  1. Hey Boss, I'm on my 3rd round on your vids from back when. I sent you a knife with a buck scribed on the handle. Thought I had your address but cant find it. I came across a cracker tin. It's in good shape, but mama doesn't care for it. It belonged to my grandmother. If I get rid of it, I'd love for you to have it. If you're interested, let me know how to contact ya. I sent the knife via UPS but they purge addresses that have been dormant for 6 months. Good luck, keep warm and God bless.

  2. I've watched this video before but I enjoy your adventures and I learn a lot from you…. keep it up…

  3. Nothing better than the taste of fresh venison! Nice deer, I wouldn’t have passed that one up either.

  4. Wow! That is great shooting, how much practice did you need before you were able to get the arrow to hit the target?

  5. Hunting on your own land, harvesting the wildlife as needed. That is the life a lot of people dream of.

  6. I can't make it home to Maine this season so I'm living through you Boss n ice deer and great shot 🙂
