"90% of the deer are on 10% of the ground", "A mature buck doesn't do anything random", "looking at topos /aerials then BOTG", "if you're not in the bedding area, you're not in the game (excluding pre-rut/rut)".
^^^rules most hunters should live by^^^
Thank you, Tad and Dan for the awesome interview.
"There are no big woods, just a bunch of little woods" pretty fricken profound. This interview was amazing. This guy doesn't have sponsors or followers but you can hear the 1000s of hours he spent in the woods in his voice. Zero ego, just sage like knowledge. Thanks Dan!
He definitely has followers..ive killed more bucks from his help than any other guy
This is one of those interviews that you need to listen too more than 3 times. There is so much value in this! Thank you for sharing!
Most of the old guys wouldn’t divulge anything unless you approached them with a problem you were having. You have to think they learned it over years and possibly even decades. Awesome video Dan !
If you were a kid a lot of times they’d open up to try and help you get deer. Unfortunately kids don’t always remember, but their dads often do 😉
I have no problem sharing the woods & waters with a guy like this in contrast to some of the younger more disrespectful people who are looking for a Facebook glory and not willing to learn shit on their own through trail & error. That was awesome Dan
I help
People
But on a one on one basis.dont spread it across the internet.once tactics etc are out in the open like that their effectiveness diminishes dramatically
@@ec9697 yes they do, example fish run from senkos here b4 you tube they were killer I started going back to bow hunting unconventionally as Dan would say dating the fat chick and had my best bow season on public i have had in 8 years
Nobody in my family hunted. I had to rely on neighbors and family friends to teach me. One day a buddy of mine introduced me to a retired 60 something year old grizzled fella that had just retired from a foreman position at the water company in Cleveland and moved back home to the mountains of PA. He was tough as nails, had crooked fingers from a life of hard work and injuries, still strong as an ox, and loved to talk about all of his adventures chasing deer, squirrel and even girls as a kid and young man. He had a parrot that he taught to be just as ornery as him. If a woman walked in the room the bird would start hitting on her.
I haven't had a grandfather since 12 years old and he sort of filled in. I spent a lot of time with him. He taught me a lot about hunting, fishing, and hard work and the trials of life. He was much older but he was a great friend. This guy kind of reminded me of him. I miss those conversations and the laughs, jokes, and stories. Thanks for the great video!
I'm from Northern Ontario. I'm a dedicated deer and moose hunter and outdoorsman. This video was great. Thanks, Dan.
Find a small hole in the wall bar up here in Northern Wisconsin and you'll find these old killers. Most are more than happy to talk hunting. All you gotta do I sit back and listen and learn. Awesome video Dan. Thank you for the great interview
Yes sir, I know bunch of those fellers tigerton area.
I love listening to this Dan. I replied to one of the comments by another listener. I stated, if you were a kid, in my experience the older and experienced hunters often shared their tactics and wisdom. I wonder if grown men are reluctant to sometimes ask or if egos get in the way (sometimes for the successfull and sometimes for the unsuccessful hunter)? Anyhow, I remember hunting at age 12 and 13 in a group and an often successful older hunter providing some insight and encouragement. I wonder if some of it was directed towards my dad, who was new to the Virginia mountains, to help assist me. Long story short, my love for hunting took me to where I wanted to be. My dad made me a safe hunter and provided me the opportunity and transportation until I could drive on my own. I’ve learned a lot from my own mistakes. Listening to an experienced hunter can help you avoid mistakes and capitalize on your time spent afield. We only get so many sunrises.
I love listening to the old timers in deer camp. 👍
Absolutely love that you dug this up and shared. Favorite part was where he said he follows buck tracks to find bedding, not to kill them at the moment, but to find escape routes and hunt them. Great Interview!
55 year “old” school hunter that lives and loves and hunts Ontario here. The number of bucks that I’ve caught up to a calendar year after I’d crossed him of his sign has me approving this message as solid truth. Also, never stop asking “why” wise old bucks aren’t random, rather they’re calculated and if it worked for him before, he’ll be doing again in the future.
