As an individual whose family hunts deer, Wild Hogs, turkey Etc I have zero tolerance for poachers! Daniel I'm very thankful and I thank God you and Houston are okay.
I'm so glad and think god you and hustin didn't get hurt really bad that could have been so bad my heart went into my belly when I seen that..how dum are people these days
I don't hunt at all but I respect hunting and understand that it's necessary. I have to agree, poaching isn't acceptable, and especially on private property.
Pot calling the kettle black , another miseducation, the native Americans hunted for clothes and food, not trophies 🤬🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You should not shoot dear with heir first horns.
Busting poachers is the only reason why I wanted to become a game warden. I'm not one though. Lol
As an ex-prosecutor in a mountain county in Colorado, I always treated wildlife law violations as very serious cases. Over a 9 year period in that role, I prosecuted two people for careless hunting resulting in the death of other hunters. These kinds of trespass violations can end in tragedy! I’m so glad Daniel and Houston weren’t hurt!
i dont know how people hunt on public land on opening day, i would have to wear a bulletproof vest just to try it
@@Quantrills.Raiders yeah... in the delta land we would get in a tree in full body orange in heavy cover and stay there. No walking around. Now hills 😬
Find a deep draw I guess...
It is also required to hang orange 3 ft above a blind where we hunt too.
Absolutely no excuse for this.
@@Quantrills.Raiders Yeah I forget what it's actually called but one of those SafeLife soft vests that's rated the same as plates (I think) would be perfect for something like that.
@@dylonjackson8863 i actually have one of those in my EDC backpack in the slot in the back, its so light that i always forget its even in there, i highly recommend it to everyone.
@@Quantrills.Raiders That's what's up dude I really want to get one as well
Thank you for pressing charges.
I think issues like this would be resolved if “trespassers will be shot” signs were legal
Post it then act upon it. 👍 I live in a stand your ground state and here we don't put up with getting shot at or near.
Glad you all are ok. years ago myself and a couple of buddies had access to a farm and we had numerous run ins with them, i even had to leap from my tree stand once as 3 of them started blasting away at some running deer. I don't usually jump from a 16ft. stand but with slugs whistling through the trees around me i didn't hesitate a second. Unlucky for them my uncle who was a N.Y. State Trooper at the time was hunting with me that day. By the time the investigation was done they were hit with 47 charges and lost 8 firearms, 26 sets of antlers, 3 vehicles and had over $6,000 dollars in fines and 2 of the 3 got jail sentences and they all lost their hunting privileges for 5years.
Hope you guys got them as reparations.
@@harambememorialpage Fret not, my brother. Harambe is home.
😮
DAMN
Should have lost their hunting privileges for life after putting you in that kind of danger
When I was a little girl in the 50s, my Dad and I heard the sound of bullets going by us. My Dad pushed me down behind a rock. He told me to lie still someone was shooting towards us. I can remember the sound to this day. We were blessed that day too. I am so greatful neither of you got hurt.
My dad took a round of buckshot in the face while hunting. Glad they wear orange now.
As a Marine who's been in Combat. Incoming rounds can make you feel a certain way.. glad all is good. :)
I’m not military, but having rounds go your way is a trip. Mine was more an accident situation, but it’s not fun to be in the line of fire period.
I am curious if you're allowed to return fire in such case, and categorise it as self defence.
Yep. Fallujah & Al Anbar in 05/06 will do that
@@Nmh2elPotentially but in a situation like this that only escalates and makes him and his family more likley to be shot. The poachers did shoot at them, but they were trying to hit a deer. If he were to fire back at them, they would likley then be firing back as well, now with the direct focus of defending themselves
Thank you for your service! May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you!
I wish I had a dad like you growing up, those kids are incredibly lucky...
For real. My fathers favorite hobby but because of his personality, iv never hunted. I’m now older and wish I had that skill.
My family has always been taught firearm safety and hunting, fishing, camping and survival! I was very proud of my dad and uncles having the patience to help teach us as kids? I've continued the practice with both my kids and been teaching our grandkids now. I taught my wife to shoot after we got married in 1985 and I can't believe she hasn't shot my stupid butt. I call her my wonder woman because I wonder how she's put up with my antics all these years! It still hurts when we go to the range and the wife out shoots me! Lol My son and I are taking the oldest on his first youth deer hunt this year with his birthday present chambered in .243!
@@chinchilla2971 Only evil people kill for fun and trophies.
Wow. That was actually INSANE. So glad you guys are ok.
if it me & im on private propity & 2 of them hunter shoot on to private propity from public spot area i have no issue shooting at them right back if i have them on camera & if they try to get me charged then i tell the cop or so i see them in court & i show the video to my lawyer then the judge & i tell the the judge there case on me sure be remove ASAP & my charges will stand
Thank God you guys are ok but what I would like to know is why weren’t you yelling at those individuals as soon as you seen them trespassing and befothey got that shot off?
