[@Cloud4hundred20]

Me too

[@markm.3101]

Your story telling put me right in the woods with you!

[@beasonxiong4806]

More videos like these!!! You have such an interesting personal history with your wall of mounts, I think its important to share their stories. Thanks HB staff!

[@huntintime2268]

When Dan speaks, people listen.👍👍👍

[@HabitatPodcast]

Never gets old! great buck and story Dan

[@CH-ql1hw]

Definitely my mentor when it comes to deer hunting..I like your shirt too!

[@bobbygreen2291]

That’s a buck of a lifetime Dan and I’ve never even seen one close to that big.

[@unclemoe5733]

Dan, thanks for all the knowledge you share with us. You truly know your $#!+ about hunting. Been learning from you for about a year now. Great story telling also.

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

What I great deer! Can’t wait to see you and John Eberhart at the same basecamp in the public land challenge! Lol

[@kylepatton4165]

When Dan says you gotta do what you gotta do,

[@WildTexasOutdoors]

That was an awesome story! Great reminder about getting in close to their beds too!

[@robertjagow8761]

Hey buddy. Another great story/lesson of how it’s done.. So,, more to my story of how I became a bow hunter for the first time this year.. Last morning of rifle season 2016, my first hunt in over 15 years.. Not a clue about the land I’m hunting or what might be out there. I chose to take the furthest spot around the corn and not a stand to be found. Thought it was polite to take the long walk when looking at a map at camp when we were deciding who goes where.., took a little tripod chair and sat behind a downed tree as the sun broke over the far ridge.. Seen two young bucks not legal to take down hill and they ran off around a south ridge.. I told myself, if nothing else moves in 30min I’m walking further down so I can see where they came from.. 30min later and about 20steps threw crunchy, frosty leaves, BIG antlers pushed threw the brush strait Down and to the east of me.. (BIG)., Much longer, but exciting story to tell how I got him but chased his ass down a steep ridge to the creek where he made it half way across, but me and two more guys had to drag him up the 10’ far bank a hour after they finally got where I was.. He’s a 20 1/4” spread 9point.. Maybe not world class deer, but damn sure somthin special for a guy just trying to stay out the way and get back in the hunt., maybe learn somthin to teach his step sons.. LUCKY GUY? Absolutely fair to say.. A few special souls in the great beyond making sure I found the guidance and path me and a couple deserving young step sons needed? Maybe!! Just maybe a small miracle!! He’s pretty big tho!😉 Changed my whole life, and started our new passion together from one amazing deer.. We’ve enjoyed every weekend in the woods together since. Seen many deer, and will celebrate a doe..

[@thehuntingbeast]

Awesome story Robert!

That was awesome Dan thanks for sharing!

Dan the man! Your boy looked half dead when you walked up on him lol

[@sctsct100]

Way to go Dan! After watching your vid's through the summer cause I'm a newer subscriber I'll be approaching my hunting area with a whole different perspective, thanks man for your insight!! I think your title should be "Professor Hunting Beast" or just "Professor Beast"! Take care and be safe!

[@mikefeaster8827]

Thanks for sharing Dan!! Your videos are great.

[@-killemquietly]

Wow, that sucker dwarfed that sled at the end. Great vid!

[@GARRETT-FAB]

You have very good story delivery.

[@tennesseedakota]

Not here to say 1 or 2 because I know you don't give a crap about that kind of stuff. Your videos have helped me a ton and helped me kill my velvet buck this year!

[@briancharles8392]

I'm a new comer to your channel.. I am truly amazed at your knowledge and instinct for killing giant whitetail bucks.

[@haroldcallahan4887]

I hunted public upstate NY property and it was like going to a rock concert. Guys with flashlights directing traffic in the parking area- guys crawling all over the woods - Opening day shots sounding off all over - I can't believe the first day of the Iraq war had more shots

[@samshepherd9252]

Keep the deer hunting stories enjoy them!

[@jamielukas100]

Wow! Nice buck for sure.

[@robgrubb420]

THANKS FOR SHARING! you rock dan.

[@roymcdavid1015]

Nice buck Dan. Good luck in the public land challenge . I'm sure ya'll will do good this year again.

[@conflict7269]

I still read the book every once in a while

[@cvongall66]

Nice buck. Let me rephrase. That's an awesome buck. Well earned. Wonder how many guys were still chasing him long after you got him. That buck has a few offspring and they are up and comers by now I'm sure. Apples don't fall too far from the tree. Go get em

[@paulwakefield5255]

Awesome story!

