1
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: in the field. This show is about translating my hard

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: won experiences into tips and tactics they'll get you closer

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: to your ultimate goal, success in the field. I'm Remy Warren.

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: This is Cutting the Distance. Well, we made it one

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: weeks of awesome podcast action, as I like to think

7
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: of it, and it's all really thanks to you, the questions,

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: the comments, mainly the support. I can't believe it's actually

9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: been a hundred podcasts. I thought this week it might

10
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: be kind of fun to just mix it up a

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: little bit and tell some of the stories behind the stories,

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: like a behind the scenes of Cutting the Distance podcast

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: reminisce over, maybe a few of my favorite moments, do

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of trivia, we give something away, and

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: then I'll give you a episode one guaranteed tip for success.

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: This will be a tip that will pretty much guarantee

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: you follow these three steps and you can feel any tag.

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I could guarantee that. I

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: don't know what the rebate would be if it doesn't

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: work out, but I definitely think that I'm up to

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: that challenge. So let's jump into the story of the

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: first time I recorded at cutting the distance episode and

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: what was actually going on in the background. I think

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: one of the things that allows me to do this

25
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: podcast is kind of the format that it's set up.

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: As you may notice that it is pretty much just

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: me talking into the microphone and like, well, that's a

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: little bit different, or this this kind of format. You know,

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: you don't maybe don't hear a lot of solo style

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: podcast but if you think about it, a lot of

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: things that do are solo, self filming, solo hunter. Um man,

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: everyone's probably man, this guy Reamy is a real loner,

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: and that's not the case. I do enjoy the company

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: of humans. I do love being out in nature more.

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: But my lifestyle is very nomadic. I try to live

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: by this principle be out hunting as much as possible,

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: and so far I've been able to successfully manage that. Now,

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I think that like with guests and other things, and

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: and that kind of idea just wouldn't really fit into

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: that because I'm traveling a lot, I've gone a lot.

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: Connecting might be difficult to have a very limited service

42
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the year. Actually, to

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: be honest, um so I was like, Okay, what's a

44
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: way that we can kind of make this podcast where

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I What I wanted to do is accomplish a few things.

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to tell stories and entertain

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: because I enjoy the process of telling stories, and I

48
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: think that's one thing that really makes Hunters kind of unique.

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Like there's there's stories, but there's something about a hunting story,

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: and so I was like, I want to be able

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: to share those stories, but also like provide some kind

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: of tips to make people better. I feel it's very

53
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: fortunate to follow that lifestyle be in the field as

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: much as possible, and I feel so fortunate that I

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: was like, I want to be able to share what

56
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: I learned with other people. So this kind of format

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: came about. But the first episode was episode one back

58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: in twenty nine, and it's about a story about missing

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: the biggest buck of my life. But I actually think

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: the better story for the podcast would have been what

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: I was doing while I was recording that first episode.

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: I was actually in New Zealand and I had gotten

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: just gotten done off of a hunt and I'm I

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: don't know, I like hunt til the very last minute.

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if if You'm like, hey, I've got

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: a ten day hunt and I hunt til like I

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: need to be back. And it was the same deal. So,

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: like I had some bad weather towards the end of

69
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: the trip, and I actually I was like, Okay, I

70
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: gotta go out on Tar hunt hunter as much as

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: possible while i'm there, because like, I need one star

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: hunt any one more fixed before I get home. And

73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I can't remember how long I was there that that trip,

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: maybe like two or three months, and um, so I'm like,

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna get this the last Tar trip

76
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: in and unfortunately, it was like really kind of ship

77
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: weather and I got rained out and it was kind

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: of a bummer. But um, anyways, I was like, Okay,

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm thinking I'm not going to

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: be able to get a hunt in because the weather

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: is so bad. So I'm like sitting at the trailhead,

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: the last place where the road kind of ends, and

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: like looking at the river and thinking there's no way

84
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I can cross this beast. So I'm just like waiting,

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: camped out in my truck, like through this horrible rainstorm,

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: waiting for the river to go down. So the river

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: finally like starts to go down. I test the waters

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think I can make it, So

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: drive across the river and um I park. I end

90
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: up like being like, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: up this one canyon because the river got I was like,

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: there's no way I can drive up this river valley

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: any further. So I parked my truck and I'm like,

94
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just gonna hike across and go up

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: this one valley. I've got like a day to do it.