🙏🏽💕
I’m sk glad your. Ok😢
Might e a good idea to rise an orange flag at your blind
As a person who had been shot at by bad actors, it's scary. Adrenaline shoots through the roof, followed by anger, then comes the ever-present fear of it happening again. So glad you guys ended up okay.
As a kid around your sons age, my dad and my uncle taught me so much about safety, sportsmanship, the dangers of hunting, and to always get written permission for any land you hunt on.
Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”❤❤ YOU have a PURPOSE ❤❤❤❤❤

Fake
Charge them with reckless endangerment. They could have Jill you or your child
A few years ago we had some poachers shoot into our pasture towards the house, I sent a 405 grain Hollow Point 45/70 in their general direction. They never came back county sheriff said I was right to return fire, but next time I should use my AR10
Glad your all ok and you caught the poachers. I haven't hunted in 5 years. I had a hunter fire a shot that landed over my head in a tree I was 12 feet up in. I spent 37 years in in law enforcement in NYC and never felt as scared as I did hunting. Be safe brother
I didn't realize that they had been caught. That is awesome, good job.
Good ones dont get caught..
@@joshroddey7320 good ones? No such thing. And eventually they all get caught if the hunt illegally or poach. This is the age of electronic surveillance. There are cameras everywhere and often you never see them.
@@wadeslayback9338 Pretty sure he doesn't mean "good ones" in a moral sense but more a quality of skill, as in there are poachers that know how to avoid being caught. Also that isn't an endorsement for those skilled poachers but more of a acknowledgement of their skill, a wise man does not underestimate their enemy and respects their abilities or risks falling victim to them.
@@joshroddey7320 No poachers are good ones as they are all doing it to take the easy, illegal and unethical route. If they were any good at hunting legitimately, they wouldn't poach.
@@aveng3r89 That makes absolutely no sense. Its not like its easier to find and shoot deer on private property than it is on public property.
How horrible are some people getting. That's crazy. Just glad you and Houston r ok
I am also glad they are okay they seem like nice people
I agree it’s a shame how few people still have some good left in them
People have always been this horrible it's only times like this when we get another glimpse into it.
You do realize poaching and trespassing is at a at time low in our history people aren’t getting worse it is just easier to get the incidents out there to the population
@@joshuabennett7334 yeah believe what you want dude, its only because of good sportsmen keeping them scared. And when a person starts off with in history that i stop listening.
You both definitely had angels on your shoulders that day! And dang straight, they are poachers, NOT hunters!! My ex-husband and one of my sons are hunters, even I know you do not point the gun where you don’t know what’s on the other side!!! Thank you for your service as a law-enforcement officer, I currently work for a sheriffs office, but thinking about retiring. Keep hunting with Dad kids, enjoy every second with Dad and with Mom.🚔🇺🇸🦌🙏🇺🇸
Happened to me. Horrible feeling. I decided to take an afternoon off during season many years ago. Heard several shots around the area of my blind. Jumped in my truck and found 2 poachers loading a deer in their truck from my property. They shot through the back wall of my blind as they were unloading on a fawn from the road. I called the dnr and the they got in a lot of trouble. Turns out my call led to a huge poaching ring in the area. It was bittersweet to say the least.
I’m so sorry that happened. I’ve never seen you lose your cool which shows everyone how serious and dangerous this was. I hope these poachers pay a huge price.
Cops won’t catch them but it wood b great if they could & prosecute them
@@thomasjtrunkersr.2774 They were caught on the same day and had there firearm taken, and were issued tickets!! They even admitted to what they did and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law… It’s all in the video…💯
@@jeremythompson1593 Well someone needs to call CPS on this idiot so his kid gets taken away! I can not believe that he put his kid in danger like that. Oh yeah and that is all in the video too. You could see they were going to shoot and yet he did nothing but sit there and put his child in danger! He needs to have his kids taken and be charged to the fullest extent of the law!
@@thomasjtrunkersr.2774 Try *actually* watching the video next time.
@@jeremythompson1593 yep all on video probably not worth the risk. The father should have yelled out immediately announcing himself immediately it's hunting 101
Those people are why hunting access has become so difficult for those of us who are ethical hunters. I live in Central Montana and this stuff happens much too often. Glad you're both O.K. and that the offenders were found.
I had to close access to my land because a poacher came on and tried to kill my pet turkey (his legs are painted during hunting season in bright reflective orange and is clearly a pet turkey. I wish it was legal to shoot them so much
I had 6 people arrested this year for illegally hunting on my property. So now local fish and wildlife officers will be patrolling my land.
It's definitely getting worse over here in Idaho. People are just straight illegally hunting. And I'm afraid it will become more dangerous now for many, many reasons.
@@nonamerequired55555 same in Virginia, I had someone try to steal my pet turkey for his beard, I now have "Cross this property line and I will shoot" signs on trees and fences all over my land
Yup, I agree. I am outside of Great Falls, here in central Montana. The other day I had a guy drive up on the county road , stop his truck and look down into one of my pastures. He then put his binoc's back in his truck, take his rifle out and shot a buck in the field. I hollared at him, got engaged, got his info, and am waiting for the game warden to get back to me. People are really ballsy when they think no one is home.
