Dan is the best hunting personality in the industry. I can't watch anyone else since discovering the Beast way of hunting 5 years ago

[@TS1023TS]

I agree. I do watch Jeff Sturgis, THP, and Seek One also. They are good too.

[@justintanner7020]

Agreed Dan is a one of a kind in the industry! He really paved the way for the newer generation!

[@TS1023TS]

Oh yeah, Jeff is great. I don’t have properties to do food plots and manage land like him, but in season I watch all his videos with tips of where and when to hunt. Agreed.

[@TS1023TS]

@@mknight6556 haha sorry I just saw all this. All good! I just think his in season advice and focusing on hunting cold fronts and mornings near bedding once pre rut has really enabled me to see more deer and I’ve killed bucks and have had success with doing that, which I learned from him. I agree on some of the other stuff. Where I hunt I have to be more aggressive and Dan’s tactics work better.

[@kyledexheimer6548]

If you are wondering why the raccoons are disabling your trail cams, now you know. Dan's hired an army.

[@Mattpinter81]

Good video Dan! The raccoons sounds like gremlins lol.. it has been a great ride watching all the hunts on Dave’s farm . Excited to see what new adventures come with the time that is now free from not having the farm to hunt.

[@Schubox62]

Keep on keepin on, Dan. Will look for you in the swamps.

[@davidvankainen6711]

This is the beast at his best--field trip analysis on the fly vs. planned whiteboard topic in the classroom! Racoons, however... ewe.

[@johndenver5029]

One small step for Dan One giant leap for Dan- kind

[@cyclejockey4397]

Those farm memories with Dave will be with you forever in your ❤️ Dan !

[@zacharyporter6500]

Awesome video Dan! Sorry to here about Dave’s farm that’s a tough thing to deal with. Good luck this season! Look forward to the next video!!! Thanks for the content!!!

[@ericbrooks8573]

No one, but no one gives the info like the Beast....and it all comes down to off-season work. Go get 'em.....

[@dogfartskill]

Always hard losing a dear friend. I'm sure the extra work you put into Dave's land was a way to honor and keep that brotherhood alive for you Dan. I"m sincerely sorry for your loss, but know your brother is with you on every scout, and hunt with you everywhere you go!

[@americanagothic7851]

You got a whole bucket full of m&m cookies you might find me out there with the raccoons 😁

[@ctail18]

Dan reminds me of that "crazy uncle". Love it

[@darkobegic]

Sorry Dan, i really feel for you. I know its too late but we should have started a gofundme page.

[@charlesevansmusic3]

Poignant ending to a great video- sorry for your loss. Like life itself, it is about the process....

[@davetoms63]

Dang Dan, sorry I know that place has a lot of memories for you

[@ChristopherLaky]

Sorry to hear about Dave's farm. Can't wait to see what's in store for the future!

[@Chad_Rusher]

When u was crossing the creek I was having flash back from that deer drive video u had were your buddy fell of the log it was alot colder then lol guarantee u there would have been serous shrinkage that day 😂

[@wamby211]

Sorry to hear about Dave’s farm. It really sucks when that happens.

[@stevejones6159]

I should finish the video before I comment.. hopefully the new owner lets you hunt always worth the try... Thank God for animals, those snarling raccoons are so cute..

[@gabrielwitte1]

Dan been adopting your style here in NC. I recently purchased half a mountain and am trying to figure it out a year and a half later. Thanks for the help. I did take my first buck last fall off the land. Having private to mix in is nice and I feel your loss. Seems like you have some good hunting buddies now to make new memories. If you want to try the mountains of NC let me know. Your videos got me out of my Michigan roots of sitting on a corn pile. Keep it up looking forward to your next adventure.

[@houndjr40]

I'm sorry the farm is gone Dan. I'll miss seeing you hunt it.

[@johnbehr5785]

Sorry to hear about Dave's Farm, Dave will follow you wherever you go Dan. Get you another one!

[@stevejones6159]

Great Beast video!! I love seeing your improvements on Dave's land, what a tribute! God willing you will get a monster there this year...love the racoon's! And muddy feet...hunting takes serious work and passion...thanks for sharing

[@wyattsullivan8345]

Sorry to hear that Dan… I can about imagine the memories you’ve made on that farm 🦌

[@michaelpennell6344]

It's happened to me too Dan. I lost a family property that we took a ton of deer from. It is a really hard pill to swallow but adapt and move on with those great memories. I'm sure your still gonna have a fantastic 2023 season.

[@audramatney1148]

Great video Dan keep them coming 👍

[@jeffpops5290]

Video Idea: review favorite deer browse in the forest and what ones to look for. You pointed out a few browse plants I usually over look. Where I hunt has no agriculture so it’s all browse.

[@markabney]

On the porch taken off his boots like a BEAST!!! And feeding raccoons!!!

