Glad to see everyone decided to head back to home and play it safe, hard decisions to make but they were the right ones. I commented on the last video of my buddies dad getting sick the second day and ended up in Marquette hospital, well since then he's taken a turn for the worse and he's been in the hospital going on 21 days now and they had to put him on a breathing machine this past Tuesday so with that being said we hope him all the best and asking for a few more prayers from the other hunting families and the other praying warriors out there will help tremendously. Be safe out there fellas.
Yeah I'm so glad my brother talked me into going home sooner rather than later. I'll admit I wasn't looking forward to the 500 mile ride home at the time.. Absolutely will include your buddies dad in our daily prayers for a complete recovery. Sorry to hear that he had to go on a breathing machine. Take care Bill and please update us when you can on how we can continue to pray for your buddies dad.
Bill Wiehl a prayer wild be said tonight for your buddies dad ! Sounds like our hunting season last year when 6 of the 9 hunters in our camp went home sick ! Seemed odd with 3 in camp opening week ! Never in my 47 year career have we only had 3 in camp ! Prayers heading your way for a recovery of your friends dad !
@@campbenny Well here it is almost a month later and I appreciate all those whom kept my buddies dad in there thought and prayers and for the ones who knew whom we all called Cowboy has passed away Friday morning in Marquette hospital after almost two weeks on a ventilator. He will be watching over all of us from now on up in the U.P. where he loved to be. He will be missed.
Thanks buddy !👍🏻 We are all nearly 100%. The younger guys breezed through it. Us middle aged guys alittle longer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
I enjoy your videos. I’ve had some friends die from Covid so I’m glad you came thru it. Our 62 year old deer camp we split up the past two Covid years. My son and I who each took Covid seriously stayed in my cabin, the 3 others that didn’t take it seriously or didn’t believe in it stayed at a resort cabin. One of them tested positive the day before the season and still came up but was too sick to hunt. He’s having long term lung problems. Hopefully our Suicide Swamp Camp is fully staffed for the 2022 season. Good luck!
Glad to see your doing okay!! Enjoy watching your videos. Watching your Part 1 video, and getting to the end, the way you were talking I was wondering if you had gotten the virus. Thank God that you are better, and from everything I heard, it takes a while to recoup from it. Looking forward to any videos you put out. Sorry that your trip was cut short, but understand that if your not feeling well it is better to get home. We spent 9 days on our mountain in the Monongahela National Forest in Greenbrier County, WV for our firearm season, which opened on November 22nd. We all had a great time and made some good memories at our deer camp. Take care of yourself and will keep an eye out for more videos. Juddie - J & J TOA
You've got an awesome setup at your camp there in WV buddy ! 👍🏻 Great to hear that your days were fun filled on the mountain. Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. It's greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you !!
@@campbenny same to you Benny, really enjoy watching your videos. Take care of yourself and hope you and yours have a very enjoyable Christmas and a Happy New Year. Juddie - J & J TOA
Glad to hear your getting well bud. I had same stuff during the month of September I was down the whole month. Not fun at all. Get well, just think the younger ones will b bigger next year. Lol. Take care.
Hey Benny there is always next year. Our blessings are to see another morning and season. Get better and enjoy ur holidays. Next year will be a year to remember to make up for this year. Glad ur ok
Glad to see you're feeling better I enjoy your videos. What I enjoy most about your videos you get your family and friends involved awesome memories. I know how you feel about your hunting season I started off great with a 10-point and an eight-point. A few days later I suffered a knee injury at work and had to have surgery it really bums you out when you enjoy being outdoors. About 4 weeks after surgery I hobbled out to my pop-up blind and ended up feeling my doe tag. My wife and son help me finish my season which I will never forget. I am also a Michigan Hunter I believe our harsh environments in the cold weather make us stronger. Keep up the awesome work I have a really good feeling next year will be even better for all of you!!!
Congrats on your success this season buddy! Hope you are fully recovered from your surgery now. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!!
Appreciate your prayers brother !! We almost have it completely behind us now. Getting better by the day. In fact, I am planning on giving it a try sitting back up a in stand tomorrow evening. I've got a couple of helpers that will be there to give me a hand if I happen to connect. Can't wait! I've been couped up for too long.
We usually have a Honda generator that we run on the final evening and hook plug the trailer right into it so lights and outlets have power. The majority of the week everything is powered off of deep cycle batteries. Thanks for watching and hope you've had a great season ! 👍🏻
Always man you guys remind me of the deer camp stories I heard when I was a little kid about the 50s to the early 90s from my great-grandfather an uncles an so on U keep posting videos I'll be there to watch Good luck late season down below
glad to see your improving. thats a bummer, but it could have been worse for ya. good thing is you had a great season up till then, and your not laying in a hospital right now. take it easy buddy still praying for you.
