Dan I walked a mile out to the perfect spot I’ve been hoping to hunt for over a year and as soon as I got set up I pulled my bow back and the string completely snapped so I walked a mile back and drove home. I was committed to quitting and only gun hunting for the rest of my life, but I am now on my way to an archery shop to get it re-strung because I’m going to get a deer next weekend. Keep at it

[@harrystevenson7098]

That Stinks Man,hold your head up Dan could probably tell us worse stuff like the time he was back in the Swamp and the Flasi lights were going to be dead soon I can't imagine walking in a swamp in the Dark.

[@craufurdgoodwin3835]

“Don’t hunt hard, hunt smart” another one of my mantras. The inclination to “get out there” because the season is open isn’t as strong at my age as I burn out much quicker than I used to. I’m quite content to use the local morning news and reports of the steady increase in deer car collisions and the local hunting forums with their hero pics to determine when the rut is warming up for my area. Just like the bucks I’ll be hunting, I’m ready to rock right now but no sense in burning out stands and burning up hunting mojo until the right signs show start to show up.

[@HuntZoneAmerica]

Believe it or not the more you use the range finder the less you will need it. It becomes natural your mind will " just know" what yardage you are looking at. It strengthens your judgement skills. Good luck with the rest of your season!

So true!! 💯 I used one for 10 years and haven't used one for the last ten.👍👍

[@thomashood3748]

This is why you are number one. Great truth. So honest with yourself and the viewers. We are all human. We have all been and will be again where you are. But it flips back to where all the pieces fall together and a successful harvest. Keep grinding. We all must stay confident. Confidence is the number one deer hunting tactic...Confidence isnt free...but you cant buy it on Amazon nor Bass Pro. Its the price you pay when you keep grinding!

[@evanwhitaker6696]

[@brianmaryinmanitoba9649]

Hi Dan, thanks for showing all your real hunts as they are. Just subscribed, though I've been watching you and The Hunting Public pretty heavily since last year - you're all very gifted hunters and teachers. Been gun-hunting for 5 years, blessed so far with meat in the freezer every year. Last year I started bow hunting and didn't get a real opportunity but had such a good time. This year I missed on 2 really good opportunities (1 nice doe, 1 smaller buck, ground hunts, thankfully complete misses) and now I've lost confidence with the bow for the remainder of this year. My practicing in summer was actually very good but wow I really blew it when it matters. Although I'm discouraged, I've taken note of some lessons learned anyways and this video definitely gives me hope -- bc if the master himself has a bit of a rough go, then a beginner like me shouldn't worry so much hah so THANK YOU!

[@flounderwetspot8524]

Takes a real man to admit that we need practice and SOME of todays tools to make sure we’re doing the responsible thing when letting one fly. I mean flat out you had my respect before, but you most certainly have it now. Keep it up Dan!

[@fishlovme]

Leaving portable stands up and putting salt blocks on the ground that looks like rocks...why must hunters insist on cheating? Thanks for following the rules on wearing orange during the youth hunt. Even though I don't agree with the rule, it's great to see hunters that do follow the rules!

[@fishlovme]

@UtUbBaNsME FuqOff certainly not my intention. Know your hunting grounds and who hunts it. Certainly your own private land you should not have to wear orange while bow hunting! And did you read Dan's comment? I was agreeing with what he said.

[@tomconnole5385]

It's nice to see an honest hunter not using excuses. I know your pain. You'll be back.👍

[@renneroutdoorsunedited4458]

Another great video of showing how real everything really is sometimes, But. You totally got this brotha cuz it ain't no hill for a high stepper. Keep after em Chief

[@LizardKing513]

Dan, my whitetail curse started last year too. Whiffed 3 times. I made a pact with myself of “if it’s brown, it’s down” this year to get the skunk out. So I get three chances at three yearling does, and couldn’t bring myself to shoot them. It’s early still, but that fat girl needs a date soon, and if I’m that guy dragging a doe the size of a German Shepherd out of the woods next weekend, I’ll consider it a sacrificial offering to break the curse.

[@rcagle123]

Thanks for keeping it real. I'm overrun with hunters this year and last. I saw 2 new stands the other day and thought who in the hell sets up like this? A lot of new Hunters I'm guessing.

[@gregsido9235]

Dan,you better be careful shooting your bow with that unruly stach! Your string might catch it and rip it off! Lol 😂

[@landoutdoors860]

only about 2 minutes in, but the public spot I hunt gets a LOT of heavy foot/hiking traffic, horses, bikers.......all year. The deer just stop caring...most of the deer trails run parallel to the human hiking trails, and Ive had deer on one side of me (20-30 yards) and two guys talking while hiking on the other side, about 100 yards away. the deer tend to not care, and know exactly where the human trails are. they can pick someone off coming into a spot, so sneaking in early is a must. Its just the nature of hunting public land.....enjoy it.

[@jerrykegel4556]

Love your Intentions Bro...; however, you have been educating your Local Competitors!

[@brendancavanaugh6118]

Might not be killn monsters but making great videos Dan. Keep shooting and rest will come instinctively. Watching your vids inspired me to go deeper. Shot 1st doe of season. 1.5miles in swamp. That drag almost killed me!

