hunting the whitetail deer.
(dramatic music)
Now, when hunting, sometimes you can't always
find a place to hang a stand,
or it's not feasible to create a permanent box style blind.
In those cases where you've got to be mobile
and adapt to the current hunting situation,
choosing one of the myriad of portable pop up blinds
will pay off.
These fabric blinds come in all shapes and sizes,
and offer a plethora of features that allow hunters
the ability to quickly set up in a variety of locations.
And be able to hunt a wide range of locations,
while being concealed.
We'll share our feelings, experiences and strategies,
while we also showcase a few hunts from pop up blinds
in today's episode.
- You know, pop up blinds, as I like to call 'em,
they're basically a portable blind that comes out of a box
and you can set 'em up in a lot of different situations,
a lot of different places,
whether it's just for a one day hunt,
or you're setting it up to last for the season.
A few things that I always like to keep in mind
is obviously the construction of the blind,
if I plan on leaving it out for a long time,
and making sure that I get it anchored down,
both tying it off, and driving stakes in the ground
if it's gonna be there a while.
But if it's just something that I'm gonna go out and hunt
for you know, a day or two,
you can just pretty much just pop 'em up and sit down
and you may get lucky right away.
- You know, I love hunting in pop ups,
and the cool thing about pop ups
is you literally can put 'em anywhere.
What I love is is I love kind of scheming
of where deer are gonna come from,
so if I think they're gonna come from a certain area,
and you know deer are gonna do different things every time,
but you kinda have and idea of which way
you think they're gonna come from.
Usually you're either setting up a pop up on a trail,
a place where deer are gonna be traveling
from a bedding area to a feeding area or at a feeding area.
And so, one of the two is usually the best way to go.
The feeding area can be a food plot,
it can be an area that you're actually feeding deer at.
It can be an area that there's green stuff,
it can be a lot of acorns, it can be just about anything.
Wherever you can find deer spending a lot of time,
that's where you'd stick a pop up.
And so, you gotta think about your wind.
When you're thinking about your wind, you know,
a pop up actually will hold a lot of your scent in there.
But still, there's gonna be a little bit of it leak out,
so you would prefer that your wind
be blowing straight in your face.
- [Wade] I mean, I don't know how many deer hunts we've done
out of pop ups over the last, I don't know, 20 years,
but it would be a lot.
You know, pop ups allow you that flexibility
to set up on a deer real quick.
It allows you great ability to hide cameramen as well.
It allows you the ability to get drawn in position,
sometimes you may not be able to for a bow hunter.
It will give you cover
from inclement weather at times even out there,
and finally, it allows you to set up in places
where tree stands and tripods just simply will not work.
- [Narrator] We'll start off this episode
with Michael Wersig, Clark's son in law,
as we follow him on his first handgun hunt
for a special buck.
- My first hunt of the year.
We're going after a velvet buck.
It's gonna be my first handgun ever.
Went down to the range, practiced a lot.
I feel like we're on pretty good.
We're gonna take the Viking six out there,
and hopefully we can make it happen.
So we had this one particular buck,
kinda on the edge of where these two draws come together.
We set up a pop up in the area, and I mean,
they just kinda worked this area early in the morning.
So, we decided to go ahead and trifle.
You know, I'm hunting with a Smith and Wesson
Performance Center .460, and yeah,
I've never hunted with a handgun before.
So that involved me going down to the range,
and I mean, I spent a couple hours down there
just shooting, just trying to get comfortable
with what I was gonna hunt with.
And I mean, what I had to do is,
I mean, I really had to kinda go back to the roots
of open sights hunting.
I mean, now a days, you don't really think about it,
but it takes practice.
I mean, it's like shooting your bow,
you've gotta get everything lined up,
you almost, you have to have kinda anchor points,
and I mean, you just gotta do everything the same.
And the only way to get good at anything is just practice.
And that's just the only way to build confidence
in any weapon you're gonna use.
So we're hunting with Hi Viz fiber optic sights,
and the cool thing about this sight
is the front sight has tritium in it.
And what that does, is I mean,
in low light, it'll give you,
I mean it almost looks like a glow stick
whenever you're hunting.
But then, in the day time, you can still see
or it's not too bright to blind you.
I mean, it's the best of both worlds
is really what it is.
