Plates have been expired for 2 years but that's okay. What a buddy Dan what a buddy!

[@matthewwichtner2935]

Just for future reference, regarding any type of hunting, Eric, It's always good when you see a live critters moving. Especially when it's the ones that you're hunting. Just saying man. Too funny!

[@jakesorenson9310]

Bad Axe Mich sends it's appreciation for the Hunting Beast style. Keep it up Dano!!

Downriver going strong but I spend quite a bit of time in Port Hope.

[@justinadams159]

I love those racks that are cagey and the main beams almost touch. Beautiful buck. Congratulations.

[@SM-eu5xl]

Excellent hunt! These are what I experience hunting big woods public in Virginia all the time. This is REAL! Unlike the hunting shows that are on managed farms with bucks with names 🤦‍♂️

[@brokenarrow6491]

Always enjoy your video's..I can't watch hunting shows on TV. They are basically infomercials. You are all good/regular guys going hunting just like the rest of us.

[@f3arrrrrrrr]

Where is Joe Rentmeester?

[@Tattooedharvester1983]

Dan your a wise man , would love to go on a hunt with you sir!!! I would soak up as much as you would teach !!! These guys dont understand how lucky they are to be with you and learning like they do !!!!

[@jesus_is_king8485]

Can’t wait to watch!

[@Retroadventure8.0]

Stay positive Riteon , love ya video, lots of knowledge about bedding bucks great stuff

[@ta1ntv1lle39]

only thing better than a 4 finger track is a 4 finger drink 💯👌

[@johndyer9232]

😂

[@cjcummings5959]

🔥 😂

[@TenPointTyrone]

Or a 4 finger lid

[@Sonja00]

Yes and stay away from 4 finger gals

[@johnlescault3737]

I’m a southern Indiana hills hunter, often sign can be pretty sparse until the rut really is going strong, bucks are spread out down here, but I love the the challenge and there are some great bucks down here if you do find them.

[@wildturkey8752]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy your videos whether you get a kill or not. Thank you.

[@mikerhodes3563]

Public land in Louisiana gets the most pressure-the saving grace is that that pressure concentrates the deer in water and swamps-our big problem is all the hogs -they will tear up the atv roads that it makes them practically impassable-this is a dry year so water is the key attractant

[@johnhill9532]

My boy and I are headed there now from Adirondacks NY to Pulaski county Indiana

My oldest daughter was born on Halloween at 6:24 in the evening. I remember watching trick-or-treaters out the window right before her mom went into labor. I lost her two years ago in a car wreck should be 22 on Halloween. So now I spend my Halloween hunting this weekend. Will be dedicated to my daughter.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Sorry to hear that... A parent is not meant to bury their children.

[@Eaaatlife]

In my opinion, I think recently watching all these beast tactics and clueing into all the sign that Dan teaches us to. I feel like I’ve seen less deer now a days. Before I knew all this info. I think so many people are watching these videos and everybody is looking and setting up on the same stuff. Deer know where the humans are. I’ve found going back to overlooked areas with less sign and less human activity, the action picks up again. I’d walk deep into swamps and islands or deep into woods and just see stands and cell cams. But set up next to the road and the parking lot, I see more deer. 🤷🏻 almost have to revert back to my beginning days of hunting. Guys in my town with heavy summit climbers not nearly going in as deep or into remote swamps are shooting 125”-135”ers (which are big for mid Michigan) and I’m a mile back and see a lone spike. 🤷🏻 could just be my luck. Anyways everybody be safe and good luck!

[@mattnewberg4549]

Got a nice 3yo eight point this year going back to the very first public land spot I’ve ever hunted… about 300 yards or so in. Did have a run in with a stud going deep in tho on my first sit.. but I agree, a lot more people running through bedding checking cams with wrong winds, you name it. Seeing a lot more big bucks killed on small private pieces around here in Michigan because they’re getting pushed from the public

[@shaneshonda]

I've noticed the same thing here in Tennessee

[@Derrek4Real]

It's everywhere it's the heat... it's been slow for me and others in new york PA and Ohio. My cameras are the same don't go off till a cold front or colder Temps! Haven't u ever heard of the kid shooting the giant first time out? U gotta hunt places most ppl look over!

[@thehuntingbeast]

If your watching close our biggest beast kills have always come from over looked spots. No dougbt though, lots of people are catching on and there are more people learning and watching then we ever imagined.

