A DEER CAMP in America's BIGGEST SWAMP | Hunting Deer with Dogs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In this video we went to a deer camp in the Atchafalya Basin. The Atchafalaya Basin is America's largest swamp and a national treasure. Deer hunting with dogs is a long-standing tradition that these hunters are proud to be a part of.
This video was funded by the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. www.atchafalaya.org
Any hunting or fishing camp always seems to be about friendship and food. There are some great memories made and stories told and luckily I can say I have been part of both. The Atchafalaya Basin is definitely a national treasure.
Just need to get you down there with the squirrel dog
@@OutsidetheLevees I don't think my pup would make the trip. I have never had a dog that gets a car sick as she does.
Brings back memories. I was born and raise in South Louisiana. Still live there but now I hunt on land I own in Mississippi but I sure cherish my days of hunting the swamps.
Thats awesome. Thanks for watching
I love it all about family and friends and making sure the young ones are there to keep the tradition rolling along that’s for taking us along
Amen brother. Thanks for watching
I think it's the freedom of the swamp. You can just relax and be yourself. No judgement!! Everyone looks after ya. Makes sure you got a plate, a cold beer, a warm place to sleep. You'll want for nothing. Just good clean fun with great Americans!!
You nailed
It brother
Couldn’t have said it better
Yes sir, love the sound of the hound Old school for sure!! remember those days well!!!❤
Amen Nate. Nothing like it.
Awesome video. I hunted deer with dogs in North Carolina years ago. What an experience. I'd love to do it again.
I’d love to hunt the Carolinas
@@OutsidetheLevees do you guys allow non-residents at the club?
I have lived long enough to realize that I never really fully appreciated what I had when I had it. What you are getting to experience is more valuable than money and more important than power. Friendship, brotherhood and good food. Thank you GOD for all your blessings.
Most of us don’t brother. Thanks for the reminder
Looks like great fun. I've only seen the Atchafalaya from the I-10 causeway. I stopped at a rest stop where they had a visitor center telling all about the swamp and the construction of the interstate through it. There was a really pretty young woman in there who was a naturalist or something with the State and was redoing and up keeping the displays. Free awesome Community coffee there as well. I spent close to an hour there. I have dogged deer before though. Got invited to the oldest deer club in Alabama called Dollarhide. One morning they held drives with dogs. Was not sure I was going to like it...or even approve! But man it was super exciting and extremely interesting. Man, deer running away from the approach of the dogs....deer running towards the dogs trying to get through the drivers...and deer doing the stealth approach. Rules were no does and bucks of six points or better. I guess I saw an over six pointer slink by who had three points up but I couldn't see the other side and a lot of deer there don't have the brow tines. He slunk by quick and then just disappeared into thin air like a savvy buck will do. Would love to hunt that way again. Cost me 93 dollars though...you see I'd only hunted bird with a plug in my pump 12ga....never deer...but the guy who invited me said you didn't have to have a plug in for deer and had me take it out and load 5 rounds. Well I forgot to put it back in and went dove hunting in Georgia in September almost a year later. I loaded two and chambered one and then put the third one in the tube. Checked to make sure the youth 1100 20ga I'd borrowed for my son had a plug but never checked mine because I'd only ever hunted birds and it was always plugged. A female Fed ranger ticketed me after I think the male ranger was going to just warn me. Then the female walked off and the guy said...you can continue hunting and just cut a stick off that bush you are sitting next to and use it for a plug. I told him I knew that and could have done it...and likely would have done it...if I'd remembered it wasn't in there, during the almost thirty minutes while I watched you guys checking the end and far side of the field. I've been so religiously aboveboard when it comes to following the regs that it kind of pissed me off!
That’s amazing man. Wish I could have been there. Thanks for watching!
Good job everyone !!! Appreciate y'all for sharing . C u next week 🤠
Thanks for watching
Brings back lots of memories. I hunted the basin and all around it.
We did man drives. I got my first deer on a drive.
