All Public-Land Deer Hunting DVDs

By Scott Bestul

I’ve been watching hunting videos for a couple of decades now and, for the most part, I consider myself a fan. While I won’t burn any hunting/outdoor (or other quality) time on watching other people hunt on TV, I’m happy to watch videos in the rare moments when I have nothing else going. And like many of you, I have my favorites; shows where the videography is great, the whitetails are pretty and the hunters portrayed seem like pleasant-enough individuals.

For the most part, I view such media strictly as entertainment. Most hunts are filmed with outfitters (which I can’t afford) or on big tracts of managed land (also not on my financial radar). So while I certainly don’t begrudge the guys who do get to enjoy such luxury, I also never kid myself that what they are experiencing mirrors the whitetail hunting that I enjoy.

But I stumbled onto a different type of video team just last summer. They call themselves “Whitetail Adrenaline” and their motto is refreshingly simple: “No guides, no outfitters, no sponsors.” I met co-owner Jared Scheffler last year and he rides herd over a bunch of young, hungry guys who love to hunt deer. But here’s the difference; they also recognized that what got them into the sport—finding and hunting deer on small farms and public land—was largely ignored by most other production crews. Indeed, the latest offering by the WA crew is a video comprised entirely of hunts on public land. I find such commitment admirable, and far more reflective of the hunting experience most of us enjoy. I wish them the best of luck in marketing their unique product, and I encourage you to check out their website to view some preview clips and see if you might agree with me.

This is a hunting show I will support. I only hunt public land, and just the other day was telling my buddy we should start filming our hunts and have a show of 100% public land hunting. It is definitely a niche of the market the productions compainies have been missing. I am very glad that someone is doing it.

Great idea. I wish the boys the best of luck. They have taken away all the things I dislike above movie hunts.

I couldn't access the web site but it sounds like something I would like. I only hunt state and federal lands because that is all I can afford and maybe not for long. My states DNR has recently started charging $10 per day to hunt certain lands, not that the hunting is any better they are just some of the most popular ones, and as most of you know once a government agency figures out that it can grab some of your money it wants to grab some more. As for the majority of the hunting shows on tv I get plenty tired of some rich guy who spends more on corn for his automatic deer feeders anually than I earn telling me I shouldn't shoot a young buck. I think the young ones taste better!

Is that a Remington 7600 or 760 pump he's holding? That's pretty cool - you won't see that on the other videos. You know you're for real when you shoot one of those and not a Sendero or something for your 300 yard shot at a pen raised monster buck that is trained to walk by every evening.

I hate to watch canned hunts but I do like love Public land Fishing & Hunting that are unguided. The best show I love to watch and appreciate the most is Sir Tred Barta.

Nothing thrills me more than, I did it myself!

I wonder how Tred Barta is doing?

I purchased both of the dvd's and they are ausome they show everything even if a shot is not perfect and the misses it's all public land these guys are great hunters. After I watched these videos the realtree movies don't come anywhere close to how good Whitetail Adrenaline ones are. They seem like great people and there out there to have a good time. Great dvd's guys.

It's about time that this came out! Every once in awhile a show will be about "Public Land" but of course they usually switch to some outfitter! I would dare to say that about 85% of all Hunters, hunt on public land mostly and every once in awhile get a chance to hunt on "Private Property". So, I say that I'm all for it!!

Public land hunting is far better, I feel, than small-acre hunting. Going out to hunt with a friend for fun while enjoying trophy-style benefits is cool, of course, but the true worth of a hunter is determined by his skill at being adept in the woods, not being the one who ate the most raw-boiled eggs the night before he went out and bagged a big one.

i love the outdoor channels they are on almost all the time at my house. I always try to pick out the shows that are doing it for real and the ones that hunt in pens. i will definitely buy this video at least i know i had the same chance at the deer they shoot. keep up the good work! Wisconsin has a ton of public land so if you get the chance to hunt here please take it if you haven't already!

Nice to see people that are hunting on camera just for the love of it, instead of sponsorships and such. Too many shows try and show off the new products of the year, and it really does take away from the show.
