Lol. I thought the exact same thing.why doesn't dan get some hip or chest waders? Tighty whiteys and no boots/socks walking through a swamp in late november....nuh uh
yeah but he hunts that marshy, swampy stuff all the time. Just wonder why he never uses em, at least in his vids Ive never seen him in a pair
First thing that came to mind after watching Dans vids and thinking of swampy no-mans land Ive got access to was, "Ive got to get some waders"
Makes me think there is actually a reason for his madness. Like most of his methods, it turns out to genius.
Mabye I'm thinking too much into it though. Hes good at killing bucks, not good at dressing himself?
Yeah I was thinking about that (Ive never used waders to know the real deal) but then I figured duck hunters are out in the same mess and they wear em.He has talked about using them some here and there. But, He hunts a lot in these marshes and swamps when they are frozen over. He has referenced articles and stories of hunters whose waders filled with water (in similar locations to his hunting style) after breaking through the ice or floating root mass, resulting in drowning. Heck, there's been a couple hunters a year die here in Texas from flooded waders.

I'm posting this here because I think it makes sense.
Pay attention to all the analysis he gives throughout this hunt. I think there are a lot of takeaways.
Things that stuck out to me:
1. He needs to be hunting from a tree saddle. The areas that were giving him problems were PERFECT for a saddle. PERFECT.
2. Notice how aggressive he gets. He trusts his instincts and moves right on top of the deer.
3. Notice how he's constantly moving - never really in the same area more than once or twice.
4. He focused on funnels and terrain. For those of you that don't know, Dan Infalt (The Hunting Beast) preaches buck bed hunting. While he did consider buck beds in his hunt, he really keyed in on terrain features that worked in his favor.
There's a lot to learn and enjoy about this video. It's long, but worth it.
What part of the country is he hunting?
