What to read/watch first?!?

Unread postby Thomasj1107 » Sun Oct 11, 2020 1:18 am

What do you all recommend to read/watch first to get up to speed with the ideas discussed on this forum? I primarily hunt public right now, but occasionally have private access in central NC. Is it best to get the DVDS first and then combine that with reading the forums, or is there a better way to get the same info quicker without accumulating the DVDs?

Thanks!

Both! Get all of Dan’s DVDs and study as much as you can on this forum. For the sake of efficiency, check out the All Time Best Tactical Thread.

Regardless of the terrain you’re hunting, the DVDs will help you understand what goes through a mature buck’s mind when he searches out secure bedding. You’ll start seeing how it makes you think differently in any given terrain. There’s absolutely no substitute for having the visuals that Dan gives in those DVDs. And the shirts he wears are super educational, too :lol:

This forum will help answer a lot of questions you might have that may need a more specific answer. It’s also cool to celebrate kills with everyone. I’ve become good friends with several guys from this community, because everyone here is passionate about learning and helping each other out.

I’m looking to purchase the DVDs and I’m confused. Getting the hill country and farm country bedding, says chapter 5 and 6. How many chapters are there, and which ones are 1-4?

Yep. That just means they were the fifth and sixth installments to the bedding dvd series. There’s Marsh and Swamp, also, but I don’t know what 1 and 2 are.

HB Hill Country and Marsh bedding are great to start with. I would highly suggest those first.

The all time tactical thread is huge. There are still some tidbits of info that are learned here and there but 90% of questions here can be directed to that thread. Spend a lot of time on it. A lot of time.
