Saving the Princess - IOWA PUBLIC LAND RUT HUNT

[@paulb442]

The vocalizations on that buck was incredible! Congratulations Dan!

[@welderse14]

And they say don't overcall😅

[@WMBCS]

I had a 130 inch 8 pointer do that last year

[@surffishermanandcrossbowki9457]

Dan is the best hunter/worst shot combo dude on youtube! Love ya Beast! You make us feel better bc we all miss too here and there!

[@shannonpaplow7754]

What a Great Friend Dan. You are LUCKY to have such a friend and so fare and in between these days and age.

[@MattgIH]

Clearly the best vocal buck I've ever seen on video. Congrats Dan!

[@chanceyfuller3695]

Craziest grunting I’ve ever heard, congratulations Dan and thanks for sharing.

[@kip.k]

The shirt game never disappoints. LOL!

[@ScreamingChino]

😂😂😂 And well.... somebody had to save the princess! I paused the video, and had to comment. People lack character these day's, but not Dan Infalt. Give us more. I'll never forget the old man in the swamp story you told on one of your bear kill videos. He warned you not to go into the swamp because of the beast that lurks from above in the trees, and then you said to the old man, unbeknownst to him.... I AM THE BEAST😂😂😂. I've memorized that story, word for word, and I tell it to people. There is alot of truth to the story. And I can see where's it would be helpful for someone who is uneasy about walking through the woods in the dark. I'm a gun hunter, and I've always told people, as long as I have my gun, I'm the force to be recond with. I like the beast story better. From a total stranger, probably 800 miles south of you, I just wana say, your videos really have an impact on people. I'm sure I speak for many others as well, thank you Dan, full throttle on the character! And holy smokes, I've never heard a buck grunt like that. Got you another one, goodern too!

[@jeffsharp2981]

Congrats Dan! Glad you enjoyed your visit to Iowa. I have never heard a display of grunting anywheres close to that symphony you had being performed for you!

[@toomanyhobbies2021]

"I looked around for a hero, but there was no one around.....someone had to save the princess." Epic!!

[@jasonseale9219]

Of all the videos I’ve watched about how to grunt call, none sounded like that! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@skylars4335]

I knew you'd get it done, Dan! Congrats. Way to bounce back this season!

[@scotthorton1581]

I’m a new hunter this year. I’ve learned more from a few of your videos than nearly a hundred of all the others. Shooting the videos in the field explaining your experience all the subtleties really makes the difference. Thanks!

[@derekmiller5239]

It's videos like these that keep my head up in the woods when things go bad. Never give up. Good job Dan.

[@stevesmith1526]

The missing keys and finding keys had me seriously laughing out loud. Ive lost count of how many times THP guys have done that lol. Awesome ending, crazy how he didnt even flinch with that first shot. Great video man! I think it was your most entertaining one.

[@danielfetchak1865]

I'm 59 and never heard anything like that in my life and I've been bowhunting for 43 years. Awesome video🦌

[@Doug2114]

The one thing no one has talked about is the fact that Dan is showing us his mistakes, he doesn't have to do that and could easily hide that. My opinion is it's not a shooting issue, I think Dan is a good shooter, the issue is Confidence! Bow hunting is 90% mental. Dan is second guessing himself the whole time as a shot presents itself. He is extremely confident in finding deer and his setup, which he should be, he's always on big deer. The shot is a different story, he's lost his mojo, almost needs his beast card pulled. I'm sure he will get it worked out, we all go through it.

[@syang1985ecko]

Dan's friend Jay makes a very good point. As long as many of us have been archery hunting somewhere along the way we can develop some kind of target panic or shooting problem and not know it or know how to fix it. Who here focuses more on their pin placement more than their actual release of the arrow? I have relearned my shot process to ensure iam in control at all times in my shot process and that my focus has changed to my release than where my pin is because that should be the easy part. Hope this makes sense and can help someone.

[@hunterfisher5577]

suggesting Dan needs his Beast Card pulled is B L A S P H E M Y

[@marcwithey4983]

Prime example of the high and lows of bow hunting!! Crazy buck grunts!!! Congrats Dan! No doubt you were gonna keep grinding, as always. 👍

[@scotthoutcooper8742]

I have heard some pretty strange grunts from bucks in full rut, but nothing like that!! Amazing Dan! Way to save the day!

