The more public land videos I watch,Statistically, 11 out of 12 big name public land beasts attribute their success to old school beast videos! Pioneer!Legend!,mentor! Thanks Dan
Great walk down memory path, 80 percent of those bucks took aggressive skill to take down. Where average Joe never had a chance goes to show you gotta get dirty and do things others won’t do or think to doing the simple things outside the box, really enjoyed the Visio.
You’ve given many hunters so many short cuts thanks to your content,,still hard work, and we all know you put the time in, there were no short cuts for you. Can’t believe you’ve been recording your videos since the 90s! That’s insane!
Yessir gotta be able to slip in undetected that's huge ALOT of people have the right idea but they just go in to loud or with the wrong wind or don't play with milkweed to figure out the wind in the hilly areas and bowled areas. So many don't pre scout just after season and they'll get into the area and think which wy will it come from? Not realizing that arnt even in his bed area where he moves in daylight
One of the best videos I’ve seen yet. I’m struggling with the fact that I quit hunting from age 26 and didn’t get back at it until I was 44, 18 year gap really hurt.
Im 27. This stuff isn't easy..At least those big bodied thick rack bucks with nobby gnarly bases aren't easy. The ones we all dream of. And this is the serial killer you're watching who's able to get within rock throwing distance of those beds.. Don't get too down on yourself!
@bowmadoutdoors so I’m in southern Indiana and I am 44 as well and did the same almost exactly give or take a couple years. And when I started back I was a stump sitter type hunter and just sit in places where deer might walk past and then found Dan and I’m on my third year of beast style and if you put in the time and work scouting you will become a beast. He does say on average it take about 3 years to be consistent. I have seen way better quality deer and my biggest problem year two was the wrong tree so just out of range of really good bucks so that has been a big focus of mine this year and it’s hard because you never want to backtrack because the deer will get your ground scent and never come to you so I go in early so I can take half day standing and staring at trees lol.
Also what attracted me to Dan and beast style is that this style doesn’t take any money just time on foot and hard work so you don’t need to get scents or cameras or properties or camo or anything besides a good stand and a bow and you’re ready to hunt beast style. I say good stand because that and the bow is basically all you need and a good stand will make your life easier and be able to get into whatever tree you want. Dans stand is top of the line. It is expensive but it’s a one time buy and sticks too. All these things are one time buys and all the other crap you don’t need to be a killer.
Those were some great hunts bud great bucks . I sure miss Dave on the gun hunts with you guys he was a good one thanks for sharing these hunts with us Dan .
Well done ! Love the shirt lmao… once you go to one of his work shops and you see these videos really puts things in perspective on the work and patience you have to have.. thanks Dan !
Thanks for detailing your biggest bucks. All my biggest bucks have been killed in the morning. I hunt a rut travel corridor that connects two giant expanses of timber. I hunt it exclusively in the morning and only with a south wind. If I stay patient and don't kill the first good one that comes by, I can usually tag a really big one.
Nice job putting this together Dan. Your a great hunter and I take my hat off to you. Thank you for the hours of entertainment you have created for me and others. I can’t hunt anymore due to health and age so I thoroughly get the feeling that I’m there with you. I hunted for 43 years just north of Babcock. The paper mill sold the hundreds of acres of land and the new owner locked it up. Really miss it. Thanks again Dan. Kevin Ryan Adams, wis
Used to go up around Babcock gun season in the 1960s with my stepdad and Mom and his buddy, he was a drinker Christian Brothers Brandy,, and my mom got lost and miraculously we found her just after dark! she came out of the marsh up to the road and my drunken stepdad found her in the dimn headlights of that 1962 Ford station wagon she probably would have froze to death the weather was very cold .😮 another time we left the farm early in the morning ready to hunt my mom my stepdad and his painting buddy Edwin and we got to the hunting grounds and he was so drunk on Christian Brothers Brandy that he pulled the gun out and was going to shoot me threatening to kill me I was about 12 or 13 years old I think we turned around and went back to the farm about 70 Mi away
Just got done watching the full video, thank you for putting in so much time to put out these great videos Dan. I could watch these all day. learned so much from you, You will always be my favorite bow hunter 🦌 🙏🏻
This all takes me back to so many memories of hunting in Wisconsin growing up ,I used to throw a recurve Bear bow with the string across my chest the bow over my back and bear hug trees! and stand on a limb ,,and Hunt the edge of farm fields and I killed a lot of deer that way with woooooden AROWS AND BEAR RAZOR INSERT BRODHEADS! in the early days! back then I never owned a tree stand everything seemed like a million dollars and most of the stands were homemade !we're made out of hammer and nails
Dan look up pickerel creek wildlife area in north west Ohio if you are ever interested in a tough hunt here is one for you. Lots of swamp and marsh land would love to see what you think.
I will show this to people they will say wow and totally ignore it and go set by the same Dam rock they shot a buck at 7 years ago lol thanks for the refresher just shows what I always felt about em
Im curious out of all the different properties that you hunt, what is the percentage of them that produce and hold mature deer consistently/ almost every year?
Dan, congrats on a lifetime of successful scouting and hunting . I just wanted to clarify what you’re calling a buck bed scrape. Is it from a buck rubbing his antlers on trees/branches in a bedding area or is it a scrape on the ground from pawing with overhead licking branches? Thanks for posting. Stay safe
alot of my data aligns with yours dan I hunt north central wv where there's probably more pressure from coyotes, bobcats, bears and people killing in season , out of season and even out their house windows.needless to say we don't get very many 4 yr olds.i have almost always killed the bigger ones on opening day or even opening week.others I've killed are on scrapes next to thick cover.almost all are evening hunts cause deer are feeding in hay fields in your access so it's impossible to hunt mornings.almost all the properties are divided up into 15 -35 acres from people dying over the years and dividing family farms up to kids.hard to hunt here
Loved the video, was very informative, and that's a lot of work to give away, but you do. lol, I bet you didn't give info like this when you were young!😉 I actually watched the whole video too btw lol
Thanks, Dan! Question, when you “observed the buck at the kill spot” was that a bump while scouring or were u set up glassing from a distance once you scouted and the sign told you a big buck was in the area?
I have a question more than a comment. At what age does a buck change in his behavior? Meaning, when does become mostly nocturnal and limiting his movement during day light and becoming much more difficult to kill. Is it 5 1/2 6 1/2?
Every year they get more and more smart. There is no such thing as a completly nocturnal buck, but most pucks in pressured areas like the public most of us hunt have learned some hard lessons by the time they are 2 or 3 years old... When they get to 4, 5 or ? they really have the experiance to undersatnd and avoid humans
Dan not sure if this question has been asked but just wondering if there was a buck you were after in your career that was unhuntable ? Lived in a place on public that gave you no way to set up. Just wondered
If it lives where I can hunt, its huntable... With that said odds go up and down dramatically and choosing battles you can win most often puts more bone on the wall, but when they get to a certain size you almost certainly have to try if you have the heart of a hunter.
I have not always been the greatest at getting hunts on film. Had the camera with but only opportunity to capture film was when the buck was right under me and kill mode took over... Did the same thing with my biggest bear. Never turned the camera on... Im better now a days though.
Location... They are where multiple bucks stage from bedding. It can be hard sometimes, but the more you know about bedding the more you will see it. They also tend to get used when a buck is bedding there rather than just pre rut.
Dan, i love you and i love this HB community. Your shirt breaks my heart. Can we find a way to listen, learn, understand, care about, empathize for, love people that are different than us?
I love everyone... Can we just laugh at whats funny? I think the Left thinking its cool to exploit sexual preference for politics is sickening. Nobody needs to know what your sexual preference or perversions are. If your a Dude gay or straight who thinks he is a woman, or a cow, or whatever, he needs to see a doctor not demand we all make believe he is a cow or a woman... I love everyone, does not mean I can't laugh with them. Even a tranny should think thats funny...
I have a question and im not trying to be a dick. Maybe you can answer this on the next podcast. Why have you never killed a buck on the public land challenge?
I hunted with a partner on the challenges and was just as much a part of my partner getting his bucks as he was. We scouted side by side and made the decisions together. Pretty much every time we moved in for a kill it was my partners turn to choose which of the two spots we hunted. Its not easy in 5 or 6 days and luck was never on my side. Most of the people who go on the challenge don't kill. I was involved with a kill on 3 out of 4 challenges and on the 3rd and 4th had a very close call. Its supposed to be a hard challenge going someplace we have never been and I have never been satisfied seeking young bucks. Its hard enough to shoot a mature buck at your home state prescouted in a season, more less someplace you have never been in 4 or 5 days.

