00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to This Country Life. I'm your host, Brent Reeves

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: from coon hunting to trot lining and just general country living.

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: I want you to stay a.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: While as I share my experiences and life lessons. This

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Country Life is presented by Case Knives on Meat Eaters

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Podcast Network, bringing you the best outdoor podcast.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: The airways had off.

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: All right, friends, grab a chair or drop that tail gate.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I've got some stories to share. Opportunities. Life is full

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: of choices, and every day those choices lead us down

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: the path of the rest of our lives. Now that

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: sounds kind of deep, but it's true. We determine our

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: path by what we choose to do with the opportunities

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: that are presented. I'm gonna talk all about it, but

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: first I'm going to tell you a story. This week's

16
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: story comes from Marshall Day, a nineteen year old lifelong

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: resident of Story County, Iowa. Story County is located in

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: what could.

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: Be the bullseye of the state of Iowa.

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: Ninety eight thousand, five hundred and sixty six islands lived

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: there amongst five hundred and seventy four square miles of freedom.

22
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: That's one hundred and seventy one point seven people per

23
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: square bill. That's not too bad. Everybody would have plenty

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: of room, and as long as you didn't run into

25
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: that point seven fella, you'd probably be able to sleep

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: good at night.

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: Anyway.

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: In Marshall's words and my voice, here we go. Recently,

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: my dad and I applied for Colorado tags as a group.

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: We didn't draw the elk tags, but when the uncleaned

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: tags came out there was some black bear tags available.

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: We thought, why not. It's cheaper than an elk. It

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: sounds like a whole lot of fun, and after two days.

34
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Of driving, we made it to the National Park campsite,

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: just down the road from where we had been spotting

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: water holes on the map. The next day, we drove

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: up to the trailhead near some water holes we wanted

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: to check out and started hiking. It was fairly easy

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: hiking at a low incline and with the top has

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: got to be around the next ben mindset, We eventually

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: found ourselves two and a half hours up the mountain.

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: We sat there for a bit and then we followed

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: our map the rest of the way to the water hole.

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: We didn't see any sign it first until I saw

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: a big pile of bear scat.

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: We thought that was.

47
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Promising, and judging by the amount of scat, the bear

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: was pretty big, and we found a big, old flat

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: rock to set against about one hundred yards up the

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: hill from the water hole, and we waited. We saw

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: a satellite bull come through in the middle of the day,

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: and then around six pm, I looked over my left

53
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: shoulders see a little ball of brown fur coming towards us.

54
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I pointed it to my dad, and I saw three

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: more that were coming with him. We quickly realized it

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: was a soal with three cubs. Surprisingly, the mama looked

57
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: to be less than one hundred pounds. She wasn't big

58
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: as nothing, and we couldn't believe something so small could

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: make a pile as big as what we saw. My

60
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: dad started taking pictures, and when they got about eight

61
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: yards away from us, we realized they had no idea

62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: that we were there, and they wanted to be right

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: where we were. Now realizing this, my dad yelled, hey bear,

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and the mama looked up, saw us and ran back

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: down the hill. One cup ran past my side on

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: a rock just less than two yards from me, and

67
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: one ran past my dad, and then the other one

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: just sat there looking at us for a couple of

69
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: seconds before running back down the hill after his mama.

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: We were both super excited and our hearts were racing

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: because that was both of our first experience with a

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: bear in the wild. After that, we sat with the

73
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: with the rest of the afternoon and saw five mule

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: deer and a herd of eighteen elkremore. We watched him,

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: and we could hear the bull bugle, and we just

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: bashed in God's creation. That right there was worth the

77
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: whole price of admission. The next day, we didn't see

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: anything until we were driving out that night and saw

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: a big black bear in the middle of the road.

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: He ran off up the mountain, so we decided that's

81
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: where we wanted to be when the sun came up.

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: So on the third day of that hunt, we found

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: a trail that went up that direction and we took off.

