Dan & Rick tackle scouting a large remote area of thick terrain, where deer seem to bed everywhere, and seek out hunting spots and knowledge for this fall.
I respect this friendship, my friends look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them to go for a walk with me and check out some land. I'm solo everytime. Got my 6 year old to walk 5 miles with me scouting though.
Lol my 6 year old got me to scout 5 hard miles I'm like no man these ravines are to deep for you he's pssshhh and headed right down this 200 foot deep cliff like dude hooold up kid this is dangerous
'Agreeing Rick' saying Right to everything Dan says. AM I RIGHT? right... and 'Read Me Dan' with a wardrobe that can be read by all man. Nothing beats a superhero and their sidekick.
I admire your conviction while scouting. When I scout I think to myself... this is what I think will happen. With Dan, it's what he knows will happen. Confidence cannot be bought or sold. Thanks for all the great videos! Lovin my beast sticks by the way!
Why I’d want the antler: As a simple reminder.....A reminder of all of the ways your insight has changed my hunting. A reminder to think differently and always stay positive. A reminder that good things do not come easy, and eventually hard work does pay off. A reminder to never give up. This lil antler would always stay in my pack so I had the Dan wisdom with me on every hunt and scouting trip, guiding me properly to make the right decisions. The dual signatures would remind me to appreciate those times shared with great hunting buddies, either family or friends .....you guys are great, honestly your methods/tips/suggestions have changed the way I hunt, also how and when I scout. I’ve learned so much from what you guys have shared in all of the videos you’ve made (I think I’ve seen them all) For all of that....I thank you
Thanks y’all for always providing helpful information. I love the shirt Dan💪🏼👊🏼💥🇺🇸‼️ Thanks also for making it fun and making me laugh. You guys Rock‼️ 🦌
Hey Dan! Just wanted you to know that I believe you have it figured out. Over the years you have taught me many things about deer and their habits. I have to admit, your rarely wrong when it comes to one with a nice rack on his head. I appreciate you being real and true to hunting. Keep it up man! I am 44 and still learn something I can take to the woods to help, every time I watch. Thanks for the good information and the help to close some great bow kills in Virginia and Tennessee.
I play all of dans videos on the big screen in the living room and my fiancé rolls her eyes every time she walks in and see’s is playing haha but I must say she gets a kick out of dans shirts. Great videos Dan.. keep it up👍🏻
Rick, I can’t believe you let Dan hurt that tree by rubbing his monstrous unicorn antler on it. You must hunt him down and make him pay. Lol. Love the videos guys. keep up the good work.
If Dan is the Big Buck Serial Killer, that must mean Rick commits misdemeanors against two-year olds.😁 Much love Rick, good meeting you at the workshop in late Feb.
Always learn something watching your videos. Seems so easy when you comment on sign and what it means. I go out, find sign and look around and am usually like ok - what does it all mean ?? Not so easy to put it all together and form a plan but your videos sure help !
Beaver's will make those cuts in the banks of stream adjacent to alders. See it all the time at my Uncle's farm. See it all the time on my property further North. Not saying the deer won't use them, but if there's no deer tracks in 'em, they're definitely made by beavers.
Great episode, going through the archives and learning more everyday. Thanks, For everything you guys do. I think that antler of Rick's was probably made in China as well haha
Dan, if you would man up and get a saddle you could get more than 3 feet off the ground! Hahaha jk. Videos are always educational. You have taught me alot.
Going to hunt an area in Northern Michigan public land exactly like this after opening day of firearm 2022. We’ll see if Dan’s advice helps. Thanks for all your videos.
Rick I have some extra band aids , following dan through the swamp thickets on a deer scouting trip must be like following a billy goat through a standing corn field that thinks that every stalk is a beautiful nanny goat , ha ha ha he he ha ha , oh yeah , I got some beer goggles too.
