A 3-Year Quest For One PA Mountain Buck - 2022 Pennsylvania Deer Hunting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In 2020, I found a special deer in the big woods of Pennsylvania that caught my full attention. After some encounters and learning about this particular buck, I focused on him in 2022. It was a grind of a season, and my prayers were answered in a different way. This is different than my films and has a lot more vlog style. Let me know if you want to see more of this type of video, or if I should stick to only the higher-quality videos in the comments!

Nice video, Beau. Hard to beat hunting big woods public. Hopefully you have a good one to chase this year. Good luck!
Very enjoyable production. The vlog style is very captivating and so much better than watching someone sit in a tree over a food plot. Well done man! Keep em coming…
Thanks Ben!
Those all day sits where you don't see anything are so brutal
Can confirm. Makes you second guess everything and temp you to over call.
What a ride! One us mountain buck hunters know all too well! The ride isn’t as lonely as it usually feels!
Definitely not as lonely as it feels! Thank you!!!
I sure do enjoy watching your ridge top hunts and seeing all the planning you put in your hunts. Watching this after being released from I.C.U. for my third heart attack. I know I can't ever walk my favorite ridges again but I feel like I'm there with you. Looking forward to the Alberta video.
I always enjoy your videos and short films like this. Watching these makes me wish I never would have stopped hunting for as long as I did. I got back out there and quickly realized how badly I had missed it. You either love the mountains of PA or you hate them and if you love hunting them it becomes part of who you are. I always had something inside that just pushed me to want to know more and go farther. This time armed with more patience and a Pennsylvania that has more good bucks than ever I have dedicated myself to finding good bucks every year and hunting them. I've lost 70lbs, pushed myself to get in better shape, started building an inventory of cameras, and building my knowledge through the likes of guys like you, Johnny Stewart, Nathan Killen etc and by mapping and scouting as much as possible. It's my goal to have a chance at a mature buck every year here in the mountains I hunt in PA. I don't know if that is realistic or not but I'm pushing for it. Thanks for all of the information you have on RUclips and your website and I hope this year ends for you with a beast on the meat pole.
I love to hear this!!! That's awesome. I wish you the best this season! I think it's going to be a great one.
The very end of this video hit different. I've been after the same buck for 3 seasons now .. I shot a different buck Oct. 2nd this season. It was a beautiful 13 point with splits and a sweet rack. Not something you see here often in PA. I think about the buck all the time I'm often just going through trail cam pics and videos and thinking about encounters. I know soon he will be gone, either to a hunter or some other demise .. there's just something about the chase that keeps ya going. Congrats on a beautiful buck, and good luck this season.
Thank you! Ya it does hit different. We get so involved in these deer as if we actually know them. I can't tell you the amount of hours I've spent scouring maps, trail cam pics, and boots on the ground looking for that 10. When I found out he was killed, it stung! At the same time, I was very happy for the other hunter and gave me a reason to move on. It's all about perspective I guess! Congrats on your buck at the beginning of the season that's awesome!
@BeauMartonik I posted a video of my hunt if you wouldn't mind checking it out. It's not very long, or very good.. I'm working on my self filming skills 😂 you're absolutely right, it feels like we know these deer when you've been watching and following them year after year. Watching them grow and mature into awesome animals. It's kinda like you can tell their stories. Also makes ya think about how many hunters and predators he's avoided through the years and some of the stuff they've seen.
Awesome video Beau!! Mountain hunting is full of highs and lows but is the most rewarding!! It was very cool to see you capture that!
Thanks Daniel!
Great video dude. I have a camp between Ronovo and lockhaven. Your videos show real hunting. Sitting and waiting. Even seeing a squirrel gets me fired up on the slow days. Keep it up man thanks for making these!
I'm in 4d Union County but surrounded by mountains on 3 sides of me , however , not the greatest hunting right here , been hit so hard by Amish every year , van load deer drives and they kill about anything brown , no management at all. I've killed a few nice ones but nothing bigger then 120 class , if I see 5 buck a whole Archery and rifle combined , I'm lucky
Much respect to getting it done in the mountains. I took trips to the North Ga mountains for 4 years before arrowing my first black bear and the terrain is no joke. I have been wanting to do a deer rut hunt up there for some time. Deer densities are low but some impressive bucks have come out of those mountains. Great story and great video!
Halfway through and my interest is rising! Beau Martonik the deer hunting DIY videographer big buck killer!
Exciting close! Ohoh, I'm going to be late for work...
Heck yeah I have been waiting on the video/film 🎥 to drop for a while. 😃🏹🦌🌲
Thanks Forrest!
@@BeauMartonikyou are welcome 🙏. Excellent video and hunt story. Congratulations again on a really nice Mountain ⛰️ Buck 🦌. What a big 8 point tank of a buck even though you didn’t get a chance at the 10.
Congratulations! I really enjoyed this style of film I hope you do one of these long narratives for 2023 as well
Thank you! Currently filming it. Appreciate the feedback!
PA is definitely on the up and up in my opinion.
