[@whiterook85]

Glad you like them! I'm always trying to get better.

[@bmk506]

Many more opening weeks to come ! 🤟

[@whiterook85]

Yes, you know it, one of these days.

[@urbanredneck968]

Great vid. Yesterday (Dec 16, 2023) I took my wife and daughter to the 250th anniversary celebration of the Boston Tea Party. We retraced the steps of the events including the march to the warf and dumping of the tea. The crates contained tea sent from all 50 states and Great Britain! You would’ve loved it.

[@urbanredneck968]

PS. Love that flag. One rattle for each of the 13 original states!

[@whiterook85]

Sounds great! If we could only dump a few more things in the bay these days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@michaelropelewski5337]

Love ya Tom! Thanks!

[@whiterook85]

Glad you like them! Laughed myself as I was editing.

[@randycox7892]

A great movie Berry Newman vanishing point .

[@whiterook85]

Yes, that was it, did some reading on it, they used 8 Challengers, wow that looked like a fun car to drive.

[@ericrichards7529]

A great addition to our deer camp is an " airfryer" they are a game changer for warming up leftovers and even cooking wings, dogs, potatoes, etc. Enjoy

[@whiterook85]

Would be very good to have one there. Have the PowerXL, cook up all kinds of stuff in it. Only issue would be cleaning it with no running water. Thanks!

[@ericrichards7529]

@whiterook85 well, we use those liners, help alot and only wash bi weekly. Enjoy camp!

[@whiterook85]

Will have to look for the liners, thanks.

[@billmitchell7731]

Vanishing Point.

[@whiterook85]

Yes Vanishing Point, just happened to find it a few week before camp.

[@Freedom2219]

Interesting story on the deer in the blue pot Cafe love hearing them old deer stories

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it, was a crazy snow we woke up to.

[@jimjohn1002]

😊

[@anthonybianchini3645]

Tom, - I remember that day with that deer, seeing that photo brought back good memories. I miss those days hunting with Al at Black Moshannon State Park.

[@whiterook85]

Was a fun day for sure Anthony. First time I watched Good Fellas that night on your portable DVD player. Take care, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family.

[@anthonybianchini3645]

Same to you and yours@@whiterook85

[@darrelljones3382]

Vanishing Point, great movie. Loved the Challenger

[@whiterook85]

Classic for sure. The pistol grip shifter is right on point.

[@ikespivitz5136]

Love your videos !!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you!!

[@thomasgordon489]

Rook- your vids are awesome. Great editing and best of luck with your new feline family member. My time with brothers is all about meals and stories…not the kill. Just togetherness. Same as you and Syntax and friends Hopefully your plot gets more growth and game

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Thomas, we have a great time, and don't leave feeling like we didn't have fun or accomplish anything. The harvests will come, the wood will only get better for the next few years. Take care!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Great video as always Tom! Sure would be fun to hunt in the snow; but here in TN we will see it right before spring. Sending our best to you and the fellas at camp. Merry Christmas to all!

[@whiterook85]

Hunting in snow is a whole different feel. You really have the advantage over the deer at that point. Any little movement pops right out. Hopefully you will get the chance some time. Good to talk to you yesterday.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@@whiterook85 Always good to catch up my friend. Talk soon!

[@robertgreer5229]

Love these videos and love the hunting camp! Vanishing point is the movie 🎥!

[@Freedom2219]

Gotta try the old mid day hunt

[@whiterook85]

Will do, have a new video coming out soon, will see what I have to help that.

[@alexgauthier2901]

Great video Whiterook 85. Movie question answer: Vanishing Point (1971).

[@whiterook85]

Thank you, and yes that was it.

[@jasonmausteller2488]

Like the sock over the thermos

[@whiterook85]

That sock is for a few things, I use to have both over as a back up pair in case my feet got wet. Also a nice insulator for warmth and sound.

[@gregscountrycabinoutdoors7359]

Vanishing point

[@whiterook85]

Yes, controversial then, now, would seem like a walk in the park. Enjoyed it.

[@archer7141]

The Running Man, starring Camp Cook as Dynamo. Love those 80s action movies! New flag looks great.

[@whiterook85]

Oh yeah! He is looking the part!

