Bigwoods - Where to start

Big woods DVD - Intro & where to start... This is the 1st video in a series that will complete the Big woods DVD. The series will focus on where bucks bed, and how to kill them within large timbered areas...

[@PBAdventures146]

Read your shirt.. clicked thumbs up.. now I'll watch the rest of the video!!😂😂

[@brianworkman2747]

I was never taught woodsman ship so by watching you and getting boots on the ground, I am learning to be more efficient when scouting. Thank you for taking the time for what feels like teaching me personally, Dan.

[@Lucas-jy7cv]

Me either I got 3 boys that I gotta try an teach it to so I take in all the information I can

[@coleasinas2570]

@@Lucas-jy7cv😊😊

[@ML-ks2lj]

​@@Lucas-jy7cvjust gotta get out there look for vegetation that looks like a snip was taken and research that. It's good they eat. Look at trees they like to rub on and scrape under. Research them. Research then whitetail all around and get boots in ground

[@danielflowers4979]

I love the hard work and passion you put into the hunt Dan! Your willingness to share your knowledge inspires me to be a better hunter. Thank you for all you do!

[@PaulKendall]

You remind me of an old Michigan Upe (I think that’s how they say it) I use to work with. He was a 6’2” ex middle linebacker brute of a man but soft as a a teddy bear when it boiled down to it. Love the videos and love it even more now that my sons are watchin you.

[@ranger3185]

Thanks for all the great information, Dan started me on becoming a proficient deer Hunter, had my best year last season. Passing the skills on to my two daughters, who love to hunt. Thanks again!

[@jimpeterson3806]

Thank you sir! There's plenty of big woods here in Michigan. I'll hang on every word 👍

[@iBleedStarsAndBars]

Had no idea you released this on KZbin. I must've been working overseas at the time of release. This is straight up my alley, I live in the heart of the largest swamp in the United States ( Atchafalaya basin). It's 260 thousand acres and a majority is state or federal land and open to public hunting. Thank you for sharing this Dan, much appreciated

[@gabrielwitte1]

Dan been watching along time now thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@sarafayelawton652]

Thanks so much Dan for these videos!! I'm self taught, and these videos will help me SO much! God bless!

[@RealMJSr]

As a beginner this is one of the best videos I’ve seen period. No idea where to start but determined to figure this out. This video helped me understand deer a little better, so thanks!

[@TS1023TS]

You’re the best Dan. Thanks

[@Sknightz711]

This is awesome! There is so much info packed into these videos, especially the Q&A podcast. I bet I’ve listened to the podcasts at least 6 or 7 times. Each time I find something I missed or able to relate back to an experience or situation. Thanks Dan, Mario, and Rick.

[@joereidoutdoorsman.3136]

As a native of northern wi i can relate to the bigwoods videos.

[@luckytrapper7656]

It's nice to watch a fellow hunter from Wisconsin ( I'm in Franklin). I use to bow hunt the Black River Falls area and over to Neilsville area. Thousands of acres to hunt. Great videos Dan.

[@gsquared2394]

Dan you are too generous. Charge people, you put so much work in to these videos, you deserve a few bucks. I hope people buy the dvd to have the info all in one place.

[@johnathonpatzwald8480]

The whole DVD on KZbin! Thank you BIG time!!! Love the Farmland and Marsh dvds.

[@patbryant8771]

Love Your Shirt!! Thanks for the great videos Dan!!

[@whitetailpoet4243]

I love it. I have farm access here in North Western MN but I'm drawn, addicted, to the wilderness tracts just a few miles to the east. Thanks for the video Dan.

[@paulwakefield1015]

Can’t get enough of beast videos! Thanks for all your hardwork

[@paulvigue6648]

I had some pieces of the puzzle that just weren’t fitting. Some things you said on here shot a bolt of lightning through this small brain. Thank you so much.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

The content on this channel is completely awesome! Best wishes next season! Kill a big in, I’ll watch the video!😂

[@jonshea1101]

[@bpwhitetails]

Awesome! Love the content you guys put out!