Glad you’re both ok physically. You did the right thing. I’ve been shot at, but not aimed at, so I know how you feel. Best of luck and blessings.
Dang man, that's nuts! Glad yall are safe.
Been dealing with a lot of poachers and trespassers on my property lately and I found the best deterrent is a firing a couple rounds in the air to remind folks that I don't mess around.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I will engage you back and finish the job. I wouldnt shoot
Years ago I got shot quail hunting. I went down and the a hole that shot me took off running, didn’t even check if I was ok. I had a few pellets I dug out of my side and a pretty good bruise. I have no tolerance for bum hunters, game hogs or poachers. You handled that situation very well.
Good grief, did they catch the guy?
@@teratexture6529 No, I never turned it in. Just went on about my business. Never hunted by anyone I didn’t know and trust again though. We were hunting a safe distance away and I broke a huge covey and he came running over and decided to hunt with me. Should have told him to get lost. Guess I’m too nice sometimes.
Did you ever confront Mr. Cheney or were you worried that the Secret Service might get mad?
Ide of shot back 🤷♂️
@@r8tr273 if someone shoots me I'm definitely chasing them down and standing over them
It's a sobering experience to hear the "bang" and a bullet buzz over your head. Hope Houston learns that it goes to show how quickly lives can be changed and lives lost by other people's disrespect and disregard for your property. Glad you got it all on video. And I don't blame you for being upset. Y'all had an "extra hunter" in the blind with you during this ordeal. God was looking out for you and Houston!! Glad you're safe!!
Same I’m almost crying
Yep absolutely, there are some idiot hunters out there, that makes us look bad
They were NOT hunters.
If you hunt long enough or or around in the country during season good chance it will happen to you. Did me about 30 years ago or so More. I was at my house in the country
EMILY
This made me think of my dad. He would go every year before he got sick. I pictured him saying a whole lot worse than you did 😂 Thank you for posting this. It touched my heart.
I'm so thankful you and Houston are ok and justice will be served on them
Oh man Daniel, I'm so thankful you guys are all safe. Poachers are so utterly unacceptable, and those type of people need to learn how deeply not okay their negligence is. Good on you for standing up to them for their horrible behavior!
Umm your boy Daniel if he is the father needs to learn how negligent he was by not yelling out. He put himself and his son in direct danger of being shot by doing so. He didn't yell out like he should have he didn't have any orange visible outside of the blind. Ask any DNR officer or game warden or anyone with a shred of common sense and they will all tell you to shout out loud and make yourself be known. There has been plenty of know it all know nothing KARENS that will try to sound knowledgeable intellectual by saying this or that smh It's one question was he right or was he wrong? Those deer ran directly in front of the blind what if one or all of those hunters jerks opened up??? No clue they were there. If he yelled out stop right from the beginning like he should have there wouldn't have been any shoots or shot thus keeping himself and his son safe. He clearly didn't yell out because he wanted it on video or to show law enforcement or CZcams views or both either way epic fail! I say if anyone is in this situation and they have too much Lack and Limitation in their mindset they shouldn't be out in the woods with guns hunting. Maybe they should take up a different hobby like golf, fishing, baseball whatever just not hunting. ""Need to learn how deeply not okay their negligence is."" Very well put 👍👍
I had something like that happen last year. Bad news for everyone 😞
They know how not ok it is, they just don't care, which is why a lot of them probably catch .308 or higher calibers in the torso, or, if the shooter has great aim, straight in the wobbly bits.
@@trumptardism6755 stop spreading misinformation because the requirements vary state by state & from what I understand, many states are similar. In the state that I live in, you are not required to have blaze orange on a blind or on you if you are on private land.
Trump..I guess trespassing and poaching are ok with you?
Shows the importance of praying safety over your family each day. Glad you both are ok. Your angels were watching over you for sure.
Glad you guys are ok and seeing the little guy tear up when the big buck didn’t come in hurt my heart!!
Great channel!!
Wow this video made my heart drop! Thankfully you and your family are safe!
The video looks fake He probably did it for views He went running out of Cover with 2 guys with high-powered rifles That is pretty stupid And the audio sounds weird
Be careful, never let them take the shot in the first place that could’ve been bad. Glad your all safe
Agreed, air horn blown at some point to scare the deer off and warn trespassers. Better than risking a shot taken in your direction.
Thas what I said that 100% on the dad borderline child endangerment imo. That said I'm not excusing the poachers
Them taking the shot though makes it worse for them when they're caught. They are on camera shooting, 100 percent guilty
@@balla2172 calm yourself re re
You should have stopped them before the shot if you were so concerned about your safety. Of course the video wouldn’t be the same. “Stupid, stupid, stupid decision” on YOUR part!
I'm not a hunter but I completely understand the emotion you had, I too have had run ins with poachers on my land and I am so grateful for the game wardens around here for swiftly dealing with them.
