THE FIRST WEEK OF DEER CAMP - UPPER MICHIGAN

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

TO PURCHASE FUN DEER CAMP STUFF - amzn.to/3x7oVe7

[@donadams9755]

There's something really special about a U.P. deer camp. I was fortunate to be invited to one for 20 years. Great times with great people.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Right on

[@tylerhiltner4940]

I’m 5 mins into the video and I already want to be at deer camp with this group!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

thanks for that

[@kevinthorrington2131]

I was born and raised a yooper now living away from Michigan. I guess I’m called a transplanted yooper. I miss deer hunting in the UP, I have many good family memories of hunting as a kid. Nice to see family/friend memories being made. 4 years to go before I retire, can’t wait to get back hunting in the U.P. Great video!!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks so much! The U.P. misses you too!

[@RWS73]

I don't think I've ever witnessed somebody bathe that much at camp, LOL! Congrats on your buck! We start tomorrow, in PA. Really enjoy all of your videos!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks and good hunting for the opener.

[@ethanladue2745]

Can’t be making the camp smell lol

[@TheTrevelyansway]

Some people enjoy different luxuries at camp than others. A friend of mine belongs to a camp where they kept their open fireplace. No wood stove insert. Did have an LPG wall heater to help. Choices. What

[@BluePiggy97]

Little piece of heaven you got there Dave. Ultimate peace.....

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes, I'm very blessed.

[@michaelwinzloff1414]

Once again nice to see you guy's at camp for the first week of deer season. Congratulations Gary and David for your successful hunts. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Especially us hunters that after 49 consecutive deer seasons in the UP no longer have a place to call home any more. Congrats and looking forward to seeing more adventures from the 3Point. 🦌🦌

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!

[@travishat8760]

Awesome to capture your buck harvest on camera. Spotted Cow (or 2) was well earned

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Sometimes it all comes together. That cow tasted great.

[@Shamustodd1]

Nice buck and nice to see three generations and friends at the camp. Reminds me of when I was a kid going to deer camp with my uncles and cousins. At night after the evening hunt friends would often show up for a beer or two and cards. I miss those days for sure but nice to see families still carrying on with the Michigan deer camp tradition.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

We had a great time.

I hope opening day was good to everyone yesterday! I have lived out in north Idaho for 10 years now and miss hunting back home in Michigan. I get drawn back to hunting camp videos every opening day. We were suppose to move back to the Ontonagon area this year but had to put it off for another year,

[@travisvanalst4698]

Only differences between our camp in Rapid River, MI and yours is you bathe way more! And we have a strict no phone’s policy. We keep them in a lock box and we get three times a day to check them a day. Other than that it’s much of the same! Beautiful camp you got there.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Cool phone rules! Deer camp is awesome right? Thanks for watching.

[@amatzek]

Congratulations! Thanks for always sharing your hunting adventures with us.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's my pleasure to share this stuff with you guys!

[@hodagtrapper4167]

So many parallels between your camp and the camp I hunted at in far northern Wisconsin for the first time this year. 4 guys at the camp and a traditional wood fired sauna to boot. Very nice harvest of the 8 pointer and a bonus to have filmed it as well. The old heavy horned swamp buck I shot the third day of season at noon snuck in from the left at 75 yards but only offered a quartering towards my stand shot. Placed a 30-06 bullet through the shoulder and he dropped like a ton of bricks and never moved. The camp attendees were similiar aged as yours except nobody was under 58. I guess years back it was common for the camp crew to head into town until the wee hours of night but that never happened this year as bedtime at 9:30 was the norm. Many blessings and a safe hunt is a good hunt. God Bless from Hodag Land.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Very cool. We don't leave the camp in the evening either. No reason to, although we do stay up 11:00 or 12:00 some nights!

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

Thanks again for a trip to a true U P deer camp and congrats on that nice buck! It was fun to see Gary at camp. He used to live close to me and we went to GHS back in the 60's.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes! Gary mentioned he grew up in the Carlshend area. Gary is my buddy Scott's step-dad. It was a fun deer season and that buck was the icing on the cake.

[@jimmyhoffa7935]

Smoked that buck right in its tracks👍 sweet! Good times, good friends.

Not being annoyed by the camera and seeing the guys in their natural state makes for a great video👍 nothing like deer camp

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for the support!

[@ToniAtwood]

liked your video, brought back many memories, my dad started going to the up a few years before the bridge got built and used to have to take the ferry, we went about 15 miles from rapid river, either in a tent, camper, motor home, and usua;;y had a squad tent for cooking and hanging out, lost my dad back in 2003 and have only been back to the up once to hunt since then,, he always got things together and organized everything and was the camp cook. thanks again for sparking the memories

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

You are so welcome! That might be the best part of doing these videos - hearing the stuff it reminds people of. Thanks for sharing.

