I’m a new hunter and so far I’m finding your video content invaluable!!! The info you deliver is most likely gonna be the cause of my first deer harvest!!! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Turns out; following your advice and tactics did in fact lead to my first deer harvest, a buck, and two does for my second year as a new hunter from GA. Excited for my 3rd season. Hunting 2 weeks in Wisconsin with my brother this 2019 season. Thanks Dan!
Never comment on web But Dan is the man , we are about same age and other than my Dad never heard anyone ever speak and teach so much on wind thermals SE side of mountain ridges Ect Ect !!! Even asked my Dad how he learned what he knew , probably same as Dan he loved the woods the hunt and all that went into the Harvest!!!!!! No videos back then the young guys are truly blessed Dan happily shares his knowledge/woodsmanship skills He earned it all through tons of wet cold feet and sweat n bloody arms Ect Ect Thanks Beast
I'm truly grateful for Dan's dedication to sharing the knowledge. Gotta understand how important this is for the young generation. My grampa passed when I was around 8. He hunted and fished. I never got to pick up on his knowledge and woodsmanship. My dad worked in politics so that equaled zero outdoor stuff minus a few camping/fishing trips. I WILL DEFINITELY BE PASSING ON THIS KNOWLEDGE TO MY NEPHEWS, NIECES, AND SONS AND ANY KID I CAN GET INTO THE OUTDOORS.
Hi Dan...those faint trails are usually a bigger bucks trails to scent check those scrapes without actually going right to them...good stuff as usual brother...I always carry a automotive pencil lite in my pack 🏹🎯👍🦌🦌
Hey Dan, Thanks so much for the wealth of information, your experience and knowledge. As a relatively new subscriber(s), ( my wife included) we are thoroughly enjoying not just this vid bur all of your AWESOME channel content ! We appreciate your insights. Pushing deep into, the woods, swamp, mountains, takes mental and physical challenges but in the end, the results whether you harvest a buck or not, gives one a GREAT story to tell. We'll from what we've seen thus far you've demonstrated that exactly. Happy Hunting ! Warmest Regards from Chandler, Arizona
Very similar to the first 2 weeks here in PA. Found some near unmolested areas though. Every hunt is a successful one. It's all about your perception Love the videos
Hey Dan thanks for the knowledge and hard work! I scouted a buck bedding area last feb huge rubs I haven’t gone in yet I hope to do so tomorrow. It’s in super high pressured game lands. I’m going in super early!!! I’m at the point now that I laugh when I see stuff that would’ve had me swearing 🤬😜👍 years ago!
Had to laugh at your story about getting "lost" on the way out. Same thing happened to me two miles back on public last week. Went through the thickest crap i've ever seen trying to find the trail. I lost a good amount of blood on that adventure! HAHA!
i learned a really valuable lesson when i first moved to wisconsin in 99... i went to work at ariens and one of my coworker told me to roll up my winds and moon roof, but i said why, it's a beautiful sunny afternoon...he just said, you'll be sorry, this is wisconsin and it can change its forecast anytime, then sure enough, 30 minutes into my work i heard loud thunder and it was pouring dogs and cats...one worker said nice pool you have.. stupid me, it took me the 2nd time for me to learn that wisconsin can rain, snow, sunny, or cloudy any given time, since then i always take a tarp with me hunting.
2nd year I bow hunted 1987 arrowed small buck 1.5 miles from road. Cloudy near river so couldn’t see anything but timber. State mowed paths bu I walked circles for an hour before I realized. Hung my hat at intersection and got out but when you’re tired and had the adrenaline of killing deer you can get pissed (not worried) because you still have out/back/out total 4.5 miles in my case
I am not sure they are available to the public? I was going to market them and was given some samples then decided against it when a bunch of similar cams started coming out.
Dan (at 12:00) do you think that the little creek was pulling your thermals down and creating a scent pool below your tree when that little buck came in?
Its possible. But I think he just saw me. Its hard to tell in the video, but my feet were only about 6 feet up and I was standing without my back to a tree. I was not much above his line of vision. I did not see a pull to the creek when checking with milkweed, but it certainly had all the ingredients for a thermal pull.
Dan , I have seen a distant photo of your trophy mounts on the barn wall , but , I would love a video close up to view them better. You are a beast , but , a likeable one ... would love to share a couple beers and talk about memories afield with you ... Thanks for all the info , Dan ...you and the boys are the BOMB !
@@thehuntingbeastI'm guilty of that crime, sprayed on won the one day hit him in the eye, he went wind sprinting up a tree from limb too limb , he probably needed some red out after😂😂😂😂
Its not a tacticam. I was going to sell those cameras, I like there small size, but then all these other cams started coming out and I decided not to invest. Not sure if you can buy them publicly or not. I personally think the go-pro is easier to use than the tacticams. mainly cause of shape and mounting.
I use lower end h/d cameras in the $300 - $400 range on most hunts cause I hunt some vicous terrain and go thru a lot of cameras. About 1 a year. We use better cameras for interviews and such. You can get away with that just fine unless your filming for TV shows, but even then, there have been plenty of shows that have used my footage. I design my own camera arms, cause most are designed for a camera man and team filming / hunt groups where I like hunting and filming alone so I designed an arm specifically for that purpose.
I have trouble drawing on deer from treestands because i always aim higher then i like because im afraid im going to miss but i end up shooting high anyhow, and my rangefinder says 35 yards but its really 30 cause im in 16 foot stand, any tips?
Buy an angle intelligent rangefinder. It will give you true yardage no matter how high you are.. Also try to think where that arrow will exit. Always aim for the exit and not the entrance.
If you are using standard old school broadheads they tend to shoot higher than field points. Get a cheap foam target and shoot it with your actual hunting tip from your stand. After a few shots you will be dialed. Than do the same 10-15 yards in and out. Might burn up an arrow and tip or two but well worth the knowledge for when a monster buck appears. Every setup performs a little different. I do this any time I change mine. Shoot confidently, track less.
What did you do about the hunter that left the stand and blind on the public? I myself here in MN take a picture with gps turned on and email it to the DNR :) I know I'm not supposed to take them, but anyone leaving stuff on public IMO have abandon it so I'm within my rights to take it if I want. :)
Enough to piss you off I had a pocket full of candy.. and I eat it all bahahaha. My wife said who is that , I said its Dan and she said sounds like guy in wheelchair off Family Guy! To much man. Good luck this season.!
Dan, or someone help, here in Michigan we get two buck tags and in some areas unlimited doe tags for private land. What if a farmer who let's you hunt for free asks you to fill one of your tags in a area he is noticing crop damage in. He said shoot a couple there please and dont let anything go. It's not one of your spots you expect to hold a mature deer. And on the first sit you see a couple of 1.5 year old bucks in bow range but no does or at least none in bow range. You know with enough time you could kill a doe or two here. (Not guaranteed). Do you fill one tag on a small buck in this area? As a conservationist I want to let them go at such a young age. But the land owner would be thrilled to know I filled a tag here. Also if filming hunts would this type of hunt cause controversy? Im in a dilema because I sat there and saw some 1.5 year old bucks and didnt shoot them, no does. He asked what I saw and I said some deer out of bow range. He said if I dont get one in the next few days he will bring in more hunters or get crop damage tags and let people blast 10 deer of any caliber down. I must reiterate also that this isn't a spot I consider great for potentially killing a big buck during daylight it's just overrun with deer and you can see the crop damage. 8 acres of timber surrounded by a sea of 400 acres of corn. Thoughts?
Thats not really a question I can answer for you... I know what I would do, but you need to decide for yourself. I pretty much am a straight shooter and tell a land owner what I am willing to shoot and if his ideas don't mesh with mine I thank him and move on. I don't want to kill something I don't feel comfortable killing just to make others happy. However, if your happy killing those deer, or want to please the land owner, there is nothing wrong with that.
Dan, thank you for your words around the 17 minute mark. I jumped a very nice buck yesterday evening and haven't been able to think about anything else. Beating myself up. So thank you! Tomorrow maybe I kill him.

