Living on the edge... A week in the swamp with Dan

"Buy this new wader on Amazon : amzn.to/2FUuUZH
Get it from TideWe official website : bit.ly/32WGEUc"

[@ashtanga2000]

I feel my relationship with Dan's mustache has reached a new level.

[@mikeguy9668]

That don't sound right

[@mrd4865]

Please remind Mr. President to only drain the swamp in DC, we need the swamps on public lands to keep most hunters away from the big bucks.

[@cooperwill2404]

a+ for most creative comment

[@matthewwichtner2935]

Completely agree with the edge factor. I don't think it matters if it's swamp, hardwoods, hilly terrain, flat land or whatever. The cover that it offers is unmatched. For the deer. Probably, I'll get beat up over this, 90% of guys don't want to hunt the thick stuff. Because it's so much harder. But, both are the truth. Another good vid, thank you.

[@wildturkey8752]

Yep, Jewelweed. The seed pods explode if rubbed against and shoot the seeds everywhere. The sap can be used to dry up poison ivy rash.

[@deanwells8322]

Thanks guys really like your videos. Mississippi Swamp Daddy!!

[@seregill13]

Dan gives the best mustache rides.

[@benjicooper4738]

I live on the edge every week waiting on a new video from the hunting BEAST LOL 😆 👍

[@OutdoorAddiction]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge over the years dan, you’ve complete changed the way I hunt. Good luck this season!

[@jonathanbalfe9412]

Really like that the video was "real" in the sense that not every hunting trip results in a mature deer. Might even like these...learning videos better. Thanks for sharing.

[@kennytroyer3366]

Love these videos Dan! Keep them coming! I love how you explain your setups and tactics. Cant wait for the next one!

[@curtisfrederick9819]

The ending made the whole video worth watching!

[@greiner7414]

The helium balloon clip was perfect :D

[@toddperry9352]

Hi Dan it's Julip .Orange flowers and early season deer candy

[@myronlaidler8034]

That semi succulent orange flower is named "Jewel Weed" Dan and deer do love it!!!!!

[@aye-aye-roncoolatta3195]

That plant looks like jewel weed Dan. Great video, can't wait to see what the season brings!

[@knuckledragger2412]

That last part is hilarious

[@aplamantia]

Great stuff, as usual, Dan. Got my Beast Sticks ready today for PA opener next weekend. Godspeed. #huntlikeabeast

[@nelson8527]

Another awesome video, thanks for teaching us the beast way, and taking us along with you on your hunts.

[@brianmodrich1640]

Love these videos that show the reality of public land big buck hunting

[@houndjr40]

The end was hilarious! Now I know why he promised to drain the swamp 👍

[@bobbygreen2291]

We call that plant with the orange flowers , touch me nots , here in nc , if your gut a deer at a spot one season you can go back the next year and where you gutted the deer will be a thick spot of those plants. If you catch it right in early September that plant will have seed pods on it that will pop open and scatter seeds with a touch of your finger

[@SamkoTradBow]

Great video as always! Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@jackboyer1907]

Always love your videos dan salute an good luck this year watchin u has taught me alot

[@kingdr111]

Tidewe is absolutely some of the best gear you can buy for the money. Thanks for introducing them to me last year!

[@jhort100]

Dan, thanks for the content! I have been able to improve my tactics from watching your videos. Good luck this season.

[@BenDownTooLong]

I love the helium balloon big buck bedding correlation

[@tylergoralski8728]

but he didn't say anything, Perfect

[@christopherd7922]

Ever since I saw that in one of his videos recently it makes so much sense now. The other day I found three balloons within a 20 yards radius and was like hmmmm. I had just set a cell camera up about 50 yards away from that over a mock scrape that I made. My buddy called me today and said you won’t believe it the big buck that we have pictures of just bedded under the holy tree beside the scrape. Pretty cool. I’m learning so much from Dan his videos are excellent

[@greiner7414]

@@christopherd7922 I make it a point to look for Helium balloons in the woods! Id love to see a wind analysis on 10 different balloon landing spots.

[@huntinghomesteading8774]

Just bought myself a pair of Tidwe waders! Arrive Wednesday can’t wait to try them.

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

Love the video content and trump hat at end.

[@nicholasdecarlo8296]

One of your best and most informative video for me yet.

[@brandonpatterson5705]

Dan I've spent this entire summer learning from you hoping to apply it in November in Missouri :)

[@jimpowers2047]

take binoculars with you😁

[@huntfishandgrow4140]

Did you get one

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

One of the single best videos ever!!!

[@brianbarnes8972]

Excellent video. Always informative

[@superpoacher6711]

Next episode should be about that stash!! Holy shit!! Thats something to behold!!👍🏻

[@livingwithdamron5986]

I love these videos. I could watch a 7 hour episode haha

[@joshrowe2275]

Epic ending!!!! Drain the swamp!!

[@jalton9416]

Very good series of videos. I love the raw video recording.