[@Haunt_The_Woods]

Love the content Dan. Really looking forward to this series.

[@SellsZac]

There is something about walking into uncharted woods an hour before daybreak that makes your spine tingle. It'll definitely remind you of that feeling of "being alive" that we lose spending 40 hours a week at a desk.

[@stanp6383]

Big woods hunting is like a bicycle wheel and the center of that wheel is the beds with all those spokes/trails coming out ......good luck Lol

[@MR33MARKELL]

Everytime I get a notification that Dan puts up a video makes my day. Counting the days down til bow season #addicted

[@gregmulfort9577]

I really enjoy your channel more than any other. Not many guys talking about hunting big woods and big swamp. Nowadays it's all just about growing "food plots", to that I say are you a deer hunter or a deer farmer. I'm a northern MN guy we have our property and it butts up to a 7,000 acre public with hard access because of the swamps on the other side so it's just us and another family that hunt it. And the whole area is loaded with state land because alot is wet so there is no shortage. I'm coming up on 30 years of doing this in this same area and constantly trying to get better. One of your earlier videos about looking at the deer trails in swamps where they funnel to was great advice. I've been scouting some of those places over the winter and I was out again yesterday going to a woods island I thought was going to be good, but i don't think the trees were oaks, the leaves looked maple and I didn't see any buck sign and not even much scat or anything, oh well you don't know till you trek 4 miles through the thick stuff to get there. I did find a place over winter that has a ton of promise. One issue is after finding the place, is to get there during hunting season, if you have a brutal walk out you have to dress for that but then you also have to dress for northern MN conditions in November and sitting all day in it. I've learned alot but there's so much more to know, I'll never know everything but it's the journey that is fun. After almost 30 years I still don't know where our bucks bed. The does are easy but the bucks are so.. mysterious. I don't go hardcore shed hunting and I leave alone some of our known good spots, but I do a ton of scouting and I've never ONCE found a shed. Ever! It doesn't bother me but it's just crazy to me. We have woods but I'd say 65-70% of the land is swamp and all different kinds of swamps maybe 10 different kinds. All interspersed, I love the land but it's such a challenge because I still don't really know what I'm doing haha, I've exceeded my Dad long ago in the effort and thought levels and my little brother is just trying to learn from me so I'm ony own. But we have no shortage of edges that's for sure. In this video I learned about what side they're bedding on for the wind conditions so I will use that for sure. I could've used it yesterday when I was trying to position this stand I drug out to an area in winter by snowmobile. I was probably there for 2 hours trying to pick the best spot for the location.. I might move it again now after watching this video. Sorry for the long ass comment I am still jacked up from a good weekend of scouting and planning and I trapped a nice beaver too.

[@tomlongacre1384]

My words exactly. This is awesome, after 3 dead months

[@joshlasure3384]

Awesome video should definitelt help a lot for big woods in West Virginia!!!!

[@Virginiashadow]

Free, awesome, info. THANKS!

[@beaverwithachainsaw]

Once again, I Love the shirt! And the video.

[@williamhollaway4174]

What's nice about you Dan is you actually care about other people and not blow smoke up our ass. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

[@perryrusso3764]

Hi Dan, 🏹🦌🎯The craft of woodsmanship teachings around deer hunting has literally been abandoned. This is just my opinion, but TV big buck mania has hurt deer hunting. We want to leapfrog kids into the hunting sports by sponsoring very early late summer seasons for them instead of teaching the fundamentals. I'm 63 now and have some of the best big woods hunting because most hunters aren't to ambitious getting any farther than a mile...all my scouting is done before April 1st.. I spend most of my scouting excursions finding/maping a particular bucks beds..for the upcoming season...once I find his major bed I'll usually prepare a tree preset or two so I don't have disturb the area until the day I'm going to hunt it..love the real deal diy you provide for hunters...thanks brother

[@jobyshaw5459]

Always good stuff!!!

