I hunt on both public and private in Missouri. A lot of it is big open woods, with really big hills. There's obviously thickets and tree tops left from logging in areas, and always bedding areas. I know Dan says he sat a 100 times and only sat in the same tree 5 times, but there's a couple of issues with that. Most people that hunt can't dedicate that kind of time to hunting. The other issue is this. When I find where mature bucks travel, it's generally a good spot every year. What I mean is, if I kill a big mature buck on one of his normal travel lanes, most of the time a different semi-mature to matrue buck will come in and pretty much take the exact same spot. I understand moving around when it's necessary, but I have my honey hole spots that produce each year.
Dan is an absolute beast,he has changed the way I approach hunting. Pre season scouting has always been a draw but now I see things in a whole new light. Tracking plays a huge role in the way I Hunt now,deer movement plays into the Way I set up. Stand placement, Buck beds, day light movement, Dan has had an effect on every aspect of my Hunt. Thanks again for having him on,in the finger lakes region I live in upstate NY is blessed with thousands of acres public land!!!!!
I love y’all’s shows! I found your channel last fall. I got into hunting 3 years ago (I’m 40), and now it’s my passion. Me and my business partner own a real estate brokerage (Tampa Bay), so I enjoy the real estate talk. This Thursday I close on my hunting property in North FL…. Y’all definitely helped to inspire me.
Great Podcast. Dan is a legend and brings back a way of hunting that I grew up doing. The hunt camps and grinding on Wisconsin public land. I owe his setting up tight to bedding video's to killing the biggest deer of my life. Thanks for inviting a humble successful hunter...Dan Infalt
I can really relate to Dan since he and I started hunting in the late 70's-early 80's. I had to learn everything on my own back then through trail and error. I wouldn't trade those early failures for anything, they made me who I am today!
Great podcast. It is definitely a fine line with the kids and you have to learn to read them and then guide them. If my kids pickup hunting or go a different direction I at least know that they have had the experience to know if it’s something they want to pursue. My oldest was the only one presented with a shot, but practiced trigger restraint and let her walk another year. Proud dad moment that he took the time to think before he took the shot.
Interesting podcast. Yes my 2 oldest bucks came from getting close first sits during the first week of bow season. And learning the game of which tree to pick is the challenge. Both deer came within 45 yards of eachother, but you would never have even seen the deer from the other stand. One was 6 year old and other was a 8 year old that I shot before 630pm on hot September days.
Found the channel this past season and have always wondered if I've missed a Dan Infalt episode. I am about as exact opposite type of hunter as you guys but I love the knowledge from the channel and the inspiration to get better to be able to go after a specific buck or just better deer.
Never followed Dan much but definitely have to check out some stuff he produced. I don’t think you asked about crossbows but that would have been interesting to hear his take on it. Good pod boys!
Next to Jeremy, Dan Infalt is the best bowhunter ever. By the time Jeremy gets to Dan’s age, he’ll have twice the number of B&C bucks and will have the Ohio state record, the Kansas state record, the Iowa state record and ultimately, the world record.
Exactly Dan, nailed it. These new guys have a major advantage over people like me. That had to learn everything through trial and error. Now they have all these websites to teach them. We didn't have that, bottom line 😮
The happy medium. You just be a parent, suppurt them in their passion. We dont pick our passions, god gives them to us. All we can do as parents is support our kids.
About the mature buck not coming back to a corn pile after having a bad experience there. I made a bad shot on one year at a corn pile the following year I never had him on camera nowhere knowing he was still alive. Fast forwarding to gun season I set in the same stand and watched him come through the woods towards and before he got to where the corn pile had been he turned to go around it and luckily I was able to shoot him and he had the scar from where I shot him the year before
It’s crazy how stark the contrast is between this interview and the recent one with Don Higgins. It’s important to know your hunting style and goals before taking advice from a podcast.
As much as Dan is “educating” he’s just as much trying to make himself a hunting hero. In it for himself. Been at that since the early 2000’s when he hanging with Andre when he was doing lone wolf tree stands. Back then that was his ticket and he was best thing since sliced bread, now Andre is the “bad guy” more things change the more they stay the same…
There is something going on there between those two. Would love to hear both sides to the story. I know Andre tried sueing him and Cody making false claims about Dan
