My experience last year near Sun Peaks is that it's still freezing just a week or two before the end of the season XD

Penso che avresti dovuta metterla per terra. Il caldo va in alto, quindi ci sara; molta differenza di temperatura alle varie altezze.

Do you hunt on the mainland or just on the island??

Awesome video again Spencer. Too bad you didn't find your deer but that's how she goes sometimes. I know you made a valiant effort. I am just curious, any idea how far the deer had gone from where you shot it to where you saw last blood?

That’s really tough but you gave it a good ethical search. Will you be switching out broadheads for next year?

It seems to me that lack of a blood trail happens more often with bow hunting than with rifle hunting. But I guess every situation is different. It looks like you put in a good effort to try and find it - too bad you didn’t have help.

Another great and humbling video from you sir. I agree, tough not finding animals that you've shot. And the very reason i stopped bow hunting. I get the idea and feeling around bow hunting, but the percentage of lost/recovered animals is not great. Not a debate, just my personal opinion. Keep it up, your videos are awesome ! 🤟

Very well done edit Spencer!

Great video as always buddy…the videography and editing have come leaps and bounds this season. Really enjoying the new content 👌 Tough break on the buck. That’s the unfortunate reality of hunting sometimes. Good on you for showing that side of it. Love that little island though…it’s a special place for sure. 🥃

You need a dog in our jungle for sitiations like that. Better luck next time.

Your going to do better if you put camo gloves and face mask on.

I feel your pain brother. I live in PR & have been hunting 'Fraggle Rock' for over 25 years. The only deer I've lost (so far) was the nicest buck I've ever had a shot at over there about 15 years ago. A nice mature 4 point. It was an easy 75 yard shot across a small swamp with my .270. He didn't know I was there, had time to kneel down & get a rest on small tree. He was right at the tree line on the other side wide open. Found good blood right where he was hit and for about 30 yards going into some hellaciously thick bush. I shot him around 9:30 am & me & 2 buddies spent the rest of the day climbing through that mess to no avail. Love the channel & hope I bump into you over there sometime!

Blacktail hunting is special. Finding a big old Blacktail buck in the woods is like finding a secret lost treasure that no one knows but you. Then to actually harvest that buck is even more difficult and more of a treasure. Miss it!

It was a beautiful video accompanied by lovely music. Thank you for sharing those moments with us.

Rough time losing a buck. That second buck that was bedded in the first bucks bed was a beauty. Nice brows.

Oh man…you know I know that pain. To feel like you’ve done everything right up until it all goes wrong. But you’re right, that’s the reality of hunting sometimes and there are many things out of our control no matter how much time and effort we put into it. Very nice vid, the countdown to spring bear begins!

Very good job.

Where abouts in bc are you from?

good job gents!!! Thanks for NO cheezie music!!!

Great video Spencer! Tree stand hunting in the cold is no joke. In AB I had my stand setup 20 yards from trails just due to trees and it sometimes got me busted. Ideally 30 yards is nice to be able to draw back without being detected.

No thimble?

never seen anybody bait in elk or moose before ,job well done.. Merry Christmas -from the Kootenays

I’ve been bow hunting out of trees in your area for 20 years. How long was your bait out - if no deer in a week you are way off … should be deer hitting it that night or next day for sure. I prefer to hang in confers for cover. If aspen, conifer close behind you to break up outline. I hang at 16-18’ and rarely higher. Sometimes lower if lots of cover. Using a mock scrape will have them coming to your spot regularly without bait. Lots to learn … like your effort

Good on you for trying something new. I have been a tree stand hunter for many years. Never tried the bait thing though. Always just picked a well travelled trail and usually ended up setting up too close . 25 to 30 yards seemed to be the sweet spot. Deer do look up once in a while. I liked to wear a lighter colored camo like Predator or "ASAT". Darker colors seem to look like a Bear in the tree. Also liked to have something to break up my outline behind me and even sometimes in front of me , helps to hide you when you draw your bow.

