I respect this friendship, my friends look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them to go for a walk with me and check out some land. I'm solo everytime. Got my 6 year old to walk 5 miles with me scouting though.

[@ML-ks2lj]

Lol my 6 year old got me to scout 5 hard miles I'm like no man these ravines are to deep for you he's pssshhh and headed right down this 200 foot deep cliff like dude hooold up kid this is dangerous

[@roosterdope6778]

If you’re in Nebraska I’m in lol. All my buddies hunt their dads private lands so no one’s willing to scout public

[@Ebjs]

You have taught me so much about reading beds, and bedding in general

[@Susky62]

I admire your conviction while scouting. When I scout I think to myself... this is what I think will happen. With Dan, it's what he knows will happen. Confidence cannot be bought or sold. Thanks for all the great videos! Lovin my beast sticks by the way!

[@greatlakesgrows]

You guys are always striving to teach and share your knowledge. I am very grateful for mentors like this!!✊🏻 Great content as always ✌🏻

[@acrandell75]

Why I’d want the antler: As a simple reminder.....A reminder of all of the ways your insight has changed my hunting. A reminder to think differently and always stay positive. A reminder that good things do not come easy, and eventually hard work does pay off. A reminder to never give up. This lil antler would always stay in my pack so I had the Dan wisdom with me on every hunt and scouting trip, guiding me properly to make the right decisions. The dual signatures would remind me to appreciate those times shared with great hunting buddies, either family or friends .....you guys are great, honestly your methods/tips/suggestions have changed the way I hunt, also how and when I scout. I’ve learned so much from what you guys have shared in all of the videos you’ve made (I think I’ve seen them all) For all of that....I thank you

[@MrMillertime2003]

Rubbin’ Rick and Dan the Man!

[@williamstephens2724]

Hey Dan! Just wanted you to know that I believe you have it figured out. Over the years you have taught me many things about deer and their habits. I have to admit, your rarely wrong when it comes to one with a nice rack on his head. I appreciate you being real and true to hunting. Keep it up man! I am 44 and still learn something I can take to the woods to help, every time I watch. Thanks for the good information and the help to close some great bow kills in Virginia and Tennessee.

[@boomerrangerron]

Nice video and instructive dialogue! I tend to hunt very near a very old damaged deer stand and it’s my best stand site! 😎🎯

Thanks y’all for always providing helpful information. I love the shirt Dan💪🏼👊🏼💥🇺🇸‼️ Thanks also for making it fun and making me laugh. You guys Rock‼️ 🦌

If Dan is the Big Buck Serial Killer, that must mean Rick commits misdemeanors against two-year olds.😁 Much love Rick, good meeting you at the workshop in late Feb.

About damn time dan!! Been waiting for another class session 🤣 always great content 🍻🦌

[@jakesmith6337]

The big rub with two scratch marks is obviously from the 2 point shed you guys found 😂

[@justinconrad5283]

Dan, if you would man up and get a saddle you could get more than 3 feet off the ground! Hahaha jk. Videos are always educational. You have taught me alot.

[@stevepalmateer]

Beaver's will make those cuts in the banks of stream adjacent to alders. See it all the time at my Uncle's farm. See it all the time on my property further North. Not saying the deer won't use them, but if there's no deer tracks in 'em, they're definitely made by beavers.

[@garrett95]

I’m pretty sure Dan is gonna put Rick in the spot where the giant shed was found😂 That a real beast tactic!

[@rickkimball4498]

I'm fine with that, not only small ones go though there.

Great episode, going through the archives and learning more everyday. Thanks, For everything you guys do. I think that antler of Rick's was probably made in China as well haha

[@joehorton01]

You guys think alot about how bucks are moving through the woods. I need to start doing that more. I had an epiphany last season when thinking more of the big picture but now i need to dial the fine details. Thanks for toting rick around and teaching us how to hunt. Jk rick is the man

[@SPIKESLAYER1]

Always learn something watching your videos. Seems so easy when you comment on sign and what it means. I go out, find sign and look around and am usually like ok - what does it all mean ?? Not so easy to put it all together and form a plan but your videos sure help !

[@RobKingRC]

That shirt is Epic!!!!

[@shawnelwood3505]

Rick in the thick and Dan in the stand will show us how a 2 point shed = a big buck dead!

[@jasonsilos6480]

Going to hunt an area in Northern Michigan public land exactly like this after opening day of firearm 2022. We’ll see if Dan’s advice helps. Thanks for all your videos.

As always, I like the video but love Dan's shirt!

Rick I have some extra band aids , following dan through the swamp thickets on a deer scouting trip must be like following a billy goat through a standing corn field that thinks that every stalk is a beautiful nanny goat , ha ha ha he he ha ha , oh yeah , I got some beer goggles too.

Dan, if you hunt this... and create a video.. tie it back to this scouting... it helps me put it all together.. good stuff

[@joemaultsby7611]

With the size buck that shed came off of, my bet is he’s the one that destroyed the tent and left the bones of the hunter behind. Hell, he was probably the one that tore the treestand down. Nice jawbone😉

That is hilarious man! 🤣 I dont know if anyone would get it thats not from Michigan. Just need to throw Rompola in the mix. Rompola would kill a giant in there without scouting.

