THE TENT. Deer Camp 2023, "The Movie." No kids yet. No deer. Grouse Camp? Still a great time.

The first 6 days at Deer Camp 2023. The wolves have decimated the deer. Lots of scouting looking for deer sign. The grouse are plentiful. Great time at The Tent and plenty of Tent cooking. Stay tuned for then rest of the 2023 deer season.

[@maryreynolds5310]

So relaxing watching your videos…Thank you!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Mary.

[@AryanDiablo]

Always look forward to these longer tent videos 👍

[@Youngone-mb1yc]

I just love watching you feed the birds! It’s amazing how they always show up. Like they were waiting for you to come back.

[@paulcoenen7918]

Those Grey Jay's are so friendly, it's just weird but they are awesome and I love the Suttle peeps they make.

[@ethanladue2745]

Favorite time of the year. Thank you very much for your continued effort you put into your videos. I wish you all the best

[@damoose1829]

Perfect timing. It is Thursday eve now and I am leaving Saturday Morning for my cabin for a 10 day hunt with my family and friends. 5 to 8 people every day. Can't wait. GL & HH

[@johnl8996]

It's been said before and I will say it again: The five best words you can hear are "Hello everyone, and welcome back!". A big hearty thanks from all of us out there to you, Joe, for everything you do when it comes to your videos. Here's to a safe hunting season for all. :)

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you John. I appreciate it.

[@rogerstewart4840]

Time with the family is what matters most. Grouse 2024👍

[@s.pursell8901]

It's going to take me a few days to watch this. But soooooo worth it. Thanks Joe, hoping you each got one.

[@marygordon3032]

Hey Joe my family really enjoy seeing the tent videos, and my husband says that the wolves are probably the problem in that area. We miss seeing Zach and Sarah , thanks for sharing your great videos! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@GSD1963]

Woohoo favorite video of the year. Edit … what a treasure your dad is .

[@jamestoth1256]

Sorry for the wolf problems. All off us hunters need to put pressure on the feds and the game and fish. Great video Joe love your channel.

[@MrLangDog]

"It was 40 degrees now it's in the 39's " 🤣 That line almost had me spiting coffee :) I always enjoy the "vicarious" solitude of the tent videos. So different than my daily routine of keeping 160 teenagers in line at school. Cheers!!

[@robertfarwell7076]

Always great to watch your hunting videos at the tent thanks Joe.

[@paulolson6309]

Agree with you 100% on the wolves. We hunt around Leech/Winnie and I’ve been out almost every night. Only two fawns the whole season. I know quite a few people around the area who haven’t even seen a deer this year. Politics never should of gotten into wolf management. They need to have population control, just like every other animal. Idiots in the city making decisions for up here. Pisses me right off! Makes me wonder how long people will keep the tradition going if they don’t shoot any deer.

[@jeremystudinski1180]

Your comment is spot on!

[@dgr5545]

Same here in the UP of Michigan. It's ridiculous.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

The frustration is real but we can not blame the city or even Minnesota. The DNR can do nothing. President Trump took them off the endangered list and Biden put them back on.They are protected Federally. "Pisses me right off" is a good way of explaining it.

[@philalban6444]

Trump's admin took them off federal protection in 2020. District judge in CA put them back on 2/10/2022. Bidens dept of justice filed suit to take them off again (agreeing with the 2020 delisting). It has been in court/mediation since then. My northern MN hunt saw plenty of moose sign, some deer sign and no wolf sign. Our area is more influenced by periodic logging. Our old stomping grounds have completely grown over which caused the deer to find their food sources elsewhere.

[@mackstraight1109]

America is soft, no other way to put it. My deer camp is in northern Wisconsin and it’s just sad to see the deer population decline every year. THEY NEED TO OPEN A WOLF SEASON EVERY YEAR. Only way to save good deer hunting.

[@shawni321]

Deer or not, grouse or not, clear skies or not...there is always a good time to be had at The Tent. (A long-time follower) Enjoyed the video, TYFS.

[@dustyolliff4387]

It's just not deer camp without "Sarah, time to wakeup!!!!"

[@stonemtnrubicon]

University of Minnesota had a write up saying the clear cutting an the wolf's are killing the whitetail deer off..