Gee, thanks for taking me back to my beginning of deer hunting (1965). Since my father died when I was 7, I never was taught much about firearms or deer hunting until I got to hunt with a friend of mine at a deer camp in the Ouachita Mts. in Arkansas. The men at the camp ranged anywhere from their mid 40's to their 80's. I learned a lot about deer hunting through them, and I also learned how to spin tall tales, cuss, play poker, and freeze your rear off without complaining. IT WAS GREAT!
Sounds like a damn good time
Mena?
@@phillipneblick3826 Between Mena and DeQueen
i hunted near witter ark on 2140 acres my dad owned till he sold it and retired-killed some nice bucks there and saw some giants slipp by-some execs from tyson bought the place-oh the memories-
@@storyoc Don't they have Elk up in that area now? That's up in the Boston Mt. Range, isn't it? Or is the Boston Mountain Range a little further South?
Awesome video, it bought back many memories of hunting with my dad at the hunting camp. He loved to rabbit hunt with dogs and when I hear hunting dogs 'running' after their game, it is like music to my ears. The Black and Tan dog was doing his thing and pushing those deer, he deserved that pork chop.
Amen to that. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video man, I grew up hunting with dogs over on the north shore. We didn’t set foot in a deer stand until we moved to Texas. Memories hunting with my Dad and my Uncles that I will no doubt see clearly for the rest of my life!
That's beautiful memories man. God bless.
I'm from the Northshore and grew up hunting with dogs. Great memories!!
@@OutsidetheLevees yes sir, CB radios and dogs boxes in Toyota 4x4 pickups on p-78 buckshot mudders haha ahhh The unmistakable roar of those tires on pavement. I still use Dads old Remington 270 pump with the beaver tail fore end.
@@tigercat73 we hunted east of Abita off the Talisheek highway on the bird farm.
@@woalmann6288 Hell yea Brother I'm from Pearl River. I know exactly where you talking about. I used to hunt mosey hill hunting club and it bordered the bird farm. I'm also a logger and I've cut alot of timber in the bird farm.
Good friends, good hunt and good times. Life don't come any better than that. That's the good life. God bless.
amen
wow what a amazing time that would be!! Thank you for sharing this
Nothing like a deer camp. I bet there is some good squirrel hunting and fishing in that area. Great video, Thanks
Def some good fishing. Not sure about the squirrels. Thanks for watching.
Great video, I have never dog hunted before but it looks fun.
It's a damn good time/
Again nothing better than hanging out with ya mates, Cheers from North Queensland Australia. Where we peel prawns. Great video Thanks
Thanks for watching mate!
Good video. Showing the old way. Beautiful setting.
Amen to that. A perfect place
These are some really well done and interesting videos you are producing here.
Thank you brother. I work hard on them. God bless.
Wow!! No wonder y’all are so skinny 🤣😂!!! Wish I could experience it too!!
Lots of fun and friends and family. Good times and Good Eating!
Amen to that.
That's living the life would love to try that looks like fun. Looked like that area would be some good crawfishing all up in their.
yeah I think when the water gets right they catch. Thanks for watching. God bless.
This looks soooo friggin fun!!! I can see why it's been done for decades!! I went on my first dog hunt this year here in central Florida. It's so dang exciting!!
Man I want to deer hunt down in Florida one day
@@OutsidetheLevees and I wanna hunt Louisiana, so let's make it happen lol. I have a good friend that does a pretty successful podcast here in Florida. Y'all should link up. Really enjoy your channel brother!! Absolute quality!!
I'm in Panhandle. I use airedales and a wolf hound. I hunt bears, cougars, coons and hogs too! Where do you hunt and what kinda dogs? Jimmy was my husband and passed February.
@@jamesconner8374 first of all I'm so sorry for your loss😥. I dog hunted in Ocala national forest. I don't own dogs myself my buddy does and has dog hunted for 40 years.
Great video! No place like the deer camp.