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Lmao, when he was following dan in the truck the pollen was flying.. hence that allergy episode. hahaha!

[@pyrolysis2129]

Sorry about Dave’s farm. All that work went to waste but at least you got to spend a little more time out there. Looking forward to watching you again this season. Praying my ankle heals up soon so Ican resume scouting here in SC.

[@jeffboutilier5075]

Damn, I didn't see that coming, sorry to hear about Dave's farm ,that's gonna take some time to get over I'm sure, at least you have years of memories of great hunts with a great friend.

[@kylebailey8498]

I can’t believe as much as Dan seems to enjoy this farm he doesn’t buy it!

[@markepping2307]

Iam sure land is 7 to 10 thousand per acre 40 acres 3 4 hundred thousand have fun makeing payments

[@Jefestephens]

@@markepping2307I don’t think it’s about the money! Although I couldn’t make those payments 😂

[@stevenkoskinen9452]

I agree, a GoFundMe might of worked. Bummer

[@ronsgarage2057]

Crazy how they pattern you! Set a stand in a swamp last week went back this week there was a bed next to it...😮

[@kidneystones3406]

THE HUNTING PUBLIC was doing a podcast with 2 wildlife biologists. In that interview, the wildlife biologist said the most important way of improving land for deer is to do a clear cut in the woods. The reason is it creates food and bedding. They said clear cuts are better than any food plots you can think of. They also stated that doing a controlled burn after the clear cut really enhances the property

[@shawnlewis6544]

Great video Dan

[@troycrum9294]

Ok. I get it now. You’ve got a bunch of little masked bandits spying on the deer for ya. Don’t ya? Yeah….I saw that.

[@brushcrawler8612]

I think I caught a case of poison ivy watching this episode 👍 Sorry for the loss of Dave's farm buddy. Keep your chin up.

[@stevehuffman2610]

Great video. I lost a little over 200 acers I've hunted all my life when it was sold .

[@upnorthoutdoors989]

Heck yeah

[@dennisignowski144]

So sorry you lost that farm. Been there a couple times myself. I just bought my 40 ac this spring..Dream farm in area we have hunted since i was a kid.state land area very close...25 min from house....i always thought you would buy Daves farm...but the door must be open to do somthing else...

[@patrickduffy9515]

Swamp swimming with Dan

[@shaneshonda]

Cut the front lip off the deck of a push mower so the blade cuts into the side off the standing grass to cut down that high grass

[@aaronkorsmo]

Sorry to see Dave’s farm go. Maybe you can get permission from the new owner to hunt it one last season.

[@slugworth8111]

Your the man Dan

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

Awesome!

[@billmcdowell4826]

Your the beast Dan.

[@ernieberry7436]

Sucks losing the farm with memories everything happens for a reason one door closes and one opens Dave is with you chasing the dream

[@DontbabyemOutdoors]

Getting me amped

[@_DeFiNiTeLy_Not_BrAd_]

Dan you need to fab a tub on top of that atv disc and let Ricky Poo or Eric ride around like a Roman.

[@m710a8]

Get in good with the new owners and maybe you can still hunt it?? Super sad to hear it go tho

[@stephencourtright8099]

What's up beastman

[@chipbrand6247]

U should start your season in MO so you can show me how to kill the big bucks that I can only see on camera lol

[@richnaples2852]

I really enjoyed that till the end with the news, but they say things happen for a reason and maybe Dave’s pushing you on a giant buck this year, it’s sad to hear.

[@billmcdowell4826]

That sucks about Dave's farm being sold I'm sure you have alot of memories.

[@patriot1182]

You obviously do not have chickens running around! LOL

[@nathanworthington7260]

Sorry Man

[@TS1023TS]

Only Dan can tame raccoons.

[@inthewoods3237]

Well I guess you should go ask if you can hunt? Worth a try?

[@daveshark2172]

what did you spray it with? Round up?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Yes

[@gregmulfort9577]

Don't use up all your bear bait on the raccoons!

[@shannonpaplow7754]

Like ALL THINGS,,, Good things can and do come to an end,,, Just as we are born,,, live our lives and pass into eternity. The only things we take with us is the love that has been given to us by others and the love we have shown to others because the laws and the prophets depend on this.

[@wes9998]

So I like Eric but what happen to Joe? I apologize maybe I’m out of the loop?

[@Jutfranks]

Where’s my stand stop playing with raccoons

[@ben4713]

Dan would have been retired years ago if he just uploaded coon feeding videos on different account. Fact

[@kylebailey8498]

Well I guesse you were full of crap when you told me they had somebody they wanted to sell it to last year I said expensive as those stands were I figure you to buy it

[@stevenmueller9752]

Dan, you made me puke swinging that camera all over in the early footage.🤮 Sorry you've lost access to the farm. All that work for naught.😢
