@ underdog outdoors No property taxes?!?! Only if he’s in a lower income bracket! Otherwise he is absolutely paying for that public lands! Not to mention the fees associated with Pitman Robertson act.
Just noticed Hal Blood in the intro to this series. Now I'm pumped to see Mark try to tack a big Maine buck. Not many hunters track deer, but here in Maine it is a tradition and in places with low deer densities its often the most effective method.
I remember hearing the podcast on Exodus talking about doing this series and ive been so excited. Mark, you are largely respected and devoted to the sport. I look forward to the rest of this series and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far.
My heart dropped for you when I saw that rack pop up at 5 yards, I knew what was about to happen. Wish you would have done 5-7 days on these trips instead of 3. That area was primed, bet you would have figured it out with a few more days.
I enjoyed the first two episodes, but this is one that I have been looking forward to. Tony is such a nice helpful guy and this style and terrain is completely different than the hills of West Virginia. I definitely want to try it some year. Thanks for sharing this Mark.
Love this episode. Real life even when alone it's not easy even when it appears it is. This was a good hunt and learning new techniques. I am going to apply in my area regardless of terrain. Thank you. You all at meat eaters are appreciated 🙏🏼
Great episode. Family is everything! Great way to end it. Decoy hunting scares the hell out of me because you have to put trust in your fellow hunters that you don’t know. Be safe!
I agree, but if your shooting at a buck/any large game without seeing it in your binoculars or sights and not seeing a human behind it....you should NOT be hunting.
Wow, very exciting and so hard. I see why most people wont take up hunting. It is tough. Especially, missing family and wanting to be around family. Good on you Mark for trying it out. Hard to be away from family. Keep up the good work. 🦌🦌🦌🦌
Grew up hunting white tail up in the panhandle of Nebraska. My town had a replica of Stonehenge made out of old cars and we liked to get together and shoot cannons
Hey there Vermonter here. I agree there's no where like home. I've always wondered Michigan compares to VT. Seems to me it's somewhat the same besides the real nice one's that come out of Michigan now an then. Any thoughts?
Mark! Grow that goatee Bro', go big, go biker big. No really, it's where one's medicine comes from, your mojo. Grow it out like supernatural antennae for deer. Dig?
I wonder why some hunters say " tonight were hunting this place". I say morning and evening because it always makes me think your about to pull out the ole spotlight and shine for deer when you say tonight
Instead of a cardboard deer decoy, you and the camera guy should dress in a giant deer costume, you in front and him behind. That would fool almost any buck in those woods. 😂
Worked hard and tried your best. Maybe try not sitting right next to the decoy. That's where the deer's eyes will be fixed. And most certainly be able to pick you up.
I get the whole family first thing, and most hunters would agree but the whole “gosh id stay but I really need to see my family” thing falls on deaf ears when he’s being paid and is on a film production schedule for the hunt. I mean he could have kicked around DC another day too after he smoked that doe in the guts but didn’t…
There was this dude that i saw, driving and talking to a camera and looking at his phone.... I didn't like it so i pulled up next to him and chucked my beer at him.
That type of decoy is primarily used in bow season. I imagine their some knot heads somewhere who do it during rifle season, but why? If Mark was rifle hunting that big tank would have been dead without the decoy. So, yes it’s primarily for archery to help get closer to deer, but there aren’t legal constraints keep a gun hunter from doing the same as far as I know.
I'm sure like myself alot of ppl here subscribed to this channel because they liked Steve Rinella but over the last year or longer he's been in like maybe 4 videos ..WE NEED MORE STEVE 😫
I stumbled across MeatEater thinking it was a cooking show, just saw the title and clicked. Aaaand going hunting for the first time in 20+ years. I talked about it so much my family thought Steve was like a work friend of mine.
I love eating meat. I don’t like the idea of taking life but humans have been hunting and eating animals since the beginning of time, so, humans are carnivores by nature. It’s why we have those 2 sharp teeth called “canines”. I could eat just chicken and beef for the rest of my life! I’ve always wanted to try deer.
I hate to say this, because I love Meateater shows. This method of hunting is ridiculous in my mind. You didn't see deer after awhile because I think your scent probably permeated the entire area and they moved out temporarily. Other than this episode, you guys do great work, but I think you were chasing your tail on this one.
No cellular cameras making a visual perimeter around your “farm” so you know the date and time your favorite drop tine 12 pointer you named after your momma, Balslappy, showed up. You ambushed it from your heated $5000 plastic stand you have mounted on your $10,000 trailer you pulled to the spot with your $85,000 3/4ton dually you named Bambi after your favorite girlfriend. What you see on this channel is HUNTING.

