Kind Of A Lopsided Comparison "Saddle vs Stand a real world mobile comparison"

Somebody help me and tell me what a guy with less than 2000 subscrbers on his channel has too ad to a video with Dan the Man Infalt in it? I just watched his most recent video of him throwing old treestwnds around and had to chuckle. Everybody trying to be a youtube celebrity lol maybe I'm missing something but dan he ain't. Maybe get EBERHART on there with Dan.

probably not much to offer that you don't think you know all already..... I highly recommend you bypass it
 
IMO, You don't need to be a YouTube "Influencer" to know what you're doing. When it comes to saddle hunting, Dave knows what he's doing.

It's been said up above numerous times but I'll repeat it anyway. The saddle hunter in Dan's video was a self-described "rookie". That makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of set up strategies. Its also been pointed above that, at the end of the day, its likely that these guys will show us that either means is effective and it's just up to each person's individual need which would work better for them. I personally don't see the need for the drama here.
My queation was just who is the dude and why is he considering himself on the same teer as Dan? What makes him different than the other dude does he kill a lot of big bucks or what all I got to go on is his channel which is him standing in his driveway or kitchen talking. Not trying to offend but why do I want to see the same video twice it's been done already and the guy wasn't great but why is this better???

I think you need to get a little prospective. Read a little more, search out your info. If you consider youtube popularity your standard, that's pretty sad. That's a good way to miss out.
Don't know Dave, but do know he knows more then I.

I will give a small perspective! There are some members on here, that are definitely Grandfathers and Pioneers of Saddles. There are members on here with years of experience and success, that rival or surpass Dan!!!! Just because someone only has a small YouTube channel doesn’t make him inexperienced in the Saddle Community. The person in whom you refer has been around the Saddle Block for many miles.
 
It's good to see you back @DaveT1963. I just went back through the thread to see if I missed something but, it looks like everything said about you was complimentary because people were relieved to see that someone with your experience was doing a video with Dan. The guy he used in his last video didn't have near your experience. It looks like people were talking about you as a positive representative of saddle hunting.
I thougt the same thing. Im also nit gonna kiss anyones backside either. My freezer is full every year and i do that how i like to do it.
I dont have a clue of where dtoms got the idea or wrong idea of soneone doubting his almightyness lol. Very experienced in his niche as is a ton of other guys here who are never noted. @Nutterbuster is a killing machine with half the time Big D has in the woods.
Jarred kills hammers every year as does a few other guys here. They all have thier own methods and ways. There is no wrong way.
Ego’s create alot of problems in the world.
listen man its deer hunting. These guys are not curing cancer. do what works and respect what works for others.
These attitudes is specifically why i left the beast. It git really bad over there.
Respecting a way someone does things is great but i wont respect someone fir shoving something down peoples throats.
or bashing a way someone does things.
who the hell am i or anyone to do that?
Im right behind big D with 30 years experience of everything used. Killed 100’s of deer and let 100’s walk. I dont need a big flex postfrom two guys flexing egos about stand vs saddles.
ill be sitting that one out.
ive sat on 2-4’s/ 6-8’s all the down to a crotch of the tree. You name it ive killed deer in.
am i trying to impress anyone? Nope.
Your equipment and your knowledge of your equipment is important. I think it is an extension of you. Ive always thought that. Again use the best system your comfortable with and are good at.
Not systems Dave Toms or Dan Infalt, or the drury brothers, etc
I hope this kind of reaction doesnt keep happening with these big egos
Ill be ghost from this forum quick.

Amen bro. Amen. Great response
 
First, Dan and I know each other. You can check over on Beast and ask Dan what he thinks of me and why he'd lower the bar so low with me.

Second the video is NOT going to be a bash on methods.... It will be a comparrison. I have ZERO, ZIP, NO desire to bash him or hus methods. I will represent what a saddle offers.

My point was there is WAY too much bashing these days. If you don't think stands are effective your blind or biased. If you dont think saddles are effective your blind or biased. Tons of great bucks fall to each..... IME its more about the hunter's ability to use a tool not the tool itself.

We, as saddle hunters, do no one, especially each other, any favors by constant attacking.

Personally, social media is not my favorite thing. I never monetized my channel and frankly never really cared how many followers I have on youtube. Originally a few of us old timers posted videos to share ideas in a time when saddle hunting was not so popular.

Anyway, my comments were directed to a few here, and a few in youtube I deleted.... But mostly just a general statement for the nit picking to stop. I don't know the guy in the video, personally but man he didn't deserve some of the comments... At least he's trying. Thankfully I may get to meet him soon and will maybe get a chance to help him be more comfortable.

for those that are interested, you can send Dan or I suggestions in what you'd like to see.

BTW im still learning things every sit..... Wouldnt want it any other way
 
it seems every post should start with no hard feelings bro.... its like walking on egg shells now.not trying to hurt anyones feelings with this post to make that clear
It's more like when your kid says something stupid and you smack them in the back of the head. Probably should have picked out a few more switches in their childhood...

So we're are his buck pics? Dan has a barn wall full of them and youtube videos of him shooting deer every year. Somebody help me out. Evedybidy here is saying he's all that and a bag of chips and he may be but we all know talk is cheap you can say you're anything on the internet and the guys video is literally him just tossing an old stand in the driveway and saying kids these days. The point Dan makes is a stand is best for killing big bucks so it don't matter how good you climb and whether your a grandfather of safdle hunting if you're not using it to kill big deer like Dan thats my point.

For the record, the idea for a video comparison between these guys methods didn't start here. It started on Dan's site in a discussion between Dan and Dave. If you don't feel the need to watch it then the solution's quite simple, just don't watch it. But please, don't be starting drama here that we just don't need.

Maybe the proof is in the history of his posts! Do you know how may trophy deer I’ve killed? I don’t because I’m a meat hunter, and a very successful one. Do you know how many big antlered deer are hanging on my wall? 0, why? Because I’m a meat hunter, I’ve killed them and eat them. To anyone who wants advice or wants to listen to me, ask. But I don’t need to post record book bucks on line or video to be a successful hunter. Read some of Dave’s posts from 4 years ago, maybe you can learn a bit, maybe not. Don’t judge a mans hunting success from antlers on a wall! It doesn’t alway do it justice. Wisdom can come from words more than from mounts

No hard feeling bro......

Where u big buck pics... How many utube peeps u got? Does it even matter? If someone with more experience saddle hunting (that's why u here correct? To learn about saddles on saddlehunter) offers up advice u can either listen or not. Making video is hard and even if I don't really like the content I appreciate peeps taking time to try to help others. I was happy to see @DaveT1963 return but it seems it'll be short lived cause u assume things and make snarky comments. Maybe u are meaning well and ur true intentions are good but I and it seems others took ur comments as u being a prick
