The secret to hunting in the scrap wood deer stand is you need to make sure your surplus military rifle still has the bayonet with it to eliminate all of the mice hiding under the carpet.
Pretty accurate. Biggest buck I've ever shot was I walked to the end of a logging road, set up a fold up lawn chair, and it came out right in front of me. I couldn't make it out ahead of time with the guys to scout and set up a blind. I was just said screw it I'll just go over here, sit for awhile, and think about where I want to tuck into later in the day. And there's a big deer. Fell 50ft from the road in some grass so I just grabbed the truck and was able back right up to it. I kinda felt like I cheated or something.
My big buck story is identical lol. I walked to the edge of a field. Sat on a little ice fishing chair for a hour and the buck came out 20 yards from me lol. I shot and he dropped. Was within eye site of my truck
My grandfather shot a buck literally the exact same way here in northern mi not sure if it was his biggest but a nice wide 8 point on a logging trail and also with a lawn chair 😂
“The harder you try the worse it goes” this is absolutely true. My buddy bought his fishing pole for $1 at a garage sale and still catches just as much fish as I do. Single bearing clunky reel old fishing line but still gets em. It’s very frustrating
My grandfather swore by his kitchen table. His cabin was between a river and cornfield. He'd wake up, put on the coffee, open the window, sit down, and wait for the deer to show up.
Haha I literally did this out of my bedroom at a ranch. Corned the front yard laid on the bed and opened the window. All the other hunters kept asking why blind I was using that morning and I kept telling them my bed. They thought I was going to sleep in or I was joking. They were shocked when they came back to bunkhouse and I had my deer. I literally shot it from bed.
The stand your family member built back in 86 and has been cobbled back together over the years is the one you want . Don’t need a seat belt when your scared it’s going to give way at any moment. Also easy to keep steady when that big buck shows , my adrenaline has already been dumped when that one step 2/3 the way up the tree just free spun.
😂😂 I’ve hunted versions of every one of those, plus just climbing a tree and sitting on the biggest limb. My grandpa and his buddies used to get left-over pallets they had and nail them into trees for tree-stands. Spent many hours sitting on a pallet up in a tree when I was a kid. But now I’m old, and whenever possible, prefer the good old tower blind, complete with my Buddy Heater, old office chair, hassock restroom, snacks, etc. Don’t worry, I can still see the deer through my eyelids😂. Great video!👍😁
I taught my daughter how to hunt in Central Maine pretty much the Fleet Farm deer stand method (no Fleet Farm here so an "orange safety bucket" from Home Depot) from age ten. I had to laugh when she called me after her first hunting trip in Michigan with her then fiancée and she told me all about the toasty warm deer blinds they had set up. The other funny part was they didn't believe her when she said she had no problem with shooting a .300 Win Mag she's 5 foot 6 and skinny, so she showed them she could. She chose to use a 30-30 on the trip though. I gave her a Model 94 in 30-30 for her 10th birthday so she was very comfortable with it, and very accurate with iron sights. I started teaching her to shoot somewhere around age 5 or there about, and she is a good shot. I miss shooting on weekends with her now that she lives 2,980 miles away. Great video man. Be safe out there, and take it easy. 😎
PERFECT!! I always use a bucket and then I got to the final stand. With a bucket, you can move, sit anywhere you want and you have a bucket to put stuff in. Mine even has a swivel top - YOU BETCHA!!
The first deer hunt I ever went on when I was 15 I kinda just wandered out into the woods and sat down next to a big oak. no camo just coveralls, hoodie and a rem870 then after about 10 minutes I fell asleep woke up 6 hours later with a nice 8 point 20 yards in front of me. still one of the nicest deer I've ever shot.
This dude has became my most watched RUclips channel after I just came across him about a week ago. Binged watched maaannnnyy videos now, and this dude is hilarious!
No no. The padded lid is effort. We can't have that. Remember the size of the game is directly inverse to the level of effort. This is called the Huntratic Equation. This is more certain than gravity which is only a theory
Was just gonna comment that my late husband had fallen out of a tree stand one time (at least!) and was late meeting me for lunch, bc it took him 20 minutes to find his glasses . They were hung up on a branch in the tree, and he’d been looking on the ground! But got a jolt when I looked at the previous commentator’s name-his name was also JAMES BURTON!😳🦌