If you’re not familiar with their website check that out. Three articles a day as well as an abundance of phenomenal information.
Ehh
No food plots, no property tax, no hotel rooms, such a cool season this guy has!
And no deer meat haha JK still a great vid,

@@soonerfrac4611 So true!!

Hands down the best episode so far of your whitetail series. Well done and enjoy your family.
I see a Vegetarian cook book under the tree at the Kenyon household this Christmas.....

I live in quebec canada near the border just north of jackman
I hunt mostly like you Hal blood is famous here to for that
Mark is one of my favorite hosts
Its like a field and stream article comes to life. 😊
Thanks for your contributions to the hunting society
I see you with that Howler bros hat! Def trying to catch trout while you were out there.
I remember hearing the podcast on Exodus talking about doing this series and ive been so excited. Mark, you are largely respected and devoted to the sport. I look forward to the rest of this series and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far.
Amazing. You never fail to create. Thank you. Rinella and the boys and girls at meateater are amazing. Keep it up.🙏

Bless Mark for not taking a 5 yard snap shot at 23:00. Amazing to witness. I am so glad ethics prevailed over surprise and buck fever.
The series is awesome. So many great ways to hunt.
Are you guys doing one week in November again? Loved that series last year.
I enjoyed the first two episodes, but this is one that I have been looking forward to. Tony is such a nice helpful guy and this style and terrain is completely different than the hills of West Virginia.
I definitely want to try it some year. Thanks for sharing this Mark.
Thanks for the kind words Forrest!

@@brendanwhyte2592 I read a stat somewhere that for every deer taken in gun season its 2.5 shots. Lots of people shouldn't be hunting lol
A whole season of REAL HUNTING!!!!! No high fences, no bucks you've watched grow up for 4 years!! Straight hunting baby looove it!!!
Wow, very exciting and so hard. I see why most people wont take up hunting. It is tough. Especially, missing family and wanting to be around family. Good on you Mark for trying it out. Hard to be away from family. Keep up the good work. 🦌🦌🦌🦌
Great show. For all these shows, the cameramen are incredible and deserve praise
I like the Sitka gloves!
Hey Mark and the MeatEater crew, I enjoy all of you, the work you guys do from a-z and all of your products! Keep up the great work MeatEater crew!
This one and the Arkansas hunt with Clay are my favorites
Know exactly how you feel about the kids mark. Crazy how your perspective changes! Great episode
What a stud buck at 5 yards!
Awesome adventure for Mark
I’ve hunted with both Tony’s dad & his brother. Cool video
Yeah they no how to put a show together. Best on the planet
2 more months until whitetail opens in my area. looking forward to getting out again!
How have I lived in Nebraska my whole life and never been on a hunt like this and these dudes out here rackin em up 😂😂😂
Amazing episode! The ending really struck a chord with me
Loving the new series Man
Well, looks like someone found my favorite spot in Pine Ridge.
Great to see you have your priorities straight. Those kids will be gone before you realize it. That would be a tough way to hunt.
I see so many hunters that wait too long to knock an arrow. It pains me. So close though!
gee it looks really hard, so many variables but appreciate the huge effort.
Grew up hunting white tail up in the panhandle of Nebraska. My town had a replica of Stonehenge made out of old cars and we liked to get together and shoot cannons
A little David Allen Coe campfire cover on the opener…
Nice…
Very interesting content Mark🙌 .
I love the variety👊.
Good Hunting!
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
I wanna see the episode snow tracking bucks in northern New England !!!!!
audio mixup by the river was hilarious lmao
I'm a simple man, I see a video with Mark, I click like
I wonder if those bucks were freaked out by a single buck rattling his horns all by himself. Maybe do grunts or a snort weeze or something else??
Great video!
Great video. There's no place like home.... even if it is Michigan.
Hey there Vermonter here. I agree there's no where like home. I've always wondered Michigan compares to VT. Seems to me it's somewhat the same besides the real nice one's that come out of Michigan now an then. Any thoughts?
@@patrickbranon5444 Michigan is flat as hell compared to VT. I would miss the mountains.
Super awesome, but I thought you were supposed to wear the decoy as a hat and use a long bow! I like the upgrade lol
Man that looks fun.
Mark! Grow that goatee Bro', go big, go biker big. No really, it's where one's medicine comes from, your mojo. Grow it out like supernatural antennae for deer. Dig?
That’s some pretty country.
Love it.
Hey love the videos. FYI, the playlist is backwards.
Mark out here acting like that decoy is the cloak of invisibility 🤣
I wonder why some hunters say " tonight were hunting this place". I say morning and evening because it always makes me think your about to pull out the ole spotlight and shine for deer when you say tonight
new episode!
Love this guy
Very Cool!
Nebraska ❤️
i’ve got two weeks ish until now opener and it couldn’t come any sooner
Instead of a cardboard deer decoy, you and the camera guy should dress in a giant deer costume, you in front and him behind. That would fool almost any buck in those woods. 😂
Plains Indians would skin out a deer and put on the hide and get right up close enough to kill with their bows back in the day.
Anyone on here ever hunt in Nebraska on public land? Looks cool
So are you going to every single state that has whitetail?
That's why you stay ready. If you aren't messing around getting ready as he's walking up on you he's dead. Stay ready people.
What brand of decoys are those?
Looks like a heads up decoy.
Heads Up Decoy
Worked hard and tried your best. Maybe try not sitting right next to the decoy. That's where the deer's eyes will be fixed. And most certainly be able to pick you up.
I'm pretty damn sure that you're sitting where I've sat before on the Dismal River....

