How far back from sign or food are bucks bedded?

[@chriswest7468]

It's a treat to watch other hunters truly enjoy the scouting experience. Woodsmanship is dying, yet that's what keeps some of us feeling most alive!

[@roosterdope6778]

Definitely not dying around me lol stands 3 miles back around me

As far as I am concerned, this has got to be the best scouting video I have ever seen. The humor just held me all the way through.

I swatted at the imaginary mosquitoes every time I heard them in my earbud, lol can you tell I'm used to scouting in the summer...

Really enjoyed it. Some great insight and a true woodsman.

[@robgrubb420]

I enjoy the scouting more than picking the trees. thanks for sharing this Dan.

Scouting is finding sighn and a tree to hunt the sighn u find. ..

Watching the masters at work...exciting

[@AndyP_justhunt]

Great video, seeing the scouting process is always helpful! Every scenario has different results and its fun to see how you and Eric break it down.

[@daveryan9152]

Always great content Dan! We always learn from a day in the woods whether fruitful or not.

You and Eric seem to have a lot of fun and enjoy the process. Great video. Hope you hang and hunt this spot this coming season. The Raspberry Buck.

Love watching you brother just wish we could scout here in the south like y’all during the summer but unfortunately we’d die from snake bites, ticks,chiggers,alligators,wasps and several other things lol especially in our swamps 🤣👍🏻

I feel bad for people who don't understand this type of life or that have never experienced it.

We love Ricky... His reactions make picking on him fun. But trust me, he picks on me pretty hard, so he is getting it back. Ricky is busy working hard at the mobile show in the south while I scout deer so his dedication is appreciated. Looking forward to hopefully getting out with him soon.

[@johnnyarnold9743]

I scout in the summer it's tough snake boots when it's 100 out but deer here change location as soon as temperature drops so it's not much help

[@thehuntingbeast]

Summer as well as spring scouting is not about looking at current sign, its about looking at where they were last fall...

[@travisstearns520]

Love the shirt Dan. Make America great again

[@PBAdventures146]

I have a question... if hunters are hunting the ridge where all those rubs and hunter sign is from, if hunters are in there during deer season, even at night, deer would smell their scent and avoid it wouldn't they? Is it possible that maybe all the sign or majority of it is from gun hunters and not really bow hunters and those bucks may be in there in early season? I have some spots here in MI where it seems like that is the case and just trying to figure out if it is in fact from bow or just gun hunters. Feeding those raccoons is very cool. Glad to see they accepted Eric into the family. Of course, food always helps. 😅

[@thehuntingbeast]

What I see is bucks will tolerate humans in arras they ise at night... Tjey wont tolerate humans in areas they use in daylight... Bucks move all over the place in the cover of darkness and will move to food after the day people are gone to eat.

[@letsgobrandon7297]

I’m replying before watching the video. There’s no distance on how far deer are from food sources. I’ve seen deer day bedding at their food sources. I’ve seen deer travel qtr mile to their food source. Another weird thing I heard people think about deer is that they bed in the same spot every day and travel the same paths everyday. That’s why when u see trails off side of road going up a hill u will see trails for hundreds of yds down the road in many cases.

[@stefanosoderi4152]

If the deer are using that property regularly ie the runs we all find and there is human activity with all the homemade blinds , if there’s a ton of sign there it could very well mean, that those blinds are old ! And the deer are naturally moving through there

There aint a single dry land ridge on public land within 100 miles of that property that does not have guys all over it all hunting season... Pretty obvious mature deer are avoidimng dry land ridges during daylight in this area.

[@boondocksadventures2328]

Dan, first of all you are the MAN! I truly love your videos more for You then where and how you hunt! You should consider a second life in Politics???? Yuck!!! Hahaha. I know I will get blasted for this but, I love hunting whitetail on the ridges in the Northeast and I don't really care to hunt the Swamps like you! I take big bucks every year in Pa and NY, but I really enjoy the beauty and the scenery on the ridges. I see your strategy.......go where others can't or don't want to go and you will find older deer. I do the same with distance. I'm 67 and once I'm a couple miles in I usually have the woods to myself and I'm dry!!! Keep up the good work and let me know if you want to take a week off and enjoy some dry ground for a change?

[@lestaylor8873]

Ah jeez… I am so embarrassed that they made fun of my super awesome blind.

[@johndyer9232]

I've seen deer browse the tips of the new canes and leave the berries. Makes no sense to me.

[@richstafford1245]

I think Dan touched on something important. He referenced drones. Drones already have the capability to carry hunters to their stands. It’s coming make no mistake about it. Also real time in season drone scouting reports are going to be made available probably to the highest bidders or paid subscription. Drones can dissect a 500 acre piece of public in a single morning. Get exact deer count and sex ratios, find specific deer and bedding locations. This technology is so precise you can see sockets where deer shed their antlers from 400 feet up. Someone could pay a drone guy to take these swamps apart piece by piece and never get wet feet doing it. People are fretting about cell cameras. Drones are the real threat to hunting as we know it. It can literally turn killing the biggest deer in any given location into the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel…

[@davidthompson1529]

I agree. Not to mention big brother watching EVERYTHING you do, every moment of the day. It's disturbing.

[@MollyDogg1234]

Anytime I hear a story start out with "drone" or "cell cam", I promptly quit listening to it. The technology "hunters" are using now, makes me sick

[@alexgarete1521]

@@MollyDogg1234I believe in cams but cell cams with real time pictures just isn’t fair. Especially when there’s snow just walk up follow the track for a bit and shoot em. It isn’t hunting

[@Jbird1988]

I enjoy using regular cams. Mostly a fun treat to see what walked by. But I enjoy just looking for sign more....makes me feel like I'm learning woodsmanship. Family gives me crap because I spend more time studying plants in order to ID wild food sources. Feels more rewarding to me.

Regardless of the pressure its pretty rare I run into other hunters at intended kill spots... It happens maybe once a year (1 out of 80 hunts) and I just wave and back out... If someone else is hunting there Im in the wrong spot.