[@chadskoien32]

I take my hat off to u guys who hunt the u.p. an northern WI with all the wolves an legal baiting it has gotten much harder then 20-30 yrs ago I hunt southern Wisconsin green an Lafayette counties for last 32 years an according to my father who is 76 years young I have been spoiled by good private farmland all my life he still remembers hunting all season an happy to see 1 deer. You guys have a great camp an tradition like many others including myself with our 7 man camp. Keep making those memories cause in the end they are all we have. Great video

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for that comment and thanks for watching!

[@tymesho]

Done right, all the day's of prep work thru the summer, and you can't think of anything that STILL needs to be done, the "day before season" is about as special as opening day. Our cabin south of Baraga County becomes heaven. We gear-up two days before, and spend this day doing NOTHING but eat, fellowship, and relax taking everything in. You feel so,... I guess the word is "settled"? Hard to explain, but I long for this day EVERY YEAR!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It really is great to have that day or two before you start hunting right! The hunt is awesome but it's fun to stay up a little later and maybe a few more drinks and not have to get up early!

[@robert-hg5jy]

You brought back lots of memories of my pa deer camp and of the friends and family i😅 shared it with. Sold it two years ago but the memories of times spent there will never be forgotten. Your comments at the end not the video were right on the money. Bob, from long island NY. Semper Fi

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for the comment! That might be the best part about making these videos, I get a lot of comments similar to yours. It's a privilege to help remind viewers of their experiences. Thank you.

[@grdelawter4266]

I really love the name of your channel! Even though I’m only 25% into this video. It reminds me of the great ole days where being in deer camp was the prize! Hope you get a deer too! I’m not saying hunting is not the focus, I’m saying friendship is the bullseye! Commonality is the cause, and taking the time to intentionally connect with your friends and family is the greatest subliminal connection we may ever have! 3 cheers for you and your co-hunters! I admire you for the effort you take to make this happen! I recently saw the video of you and your wife come up in the summer and do work to prepare for the upcoming season! I admire you for the extraordinary lengths that you go to to make this deer camp happen! One night, I hope to share a campfire with you! I have so many wonderful compliments to bestow on you for what you do. You are an extraordinary man! You are the harbinger/carrier of the old ways!

[@ForgetU]

Very nice reply.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's definitely a team effort to have everything come together and enjoy a week out at deer camp. Thanks for the kind words.

[@countrymule9623]

I've spent a little time in the woods in my sixty plus years. Some of those stays were in not so nice accommodations and some that were fairly nice. That's comparing those to the not so nice. Now a deer camp with a sauna, couch and a table with that unforgettable lamp. Now that's five star living there! I would make a trip out to the woods and stay there for weeks before going on a cruise in a heartbeat. Nice setup you've got there. Thanks for the hard work behind this video for all of us to enjoy. Y'all stay safe!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It is 5-star no doubt, we love it. Thanks for the feedback.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks so much for the support Ben. And yes, you gotta love those cudighis. Happy to bring a little of the UP back to you!

[@GregorsOutdoors]

North Carolina hunter here. I was fascinated with your deer camp with all the snow and the old buck pole. There are not many places like yours down south that can duplicate your conditions and that kind of off-the-grid camp. I'm sure someone will correct me, but they can't have the nice snow! Keep up the good work and congrats on your fine bucks taken! Heck, even the hot dogs looked good to me.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

We had fun.

[@Doug-rp5ik]

Nice camp. I had a friend from Michigan that passed a few years back, we met by chance and became best buddies. He had a passion for deer hunting like we do here in Texas, he hunted my property and leases for years, and he killed some really nice bucks, I would even pay for his nonresident license some years. I think about my old friend all the time, especially when it gets close to deer season. When we had a lease in the Texas hill country, he would say that he would see more deer in one morning’s hunt than he would in a couple of years hunting in Michigan. He lived on lake intermediate.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

You guys do got it going on in Texas. Sounds like he had a great friend in you.

[@Norton-67]

Here in Wisconsin at our Deer camp, We clear out under our venison pole, that way one person can load a deer by backing right under the deer,then let it down..save your back..just a idea..

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes, we have kind of a hole near our pole. We always talk about filling it in so we can do just that.

[@johnsabat3553]

Great video thanks for sharing. It's great to go to camp my family used to have a camp but all the original members have passed, I used to really enjoy going. Congrats on the Bucks!! Here in Pa. Our rifle deer season starts tomorrow.

