😂😂😂 And well.... somebody had to save the princess! I paused the video, and had to comment. People lack character these day's, but not Dan Infalt. Give us more. I'll never forget the old man in the swamp story you told on one of your bear kill videos. He warned you not to go into the swamp because of the beast that lurks from above in the trees, and then you said to the old man, unbeknownst to him.... I AM THE BEAST😂😂😂. I've memorized that story, word for word, and I tell it to people. There is alot of truth to the story. And I can see where's it would be helpful for someone who is uneasy about walking through the woods in the dark. I'm a gun hunter, and I've always told people, as long as I have my gun, I'm the force to be recond with. I like the beast story better. From a total stranger, probably 800 miles south of you, I just wana say, your videos really have an impact on people. I'm sure I speak for many others as well, thank you Dan, full throttle on the character! And holy smokes, I've never heard a buck grunt like that. Got you another one, goodern too!
The one thing no one has talked about is the fact that Dan is showing us his mistakes, he doesn't have to do that and could easily hide that. My opinion is it's not a shooting issue, I think Dan is a good shooter, the issue is Confidence! Bow hunting is 90% mental. Dan is second guessing himself the whole time as a shot presents itself. He is extremely confident in finding deer and his setup, which he should be, he's always on big deer. The shot is a different story, he's lost his mojo, almost needs his beast card pulled. I'm sure he will get it worked out, we all go through it.
Dan's friend Jay makes a very good point. As long as many of us have been archery hunting somewhere along the way we can develop some kind of target panic or shooting problem and not know it or know how to fix it. Who here focuses more on their pin placement more than their actual release of the arrow? I have relearned my shot process to ensure iam in control at all times in my shot process and that my focus has changed to my release than where my pin is because that should be the easy part. Hope this makes sense and can help someone.
Congrats Dan! Glad you enjoyed your visit to Iowa. I have never heard a display of grunting anywheres close to that symphony you had being performed for you!
Dan, Jay Trudel’s advice is spot on, about just watching the deer while drawn, then aim and shoot only at the moment of truth. For the last three years, I’ve been having the same issue of thinking the angle’s right, only to put a marginal shot on a deer. I’ve gotten lucky and found them all, but had been scratching my head every time, trying to understand how I could’ve misread the angle. For those same three years, I’ve also struggled to see my target through the pins with my newly-acquired old man eyes! Really glad you posted this. I’m taking this advice with me to the swamp this afternoon! And, I’m glad you were able to save that princess. You are a true hero. Bet you saved some innocent trees too🤙
The way my eyes are if I focus on the pins the deer is a blur, if I focus on the deer, I cant see the pins... I think focusing on the deer till the shot presents and then shifting to the pins will help dramatically.
I’m a new hunter this year. I’ve learned more from a few of your videos than nearly a hundred of all the others. Shooting the videos in the field explaining your experience all the subtleties really makes the difference. Thanks!
The missing keys and finding keys had me seriously laughing out loud. Ive lost count of how many times THP guys have done that lol. Awesome ending, crazy how he didnt even flinch with that first shot. Great video man! I think it was your most entertaining one.
“I don’t know if something’s off with my bow” lol. No, it’s called buck fever. We’ve all had it. evilest sounding grunts I’ve ever heard. Eerie. Great buck Dan !!👍
Can't go anywhere without seeing trail cameras its kind of heart breaking nobody does anything anymore but sit home waiting for the images to come in. Kind of takes the fun out of it. My opinion only I will keep doing what I'm doing
Me too Hunting is about mystery and solving puzzles in the field and at home with maps. It’s become a high tech intel game. Some are even using drones to spy deer out now.
Oh I'm sure you knew exactly with a grunt like that what he had in store for your little princess. Laughing...... Ya have to love it when he still stands there after the first shot and let's you send a second one. I've had two bucks over the years let me do the same thing. Them princesses make them big Ole bucks crazy and you have to be in the tree to experience it and that's what makes us keep coming back. Good job Dan and congrats. Be safe out there fellas.
I just got back from Iowa for my first time. My minds still completely blown because I’m from northern Michigan. I shot a nice buck on last day, nice for northern Michigan but a baby for that insane place. Had to scream Hey Stop at him 3 times to stop him. Took a drive one evening, saw 30 bucks & 10 shooters around 140-150”. My head is still spinning. Hunted public & private. Oh ya, finding your keys was a trip!!!
Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut..... congrats on the buck. I can hear John now.."5 of my last six bucks have had Dan infalts arrow in them." That has to be the best footage/sound of a buck grunting, absolutely crazy sound
Had a pack of Bucks chasing a Doe years ago sounded like that. I actually thought it was Two hunters talking while trespassing from afar. Craziest thing I’ve ever heard! Congratulations Dan🏹🦌🎯
