Upper Michigan deer migration challenge Day 1

[@mas845]

Ok, no more dogs.

[@seanwilliams5447]

Cool video Dan, I live a few miles down the road from Snipe Lake Pub. From what I’ve seen over the years is that you need to get at least north of Covington to see deer migration. I’ve hunted Iron County for years & have never seen a big migration. It’s the Great Lake shore regions and places that get lake effect snow. Great video by the way!

[@justintanner7020]

The only channel ur gonna see deer 🦌 huntin done in 2-1/2++ feet of snow!!!! The Oldman is truly a beast!! HUNTIN BEAST!!🦌

[@Ryan_Erkkila]

That iron county 11 pointer had no idea how lucky he was looking into the eyes of the “serial killer” himself like that and get a free pass! I love it that you guys made it up to the UP! Good luck!

[@billweihl2859]

As a hunter from Michigan and have hunted the UP for close to 25 years it's a different kinda hunting up there and you can see why we have the deer loss we have every year up there from starvation. If you can find those pockets of deer yards you will see a lot of deer every sit. Snow shoes are almost a must have when going up there otherwise you will work your butt off just scouting around. I love to see you guys make this a annual trip along with the others that participated in your annual challenges anyhow. What's always amazed me hunting up there and the gentleman at the bar hit it on the head is that the deer have it bred into them on where the migration routes are from year to year but just the opposite meaning in the spring time and summer they will return back to their original home and I have years of trailcam pictures to show this. Best of luck up there fellas cause you will earn it. Be safe out there and looking forward to the next video.

[@jackc.3079]

Best of luck, you will need it.

[@normankaster917]

Get that dog a damn kid to play with... holy wah.... My wife even wanted to know what the hell I was trying to listen to. I said hell if I know 🤷 but I never skipped over it. Ya know I didn't want to miss out on any important info about a location... Not gonna lie, you guys make me so damn nervous when you start showing maps and talking about county lines and cedar swamps it gives me 🥶 thinking about it, and I find myself scouring the videos looking for distinct trees or terrain features of the area your in just to keep my mind at ease about the places I hunt and have figured out just hoping that I don't see anything familiar.

[@mikekobussen4299]

As far as I’m concerned the thicker the peanut butter the better!! That sandwich looks absolutely delicious!!!

[@EnglishLakeBDS]

That dog was about ridiculous and hard to listen to and that is a ridiculous amount of jelly for a PB&J lol

[@tristaneaslick3199]

Awesome video! Nice to see you guys in the upper peninsula of my state lol by far my favorite part of the state . At least it's only a couple hour drive for me to get up there lol

[@mattmarkowicz]

Got my first deer of the year. Thanks for keeping me motivated Dan!

[@myronlaidler8034]

My best friend had a cabin on 240 ac.in North west Marquette county and would hunt it all of firearm season.His party (4) all knew the migration trails and would set up accordingly.He in 1995 saw 93 deer pass by his shack in 1 day 12 were bucks and he killed a old wide 10 pt. Can't remember the year but they got 40" of snow over a 24 hr period and could not drive any where even though they had installed chains on their truck tires.His brother snowshoed to a Snowmobile trail and put up a "HELP" sign.A snowmobile came to the cabin and transported him to the nearest phone where he summonsed help and they were happy to see a Giant front loader pull up in front of the cabin even though it cost them a $1,000.00. Cabin was 19 miles off a main highway.Split 4 ways it was worth it.The deer migrated north to a deer yard near Skanee, they didn't leave until there was near 18"of snow so timing was every thing...

[@Weaselcamp1]

Dan if you want to hunt the migration trails, you have to hunt the U.P. counties were it really snows. Iron county is not one of them, Gogebic, Ontonagon, Houghton & Keweenaw county get way more snowfall, and have/had way better migrations.