You're absolutely right. Appreciate the prayers very much. I am planning on giving it a try in a stand tomorrow night. I have some good help if I were to connect. Can't wait to get out !!
Sorry you got sick Ben. Glad you went home when you did. I shot a buck opening day 2020, caught Covid the next day. Missed 21 days of season, had to hunt from shooting house rest of the season. Took quite awhile to get back to normal. Thank God you are doing well. Be patient take it slow , Get well. Hope you get in a few days hunting but if not, there’s next season .
Oh man so you know pretty much exactly what we just went through. Glad you were able to put a buck down before you were hit with it last season. We're doing so much better now. In fact, I'm going to finally try hopping up in a stand again tomorrow evening. Can't wait ! Merry Christmas Buddy!
@@campbenny good luck! I forgot to mention my first day back in woods after Covid I shot another 8 point buck! If you’re like I was, you may experience shortness of breath and accelerated heart rate under exertion. However I think getting back in woods and pushing myself a little really helped the speed of my recovery . I bet your 350 legend gets a chance tomorrow ! Merry Christmas! Take Care!
Thanks for part 2 Benny but more thankful that you are feeling better!! You need to just take it easy which isn't to easy for a hardcore deer hunter during deer season. You got a nice one in Arkansas so you got venison. We will keep you in our prayers and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for your encouragement buddy! Appreciate the prayers. I'm tentatively planning on climbing back into a stand tomorrow evening. I have lots of help if I need it (gutting, dragging, tracking, etc). Merry Christmas!
Thank you brother! Working hard to get back to 100% Not much further to go. Feels good to be getting some time back in the woods again. Hope you had a great season Steve ! 👍🏻
Glad to hear that you are feeling better and on the mend. It is through the low times that we appreciate so much more better times. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.
Sorry to say but heated blinds with windows are a hunt saver for our camp. Even some pop up blinds with heaters will make a all day sit easy and comfortable. We have love our tree stands, but its cold out and being sick calls for some warm blinds with soft chairs and hot coffee lol. Hope all you guys got better fast and had some hunt time back home.
Just means you have to hit the offseason habitat stuff even harder in 2022 to make next years opener the best ever! Thanks for sharing your seasons with us, its appreciated!
Thanks buddy !👍🏻 We are all thru it now and finally able to put it behind us. Sorry to hear it hit you so hard as well. Glad you are now on the mend too. I'm going to give er' a whirl in the stand tomorrow night. Can't wait to get out! Merry Christmas bud!
Happy to hear you are on the mend, this season was a real heart breaker for you guys, but probably a wise decision to go home early. You have a really great group of hunting buddies and next year will be that much more appreciated after this year’s events. Thanks for taking the time to make a part 2. Merry Christmas and god bless. Regards Mark
just came a cross your channel sorry some of you guys was not feeling well hope you all are feeling better grate videos!! Marry Christmas to your family from my family
David, I'm so sorry for your loss of your mother in law and her husband. I will add your family to our prayer list. That's a really tough loss. Thanks so much for sharing and for your supportive comment. Merry Christmas brother !!
Dang Ben tough break, I'm so glad to hear the Lord is healin you! I got the Rona last year and again thank God It wasn't to severe, a fee night sweats, a stuffy nose and fatigue fer bout a week then I was fine. God Bless you and yer's bud!
Great to hear you went through it so well buddy. Praise the Lord for that ! I'm gaining strength every day buddy. Won't be much longer and I should be 100% again.
Glad your doing better and your bout with covid wasn't worse! No doubt the camp would have put some deer on the pole! You have venison in the freezer from past fun successful hunts so that's a plus! Always enjoy camp Benny videos! Here's to a healthy, safe and prosperous 2022!
Thanks Mark !! Really appreciate it buddy. You're absolutely right and I am greatful that I had a good jump start on filling my freezer so I don't have to rush into buying any beef, etc.. Merry Christmas !
It might be time to build a few good blinds with windows. We sit all day and are comfortable. I used to just sit on a bucket or stump but I would get wet. We get more deer now because it’s more hours in the woods. I hope 2022 is good for Camp Benny.
you left out some info......had you been vaccinated.....did you give it to the rest of the guys..did they give it to you....glad your on the mend,,try do a little more each day.
Know the pain Ben. I got sick on the 16th and haven't been in the woods since. Week long hospital stay after Thanksgiving, but on the mend now. Hoping to get out for some late season action as my strength returns.
