Love hunting the hills. Thanks for making this.

[@jammiesanford8100]

Can't get enough of your hillcountry videos! Thanks!

[@AJ-79]

Awesome educational video from the beast. I wish I could have made it to the workshop. Hopefully I gain my vision back completely before the season starts, so I can get back to scouting and setting up on deer again.

[@shimmeringleaves8181]

Great video and sound quality! This video did an awesome explanation of hill country set-ups. 5 star quality...

[@chanceyfuller3695]

Awesome video quality and I’ve hunted hill country my whole life. Thank you sir for all the endless Information, it is greatly appreciated.

[@stanleybuck4195]

Good video Dan. Good comments about not burning out sites, put cameras up high out of sight, and that ATVs alert deer that they've being hunted.

My nights complete ! Thanks Dan!! Come to Iowa I got the good public land spots and 3 hots and a cot for ya!!

Why do people type this in the comments? Nobody is coming to live with you to hunt go get actual friends.

It’s called hospitality! And we all know what you lack in life 😂 !! Go hang out with a bunch of your friends that have no morals and sit and troll on KZbin. You sit down to pee huh?? It’s ok 👌🏽

great video Dan . cant say enough about cover and safety Those big bucks are almost always loners until the rut. Also those historical Rubs scream volumes thanks again great suff

Great video thanks for sharing.

best video I've seen for hill country, spot on to how I have to set up in my area, too bad it took me 5 years to learn this by trial and error, would of been nice to have seen something like this many years ago

Great video guys!

[@bradmoss2911]

Dan great job wild you be willing to do the same thing on my property in kentucky 177 acres of diverse terrain (hill country) You have a great strategy look at leveraging the best options. Hill country is a challenge so having your perspective would be great Thanks for everything you do for our hunting industry

[@nates2914]

👍Hel yeah👍

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Good video, would love to see on a map how you’d access the hunting spots, after you seen them from scouting boots on the ground so we can get an idea on approach from an aerial if that makes sense. ?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Awwww yeahhhhhh

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Goo$ vid Dan

[@matthewdefee171]

This was pointed out in the video so I wanted to ask - how many people are actually finding that bucks are skirting around the points and coming up on the hillsides in hill country? That's not my experience personally. Maybe the examples I'm thinking of are to specific to one location, but Wayne Forrest in Ohio, for example, no deer are walking up the steeper hillside. They are all walking up the points because it's much much easier. This includes the older bucks. Thoughts? Maybe this all depends on just how steep the hills are?

[@thehuntingbeast]

I think a lot of the movements around hills are based on wind and thermals at least with the older bucks...

[@archeryonly5629]

💯👍

[@JimBowSlice]

One of the biggest things for me is figuring out how much wind trump's thermal in pretty flat land slight contours

[@reddawng43x91]

Wind trumps all on flat!

[@richnaples2852]

I got a question.. I’m picturing where you are on that nob standing in the starting of the video, I’m looking at a piece of public ground similar. Now where your standing on the nob let’s say there’s a marsh / creek bottom with cattails and oxbow adjacent to those ridge tops and fingers. Would you say the big stuff would bed in the marsh early season first and then leave up to those ridge fingers when the rut hits closer then start hitting those leeward ridges to Monitor doe activity in the rut or would they do both in early season and rut. Now another thing unlike that property your standing on the piece I’m looking at has lots of aggressive rubs/ scrapes on mainly the tips of the fingers so my thinking is the marsh is the early pre rut bedding and the ridge tip fingers are rut bedding. Am I thinking right?

[@thehuntingbeast]

You might be right... But, they could be doing both.

[@richnaples2852]

@@thehuntingbeast That’s what I was thinking on those tips then when the slightest pressure bam right in the oxbow in the marshy cattails. The ridge tips are red oak so could be there early but close to the marsh stillI don’t know if this particular buck is resident or not my first time in on this piece of public.. But I explored the points which sign looks like aggressive rut and the oxbow found what you call primary beds in the cattails against the creek where signs older like velvet peel off but did see beds on the tips as well where they can see the bottoms. I wanna be aggressive but also don’t wanna hurt my chances there’s a big boy there, my guts saying kill him early a cellcam or two might be needed.