Same I'm a veteran with PTSD among other issues so I stay away from firearms these days. I probably would have opened up on both poachers the second I saw their firearms aimed in my direction. Thus the reason I'm smart enough to own up to my issues rather than deny I have anything wrong playing it safe and don't own firearms.
@@CDRhammond i wouldve shot when they aimed near me too wouldve been legal too especially because they were poachers on your land
@@CDRhammond what’s your first name? Let me pray for you man, I used to deal with extreme suicidal thoughts 24/7 (even dreaming with them) and never left the house because I was paralyzed with fears & uncontrollable anxiety. Jesus can truly change you if you are willing & open to that change, God loves you so much He sent His son to be a substitutional sacrifice for our sins, but if you truly pray & reach out whole heartedly to Jesus, you will be healed from your PTSD.
Here well inside the city limits, the "poachers" still exist. They are armed with handguns, and trespass in our backyards and poach our bicycles off the back porch.
trespassing and self defense. not every thug with an orange vest is a hunter. practice your shooting skills and take them out
Happy to know no one was hurt and the proper authorities notified. Love from your buds in Iowa!
Just came across this video randomly but glad to see y’all are okay. Could have been much worse but it wasn’t and glad to see that. Good luck this season.
Please keep us updated on the case of the trespassing poachers. I am so grateful you two were safe. I hope this doesn't put Houston off hunting, he's so good at it.
Glad you found them! Could get ugly quick when confronting folks. Deer make people stupid. Turkey can be even worse. It is WAY worse for trespassing. Now trophy bucks REALLY make people stupid .
I'm curious too. I can't stand poachers! They knew that they were trespassing.
I am so glad that neither of you were harmed! I’m sorry Houston was so upset about LG being in another spot. You could see the disappointment in his face. And good for you for pursuing charges in this Daniel. I think it is important to do so. And as for the ‘not so right words’? There are no limits on vocabulary when you or your son’s life have been compromised! God bless, and continue to stay safe out there! To Houston: you’ll get him! ♥️♥️🙏♥️♥️
Youre son was raised right i can tell, super mature and well put man. Glad yall are safe
I think it would have been best to just yell at the guys immediately. I feel like they clearly showed their intentions when they showed up to the fence with their rifles and hunting gear, aiming at the deer. It would have been best to prevent additional crimes and a potential tragedy than to wait for them to do more stupid things and increase their punishment. Life's too short to endanger your life for something like that.
The same is true for driving, even if in a certain situation you're in the right, it's still best to just let assholes go and do their thing than to potentially cause an accident
OMG, how scary! Thank God you both are okay! Can't wait to hear the whole story.
My heart is beating out of my chest and tears streaming. I’m glad y’all are okay. I hope y’all catch them.
Same hope y’all can catch them
I hope that they catch them because that's is to closed call for them someone get seriously injured I can't believe they was on your property that's is trespassing
@@marygreen564 k
People are so disrespectful of what belongs to others.. I hope they’re caught..
Have you found any deer with the wasting disease in your area?
No respect! 😡
Holy cow! Can’t believe. So glad no one was hurt physically. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Wonder if I missed an update on this story. ~ Texas
We only have three acres, as do our neighbors and we’ve still had idiots park on the road and try to sneak on out property to shoot at deer. Houses everywhere, and I was about 10 one of the times and regularly played in the woods. My grandpa went up there yelling at them making a huge deal. The police responded quickly and took him very seriously when he explained how these people were putting children in danger. I’m glad you all are okay.
That WAS to close for comfort! I’m glad you both are ok. This is something that will shake Houston up for a while. I truly hope those 2 idiots get the full prosecution and punishment they deserve.
Small trespassing fine.
Should be more but no law against shooting your rifle at a deer.
Daniel should have been hollering long before the shot.
Oh Daniel ! So freaking scary! I hope they catch those two trespassers. Yes, it looked like the bullet was headed your and Houston’s way. So unbelievable! I can’t wait to hear the whole story. So very happy you and Houston are ok and not hurt.
The sound could be deceiving but it sounded like a hit. Did any check?
@@adamreathaford9508 sounded like a hit to me too.
WOW..... I myself have had to deal with trespasser's and poachers. You handed very well considering. I'm glad you both were not hurt or killed. I really hope there is no long lasting negative effects for Houston .
Question for anyone: Poachers are hunters that hunt in the off season? Do they actually get into trouble. The fines should be in the thousands of dollars.
This right here is exactly why I've got cameras all around my property now, glad you guys are okay and at least you where able to be there to catch them in the act.
Why do you hunt alone??? most women don't even walk through a park at night.
@@resiefan3258 Men don't need no one, women need someone to walk at night. And they are not walking through a park.
Back in 1966 my dad purchased a farm. He did without many things in life to buy it and keep it. Over the years people we know and didn’t know have trespassed, illegally hunted, and many other things in general, even eventually burning down the farmhouse, 2 weeks after my dads funeral in 2000. Both my parents are gone now and the farm belongs to me. The illegal hunters still sneak in from time to time and are hard to catch unless I spend a lot of time away from other things
invest in a landmine field my friend. Jokes aside I'm sorry for your situation.
are you allowed to post up and snipe them?