Oof ! Sorry to hear that brother. Rough stuff. I'm hoping to hop up in a stand for the first tomorrow evening. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for watching and will pray for a full recovery for you. Take care !
Sorry to hear how it went this year at your deer camp with the sickness but that is one of those things that is very hard to control no matter how hard you try. I know I had some down time this fall as well. All we can do is hope and pray it goes better next year. I would like to thank you and all the camp members for making these video's for our viewing pleasure especially given the circumstances. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!
Too bad you got sick man. Hope you're feeling better. I actually got my positive test result last year on opening morning while I was in the stand. For me it was 2 days of allergy like symptoms so I just stayed at camp, solo for the entire 9 day season. Crazy how this thing can affect people so differently. Get well man, looking forward to many more of your videos! Jeremy from MN
You're so right. My wife and kids seemed to breeze through compared to me. Not knowing I had covid, I think I may have mostly just over done it and paid a price for that. Oh well, I'm putting it behind me know and am seriously considering hopping up in a stand for tomorrow evening's sit. I need to get outdoors. Take care buddy and I hope you had a great 2021 season !
Well Benny I’m glad your starting to feel better! I will be getting in the deer stand finally next weekend! This has been one messed up hunting season! Want to congratulate you on your Arkansas buck that was a dandy! Well good luck to you the rest on the hunting season, and you and your Family have a merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks Dave and Merry Christmas to you buddy !👍🏻 I am planning on finally hopping into a stand tomorrow evening. I can't wait !! Btw...I just got my Arkansas and Michigan 2021 euro bucks hung up on the wall yesterday. They will serve as great reminders for each of those adventures for many years to come. Take care my friend.
Thanks for watching buddy !👍🏻 Nick is my nephew (my oldest brother's son). He's Ben Jr and Brody's oldest cousin. If you recall Luke in the past few seasons in the videos....he and Nick are brothers. Hopefully that wasn't super confusing. lol. Hope you had a great season and Merry Christmas!!
Sorry to see everybody was feeling sick that makes for a tough season, Glad you’re feeling better though. Look at the bright side next year those deer will be a little bit bigger. Have a Merry Christmas guys !!
The best to you guys with the COVID sickness….I’ve been so lucky here in Northern Michigan…no sickness from COVID…..never missed a days work sence the pandemic..started in late winter 2020….as of this time..sounds like Michigan is a big “hot spot” for COVID……..Whitmore will protect you ..guys..she’s my hero…
Sorry to hear your misfortune… remember, good things happen to good people… you and your family/friends are good people… Keep the videos coming… great channel… Go Blue from Asheville, NC
Hey fellas....to the guy in the video towards the end that was freezing in the stand...get yourself a HEATER BODY SUIT...trust me on this..best piece of gear i own other than my rifle...
@@campbenny I swear by them...you will not be disappointed...ive shot many deer and ive never missed a deer while wearing the suit meaning they dont restrict any movement at all to unzip and to make the shot...and on a plus...they hide alot of movement..i bet ive recommended this suit over the last 10 years more than i can remeber but to the 9 people that has purchased a suit because of my word...also say there awesome...and there customer service is great as well..damn you would think the pay me for being a hype person for them ....lol.. by the way im also from Michigan ..
@@wldtrke yeah they should have you on commission! lol. My only concerns were if it is annoying to lug around and is it fairly easy to deploy in a single man ladder stand.
@@campbenny ive got the biggest one they make..and i roll mine up to approximately 18/20 in wide x 14 in diameter...and just strap it on my backpack..i hump it on up the mountain 2.3 plus miles..no problem..well its alot easier putting on while on ground or in box blind..but my opinion it does feel weird putting on while up in a tree..so i recommend when doing so...to do it while sitting once legs are in zip up to thigh and put the elastic straps over shoulders then your good to stand up and zip on up then sit back on down

no power source to deer camp , inverter or generator , a 2500 watt should work well for lights
We usually have a Honda generator that we run on the final evening and hook plug the trailer right into it so lights and outlets have power. The majority of the week everything is powered off of deep cycle batteries. Thanks for watching and hope you've had a great season ! 👍🏻
@@campbenny every thought of trying some solar for the lights?
What away way to wake this morning with a little camp Benny 🏕

Want to congratulate you on your Arkansas buck that was a dandy! Well good luck to you the rest on the hunting season, and you and your Family have a merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks Dave and Merry Christmas to you buddy !👍🏻 I am planning on finally hopping into a stand tomorrow evening. I can't wait !! Btw...I just got my Arkansas and Michigan 2021 euro bucks hung up on the wall yesterday. They will serve as great reminders for each of those adventures for many years to come. Take care my friend.
