Yesterday evening I watched a new deer hunting show on satellite television that I am sure all of you would enjoy (I don't remember the name). It was a group of older guys hunting in what appeared to be a north woods area.They didn't wear fancy hunting clothes that had sponsor names on them,they didn't drive fancy jacked up new vehicles,and they hunted with worn older guns that didn't have scopes,these guys were doing it the old fashion way. They drove their trucks up a creek bed to get to their camp,they tracked their deer for hours in the snow hoping to get a shot. And the best part about it was their were NO staged shots and NO ROCK AND ROLL music.

Don't watch hunting shows but that one might interest me.

Sounds like one of the Benoits from Maine.

Yes. I would say it is the Benoits. They are legends in Maine. I guess they track a deer for days, camping overnight, until they get it. It does help though if you have snow.

That might be the show.These were older guys that wore old worn cloths and the deer they killed were not what you would call monster bucks.They also drug their deer out by hand.

I got a friend that is makin his own huntin video, has all the neat effects but it has music lol, so far they all have had a great yr. Many many hunts caught on video from around the Southern In and in Ky. Have numberous bow hunts and gun hunts both from stands and on the ground ! Cant wait to see the finished product mainly cuz its all the ppl that I know on it lol, but the guy has done an incredible job makin the video and I actually think he may have landed a sponsor or two so who knows how far he might make it with the videos.

I recently watched a video made by the Benoits. They now wear name brand clothes, can't recall what it is, Beagle something or other I think. Looked like real good stuff actually.
I've never heard of them spending the night in the woods intentionally. They do track deer when there is snow, and they hunt big woods in the northeast and in Canada where that is really the best way to hunt. You have to be aware of your position, and know where the nearest road is at dark. It can be a long walk back to the truck, but that's part of hunting that way.

There's a great book on the Benoit's titled "Benoit Bucks". It chronicles their history of hunting and also mentions how it has changed with the times. They also describe the change in the equipment they use, firearm and clothing wise. They set up a large base camp out in the wilderness and try to return to it nightly. It's quite interesting, but doesn't really apply for hunting around here.