Well said
I'm 71 yo and loved hearing the dogs run when growing up and hunting in Arkansas and the Mississippi delta on both sides of the river in Mississippi. I also never have to kill another deer because it's about fellowship and teaching the younger ones the value of what they are experiencing. Do you by any chance take on any new members? Gotta ask. LOL
Thank you for sharing those beautiful memories. I am sure they are always looking for new hunters.
This is awesome. Good stuff!
Dude I was just thinking about you yesterday
Let’s get together soon
Great video I really enjoyed that!
Thank you so much
Dogs are great help to hunters!
Yes indeed
Love the video.
Appreciate you watching T
I miss being in the lease. I hunted every one of those stand lines. Brought back some good memories. Killed my first deer a 3 point buck while hunting there. Russel drove the dogs and the deer to me. Great times. Blood bath and all!
That’s amazing
Great video
Thank you so much!
We run dogs in eastern NC. I grew up doing it and hope it never goes away. Nothing like it.
Amen to that
I don’t necessarily agree with deer hunting with dogs but nonetheless I think it’s awesome you made a video showing all parts
All good brother thanks for watching
Sure do miss those days in East Texas. They stopped our heritage.
Damn sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching
You guys ever encountered a rou garou ?
Is this at Camp Irene?
I don’t think so. I haven’t heard of that
Man I love that cabin I want to build one over in my north pasture only I want a 2 story cabin with a walk out on balcony for overseeing my pasture in
Dude it was so cool. Hope you get one!
@@OutsidetheLevees thank you
SO GLAD, hunting deer with dogs was outlawed in Texas. We have 10 times the deer now.
All good. We are glad it's still legal here. Thanks for watching
One of the main things I miss about moving north and commercialization of hunting. My kids literally have no idea how it used to be. Now unless you hunt overcrowded public, know someone, or have $$$ you are shite out of luck. The "family" isn't there any more. It's sad.
Gotta make the best out of it
Is there alot of squirrels id like to come down and squirrel hunt guys id go opposite of you all I'm in western North Carolina some flat land would be nice this is awsome guys
Not too many squirrels that we saw
I almost like the food and comradery than I do the deer hunting!!
Same
Oh mamma, a 250 on that flatboat must get it cookin'
It's a beast for sure
Cool we're the hogs great 👍 place for hogs.
Yep
Them Shelly's still hunt out there
Not sure
@@OutsidetheLevees I'm pretty sure they out there be safe have fun thanks for sharing
What’s up brother. Surgery day finely is here. Talk soon bro
Hell yeah man sending good thoughts your way
I hunted on blank river for years until they turn into a wildlife management area and cut the dogs out I went down there a few times after and it is not the same
Heard that. Thanks for watching.
Like to see a coon hunting video and a squirrel hunting video
Coming soon I promise
Wonder how many dogs become gator food
So far none from this club.
@@OutsidetheLevees I was thinking about that post after I made it. Deer season is cooler down there I imagine and gators may not be very active ? Is my line of thought correct as I am not very familiar with that area .
Yep. You are spot on
Some of my best times at hunting camp was when I never shot anything.
Amen. Thanks for watching
Charles is my uncle , they don’t make many like him
Anymore
You got that right. Thanks for watching
Culled coondawgs....
Not sure what that means
Not one peice of seasoning on the meat lmao and then took it right from the packaging to the fire. This is not louisiana 😒 🤣
Cmon bruh of course we seasoned it lol. I figured it was a given. Thanks for watching!
You will find out the more attention you bring to yourself, there are large amounts of people want to destroy your way of life. My suggestion to be quiet.
Can't hardly jump a deer down there cause they shoot everything that moves
Hmm. Not there. There’s only a few doe weekends rest is bucks only. The biggest reason for the drop-off in deer was all the flooding.
Great video love seeing you show the heritage! But I grew up where dogs are not allowed to run deer so I personally still don't agree with it. But it's your heritage and up bringing and I still like the video and like to learn about different cultures
I respect that brother. Thanks for watching. God bless.
