Johnny, I love watching you guys videos. I was born and raised Clearfield County. Left when I joined the Army. Been back a few times to hunt with my dad before he died in 2010. I live in Georgia now and hunt when I'm not working K9s in Iraq.. Keep the videos coming. Love them. They bring back great memories.
You sir have your self deer heaven. Amazing woods god bless ya brother. I wish NY would do a 3 on 1 side like pa that would let allot of bucks live and grow. Amazing woods u have best of luck every deer season
I live in New York to and that would be a great law. That would help the deer to get bigger. Maybe if they had that law you would get more people hunting
Lots of great footage there. I just wish I had action like that. Been hunting like a fiend the last two weeks. Just saw small bucks and does. Had does walking around with no followers.
Awesome video man!! I'm from mercer county pa but i'm in the clarion area all the time cause that is where my wife is from. One day id like to have a piece of property like this to hunt. The only places I have to hunt are public property here in mercer county and the deer are few and far between believe me on this ive been hunting public land for 12 years. Even though you didn't get a deer this would still be a successful hunt as far as i'm concerned! Good luck this rifle season!!
My favorite part of these videos is John's strict antler restriction in an attempt to shoot monsters (which he does) And then uncle Ron's complete lack of regard and shoots anything legal hahaha #LoveIt
Where I live in Ny it would take 3-4 seasons of hard hunting to see that many bucks . People around here shoot spikes and small rack bucks all the time . NY needs antler restrictions. This is why this past season I hunted Pa for 2 days and got a nice 8 point . I will be finding more areas in Pa to hunt . Mostly eastern Pa . Pike county
Qdm goes a long way. I wish I had neighbors like you. It's a shame when people shoot deer that aren't at full potential wether it be doe or buck. I would take a 200 lb 4 pointer over a 160 lb 8 pointer any day. The horns are a bonus.
awesome video guys! I've seen some great Mature deer but lately everything on my camera went nocturnal. the last 2 weekends all I saw were small bucks and 0 doe. First day of archery I almost got to shoot a nice 8 but he needed to take 2 steps but he ran off. Everything's been dead lately though. we need more people in the woods rifle season to get the deer moving. BTW I'm in Northeastern PA
+kcrone1 most often 20 but sometimes I have gone close to 30feet depending on elevation and backround cover. I would say in this video 20- 25 in all stands.
have you guys though about getting the app sportsman tracker? its like instagram when you you post pictures but it is strickly for hunting or fishing. Think it would be pretty cool if you posted pics of your deer on there!
Nice footage, John. I always enjoy your videos. I think after following you for all these years.....I feel like I have a pretty good feel for your property. You're pretty good example for guys to follow with your buck logic. I live in SE PA and I know it's common for PA hunters to want to fill that tag with a small buck, but if you have the property and you have some control of the property....it makes great sense to pass those little guys up. I always forget to ask you if that food plot that you put in years ago - do you rotate what you put in it..or do you keep it the same all the time. If you're ever in SE PA....hit me up. I'd love to talk deer hunting with you, while dining on some backstraps. Looking forward to your buck season video(s).
+Deer Hunter Thanks! Well, I have little control over the property. Since it isnt mine but the families. I do try to set an example for all and although my logic has not produced me a buck, it has though, produced nice buck for family and neighbors. its this kind of generosity, that I believe, that needs to be present in the deer hunter of today. As with the foodplot. I planted it i believe in 2009 with Wildlife Perfect Grazing mix. I redid the plot in 2013 I think, and I messed it up bad. I actually bought the wrong seed. Well, i had a hard time getting the clover to come back and as you can see in the videos this year there is more grass than anything else and deer dont eat grass unless they are in a tough situation. So, it definitely needs redone next year if I can find time. I almost lost it completely this year. I neglected the plot and didnt have time to keep it mowed. weeds started taking over and I thought I was going to loose all my clover ( what I had left). I mowed it and blew as much clippings into the sides of the plot ( you can see in the foodplot hunting videos) just so the cut grass wouldnt kill what was underneath it. The plot is on its last leg yet produced more kills this year than in any other year. I may try to do a video on it next season If I can find the time.
Well......it sounds like you're in the same boat as a lot of other guys who do plots. Gung-ho going in and strapped for time to keep it balanced and from getting overgrown. I always appreciated your take on deer hunting....bucks in particular and while I think I think you're being a bit modest.....anyone watching your videos can see how stoked you are getting other people deer.....even making your shaky cousin pass up a pretty nice buck! I think it's cool that you set a high bar for yourself in the bucks you're willing to take. I know it's been a while since you killed a buck, but it's pretty cool to let these lesser bucks pass.....ones that most people would drool over (especially in PA), but I really admire that about you and that's what keeps me dialed in to your channel more than most. The other guys' videos are okay and I love all the deer drive videos too, but I enjoy your channel. I'm a little older than you, but I think we're a lot alike. Keep doing what you're doing. Looking forward to more videos and thanks for the note. Rich
