I think all those wolves are doing a job on your deer. I hunted for 10yrs with my dad knowing where we hunted there were very few deer. Then we bought our own property. It didnt matter though. It was all about the fun of being at deer camp with friends and family. Listening to the same old stories every year. It doesnt get any better. It's been about 10yrs since I lost my dad and I haven't hunted since. Just not the same by yourself. Thanks for the video george. Yours and Joe's videos are my hunting camp now. I really appreciate them. Stay safe and healthy.
I know what you're talking about when you lose your dad who taught you how to hunt, why you hunt and what is important about the hunting. I have a good friend, my son and now son-in-law who are my hunting partners now. Glad we can keep the tradition going. Glad you liked the video Todd. Happy Holidays and stay safe.
It so beautiful out there in the woods. I enjoy going on these virtual trip with you and Joe. I feel the same way when I end my hunting season without any deer, it’s not always about the harvest it’s enjoying the outdoors that’s the reward. I myself I’m having a good year. I harvest a doe in bow season and other doe in rifle season. I fill my deer management permit in NYS. Thanks for this great video full of wolf 🐺 😁. Take care and stay safe.
Your pantry is stocked. One more chance as my son will go out with the muzzleloader in a few days. Lots of wolves for sure but what a creature to see in the wild too. Thanks for watching. Stay healthy and safe.
I've never heard of snow fleas, had to look them up right away. You learn something new every day. Thank you for a great video, i really enjoyed watching.
Glad to share something new for you. Just about every season, on a warm day, they appear. If you stop and look close, you can see them jumping, hence the name springtails. You do need to look them up to see a picture to notice the tail because they are so tiny. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video.
Great video! Really enjoyed seeing what you were up to! The shots of the wolves were amazing - not sure what the answer is. I watched Joe's hunt too. Cabin looks great and you and your son made some great memories! Wish you had a video every week! Glad you are enjoying your beautiful cabin! Really enjoyed the pups too! Thank you for taking us along!
You're welcome Elizabeth. It is a fun place to spend time with the dogs, family and friends. I don't think my son would enjoy editing a video every week because of the time involved. Maybe I need to learn the editing part too so we could do a few more at times and get them out quicker. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.
Glad you liked the video. It's not as long as Joe's but you get to see another view of the area we hunt in. Nobody got deer this year but it was still a wonderful time in the woods. Maybe next year we will see more bucks and less wolves. Thanks for watching.
Hello George! Hope you and the family had a good Thanksgiving. I was happy to see you posted your deer camp video, especially after watching Joe’s. Great video of the wolves, but not so great for your hunt. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your videos as always.
Thanks for the comments. I used to think seeing 1 wolf in a season was rare. This year we saw 19 during the season. They are an impressive animal and proficient hunters. I guess we just need to get better than them!! Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays.
That was the longest time I have been able to be in the stand. Being retired allows that to happen. I was hoping to spend less time in the woods because I was planning on getting a chance to harvest a buck. That didn't happen but it was still a great time in the woods.Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.
It was a very busy summer so my son was not able to edit much then. Hopefully he will catch up and get current with videos. Yes all is well. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Kevin. Good luck on the rest of your hunt. My son will do a little muzzleloader hunting near town, not at the cabin. Maybe there will be some venison yet. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the sub Chad. Joe and I are neighbors in the woods. We enjoy keeping track of how things are going when we are at deer camp. Always good to have neighbors you can count on. Thanks for watching.
Glad I found your channel. I enjoy all of Joes videos. That was awesome to have wolf so close . I personally would have rack 1 in its ear hole 🤘 Stay safe & GodBless
After a few years of watching Joe's videos and especially the one where he helped you fix your door I was hoping you too made videos and was lucky enough to find your channel. Here in Kentucky we are harassed by coyotes year round and I can only imagine just how much damage several wolves could be. I enjoy your videos and now have another great channel to follow. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you for finding and watching us. Joe is a good neighbor up in the woods. Wolves are part of the ecosystem and have a place. Sometimes things get out of balance and it might be at that point in our area. Things always have a way of working out so I expect that will be the case here too. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Stay safe and thanks for watching.
Thank you for the comments. We didn't have as much activity as usual on our stands but as you saw, still plenty of things happening with jays, squirrels, wolves and deer that didn't get videoed. For me it is time in the woods shared with family and friends and not so much harvesting a deer. Always next year for that I guess. Thanks for watching.
Thanks camp benny. I was at the cabin this last weekend and had a timber wolf cross the road not far from the cabin. Lots of them in the area and will be tough on the deer herd. Thanks for the sub and glad you liked the video.
