I just lost my grandma hours ago. Been a terrible day. But this video along with all the others puts a smile on my face and is making me feel so much better. Thank you Dan. ❤️

[@colbykinney5633]

I'm sorry for your loss buddy.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Sorry to hear about your grandmother 🙏

[@Hammerback0]

Sorry to hear that news. Lost mine a few years ago. Miss her everyday.

[@paulwakefield1015]

Sorry you lost your grandma. Hopefully you have some great memories

[@thehuntingbeast]

Sorry for y our loss

[@mikeoc217]

The area y'all hunt is really unique. That cattail island territory is definitely a specified plan of attack. I went from big hardwoods of New England to the Jungles of Vietnam in Louisiana. Huge pine tracts with sporadic hardwoods. Luckily my small but hardwood heavy land does pull in deer. Terrain features are almost none existent compared to up north. Y'all Rock always dig watching Dangerous Dan & Company 👍🏻🦌🇺🇸

[@stanleybuck4195]

Dan, your high energy and boundless enthusiasm for deer hunting are inspiring. You are a true champion of the sport.

[@memyself9385]

One of the best hunting educational videos that I have watched! The way you explain what's going on in your mind is amazing! I'm late into the game, started in my mid 40's. You have taught me that's it's way more than finding fresh signs of deer. You have taught me how to think like a badass buck that lives in a high pressure area. With work and life here in the north east it's hard to get onto a good spot without ever hunter in the are looking for the same thing. I live in a highly pressured area, you gave me the knowledge to keep at it. "Anyone can get lucky sometimes. Takes a true master to be lucky all the time." I like your attitude about going for the buck and not worrying so much about other hunter's, hiker's, and dog walker's.

[@appalachianwhitetails8793]

I can watch your scouting videos all day long. Your woodsman skills are unreal, if anyone ever gets lost in those swamps dan the man could track them down lol

[@jakemitchell1671]

LOVE the scouting vids Dan! Not only do you have eagles eyes, but you describe things so well. Thank you and thanks to Rick for his camera work and questions!

[@matthewowens5992]

There is a big difference in many people's scouting techniques, I call it patience scouting, actually taking the time to dissect what is laying right in front of your eyes. Dan you seem to have mastered it, I throughly enjoy your deer perspective, and if I was to give you a name "swamp ninja " would suit you for sure!

[@kendallinman606]

All of your scouting videos are very educational to even a seasoned Bowhunter. I’m actually considering trying a lock on system for the first time in my life. I’m about to be 58 and I’m still learning all I can about hunting whitetails. Thank you and God bless from Flat Rock Al.

[@georgepavlou2041]

Looking lean and mean Dan. Happy to see it man. Great video. Taking my 10 year old up into the Catskills this weekend. Hoping to pick up on some sign and pass the info onto the next generation. Good luck this season!

[@garyhall4326]

Great ADVICE Dan, Thanks. Loved the show.

[@williamedmunds-francis8569]

I'm not big on watching videos but we're still waiting for ice to melt here in northern Maine. So I've watched a few of your videos. Your truly remarkable and a very smart man. You have alot of similar tactics as to those we use up here won't be long and I'll be spring scouting

[@mikeguy9668]

Dan gets so excited just scouting and thats awesome! You read sign better than anybody I've ever seen. Wish I had that ability

[@christopherd7922]

Dan I’m always learning something new watching your videos. I have a suggestion for a future video that I think would be cool. If you take one of your scouting videos like this and then hunt it in the fall and record that as well. If you made a third video and intertwine the two other videos to show what you were expecting the deer to do when you were scouting and what actually happened during the hunt. Everyone really enjoys you sharing your knowledge with us. Ty

[@sidogg4113]

Could I make a friendly suggestion? Dan needs a wireless microphone, I have a difficult time hearing him when he is not facing the camera. Thanks for another very informative video!

[@thebigbuckslayerr579]

I'd try some headphones

[@tribalkilly8660]

DJI wireless mic he should get

[@557ronb9]

I really enjoyed this show. Thanks for putting the pieces together.

[@swamplandoutdoors]

Good one 👍 I really enjoyed the “full” journey of watching you break that area down, thanks for not editing that out.

[@craigarnold323]

Really looking forward to seeing you hunt from this stand Dan, good luck!

[@JayceBroda]

Dan, your t-shirt game is on point! Every shirt kills me. lol

[@richiecaelwarts1911]

Looks like a nice spot good luck when you hunt it Dan .