Something about a treestand war and copying designs. It’s ridiculous, I don’t take sides. Personally, I don’t see how whitetail addictions or huntingbeast tv made hunting better. If anything it overcrowds public land and harms wildlife. No I’m not an anti, I just see things from a different perspective. They should’ve pressed Dan on how he felt for other guys by him jacking up hunting pressure where he lives by filming. The guy who now has to deal with Tom, dick, and harry coming to SE Wisconsin to play hunting beast. I’m not hating on non residents, but I don’t see how these guys can take a net profit hunting for free land while not opening up more access for guys who don’t feel like they need to film and prove they are the worlds best hunter. They all claim they can show you how to be a big buck killer in these “how to” videos which are essentially them chest thumping and pulling out a tape measure aka I’m better than you. Bottom line is get in the woods and learn your deer, Dan can’t teach you anything you won’t learn on your own.
@@rickylahey4370 I know I hunt only public land right now and the past 5 years you can’t go 5 yards without seeing a tree stand. Or you see groups of kids out trying to film. Cameras get stolen. There is no untouched spots anymore
He always has some type of grifting scam going. I'm glad some others are smart to his BS. The guys that have known of him for awhile know he is a hot air bag looking to sell something.
I live in Michigan, I freaking hated it when they took baiting away. But, It absolutely positively, brought me back to my roots. As a hunter, and what made me fall in love with all of it. Made me become a better deer hunter, again. If that's possible. Lol. Absolute good thing to make hunters, better hunters. But, probably not a good thing as far as bringing in new hunters. All in all, hope they don't go back. We fail on so many levels, as far as bringing in, new hunters. So many different things we could do, to change that. I for one, am not for the youth hunt. Not the way it set up here, in Michigan. The honest, true kids, they get a nice buck, and think it's going to be like that every year and every time they go hunting. Big mistake. And then you have a boatload of adult assholes, they bring the kid along just so they can tag out one of the biggest bucks in the area. It's a fact, happens every year. Sucks in so many ways!!!!!!!!
Dude, I'm going to beast🎉 stick you down. Lol. Number one I'm not that type of person, never will be. Number two, I always believe everyone has their own area, should be completely enjoyable to Hunt there chosen area. Guess I'm just old school. And thankful😮😊
I think the guys these days biggest disadvantage is the hype!! You have to have the best of the best gear and camo and all this exspensive stuff And social media false info is a huge disadvantage. I'm 10 years younger than dan. Growing up in the old days you hunted!! You hunted to eat. And you had the old gear and had to learn how to use it. That's why older guys are better hunter.
@HUNTRPOD Ever think about going to one of the bow only counties in southern WV? The deer numbers are low. But there are some monsters there. The terrain is brutal, though and the locals are not so friendly
I really like you guys and have been following since the beginning, but I think you're wrong on baiting. Doing it just because everyone else is baiting is not a reason to bait. The same can be said about crossbows, live feed trail cameras, etc. At some point, you have to take an ethical stance in the way you hunt. Regardless of whether you think someone else will kill a buck that way; how do you want to do it? I know you talked about baiting to "save them" with Ben Rising (it sounded like he did that just to keep them on the property and not to hunt them). Either way, it isn't natural and shouldn't be promoted. If you don't agree with it, abstain from it. Thanks for doing the work you are.
Ehhh Deer habitat isn’t natural anymore, most of the stuff they eat humans plant, this is like saying hunting a bean field planted to attract deer is wrong.. I don’t see any ethical problems with baiting.. Now I wouldn’t do it because it seems like a lane way to hunt but acting like it’s morally superior to avoid baiting is just silly..
@@micahdunleavy9227 a plant is natural, whether it's a food plot, bean field, etc. A pile of corn on the ground is not. It's not something I'm interested in doing or hunting over.
I have a challenge for any Podcaster or hunting show I'll bet you $ you can't kill a 4yr old doe with a bow and I have 100 deer per square mile 3000 ac NO pressure with great age structure. If you think your a badass hunter come on down! And see how smart a deer can be!
Enjoyed the podcast other than the fact you guys talked way way more than Dan. Let the guru speak!
These guys love hearing themselves talk…
Dan had to be pissing his pants about the old spice incident....😂 What a poker face man!
Gay
Let the beast speak!
Couple hipsters poor Dan had to listen to there nonsense for that long
Finally! The boys with Mr. infalt! I’m so pumped for the next 2 hrs!!
Most honest Hunter in the business
Outstanding episode. Went to a beast workshop this winter. Only got to speak to Dan shortly, but glad I made the drive. His attitude is inspiring.

