The best TH-cam videos I’ve ever watched. I’m 67 years old and I remember reading the stories in Outdoor Life magazines with stories of Benoit’s. i thoroughly enjoyed watching this 3 part series. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Brother, I enjoyed every minute of this. If I could choose any living deer hunter to spend some time with, it’d be Lanny without a doubt. Such a great project here.
Lanny is a great guy. I met him on several occasions a few times at the northeast snowmobile gras drags in the pits when I was helping a friend who raced. The most memorable was the time I went up to his snowmobile shop in VT. to have some engine work done to a friend's sled & we sat & had pizza & beer with Lanny & Landon & was able to hear some stories 1st hand in person. Lanny is a true Legend.
I feel so bad for people who aren't part of the hunting culture - and I'm referring to the REAL hunters, not the slimy outlaws who ride the roads at night. My Dad took me deer hunting for the first time when I was 7 years old. I'd already been squirrel and dove hunting. I'm 56 years old, and hunting has been part of my life ever since. My son is an excellent hunter, and both my daughters enjoy it too. I use Larry's books to inspire me every year. I've read How to Bag the Biggest Buck of Your Life at least 15 times, and it never gets old. It was great to see Lanny carrying on his dad's legacy. In the SE US we can't hunt like the Benoits did, but we can borrow so many of their lessons. Thanks for this great series of interviews!
Thanks for this 3 part series. I could listen to his stories all day long. Just amazing stuff. And tidbits of deer wisdom just keep falling out of many of those stories
Here it is nearly 3 Am and I am going hunting at 4 am with the muzzleloader, not many days left in our season and honestly I can’t stop watching this interview. It’s really awesome content from a true legend. I live, breath, eat deer hunting and love to still hunt or track when snow andrun em down the issue is trying to get on camera, so like lanny said that’s where sitting helps! Thanks for making this series, Happy Holidays!
I have been following the benoits for 40 years. I have all the books and videos. This is pretty special. Not sure everyone appreciates this but this is awesome. Lanny Benoit is second to none when it comes to deer hunting. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for bringing it!
Thank you, it means a lot to know that folks appreciate this. I think Lanny really enjoyed doing it. I hope to hunt with him sometime this fall, and catch some of that on video.
I watched every minute. I could watch another two hours of this. It really made me miss hunting VT and NH. Its been some years since I hunted up there. Danville VT was my favorite place to hunt
Great series. I can’t imagine being able to sit and talk with Lanny like that. He’s been my hunting idol every since I was a little boy. I’m 45 now. He’s an incredible woodsman and hunter. Good stuff man
Thank you for doing this series with Lanny, I enjoyed every minute of all three episodes and have always had the utmost respect for Lanny and all of the Benoits. I learned to track bucks initially by reading Larry’s book.
Thank you for bringing us such a great interview with a living legend. Hope you get him on again one day. I could listen to you two all day. God bless.
Great series with an interesting guy. Hard to believe that he’s 75 years old. I was born and raised in the Adirondacks and still hunt and guide there. Love to hear the stories. Thanks for doing it and best to you. Keep up the good work.
I started hunting in VT when i was 7 and i hated sitting SO MUCH, when i turned 12 my pops let me start going on my own near the Eden Asbestos mines where we lived and that was it once i started tracking them down, th older guys were amazed i would be out there the longest, walk the farthest, and no matter the weather i was in the woods, and i would come back....I saw 13 deer today...I saw 10 deer today, but i was pretty much chasing them off.....LOL....that taught me how to approach them that last little bit when you can smell them, hear them, or catch a glimpse, I loved it so much, im trying to get my boy into it as much as i was, but times are different now, and there is so much to do for kids today, but hes learning and getting in to it, but he absolutely loves to Fish as well....Good Luck with every thing Lanny!
Glad you posted this video, last time I seen him on tape was another tracker stumbled upon him filming his video. I don't know if he even knew he just ran into possibly the greatest tracker of all time! Met him a few times at the Sportsman show in Worcester glad he's doing well and still hunting. Glad you made the video, even his stories are great to listen to. I seen lots of videos read lots of other trackers books I feel he's the Goat for sure!
Love a good deer hunting story. Thanks The one about the wrong cal shell in Lanny rifle reminds me of the time my great uncle Floid picked up a handfull of 30 30 shells in camp by mistake and loaded up his 32 special with them. He shot them all off at a deer that was in the bottom of a big pothole. All hitting way low. Still makes me smile.
I remember George’s buck because he passed me on 93 south in NH with that thing strapped to the roof of his red Cherokee doing about 80. I followed him off the next exit to the gas station to ask him about it. That was a heck of a deer.
Interesting stories. Not enough snow during most of the deer season to track deer here in the South. You would have to be in great shape and have a good sense of direction to do this type of hunting.
I'd love to have a conversation with either of the brothers left. I would also love to see all the family's mounts and racks in person, any idea what they did with Larry's mounts and racks? Also you should try and get an interview with Shane he's a hell of a hunter too. Thanks for sharing I enjoyed this
Wish I grew up having deer hunting like that. Be really cool having him as a mentor. Are young people still hunting or are the numbers way down? I read in northern Michigan the old deer camps are now nearly empty. Can anyone from US buy and over the counter tag in Ontario or do you have to be guided?
Come to Huntstock August 11-13th this year at Wildwood Farm in Westminster, MA. He will be there with Landon for 3 days doing seminars! www.huntstockevents.com
Man great interview...BUT you must be mindful, YOU should have offered him a beer, you don't wait for someone to ask for it... You dropped the ball on that big time! .
Has Lanny ever hunted around the blueberry fields of Washington county? I was sitting in my stand one day , heard something coming from the swamp and it was a couple old fellas from Vermont wearing wool and carrying rem 7600s who had a camp in Deblois since the 50s, about an hour from the Canadian border. they claimed to know and have hunted with the Benoits
I talked to lane at a sportsman show in NH . I used to hunt Washington county from 87-2003 before I bought my camp in central Maine . Mostly around Wesley and Crawford . Lane said no but he always wanted to because he heard that a lot of deer up there were really heavy and had non typical antlers. Lane was gonna Sheetrock my camp and do a spring turkey video then I heard of his passing. Such a missed opportunity. There whole family are legends .
Shot a buck in Manitoba. Quick kill. Dressed 279. Ya big. Could not even be in the same room trying to cook it. Terrible funny sweet smell similar to doe in heat scent. Yuck.