84
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: It was thick and it was steep, but we were

85
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: seeing acorns and berries and lots of bear skin. Constantly,

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: encouraged by the sign, we kept going. After two and

87
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: a half hours, we found ourselves only half a mile

88
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: from our vehicle, but up one thousand feet in elevation.

89
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: We came up to a spot that leveled off into

90
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: a bench about two hundred feet from the top, and

91
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: there was a big muddy puddle. We walked up to

92
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: it and there was bear tracks all around it, and

93
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, more scat and we found the perfect

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: ambush spot on the ledge above the water hole. And

95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: right about then we realized we'd forgotten to fill our

96
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: own water bottles.

97
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: We were too far.

98
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Up to go back, so we stayed there with the

99
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: little water that we had. The sun beating down on

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: us all day, giving us sunburns. It was pretty quiet

101
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: day and we hadn't seen anything for quite a while,

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: and around six that evening, nature called, so I stood

103
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: up and turned around the water the plants. No sooner

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: had I turned around, my dad started frantically whispering my name.

105
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: Marshall, Marshall, Marshall.

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: I assumed he was teasing me, because the last time

107
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: we were hunting in Colorado, I was doing the same

108
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: thing when some elk came out. I turned around to

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: see a bear coming to the water hole. Quietly got

110
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: my gun my shooting sticks in position, and right as

111
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: I was getting settled in on the bear, he turned

112
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: away staring at him behind. I didn't have a shot,

113
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and the bear hadn't moved, and my dad couldn't see him,

114
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: but was wondering why I was taking so long to shoot.

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Put my crosshairs on the bear and I waited. Finally

116
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: he turned just enough and I pulled the trigger. My

117
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: shot rang out, and the bear stood up and tumbled

118
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: through the muddy water fell down.

119
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: He was dead.

120
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: My legs started shaking from the adrenaline as my dad

121
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: and I celebrated. We got down to the bear and

122
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: we took pictures and we got him quartered and skinned out,

123
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: and I have to give a shot. Got out to

124
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: my amazing father who not only let me shoot first

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: instead of shooting the bearer himself while I was turned around,

126
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: but he skinned and quartered the bear for me and

127
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: took all the meat in his pack while I took.

128
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: The head and the high.

129
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: He really is the best father I could have, raising

130
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: me to follow God and love the outdoors, and.

131
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: I just couldn't ask for better Dad.

132
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: After getting the bear broke down and packed in our

133
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: backs in the dark, we started the steep hike down.

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: I've been out of water for over hour and a

135
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: half and now Dad was very low. The hike down

136
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: was harder than the hike up, and we were carrying

137
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: lots of weight in our packs, and it was dark.

138
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Finding out way down, man, it wasn't easy.

139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: We almost got stuck multiple times, and at one point

140
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: we stopped on the mountain to take a breathe, and

141
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: I was wondering if we would ever make it off

142
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: that mountain at all. Halfway down, ran out of water.

143
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: It'd be another two and a half hours of stumbling

144
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: down through the thick brush before we finally made it

145
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: back to the vehicle, dropped our packs and started chugging water.

146
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: We gave thanks for a successful hunt, and more importantly

147
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: for getting down.

148
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Safe and sound.

149
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: We went out the next day for Dad, but we

150
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't see anything. But I thank him every time I

151
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: tell that story and will for the rest of my

152
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: life for putting my experience above his and letting me

153
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: get the bear. He really is the best father I

154
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: could ask for. And now, with some bear meat in

155
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the freezer and a great story to go with it,

156
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: bear hunting might just become a yearly thing for us.