Dan is number one. Listen and learn !

Need to check out his treestand and sticks. Best on the market IMO

Great podcast guys Dan is a legend and very humble. Great to hear the stories and advice🏹👊🏼🤙🏼
What makes Dan a legend? Self promotion?
Dan is the real deal. Nice job, great podcast guys!

A great one as usual guys. Been learning from Dan since he first started and he hasn’t changed one bit. Can’t wait till the next one boys!
And happy birthday Jared!
Dan, Did you steer me to this vid? Thanks man. Appreciate it!😊
Never followed Dan much but definitely have to check out some stuff he produced. I don’t think you asked about crossbows but that would have been interesting to hear his take on it. Good pod boys!
Dan has been asked about crossbows and he just says use what you want to use and don't worry about what other people are doing.
“do you know Andrae D’Acquiato?”
Dan: yeah.
You guys need to look up the history on that one lol
I can't believe you asked Dan if he knows Andrae 🤣
This is a great one! From the grind to the new age, this is a good listen! Loved it
Thanks!
Great podcast!
I’d love to see an episode with one of the New Hampshire just hunt club guys.
Yep we will get with them
Did u know they come out of the early Midwest whitetail days.
Next to Jeremy, Dan Infalt is the best bowhunter ever. By the time Jeremy gets to Dan’s age, he’ll have twice the number of B&C bucks and will have the Ohio state record, the Kansas state record, the Iowa state record and ultimately, the world record.
Right
Been waiting for this one finally
Hunting public next to the best private seems like the best option for average guy
Can you ask some of these guest what the biggest but they’ve been chasing was, and if they didn’t kill it, what happened to it?
Exactly Dan, nailed it. These new guys have a major advantage over people like me. That had to learn everything through trial and error. Now they have all these websites to teach them. We didn't have that, bottom line 😮
About time ya got Dan on should been on from the jump
Love this

Kind of awkward to ask if he knows Andrea Daquisto. IYKYK
Had a falling out with Joe rentmeester as well. Great hunter, big ego
@gabrielcameron6642 think it was Joe out hunting him on the public land challenge everytime? Lol
Good show but I have to say, you might wanna know a little more about your guests before they come on.
I've learned a lot from the big buck serial killer
Well alot of it to is hunting on public land it makes kids appreciate outdoors alot more

I can't believe any State allows the use of bait for deer hunting, that's a huge spreader of cwd, deer feeding out of the same feed pile.
What about eating apples under a wild apple tree
I live in Michigan, I freaking hated it when they took baiting away. But, It absolutely positively, brought me back to my roots. As a hunter, and what made me fall in love with all of it. Made me become a better deer hunter, again. If that's possible. Lol.

Anyone know the outro song?
I don’t even know it besides it was royalty free 😂
@HUNTRTUBE I did find it. Take me on down by Jay Denton. It's not that great of a song but that part you guys always play at the end is catchy.
These boys are from Washington County PA. City boys that cant kill time on a stop watch unless its a farm in the mid west. Cant stand these two
lol pretty far from city boys dude. Also not from Washington…come to Fayette County and tell me it’s city hunting
@@HUNTRPODGreene county, along the WV border. But nice try
Western greene for sure but not nearly as mountainous as the southern half of fayette
@HUNTRPOD Ever think about going to one of the bow only counties in southern WV? The deer numbers are low. But there are some monsters there. The terrain is brutal, though and the locals are not so friendly
Where is this alleged SWPA ice cream shop located? lol
Dont even let dan talk
Also not giving away your location helps
Finally these growers are being called out for what they are doing isn't reality. Dan is a woodsman
Plugs suck D……
But good guest in Mr. Serial killee
World's greatest farter I don't think so more like the Wayne Gretzky of deer hunting
Where is joe rentmeester?? Guy stone cold killer. And influenced by dan
Hes alive
