Dan talking about driving 200 miles only to turn around should really open some eyes about the concentration and discipline it takes to hunt mature bucks.
By the time the puppet commander-in-steal gets threw jacking fuel and everything else, who knows what we'll be dealing with. Sure glad we don't have to haul our cannon every time. But you're right on the discipline and concentration with mature bucks, as far as opening eyes, some never learn.
That buck reminds me of my friend in Namibia. He said Baboons can only count to two. If one man goes into the blind they won't show up. If two men go into the blind & one walks out they won't show. If three men go into the blind & two come out blam ☠️ they come in. They can only count to two! 😂🙊👍🏻
I would like to see more videos analyzing your mistakes and what you learned from them. Your combination of confidence and humility is refreshing. Good luck this next season!
Dan your a better man then me . I understand minding your own business but their is a point that you should do something . He crossed the line and I would have hunted him . I would have put cameras along his trail , his tree stand and where you have to park . And when I got enough proof , I would have turned him in . Its people like him that ruin hunting . And I would have really enjoyed hunting him . Not to harm him but to complete the plan . It would have been great to get him and the big buck . Great tee shirt . Thanks for sharing . I can't wait until deer season opens , looking forward for your videos .
I saw a film once where these researcher were studding a wild bird sanctuary. They had a problem that when the birds watched someone enter the study blind they would not come back come back out into the field. So that they did was to have two people enter the blind, wait a few seconds, then one guy would leave and the other would stay, and conduct the research. So when the birds saw someone leave the blind they felt safe again and would come back to the fields. Maybe you need to take a buddy with you then have him walk out alone after you get set up in your stand?
I was thinking you would need to take someone in to bait with you and have them walk out. Might have worked. Might not have. But I figured the way you were describing how he came in right after you baited, he was watching nearby. Wish you could have gotten him. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea. He could’ve had someone walk in to his bait using the normal travel route while Dan took the alternate travel route and setup while his buddy was setting the bait. Great idea man.
Been a follower of yours since your Blood Brothers outdoors video about marsh hunting came out. I have learned more about hunting bedding areas, being mobile, and wind and thermals from your videos, forum, and youtube channel than I would have in 3 lifetimes of experience. The hunting beast community is the best group of hunters ever assembled. Thanks for all you do for the hunting community. I hope I run into you one day just to shake your hand and personally thank you.
same thing happened to me dan watched a buck grow to 4 yrs old over 200” had a poacher that lived less than a mile away from where i hunted and he shot the buck what a shame and hunters shouldnt treat each other negatively it should be all positive vibes with fellow hunters but it cant be that way everyone wants the buck so they resort to only thinking about self dont get me wrong there are still people with the old hunting spirit it’s starting to take all of the fun out of hunting for me really i cant share memories with people anylonger from all of the negativity that they bring now adays ive been hunting for a long time im 45 and now hunt alone and dont share anything hunting related with anyone i know i get my hunting comeradery and deer camp experience and making memories with the beast family by watching your videos every time you go hunting dan as long as your filming bro im there with you making memories you guys are awsome thanks for all of the knowledge 🤟
When I used to bait I would have someone walk with me to my stand and then walk back out after putting out the bait when I got up in the stand. Worked out surprisingly well because the deer would think whoever was there had left. Got several bucks including my biggest 8 point using that tactic.
Loves these buck stories. Keep it up. Even better if there’s a kill. And waiting for a few more deer drive videos. That’s our bread and butter over here in Minnesota
Always has to be "that guy" that messes it up for everyone else. Good to see you are still after it and putting out good content. Good luck this season 2022-2023!
BuckConSin is killing the Monster this year!! Dan I appreciate every bit of knowledge you share with us. Hopefully I can put down a Michigan Big Woods 200+ this year!
I commend you on leaving the other guy be even when he didn't follow your example. It really changes an area when one hunter doesn't play by the rules. He was never gonna kill that buck with that set up anyhow. And what a buck he is!!
Most people don’t have the drive to go back and learn the area after season. And that’s what makes you a better hunter. Learning from the failure is huge. Thank you for showing that. More people need to realize this.
I feel like an extreme genius after reading your shirt. 2019 buck was my lifetime buck don't know what he would've scored don't care but yes the 200 is what serious whitetail hunters dream about lucky to see one on public or private let alone several, awesome episode Dan!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dan, Over the years hunting and learning from so call experts I did not learn much. I learn my hunting the most from you, Todd Pringnitz and the hunting public boys. Thank you.