[@MartinRosendahl]

[@JoshuaSkibinski]

Thanks for sharing Dan, very generous of you! If you ever come to NY to hunt get ahold of me and I can show you where not to go lol!

[@shadowdawg04]

Nice to know real hunting matters to some people. Alone in the big woods is my drug of choice!!!

[@bradleysnyder555]

I will apply the Big Woods chapters to area around the Millstone/ Clarion River watersheds.

[@huntfishexplore7636]

I hunt north of the Minnesota border on public land. Wish I was hunting on a farm lol. But it is rewarding.

[@jeffreysharp4027]

Thank you !!!

[@mattsullivan4318]

Iv been scouting NC public last few weekends some good some terrible, I think I found the one I want to get on but it’s a permit property so I’ll have to get that lottery, has soybean clearing creek on one side wooded on both sides. Followed some tracks towards creek and walked right up on a deer in the bed maybe 15ft till he booked it. Not much for hunter sign so I think I’ll Likely get the invite.

[@bryanroberts]

Hellz yah Dan!!!!!!!!

[@jakeelliott4514]

Appreciate the knowledge being dropped Dan, ill be sure to buy the DVDs anyways to support. BTW nice bidan shirt in the opener. We will trade you our clown (Trudeau), for your clown? Man I miss the guy that said mean things. Good luck this year!

[@gdawg4ever119]

You have a smart cat

[@newhampshireoutdoornetwork9505]

This is awesome one of the spots I hut is a little over 10,000 acres . From what I've seen there are only a hand full of people that hunt it ive seen some really good sign ive always had a hard time trying to get set up right on them im hoping this will help

[@jacobsemple4528]

I currently have the marsh, swamp, and farm bedding dvds. I need to buy a hill country and will for sure purchase the big woods dvd. Appreciate everything you do dan I'm learning alot.

[@MountainMassOutDoors]

Love this channel he speaks about how 90 percent of hunters can and do hunt ( the tv networks hunting is for ppl that are rich and can afford to pay to sit on someone farm property .... i cant relate to that

[@butternutbean1885]

Thanks for the awesome content Dan!! Quick question…. When going out of state to new ground how many areas and what size would you potentially try to look at in a week? I don’t want to spread myself too this with all the e-scouting and run myself ragged when my boots hit the ground. Thanks for the insight!!

[@thehuntingbeast]

I look at a huge area and never hit it all when I get there... I go straight for the best looking stuff and am often glad I have back up spots.

[@butternutbean1885]

Got it! That’s kinda been my approach this far. I put boots on the ground for 3 days mid February and saw a lot of ground. Never touched most of what e-scouted. I’m probably going to end up focusing on 3-4 big pieces and try to have several options within each. I’ll keep on e-scouting and hopefully be lucky enough to see a deer or two next season. Thanks for all you do for the hunting community!!!

[@EaterOutdoors]

Bow hunting the edges of town is actually pretty good 👍

[@TripleRwoods]

I freaking love that shirt. lol

[@NorthAlabamaOutdoorSportsmen]

You need to hunt Bankhead National Forest in Alabama. 93,000 acres. We will go with you. lol

[@brianoimoen5627]

Dan, Sent you an email. Hope you got it. I invite you to come down to southern Missouri. Surrounded by all big woods public. Love your videos and in debt for all the wisdom you share. Brian

[@garrettstraffon608]

Dan you should put together some trucker hats. Flat/ bent bills. I actually found one on Amazon that said hunting beast with your symbol just didn’t like the color. Just a thought though.

[@chrislovely9136]

Dan, we really enjoy your videos and appreciate your knowledge on hunting whitetail. My son and I would love to further support you and your Hunting Beast Brand by purchasing your mobile system but daaaaamn that price 🤣 Do you see the price of your sticks and hang on coming down anytime soon lol

[@thehuntingbeast]

We are trying to find ways to bring the price down, but its an expensive process... No need to feel you have to support me. Just use what you can afford, and have fun... Thats whats really important.

[@michaelbutterworth6556]

Ever hunt the western part of the U P of Michigan?