Hi Stephen
Is Wisconsin on the list?
Mark “How do you manage life with this lifestyle”
Tony “blah, blah, blah we don’t have kids, blah, blah, blah”
Mark’s look: “Oh”
😂😂😂
If I guess the area y'all at please take me hunting 😂😂😂
That's both a let down and uplifting. Great show.
5 yds! been there...
Maybe not setting up directly behind the decoy?
Intense.
There was this dude that i saw, driving and talking to a camera and looking at his phone.... I didn't like it so i pulled up next to him and chucked my beer at him.
Mark I'm just wanting to tell you that Steve rinella would have got him.. step up your game man!
private or not, Isnt it dangerous to be hiding behind a decoy?
not during bow season
That seems like a very good way to get shot…
Or is it an archery only season?
(I’m a British hunter here with no experience with public land)
That type of decoy is primarily used in bow season. I imagine their some knot heads somewhere who do it during rifle season, but why? If Mark was rifle hunting that big tank would have been dead without the decoy. So, yes it’s primarily for archery to help get closer to deer, but there aren’t legal constraints keep a gun hunter from doing the same as far as I know.
Do not use a decoy during rifle season EVER!!!
Casey
I'm sure like myself alot of ppl here subscribed to this channel because they liked Steve Rinella but over the last year or longer he's been in like maybe 4 videos ..WE NEED MORE STEVE 😫
I mean, he is in every episode of the main show, weekly podcasts, just published a book, as well as having a family. He’s only one guy! 😂😂😂
I stumbled across MeatEater thinking it was a cooking show, just saw the title and clicked. Aaaand going hunting for the first time in 20+ years. I talked about it so much my family thought Steve was like a work friend of mine.
Agreed
Agreed
You’ve got to slow it down brother, deer are smarter than they look
Shows Drone footage, next scene he’s stalking a buck 😂
Should have been drawn back as soon as you knew he was coming
Two times lost a deer trying to hide behind that damn decoy. With a tree for cover 5 yards away.
You should have kept the camera man farther back. That is what I would have done. still could have gotten video footage.
need a better decoy, like the Ultimate Predator that sticks on to your bow to hide behind
The coyote hunter in me thinks move that decoy away from you.
On that very close one, its to bad you were not right next to that small bush in front of you. Good entertainment however.
I love eating meat. I don’t like the idea of taking life but humans have been hunting and eating animals since the beginning of time, so, humans are carnivores by nature.

Other than this episode, you guys do great work, but I think you were chasing your tail on this one.
Except for the buck that came within 5 yards of him. So your theory is probably wrong
Hunting means a lot more than ranches that are the main problem for Hunting.
There should be a disclaimer: Don't try this during rifle season.
This is what I thought!!
Illegal where I am to use decoys during rifle
Where the FUCK IS STEVEN R 😂
i wish we could all hunt at a buck farm
Where's Steve?
probably on meateater
Don't stand up so fast, you would have gotten that one that walked up on you.
You got into a Ford and drove away in a Dodge
Why is he whispering in the middle of nowhere?
No way sitting behind a deer decoy backfires and gets someone hurt
Lol!
😂
By that thinking, the safest place for you is right where you are, in your chair at your house....
@@Neon_Caveman alongside you
I do a similar thing for turkeys. Pretty neat just gotta think ahead.
No cellular cameras making a visual perimeter around your “farm” so you know the date and time your favorite drop tine 12 pointer you named after your momma, Balslappy, showed up. You ambushed it from your heated $5000 plastic stand you have mounted on your $10,000 trailer you pulled to the spot with your $85,000 3/4ton dually you named Bambi after your favorite girlfriend.

Man your holding a buckhead model on your body on public hunting territory?
Crazy or stupid that or its not really public land
What I'm worried about is that people would be able to mistake half a 2D deer for the real thing for more than a few seconds, let alone shoot at it...