Nice to see you are getting better. That Covid is nothing to mess with for sure. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family!
Merry Christmas Buddy !
Good to hear your doing better ! Look forward to seeing your videos every year ! Is nick related to you guys?
Thanks for watching buddy !👍🏻 Nick is my nephew (my oldest brother's son). He's Ben Jr and Brody's oldest cousin. If you recall Luke in the past few seasons in the videos....he and Nick are brothers. Hopefully that wasn't super confusing. lol. Hope you had a great season and Merry Christmas!!
@@campbenny yep I remember know.. we had a good successful year in Luce county this year for our camp . Rare but we got it done haha. Happy holidays
Sending prayers to you and the family Benny. Love the videos. Get well soon.
Appreciate your prayers Gerald. Thanks for watching and hope you are having a great season !! 👍🏻
Did you guys have the dang covid? I had it in September
Unfortunately, yes. The younger guys breezed right through it. Hit me and Chris a little harder.
Sorry to see everybody was feeling sick that makes for a tough season, Glad you’re feeling better though. Look at the bright side next year those deer will be a little bit bigger. Have a Merry Christmas guys !!
Merry Christmas Buddy ! Thanks for all of your kind words.
Good to see you’re feeling better. Sorry camp was rough for you guys. Merry Christmas to all.
Merry Christmas buddy ! Thanks for watching
Glad to see you are feeling better! Hopefully you can get out there before the end of season
I think I'm going to get my first sit in for the evening hunt tomorrow. Can't wait.
Hey, look in the bright side you’ll have even bigger deer next year. Have a great Christmas Benny!😊
Right on! Thanks for watching buddy and Merry Christmas !!
Ben….we’re you vaccinated this last year ..with all the shots…just curious…..
The best to you guys with the COVID sickness….I’ve been so lucky here in Northern Michigan…no sickness from COVID…..never missed a days work sence the pandemic..started in late winter 2020….as of this time..sounds like Michigan is a big “hot spot” for COVID……..Whitmore will protect you ..guys..she’s my hero…
Nope, I wasn't. Thanks for watching Eric !
I lost 20 pounds last year when I had Covid. When I got my taste and smell back, I found 22. LOL
Glad to hear you're doing better.
lol ! I definitely got my appetite back. I'll be sure to gain it back with moderation. Thanks buddy !👍🏻
Sorry to hear your misfortune… remember, good things happen to good people… you and your family/friends are good people…
Keep the videos coming… great channel… Go Blue from Asheville, NC
Go Blue !!!! Thanks for watching buddy and your encouragement !! 👍🏻 Hope you are having a great season in NC !
Covid
Thanks for watching and good luck this season 👍🏻
Bummer when a sickness hits the camp! We had the same thing happen to us in our camp in 2020! Go check out our deer camp video “Camp Covid”
Hey fellas....to the guy in the video towards the end that was freezing in the stand...get yourself a HEATER BODY SUIT...trust me on this..best piece of gear i own other than my rifle...
We've been eyeballing those for awhile. Nice to hear hunters like you saying they work well. Thanks for the input bud and Merry Christmas!👍🏻
@@campbenny I swear by them...you will not be disappointed...ive shot many deer and ive never missed a deer while wearing the suit meaning they dont restrict any movement at all to unzip and to make the shot...and on a plus...they hide alot of movement..i bet ive recommended this suit over the last 10 years more than i can remeber but to the 9 people that has purchased a suit because of my word...also say there awesome...and there customer service is great as well..damn you would think the pay me for being a hype person for them ....lol.. by the way im also from Michigan ..
@@wldtrke yeah they should have you on commission! lol. My only concerns were if it is annoying to lug around and is it fairly easy to deploy in a single man ladder stand.
@@campbenny ive got the biggest one they make..and i roll mine up to approximately 18/20 in wide x 14 in diameter...and just strap it on my backpack..i hump it on up the mountain 2.3 plus miles..no problem..well its alot easier putting on while on ground or in box blind..but my opinion it does feel weird putting on while up in a tree..so i recommend when doing so...to do it while sitting once legs are in zip up to thigh and put the elastic straps over shoulders then your good to stand up and zip on up then sit back on down
I have ladder stands and millenium hang-on's ...
G
The yoop had some nice bucks this year I finally got mine the second to the last day of muzzleloader 👍waited all season for him to mess up
Congrats Glenn ! Was he an old mossy buck ?
@@campbenny smart for sure
Your intro is way to long.
Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
