I am having a blast with all the new found knowledge I have gotten from dan and others here for the last few years. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I feel strongly (at 44) god willing my best hunts are yet to come.


Some folks measure success in the journey, not the destination.

I wish I was only 44.

In my opinion a great hunter is one who learns to hunt deer at any time of the season in any weather condition. He has many tactics and uses them according to the situation presented. He can adapt / modify his tactics to any terrain.
The hunter that can do that is truely a beast!

All I can say is everything I have learned from this site has changed the way I scout and hunt.

Others may not agree with it, but it works.

Solid advice here, I can't even get most the guys I hunt with to let a spiker walk. Its beyond pointless to try and teach them how to kill a mature buck until they are willing to learn.

I'm not negative towards the style of hunting this site promotes, AT ALL. I've been doing most of this stuff for a few years. I had just never heard it called "beast" style. Do I question some of it? Sure. I also feel sometimes there's a strong push to make this harder than it is.

I didn't get introduced to hunting until my late 20s. I'm now in my mid 30s and when I found this site it was refreshing. I had already been toying with some of the tactics preached on this site. People always told me, "Don't go in that thicket" or "You can't sneak up on a big buck." What they were really teaching me was to hunt all year long with Rut Tactics. I found myself sneaking into the thickets or trying to sneak up on where I thought a big buck was. It just didn't make any sense to me to not at least try. Come to find out you can do a lot of those things and you can have a lot more success than when you just climb in the stand in the funnel and hope something comes by.

The few folks I have spoken with about this site do not believe in this type of hunting. One guy I let borrow one of the DVD’s stated that type of hunting could not work in my area. Another one watched it and just gave it back saying it was interesting but nothing further.

Now I am sure most of you know I have not had a chance to implement the tactics discussed in the video for physical reasons but I do believe they are sound and will work. Next year I will have the chance to try and get out more and get things in order for next year’s hunting.