"I'll rub one in the thick, I'll rub one in the hills, I'll rub one in the swamp, my rack gives you chills. I'll lick one high and I'll scrape one low, I'll do it in the fall and I'll do it in the snow. I'll give you fits wondering just where I'll go, I'll make you shake when you draw back your bow. You'll pray and you'll hope just to see me, I'll make you sweat and weak in the knee. You'll do what you can to find what I please, Good luck, I'm just a big buck who simply loves trees!"
With the size buck that shed came off of, my bet is he’s the one that destroyed the tent and left the bones of the hunter behind. Hell, he was probably the one that tore the treestand down. Nice jawbone😉
You guys think alot about how bucks are moving through the woods. I need to start doing that more. I had an epiphany last season when thinking more of the big picture but now i need to dial the fine details. Thanks for toting rick around and teaching us how to hunt. Jk rick is the man
Don’t worry Rick, it’s not all about the size of the shed, what’s most important is how you use it! I’m sure there will be plenty of trees out there for you to rub on that’ll make you feel like a big buck
Just found new hunting grounds that look identical to the area you all were looking at. Makes me feel like I'm onto something. Pretty sure we won't run into each other because it lacks the canes I seen their. It does have cattails though and two trout streams. Central wisconsin
That is hilarious man! 🤣 I dont know if anyone would get it thats not from Michigan. Just need to throw Rompola in the mix. Rompola would kill a giant in there without scouting.
You know Dan is giving Rick trouble about the small antler. But at least Rick is hitting the deer he shoots, Rick didn't have videos about how he was lacking confidence in his shooting... Keep your head up Ricker you killed that monster dont let Danny boy pick on you!!!!
I allways worry about finding human remains in isolated areas. My buddy found one, he thought he saw a deer scull in the muck, pulled it out and it was a human scull!. He said the smell was on his hand for a couple days. Creepy!!
As a MoldMaker/CNC machinist I always crack up at how you pick on people. My non shop friends always wonder why we're so rough on people! Ricks an easy target but also he can take it without being a little bitch. Love the video and keep up the good work. PS Idea for a shirt..... Whats the difference track and a women? A track you can fit four fingers in is considered a good thing!
Tell Ricky needs to take camera lessons because he does not point out or show all of the things that Dan talks about including rubs and scrapes. I think he is a good guy but he needs to speak up when he is saying stuff because he mumbles behind the camera. Tell Ricky to brighten this New Year’s up by killing a bigger buck than Dan. PS I’ve always wantedRicky’s signature on a white tail antler Hah Hah Hah keep the good work up I would like to see more of these videos you’re doing a awesome job dan, you have taught me a lot!
Dan’s hair is getting pretty long. The secret to big bucks is long hair and metal! Dan’s getting back to his roots when he killed monsters all over. The 90s had to be the best time to hunt if u knew what Dan knows
Great way to alert deer to your presence, put your hands all over the trees they rub on, that scent will stay there for at least a week, hope your right about wnen the trail is getting used.
I'm curious if Rick needed to know how big that antler looked on a deer so Dan had to pose rubbing that tree so he could make sure it was as big as he thought. 😁
I found a spot like that not alot of sign but was thick and i thought deer gotta hide in here during season( well i found out why the next year)…. Ever other day there was a group of Amish that pushed it … litterly ever other day
Do you guys believe there are thermal hubs in this type of country? I'm hunting an area like this and think that several small dry creeks that are just a bit lower than the rest of the flat land, coming together, might actually be a thermal hub. That subject is new to me, and I'm trying to figure out how to approach it. I believe some big deer are catching my wind in there, as I hunt just outside of it. I've never had my wind blow directly in it, but I think it's possible the cross winds and dropping thermals sometimes end up in there as bucks pass through it on their way out for the evenings. Thoughts anyone?
Quite possible that you found a spot with funky thermals. Terrain shape, water, etc... can all play havoc with thermals and wind currents. But a thermal hub from my definition is a deep ravine usually in hill country with draws coming in from several directions.
All I know, is the last time I scouted thick, flat, remote, low lands...9 months later I had a son... And I can assure you that Dan and Rick weren't there...