"I'll rub one in the thick, I'll rub one in the hills, I'll rub one in the swamp, my rack gives you chills. I'll lick one high and I'll scrape one low, I'll do it in the fall and I'll do it in the snow. I'll give you fits wondering just where I'll go, I'll make you shake when you draw back your bow. You'll pray and you'll hope just to see me, I'll make you sweat and weak in the knee. You'll do what you can to find what I please, Good luck, I'm just a big buck who simply loves trees!"

[@michaelpawlitz3109]

Don’t worry Rick, it’s not all about the size of the shed, what’s most important is how you use it! I’m sure there will be plenty of trees out there for you to rub on that’ll make you feel like a big buck

[@geyeroutdoors6192]

Time for a belt Dan. Moon was out!

[@aaronkorsmo]

Rick size? Didn't Rick knock out that buck you were chasing? Lol just messing around. Thanks for the video.

[@Cummins-]

When is the Rick size shirt coming 😮

[@Huntoutdoors1]

"Bucks" never "Duck" a "Beaver" but Dan and Rick will always dangle in the wind over the Wet Spot with hair in it . !!

[@JoshAndersonHunting]

Do you guys believe there are thermal hubs in this type of country? I'm hunting an area like this and think that several small dry creeks that are just a bit lower than the rest of the flat land, coming together, might actually be a thermal hub. That subject is new to me, and I'm trying to figure out how to approach it. I believe some big deer are catching my wind in there, as I hunt just outside of it. I've never had my wind blow directly in it, but I think it's possible the cross winds and dropping thermals sometimes end up in there as bucks pass through it on their way out for the evenings. Thoughts anyone?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Quite possible that you found a spot with funky thermals. Terrain shape, water, etc... can all play havoc with thermals and wind currents. But a thermal hub from my definition is a deep ravine usually in hill country with draws coming in from several directions.

[@JoshAndersonHunting]

Wow, thank you very much for replying! I understand, and that kind of drove it home.@@thehuntingbeast

[@mudlakeoutdoors2497]

A couple times during the video I thought you were trying to sell crack....

[@normaneastman6889]

Smoking during season is absolutely a big no no. But do you guys like to take a scouting break way out in nature during off season?

[@nickvargo6124]

You know Dan is giving Rick trouble about the small antler. But at least Rick is hitting the deer he shoots, Rick didn't have videos about how he was lacking confidence in his shooting... Keep your head up Ricker you killed that monster dont let Danny boy pick on you!!!!

[@robertdeis132]

What's the connection with beavers and bucks?

[@justintanner7020]

Dan did you kill your Buck last year in this place or is this where you busted the buck in the shoulder the year before? Have you been back to this spot?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Where I hit the buck in the shoulder, and last years kill were on the same property, which was not this one, but one very simalar.

[@codyhughes8530]

You better go back and find the other side. That would make the perfect “Rick Rattlin Rack.”

[@truebuckhunters1170]

[@Thoms13ss]

Would like to know more about why beaver sign means there are bucks in the aera. Is it the water?

[@MountainMassOutDoors]

I found a spot like that not alot of sign but was thick and i thought deer gotta hide in here during season( well i found out why the next year)…. Ever other day there was a group of Amish that pushed it … litterly ever other day

[@davetackett8126]

Great way to alert deer to your presence, put your hands all over the trees they rub on, that scent will stay there for at least a week, hope your right about wnen the trail is getting used.

[@nicholasorlando769]

Tell Ricky needs to take camera lessons because he does not point out or show all of the things that Dan talks about including rubs and scrapes. I think he is a good guy but he needs to speak up when he is saying stuff because he mumbles behind the camera. Tell Ricky to brighten this New Year’s up by killing a bigger buck than Dan. PS I’ve always wantedRicky’s signature on a white tail antler Hah Hah Hah keep the good work up I would like to see more of these videos you’re doing a awesome job dan, you have taught me a lot!

[@rickkimball4498]

Thanks for letting me know I will work on it!

[@davidpaape8786]

I'm curious if Rick needed to know how big that antler looked on a deer so Dan had to pose rubbing that tree so he could make sure it was as big as he thought. 😁

[@talktolee]

Dude you need to make that a shirt..."I could put 4 fingers in that!"

[@LightEmUpOutdoors]

pretty cool video here. In North Mississippi we have a ton of lowlands such as this and its refreshing to see that big bucks do utilize those areas. My question here would be what if these low areas have been flooded all summer long? Will the deer utilize this area the same way once water level has dropped or find elsewhere to bed?

[@thehuntingbeast]

They still bed in those low once flooded areas, but generally its tougher than the spots where they can use the same beds year after year without wash out.

[@RollinKoal01]

Thanks Dan! As for antler: “ Rick is a Dick, Your shed is Small, as for your knowledge you teach us all”

[@ronalexander4390]

I allways worry about finding human remains in isolated areas. My buddy found one, he thought he saw a deer scull in the muck, pulled it out and it was a human scull!. He said the smell was on his hand for a couple days. Creepy!!

That water was spring fed and moving, not sure how it will react in dead calm, depends on water temp. I think swirls in the huntable opening may be a bigger issue.
