Here in michigan where i am . U can disappear in some of the river bottoms . U step on some off that muck bottom, and u can't get out. I ended up to waste and its like quick sand luckily my friend was with me at the time .
Same here in Southern Wisconsin, walk through a swamp and a lot of times it is floating cattails but seems like solid ground suddenly you'll find a soft spot and if you fall all the way through and go under the floating mat you need to come straight back up or else you're done for. If you're lucky you can hold your bow or gun horizontally and use it to stop yourself from going completely under. I've never went completely under and luckily I've always had someone with as well if even putting one leg through, that crap can suction right around your leg and need the strength or 2 to pull just one leg out as your other leg is not much help when your knee is tight up against your chest.
can you include some of your process of setting up your stand before your hunts. Would like to see how fast or how much noise you make. Just try. Thanks Dan.
The ground stool might be a game changer for me, thanks Dan! I’ve set up probably 7-8 times on the ground this year, and I always fidget too much, I make way less movement in the stand.
Literally thought about trying to use the beast stand on the ground just the other day.. thanks for figuring out how to do it! Only problem is that I have the 24” sticks and I bet those are 20s
Skunks really like to dig for bees, and they're very proficient at it. They can make pretty big holes. Badgers are also really good diggers but I don't know if they go after bees or not? Probably
I told myself I want gunna hunt tonight because it’s 70+ degrees but damn this video has me fired up might have to go hop onto something close by and hunt from the ground
Yes and no. Remember, Dan isn't hunting deer..... he's hunting mature bucks. Some of the skills are transferrable, but if your goal is filling the freezer just be aware.
Family of raccoons will make short work of it as well. So one of those, if it was a bear that ground would be way more tore up than that, there would be claw marks gouged in the ground as well.
So, when a Blue jay starts chirping, I should think a deer is around? I have heard someone say that on The Hunting Public, but have never seen/experienced it for myself. Also have never heard anyone ever say anything about it. Why do they chirp at deer?
Squirrels fussing alerted me yesterday to deer movement. Soon after 2 small bucks came in. Second one came into my shooting lane from the ground at 43 yards. Missed with first shot. Got him with the second. Just finished processing him. Always listen for any disturbance in the woods.
That is strange, kinda creepy bots are commenting good things on a hunting channel. I don't like it. I grew up watching terminator movies. I think of ai as skynet haha
Makes me wonder if the channels buy the bots to help their videos get in the algorithm. It's always the same 4 to 6 comments on multiple videos/channels

Watching your hunts is almost better than hunting. Thank you for filming your hunts Dan, we really appreciate and enjoy watching them.

Thanks Dan, I’ve been hunting hard. Sometimes I need a reminder to take my foot off the gas and think a bit more. There is a method to the madness!
Looks like that stand turned into a beast stool. great on the fly innovation.
Great video buddy..I love how you use your stand and sticks in ways that are not obvious to a lot of us..
I will forever be grateful to whomever talked Dan into changing his camera a few years ago

Thanks for the content! i broke my foot this season so watching as many hunting videos i can. Hopefully ill be able to get out before the end.
Ive done that stick in stand seat a few times... good stuff
Are you using a new camera this year? Video quality seems a lot better!
He is. He's mentioned still being unfamiliar with the button layout on the new camera.
Skunks really like to dig for bees, and they're very proficient at it. They can make pretty big holes.
Badgers are also really good diggers but I don't know if they go after bees or not? Probably
All I can say is Dan love your videos. You put us all in the action with you. Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing your adventures Dan
Love the stick holding stand up idea. I’m sure to try it myself if the situation calls for it.
Thanks for the content Dan - I know you probably don’t, but I hope we meet someday in the woods (maybe on the way in/out)
I've jammed a stick in there several times it works great.
I told myself I want gunna hunt tonight because it’s 70+ degrees but damn this video has me fired up might have to go hop onto something close by and hunt from the ground
Obviously Dan thats your next modification tree stand seat combo for that type of situation 👊
Beast stand/ swamp stool... on the fly adaptations to make it happen 💪
Only a matter of time. Tell a giant gets tamed once again. Can’t wait
Skunks and badgers will dig bees like that. Also, noticed a bunch of poison sumac in this video, gotta keep an eye on that stuff…
The Beast is the ABCs of hunting, back to the basics,no tinks, no scent control except thermals/wind, no ozonics...the thrill of the adventure.👍
Yes and no. Remember, Dan isn't hunting deer..... he's hunting mature bucks. Some of the skills are transferrable, but if your goal is filling the freezer just be aware.
Likely a skunk dug up that german yellow jacket nest to eat the larvae. Seen it myself twice.
Family of raccoons will make short work of it as well. So one of those, if it was a bear that ground would be way more tore up than that, there would be claw marks gouged in the ground as well.

Badger possibly dig up the bees
Beast stand good for any kinda hunt you have to do light weight quiet durable as hell and comfortable as a mofo
when you dropped your bow, Good add for prime
Awesome video you do a great job
WTF - why are all the comments from bots 1 min after the upload?

Because the world is becoming a strange ass place indeed!

Very strange!! Why this channel?
@@MichaelWilliams-to3cj I think the bots make positive comments and it helps get the video out to more ppl.
Where's the stealth strip dan o
Honey badger
To be honest, it looks a lot chaotic.
Dan should never shave again😂😂
skunks will did them up also
Sasquatch will dig up honey bee nests like that.
How tf would you know that
Your videos are a real find for anyone looking for interesting and quality content. Thank you for your creativity and labor!🐹🍐💪
