HUNTING VIDEOS
Scott and Lee from www.cainsoutdoor.com are back for an early season squirrel hunt using black powder double barrels.
John S. Bailey, II with McGregor Mountain Rod and Gun, LLC. guides Scott Cain and Lee Gilliam from www.cainsoutdoor.com on a black powder pheasant hunt.
Today we pay tribute to the spaghetti western. As Lee Gilliam plans to use his Marlin 1894c rifle, chambered for 357 Mag./38 Spl., for an upcoming hunt, the guys can't help but reflect on the good ole cowboy days. This leads to a desire to try their hand at acting and make their own cowboy western.
Since a whole western would require more time and effort than anyone really wants to invest, they settle for creating a short film and making it part of the hunt. How did they do? I don't think Hollywood will be calling anytime soon, but not bad, guys. Not to bad at all.
After putting the wraps on their "Big Screen Debut", Scott and Lee get down to the business of setting up the hunt.
As mentioned, Lee is going to use his Marlin 1894c rifle. To help pick up a little distance and accuracy, he has added a Nikon Prostaff Scope and plans to use Hornady's LEVERevolution® ammo with the patented elastomer Flex Tip® technology of the FTX® and MonoFlex® bullets.
Lee Gilliam shows the proper way to maintain a handgun to extend the life of your purchase.
Eastern Outdoors TV tags along for a snow goose hunt in Pennsylvania.
John Bailey takes Travis Settle on his first West Virginia Turkey Hunt hunting the WV Youth Season.
In a previous episode, Lee Gilliam uses a Horton Legend 175 crossbow and calls in a very respectable bird to his blind. After a week of bragging, Scott Cain has had about enough and thinks it's his turn to do a little hunting while Lee watches the store. So, that is exactly what he does.
Scott has decided to take a new toy to help him on his quest. A GhostBlind. If you don't know what that is, visit their site and find out. They are very cool. The reflective surface creates a perfect blind in any condition. Brown leaves, green grass, white snow. Where ever you are, that is what your blind looks like. Check them out at www.ghostblind.com. You won't regret it. But make sure you watch the video first.
On this episode of Eastern Outdoors TV, Lee Gilliam invites us along on a turkey hunt. His weapon of choice this year is the Horton Legend 175 Crossbow. This setup includes the scope package and everything you need right out of the box.
After a few shots from the crossbow and some friendly shots back and forth between Lee and store owner Scott Cain, we're off to the woods in search of dinner.
We arrive to our blind at about daylight. We were probably pushing our luck a little and should have started 20 minutes or so earlier. But luck was on our side because it wasn't long before Lee had an interested gobbler answering his calls.
This was Scott and Lee's first show with Eastern Outdoors TV. They were very comfortable on camera from the beginning. From this first episode, they immediately started coming up with ideas for future shows.
This episode begins at the range. While making sure the new Knight KP1 rifle is sighted in, Lee and Scott give all kinds of great tips to improve accuracy and consistency. They also talk about the Penetrator bullets with easy loading sabots they will be using.
Finally, they take it to the woods for a West Virginia anterless muzzleloader hunt. Watch and enjoy this muzzleloading hunt.
The city of Marietta, OH began its urban hunting program in 2005. When the program began, it was estimated as many as 1,000 whitetail deer had taken up residence within the Marietta city limits.
The program allows archery hunters who meet certain requirements to harvest deer on designated city properties. Private property of an acre or more may be hunted as long as the hunter has written permission from the property owner.
In addition to standard archery regulations, additional requirements must be met to participate in the program. First, hunters must pass an accuracy test. The hunter is given 5 shots at 20 yards. A minimum of 4 arrows must strike the vital areas on the target.
If a hunter successfully passes the accuracy test, they must have a $100,000 liability insurance policy.
Other regulations include that the hunter must hunt from an elevated tree stand and have their name written on the fletchings of each arrow.
Finally, a hunter is required to harvest a doe first before shooting at and harvesting a buck.
Many cities in Ohio and West Virginia offer urban hunts. We were fortunate enough to tag along with one hunter for an his urban hunt in Marietta, Ohio.
