YES PAUL, PAAAAUUUUSSSSEEEEE, WE UNDERSTAND. Thanks for another entertaining but still very useful vid. I just want to give a mention about my father, he turns 79 years old on the 26th. This past Sat. he bagged a nice 6 point buck ( in PA. or 3x3 in some other states ) with his OLD COMPOUND BOW. He should not be in the woods hunting these big PA. mountains due to his health ( AT ALL ) but he told me " WHERE IS A BETTER PLACE TO DIE THAN IN THE PLACE THAT I LOVE THE MOST ". I just gave him a BIG HUG, TOLD HIM I LOVED HIM & HE DID A GREAT JOB.
The only thing I could add to this is after the 3rd shot, I said to his buddy "Why don't you shoot the deer for him?" His reply was "He's the better shot...."
"Well, now I am going to give you some advice, so if you don't want to hear me tell you what to do, feel free to stop watching" Heck yeah I want advice from Paul. "I'm going to tell you a tedious anecdote" Ooo, I'm glad I stuck around... "That might devolve into some *other* anecdotes" WHOA, looks like Christmas came early!
1st deer hunt ever, got dropped off at deer stand 5am. I fell asleep till 7, woke up saw a deer about 30 yards away. Shot it! I was surprised my snoring didn't scare it away.....
@@politicallyunreliable4985 in Germany as a legal Gun owner you are recognized immediately by the Police, etc .... because it’s marked in all official documents.
You should try it when you only have one leg, and an above knee prosthetic. It's embarrassing trying to get up with something to grab hold of to help on solid flat ground, let me tell you soft wet hillsides like that of deer season here it's down right comical watching me try to get up. My solution is I stole an idea from Buffalo hunters. I use a firing stake, aka monopod, from the standing position, or I lean up against a tree. May not be the best firing position, but they work. Thankfully I rarely have to leave my porch to get a few deer each year. And my ATV with a small tilting wagon is a life saver.
I’m glad somebody else was identifying with that “I’m not young anymore” torture. I was thinking that a lot of the viewers were wondering why Paul was getting out of breath. Bless them and their youth. They’ll find out all too soon.
I’m not too hep to this social media stuff. I should have commented here instead of to Christopher Snider’s post. See his if you like. But I was getting winded and hurting just watching Paul do those positions.
Paul I'm half your age and my knees hurt just watching you get into and out of each position just to give us that piece of added realism. Thanks for the extra effort that few other guys put into their videos
I never see anybody practice the sitting or prone position at the range. Some people zero from a rest and never try to shoot offhand while standing. Where I live, if I did practice sitting at the range, I guarantee that I wouldn't be wearing the same insulated hunting pants switch is going to change the whole sitting position. I would never be able to get down or up from that position.
Adjusting the body to work with the natural point of aim is probably the best lesson I’ve learned all year. Just didn’t click for me until you simply demonstrated how it all works. Thanks Paul!
I've never been in the Military or spent alot of time around firearms. Ive hunted, and went shooting but never very extensively. I can honestly say though, I've learned so much more by watching these presentations over the past few years. Just by following basic advice about stance, breath control, trigger control and awareness of what I'm shooting at. My overall accuracy has improved ten-fold, still catch a flyer every now and again though. That's just me 🤣
I remember when when a couple of my friends bought their Thompson Center Compasses chambered in 6.5 Creedmor, and thought they were going to be 1000-yard commandos. They came back from the range and were frustrated by how they couldn't zero the rifle. Turns out, they had followed the advice of buying multiple types of ammo to see what worked best for accuracy, but didn't know that their point-of-impact would change when you change your ammo type. It took taking them back out to the range to demonstrate this phenomenon to convince them. They're doing better now today, although I think they have yet to move beyond anything beyond 100 yards.
Whenever Paul fires a shot, my phone's CC calls it "music" or "applause". Both are very appropriate. It is music to my ears and I applaud all he does for us.
Reminds me of the saying "Practice doesn't make perfect, *perfect practice* makes perfect". I always appreciate your mix of Drill Sergeant precision when talking about ammo etc. and occasionally goofy humor. Keep it up and I'll keep watching your videos all the way to the end.
I love the Clint Eastwood quote. As for me, laying prone has never crossed my mind while deer hunting. I guess having a foot of snow makes a difference. Also, accurate shots for me would be holding my rifle up against a tree or resting on the end of my tree stand.
I am glad I am not the only one who caught that. "I know what you are thinking. Did he shoot six shots? Or was it only five? In all the excitement, I lost count. Now, being that this is a forty-four magnum, the most powerful handgun in the whole world and could blow your head clean off, you have to be asking yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do you, punk?"
