COLD BLOODED

Dan faces extreme cold, trespassers, and small game hunters. Will he get his archery buck in Wisconsin? Or will his bow tag go unfilled.

This is hands down the best hunting content on you tube. It may not have the editing and "b roll" that other channels have but what it has is real and educational and can make hunters better. Keep the content coming.

[@paulb442]

Control the things you can control. Merry Christmas Dan! Thanks for all that you do!

[@h-minus2212]

When discussing the mistakes you made this year - you owned them. Men do that - take responsibility and cast no blame. Impressive.

[@josephtaylor7858]

Amen, that's how we grow from our mistakes

[@PennsylvaniaSasquatch]

This has got to be the most unique and entertaining hunting video I have ever seen. Thanks, Dan, for your meticulous committment to video taping your hunts as the really happen. Most guys would have given up attempting to video the hunt when things go this far down hill. So, thanks for showing us how it really is.

[@Craig-777]

When that Pheasant hunter came by, breaking ice, I could'nt help from laughing😂we've all been there as public land bow hunters❤

[@jimpeterson3806]

The best, most realistic hunting videos on KZbin hands down. Thanks for sharing your highs, lows and everything in between. Kudos for not letting mother nature keep you on the couch!

[@kevinjamieson7899]

I heard a gobble at 5:14 , then Dan did an instant wind check. Lmfao.

[@Chalz108]

He's practicing his deer grunt 😂

[@shawnkane7152]

Buck snort! It’s natural and way too much work to edit. Nature calls!!

[@frisco94]

So glad Dan posts these videos.....I thought the pheasant hunter was just ignoring the "Howdy".....just to be an a-hole.....but he wasn't. I will handle my next bump exactly the same way.....If they turn into an asshole after hearing a howdy, then it's on them. The woods is a shared resource........don't crawl into a hole.

[@maxiebordeauxjr9529]

Merry Christmas Dan, the pain in your eyes when the Pheasant hunter first walked through was real. Keep grinding.

[@MrJackchap]

This really hit home -people walking under my stand, driving home counting deer all the way.I let this throw me off my game.thanks for sharing and merry Xmas to ya

[@martypopeye8236]

Same here! Hunting a hard area in Michigan with little public and many farms. I feel the pain! Haha Merry Christmas

[@OscarPerez-mn3po]

This Beast episode revealed a Master Po teaching his grasshoppers the art of finessing negative into positive! Thanks for the Dan wisdoms!!!🎅🏼

[@jakemitchell1671]

I need much more of what Dan has. As much as I try, I can't keep those things from bothering me. It doesn't deter me from hunting, but it does put me in a pissy mood, lol. Other hunters bother me, but not NEARLY as much as ATV joy riders. Great video, Dan!

[@timsamson6225]

Come here for some Big Buck learning .leaving with solid life advise. Love your honesty and how you do this differently. Great content

[@kidneystones3406]

Dan you're a tough SOB for hunting in that weather ALOT OF RESPECT. For those of hunters watching Wisconsin is seriously cold right now even walking to your mailbox you get cold. Very few hunters would hunt this weather.

[@Filling_tags]

“ Jake - Jake” I chuckled pretty good 🤣🤣 almost like the “ dan- Dan where are you”

[@timoestreich9544]

The joy of public land

[@laurelhighlandoutdoors3257]

That pheasant hunter out of respect should of not went in there since your truck was there first.I liked how you kept you cool.Merry Christmas Dan

[@thehuntingbeast]

Its a huge area.

[@robertforss8881]

Great advice as always Dan. I agree with you 100% on the stupid holiday hunt.

[@lonnie8643]

Stupid?

[@patflynn3292]

Dan you could not have done that intro any better You sounded like that wise old man than other generations speak of Great stuff man

[@steveadamowski6844]

Thanks for posting video. And the perspective with the trespassing and pheasant hunters. How did that one hunter not see you!!! Lol

[@charlesleblanc6638]

I can feel your pain with the 4wheelers ... Hate em when there just used to f**k around !

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

Honestly, Dan…. You make me feel like we are all on a team. The Beast team! And you’re the head coach! And the motivational speech you just gave throughout this video is exactly what I needed. Truth be told I have had many similar circumstances happen to me this season. In my youth I would get frustrated. But now I just keep rolling with the punches because of talks like this! Merry Xmas to you and yours!

[@chancehutcheson621]

Good comment I agree

[@jacobpiekunko9261]

Awesome video, helping me keep my head up this season too, finally put all the pieces together this year and had my bow break on me on what would have been my first buck. Thanks Mr. Dan and best of luck the rest of the season

[@bradcrook7122]

I’ve had my fair share of trials and tribulations this year too. I first learn from my mishaps to not set myself up for that again, but then I keep grinding. I do carry my mistakes with me for a while, but that’s just how my brain works. You have some great content and a lot of great points that I continue to learn from you, whether I’m in camp with you or not. Keep it up and best of luck to you 🙏🏼😊

[@jeffspeth2722]

Ohhhh, it bothers me but I persevere as well. The purple berries in that "pheasant" spot are dynamite late season and shed hunting. The best of luck to you, and Merry Christmas!