[@davidthompson1529]

Yes...all u PA hunters please stop coming to MD. "Aint no deer down here!" 😉

[@thomashood3748]

If your rangefinder has an automatic declination correction for steep angle, you and your rangefinder are both correct! At steep angles, the rangefinder only tells you the "shoot as" yardage. Could actually be 30 yards away but since steep angle, the arrow shoot be shot " as if" distance was only 25 yards.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Good point

[@whatthebuck99]

In the same boat forsure Dan! Shot a doe within the first couple days of the year and on the first day of first morning one year, for the last 4 years 😂 This year I've been in the vicinity of 3 deer in 3 weeks and I'm getting the itch bad! Not getting down on myself cause I know my abilities and what I've accomplished before but its messing with me this year not getting close like I usually do. Anyhow goodluck, shoot straight out there🎯

Where i live we don't have swamps or marshes, just ridges and more ridges with oaks, it's the WNF where they can bed and just stand up to feed. And this year there are tons of acorns

[@b-d3vil16]

First time out bow hunting I had a 9 & 11 point come out together there 30 yards away and I take a 20 yard shot right under one, went out and bought range finder the next day. Was sick to my stomach for a week and haven’t seen a buck that big while now hunting since.

[@zacharywatson1458]

When using a range finder. Sticks and grass can cause a short reading. If foggy, they won't work.

Looking forward to the next video! Just found your channel and it’s great! You have any videos breaking down how you scout new areas from maps? Been trying to learn my public hunting spot from a arial map. Big swamps, hardwoods, dnr food plots, and yearly logging how I would describe it. Any chance I could send you a map of my area and you break it down show how you would approach it? I hunt mid Michigan.

[@jakemitchell1671]

LOL...I think the Hunting Public guys got Dan hooked up with some free onX. Now every few steps, "Let me check my onX to make sure I'm not to the property line"....."I'll mark this spot on my onX"..."let me check onX for a good place to take a crap." Haha...just kidding, Dan! If you took on 100 endorsements it wouldn't be too many. It's a shame you have to even work a full time job as many people as you've helped over the years with your hunting and channel. Keep up the great work!

[@travisbowers5143]

I find it interesting that when people miss high most you will hear say 'I just missed over his back' . Well if you just missed over this back that means you were about 8" high from anything vital....

[@derekblack1252]

If the finder catches a limb closer to you than your target it will give you a false range. In thicker cover it's harder to range

[@derekblack1252]

I missed two deer last year dan with a riffle after having gone years with no misses. Found that the scope was off later at the range but my pulling shots looms in the back of my mind like your talking about here. Just keep getting it. I like seeing videos that show misses it's more realistic for the average joe hunter. Looking for the mass. Have fun dan

Clearly this was all joe’s fault.

My taste buds do not approve of this video but I'm voting against my taste buds and still giving a thumbs up. On a side note I did see your hunting partner with whom I assume was his wife or girlfriend in Menards a couple of months ago. He should have bought himself some wood to make you guys some swamp skis with all the times I've seen you all sloshing through swamps.

[@hrs4me30]

Not to be a pain, but baiting deer isn't illegal in WI. While it is in certain counties, yes, but some counties still allow it. If you're going to bait, please just abide by the regulations.... OK, I'm off my soapbox. Shoot Straight!

[@Bubakarrr]

I don't think it is in public lands like where the salt lick was

[@hrs4me30]

@@Bubakarrr That is also an incorrect statement. You can bait on some public parcels. I believe Dan hunts in S.Central WI, and if you read the regulations it would be in fact illegal in that area. While I don't bait personally, I just want it to be clear that there is factual information out there. (he had a Caption in his video that "it is illegal in WI to bait for deer"). It's not illegal statewide. dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/hunt/bait.html See attached Map of where Baiting is legal in certain counties and others where it is prohibited. Regardless of Private/Public. I'm not trying to be an Ass*ole or a Keyboard Attorney, just want people to play by the rules.

[@chriskladky5698]

Dan, I would love to hear how you gauge the age of your competition's sign. Just finding other hunters sign from 3-4 years ago isn't clicking with me. I would love to hear your answer.

[@stevensolinko8807]

That "salt block" is a Trophy Rock. Technically probably not considered bait as it is a 100% natural rock.

[@fishlovme]

Anything not natural to the ground is not allowed in Wisconsin in areas of CWD. The only thing legal in CWD areas are food plots. I had a friend of mine busted for using a salt mineral block. Big fine! They are legal in most of northern wisconsin but not the rest of the state where there is CWD. And we can use hunting blinds but they have to be removed at the end of the day. That rule applies to public land only, however any baiting whatsoever is illegal. Some scents would be considered illegal too.

[@fishlovme]

When you say 100 percent natural do you mean that it was there naturally? It might be a natural product but if someone placed it there it's illegal. We're not even allowed to move dead apples on the ground to a pile but if they fall there naturally we can leave them there. So yes, unless that salt rock was there naturally, placed by the glaciers that went thru 10,000 or so years ago it was not legal being there. Sounds crazy, I know, but rules are rules.

[@zacharywatson1458]

What is the deal with the negativity regarding low hanging stands? I hang stands literally chest high in areas because there is not any nice tall trees available. I've shot several deer in super low hanging stands.

Hey Dan, wondering how you’d handle my current predicament. I hung a stand a few months back, the first day I was legally able to in fact, on public land. Returned to my stand recently and found another hunter also liked my spot as he hung his stand 10 yards from mine. Obviously this is a little comical and aggravating at the same time. Like I said, wondering how you’d handle a situation like this

[@thehuntingbeast]

I would take my stand down and leave... I always feel like if I end up in the same spots as other hunters, im probably not picking the right spots.