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: So I hike across. I actually got swept down the

97
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: river completely drenched, end up getting out crawling out. Luckily

98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: I didn't lose any gear. Like this is so stupid,

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die and get to a There's like an

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: old hut and it's one of these huts that's just

101
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: like completely overrun with mice and rats. Nobody stays in

102
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: this hut because it's just gnarly. But I was like, okay,

103
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I need a fire, and it has just been raining

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: for three straight days. So I get in there. There's

105
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: a little bit of wood left in the firebox. In

106
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: the fire in the wood box, like all this old

107
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: beach and stuff, so I kind of break that up,

108
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: make a fire, dry all my stuff out, climb up

109
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the mountain. The next day, shoot atar, get out of there,

110
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: and luckily it was like I got out of there

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and it just started to like downpour again, flash flood whatever.

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh man, I'm wet. I've got every

113
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: like meat and things that I need to process, and

114
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: I've got a flight that's impending, like I need to

115
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: start driving back to christ Church, back to the airport,

116
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: so get to town. I'm like, okay, I gotta deal

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: with this Tar. I got a butcher, like, I gotta

118
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: do all this stuff, and I'm like, but I'm a

119
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: very limited amount of time. And I also, of course

120
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: had to send off like it's been months delayed. I

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta get this first podcast thing out

122
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: because I was getting hounded pretty good about like if

123
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, we need to nail this thing

124
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: down right now. So I'm like, sweet, okay, So I'm

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna do my stuff and record the podcast. So I

126
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: get a hotel. It was like an airport hotel out

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: of christ Church. I probably shouldn't see the name of

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: the place because once they hear what was going down.

129
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I'll probably never get an hotel room there again. And

130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: but I got this place because it's the head out

131
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: of freezer. So I've got like I'm pretending like, oh yeah,

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: everything's good. But I've got this tar school and I've

133
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: got a bunch of meat that was going to freeze

134
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: and take home, but this place had a freezer, so

135
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: I've got like I went to the store on the way,

136
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of cellophanes saran wrap. So I'm

137
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: like pretty much butchering this tar in a bathroom hotel

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm going to I'm going to uh

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: freeze what I can, take back what I can, and

140
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: then I was going to give some of it to

141
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: my friend on the way out, who's dropping me off

142
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: the airport. So I'm like sweet, But I was also like, man,

143
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: i want to take this tart tar skull home. So

144
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: I've like got my little jet boil. I've got a

145
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: little pot in there, and I'm like boiling into the bathroom,

146
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: running the exhaust fan to like suck it out and

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't smell, and um, luckily I did,

148
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: so I did get like a pre boil over the fire.

149
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: So this was like it was good, but I just

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. So I'm boiling the pot in there,

151
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, cool. I was like, I

152
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: gotta do this podcasting. So I got all my stuff organized,

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: get everything ready, and um, I finally got that up,

154
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: but I was like, I needed to dry. I went

155
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: to the grocery store got some like what would it

156
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: be like blonde platinum hair dye to use the peroxide

157
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: in it to like reach it out. So I've got

158
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: it soaking in this thing. I think I can't even remember.

159
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: It's probably I think the boil was probably going on

160
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: while I was recording the first podcast. I'm like, all right,

161
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: so I'm telling the story of the hunt doing the thing,

162
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: and meanwhile I'm in a hotel room with a skull

163
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: boiling in the bathroom after just butchering this tar and

164
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: processing it in the hotel room, kind of like undercover.

165
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: And that is why these episodes are all solo style,

166
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: because it's, um, it's the life on the road and

167
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time in the hills and then

168
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: just being able to accommodate and make sure that I

169
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: can knock out a podcast a week for now what

170
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: is a hundred weeks, so that is the kind of

171
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: the story of the genesis of cutting the distance podcasts.

172
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I talked about telling like enjoying to tell stories, and

173
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of cool stories over

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the last hundred episodes. I don't know. I think if

175
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I had to pick what my favorite story was, um,

176
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I think I think that back

177
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: in episode five, there was a story in there about

178
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: the elk that wrecked my nap and we can queue

179
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: that up and retell that story right now, because I

180
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: think that was that was probably one of my favorite stories.