[@mikesimmons8787]

Awesome video!..great ending. I love hunting the edge after learing what i learned from ya!!

[@kenscicluna5814]

Really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to following along this year

[@davidjoy1846]

Jewelweed. Call it touch-me-nots here in the mountains. Touch the seed pods and they explode. Also grows next to poison ivy and makes a fine cure for it.

[@Dougarrowhead]

Someone else left the same comment almost word for word.

[@MarkDohring]

Squirrel hunter are out in full force .. so many of them ... crazy

[@woodsdog7849]

Always great stuff Dan!!! Love it. MAGA, KAG,!!!

[@mattlonon9947]

I like Dan but I do have some resentment. I am jealous of his mustache.

[@flytrueproductions1018]

Every time im walking through a swamp I think of Dan.

[@southernway8132]

The balloon 🎈 look 🤣 let me see a balloon I’m setting up on it!!

[@dougcassin677]

The common name is Jewelweed. Also called Touch- Me- Not. Roll the orange flowers in your fingers and it ejects seeds. Grows in rich wets soil along marshes and stream bottoms. Yeah, the deer love it.

[@MexicanMovie]

thanks again for the good info !!!!

[@danniebuckner7565]

Hey Dan. I really enjoy watching your vids and just how you have to hunt where you are. I just watched the latest video and you asked about the weed with the little orange bloom in them. We call them( Touch me not.s ) here in ky. They have a little seed pod at some point that if you pinch it with your fingers it will pop open. The pod is clear and long instead of being rounded. Keep up the good hunting and best of luck this season.

[@kennygibson1164]

Great video Dan,

[@alvinnaquin877]

Outdoors should be fun thanks Dan

[@robertfrick6916]

Pretty sure that plant is called jewel weed. It likes shaded, damp areas. Pretty flowers. And yeah, deer eat it up! Supposedly you can use the sap to relieve poison ivy itch.

[@andrewhudak2855]

Plant is jewel weed. Deer love browsing it in late summer early fall.

[@j.r.w6623]

Love these vids dan keep em coming

[@pjmctaggart3784]

SOS!! I need a pair of boots lol I’m hunting in my work boots sure with grocery bags they’re “water proof”🤨 anyway beast I really appreciate every video you make I’ve learned a lot from you and ur crew. Hunting is life for me and you give me something to do while painting at work just waiting to get out to the woods lmao

[@PaulMooneyOutdoors]

Love the ending!!

[@cammoammooutdooradventures5910]

Saw two does tonight walked right under my stand. Unfortunately i dont have doe tag for the county i was hunting in windy day but i knew it was gonna calm down at dark. They were eating acorns if inhad doe tag for this county doe tag would have been filled. Saw a turkey to. Love the show dan.

[@hunterbreaux1463]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="108">1:48</a>, he stepped into a soft spot. I'd like to take this moment to educate some who are wanting to walk in swamp/marsh. Note the small green grass. Often times in the marsh/swamp, these little grasses grow in soft mud. I dont know the name, but you will sink. Avoid if possible. Over time you will learn which vegetation is a safe bet or not. Credentials: 20 years of hunting south Louisiana swamps and marshes. You tend to pick up a thing or two 😆

[@gregmulfort9577]

I totally agree about hunting the edge. But it's not always that simple. I've heard you talk about hunting in areas with a ton of oaks that it's hard because then the deer can be anywhere. I feel like that all the time with edge. We don't have vast swamps or vast woods, or vast anything. It seems like it's always transitioning to something else. Very few big blocks of woods. We have probably six different types of swamp and the typical northern MN woods with popple bitch maple mix, every once in a while some burr oak. And lots of swamps woven in everywhere. Tamarack spruce alder cattails and everything else. I know there's better edge habitat than others and scouting helps figure that out.. but there's so much edge, it is never ending, I have been scouting pretty hard for years and I feel like for every one place I scout I think of two more areas to look at. They can be in so many places. I'm not a master hunter but I am trying and the beast channel has accelerated my drive, definitely. Serial killer is the goat in my book. Overwhelming amount of edge though.

[@bodiddley7404]

I love my climber, but I converted after listening to your videos. I missed out on multiple opps, because I wasn’t in the tree I needed to be. No question about it, like you said, there will one tree you need to be in, maybe two if your lucky.

[@dywildatheart]

Dan, I have listened to you and watched and learned and plan to try to apply this fall. Thanks for your teaching skills. I really appreciate it.That Trump edition at the end made my day!!!

[@mikemehevic5292]

That stache is getting gnarly

[@algratton512]

This is one of your best ones I love it

[@erics8405]

Love the ending lol

[@hawknives]

I saw Bigfoot.......I swear he was carrying a bow!

[@_jurist]

It gives me hope, to know, that the big buck serial killers first week in the woods wasn’t any better than mine.

[@HuntingPhenes]

Epic ending 😂

[@bobbygolden8322]

Great Video!

[@michaelblocher3007]

Man I have a stand with those plants all around it and same thing they are just mowed right down!!

