Bless you who ever put this on! I’ve been looking for this for years. Haven’t seen it since I was a teenager. Used to watch it before deer season each year. So good
Just a complete classic. I gotta watch this movie before gun season every year. I’m a creature with habits, if tings aren’t just so, tings won’t work out.
I visited Escanaba this year for the first time. After I cossed over the bridge the first thing I noticed was patstie stands all over. I stopped at one for lunch. It was like stepping into a different time. The store had old chest style freezers made in 1953 and they still work just fine. Lot of memorabilia there. There is something that can be said for harvesting your own food. My family all takes part in the process. Everything from skinning to grinding venison for sausage. When you are standing at the grill. Grilling those inner loins or backstraps. You have a memory of a great hunt and a magnificent animal. That's when it makes perfect sense. You are an active participant in the cycle of life. This is something most people will never understand.
Keep Going Nort and your Gonna see Da Truer UPPER PENINSULA YOUR NOT QUITE IN DA U.P. I WORKED WITH A FAMILY OF THE SOUVE CLAN FROM ESCANABA MICHIGAN. We worked on the same Ship’s at Marinette Marine, Wisconsin. Eh der Tommo ! Sistu
I am from Escanaba. I lived across the street from where they filmed Reubens house and saw them filming some of those scenes. Schools are closed opening day of hunting season in Escanaba.
Our season started on Saturday so everyone was in school Friday. A school teacher of mine used to take all week off for vacation and the substitute would just show science movies with no homework
If he loved hunting, then this movie was definitely up his alley. I first watched this movie as a random rental. Me and my friends saw it as teens, and we loved every second of it. That was 24 years ago. Time flies too fast.
I’ve watched this movie before every deer season for years. I didn’t this year and going into the last firearm weekend. Always done great. Watching tonight to bring me back to tradition and hopefully some luck!
Spent a year in Sterling Heights, MI when I was a teen. I grew up hunting but there was almost a right if passage to it in MI. Even people who lived in the suburbs would have white tail shoulder mounts adorning their dens. It was comforting to see actually.
"Behind every good man is a woman who can hunt." I'm revisiting this movie since I moved back to Northern MI a little while ago and am participating in rifle season this year. Ya know, get into the mood of it. I've got no issue with hunting but my husband on the other hand... poor guy is afraid to hurt a fish when we catch one let alone pull the trigger on a deer. I wouldn't change that for the world because he is a very good man.
I Was Born In Stevens Point, Wisconsin. That's Where I Live Now. But I Was Raised Partly In Escanaba, Michigan. I Lived Pretty Much All My Teenage Years Up There. I Still Have Family Up There Including My Mom. So I Do Go Up There To Visit Of Course. I Got Drawn Into This Movie And It's Amazing How It Was Actually Filmed In Escanaba. I'm Not A Hunter. But I Liked This Movie. Unfortunately Some People I Know Up There Including My Mom Didn't Like It. They Thought Jeff Daniels Made The Escanaba Towns Folk (Or As I Like To Call Eskimos) Look Like Idiots. But I Thought It Was Okay.
Theres something eerily interesting about the man who plays ranger Tom. The pale complexion combined with the way he flexes those cherry red lips when he sings and speaks just adds volumes
Tomorrow is the start of Muzzleloader season. I'm watching this tonight and its becoming an annual tradition. Watched it last year the night before season opened and got a deer the next morning. 😀
I know what the old man means when he says there’s a stillness quietness at night. I’ve been out hunting before. And at night everything is so strangely quiet and still make it almost touched
I watch this every year, once a day from Nov. 1st to November 14th. Every year I don't watch it, I see nothing. When I do, though, anything with horns 6+ goes down
Check out Frozen Stupid. It features a lot of people from Escanaba, minus Jeff Daniels. It's still pretty entertaining though as long as you don't mind a major dip in budget.
My friend from the UP refuses to watch it. Says it’s making fun of his people. I think he’s crazy! I’m from the Canadian border in NY and can totally relate to this.
@@HolyRomanEmperor90 I come from upstate NY on the Canadian border. It just like being a Yooper up there. They call us rock eaters down in the city. I love it!
Porcupine piss works, at least as a cover scent. Its one of them animals thats normal for deer to smell above them so it works great if you're in an elevated stand.
We Enjoyed This Funderful Movie💯 Jeff Daniels is so Funny🤣 Happy Ending Reuben Bags his Buck🦌🙆♀️Thanks MC 👍 Happy Friday the 13th MC🥳🎉 1/13/23👏👏🇺🇸Ca🌤4:35pm🎶🎵
I first watched this a couple of weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about this movie. Partly because it’s so damn funny. Partly because like halfway through I realized it’s accidentally a Lovecraftian comedy. Love this movie though.
What happens at deer camp...STAYS at deer camp. But at least they were drinking Wisconsin beer... But seriously...I no of no person, living it dead...that I would recommend this movie to... And I thought it was interesting.
How about kids who are at deer camp, the night before opening day? 14 year olds! Thats how i did it! Still took me three years before I got my first buck
My mom shot a thirteen pointer her very first and only year hunting in the mid 1970's. My nephew went deer hunting last year for the first time ever with a borrowed gun. He got a fourteen pointer. I gave him a .270 that I didn't use anymore for his future wife to use. unfortunately they didn't get anything this year. I went two years during high school and didn't go again until I was thirty-two with a guy from work. I shot a spike my second season and got a doe every other year or so. Public land so the hunting sucked
@@shelbyseelbach9568 yes, seriously. About 1000x dumber than dumb and dumber.. There's a reason why this movie wasn't a box office hit. Its extremely low budget with incredibly basic situations and painful dialogue. I actually did compliment the movie and say that it had a couple of funny scenes. If it was a great movie it would have had a larger following.
@@adamr8628 you do realize that this movie was a personal project for Jeff that he wrote himself as a play first. Decided to make it a movie for himself and decided to make about 50 copys for friends. It ended up taking off so they released it. This movie was never meant to be mainstream. And it was never meant for people that don’t understand it or that aren’t from Michigan. To outsiders yea it will look dumb, because 90% of the movie people won’t understand the lingo and hidden dialogue. Judge it as you please… but also understand that this wasn’t meant to be seen by the ones who criticize it. I’m from Michigan, and a hunter, i can say it is one of my all time favorites. You’re not supposed to like it because it wasn’t meant for you
@@panteraa919 I'm a redneck and I can really appreciate a low-budget movie about hunting. I live in the same part of the country.. if that's how it's intended. Or with the backstory that you just said. Everybody judges everything all the time. Whether they realize it or not. You're judging it as one of your all-time favorites. That's also a judgment...... So don't be surprised if people judge things. I have a different view of it now that you explained it.
I don't like Ranger Tom, Jimmer, and Renmar who played by Randy Godwin,Wayne David Parker, and Joe Albright it makes tired by bothering this in my head I pray for the escanaba movie to be removed.I prefer the goonies, who framed roger rabbit and the trilogy hemdale I watched it since I was in my bedroom 😉
I hate Joe Albright,Randy Godwin,and Wayne David Parker.This makes me feel like homesickness 😔 I hope escanaba movie will be removed by the new movies that I bought from the internets