Couldn’t you post cameras around your property ideally where you can see the vehicles and give the footage to the police to prosecute
Game cams👍
"No Tresspassing, violaters will be shot on site" posted signs might do the trick. If that's legal where you are..
Back when trespassers got shot there weren't very many of them. Your patience is commendable, I also understand they were just outside the perimeter of a leg or butt shot warning. You set a good example for your kid, cusswords never hurt anybody. My Kentucky relatives would have taught us and the trespassers a very different lesson than you taught yours, I'm used to the style I grew up and have no qualms about it, your style was a perfect 10 to me as well.
I can't believe they didn't see your blind, that is unreal. So glad you and your son are Ok. Praise the Lord.
I am so glad they were caught. It really ticks me off when people don’t respect the property of others, makes me crazy. Glad you and Houston are safe.
that's actually legal in most of the new england states, shouldn't be and people that know better fight those laws every year.
Clearly they planned to enter your property had they have shot a deer and you were not there. I was yelling those same words along with you Daniel.
@@nadinelataille7462 I would have been yelling long before the shot..
Bingo, ding ding ding.
Cannot believe he didn’t.
Huge mistake.
@@badmoonryzin7251 it's all for youtube. If I had my kid with me I would of run out screaming before they got anywhere near me or the deer.
I hope Houston is ok! When we had a stray round through our house, it messed my kids up for a while. To this day my daughter still asks me what's that when we hear a backfire, firework or gunshot and she's 38.
You are such a saint Daniel!😇 You apologized for calling the poachers pansies🤣 I live in NY where little old ladies drop F-bombs...😂 You should have cussed those fellas out! But of course, you are such a civilized person who is a good Christian and a good example for the rest of us! I hope Houston gets him a buck! I am so glad yall are ok!
Trespassing with a weapon on private property along with discharging a firearm? Isn’t that felony
My heart goes out to Houston. I had a similar experience 23 years ago when I was 13. I'm glad that both of you are safe and sound.
Daniel, Don't give out too much info on future videos about this incident. I'm sure the culprits are tuning in your channel. They knew that was ARMS PROPERTY and are presently shaking in their boots and dirty drawers.
Thank you Lord, for protecting Daniel and Houston 🙏
🐾
Shar Daniel is a recently retired OK state trooper. I am pretty sure he doesn't need to be told all this. Not only that but you have zero idea if they knew who owned the property they were shooting into. Daniel never advertises where he lives another than he's about 30 minutes outside of Sulfer.
@@SagebrushRambles I'm pretty sure they were locals and know who owns what land though. Small town. And they looked like teenagers to me.
@@LoriL010 true
It doesn't matter. This could have happened a couple days ago. He's a retired state trooper like someone said. He knows what he's doing.
@@PennelopeWhitmore I don't think the fact he's an ex trooper matters. The majority of land owners know exactly what to do if someone is illegally hunting on their land. And the topic was people knowing where he lived anyway. 😃
I can't stand a thief...poachers are the worst kind thief...these idiots are the worst kind of poachers...RECKLESS & DANGEROUS!
Why would you wait until they popped off a shot in your direction with your child next to you? Seems like you’re putting both of your lives in danger.
I was thinking the same thing
Cause if he yelled the poachers would have mabye shot him
Your "bad words and behavior" were not nearly as bad as a lot of people would have been. You handled that like a father in fear of his child's life. I'll bet those idiots needed to scrape out their underpants after that! I hope it didn't shake up Houston too much. I am afraid that after he has had some time to think about it, he may experience a bit of after-shock. You are a GREAT Dad; I am sure you have a handle on it. I wish your family the best, I am so glad nobody was harmed.
Boondocks Rosey
My dad probably woulda shot back 😅
And his son. So sweet. Nothing to say but: "that's whatcha get!" & "they gone?".
No mouthing off, you can tell dad doesn't do this often 😭 so sweet.
I love you daniel: awesome dad. Kept your kid safe: waited until they did something wrong; love the cop voice.
I'm glad you couldn't hear the bullet pass. I've had two occasions where I heard the high pitch whistle of bullets,,,then the bang of the rifle. The one time while standing in about two feet of snow, the unmistakable whistling sound and snow spraying about 2 feet from my left knee puts a whole new perspective on shitin your drawers.
Hello from Minnesota! I am very sorry you guys had to go through that! Not just the poachers and getting shot at, but the legal side of it too. I hope they got caught! I also do agree with you, people like that make good ethical hunters look bad. I hope you never have to go through something like that again. Archery season for deer just started last weekend here in Minnesota. I hope you all get nice deer this year. I love your content and think it’s awesome! Safe shooting, God bless you and your family!
Houston has probably never seen his dad so mad, scared and raged to the point of chasing those two men. You taught him what men should do. Protect his family and their homestead. Sorry that happened but it was a valuable lesson for you both.
