Giving Up on Public Land...

- I Feel Like GIVING UP on Public Land - Hunters united not divided... I wanted to make sure the owner(s) of this camera see that I root for their success. I hope we can help others handle situations similar and share public land. I hope to do a video bow build with the hubby and show that even though there was a misunderstanding, we can still move forward. Regardless if you like or don't like trail cameras, cellular trail cameras, I think the take home message is respect, we all want that. -DS #elkshape

I’m gonna pin this up top… United not Divided. I offered to do a bow build for the husband because he was nice in person. He’s a serious hunter who doesn’t have social media. I liked him. Please learn from this and work towards uniting our small community.
Definitely all noise but I am glad everything got cleared up. It sucks that in this social media age that folks are so quick to judge. Pros and cons of a cell camera 📸 are proven right there.
Good luck 🍀 to you Dan and all hunters who are braving snow ❄️ like that in hopes of getting a whitetail buck 🏹🦌
💯 we're all on the same team. Clean it up!
Bro we are all behind you. We know you wouldn’t do that. You don’t have to. Most of us know what it’s like being blamed for things we haven’t done and it’s sad we live in a world like that. It’s like you said. People will always root against you. People will always want you to fail. I know this first hand and it doesn’t matter who you are it’s part of life. It’s just up to us on how we deal with it and to keep moving forward. Keep your head up. Your community knows you wouldn’t do that.
You handled this perfectly. Hopefully the guy is man enough to accept your invitation for the bow build. #unitednotdivided
Good Man Dan!!
Addressed with intelligence and patience.
Can’t cancel Dan!!!
Love this guy
That lady should do more than apologize. Absolute BS on her part not to verify if the camera was ACTUALLY stolen! You handled it better than I would have. Well done
She made a mistake, probably feels like an ass, and now a very unimportant thing is solved. Why turn it into more videos after this one cleared it up? I get on here to see hunts, not people talking about who wiggled a camera
I stumbled on this, and you, sir, are a class act. This is the 1st time I've watched one of your videos, but it won't be the last. You handled this in the best way possible. I'm sorry you had to deal with this situation. I look forward to seeing more from you. Take care and good luck.
You are a lucky man, be warned if you start watching this guy he might mess around and help you change your life
Took my son (12) out for his first hunt this fall. Public general tags. Nothing but class and kindness from strangers we ran into; even when we and another hunter arrived at same trailhead same time to hunt same face. Grateful for that. He got a nice deer and memories to last a lifetime.
Where do you live? Probably the most important thing to go along with your statement.
The public land challenge never ceases to amaze me. Greatings from FL, you wouldn’t believe some of the experiences I’ve had on public down here. And have you ever noticed that all the B.S. usually takes place during gun season? I feel like bow hunters have more respect for eachother
There are bad apples in every barrel. In my experience, ( hunting private land), around here, bowhunters are the worst trespassers and poachers.
I hunt florida public land also. It's tough but I heard it's not as bad in Northern Florida.
Dude, just keep hunting public land and welcome the added challenges.
@@carlosgaztelucabral8061 Somebody lied to you lol There’s bad apples everywhere including here in N FL.
Nope, bow hunters are no better here in Canada. In fact we find bow hunters worse because most rifle hunters don’t even get out of their trucks. It’s not just cameras, it’s treestands and everything else that you use to access your tree
It's just noise man. Good standing up for yourself!
Much respect Dan. It’s inspiring to see you face this with compassion and thoughtfulness. You are absolutely correct that we hunters need to be united. There are too many stories of people thinking that public land is theirs, or people mistreating other fellow hunters. You are leading by example. Keep up the good fight brother.
You’re right Dan, it’s all noise! People are more unhappy and unfulfilled than ever and it makes them feel better to see someone successful “fail” or what they perceive to be fail. Now where is that new Ultraview scope?!? I’m dying for the details over here haha😂
Keep grinding, Dan. Haters gonna hate💪🏻💪🏻
Dude, not just blowing smoke but I feel for you. I was once accused of something I not only had nothing to do with but they weren’t even my client and I didn’t know they existed. I almost lost EVERYTHING. Even after a small blurb came out that it wasn’t me I never felt I was fully vindicated. The damage on the front end always outweighs the tiny retraction on the back end. I’ll pray for you.