181
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: And I think one of the cool things that kind

182
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: of reinforced like, um, just this podcast and inspired me

183
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: was I actually randomly got uh, well not necessarily randomly,

184
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: but after that story, I got a text message from

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, who's obviously like the king of podcast and

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: he's just like, hey, man, I really loved your podcast

187
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: this week. That story was awesome. Keep up the good

188
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: where it keep going after it. And that was a

189
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: really encouraging because for me to sit down every week

190
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: and talk into a microphone and do these podcasts, it

191
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: just to wrap my head around that was kind of

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: like I don't know if it's something that I want

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: to get into, and that that kind of encouragement from

194
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: somebody like him was pretty awesome, So I think that

195
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of story sticks in my mind. It's probably one

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: of my favorite stories and one of my favorite moments,

197
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Like with the podcast. One story that really stands out

198
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: in my mind. I was guiding in New Mexico and

199
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: I had one of those weeks that just nothing seemed

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: to be going right. I could tell that bulls were

201
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: hitting this meadow in the dark, but nothing would make

202
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: a peep and nothing would come out during daylight hours.

203
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: I could also tell that the elk we're using this

204
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: particular wallow. I decided, okay, the elk are coming from

205
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: the timbered area to the west, and this wallows right

206
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: on the edge of the timber, and then it enters

207
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: into a feeding area. I yet to see one in

208
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: daylight hours, but I thought, why don't I create an

209
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: illusion that there's a herd of elk cows out here

210
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully draw a bowl out of the timber where

211
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: I could tell the tracks are coming in and out of.

212
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: I was assuming that if he's gonna go to the

213
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: herd of elk, he'll probably hit this wallow first, he'll

214
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: get mudded up, he'll get sent it up, and then

215
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: come in hot trying to impress the gals. So I

216
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: put him up in a tree stand that I set

217
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: up over the wallow, because I figured, well, even in

218
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: while I'm calling, he can have a better vantage from

219
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: the tree stand and might just catch an elk that's

220
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: cruising to wallow or even drink because it was fairly

221
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: hot as well. And then I would go a little

222
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: bit further out and start cow calling. So I started

223
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: in the morning hitting a few cow calls, and I

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: had a whole slew of different cow calls, everything from

225
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: diaphragm calls to open read calls, as well as some

226
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: of those squeeze button calls might even have like a

227
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: hoochie mama call. And then one of the carlton though

228
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: what it was at a button call or they call

229
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: it something like that in my pockets because what I

230
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: wanted to do is sound like a bunch of different

231
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: elk at once. So the morning starts out, I give

232
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: my bugles just to make sure there's no bulls around.

233
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Nothing replying the same as it's been the last few days.

234
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: So I decided to work in my cow call sequence,

235
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: hitting some mus standard elk talk me and me going

236
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: off a few of those little pocket calls. Nothing all right,

237
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: but I'm intentionally calling to a bull that I'm assuming

238
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: is going to come in quiet. I'm trying to call

239
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: to the loan bowl that I'd cut tracks of that

240
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: i'm hoping is looking for cows. The morning progresses, it's

241
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: starting to get hot and nothing has shown up. So

242
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to divulge a little secret. And this is

243
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: something I rarely do. I started dozing off in between

244
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: sets of cow calls because for two reasons, One I

245
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: was pretty tired, and two I just get so impatient.

246
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not good at sitting there just being patient and calling.

247
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Take a little nap, and in between falling asleep, I

248
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: would wake up, he hit a few calls, go back

249
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: to sleep. That just kept me from overcalling. Really, so

250
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm in between call sets, I'm laying there. The sun's

251
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: hitting me, like man, there's definitely not going to be

252
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: any elk right now, but there's really nothing else we

253
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: can do, so I'll just keep calling. I opened my

254
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: eyes just slightly. I look off as I opened my eyes,

255
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: there is an elk's foot within half an arm's length

256
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: of my head. I could just literally reach my right

257
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: arm out and grab this bull. I look up and

258
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: this bull is directly over me. That elk knew exactly

259
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: where those calls were coming from. He had pinpointed the

260
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: exact location where I was calling from. Yet Ed walked

261
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: right to me. Now, the trouble is, I've never had

262
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: this happen, and I have a bull. His head is

263
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: literally right above my head. I'm worried that he's going

264
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: to freak out and start stomping on me. I do

265
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: not want him to see my eyeball, so I'm just

266
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: squinting and partially freaking out, thinking that he is at

267
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: any second going to realize something's wrong and stomp me.

