Where hunters don't go...

[@markeverson5849]

This reminds me so much growing up in Wisconsin but living out in my log cabin I built with my wife and four kids hunting and living in the woods scouting and tracking deer outside of Mosinee it was a good life when the kids were small and the wife was still home and hadn't run away so many times I miss it this is an eye-opener! I lived all over Wisconsin and hunted and even sold out my Homestead in the leather camps and move to the up mich Wilderness and live for 8 years off grid traveling back and forth to my Homestead up Brushy Creek outside of Calico Rock Arkansas on Lake Norfolk. I've got a busted back a spinal cord injury I slowed down a little bit at 67 years and abandoned for 14 years😢 but these videos are inspiring me to get back to bow hunting! but it's going to mean an awful lot of work and I got no help whatsoever 😢to drag deer to lift them and hoist them ,always alone,, I got no help whatsoever in this small Ozark town. been here for 13 years and don't have a buddy I can rely on😢or trust ! What ever hapend!

[@kayo2764]

Prayers for you, friend.

[@karmas.busdriver]

videos like this really help me refine my scouting work. At nearly 50 years old, it does get harder to find the depth of hunting/scouting videos you can really still learn from.

[@kayo2764]

You guys are awesome for recognizing and addressing litter issues. Great video 💯

[@charlie4339]

😂😂 it’s great watching him hold on to twigs like a life preserver

[@davidzellers3537]

That damn dog barking would drive me crazy. I know it wouldn’t bother the deer but it would me.

[@richn2852]

I went through a new property the other day wet cedar swamp with tangles, every high spot with a chair size and table size mound had bed under every cedar, funny I know how and what I’m looking for watching you changed my way of hunting scouting dramatically that spot had both fall and wintering activity, I still could figure out what spots the bucks liked by hysterical rub sign and the new rubs looking forward to this new piece , just wanna say a big thanks for changing my vision on learning and still learn the land.

[@chenoabryan8458]

I’m just now after 5 years of relentless hunting figured out the black tail action… got my fork at 12 yards archery. Oregon is no joke on the creek bottoms. I plan on using the tree saddle for the 5 by 6

[@StealthTRD]

​@@chenoabryan8458 curious about your profile pic?

[@lungbustercrnvr1384]

Coolest shirt almost ever! God Bless you and yer's Dan.

[@skdrcr]

Awesome video, this is actually one of the best scouting videos I've seen from you guys. Very informative. Excellent work Thank you for making me a better hunter

[@sthompson447]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I learn a great deal.

[@chopperchopper1418]

In my opinion, the best 👌

[@stanleybuck4195]

We love natural blinds made out of branches, logs and blow downs. They work great.

[@mattevanswastaken]

I took a friend duck hunting on a small backwoods lake for wood ducks. He's a smoker which is fine. But I'm sitting in the blind and I see a cigarette butt floating by. Last time I ever invited him out.

[@wallygatorfilmsoutdoors1506]

Dan wearing the perfect camouflage!

[@johnrichardson9368]

Good stuff Dan can’t wait to see a couple hunts in there.

[@dustinschrock7803]

Thanks Dan for sharing this info!

[@Sonja00]

Wish we had good deer hunting in upper peninsula Michigan

[@bg5215]

I do admit to throwing out apple cores and banana peals. Everything else is litter. Especially shotgun shells. Shotgun shells are a great way to turn non-hunters into anti-hunters.

[@brockmannwells]

Same here, feeding the raccoons or the insects.

[@ajdrew252]

Yep. If it's biodegradable then OK. Cig filters and plastic shells are definitely trash that take forever to break down. If only all hunters respected the woods...

[@Outrunninaround.]