Michigan public land hunter. Hardest state in the country with the highest number of bow hunters. If I harvest a deer every year I’m happy. I love venison. It’s getting harder every year because of technology and hard core young hunters that are fearless and in shape to follow all the rules of no quads, electric bikes, and so on. I’m still out there trying
Hi Dan I've gotten 3 deer in a simular situation you encountered. So I went in with a friend got set up knowing the deer were watching and my friend would exit the piece of woods while i stayed.
I really like and enjoy the videos where you breakdown your hunts. I'd like to see another video of you picking a piece of public and showing how you scout it 1st with Aerial/Topo, then how you scout it to setup when you get there
its crazy the things we learn from these amazing animals...over the years ive noticed patterns and behaviors that one would never expect...thats why we continue every season!
The deer hunts and tactics are always my favorite videos. Very entertaining and educational. Hope to see you with an even bigger buck than this one in the video on the ground this season. You deserve it.
Thanks for sharing such a story Dan, even though you never saw him during daylight in season it was a great lessons learned. You only have a couple opportunities if any to make it happen on a mature deer 🦌 like that before they wise up.
You guys have a fantastic show, love the stories. I think you're crazy saying that was a 3 year old, but I love your content. Keep it up, you'll be rewarded, and I can't wait to watch the video when it happens.
I hit the thumbs up button the moment I read your shirt!! Man what an absolute giant! Kind of makes me sick to my stomach watching it honestly. For you to have been so close!! Your heart must have been pounding out of your chest the one time you saw him while hunting. I hope you get your 200", you've earned it!!
Hey Dan! Like you and The Hunting Public come to an Alabama public land... like in north Alabama, the Blackwarrior wma inside The Bankhead National Forest. It has been stocked in the 1920's with Michigan deer. And has several record book bucks taken on it, and it's about 92,000 acres. Enjoyed the bear buck video! John 14:6. God bless
I had one like that. As soon as someone else gets a pic then it's over. They have to disappear and die of old age you would hear about someone getting one like that.
Dan you get extra props and shares for the t-shirt!!!!! I have hunted on our hunt property in the UP of Michigan since 1986. We sold our property this year so I am now part of the Hunting Public. I will be changing to bow hunting from rifle hunting. I am really excited to get out there and use my hunting knowledge to see if I can score. I love your videos just like this one. Keep it up!
You had the ethical and responsible chance to contact your local game warden and anonymously direct him precisely to the illegal bait and tree stand. That is what you should have done.
YOUR T SHIRT! LMAO!!! YA HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS AND THOUGHT,,,CAN'T GET ANY WORSE, SO I TRIED IT! OMG!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! I HAPPILY WENT ON WITH MY DAY!!!
These are the spots you check every year This spots with great stories and history.I have a spot my Dad put me on when I was twelve I missed a giant that day , with buck fever at 40 yards .Almost every year since (45) years I have hunt there and killed some nice bucks but never that Velvet giant Great story Dan this is what makes us hunters.
I love these stories of failure more than the stories of success! The wisdom and insight that is garnered from these failures is priceless. Your 200" buck is still out there Dan! Keep grinding.
Dan the man, the legion, the Beast! Wow I'm learning so much from you it's my mission to watch every vedio on your channel and this series many times more, and buy the DVDs. I havent tagged out this year yet, but come snow and shed season I'll be using beast tactics to my advantage for next years hunt and I hope a beast stand and sticks!
Great stuff Dan, it’s a shame you didn’t get that buck. We will have 2-3 guys walk in to bait bear in Arkansas, and they do the same thing. When season opens one guy stays and often tags a bear within an hour. Love the shirt!! Good luck this coming season
Good show Dan. If possible show some more hill country hunts. I got some dynamite Wisconsin public hill country to hunt if ya ever wana tag along with me and my ol man. Good luck this next season!