Cheers.
Thanks Dan! Boy were my eyes and ears glued to screen on this one. Every big woods hunter needs to watch this film.
Fight , fight, fight , 💪 good luck this season Dan
This is the kind of stuff that is missing from the hunting voice community. Some of these "top" hunters move to Iowa, doing it in Iowa is not a top hunter. Even most public land guys are hunting around ag.
There's alot of us big woods hunters competing with wolves and dealing with very low deer density. We won't have the same wall of fame as an ag hunter that can do it from a blind or a managed property, but the big woods guy is a true hunter and I'd like to hear more of these perspectives. When I hear guys talk about intercepting them to feed it doesn't apply. There's no fields here where they go to feed, it's almost all browse except for maybe a rare oak dropping. They can still have preferred browsing but it's not very consistent and nothing is that consistent with constant wolf pressure.
So a true hunter is someone that hunts where there are very little deer? Sounds like a terrible hunter to me lol
@@usernamehere6061I think he means to say A true hunter is someone who is consistently successful in low deer population woods. But I get your point as well.
That was a top notch video. The knowledge in that guys head about the big woods you can’t put a price on it.
That was good to hear. I'm becoming one of those old guys. You can learn from all kinds of folks, and you never stop learning.
Many amazements in life. Very few men who know will share their knowledge with you, the men who don't know won't listen to those who do know, and many will take all the credit when an old timer tells them how to fix their problems.
Live and hunt in Northern WI and MN north shore. Lots of good info in here, but can't disagree more with the idea that deer move more during the day in big woods. I have 16 years of experience that contradict it. Bucks up here move more, period, as resources are further apart. But I grew up 10 minutes from one of Dan's favorite hunting spots, hunted there for 20 years before moving here,and most of the stuff I see about how wolves affect deer is rooted in their own beliefs, not actual facts, or is causation fallacy. I focus on timber cuts adjacent to water early, mast trees adjacent to water mid, and remote travel corridors during the rut. My most valuable scouting tool is, shockingly, my $800 drone. Many forests don't publish timber cuts, and I've used my DJI Air drone to find them, find trails, ridges, oak stands 4 miles from the parking lot. In the summer I can even use it to find bucks feeding in the timber cuts miles back in. Good luck this season
The drone as a scouting tool is very interesting.
A Drone thats illegal. And Should be.
Well done. He's a good speaker / teacher
I live exactly in the same terrain as he explained, the granite and the little depressions within it holding the dogwood. This was a video that just confirmed what I previously thought. Super informative, I learned a lot, great video Dan !
Dan, the Man of a thousand great shirts 😂
Longtime ago my grandfather used to farm a big 1100acre piece in KS, for several years. a local fireman used to watch the deer, study as you do. They say he could predict the deer movement almost, by so much time on the stand. He did get a few bigs ones. He's longtime gone, but he would appreciate the fact that there are still true outdoorsMEN around Rip Fireman
as a born an raised norther minnesota, this is INCREDIBLE information. I have never heard an old timer explain the big woods like this but as he was talking YEARS of hunting big woods started to make sense. the wolves are to good, you just have to be better. A big woods 8 pointer is as good as an Iowa booner in my book (and I live in Iowa now LOL)
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Could listen to you guys all day
Hes articulate Smarter then he average guy. He speaks in a way that also interviews the interviewer for his own personal education. Hes got some wit and wisdom.
I really enjoy listening to this stuff. It’s the best! In Oklahoma we have some big wildlife management areas. There are some lucky old guys that camp there all season long. They will give you little nuggets of hunting knowledge about the area. I am always fascinated about a different hunting perspective. One day when I’ve retired I want to do the same thing. Grab the camper and just live in the woods.
Fantastic video. So many nuggets of wisdom. Thanks for sharing this, Dan!
I’ll be listening to this more then once. What he says at the end is spot on !!
Awesome interview Dan. Thanks for sharing.
