courage to put yours out there for everyone to see. Keep your chin up and hopefully next season will be better. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Great series and thanks for sharing. That's part of life what happened. You did everything you could for a good outcome. Just did not happen this time. There will be other days. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Gorgeous as always!

It was a very exciting journey! It felt kinda like I was there with you. Sorry you didn't recover the buck. Hope your holidays were happy and merry...

You rock you did nothing wrong it happens to all of use. Great job following through and doing everything you could to find your deer

[@randybaker9846]

I had one last year and I couldn't find a drop of blood for about 200 yards. Then right before I spotted the deer he started pouring blood . And I've had one to show no blood until it laid down . Keep your head up because you did a very good job anyways. I enjoyed your videos