[@x2outdoors]

Great video Dan I've been doing some of the same thus spring hoping to locate a big buck for this fall. The last 2 years I've struggled to find anything I truly want to hunt but I've been learning a ton

[@nicholasorlando769]

Hey Dan , I’m in Louisiana around New Orleans and man your videos have helped me locate more beds and sign then ever before!! Keep the good tactics rolling , because you a (BEAST) !!!looking forward for the next video.

[@NeffTattoo]

That Cosby shirt is the best yet! lol

[@jos-eff5305]

Dan is by far my favorite hunter to watch same with Zach and Keith from The Hunting Public 💯 the Beast shall live on for ever

[@richn2852]

I love this video, I just went scouting on a piece of PL yesterday. Since I been watching your videos I got on ONX and just tore up the marshes where I live. This piece of PL was classic, text book on what you teach us. I tracked this monster 1200 yards from a field to a oxbow marsh to a deep creek. This video just gave me hope he might still be alive. I found his or a one of a big bucks beds to the tip of the oxbow with it wore to the ground with a few others on wind directions with loads of hair. I just appreciate all you do cause it’s hit a lightbulb on how I scout now. Wish you could see what this buck did to these poor trees lol chest high rubs it was easy to track him, thanks Dan!

[@GaToRBoY268]

Appreciate it Dan !!! The knowledge is insane goes a long way thanks for sharing!!!!

[@ryansmith8440]

Thanks Dan!!

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

This is a fantastic video! Keep em coming!!!

[@mauricetimmons2462]

Dan I have been watching your channel for at least two or three years now and I have to tell you how my hunting changed for the better I overlooked sign just plain hunting wrong but I take time and study the areas I want to hunt As you know It's hard to pattern public land but you still can figure out how deer move with that pressure I could go on and on about what knowledge you have gave the world Thanks

[@dennybirchfield]

Been scouting all this last month picked up on so many tips and tactics from you thanks so much for all your help

[@dirtyroots_music1006]

These are the videos I love!! The way Dan breaks down everything is just so much more superior to all these other guys

[@chrisdolan9515]

The Sherlock Holmes of deer habitat. Reading the land like an open book.

[@toddgruenstern2310]

As usual, another Great scouting video from Dan! This is the work that ultimately makes your season a success!

[@scottsteffens1043]

I love the scouting videos!

[@PBAdventures146]

Great Stuff!!! Watched the entire thing! Looks like some promising hunting this coming September!! I cracked up when Rick said it could have gone either way! Honestly my bet was the other way! lol

[@Andusmc]

I was dying as well

[@perryrusso3764]

Good stuff as usual Dan...those east winds are killing winds...and as you know those multiple trunked trees 🌳 keeps your outline broken up...I'd bet your going to score on a east wind...early season those buck bedding areas are tied to marked breeding areas...bucks don't move much or far in those areas but hang out during the day. These chosen spots should be all day set-ups...what I've found is you need to beat him back to his bedding area and then your set up for him to make the mistake....great stuff as always my friend...thanks for sharing your knowledge...for gained knowledge is the gateway to understanding how to hunt mature bucks..👍😁🦌🦌🦌🎯🎯🎯🎯

[@scottburkett9635]

Hands down you have the best channel on youtube, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge Dan !!

Love the shirt 🤣 and the endless info, also you're looking good Dan!

[@PrestonV3X]

Also that did that same balancing act crossing the creek. I'm in northern Wi and there is still ice on the creeks. I punched through, Needless to say I was wet up to the boys... Not the first and definitely not the last time its going to happen either

[@jeffpops5290]

Love the breakdown and watching how you analyze the woods. Good stuff

Thanks Dan Dan the deer slaying man!!

[@ronniewhite7414]

Excellent informative video. Enjoyed this one. Make more like it when you have the time

[@HotRodReverend]

Call me crazy but on these late winter/early spring scouting trips I like bringing 3 or 4 climbing sticks with me. Even though the foliage is missing and you don’t have a good representation of actual shooting lanes I find I can see and spot so much more for sign ad terrain as well. We don’t have much marsh country out here but it sure helps here in SW Ohio!

[@thehunt3652]

Hands down the best REAL hunting channel there is. The rest are just imitating the original

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Suggestions when you video a hunt here link this scouting video to it. Will there be a hill country- scouting trip?