Yo Dan, this was a freaking awesome video. I could listen to the two of you guys for a month. Boatload of good stuff in there, boatload. Love listening to people that are real, lived it, and know what the hell they're talking about. Nothing out there like it!😊
I love this insight and I started my career in the Northwoods hunting. He is correct in the little pockets and that is the same today. Guys that new the woods then were successful and always on the deer. Really miss the old days
That 90 10 rule was great information
Another awesome video
Lived & hunted Ontario whitetails my whole life & i can promise you everything this man's saying's SO true! I would love to get on a podcast with Dan because i could share ALOT of experience on this topic & can back it up with taxidermy to show for, all archery bucks 150"-175"+ with absolutely no farm land around.. all truly wild big woods/wet lands bucks!
Love to have you on...
@@thehuntingbeast i'll send you a message on instagram! 👍🏼
Fantastic interview, Dan.
Terrific information. I have to listen to this again to digest the information. Thanks Dan
Great interview/video Dan. Some guys go hunting and some get it done in all different kinds of conditions/places. The real BBK pay attention to the smallest details and adapt.
That man is right. I'm 32 and hunted since I was 15. Really late season in tn I went walking found a ton of sign. Put a mental note in. Didn't go back till season. Killed a 10 point and a big 8 on high pressure government land.
priceless info. Nice to hear someone who had learned to hunt without all the technology that alot of us use now including myself. MAGA!
Thanks for putting this out Mr. Infalt. I’ve learned so much from you and your videos over the years.
This is exactly what I have found. We're a little spoiled with technology, but I have found less is definitely more. The only pictures are with the harvest now.
I would have loved to sit and conversate with the two of you about deer If I can say this it's like 2 Gurus bouncing everything deer hunting and I wished I could have took my time time to really scrutinize every little bit sign I enjoyed it and to this day I still do When you hunt hard you can get complacent sometimes I think you really need to take your time and disect every little bit of sign and don't take any of it for granted It can cost you a buck of a lifetime It surely did to me Anyway if I could have at least been able to get some of the knowledge that you guys are teaching everyone That buck taught me you don't want to learn like that I thank both of you especially Dan He's teaching us for free You want us to be better hunters and I thank you for that
Great interview id love to sit down and have a beer with that man and talk deer
Always good to hear some good old solid information. Nothing beats knowledge from skill. Sometimes I think we get to wrapped up in technology.
I wonder what this old timer thinks about all the technology we use these days to hunt deer. Thank for sharing 😊
I work with a group of old guys that have a reputation of killing lots of nice bucks. In the last 12 years I've have the pleasure of going to deer camp with them and I've learned alot from them
Great video Dan Love your stuff though it is tough to apply in here in the mountains of northern Idaho. We have virtually no ag, huge tracks of land, very steep country, and low deer numbers with a bunch of predators but still watch to pick up whatever I can. Logging operations and power line transmission right of ways and forest fire areas are my go to places to find deer here.
New Brunswick deer hunter here! Great stuff… I just dug up last years 6 point skull turned out looking really cool. Jumped him out of his bed at about 20 yards
I could listen to him for hours.
Two older fellas on the same page right there !
Great interview Dan, great info! Im always looking for that "Oasis in the Desert", whether it be a oak island in a cattail swamp, or a thick pocket of low browse in a sea of trees.
A mature buck is a breeder buck. My grandfather would call big bucks breeder bucks. Well explained👍
Great stuff, I wonder why when you bump a deer in big woods he says they might go for miles? Is it because the wolves will keep chasing them? He talks about historical pockets of deer and that’s interesting as well, do those pockets change year to year?you’d think they would if hunters and wolves figure it out and take a couple the pocket would shift to a new area. Really enjoyed this video Dan. Gets you thinking more deeply about hunting.
Thank you, Dan and Tad, for a great video. Tons of information. Need a pad and pencil for this one.
It seems like all the most successful hunters like this have a particular knack for thinking from the deer’s perspective
Wish you showed up to huntstock massachusetts . This guy hunts exactly how I was taught by a old timer. And we would do 2 man bumps all the time. To fill are doe tags hopefully getting that lone buck during muzzleloader season.