[@bryannikkila9751]

Hello from Higgins lake Michigan

[@b-d3vil16]

I had a missed opportunity around the time the last video came out where I had shot a doe from the ground and didn’t recover her, got back out there and got one at 8 yards from the ground with my bow she only ran 40yards and fell over. I know it’s a doe but redemption felt and still dose feel great.

[@steveadamowski6844]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks!!

[@Budget.bass.fishing]

Y’all need to try the northern part of the state public land around the lakes …. Hint hint bigger corn fed bucks but more people.

[@kevinkinerson2250]

Glad to meet you and Eric on your way in on that last day. The dude from Vermont. Glad I was able to get you on some sign. I saw bucks everyday down there just no big ones but plenty of cool experience. Good luck the rest of the season

[@thehuntingbeast]

Nice to meet you too...

[@maxiebordeauxjr9529]

Dan, I enjoyed watching this show. I hunted Southern IN, 10-29 through 11-10 I just got back last night. I had an awesome hunt, unfortunately I miss judged the distance on a huge 10point and shot under him. Saw 27 bucks while I was there with 4 being big shooters.

[@sureguy8124]

The struggle is real! 100% real hunting.

[@mikeoc217]

If I see a good rub line where I know other hunters are? I go about two hundred yards away make a fake rub line in a big circle, keeps them busy. I know it might be dirty pool but it makes me feel good inside!

[@underdogoutdoors]

Amazing how you can go to a new place & zero in on where to hunt.

[@WMANomad]

I have all that, also. Good tips.

[@jbrittain4605]

Good video, I'm curious to what a thermo hub would look like on a topo map.

[@user-zk2pz1pb3v]

Dan I hope that air bag don’t go off you may get smacked in the face 😂

[@diehardoutdoors]

We have some really big bucks here in Indiana we been a one Buck rule for a long time, really a lot ppl over look Hoosier state but not the smart hunters

[@bradcrook7122]

It was great sharing hunting camp with you and Eric. I would look forward to hearing everybody’s stories at the end of the day, and you and Eric are great story tellers. I think that’s why it’s so much fun to watch videos with both of you on there 👍🏼👊🏼. Had a great time guys 😊 Good luck the rest of the season and hope to do that again with some packing out!! 😁

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Coming from Chicago on 94, your very close to me! I'm in Northern Indiana, we have 3k acres, and is some of the best in the area

[@bobbo1686]

Hey Dan. Public land Hoosier hunter here. EHD hit some areas of the state pretty hard this year. Could explain the lack of sign depending on where you guys were

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Not in my area, Im in Northern Indiana

[@Budget.bass.fishing]

Yea haven’t herd of EHD around in a few years .

[@richnaples2852]

Hey Dan, nice seeing the video out, I know how you been feeling now I’m in those shoes now hitting a good buck and not retrieving it, got a dog and deer was still alive catching up with it, unfortunately with my hit it’s not gonna make it but I’m hoping it does.

[@lesleyboeder1798]

Keep putting in the work and it will pat off eventually.

[@Aburgess1234]

Great video guys

[@jeffpops5290]

Great video as always. Keep at it, it’ll pay off in the end. 👍🏻👍🏻

Ok..Dan ..sure..you “don’t get buck fever”..like all us mortals….ok…haha..nice call, Eric…!…

[@Sonja00]

His plates been expired for 2 years lmao 😅

[@EdWolfram]

It has been a boon acorn year and the deer are just camped under the big white oak feed trees. I assume when those are ate up they will start on the rest but they are an inch thick in spots.

[@elizabeth_williams]

Dude you pay attention so well in the woods but are oblivious to people waving at you on the road 😆

[@thehuntingbeast]

Sorry...

[@TS1023TS]

Always scouting! He is looking for deer that’s why haha

[@ec9697]

Nice try ol buddy.:I’m still coming to Wisconsin to hunt lol

[@decaturridgebees8761]

Living in Michigan now but Indiana is my home state. Under rated for sure! Tons of public south of Indy! I expect an invite next time

[@kylen1922]

Use to live in indiana and never hunted there. Moved back to michiagan 10nyrs ago and have killed some studs hear.

