Dan Infalt grew up and has lived in SE Wisconsin his whole life. He was the youngest of 11 children. Because he grew up without much money, hunting, fishing, trapping, and gathering were more of a way to survive than a hobby. It was during these hard times of putting food on the table that Dan developed the woodsman ship skills that he passes on today. Dan learned to hunt by studying the animals and the environment they live in. He has taken dozens of trophy whitetails on public and pressured land where anyone can hunt. Dan now works as a Prototype machinist. On the side he teaches workshops where he shares his personal scouting and hunting tactics, showing students the properties he hunts while examining some of his most successful set-ups on mature whitetail deer. Dan and his tactics have been featured in many magazines, such as Field & Stream, Deer & Deer Hunting, North American Whitetail, etc.. Dan has a forum based website - www.thehuntingbeast.com.

Wish I could give 5 👍 up for the show!!! And another 10👍 for the ending! HUNTIN BEAST!!!🦌🦌
Jeremy too funny your mouth reed story.
It's much funnier to me now than it was last September 😂. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love you guys. And sure do miss Dave. I’m sure he is enjoying looking down on you and James and not only getting laughs but also true happiness.
I have only met Aaron once, and I definitely like him. Plus, anyone who uses Stealth Strips is alright in my book
😂 at least y’all can hunt your public land! Here in Alabama they lease our state owned land to hunting clubs tax payers pay for that land!
Love the contenct Dan, thanks
Hey Josh, what kind of linesman belt do you use? Also hardness?
The bottle rockets are killin me lol
Great video. THP and the Hunting Beast are my top 2 shows to watch. Love that you guys are so real and show it how it is. At 74 I love hunting but probably should not be hunting from the side of a tree so I live those hunts through your lens. Keep it up.
Great show
Ol school knowledge 🦌
The Hunting Beast and The Hunting Public! Awesome podcast guys. Would love to see a THB and THP Sweatshirt !!! A THP "where's he bedded?" buck on the back and a THB "let's go get that buck!" With Dan's face on the front! Or a Hat with THP and THB letters on the sides and a big buck on the front!
Aaron, I have been watching since 2018. Please bring back hunt breakdowns, please! Even the failed hunts were good, i.e the Missouri hunt with you and Zach where you jumped a buck out of the river bed.
On a series note- reason I say this is because I’ve been after a younique buck for 3 years now I would def put you on his area just to learn- you don’t have to pay me to run cameras haha just to learn something cause this dude has stumped me and he is crazy cool hit me up
Hey aaron I’m not a pro by any means but just to learn from ya I would sure be your camera man in missouri since your only a few hours north of me .😂
My guy Geremy… that’s his voice. Love it. Standish!
Hey guys ,,I can see how it would be easy for some guy to be jealous of you guys ,,but for the life of me I dont understand how some guy could hate you guys after all the great footage and entertainment you bring to us. I want you guys to all know ,,that I am very grateful for every video you bring to the tube ,,,my wife and I both appreciate you all so much.
Enjoyed the show! I like these guys.
Being completely honest, I think the camera argument for the nay sayers isn't thought out terribly well. I think there is a bit of hypocrisy that they often don't see. Most of these Anti camera people are hunting with guns at times, some are even using crossbows shooting 450 ft a second. Tons of them are shooting compounds with state of the art arrows that are shooting 330ft a second. They probably all or mostly all hunt with muzzleloaders. The idea that technology is suddenly destroying hunting because of cameras I think is a hole ridden argument. Rifles, compound bows, crossbows and muzzleloaders have killed far more deer than a camera is responsible for. Bad hunters with guns will kill more deer than bad hunters with cameras. It's a double standard. If you're only using a traditional bow with wooden arrows hunting in flannel, then sure, maybe you have an argument. Thats just the weapons and not even talking about custom camoflauge, scent lock everything, ozonics, and the list goes on and on. As far as success rates, I rarely see someone shoot a buck because of their camera. They may know the buck is there. But it's not like they get a picture and walk out there and shoot it. Less than .001% of hunters do that. If you want to talk privacy on "public" land. Sure.. but it's public and it's not necessarily meant for you to go and have privacy on.. it's meant to be used by the public. There always seems to he something that hunters have to go after. It's been crossbows for the longest time. Now it's cameras. And strangely, I still see the best hunters shooting big bucks like Dan had shot 2 Booners on public the last 3yrs. There are more deer and bigger bucks than ever. Cameras aren't ruining the population. I just think that it's a change and people are making judgments based on emotion and not reason. You want to limit them to a certain amount per person on public.. I wouldn't argue that. But to get rid of them entirely is silly and not based on good arguments, in my opinion.
You don't think it's weird to have a video taken of yourself by someone you don't know when you're 2 miles in the woods? It's always made me uncomfortable. The regular cams aren't as bad because at least the guy behind the cam didn't just get a notification that second as I'm standing there in "his" spot. That's so unsettling.
@gordonneverdies well it's not "his" spot.. and personally I don't. It's not like people with cameras are serial killers and if they get a video of me I wave and keep moving. I've personally never heard of an altercation between two hunters because some guy got a picture or a video on his cell cam on public property. I don't think some guy is getting picture on his cell cam and rushing to the property to fight a guy that's legally there. I got one picture of a hunter last year on my cell cam. To me I used it to my advantage to not hunt in the area. That's just me.