"I can put four fingers in that" with a print needs to be your next t-shirt
I know a few girls like that.😂
You win the internet today hahaha 🤣
lol she a biggen when you can put 4 fingers in her print
Hahaha a deer print would make that shirt the perfect conversation starter. Im gonna make the shirt!
I would like to pre-order that shirt please!
Rick is like me! A spoon and crockpot hunter, killing tomorrow’s trophies today!
I respect this friendship, my friends look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them to go for a walk with me and check out some land. I'm solo everytime. Got my 6 year old to walk 5 miles with me scouting though.

My girl goes w me an she hangs pretty well lol
Then those same friends want to hunt your stands. Smh
If you’re in Nebraska I’m in lol. All my buddies hunt their dads private lands so no one’s willing to scout public
You have taught me so much about reading beds, and bedding in general
'Agreeing Rick' saying Right to everything Dan says. AM I RIGHT? right... and 'Read Me Dan' with a wardrobe that can be read by all man. Nothing beats a superhero and their sidekick.
You guys are always striving to teach and share your knowledge. I am very grateful for mentors like this!!✊🏻
Great content as always ✌🏻
The scouting is real and to find a Rick sized antler ,nice,great public
I admire your conviction while scouting. When I scout I think to myself... this is what I think will happen. With Dan, it's what he knows will happen. Confidence cannot be bought or sold. Thanks for all the great videos! Lovin my beast sticks by the way!
I knew this wasn't hill country cause ole Rick wasn't out of breath the whole time! lol
Poor Rick following the moon all day ..haha buy Dan some long tail tees Rick lol .. another great video u guys rock it...

Every point that Dan makes, Rick “I agree!” 😂 of course you agree the big buck cereal killer is always right!
That was my blind! I'd used it just days before you discovered it.
What a fantastic shed hunting tutorial! Keep up the good work, guys!
Love the information, good perspective, and helping to visualize setups.
Hey Dan! Just wanted you to know that I believe you have it figured out. Over the years you have taught me many things about deer and their habits.

The way Dan keeps twirling that antler around, makes us think he's never had a bone that big in his hand before! 😂
Rubbin’ Rick and Dan the Man!
Scouting videos are the best. Good info again 👍🏻👍🏻
0:54 - we’re getting into the middle of some really brutal shh..stuff.” Nice save, Dan. Haha
Have fun covering the point Rick, hopefully you get the Beast that dropped that Fork!
Great Vid!
Nice video and instructive dialogue! I tend to hunt very near a very old damaged deer stand and it’s my best stand site! 😎🎯
Makes sense. Another great video. Beast style.
I play all of dans videos on the big screen in the living room and my fiancé rolls her eyes every time she walks in and see’s is playing haha but I must say she gets a kick out of dans shirts. Great videos Dan.. keep it up👍🏻
Rick, I can’t believe you let Dan hurt that tree by rubbing his monstrous unicorn antler on it. You must hunt him down and make him pay. Lol. Love the videos guys. keep up the good work.
About damn time dan!! Been waiting for another class session 🤣 always great content 🍻🦌
Just about to turn in for the night and Dan posts a bedside story for us wacko deer hunters. Sweet dreams filled with big beams.
I love videos like this , thanks !
Ole’ Ricky Bobby trailing from behind Dan the Man grabbin little Racks off Dan’s tracks!
great vid but truly love thst t shirt . it says it all spot on
Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you "The hunting BEAST" and "The hunting LEAST".
Lol I always enjoy watching you two cut up.
If Dan is the Big Buck Serial Killer, that must mean Rick commits misdemeanors against two-year olds.😁 Much love Rick, good meeting you at the workshop in late Feb.
Beast style gets me sheds like that I’m all in!!!
Always learn something watching your videos. Seems so easy when you comment on sign and what it means. I go out, find sign and look around and am usually like ok - what does it all mean ?? Not so easy to put it all together and form a plan but your videos sure help !