@MrCevant I'd love one of those dry fire laser kits, and the kit that makes the glock trigger reset. For now, I have a cheap bb pistol for which I can dry fire practice. The handle is slightly different, but it is close enough.
@@markh.6687 🤣 I remember him, dad a WW2 USMC staff sergeant radiomen just grumbled about officers. I had bags of those army men. The bazooka dude was a favorite and wasn't there one with a recoilless rifle?
I'm thinking about it too much, but I'm betting most of those Korean war era soldiers they were based on would've learned to shoot from hunting... And older army shooting manuals show these exact same positions.
Glad to see you got a quiet range to work on. Sometimes it's incredibly hard to hear you when it sounds like a low level insurgency going on in the background.
Not much of a hunter, but I admire the craft and dedication it takes to be a proficient hunter. Would love to go on a hunt someday with Paul or similar good company! Thanks for an informative video as always!
Paul, as always, I find your video instructive, sensible, down-to-earth and correct.

Ah, those actors miserably failing at playing 'the candidates' or 'the top politicians' or some such play? I think they didn't debate. They only faked the event, both minutely following the script. Today, there are no politicians, scientists, businessmen, leaders, writers or artists anymore. We only see actors who are playing their rôles, according to a destructive script that only our most deadly foe could devise.
Congratulations on the new facility. Looking forward to new content. As a suggestion for new content, a future presentation on Derringers and practical application of the 'gamblers last friend' would be appreciated.
I like to use the sling, and lean my left shoulder firmly up against a tree to get a ton of stability when shooting offhand. I had a nasty back injury, so the other positions are extremely difficult for me to get into in the field.
6:06 another issue with taking the time to get into a kneeling position is that the movement and noise of it (depending on the type of ground) may spook a deer.
Getting up early is good for you. Try doing it every day, and watch your life and productivity improve. Bonus: you get to watch Paul Harrell videos when they're uploaded!
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed the shooting positions. When you were prone, I watched your breathing. One deep breath, partial exhale, stop the breath.... pow. Found myself doing it along with you. Good stuff.
Amusing story. Also, every hunter in my family shoots deer "off tree" whenever possible. Whether it be leaning against a tree for stability or using a thick branch as a rest.
It's amazing how many rests there are in the woods. Also, if you have to assume an awkward position, ease in to it, rather than making fast, easily discernable movements. You might get busted, but you'll get in to a more solid position if the critter sticks around and you're not as likely to terrify it.
Nice nod at the 10/22, 56 years old this year! Next to some Daisy Pump Masters and a Benjamin Pump .22 it has to be one of the most memorable of my youth. Practice, practice, practice! Know your equipment, know your terrain, and know your target. No need to take poor pop shots when you've prepared ahead of time for your firearm's capabilities and your physical abilities. Thanks for another great anecdote. Best of luck to you this season out there.
Never did I ever consider it a bother hearing you say “please bear with me” your presentations are always a pleasure and I look forward to many more of them.
This year, I was able to get into a prone position on the first day. The ground under me was level, except a small rise, that mimicked my shooting bags perfectly. Two buck were 30 yards away, just downhill making the rest I was using absolutely perfect. I take aim at the six point, and... sun was directly in my eyes, and I couldn't find my front sight on my Garand, with the bucks in the shade. To make matters worse, the bucks were behind some dark bushes that I could see through, but didn't feel comfortable taking the shot. They ran. I got home and my Truck had a flat (it had been leaking air for some time and couldn't be repaired), and the spare that I'm using for the first time is a 20in. The rest of my tires are 17in. Better luck next year I guess...
@@ViktoriousDead I always use iron sights when I'm walking through heavily wooded areas. This was just the first time the sun was directly behind my shot. It didn't help that I forgot my shades. Every deer I've seen in that area has been within 50yrds. I've even crept up with 15, one time.
@@robertculpepper1508 I got into prone also to hide my silhouette. The sun was shining right on me through a opening in the trees. Like I said, besides the sun and bushes, it was otherwise a perfect position.
I really believe that Paul's videos should be required viewing for novice shooters. Videos like this one should be required in all hunter education classes. This is the guy who will show you the right way to do it. Thanks Paul!
Hey Paul, great video. Do you have any particular breathing techniques that you utilize while shooting? I noticed that you sigh after every shot during your one-shot group test. Maybe you could do a video demonstrating different breathing techniques with different style firearms
I'm not a deer hunter but did watch the whole video at regular speed. Paul is much more agile than any of the deer hunters that i know. After many years of yoga I can get up and down from the ground easily. Some of these guys, not so easily. Nice going Paul!