[@stevestarkey6183]

yea here in wv they walk marshes and creek edges chewing on it til it dies around middle of October here.or til whiteoak acorns drop then you'll see alot of does on it the bucks will head up higher towards the acorns. cause usually where jewel weed grows, around here, its lower around roads n human activity

[@chasingdinner]

Ya convinced me to try the TideWe boots. Glad I did. Really like’em. But I’m starting to think you should buy boots based more on how easily they dry out...

[@joec1212]

Dan the man!

[@timber4896]

I heard it through the grapevine that you can’t pick up the grapevine with a expandable.

[@seanbarrett657]

That plant is jewel weed. Great for poison ivy too

[@richarddean3154]

I was in the Infantry in the Army - I hate swamps. The moment that I hear that boot-sucking noise - I get twitchy

[@dustinhoffman9843]

Always love the scenery and wisdom in your videos brotha. This was another awesome one sure nuff. So whether you're in hill country or farm country what constitutes better bedding from one thicket over another. Is it more important to have that layered type of transition like at the end of this video ?, or is it maybe better to have a bigger area thats dense and thick so they have maybe a few more options for wind based beds ?

[@Zdobbins365]

We have those orange flowers all over in Southern Michigan also. I think there orange jewel weed.

[@DfI8587]

Looks kinda like honeysuckle can be orange, pink, white and yellow in color. Deer love that early season in PA but being swampy it’s probably jewelweed.

[@harrystevenson7098]

Interesting Dan always learning from your Beast style hunting LoL.

[@timschoenborn2209]

Dan thanks for all you have taught us, every it i watch a video or listen to a podcast I learn something new. This video is anot example. Around the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="465">7:45</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="475">7:55</a> mark in the video you show this matted down grass and broken branches is that matted down grass another example of a scrape? I'm new to learning deer sign and how to read it thanks

[@SSMan-jo6tf]

I’m sure everyone on here feels the same but I know a public land area here in Ohio that I’d love to see Dans take on it and how he would choose to hunt it. I know there are big bucks in there I just can’t seem to seal the deal.

[@paulwakefield5255]

First 60 seconds so good.

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

Happy new season

[@donhawkins8366]

When there’s several hunters at one spot I just hunt 50 to 100 yards of the road had have had pretty good luck

[@benjamindurtka]

Keep'em coming

[@driftlesswild1631]

Jewel weed can be used to treat nettle stings and bug bites too.

[@joehorton01]

We had a cold front blow in this afternoon in OK. 4 days before season opens. Wtf? Always good to get a beast video though

[@brandonbaldwin7916]

I want those waders

[@dennisbettencourt1213]

Ha ha love the ending

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

Definitely not saying you are doing it wrong, but I never would have thought someone killing big bucks would be waving their hands and arms around up in the stand as much as you do lol! Probably helps when you know what you’re doing haha

[@thehuntingbeast]

When the deer are buried in 8 hoot cattails they aint seeing you. Every spot is different, and every place you go has to be treated different... If Im not getting busted and deer are getting out of beds 20 yards from my stand, I think Im doing something right... Peace brother.

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

The Hunting Beast hell yea! I’m going to be taking your advice this year. I have definitely learned a lot! Thanks for the advice!

[@thedeerguys8831]

always good stuff

[@austinv9607]

Now add alligators and water moccasins then it looks just like what I hunt for deer half the size lol some luck I got

[@PhotoBob]

Define edge? Great show!

[@toddcannon5999]

It looks you were in a dead ash tree, killed by Emerald Ash borer (I can see the exit holes in your one camera shot). They are extremely dangerous since they dry out very quickly and many times uproot or breakoff within 2 years of infestation. I am a professional Forester, you will not catch me climbing any ash trees dead or alive. Several professional tree trimmers have died because they underestimated the rate of decay in ash trees killed by these insects.

[@donhawkins8366]

Thanks for that information good luck hunting have a great year

[@tomellendorf7236]

Grapes!

[@stevensolinko8807]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2236">37:16</a> I think that plant is Jewelweed.

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

yep. helps with Poison ivy .

[@rons1210]

Plant looks like jewel weed. One of the best natural poison ivy remedies

[@joeandbeaucooley4151]

I wish I could walk in the swamps like that here in Florida. Between the water moccasins and gators. No thanks.

[@romeisburning6739]

Snake gaiters and a handgun.

[@mikehancho3500]

Just like duck hunters during deer season

[@michaelfryeii8466]

Dan the man always hunting hard me to i found a new spot man think it's a rut spot .

[@leegray7512]

So what’s your take on South GA hunting in swamps? Our 2k lease is all pines with the exception of the mass amount of swamps (swamp heads as some will call them.) We do have many large bucks but mostly at night. I’ve read that most hang out in the swamps during the day but at night they come out. Also, the swamps flood a lot.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Hunt the transitions...

[@zachschultz3534]

Good ole gun shots during bow season , In michigan we call that the “native season”