Great info on how to rub one out with that little horn Dan. And Rick “Agrees!”
Send me the antler please! Great work with the videos as usual Dan!
Beaver's will make those cuts in the banks of stream adjacent to alders. See it all the time at my Uncle's farm. See it all the time on my property further North. Not saying the deer won't use them, but if there's no deer tracks in 'em, they're definitely made by beavers.
Great episode, going through the archives and learning more everyday.
Thanks, For everything you guys do.
I think that antler of Rick's was probably made in China as well haha
I come in there and rubbed all them trees a week before y’all were in there😂😂😂😂
Supposed to been witty,
Rick in the thick and Dan in the stand will show us how a 2 point shed = a big buck dead!
Dan, if you would man up and get a saddle you could get more than 3 feet off the ground! Hahaha jk. Videos are always educational. You have taught me alot.
Another epic T-shirt!
Going to hunt an area in Northern Michigan public land exactly like this after opening day of firearm 2022. We’ll see if Dan’s advice helps. Thanks for all your videos.
The big rub with two scratch marks is obviously from the 2 point shed you guys found 😂
That shirt is Epic!!!!
As always, I like the video but love Dan's shirt!
Love the shirt sir. Jonesy
Dan the hunting beast Rick the hunting beauty
Rick I have some extra band aids , following dan through the swamp thickets on a deer scouting trip must be like following a billy goat through a standing corn field that thinks that every stalk is a beautiful nanny goat , ha ha ha he he ha ha , oh yeah , I got some beer goggles too.
This man is a genius
The video was awesome, but Dans shirt is f*cking phenomenal lmao. The banter is hilarious
"I'll rub one in the thick, I'll rub one in the hills,
I'll rub one in the swamp, my rack gives you chills.
I'll lick one high and I'll scrape one low,
I'll do it in the fall and I'll do it in the snow.
I'll give you fits wondering just where I'll go,
I'll make you shake when you draw back your bow.
You'll pray and you'll hope just to see me,
I'll make you sweat and weak in the knee.
You'll do what you can to find what I please,
Good luck, I'm just a big buck who simply loves trees!"
I’m pretty sure Dan is gonna put Rick in the spot where the giant shed was found😂 That a real beast tactic!
I'm fine with that, not only small ones go though there.
@@rickkimball4498 Lol all fun you guys keep up the great content!
With the size buck that shed came off of, my bet is he’s the one that destroyed the tent and left the bones of the hunter behind. Hell, he was probably the one that tore the treestand down. Nice jawbone😉
The BEAST💪
That Trophy Corona Buck won't last with the Giant killers Dan and Rick on the trail!
It's all shits in giggles till someone giggles n shits!!
You guys think alot about how bucks are moving through the woods. I need to start doing that more. I had an epiphany last season when thinking more of the big picture but now i need to dial the fine details. Thanks for toting rick around and teaching us how to hunt. Jk rick is the man
Dan, if you hunt this... and create a video.. tie it back to this scouting... it helps me put it all together.. good stuff
So if Dan's the big buck serial killer, does that mean Rick's the little buck serial killer? Love the content and scouting guys! Keep it up!!
Dude you need to make that a shirt..."I could put 4 fingers in that!"
“You’re not masking in the swamp” 🤣
Don’t worry Rick, it’s not all about the size of the shed, what’s most important is how you use it! I’m sure there will be plenty of trees out there for you to rub on that’ll make you feel like a big buck
I think i heard a deer blow never miss a beat big Dan ,yeah it happens 😂😂😂
Just found new hunting grounds that look identical to the area you all were looking at. Makes me feel like I'm onto something. Pretty sure we won't run into each other because it lacks the canes I seen their. It does have cattails though and two trout streams. Central wisconsin
"Bucks" never "Duck" a "Beaver" but Dan and Rick will always dangle in the wind over the Wet Spot with hair in it . !!
Beast Bone!!!
Time for a belt Dan. Moon was out!
Id rather have an autograph on that shirt.