Sounds like NH, Love it Thanks for the information Dan
I love the shirt!!!
pure gold.
Priceless amount of knowledge !! Great vid !! Dan you and him get together, you"d have a best seller !!
Are we sure this isn't the Coach from major league 😅 ..... I live in to upper peninsula this is very great insight on hunting the big woods
Thanks Dan for that video. Cool reset
Thanks for sharing that video, Dan!
I had a neighbor that was 97 years old and meat hunted his whole life since a boy and he had numerous stories and tips..On his last hunt ,he was in his early 90s he killed a huge buck like 180 200incher..What a way to end his hunting career..He didnt even care about the size of those antlers and i think thats how more of us should hunt..Its not about the inches its about the experiences.
He was awesome to listen to!
Great interview, good information. Thanks for sharing Dan.
Love the shirt, Dan
Awesome video as always Dan, appreciate you sharing that interview. Wealth of knowledge there, really hit home that even if it is big woods you hunt. You have to hunt small areas to be in the game. Always like your style of videos, straight to the point and message!
Wolves were a big factor for us this past year. It was interesting though, I sit along a drained lake, all browse and bedding now.
All our stands that take deer every year had alot of wolf sign. However less successful stands had 0 wolf sign. So I guess I'm doing something right
See ton of middle of the day movement in southern maine. They do feed 5 times a day generally so makes since
Missed a nice buck after climbing in my stand. Was setting up my camera and he stepped into my 20yd lane. Was 1:00pm and he just got out of his bed. Arrow nosed dived and clipped his arm pit was a bummer but one of my favorite hunts
I would love for u to come hunt with some time here in sw mi. I have some giants around this year.
Great interview and a TON of knowledge!
Great interview in a great setting. Very informative. 👍
Very informative the man knows his shit
Thanks Dan. great stuff.
Great video Dan, thanks for posting this!!
I see big single bucks in heavy wolf woods northern mn. They may bust me and alarm loud. Wait 2 days and see him again, busted him twice in his bed. Watched him get up and leave. Next day had a wolf walk right by my stand. I agree, they seem to avoid wolfs quietly and hunters with alarm whistles.
Thanks for this one, Dan.
Great interview
Great video. Remember the 90/10 rule.
I love the shirt!
Thanks for sharing!
This dude surprisingly covers alot of ground, he must walk very quietly. Which is hard.
My bet would be he covers dead ground quick and goes slow when he hits the pockets
100% facts ! Great job Dan!
Great video!
He sounds like you with your knowledge ever sense I was taking in your knowledge I been seeing way more mature bucks that I would never seen unless they were bump to me I can't always seal the deal but at least I'm in the game with them old big boys. I take in all the knowledge I can it might work in different scenarios for me I hunt basically every Saturday in October mostly evenings and in November morning and evening threw mid December with a five day vacation in mid November we camp because it's a 2 hour drive there so I cut Sunday out because of work I'm getting older and it's a little hard now on me i hunt basically 15 - 20 days a year and just about every one else basically does the same thing I do who lives far from there hunting spot that's why I take any knowledge I can my days are limited and it's been working for me I'm talking about Michigan mature 3.5 and up public land bucks yes we do have a few lol.. just have to put in the work , and will start to develop your own knowledge how mature bucks move in your area / terrain where you hunt .
Key point-look back at the hunt break it down. What did you learn? What mistakes did you make. If you can't identify your mistakes you will make them over and over again
Thanks uncle Dan
Great Video 😁
I love the shirt
Hell yeah brother
Thanks for the video DAn

Hay Dan my state for the last 4 years brought in a two week gun season for doe Sept 14 till End then are bow season opens Oct 1st, this state does everything to destroy are beloved archery season talking about adding pressure, what's your thoughts on this crime, sometimes it's hard too stay humble when they smack you left and right😔
The only way to combat it is to organize a group and get numbers and start a page about the things they do, gain support and get the attention of local media.