157
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: And according to Marshall Day of Story County, Iowa, that's

158
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: just how that happened. That story is right on theme

159
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: today with what I'm talking about, which is taking an

160
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: opportunity seeing where it goes. I got a feeling the

161
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: Marshall that as you get older, the best part of

162
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the hunt ain't gonna have anything to do with a

163
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: bear or who got to shoot it first. It'll be

164
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: more about the opportunity you had to spend time together,

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: and y'all did it. Thanks for sharing, buddy. Opportunities come

166
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: along every day in one form or another, and what

167
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: we do with them can determine the direction of the moment,

168
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the day, or the rest of your life. Some we

169
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: may never know the circumstances of based on our decisions.

170
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: A lot is left up to fate or the grand design.

171
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: And unless you're reading a fictional book like the ones

172
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: they call Choose your Own Adventure, you'll never know what

173
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: might have been, what you avoided, or what you gained

174
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: in the totality of the circumstances. You can look at

175
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: the obvious example of say skipping out on going to

176
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: the movies and watching a scary show. You can say, well,

177
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get scared because I didn't see it, But

178
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: could you have met a new friend? Ran into an

179
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: old acquaintance found a five dollar bill. Who knows that

180
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: you could have had nightmares. It seems to me that

181
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: if a hurricane and the Gulf can be theoretically caused

182
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: by the flutter of a butterfly's wing on the other

183
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: side of the planet, the possibilities are literally limitless. Now

184
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: I think back on different times when opportunities and choices

185
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: arose in my life and how the decisions I made,

186
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: even the ones that seemed so inconsequential, continue to have

187
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: a measurable impact on my existence and those around you.

188
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Often get asked, what was my favorite part of my

189
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: law enforcement career. Was it wearing a uniform or when

190
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: I worked undercover. It's hard to really say with absolute

191
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: certainty because each was vastly different, But I always say

192
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: working undercover and give this analogy for the reason why

193
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: when I was wearing a uniform and working patrol, I

194
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: was reacting to the situations that arose.

195
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: If I sitting on.

196
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: The side of the highway working radar, someone had to

197
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: come by me violating the traffic laws before I acted.

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: The same with answering calls that came in through dispatch.

199
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: There had to be a report of a situation requiring

200
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: an officer to direct their attention and go to wherever

201
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: That report described as needing the police. In other words,

202
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: we just waited around for something to happen. Now, obviously,

203
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: patrolling throughout the jurisdiction in a marked car, ever vigilant

204
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: has a place and to turn crime and buffoonery. But

205
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to quantify how much, because we can only

206
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: estimate the percentage of crime that's being reduced by the

207
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: presence of a marked police car in a particular location.

208
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: The same for speed enforcement. The goal of writing speeding

209
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: tickets is to get folks to slow down. If you

210
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: get them to slow down, you automatically reduce accidents and

211
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: property damage and injuries and fatalities. But how much is

212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: reduced is only an estimation because there's no algorithm you

213
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: can use to get an exact figure. Crime and accident

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: statistics are all subject to comparisons to the same areas,

215
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: using past reporting data and averaging out the differences. Not

216
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: always sounds boring, but I'm going somewhere with this. When

217
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: I worked undercovering narcotics, I could lay my hands on

218
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: a tangible and measurable amount of drugs that we'd seize

219
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: that would not stay on the streets. I could look

220
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: and review at the end of the year at what

221
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: we'd done and say unequivocally that what we'd seized and

222
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: measured down to the ground was judicated through court and

223
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: destroyed and it wouldn't hurt nobody. I could see what

224
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: we'd done as opposed to what analytical probabilities estimated we did.

225
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,479
Speaker 1: That to me was the difference between reactive law enforcement

226
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: waiting for a call to come in versus proactive law enforcement,

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: which was us going out and purposely targeting individuals who

228
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: were in the drug trafficking business. We were working hard,

229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: in long hours and season opportunities as that came up

230
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: to do our due diligence of fighting the drug problems

231
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: in our district, and doing so, we missed time at home,

232
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: time with our children, friends and families, and it was

233
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: a heavy cost in the end for all involved, especially

234
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: the little ones who had no choice but to accept

235
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the hand that they'd been dealt. I talk about this

236
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: only because the pathway we take effects not only us

237
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: but everyone around us. It doesn't have to be negative either.