Deer Hunter Thanks! Hope I can keep this going for a long time. Well, its the night before rifle season and I am going through checking comments and messages. My wife and I and the rest of the family just saw that big buck thats in this video locked with an 8 point. Luckily we didnt have to cut them apart and they got themselves free. Going to have that video up sometime soon!
Dang those bucks were fired up!!! Do u plan on putting out some flintlock videos this year. The video where ur grandpa skinned the deer with a John Deere gator is one of my favs
honest point: perhaps the little bucks are of the same lineage as the bucks you wish were breeding the does. is nature vs. nurture a discussion to be nurtured when speaking about nature?
I've seen two buck? I've seen two doe? Buck and doe are singular not plural. This new form of modified English seems to be getting popular on deer videos.
So tell me how old a buck must be to pass on his blood line? Old or young DNA is there... I saw two distinct horn patterns on your land... Both seem to have rt side slow growth or no growth... I say you have too much competition... Hold a hunt to kill off all those under 3yrs with anyone who wants a deer... Then those does will have few to choose from... Once mature, your bucks look great.
+ParadisePeakOutdoors ya I'm in 2b and we got doe all over the road dead and PETA needs to understand when deer population goes up less food and more predators are going to be around
+Ben Davies 2b is the only county they didn't buy out of u guys still have like 7,000. They bought a ton of tags and there narrow minds are going to cost them bc car crashes r gonna go up and deer will starve to death
I hunt pa state game lands. I pass up all kinds of bucks to. I see a yon every year. There 4k acres and as far as i no im the only one that hunts it the past 4 years. Theres some monsters there. So i understand why you pass up the deer you do
I'm with you, I'm from NH and if you are picky you might not get one but in Pennsylvania you can be picky and wait for a bigger one that ya has bigger horns but bigger body also. I talked to a guy here that had moved to NH from Penn. and he said a crew of 6 would be picky and still tag out in a week. must be nice.
@@thecolburnfarm7613 in order to ensure a quality deer heard you must be picky and careful about what you shoot. I have passed up many buck that have put on over 80+ inches in 2 years. Also hunting isn't completely about shooting something
+Nathan Hearld There were a few smaller bucks i would consider for the freezer in the video, but John manages the land and purposely trys to let the bucks get as big as possible. Rather see a video 2 years from now of a monster 8 point versus a small one now
to have a healthy Hurd u got manage u bucks as well as your does. so u need to kill off some of the smaller rack size buck that r of age. thats where ull get ur issues.
+Jesse weaver Well, you have to keep in mind that 50% of the genetics are from the doe. You can have all the giant buck in the world and if you have horrible genes coming from the doe, you wont have much. Most small bucks, spikes clear to 10 points can be first year rack deer. But just because it starts out a spike doesnt mean it wont get as big as the 10 point in its 4 year of antler. Thats how genetics work.
***** If you keep the crappy genes out with shooting off some of the thin horned bucks others will slowly replace it. But in the end it all takes time. And time is hard for most hunters. They see its 3 on one side and kill it. Or kill button bucks. See I live in Lancaster County. And even in DMA1 people r killing everything on the state game lands.
R Joseph Interrante I believe it ain't genetics I have talked to a deer sciancetist from Georgia and he came from Tioga county pa. He said it's health. And it's more winter spring and Summer. So its a four season food plot we need to plant 4 food plots. He said thats how ull grow big horned and big body deer but it will take 15+ years. So u can make bad geines good geines. So when I get my land out in the laral higths I will make 12 food plots. Nut trees grasses. Growing deer is like growing beefe steers with out controlling there breeding.
@Dave Martin why is not really any kind of hunter? Watch all of his videos and you’ll see that he hunts harder than a lot of people. Just because he doesn’t plug the first scrub buck that walks his way doesn’t indicate his hunting skills. He has an abundance of does on his property and kills at least one every year on video.
@Dave Martin to each their own. I don’t hunt with cameras, but I enjoy watching his videos. I don’t quite understand the negativity towards him, as it’s not hurting anyone, but you do you. Have a good one
That’s a good thing. Too many losers these days that use the “meat hunter” excuse to justify killing little bucks so that they can cover up the fact they are inconsiderate d-bags to everyone else who passes this deer up in the area.
Johnny, I love watching you guys videos. I was born and raised Clearfield County. Left when I joined the Army. Been back a few times to hunt with my dad before he died in 2010.

