THE TENT. Deer Camp? Grouse Camp? Exploring Camp? 2024. "The Movie" Storm damage, trees down.

[@EMERYE77]

Every year it amazes me how some folks don’t understand deer camp. It is not all about killing deer. It is about tradition and family. Harvesting a nice buck is just a bonus. I’m sure that Joe can afford a membership in a hunting club or to go on a fancy paid hunt if he wanted to. Hell he could shoot deer from his backyard. I feel sorry for those of you that don’t understand.

[@Doug-rp5ik]

I own my own ranches here in Texas, we use to hunt like they do, if we would take a buck you were happy, no matter the size, now everyone is so management minded, it takes a lot of the fun out of it, especially when someone says why did you shoot that buck, it too young/small. Two of my ranches are in AR counties, one is not. I enjoy this channel the most , cooking good food, hunting with family and friends is what it’s all about. I too could afford these “trophy “ bucks we have in Texas, but it’s just not real to me. I have camp houses on two of my places and I live on one, I’m always the cook. Good luck , stay safe and keep these videos coming.

[@leolldankology]

There are no deer in Minnesota.

[@paulfedorisin908]

You have to be one who goes to deer camp every year. When it's the season I can't help but want to be at camp. Like you said, it goes well beyond the hunt. It is the camp lifestyle that draws us.

[@cameronbunn4056]

Love the videos, hope you continue to do it for as long as possible. Hope to have a deer camp in the future… Keep at it, deer will come your way. I’m in PA I spent the first 8 years without getting a shot at a deer

[@Doug-rp5ik]

I just can’t get enough of these videos, I’m watching on my big screen, I watch all the oldies, from duck hunting to deer hunting, and on the homestead. They are so real, no over acting or reacting, no loud annoying music, it’s just them being them. I’m not what you call a duck hunter, but I do buy a stamp every year just for support , because I have lots of ducks on my ranches most years. I do enjoy the cooking they do too, because I’m the cook. My farthest ranch is a four hour drive from home. I have been grilling more too, especially pork steaks.

[@TheRchunter57]

Been a while since I have commented but this year is probably the last year my 92 year old Dad will be at deer camp. I see myself in your videos of camp, not so much about deer as it's the tradition. Bought my cabin about 4 years ago and my experiences mirror yours to a tee. Our opener in WI is Saturday and we'll put another year in the books. Thanks for sharing Joe.

[@jackiebinns6205]

I love seeing your dad and Zack and you hanging out together making memories ! Your dad is one heck of a guy ! He has helped raise a good family , He taught you so many skills ! 😍🎉

[@johnl8996]

Another fantastic video, Joe. Thanks for letting us all tag along and watch nature in all it's glory!

[@skittycats]

Whether or not my brother and dad got a deer, it was the best time they ever had year after year. Some years they got deer, some years they saw them too far away to shoot. My dad passed this last year and tomorrow is his birthday. Enjoy the family time, it’s more than the hunt. Also, my mom and I got to hit the casino and had the same luck sometimes a winner and sometimes a loser. 🤣Thank you for sharing

[@robertdendooven7258]

My Dad, brother, and I used to go for big bucks at the casino at night, too. 😂

[@jenniferkargol3065]

Joe youre such a good dad. You still hang on every word your grown son says. Love it

[@Doug-rp5ik]

I admire how you got your kids into hunting, my sisters never deer hunted but my older granddaughters did, they both have taken nice bucks, but kinda given up on hunting, it seems Sara really enjoys hunting and that’s great. My grandsons hunt, fish and are not slowing down a bit. I love yalls deer camp and the meals you make. I started a lot of grilling at my cabins after I started watching. Keep the good videos coming, you are my favorite, hands down. I watch them over and over in my big screen. My grandpa lived deer hunting and all the sons and grandsons keep it going.

[@mikedotson4788]

Thanks Joe! I look forward to you deer camp videos every year. Thanks again.

[@Doug-rp5ik]

His videos are so relaxing, not a bunch of annoying music. I like onions fried in with my potatoes.

[@downatthebarnwrick4062]

I celebrate my 40th year at our deer camp. Trust me it has not been 40 years of killing deer. I just wish I had the knowledge to record those times at camp with past friends. I love all your Deer Camp videos and the weekend prior to opening weekend here in KY I do a JoeandZackSurvial Marathon and rewatch all of them. My new tradition. Keep doing what you do Joe.

[@EVTodd]

This year's deer camp was different, but I still enjoyed it. I can't put my finger on what was off, but it just didn't feel the same. Thanks, Joe, for all the hard work you put into making these outstanding videos!

[@harveyhagar]

My parents and grandparents are all gone...I'm always envious when your dad is speaking to you guys, he's got a lifetime of experience and wisdom to pass on and I hope you guys treasure every single moment...I KNOW you do..❤

[@meat094]

I love your tent! It's such a joy to watch you and your family enjoy your time together. Thanks for another great first day weekend!