This video is awesome! I love your videos! I would like to see a video on how a mobile hunter goes in blind in the morning based on technology apps. I miss using reflector tacks and having a quite entry. Mornings are my best hunts in the past. Going in mobile in the morning is crazy! Make so much noise and when u finally get set up as the sun comes up u realize there’s a dead limb swaying in the wind that will take u out if it brakes. Then u go way off corse when u leave. Mobile hunting is hard as hell
Wow what a buck !! On public in the last 35 years I only seen maybe 3 probably 130inch bucks give or take a few inches in my life and that's counting driver around and scouting too, seen a lot more on private , but not much maybe half dozen or so but probably my fault was a traditional Hunter same blind same spot weekend after weekend year after year change spots did the same thing too I took my share of bucks on public but pretty much typical Michigan buck. got lucky and got 118 inch lol.. watching your channel learn a lot being mobile. and i am seeing a lot more bucks i wish what i know now back then I what of had fewer bigger ones for sure thinking back how I screw up on some of them big ones , now I'm teaching my son your techniques so in his years he will be able to score on some of big ones he run across in his time .
hey dan little late lol but in states that allow bating, ive used this tactic before of going in to do the bait with 2 people, while one does the bait the one slips in the tree and only one guy leaves. works like a charm, seen it successful 3 times !!
I wouldn’t doubt if that guy killed him either illegally or legal. Sounds like the type of guy that was going to do whatever he had to do, unfortunate. Awesome video though Dan! 👍🏻
I would like to see Dan & Co. go to other difficult States and take home a trophy buck. I really like seeing ya’ll take on new spots and seeing different strategies for different places.
You haven’t seen the Public Land Challenge put on by The Hunting Public? Dan and Joe do just that. Joe got a corker a couple years ago and Dan almost got one last year. One year was Michigan, the other Pennsylvania.
@@justinmailloux549 yes I really enjoyed that. I was thinking something other than that though. A weeks stay is cool, I was just think a lot of trophy bucks take a while to hunt, sometimes years. Pretty much what we already see out of Wisconsin. Dan already shows a lot of great content anyway. It might be hard to find the time to thoroughly find a monster and get him. The Public Land Challenge is awesome but it’s kind of a crash course for what I was thinking. IDK, I’m just thinking out loud. The Hunting Beast channel already has so much great content it’s hard to think of something. Maybe a mule deer hunt? IDK
@@americanagothic7851 I’d love to see Dan on an elk hunt. Or even a Sika deer in the Delmarva peninsula - that would be right up Dan’s alley. Swamp dwelling, bugling mini elk deer thing.
Dan, Next time have someone come with you when you bait. When he leaves the buck Will think you left. NJ is a real big baiti g state. I have known several bucks to do the same thing . Love your channel.
If you guys want to hunt indiana again, I'd like to have y'all in southern Indiana. Clark county forestry. In Henryville. Also have access to some private property also. Love the videos and your knowledge sir!
Hey Dan, this is what i want a video of: say i pick a good spot on a map and maybe check it out once during a midday, and wanna go in for an all day hunt in that spot like mid October timeframe. Would you put up sticks and stand early before daylight, or would you sit against a tree until daylight and then pick a tree and climb at that time ??? So a video on best options for setting up for a morning or all day hunt during a time when bucks might come thru any time of day. thanks.
I like seeing your hunts successful or not and I like all the information you put on here. I dont really care to see or hear from anyone other then dan or mario but I guess ya dont always get what ya want. Thanks for the videos guys. I wish you wouldve got that buck
Let me see i can't learn enough about wind and thermals an swirling winds more unbelievable recipes and another good video would be you and the guys getting together and shooting your bows keep them coming great buck by the way.
Big old bears do the same thing as this buck. They know your pattern and bed within sight and smell. We learned to bait bears with two people they get used to the two smells and while one baits the other climbs the tree. Then leaves and shortly after the bear show up. So this maybe will help you. But I think if you left in a different direction then you came in at it would better your odds. Route out of sight slightly off wind. Good luck on this one. I experienced the same thing on a 13 pointer. Eating popcorn out of our baits.
If you get the opportunity to film late season tracking of deer in the snow and setting up for ambush on the ground, that would be cool to see again. Thanks for putting out the content.
As a young teenager dad would always make sure we got set up in the stands before walking to his stand. He would stand 15-20 yards away and watch us then leave on the same path we walked in on. Never saw any mature bucks BUT deer would always show up not long after he walked off. Not sure if they watched or would just listen. I bet if Dan had another person set that bait while he snuck around to get set up that deer would be dead
I too hunt Clark county public off the 3rd fire lane. Have lots of nice bucks on camera but your right to many people see a fork horn and hammer down on it. If you ever need some more good spots to find big bucks I’d be happy to share them with you.
