I live in the eastern part of the state. We gravel 99% of our roads here. But out west we're you are, those roads are no joke when wet. I've been there and did that once. I was lucky, and the ditch wasn't steep so I just drove down the ditch. Glad you're in my state.
Kyle and Tyler at Whale Tales and the rest of their crew have always been great to me and my family and friends. I always go out of my way to give them my business opposed to some place closer. Great shout out!
Some of us don't get much time to hunt . Any chance I can get out to hunt is a good time. No matter if it's a good spot or a bad spot. Be happy you can get hunt and not have a case of the poopy pants and complain about not having confidence or the perfect place to hunt. Enjoy the moment.
My friend lives in Iowa and he warned me over and over don’t go near the B roads if they get rain. He said tractors and combines stay clear when it rains.
I think your truck theory is spot on. Plus before season anyone glassing fields could also alert them coming into a field. Maybe look for more hidden fields where they don't get vehicle pressure. I've run off alot of bucks just stopping to glass a field early season.
I wish I only had 3 guys on the hundred acres north of my 80 acres in Central Wisconsin. For opening gun weekend, the total hunters are: 6 for one 40, 5 for another 40, 5 for a third 40, 4 for the 40 across the road, etc... At least 20 hunters for the 160 acres surrounding my property, it's gotten crazy. One 120 acre piece has 18 guys on it, that is only 3/4 of a mile away. Public ground actually has less pressure because at least the guys see your truck or trucks and know someone is there first. Give you some space at least.
Enjoy Kansas while you can, more and more walk-in properties are being bought or leased by outfitters. Hunting is being ruined by money like many other things.
We ran into a walk in that was closed because a guy hunted there and fell out of his stand and sued the land owner... Kansas better pass a law to protect land owners from crap like that or they will start getting out of the program
As someone who has hunted kansas for 4 years now, the deer are very spooky of cars. But not people. I had 2 different deer literally walk up to me while i was walking in this morning. Right towrds my headlamp. 😅 but big bucks wont do that, believe me.
You gotta feed it more onions, clean the tread out so it can bite. It's not like snow where it turns it into ice. Use that strap like a bungee to get more spring and pulling power.
Hey Dan new street tires and slimy mud do not mix. A pickup needs a set of all terrains or semi mud grips. Something with self cleaning tread works on mud and lower air pressures helps too.
I do have mud tires on that truck, you cant tell cause the tires are clogged, they are new, and very aggressive. It is not like the mud anywhere else i have been, and I was not alone, everyone from out of state I ran into told me they got stuck in that crap and learned the same way i did...
Dave was in the hot spot and gave up on it only because it reminded him of home?!?! Really? Make that make sense. If you are out of state and in deer you hunt no matter the layout. Good grief! Rick those other two hunters were there because they knew that Monster was in there. Right spot just didn’t work.🦌🇺🇸🙏
For the record, Kansas State is the conservative Farmer School, and KU is the liberal yuppie school. Not too many Bud Lite drinkers at K-State anymore these days lol.
I should travel from WA to go hunt in my home state, Missouri. I hear the hunting is great compared to out here. Population is doing way better than in the PNW.
Someone that I know hunts Kansas, they said something like you put a ribbon on a tree that someone is in there, don’t know for sure on that just something I heard on rather it’s true or not. But yeah I’d give that person room on a spot that only holds only a hunter sounds like that buck heard a grunt call before lol
The old nissan hardbodys and early frontiers had the best 4wd for being such a small truck. I had a 95 hardbody and a 99 frontier, v6, 4wd. Those mfs would always find the bottom on the mud pit and climb the steepest mountains. The only problems was the frames, especially the hardbodys, rusting out big time. My 95 is stuck up the mountain behind my house. Too steep to get it down because I drove it up there, then the frame literally snapped on both sides behind the cab
A big buck will die . Hunting trip out of state 1st hrs get stuck in a muddy mess and keep your cool and a smile the rewards will be a 165in monster for 1 of u guys I’m telling wit and see
I usually just come back with nothing if its not what im after, but Im not against taking one if you want. I probably wouls take a doe if they did not make it so hard to transport them.
Every time I see someone bowhunting in kansas, it reminds me of JARED SCHEFFLER'S Whitetail Adrenaline for some reason. Dan should play whitetail adrenaline instrumental music in this video. It would make this video more exciting. Dan you should do a spot and stalk hunt in tribute to Jared Scheffler how cool would that be
Been waiting on this one!!! I have learned alot from you about hunting pressured deer. This weekend i had a strang series of events. Been hunting a farm in a very similar to the way you hunted daves farm. Anywho i am tagged out in michigan with the 2 biggest bucks ive killed. The kicker is friday opening morning i had a big buck appear like a ghost at 12 yards behind me. I tried to shoot and my gun it misfires, i still ended up getting a shot at 30 yards totally blew ot and missed. I got back in the same stand saturday morning beating my self up all morning. I wasnt really in it mentally when i herd a stick break and here comes a doe and 4 fawns right in under me, They are starting to catch on to me when i catch something out of the corner of my eye, the same ghost buck lip cureling 25 yards away. I didnt blow this shot, he went down 40 yards. The most incredible moment ive ever had in the woods, hes a 5.5 year old 140 class michigan buck, it doesnt make any sense to get 2 shots at that caliber of deer in michigan. It just goes to show that you never give up because it can change that quick. Still cant believe it actually happend like that, i guess he was really meant for me.
My opinion is that OH has tons more public land than Kansas but it is really tough right now. We just spent youth weekend in SE Ohio and saw little pressure but little sign. No deer seen. 2 while driving and that’s it. I’m ready to go to a place with a higher deer density. Very hard to keep kids interest in the sport these days.
Are you going to get to go back to either one?You might want to hunt the one you're not.If yes then like Dan said what's the season ( bow. Early late muzz or shotgun)/ time of year between the two. Pick the best that are in your favor.
Just got back from a 4 day trip to OH coming from MI.. it was tough man. Got walked up on a couple of times. One I was set up on a good buck and two guys walked in on me knowing full well they'd be headed my way. In my experience getting a little farther west is always better for public ground. Kansas would be my pick
Hey Dan I know the odds of you seeing this are low but if you need any extra drivers for gun season I’d love to join you. I’m 20 and a fresh set of legs. I always hear you complaining about not having enough people so if you want an extra driver for the crew this year I live in Waukesha county just south of Jefferson and would be more than happy to make the trip up. Not afraid of going through some water or cat tails so if you want an extra guy let me know and I can shoot you an email or my number. Thanks Dan love the channel been watching for awhile.
If I was the dude Whining at 58 minutes I would have just left my bow in the tree walked back to my Truck and drove like a little piggy going wee we we all the way home !!!! And on my Way I would think of all the kids who never got to HUNT !!! Ever !!!! That would fix my attitude
Except Toyota kind of shit the bed by jacking the price up $10K-15K. They also aren’t great for towing more than a small trailer and the interior is cramped. I have an 07’ with the 4.0 and it just cracked 170K miles. If I can find a Tundra with a 5.7 within my budget I will probably upgrade to that in the next year or so. Need more towing power for our camper and a bigger interior for kiddos.
Everyone has struggles, and occasional hard paths... Its more about how you rebound that determines if "Beast" is in your DNA... Dave is a good dude, and in editing I wanted to show what he was going thru mentally, and how to overcome it... Its real easy to stay positive all the time when you have 40 heads on the wall, its harder when after 5 years you still don't have any...
How dare you talk common sense!!! Someone else hunting a spot and others moving on??? You would think? To all….if someone is already there …move along! Don’t come up with some lame rational in your head why you think its ok to crowd in on others! Ya I know its public…don't be a arse! Ya might need 4 new tires to get home, if thats what it takes to teach some of these jokers!
I had to cut it short you yankee boys talk to much we don’t need to know your entire set up cause we’re not hunting with ya! Just show deer movement and hunting….seems to be more like an outdoor podcast