Alternatively, you can just be heading down the Interstate at a speed somewhat between never getting there and getting a ticket and encounter a deer that regards the center of the lane as a good place to contemplate its day.
Greg Camp Around 25 years ago, the car in front of me hit a deer . He was doing around 65-70mph. It was like he had hit a tree. I narrowly avoided hitting him and a large part of the deer. The car was just completely destroyed.
@@gregcampwriter Yes, I totaled a National Car Rental, Toyota Camry, several years ago and had no injuries. Two summers ago I hit a deer in a curve on my sportbike doing about 50 mph, managed to stay up, rode it out, and rode home with $3,000 damage to my bike, but none to me.
UNLIMITED AND EXCLUSIVE!? Well Paul, I'd like to say that I feel very PRIVILEGED to EXPERIENCE this new area with you. Now what I'd like talk about is how much I enjoy your content. Love it. Would love to see it continue. Thanks Paul.
Lots of competition shooters do the same thing. That and driving into the rifle help mitigate recoil and facilitate faster follow up shoots. None of which is very helpful for deer hunting where you need to make a single precise shot. Unless, your name is Deer Misser...
@@boomerisadog3899 I missed a deer once. It stuck around long enough for me to miss a second shot. Turns out my sights had gotten jostled up and I was shooting about a foot over it's back.
I was gonna say, "not much need for body armor if you're hunting deer," then I remembered Bubba Fudds exist, and may be hunting in the same area as you.
I’m kinda spoiled out at the farm. Every single one of my kills have been with my Savage .270 and iron sights. The reason? Usually less than 120yds. Paul’s kneeling position has usually been ideal for me. There are lucky times when I’m aiming down a coulee and can actually sit on my butt and use a knee like a monopod.
Scott Kenny It’s a blessing, no doubt. Thing is, around this time, I start to get calls from friends and acquaintances that I haven’t heard from for a year... 🤔
"This land is Paul's land; it is not your land. He's got a rifle, and he can pot you. You'd better leave now, before he shoots you. This land is private property!"
Paul I've been watching your videos for years, and I strongly identify with your training techniques, weapons choices, and old school approach. Just as important, I very much enjoy your sense of humor. When you made the reference to the classic Dirty Harry "six shots or only five" line, I would have bet my whole gun collection that following the "Deer Misser" story you would have summed that character up with "A man's got to know his limitations.". I was a little disappointed, but never-the-less I still enjoyed the video, keep them coming!!!
Hey everyone, I'm shooting the 10/22 because ammo is scarce for the larger calibers.
I figured as much.
Nothing wrong with that. I shoot my 22 rifle more than the others just because it's more mellow.

My most comfortable hunting/ shooting position is sleeping in my tree stand while deer move below me in complete safety!

I didn't watch. Did anything funny happen?
@@Sue_Me_Too
Ya. Joe told Trump "I didn't say that about fracking!
Trump said "It's on video!"
Then Joe says, "Put it on your website."
So, Trump did.😊
Ah, those actors miserably failing at playing 'the candidates' or 'the top politicians' or some such play? I think they didn't debate. They only faked the event, both minutely following the script.
Today, there are no politicians, scientists, businessmen, leaders, writers or artists anymore. We only see actors who are playing their rôles, according to a destructive script that only our most deadly foe could devise.
@@demezon6572 nothing better than a good french Voltairian wake up slap on the face. Thank you.
A new Paul Harrell Video on time for breakfast.... the perfect start into the day. PS: greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Congratulations on the new facility. Looking forward to new content. As a suggestion for new content, a future presentation on Derringers and practical application of the 'gamblers last friend' would be appreciated.
Paul, I have to say, the way you talk and explain stuff is absolutely splendid!
I like to use the sling, and lean my left shoulder firmly up against a tree to get a ton of stability when shooting offhand.
I had a nasty back injury, so the other positions are extremely difficult for me to get into in the field.
Paul, you're a great story teller. I have no military background but I have a blast listening to you
+1 for the Dirty Harry reference. :)
Paul's anecdotes are my favorite parts of his segments.
6:06 another issue with taking the time to get into a kneeling position is that the movement and noise of it (depending on the type of ground) may spook a deer.
If you need to kneel to shoot the deer is probably quite a ways away “ unless your trying to shoot under brush”. So noise shouldn’t be a problem
Dry leaves, number one enemy of a hunter’s feet
My left knee is very crunchy and I sometimes wonder if a deer would hear it lol. Guess I’ll find out when I get there!