[@edmiesch]

That would be Vanishing Point. Saw it at the drive in also in the 70's

[@whiterook85]

Yes, was fun to relive some of those memories as I was watching it.

[@rclancy79]

Enjoyed the video like always. I think you will like the 350 Legend. I love mine! looking forward to the next video

[@whiterook85]

Had the .350 for about 5 years now, very, very nice rifle and cartridge.

[@jimzaino1211]

Great times.

Hi Tom! Another great solo video, always enjoy them! Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you and your family!

[@leannalovesmountains4949]

Oh and I loved the bloopers and sweet little Andrew!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you very much, was a nice mix of quiet time and a little time in the stand. Kind of surprised I didn't see more. Will have to work on more food on top of the mountain for them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed the bloopers, fun putting them together. Andrew says Hi!

[@s.pursell8901]

Thank you for another great video. For unfortunate reasons, I was unable to go on my hunting trip this year. And you're letting me live through yours..... except with power and a cabin, not a 24-foot Shasta camper. Lol

[@whiterook85]

Sorry to hear you didn't make it out this year, but got to tag along with us. Hope you had a few laughs along the way. One thing that camper may have that we don't, indoor pluming!

[@ejdoeseverything]

Waited to watch this until I was solo up at my own cabin. Likewise love the company but there is something recharging about being up here alone. Great video as always. Interested to see what you got for a Browning as I just switched over to a BAR in .270 after the NC hunt.

[@whiterook85]

Enjoy the time there, I spend a lot of time alone up there. You are right, feel good after being there. Going to NC will do that to you, this is the second time I switched up after being there. .270, a 99 year old cartridge,,, great minds may think a like.😎

[@ejdoeseverything]

.270 is a great round indeed@@whiterook85

[@denisamerson2858]

Happy new year eve god bless 🎇 hope you doing well 🙏 hope you got buck or doe it's ben cool

[@whiterook85]

Happy new year to you also!

[@marcusaurelius2770]

Ok, first things first - Vanishing Point. It's hard to forget that one. Thanks for taking us along on your solo trek. Hard to believe you didn't see any deer. Something worth mentioning about your chicken soup recipe. The wife and I have an Italian restaurant in town that we like to go to for their soup. They have 2 kinds every day. When asked how they make the soup so creamy and thick....you guessed it, mashed potatoes.

[@whiterook85]

Not sure how many people would remember or even know of Vanishing Point. There was a remake some years back, but I don't think I've seen it. Nothing like a little mashed potatoes for the soup, better than adding corn starch. Hope you had great Christmas with the family!

[@roberthikade9759]

Great video! LMAO

[@whiterook85]

Thanks 😆

[@ikespivitz5136]

He's a handsome fella ! Lucky to have each other . Give him a hug for us !

[@whiterook85]

Yes he is, one reason we had to go see him. And him being hurt and needed attention just made us want him more. I will certainly give him a hug for you.

[@randywolbert5443]

Vanishing point great flick.

[@whiterook85]

That's it, enjoyed re-watching after all these years.

[@allincamo]

Something about Deer camp. For the ones who never had one or hunted your missing out on some of life’s greatest moments and memories. Your camp reminds me of ours . Cheers 🍻 fellas . Happy New Year 2024 .

[@whiterook85]

Well said! There are 'hunt camps', where it's all about go out and hunt, have little fun, and most likely not enjoy yourself, and if you don't harvest a deer you go home depressed. Then there's the deer camp where you have tons of fun, eat good, have a some beverages and remember it for the rest of your days. Take care, Happy 2024 to you and yours also.

[@BobMcGranor]

Thanks for the video. I hate the Saturday opener. We all need more time at camp to relax

[@whiterook85]

Agreed about Saturday, now we have the day and a half people that go home Sunday afternoon. I can agree to starting Sunday, more camp time and hopefully get some people to hunt into the week.

[@warriorCLC]

Tom I know the deer camp feeling fortunate enough to have a place to hunt Solo or not You’re hunting with all of us buddy

[@whiterook85]

Thank you very much, I try to make it as you are there with me.

[@jamesmartin7282]

Rook, you and your crew live like kings up there! Your cooking inspires me to do fancier meals. Looks like you have an outhouse like we do. Have you done anything special in the privy to make it more comfortable?