Hind sight being what it is should of had Mario stick tight to you walking in bait it you slip up tree and Mario walk out, again should of would of, food for thought. Love the channel Dan always great stuff!!
Pattern behavior. Two people walk in, one hops in the stand the other walks back out. To that buck, the threat is gone, maybe down him first sit. What do I know though I’m no pro but I’ve used it to my advantage and can confirm it works. Never on anything that nice though. Works well for roadside hunting too. 2cents
I'd like to see a video on hunting big river bottoms, like rivers too big for deer to cross. There are lots of white oaks there but some years they are flooded.
I thought the story was going to go like you took your buddy in with you to bait and sent him back out while you climb the tree so the buck would think you left after baiting
I was just wondering why you didn’t try the two person approach, we’re two of you walk out to your area but only one leaves, leaving you the chance to climb into your blind - the other person walks around & then leaves. We’ve had success with this approach, realizing deer are not good at math.!!!
Dan. I Bear hunted Clark County Wis. last year. Baits were hit sporadically. then 1 day I found out why! Dog hunters are allowed to Practice wherever they want. Baits were hit then the dogs would chase them away!!! Frustrating!!! Too many hunters also. Got an E tag this year. Lots of wolves this year! Good Luck this year!

Dan's stories are amazing......the guy is a encyclopedia of buck-hunting strategies.
@@undeserved1781
It's became the favorite part of the show seeing what shirt you wear lol arkansas man that hates Joe Biden
It is cool to see what American he hates this time. It’s a real growing industry. Awesome
I really like the breakdowns of how bucks choose to bed and why and how you would set up on them. I think that is the best element of your channel.
That buck reminds me of my friend in Namibia. He said Baboons can only count to two. If one man goes into the blind they won't show up. If two men go into the blind & one walks out they won't show. If three men go into the blind & two come out blam ☠️ they come in. They can only count to two! 😂🙊👍🏻

Great idea. He could’ve had someone walk in to his bait using the normal travel route while Dan took the alternate travel route and setup while his buddy was setting the bait. Great idea man.
I was thinking the same thing at the beginning. Buck might have put his guard down if he heard / saw someone leave. Cool video
Great story and what a beautiful buck !!!

Also I like shows about finding deer in high pressure public.

Great video, even better shirt.
i'm stick cracking up over the guy locking his summit up over the trail you use to get your bear bait in the woods before the season started 🤣🤣🤣
I hit the thumbs up button the moment I read your shirt!! Man what an absolute giant! Kind of makes me sick to my stomach watching it honestly. For you to have been so close!!

I just automatically subscribed because I saw your shirt
You had the ethical and responsible chance to contact your local game warden and anonymously direct him precisely to the illegal bait and tree stand. That is what you should have done.
You probably could have gotten him with hunter harassment too if he was sabotaging your legal bait.
I agree with you!! My guess is Dan doesn't have the Whistleblower mentality in his genes! Would like to hear Dans reply on the matter!
Love the shirt!
Shirt(s)
YOUR T SHIRT! LMAO!!! YA HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS AND THOUGHT,,,CAN'T GET ANY WORSE, SO I TRIED IT! OMG!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! I HAPPILY WENT ON WITH MY DAY!!!
Great video.
That’s crazy man. Good stuff. Like hearing the big woods stories..
I would like to see breaking down small wood lots in farm country with maybe even River bottom and oxbows mixed in! Thanks really enjoyed the video!👍
I agree! This would be very entertaining and educational to watch👍🏻
These are the spots you check every year This spots with great stories and history.I have a spot my Dad put me on when I was twelve
I missed a giant that day , with buck fever at 40 yards .Almost every year since (45) years I have hunt there and killed some nice bucks but never that Velvet giant
Great story Dan this is what makes us hunters.
I love these stories of failure more than the stories of success! The wisdom and insight that is garnered from these failures is priceless. Your 200" buck is still out there Dan! Keep grinding.
Great shirt, thanks for the videos Dan.
Awsome Dan! Loved the video
I like the diagrams that explain access and bedding paints the picture perfect
Freaking awesome.
Request: video on hunting old mining areas and reclaimed land. Like you see in Ohio a lot.
Call the wardens
Yeah, I got no tolerance for those kinds
Dan the man, the legion, the Beast!
Wow I'm learning so much from you it's my mission to watch every vedio on your channel and this series many times more, and buy the DVDs. I havent tagged out this year yet, but come snow and shed season I'll be using beast tactics to my advantage for next years hunt and I hope a beast stand and sticks!