Really maybe he should have said something before they shot and then I would be right there with you, but no he let them shoot at him and HIS KID! He should lose every gun he owns
@julieselden7932 yea it was dumb but that person will get jail time now not just tickets
@@jacobcarter566 Well he should get jail time before they do! He knew they were there and that they were going to shoot, they didn't know he and his kid were there! If anyone should get jail time it should be that idiot that could have gotten his child killed
Hey Daniel I'm so glad that you and your daughter are okay. That is INSANITY seeing them do something so irresponsible. One thing I do is bring my small drone with me while on my large properties. If I run into someone doing exactly what these 2 did I throw up my drone high and track to find their vehicle while on the phone with law enforcement. Something I highly recommend if you don't already own one. Thank you for sharing this, again I'm glad your family is safe. Let know what you think about that idea of bringing a drone.
This is a great idea!
Kid can learn to operate it better than you can, lol
yea thats the way to hunt climb up a tree to me the is the cowards way of hunting
Daughter.
Not gonna lie, this sounds like fun!
“It’s what u get” Houston had no fear
Glad you & Houston were ok but my oh my that was a scary call! God’s protection was surely upon you both! Praise the Good Lord!
Glad you guys are ok. People like that give hunters a bad name and keeps land owner from letting people hunt. When I was younger we had the exact thing happen, we were hunting our own land. It was noon my dad, brother, and myself were walking out of the woods to get some lunch and get warm. We were walking across our wheat field when a buck and two does ran across in front of us. Those two idiots opened up spraying bullets everywhere and right in our direction. God was looking out for us that day. We chased them down relieved them of there guns and called the game ranger and sheriff. One of them got mouthy with Dad and paid the price. That situation could of ended up devastating. We spent a lot of money on no hunting signs around all our land. By the way we live in Oklahoma.
Yeah it goes both ways. I had a jackass tell me I was on private land when I harvested my best buck to date on Tuesday. I was on state land. Closest private was 160 yards from me
If an armed trespasser comes on my property and starts shooting towards me or my family, they will be in danger of return fire depending on the circumstances.
@@Cbow406 I guarantee the same kind of guys that would trespass & poach,...are the same guys who'd do what you say happened to you.
Despite the recent ruling in TENN., that Game Wardens don't have the right to trespass, and hide cams on private property,....Poachers almost make you want to let them.
@@NDcompetitiveshooter I wish this was legal in Canada. I love my country but one thing I don’t agree with is the laws on self defence or defending your home.
A couple of well placed shots would ha ve taken care of the problem
You hear stories like these all the time. This time we got the chance to witness things in action. The Game Department should use this one as a learning example to show people how easy it is to create a very dangerous situation and get in a lot of trouble. Good luck to Huston on his 2nd deer this year! Emm is some good competition and will give him a good run for the money! Glad everyone is OK!
People need have respect for other people property it's like you sacrifice for the things you want in life and idiots like these screws up your family time thank God youall are ok
I hope the Game Warden and the police showed up!
For real. hunter safety courses should show parts of this video and how stupidly dangerous it is to do such a thing.
Just saw this. very proud yall are ok. You handled yourself very well and professional. I don't know what I would have done. Probably went ape sh@t bat crazy on them. But you never know until you're in that position. Love your hat sir. Happy hunting 2023-2024. 26+ years LEO here in Mississippi.
I ran the same poacher (and his son) off my farm for 30 years. He absolutely knew where my boundaries were, and that I did not want him on my farm. I painted trees and fence posts purple and hung a lot of 'no trespassing signs' with my phone number, in case they needed to call me about something. About 10 years ago I leased my farm for hunting to a couple of brothers who were retired law enforcement, and make sure they knew about Jones. My hunters put up about a dozen game cams and maybe half a dozen tree stands and several ground blinds and 3 food plots. They got a lot of pictures of my growing deer herd, and 10-15 pictures of Jones, but not clear enough to really identify him. 5 years ago one of them called to see if I knew I had a hunter in a corner tree stand. Of course I did NOT know that. My beau and I went up to the corner. He had his camera and was filming every step. We met my hunter halfway to the back 40 and the 3 of us walked the rest of the way to Jone's stand. I motioned Jones to come talk to us and boy o boy was he ticked off. My hunter did most of the talking. Jones had no orange on, and my hunter told him his brother could easily have shot him by mistake, to which Jones replied that he'd'a had a dead brother to bury. My hunter didn't take that well, and nearly hopped the fence to get him. Jim kept filming. Jones returned to his stand to get his rifle and told us he would shoot us all if we didn't leave him alone in the deer woods. Jim filmed it all. The local sheriff's deputy blew us off, even with the video evidence. I called the game warden. He was a pal of one of my kids before they left for a better job, and he was professional. He went to Jones' house and inspected all his freezers and wrote him up and took it to the sheriff's office. I had to follow up and chase down the report and make sure the PA got it. Sheriff's department was no help at all. Jones was charged with a felony and spent a night in lock up. The PA had to file for change of venue, bc we are close friends. The sheriff's department never notified me of the trial, so Jones still walked among us. Now I am an old woman. I have outlived Jones. I am satisfied with that outcome, I guess.