[@whiterook85]

Yes we do, we try to fancy it up just a bit, more than just burgers and dogs. But there's nothing wrong with them either. . Privy, no, just get in, and get out as fast as you can.

[@williamuhl252]

Always appreciate the videos! For me it doesn't really matter if you guys harvest anything. You do bring back memories of my Uncle. He was an honest, ethical hunter. I'm so grateful that he has shared his love for hunting with me.

[@whiterook85]

Glad it could bring back some good memories, I too think of my Uncle that got me interested. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

[@braddavis6831]

Damn another deer camp in the books. At least it was a safe one.and i look forward as always to next year Tom. Missed sintax this year but glad to see medicine man again. Shout out to Andrew!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year guys!👍

[@whiterook85]

Seems like it takes a while to get here, then it's over. Did have some fun deer or no deer. Sintax said he will be in the area next year, hoping we can all get there at the same time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@jeffstebell3110]

Thanks Tom for the solo video!!! Something tells me the name of the movie was Vanishing Point. Probably wrong. Wishing you and Mrs Rook a very Merru Christmas!!!

[@whiterook85]

You are quite welcome. You were correct on the movie, that was it! Early 70's drive in classic. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours also.

[@NCPAOutdoors]

The flashbacks in this year's buck season vids were pretty slick and neat to see, Tom, nice job! Same with the outtakes! So much footage of ourselves flustered with something... trying to get the angle right... sound that doesn't work right... babblers in the background, hahahaha!

[@whiterook85]

Thanks, thought they would be good to throw in the video. A real difference in the quality of the images for sure. You know like I do, sometimes the cameras nice to you, sometimes its not!

[@TexasSmoking]

As a public land hunter, not seeing anything is the normal and what i expect. And in return it makes seeing something even a doe or a pig extremely exciting. Thats something guys who hunt big leases that see multiple deer and bucks a day something theyll never understand. The longest ive gone without seeing a deer on public was 2 straight weeks of hunting, but on the 15th day i shot a nice buck. Persistence and confidence is key. As always great videos tom.

[@whiterook85]

You are absolutely correct, it's a squirrel !! Congrats on your persistence, you pushed through and were able to harvest a buck. Thanks, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@jorgecayonsr2663]

I also love his videos. I feel for them. I truly believe that they need to feed year round to bring them in.

[@whiterook85]

@@jorgecayonsr2663 PA is a no bait state, so all minerals and feed have to be completely gone 30 days prior to the start of the season. So we can really only feed from March/April when we get back up to about the start of September. But we do try, as you've seen me put things out. Another issues are the bears, they will vacuum corn, etc up. They wont leave until it's all gone. We are trying, one day our buck will come in! Thanks and take care.

[@primoadventures5278]

Vanishing Point!! Great movie

[@whiterook85]

Yes that is it. Was a long time since I saw it.

[@jimmykowalski7605]

I am the biggest vanishing point fan. Barry Newman just passed away this year, I also own a white 70 challenger, another reason for me to love your videos , lol, thanks for bringing us along , my cat Douglas just died this year, he was like George from the stories you tell, I know the hurt you guys went through, but Andrew will help out, keep up the great work, !

[@whiterook85]

Well with a name like Kowalski, how could you not be. Was a really nice 70 Challenger in the movie, I do like how Dodge brought back the look. Sorry to hear about your cat Douglas, we know how you feel. You will know when you're ready for another. Take care, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@tonydentonarms4112]

No deer in upper Michigan also . I see more deer at home then I did at the camp

[@whiterook85]

Sorry to hear that, we both need a deer or two to help out next year. Take care!

[@cottrellshuntingandtrappin3016]

Liked every single minute of it buddy. The bloopers at the end were the best. Hope you all have a great Christmas and a great New Year.

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it, Merry Christmas to you and the family!

[@ErichandZachsoutdoors]

Merry Christmas Tom! Lots of great information. Great solo video this year. Nothing like wood heat! Great food and drink. Sorry the hunting wasn’t what you guys expected this year! Hopefully a good acorn crop next year will produce and keep the deer out of the bottoms! Awe cute little kitty, glad Andrew found a good home. I do believe in them spirits! Take care and I’ll see you on your next adventure brother!!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you very much, good time, good bloopers and outtakes. There's always next year, I will start on the minerals and food plots as soon as I can. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family!