238
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean the decisions I made good and bad, all

239
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: led me to where I am today, and the same

240
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: for you too, and I hope you're in as good

241
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: a place as I am. Now, let me tell you

242
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: about the place I was in a couple of weeks ago.

243
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I was hound with a friend and was getting to

244
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: his house late before heading to the stand the next morning,

245
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: and I was relying solely upon his knowledge of the

246
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: intel he'd been gathering the weeks prior to my last

247
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: minute announcement that I was coming to hunt. His past

248
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty plus years of hunting there wasn't hurting my chances either.

249
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: It was after ten o'clock when I got there that night,

250
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: and my friend Quinton was waiting up for him. We

251
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: sat in his living room until nearly midnight, going over

252
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Moultrie Sale cam picks until we came up with the plan.

253
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: The plan was for me to go and climbing a

254
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: stand where we didn't have a camera, wind direction, his

255
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: history of encounters, how the land laid forming a great

256
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: travel corridor, and mainly a gut feeling from Quinton convinced

257
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that both of us good enough that that was the

258
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: spot for.

259
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: Me to sit.

260
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: And I knew where several other stands were located because

261
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: I'd seen him the previous spring when he and I

262
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: were turkey hunting up there.

263
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: The one that I was going to.

264
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: Try and find the next morning, tark cellar from a

265
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: point he'd share with me on on axe.

266
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: I had never been there.

267
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: I admit that not having seen it in the daylight

268
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: had me a little anxious as I made the half

269
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: my wall from my truck up to the area where

270
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the stand was looking. They're a good deer on this farm,

271
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to contaminate the area with my

272
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: ascent anymore than I had to by walking all over

273
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: creation trying to find a lock on stand that I'd

274
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: never seen, and it was manufactured purposely not to stand out.

275
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: I had my tree saddled in my backpack just in

276
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: case I couldn't find it Quickly. I picked out a

277
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: tree from the from the map we'd studied the night before,

278
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: sitting in his living room that while I couldn't tell

279
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: how good it looked from the ground, or if it

280
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: even offered any concealment or a place to hide and shoot,

281
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: but it was going to be a starting point for

282
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: me to find a tree that I could get into.

283
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: If I didn't immediately find the stand he'd hung earlier

284
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: in the year. There wasn't any reflective tape or mark

285
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: trails that led to the stand, So in my mind,

286
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: I decided, as I approached the area where it was

287
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: supposed to be that I just climbed the first tree

288
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: that I thought the stand would be if I hung

289
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: it myself. I crossed the corner of that field and

290
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: I stood thirty yards at the edge of the woods,

291
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: looking into the darkness of the hardwood timber With the

292
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: red List headlight. I take comfort in the fact that

293
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: the deer struggle to see most shades red. I call

294
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: that red light my cloaking device. Now I'm reminded every

295
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: time I say that around my friend Michael Roseman, who

296
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: makes the headlight. I'm talking about the same light that

297
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Steve Vanilla likes so much that he bought seven of

298
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: them from Michael for his friends and family. I say,

299
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: my red List light is virtually invisible to deer. Michael

300
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: laughs and says, they can still see you, dummy.

301
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: Well that's true.

302
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: They can't still see me because they have excellent night vision.

303
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: But if I use the wind to my advantage like

304
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: I had that morning, I take my time keeping noise

305
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: to a minimum like I had that morning, and use

306
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: a walking life that they won't see from a distance,

307
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: the chances are higher I can get into my hunting

308
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: spot undetected like I had that morning.

309
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: It's my cloaking device, Michael, leave me along.

310
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Well. I didn't see a stand hanging, so I checked

311
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: the map again on my phone, and I walked toward

312
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: what I thought was the tree that I'd pick out

313
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: while sitting on Quinn's couch. As I got closer, I

314
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: saw the climbing steps that were strapped to the tree.