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: When I woke up, I must have rustled a little

269
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: bit because he kind of tilted his head down, so

270
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: he's got his head down and I can see his

271
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: eyeball maybe three ft from my face, and he's got

272
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: his head down and his eye he cocked his head

273
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: sideways so he could look at me better, and I

274
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: can just see his eye sort of bulging out of

275
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: his head, and he's moving back and forth trying to

276
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell is at his feet. At

277
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: this point, I'm literally just praying this thing does not

278
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: smash me and trying to move, not move at all.

279
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: I do not want to open my eyes. I'm just squinting.

280
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: He probably felt or heard my heart beating out of

281
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: my chest. He got a little antsy and trotted off,

282
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: spun around again, looked back where I was. I just

283
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: continued to lay there until he moved off. Once he

284
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: got out of sight, I'll let a few more cow

285
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: calls out, snuck around, grabbed my hunter from the tree stand.

286
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, this big six point bull was

287
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: just right here at that point. I didn't tell him

288
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: that I was asleep, of course, But so he comes down.

289
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: We work. Luckily, the wind was good. I get him.

290
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: We work into the wind, set up again, continue to call.

291
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: This time he actually kind of button hooks around, just

292
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: out of range of myself and the hunter. You say,

293
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: fifty five yards, circles around, catches our wind and blows out. Now,

294
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: while we did not get that bull, it taught me

295
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: two really good lessons, one in patience and one in

296
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: the fact that those elk no exactly where you're calling

297
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: from and that is gonna play huge into the way

298
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: that I set up my calling sequences for loan bulls. Now,

299
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: a funny story behind the stories. That wasn't the only

300
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: animal that wrecked my nap on that trip. I had

301
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of days off and I was like, even

302
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: all my days off, I would just go out scout

303
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: and whatever. So I went up to this big meadow

304
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of like right on the border of this

305
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: area that we're able to hunt, and there's like this

306
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: this big, like timbered face, and there just happened to

307
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: be this one bull that always would hang out in

308
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: this meadow. So I was like, Okay, I'm gonna see

309
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: if I can just get eyes on him and kind

310
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: of pattern him so when the hunt starts, I can

311
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: bring a guy in here. No if it's like, hey,

312
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: this this elks using this or what time of day

313
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: or what's going on. So a glassed in the morning,

314
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: didn't see anything, and you know, the sun comes up

315
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not the type of person that takes naps,

316
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: But here's two naps stories back to back. These are

317
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: like the two naps that I've taken in my life.

318
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: And this is probably why I ever did not taking naps.

319
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and it's like nothing's going on.

320
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm eating those like cheese peanut butter crackers, you know,

321
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: whatever they are. I don't who makes this. We need

322
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: to figure this out. It sounds like a disgusting combination.

323
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: It's cheese and peanut butter, but man, they're awesome. And

324
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: I think that these ones are probably from nineteen seventy

325
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: and there's still good dat I've got. I pull those

326
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: cheese crackers out of my pack that I don't even

327
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: know what air they're from, but they still taste like

328
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: they do I would imagine fresh. I don't know if

329
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: I ever read them fresh. So I'm eating these my

330
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: favorite cheese peanut butter crackers. I'm like laying there and

331
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: sun hits me. It's like, okay, cool. I started to

332
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: doze off, and then i feel something in my crotch

333
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: area and I'm like, okay, what is going on? Slowly

334
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: opened my eyes and there's a chipmunk. It's digging in

335
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: between somehow. Well, clearly, when I was eating, the crumbs

336
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: from the crackers had fallen into like my lap and

337
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: probably got behind the zippers. So this chipmunk is trying

338
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: to get into my zipper and like digging around for

339
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: the crumbs from the crackers. I'll look at that chipmunk

340
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: and my eyes are open and I'm looking at and

341
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: some it noticed that now whatever it was digging at

342
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: is not a log. It is alive. And that chipmunk,

343
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: I swear to you, it was like staring in his eyes.

344
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: I swear its eyes got like three times in size

345
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: because and just jumps off a million miles an hour.

346
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: And from that moment on, I went back to hunting Camp,

347
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: told everyone's story, and my big joke was my big

348
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: punchline to the story of the day was yeah, that

349
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: chipmunk was trying to get steal me nuts. So um,

350
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: that's my napping story. After the napping story, I had

351
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: two pretty good napping stories and camp that season. One

352
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: was a nuts stealing chipmunk and then the other one

353
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: was the elk that got a little too close. If

354
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: you ask me, you've listened to all one episodes, you're like,

355
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: if there is one thing you learn from all these

356
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: podcasts or one mantra that sticks in your head, I

357
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: think it's this. It's go the best way, not the

358
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: easy way. You might remember that from episode fifteen, And

359
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: what that is is just kind of planning your stock.