I mean, it's just pretty cool sitting in the stand.
You know you can shoot early, or you can shoot late,
and you're covered.
(gentle music)
So the first morning we get in there,
and I mean, you know, it's early,
and we got deer covering us up.
I mean, they are everywhere,
and we did end up seeing the shooter the first morning
but he kinda stayed behind this thick little bunch of trees
and you know, camera guy couldn't see him,
I couldn't get a shot.
It just never really worked out.
He was a little bit nervous, and you know,
sometimes, that's just the way it goes.
I mean, from beginning of the first morning
to the end of it, I mean, we saw our deer.
I was an exciting hunt, I mean you got to get excited
that you see your shooter.
I mean, how can you not have fun with that?
I mean, you get to come out the next day
and try to get your shooter, so I mean, overall,
I just love sitting in the blind and watching deer.
- [Narrator] When we return,
Michael continues his hunt for his velvet buck.
(dramatic music)
And later in the show, Wade hunts out of a pop up
as well as with a TenPoint Nitro X crossbow.
Ah, stay tuned.
The Yamaha Whitetail Diaries is brought to you by
Yamaha's proven off road ATVs and side by side vehicles,
Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's, your adventure starts here,
Garmin Xero, leave the guesswork behind.
Welcome back to the Yamaha Whitetail Diaries
with Wade Middleton.
We saw Michael begin his first handgun hunt,
but his deer never gave him a shot,
and with this buck being active in the mornings, well,
Michael sets out for another morning hunt.
- We're going out this morning.
It's an early season hunt.
We've got a couple deer still in velvet.
We've got one particular deer we're going after,
and to top it off, I'm hunting with a handgun.
I've never done that before,
and I am real excited to go out there.
I mean, I've always wanted a velvet deer,
had one chance in the past, it didn't work out.
So I got a second chance.
We're going with the Performance Center .460.
It's gonna be an awesome hunt.
So the area that we were hunting in, it's this,
it's this ridge between two draws,
and I mean, it's just flat out pretty.
I mean, you're there and there's a little road
coming down the side of it, and the sun comes right over it,
and I mean, it's just gorgeous.
I mean, you couldn't ask for a better place to hunt.
We're hunting out of a Cabela's pop up,
and I mean, when you're open sights hunting with a handgun,
I mean, you want those deer within 20, 25 yards,
and a pop up is almost always an easy way to set it up.
So I see the deer cross the road.
He's the shooter, I know he's the shooter we want.
And he gets behind these trees,
and he just kinda camps out back there for a little bit.
I guess he's just eating some of those acorns
off those post oaks,
and finally he kinda works his way through this gap,
and he comes out, and he's broadside.
I've got my Walkers on to protect my ears,
I've got my Wiley Xs on for eye protection,
and it just, it takes a little bit of movement
to get everything situated,
you know, get your rest moved, throw the handgun up there,
and pull off a good shot.
Are you good?
(dramatic music)
Are you good?
(shot fires)
(heavy breathing)
Oh, my God.
(heavy breathing)
Oh, my.
That is freaking awesome.
First pistol hunt ever,
I mean, that deer comes in about,
I don't know how many times,
he comes in, he comes out, he comes in, he comes out.
Finally, he gives us a shot, and I mean,
he freaking just got smoked.
I mean, he's just dropped like nothing,
like a sack of rocks,
I mean, that is the coolest thing ever.
The cool, I mean, not only is he in velvet,
it's my first handgun buck.
I mean, the open sights,
it took me a little while to get the feel of it,
and I mean, that's cool.
I love anything that's a challenge,
and I mean, I'm pretty much addicted to that.
I'm probably gonna have to do that again pretty soon.
- [Narrator] Hey, congratulations, Michael,
on your first velvet entry
into the Yamaha Whitetail Diaries.
- [Michael] I am so excited, I mean,
this thing, it is awesome.
That was an amazing hunt.
Let's go get the Wolverine, get him packed up,
and go show the guys.

Well, coming up next,
it's Wade's turn to hunt out of a pop up,
and don't go anywhere.
The Yamaha Whitetail Diaries is brought to you by
Thompson Center, America's master gunmaker,
ConQuest Scents, hunt scents and dog training scents,
Sawyer, we keep you outdoors,
TenPoint Crossbows, perfection lives here.