Congratulations. Your persistence paid off. You are fortunate to hunt for a living.
Thank you very much! I don't actually hunt for a living per say, and actually spent more time in the PA woods before I did this full time haha! But I am extremely thankful to work in the hunting industry that allows me to choose the days I do hunt. Good luck this year!
Like the video, great job, also like the camo pattern.
With that big ten, goes to show that even in the big woods, the guy just over the hill is the one to take him lol.
Great story, great buck, always more bucks to chase!
Thank you! There's always more bucks to chase!
Great PA Buck Beau, Congratulations!!
Thanks Shawn!!
Sweet video, and a awesome pa mountain buck!! Congratulations
Appreciate it Mike!
U my man have a great life. Wish i could hunt like u. Messed my back up and can hunt the way i want to. Cant walk much , so i hunt close to home. Great video and keepem coming.
Im from sw Pennsylvania. Johnstown area. Buddy shot a 169 a few years ago. And the sheds from the previous year were alteast 15 inches bigger. The antler restriction did so much for pa. Cambia county got some monsters
Dude I feel ya about mountain hunting. All day sits with nothing more times than I can count then days where you need flagger force to slow the traffic. Nice buck👍
Good stuff Beau!!
Thanks Allie!!!
Congrats, awesome Buck
Thank you!
Great buck and video Beau!! I really enjoyed watching this vlog style video, just seemed to be more personal and relatable compared to the higher quality films that you've put out. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the films too but this one just hits different. I know how much work goes into self-filming and editing. Thanks for sharing and keep up all the good work, I enjoy the content!
I really appreciate that! You know what it's like. Good luck this year!!!!
Nice job!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Andy!
Great content as always!
Thank you!
Great stuff!
Thank you!
Come to the se part of PA. We’ve had big deer for years. And they keep getting bigger
LeBoef County rocks!!
I’d say another 10 to 15 years Pennsylvania will be a big bucks state we just need to keep up what we’re doing with the antler limit
I was a little confused when you said you were trying to range a big buck at 15 yards ,i would have just used my 20 yard pin and shot but way to get it done in the end in the big woods!
Shouldn’t have had to range 15 yards but that’s why I like plain old pins 20 yard pin a little low
I pre-range everything when I get in the tree. I didn't have time to range them when they come in (rarely do). I just held my plain old 25 pin low. Same concept. Good luck this season!
The 9th on seems to be the magic days
It varies, different woods different dates. From 10/30- 11/18 just in my area
Nice job
Thank you!
Where you shot the 8 point that looks like the ANF. I found 3 beautiful sheds all from studs running them ridges above the clarion. I’ve heard about you for some years but just found your channel. I rock with you I live in Bunola pa but I try to get up Ridgway as much as possible.
Hey man! I really appreciate you checking out the video, but I am not familiar with the area you are talking about. But, I will say it's probably not a good idea to publicly name drop spots/areas either way, unless you want some company. Haha!
@@BeauMartonik I gotcha man but good luck next Saturday if you’re out chasing birds.
The pursuit is inspiring - thanks for sharing this story! What release are you shooting?
Thank you! This was a Cobra harvester. I recently switched back to a trigger style release for deer hunting. Had too many misfires with my thumb release on my bino harness or clothes trying to let down...
@@BeauMartonik well, that sounds terrifying…ha! Thanks for the intel.
Any chance someone else smoked a big buck in that same area and caught it on video in the last few years? I don’t know who it was but that spot looks so familiar. The young man put two arrows in a big buck if I recall
In the area of the big 10 or the 8 I shot? The area of the big 10 I shot a 9 pt in which I have a video on my channel last year that took 2 arrows. Other than that, I don't know of anyone else shooting a big one in any of the areas I had on video.
Check out BnB outdoors giant pa buck with a bow. Don’t ask me why, but certain stuff gets stuck in my mind. Scenery looks very close. Great buck and great content, I enjoy your videos a lot. Keep up the good work !
I see the similarities but no ag around me so I don’t think it’s the same! I really appreciate it!!! Good luck this season!
Had a similar incident with two of my trail cameras on public land. I suppose some take issue with having their photo taken and time stamped.
What Sitka set are you wearing. Is that the stratus Jacket ?
Yep stratus is what I wear most!
Fuckin awesome great stuff
Not on film,what’s up with that
Tough to self film, but sure I'll get better with it. Appreciate you watching!
Can’t really be mountain deer when ya can here a highway is it?
Probably should've turned the camera towards the deer
Ok dude and the only video you have is recorded with a first gen flip phone.
Maybe next time :)
@@AquaLandRelics digital 8.
😮you're not allowed to use that sight in Pa
You should look up the regs before making an accusation. They are legal.
You had me up until 1:44.... I even made it past the cheesy forced perspective pose... Just get to the CONTENT!!!! This ain't Hollywood!
So sick of people saying there is no big buck in Pennsylvania. I've seen some pretty hefty ones my 41 years. They are just so hard to find in the mountains, but they are there ,always have been
