I personally enjoy the videos. It passes the time in Jan, Feb and March on the years they release them. I can appreciate the fact Rodney has raised 3 boys who enjoy hunting with him enough they get together as often as possible and have a great time doing it. I wish we saw more of that in todays society when talking about hunting. I also think Rodney does a great job with volunteering his time as a hunter ed instructor . I believe his wife is as well. They're a check station for the state of Vermont . They're not getting rich doing that.
To me they have a pure, sincere , respectful approach to hunting and the animals they're hunting as well as an appreciation for the woods. I have no issue if Casey cries after killing a deer. It's not taking land away from me I can hunt, it's not representing hunters in a bad way, and it doesn't effect if I kill a deer from year to year. I've never met them personally. I'll ask what 22-25 year old young man that's good at something he loves, makes a YouTube channel with 10k followers wouldn't seem a bit "chippy"? I'm pretty certain as younger me we all gave that vibe off at one time or another. Confidence /arrogance is important in anything we try to achieve in life.
I hope they keep doing it. I find enjoyment in watching their stuff.

Earl, even when our country is upside down, people losing retirement funds, not knowing if they'll have a job when this is over, loved ones who are sick, etc..... you got to take jabs huh? Over what? The disagreement about drinking at deer camp?
You stay safe. I heard on the news your state is one of the hot zones.

I enjoy their stuff, and their sincere approach to the whole pursuit.
Funny this thread came up - they just added a video a day or two ago!

NH Hunter I wasn't talking to you. My response had nothing to do with drinking at camp. Hint: look over my response again, you just might get it. Odds are you won't.

Whatever Earl. Stay safe. I guess I can't figure out your posts. Kind of ironic I'd say.

I like their videos . They are just regular guys having a great time hunting together . I cant stand the commercial guys like the Primos gang, the Drury brothers, or the Realtree Outdoors bunch with Jim Jordan or any of those celebrities. I dont even like buying anything with their name on it anymore. That drives me nuts seeing them all decked up in their name brand
hunting gear sitting in a elevated blind that would rival a small luxury house , opening up a window to shoot that buck in the planted food plot on their 10,000 acre lease or land they own thats all posted and watch them start dancing around in the blind giving high fives while screaming " WHAT A HUNT !!! " A bunch of morons that couldn't hold a candle to lots of hunters on this site . The one exception is Jim Shockey . I like his hunting vids . I also like the Leatherwood Outdoors gang in Penn , but they have slipped a bit in recent years. Seems like they are focused more on driving deer rather than hunting like they used to.

I enjoy the videos. They are passionate about deer hunting. Looks like they are having fun. And they are spending quality time with family. Maybe a little too much chit chat on the video, and a little too much guys hugging. But, those are very minor criticisms. I have shot many deer, and been a part of many others. Never once did I see guys hugging in the woods. A lot of handshakes, high fives, and back slapping. Oh yeah, and we would have a beer back at camp!

Do the Elmer's secretly read this forum? They have dropped 2 videos since you posted this.

LOL I thought the same thing. One was dropped two days after it was posted. I hope so. I like what they do. I'm a fan of their approach. I don't mind Casey getting teared up. Obviously being in the woods is their life and Rodney gets to do it with his sons. He's a lucky man.

No doubt. Him and his wife did something right with those boys.

I hope they are reading again this year. I'm ready for some new videos. I assume the podcast didn't do well enough for them to continue? I know me personally, I like to see video with the content I'm listening to. I might put a podcast on in the truck , but absolutely would rather "watch" the channel. Hell.... I just started using Pandora. LOL

I enjoy their videos also and was looking forward to seeing more from this year. Maybe just a rough year? A lot of people don't want to watch videos unless there is a dead deer at the end. I tend to like videos that show hunting adventures and appreciate getting to go along for the journey.

Agreed. It was awesome I thought.
