I know quite a few people that hunt for a living. Some videoing and some hunting. One thing they have in common is none of them waited until they had been hunting for 40 years and were 50 years old and knew everything to start. One guy in particular grew up about a mile up the road from me, now he is about 30 and 2 weeks ago was filming and hunting stag in the mountains of New Zealand for Scent Blocker. If he took the advice you are being given he would be working in a factory saving up for his first trip to africa. Uncle Matt, He was NOT "asking" a dang thing other than for us to watch his "informative" video. And when someone comes onto a site such as this, a trading of information and learning site, how could our experience NOT mean a thing? I think you Matt should go back to the very first page of this posting and have another look at what the young man was saying before you jump down mine and others throats. If he was asking anything other than for us to click on his video I sure can't see it. |

Uncle Matt is dead on IMO. |

The only thing you showed that I'd even bother packing is a flashlight and the one you showed is little more than garbage. You want a good flashlight for hunting get a Surefire with the red lens attachment. Are you really trying to say a box cutter is a good type of knife for hunting? You then show broadheads and a trailcam that are still in the package which means you haven't used them. How do you know what will work if it is still in the package. I'd rather see a bunch of well used and well cared for equipment that has been field tested than something still in the package. Why do I need an SD card? I don't think it is possible to kill a deer with one, I can't eat it, I can't start a fire with it, I can't signal for help with it so why would I consider it a basic for hunting? For what it is worth, I shot my first deer at age 9 in 1972. I've taken over 100 deer and 67 other species of game. I've hunted about 13 states, 2 Canadian Provinces and have made it to Africa 5 times. I'm pretty sure you can't teach me anything about "hunting basics" at this stage of the game. Come back and talk to me in 15 or 20 years. |
+1 super hunt54 ---You might as well sign off this thread because all we are doing is talking to the wall! When the kid makes a video like the one he did on the archery forum and tries to tell everyone how great a broadhead is that he's trying to sell, and then turns right around and says he hasn't even had it out of the package to test it, we're fight a losing battle. Then he started getting testy when corrected on some things he stated, but the real winner in that thread was when he then told you, a seasoned veteran, to adjust your aim or quit hunting because you shouldn't be aiming for the ribs/shoulder area to put an arrow in the vitals, LOL! From here on if he posts anything more, IMHO he's going to have a lot of people hitting the ignore button! Here's his gem from that thread:
"I believe that is where you have to hit a deer and if you are hitting a deer in the ribs you need to readjust your bow sight or stop hunting. The broadhead is not designed to go through a rib or shoulder bone... Although I have seen it break it and go through it but back to my point you shouldn't be hitting a deer in the rib because just like you are saying the blade has a better chance of coming off and there will most likely be no blood trail." |

If flags and superhunt54 can just do me a favor and ignore me it would be greatly appreciated. No disrespect or anything but I don't care about your opinions anymore or your comments so please ignore me and carry on, it would make my day. I know you both are going to comment and rip me again because that's all you do so please go ahead and then just hit the ignore button. Thank you

With that post it's obvious that you are not listening to a dang thing that almost everyone else has also stated on this, as well as your other bungled broadhead thread! You are just starting out and to try and make videos at this stage in your life with a little webcam telling others that have grandkids older than you are and that have been hunting many decades how to do things when you don't even know that a deer's vitals are behind the ribs is an affront to most all of us that have been hunting for years, some as long as 3 times or more than your age! It appeared you began with a polite attitude and wanted to learn, but your nasty little comeback that Flags mentioned and now this post where you are obviously not up to taking criticism does not bode well for you. If you continue to make videos like these first two you posted on this site, you better be prepared for a lot more criticism because that is the only way you'll learn that you have a long way to go before you should be instructing anyone on anything. Now I guess you can come back and tell me to also put you on ignore. Oops, I see you just did that over on the other thread, LOL! :hit:

I would appreciate it if you hit ignore like you said you would do. Now you are saying you won't hit it so please make up you mind. I don't need your criticism and help because all you are giving me is useless information and jumping down my throat for no reason. I accepted my mistakes and will work at them as I said but you continue to come at me so I'm personally telling you to ignore me and hit the ignore button.