[@davidgintz652]

YAY!!! time to sit back and relax. We been doing waiting for this Thankyou Joe. Y’all all take care and be safe 🦌🦌🦌🦌🏕️🏕️🏕️🏕️🏕️🔥🔥🔥🏕️

Enjoyed the vid Joe. Good to see your Dad, Zach and Sarah are doing well. The Tent always delivers good times for you guys and that is what counts.

[@trutsieo5430]

I enjoyed seeing the scenery with you & Zach. No one seems to make hateful comments & seems to just enjoy being together. I love it. ❤ can’t wait for next video

[@Rguy744]

I can watch your tent videos all day long love it.

[@mikekubiak8467]

What a fantastic trip, Got to hang with family, friends, exploring, and enjoying being outdoors. I'm jealous!!! Thanks for posting.

[@josephshade2037]

We had a very successful season here in Kentucky. One 11 pointer, one 9 pointer, one 4 pointer and a doe harvested. Good luck for the rest of your season.

[@nightingaleofsorrow9349]

Count yourself lucky you don’t have wolves. 🐺🐺🐺

[@josephshade2037]

@@nightingaleofsorrow9349 We don't have wolves. We do have coyotes. I set up a coyote call and have some friends down for a coyote shoot. One of my buddies that come down is a taxidermist. He takes them back to his shop. We did kill a black coyote one year. Only one I ever seen

[@JeffK1962]

Ah the colman white gas lanterns... memories of camping/fishing/hunting. Great memories thanks.

[@timezup8637]

You bring your subscribers with you to deer camp. I feel like I'm right there with you. Thank you

[@lockedin60]

We are always at the mercy of the weather elements. You take rains and the winds and old dead trees you have some fallen clean up time. Just like we dealt with in WNC when Helene hit in September. My little slice of paradise didn't stand a chance when the 36 hours of rains had swollen all the area creeks into ragging rivers. I lived in a townhouse where the closest trees were 100-150 yards away. But after Sept 27 all 9 townhomes had massive tree trunks blocking all doors and windows.

[@sharonhenry7422]

Joe it is so nice to see how close your family is.... We are a family of huggers and I loved it when you hugged Zach goodbye when he started to leave. Just love your channel and also Northern Seclusion.... Been watching for a year. Sorry that I don't comment more but I usually watch on my TV and can't find a way to comment,,,,, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Joe!!

[@noyopacific]

Thanks for the video Joe ! I enjoyed your reminiscence about the sound and aroma of the old Coleman white gas lanterns. I still fire mine up occasionally. I also have an old Svea backpacking stove that made an even louder pulsating noise. It was always a welcome sound to signal that there would soon be a hot meal.

[@jimlangton8885]

first time in many years that we didn't hear - "Sara it's time to get up" LOL great video as always.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

i enjoyed it. lots of exploring and grouse this trip. its more the tradition. keep em coming

[@backcountrypipe]

Another classic that we wait all year for. Hopefully the deer situation will get better for you guys. Regardless I love your tradition of deer camp. I was lucky to get a 160lb 8 pointer this year. Very cool history about the camp and the bottle finds. So happy to see your dad still getting out. Thanks for the video and taking the time. Regards Mark

[@annfears1724]

I truly enjoyed watching 👀, The Tent ⛺️, I will watch it again to put it all together. Zach&Sarah and your dad, memories. Thanks, Joe, for sharing .👍👌

I'll watch this Friday when I get to deer camp.

[@planetpapa2085]

Great video!! Always look fwd to the deer camp videos.

[@backwoodshunter.2439]

My cousin has deer hunted northern Minnesota for the last 20+ years. He says the last 2 years have been completely worthless. He used to take his kids up there to hunt and they would fill 5 deer tags in a weekend… and now he’s lucky to even see one set of deer tracks. Until the DNR does something about the wolves, I don’t see the situation getting any better

[@debbiemcclure2874]

If yal never drop a deer I still enjoy deer camp vids. I love the family conversations especially with dad😊. I do hope yal get one this year. Looks like slim Pickens. Tyfs God bless you

[@whitetailhollowacres6917]

Hey Joe, When you were telling Zach about the snow in '91...I remember it clearly. I worked in Ramsey and lived in Maple Grove. I had a little 4wd pickup. I thought i was king of the road...until I wasn't 😂. We saw many deer but not the right one. It's me and my son and son-in-law. We all stay out at deer camp. It's great family time. I love it.

[@dianajones7999]

Enjoyed Joe and Zach exploring.

Deer hunting is not always about getting a deer

[@robertmead1015]

nice to see on whats it been 3years since you saw one thats so bad

[@mudell.hunter0426]

Truth but if a person is deer hunting it’s nice to at least see deer unless you’re just there to be at camp and aren’t really interested in hunting

[@Mike-ux9qz]

Love your videos keep up the great work.