360
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: When it comes to planning your stock, always thinking go

361
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: the best way, not the easy way. That's something that

362
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I say on every hunt, on every stock, every time

363
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: I look at a mountain. I want to be successful,

364
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: and in order to be successful, I need to do

365
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: things the best way, not the easy way. Now, when

366
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: I say go the best way, not the easy way,

367
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: what's that even mean? When you're thinking about a potential stock,

368
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: there's always these little outs, little ways to go, a

369
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: direction that will probably get you there, but something's just

370
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: a little bit wrong. The best way is the way

371
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: with the least amount of possible ways to get busted. Okay,

372
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: So if you have all your options laid out on

373
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: the table right in front of you, you have to

374
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: pick the option has the least potential to send that

375
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: animal running. And that oftentimes I've found statistically over the years,

376
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: the best way is often the most physical or longest

377
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: way possible. It's the way that kind of seems in

378
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: your mind, I don't really feel like doing that. That's

379
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: because there's an element in choosing the best route, not

380
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: based on what's the easiest. You have to pick it

381
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: based on what is the most likely to get you

382
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: in position without hitting the three get busted factors. Those

383
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: three get usted factors are the wind, being spotted, and

384
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: being heard. Those are the three things that you need

385
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: to take into account when planning your stock, and then

386
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: you pick the option that always lends you to get

387
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: within range without the deer ever potentially being aware of

388
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: your presence. Now, while a lot of the podcasts are

389
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: set up in the way with the storytelling and the

390
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: tips and tactics, I think some of my favorite episodes

391
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: are actually the Q and A s because it's a

392
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: great way to really answer the questions of other people.

393
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: And I think that I actually enjoy I have fun

394
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: with those Q and A. I actually kind of wish

395
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: that there was a way that I could do a

396
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: more live Q and A style podcast because I really

397
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: enjoy that on my feet thinking and that's just when

398
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: you know that that knowledge just comes out and it's

399
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: a it's a quick way to answer questions and probably

400
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: answer a lot of people, quite a lot of people's

401
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: questions on certain tips and tactics. If if you're the

402
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of my favorite topics are generally, maybe you can

403
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: decipher this out of my excitement level of talking about it.

404
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I can talk about elk and I can talk about

405
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: archery hunting. I could probably just have a weekly podcast

406
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: on just one of those topics. But there's so many

407
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: other things that I love. I got to include all

408
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: those in as well. Um, But I think one of

409
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: a great question, you know, I don't. I don't think

410
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: there's been a bad question that I've answered a lot

411
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: of great questions, but one that kind of sticks in

412
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: my head and one that I think I get asked

413
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: a lot is about people going out on elk hunt

414
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: and how to get away from people in general area tags.

415
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: So episode fifty two, there's a great question relating to

416
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: elk hunting and heavily timbered areas. Let's check it out,

417
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: all right, Cody says, Hey, Ramy, can't thank you enough

418
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: for the information and education you provide all of us.

419
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: I've learned a ton. I have a question for you

420
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: and upcoming out podcasts. I didn't draw a tag in

421
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: New Mexico, my home state, so Buddy and myself are

422
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: going over the counter in southern Colorado. Do you have

423
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: any tips or tricks for finding elk in what I'm

424
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: sure will be some packed units. Thanks. Again, that's a

425
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: great question, because a lot of the hunts that I

426
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: do myself are in what I would also consider packed units,

427
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: areas that you can just get a tag and and go.

428
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I would say, like, my plan is to always get

429
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: away from hunters, but that doesn't necessarily always mean go

430
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: the furthest into the back country. So what that generally

431
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: means is find a place that other people are ignoring.