[@MichaelHaddad-o1r]

Dan, Jay Trudel’s advice is spot on, about just watching the deer while drawn, then aim and shoot only at the moment of truth. For the last three years, I’ve been having the same issue of thinking the angle’s right, only to put a marginal shot on a deer. I’ve gotten lucky and found them all, but had been scratching my head every time, trying to understand how I could’ve misread the angle. For those same three years, I’ve also struggled to see my target through the pins with my newly-acquired old man eyes! Really glad you posted this. I’m taking this advice with me to the swamp this afternoon! And, I’m glad you were able to save that princess. You are a true hero. Bet you saved some innocent trees too🤙

[@thehuntingbeast]

The way my eyes are if I focus on the pins the deer is a blur, if I focus on the deer, I cant see the pins... I think focusing on the deer till the shot presents and then shifting to the pins will help dramatically.

[@gregshirek4680]

“I don’t know if something’s off with my bow” lol. No, it’s called buck fever. We’ve all had it. evilest sounding grunts I’ve ever heard. Eerie. Great buck Dan !!👍

[@ermannodangelo1062]

Congratulations on a beauty buck, that thing sounded like a Devil Buck.

[@strydershadow391]

Thank you for being the Hero! That poor princess doe needed you there Dan.

[@ericmullins6794]

Congratulations Dan 😊 !! Finding your keys was crazy incredible . But that grunting 😮 !!! You’re definitely a hero 😂 !!!!

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations Dan, that was a good buck. The grunting he did was something else. Thanks for sharing.

[@auntchar101]

What an awesome video. Can't believe you found your keys. That buck vocalization was insane. Congrats.

[@T-Mak-s7x]

I just got back from Iowa for my first time. My minds still completely blown because I’m from northern Michigan. I shot a nice buck on last day, nice for northern Michigan but a baby for that insane place. Had to scream Hey Stop at him 3 times to stop him. Took a drive one evening, saw 30 bucks & 10 shooters around 140-150”. My head is still spinning. Hunted public & private. Oh ya, finding your keys was a trip!!!

[@billweihl2859]

Oh I'm sure you knew exactly with a grunt like that what he had in store for your little princess. Laughing...... Ya have to love it when he still stands there after the first shot and let's you send a second one. I've had two bucks over the years let me do the same thing. Them princesses make them big Ole bucks crazy and you have to be in the tree to experience it and that's what makes us keep coming back. Good job Dan and congrats. Be safe out there fellas.

[@Schubox62]

The BBSK's Keys to Success. Great hunt Dan.

[@jeffboutilier5075]

Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut..... congrats on the buck. I can hear John now.."5 of my last six bucks have had Dan infalts arrow in them." That has to be the best footage/sound of a buck grunting, absolutely crazy sound

[@TS1023TS]

Crazy grunts! You were not kidding

[@jerryscray1789]

Can't go anywhere without seeing trail cameras its kind of heart breaking nobody does anything anymore but sit home waiting for the images to come in. Kind of takes the fun out of it. My opinion only I will keep doing what I'm doing

[@Bow-Man]

I'm with you brother

[@Amiyelvovna]

Me too Hunting is about mystery and solving puzzles in the field and at home with maps. It’s become a high tech intel game. Some are even using drones to spy deer out now.

[@clintkeuler9858]

Congratulations Dan! Crazy video, maybe you should do a video on tactics to locate lost keys😂

[@zacharyporter6500]

Congrats Dan!!!!! That was an awesome video! Never herd a deer grunt like that!!

[@bruceallen6377]

What an awesome Buck and awesome hunt Dan! That is the most insane grunting I have ever heard on a video or real life! Thanks for your channel!

[@davetoms63]

Awesome, way to stick with it when things are going against you. Some great video of deer vocalization as well. Congrats Dan, you're having a great season.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Had a pack of Bucks chasing a Doe years ago sounded like that. I actually thought it was Two hunters talking while trespassing from afar. Craziest thing I’ve ever heard! Congratulations Dan🏹🦌🎯

[@skdrcr]

This episode is gold Dan, great job brother

[@archeryhuntermike6701]

Congrats Dan! What a great redemption hunt! Very cool footage

[@1220bowles]

" No telling what he had in mind for that poor girl" made me crack up lmao

[@user-qp3tz5oh5j]

Thats awesome Dan! Only heard one so far that "roared" like that. Same thing, scared to death little doe, but I knew whatever stepped out next would be old!! Giant body with a decent rack, dnr said 6-7 year old plus!!

[@Biker_1991]

Cool hunt Dan! Love the old flannel😂

[@ldunski]

Instinctive shooting, my old man taught to always stay focused on what I'm shooting and not even look at the bow

[@shawnevans4662]

Imagine walking through the woods and looking up. Oh hey Dan! Sorry then walking off. lmao.

[@Dentdude]

I’ve never heard a buck grunt that long wow. Amazing

[@scottcline7706]

Nice VLOG Dan. That deer grunting made a show. Congratulations.