I did not say I was going to do that, but did say that I and many others might if you don't grow up quickly and quit acting like a little baby! If you won't take criticism given that was made to help you, then IMHO you are a loser before you even get started! I and the others are not "coming at you", but you are not making this easy on yourself by making the posts you have tonight on both of your threads. As I asked you to do on the other thread, please quit posting for the night and sit back and think about things overnight so you can come back fresh and not act like a big baby!

Young man, before you try to teach something, you should really LEARN about that subject! You have absolutely NO clue whatsoever about what you are talking about. My 11 year old daughter knows more about woodsmanship and hunting than you. But of course she has been raised like I was, in the woods as soon as she had the walking thing down pat :) so she probably has much more experience than you. LMAO@ SD cards and card readers being put in as "basic needs" Lord have mercy thanks for that laugh

I agree with your last statement gjersey, and IMHO there were a couple of other posts made that were commented on that were out of line, especially to a youngster. However, in the end after things settled down IMO super hunt54 tried to help the OP here and gave him some "attaboys", as well as trying to do the same on the broadhead thread the kid started, only to be talked down to with absolutely incorrect statements that showed the kid needs to learn before he teaches. If you will look at my posts, I believe overall that I tried to be as polite as I could be and offered what I thought was a good suggestion in how the kid might make an informational video on trail cams to get started on the right track. Tonight IMHO the kid made his own bed by making the snotty posts he did and even though I kept trying to politely tell him to back off and think things over I got nowhere and was also told to put him on ignore along with more snotty remarks. I have a granddaughter his age that is a straight A student all the way through school because she listens and learns from those who know a subject, so maybe I'm expecting too much from this kid. I think a lot may just be a misscommunication in what he was trying to do and things got carried away from there. However, one thing I will not stand for is to be shouted at by a young kid like he did in that other thread a while ago in caps when I politely asked that he sit back and think things over for the night before making any more posts. I guess he can decide whether he'll take the good with the bad and learn something or tell people he doesn't agree with to just go away, but if he chooses the latter he isn't going to get very far in life without some major setbacks.

You're not helping things one bit with that reply! The kid obviously doesn't want anything but "attaboys" and he isn't going to get them by doing what he's doing. The sooner he realizes that he at least needs to know what he's talking about before he makes a video or a post about archery hunting the sooner he will understand where people are coming from.

You are now just on here looking for a fight because that comment you quoted here wasn't up for more than one minute and was taken off and edited as a reply to our other member over about a 15 minute time frame. You need to cool off and do as I politely asked twice before earlier this evening because you're now busting your own balls, not me!

PAY YOUR DUES LIKE EVERY GENERATION BEFORE YOU DID! |
"Superhunt54", I don't want to "go look at this thread again" before i comment! My previous comment is plain & simple, re-read, digest....newbie.

Just Dress Appropriately and Score good.
If it's warm, wear layers. You are likely to be cold in the morning and evening and hot during the day. If you are bow hunting, be sure the layers are all camouflaged. Use camouflage pants,drake clothing,georgia boots or lacrosse boots etc. These will Keep your feet warm and you can keep hunting. |
Patricia you r right on with that post!

Yep, as that sure made more sense than the kids video even though he wasn't referencing clothing as a hunting basic!

This is one door that would be best to remain closed, and bolted till the end of time!

Probably....

Gentlemen and ladies.
As of late most of what has been posted here you are better off to use the Private Messaging system. Thanks JW |
The most basic tip that I would like to share for deer hunting is that human odor spooks deer, so always wear scent free cloths and wash with mint soap on the day yo are going to hunt. Because mint will cover all scent.
|
Mint may hide odor from a human, but not from a deer.

.Patricia, unless you do not breath, you will never hide your scent from deer. Using mint soap while hunting in an area that does not have mint is introducing a foriegn odor to the area and it will not cover all human scent. I will leave it at that.

If there was mint in the air where I hunt why would I need to wear it?