Respect, both for your bow-hunting efforts, and for building the stand as a temporary structure at the time you're there (as it's supposed to be done). That's a style of stand hunting I can respect. By comparison, out East where I currently live (i.e. western Quebec north of Ottawa), the old curmudgeons claim and assert "ownership" and post long-term "ownership" signs on the provincial Crown land they've built permanent stands on, on every single secondary trail and decommissioned foresty road, and they aggressively push other hunters out, even if those other hunters were there first on a given morning. My son and I, on his very first deer hunt, had 2 old French guys threaten to slash our truck tires if we stayed in the area. And we were there earlier in the day than they were. All of that totally illegal, incidentally. Several criminal offences committed, in fact. Wish we'd gotten them on video. The Province simply doesn't have the resources to fund proper conservation officer patrols. I've never seen a CO patrolling while out hunting here. They instead seem to mainly patrol the main highways for road kill/injured animals. The Eastern woodland forest here is so very dense/thick (i.e. impassable), that the only realistic ways to hunt whitetail deer are either by the old-fashioned method of driven hunting (which would require partners, a plan, and very clear safety parameters), or alternatively, stand hunting. That would sit a lot better with me if just a temporary tree stand as you are doing here, but when it's essentially permanent structures and illegally "claimed" land, it's a disgusting, illegal, and unethical practise. Can't wait to move home to BC southern interior where we belong.

We have no snow yet, here in Montana where I live. It's been a strange December. Beautiful video. Good luck in 2025.

I didn't know squatches could climb trees

Love watching your videos! Iused to hunt in Ireland and the uk but it’s been close to 15 years now since I was last out.Watching your hunts has motivated me to start the process of getting my pal and core courses done and getting back at it! Keep up the great content man.

Does this hurt the animal?

Been hunting moose in bc for 55 yeara ..with my twin brother.... OFTEN ... ONE CALL .and a bull moose starts grunting... of course timing is important many times, I've had two or three moose coming towards me at same time

Good job on the subtitles. Nothing more annoying in a hunting video than to have guys whispering and not being able to make out what they're saying.

Spotting scope setup?

Didn't recognize you on any of the videos from the cameras. There's a couple it didn't look like you saw. Thanks for not messing with the site! Good luck with the stick and string.

Hard to last that time of year and pull back a bow. My favourite hunt was the nov 25-dec10? Mule deer hunt in reg 8, any buck with bow. Still can’t get over it lol

That was great ! I have cameras all over the place, and it would be funny to see something like that. I only ever get the odd person walking past, and they rarely know the camera is there.

What calibre?

One heck of a shot 👍

awesome vidoe brotha. could you make a video regarding late season whitetail e-scouting? thanks!

What region are you from. from Vancouver island hunting ain’t the best here can’t find spots only really go off the island once a year for a group hunt with family

Wow😂 you are so good at installing this little wood stove!! 😊I want you to install one for me in my truckcamper😊😊❤❤ I love it "

Would you share what brand of trail cameras you use?

A shovel is 100% a mandatory tool in BC November Whitetail Hunting 😅 I literally dug myself out for 6 days straight this past week in Kootenays.

Whitetails are always so challenging, especially in the timber in your area. I hunt a very similar spot to the north, and I really do feel so much of it is right place at the right time- then what makes it count is your setup. The deer density is solid! I find it's often that entering my spot to ground call is damn hard to not disrupt a ton of deer. However, ever so often you get an estrus doe roll through and things get real western. Persistence is such a big factor at the end of the day. Good to see you're getting time out there, man.

I’m curious, all the work you put into putting the wood stove in your camper, do u find it to heavy or just a pain in the ass to load up for the weekend

Hell yeah dude, I done this same trip a handful of times and it’s exactly as you described throughout (actually last year was the first year in a while I didn’t go). Really cool to watch your hunt, takes me back. Got me motivated to plan a little jaunt over once it’s bow season again. I’ll keep an eye out for your truck.

u in K town

I recommend you listen to your video with regards to your rattling. It’s too rhythmic. You need to vary the cadence smack then tickle then smack and smack again then small tickles then separate with a clash then stomp or thump them in ground. Pause then tickle slightly then smack then clash then tickle etc. You seem to get into a trance and don’t vary the cadence enough. Just trying to help. Love watching your vids as soon as you post. Keep up the great posts. Plus late in season bucks are on does or looking for them. Try a doe bleat. I recommend rut roar by primos. The Estrous bleat setting worked great for me this year.

The truck starts again! That's good news!

Don’t forget to take snow chains.