[@AquaLandRelics]

Just had an amazing encounter with a 140+ .. didn’t get him and im currently trying to find my confidence that’s why I’m watching the beast.

[@hoyt15flhtk82]

Talk about luck finding your keys and catching the buck vocalization on video. You should of been heading to a casino that evening. The area you was hunting is an amazing area to hunt and you made it look easy. I lived very close to it for 5yrs. But never bowhunted it cause had plenty of private property to hunt with a lot less hunting pressure. I've since moved back up to NE Iowa and public land is no different than where you were hunting pressure wise. To your followers Dan, Iowa doesn't have a Monster Buck behind every tree. Per square mile the state may have a higher number of Big Bucks than some. But you still have to know and understand your quarry in order to harvest one. Video's make it look a lot easier than it really is. Dan's understanding and knowledge of his quarry is what gets him to the point of taking a shot. To harvest or even see a Big Buck. Especially on a public hunting piece of ground. CONGRATS Dan on your harvest!!! I know what you went thru and the video only portrays a minuscule amount of the actual hunt itself.

[@Potatabuds]

That buck taught us all a lesson. Thanks DAN

[@Amiyelvovna]

I thought you were making a fake hunt video when I heard that buck. Just knew it was a prank and one of your buddies with fake antlers was about to trot into frame. Action! Cut! That sounded pretty wicked indeed and you’re right she did come by to thank you! 😂😂

[@davechristel5408]

Crazy grunting, congratulations!

[@jimfunk9992]

Congratulations dan. Nice to have friends like that good people.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

That was something else, I thought it was you Dan the first few minutes I’m like what is that. Never heard anything like that! So cool, what a hunt! Wow

[@chadbinette3201]

Could you imagine getting a picture of the hunting beast in the wild on your trail cam. I'ld never leave that spot haha

[@ThePjpulvermacher]

i know im latte to the party on this video but wow!what crazy amount of grunting. and the first shot? he didnt move!!!! complete chaos!!!!

[@teddypace]

Awesome hunt!!! That grunting was unreal! Congrats Dan. 🏹🦌

[@paulmount1119]

Love your buddy carrying the most important thing T.P.!

[@markeverson5849]

Man I think that buck grunt would scare you to death if it was in the dark!! that was the grunt of a beast:-)😢 now I know that any kind of a grunt is a good grunt :-) haha. good hunting Dan! waving a hand from the Ozarks. my handle used to be the Wisconsin kid -😅

[@aaronbage4413]

Good job Dan 👏 That grunting reminds me of a death metal show I went to once

[@mcw-lg2dm]

Holy cow, the only time I've ever heard a grunt like that is when my 5 year old daughter got ahold of my call! Insane.

[@brob-zy8zi]

That was awesome vocalization. He only gets this a few weeks out of the year. He was spitting his best game. 😂

[@deangray3727]

Great video Dan. One of best that I’ve seen in a while. You truly are a hunting beast for sure 👍🏼💪🏼💯💯

[@Rayocalypse]

Great content, Love the raw footage. Microphone windshield would be a great addition to the setup.

[@chancehutcheson621]

DAN we need a “got me another one” compilation

[@aaronwhitaker5984]

Congratulations ! But the X L sticker on the shirt. 😂😂😂

[@DavidBridge-u8d]

Great job after going through all that I figured when he found the keys he was gonna have some good luck You got some great looking spots

[@JimBowSlice]

What's it like for the big buck serial killer to be in such a target rich environment? How awesome congrats Dan never give up!

[@qcfishing7051]

Love the videos. I never grew up hunting so KZbin has been my main teacher. I feel like I have a decent base knowledge at this point, but your channel always manages to teach me new things. Still after my first archery buck here in Iowa.

[@kingdr111]

That buck sounded like a drunk dude trying to pick up chicks on his way home from the bar at 4AM. 🦌🤪

[@reesehowells680]

my VXR does that sometimes too with my peep. I've made it a habit that every time I hook up my thumb release it's puts enough tension on the cable that I can turn the peep in the direction it needs to go for a clear sight picture. it's a temporary fix to a string that's still breaking in. I know you've probably shot a million times with that bow and so have I but it still stretches and moves over time. I've had my peep readjusted and it still does the same thing. I love your content and I love the knowledge you have about whitetails. Keep dropping those hammers!

[@shawnkane7152]

Good to see you made it back to Iowa Dan! Such a terrible disease, can’t imagine how or what it makes a Deer feel like. Probably the same as cancer made myself feel. Having a redemption season to make up for last season, great video as always, Dan!🦌🙏

[@Pollyeverything]

How lucky was that finding your Keys!!!! Thats luck!!!

