Ah yessssss !!! It's finally that time of year. It's been absolutely grueling waiting all year long to get together with the boys and head up to our Deer Camp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula aka God's country. Please go grab some coffee and join us as we experience yet another season with family and friends together at our up north off grid deer camp. We think you will especially enjoy all the sarcasm in the beginning as the guys arrive and pack for gun camp. Watch as you see the guys at Camp Benny endure the elements of the cold and experience the again unexpected that is thrown at them. Deer Camp camaraderie is just the absolute best. If you like the whole deer camp experience and aren't bothered by the fact that giant bucks aren't getting harvested then this is going to be a good watch for you ! Enjoy, stay safe, God bless you, your friends and family. It's Camp Benny 2022....let's get this show started !!!
Thanks for watching our Camp Benny videos. Would you like to be a part of camp and help support our efforts? Your support will help improve camp. (Add stain to the outhouse, oil for our lamps, gas for the chainsaw, camera upgrades, batteries for trailcams, etc...)

    • My wife and I were looking at U.P. "hunting" properties for seven years until 2020. I thank God daily for leading us to the Ozarks. Here, no grown man would dare show up with a buck younger than 3-1/2yrs old scoring at least 120". You just don't shoot the typical "Michigan four pointer" or even a "basket 8". You get more respect for shooting a "management buck" with your firearms tag. I lived in Michigan ten years. Life is better in the Ozarks...the people and climate are a lot warmer. The godliest folks I've ever lived amongst. ;-)

  • Deer camp is never about the DEER, it is always about the comraderies that are formed and renewed each year. The camp I was part of in Northern Wisconsin had three elderly hunters who took their first Whitetail buck when they were 10-12 years old in the 1890's!! I loved those Model 1894's they carried in .38-55 caliber. What a "brush gun." Bacon and eggs, steaks seared in a cast iron skillet and a stack of hotcakes on the griddle. Enjoy the CAMP. it is some of the best time you'll ever have.

  • I am posting here because this is the first of your videos I watched. I have been watching your channel all weekend now. Your videos remind me of when I would watch Fred Trost on Michigan Out of Doors with my father. Going out for the first time in 20 years this year and my father is gone now but I remember going to deer camp with him the few years we went. Your videos are bringing back memories of then as well. Wish we had gone more and spent more time together like that over the years. I don't know why we stopped going. Damn its hard to think about all this. Anyway, I love what you are doing here. We need more men promoting being good fathers and family men. Showing good healthy friendships between men. Keep doing what you are doing.

  • Great to hear you share your faith in Christ gentleman. One of my best memories going to the U.P. was stopping at a Ma/Pa restaurant in Cadillac. Me and my brothers were the only ones in the restaurant. I said grace and the owner came up and said "It's great to see men praying." You should of seen the smile on my brother's faces! Hope you had a great time together.

It's always a "trophy" when shared with friends and family, not to mention venison steaks on the grill. Always enjoy your videos. I passed a smaller 6 on opening day here in the thumb area. Always a gamble passing on any buck, but the joy of the hunt is in the memories made. #LoveCampBenny👍

  • Finally got time to sit down and watch all these videos that I have stacked up for the last few weeks. Weird not seeing your bro in the passenger seat this year but it was nice seeing buddy fill that vacancy, hope he had as good of a time as it looked like he did. Takes a true sportsmen to mention their mistakes but I'm glad you did and the meat went to someone in need. I finally made it back up to the U P this year for a couple days. I haven't been across the bridge in 11 years and a buddy of mine that has a place up by singleton invited me up this year so I made it back up and boy did it fell good. His dad shot a dandy 9 pointer last year on opening day and fell ill a few days later from the illness that doesn't deserve its name to be mentioned and he passed away December 9th up there from it so I think it meant a lot to my buddy to have as many close friends up there with him this year and we had a blast. Best of luck the rest of the season and be careful out there fellas.

  • Subscriber here since your 2019 hunting season and I really enjoy watching your camp and your hunts. Way to be honest with your buck! Not many would do that. Here in Wisconsin, we don't have restrictions like Michigan does, but there has to be at least 1 point of 3 inches or bigger to register as a buck. Opening day this year I shot the only deer I saw, which I thought was a doe and it ended up being a 5 pointer with the rack being only about 4 inches long on both sides. I never even saw the rack on the deer when I decided to pull the trigger and I'm glad I did! God blessed my family and I with some meat in the freezer this year and I couldn't be any happier for that! Bummer you didn't get to keep your deer though. At least you have it on film to tell the story years from now! Also glad you feel better this year for deer hunting, vs last year with Covid! I ended up with Covid a 2 weeks before I went bow hunting this year - my first time with it and it went away about 4 days before I left for deer camp! Shot and missed a nice buck that weekend with my cross bow at about 40 yards. Oh well! I'd rather miss than wound it!

  • Hey Ben and crew great video to bad for the short coming that must be hard to judge on length. We are lucky here in Ontario but if you only have a buck tag you have to be careful with the little spikes. My dad and I had anterless tags so what's brown is down more or less. Wasn't able to hunt gun season because of work but I did make a short trip to my property and shot a little 6 point with the crossbow. Well can't wait for part 2 love the videos Ben👍

I highly recommend him checking with a gun expert and switching to the Hornady Lever Revolution Ammunition. It will improve accuracy and performance as well as distance. I have the same exact gun in a .35 and I can attest to 100 yd pinpoint accuracy and you don’t have to track far.

  • Michigan dnr is usually fair when you report your own poaching. I'm sure we all heard if a point holds a ring its a point. Unfortunately in today's restricted deer areas, which seems to flip without any news leaves us most of us hunters unaware of changes made. Fishing, hunting, upland hunting. Our dnr needs to be more open and announce these changes.