Good video Paul, and sound advice, ARMY AIRBORNE veteran. 🇺🇸
Getting ready to go to bed... Paul posts a new video... sleep can wait.
Thank you Paul for sacrificing your knees and back to demonstrate these positions. Not to mention getting soaked along the way.
5am wake up.
Paul post a video... I'm gonna be tired tomorrow
Getting up early is good for you. Try doing it every day, and watch your life and productivity improve.
Bonus: you get to watch Paul Harrell videos when they're uploaded!
@@regularfather4708 definitely
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed the shooting positions. When you were prone, I watched your breathing. One deep breath, partial exhale, stop the breath.... pow. Found myself doing it along with you. Good stuff.
Amusing story. Also, every hunter in my family shoots deer "off tree" whenever possible. Whether it be leaning against a tree for stability or using a thick branch as a rest.
It's amazing how many rests there are in the woods. Also, if you have to assume an awkward position, ease in to it, rather than making fast, easily discernable movements. You might get busted, but you'll get in to a more solid position if the critter sticks around and you're not as likely to terrify it.
Nice nod at the 10/22, 56 years old this year! Next to some Daisy Pump Masters and a Benjamin Pump .22 it has to be one of the most memorable of my youth. Practice, practice, practice! Know your equipment, know your terrain, and know your target. No need to take poor pop shots when you've prepared ahead of time for your firearm's capabilities and your physical abilities. Thanks for another great anecdote. Best of luck to you this season out there.
Dirty Harry reference at 21:00?🤣🤣🤣
It had to be.
It certainly was
Loved it !
"You've got to ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?'
Well... do ya, punk?"
💀
Paul got a serious leg workout in this video. Better you than me sir! Thank you for what you do for us all
Also: Standing, with support, if available.
Never did I ever consider it a bother hearing you say “please bear with me” your presentations are always a pleasure and I look forward to many more of them.
This year, I was able to get into a prone position on the first day. The ground under me was level, except a small rise, that mimicked my shooting bags perfectly. Two buck were 30 yards away, just downhill making the rest I was using absolutely perfect. I take aim at the six point, and... sun was directly in my eyes, and I couldn't find my front sight on my Garand, with the bucks in the shade. To make matters worse, the bucks were behind some dark bushes that I could see through, but didn't feel comfortable taking the shot. They ran. I got home and my Truck had a flat (it had been leaking air for some time and couldn't be repaired), and the spare that I'm using for the first time is a 20in. The rest of my tires are 17in. Better luck next year I guess...
You got into prone for a 30 yard shot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really not your day.
Maybe don’t hunt with a garland with Irons, unless you’re consistently shooting 30 yds
@@ViktoriousDead I always use iron sights when I'm walking through heavily wooded areas. This was just the first time the sun was directly behind my shot. It didn't help that I forgot my shades.
Every deer I've seen in that area has been within 50yrds. I've even crept up with 15, one time.
@@robertculpepper1508 I got into prone also to hide my silhouette. The sun was shining right on me through a opening in the trees. Like I said, besides the sun and bushes, it was otherwise a perfect position.
I really believe that Paul's videos should be required viewing for novice shooters. Videos like this one should be required in all hunter education classes. This is the guy who will show you the right way to do it. Thanks Paul!
Mr. Harrell, I was taught to use the sling wrapped under my elbow in all positions. How good of a technique is that?
Legit
Works very well for standing shots. Was taught in the military for steadying a shot years ago.
if you find it comfortable and helps accuracy that's the main thing , trying different techniques isn't a bad thing either
Kyle Rittenhouse would say it's not nessesary.
Helps support the rifle and tends to reduce movement of the support arm.
As far as I can tell, this is Paul's best video today. Made me laugh out loud several times.
omg the laughter at 19:53 !!! The echo :D hilarious!
Where is the loudest noise I’ve ever heard coming out of Paul in all the years I’ve been following him
@@Wild_Bill57 wait a minute... louder than his guns ?
I really enjoy the anecdotes and listening to what you have to say. For me they are the main reason I wait for your videos to post.
The fact that I’m watching this at 1 am instead of sleeping make me wonder if I have a problem.
It’s Paul Harrell. Not insomnia. You’re fine.
1 am’s not that late if we’re honest
Insomnia 🙋
No.
I watched it at 1:40 am! 😊
When someone is willing to take the time to impart their wisdom, it behooves one to take the time to listen, I'm listening and it's not boring.
Hey Paul, great video. Do you have any particular breathing techniques that you utilize while shooting? I noticed that you sigh after every shot during your one-shot group test. Maybe you could do a video demonstrating different breathing techniques with different style firearms
Ive only ever hunted steel targets, but I absolutely will listen to and watch any information you're willing to give out.