Thanks for taking us along Dan,enjoyed every minute
Thanks Dan, very informative.
Very similar to the first 2 weeks here in PA. Found some near unmolested areas though. Every hunt is a successful one. It's all about your perception Love the videos
Awesome video thank you! Loved the "Prom Infalt style". I was like, is she wearing a gown??? Then your caption popped up. Terrific! LOL
Lot's of good info! Thanks Dan!
Awesome info Dan. Thanks. Cool prom night too. Lol
Great video!! Straight up no frills bow hunting, the way it should be.🦌🦌🦌

I love these videos! You ARE a beast!!!
Well done
Love the ending. 😁
I think i remember standing where you are Dan and you telling me the story.
Great stuff way better than those fake high fence shows on tv
Always love the shirts
Great video, Dan. Need to start carrying soap if you are gonna hunt showers like that.
Like your choice of tee-shirts
Well done, definitely subscribed
Lesson #1....don't trust the weather man!
Glad we aren't the only ones that cant trust a weather man!
Thank you then for this video because my one and a half month of the season has been about the same
You gotta be willing to go farther than the next guy to get that big stud. Sept 26th archery season starts in Ohio I'm impatiently waiting lol..
If you could pick one week to hunt ohio public what week would you choose balancing the least amount of pressure and the most amount of deer movement
I keep 2 extra AA batteries in my fanny pack just for that reason, a wrap of electrical tape holds them together and they take up no room really.
Mossy, how you ever going to get any good stories doing smart stuff like that? LOL.
2nd year I bow hunted 1987 arrowed small buck 1.5 miles from road. Cloudy near river so couldn’t see anything but timber. State mowed paths bu I walked circles for an hour before I realized.