I will make sure we do that next time!!
Good Ole lunch box humor.
Jeff Sturgis would have found a bigger shed 🤣🤣 and Eberhart wouldn’t have left so much scent! 😂😂 - I win
That is hilarious man! 🤣 I dont know if anyone would get it thats not from Michigan. Just need to throw Rompola in the mix. Rompola would kill a giant in there without scouting.
I think Dan should be the tree and let lLil Ricky set on hus shoulders ...give new name to the Beast Stand!!
You better go back and find the other side. That would make the perfect “Rick Rattlin Rack.”
You know Dan is giving Rick trouble about the small antler. But at least Rick is hitting the deer he shoots, Rick didn't have videos about how he was lacking confidence in his shooting... Keep your head up Ricker you killed that monster dont let Danny boy pick on you!!!!
"Ricks little Stick" antler
Hopfully a rick sized antler isn't code for something else!! I mean hey it happens gotta start somewhere.
I allways worry about finding human remains in isolated areas. My buddy found one, he thought he saw a deer scull in the muck, pulled it out and it was a human scull!. He said the smell was on his hand for a couple days. Creepy!!
Please tell more.
Was it my pappy? Left for smokes at the store 20 years ago
Hunt the thick stuff during rut. Ground breaking stuff.
A couple times during the video I thought you were trying to sell crack....
You know those bumber stickers that you see WWJD .. I’m gonna make some up that’s a little more my cup of tea.
WWDD …What would Dan do. !!
Thanks Dan! As for antler: “ Rick is a Dick, Your shed is Small, as for your knowledge you teach us all”
As a MoldMaker/CNC machinist I always crack up at how you pick on people. My non shop friends always wonder why we're so rough on people! Ricks an easy target but also he can take it without being a little bitch. Love the video and keep up the good work. PS Idea for a shirt..... Whats the difference track and a women?

Would like to know more about why beaver sign means there are bucks in the aera. Is it the water?
Rick size? Didn't Rick knock out that buck you were chasing? Lol just messing around. Thanks for the video.
Great way to alert deer to your presence, put your hands all over the trees they rub on, that scent will stay there for at least a week, hope your right about wnen the trail is getting used.
Title of next video: Rick earns revenge rewarding the serial buck killer a grundy ride. Plenty of opportunity Rick, PULL IT OFF!
That sounds like a great idea, you have no idea how many comments of mine he cuts out!!
@@rickkimball4498 I believe it. He is portrayed as a bully without letting you defend yourself once and awhile.
@@rickkimball4498 But hey, he makes it work.., so far. :-)
When is the Rick size shirt coming 😮
I'm curious if Rick needed to know how big that antler looked on a deer so Dan had to pose rubbing that tree so he could make sure it was as big as he thought. 😁
What's the connection with beavers and bucks?
Can we get a t-shirt that has a picture of rick on it and it says "yeah I agree"
Nice
@@rickkimball4498
much love rick
I agree
I'll make a set of rattling horns for Rick from that "giant" shed!!
Find the other antler so Rick can use them to rattle
I found a spot like that not alot of sign but was thick and i thought deer gotta hide in here during season( well i found out why the next year)…. Ever other day there was a group of Amish that pushed it … litterly ever other day
Id use the antler for a decoy buck
Smoking during season is absolutely a big no no. But do you guys like to take a scouting break way out in nature during off season?
Do you guys believe there are thermal hubs in this type of country? I'm hunting an area like this and think that several small dry creeks that are just a bit lower than the rest of the flat land, coming together, might actually be a thermal hub.

Wow, thank you very much for replying! I understand, and that kind of drove it home.@@thehuntingbeast
All I know, is the last time I scouted thick, flat, remote, low lands...9 months later I had a son... And I can assure you that Dan and Rick weren't there...
Lol! you win
I'm surprised Dan didn't try and eat the balloon string. Also, I noticed Rick was able to control his breathing a lot better than the other video!
I may have eaten the string off video...