1:21 this is a legitimate shooting position in the state of Oklahoma if you are disabled and it's not from a Road
In TN, you are allowed to hunt from a stationary vehicle. As a Disabled Veteran, that is great for me
'round here we don't pay for that many game wardens so as long as you don't cause trouble it's all good.
I'm not a deer hunter but did watch the whole video at regular speed. Paul is much more agile than any of the deer hunters that i know. After many years of yoga I can get up and down from the ground easily. Some of these guys, not so easily. Nice going Paul!
I look forward to your stories. They're always interesting, amusing, and instructive.
15:50 the educational portion yay, actually my favorite part of these videos.
Alternatively, you can just be heading down the Interstate at a speed somewhat between never getting there and getting a ticket and encounter a deer that regards the center of the lane as a good place to contemplate its day.
Greg Camp Around 25 years ago, the car in front of me hit a deer . He was doing around 65-70mph. It was like he had hit a tree. I narrowly avoided hitting him and a large part of the deer. The car was just completely destroyed.
@@peterloftus6259 Yup--the good news is that crumple zone technology has greatly improved.
@@gregcampwriter Yes, I totaled a National Car Rental, Toyota Camry, several years ago and had no injuries. Two summers ago I hit a deer in a curve on my sportbike doing about 50 mph, managed to stay up, rode it out, and rode home with $3,000 damage to my bike, but none to me.
@@gb93669 Dang, and it was the same deer! Probably recognized you from the car hit.
@@gravewalker1632 Right. First deer died at the crash site. M/C deer hobbled off. Cheers.
UNLIMITED AND EXCLUSIVE!?
Well Paul, I'd like to say that I feel very PRIVILEGED to EXPERIENCE this new area with you.
Now what I'd like talk about is how much I enjoy your content. Love it. Would love to see it continue. Thanks Paul.
Two worst sentences in hunting are "Grizzly ! RUN !!!" and "I think I hit it somewhere."
Nice land! Glad you have an exclusive place to shoot and do vids at.
Facing and squared off to the target is indicative of training with body armor and plates....
Or just the Russian "assault" style.
Lots of competition shooters do the same thing. That and driving into the rifle help mitigate recoil and facilitate faster follow up shoots. None of which is very helpful for deer hunting where you need to make a single precise shot. Unless, your name is Deer Misser...
@@boomerisadog3899 I missed a deer once. It stuck around long enough for me to miss a second shot. Turns out my sights had gotten jostled up and I was shooting about a foot over it's back.
@@boomerisadog3899 lol is your name a reference to the awful furry "boomer the dog"?
I was gonna say, "not much need for body armor if you're hunting deer," then I remembered Bubba Fudds exist, and may be hunting in the same area as you.
Anecdotes are what makes this channel great
I’m kinda spoiled out at the farm. Every single one of my kills have been with my Savage .270 and iron sights. The reason? Usually less than 120yds.
Paul’s kneeling position has usually been ideal for me. There are lucky times when I’m aiming down a coulee and can actually sit on my butt and use a knee like a monopod.
Wow, lucky you!!! Deer are never that close where I live. At least not during hunting season...
Scott Kenny It’s a blessing, no doubt. Thing is, around this time, I start to get calls from friends and acquaintances that I haven’t heard from for a year... 🤔
@@petarded8529 my reply would be, "where were you when I needed to replace some fence posts", but I'm a jerk like that...
Scott Kenny Hah! Just comes with the territory 😏
They help me fill my meat freezer with much more than venison.
Honest truth, I’ve never killed one that was more than 100 yards away, even in open fields
Never miss a Paul Harrell video, not matter what subject he is on! Thanks Paul for all you do.
1:15. Someone is enjoying their new land.
what makes you say that?
@@houssamassila6274 because the first video he did on his new land, he rolled up and shot out of a vehicle in a non combat situation.
@@thisguy6525 I didn't know. That's great news. thanks
"This land is Paul's land; it is not your land. He's got a rifle, and he can pot you. You'd better leave now, before he shoots you. This land is private property!"
Paul I've been watching your videos for years, and I strongly identify with your training techniques, weapons choices, and old school approach. Just as important, I very much enjoy your sense of humor. When you made the reference to the classic Dirty Harry "six shots or only five" line, I would have bet my whole gun collection that following the "Deer Misser" story you would have summed that character up with "A man's got to know his limitations.". I was a little disappointed, but never-the-less I still enjoyed the video, keep them coming!!!