It's crazy this man trains, practices , works his ass off and has people hating and trying to drag his name in the mud cause they are just jealous. Keep doing you Dan , your one of the reasons I wanted to pick up a bow.
💯. And I’m getting a bow as we speak. Dan’s advice will save me 💰.
The fact that despite everything that went down this guy still offered to do a bow build for the guy shows his true character.
A person who cares about his community is as good as it gets
Always rooting for ya Dan! Love the videos and the passion you have for hunting. You’ll never make everyone happy and unfortunately people love to see others fail. God is good!
Dont give up Brother!! Im blessed to have over 60,000 acres of public land within 5 minutes of my house and i understand your aggravation. Keep the grind going.
Dan is a generous guy who gives others his time and encourages others. He gave a little Aussie hunting podcast his time and spoke with passion and integrity. These things hurt in many ways. It’s unfortunate that this situation happened and it didn’t get cleared up before public comments happened. Chin up Dan. Respect.
Stalk Outdoors Podcast Australia
Dan you keep being you!!! Your inspiration to me and my boys!! As a Christian, as a man, and as a hunter. Thank you for all you do and the content you put out. It’s great to learn from and motivating!!
Stand up hunter, Dan. Kudos to you🏹🏹
I just started watching your videos a couple months back and I just want to say that I respect the hell out of you man. You handled that perfectly. Shame on people that are so quick to judge. Hunters should always have each others' backs
You handled this better than most hunters I’ve encountered on public land.
Keep fighting the good fight and keep your character and head held high! You are a great advocate for all bow hunting! Love ya
Good on you, Dan, for standing up for yourself! I know you from ElkShape Camp and stand behind you as a stand up guy! I support you! RESPECT!
This is what makes hunting a blessing. We get to meet and interact with others. I would be honored to be sharing a spot with you Dan. Keep up the great work and content. You are a great role model.
I go hunting to get away from this kinda stuff and it's why I quit hunting public land here in Florida. I pay for part of 1200 acres just so I know that I can get up at 0400 to hunt and not have it ruined by someone else! Great video....glad it worked out.
You don't have to explain yourself Dan, everybody is well aware of your ethics and how Genuine you are.
Someone is just pissed your hunting in there Spot. 😂
But that's the thing about public land !! It's not their spot. It's mine and yours as well if we find the same spot. I went back to "my" spot this year over a mile and a half back. And super hard walking as a tornado went through 5 years ago. It's been logged since with tops of trees everywhere. Got back there set up hung my bow and there is a guy in a tree 40 yards away waving at me. so a week later went back but down the creek a little bit farther. and boom there he is again. So I figured it might be this guy I talked to a couple years prior. Turns out it's his buddy so after all of that and the riffle season going by. I bow hunt only but we are meeting this weekend coming up to get on the same page with one another. We all need patience and know it's not our spot it's anyone's who finds it. Seems like a great guy and I'm excited to meet him actually. He has a way quicker way in going through his buddy's property like only a few hundred yards. Lucky guy
I just started watching your videos a couple months back and I just want to say that I respect the hell out of you man. You handled that perfectly.
Rooting for you brother. Keep grinding. Nothing but respect!
Class act bro- could have gone much different for the worse. Glad you went back to show proof. It’s just too bad that in this day and age people assume the worst and then find the need to try and cancel others. Stay the course.
I have a piece of public land close to where I live and have been thinking about checking it out next season. I seen an older gentleman out there beginning of this season and told him I was thinking about trying it next year and was surprised when he told me a section of it known for big deer. Hunters definitely need to stand together and lift each other up. Congrats on you for standing your ground and defending yourself 💯
Dan! Don't sweat it buddy! You are a class act my man. Anyone with any ablility to judge character understands yours is what fokes should hope to achieve. God bless brother! Stay the way ya are.
Glenn R.

It's not just you bro. This is every state I've hunted in the last 5 years, and getting worse every year. I've been a die hard public land hunter for 25 years. I'm getting absolutely sick of it.
Same!