They're awesome. Service is top notch
Some of us don't get much time to hunt .
Any chance I can get out to hunt is a good time. No matter if it's a good spot or a bad spot.
Be happy you can get hunt and not
have a case of the poopy pants and complain about not having confidence or the perfect place to hunt. Enjoy the moment.
Amen, too many of these deer hunters just over, analyze it to death.Where it's not even fun.It's like good lord just go hunt.
Thanks for supporting the local archery shop.
My friend lives in Iowa and he warned me over and over don’t go near the B roads if they get rain. He said tractors and combines stay clear when it rains.
New guy is a debbie downer ,,,,,no confidence ...sees a buck chasing a doe
You might take the truck out of Kansas, but with all that mud on there, you ain’t ever taking Kansas out of the truck! 😆
There are piles of "Kansas" in my Wisconsin driveway... lol
😂😂😂
Thanks for coming and enjoying my state! Kansas is a magical place during the rut.
the budlight thing never gets old. hahahaha....
Let's pass the hat around and get Dan a new camera!!! That gain button is killing me hahah
It better only have one button On/off
@@thehuntingbeast😂😂

Nothing greasier than kansa dirt roads

Id quit before piling in like that…nuts!!
Wet, minimum maintenance, roads in Kansas are no joke. Same in Montana. Makes for some adventure!