[@shawnkane7152]

Tough season for you Dan, that’s for sure. Learning from your mistakes and owning up to what goes wrong is the way it should be. It doesn’t take much to acknowledge and fix what goes wrong. Kudos on showing what could easily not make the videos.

[@KMT65]

Merry Christmas Dan. Love your videos and always learn something from them, not to mention they are very entertaining. I respect how hard core you are going after big bucks.

[@codywilber6885]

Tht dude slowed behind the trees when he saw you. His body language gave it away

[@kennethsanders2355]

Now there's one guy who ain't feral 😆 didn't even say howdy ?

[@bartgarrett7710]

Smart move on the spacing of your steps ! I had 2 permanent stands and one hanger with climbing sticks i'd use . Was going to my 2 man ladder stand on a morning we were in the negatives here in Indiana . I had so many layers on that i struggled to get up the ladder ! The steps were usually perfect , even being 5'8" . I usually only had my jeans and underwear on under my coveralls . (Carhartt that are warm as hell ! Usually had to unzip the front to keep from sweating on my walk in.) Well i had on underwear , running pants , my Army longjohns and lined jeans . Then my coveralls ... could barely bend my knees so , i had to lean sideways and lift my leg 😂😂

[@dougcassin677]

Trespassers of sorts, small game hunters and/or someone continuously target shooting until sunset, seem to stack up between Christmas and New Year. For some reason these occurances tend to prevelent in northern, sportsman friendly states like WI, MI, PA, NY etc.

[@nickgironda8932]

Wow, Dan, I am so glad to have found your channel! Thank you for your HONEST content! “Almost and not quite” kinda describes most of my bow hunting career 😢 but I love the woods; I love to deer hunt; I love venison… so I keep at it. Age and diminished eyesight got me off the recurve and on the xbow and rifle. I still hunt like an archer tho, always tryin to get close! God Please Bless you and all you do.

[@user-sf3gc8ux6r]

Great Advice Dan love watching thanks man for all the tips

[@LizardKing513]

Great message. It applies to all aspects of life too. One thing I didn’t understand is why would you not like to kill a buck that was pushed to you? On highly pressured land, that would seem the play to make.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Nothing against it... Just for me I like the one on one battle of wits and figuring out the spot I need to be to outsmart him.

[@jeffpops5290]

Love the message in this video. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas Dan

[@outdoorsman9384]

Obviously it can be very disheartening in bublic grounds with all the activities and disturbances but also rewarding when you can capitalize on a biggen.

[@Wiscobowhunt]

This is real life public hunting. The good and bad parts.

[@jeffm.1256]

Dear Santa- please bring Dan a muffler for his truck. It is even louder than it was in the spring turkey videos.

[@ThePlainNsimple]

Great content! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@garrettstraffon608]

Great video Dan. I believe you are motivating a lot of hunters. Including me

[@adamdrouin2295]

Merry Christmas to the entire hunting beast crew and everyone in the comments!

[@knuckledragger2412]

Well, I feel like you were talking right to me. Sometimes I do let the pressure of Michigan discourage me. Hopefully I will think of this the next time doubt creeps into my mind. Merry Christmas yall.

[@martypopeye8236]

Man! So many of us in the same boat especially here in the mitten. Good luck man and Merry Christmas. I was buying minden and it was a crap shoot

[@joec1212]

At 5:03 a barking spider surfaced

[@jlshetler1]

Learned a lot from this video! Thanks Dan !!

[@67lyricman]

I really like your content. Confidence, to me, is the most important ingredient to success. I hope others can see the tremendous value in this video. Merry Christmas.

[@MichaelJ93]

Merry Christmas Dan. You push me to be a better hunter. Thanks for all the insight

[@longstar123]

Merry Christmas Dan and crew, love watching u guys. I am too old to go out much but with u guys its like being out there

[@brokenarrow6491]

Good video. I'd have to go hard after the trespassers that are dumping on the property and all. If you've already talked to them and they are still doing it I would have to get the warden and or police involved.

[@marcmiller7588]

Even with the holiday hunt in Wisconsin I'm glad I can still bow hunt in the counties that are not participating , December is a great time to be in the woods !!!

[@alecnabors2508]

Positive Mental Attitude. Got me though a lot of situations were most men would lose it.

[@jerryscray1789]

One year I was bow hunting 2 people walked past me I was like well this hunt is done. I sat there contemplating where to go next when a 6 point came sneaking up to me from where them guys went i let my arrow fly when he stopped to look back awesome hunt that turned out to be

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

I've learned more in the 4 years of watching you then watching tnn outdoors and 18 years of outdoor channel!!! 2019 lost My lifetime buck 2020 real nice buck got away. Gotta keep swinging keep hunting keep shooting its about the hunt as we know merry Christmas Matt P

[@taylorjackson7908]

Awesome shirt Dan!