Yup, put all the work in and some PLUG comes around and plops their stand right next to mine. Been there, done that. I got so far out now it’s not even funny.
I gave up for a good 8-9 years because of it.
In my local area public land has become too overran mostly from non-res WA state folks. That's all I see out there. I got tired of them and Idaho selling too many tags without proper resources so I gave it up because N. Idaho has reached an saturation point.
@@aaronwilcox6417 You can thank the R3 initiative and social media/media for a lot of what's going on.. More hunters = More Money. The health of the animal populations does not matter
It is often tough to be the bigger person, I know I struggle with it from time to time. You handled the situation well and cleared it all up. I really admire the fact that even after all of that flack being thrown at you, you still managed to stay true to your goal. The same goal all of us hunters should try and emulate. Thank you. I wish you well and a lot of luck. United not Divided
You're way nicer of a guy than me
Total respect for that man. Public land is tough. People are hard to deal with. You just stood up. Hope you don't give up but don't blame you if you do. You did do the right thing.
The reason it’s getting harder every year to hunt public lands is because of the RUclipsrs showing everyone where to go and how to do it
Pretty dumb comment.
For those of us that didn’t grow up hunting we appreciate the RUclipsrs that show us the ropes.
god forbid someone starts on the same level as you. get over yourself, there’s many reasons why public land is going downhill and youtubers making videos aren’t one of them.
Being a beginner Hunter, I appreciate your perspectives and experience in these types of situations. In my opinion I believe you handled this situation perfectly. I will be putting my information on my trail camera.
Everything people are experiencing is because of hunter tv and social media. Crowding will never get better, bad actors won’t go away, till hunters stop publicizing hunting.
Yup, if these Instagram bro-hunters would all go outta business. The hunting would get better pretty darn quick I think...
@@Duane14agreed lol but here I am watching hunting until the wife lets me out of the house again hahaha
@@Duane14 I don’t wish Dan particularly any ill will at all. He’s feeding his fam and is a fellow brother in Christ. But at the end of the ALL hunting social is contributing to pay to play hunting and the beginning of the end.
@@EthanPageHunterdidn’t know he was a Christian cool !
@@joeyfuentes1051 hunting videos are still my guilty pleasure lol
Stay strong and stay the course. Don’t let the storm blow you off course or get inside you. Hopefully this will be a life lesson for all involved and everyone watching. These things make us stronger and wiser. Best wishes!
I public land hunted Montana in the early 1990s. I had almost zero contact with other hunters in my remote wilderness hike in area. I got 2 trophy bucks during those years.
By the 1996 MT FWP had got the rules changed to prioritize non resident hunters. I haven't hunted public land this century but I still enjoy hiking and camping outside the hunting seasons.
being falsely accused of something is among the most frustrating things that can happen to a person, glad you came out the other side clean buddy. proud of ya, handled like a man
You don't need to hear from me, however, I have a need to say this, "you handled it well." Stand up job. The bow build offer makes a statement that is congruent with your faith. Be safe and best wishes!
Hey Dan you said it "there will always be those who want to see success fall. I feel like if these people knew who you were and had watched any of your videos they already knew you wouldn't steal for another hunter. My point being that it would seem as they just couldn't resist stirring things up. You rose above it and in the end that's what matters. Respect Dan! Keep doing you your hard work is changing lives.
The people in the know KNOW that you're a man of virtue. This fact alone should put this issue to bed, but on top of that you have supported your claims with objective, open and shut, PROOF that this persons claims were emotionally charged and false. Please don't allow their claims mar the person you are. I believe/support you and your mission here. Keep leading from the front, brother.
You’re right, it’s definitely just noise. Keep having great success and good luck.
This is so sad. Getting in shape and being a successful hunter takes a lot of hard work. A lot of people do not want to put in the work and accuses people that do the work of cheating. I am 65 and have made working hard in the gym and every thing I do. I understand the challenge,Dan sometimes blocking out the noise is the struggle. Keep doing what you do!
Brother I gave up on public land this year. Enough is enough. I only hunt outside the United States now. And had a blast. Worth every penny I spent. Going to Canada next year. 🤠
Your hunting ethic is an example of what other hunters should strive to be and follow... hats off to you...