315
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: I followed them up the trunk and I found the platform. Bingo,

316
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm in business. I took it as a good sign.

317
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: After I climbed up, my anxiety was lessening with each

318
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: full of the rope. As I hung my backpack and

319
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: my bowl, I settled into the seat about forty five

320
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: minutes before daylight. I'd rather be an hour early than

321
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: a minute late, and that applies to everything I had

322
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: three days delegated at the last minute the bow hunt.

323
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: It was a last minute decision.

324
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: After I got home from being in Louisiana, Tennessee in

325
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: eastern Arkansas over the past two weeks, my girls were

326
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: headed to the in laws in Texas, and I was

327
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: scheduled to hunt here in Arkansas, but it was insanely

328
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: hot for bow hunting where I planned to go. I

329
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: hung a camera over there a couple of weeks ago,

330
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: and the mosquitoes were so bad that I knew they'd

331
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: still be bad, and too bad for me to sit

332
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: comfortably in the tree. All the activity, according to the

333
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: camera was at night because.

334
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: Of the heat. So what was a boy to do?

335
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: Only one thing to do, go where the mosquitoes ain't,

336
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: and that was a few hours north at Quinton's house.

337
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I'd taken an opportunity. I'd made a bold decision on

338
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: a whim. I'd driven six hours the evening before, and

339
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: was now as silly as it sounds, sitting in a

340
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: tree in the dark, waiting on daylight that was still

341
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: a little other thirty minutes away. There wasn't a bird chirping,

342
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: There wasn't an owl hooting, there was dang sure, it

343
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: wasn't no mosquito buzzing. There wasn't a sound at all,

344
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: not one, just silence. Eventually, the sun started rising in

345
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: the east and the woods started waking up. Squirrels were

346
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: jumping from limb to limb. Birds were singing, and I

347
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: was straining for the first sign of a deer moving

348
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: in any direction. I was also looking around at the

349
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: location of that stand, and I swear Quinn hung that

350
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: joker in the exact place I would have. Either I

351
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: was as smart as him, he was as smart as me,

352
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: or neither one of us knew anything about how deer

353
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: moved along pinch points through the woods, following the terrain.

354
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: At seven point thirty, a turkey gobbled like it was

355
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: spring less than one hundred yards in front of me,

356
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: and I could hear turkeys jumping all through the woods

357
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: in front of them. And while I was soaking in

358
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: all that turkey entertainment, I heard a leaf crunched by

359
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: behind me. I glanced over my shoulder, and there walked

360
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the door the size of a yearling giraffe, just as

361
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: relaxed as she could be. I guessed her to be

362
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: twenty five yards behind me. I couldn't swear to it

363
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: because I left my range finder sitting on the tailgate

364
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: of my truck, along with my binos and everything else

365
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I told in my harness. Had I had enough sense

366
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: to remember, i'd have known it was twenty five yards

367
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure if everyone else does this or not,

368
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: but I memorize every distinctive feature all around me and

369
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: get the yardage to it. I know some of you

370
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: saying everyone does that, you idiot, but I'm not sure

371
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: if they do or not not. Like the way I

372
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: do I sing it. I used a tune in my

373
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: head and I put the words to it as yardages.

374
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot easier for me to remember and that

375
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: way than it is. Gum tree twenty five yards, bigger,

376
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: gum tree thirty four yards, pile of leaves twenty one

377
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: so on. I do it clockwise in order from starting

378
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: at the twelve o'clock position, which is directly in front

379
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: of the stand, regardless of the direction that I go

380
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degrees all the way around it.

381
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't memorize many, just the ones that naturally catch

382
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: my attention when I look in that direction, five or

383
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: six of them at the most. But I need a

384
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: range finder to do all that, and I didn't have one.