Good vid George. I have a friend about 10 mi straight east of you guys. Same story for deer season from them...wolf stampede and few deer seen and no bucks.
Pretty much the story I heard from all the hunters I talked with. A very strange season for the most part. At least we saw a few deer, doe and fawns and few bucks. It will be a couple years before any wolf management plan will happen but likely will go back to the courts I'm thinking when someone files a suit . Thanks for watching.
Hi George: another viewer from Joe. Nice to see you guys using Torx drive screws instead of the ubiquitous (and crappy) Phillips. Enjoyed the video. I hope you film your winter visits up there.
Once I found the torx screws years ago I never purchased anything else. As they say, Work smarter, not harder! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the deer hunting vlog George. The wolf density in your area is crazy. We hunt 100 miles NW of you and have only seen 1 wolf in the past 40+ years.
They have increased significantly over the last 3-4 years. Until then I think I had only seen 2 wolves up there since we started hunting there in 1997. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks hunt4fish. I like it up at the cabin. Built my place in 79-80, so 40 years ago! Where does the time go. More wolves than I have ever seen during that time. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays.
Famous words of the hunter: "I'll get them next year!" Plan is to be out in the woods again next season and seeing what adventures we will have. Glad you liked the video. Happy Holidays.
Greetings from New Hampshire George. Great video. Thankfully we don’t have wolves here but, our coyotes are large and have 25% wolf dna in them. Tell me about the birch bark canoe on the wall? Did you make it or who was the maker?
I don't think the coyote does as much to the deer as wolves can. Of course where wolves are, the coyotes aren't because wolves drive them out of the area, at least around here. The canoe was made by a man named Bill Hafeman many years ago. My dad bought it from him one day when Bill stopped at our home when I was a kid. A good friend of mine was a summer intern for Bill and learned the craft working with him all summer that year. I stopped to visit during that summer and ended up buying a cedar paddle Bill was just finishing making. That canoe in the cabin is an exact replica of the big ones they made and sold. I believe his granddaughters husband might still be making birchbark canoes on the same homestead but in a newer shop then the one I visited. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Bart. Catching up on videos from the summer when things were busy. Hopefully we can get current with things. We wanted to get the deer camp video up and then will go back and catch up with others. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Craig. Amazing when you think about it to be able to share our experience around the world. 8 degree F here this morning so no summer for us here but a mild winter so far. Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.
Greetings from southern Ontario, George! The wolves look pretty healthy and are probably keeping the deer population down. I’m guessing that they were introduced to the area and are a protected species until there’s too many of them? Thanks for sharing with us. John
The wolves are natural to the area and not introduced. They have been there for centuries. They are protected for the time being but have been taken off the endangered species list but I expect a law suit to happen to try protect them again. The state will manage them if the law doesn't revert back. The pack of 11 that came by me did indeed look in good shape. One had a radio collar on it, the white one in the video. Thanks for watching.
I've been watch Joe's channel since early 2015!:) Then discovered your channel in 2016! Do keep your little lake a 'secret'!:) There are more than 10,000 lakes in MN, I don't think they'll miss it... I think that the DNR should begin to cull some of the wolf packs, but that's only my opinion. Semper Fidelis
Thanks Andrew. Definitely a lot of wolves in our area, more than we have ever seen in the past. If a new law suit isn't filed in Minnesota to protect them I think the state will put another plan together to manage them. We'll see what happens. Happy Holidays and thanks for watching.
I thought Minnesota said they would not have a hunt this year. I just saw on the news tonight that Wisconsin would have one this fall but reduce the quota this year because they had some much success last winter. I will have to watch what Minnesota is doing then. Thanks for the heads up.
They went by about 20 yards from me after I stopped moving to get the earlier shots of them on camera. I don't think I would have any problems with them if I had gotten a buck. They are still very wary of people and gun shots in their area. Yes the cabin is a very nice retreat for us. Hard to believe it has been 40 years since I built the first part of the log cabin. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video.
Son, son-in-law and friend at the deer camp right now. It is a good group of guys who are serious about hunting and safe too.Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
Todd the racks that are outside on the woodshed and the cabin were all from my dad, ones he saved over the years. When he passed away I brought them to the cabin and put them up there. I do have several racks on the wall in the back porch, most form the hunts at the cabin. Maybe I can do a video on those when I am at the cabin on one of the trips. Sounds like a fun video to do. Thanks for the idea.
Today they said the WI harvest was up from last year. Maybe they hit the rut better than we did since we never saw bucks following the doe. Still enjoyable to be out in the woods. Thanks for watching Scott.