You have integrity and are a class act! Keep up the good work.
God bless!
Dan, if every hunter went into the backcountry with your commitment to lift up the community of hunters, the sport….the lifeway …. wouldn’t be in near the trouble it’s in. Your commitment to hang tough in that commitment even after having been publicly accused of something you not only didn’t do, but more importantly would NEVER do (just another victim of the mindless rush to media replacing almost all traces of simple common sense) clearly demonstrates that you are EXACTLY the kind of example your FB attacker insisted you were failing to be.
I wish you success with your channel, and even more so, success with your pursuit of all that’s best about the true hunter’s Way.
Unfortunately this is the world we live in now because of social media. It’s easy to drag someone thru the mud and tell the world. I think you handled this pretty dang well and those folks could learn a lesson or two from you for sure. Love your videos!
I totally agree. I'm very new to archery and last December. I bought my first entry level bow. The guys at the shop were very helpful and great to help and get set up. However, you can tell the level of service is different for the ones that buy flagship bows VS entry level.. When I ask about different setup ideas and hunting techniques with it. They act like it's proprietary information. So thanks to you, MFJJ and Knock on. I've picked up the skills to be comfortable enough to go out. And attempt hunting on my own.
Public land hunting is tough in many respects. Many of us have no other options especially hunting other states. Most of us know few folks or have the extra income to pay to hunt private land. I had someone in Montana knock my camera to the ground and steal my memory card a few years ago. Some don’t like trail cameras so they are happy to punish those of us who do.
I appreciate your videos and very ethical hunting standards you set!
I feel like you handled this situation very well! Your situation was a good example of one of the many challenges of hunting public land. However we need people like you to continue to hunt public land to prove that doing so is doable in spite of it’s many challenges!
You are a perfect example of a hardworking, hardhunting bow hunter. Please continue as you have been doing.
Thanks for putting this video out. I would benefit everyone to take a breath and be respectful of everyone.
It's definitely sad to see how envious people are today. Keep on keeping on and congratulations for handling the false accusations so well.
I don’t know you personally but been following you for a while now. You’re a good dude. It’s sad how people are so quick to accuse and tear down others. You had every right to be pissed, but I think you handled it well. Best of luck to you and hopefully others following see your true character.
Second person I’ve subscribed to. Much respect for how you dealt with this brother
People are always going to hate. You handled this situation very well. Put it behind you brother. Let this fuel your fire to keep kicking butt.
Hey brother, I just want to say I'm a second season bow hunter and frankly your videos over the past 3 years have been a driving force for my brother in law and I to continue to push ourselves and ABT. Keep up the good work
Bro I feel your pain. I live here in Eastern WA like you and have completely given up on hunting because of all the issues I've had hunting public land. Keep up the good work, love your content.
so much for being able to unplug while hunting, one of the main reasons we do this! crazy how a cell cam can gather data and be posted so quickly!
Wow that is unfortunate how it all went down. Those who know you know you man! But with social media ones name can get drug threw the dirt in a hurry glad you was able to talk with the folks…. WE KNOW WHO ELKSHAPE IS!!! Wish you good health and happiness 👊🏽
People are always going to hate when they aren’t getting the attention don’t quit bro keep at it and I believe you went above even offering to help with a build after you was accused speaks highly of your character
Exactly why I dont take part in social media. May God Bless you and your endevours.
Good CYA Dan. Honestly regardless of how much money you have how many animals you kill how big your channel gets. No body has the right to do this to anyone. We are all hunters and should do are best to help and welcome others. That’s how we grow and survive! Honestly I wish more hunters where like Dan the integrity he has simply isn’t common anymore.
There are so many people in the woods these days... Less during Archery season. We have to share and get along or we look like dummies to people outside the hunting world.
Great video - love your work. And there is nothing wrong with TRT when it gets low - it helps me keep up with you young bucks in the woods and in the gym!
When you're in Utah - feel free to reach out - you can use my gym anytime, 24/7. It's 6,000 sq ft just 30 minutes north of SLC.
Handled like “Dan the fitness man” proud of you dude!
