Didn’t see that coming! Catch and Cook | Traditional Bowhunting Deer

  • The 2023 bowhunting season is just about over but we're back in the mountains for one last chance to put some venison in the freezer. Late season deer hunting with a self bow or recurve bow can be challenging, especially when the winter weather never arrives to start the deer migration. Nevertheless, we caught up with some of the resident deer and I made a good shot on a fat doe with my osage selfbow while hunting public land. With the light fading and the temperature dropping, I took a tenderloin out, built a fire and cooked the deer meat right in the coals. It was fantastic. I hope you enjoy the latest catch and cook video.

    Great hunt Clay. Nice to see some Midwest Whitetail tactics mixed with Western. Only recently have traditional bowhunters in this area started using loadshelfs and packing out Whitetails. In Mo they can get big and require two packs but its still more efficient then dragging. Treestands in the pines would be fun...congrats on the tenderloin!! Good job.

    I must admit I’m envious of you guys. I’m in the U.K. where we can’t really do much of the kind of things in this video and it’s my idea of heaven. In recent years I’ve become drawn to (possibly obsessed with) that lifestyle.

    I had a trip last winter. My friend was hiking with me to show me an area i could set up... hes got a beautiful husky. It was a 2 mile hike across questionable ice. And i think his dog recognized that... or maybe she just did not like the slush on her paws. But she ran off right after we hit the ice. It was scary and i was worried the whole week i was out there. But when i got back... it was just like i said... "she will probably be waiting at the truck for you when you get back. And sure enough... she was. Dogs are kind of smart that way. She remembered where we parked and she went right back. But there were cayotes out there. Luckily bears were hibernating. But he was really worried the cayotes would get her. But yea. I feel for your buddy. Its nerve wracking not knowing. Im glad your buddys pup showed back up.