It was $110/cord delivered so $550. I split a semi load with my neighbor so it is worth it for the logger to bring a load to the cabin. Not many loggers left that do firewood these days so always a challenge to find the wood. I prefer the maple over birch which is the other hardwood in the area. Birch gives off more creosote than maple and must be cut up quick or it will start to break down in a short time and start to get punky. Thanks for watching.
Oh Tom never underestimate a man possessed to get the job done! My son keeps saying :" Dad you need more action shots." I guess I need to work on that. Thanks for watching.
I told joe how to make 7 tag soup. He should do a video making it. It would be kinda funny. Use 2 pots. One for the tags the other for the soup. People would think u really made it and ate it. Lol good luck
That would be funny. My son is muzzleloader hunting now with a week to go in that season so still a chance to get a deer yet this season. It has been a nice fall for sitting since the temps have been mild compared to some years. Maybe we can still avoid tag soup this year! Thanks for watching.
They are my favorite bird in the woods asa well as the chickadees. Not many birds will feed out of your hand like they will. Sure lets you see how birds survive in the wild. Thanks for watching.
We hunt in northeast Minnesota. We do not have the best habitat in our region and usually get tough winters. All this affects the deer populations as well as the wolves. The environment is always in transition. Thanks for the sub and watching the video.
Yes there was at least one with a collar and possibly a second one. Not always easy to see when they are moving through the woods like that. Thanks for watching.
No wolves are protected in Minnesota for the time being. That may change now that the wolves have been removed for the endangered species list. The state might manage them again if a law suit isn't filed to change that. I expect that to happen so we'll see what the future brings. Thanks for watching.
We started hunting there in 1997. My dad passed away in April of 97, so Tom and I started hunting at my cabin that fall. We have sure seen changes over the years, colder in the early years, more snow then, more deer then and a lot less wolves. It is still a good place to spend the fall in the woods. Thanks for the question.
@@living_north I used to hunt in Ontario not too far from where you guys are. similar changes there. more wolves less deer, although in 2007, they had the largest deer herd in years.
@@SuperSlappy25 Between the tough winters over the last few years and the increase in wolves, the deer herd has taken a pretty good beating. I think the winters cause the greatest mortality in deer but the wolves play a pretty big part too. I agree that in 2007 the deer herd was much larger. It will continue to fluctuate up and down over time unless something strange happens.
Yes I'm Joe's neighbor at the lake, George. Not his dad although several people have mentioned that. Joe's dad and I are the old guys up there so maybe that is why we sound similar. Thanks for watching.
There are definitely a lot of them in the area. The state might put together a management plan in the future but for now, they are protected. Time will tell I guess. Thanks for watching.
We don't have a lot of obvious deer trails in our thick woods like a lot of places have. I do cut smaller evergreens and brush to open things up a bit but have only done shooting lanes by a couple stands in the past. Deer seem to wander through the woods where we are more than follow trails so that is why I don't do many shooting lanes. Thanks for watching.
George, if you don't start killin' a lot of those Wolves, deer huntin like you knew it will be over. Think Crossbow and a shovel. Thats a bad Wolf situation you have there. Good luck.
The wolves are now off the endangered species list so we'll see what the state decides to do to manage them. As of now, they cannot be hunted but that might change. The state says there are approximate 3000 wolves in the state. I think the number is actually 2-3 times that. If the wolves are managed and we have a few mild winters, the deer numbers will increase significantly. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Push your legislators to open a season on the wolves now that they are delisted. Why bother to go out when you have that many wolves? That was 264 dead and consumed deer that ran by, not 11 wolves. Probably safe to say they likely have wiped out your square mile and the nine square miles around you. Beautiful place but holy crap, talk about an exercise in futility.
I'm sure the politicians will have plenty of meetings over the next months and years on how to best manage the wolf population. But I also expect a law suit to be filed to put the wolf back on the list of protected animals. In the meantime we spend our time in the woods waiting for the buck to walk by. Thanks for watching.
I think we saw around 28 deer and 19 wolves this season. I used to think seeing 1 wolf in a season was something. Things have changed for the time being. Maybe the state will manage them again since they were removed from the endangered species list. I expect a law suit to come to protect them again. Time will tell. Thanks for watching.

Great video thanks for sharing I am glad you had a great time.
Sorry to hear that you guys didn't harvest some venison , but the solitude and comradery of Deer Camp is a souvenir to cherish always.
Yes Marc that is so true. Thanks for watching the video of our time at the cabin. Had a great time in the woods.
Glad you got to enjoy the whole time up there even without any deer George, maybe next year.
That was the longest time I have been able to be in the stand. Being retired allows that to happen. I was hoping to spend less time in the woods because I was planning on getting a chance to harvest a buck. That didn't happen but it was still a great time in the woods.Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.

