Red and Black Plaid is all hunter swore for decades and they shot lots of deer. love these vi8ds, showing it like it was and believe me in some areas it hasn't changed much, just newer vehicles.
Black and red plaid outfit has been called the Pennsylvania tuxedo.
I LIKE the period hunting camp clothing, weapons and the recreation of camp life.
These videos are great! I appreciate the little glimpse into how our forebears lived their lives, along with simple, educational commentary. Fantastic.
My late husband was an avid hunter. Sometimes he would simply not take the shot due to size of the animal. He was picky and he would go have a dry spell of no deer for years. It never stopped him from hunting. He couldn't go when his health started to fail. You are a young man with lots of good years ahead of you. Take your time and enjoy doing what you love even if you don't take a deer. PS, your wife did an awesome job on that jacket. I love it. Love your videos and the the music you use is awesome. Had an old hand cranked Victrola when I was a kid. Reminds me of that. Some of those songs were hilarious. One song about smoking stands out in my memory.
Thank you for the compliments and the lovely comment! Yes, I do enjoy just being in the woods. It is good therapy!
A bad day in the woods is still better than a good day at work
I have many memories of when my dad was alive and had several good deer hunts and small game hunting would do any thing to have those times back again
@@20thcenturyadventures yes I agree it’s very good therapy
Back in the 50s and 60s one of the hunters at my Grandfathers camp wore a tie to the camp. It was tradition that one of the other hunters would use their hunting knife to cut off the tie and then nail it to the camp door and use it as a door handle for the duration of the hunt.
@@oldschoolboyscout interesting! That was certainly a time of change. I have spoken to several folks who were old enough to remember hunting trips from the 20s and 30s, and ties were still fairly common in hunting camps at that time. Nowadays, folks hardly believe that anyone ever wore one while hunting, but oral histories and photographic evidence prove otherwise.
Outstanding as usual. Reminded me of stories my grandpa use to tell me about same situation here in south central pa. We zero deer then in our area and they all took the model T upstate PA near New York line and hunted. Then over time we got deer back and they stopped going up and hunted our farms clear to present.
Well done'
Very much appreciate your efforts in keeping it historic
Glad you enjoyed it!
My grand dad used to tell me stories of him small game hunting in Oklahoma in the early 1930's. This reminded me of those stories.
I like this video. I have a 35 REM. I have several pairs of riding pants on this style,and riding boots. Here in Menifee co.Ky the last steer killed was in the 1890s.They didn't start stalking deer until the 1940s.After that the 1st season was between 1958 to 1959.It was 5 days from early morning to afternoon. Yo was only one for that season. David Back.
I find these period style videos absolutely wonderful. As someone who enjoys the idea of yesteryear I really find your videos fascinating. It’s obviously harder to film and do what you need to get a deer. Maybe a dedicated camera man would help. Either way, harvest or no harvest it’s good content and information. You definitely don’t need camo. The red plans is just as good to a deer and what was used historically to harvest many animals for many years.
I believe it was Fred Bear who said, "You don't need camo. Your grandfathers hunted deer to the brink of extinction in red plaid."
That’s the way we should travel like in those days love those old vintage automobiles wish we could go back to those days again
Great video
Love those boots
Thanks!
This was like looking back in time although something's haven't changed that much over the years.
Enjoyed your video!
Years ago had an old guy at our deer camp in WV tell us about as a kid in the early 1900s his dad taking them up this mountain to show them a Deer Track that was how rare deer were then.
I hunt with a Winchester model 1910 that was made in 1913.
These videos are so cool! Love them. They take you back to another time in America.
My grandma on my dad side her grandfather lived and hunted in Georgia and he used a marlin 1895 in 30-30 and all the pictures i have ever seen of him he's wearing overalls even the picture from 1910 and he also really loved fox hunting and my grandpa never minded going fox hunting with him but he just hated how cold it was , which I'm Guess that was because he served in the US army in Korea as a lineman in the Korean war and one few things he ever told My dad about was how cold it was there
Man this was a totally awesome video !!! Thanks for making and showing it 👍👍
very enjoyable video, what hunter hasn’t imagined hunting 100 years ago and what that must have been like.
I guess I messed up and didn’t send my first comment. Anyway, it was just that I always learn so much from your videos. Great content as always and will recommend it to everyone. I think you should have more recognition for the hard work that you do in bringing the past to life .