Thats awesome Dan! Only heard one so far that "roared" like that. Same thing, scared to death little doe, but I knew whatever stepped out next would be old!! Giant body with a decent rack, dnr said 6-7 year old plus!!
Awesome, way to stick with it when things are going against you. Some great video of deer vocalization as well. Congrats Dan, you're having a great season.
Good to see you made it back to Iowa Dan! Such a terrible disease, can’t imagine how or what it makes a Deer feel like. Probably the same as cancer made myself feel. Having a redemption season to make up for last season, great video as always, Dan!🦌🙏
Talk about luck finding your keys and catching the buck vocalization on video. You should of been heading to a casino that evening. The area you was hunting is an amazing area to hunt and you made it look easy. I lived very close to it for 5yrs. But never bowhunted it cause had plenty of private property to hunt with a lot less hunting pressure. I've since moved back up to NE Iowa and public land is no different than where you were hunting pressure wise. To your followers Dan, Iowa doesn't have a Monster Buck behind every tree. Per square mile the state may have a higher number of Big Bucks than some. But you still have to know and understand your quarry in order to harvest one. Video's make it look a lot easier than it really is. Dan's understanding and knowledge of his quarry is what gets him to the point of taking a shot. To harvest or even see a Big Buck. Especially on a public hunting piece of ground. CONGRATS Dan on your harvest!!! I know what you went thru and the video only portrays a minuscule amount of the actual hunt itself.
That was something else, I thought it was you Dan the first few minutes I’m like what is that. Never heard anything like that! So cool, what a hunt! Wow
Love the videos. I never grew up hunting so TH-cam has been my main teacher. I feel like I have a decent base knowledge at this point, but your channel always manages to teach me new things. Still after my first archery buck here in Iowa.
I thought you were making a fake hunt video when I heard that buck. Just knew it was a prank and one of your buddies with fake antlers was about to trot into frame. Action! Cut! That sounded pretty wicked indeed and you’re right she did come by to thank you! 😂😂
I love your video, it is real & not someone on private land under a feeder hunting deer that have names. Keep it real I love it !! Great job on a good mature buck 🦌
Man I think that buck grunt would scare you to death if it was in the dark!! that was the grunt of a beast:-)😢 now I know that any kind of a grunt is a good grunt :-) haha. good hunting Dan! waving a hand from the Ozarks. my handle used to be the Wisconsin kid -😅
my VXR does that sometimes too with my peep. I've made it a habit that every time I hook up my thumb release it's puts enough tension on the cable that I can turn the peep in the direction it needs to go for a clear sight picture. it's a temporary fix to a string that's still breaking in. I know you've probably shot a million times with that bow and so have I but it still stretches and moves over time. I've had my peep readjusted and it still does the same thing. I love your content and I love the knowledge you have about whitetails. Keep dropping those hammers!
Dan I can’t believe you fricken found your keys walking. Lindly back to the truck . Way to end the curse with a very vocal 9 pntr. You are the big buck killer 🦌👍🏻
Great job Dan . crazy grunting.never heard one that long.atleast you overcome and adapted to presead on with the hunt .loosen your keys then find them in the dark ,God shined on you on this hunt. Congrats on a heck of a hunt Dan
Dan when you are walking in about half way through the video where those green balls are all on ground you come to a log across the trail and there is a brand freshly cut. You then say when you are in tree the trail almost looks too good like it was trimmed. Not sure if you saw that or if someone has already said that. Just an observation. Ps one day we will meet and it will be my pleasure to shake your hand and say thank you for doing it like the average guy. God bless you and Carol and the entire family and to the entire Hunting Breast family.
First congratulations Dan! Way to stay positive throughout a ton of adversity. It gives a newbie like me hope. It also tells me to not get so frustrated from my mistakes in the woods. Second, I thought for sure that grunting was another hunter messing with you.
DAN always have a HIDE A KEY! Congratulations on another MONSTER! You're going to need a BIGGER House. Hey You KILLED MY BOYFRIEND! That Buck was SINGING to The Princess! Hey Guys I just turned 70 on 11/20! I hunt with nothing but Long Bows and Recurves. Just killed a Buck October 28th on the ground. Scott is the Friend of a Lifetime! Dan that Buck just taught me how to use a Grunt call!
Right b4 u said theres no cut branches. I swear moments ago when u had a downed tree in front of you, it looked like it had a fresh man made cut on one of the branches
That was an incredible hunt and encounter. Amazing grunts.i seen another pa guy in the Ohio woods the other day and he had a beast stand and that was the first time I got to put my hands on one and man that is a sweet light stand! Super nice
The vocalizations on that buck was incredible! Congratulations Dan!
And they say don't overcall😅
I had a 130 inch 8 pointer do that last year
Dan is the best hunter/worst shot combo dude on youtube! Love ya Beast! You make us feel better bc we all miss too here and there!
What a Great Friend Dan. You are LUCKY to have such a friend and so fare and in between these days and age.
The shirt game never disappoints. LOL!
Clearly the best vocal buck I've ever seen on video. Congrats Dan!