[@nicholasorlando769]

Dan , you make my day when I see your face. Your a beast dude

[@danlindenberger4865]

Dan when you are walking in about half way through the video where those green balls are all on ground you come to a log across the trail and there is a brand freshly cut. You then say when you are in tree the trail almost looks too good like it was trimmed. Not sure if you saw that or if someone has already said that. Just an observation. Ps one day we will meet and it will be my pleasure to shake your hand and say thank you for doing it like the average guy. God bless you and Carol and the entire family and to the entire Hunting Breast family.

[@josho8314]

Your silhouette at the 48 minute mark made it look like you were hunting out of a saddle! 😉

[@tommarrotte7796]

Dan I can’t believe you fricken found your keys walking. Lindly back to the truck . Way to end the curse with a very vocal 9 pntr. You are the big buck killer 🦌👍🏻

[@josephburke6195]

Awsome adventure as always Dan never a dull moment. Congrats on the Buck!!

[@HuntingFactor]

Way to go Dan ! Awesome hunt ! I knew your season would get better 👍🏼🦌 5 more years and I’ll be hunting Iowa 🤞🏼👍🏼🦌

[@markabney]

That was a great story Dan!! Congrats on the Iowa buck!!! Hope to see one on the ground from Indiana this year!!! Booner or bust

[@pantera3336]

I always leave the antenna on my truck finger tight so I can use it to get in when needed be. Also a couple wood wedges in the bed!

[@seume]

The way those grunts sounded I thought it might be a joke, wow those were crazy.

[@bradcrook7122]

Congratulations Dan, sweet buck!! Nice pump station missile!!😊👊🏼

[@tommylayton1814]

Great video like the way you do explain what your doing.

[@kevinanderson4610]

First congratulations Dan! Way to stay positive throughout a ton of adversity. It gives a newbie like me hope. It also tells me to not get so frustrated from my mistakes in the woods. Second, I thought for sure that grunting was another hunter messing with you.

[@dionysis84]

That’s the most insane grunting I’ve ever heard in my life

[@dionysis84]

That buck had that blue chew in his system

[@garrettstraffon608]

That was an incredible hunt and encounter. Amazing grunts.i seen another pa guy in the Ohio woods the other day and he had a beast stand and that was the first time I got to put my hands on one and man that is a sweet light stand! Super nice

[@greatlakesjoe4004]

I love your video, it is real & not someone on private land under a feeder hunting deer that have names. Keep it real I love it !! Great job on a good mature buck 🦌

[@cowman540]

Great job Dan . crazy grunting.never heard one that long.atleast you overcome and adapted to presead on with the hunt .loosen your keys then find them in the dark ,God shined on you on this hunt. Congrats on a heck of a hunt Dan

[@ChristopherLaky]

Congrats Dan! Way to stick with it!

[@Seeking_Solitide]

Insane grunts! Congrats Dan!

[@WildmanCFH]

The hero Dan to the rescue. Great job

[@Chesswithwhitetails]

Geez Dan. Love the shirt

[@michiganwoodsman2199]

We've met a few times. Ive killled 20 something pope and youngs in Michigan and the same in Ohio on my lease. And half a dozen ish bear. Dan i used to hunt a spot where i could shoot a doe a day and i did for years. Tons and tons and tons of deer. Ive killed hundreds. But......... like you beast man! Ive learned so so many lessons. First im so sorry you didn't get that buck, or maybe you did im heading out hunting and wont be able to finish until later. My point in this. Im late 30s now and i had to switch to a crossbow due to back surgery. "Army vet" im more like a snuper in a ghillle suit now. And staying back from that shoulder a touch and one lung and liver and gut will kill almost 90 percent! Worst case i get the dog. A deers shoulders are a nightmare due to deflection and hollow spots. Anyway good luck and you are the ONLY guy i watch anymore. Ps my 12 year old shot a booner early october and hes had two open heart surgerys. And in sep he shot a black bear in the UP Michigan. If you ever want to hunt mi pm me.

[@j5183]

That's shirt is awesome 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TREADELSEWHERE]

Right b4 u said theres no cut branches. I swear moments ago when u had a downed tree in front of you, it looked like it had a fresh man made cut on one of the branches

[@paulmarciniak8935]

Wut is with that limb sawed off on that down tree in creek bottom? Awesome video as always tho Dan! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@davenitz4024]

Holy crazy you found your Keyes..Lord love's you

[@Bobbers_Outdoors]

Those grunts were insane 😲

[@Colemanade]

Very cool hunt. Congrats Dan!

[@jd8745]

I was wondering how ya came up w/ that title.. had to watch til the end.. that buck was a lunatic w/ a hard on! Love it!

[@wildturkey8752]

Congratulations. Can’t wait to see the next one.