I agree. 🦌

[@jgadventures4161]

​@ajdrew252 as a hunter and a smoker my wife hates doing my laundry ive been cussed a few times for butt's in my pocket......trash gives away location and that's a bad thing for serious hunters

[@ericbrooks8573]

Keep adding to the "plan"....makes hunting more fun when there is confidence involved

[@JacobSklenarTheWildCalling]

Was great to get to scout with you Dan! I look forward to us putting a smack down on a buck here this year 👊🏼

[@davidschwantes4628]

Great video, guys! Keep up the good work!

[@chopperchopper1418]

Everytime Dan crosses a creek , I hope he gets wet ! Everytime. 😆

[@Seeking_Solitide]

Great video guys! Keep up the great work.

[@rorynelson7548]

Dang Dan that mustache is on point dude. I'm working on mine but I doubt something like yours is even close to obtainable for me. Two thumbs up man. I wish you'd make a couple videos on how you are able to get your mustache to that point.i really think that if you keep growing it, there's a good chance you will get a world class buck this year.

[@bowhunter9288]

Great video.

[@EvilvonScary]

Always leave it cleaner than when i came in. Buts always went into pockets and taken out

[@ryanb1314]

Love these scouting videos they really help me look for similar spots in my neck of the woods. Thanks Dan

[@briargoatkilla]

Haha. I walked 2.3 miles into a turkey spot this morning. Got in there well before daylight. By 8 AM there was three more hunters and 3 ladies walking their dogs. On a freakin' Tuesday.

[@samhart1971]

What them ladies look like

[@briargoatkilla]

@@samhart1971 typical trio. One good, one a lil chunky, one got hit with the ugly stick.

[@davidthompson1529]

Can't wait to see what happens there this fall for you.

[@bradcrook7122]

Good stuff fellas, good stuff!! 👊🏼

[@Camera1931-p5v]

Don't smoke!!! Great job!

[@colbykinney5633]

Love that shirt 😂

[@evancross8174]

When I was a smoker, I would bring small Gatorade bottles for cig butts. They stink so bad

[@MeetMe-at-TheCreek]

@dan infant . Ever set up in a large white pine? Fall/winter still has needles for cover.

[@colinleeflang5032]

This vid really gave me the a ha moment when you got onto that soft edge by the tamarack bog. Also seems like a deadly duo in the later part of the vid, Dan and his protégé 👍. Btw why don't you guys rock the tidewe hip boots? I go everywhere in mine now, never get wet lol

[@thehuntingbeast]

Trying not to support Chinese products.

[@davidthompson1529]

@@thehuntingbeast Ah, good to know. 👍

[@JacobSklenarTheWildCalling]

Thank you! I think we’ll make a good duo as well👊🏼

[@StealthTRD]

​@@thehuntingbeast i thought you liked tidewe? I bought some rangefinders cause i thought you suggested 😂

[@JimBowSlice]

We have used cigarettes to wind bump deer, I'm a smoker but American spirts gives smell proof bags out and I carry those when I hunt and fish so I don't leave my butts. But I rarely smoke while deer hunting unless I shoot something or my hunt goes to crap.

[@kevinanderson4610]

Dan I really needed to hear and see this. I met you and the crew in Columbus. I’ve been scouting, but the pieces of the puzzle aren’t coming together for me yet. I’m struggling with reading the sign I have found. Green up is happening fast and I’m not feeling confident in my scouting so far.

[@chenoabryan8458]

U got my attention after u said bass fishing

[@jax9224]

Support from Southern Indiana. I smoke still at 43 years old and just like everyone else I started because it was cool but I hate everything about them including the handful of nasty cig butts I pull out of my pockets at the end of the day. I don’t smoke in my house so I have to empty them in the outside trash. I have been putting the butts in my pockets for at least 15 years so it a habit and I do it even when I’m somewhere where they throw them in their yard and they tell me to just throw them out there and I refuse. I hate the taste and the smell and the $9 and change per pack each day as well. Grrrrrrr.

[@StealthTRD]

Nasty lol

[@MichaelSMITHERS-xv2ow]

Dans mustache kills mature bucks too , it has its own line of tree stands too

[@AnotherAshleyOutdoors]

At about 28 minutes is that a historical rub with a really high rub above it?