Welcome back to the Yamaha Whitetail Diaries
with Wade Middleton.
This show is highlighting hunting out of a pop up blind.
We join Wade as he heads out to one right now.
- It's about 68 degrees or so this morning,
a really, really heavy dew on the ground.
Not a lot of wind, you know,
what wind we've got's kinda coming out of the southeast,
maybe two to four miles an hour.
You know, it is definitely moving in closer to the pre-rut.
We're gonna be in some pop ups,
which is kinda the theme and focus of this show.
I'm gonna go hunt, on this particular hunt,
with the TenPoint Nitro X Crossbow.
That crossbow is the smallest, most compact,
fastest, energy driven crossbow I've ever seen in my life.
And I've had the opportunity
to shoot a lot of crossbows over the years.
I love the way that you cock
this particular model that I have.
It's very simple, it's very easy to use,
whether you be in a tree stand or sitting in a ground blind,
and when you pull the trigger,
the accuracy and the energy
that's coming out of this crossbow,
is basically at this point, second to none.
I mean, I've shot hogs with it, I've shot whitetail with it,
and it just delivers an impact, that like I said,
it's unparalleled.
Hopefully what we'll see this morning,
we've got two or three deer
that we've been kinda trying to hunt on and off
all year long at this particular spot.
It's a small pop up, it's gonna be pretty close together,
but it's perfect for the situation,
because it just fits back in the brush nicely.
So we've got about 30, 45 minutes til daylight.
That'll give us plenty of time to get the Wolverine parked,
be able to get down to the stand, let the sun come up,
and regardless if we get a deer or not,
we'll see what happens.
It's your typical morning set,
that if you're in an area that has a lot of deer,
you know, you start to see a few shapes coming through.
These two bucks that were both in my opinion shooters,
one had like these real sweeping up main beams,
the other one was kind of a classical, more traditional rack
as I would call it.
They were kinda milling around from the left,
and just kinda eased through, and got out in front of us,
and were just feeding around, and you know,
it doesn't get any better to start the day.
In this situation, I mean,
I'm waiting to get good shooting light, both from the,
for the scope, but the camera,
and the deer are moving around,
and they're kinda coming from our left and right,
and we've seen a couple young bucks at the time,
and I know this is gonna be a freehand shot
out the left window.
It's in my lap, you know,
as I'm moving to get into position,
I mean, they just took off running.
They got spooked.
They're gone.
Depending on where you hunt,
sometimes deer don't even know why they ran, you know.
Was it, did a bird spook 'em,
did they get a whiff of a crazy scent,
did a sound off in the distance,
did another deer just take off running?
You know, if nobody blows, and they're not really flagging,
there's a good chance if they're on a food source,
those deer are gonna come back.
It was about 35, 45 minutes later, coming from the right,
kind of off a little rocky hill,
the deer just started working through.
And they came in from the right,
and they're just walking the whole time,
they're just kind of milling around, walking along,
and they are kinda heading back down the same trail
that we had seem them early that morning.
And I'm already on point at this point.
I like both of these deer.
The nine point to me was a more mature deer,
so I was kinda more gravitating towards him,
but I was gonna shoot either one of them.
They were both great deer,
and as they kinda got through that tall grass,
I'm already in my mind trying to position myself
in the different holes in the windows to get a shot.
You on him?
(shot fires)
(leaves rustling)
I mean, that went down fast.
We saw those two deer early this morning.
They came in actually from the left.
(heavy breathing)
This time, they came back in from the right,
and they kinda got the same together right there.
Both of 'em were good shooters.
Tough to get a shot.
Took the little freehand shot on the nine point right there.
You know, this thing is so, absolutely fast,
I mean, I know I hit him, I know I hit him
you know, kinda quartering away,
so I felt like the shot was good, but he's so fast,
that I really couldn't tell you much more than that.
I mean, it is so cool
when you can get in these pop up blinds,
you can put 'em in a lot of different situations.
This one's got a mix of ways that you can build your,
put your windows up.
We've got most of 'em closed
and the sun's coming up behind us,
and you know, we had really a perfect situation.
I really thought I was gonna get a shot this morning,
and a little bitty buck came in on the side
that I didn't know was there,
picked me off raising my crossbow.
This time later in the day, as they were coming back,
you know, who knows what direction they were going,
and why, but they came back in the perfect angle,
gave me a shot.