💯 Facts, this is true, grandpa sat on the pail and every year he'd hammer one. He use to say to Grandma ' Get out the lard and onion's hun, cuz I'm gutten you a buck. Great man
The bucket works IF you follow the instructions to SIT STILL. So for me that means pulling my cap down over my eyes and tilting my head back against the tree. I usually open my mouth to allow for easy breathing so my chest doesn't have to move. In that position, I can sleep soundly without moving, thereby fooling the deer into thinking I am a discarded human that no one wanted and just left behind in the woods when a hunt was finished. They see me as harmless and become curious enough to check me out. Your will likely see your biggest deer this way. Try it for yourself!
My biggest buck? Tennis shoes and a tee shirt in Minnesota November, walked to the back yard quick just to see if there was a deer. Then there was the nice one mid morning coffee break from the kitchen table. It is so true what he says. Now I enjoy hunting by not trying hard.
I arrowed an Illinois buck yesterday from my giant wood deer blind. It is about 44’x54’ built in 1909. The old barn is next to the apple trees where he was eating my apples when I shot him.
Mad respect to the bucket. I have a portable hunting chair that I used a few weeks ago when I shot my biggest buck to date,115.” I simply used the woodline and brush as cover around me. Worked great! 15 yard shot, and watched him drop on the hillside infront of me.
I took for granted the best “tree stand” that caught the biggest buck would be the SUV you just had the summers hail damage fixed on and was planning on trading in two days later.
I always wanted to get into deer hunting, and last year was the season! My wife’s grandfather has some land and invited me out. I wanted to be prepared, did hours of research, was ready to spend thousands between the “perfect” hunting rifle and the best blind a man can afford being lower middle class. Her grandfather said wait until after the season to buy anything. He let me use his old bolt action that’s probably older than Father Tome himself and and handed me a lawn chair. Told me what tree to sit under and which way to aim. Got a buck 2 minutes after daybreak. Simple is better sometimes
No bs, I brought my buddy on his first deer hunt ever and we used buckets. He shot an 8 point 15 minutes after we sat down. Public land and late season to add.
Deer and elk have a natural fear of bipedal sounds. The sound of walking with 2 legs. They have no idea what a bicycle sounds like. Huge herds of cows, elk, and deer have followed me around in my travels; and I smell like beer, cheap cigarettes, and beef jerky at all times.
my grandpa used some extra wood and made a little hunting stand, its just plywood and extra flooring tiles from when he rebuild his bathroom. its held up surprisingly well
Pure facts! I've upgraded to hunting out of tower blinds (aka Taj Mahals), and I'm not going back. Of course, my hunting tower blinds are more like nature observation towers.
We had the "This looks like a good tree to put up a stand" while scouting public land. So then we found a couple 4" saplings and cut them up. They satisfied not only the stand but the steps up to the stand. (Sucks when you got there on opener and somebody beat you to the stand you built.) Or, if you're a little apprehensive about cutting a sappling or two there's always the 2x4 stand. There's nothing like standing on 3 2x4's nailed between 3 trees 16 feet in the air without a safety harness. It best when it's windy enough that if you even see a deer to shoot, you have to wait until you drift back on target before shooting because the trees are swaying 2 feet in each direction.
Gotta spruce da bucket up with one of them fancy seat heater cushions. I love mine, keeps the rump warm and comfy. Practically turns the bucket/tree set up into a Laz-y-boy
Growing up, my hunting spot was this random cluster of huge boulders that sat right on a tree line that overlooked a large field with a creek. I'd go in with a lawn chair and a Y shaped stick to stabilize my rifle, and I could sit there all day protected from wind.
Allegedly, you can separate the top shell from the base of a portojohn and use it as a deer blind/ice fishing shanty. I've never done this but a guy at the bar told me about it and according to him you leave the toilet part so its technically still usable.
2:30 reminds me of the tree house our dad made me and my brother. Miss it so much. Ma took it down for dumb reasons because memories aren't supposed to be cherished.
Gotta be the old bucket you used to mix concrete in last summer when putting up some fencing and still has chucks of it crusted to the sides. Bucket life is best.
I used an old fallen log to sit on last year and not expecting anything to show. I was there for 15 mins before I was surrounded. I could have used my bayonet to get one if I wasn't to lazy to haul it back out. I was just trying to find a quiet place to drink 😂
The truth is...he's right. Its not just in hunting, but fishing too. The more money you spend, the harder it is and you're always gunna see guys coming out of the woods with huge bucks that have spent very little. In fact, most experts don't even bring a gun or a fishing rod.
At 73 yrs. old, I still prefer to hunting from the ground. I have hunted in various stands, mostly ladder and climbing, but my biggest 2 bucks were both taken from the ground. I sometimes carry a small tripod camping chair, or the Hammock Seat Chair (Portable and Light Weight Stool Camping Chair Hang On Tree), but usually just walk or sit on the ground. With over 50 yrs. of deer hunting behind me, I have killed at least one deer every year from the ground.
Funny how true this is. A couple years back I was sitting in every stand on my uncles property with no luck for a week. Came out early and walked down the hill waiting for dad I sit on a downed tree and got a shot at my biggest buck, used the tree as a rest for rifle and tagged him.
I spent last Saturday in one of those ultra nice engineered stands, it was very comfortable, blocked the wind, deadened the noise we made. But between the steel stand and the little building on top I bet he was at least 5k into it. I spent Monday sitting on a log until my ass was numb.
I made mine with rope and paracord. Tree net in the yard tree, can see a mile in each direction. For keeping the coyotes off the calves mainly, but the boss sells antelope tags and them assholes always stealing our grass. Hunting from the front yard 👌
A friend of mine absolutely hated the mindset that the harder you try, the worse off you will be. One season he did everything he could to increase his chances. Me? With some scent repellant, a mat and a ghillie suit. I would find a spot that seemed alright and lie there all day. Bagged the biggest buck of my life lying on the ground. My old man swears by the good ol bucket.
When I was a kid, me and Dad built a really nice box stand in big twin pines on a ridgeline, with a full staircase going up into it. Mom didn't want me climbing a ladder when I went hunting by myself at 10 y/o... Handling high powered rifle, no problem, climbing 8ft ladder, nope. :D Funny story, but it really is a point about what is the most dangerous part of hunting. Way more people injured by climbing or hiking while hunting than by firearms.
I know that those 5 gallon buckets are the best ice fishing setup ever you just sit on them with your back to the wind and a vexalar you will limit out by 4pm
I think why I don't get the biggest buck with my fleet farm bucket is that I have to drink the 12 pack that I carried in it before I flip it over to sit on it... 🤔
You forgot one type of stand that's a classic. Climber stands. The old ones used to be a gigantic pain in the ass and heavy, but they got lighter as more new ones came out. I used to use them before I switched to ladder stands, especially when hunting public land that I couldn't place a more permanent stand on. They still have their place but I haven't used one in a bit.