Stay strong..... its funny you mentioned the past misfortune you had. I remember them all and I'm glad you brought them up. You always handle yourself with class. I'm not a hatter and really appreciate you and your style but its a fact that Public land hunting has been effected by the commercialization of hunting, and people like you who have helped fuel it with viedos and tv shows etc. YOUR not the first or the last, but it's a fact that this has directly increased the popularity of it. Your point is spot on about working with one another and trying to help each other out, to bad only half of us want to work like that. I would love to hunt the woods with you !!!
Dan, I have watched your videos and used information from them to help strengthen a shoulder injury, from bow hunting this year. You are no quitter, so stand strong. United not divided. Public land is all most of us have. We all experience things in the woods, most of them are positive. There are three times as many people in this world as there was in the 1960's, with population grow there is less empty space to find. We have to stand together if we want to survive. Glad you met the people involved and I hope they will come out and Blast you with an apology. Your handling of the situation shows the reason people look to you and trust you. Happy Holiday's and good Hunting.
Pretty cool of you to offer to help that dude with a bow build. Legit.
Man i wasn’t even that big of a follower until now. Now i want to go back through there and put a like and a comment on every video to help offset the haters and the liars.
I am not gonna, i don’t have time for that, but for sure gonna be paying more attention. Don’t give up on public ground. It’s where the adventure is.
I don't know you personally, but I've watched every video up to date . Your chanal and podium archery pretty much and you to guys are the reason I bought a bow press , and I love tinkering also, I probably wouldn't of learned had it not been for yall . All that being said I know you did not or would ever do anything like that to anyone. Man it's crazy the way this wold is giting. Thank you so very much to you and Josh . The offer to him would be an awesome thing for hunting ,and humanity also. Thank you
Very glad you posted this and God does everything for a reason and I love that you are trying to get hunters to unite. Best to you and your journey and thank you for all your videos, God Bless.
We put out 7 trail cams last year. Home state Idaho. The gated road "that's NEVER open", was opened Sept. 2 with state of Idaho timber thinning. Another area has brush grinders so that the rich "campers" from Donnelly can rip up & down the road on side by sides that are rented from a BIG rental company down the mountain. And Idaho is selling "Public" land too. WTF?! Thank you for bringing awareness that it's not just in Idaho.
Californians are ruining it here in Idaho sadly.
For the people that want you to fall, that’s envy. Pray for them.
Love what you’re doing. Keep it up.
I came across this by total accident and I’m blown away! Thanks for handling it with class.
Got a 4x4 buck on one of my cameras here in SoCal. Was so excited considering I have yet to fill a tag, went back to check my camera again and it was gone.
Sorry this happened to you. You handled it very well. In my neck of the woods I had to stop hunting and fishing Public because of the greed and unspeakable actions of other hunters and fisherman in front of me and my kids of all things. It's not like it used to be and that is so unfortunate. We will lose it if we don't promote sportsmanship.
We live in an odd time where we are so quick to judge one another without all the information at hand. People have become hypersensitive about everything that isnt perceived by them as correct. Give people the benefit of doubt first.
Much respect to you Dan.
You handled this way better than I would've.
Love ya Dan screw the haters you inspire me and I’ve been hunting 40 years keep up the good work!
You handled the situation like a grown up. Appreciate the openness.
Respect the video, glad it worked out the way it did and I hope you film the Lift build. Side note, I don’t agree that Idaho’s system is unfair. Whether I’m hunting “out of state” in Wyoming, Utah, or Nevada I consistently see more out of state hunters in Idaho. I should also say, I’m not against out of state hunting, I do it as well. But hunting in the states I mentioned as an out of stater or talking with friends who hunt out of state in Idaho and compare the systems I feel it’s a fair system.
Hey Dan, don't stop what you are doing! Really enjoy your public land content. 99.9 percent of us know your sincere and an honest guy just based on the info you share, keep it up!
They thought itnwas an opportunity to get attention iff of your name. Which is ridiculous. You did the right thing Dan. 👏
Love your work Dan and like so many have said. Haters will hate. We call it tall poppy syndrome in Australia
Hey Dan! I feel ya, just started a channel this year to highlight public land traditions in my home state. Every time I post anything the comments are negative or defamatory in some fashion. The lack of hunters supporting hunters is unreal these days.