Thanks! I just enjoy doing them. It's a fun way to share some knowledge and show some cool things. Also gives me a solid excuse for my wife when I see something in an antique store that I "need for a video". Lol!
Would love to see a extravagant camp from the 1920s with tents and some of the accessories that a person would take if they were staying multiple days
Check out the National Motor Camp video on my channel!
@20thcenturyadventures I'll check it out.Thank you all so very much for keeping history alive.
That looked fun even if you didn't kill anything. That packing iron book is $124! Ill have to borrow your copy.
Haha. I borrowed a friend's copy, too! Lol!
@@20thcenturyadventures is there a good way to reach you that i can send pictures? I have been trying to reproduce beaver fur gauntlet gloves and I have been wondering if you know anything about them
@@dougmeek3304 you can email through our website at www.logsdonandco.com. I'll confess, I don't know a lot about those.
That's why it's called _hunting_ and not *getting.*
It did sound quite "active" in a scene or two. It's tough when the whole county is out pushing 'em around.
Yeah. It was like Verdun on opening weekend. There was so much gunfire on the public land, that I wasn't about to step off my own property.
Very well done gentlemen. I also remember my first cousins grandad used to tell us hunting stories but he always called it gunning.
These hunting videos are my favorite!
G'Day,
As always, I enjoyed watching this video. Nice selection of firearms. I like the look of that Remington semi auto. Only ever seen one in a repro Bannerman catalogue. I had a modern Winchester 94 .30/30 in the 70's. Now regret selling it as it would cost a Royal mint to replace it now! I also liked how you showed typical food of the time. I've never made dumplings in camp but have often baked soda bread or "damper" as it is called here in Australia. Since finding your channel I'm keen to put together a civilian impression in the same period. Might even go tweed when I fish with my old split cane fly rod and wicker creel. It all adds to the experience and enjoyment. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Steve
Truly enjoyable, appreciate the history lessons. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You have to keep your eyes open when looking for vintage firearms and be a reloader because even 12 gauge shotguns were not standardized in that era which makes it easier to pick them up these days because the average person is not going to mess with 2 1/2 inch hulls. Unfortunately many just crammed in a highbase shell back in the day and ruined many a shotgun. I am fortunate to have found a Marlin Model 19 in 12 gauge 2 1/2 that spent most of it life in a truck rack or behind a door as it is still solid so I can use it and not be concerned about the bolt ripping my face off.
Saw your post on the Facebook group so I came to check you out. I love it.
You are doing a great job doing these videos. I enjoy this time period. Keep up the great work.
A fellow hoosier! love the videos of this style!
Great video, I wouldn't worry too much.
My cousin did a driven pheasant shoot as an edwarden gentleman.
Great video and guests!
Gosh what a lovely Model 8, Nathanael!😉
Also have to say I really admire your shirt, and look forward to seeing it on the website even though I don't normally get along with wool. The cut is just outstanding.
Love your videos. My grandpa used to tell me when he was young you’d never see a deer and if ya did, you remembered it and he was born in 39. Scary to think they could all be gone again in a heartbeat
Great vid, just a few things... I almost exclusively stillhunt, which is different than tracking, not terribly difficult, and actually requires far less scouting than stand hunting. I'm not terribly quiet, or a good shot, and I quite often take mature bucks while hunting sections of forest that I have previously never set foot in. I wont get to far into the specifics, but just point out that modern hunting litterature sells this method horribly short, often portraying it as an impossible venture.
The one point you got right is to move like a deer, in noisy conditions I've actually had bucks charge in to investigate simply by keeping my noise and movements deerlike. Ironic that most hunters think their footsteps will scare deer into the next county, but will not hesitate to blast away on a call or rattle antlers... I've heard deer call a handfull of times, and heard them spar exactly twice. I've heard their footsteps hundreds, if not thousands of times though. Even in noisy conditions, if you can keep your noise deer like... the cringe inducing noise of your steps is actually more natural than a deer call. Just something to keep in mind.