Oh no
Prayers for you both Thank God you guys are okay
Daniel I'm so thankful that you and Houston are alright and I'm glad you guys caught those 2 guys. It's just terrible that people trespass on private property to do that kind of stuff. But I'm sure glad that you guys are OK and safe.
And the boy obeyed his father and stayed put. Good for him. Very important to heed his instruction.
I sure hope they pay for their crimes! So glad you’re both okay and you bet God is in control always!😊😊
I am so glad you are both OK and I am also glad you called the Game Warden! I hope they are found!!
as a father you were more level headed than i would have been, i commend you for keeping a cool head and not reacting badly
You handled it way better than I would have.
I love to watch animals in the woods. Remines me of when I could get out and be with natural. As a kid I would sneak up on deer and watch them. I love nature. Thank you for the videos of animals in the woods.
I’m glad y’all are safe. I had a similar incident on Thanksgiving morning this year. Luckily I wasn’t in the immediate vicinity when they fired their rifles. I walked my property and found the trespassers. I put two guys on the ground at gunpoint and held them there until local Sheriff’s office and game warden arrived. Charges filed, my entire property boundary is properly marked purple with the proper signage at every gate. I can’t stand trespassers and poachers, there’s absolutely no reason for it.
Did they not try to shoot at you, or point their guns at you, when you had your gun pointed at them? To me i would think that people would try and fire back, but maybe they realize that this isn't time to be playing games?
@AlvinK you get in a shootout while you're on someone else's property teaspassing and poaching... not really gonna end well
@@AlvinKazu he did not point the gun at the cops he is pointing at the suspects because they will attempt to run away if you let your guard down
@@AlvinKazu luckily they decided they’re best decision was to do as they were told and get on the ground. A few minutes later, local Sheriff’s deputies and Game Warden finally got there. They claimed they had shot a deer and it jumped my fences.. yet no signs whatsoever of a deer being shot, and they couldn’t even tell us if it was a buck or a doe. They were cited for illegal hunting, trespassing and a couple others… high school kids.
I'm glad you two are okay, and glad they were caught.
I like that distinction: “That wasn’t a HUNTER, that was a POACHER.”
Today son I teach you how to dig a 8 foot hole.
They clearly shot towards you ON YOUR LAND! How you had the restraint to not send a warning shot while they are running is commendable, probably not great to de escalate the situation however would also be incredibly understandable if you did. All in all, glad you guys are safe… that’s nothing short of infuriating.
That should be mandatory.
never send a warning shot: either shoot to kill, or don't shoot.
Warning shots are not real and almost always illegal. If you brandish your firearm you are in fear of your life, shoot to kill or don't shoot at all.
NOW that said, in this case on private property where shooting is legal... no harm in taking a shot "at a target" for "target practice" to get the message across. Also without saying but never shoot in the air.
@@sevaul
Warning shots are very much real. They are explicitly mentioned in police procedural law in several German states. E.g. Bavarian police law requires a warning before the use of firearms against people (unless that would impede the actual purpose of the intervention) and explicitly states that warning can be given as a warning shot. In fact, the implementation regulations state that if there is reason to believe the character of the shot as a warning shot was not understood by the suspect, the warning shot should be repeated. Likewise, if a verbal warning of impending use of the firearm was not understood, a second warning can be given as a warning shot.The regulations also state that warning shots are to be fired at a steep upward angle.
And the same laws also explicitly prohibit shooting to kill unless it's the only way to end a clear and present danger to other human life. Even among those shots fired at people, shooting to kill is a rare exception, with suspects being stopped regularly by shots to the thighs
And please, don't come with stories of people being killed by falling bullets. Can it happen? Yes. But in a situation such as in the video, the probability of someone being right where the bullet drops is negligible. The same applies to "Shots to the thigh might hit the femural artery" - the probability is extremely low. Statistics is a thing.
No warning shoot at all. Pisses Me off people like this don't deserve these privileges.
As a hunter with 3 little ones in the woods with me, I commend you for keeping your cool when facing them. I would have had a hard time not beating the wheels off those guys! Good luck on your future huts with your kiddos.
Idk what the state laws are for these guys but I know I would struggle to not shoot those poachers the second they shot in my son or daughters direction
@@vNTCv You feared for their lives and returned fire to protect your children. Cut and dry.