suggesting Dan needs his Beast Card pulled is B L A S P H E M Y
"I looked around for a hero, but there was no one around.....someone had to save the princess."
Epic!!
I knew you'd get it done, Dan! Congrats. Way to bounce back this season!
Congrats Dan! Glad you enjoyed your visit to Iowa. I have never heard a display of grunting anywheres close to that symphony you had being performed for you!

It's videos like these that keep my head up in the woods when things go bad. Never give up. Good job Dan.
I’m a new hunter this year. I’ve learned more from a few of your videos than nearly a hundred of all the others. Shooting the videos in the field explaining your experience all the subtleties really makes the difference. Thanks!
The missing keys and finding keys had me seriously laughing out loud. Ive lost count of how many times THP guys have done that lol. Awesome ending, crazy how he didnt even flinch with that first shot. Great video man! I think it was your most entertaining one.
I have heard some pretty strange grunts from bucks in full rut, but nothing like that!! Amazing Dan! Way to save the day!
Of all the videos I’ve watched about how to grunt call, none sounded like that! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
“I don’t know if something’s off with my bow” lol. No, it’s called buck fever. We’ve all had it. evilest sounding grunts I’ve ever heard. Eerie. Great buck Dan !!👍
I'm 59 and never heard anything like that in my life and I've been bowhunting for 43 years. Awesome video🦌
Prime example of the high and lows of bow hunting!! Crazy buck grunts!!! Congrats Dan! No doubt you were gonna keep grinding, as always. 👍
The BBSK's Keys to Success. Great hunt Dan.
Can't go anywhere without seeing trail cameras its kind of heart breaking nobody does anything anymore but sit home waiting for the images to come in. Kind of takes the fun out of it. My opinion only I will keep doing what I'm doing
I'm with you brother
Me too
Hunting is about mystery and solving puzzles in the field and at home with maps. It’s become a high tech intel game. Some are even using drones to spy deer out now.
Crazy grunts! You were not kidding
Thank you for being the Hero! That poor princess doe needed you there Dan.
Congratulations Dan, that was a good buck. The grunting he did was something else. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I'm sure you knew exactly with a grunt like that what he had in store for your little princess. Laughing...... Ya have to love it when he still stands there after the first shot and let's you send a second one. I've had two bucks over the years let me do the same thing.

Congratulations Dan 😊 !! Finding your keys was crazy incredible . But that grunting 😮 !!! You’re definitely a hero 😂 !!!!
Congratulations on a beauty buck, that thing sounded like a Devil Buck.
I just got back from Iowa for my first time. My minds still completely blown because I’m from northern Michigan. I shot a nice buck on last day, nice for northern Michigan but a baby for that insane place. Had to scream Hey Stop at him 3 times to stop him.

What an awesome video. Can't believe you found your keys. That buck vocalization was insane. Congrats.

Had a pack of Bucks chasing a Doe years ago sounded like that. I actually thought it was Two hunters talking while trespassing from afar. Craziest thing I’ve ever heard! Congratulations Dan🏹🦌🎯
Congratulations Dan! Crazy video, maybe you should do a video on tactics to locate lost keys😂
Cool hunt Dan! Love the old flannel😂
This episode is gold Dan, great job brother
What an awesome Buck and awesome hunt Dan! That is the most insane grunting I have ever heard on a video or real life! Thanks for your channel!
Thats awesome Dan! Only heard one so far that "roared" like that. Same thing, scared to death little doe, but I knew whatever stepped out next would be old!! Giant body with a decent rack, dnr said 6-7 year old plus!!
Awesome, way to stick with it when things are going against you. Some great video of deer vocalization as well. Congrats Dan, you're having a great season.
Just had an amazing encounter with a 140+ .. didn’t get him and im currently trying to find my confidence that’s why I’m watching the beast.
Congrats Dan! What a great redemption hunt! Very cool footage
Crazy grunting, congratulations!
I’ve never heard a buck grunt that long wow. Amazing
Love your buddy carrying the most important thing T.P.!
Good job Dan 👏 That grunting reminds me of a death metal show I went to once
Congratulations dan. Nice to have friends like that good people.
Good to see you made it back to Iowa Dan! Such a terrible disease, can’t imagine how or what it makes a Deer feel like. Probably the same as cancer made myself feel. Having a redemption season to make up for last season, great video as always, Dan!🦌🙏