My wife, a 33 yr old yooper, got her first buck this year. I couldn't have been more proud or happy for her. She is no longer the buckless yooper
But does she comb her eyebrows with her toothbrush?
@@drizzache6663 at least she didn’t get to forty tree.

I am from Escanaba. I lived across the street from where they filmed Reubens house and saw them filming some of those scenes. Schools are closed opening day of hunting season in Escanaba.
That's so awesome. Thanks for sharing, ma'am.
They are most areas in the Midwest even in pa from like middle pa up to minisota
It’s called safety day and most schools are closed opening day nothing to be proud of.
Our season started on Saturday so everyone was in school Friday. A school teacher of mine used to take all week off for vacation and the substitute would just show science movies with no homework
My husband would have loved this movie. He might have even stayed awake.

Same
The scene when Reuben bags his first buck always makes me tear up, such a proud and happy moment.
It's funny, but it's also true of when I lived in Michigan, lol. I miss it a lot. My heart will always be in those woods.
This is one of the most radically entertaining guy flicks I ever saw.

We use to watch this every year before deer season while drinking beer 🍺 😅
Same here at deercamp
Me and my brothers get around every year on the 14th of November and watch this and have a good time I always look forward to that time of year
Seven more days!!! Ish
Doing it tonight before opener here in mid Michigan!
Same here me and my boys are in our u.p. deer camp and watching while playing ukre, thankfully the cards haven't turned on us yet! 😂

Still here years later, having a cold one the night before rifle opener here in Michigan. Stay safe out there!
2024 who's here for traditional movie before camp?
Nice to know that after he found his bike, Peewee Herman moved to Michigan and became a DNR Officer.

Michigan dude. Lived here my whole life except 6 military yrs. Vowed I'd never leave and I won't.
Now I remember why I haven't watched this since the theatrical release.
Why?
Bagged a buck my first year carrying a gun, sometimes things just go your way
