I swatted at the imaginary mosquitoes every time I heard them in my earbud, lol can you tell I'm used to scouting in the summer...
As far as I am concerned, this has got to be the best scouting video I have ever seen. The humor just held me all the way through.
I think Dan touched on something important. He referenced drones. Drones already have the capability to carry hunters to their stands. It’s coming make no mistake about it. Also real time in season drone scouting reports are going to be made available probably to the highest bidders or paid subscription. Drones can dissect a 500 acre piece of public in a single morning. Get exact deer count and sex ratios, find specific deer and bedding locations. This technology is so precise you can see sockets where deer shed their antlers from 400 feet up. Someone could pay a drone guy to take these swamps apart piece by piece and never get wet feet doing it. People are fretting about cell cameras. Drones are the real threat to hunting as we know it. It can literally turn killing the biggest deer in any given location into the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel…
I agree. Not to mention big brother watching EVERYTHING you do, every moment of the day. It's disturbing.
Anytime I hear a story start out with "drone" or "cell cam", I promptly quit listening to it. The technology "hunters" are using now, makes me sick
@@MollyDogg1234I believe in cams but cell cams with real time pictures just isn’t fair. Especially when there’s snow just walk up follow the track for a bit and shoot em. It isn’t hunting
Great video, seeing the scouting process is always helpful! Every scenario has different results and its fun to see how you and Eric break it down.
I almost spit out my coffee onto the screen @ 5:09
I enjoy the scouting more than picking the trees. thanks for sharing this Dan.
Scouting is finding sighn and a tree to hunt the sighn u find. ..
Love watching you brother just wish we could scout here in the south like y’all during the summer but unfortunately we’d die from snake bites, ticks,chiggers,alligators,wasps and several other things lol especially in our swamps 🤣👍🏻
Watching the masters at work...exciting
You and Eric seem to have a lot of fun and enjoy the process. Great video. Hope you hang and hunt this spot this coming season. The Raspberry Buck.
Always great content Dan! We always learn from a day in the woods whether fruitful or not.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing more insight! Also, in case this is valuable, I think the 30 min mark is pretty perfect for this type of video. Cheers
I use to do that with black berrys Dan. Way back in the good ole days!!
Good stuff thanks for taking us along
I like these videos don’t trash them. This is how most of my scouting walks end up. I normally get some knowledge of the area but don’t really find a spot
I’m replying before watching the video. There’s no distance on how far deer are from food sources. I’ve seen deer day bedding at their food sources. I’ve seen deer travel qtr mile to their food source.
Another weird thing I heard people think about deer is that they bed in the same spot every day and travel the same paths everyday. That’s why when u see trails off side of road going up a hill u will see trails for hundreds of yds down the road in many cases.
I hunt mountains in va. It’s amazing how far the old deer travel to bed and hide. 2 miles in is minimum.
Scouting can teach ppl good stuff ! Great video Guys !
I ate raspberries the same way as a kid, it actually pretty good. I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.
The babies!!!!!! I need to feed them!
So I've always called them black berries because their not ready till blackish purple, we have raspberries but they stay red but get huge, I'm from pa though
Great video guys!
Do big bucks move better in tornado warnings?? 😂
I feel bad for people who don't understand this type of life or that have never experienced it. Hunting, Fishing, Scouting, Hiking, Picking berries or mushrooms etc...we would all be better off with nature in our lives. Not to mention the camaraderie between friends and figuring things out. It helps you figure out daily life
Great content! Keep it coming
That’s so funny I live in Jefferson county but not in Wisconsin and it’s pretty much the same beer bottles along the roads where road hunters go
Ricky gets picked on a lot more than Eric, and I see him killing a lot more on here than Eric does 😂
We love Ricky... His reactions make picking on him fun. But trust me, he picks on me pretty hard, so he is getting it back. Ricky is busy working hard at the mobile show in the south while I scout deer so his dedication is appreciated. Looking forward to hopefully getting out with him soon.
this was a great video!
Theirs so many white deer in Northern Wisconsin
If the deer are using that property regularly ie the runs we all find and there is human activity with all the homemade blinds , if there’s a ton of sign there it could very well mean, that those blinds are old ! And the deer are naturally moving through there
Nah, 10x the hunters on public now compared to 10 yrs ago my bet is that it’s not old
@@user-sp9hy8tq4j nah see how grown in the weeds are around them it’s old!
There aint a single dry land ridge on public land within 100 miles of that property that does not have guys all over it all hunting season... Pretty obvious mature deer are avoidimng dry land ridges during daylight in this area.
@@thehuntingbeast ok
Dan ain’t lying. Southern WI is ridiculous on public. Especially since nobody goes up north to hunt anymore hardly. I made that mistake of thinking I was “secluded” and I don’t believe there is such a thing.