[@forrestmarissa2938]

So awesome you guys were so close to my area. That guy is a Debbie downer, saying there's no Big Bucks up here. Or he just doesn't find them. I'm right on the northern Ashland and iron county border. That would be a dream to just be the guy who can show you some spots around here. I've found a lot of giant sheds that tells me there's big bucks around that my cams did not catch. I was on a 3 year Chase for a 160s class, all woods no Ag fields but I think he got shot right off the road back in mid August. Well anyway hope you at least see a giant big woods buck and thanks for the videos.

[@CDP151]

Glad to see that bar is back open.

[@tylerlee5349]

Woah now; you got to put peanut butter on both sides of bread. Then jelly on one side. That seals the jelly in the middle.

[@wiscokid9890]

Only the strangest people apply peanut butter to one side 🤣

[@hookslinger736]

The dog didn't annoy me too much Dan lol. Good video and it's cool to see you guys try something new. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@brentthebloodhound]

This is awesome! I love seeing Michigan deer hunting. Specifically the UP or northern Michigan

[@bryanmaness621]

Thats how you make a PB&J sandwich with a big glass of milk lol

[@joelkrystof5877]

Great footage looking forward to seeing the rest of the hunt

[@keving2371]

That dog is high strung wow

[@russclewley6945]

I hunted the migration route in the UP at our cabin for years. It is very weather triggered and regulated. Factor in the wolf population which intensified migration as the wolves follow them and drive them, at least in the North Eastern UP. You hit it right and boom you can score, Miss it your in for a lonely time in the woods.

[@bryannikkila9751]

Hello from Higgins lake Michigan

[@JohnAvalanche]

I understand Dan didn't have much control over the dog but man... Playing fetch ends at 11min2sec had to fast forward

[@shawnevans4662]

hahaha looks like you put a whole deer liver on that sandwich!

[@erscustoms911]

Great content bros!! Did I hear your here for a week? I’ll keep feeding them beets and carrots in my yard so y’all give me more great content lol 😂! Good luck and watch the wolfs 🐩

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Man i wanted to throw that dogs toy out in the middle of an interstate highway. lol interesting episode. You dont see much "upper p" hunting on the KZbin.

[@chadbontekoe3122]

Little birdie said there are some decent migratory trails In gogebic county running into Wisconsin. Land o lakes

[@underdogoutdoors]

What an amazing place, rugged conditions.

[@greyhawk-111]

If you haven't watched yet, skip the 3:00 - 11:00 minute section, unless you enjoy watching and listening to an annoying dog drown out the conversation with panting, running around, clicking toenails, etc. Sheesh.

[@garrettpresnell9575]

Wow just started watching this....Someone get that dam dog!!!!!!!!

[@jromem7313]

Years ago I was in a bar up there and I mentioned to my buddies how the deer would migrate and they laughed at me. I got made fun of pretty good lol. All the locals did clear the air and took my side. Love that u.p and there are some hogs up there. Good luck guys I hope you have success!

[@jerryscray1789]

My daughter goes to Michigan snowmobile riding a lot in winter she says gotta be careful deer love using the trails

[@bobbygreen2291]

Dan you won’t believe this ,,I am 66 and have never ate a peanut butter n jelly sandwich,, i have tasted a few and did not like them ,,and I am not a funny eater , I eat turnip greens three or four times a week and absolutely love them.

[@mountainman6549]

That PBJ sandwich had me laughing. I would have to eat it with a fork then check my blood sugar!

[@archeryhuntermike6701]

Great video Dan, thanks now I’m going to get out of bed and make me a PB&J sandwich got me craving one LOL

[@keving2371]

What about Rick ,,,,,,Is he trailing behind you guys ?

[@wiscokid9890]

I drink 2 large cups of milk when I eat my own PB&Js. I might have to drink 2/3 gallon to get one of Dan's fancy sammiches down 🤣

[@altorry1083]

Dan do you need a couple slices of bread for that peanut butter and jelly.

[@bryanroberts]

Pb and J that I could get down with! Except I'm a creamy JIF guy!

[@chrismartin5166]

That dog sure needs some attention. 🙂

[@jessiereniewicz108]

Dan that's exactly how I make my PBJ'S.

I couldn’t hear what he said about the old timers taking a chain saw and dropping a cedar tree. What was the reason they did that?