[@decaturridgebees8761]

@@kylen1922 biggest deer i ever saw was right by my house. My dad and I hunted him for years. We knew he was around by the track and sign he left. But he never showed during daylight. I saw him at 2am standing along the road getting ready to cross. Took me a few to process the enormity of this creature. His rack was probably 200”. Never saw him again.

[@brandonnickoloff1558]

I feel like Michigan is similar to this. All the public land I’ve been to here has hardly any sign. Then I find good sign but the deer were only at that sign for a week or 2 then move somewhere else. Missed my chance last year and this year.

[@briargoatkilla]

It was 'kill put in". So pretty much x marks the spot.

[@jackcampbell2307]

That charcoal toboggan and that plaid charcoal gray shirt Blends in excellent with the timber in the background Dan

[@dennisp7317]

Dan didn’t like the buck fever comment lol I get buck fever on a spike

Totally missed the chance to edit Ricky poo into that tree 🤣

[@jamesmooney5348]

Right on Dan!

all of your Hand movements in front of the camera remind me of Soupy Sales and White Fang and Black tooth.

[@sarafayelawton652]

They saw the name on the license app and said oh no, not here Dude!! Not the Serial Killer! Lol

[@billymoad]

Hi from northwest Missouri question why is everyone touching every rub without gloves the bucks smell you

[@thehuntingbeast]

Bucks smell you whether you touch the rub or not. We generally hunt these spots once and dont come back. If we intend to hunt an area multiple times we try not to go near where the deer walk. But if you walk past a rub its the same damage as touching it.

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Exactly

[@vadisdunham3218]

Where’s Dan’s videos of his Boon & Crocketts?

[@ronsgarage2057]

Love the content boys! Keep it coming!!! I'm on a monster here in ct...making rubs chest high! Going to hunt him tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

[@CNYLee38]

@ the 34:44 there's a HUGE rub behinds Dan's shoulder

[@Huntoutdoors1]

Guys I will let you in on a secret here in Indiana .Run from those hill property south of Indy .You want giants head for the Reservoir properties in the North central and northeastern part of the state and the FWA up there in the far north eastern parts . . The big ones are there and lots more than the over browsed over hunted over pressured under AG. hill country down south . Just saying after only hunting here for almost 50 years ,Good luck Hands down I recommend the above over down south .

[@mikefromoh2925]

Don’t tall anybody but definitely can be the same deal in Ohio! Out of staters are just really attracted to the hill country and I can understand why- I love it also. But if you want to get a look at bigger deer overlooked areas have their place! If I hunt Indiana I would probably go up to the northeast corner or even hunt that deer reduction zone along the highway up there.

[@nelson8527]

Dan you want to hunt southern Ohio area give me a holler.

[@LouStoriale]

I hunt Indiana and I live in Chicago- HS and College in Indiana (Ball State). Super excited to see this. The reason you rarely see deer sign in Indiana is because on public land, only bucks are allowed to be shot during shotgun season. This means that many of the bucks that have a tendency to rub and make scrapes are killed. I’ve been hunting Indiana for more than 25 years and I can tell you that on public land it is very rare to find rubs or scrapes vs other states.

[@TenPointTyrone]

See the rub in my pic THATS Indiana public You just aint looking I found over 30 scrapes in a creek bottom less than 200acres public land this yr alone

[@chasekluth6092]

This just isn’t true you can shoot does during gun season. Not sure what you are talking about

[@gamingoutdoors9556]

Next time just buy your license online for indiana, it's wayyyyyy easier! I'm in Southern Indiana btw!

[@SmokeJensen]

Did Rick end up in prison or something?

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Dan, i am curious to why you thought the buck wouldnt be running the river bottom? Dont those raveens lead to the river?

[@jamesmooney5348]

I like bubble gum. Dan likes bubble gum too! But he's fresh out. So, guess what.... Yeah you know...

[@jeffboutilier5075]

What do you use to film your hunts , a 1986 Casio calculator? Hahaha... I just realized if I take my glasses off it's in perfect focus. I say this while sitting in my living room, having never filmed a hunt in my life. Lol

[@thehuntingbeast]

I go thru a lot of cameras... Bought this one for $1800. before season and its already trashed. hunting in Rain and dropping cameras dont do much for longevity.

[@jeffboutilier5075]

@@thehuntingbeast yeah I can imagine, no such thing as a beast proof camera I suppose. Lol. Best of luck with the rest of your season.

Wht happen to Joe? He would've shot one
