Today we are deer hunting in New York State. And this buck appears out of nowhere!
We are using a tree saddle system for deer hunting, and the cameraman is too. You'll see us have to try and negotiate where we are on the tree to get the shot, but, that's the beauty of hunting deer from a saddle setup.
Whether you like Tethrd Saddles, Trophyline Saddles, or Latitude Saddle Systems, or any other type of saddles for deer hunting, there's no question many hunters are moving to a saddle stand for deer hunting.
Unique to this deer hunting video is that we use the Mossberg Patriot 6.5 PRC.
The 6.5 PRC is an exceptional choice for deer hunting, offering a compelling blend of speed, energy, and accuracy. Its high ballistic coefficient cartridge maintain velocity exceptionally well, leading to a flatter trajectory and less wind drift—critical for ethical shots at varying distances. This translates to superior downrange energy transfer, ensuring clean, humane kills on even larger whitetails and mule deer.
Hunters appreciate the 6.5 PRC's manageable recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and extended range sessions without fatigue. Its inherent accuracy makes it a favorite among those seeking precision hunting rounds, while the ample bullet selection (120-156 grain) provides versatility for different hunting scenarios. For deer hunters prioritizing long-range performance and terminal ballistics, the 6.5 PRC truly excels.
In this video, I take you through my very first season on the new farm. With the Mossberg Patriot LR Hunter chambered in 6.5 PRC, I set out to learn the land, hang some cams, and get after some mature bucks we had on camera.
What started as an uncertain hunt turned into one of the most memorable mornings of my life. We got in a tree with zero expectations, and ended the sit with one of the best bucks I’ve ever taken.
Whether you're here for the gear, the story, or just love whitetail hunting, this one's for you.
