Amen! Dan, I'm so happy the rat slayer is back.. and he got a great deer! It's a blessing in so many ways. Embrace it and encourage it. Your kids are your legacy
This has to be my favorite episode in a long time. What a blessing to have your son get the nicest buck in the area you’ve been hunting with your lifetime friend’s bow. That’s a God ordained hunt if Ive ever seen one. Wow.
Dude this is just the freakin coolest. The Ratslayer back in the game and got the big 9 with Dave’s bow. Congrats man and so cool to see the happy Dad cheering on his son. All around awesome!
I can hear the joy in your voice that's coming straight from your heart. You can definitely feel how proud you are of your son. Happy for the both of you!!
Dan, At 26:22 I understand. You have these spots and you cant hunt them all at same time. You want someone you can share those spots with. And now you can have the rat slayer in a good position. And you can continue to scratch that itch and see whats over the next rise. I get it. My kid wont hunt with me and has no interest. I have so many spot marked i wish i could put someone on to hunt while im checking out another. Im glad your son is back with you at your side. God bless.
Dan I've been a follower for about 3 years now. I've learned so much watching your videos. You said a quote that has stuck with me and I use it as motivation in every day life. "Nothing free was ever worth a damn, go and earn it" especially when life gets tough
I will say in regards to the opening of the video when they found all that hot sign Sept 16th. I’m in MN and harvest a nice 7 pointer opening day… the oak island I was hunting was TORE UP. I have hunted that island for years and never seen this much sign this early. That along with the mass acorn crop makes me think something about the early drought this year pushed everything up in the North Midwest
Score one for the Ratslayer....Awesome video.....I thought for a second that he wasn't going to shoot due to darkness, and I'm screaming "there's still light...!!!!!.."......And he took the shot.......Friggin' awesome........That kid is becoming bad-ass.....
HELL YEAH SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA WE HUNT SO MUCH SWAMP ON THE WEST SIDE THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ITS ALWAYS AWESOME!! Like a said on the east side in southeast Louisiana we have a 80,000 acre’s that’s not walkable unless you know what when where and how to walk or you will be gone
Way to go Ratslayer! Dan, I can hear the love in your voice! Like I said in a previous comment on one of your other videos, I feel we as dads have more joy when our kids get one than when we do! So happy for you and your son! Praise God for this blessing!
It was so AWESOME after the shot to see it was actually The Rat Slayer...he's a man now...great seeing him grow up through your videos Dan and getting her done!
I found an area with an aggressive rub line already with trees seriously gored and a scrape line with several scrapes already opened up. Also found a giant community scrape freshly pawed up. Biggest scrape I can ever remember seeing. I can't recall ever finding week+ old sign like this in late September. I've also concluded it must be a couple of good bucks already drawing boundaries where their territories meet or overlap. Congratulations on an awesome buck!
I knew from yesterday evening this b Video would be up today and it kept me in a great mood knowing after work and when I was finally able to relax I could watch this. Something very special you have inside you Dan and we love you for sharing it with us. Feel like a little kid at Christmas getting ready to watch this episode. Good feel good stuff.
Thank you guys for sharing this experience with us. You guys are giving me hope to try hunting again. Still struggling with my vision. It has been couple of seasons without being able to see enough to shoot my bow, but you are encouraging me to get out there this season. Thank you again
That's what it's all about! Pushing past our boundaries and giving it a shot! If you can only see 10 yards, well then I guess you gotta get him 10 yards away from you!
Yea. It was hell. Im guessing we got home around 1:30am... I get up at 2am to go to work, soooo that dint happen. But James has no choice so he had to get up and go to work...
Kick ass!! Way to go!! Congratulations on another great deer and even more special using Dave’s bow, and being with your dad. Loved it!! You Beasts are definitely on a roll!! 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼🏹🦌☠️
That's good stuff right there. That's a awesome feeling seeing your son get the big one with one of your best friends bow let alone. That gives me chills just seeing the excitement in Dan. What a beautiful early season buck. You definitely don't see that much sign in early season but the sign doesn't lye. Good job fellas and remember be safe out there.
Really nice vid....Daves bow, your son tag teaming, and all the lessons of a productive hunt. Starting with scouting, planning, making decisions on the fly...Very few share these kinds of vids. This is a better way of getting things done....I'm stoked👍
That is fricken awesome. Congrats James, awesome buck, has to be an awesome experience to share this stuff with your dad again, wish my dad was still around to share my deer with, soak these moments in guys!! Congrats to both of you!! Proud dad I'm sure!!
The shot was great but you sent that arrow at the perfect time great job love the father son content it’s so relatable and I’m sure I’m not the only one, keep it up guys appreciate it.
After a 10 year vacation from hunting its interesting how well and composed the Rat was. There are plenty of spots where he could of dropped the string and he risked the buck leaving thru a non shootable window at any time, yet kept the camera on him and waited for the perfect shot... Pretty cool!
I totally agree. As a veteran hunter who has shot several nice bucks, that's something I still struggle with. I always feel like I try to rush things. I was so impressed with his patience, he has ice running through his veins 😊.
All the rut sign - Could be that odd Sept doe came into heat? When that happens and you are there it can be fatastic as all the bucks will be drawn to that single doe. Also, I am glad some of you are showing that expandables can make for quick kills. I don't shoot them as a trad archer but even an old crusty like me can tell when the archer does their part they put them down quickly - usually far quicker than any other head. Great hunt and it was nice to see son and dad out there hunting together again.
Dan that was a fledgling Great Horned Owl, they often wind up on the ground, where they will continue to get fed by the adults. Probably only "appeared" injured because at that stage they haven't mastered flying yet and you guys flushed it.
It was taken to a owl rehab center where it was determined to have broken bones and a badly infected wing. The only way to save it would of been to amputate the wing but federal law prohibits that procedure on owls so it was put down and put out of its misery by the rehab center.
Amen! Dan, I'm so happy the rat slayer is back.. and he got a great deer! It's a blessing in so many ways. Embrace it and encourage it. Your kids are your legacy

These videos are almost like ASMR to me. The scouting especially. These are the best hunting videos out there!
Congrats on an awesome buck!! Loved to hear the excitement in Dans voice for his boy! Thats the stuff the best memories are made of!!

He has the ability to stay calm amd wait for tje perfect shot.
@@thehuntingbeast it is vitally important to remain calm all the way through the release of the arrow…….tell him to send some of that stuff my way.
Atta boy Rat Slayer! That's awesome to see you with your dad. My boys Hunt with me some of the best times!
Congrats James and Dan! Well done!
The Beast and The Rat Slayer getting it done! Awesome hunts and I saw the same thing 3 weeks ago on the eastside of the state

@@thehuntingbeast Good grief ok, good thing you guys intervened then.
Beautiful buck and great hunt can't wait for the next
Great job Ratslayer ! ❤️
We’re getting hammered with sign in PA. I do wonder if the light winters has helped the buck doe ratio a bit