First deer hunt I ever went on in the ‘50’s was in the river swamps North of Mobile. They used dogs and I missed a really big buck. I got a good shot but it was a shot gun only club hunt. Needless to say my Dad’s Browning Auto 5 and 00 buck did not get ‘er done.
Those boys will remember those hunts all their lives!😊
That’s beautiful memories. Wish I could have been there to see it
For me, it was the Panama Hunting club, which is now primarily the Maurepas Wildlife Managements area. Great Video
That's awesome. Good ole days
Where our club hunted is mostly Maurepas WMA as well. I still hunt it, but Ida really tore it up bad. I went scouting last October and it was bad. 80% of the trees that aren't Cypress were downed by the storm. I didn't even try to hunt it the last 2 seasons. I'm gonna go back out soon just to check it out for next season.
Maureps is a lot nastier than the basin. It takes special people to hunt it.
I grew up hunting deer with hounds in Northeast Mississippi. It’s a long standing way to hunt in the Deep South. Have not dog hunted in several years, but its still very active here. I enjoy setting in my tree stand and hear a pack chasing one in the distance.
Got to run dogs with an Uncle in Leaksville, Ms as a kid. Them hounds baying thru the pines stays with ya your whole life…
Well said
My brother had the Walkers running the hills in Redwood, Mississippi in Grandmammy bottom! What memories! The excitement of of the hounds! The blood gets to pumping! The sound of the hounds have gone quiet now.
You guys are Hunting in DC ??? Thats the biggest swamp i know of
Lol. Man I’d say a few things but they’d prob run me off RUclips lol
That's how I started deer hunting back in the 60s as a young boy. Loved it
Thanks for watching!
Some of my first deer hunts were with dogs. We didn't have tracking collars for the dogs so often times we hunted deer for 2 hours and dogs for 2 days! I transitioned from a dog hunter to a still hunter then to a Traditional Bowhunter! Bowhunting teaches you so much more about deer since you spend so much more watching deer than shooting deer! Great Times!
Yes but bow hunting it’s very solitary and kind of boring for folks like me lol. But yes I can see why you learn so much about deer doing it. Love hearing about your journey as a hunter. Thanks for watching!
@@OutsidetheLevees I do love the camp fellowship and having the kids participate!
WOW!!!! What memories this video brings back... a huge THANK YOU Jared for sharing a LA tradition with everyone!!!!
yes indeed. always working hard for my subscribers
Good one Jared!
A non hunter will never understand “the hunt”. Your friend summed it up best, he doesn’t need to kill a deer, he enjoys listening to his dogs.Watching a retriever or pointer work is a beautiful thing to see!
Well said my friend. Thank you so much for the support
That ain't hunting
Man I would love to hunt down there with the dogs! Enough of a difference from Virginia that it would be a great experience. Plus I miss my days of coming down to Louisiana and visiting customers! People are amazing and friendly down there!
Man, I sure miss hearing the hounds on a scent! Those were some great times with the New Sarpy Deer Club! We had 3,000 acres in the Maurepas Swamp. 2,000 of the acres became a Management Area around 2001 or so, and the last 1,000 acres we lost the lease to a couple of lawyers in 2005.
Amen brother. Keeping the tradition alive
That's pretty cool. I'd love to bring a truck load down there and experience it 1 time. It's way different from the way we do it here in NC.
Looks good.
Sure does
Great vid. A lot of us grew up hunting this way…thanks for sharing
Fantastic video Jared! You hit deer camp perfectly. Brought back some great old memories
Thank you so much!
Man I miss this! Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m a girl but I love hunting with my dad and run them dog in Louisiana where I am from
That’s awesome. Thanks so much for watching
This is a lazy mans hunting. You make the dogs chase the deer while you guys make weird calls and yelps, not real hunting. You can walk around, moving and what ever. Try real hunting where you set in a tree for long hours, no moving around and yelling, just staying perfectly still waiting for a deer to walk by. Like using a shotgun with 6, 8 o 10 shells full of 00 buck shot....., Not just a single bullet. 9 to like 20 hunks of lead in 1 shot, can't really miss to easy now can you....