Amazing video! Can't wait to see the rest of the guys videos and rife season. Good luck to all!
I really enjoy your videos John. Looking forward to see what you have in store for this year. Keep up the good work!
Great season so far.....u got tons of good video. Hope to see more during rifle and the laste flintlock lock season.
Lots of great footage there. I just wish I had action like that. Been hunting like a fiend the last two weeks. Just saw small bucks and does. Had does walking around with no followers.

...what's the grunt call your using in this video ? Do you have a link for it?
Wait, "right out my back door in my front yard"...?!?! lol
You guys should get a "deadcat" or some kind of wind muff in order to reduce the effect wind has on the sound in video.
As always, great video.
Where I live in Ny it would take 3-4 seasons of hard hunting to see that many bucks . People around here shoot spikes and small rack bucks all the time . NY needs antler restrictions.

Hi John....One of your best vids yet!! Can you tell me the name or brand of that grunt call please?? Stay safe....

What kind of deer grunt do you use? Thanks and great vid!

It is always interesting to watch the rut even if the players are on the small side.

that buck with the sorry antler tho lol
Is this the 10 point you shot during rifle season John?
Yep!
Awesome videos 👍🏼
Dang those bucks were fired up!!! Do u plan on putting out some flintlock videos this year. The video where ur grandpa skinned the deer with a John Deere gator is one of my favs
+bs431980 haha. yep I plan on doing a couple flintlock videos this year if possible. Planning on saving at least one to two tags for flintlock.
+Leatherwoodoutdoors2 how many tags do you get?
Cameron Chamberlain usually get two - 3 tags.
nice video,
Where are you at in PA? Im in 2b Washington County sometimes Westmorland County
+Bstoy21 we are in 2D
Cool video. What camera are you using?
Thanks! Sony HD handycam
what grunt are you using
i would like to see royer in more videos
John do you do any trapping up that way? see any fisher sign?
nice vid
Is that the same 10pt you shot with the rifle?
How high do you set in your stands? 20ft??
Love your videos btw. Recent subscriber and I I'm WV. Wish we had the Bucks y'all got. Great vids.
what kind of camera do you use?
+Minecraft Paintballer sony hd handycams
what state and how much land do you hunt?
PubliclLandHunter outdoors S.J he's in pa
At 11:00 thats the same buck you shot later that year
honest point: perhaps the little bucks are of the same lineage as the bucks you wish were breeding the does. is nature vs. nurture a discussion to be nurtured when speaking about nature?
what do u use for a camera arm?

Hahaha the doe!!!!

Rattling works great when u have allot of bucks like u do.
I got a big doe yesterday with my shotgun!
I've taken 4 deer this year 2 does and 2 bucks and you see all of these deer why don't you take any of them
I got my buck on hollonwen this last archery season and my dad shot his when. we gutting mine!!!
Send some of those bucks east would ya!!!
Doesn't help that PETA bought all the doe tags. Have u heard about that?
Well doesn't matter to me I got my doe tag
+Ben Davies well that's gonna screw pa for the next few years bc there's gonna be a lot more doe which is a problem
+ParadisePeakOutdoors ya I'm in 2b and we got doe all over the road dead and PETA needs to understand when deer population goes up less food and more predators are going to be around

I would say....too many little bucks

But they are already big
That first doe was skinny
Ur a good hunter but ur picky u can’t eat the horns
I'm with you, I'm from NH and if you are picky you might not get one but in Pennsylvania you can be picky and wait for a bigger one that ya has bigger horns but bigger body also.

I love your guys hunting videos but can u start shooting more bucks an less does it seems like all you guys shoot is does