[@patriotmjb]

I’m wondering. Even with muck boots on do you usually get wet feet anyways?

[@underdogoutdoors]

Lower pressure seems to be more important than terrain, always changing, impossible to get the jump on it for too long & that's part of the draw.

[@normanphair8488]

Don't give away all our secrets

[@paulcrave3112]

That property is full of interior transitions.

[@josephreichart7545]

Backyard hunt ,nice

[@markfulks-uq9vt]

I a long time smoker and from the start I decided to use a earth scent wafer canister to put all my asses and coherent butts in and carry it all out with me , when I get through with a smoke I just pop the top back on and it seals the odor off really well just a tip to others with the same bad habit and always leave the area like it was before I ever got there!!!

[@jamesbrace3212]

GOT A FEELING DAN WAS A BUCK DEER IN HIS PAST LIFE.

[@brianwhiteside5062]

Get out of my blind!! Lol 😂

[@arrowen39]

After the fun part is over and the work starts …How the heck do you get a buck out of a floating bog??

[@thehuntingbeast]

I use a sled and pull...

[@TenPointTyrone]

I don't smoke when I'm in the woods in the few times that I did the cigarette butts went in a bottle I had with me and went back out just like any other trash I might have

[@kennygibson1164]

From the sign that your point out, I can tell there's going to be a serial killer in that area!! You might want to use caution.

[@walterquick8649]

Parking lots are HOT now, lol UTUBERS are telling us

[@backlund5]

Dan, is this where you shot your Wisconsin buck this year?

[@thehuntingbeast]

no

[@WVChad]

Dan, I sent an email but haven’t heard back about you signing one of your hats from the store if I purchase it from the website.

[@thehuntingbeast]

Send Rick a message and he will make it happen.

[@WVChad]

@@thehuntingbeast Thank you very much. I’ll have to figure out how to reach him. I have no social media platforms.

[@thehuntingbeast]

@@WVChad Should be a spot for a not when you purchase... Just say "Ricky, please have Dan sign the hat!"

[@WVChad]

@@thehuntingbeastPerfect. Thank you again. I was unable to make it to the Ohio Deer Expo this year and was planning on purchasing one at the show. 👍

[@majohnson73]

gotta slow the camera movement down but great video

[@chrisscott3349]

Inspiring!

[@copperjacket00]

your doing what I do , cool

[@thomasduffey42]

Dan, did You or Rick ever kill a buck on that ground you did video of 2 yrs ago? The one with the star fish..lol

[@thehuntingbeast]

No. But we had a close call with a good one.

[@MattDowns-hg2fc]

I smoke but not in the woods and not when I'm hunting

[@outdoorsman9384]

Dan what are you weighing in now a days?

[@thehuntingbeast]

Right now im 215... 190 would be ideal

[@Nick-hv5tt]

fitlers form cigs are fiberglass therefore it is not bio degradable so yeah that sick to do lol.

[@calhiser8265]

It's litter same with spent shot gun she'll. On the other hand toilet paper is biodegradable 😊

[@HawaiiOutdoorAdventures]

What’s up with the dogs???? 😂

[@thehuntingbeast]

There was some private ground across the river from us.

[@dennisst.pierre210]

Lots of milkweed

[@jodyferguson3068]

I don't smoke but I think it's disgusting that someone would leave 40 cigarette butts in one spot he must have been there multiple times littering the woods

[@kreggdanuser2963]

Cigarette is the smoker, you’re just the sucker!

[@InOutdoorsLLC]

I dont smoke. Its absolutely disgusting how people think its ok to throw their trash in the woods

[@billkitchin4123]

I'm a smoker and I do not leave my butts all over

[@raymondjones6024]

I put my cigarette butts in a empty earth scent wafer container and ashes and close the lid to contain the scent.

[@kylebailey8498]

Leave my blind alone