[@safarijoesadventures]

Congratulations Dave. Nice looking deer. I don’t know if that feeling ever goes away. I could hear it in you when you got that deer. Just the sheer excitement ,and raised heart rate it happens every time. I could feel it watching the video and I wasn’t even there lol. I can’t wait till I get my hunting camp set up right and do a little white tail and possibly bear hunting up there in the UP. On a sidenote, I did order a Barnett XP 385 crossbow package with the crank cocking device from Cabelas on their Black Friday deal it was $299.97. It just got here today so I’m gonna put it together and see if I can get it sighted in. Again congratulations.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

I was excited. I didn't use the Barnett much this fall. Bow hunting just didn't work out for me, but so far I like it and it sounds like you got a good deal. I bet your giddy about getting to that new camp next spring!

[@safarijoesadventures]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors yes I am very excited to get there and start working on it. I only explored the property for a few minutes while I was up there working. When I go up there in the spring I’m going to spend a little more time exploring the property for decent places to put a blind or two. Again, congratulations on that nice deer.

[@fatfred1234]

Nice video and nice buck. As a fellow michigander I love to go up hunting with my brother and my dad. Unfortunately this was the third year I didn't get to go due to medical issues that have hit pause on my life these past 3 hunt seasons . But lucky enough I ended my last time hunting on a good note and got a nice 8pt. Hopefully I will be able to go next year . I don't mind when I go if I don't get one I just enjoy the bonding time and just being able to sit out in nature in peace a quite and watch all the wildlife. When a nice buck walks out tho the adrenaline rush is amazing tho. So thanks for the video it made me feel like I was in the blind with my heart rate Goin up with excitement.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for that comment, sorry so late with the reply. I'm very humbled that our video can give that excitement. Thanks again for sharing that.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks a lot! It was exciting.

[@Doug-rp5ik]

I love the bucks yall have on the wall, when I first started hurting, and size buck was a trophy, that’s when hunting was fun. I own three properties, two are in antler restricted counties, we pass on some good deer, my grandkids grew up hunting antler restrictions, now they pass buck’s in non antler restrictions counties, that I would have been on cloud nine with.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's not easy to find bigger bucks in the snow belt of Michigan's Upper Peninsula where I hunt. Some of the really bad years I wouldn't even get a picture on game cameras of a buck I could shoot, let alone see one hunting. Even the most skilled hunters (not me) with the best equipment can't make bucks appear that don't exist.

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

very nice buck congrats on getting him. looks like you had a decent amount of snow. we didn't have any it went all around us. yes we get bucks on camera that we never see, also get them during the day on the day before the opener not see them again.

My last hunting lic. In NJ is 1974. Been going up to crotch lake, ont can since 1973 and currently my friend rich owns an island cabin on crotch lake. Will be 78 this coming feb, got a couple of years in rich. I go up with him in Aug or Sept for 8 or 9 days. Yes it's about an 8 1/2 hour ride from NJ and of course the subject of how long we can still come up is talked about. I'm a bypass guy and 2 years ago got a new left knee. Rich looks like he may be facing knee replacement shorty along with back problems. He is talking about that time to sell the island may be coming up. So yes each year marks another year older and man they go bye too fast. Your mentioning that Dave just reminds me about where has the time gone. Hopefully we have a few years left. Fish salt water here in NJ on my boat and have a few friends help me run the boat for the day. Trailer it from home to the ramp. Ok well wishing you and your family happy and healthy holidays and thanks for sharing your time up at the camp. I gave a feeling no weight was lost at deer camp this year. Take care ..... Walt

Loved the "cow", the food, the comradery and the good camp hygiene. Happy Holidays my friend and thanks for the video! Great buck!

Thanks Mark. Yes I believe that was the buck I shot. Never had a day time pic of it at that blind until I harvested it. It was a fun deer season.

My wife walked through the Living Room and asked who that guy was taking a shower. I said, “that’s Dave Knetter!” like she was supposed to know or something. She stared at me for a few seconds and continued on her way. To quote Thin Lizzy - if that chick don’t wanna know, forget her!

I love hearing these stories and also, "THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!"

Dads story about knocking the door off the truck was the best

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

We all got a kick out of that one.

My hunts in jeopardy this year. Camp already set up, just my truck is dead. Atv and my gear all loaded up, I stripped out a spark plug hole. Hands are kinda numb these days, doubtful I'm pulling off a tap job myself. Would be first time on new 40, first private land hunt in 20 years, first ever hunt with my older half brother. Good luck this year fellas.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Wow, that stinks! Hope you can find a different vehicle or catch a ride with someone.

Thanks, got the chev back up and running. Enlisted my wife's dexterity, she got a new plug in! Saved the day for sure. 2023 is a go.
