Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Great video Dan, at a very relatable time for me after missing one Saturday morning. I got down on myself but this was a good little pick me up and reminded me that i still did alot of things right to get me in that situation, even though i didnt seal the deal.
Goodluck on getting back on that buck and the big 10pt.

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Great video. Man you have more cajones than I climbing dead trees in wind like that. I'll hunt a dead one until the bark starts going, then I ain't touching it.
Relatable setup, we have a lot of clearcuts where they leave seed oaks every 50 yards or so. Skylit is the only way you can setup in these things. I used to hunt the edges, but since seeing you hunt these wide open trees in swamps I have been going right into these things and suprisingly the deer aren't picking me out as often as I thought. I am defintely a lot more careful about my movement up in the tree and do wear my camo.

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Great video. To me attitude is the takeaway but also a great learning tool again seeing the whole setup and how deep in we need to get to in order to get opportunities like that. Thanks for sharing.

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Thanks Dan for sharing your realistic hunting experiences. I too missed a big buck last week, and although disappointed thatI didn't seal the deal, I was surprisingly kind of excited...because I was able to get eyes on him and get close enough to shoot and he had no idea I was there(until i shot of course).
I kept thinking of your saying of bumping deer, "I gotta get eyes on him to kill him."

Great video! I found it pretty funny that the YouTube advertisement that came on before your video was for "the first harness with scent control." Too funny!
It's not the destination, it's the journey getting there!

Great Video Dan, Thanks for sharing!
I truly believe your positive mental attitude and your easy going personality, is why you are so successful! And also why you have the great following that you do on this forum! I applaud your work ethic, confidence & perseverance. Your attitude, helps me keep me motivated and positive every time I go in the woods.
And I have no doubt that 10 pointer will fall to you or Mario this season!

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Loved it Dan!
The fresh sign was a key component that told you something.
I have smelled the Tarsal gland smell before. When you smell that, is it usually a good spot??

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Good stuff. It is a lot easier for an old salty hunter to put a miss behind you, than it is for a rookie to miss one and put it behind him. I used to to get pretty bummed when I missed one. Now I just shrug it off. I think the knowledge that you can get on another one helps immensely.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: 8 pointer hunt:
Good video, good hunt, the dead tree still makes me nervous.
One question, The big cleaned out area the deer had done, what is it?
A few times over the years I have seen an area similar, 10 -20 foot diameter just beat down full of tracks.
I never have figured out what the deer where doing to make such a mess.