Good points, but I think it really depends a lot on location. Still hunting is fairly difficult where I am , because the underbrush is very dense. In the video, I filmed segments in artificially cleared areas of woods so the camera could see me, but much of it is so thick that you don’t have a lot of visibility, and the noise you make is more than just leaf rustling, as you're fighting briars and such as well, and moving the branches of small trees more than a deer would. Also, I don't recommend still hunting on the crowded public land we have here, because you'll run into a hunter every 300 yards. That limits the activity to large private parcels of land, but most properties nowadays are about 10-20 acres, unless it's a big farm. I had trouble finding enough room to do much still hunting on my own land as it was, and yet, I did see deer while doing it, so it's certainly not impossible, and I didn't say it was. I just found the experience more challenging than sitting in one place, but that has its own challenges too.
@@20thcenturyadventures Yeah, I live in northern Alberta so space isnt an issue, but we've got real thick undergrowth here too, most of my deer are shot at 40 yards or less. The one thing to remember about thick bush and tricky wind etc is that the challenge go's both ways. Whatever trouble you are having is also working against the deer. To me its a trolling vs jigging thing, jigging is good when you have good numbers of fish concentrated (deer in agricultural setting), trolling is better when your quarry is less plentifull and more scattered.
The other instance where stillhunting shine's is in bad wind. I have killed tons deer while stillhunting in poor wind conditions, while I have never once killed a deer from a stand when the wind was bad. So even in your case, if you know of a ridge that is full of sign but trick winds always ruin yor day, try still-hunting it. Staying mobile your scent doesnt pool to the same degree, and even if the deer do catch the odd whiff, they cant pinpoint your exact location.
Also I would love to see a collaboration with you and Rachel Maksy. She has a great channel more of an art channel but on point with your history timeline.
I will check her channel out. Thanks!
Another fantastic video! Thanks for sharing
Crazy to think about but in 1915 arkansas there still wasnt electricity and the majority didnt have cars
Quite a few places in the country that didn't have either of those (or running water) until after WWII
You should try Minnesota above hyw.200. Intensive harvest.
How old is the cabin you where at.in this video. It pretty cool to see an old cabin like that.
I built that cabin out of scrap and salvage during the great shutdown of 2020. Lol! However, most of the materials are much older, plus I spent 15 years in the film industry, building sets, props, and wardrobe, and 10 of those years I also spent heavily involved in historic architectural restoration and preservation, so there's an artistic element in there as well. Every structure seen in my woods-setting videos I have built since 2020. It's one of my many side-hobbies! Lol!
Wow! Would you be interested in doing a video detailing the cabin? @@20thcenturyadventures
@@mrbuffalolego I plan to at some point, after i finish a few more things i want to do with it. My video on historical research was filmed inside the cabin, so there's a little more of a view in that one.
You definitely don’t need camo for most forms of hunting if your any good at it. That is for sure. Even the makers of it will admit that camo is for the hunter and not the game haha.
The one northern deer hunting technique that I hated and I am glad it is rarely used is the drive. One it is dangerous and there is always one or two that take the shooting position and not rotate. They are usually the person that drank the most the night before. One modern thing for doing a historic hunt is better tires. No fixing flats or glueing cracks. Because of deer feeding here, deer hunting is lousey. The deer don't look for food. They can go to food stations and back in the dark or pre dawn hours.
Excellent content, and very inspiring. I have an odd, niche question for you :) I'm especially interested in historical gaming. I've got an original "Battle Axe" brand card deck dated 1916 that I recently restored and am planning to have reproduced. I saw the chips you were using in the poker game and I really like their look. Are they modern or period? And do you recall where you got them?
Thanks! Enjoying the channel immensely.
Those are antique 19th century poker chips. They were a gift from a good friend.
Incredible gift! Nothing like the sound of clay chips.
Thanks!@@20thcenturyadventures
How was your fire vented? It looks like you have a giant fire for cooking in the middle of a room and no smoke.
It's a half-face camp shelter with a wooden reflector between the camera and the fire. The fire is in the open. There is a small porch roof that overhangs almost to the fire to keep rain off someone at the fire. Very handy setup!
People probably don't appreciate behind the scenes people like Josh. Try doing it without, you'll learn.
That can happen, yeah. Happily though, these guys always appreciate my cooking, and get as excited about new recipes as I do! :)
I've never known a cook at deer camp to be unappreciated... ever! Lol!
Where did the planted deer come from?
Planted deer?
I believe he means the deer they brought in to repopulate the area
@@lukekillian5398 I believe they came from deer farms. I'm not positive where those farms were. I know that at least some of them arrived in Indiana by train, so they came from some distance. I believe they were also sourced from several different locations for genetic variety.
Great video! I love history and hunting