[@stonemtnrubicon]

I would tell fish an game if we can't have deer how bout a moose tag..cause u see more of them than deer..there's probably some around but they r run to death by packs of wolf's

[@mayncameron1169]

Hello Joe hope yall get your big buck during deer hunting season all the best to you... I'm from Manitoba Canada👍🏻☕️🦌

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Thanks joe for taking the time to make these videos we all can enjoy.

[@1989Falkor]

Escanaba in da moonlight would be a good addition to your DVD collection. Hilarious deer camp movie!

[@matthewcarello9280]

I love all the deer movies, the one a few years back when Zack and the girls were there was great!!!!! That was my favorite yet!

[@TheFossil999]

Thank you Joe, another year and another great deer movie,

[@kartracer5g229]

Always get excited to see the yearly deer season opener video pop up... it is always what I need to get me by for one more week til it opens up here in Pennsylvania.. it's so odd not seeing at least Sara there for the first couple days and to hear you say Sara it's time to wake up 4 or 5 times to her but times change lol...

[@Buckshot864]

Packin up now to head home from NC to NY for the deer camp opener for 10 days. Thanks for helping me kill 2 hrs worth of driving. Can’t wait to get on the road and watch in full. Good luck all🦌🦌🦌

[@jamesdavis4124]

Even though no deer were seen it was a good video, thanks 👍

[@springwalden451]

Thanks Joe for sharing these videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. Feels like I'm right there with y'all 😊

[@craigwavra3495]

Always look forward to the Deer Camp video. It’s all the tradition that comes with it!! Sorry to hear about no deer signs. Been hearing this all thru the northern half of the state.

[@kerrys8024]

Another great video great to see at the tent , lots of grouse for the freezer . Here in ND we have chronic waist disease, it’s horrible

[@suzisaintjames]

Cool here today 75/62f, in sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵supposed to rain tonight. First rain since September 13th. Sending lots of love 💖. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

[@CMoore8539]

Awesome Video Joe!!!👍♥️

[@audsmithl]

Hi Joe. Another great video. I was thinking, perhaps you should start a tent recipe book (instead of the post-it notes), much like your tent diary book. It would be a nice keepsake for future generations in your family to look back on to see what you cooked at the tent. Love these cozy winter tent videos.

[@mrmrswright8250]

My dad and i use to hunt deer in Presque Isle Wisconsin just being in camp was great. Stay safe and God bless 🦃🦌

[@funfreedomadventuresinlife6100]

Hahaha Joe, my wife and I peed ourselves lugging when you were watching your own bread making video and you said “this guys talks too much”. Bahahahaha hilarious. Been watching you for a decade. Always enjoyable.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Haha. Thank you, Awesome comment. I thank both you and your wife for watching. Now go do laundry and put on some clean undies. Lol.

[@rosepederson166]

Love your videos...I watch every Saturday

[@HumbleVoyager]

I enjoyed that very much. Thanks, Joe!

[@sutdave1]

Always enjoy your videos especially deer camp. I sure wish your Wildlife Resources folks would get orgainized and start managing the game in your state. Control those predators! Growing up we had lots of grouse and quail here in Virginia now you hardly ever see them but we have plenty of deer and turkeys. In my opinion Grouse is some of the best table fare in the woods.

[@bribri4830]

I live by minnesota river bottom and first day deer hunting seen 9 all in bean fields. Not as many hunters this year as last year and I think the winter we had did a number on the deer. Love all the videos

[@Wfwi]

Always love these Deer Season videos. Getting me hyped for Wisconsins opener this weekend.

[@bigguy_TCM]

Bought a bread machine a month ago and been forgetting to set it up 😂 thanks to your video I got some bread going lol

[@danjennings6817]

We have a similar issue with the coyotes here in north Jersey. Been hunting 53 years and the population has gone downhill. We have a season to hunt them but don’t seem to many hunters try to help correct the issue. Don’t give up your tradition for any reason Joe. You will still find them. Good luck and I will be watching your vids. Thanks

[@rugermossberg9221]

Hello from West Fargo ND. Wife and I always love your videos. If DNR opens up Wolf Hunting , next year could be called Wolf Camp...lol

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Haha. I would participate in that for sure. Thank you for watching the videos. Please say hello to your wife as well.

[@12Daze]

Always love these videos this time of year! Deer or no deer. The wolves up there seem to have taken over. It's like the hawks and seagulls here (Northern NH). We haven't had a single pigeon in this city in decades. I remember the pigeon population was insane when I was a kid. Now, the hawks and seagulls took over.