But never give up never surrender!!!
Son of a gun the rain broke your windshield Mr. BEAST
Harvested my first milkweed pods yesterday.
You'll love it..
I have been looking for some but I have not found any yet.
Hey Dan, what kind of action cam are you wearing on that headband ? Tactacam ?
I am not sure they are available to the public? I was going to market them and was given some samples then decided against it when a bunch of similar cams started coming out.
Dan u got got have at least 3 light, i bring 4
what time of day are you going in and doing these scout / hang & hunts?
mid day, or early afternoon. When I have time I like to scout mornings then go back to the best looking spot.
Dan (at 12:00) do you think that the little creek was pulling your thermals down and creating a scent pool below your tree when that little buck came in?
Its possible. But I think he just saw me. Its hard to tell in the video, but my feet were only about 6 feet up and I was standing without my back to a tree. I was not much above his line of vision. I did not see a pull to the creek when checking with milkweed, but it certainly had all the ingredients for a thermal pull.
LOL, u need a tree brella in ur pack, Dan.
Hey dan with your one pin site how donu gauges where to shoot at 30 20 and 40 yards is there a way to adjust or do you just know where to aim
It is adjustable, but I rarely shoot over 25 yards.
Ok bro your the best good luck
Dan , I have seen a distant photo of your trophy mounts on the barn wall , but , I would love a video close up to view them better.
You are a beast , but , a likeable one ... would love to share a couple beers and talk about memories afield with you ... Thanks for all the info , Dan ...you and the boys are the BOMB !
Danielson, so what do you do about urine situations, do you let it rip or bottle 🍼 it?
I save it for unsuspecting squirrle ammo... It dont spook deer
@@thehuntingbeastI'm guilty of that crime, sprayed on won the one day hit him in the eye, he went wind sprinting up a tree from limb too limb , he probably needed some red out after😂😂😂😂
Where do I get one of those cameras you have on your head????
Awesome video! What kind of climbing sticks are those?
www.huntingbeastgear.com
Dan is that the tactacam?? How do you like it?? I was thinking to get one but didn't want to waste money of it wasn't worth it
Its not a tacticam. I was going to sell those cameras, I like there small size, but then all these other cams started coming out and I decided not to invest. Not sure if you can buy them publicly or not. I personally think the go-pro is easier to use than the tacticams. mainly cause of shape and mounting.
Where can I get that tshirt at the beginning of your vid lmfao it’s awesome
More I need more!!!
Dan.. do you know when there will be more sticks available? My size 15 boots are eagerly awaiting them!!
soon! sign up on the mailing list at www.huntingbeastgear.com
Weird seeing him hunt food. He is the man.
Tactacam
Dan can you talk about your camera n set up... thanks.
I have learn alot.. thanks

Does the wind whistle through those holes on the steps
No
I have trouble drawing on deer from treestands because i always aim higher then i like because im afraid im going to miss but i end up shooting high anyhow, and my rangefinder says 35 yards but its really 30 cause im in 16 foot stand, any tips?
Wayne Master i do, i hit perfect groups, i just miss from stands
Practice from your stand, at home. You'll notice you can shoot your shorter yardage pins much farther.
Buy an angle intelligent rangefinder. It will give you true yardage no matter how high you are.. Also try to think where that arrow will exit. Always aim for the exit and not the entrance.
practice from a stand.
If you are using standard old school broadheads they tend to shoot higher than field points. Get a cheap foam target and shoot it with your actual hunting tip from your stand. After a few shots you will be dialed. Than do the same 10-15 yards in and out. Might burn up an arrow and tip or two but well worth the knowledge for when a monster buck appears. Every setup performs a little different. I do this any time I change mine. Shoot confidently, track less.
What type of tree stand is that
Thats a one of a kind proto-type. We should be selling them next spring. The current proto is 6.5 pounds.
What did you do about the hunter that left the stand and blind on the public? I myself here in MN take a picture with gps turned on and email it to the DNR :) I know I'm not supposed to take them, but anyone leaving stuff on public IMO have abandon it so I'm within my rights to take it if I want. :)
I just move on... I worry about me.
Enough to piss you off I had a pocket full of candy.. and I eat it all bahahaha. My wife said who is that , I said its Dan and she said sounds like guy in wheelchair off Family Guy! To much man. Good luck this season.!

if you usually fillboth your buck tags, I wouldnt waste one on it
Where do I get the bigfoot tee shirt you're wearing?
That was sent to me from a viewer. Don't know where it was bought.
The Beast is bailing out because of rain ? It's only water man it wont hurt you
never believe the weatherman..lol
Are your sticks off backorder yet ? Haven't checked the site.
Sign up on the mailing list and you will get notifications. I don't think Mario and Rob have any for sale at the moment, but it should be soon.
Heard a buck grunt at 3:50. Sounded like a shitter. I mean shooter, lol
Glad me and my family never called ourselves no beast on Savage
You could concentrate on becoming a "grammar beast", that may help you in future endeavors!
Dan, thank you for your words around the 17 minute mark. I jumped a very nice buck yesterday evening and haven't been able to think about anything else. Beating myself up. So thank you! Tomorrow maybe I kill him.
you shaved, aint you cute
Who is the girl in the blue dress? Is she single?
Thats my daughter. Old footage, she has been married many years... Sorry Guys!
I am so excited about deer hunting right now that I am not even thinking about dear hunting.