keep a red ryder in the stand like i have next to my bed in the winter
And don't leave an extra jacket hanging in there "just in case". You'll have 5 mice running out of the sleeve and swarming all over!
That is why buckets have lids. Button that stuff up!
I thought I was the only one that used military guns 😂

The best hunters make it look easy.

The bucket is versatile. Great for duck season, turkey and deer. Just make yourself a padded lid and you're golden.

I spent last Saturday in one of those ultra nice engineered stands, it was very comfortable, blocked the wind, deadened the noise we made. But between the steel stand and the little building on top I bet he was at least 5k into it. I spent Monday sitting on a log until my ass was numb.
I usually don't even take the bucket. I just sit on the ground under some cedars
I made mine with rope and paracord. Tree net in the yard tree, can see a mile in each direction. For keeping the coyotes off the calves mainly, but the boss sells antelope tags and them assholes always stealing our grass. Hunting from the front yard 👌
I need a YouBetcha standard issue bucket!!!
I’m digging that Busch hoodie
I bought a baker ladder stand in the late 1970s. First factory built stand I had ever seen. Things have come a long way since then.
A friend of mine absolutely hated the mindset that the harder you try, the worse off you will be.
One season he did everything he could to increase his chances.
Me? With some scent repellant, a mat and a ghillie suit. I would find a spot that seemed alright and lie there all day. Bagged the biggest buck of my life lying on the ground.
My old man swears by the good ol bucket.
LOVE THE VIDEOS , WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU DO ONE ABOUT GHILI SUITS
When I was a kid, me and Dad built a really nice box stand in big twin pines on a ridgeline, with a full staircase going up into it. Mom didn't want me climbing a ladder when I went hunting by myself at 10 y/o... Handling high powered rifle, no problem, climbing 8ft ladder, nope. :D Funny story, but it really is a point about what is the most dangerous part of hunting. Way more people injured by climbing or hiking while hunting than by firearms.
I was walking in to public land to my setup and I passed a guy walked out with an 11 point buck and a fucking bucket. Its true people.
The Taj Mahal in France 🤣
I know that those 5 gallon buckets are the best ice fishing setup ever you just sit on them with your back to the wind and a vexalar you will limit out by 4pm
I think why I don't get the biggest buck with my fleet farm bucket is that I have to drink the 12 pack that I carried in it before I flip it over to sit on it... 🤔
You forgot one type of stand that's a classic. Climber stands. The old ones used to be a gigantic pain in the ass and heavy, but they got lighter as more new ones came out. I used to use them before I switched to ladder stands, especially when hunting public land that I couldn't place a more permanent stand on. They still have their place but I haven't used one in a bit.
my first deer was a 7 pointer. i was sitting on the ground in a ghillie suit on public land with a compound bow this year