I’m 67 too and remember all them stories! Lol😊
Lanny's a living legend! Learned so much from him over the years. Love his laid back attitude and passion.

Awesome interview...I have listened to a lot of your hunting videos while processing my buck ...Keep them coming. Lanny Benoit is the man..
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these videos. Absolute legend. If Lanny ever told me to sit there, I wouldn't move.
I had a blast listening to this series. Thank you for the good conversation. I would listen to another 3!!
Some of the best story's are told over a cold beer!!
Watching this series for the 3 rd time now and love every minute of it awesome work

Great 3 part series. What a living legend and humble guy.
A hell of a skeet shooter too! Hi Lanny!! Never could beat him! Loved every minute of shooting with him!
GREATEST DEER TRACKER ALIVE 💯🦌
Definitely enjoyed this series. 👍🏻

Awesome series, thanks for sharing!

This is great, thank you
I could listen all night.
Great series! Wish there was still a spot to buy there hunting videos.
Yep same here I’ve been looking
Fantastic series. Really enjoyed the stories. Reminds me of a dear friend of mine that passed in October. Thanks again
Full respect that was awesome thank you
Fantastic…..thank you
I've used suburbans for years for hunting now. Before that jeeps. Great videos guys. Our rifle season opens this weekend and blackpoweder after that.
I tried to find the words to describe how great this family Is
I remember George’s buck because he passed me on 93 south in NH with that thing strapped to the roof of his red Cherokee doing about 80. I followed him off the next exit to the gas station to ask him about it. That was a heck of a deer.

Great interview. Thank you! What is the book you are looking over?
Hope Lanny comes back.
Great interview
Hope you took Lanny up on his hunting invite.... I would have liked to have heard about his grandfathers history/story.
What was the book they were looking at towards the end
Wish I grew up having deer hunting like that. Be really cool having him as a mentor. Are young people still hunting or are the numbers way down? I read in northern Michigan the old deer camps are now nearly empty. Can anyone from US buy and over the counter tag in Ontario or do you have to be guided?
If you fed him a couple more beers you would have got the good stuff.
I have the original how to bag the biggest buck of your life book from the 70's
Does anyone know if Lanny still holds classes? Hell, I would just love to be in the same room as the legendary man.
Come to Huntstock August 11-13th this year at Wildwood Farm in Westminster, MA. He will be there with Landon for 3 days doing seminars! www.huntstockevents.com
Stress absolutely makes a difference in beef also
Get Shane and maybe Landon too
This guy is funnier than SHIT!.. I laughed my ass off over the Lightning suit part.
Whoever put a thumbs down to this video doesn’t know true legends
So funny my name is just one letter off from Lanny's name, and my dad always called me Lightning Lonny when i was young
Casper the white square body suburban 👍👍👍👍
Man great interview...BUT you must be mindful, YOU should have offered him a beer, you don't wait for someone to ask for it... You dropped the ball on that big time!
.
I offered it to him right at the beginning before we recorded, and he said “Maybe when we get halfway through”.
@@HuntSuburbia OH, I apologize..It was the way he asked for one that made me think that..lol..
I wish a could hunt with him would mean A lot to me

Ask lanny if he remembers joe with the cigar😋
Arent you a delightful watcher

Got one today tennessee 8 not a northern giant but he about made me sick from stinking before I even field dressed I'm about afraid to eat the joker
A fella here near where i live was bird hunting, shot at a bird he thought anyways, and took a bow hunter rite out of the tree! damn Fool!
This guys bullshit is only surpassed by his narcissisom. He be thrown out of most deer camps his first night.