432
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: You might get there and there might be twenty cars

433
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: at one trailhead, and you know that, Okay, once I

434
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: get up this trail, that's the only place to hunt

435
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: up there. I would probably avoid that, But also there's

436
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: probably gonna be thousands of vehicles driving the roads. So

437
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is pinpoint spots that are

438
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: far enough off where guys that are driving the roads

439
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: can't see it or won't hunt it, and then places

440
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: that maybe aren't necessarily that iconic back country that already

441
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: has a trailhead that's attracting other people. I mentioned it

442
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: earlier already in the Q and A. But finding those

443
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: like spots that you gotta bush whack into that take

444
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: a little bit extra energy to either get in or

445
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: get out and pinpointing those spots. Now, Obviously, like I

446
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: love to the first place I'm gonna look as those

447
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: back country areas. But sometimes those type of places actually

448
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: get hunted a lot, and that may not be the

449
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: best spot for you. And also, you know, stay away

450
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: from the roads where people are just gonna there's a

451
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: large majority of the people that will have those tags

452
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: that will never kill an elk, and they're just gonna

453
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: keep driving the roads and maybe point zero one percent

454
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: will shoot one, but they're just cruising those roads looking

455
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: from those roads. So you're just trying to find that

456
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: place that other people aren't. Another thing I like to

457
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: hunt in really heavily hunted areas is place that I

458
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: call a whole where if I kill something, I have

459
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: to carry the elk uphill back out. That really deters

460
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people from hunting that. So if you

461
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: can find those holes, those pockets, or even just getting

462
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: further and deeper into the back country is a great way,

463
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: just anywhere you can get away from people. Now, the

464
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: other option is if you know that area well enough.

465
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Now this might not be particularly for Cody's instance, but

466
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: if you hunt an area a lot understanding the escape

467
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: routes and like where elk like to travel, and then

468
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: using pressure to your advantage. There's been many times where

469
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: I get into a position knowing that, Okay, the elk

470
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: are gonna get bumped here, you know, mostly opening days

471
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: that I hunt our elk that have been pushed by

472
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: someone else, because I know this is where the elk travel,

473
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: this is where they're moving through. This is the highest

474
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: likelihood of these elk coming through here. And then setting

475
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: up and using other people to your advantage, getting into

476
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: those positions where you're you're kind of capitalizing on a

477
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: known behavior that elk will be running around on this

478
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: particular day, and that generally is an opening day in

479
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: a general area well as promised, I always have to

480
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: give a good tip before just to make this maybe

481
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: maybe you're the type of person that wants those absolute

482
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: tips to be more successful in the field than episode one.

483
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Will not let you down because I am this is

484
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: my three step guaranteed success in the field. I tell

485
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: this to all my clients and as like, if you

486
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: were hunting with me this week, I would take you

487
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: out and I would essentially tell you our plan and

488
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be these three steps, and then we

489
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: go through these three steps and be successful. Step one,

490
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: find the animal, step two, shoot the animal, Step three,

491
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: pack the animal back to the truck. That's it. That

492
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: any hunt you go on, it doesn't matter where you're at.

493
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: If you follow those three steps, that's the three keys

494
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: to hunting. That's all you have to do. Now. Sometimes

495
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: the gap between step one and step two can be

496
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: pretty large, and sometimes the difficulty level between step two

497
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: and step three can be daunting, But it's all about

498
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: those It's really just to be the two steps. Find

499
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: the animal, shoot the animal, pack the animal back to

500
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: the truck. Now, if you fail at step one, then

501
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: you just restart step one, find the animal. Now, if

502
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: you fail, it's step two. Maybe you missed the shot.

503
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: Then it's back to step one, find the animal, and

504
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: then go back to step two shoot the animal. Basic simple,

505
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: follow those three tips you'll be successful on any hunt.

506
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: I hope that was the tip you're looking for. Don't

507
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: forget you heard it here first on Cutting the Distance podcast. Well,

508
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: that about concludes our episode one. I as always, I'm

509
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: super appreciative of everybody that's really supported the podcast over

510
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the last hundred weeks. I know a lot of you

511
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: have listened to every episode. There's many of you that

512
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: have actually listened to every episode multiple times or some

513
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: of the episodes multiple times. I thank you guys so

514
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: much for all the subscribing, commenting rating. That's just that

515
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: means a lot to me because the reason I do

516
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: this is is really not for me. I mean, I

517
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: don't know if people might not really understand this, but

518
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like the most extroverted introvert out there. Um.

519
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I just kind of feel like I really enjoy being

520
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: able to help people out when it comes to hunting

521
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: because it's something that I love so much, and I

522
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: hope that that passion really translates through what I do.