[@peterchalk1192]

Tom, you make good videos, enjoyable. Someday someone will get a deer, racoon, possum or at least a woodchuck, lol. I'm just messing. I'm your age so I know what you mean about can't do it like 20 yrs ago but, still love it. I hunted 5 days in a row in ny around Thanksgiving this year and it really pooped me out. Good luck in the future.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Peter, still had a good year in North Carolina, Delaware, and lastly in Pennsylvania. Was hoping for a coyote in NC or PA, still on the bucket list. Know what you mean about tiring you out, was a good balance of hunting and relaxing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@shawnhilton7282]

I look forward to these videos thank you for sharing. Im lucky enough to spend 17 days at our camp starting the friday before bear season. This is the first year ever i didn't see a deer while hunting. The sign is there but i believe with all the hunting pressure these deer are educated by the time rifle season comes around.

[@whiterook85]

I absolutely agree with you. Not that I don't like crossbow, and I have one myself, but sorry no crossbows after Oct 15th. Too many people hunting with them during the rut. Was like in the 70's to the 90's when doe season was after the two week buck season. You would rarely see a deer.

[@RoamingOutward]

Awesome solo time.. Love the bloopers. Keep them coming..

[@whiterook85]

Thanks! Will do!

Living the dream there, have an amazing Christmas to you and your family.

[@whiterook85]

Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@denpushkar714]

Thanks for another fun and much anticipated video! So enjoyable to sit back and watch your videos. Always hoping one day we will see you a crack at a good buck. You deserve it, for sure. Ever think of cutting/trimming a nice long shooting lane from your box stand? I had two cut from mine, and its amazing how the deer would filter on to it during the day to nibble on the grass and clover. Oh, and we could almost smell those wings re-heating!! Merry Christmas to you, the Mrs and that new cat!

[@whiterook85]

Have a good lane on the right side, planted grass and clover on it. If the the opener was Monday I would have brought the leaf blower and cleared it, didn't think I should since the season opened the following morning. Thanks, enjoyed the leftovers also, nice and quick to get ready and still great. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also. Andrew says Hi too.

[@mikeryan240]

Nothing better than sitting in deer stand drinking coffee while it snows!!!!

[@whiterook85]

You are right about that. Those days that I got in a climbing tree stand and stayed all day, that coffee was the best I ever had.

[@just-one-moreoutdoors557]

Loved the solo edition especially the bloopers 😂 made me go back and watch the 2013 deer camp again and made me miss the Monday start more, guess I’m just getting older and more sentimental.

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it, had fun putting those together, next year 2014 and 24! And yes, I do miss the Monday opener. It is pushing too many to weekend only and that's it.

[@josephruggieri7463]

Always nice to see the “calm before the storm” until the guys join you, great video, enjoy the new companions.

[@whiterook85]

You got that right! It was the calm, but I enjoy the storm also, lots of laughs. Thanks for nod to the new cats.

[@reedmitchell6716]

Solo trip is a Great time for You to sit back and remember all the Great times with the Crew. We also had a Great Season up Forest County. Cousin got a nice 8 point. I got a plump doe for jerky. 2 other members also took does. Enjoy all your trips and Thank You for all your efforts to share them all these years.

Thanks 👍Andrew is helping the Mrs. and myself for sure. He does so many things that George use to do, where his companion cats do not. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@ericandersen9526]

Sudden Impact was the name of that movie… and I enjoy the deer camp videos you turn out Tom…brings back my early years of memories here in Northern Michigan..at 71 ..I hunt alone now ..most people I hunted with in years past are gone now…so you and the guys are very fortunate to have each other to hunt with.. and tell stories..

[@whiterook85]

Not the right movie, about 10-13 years earlier. Glad you still have your fond memories to keep with you while your in the woods. Your friends are there with you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@Nyet103]

Mr.Rook,you ever consider writing a book about the camp?I know i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@jeffkillian6055]

Vanishing point I believe the movie was. I was in high school at the time. Deer Camp has been part of my life as long as I can remember.heck I think I was probably conceived at the cabin. Lycoming county Pennsylvania our cabin is located.

