Between hell & high water

Dan scouts a small property choked thick with buckthorn

Dan,
Love the videos. Super informative. In addition, love my beast sticks. Used them last season and they do not slip. I am doing my best to learn this whitetail game. I have been bow hunting for 40 years and have killed tons on mule deer, elk, sheep, goats but the hunting is far different. Sitting behind a spotting scope and watching them bed and spending hours stalking is what I’m accustomed too. I get into the whitetail woods and it all looks the same. I have no problem getting deep into the woods to get away from other hunters. I’m used to big country and week long backpack hunts. I watch your videos in hopes of figuring all this out. Keep them coming.

You da man Dan,
Walking the Land,
Bow in your hand
In a tree, on a stand
Teaching those who you meet makes your life so complete
Thanks for all that you do til the end
Proud to call you a friend!!!!

Really liking the spartan forge app. Very user friendly and high quality images

I'm so glad to see a video from you Dan I have been scouting and you have really taught me how to scout and hunt If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have all this info from my spots

[kokadjooutdoors]

Glad put this video up. Haven’t been able to get out lately so living thru this 🤣 great info and tips

Hour long scouting video!?! Finally!!!

Really good video for Summertime scouting will be out in the woods in about 90 days and I am starting to choose set-up locations. But this year will be VERY different than last year when I went out in the morning and hunted a ground blind all day....every doing that tactic produced ONLY nighttime activity in that spot as proven by the camera I had set hunt in the first thing I learned from the DI School of Hunting was "find out where they are active DURING THE It sounds basic, I know.... but you'd be surprised how much time I wasted in the woods waiting for deer to show themselves only to come up after day after day. Things are going to be different now. 3 hunts at most for any particular spot unless weather dictates a post storm sit. Can't wait to get out there. Thanks Dan.

Great video. Informative. Insightful. Having to know what oak trees are dropping what every year sucks. Which directly correlates to where they bed/spend time. My area is mostly wooded and 75% of that being acorn bearing oaks. This is where I'd be carrying binoculars and looking up a lot

I’ve noticed that too since I started beast tactics, I’ll go scouting and find like 1-2 spots out of the 40-60 acres I get around to scouting that day the rest is rigged with hunters, and what seems to be night rubs/sign, so I must be on the right track!

Grumpy always says (Walk a mile in a mans shoes for a week and you'll be seven miles from home) uuumm butter, just having some fun reminding you to always have fun with it (sccouting, hunting)

I got a nice pic of a pie bald, appears to be a year old doe. A real unique patchy look, with sort of freak big tail.

I put up 3 cameras today. Beautiful day in the north woods ☀️

How long do you do your scouting for? I mean, how much into the summer, at what point do you stop, because you're leaving too much scent and/or it's getting too close to the season?

[marchulbert]

Dan, you Clue hound, I always say you get out what you put in and when you do three weeks of hunting and scouting out of 52 weeks that's the five percent success rate, you want a hundred hunt year round like the grumpy old man does.
Escanaba here I come, can't wait to retire and live in the U P hang a Buck on the buck pole

[stevedenoyer]

You sure can pick an area apart, detail’s details investigate the whole area!

[andrewkelly]

How late into the yr are you scouting? I try to stay out after the green up.

[danlindenberger]

Dan do you have trail cam pics of the giant you shot this year that unbelievable hunt where he grunted so loud you thought it was a human at first?

[codysimon-]

Trails are absolutely pounded right now. Great time to check areas for Mr.Big's Sign

[Buckman-]

Dan, what type of brush was that you were walking through? Just curious.