The 2 in 1 out might do the trick. We've used it in bear hunting out here in Idaho. Hopefully he comes back.
Last season the wind rarely blew in the direction that it was forecasted. So frustrating. You should do a video on shifting wind tactics
Dan is the man!
Great stuff Dan, it’s a shame you didn’t get that buck. We will have 2-3 guys walk in to bait bear in Arkansas, and they do the same thing. When season opens one guy stays and often tags a bear within an hour. Love the shirt!! Good luck this coming season

Great videos. Just keep doing what you do
I like seeing your hunts successful or not and I like all the information you put on here. I dont really care to see or hear from anyone other then dan or mario but I guess ya dont always get what ya want. Thanks for the videos guys. I wish you wouldve got that buck
Great content as always ✊🏻
Let me see i can't learn enough about wind and thermals an swirling winds more unbelievable recipes and another good video would be you and the guys getting together and shooting your bows keep them coming great buck by the way.
Everyone’s laughing at the shirt but really that is some good advice. 👍🏻
LOVE YOUR SHIRT 👕 BROTHER 👍
Big old bears do the same thing as this buck. They know your pattern and bed within sight and smell. We learned to bait bears with two people they get used to the two smells and while one baits the other climbs the tree. Then leaves and shortly after the bear show up. So this maybe will help you. But I think if you left in a different direction then you came in at it would better your odds. Route out of sight slightly off wind. Good luck on this one. I experienced the same thing on a 13 pointer. Eating popcorn out of our baits.
Chris Bee drove to Kansas first night in the stand public land smoked a 200 ish class buck crazy scenario! Cool video too
Fwiw. That buck didn’t score 200…he did a video with the measuring…
You should do a video on Broadhead Dan and arrows, or even bows I guess lol but one on broadheads would be cool
If you get the opportunity to film late season tracking of deer in the snow and setting up for ambush on the ground, that would be cool to see again. Thanks for putting out the content.
Great video ty for your information it helps Me alot
As a young teenager dad would always make sure we got set up in the stands before walking to his stand. He would stand 15-20 yards away and watch us then leave on the same path we walked in on. Never saw any mature bucks BUT deer would always show up not long after he walked off. Not sure if they watched or would just listen. I bet if Dan had another person set that bait while he snuck around to get set up that deer would be dead
When Dan wears a Biden T-shirt and ya hit like before watching 🤣🤣
I too hunt Clark county public off the 3rd fire lane. Have lots of nice bucks on camera but your right to many people see a fork horn and hammer down on it. If you ever need some more good spots to find big bucks I’d be happy to share them with you.
Good luck this season Dan
Hind sight being what it is should of had Mario stick tight to you walking in bait it you slip up tree and Mario walk out, again should of would of, food for thought. Love the channel Dan always great stuff!!
Pattern behavior. Two people walk in, one hops in the stand the other walks back out. To that buck, the threat is gone, maybe down him first sit. What do I know though I’m no pro but I’ve used it to my advantage and can confirm it works. Never on anything that nice though. Works well for roadside hunting too. 2cents
Should have had buddy go in with ya to bait that night then u go up the tree an your buddy walks back out. Great channel
I'd like to see a video on hunting big river bottoms, like rivers too big for deer to cross. There are lots of white oaks there but some years they are flooded.
What a neat video! Heartbreaking really, but learn and move on i suppose? Good job Dan, always next year…
Really really loving the shirt in this video!!!
I want to see a " Caught me a Critter !! " compilation video !!
Wish you luck on the quest for that one!
I thought the story was going to go like you took your buddy in with you to bait and sent him back out while you climb the tree so the buck would think you left after baiting
Deer are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. I hope you bust a good buck this season.
Good video Dan,the other hunter certainly didn’t help maters
I was just wondering why you didn’t try the two person approach, we’re two of you walk out to your area but only one leaves, leaving you the chance to climb into your blind - the other person walks around & then leaves. We’ve had success with this approach, realizing deer are not good at math.!!!
Maybe donuts are the key to growing big antlers
Dan. I Bear hunted Clark County Wis. last year. Baits were hit sporadically. then 1 day I found out why! Dog hunters are allowed to Practice wherever they want. Baits were hit then the dogs would chase them away!!! Frustrating!!! Too many hunters also. Got an E tag this year. Lots of wolves this year! Good Luck this year!