[@whiterook85]

That was the one, brought back some memories of hanging with the high school buddies watching that. Lucky your name isn't Buck.

[@ronosmianski812]

Hey Tom! You do a great job of keeping busy and enjoying your solo time at camp. I enjoy seeing the items for your wall in the Blue Pot area. I also very much enjoyed the story of the deer and the mix and match antlers. I have only taken a 20-inch rainbow trout to be mounted. No fill in antlers, but what is hanging on my wall is not much original but the skin, or so I have been told. But the man did a fine job. I'm glad you found a new cat. I've had lots of cats around the barn, but it's not the same as a constant companion in the house. I needed the cats to try to keep the critters out of the horse feed, etc. I think the coyotes eventually got them when I got rid of my horses. Even the neighbors' small dogs disappeared!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you very much, it was just one of those things I still don't understand why I said yes, but it is what it is. A coyote is definitely on my list. I've seen a few of the hide mounts, one or two would look great on the cabin wall. Thanks again, take care!

[@TypicalOldDude]

Another great video Rook. Absolutely loved the “Bloopers.” No one realizes how much editing and work it is to make these videos until you try it yourself. Looking forward to the next one and keep up the good work!

[@whiterook85]

Much appreciated!

[@ianmccutcheon6319]

Hi Tom....always great to see you at the cabin deer or no deer. It always puts me in a good frame of mind . Makes me want to head to the farm and get outdoors as well. Congrats on your 5pt Delaware buck and for giving us the back story on the Wall Mount buck at the cabin. Food looked very good as always . That's a nice looking rifle your .350 Legend. Can't wait to see your new rifle when the time comes. Andrew is so lucky to have found a wonderful home. The bloopers -- " 3 keys only 3 keys , 3 keys ..bleep . lol lol The movie Vanishing Point I have in my collection. One of my favorites from that era. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ! Stay safe and keep'em RITP's !

[@whiterook85]

Ian, was good to be there regardless of the deer activity. They all migrated to the bottom of the mountain where they could eat the green grasses on peoples lawns. Good time putting the bloopers together, laughed myself as I was editing. Yes, Vanishing Point, for some reason I thought of it a few months back, and it popped up at the local thrift store. Funny that the 'mini bike' girl rides better then her male companion. Don't think I ever noticed it before now for some strange reason. Merry Christmas to you also, and Happy New Year! Will see 2024 could be the year! RITPs!!

[@stevek4727]

Hey Tom, I love your Solo segments! Thanks for adding the Fire Service to the wall. As a retired Fire Captain from NJ, I appreciate that. Remembering all that have served, in the Military and in Public Safety, is important. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Solo time is the perfect compliment to Group time. They are both great in their own way. Wishing you and the family a Merry & Blessed Christmas!!

Sorry you had no luck hunting, but I'm sure you had a great time anyway. The cabin has evolved into the perfect getaway. Enjoyed the blooper clips and welcome Andrew. Keep the other two also, cats like friends.

Regardless if you're alone or not, being up at camp is priceless. Hunting a little in the morning, then a break is the way to go Tom. My NJ 6 day was good but of course I missed 😢 ! 18 bucks we hung on our rack. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@whiterook85]

Thanks Matthew, hope you had a great time there also. It's different but fun in it's own way. Shower up, oh I wish I had one, wash up, warm water up, I did wash my hair over the trash can, with an empty bag inside so I could dump it out. Best I can do there. No flintlock for me, I have another Delaware season if I want to head back out again.

Hello Tom! Thank you for sharing, and for telling us about Andrew! He is so cute, and his buddies are adorable! We are so glad Andrew has brought joy into your home! Thank you for honoring the Fire Depart and the Sheriffs. The Gadsden Flag is a perfect touch to the cabin! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@whiterook85]

Thank you so much we appreciate it, Andrew has brought a lot of love into the house when we really needed it. It is really my honor to pay tribute to those that do so much for us and seem to be shunned these days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours also.