523
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: And the reason that I do it is because the

524
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: reason I continue to do this podcast is because people

525
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: enjoy it and I think that it helps a lot

526
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: of people. I guess so many awesome success photos, stories,

527
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: other things, so I'm just very appreciative of that and

528
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: that's the reason that I've continued on for a hundred episodes. UM,

529
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: I figure we might as well do. Let's see. Let's

530
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: test your knowledge. If you are a true cutting the

531
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: distance aficionado, Let's see this is I'll give you the

532
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: answers after this or you know, it's not like this

533
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: isn't how you went a prize, but let's just test

534
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: your knowledge here so you know, it's actually funny because

535
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I say in a lot of

536
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: the episodes. Um So I don't even know if I

537
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: repeat myself or not trying not to. Some some weeks

538
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I have to go back and see. But let's start

539
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: off with this question. You know that it's set up

540
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: with a format that is generally solo, and I say

541
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: generally because there have been two other individual voices on

542
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: this podcast. Can you name the two people that have

543
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: appeared in Cutting the Distance outside of myself? Que the

544
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: Jeopardy music. I don't know if this is copyrighted, And

545
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: maybe I could just do do Do Do Do Do

546
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do I'm

547
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: not gonna win any like humming contest. The answer is

548
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Ben O'Brien. Early on he read the Q and a S.

549
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: And then I had a special guest lecturer in the

550
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: Archery series, which, um I think what was that episode

551
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: seventy six or something that started four part Archery yet

552
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: seventy seventy eight getting in darchery hunting, and I had

553
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: my good friend and fellow solo hunter Tim Burnett as

554
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: a guest lecturer and those have been the only two

555
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: cutting the distance guests. Um. So if you got that right,

556
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: kudos to you. Let me know, I mean on our

557
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: system and just curious how many people got that question.

558
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: You can always reach out social media at remmy warren Um. Yeah.

559
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: And then one thing that I do, Like I said,

560
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: I do really enjoy doing the Q and A S

561
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be an opportunity to do a live

562

Speaker 1: join in on that would be awesome because if you hopefully,

568
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I'll be able to

569
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: get to everyone's questions, but I will answer a few questions.

570
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I will also have uh some swag toss some probably

571
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: try to get something is to give away. UM. So

00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: I'll be cool and if I can, I'm gonna try

573
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: to record it, so those might be I might have

574
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: some other voices on Cutting the Distance podcast in the

575
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: near future if I can figure out how to record that.

576
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: So that's Friday, June And if you want, if you're

00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: and get a half off day pass. That's just something

579
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: I kind of worked out for UM. People listen to

580
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: the podcast, use it if you want. And yeah, I

581
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: was speaking of shots. We've got a couple items to

582
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 1: give away. I've got a new line of Live Wild

583
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: t shirts, my own shirts, so um, they're pretty cool there.

584
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: I like him like some designs that I worked on

585
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: with some guys and got those going. So I will

586
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: be giving away. I'll give away one of each one

587
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that I have left in stock by the time this goes,

588
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: so I'll try to save a couple hopefully. I've definitely

589
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: got some in the large size, but if you're a

590
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: random size and they're already sold out, then we'll just

591
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: swap it out for something else. I'm sure I've got

592
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: something cool we can mutually agree on. Um. But just

593
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: as a thank you to the people that listen, and

594
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, like there's no way to actually do

595
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: it on here and um so I'll just figure go

596
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: on to my um. I was doing it on Instagram,

597
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: but then they got way too many people, so I

598
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: think it's just better to reward the people that listen

599
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,240

00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: rule them all. What I did was not this is

615
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: a genius. I went back and I tallied up the

616
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: totals of different things that I've tried and what people

617
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: responded to the best. I liked that part, you know,

618
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: maybe went back through messages people commenting on things saying

619
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: I liked this one, I didn't like that I liked

620
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: this one. So over the past one weeks I tallied

621
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: them up and I've just kind of come up with

622
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: a hybrid of the greatest hits of cutting the distance

623
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: sign offs, which will be the sign off of all

624
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: sign offs. Here it goes, keep cutting the distance, you

625
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: filthy animal audios until next week, Aimes, small, miss small,

626
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: Now get close and stay frosty peace. Was that it?

627
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I think that's we'll just do

628
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: that every time. So, in other words, keep cutting the distance,

629
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: you fill the animals audios until next week, aims small,

630
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: miss small, Now get close and stay frosty peace. I

631
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: really got to emphasize the piece. I think. I think

632
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: that's how we're supposed to be