Yup i used to be a modern firearm hunter. I wanted to switch over to archery for so long. I finally did it about 7 years ago and havent looked back. I got tired of so many people in 1 area at a time. I have been shot at hearing bullets wizing by my head, hearing bullets hitting trees 100 yards in front of me and so much negativity from everyone. I hunt in Washington and if i ever see you hunting in my neck of the wood i will deff shake your hand and let you know where good spots are if you need the help finding one. Keep it up Dan and try not to let people get under your skin. Its hard sumtimes but kill them with kindness and hope for the best. Good luck hope to see more awsome content. Hope to see you at sum 3d shoots
It took my breath away to hear what you went through. Stay strong.
"and let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Keep your vision.
Dannie. I’ve commented like 3 times ever in YT. You’ve totally change my mind about your channel and I’m a subscriber now. You know how I know Christian views always win. One brand name comes to mind chick fila
You work hard at what you do, and your success came from that hard work. Some people are petty and jump to conclusions. You were gracious in the way you handled it.
I appreciate this public service announcement. All I hunt is public land and it’s hard dealing with other public land hunters that don’t have your integrity. 🎯
That sucks Dan. Sorry that happened to you. Keep the intensity and integrity. The public spotlight is tough so do it right all the time.
In a world full of too much BS you are definitely a good shit Dan. You handled that a lot better than most would. Also tryin to make a positive is so Elk Shape.
I don't watch you and i don't know you. This just popped up on my feed so i watched it. You handled the situation well and thats all you can do. People can believe what they want to believe but its obvious what happed here and now you can move on. It's good that you made this video.Good luck to you.
@ElkShape…great job confronting with truth and love.
Forget those trolls man. You're a great person.
Guy im so sorry this happened....
Its a damn war on public.....
I love your sincere honesty...
Guy.... you rock...
Please don't let this public land episode make uou quit....
Dig down deep and push through it.. 🙏🙏🙏
Lv u man 💪💪💪
Total BS that you had to endure that Dan. I have had cameras stolen, I have hunted in multiple states and 99% of the time. If you just walk up to another hunter and introduce yourself and say Hi there is an instant bond because we have the same passion and share the same struggles. You are a class act dude and you have another follower. One thing I tell all my buddies who don’t self film. I have been doing it for 3 years now and it makes you accountable for every decision you make. It’s going on film. It’s real, you have to be honest and there’s no way to hide anything so you better be following state regulations and respecting others property and land. You do that and I respect you. Curt WhiteTALES Deer Hunting
This situation really SUCKS. Rumors and speculation often carry severe reputation consequences online. It can be like a wildfire and damage people and their livelihoods. Sorry you experienced this, Dan. I too have had many cameras (15-20) stolen, even had someone cut the tree down to slip my cable lock off on private land. It's infuriating 🤬 to say the least. I can't count how many SD cards have been stolen as well. I used to build my own cameras from Sony digital cameras and had one stolen less than 48 hours after its first set. I had $250 and about 40 hours into that build. If I see a camera, I might wave or give a thumbs up just to acknowledge I see it. That's it.
You are more charitable than me. Btw love the channel. Way to stay classy while addressing this presumptive bs
As a Washington native living in Alabama now, dumb stuff like this, unfortunately is country wide. As you know, you will always have haters, but im glad this worked out for you.
If you or MFJJ ever find yourselves in South Alabama, you guys are always welcome to stop by. Keep up the good work.
Dan I know what you are feeling. I have had people in the same camp jump my stand and take my card out of my camera. I have always taken the stance that it is public land and there is a lot of it. You are a public figure in the social media realm and an easy target for trolls that want nothing more than negativity that is not needed or wanted in the hunting world. I think your actions were 💯 understandable. You put out the olive branch and took the high road. A lot of people should take your lesson from this unfortunate incident. Still don’t think pictures posted suggested you stole the camera. ??? Thank you for sharing as a lot of people would avoid talking about such an incident. Hunters should UNITE not FIGHT. Stand tall Dan! Love your content.
