John shows various winter scenes as he hunts old growth forests in search of whitetail deer with his .50 cal blackpowder muzzleloader. John also builds a fire using flint, steel and char cloth during a mid January thaw. The end of the video is capped of with a reenactment of the deer John killed with his .50 caliber TVM Flintlock on the last day of the late Pennsylvania flintlock deer hunting season.

    I know I’m late to the party, but when he was walking through the fog I almost thought I was watching a French and Indian War/Revolutionary War film.

    The lack of screeching metal music and macho fist pumps makes this and all your other videos First Class. Way to go. Thank you.

    I have yet to ever hunt personally but thank you for taking me on your adventure. You really add the passion and traditions to your storytelling. Thank you.

      Unfortunately most people don’t hunt like this anymore a lot of people don’t know how to move in the woods.

    What a great video Sir!! I grew up in Forest County (Tionesta), and did a lot of hunting and fishing! My first deer season was late flintlock! My father purchased a Thompson Center Hawken kit and we built it together in our basement. A few years later he gave me a Renegade kit for my birthday!! Lots of great memories!

    The way that you present the video is spot on and great. It’s both entertaining but somewhat soothing with the scenery that is shown. This is one channel I can turn to for a break from adrenaline inducing music and exciting content.

    I enjoy all your hunts, but this one is my favorite. I think you did a great job capturing an early American settlers hunt. I particularly liked the coat you made and the firestarter was fantastic. Beautiful flintlock and perfect shot. Thanks!

      Yeah, not often does it ever look like that in the woods when i am hunting. I am glad I had the camera with me that day. Thanks!

  • @al_p
    @al_p Před 7 lety +2

    John, this is just one of the most beautiful videos on primitive trekking and hunting. Some of these scenes wouldn't have looked at all out of place in The Revenant. It's a sacrifice hauling filming gear around the woods, setting up camera shots, while setting up rifle shots. I'm sure all of use here are grateful for your work though!

    • @Leatherwoodoutdoors
      @Leatherwoodoutdoors  Před 7 lety

      Thank you! I plan to make at least one video like this a year. Its hard to find the right spot and film at the same time i am hunting plus all the editing. Just hope I can get an impact shot on camera one of these days.

    You know what that was probably the best hunting video I ever saw with the old flintlock I love it and then you had even had a deal leather clothes on and that he’ll throw over you to keep the flintlock from getting wet that was great thanks for that video

    Thanks for an insight on how deer hunting was done many moons ago.I won’t ever complain again about how hard deer hunting can be even with all the modern rifles and associated hi tech gear that us modern hunters and bush users bog ourselves down with these days. Cheers from Victoria, Australia. PS- I love the wool blanket set up.

    Hi John, As always...documentary quality filming! Absotutely beautiful woods to still hunt through! You always make us feel like we are right there with you!!! As this portrayal would have been an every day thing at one time, was impressed with how the longhunter returned, to "his" sheltered "fire spot" to relax and warm his self! Loved the blanket shawl/ coat that kept him warm and his powder dry! Did you pass on the nice buck so he could grow?? Thank you! My only regret is that I won't live long enough to see you hit your peak at huntin and filmin in 15 to 20 years Sir! Very impressive John. Bless you and yours..... Old John

    • @Leatherwoodoutdoors
      @Leatherwoodoutdoors  Před 7 lety +2

      Thanks John! I really appreciate your comments!
      as for the buck, I did not pass on him. He was illegal for me to shoot. If he had an extra point on his main beam he would have been legal. I have to count 3 points on one side excluding the brow tine.

I know u can't wait till next hunting season to get back out there. if I do all your own filming and hunting u are a bad man I could see u in a motion picture like the revanant cause u definitely have the endurance and skills for it. Like scare face said this is grade a @$!# man lol. happy hunting and be safe.