I can not wait to see, yeah
You all hunt that, and the deer that you bring out of there
I only hunt when my county has an active tornado warming.
Made me laugh when you said how you used to eat the berries my grandmother and I use to do the same thing with blueberries minus that much sugar for her milk just made them taste so much better
Drum stick island 🍗
I have a question... if hunters are hunting the ridge where all those rubs and hunter sign is from, if hunters are in there during deer season, even at night, deer would smell their scent and avoid it wouldn't they? Is it possible that maybe all the sign or majority of it is from gun hunters and not really bow hunters and those bucks may be in there in early season? I have some spots here in MI where it seems like that is the case and just trying to figure out if it is in fact from bow or just gun hunters.
Feeding those raccoons is very cool. Glad to see they accepted Eric into the family. Of course, food always helps. 😅
What I see is bucks will tolerate humans in arras they ise at night... Tjey wont tolerate humans in areas they use in daylight... Bucks move all over the place in the cover of darkness and will move to food after the day people are gone to eat.
Dan, first of all you are the MAN! I truly love your videos more for You then where and how you hunt! You should consider a second life in Politics???? Yuck!!! Hahaha. I know I will get blasted for this but, I love hunting whitetail on the ridges in the Northeast and I don't really care to hunt the Swamps like you! I take big bucks every year in Pa and NY, but I really enjoy the beauty and the scenery on the ridges. I see your strategy.......go where others can't or don't want to go and you will find older deer. I do the same with distance. I'm 67 and once I'm a couple miles in I usually have the woods to myself and I'm dry!!!
Keep up the good work and let me know if you want to take a week off and enjoy some dry ground for a change?
If we scouted now in Bama we'd step on a rattle headed copper moccosin.
Louisiana too, ain’t nobody scouting during the summer in the south! Nobody!
I scout in the summer it's tough snake boots when it's 100 out but deer here change location as soon as temperature drops so it's not much help
Summer as well as spring scouting is not about looking at current sign, its about looking at where they were last fall...
Love the shirt Dan. Make America great again
I used to eat a bunch of those berries and mulberrys until one day I just shut my brains out I quit eating em by the handful after that
I’m screaming *chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp* 😂😂😂😂
I learned from an old timer, don't hunt where you want to see deer, hunt where the deer actually are. I try to stick to that ideology now.
I'm the one who made that saying up. It was many years ago, probably around 2006.
@@billwhitacre703Sure you did!🙄🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
@@gregsido9235 Haha
Mine is hunt where the terrain forces the deer to be, but i hunt the big woods mountains of north central PA
I only hunt when my county has an active heat advisory warning.
Half & Half or heavy whipping cream on any berries really is better than plain milk.
Dan , what do you do when you go back too that area , and theres 4 guys all un that island in the junk with you there? Just curious on the game plan if two guys are set up 75 yards in the junk next too the big boy,?
Regardless of the pressure its pretty rare I run into other hunters at intended kill spots... It happens maybe once a year (1 out of 80 hunts) and I just wave and back out... If someone else is hunting there Im in the wrong spot.
I think that's what all the people are saying about youtubers and public hunting......you used to be able to get back further than anyone else, but now everyone has seen the proof that it works and is thus doing it themselves.
It has a lot more to do with "onx bravery" than youtuberd
Im buying a drone this year and a rope/ harnesss so i can fly myself over the deer bedding , feeding areas and hunt from the air ...
I've seen deer browse the tips of the new canes and leave the berries. Makes no sense to me.
Ah jeez… I am so embarrassed that they made fun of my super awesome blind.
The HUNTIN BEAST!!!🦌🦌🦌🦌
Dan....were you really feeding those Nest robbing Bandits?? Please protect our ground nesting birds!!! I thought that You were a Killer!!!Lol
Mine eat cookies... not eggs
No baby turkeys were hurt in the making of this video. It didn't feel a thing! 😉
Can yall send me some raspberries 😂😂😂😂😂
How are the ticks? As many as the raspberries?
TYhey are actually better now than they were a month ago... Did not find any this time, but skeeters were thick. Deet did its job.
Nice to hear you are out in the woods Ive been paranoid of the nasty ticks guess I have to man up and get out there.@thehuntingbeast
✌
Go back to the homemade blinds and take cover
Dan , did you bear hunt this spring ?
No...
Hopefully you dont go out there to hunt and see the guy who built all the blinds out there in yet another blind eating a raspberry preserve sandwiches and drinking beer. I think the Hunting Beast concept has caught on in swampland especially in WI and they are doing what you have always been doing by going where no man has gone before. Time to start hunting the parking lots again. LOL!
Raccoons eat honey buns.
Love the Trump shirt Dan
Find a bear den and climb in😂
Great show !! Trump 2024 !!
Good grief, overthinking in abundance.