[@jerryscray1789]

Deer will feed on it

How come no public land challenge with the hunting public?

You would have to ask the hunting public... Hopefully they resume this year.

holy hell that dog ate a bag of meth 5min before you started filming.

[@jeffpops5290]

No sound from the new guys on video about 13minute mark

[@thehuntingbeast]

Working fine for me.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Next time guys

[@jaredstauber9780]

Great video but I hope you guys realize now that the so called migration trails you guys were looking at are just trails of the deer going to private property where ppl feed the deer year round. You gotta go further north to find the migration.

[@thehuntingbeast]

The trails we were looking at were in the deer yards and in peoples yards. We missed the migration but there are several distict migration areas and we were hunting near the smaller one around Iron mountain. We ended up hunting where the deer were yarded up because we were late for the migration.

[@jaredstauber9780]

@@thehuntingbeast oh I thought you guys were in iron River cause that's where snipe lake pub is. The other thing is I wouldn't believe a lick from the dnr for Michigan when it comes to there stats and info but that's just what I've found out living here for 34yrs. But keep up the sweet videos.

[@thehuntingbeast]

@@jaredstauber9780 We had maps of all the migration wroughts and deer yards from radio collar tracking survey maps.

[@normankaster917]

Shhhh 🤐

[@matthewbell4136]

I don't normally criticize videos but it's hard enough to hear you in a lot of your videos even when there isn't a dog playing catch. You gotta edit that stuff out. Love your videos though and have learned a lot from you from the past few years

[@thehuntingbeast]

In a perfect world I would rather not have the dog in the video either but, its pretty hard to "edit" a dog out of footage. I can either use it, or not use it, and when Im a guest I don't tell others what to do with their dog. I felt it was a great conversation that needed to be used. Your welcome to skip past if you dont want to or cant hear the conversation. I hear it just fine.

[@RalphERo824]

@@thehuntingbeast no problems hearing you guys talking over the dog playing fetch.

[@bradbareis2798]

It's real, that's what's so good about the beast. Love the dog wanting to play. Your in his house!!

[@matthewbell4136]

@@thehuntingbeastI did not intend to upset anyone. I see the potential (not that it isn't already well established) that this channel has, and think it is the most educational deer hunting channel on the internet. I do however think that there is room for improvements as there are with everything in life. Take my advice for what it's worth but I feel that the audio and video quality of this channel lacks sometimes. I will continue to watch this channel as I have for years because I enjoy and respect your intellectual approach towards deer hunting. I do think that if someone wasn't familiar with the channel watched this as their first video would be off put by it. I think a summary of what was said would have been more appropriate. I do know that it takes more time and you are busy. Only trying to help.

[@decaturridgebees8761]

@@matthewbell4136sometimes you just have to accept things the way they are. It’s not a production quality channel. And for that you don’t have to wade through 50% annoying sponsor ads. what you do get is an education. Dan could do better with his vids just like some production quality channels could do better with education. I’ll take what i get from the Beast!

[@hondas2ooo]

R u guys no longer shooting with prime bows?

We still shoot Prime. I broke my rest and have been using my back up bow.

[@mikes6252]

Love ya Dan but the audio was so bad and the dog was super annoying. Seriously, tell that guy to put the dog up for a few minutes. Super distracting and the dog breathing was all I could hear.

[@JDJONES1]

Turned the video off because of the dog

[@mikehofer432]

How about you give the deer a break? Do you really need to shoot more? Ridiculous

[@grinder881]

That dog was so loud next to the microphone I couldn't hear what the guys were saying. I turned off the video.

[@roberttaylor8261]

3 ft of snow in Iron Mt?? Someone’s on crack! They don’t normally have a ft on the level all winter. Ironwood be differant story. Real migration runs are in Grand Marias ,Hubert,Newberry an Lakefield Cutis ares. The Lake Superior Water Shed usualy happens 2nd week of December after Big Snow an Wind chills around 10. That’s why they Migrate for ThermalCover an winter Cedar Ranges.
