Eating the tenderloin of a deer that you just harvested is one of the greatest joys of living a life well lived. Fortunately, I have had the privelege of experiencing this a few times. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great vid, as usual.
I live vicariously through these videos. I wish I was able to stuff like this, medical issues limit me from going off the grid.. its pissed me off my entire life

I must admit I’m envious of you guys. I’m in the U.K. where we can’t really do much of the kind of things in this video and it’s my idea of heaven. In recent years I’ve become drawn to (possibly obsessed with) that lifestyle.
Well Clay I have to say, you have managed to capture on video what we dream about all year! That video was as satisfying as cooking a tenderloin on a campfire! Thanks for sharing your adventures sir!
Great hunt Clay. Nice to see some Midwest Whitetail tactics mixed with Western. Only recently have traditional bowhunters in this area started using loadshelfs and packing out Whitetails. In Mo they can get big and require two packs but its still more efficient then dragging. Treestands in the pines would be fun...congrats on the tenderloin!! Good job.
Man, Clay, 10 days is a LONG hunting trip under cold and rugged conditions. Yet, I'm still jealous. Remember my offer to hand you off a good black locust stave if you ever come through Utah. Springbuck.
Love the fire starting technique, praying for snow seems weird for the rookies amongst us. Hoping for some dry or just very cold weather here in the UK 🇬🇧 so I can drive my car to within a few hundred yards of my high seat / tree stand rifle hunt. 😂. My 64 years is really no excuse just very different geography. Amazed that you are able to film and hunt so well. As always, thanks for sharing.
I just love everything you produce content wise. Just watched your elk moccasin video yesterday as well. Makes me feel like im hunting with you(if only) and makes me want to make more and more things. Thank you Clay
😮 That has GOT to be a once in a lifetime experience! Ya definitely don't have to do much tracking in such a situation😅 I love that you used modern forms of ignition as well. You sometimes show your butane torch or lighter in fire starting videos, but I'm so accustomed to watching your primitive survival series that I often forget that are still a modern man. That fresh tenderloin strip looked mighty delicious too.
Ohhhh you’ll be catching hell from someone about how you put out that fire! 😀 That’s the easiest retrieve I’ve ever seen. Happy eating and a happy new year Clay!
I had a trip last winter. My friend was hiking with me to show me an area i could set up... hes got a beautiful husky. It was a 2 mile hike across questionable ice. And i think his dog recognized that... or maybe she just did not like the slush on her paws. But she ran off right after we hit the ice. It was scary and i was worried the whole week i was out there. But when i got back... it was just like i said... "she will probably be waiting at the truck for you when you get back. And sure enough... she was. Dogs are kind of smart that way. She remembered where we parked and she went right back. But there were cayotes out there. Luckily bears were hibernating. But he was really worried the cayotes would get her. But yea. I feel for your buddy. Its nerve wracking not knowing. Im glad your buddys pup showed back up.
Clay, there's some really good cheap $15 -$20 5W VHF radios from Quansheng that might be helpful in that location 👍 Drives me crazy watching you chop & split wood so easy. I'm in Australia, we've got the hardest, knottiest woods in the world here and huge areas of the country have only tiny reserves of soft wood 🫤
I arrowed a good bear that did the same thing took off and ran right into a tree about 5 yards away and died , back in the mid 90's . Thanks enjoy seeing your stuff Clay !!!
Two things that stand out, well more than just two, I'll just point out two, "bouncy" the term for chewy venison. Yup I had tenderloins from a good size buck this fall, 218 pounds and it was bouncy, fresh that evening fried on the stove at home. it hung for a week before I started to cut it up slowly over the next week about 2 weeks before I was finished picking at the bones, every thing so far has been free of bounce. Second is snow covered ground and you didn't spend any time putting out the fire, people get carried away with fire extinguishing, I would have left it burning as it with that snow on the ground, it would have burned most of itself up into just a bit of ash and a few chunks of coal, sitting enjoying itself till its time was due.
Your camera work, the hunting cabin, incredible dude. This whole experience was just amazing to watch. Love it and thank you so much for sharing my brother congratulations
As one who's just 4 weeksinto hip joint replacement recovery, makes me wince to see ya shoulder that pack for return trip to camp! Congrats on the hunt and, hopefully, all the ones in your future.
Great tactic to utilize the tree stand for the late season hunts. I've been wondering about packing a tree stand up the mountain for the late season rut hunt here in southern Idaho. It's tough to stalk in on the crunchy snow. Great video!
Clay, As you’re filming the deer, moving in front of the camera with ease, I think that we all stopped moving, including our eyeballs know that we might even scare off the deer. Geez, watching your videos take a lot out of us too. Best of luck… for snow. Skillet
this is the real bow hunting since the beginning of human civilization.
I love your style of hunting video. No obnoxious background music, just the sounds of the woods. Well done!
Dude! I have never been that excited about a hunt I wasn’t involved in! I loved every second! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed

Wow, thanks so much!
i needa bow. can throw me a bone be sweeet too =D

When you come from a country where it's illegal to bow hunt, these videos are just brilliant to watch. I feel like I'm there 😊
Where is it illegal to bow hunt
@@stuartabbey5195 from the very same place the English longbow and variants of was created. Used for hunting for hundreds of years. Go figure? England has some strange laws
@@mrdaveofdaveshire4047go to France its the closest legal country that comes to mind
Looks like it’s time for another Robin Hood lol
@@naturewithandy7204 your not wrong there! I'm sure Amazon will do next day on green tights lol
This video captures what real hunting and woodsmanship are so well
Might need some CB radios in the trucks with no cell service.