It's great but it's bad at the same time lol giving all the secrets away
Support from Southern Indiana on a rewatch. Thanks Dan and everyone on the team.
It's April and I can't stop thinking about bow season. Great video!
2 months 28 days 9 hours 40 minutes..but who’s counting
Dan, thanks for taking all of us down memory lane in the swamp with you well done.
This compilation style video with stats is super helpful to illustrate your philosophy of hunting. One of the best videos I’ve seen you guys put out.
Wow. That's one of the best ever. Thanks Dan, for the teaching. Definitely will watch again to get the information absorbed into the ole brain!
Nothing like a Dan Infault greatest hits video to get someone pumped up to go scouting!
That is crazy! I enjoyed scouting this past year more than I enjoyed my hunt, must be the anticipation
Great walk down memory path, 80 percent of those bucks took aggressive skill to take down. Where average Joe never had a chance goes to show you gotta get dirty and do things others won’t do or think to doing the simple things outside the box, really enjoyed the Visio.

This is going to be great information. Thank you for doing the hill country dvds. You the man Dan!

Nothing beats Dan saying, “time to call the pallbearers” post kill ha😂
Great video. This is exactly what champions do in sports. Even after a win they evaluate what happened and how and what can be improved. 🤘
Great big buck hunting success video with the hows! I hope you do another video of all the bicg bucks you didnt kill and why.
Well done ! Love the shirt lmao… once you go to one of his work shops and you see these videos really puts things in perspective on the work and patience you have to have.. thanks Dan !
I've watched this video like 6 times love seeing big buck trophy room like videos and people telling the stories showing pics off the deer too
This was awesome like more content like this think it will be good for serious hunters for years to come
Thanks for detailing your biggest bucks. All my biggest bucks have been killed in the morning. I hunt a rut travel corridor that connects two giant expanses of timber.