[@j.r.w6623]

Good pics in my whitetail tactics book

[@redwolfmedia1276]

Awesome Buck! That'd been cool to see on vid but oh well filming can be a hassle! I bet everyone around was greened up with envy! Well They can look at it this way atleast the guy's hunt'n that night probably helped ya! I had a similar situation,Where I got an opportunity at about a 160's Buck about 150 yds. away from the most popular hunting spot in that piece of Public! There was only one Maple tree in the center of this open area and he was bedded about 50 ft. from it and 100 ft. from the edge everyone entered at with the wind at his back! I just happened to go in to scout/Hunt through the opposite fencerow that had a point that came off towards the middle of this open area. As i came up on this Oak Flat Point on the front edge found a couple blown out Saplings about 7-8 inch in diameter! He shredded them so i knew I was onto something. Guess where I'm gonna hang&hunt around Halloween! Thanks for affirming my style of Hunting Dan! I was kinda losing confidence because everyone said I should do it different but Lo & Behold I was hunting like a Beast and didn't know it! Now I just need to polish it up and start killing some big bucks!

Awesome buck congrats

[@williamlittle2814]

Your story confirms that I could not hint public...if there were that many people in the woods...I wouldnt hunt there. Competition if for sporting events not hunting. Nice deer. Definitely a shooter. A lot of people gonna be mad about you walkin past then killing the big bruiser.

[@landrenduckett3006]

Hell of a deer Dan

As barbaric as it sounds to fill a deer with arrows, it’s actually way more humane. Whatever kills them quickest.

[@chuckdriver3677]

Shoulda named him “the pin cushion buck”,

[@HaveBowWillTravel]

Where do you get these t shirts??

[@andrewlafontaine9525]

Do you just drag them by hand out of the woods? I challenge myself to hunt the further tougher areas and sometimes I wonder how would I get it out.

[@thehuntingbeast]

In a sled works well... But occasionally you get one so heavy, like last years buck that you have to get help or pack it out.

[@johnnycardenas3508]

Fuckin bad ass !

[@thebigbuckslayerr579]

You mentioned the rubs from the buck crossing the road. I found a rub line where I assume a buck is crossing the road what do you think the chances are a buck will cross the road in day light ??? I think it's very slim just want to confirm that .

[@thehuntingbeast]

Depends on the road, and the amount of use. But for the most part, I agree, most of the time they dont cross roads in daylight.

[@dennybirchfield]

These older pictures you look like Tommy Skeoch from Tesla

[@scottbolton2241]

Great Buck Dan...did y'all ever weigh him ?? Big body !!

[@rodneygilbert5183]

Is it legal to spot light in Wisconsin. Is that woodsman ship? Guess trail cams are spotlighting.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Legal, ethical, and family friendly.

[@davekamalas2537]

The problem is that other hunters encroach in any area that where there's a big buck turns them nocturnal how do you deal with that ??

[@thehuntingbeast]

Just like I did in the video Dave.... I move right up to the bedding area and kill them where they do move in daylight. I shot that buck 75 yards from his bed at closing time. 100 yards would of been to far away. You gotta get up close.

[@yogibear6271]

The Hunting Beast you feeling alittle under the weather? does your phone number end with a six ? If so would you allow me to text you some pictures of the little bucks i've gotten over the years nothing like yours but pretty good for around here.

The Hunting Beast ok man thanks

[@kennytroyer3366]

@@thehuntingbeast if you bump a few smaller bucks bedding close to the big buck your after do you not hunt that spot? If you do, does he stay bedded until way after legal shooting time?......or does he slip out the back door close to quitting time and you can't pull off a shot cuz he is just out of bow range?......thanks in advance.

[@79TEOG]

What was his score? 155-160?

The public land the buck was killed and seen on was in Rome WI and there were a lot of people in the town of Rome after this buck for a 2 year period. I magazine writer who did a story about the buck named it the Rome legend.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

Booner down? That's about 160" buck. Have you ever even killed a Boone and Crockett buck?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Sure looked like a booner... But yes, it grossed 165 and netted barely over 160. I have a couple "gross" booners, but have yet to kill a net one, and really never will, cause they are really only a booner if you put them in the books, and none of mine in the future will ever be entered in the books. Just not why I hunt.