[@thehuntingbeast]

There will be a hill country workshop posted where I break down a great bedding area of two and some tactics behind hill country...

[@tobywilliamson5213]

Crazy , but wonder where the deer are bedding late in the season , lots of good information Dan , how far were you from a good food source besides acorn trees

[@thehuntingbeast]

Lots of browse all around, but I think a lot of the deer moved to private crops for the winter

[@JayCervoUccisore]

Hitting 👍 before watching, as usual.

[@Tbowie13]

Uhhh Dan, when you talk about the tree that's so rough it might not even be there to get in come Sept. Just a friendly suggestion...maybe not the greatest idea to get in such a tree when you think it may fall on its own. 🤔 Pretend OSHA is watching! 😂 Just looking out for ya buddy! 😁 I want your videos to keep coming!

[@mr.skeptical3071]

I love that tree at the end of video, but it may be a little low. Any way to get up higher?

[@whitetailcqb5782]

[@jdwishowski692]

Ever hunt the Eau Claire County forest?

[@Mattpinter81]

Where you able to hunt this spot ? Any deer?

[@jeffreydriver3285]

Thx for what you do Dan. Great stuff. I have watched a lot of your KZbin hunts and instruction. Even caught you on White tail cribs episode. Impressive to say the least. I have only ever hunted whitetail in big woods of Pa. with a rifle. Haven’t got one but have been in the game once or twice. May expand my season by taking up archery. Not crossbow. Question: with all the crossbows available what do you use and why if I may ask? Thx.

[@thehuntingbeast]

I use Prime bows. I have there new in line. I think you can use just about any good modern compound and k ill deer. The inline fits me well, and more important the owners are great people....

[@sjn24]

Is there any info on how this turned out? Any success?

Waiting for the non existent north wind.

[@joshwollberg3028]

Dan, thanks for all the great content! Are the oaks you finding in this video white oaks? I know of several areas like that but they are all red oaks.

[@thehuntingbeast]

I believe those were all reds... Still a huge draw

[@joshwollberg3028]

@@thehuntingbeast Thanks, that opens up so many spots that I have overlooked.

[@MexicanMovie]

@@joshwollberg3028 and at least in Illinois where I am located, white oak acorns drop and get eaten early, but red oaks drop and sit until it rains enough to wash away the tannins, so they are a huge draw right around rut time at Halloween or so.

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

I am very interested if you do any good at that spot. I wouldn’t think any buck more than 2 years old walking through that relatively open “marsh”. I assume it gets higher and thicker in early season?

[@CoachMPB]

Hey Dan great intel! When you say small parcel, how small is small??

[@thehuntingbeast]

less than 200 acres

[@herbmorales9248]

Wt time of the yr are you in those beds ? An would that invasion push em out ? Like how soon could i go into beddingto hunt it?

[@thehuntingbeast]

March... For most of the bedding areas I scout in spring, the bucks are not bedding there at that time of year. Im looking at the sign from the fall before. I do believe everytime you go into a bedding area you potentially do a little damage, but lets face it, coyotes go thru there, shed antler hunters go thru and the occasuonal other hunter walks thru... me going in spring / winter when the bucks are not there really does minimal damage. Even the peimary spots where they are there now, they occasionally get kicked from those beds... Just keep in mind the less the better

[@archeryonly5629]

[@ronaldols8975]

Do you think those phragmites will displace the remaining cat tails soon?

[@thehuntingbeast]

I dont think it will be real soon... but eventually. For instance, one marsh I have ben hunting for 25 years had a patch of pfrag about 2 acres in size 25 years ago when I started hunting there. Now its 8 or 10 acres... Growing? yes... but its taking time.

[@jeffm.1256]

How do you know a deer is still alive without visual confirmation?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Sign maybe. Also really big deer that get shot I usually hear about.

[@Hammerback0]

I swear I watched a video back in November where a guy hunted that spot! He shot a good buck with a bow, and a bigger buck came in and started gouging the dead buck. The guy yelled at the buck, it took a full minute before it noticed him trying to get its attention. If it’s not that place, it’s identical! If I can find that video I’ll share the link here. May take a bit to find it, but I’m gonna try.

[@BiPolar_BeaR.]

You would think.. They would listen to the guy.. That shoots giant mature bucks.. over n over.. Not high fenced pets.. but on public land.. 👍💯😂