Bro sitting for hours isn’t lazy mans hunting lol? Sounds lazy to me
All of that for 2 days hunting and nothing shot to take home. Time at camp is always good but I'd rather hunt where they have deer. Here is Pa. I shot as many as 3 in one day with a bow and arrow, and no Dogs. Lots of Big Black Bears, just getting to old and after a severe Heart Attack it's time to watch the young ones do the hunting.
To each their own brother this is a deer camp video not a deer hunting video
Love the tradition...hang on to it!
Man this was good!
My man!
I live in Warren Arkansas, a great place to deer, hog, rabbit, and racoon hunting.. I really like this video, but please wash the meat before cooking it. You have no idea of the hands and care of the cutting machines to trust not rinsing the meat before preparing....The only meat you can't rinse is ground meat..Thanks again for this great video
Thanks for the tip and for watching. God bless
Love deer camp
Thank you. My Dad and I were members of the Indian Bayou Hunting Club 50 years ago where my face was first blooded. Also 2 shirt backs.
❤
Loved running deer with dogs in mississippi. Why all the store bought meat at hunting camp?
Thanks for watching. Lot of folks to feed gotta do what you can.
I've watched this twice I really enjoy it, it reminds me of deer camp in Northern, Maine. I hope you make another derr camp video this year.
He chose poorly with his little finger. Little man should have used the biggest one.
he was good
Some of my best memories as a kid were from deer camp in east Tx out by Caddo Lake with my dad, uncles, cousins and grandpa.
Another great video thanks for sharing again 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great video!!! Well done!! We run dogs about an hour East of there!
That’s awesome man. Hope y’all had a good year
Southern tradition running hounds
Ready for the season already!
Belly full of beer and a possum Ina sack!😂
Yes indeed!
Awesome deer camp!! 🦌 👍🏻
Thank you!
Wow, deer hunting/running dogs and using rifles? Seems very unsafe! I’ve only heard and done this with shotguns.
Yeah I think only certain stands were able to shoot rifles based on placement in the hunt
@@OutsidetheLevees gotcha! I know you Cajuns are crazy, I was hoping you weren’t that crazy! Lol. Beautiful place down there, good luck in the future
A good song
Amen
Awesome camp
Definitely. Thanks for watching
Jared great video! Please, please, please give us some more videos of the dog hunting. I grew up hunting in the basin in Butte La Rose on what they call the Island and hunted with dogs from 1983 until 1998 and I miss it terribly. Nobody has these videos of dog hunting in the basin. I would love to get back into a hunting club that runs dogs. You would not by any chance be looking for members?
Brother I am not a member so I can’t say for sure. But yes I would agree that we need more dog hunting videos. I will be prepared next year.
come on man, dogs don't try to push the deer towards the standers !! Dogs follow the scent of which way the deer decides to run. Great camp, great food, great friends. Hard to beat. The state took away our dog hunting here across the border in east TX back in the mid 80's. Hope it don't ever come to that for y'all.
Yes you are correct. Sometimes we have to simplify things and speak in generalities and sometimes I just down right misspeak lol. Thanks so much for watching. God bless.
U need better dogs
They jumped like 20 deer that weekend. All does. Chill out
Banger!
Thanks my dude. This was a fun one
I’ve hunted all over and killed allot of deer but running dogs in kisatchie in north Louisiana was by farrrr my favorite memories. I’ll never forget those old men dad and the sounds of those dogs.
Well said. Wish I could have been there
Wow that's a lot of bunk beds in da camp........shrimp stew with eggs looked REAL GOOD
Oh yeah. It's a fun bunch of folks. Thanks for watching.
Hound hunting is a part of all of our history. Embrace it
Well said my friend
@Outside the Levees where I'm from we run them outlaw hounds. It's a heritage we fight to keep alive, likely the ties from our old south ancestry
I live in Oregon but the people are the same when they enjoy the true American pastime of hunting and family Thanks for sharing
I love that. Thanks for watching g