[@bigtim7627]

I will give you guys your credit. You are sticking it out season after season.

[@backwoodshunter.2439]

I have a friend who has deer hunted northern Minnesota every year for the last 15 years. This was the first year where he didn’t even see any deer sign up there. No pictures on trail cam, no tracks, no droppings. Nothing. Tons of wolf sign though. Until the DNR does something about the wolfs, I’m afraid deer hunting will be worthless in that area

[@davidoutdoors74]

Yes Ive been waiting for your video. My season here in Upstate Ny starts this weekend.

[@bradm4493]

What timing! Just got settled into my camp for deer camp in northern WI!

[@hmnsafun]

Joe I have a camp on the river in south Louisiana and the memories I bring back home from the camp is way I live a lifestyle that does not require me to take a vacation.

[@rogerpultz5597]

Awesome video Joe 👍👍 Really enjoyed it. No deer but a good time 👍

[@batboylives]

Too many fires this year in our area, lots of cabins gone. Including ours unfortunately but no lives lost and that's more important. (Northern, Ontario Canda)

[@TboneR-jy5sp]

Hey Joe, I've enjoyed your channel for many years now. I know people ask this and I've seen your response to this question, however i have to ask. Given the terrible wolf problem you have (ours in northern Wisconsin is getting just as bad) why not harvest a deer on your home property for some great eating? With all due respect, rock on Joe

[@bmk506]

I was begining to wonder....opening day is saturday and i cant hunt without this video lol

[@jimsteele7108]

Glad to see you still have your dad with you, Joe.

[@backcountrypipe]

Enjoyed every minute of the video. Missed a little of the excitement and anticipation that comes with Zach and Sarah being at the tent but certainly one of my favorite videos of the year along with duck camp. That really sucks about the wolves, hopefully they can get something figured out. Perhaps a bounty on them like they did here with coyotes. Regards Mark

[@Haul84]

Looked like a great time! Good ole grouse camp.

[@jaredpeterson380]

I ran into 3 grouse standing by a puddle while deer hunting by Ely. 2 ruffled and a spruce. I started to walk around them when one spooked and ran into another. That started a pretty funny grouse fight. I was literally 3 ft away. They acted like I wasn't there.

[@mikerogers4885]

Great video, enjoyed it. I really feel for you on the lack of deer. It makes for a real frustrating time. We have not seen any at our cabin since early summer. I am blaming it on the wolf population we have here in South central Wisconsin. Good luck next weekend!

[@duaneblaisdell6345]

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

I do believe with the addition of the heater the oil thawed out quicker this deer camp. Going to buy two of these for my camp in the UP, one for the cabin and one for the privy.

Love your videos Joe especially the duck and deer camp. Also looking fwd to the ice fishing videos

[@tomquinsler4227]

That heater might help get enough warm air into the bedroom so that you can get a good nights sleep on the first night. I find when we get up to our place in the mountains during the winter, the mattress doesn't have a chance to warm up until the second night and it's like sleeping on ice the first night.

We have a very awesome electric "sheet" not blanket because it is under us. That bed is as hot as you want it.

[@ldirk58601]

Even just some stories about hunting/camping/fishing with your dad/parents. It's obvious you learned a lot from them and it's neat to hear stories of days gone by. Especially when we kind of know the characters and at least what they look like. I loved this video and wish I had been watching you all along. Ive only been watching for probably four years or so but I can tell I have missed a lot.

[@billmitchell7731]

Yes that would be awesome to see them all together 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻FAMILY 👍🏻❤

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I would but just like me, my Dad enjoys his time alone. I do not think staying over there for a few days would be something he would want but he does have stories that are amazing and he remembers so much detail. I would love to have them documented.

[@davidlargen31]

​@@JoeandZachSurvivalMaybe he would sit down with you privately and talked about old stories and recorded them and then later you put in to words. With his permission of course. Have some video back drop pre filmed of the Fire pit, lake view or what ever so you can do at home or camp and release them once a month 1 story at a time and name it something Joes story time...

I can remember many mornings at my grandmothers house and she would be skinning a rabbit or a squirrel. I don't know if my grandfather hunted deer. Their house was small for today's standards and there was no other buildings on the property but a half garage. Not much in the way of cold storage.

If you keep a large volume of sourdough starter, you can avoid the initial levain, just feed the starter early and add the weight of starter, makes the process much faster and works well. I make bread, bagels, and soft pretzels.
