Everything you show us makes us that much more better hunters. Every video is like sitting in a classroom. I'm looking forward to my first full season hunting beast style....
Only a couple shows do it. Love it.
Dan Sawyer bug repellent will change your life. Treat all the fabric liberally. I like to wear a bandana hanging out from under my hat to cover the sides of my face and neck. I don't even wear deet based bug spray on my face and hands anymore wearing Sawyer treated clothes. So effective it's maddening. Causes the insects to basically be paralyzed before they can bite. Works for deer flys too.
Huge, thanks!

Rick really compliments these videos! The guy is just entertaining to watch. Love his humor plus he seems to be the guy that asks the questions some people who are watching might ask Dan through the screen. Keep up the good work gentleman.
One of my favorite spots to hunt is a “pocket within a pocket” , the little open transition areas within a larger bedding area, almost like an inside hub, seems the deer always end up browsing heavy and congregating in those areas I’m assuming because they feel safe and maybe the browse has more variety due to little more open canopy etc and easier to move around vs thicker bedding around it and move more freely etc , depending on access options a lot of times I end up setting up downwind ( or using thermal advantages if possible ) and hunting all day , 20 or so yards depending on what it looks like away from the pocket so anything cruising downwind or going through it can get an arrow , works out even better when you can pair it with some sort of terrain funnel , awesome spot to let a cam soak to especially if your unfamiliar with an area, thanks Dan and all the beast community for all the content over the years !! Get well Dan!
I definitely enjoy this type of content. A lot of learning that can be done in comparison to similar area features.
Beavers make those big "ditches" or depressions at right angles to the main creek bed. The deer, raccoons, etc. will all use those, but it ain't the deer that dig those out or wear those out. We call 'em "beaver slides" around here. My uncle has entire canal systems dug out by the beavers in his swamp. I've seen a beaver using the slide in my meadow to drag alders into the creek.
Love this scouting especially in this habitat. would like to see more.
Loving this style of scouting/content. Hunting the Florida swamps and it’s different yes but have been able to have some success with small parts of your content to get me a little closer to the deer. Keep ‘em coming brother. Get well soon!
Hey Dan I’d like you to talk more about how deer bed next to rivers without any oxbows. Maybe certain features to look for at different times of the year? Maybe also where some deer would bed if there is a creek running through a finger ridge. Sorry for the loaded question just trying to get some answers because we usually only get one summer scout per year!
Thank you Rick and Dan. I really enjoy the scouting videos
Wow, 10 day impact to deer movement pattern! Very good to know, I never thought it would be that severe. I can only imagine how hunting activity on public land impacts them…
like the up close informative scouting
Love this style of scouting video.
Great job bringing the experience to the viewer. I lost count of how many times I swatted my headphones as I heard mosquitoes "landing" on me.
Very informative. It didn't occur to me that saturated ground can sometimes exaggerate deer sign
Great video Dan and Rick the old school team. Love it!!! Hope you feel better Dan.
Get well soon Dan love the scouting videos there really helpful for learning what to be looking for and when
Great footage, Dan! Love the summer scouting videos 👍
Thank you Dan for all the videos you have really helped me be a better hunter in the last year I watch you DVDs over and over and every time I do I Learn something new!
Thanks for the videos keep them coming they are helpful. Regular people hunting regular spots like most of us. I found a killer spot this weekend hundreds of old runs but nothing within the last year or two very strange thick aspen between hardwoods and a creek bottom. Thinking about a ground blind with some shooting lanes similar to your cattail trail approach.👍
At the 16 minute mark, you were showing a large bed under a tree/ bush. It looked to me as if there was a shed Antler behind it to the right of the trunk?
Observant u are..
Good eye!!!
@@davidthompson1529 thanks. Hoping Dan follows up on it.
Thanks Dan! Feel better soon. I personally like these style scouting videos. I'd like to see you get a big one here in MD on public. Got some nice ones here. Thanks
Great video Dan, I just scouted a very similar area yesterday. The bedding I found was along the cattail edge. Like you I need not find any rubs near the beds. As I was walking out they began to appear 300 yards in, around an interior transition. I believe you have seen this before. Our area has very low deer density so I assume this scenario is common. I am excited for this coming season and enjoy your content, it has been eye opening and inspiring. Best of luck to us all this season and hope you feel better.
Tom
Love the work keep'em coming
Thanks Dan! Love the scouting videos and I learn so much fun watching them. Hope you feel better!
Hope you get well soon Dan, sorry your “sick” but glad we are going to get some content!!!!
Great scouting video guys. Hope you get to feeling better soon. That place looks awesome to me. I seen that deer shed behind that brush tree buck bed.
I strap a MR450 thermacell to me while scouting and it works amazing for the mosquitoes. Thank you Dan and Rick!
Love the bedding area breakdowns that show picking out a tree
Get better, Dan!! I do like these type of videos, cause then I can translate them over to the areas I hunt and figure things out
I love all of the videos! I like when you scout an area and put up a trail camera, and then you show what you have on that trail camera!