His insurance sued. Nebraska has WIHA if anyone wants to go try it.
Yes glad there is a pt 2!!! Can’t wait
As someone who has hunted kansas for 4 years now, the deer are very spooky of cars. But not people. I had 2 different deer literally walk up to me while i was walking in this morning. Right towrds my headlamp. 😅 but big bucks wont do that, believe me.

Kansas born and raised. Leave the pastures with cattle for us local hunters. We won't complain.
no one said its easy being beastie but it show is fun
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, lives to see another day.
Never go down a road with out gravel, Road grader hates you lol
Can’t wait for part two!
Dan thank you for the wisdom and entertainment, from East Tennessee public land hunter
I’m hunting in Kansas right now and you have to have mud tires and 4 wheel drive on these public roads lol.
Well, I had both to begin with, but destroyed my 4 wheel drive when I got stuck
Go get em dan never give up
Hey Dan new street tires and slimy mud do not mix. A pickup needs a set of all terrains or semi mud grips. Something with self cleaning tread works on mud and lower air pressures helps too.

Screw them All terrains with aggressive treads. They ride like shit and are loud I’m not a hillbilly kid anymore
I bought that tidewe bow I kilt one doe so far it's fast and knocks them down. Great video keep them coming. And love your shows
That buck that would not leave must drink Budlight. 🤔😆
Looks like an amazing hunt can't wait for the next
Dave was in the hot spot and gave up on it only because it reminded him of home?!?! Really? Make that make sense. If you are out of state and in deer you hunt no matter the layout. Good grief! Rick those other two hunters were there because they knew that Monster was in there. Right spot just didn’t work.🦌🇺🇸🙏
Agreed
Exactly! They didn’t give a fk that Rick was in there! I hate aholes like that! Ruin it for everyone!
Hi Dan, hope you guys got something! And looking forward to part 2!
For the record, Kansas State is the conservative Farmer School, and KU is the liberal yuppie school. Not too many Bud Lite drinkers at K-State anymore these days lol.
Do they drink their Bud Light with a straw at KU im guessing yes
@ericsutherland4545 not only do they sip their bud light with a straw, on the weekends they butt chug as a community activity.
Beware of the wet black kansas dirt
I'll never give a thumbs down to Dan's vids but downer dude got me close
Decent buck n a chase.. is a good hunt.. cheer up Dave.. 😂
I always wear an orange hat when hunting public. Others can see it and it helps get peoples attention.
I should travel from WA to go hunt in my home state, Missouri. I hear the hunting is great compared to out here. Population is doing way better than in the PNW.
If you had them Tires with the gription strips you wouldn't have no problems😂
Someone that I know hunts Kansas, they said something like you put a ribbon on a tree that someone is in there, don’t know for sure on that just something I heard on rather it’s true or not. But yeah I’d give that person room on a spot that only holds only a hunter sounds like that buck heard a grunt call before lol
4runners have the best 4 wheel drive. change my mind
@@joshtrauger3088 Rubicon with front and rear lockers hard to beat from factory but toyota much more reliable