385
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: That was an opportunity missed. But I played football long

386
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: enough to know what ten yards looks like, and imagining

387
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: ten yard increments laid out in front of me. I

388
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: guessed the trail I had walked over that was behind

389
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: me to be two and a half of them. Now,

390
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: my most favorite math teacher on this spinning orbit that

391
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: we called home, Miss Brenda McDougall. You can check my figures,

392
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: but I think that adds up to twenty five yards.

393
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: I was confident it was, and a later measurement with

394
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: the range finder would prove I was spot on at

395
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: twenty five point one yards, but that would come later.

396
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: And this was now, And as all of this was

397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: playing out inside my cranium, that deer trail the football

398
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: overlay I imagine intersecting with the trail. The dinosaur of

399
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: a doe that had just passed behind me stopped and

400
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: looked back the way. She came, y'all know what that means?

401
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Something else is coming now. I figured it was a

402
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: yearling deer, and I was half right. It was a deer,

403
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: but it weren't no yearling. I immediately guessed him to

404
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: be one hundred and forty plus buck, and I never

405
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: looked back at his antmers.

406
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: I grabbed my bow, got.

407
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: It and the arrow I had waiting on the rest,

408
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: and slipped them both around the left side of that tree.

409
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: As the buck went behind some brush on the right.

410
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: He stayed right in her tracks, just walking slow, and

411
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: stopped in the clearest spot there was on that trail

412
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: twenty five yards behind me, and just looked at that door.

413
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: Who was starting to walk slowly away.

414
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't even remember doing it, but the next thing

415
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: I know, I'm at full draw with my twenty yard

416
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: pin right at the top of where that buck's lungs

417
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: would be, with my finger resting on the trigger, and

418
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't pull it. This was a chip shot, and

419
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't turn that air loose because of a limb

420
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: the size of my little finger that branched out and

421
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: covered his vitals. For a moment, I thought about trying

422
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: to thread the needle, and immediately remember the time I

423
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: tried that in Kansas on an absolute giant, I hit

424
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: a limb that I didn't see that sent my arrow

425
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: into orbit, and that deer on a fast train to Georgia.

426
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: So I followed him at full draw until he once

427
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: again walked out from behind all the trees and all

428
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: the limbs and stopped dead, still, quartering away forty five yards.

429
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: Or was it fifty yards? Or was it forty eight yards?

430
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have a yardage song to sing because I

431
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: didn't have my range finder that I needed to write

432
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: it with. Not seeing a limb and missing the deer

433
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: is one thing. Misjudging a distance and missing one is another.

434
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: But the granddaddy of them all is guessing wrong and

435
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: making a bad shot on him. That is the most

436
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: egregious error of all and.

437
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: The easiest to avoid.

438
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: You don't take that opportunity is one way to look

439
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: at it, and I think that's the wrong way to

440
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: see it. You take the opportunity to not make a

441
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: bad shot, and you wait for another day. I waited

442
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: two more days and I never saw him again. But

443
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: the year ain't over, and he's still there. We get

444
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: pictures of him occasionally. He ain't going nowhere, and neither

445
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: are we. We met that morning because he took an

446
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to chase a female and I took the opportunity

447
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: to find a cooler place to hunt. We parted ways,

448
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: having no interaction other than one of us feeling richer

449
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: for just being there. Be a good deal if all

450
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: our encounters went that way. With everything, and especially everyone,

451
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 1: Thank y'all so much for listening to me here on

452
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: this Country Life and Claybow's Baggery shows. There's all kinds

453
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: of stuff you can listen to today, and if you're

454
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: hunting something else to add to the rotation, we've got

455
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff here at Meat either from

456
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: outdoor trivia and the country music and some show enough

457
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: how to episodes on all the things that we love

458
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: to do.

459
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: You can find something that you'll like. I bet you

460
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: we will.

461
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Until next week. This is Brent Reeves signing off. Y'all

462
00:25:49,720 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: be careful