Sure you're going to beat up a bunch of guys with guns lol they were complete jerks whatever but no mention of the guy who let them shoot it could have been all of them at deer in their general direction in fact the deer ran right in front of the blind and all those guys pointing guns it could have been really bad. Anyone in this situation should always yell out to prevent a shot or shots fired. Ask any DNR officer game warden or anyone with a shred of common sense and they will all say you are to yell out loud and announce yourself. Not only did he let them shoot for CZcams views or proof for L E EPIC Fail!!! It's hunting 101
@@vNTCv the guy put himself and his kid directly in danger by not yelling out. If he yelled out there this would have prevented a shot or shots being fired. There also should have been orange visible outside of the blind. Those deer ran right in front of the blind all of those jerks could have opened up. I see many post like if my kids were there I would have jumped out of the blind and yelled and similar post. Those are post from people in the know so to speak. Experienced hunters.. then the people trying to defend him staying quiet are the know it all know nothing KARENS that try to sound knowledgeable intellectual but fail to do so. Some of these people should wear helmets everywhere they go..
Wouldn’t blame you one bit
Thank goodness yall are okay. My dad's oldest brother was killed on Christmas Eve during turkey hunting. He was 18 years old when he died. Many many years ago.
My heart is racing after watching how close of a call that was. Houston learned a huge lessen experiencing how dangerous that was. He won’t forget how scary that felt. I’m so glad you’re both safe. I’m from a family that own hunting land also for many years. I just can’t believe how many people still choose to be reckless with the hunting laws and peoples lives. Praise God your both safe. My sisters house was shoot by hunters and they were home. So scary…
Daniel, I'm glad to see the guys who were poaching get their weapons removed, and hopefully charged/hit hard where this educates them on how dangerous, and deadly their act of stupidity was.
Thank the good Lord he was watching out for you and Houston.
When we were kids, we were out in our yard with my mom, it was dove season. We could see hunters in the field, the literally shot at our house, we could hear the shot whizzing past us. My mom turned into Mama bear when we were safe in the house, called our neighbor, the constable but went after them herself waiting for him to show up. Idiots.. we were so blessed that my brother, friend and mom weren't hurt. It was terrifying.. I will never forget the sound of that whizzing past our heads..
We grew up being taught gun safety, hunting and respecting folks property..some people never learn or care.
If you see that exact same situation, you should fire first as they are sitting on your fence, aiming into your property at you. Your life is definitely at risk and you would be well within your rights to defend it.
Daniel I’m so sorry that happened to you guys I hope you and Houston are doing ok. My heart just dropped my feet when I saw that clip! I’m starting to have some of the same problems on my land as well stay safe!!
Some people just don’t care 🤷♀️ So glad you & Houston are okay 🙏🏻🥰 Hope you check them !
Thank God you are both safe!
Glad to hear your alright. That was absolutely shameful
So so so grateful that ya'll are ok. By the grace of God you are safe and sound. I hope they are prosecuted for wreckless endangerment!
Derp. For what Einstein, shooting at a deer?
They didn’t know anyone was out there.
Daniel should have let them know long before the shot.
@@badmoonryzin7251 "Dennis v. State, 556 P.2d 617 (Okl. Cr. 1976) (defendant fired rifle across a field at some animals while hunting; unwittingly struck deceased)"
Had either Daniel or Houston been hit and died as a result of this shooting, this case above lays the standing for murder in the second degree. It is the responsibility of the hunter shooting to know what they are shooting at and what is behind it. There's ample people out there who are fined and charged for shooting at deer and a home just being on the other side not clearly visible but within range. It is criminal negligence.
I hope you don't hunt, because you're a lack luster excuse for a hunter.
@@badmoonryzin7251 Exactly, Daniel is 100% to blame for the weapon being fired, all he had to do is walk out and yell hey get off my property but no he did it for views nothing more.
@@artiearte7620 That case was nothing like this if you read it, the bullet went quite a way and was nothing more than an accident, this was preventable and charges should be sort against Daniel for wilfully endangering his kid's life for views on youtube and being an absolute fool
glad you both are ok, God sure goes take care of us when we don't even think about it until after. What a great Lord we have. Love all you guys.
So glad y’all are ok 🙏🏻
Just a question. Do you think the tradition of preferentially shooting the biggest, strongest buck will eventuallylead to weaker deer?
This was absolutely Insane! So glad y’all made it out unscathed. Those guys probably never ran so fast in their life!
They ran like the wimps they are
You are setting a good example for your children by taking them hunting AND protecting what is yours. God bless you. I hope these two guys grow up and learn from this.
Yeah it's a great example to confront and insult armed men. He's damn lucky one of them didn't shoot him.
I've chased off a bunch of trespassers. Every year it's gotten less and less, but I'll let them know as they're trying to creep in at 5:00 in the morning, I'm already there. I yell at them from a hundred yards away and tell them they're on private property, road to road (100 acres). They turn around and crawl back out the way they came in.
Well, your years of law-enforcement training paid off, because I am a former Marine that shot was close enough to warrant a self-defense shot across the Bow to those two idiots. Glad you’re safe thank you for exercising good judgment.
Just went through the same issue about a month ago on a property i hunt. The poacher harvested a monster that was on camera that morning. Caught him and trackers with him saying he had permission to hunt the property. Still 😡😡😡🤬🤬 to this day. I'm glad that you both are okay. We are covered with his protection daily and when we see how He works it makes it that more powerful.