Good video. Beginning gives me a Moses burning bush vibe….
I will show this to people they will say wow and totally ignore it and go set by the same Dam rock they shot a buck at 7 years ago lol thanks for the refresher just shows what I always felt about em
Hey dan! Great video, just a question for you do you think the bear bait buck would of been your highest scoring buck? Thanks Paul from Maine.
It would score higher than any of these bow bucks for sure
@@thehuntingbeast thanks Dan!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Come on people let's get to 100k for the beast
Im curious out of all the different properties that you hunt, what is the percentage of them that produce and hold mature deer consistently/ almost every year?
maybe 10 or 20 %
Dan, congrats on a lifetime of successful scouting and hunting . I just wanted to clarify what you’re calling a buck bed scrape. Is it from a buck rubbing his antlers on trees/branches in a bedding area or is it a scrape on the ground from pawing with overhead licking branches? Thanks for posting. Stay safe
SCRAPE ON THE GROUND WITH OVER HANGING BRANCH
I felt this was great! Thx Dan
alot of my data aligns with yours dan
I hunt north central wv where there's probably more pressure from coyotes, bobcats, bears and people killing in season , out of season and even out their house windows.needless to say we don't get very many 4 yr olds.i have almost always killed the bigger ones on opening day or even opening week.others I've killed are on scrapes next to thick cover.almost all are evening hunts cause deer are feeding in hay fields in your access so it's impossible to hunt mornings.almost all the properties are divided up into 15 -35 acres from people dying over the years and dividing family farms up to kids.hard to hunt here
The most intelligent hunter I've ever listened to.
Gotta bring the Black Sabath Hunting Beast song back
Loved the video, was very informative, and that's a lot of work to give away, but you do. lol, I bet you didn't give info like this when you were young!😉 I actually watched the whole video too btw lol
Thanks, Dan! Question, when you “observed the buck at the kill spot” was that a bump while scouring or were u set up glassing from a distance once you scouted and the sign told you a big buck was in the area?
The one I found remote and glassed / observed I was scouting on foot almost still hunting with binos glassing likely bedding areas.
I have a question more than a comment. At what age does a buck change in his behavior? Meaning, when does become mostly nocturnal and limiting his movement during day light and becoming much more difficult to kill.
Is it 5 1/2 6 1/2?

When they get to 4, 5 or ? they really have the experiance to undersatnd and avoid humans
Wow this video is incredible. Beast tactics for the win always. Screw those corn pile hunting box blind guys in all honesty.
Dan, on the water hole buck did you find the point during that trip or a previous one?
Previous.
The shirt makes it hard not to laugh!! When I should be listening 😂
Dan not sure if this question has been asked but just wondering if there was a buck you were after in your career that was unhuntable ? Lived in a place on public that gave you no way to set up. Just wondered
If it lives where I can hunt, its huntable... With that said odds go up and down dramatically and choosing battles you can win most often puts more bone on the wall, but when they get to a certain size you almost certainly have to try if you have the heart of a hunter.
Dan always has the best shirts.
My last 3 bucks were deer I was going after specifically, and they are my top 3. Only one on public tho, that adds tremendous difficulty
Feeling inspired!
This dude is a BEAST!
Yeah he is. He'll be leaving his legacy behind someday that's a given.
This is SO GOOD
on third buck dan are those accorns or grapes or something else hanging in the tree by you?
Im thinking you saw buckthorn berrys... not sure
Dan the man
At least I'm not the only Hunter with paste white chicken legs Dan. LOL
Lol. You're freaking shirt Dan!!! Classic!
Awesome video!!!!!
This is all I want hear about right now, how to hunt mature giants
I agree with @chrismoe3870, good stuff!
love the shirt.
You have the best content, raw and pure, thanks for sharing,,the work is hard, what you do is not for sissys
My hero ❤️
How come the Rome legends not on film?
I have not always been the greatest at getting hunts on film. Had the camera with but only opportunity to capture film was when the buck was right under me and kill mode took over... Did the same thing with my biggest bear. Never turned the camera on... Im better now a days though.
How do you distinguish buck bed scrapes from any other scrape
Location... They are where multiple bucks stage from bedding. It can be hard sometimes, but the more you know about bedding the more you will see it. They also tend to get used when a buck is bedding there rather than just pre rut.
@@thehuntingbeast love to send you my location so you could point out areas to check
I want that shirt!!
Best shirt yet haha
Are any of these Michigan bucks?
That shirt has me dying
I love the shirt, you should sell em
Lmol, Another great shirt!
Why does the sound quality sounds like an echo.
That T-Shirt tho haha
You could see her mind working when she busted you 😂 .she seen that before that's for sure .
Buck and a bear 😂
💫