[@shanehayes864]

And here I thought it was just me going through similar.

[@chadbinette3201]

The biggest hunting beast secret? Where does Dan get these t-shirts haha. Majority of these videos within the first 30 seconds I notice his t-shirt and usually start laughing.

[@jamesmooney5348]

Right on Dan, your staying positive like in your recent video.... Thanks, encouraging

[@bartgarrett7710]

And Merry Christmas from my family to yours Dan ! ❤️

[@jfreak7589]

Mitch Rompola would have never left the woods before dark.

[@colbykinney5633]

I wounded a really nice public land buck in November and was pretty devastated but thought to myself...what would Dan do?. So picked up my bottom lip and went back to hunting like crazy 😆

[@ronaldbeasley4945]

Didn’t answer ya when ya said howdy. BS he heard ya. Then he acted like he didn’t hear ya at the truck. Wow 😂. Good job keeping your cool Dan

[@Budget.bass.fishing]

Marry Christmas Dan thanks for the video . Was a nice gift .

[@bricehale6593]

That was wild. I got a decent 6pt last day of late gun season my biggest buck

[@jeffboutilier5075]

Cool sweater, cat riding a cheeseburger...makes sense to me!! Hahaha. I'm already planning and scouting for next season.( ours ended Dec 10th) man I wish I could still be out hunting. Good luck with the rest of your season

[@johnstachura7066]

Merry Christmas, Great show Dan. I live in Phillips Wisconsin. Frustrated with grouse hunter's all season. But now I know where they generally go. Had 3 nice bucks on camera all season long. Mostly nocturnal. Persistance and confidence will be the key for January. Thanks for all the knowledge.

[@dnunley423]

Dude was oblivious. Had no idea you were even right there beside him. That’s how people get shot in hunting accidents. It’s crazy

[@underdogoutdoors]

I can survive things I should be able to control, getting out of the house is top of the list.

[@cotontop3]

Dude didn't even know you were in the world and he never heard even you 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️. You shoulda told him he can watch how close he came to the "Beast" and didn't know it 😂

[@dennisst.pierre210]

Love that yu still have the no quit in ya attitude at yr advanced age

[@dougcassin677]

Yup. Small game hunting and deer hunting certainly don't mix. They don't mean to ruin a deer hunt but that's the result.

[@ericbrooks8573]

Dan thanks for the real videos, the ups and downs, and the truth of how much things dont go as planned. Keep pushing through.......

[@-killemquietly]

Good video Dan, nice to see you using Mavens, got mine about 5 yeas ago and compared with swaro side by side, NOT bad for 1/3 the price! how come you don't line Dave's farm up with cell cameras to get that trespasser and get a restraining order on him. That was unsettling he went right under your good stand and the doing donuts around you vehicle. makes me think he's an anti. just screwing with you. The message at the end shows you're a true sportsman and ambassador of the sporting spirit. I really thought that guy was ignoring you when you said howdy and looked in the video like he walked a half circle around your stand. Merry Christmas buddy.

[@thehuntingbeast]

The land owner had the trespasser get served a trespass warning by the sheriff, Next time he gets cited, And I have to think you are correct that the hunter at the end had to see and hear me,

[@talonneal6696]

In my opinion you have some of the best info out there I’ve learned so much by your videos

[@taylorjackson7908]

You gonna miss that insulation Dan!

[@johnharrison8807]

Wearing snow camo late season in a tree stand hides your silouette. I hunted my buddies treestand and he was going to drive deer toward me. When he came to the edge of the woods where he could see the stand. He didn't see me in the tree. He thought there was a balloon in the tree his stand was in. After looking closer with his binoculars there I was sitting in his stand with my orange hat. I literally disappeared in snow camo against the gray blue cloudy winter sky.

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

I’ve taken a few good deer over the years that pheasant hunter had jumped and put them on their feet. I’m a bird hunter too so I understand them being there. I’ve had them walk right under my tree just as that guy did and had deer come on me within a 37:49 few minutes of them doing so. I personally would have stayed. You just never no !! Keep at it Dan I enjoy your channel !! 👍

[@johndyer9232]

I hope that fella got some pheasants after jamming up your hunt. His dog knew you were there even if he didn’t. He knew he jammed up your hunt.

[@danielfetchak1865]

I've had small game hunters screw up my hunts more times than I'd like to remember. It Sucks especially when you have limited time to hunt.

[@Pwrcritter]

Been a tough season here. Warm windy weather followed by rain and cold. Dealing w neighbors putting out tons of corn, and also antihunting ones to hunter harassment. Trying to use this for motivation. Begin the begin.

[@TheFlynnTaggart]

Sucks sharing public land with other types of hunters. The area I hunt I avoid the duck pond areas in the morning even though I’ve seen big sign around them just because I know I’ll be in a tree then 20 minutes before legal shooting light there will be headlamps and laughing and coughing