Congrats on adding Andrew to your household, Tom. We lost our cat Barley in 2016. Almost a year later, my wife noticed a kitten at our back door dragging his leg behind him. Then I discovered he had a brother who was hiding in the flowers nearby. It took me two days to trap them, but I finally was successful. The first kitten turned out to have a broken pelvis (vet thinks he might have shown up at the wrong back door and got booted). Long story short, we adopted both. They survived by sticking together, so there was no way we were going to leave a man behind. Ocho's hip healed up just fine (he's asleep on my legs as I type this), and he and brother Smudge are living the good life.

[@jasonedwards4174]

[@whiterook85]

Eric had one, he saw some, but was never presented with a good shot.

[@claymcbunch1013]

You would look really cool in a fur trapper hat

[@whiterook85]

I may have one, the morning it got down to 18 I should have had it on.

[@ronaldbeatty9423]

What part of PA You hunting. I used to live in Bedford County

[@whiterook85]

That's Tioga county, outside of Wellsboro.

Waited for a vid...must apologize for the negative comments on the chairman. Sorry little buddy. Honestly

[@whiterook85]

He is a normal guy, when the camera rolls he knows. All good sir.

[@johnconvry3065]

U need some windows that u can slide or flip up.

[@whiterook85]

Considering putting them in, but even at 18 degrees I was pretty comfortable.

[@waynebarnett7467]

Far from me to tell you how to cook ….. But I think the chicken is done !!!! Lol. Thanks for the laughs as I sit here recovering from Covid.

[@whiterook85]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes that chicken was a little,,,, ok it was up in flames! Take care and get well soon!

[@alcantrell5340]

Is that the wind moving your blind around or is it just your camera moving around while you’re in the blind ?

[@whiterook85]

That's just me holding the camera. It is rock solid.

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

It was a good video. i look at deer hunting like rolling the dice and trying to hit snake eyes sometimes you hit it on the first roll and most of the time it takes a lot of rolls. for me it took twenty-three rolls of the dice to hit snake eyes this year. so i just go hunting and roll the dice that's all you can do. but as for not seeing many deers i have seen it change a lot over the years and i think the reason is the insurance companys are lobbing the gova mint to let more deers get killed to lower the deer auto accidents. now the movie we went to see it at the movie theater because we heard there was a girl topless in one of the scenes and it turned out to be a cool car movie.

[@whiterook85]

You are right about the insurance companies, they really did some lobbing in the early 2000s that led to a lot of does being allocated. Gone are the days that I would see a pack of 15 or 20 in the woods. Yes that is it (the movie), enjoyed it, funny that the naked girl can ride a bike better than the guy. Thanks George, Happy Holidays!

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

That is why i do not shoot doe or young bucks i am not hunting for the insurance company's if you kill a doe you are killing five to ten bucks. if we wont are hunting heritage back we have to take matters into are on hand and not the dnr or the insurance company's hands. the state you are hunting used to be one of the best states to hunt. you and your friends should have had nice bucks hanging from the meat pole but you had nothing. so you have to ask yourself is it something we are doing wrong, or have we been screwed i think we have all been screwed. @@whiterook85

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

The movie got me thinking my brother had seen the movie when he came home from his second tour in Vietnam and had to have a challenger and the only one he could find was a convertible RT 440 orange with a white top and white interior, so he brought it. the movie helped sell a lot of the Challengers and they were hard to get new. but he did not like the convertible so he traded it in on a boss 351 ram air mustang they were both cars, but the challenger would smoke the tires better. i was thirteen fourteen at the time and would have loved to have either one. the challenger today would be worth a lot of money. @@whiterook85 a

I really enjoy your videos. IMO too many antler-less tags are being given out in PA. Just my opinion. And the Chairman’s Farts

[@charlie21gunner87]

If you are a Vet., live in the country, like to hunt, and work for your family... I'm not sure how you could even consider voting democrat. Not trying to start crap, just the way it is, big cities love socialism.

[@whiterook85]

Trust me, I am a lot more conservative than liberal, but if you had to write your views down on paper I wouldn't quality for either party. I can proudly say after living in Delaware for 35+ years I never voted for anyone named Biden. Take care!

[@charlie21gunner87]

@@whiterook85 I hear you friend, love your channel, and I wish you and yours' a Merry Christmas.
