so cool how we can all gather around in a lil community like this and root for the guy that's doing it like us

Big Dan is back in town the big buck serial killer strikes again. Congratulations brother!!!!!

Congratulations Dan! No other person has done more to teach other hunters than you have throughout the years. Thank you! Definitely well deserved.

Dan I have watched 100's of hours of how to deer hunt videos by all THE big names and you are miles above them all. So much so I watch no one else now but you Superb unmatched content.

The entire story, the struggle, the highs and lows, incredible.

Your story is our story! Thank you Dan for making deer hunting fun again!

The tank top over the long sleeve is an absolute power play. What a unit.

As I sat there watching this video on my computer, I couldn't help but wonder why I was more excited watching you shoot this buck than to see many other people succeed. I think that it's because in some ways, many of us hunters consider you our leader. We listen to what you say, try to implement what you teach and look to you for whitetail wisdom from someone who hunts like the rest of us. And when the leader succeeds, you in some way feel a part of it and the team succeeds. That was an awesome video start to finish! Congratulations on a giant! Please give Carol a hug from all of us for letting you go hunting on her birthday! What a gift for all of us, but especially you! What a well deserved giant!!!

The reason for the increased pressure on public these days is a direct result of channels like this one and the Hunting Public. Whether that’s a good thing or bad is not for me to decide. I like watching both. What a beast buck!!!

I think I like this video the best. I've never seen you get so excited Dan. Great buck..

Thanks for taking us along the hunt with you Dan congratulations buddy.

Me screaming it’s right there and then getting pumped when you saw him through the brush! I’m so happy for you Dan!

You are the man!! The level of woodsmanship you possess in unreal, and your work ethic is second to none. Great job

I am not a "regular commenter " even though I watch all the Beast and Before the Echo videos.... but I had to congratulate you, Dan! I have been cheering you on silently last year and this year. And I was SO excited to see this video pop up on my feed. You deserve this! I had a rough season last year as well, and this season hasn't been much better so far, but this video has inspired me to persevere! Thank you! And great job really portraying all the emotions of having a rough year and getting some redemption. Can't wait to jump in the Beast stand tomorrow!

Lesson of the day "keep grinding an your season can turn on a dime" congrats!

Just saw the thumb nail and said to my wife, damn Dan did it again. She goes who's that? I thought for a sec, then replied "my hunting idol". Let's go!!!

Dan I’ve been following you for several years now and you’re such an inspiration. Past couple years I’ve been blessed to harvest a couple mature white tails in the high 140 inch class And your hunting tactics are to take credit for that. Out of the hundreds and probably thousands of hunting videos I’ve watched this one hits home. You are my hunting mentor and I just want to say thanks for what you do!

What a comeback Dan,congratulations on this beautiful buck.

Congrats Dan on a hell of a buck! This gives me the motivation to get back at it. Warm weather and seemingly non existent bucks have me mentality and physically exhausted so far this season, seeing you struggle, then eventually succeed is the kick in the arse I need! Congrats again...almost forgot to wish your wife a happy birthday 🎂

Glad to see someone with your experience still getting so excited.

Watched your video last night and your persistence so I immediately went and jumped into my stand. And shot a dandy buck with my Mathews. Thank you for your inspiration.

Congrats Dan! Very well deserved! Your persistence and attitude is inspiring.

Awesome, Job Dan. The beast is back 👏 🎉🙌

“Got me another one!” Classic. Good for you Dan great job man

I get a chuckle every time I hear you say I got me another one. Congrats Dan

Congratulations Dan, hoping I can seal the deal despite my sting of bad luck and not as much time hunting due to family medical issues. Best of luck on taking another giant.

Congrats. U know all your followers have 1 word that describe you...Legendary!

Glad you got your camera working for that one!

Wow!! What a buck! Another one for the wall Dan, congrats.

The coolest part of all this is that Dan took us on the journey with him. My jaw was dropped the whole time as soon as that buck walked towards Dan to the end of the video. Great buck Dan! Would love to hear if you had history with it at all or if you knew it was in there!

Absolutely incredible perseverance and will to endure hardships for the chance at glory. Congratulations Dan absolutely outstanding. Ps Happy Birthday Carol.

Wow!! Way to stick with it! That grunt call looks exactly like the one I carry except mine is all black. I called one in this evening with it and a bleat together but passed. That call has actually worked very well for me. Congratulations on a stud!

Awesome that you were able to get it on camera after the Iowa struggle!