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

I know that smell you're talking about from many camping trips as a kid. When it was time to go to bed, it was so quiet in the tent when dad killed the lantern.

[@victorfortin542]

No luck with the deer, but luck with the wind fall trees, that’s close to your truck, and no one wants the outhouse out of order. Thanks for sharing your time.

[@dstevenpaisley]

Thought you had lots of deer .But deer camp is always a great time.good food,great friends and family

[@Conmantwitty]

Sticking to a tradition sometimes is better than the hunting.

[@smilebehappy6102]

Cool Zach & Joe are both at the tent.

[@Elkfever]

From our camp to your camp, Happy Thanksgiving

[@Northeastdeerhunter]

Great video Joe. Your deer camp videos are the best. Warm here in the northeast as well. Need some rain to wash the scent away already and some cold.

[@dawnlindgron5570]

Defiantly a no deer hunt all over , I live by Backus,MN which is between Bemidji and Brainerd. Not a shot was heard. We got one doe on opener and nothing for rest of season. Out at our old farm also 2 deer, but so quiet and windy !! Was good to see your dad and your kids to. We had trees down all over in the area as well.

[@brettbales1893]

So different depending on where you hunt. In SW Georgia where I hunt with each license you can get 10 doe and 2 buck. Filled my freezer with 3 large doe first day. Its actually encouraged to fill your doe limit. Hope you get something eventually. Good luck!!

[@SuperSlappy25]

I'm commenting on my laptop but going to watch on TV not signed in YT. Thanks Joe!

Oh wait, hold on a sec. You should have been able to plug the vacuum into the Jackery. You could have vacuumed after all Joe lol. Awesome video as always Joe, thank you for sharing. It was nice to see your dad, Zack and Sarah again.

[@ArleneKorth]

I have a very similar coffee set Zak except mine is a green color. Works really well in our camper.

[@rogerpultz5597]

Awesome video 👍👍 Really enjoyed it

[@sinclairpages]

I find it amazing that these camps and cabins are not broken into and items stolen. I can only assume it is the life style and honesty of people living in the area. I could see someone being stranded due to vehicle breakdown and enter a cabin for long enough to make it thru the night and get help. How much land do individuals on average own in that area? Like do you own maybe 20 acres in there. You most likely mentioned this in a previous video about how all this property ownership works in the area. It sounds like the state owns all the land and maybe you get to own a tiny parcel. I still have some pump up lanterns. Can be very laud. Melissa will be upset that you are using vegetable oil cooking. Smart woman. I do love these two hour videos. So much more information.

[@Mark-w7c]

It’s about being with family. Here in Wisconsin both my sons are up for the opener this coming weekend. I so look forward to to hunting with them!

You got more patience than me for sitting in a stand, Joe and Zach. I wouldn't even think about it without deer estrus scent.

[@seppor8131]

Looks like last year was the last year with the kids. Sorry Joe, feel your pain as 2:11:43 they grow and leave. Hope you find a deer again one day.

[@4wheelliving132]

I'm not a grouse hunter, but I ride an atv in the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan and I've seen more grouse this year than probably the last 3 years combined. On about a normal 3 or 4 hour ride I probably see about a half dozen of them, plus in the soft sand I see their tracks everywhere

[@richarde735]

so what kind of maintenance must you do on the tent each year? how long does the tent last before the canvas needs replacement?

[@Gumpmachine1]

Thanks Joe

[@partridgepimp3363]

You should try deer hunting where your grandfather stayed at that camp. That would be a cool place to get one. I bet u would have good luck there💯

My grandma would sometimes boil some very large diced potatoes with the juice from a can of green beans and then toss in the drained green beans during the last few minutes of boiling to warm them through. She would drain this, and serve the potatoes and green beans with butter. I still sometimes make this but I miss her.

Hey Joe. Now would be a good time to spread some seeds for a feeding plot in the areas they cleared the trees. Especially in spring. Give the deer the feed they prefer.

There would have too be Deer!for that too work!

[@pipsweeney]

@@johnkeszei5995 for one, as if it's not already obvious, it's not a bait pile.

[@pipsweeney]

@jeremystudinski1180 there are deer. Just not there. Nothing to keep them coming back, and as I have mention in comments on another video, they need to knock down the wolf population.

[@pipsweeney]

@johnkeszei5995 if it's legal, it's legal, how you hunt is your business, how I hunt is mine. Food plots benefit deer all year, not just hunting season.

[@pipsweeney]

@johnkeszei5995 Joe had mentioned in a previous video the Ministry people should plant the plants and trees that deer feed on to help the deer population. If they aren't going to do it, sometimes you have do it yourself.