Awesome hunt!!! That grunting was unreal! Congrats Dan. 🏹🦌
i know im latte to the party on this video but wow!what crazy amount of grunting. and the first shot? he didnt move!!!! complete chaos!!!!
That was something else, I thought it was you Dan the first few minutes I’m like what is that. Never heard anything like that! So cool, what a hunt! Wow
Dan , you make my day when I see your face. Your a beast dude
Love the videos. I never grew up hunting so TH-cam has been my main teacher. I feel like I have a decent base knowledge at this point, but your channel always manages to teach me new things. Still after my first archery buck here in Iowa.
" No telling what he had in mind for that poor girl" made me crack up lmao
The hero Dan to the rescue. Great job
Holy cow, the only time I've ever heard a grunt like that is when my 5 year old daughter got ahold of my call! Insane.
Instinctive shooting, my old man taught to always stay focused on what I'm shooting and not even look at the bow
Nice VLOG Dan. That deer grunting made a show. Congratulations.
What's it like for the big buck serial killer to be in such a target rich environment? How awesome congrats Dan never give up!
Great job after going through all that I figured when he found the keys he was gonna have some good luck You got some great looking spots
Gotta love a tending grunt!!!!!!!!!!
Great video Dan. One of best that I’ve seen in a while. You truly are a hunting beast for sure 👍🏼💪🏼💯💯
You have to zoom that camera out man! You got a jungle up there haha
That was awesome vocalization. He only gets this a few weeks out of the year. He was spitting his best game. 😂
I thought you were making a fake hunt video when I heard that buck. Just knew it was a prank and one of your buddies with fake antlers was about to trot into frame. Action! Cut! That sounded pretty wicked indeed and you’re right she did come by to thank you! 😂😂
Holy crazy you found your Keyes..Lord love's you
Imagine walking through the woods and looking up. Oh hey Dan! Sorry then walking off. lmao.
I love your video, it is real & not someone on private land under a feeder hunting deer that have names. Keep it real I love it !! Great job on a good mature buck 🦌
Insane grunts! Congrats Dan!
Congrats Dan! Way to stick with it!
Awsome adventure as always Dan never a dull moment. Congrats on the Buck!!
Man I think that buck grunt would scare you to death if it was in the dark!! that was the grunt of a beast:-)😢 now I know that any kind of a grunt is a good grunt :-) haha. good hunting Dan! waving a hand from the Ozarks. my handle used to be the Wisconsin kid -😅
Those grunts were insane 😲
Could you imagine getting a picture of the hunting beast in the wild on your trail cam. I'ld never leave that spot haha
Congratulations ! But the X L sticker on the shirt. 😂😂😂
Thank you for your videos Dan
my VXR does that sometimes too with my peep. I've made it a habit that every time I hook up my thumb release it's puts enough tension on the cable that I can turn the peep in the direction it needs to go for a clear sight picture. it's a temporary fix to a string that's still breaking in.

I love your content and I love the knowledge you have about whitetails. Keep dropping those hammers!
I always leave the antenna on my truck finger tight so I can use it to get in when needed be. Also a couple wood wedges in the bed!
Dan
I can’t believe you fricken found your keys walking. Lindly back to the truck . Way to end the curse with a very vocal 9 pntr. You are the big buck killer 🦌👍🏻
DAN we need a “got me another one” compilation
Great video like the way you do explain what your doing.
Geez Dan. Love the shirt
Your silhouette at the 48 minute mark made it look like you were hunting out of a saddle! 😉
Great job Dan . crazy grunting.never heard one that long.atleast you overcome and adapted to presead on with the hunt .loosen your keys then find them in the dark ,God shined on you on this hunt. Congrats on a heck of a hunt Dan

How lucky was that finding your Keys!!!! Thats luck!!!
Congratulations. Can’t wait to see the next one.
Great content, Love the raw footage. Microphone windshield would be a great addition to the setup.
First congratulations Dan! Way to stay positive throughout a ton of adversity. It gives a newbie like me hope. It also tells me to not get so frustrated from my mistakes in the woods. Second, I thought for sure that grunting was another hunter messing with you.
That’s the most insane grunting I’ve ever heard in my life
That buck had that blue chew in his system
DAN always have a HIDE A KEY! Congratulations on another MONSTER! You're going to need a BIGGER House. Hey You KILLED MY BOYFRIEND! That Buck was SINGING to The Princess!

Way to go Dan ! Awesome hunt !
I knew your season would get better 👍🏼🦌 5 more years and I’ll be hunting Iowa 🤞🏼👍🏼🦌
Getting your John Wayne on, I see Dan. Haha. Way to be the hero.
That was an incredible hunt and encounter. Amazing grunts.i seen another pa guy in the Ohio woods the other day and he had a beast stand and that was the first time I got to put my hands on one and man that is a sweet light stand! Super nice
The way those grunts sounded I thought it might be a joke, wow those were crazy.