It was a very busy summer so my son was not able to edit much then. Hopefully he will catch up and get current with videos. Yes all is well. Thanks for watching.
You weren't kidding, y'all have too many wolves in the area. Enjoyed the video. You have a beautiful place up there.
Thanks Kevin. Good luck on the rest of your hunt. My son will do a little muzzleloader hunting near town, not at the cabin. Maybe there will be some venison yet. Happy Holidays!
@@living_north Happy Holidays to you all too. Wish Stephen (spelling) the best of luck for me.

I was wondering if that was one of his boats. I have a book about him and some of the boats. Keep it safe!! It’s beautiful.
Wisconsin wolf hunt just got approved for 2021. Hoping they set a harvest at 1000 minimum.
Love the shots of they snowy forest! Hoping for a decent winter down south. Great video
Thanks for the comments. 8 degrees here this morning but no snow coming in the next week. We'll see how the winter treats us. Thanks for watching.
Good to see you back
Thanks Bart. Catching up on videos from the summer when things were busy. Hopefully we can get current with things. We wanted to get the deer camp video up and then will go back and catch up with others. Thanks for watching.
Love your uploads so relaxing cheers brother. Greetings from Victoria Australia, first day of summer here.

Thanks Craig. Amazing when you think about it to be able to share our experience around the world. 8 degree F here this morning so no summer for us here but a mild winter so far. Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed, thanks. Hope the wolves more on
If they run out of food they will, but until then I expect to see them in our area. Thanks for watching Todd.

Our pleasure. Glad you liked the video. Happy Holidays and stay safe!
Thanks for sharing george 👍
Our pleasure matthew. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
Wow George they were close to your stand, if you had managed to get a buck do you think the wolves would have tried to make off with it ?
They went by about 20 yards from me after I stopped moving to get the earlier shots of them on camera. I don't think I would have any problems with them if I had gotten a buck. They are still very wary of people and gun shots in their area. Yes the cabin is a very nice retreat for us. Hard to believe it has been 40 years since I built the first part of the log cabin. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video.
Thank you for a great video. Do you have other family that hunts with you?
Son, son-in-law and friend at the deer camp right now. It is a good group of guys who are serious about hunting and safe too.Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
You have a beautiful cabin up there
Thank you Amanda. Its a simple but wonderful place to spend time
Beautiful country
I agree. As crazy as 2020 has been, time in the outdoors has a way of calming things down. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
love the video God bless and keep the videos coming
Thank you Tommy. Appreciate you spending time with us. Happy Holidays.
Very nice.
Good job!
Thanks Trey. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.
George, are all the deer racks at your cabin from around there? Can you share the more memorable stories behind them?
Todd the racks that are outside on the woodshed and the cabin were all from my dad, ones he saved over the years. When he passed away I brought them to the cabin and put them up there. I do have several racks on the wall in the back porch, most form the hunts at the cabin. Maybe I can do a video on those when I am at the cabin on one of the trips. Sounds like a fun video to do. Thanks for the idea.
@@living_north Looking forward to that video.
COOL I NEED TO WATCH JOE last hunt great job
I won't spoil it for you by giving anything away on Joe. Great time in the woods. Thanks for watching.
@@living_north I HAD ALREADY WATCHED his
I'm looking forward to next season's deer season as well I'm planning to possibly hunt hayward wi
Today they said the WI harvest was up from last year. Maybe they hit the rut better than we did since we never saw bucks following the doe. Still enjoyable to be out in the woods. Thanks for watching Scott.
@@living_north No, rut had nothing to do with your situation, your deer are wiped out.
So I assume there isn't a season on wolves there, when you see more wolves then deer there is a serious problem
No season on wolves. They are still protected for now. See if that changes anytime soon. Thanks for watching.
How much do you pay for 5 cords of maple logs delivered.
It was $110/cord delivered so $550. I split a semi load with my neighbor so it is worth it for the logger to bring a load to the cabin. Not many loggers left that do firewood these days so always a challenge to find the wood. I prefer the maple over birch which is the other hardwood in the area. Birch gives off more creosote than maple and must be cut up quick or it will start to break down in a short time and start to get punky. Thanks for watching.
George do you have any footage of you cutting the wood ? I don’t believe you cut all that up in 6seconds Lol
Oh Tom never underestimate a man possessed to get the job done! My son keeps saying :" Dad you need more action shots." I guess I need to work on that. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Looked like a highway with all those wolves..
Enjoyed the video. What state is the cabin located? I'm in CT and was thinking it was Maine possibly?