Great video Dan/Rick, I like the way you broke it done and showed the sign and the tree you would hunt out of. Would like to see that transferred onto the topo to show treestand location, wind direction you would hunt it on as well as approach trail you would use on that particular wind, especially seeing how area to the right was private and assuming you dont have access.
It can sometimes be easy to find sign but getting insight from the BBSK on where to set up, with what wind and how to access would help others like myself better understand how to implement the approach and execution 😁
Love the scouting videos I'm learning so much!
Good vid...Rick's sense of humor makes it even more entertaining. The part about seeing you fall in the mud..lol.
Have to admit I thought the same thing right when he said it.
Luv ya Dan
These are some great videos. Great to see how you progress through bedding areas and how you analyze sign
Man that place is full of mosquitoes.reminds me of the farm during the rice season.sure looks good place to maybe see a giant this fall great job Dan get well soon
Helpful stuff! Love to see more on the diagram on how you would enter/exit, what winds, etc. access is always toughest to figure for me. Especially larger areas like that where deer could be all over.
Thanks!
Really appreciate these take along scouting videos!
Love the scouting videos Dan! Its cool to see what your seeing and if I would interpret the sign the same way! Hope you get to feeling better! Nice seeing Rick as always!!
Acres, a c r e s... I lost a spelling bee on that one in like 2nd grade, never forgot that one...
Love seeing the process. Cant wait to see you hunt the area
Awesome vid Dan! Always able to look where you are and relate it to the nasty holes I'm trying to figure out 👍
Very good I like watching learning I hunt in upper Michigan lots big woods cedar swamps
Great video Dan ,once again Funny how History repeats its self in the swamp Some of those creek crossings were probably used for generations of deer
Keep up the great work
The scouting videos with you and Rick are sweet. I like how they are detailed and understandable good stuff. Thanks for making them.
Dan, these kinds of videos are what drew me to your channel a long time ago. Love the maps mixed in too to hammer home your concepts. I'm not sure I would have kept my composure like you dudes did with all those mosquitos buzzing ya. Ben's 100 works phenomenal and a little goes a long way. Also, a ThermaCell works well especially when you're standing or sitting in one spot for a time.
This is exactly what I have been looking for as it is exactly like some state land near home. My son and I scouted some last year there and I've been thinking about it and how to approach it ever since.
Love the scouting videos. About as raw as it gets. The info that is.
Nothing like a couple hunting buddies giving each other guff
I’m going out to scout a new area similar to this in my area. I love this kind of content from you!
This past weekend I went scouting on multiply oxbows. My friend didn’t want to go in because he didn’t believe me bucks bed in oxbows. He’s a lazy hunter so I had to convince him where ever you’re NOT willing to go 90% chance bucks will bed there. I went in and just like what Dan showed there’s trails, escape route, lots of beds, plants chewed off and scrapes.
Jewel weed. Take a leaf and move it under water and it shimmies.
I don't believe those tests, but hey, a good excuse to not work!
I love the scouting videos. They are so informative. It would be really cool if you did a “virtual scouting” giveaway, where the winner sends you an aerial map and you mark it up for them. Thanks for all you do and get well soon.
I've got a killer place to Bowhunt. Some older bucks. One has over a 23" inside spread. Dan you should come hunt with me sometime.
Can i come lmao
Can’t wait to follow your hunts this season.
Great content Dan! Please keep it coming.
Hey Guys, Really like this video. a good scouting tutorial. Would like to see more like this. Its some of the best stuff out there, Reality hunting !! Personally, I ve seen enough of the celebrity hunting shows over food plots and bagged foods in front of stands and blinds where no one hunts but them.
Sorry about the Covid hitting you, it’s interesting about the deer avoiding the impact on the scouting. Gonna head out tomorrow to those pot hole swamps rain is scarce here this year so might be good. Good luck with getting better thanks for what you as always.
Great video! If you see this comment I have a request that maybe you can make happen. I know you have experience in and around Jackson county. Me and my old man typically hunt between millston and black river. We’ve killed some deer over the years up there but to say it’s been difficult would be an understatement. I’d love to see you do some deer scouting or even hunting videos up there. (Maybe even a public land challenge?) To see how someone like yourself pieces apart the +180k acres of public.
These scouting vids with Rick are absolutely the best!! You guys hotta keep tag teaming vids 👍 👌
I def heard that grunt. Might be worth setting up on but lord help you you better play the wind
Interesting thanks.!!!
One thing I learned is never put trust in a camera 100% Watched too many big dear skirt cameras too many times and never got one photo of them. And I put my cameras six or 8 feet high and angle them down.
Like the content and how you explain everything at the end
Needed this Dan thank you sir!!
Good stuff
Dan and Rick
love the scouting maybe do a spotlighting one again...
