  • Join us as we delve into the heart of Michigan's Upper Peninsula for our annual pilgrimage to deer camp-a cherished tradition of camaraderie, hunting, and embracing God's country.
    Ben, accompanied by his son, son-in-laws, and nephew, is super excited as they embark on this much-anticipated hunting adventure. This season proved to be exceptional, filled with numerous highs and very few lows. Despite the challenges posed by a declining deer herd, the team managed to score some dandy bucks, reflecting the perseverance and skill honed over the years.
    However, the stark reality of the dwindling deer population remains a cause for concern, attributed largely to over-predation issues, notably the impact of wolves. It's disheartening to witness this decline year after year, prompting a deeper reflection on the delicate balance of the ecosystem and the pressing need for better conservation efforts.
    Amidst these challenges, invaluable experiences were gained by all involved. Each moment in the wilderness offered not just opportunities for hunting but also for learning and adapting to the nuances of nature.

    Finally got the time to sit down and catch up on all these videos that came thru after getting back from the UP myself. Half way back across my phone Finally got signal and the notices went off for a half hour so when I got home there was 62 notices for just RUclips videos. Well congrats on the new camp Ben and crew and congrats on your buck, very well played out by the way, they never had a clue you shot one. We were just south of singleton and 7 guys in camp shot one dandy 10 pointer. It sounded the same camp to camp as far as deer sightings and as the second week went on that's when the deer started to move. OK on to the second part.

    Great video, great camp you got there! Maybe this will be answered in a future video or maybe I missed it during this video, but are there any plans for the old camp? Keep it, sell it, take down the living quarters you have there, or whatever? I'll keep watching and possibly my question will be answered, otherwise, feel free to comment back to me about your plans for the other camp! Also, how far apart are the two camps? Where I hunt we have two places. 80 acres of just hunting land and another 40 acres about half a mile away in another county that has the cabin on it. We hunt the 80 acres more than the 40 but both produce deer.

    Cool stuff,I know how you feel Ben, I tagged out on bucks this year. It was the weirdest feeling. I’m always chasing for a buck in rifle season, well this year shot an 8 10/29 with my bow, another 8 opening day of rifle about 8 am. So from then on it was a doe hunt. It changes your mentality. It was different.i didn’t have the same drive I normally have. I’ve only tagged out 3 times in my life of hunting for 40 years ! Nice 6 Nick!

    Nice buck Nick! That's a nice landing pad for the camp Benny crew. The UP is something special, I spent 5 nights up at the Whitetail Warriors camp. Saw a couple does and heard a few wolves, one was close to Dan and I as we walked out last Wednesday evening. Cant wait to get back up to the UP eh! I still have couple days to fill my tag here in Allegan cty, hoping to drop one.

    Maybe I am the odd man out here but I really liked the old place. Its not on 40 acres but I have a cabin like your new one and I want to get away from the T.V. and all the comforts of home. I started looking for a place to set up something like your old camp to get away from what your new camp is.
    Still, you are all happy with the new camp and I am happy for you. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to more.

    • @campbenny
      @campbenny  10 месяцев назад +1

      I completely understand. I still like the old place too. It was just too tight for me after 20 years. Also, something more desirable for my wife. The TV got old quick especially because my power comes from a loud generator. Still nice to have the option but it probably got used for an hour maybe 2 total in a week. It'd probably get used more if I convert to solar.