Springbuck.
Great video and commentary as always Clay. Thanks for bringing us along!
I believe this is the second time I’ve viewed this hunt. It doesn’t get old. Thx
That's what it's all about man. Glad the pup came back! GREAT VIDEO Clay
Dang I never get tired of watching your stuff man! That was beautifully done.
There's no better way to end the year than this. I hope I can experience this at least once in my life. Thanks for bringing us along!

Yeah, probably so🤣🔥
I am too old and lazy to hunt like you do. Love to watch it though!

This brought enjoyable memories back to this old man... Thankee for sharing...
No problem
Congratulations Clay, as always another amazing video.
Love it man , thx for taking us along
Great hunt! Happy new year to you and your family!
The late season hunts are my favorite videos to watch. Great job.
Glad you like them!
this is the for sure one of the coolest things iv ever seen

Since we are living vicariously through you, I like some salt for next one please. 🤣
🤣none needed!
You are a good man to have around in the wild!
I arrowed a good bear that did the same thing took off and ran right into a tree about 5 yards away and died , back in the mid 90's . Thanks enjoy seeing your stuff Clay !!!
Dude, you're John Smoltz. Loved you on the Braves in the 90's.
Miss the mountains, have to get to them again soon! appreciate the vid!

I just wanted to kick that fire for the hell of it😜
My brother Jesus Christ bless you and your family Happy New Year. Hugs from Amazonas Brazil

Clay dostum seninle birlikte olmak çok güzel,seninle bu anı yasayan ve izleyen bütün iyi insanlara selamlar🎉

Congratulations on your successful hunt, Clay. And as always, thanks for taking us with you.
I'm surprised your buddies didn't show up hungry lol 😆
Very inspirational Clay! I enjoy watching your content.
I want to spend time w you in the mountains to learn!
Love it.
And your old truck always puts a smile on my face.
Damn that must be tough to film and hunt at the same time!
No other content out there like what Clay is doing wow
I always like the video before it even starts playing🏅
Same.
Awesome stuff Clay. There’s just something about whitetails
I love’em!
As one who's just 4 weeksinto hip joint replacement recovery, makes me wince to see ya shoulder that pack for return trip to camp! Congrats on the hunt and, hopefully, all the ones in your future.
Great content brother!!! Keep it coming 🤠
Happy New Year Hayes family
I like your teepee!
Congrats. Beautiful video. Happy New Year, Hayes family 😊
I've been a fan since "Alone", hope to know 10% of what Clay knows one day :)
Happy New Year, Clay & Family!
They say that sweet meat'll give you back problems lol. Congrats man
Good stuff!!
Thanks Clay. A nice clean kill. Best wishes to you and yours for 2024.
Happy new year!

I like that camera angle. Shows a little more of what it takes to self film when there’s critters around!
Man, I love your hunting trips ❤
Best wishes from Greece 🇬🇷
Many thanks
Happy New Year from South Texas awesome video, can't wait for your next one.
Outstanding, in every way!
Good job!!!
Awesome film Clay Happy New year from Belgium
Redemption! Haha that was the perfect saying for when the dog came back hahaha!!!
The pheasant, Chinese takeout joke made me laugh out loud haha
Awesome video. Growing up in the Rockies makes it hard to call anywhere else home.
Clay I’ve watched a lot of your stuff but this was best..
Thank ya
lol. Right into ur tree!That was awesome
Late season grind pays off! Congrats clay!
I watched your videos hunting elk with a flintlock. It's good to see some more people keep tradition alive.
your a beast. I bet your parents are very proud of you and your wife and kids. The world needs more clays.
What a shot!
Clay, Looks like you probably don't need any help with the tracking. Sweet!
Yep, never had that happen!
I could've used a little salt on that tender, but it looked delicious
Fresh tenderloin, yummy.
Awesome!!! 👍
WOW Love it!
Great hunt, fresh meat right on a fire 😊
Oh yeah!
Great video happy new year
To stand up with that deer and know you have to do it again in a minute to get the camera gear must be nice. Great video Clay and genuine as always.
Thanks 👍
Excellent hunt Clay and congratulations on a real nice doe. Happy New Year and wishing you and your family an even better 2024.
Take care
Nate