It’d be a really cool transition if when you hunt this spot later on this year, you edit in some of this scouting footage, no matter if the hunt is successful or not. And I love when you work in trail cam pictures to tell the story as well, even it’s a blurry picture of a possible swamp buck in the background that you may or may not encounter. And then guess as to why he’s there or didn’t show up that day.
Another great video. I would have liked to see a satellite image showing the actual trails and vegetation, if you could do that without giving the spot away. It would help tie in the “E-scouting” component for me. I hope that you have a speedy recovery form the KungFlu
Moved so I've been scouting like crazy this month. Dude...the bugs, poison ivy, and thorns can get lost! Haha. Misery....but I love it
Thanks for the knowledge! Get well bud
Trails? Those look like cattle paths! Nettles, mosquitoes...all you need is poison ivy and it's definitely a deer haven.
I thought I wanted it bad and was about as hard core as anyone. But I'm saying no to those mosquitoes. Nightmare
It’s funny how you only had that one picture with that time lapsed. Just goes to show how much scent gets left behind.
Ticks, mosquitos and COVID yet wild animals seem to thrive
Dan thank you guys for the video it deff teaches a lot. Im curious to know if you guys left your clothes and boots outside prior to going in the woods or if any scent control was used. Since you said your guys presence probably affected the area....
I put a cell camera out on private Tuesday and had a doe and fawn on cam 3 hours later and then again the next day. Either those public deer are extremely skittish or they’re not using it as much as you think
Same here, I get pics 2 hours after I leave my farm regularly, I still like Dan's experiment with this be very good info on habits of public land deer and how they relate to people
you know I can relate to this, early spring before the snow left I went out to scout new area, on public land and found some promising sign, set up a camera. went back a month later. tons of pictures. so I decided to go a little deeper. but this time the bugs were deadly black flies were terrible, I just wanted to set it up and get out of there. I set the camera up gps'd my location and left came back a month later. went to my pinned location and nothing. figured a bear got to it or maybe I made a mistake. I went back another 20 or so yards, and came across a stand.. unfortunately I did not see this stand when I set up my camera. if I did I honestly would have looked somewhere else. wasnt impressed that someone actually took my camera they could have left a note, stood in front waved to let me know they were set up there I would have welcomed it and looked somewhere else.. so now I'm out a camera luckily it wasn't an expensive one. so I have decided since I had experienced this for the first time ...this area would be great to put my climbing stand to hunt from. I'm not going anywhere lol..keep up the good videos dan!
Good stuff guys. Get better
Great vid Dan, can't wait to see if there's a shooter in there. Also very curious to see how long it takes for the deer to get back to normal after disturbing the area. I put cameras out on public land June 30th in New York, in an area with no cell reception, won't be pulling the SD cards until September 1st.
Support from Southern Indiana
Good luck with the Covid and better luck(skill) with the hunting season
Awesome, I enjoyed the content
No need for a food plot in there, with all that Jewelweed.
Love it!
Good stuff
I could use some help. I currently hunt heavy ag land where the only deer habitat is pockets and lines of trees along small creeks, and patches of grass where the ground is too wet/soft to drive a tractor over. Pockets of which can be hundreds of yards to miles apart from each other.
Im having a heck of a time accessing the land without spooking any deer, it seems no matter what time of day (or night) I head in to set up im blowing out deer, and they don’t return for a few days.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Great video! Summer scouting after a rain is a great way to see sign. I know you said it took 10 days for deer to show up, did it rain anymore soon after you left the area? If not, if it had rained hard do you feel your scent would’ve been washed away?
Do you use Thermacel’s in the mosquito rich environments?
Dan not sure what your up against in Wisconsin but I know where I'm at snakes are a bit of a concern walking through swamps this time of year, any tips?
Looks like you need smaller britches bub
Will you do a hill country video like this I live in mid Michigan flat land but am taking a trip to northern Kentucky would like to learn more
Osceola county has some nice hills
Sorry to hear about you getting Covid again but on the other hand you can still say “got me another one “ Lol
Dan & Rick back at it gotta watch it now even tho i'm supposed to be workin!! Hahahah
HUNTIN BEAST!!
Jewel weed juice takes the nettle sting away.
@thehuntingbeast how would you access the tree without blowing it up or crossing trails
circle way down wind and come in wind to face
Skeeters looked like they might block out the camera a couple times.
👍
Hey Dan, do you use permethrin to keep ticks off or do you let the opossums take care of them when you get home lol? Do you have ticks in Wisconsin? I was born and raised in Michigan and never seen a tick in my life until moving to the south. Now it's a constant battle with ticks and chiggers.
I have not used permethrin for hunting, but should, it works great. He never had ticks when I was a kid, but they are everywhere now,
@@thehuntingbeast I spray my cameras with permethrin and spray a line around the camera on the tree
Will deer typically key on the presence of a camera? If so, is there any way to camouflage the thing?
They know they’re there and idk anyway to get around it other than maybe using a climbing stick or two and elevating the camera. Go to Exodus Outdoor Gear’s channel, should have you covered on anything you could imagine when it comes to cameras lol
Thanks, man.