Love the excitement,brought the little kid out of ya,been watching you for ever .needed that one,well deserved .first time sit does it again,call the poll bearers,lol

You are the GOAT of deer hunting as far as i'm concerned. So much fun to go hunting with you. Thanks Dan.

Awesome buck and video brother. Congratulations!

I'm super happy for you !!! Puts the fire IN ALL OF US !! Great Buck !

What an incredible story to that hunt! Wow! Congratulations Dan! If that doesn’t get you fired up watching this video than nothing will!!! 👍👍👍

Beautiful buck dan. He Will look great on the wall. Glad you got this one on video.

Dan, you pushed yourself further, and I learned from you that you cannot give up. I gotta Push myself further. Congrats on an unreal buck, heck of a shot too.

The beast strikes! Never doubt this man! Hardest working man in hunting!

Dan got himself another one! Congratulations on a great buck, best video on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing your story

Who else feels like they were sitting right next to Dan in the tree stand that was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing that Dan, you are the man.

Great buck Dan! I laughed out loud at the bow hauler still attached. It shows the real side of bow hunting no matter how much experience you have.

It’s definitely all about the story’s and the adventure and can’t get much better meat awesome buck congrats 👍👍👍

Man, the struggles last year. The iowa low blow this year, and to see it finally come together for you had me on the edge of me seat. What a giant dan. Congrats and thanks for all you do.

Congratulations Dan .. I was hunting for one buck only 6 years ago. I saw him 10 times while farming or observation stand from 500 yards. The only time I finally saw him while hunting was a night everything seemed to go wrong. I had doe snort to my east close to 50 times in five minutes. They finally walked out and a half hour later he came from my south traveling downwind of bedding areas. His mistake was allowing me a broadside opportunity that worked out for a lifetime buck

"2 warriors met in the thicket today, only one came out alive" Heck of a buck Dan!

I needed this -had a bad hit on the biggest buck of my life on my birthday last weekend. Hit the shoulder…Threw everything in the basement. Need to get back out there…

Awesome hunt dan!! I Love how you said "time to get the paul bearers out here" lol

It gets tough. It gets depressing sometime. With all the " hunters" in the woods these days it's really hard to target a big buck and be able to get in there where there aren't a bunch of idiots. It takes hard work. It takes pushing and pain. Then that one moment all the bs goes away and you wrap your hands around him and it gives you hope. It gives you pleasure. It gives you facts. That you it! I did it to Dan. Hell of a buck. It Gets tougher the older you get. I know. But as long as they're is a beat in my heart and a breath in my lungs i will push on. Congratulations on a heck of a buck.

What a buck congrats dan cant think of a better man that deserves the payoff of a job well done. And gotta love james being there to share thst memory and to give you some crap to. Noticed it was a chocalate rack and looking at your wall dont remember seeing one is this a first by chance.

Congrats love it when they keep getting bigger and bigger the closer you get to it awesome. Going to be hard hard to top that in Iowa

So happy for you Dan! You are the MAN for doing what you do. I know how hard it is and can imagine all the work you put in on moving around and setting up. Also the downs of loosing a buck on opening day myself so congrats on the REDEMPTION! Hopefully I can turn it around down here in Alabama like you did.

Boy that bucks a Korker! I've always just gave the deer a whistle they stop dead never spook. Sometimes that bleating spooks them I've found. Awesome hunt congrats that's a Dandy! Hide those tongues makes for better pics. 👍🏻🦌🇺🇸

Congratulations Dan. Well deserved. Well from all the comments, looks like we are all on your team! I feel like I was successful just from watching. Thanks for taking us on your hunt.

Awesome buck Dan! Congrats! Even got a good laugh when I heard “I escaped Carols birthday” 😂

Dan I am so happy for you. Congratulations on an awesome buck. What a season for you: the return of the rat slayer (who shot a giant), and now you arrow a monster!

Congratulations Dan Your hard work and persistence paid off on a mega monster Amazing buck for an amazing guy great job brother congratulations

I think I have seen almost all your buck kill videos and I can't remember a buck ever having you so rattled after the shot. It's pretty cool that after all these years and the amount of big bucks you have killed one can still get your heart pumping the way this one did. Congratulations he is a fricken stud!!!

Old man's still got it 😂 Great buck Dan

Holy smokes what a buck. Big congrats to ya brotha. Couldn't have happened for a better guy

Congrats, Dan!! After all the giants you’ve slain, it’s awesome to see you get so excited over one more. What a legend.