He never seen a beast in a tree had he
Ricky Pooo.. u got a camera.. Atleast get us a pic of it.. lol 😂
Dan curious what zone were you in?
Mr. Roper reference, love it.
You need a four-wheel-drive Yoda with some buck shots
Almost exactly what i commented,except i said tacoma with yokohamas 😂
Dan if you Rick n Dave went camping n you woke up with your boxers on backwards would you tell anyone?
YES...
@ 😂
😂
They love giving Ricky Pooh a hard time
Thanks for the update dan o
A big buck will die . Hunting trip out of state 1st hrs get stuck in a muddy mess and keep your cool and a smile the rewards will be a 165in monster for 1 of u guys I’m telling wit and see
On the last day of these hunts out of state . Do you guy come home empty handed? Or take a doe or smaller buck ?
I usually just come back with nothing if its not what im after, but Im not against taking one if you want. I probably wouls take a doe if they did not make it so hard to transport them.
More respect for tag soup than killing a dink, part of it. Unless of course your a so called big buck killa! Your ego will get over it in a few days.
I got cell cam pics of coyotes and deer eating together from different years ha
Gar holed by the cow tracks😂
Thanks Dan!
Why wouldnt you have 2 jelly slings on your truck at all times
Gotta call the Toyota 😂. I love Toyotas. Trade that pos Ford and Get yourself a tundra Dan.
I agree, I like the Tacomas, couldnt get one in my budget when the last one decided to fall apart, and ended up with the ford...
Yep crawl control
Not all gangstas wear guns.
I hope i never consider a buck that big not to be a shooter.
At 48 min that doe smelled a BEAST
Awesome video 👍
How aggressive did you call
I did not call at all, I trusted my set ups. Ricky did some calling, non aggressive
Come to South East Minnesota and I’ll get you on some giants.
Please all go to SE Minnesota!!!
When’s Jake coming back hunting w you?? He always went the extra mile!!
GREEN HORNS 😂
Great content!
I think you just made an enemy,,,,,,bud light joke triggered the wokeness in him..he didn't want to offend anyone😂😂😂❤
31:05 Lol. It'd be a lot funnier but I've also done it.
Every time I see someone bowhunting in kansas, it reminds me of JARED SCHEFFLER'S Whitetail Adrenaline for some reason. Dan should play whitetail adrenaline instrumental music in this video. It would make this video more exciting. Dan you should do a spot and stalk hunt in tribute to Jared Scheffler how cool would that be
Lol... You might enjoy part 2
Bring it.
Guys below didn’t watch the video Only been a minute lol
Kansas is notorious for these roads no gravel don't go down them!
Cool thanks
If im going to kansas one of them bucks is coming home.
First lesson dont spin your tires 2 ride in the middle of the road . I see by the tire tracks you both like to drive right on the ditches.. smh..
Dan surely you can afford some real tires!

Lot of big bucks get in trouble for the same reason men often do... the ladies
👍🏻👍🏻
One ? I have opportunity to go to Kansas or Ohio but not both. Opinions? Just got done watching Ohio hunt from 3yrs ago👍
Depends on exactly where and when you hunt. Both are great destinations
My opinion is that OH has tons more public land than Kansas but it is really tough right now. We just spent youth weekend in SE Ohio and saw little pressure but little sign. No deer seen. 2 while driving and that’s it. I’m ready to go to a place with a higher deer density. Very hard to keep kids interest in the sport these days.

.I'm going to skip Michigan gun season and go. Nov 10ish for about a wk. We have a lot of deer but not a fan of hunting deer running for there life.
Just got back from a 4 day trip to OH coming from MI.. it was tough man. Got walked up on a couple of times.

He is a newish hunter, he will hit a wall that os hard to climb and he will either did deep and scale it, or fade away... Being Beasty is not easy
You guys got to quit giving away such good advice on where to hunt and you won't have other hunters 100 yds from you.
bet you wish you had a winch
Your always hitting buttons on the camera and getting dark footage lol
I suck with a camera...
Nah you good. Self filimg isnt easy. Almost not worth the hassle, but I'm glad you lugg the camera around.Thanks for bringing me along@thehuntingbeast
Ford? Sad 4x4
FORD=Found On Road Dead
Fix or repair daily
Toyota over ford all day long. Trade that thing in for a Tacoma and never look back.
Except Toyota kind of shit the bed by jacking the price up $10K-15K. They also aren’t great for towing more than a small trailer and the interior is cramped. I have an 07’ with the 4.0 and it just cracked 170K miles. If I can find a Tundra with a 5.7 within my budget I will probably upgrade to that in the next year or so.

@ I have tundra 5.7 2014. Just turned 180k w/ nothing but routine maintenance. The interior is huge too.
New guy isnt beast material im sure hes a great dude and maybe the edit did him dirty but hes not happy and just going off about little stuff
Everyone has struggles, and occasional hard paths... Its more about how you rebound that determines if "Beast" is in your DNA...

@thehuntingbeast might be time to give him a layup and wind bump a big boy to him without him ever knowing you helped
How dare you talk common sense!!! Someone else hunting a spot and others moving on??? You would think?

Cool…one less NR coming back! Kansas is overrated, go to indiana, better bucks!
I had to cut it short you yankee boys talk to much we don’t need to know your entire set up cause we’re not hunting with ya! Just show deer movement and hunting….seems to be more like an outdoor podcast
You might want to tune into Drurys or Lee and Tiffany, this channel is about education, and hunting, not just killing.
@ that’s cute ….don’t like them either, don’t be upset your not the only Yankees that talk to much! I still watch you but FFWD through the BS
What we won’t do to harvest a buck .🫡