[@tomnolan2186]

Hi Dan, Question for you. If I wanted to hunt a bedding area on a high point. Good rubs, beds, multiple trails coming in. How early would you recommend me getting there before sun up to sneak in there before they come back to bed? The high point has bedding all around the outsides and the deer can bed there in any wind on the leeward side. Would you recommend getting there a hour before sun up, 2 hours?? Thanks for the video. Very useful

[@thehuntingbeast]

The earlier the better usually.. Just keep in mind while setting up the thermals will drop till sin up, then start to rise as the sun comes up.

Planting certain crops to pull deer in a favorable direction

[@mizfit32]

Is it easier to catch deer going to bedding or coming from bedding?

[@calebowens3006]

Theirs Dan and what’s left of em

[@Dbtom5522]

Please excuse my ignorance here, I completely understand why these deer would be bedding on those points in this video. My mind struggles with those particular spots because I would not consider those areas as being thick. Is this only because it is private property? Where I hunt in MA, the ridges and points do not hold much sign unless there is a lot more cover. Is this just a regional situation? I do not hunt any other state. When I find bedding it usually includes laurel, immature pines, or swamp and marsh edges.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Thats a good question... Josh cut out a lot of the boring parts that showed points with less cover and that talk about how this whole property could be so much better if it were thicker... Plain and simple, the bucks have to bed somewhere, and these points held the thickest cover in the area. There was a couple spots that were thicker, but did not have the terrain features they like.

[@Dbtom5522]

Understood. Thank you

[@robertskowronski2923]

I enjoy your videos very much. I do have one request. As you point things out please be aware that some of us need to stay on the ground. For example, I am 73 years old and in good shape for my age but I know better than to climb trees now. I have known too many men younger than I am that will never again be able to hunt after a fall. Of the deer I have shot 1/2 of them have been from the ground. I am not an expert so information about setting up on the ground would e helpful to me and perhaps others. Thank You!

[@robertayoder2063]

It sure would and most my best mature bucks been from the ground

[@brentlung8757]

Are the Appalachian mountains considered hill country to? Or would you take a slightly different approach?

[@thehuntingbeast]

You can relate a lot of the participles there as well

[@brentlung8757]

Just wanted to hear it from the man himself. Been following these tactics the past 4 years and have had alot of success. Still trying to fine tune few things in the steap terrains but it's all coming together. Appreciate everything Dan

[@sotawild502]

This channel is like a hunting bible to me, I have nothing but respect for you guys. That being said PLEASE!!!!!! figure out your microphone and sound equalization. It makes some of your videos unwatchable.

[@beforetheecho]

Yeah I had a very good mic on Dan for the entire filming and it broke the 1st 30 minutes.... It is what it is none of us are rich making these videos and we don't have backup $400 mics to replace them right away when stuff happens.

[@sotawild502]

@@beforetheecho Yeah man, i totally get it. Like i said i live by Dan's advise when it comes to deer hunting. Im just saying better mics and more work during editing would help a lot. We veiwers want to hear what you guys are saying. Why put out videos if people have to struggle to heat whats going on. If there are issues with microphones, then do voice over tracks during the editing process. Your stands and sticks are very high priced and usually are out of stock. Dont tell me you cant afford a few wireless mics and maybe a boom mic for the workshops. Im not hating trust me i whatch EVERYTHING you guys put out.

[@beforetheecho]

Do you have a boom mic or lav mic suggestions to buy? I had a really nice Sennheiser wireless mic on Dan but the wire got caught on a limb and tore it in two. Me and Tim both had high quality shotgun mics made by Rode on our cams. Also, if you've edited any films I love some pointers. I'm always trying to learn more on that end.