@@PBAdventures146 I agree. It's not that intense of a situation I just dislike it personally.
Weather can offset hunting pressure leaving a lot more surplus animal opportunity
Product of your own self promoting. This is why public is now flooded. Stupid as people walking around ruining peoples hunts now. Cell cams everywhere.
I would love to see THP or some of the Beast crew show up and Hunt Flordia
NW Florida!!
There might be smaller deer down there but it's some fun hunting in Florida. Every deer hunter should experience Florida whitetail.
@@nockreel1190 there ain’t nothing fun about NW Florida public land deer hunting😂😂 I mean it’s hunting so it’s great but these deer are built different and get heavily pressured. Takes a few season to get them dialed in but once you do it gets better.
I may be in the minority but I enjoy the mystery of what may show up while hunting. And I don’t care for seeing a camera way back in the mountains of public land I hunt. It almost feels like I’m being watched. I just want to hunt and sometimes I like to put an hour or two in a hike to where I’m hunting. I’m not saying I’m the only one who has hiked to a spot to hunt it, but the time it takes to make that trip and effort it takes I know not many go in that far. I hate the fact somebody is watching that area with a camera and watching me. Get rid of cameras in public land. Go back to basics with reading the land and the sign.
Exactly
That's the fun part is not knowing what may appear..Now people just sit home don't hunt and stare at the cell camera.
Amen
I completely agree! I talk about this with my buddies all the time. All of this technology takes the sport and adventure away from hunting. Hunting should be about developing and putting your woodsmanship skills to the test.At least it feels more rewarding when you do end up being successful. Also, I couldn’t agree more that the anticipation of not knowing what could be coming from the next ridge over is the one of the most exciting parts about the experience !
Dan if you like the challenge of picking apart a new place somewhere people say “it can’t be done” come on up to northern Maine I think you’d really like it
I live in Maine north of bangor and would love to see him come here. I’d offer him a room and food to teach me what he could haha
Same I live in the county as well I think they should do a public land challenge up here!
Kentucky public land challenge 🏹 🦌 🙏
To easy! I say they need to come down to the gulf coast and get humbled by these deer. It’s supposed to be a challenge, not a cake walk
Ticks, chiggars, copper heads and cotton mouth, sounds like more of a danger
I've been hunting Clark County WI public for a good many years. It's really been tough the last few years. The county has been selling the timber and huge areas are being clear cut. It's forcing hunters into areas that usually I would have to myself. I still have a few areas, but have been going to neighboring counties for better opportunities.
Hopefully you dont go out there to hunt and see the guy who built all the blinds out there in yet another blind eating a raspberry preserve sandwiches and drinking beer. I think the Hunting Beast concept has caught on in swampland especially in WI and they are doing what you have always been doing by going where no man has gone before. Time to start hunting the parking lots again. LOL!
This is huge....I have already bumped 3 deer (at least one was a buck - I never saw the other two) out of thickets of young Pines or Hemlocks....All 3 times I was downwind and got within 20 yards. In my part of New Hampshire, deer seem to love bedding in them and there are plenty of places where young thickets have taken hold. Now all I need to do is get in a tree as close as possible undetected......It's all about bedding, bedding, bedding. It's kinda like the real estate market.....location, location, location.
Reminds me of a property that’s got real good older class deer on it. I’ve got a spot the higher the hunting pressure on the property gets the more deer end up in the spot I picked out. Peak pressure= the biggest bucks on the block are in that location. Seen it play out multiple years.
Dan , did you bear hunt this spring ?
No...
So I've always called them black berries because their not ready till blackish purple, we have raspberries but they stay red but get huge, I'm from pa though
There's way to many trespassing and poaching issues not to do anything about it. People are always taking advantage because they have zero morals and ethics.
Ah jeez… I am so embarrassed that they made fun of my super awesome blind.
I just can't get over how much of a wild man you looked like. Too funny. And then you talk, like you're normal. Super funny. Obviously your old lady, was okay with the look. I think I got away with it for about 2 years. 😣😅. Glad you still post the older vids. Still a boatload of learning there. Kind of looked like that buck was sniffing under a scrape? Then caught your scent. Not sure. Some people have a hard time taking a front/ head on shot. If I'm confident, I'm taking it. If not, I pass. But, I agree with you, I've had deer stop dead nuts, and others that just bolted. You never know. Part of the fun, I reckon. Anyways, good stuff as usual. Appreciate you dude.😊
Carol knew she married a feral human... She has spent a lifetime trying to tame and civilize me. There have been some advancments in her attemts, but for the most part once feral there will always be a part of you staring out the window and pacing at the cage door...
Always great content Dan! We always learn from a day in the woods whether fruitful or not.
Yeah buddy, it's nice to see kids/hunters grow. Good story, good you got alone tape.
Love watching you brother just wish we could scout here in the south like y’all during the summer but unfortunately we’d die from snake bites, ticks,chiggers,alligators,wasps and several other things lol especially in our swamps 🤣👍🏻
Are you going bear hunting in 2024 ???
no
love this one. reminds me of jumping a huge velvet buck off of an oxbow just like this on a stream that is seldom paddled.
Half & Half or heavy whipping cream on any berries really is better than plain milk.
Easy on the berries don’t wanna Biden yourself and have supreme swamp ass both figuratively and literally 😂
