Brian Rudick with all the crap going on in the country, more people support you and your fellow officers than you know. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Dan I just want to say that ever since I found your channel 3 years ago, bought your marsh and swamp bedding videos, and have been applying your knowledge to how to get on these public land deer it all paid off today! I didn't get the right shot, but a beautiful 10 pointer came by along with two really nice 8 pointers this morning here on the public in Michigan. I can't thank you enough for all of your advice and knowledge, I had the greatest hunting experience of my life this morning!!!
This was a great informative video Dan. Thanks for sharing. As a veteran and regards to your “hat”, It’s a Patriotic statement that say’s you have balls to support your homeland. It’s not any different than if you were wearing a hat with an American Flag on it. Veterans United against socialist, marxist and snowflake entitlement! Just sayin.......God Bless America...and my 1st. & 2nd. Amendment.
Dan, that is jewell weed. It grows in close proximity to stinging nettle. If you rub the jewel weed on you after getting stung by nettles it soothes the burn. God's plan is a wonderful thing.😁
Love the hat. Myself and all other LEO's appreciate the support. I believe the plant you keep talking about in the last few videos is Jewel Weed. We have a lot of it here in NW PA. If you get into Poison ivy, rub it on area and suppose to get rid of it. Did some research on it and it said deer love it.
Here's a message to the haters. So you think Dan is just showing off when he posts videos of how he gets to remote hunting spots? So what if he is. I'll give you my take. Dan may not have to access the areas he does to kill big bucks but he chooses to. Can you imagine the gratifying feeling of killing a 150" deer 2 miles deep in the swamp? It has to add to the great feeling of success. That's cool to me. Just imagine the stories that he has to tell his grandchildren. It's tough accessing these areas and I think Dan likes it that way. It just adds to the storyline. And not to mention it's great exercise. If you don't like it then don't hate on Dan because you could just go watch something that you do like
Hey man, I only started hunting last year, but I've started putting some of your tactics to work. I'm hoping to get my first buck this year. Thank you for the videos.
I subscribe because you teach something every video, especially when you don't bag one, and I learn from listening to how you think as you evaluate sign. Dan, you are who you are and you don't apologize for it. Thank you for making me a better hunter
Dan, great video. I had opening day in Virginia yesterday. I have been listening to all of your podcasts, videos and your website all off season. Thanks for all the great info. I used your methods to see two deer where i never saw deer before. I shot right over a decent buck at 40 yards, but he came right from bedding on the tip of the woodline in the marsh like I learned from you
Been watching a lot of your content the past year, thanks for all the advise ; Appreciate it, I've been trying to hunt more aggressively, I got a some milk weed and have been paying more attention to the wind / thermals , still learning but getting better ! I usually hunt swamps near rivers ideally, but not sure how to hunt them at night because the thermals fall right to where the deer are? Would you just try to setup in the swamp downwind of the bucks exit runway, or try to get him in the morning when he is returning to the bed? thanks !
Thanks for really breaking down your thought process. It really helps. Not just someone that a guide sits in a tree and says the feeders turn on at 7 be ready. You’re really making it happen. Thanks.
Forget them, you are badass I have learned so much because of what you do. If they can't see what your teaching us then maybe they should watch someone else. Thank you for everything
I sat an abservation spot last week saw bout 10 deer watched a few shooter bucks passed a130 broke up 9 point saw where they went waited for the right wind got in Sunday went in and hung a stand didn't even get my bow up yet had a 140 inch 8 point come right in pulled up my bow shot him and I looked all day today no luck still early but I hate when this happens first time in 6 years gut wrenching feeling
I jumped a monster out of his bed yesterday evening. How long do i wait before i try to kill him in that bed. He didnt spook real bad. Tucked his tail and snuck out. I was straight downwind of him. So he heard me
Heck yeah! I think we crossed your camera here a couple weeks ago...If you see some crazy kids hiking back in waving to what looks like to be your camera it was us!!😅😅
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...you beast ... Been watching you for a long while , you wish you were an Indian , but , you are so proud of your facial hair...just like 👍 a proud Indian would wanna be ...hahaha !!
Dan I have to say, you are brilliant, I’ve been hunting all of my life, and I just haven’t been able to figure these big bucks out, well that is until I started watching how you hunt them, find their bedding and get in close, but not to close. Well October 1st I was able to take my biggest buck ever, 157 7/8 ten point, that’s a pretty good buck here in Tennessee. I just want to say, thank you so much, I have learned more in the past two years watching your videos, then the first twenty years of my hunting career.
Ya need to come down here to NE Arkansas Dan! I know some swamp ground and even alot of public stuff that has some giants would love to see ya break down on a map!
I only use them to get a buck to come in that is passing by out of range... I believe in my set ups and have seen many bucks spook from calls, so the call to me is not something you toot or bang every 30 minutes...
This past weekend i set up on the edge of pond/swamp from about 100yrds where i could see into the pockets of cattails and brush bushes. Seen a big 150class buck get right up out of his bed at 5pm. Now i know for sure he leaves there time to move in or around. But i never would have keyed in on the water spots like i do now days after watching the beast. Great info and pointers Dan 👍
How ironic you say, "what are you doing back in the swamp?" When politics are where the swamp creatures lurk ha. I dont pay much attention to politics but i know a few things that will tip me. 1. Making me defensless against criminals and tyrranical entities 2. Prevent me crom beng selft sustainable, like hunting and gathering fishing and gardening 3. Trying to tell me what i can and cant do or say what i can and cant. I could go on but but you get the point.
I just love these videos. Very educational. Keep them coming! I'm like a young kid getting an early Christmas present when I see these videos. These are the best videos hands down.
Great content on your method of narrowing in for the kill. Got me some TideWe hip boots this week and wore them in for a kayak access last night. #huntlikeabeast
Do u use any scent spray or just play wind, and what do I think about ground scent as ur walking on deer paths, do u got back the next day or do u think the deer won’t walk there cus they smell ur ground scent
I dont believe any scent elimination product reduces enough scent to make any difference. I play the wind and watch where I walk. I rarely hunt the same spot twice.
Man do these videos get me fired up for the week of hunting ahead! The nuance you bring to deer hunting is unmatched. I agree that we need a retired Dan for full time content!