I feel pretty good, think we smoked that one.
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] When we return, Wade gathers the search party
and start to track Wade's buck.
The Yamaha Whitetail Diaries is brought to you by
Smith and Wesson Performance Center,
performance when it matters most,
Hi Viz Shooting Systems, see what you've been missing,
Purina Quick Draw mineral blocks, a difference you can see.
Welcome back to the Yamaha Whitetail Diaries
with Wade Middleton.
Wade is confident he made a good shot on a solid nine point,
but as he says, you never know
until you get your hands on 'em.
- You know, just like we always do,
'cause we've got the benefit of a camera,
we play the shot back,
and exactly kinda what I thought happened,
I felt like I was back when I took that shot.
The deer actually takes a step right when I pull the trigger
and I probably tugged it a little bit, too,
because he was easing out on me, and you know,
if you get excited, that happens,
but he's quartering away when I take the shot,
I go in back, but that was the angle I was shooting at.
Obviously, I'm trying to be a lot more forward right there,
and go out, but actually,
I think it went through his whole body cavity
at that speed and that much energy
at about 30 yards right there.
Watched him run off, he was hunched up good,
but I'm gonna give him about an hour, hour and a half,
and slide on out of here.
You know, that's just the best advice
that I could give somebody in that situation.
When in doubt, back out and give him a little time.
Like I said, he took a step,
and I think I pulled it a little bit, you know.
Up and down on his body, I hit right where I was aiming,
but I'm back about four inches, maybe five
from where I was trying to get that shot.
And that's the difference in a step,
and a little bit of a tug by me when I pulled the trigger.
That goes to show you, when you're shooting anything,
you know, ethically out there,
you want to do the best thing you possibly can.
If you think about that shot,
guys that are trying to make
these 80 yard shots with crossbows, I mean,
you shot him in the butt.
I'm only 30 yards right here,
you know, that deer gets two steps
versus that distance there,
it's just, you know, your crossbow can do it,
but let's just be smart when we take those shots.
It's kinda tough on me right now,
but we're gonna find that deer.
So when we came back and got everybody,
and we kinda did our little deal,
we got all of our cameras rolling,
and everybody's milling around, nobody's finding any blood,
off goes Clark, you know, he just goes bee bopping along
down the hill, and all the sudden, he's walking around back,
he's already found the deer.
- It's only 50 yards, maybe 80.
- (laughing) It wasn't even any challenge.
- I see a big white belly, I think it might be a deer.
(laughing)
- That's why you bring your helpers.
(laughing)
We really needed 'em a lot this morning.
I just wanted to go get a taco.
(laughing)
- You know, the great thing is Wade, is you hit that deer,
it looked like, I mean, when we looked at the footage,
it looked like it was back, but he was quartered so hard,
it came out, even forward of the front leg.
- Yeah, more or less.
I mean, I was aiming, at the, you know,
at that opposite side shoulder, that's what I like to shoot
if I'm gonna take that shot.
I still feel like I pulled it
a little bit from where I was aiming,
but man, I mean, and he stepped on me.
When you slow motion, - Right.
- and you can really see it,
but that's where I was trying to go.
I would never take that shot
at a deer quartering the other direction towards you,
but when they're quartering away,
they open up a lot of stuff. - They really do.
- I mean, it went through everything.
- Yep.
Quartering away is always kinda what you,
if it's not perfectly broadside, at least a little away,
and you know you're gonna be good.
- Yeah, you got a lot of places to put it in.
- That's right. - I mean, if it wouldn't
have been for that bush,
I'd have seen him rolling right there,
- I think you would. - 'cause I was watching
the whole time, and I said, when, go down, go down, go down.
- No, that's a great deer.
- It is.
Boy, he was pretty this morning when he came out there.
He came in with another deer that,
man, he was such a bigger more mature looking deer.
Had a little bit of dew on his antlers, shining out there.
- Beautiful.
- Came through early, we couldn't get a shot,
we got busted, and then they circled back around,
later on and came right back.
Thanks for the tracking help, Clark.
(laughing)
- I didn't do anything,
but I'm glad I got to be in on the recovery.
That's pretty fun.
- Look, there's a white belly.
I think we got him. - I think we got him.
- [Narrator] Congratulations, Wade,