This is northern Minnesota but very similar terrain as Maine. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
I told joe how to make 7 tag soup. He should do a video making it. It would be kinda funny. Use 2 pots. One for the tags the other for the soup. People would think u really made it and ate it. Lol good luck
That would be funny. My son is muzzleloader hunting now with a week to go in that season so still a chance to get a deer yet this season. It has been a nice fall for sitting since the temps have been mild compared to some years. Maybe we can still avoid tag soup this year! Thanks for watching.
Love the grey jays!!
They are my favorite bird in the woods asa well as the chickadees. Not many birds will feed out of your hand like they will. Sure lets you see how birds survive in the wild. Thanks for watching.
Hey george, just subed, great video!! Where about in Minnesota do you hunt? I’m over in the UK.
We hunt in northeast Minnesota. We do not have the best habitat in our region and usually get tough winters. All this affects the deer populations as well as the wolves. The environment is always in transition. Thanks for the sub and watching the video.
Nice log cabin.
It is a very nice retreat in the woods. Hard to believe I built it 40 years ago. Where does the time go. Thanks for watching.
I see a collar on the first wolf
Yes there was at least one with a collar and possibly a second one. Not always easy to see when they are moving through the woods like that.
Thanks for watching.
I watch Joe's channel all the time are hunt on ya'll own property or public land?
This is all federal, public land so not much private land in the area. Thanks for watching.
Don, are you not allowed to shoot wolves?
No wolves are protected in Minnesota for the time being. That may change now that the wolves have been removed for the endangered species list. The state might manage them again if a law suit isn't filed to change that. I expect that to happen so we'll see what the future brings. Thanks for watching.
So pretty up there. Sure have a lot of wolves this year.
Yes to both of your comments Jo. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
George, how long have you guys been hunting this area? Thanks.
We started hunting there in 1997. My dad passed away in April of 97, so Tom and I started hunting at my cabin that fall. We have sure seen changes over the years, colder in the early years, more snow then, more deer then and a lot less wolves. It is still a good place to spend the fall in the woods. Thanks for the question.
@@living_north I used to hunt in Ontario not too far from where you guys are. similar changes there. more wolves less deer, although in 2007, they had the largest deer herd in years.
@@SuperSlappy25 Between the tough winters over the last few years and the increase in wolves, the deer herd has taken a pretty good beating. I think the winters cause the greatest mortality in deer but the wolves play a pretty big part too. I agree that in 2007 the deer herd was much larger. It will continue to fluctuate up and down over time unless something strange happens.
@@living_north Won't be long and you will have a wolf season. You can buy a tag in Ontario separate from your deer tag.
Just realized who you are. I think you are George that Joe talks about. You sound like Joe’s dad. Am I correct ?
Yes I'm Joe's neighbor at the lake, George. Not his dad although several people have mentioned that. Joe's dad and I are the old guys up there so maybe that is why we sound similar. Thanks for watching.
Need to thin out those wolves !!!!
There are definitely a lot of them in the area. The state might put together a management plan in the future but for now, they are protected. Time will tell I guess. Thanks for watching.
Why don't you all dont cut shooting lanes by your deer hunting stands?
We don't have a lot of obvious deer trails in our thick woods like a lot of places have. I do cut smaller evergreens and brush to open things up a bit but have only done shooting lanes by a couple stands in the past. Deer seem to wander through the woods where we are more than follow trails so that is why I don't do many shooting lanes. Thanks for watching.
George, if you don't start killin' a lot of those Wolves, deer huntin like you knew it will be over. Think Crossbow and a shovel. Thats a bad Wolf situation you have there. Good luck.
The wolves are now off the endangered species list so we'll see what the state decides to do to manage them. As of now, they cannot be hunted but that might change. The state says there are approximate 3000 wolves in the state. I think the number is actually 2-3 times that. If the wolves are managed and we have a few mild winters, the deer numbers will increase significantly. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Push your legislators to open a season on the wolves now that they are delisted. Why bother to go out when you have that many wolves? That was 264 dead and consumed deer that ran by, not 11 wolves. Probably safe to say they likely have wiped out your square mile and the nine square miles around you. Beautiful place but holy crap, talk about an exercise in futility.
I'm sure the politicians will have plenty of meetings over the next months and years on how to best manage the wolf population. But I also expect a law suit to be filed to put the wolf back on the list of protected animals. In the meantime we spend our time in the woods waiting for the buck to walk by. Thanks for watching.
Too many wolves, SSS
I think we saw around 28 deer and 19 wolves this season. I used to think seeing 1 wolf in a season was something. Things have changed for the time being. Maybe the state will manage them again since they were removed from the endangered species list. I expect a law suit to come to protect them again. Time will tell. Thanks for watching.
