This show is about translating my hard 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,560 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 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: This is cutting the distance. Welcome back to what I 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: like to call the mail Sack.

I 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of questions, also a ton of great feedback. 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Last week we did a podcast on packs, how to 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: pack a pack, how to pick a pack, different pack features, 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: different types of packs, everything packs. I got a ton 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: of great response on it, a lot of people saying 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: like they learned stuff they didn't know they didn't know. 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: So anytime I can do that, I think that that's 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: a win. I think there's a lot of great information. 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: So if you missed that one, that's definitely I would say, uh, now, 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: having done that and heard the response, I would put 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: that in the top. Must have listened to you podcasts 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: of some of the ones that we've done there's a 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: lot that are very specific to certain species, certain times 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: a year's certain type of tactic, but man packs are 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: just very all encompassing for this type of hunt, especially 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: if you've never done a Western type hunt, mountain type hunter. 26 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you've done it your whole life and just realized, Wow, 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: I've been loading things wrong. I didn't realize that I 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: need to adjust the pack to myself. It's a great 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: one to go back and listen to. So thank you 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: guys so much too. I've I've seen a lot of 31 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: awesome comments come through. Um, thank you guys.

I like to do some Q and 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: a s UM try to as as often as possible 36 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: because I really do want everybody's questions to be answered, 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: and I know I can't get to all of them, 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: but also feel free to kind of keep updating those 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: questions if I didn't get tears once. Some I try 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to group things into their very similar to other questions, 41 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: and then there's always some questions that I think, oh, 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: nobody's really asked that, but I'm intrigued to buy it, 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: so keep those coming. Uh. This week, I was actually 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to actually be hunting in Hawaii right now 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: for access to here, which I was pretty excited about. 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Had some friends and planned a trip and we're gonna 47 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: do some filming stuff. Um. But that trip got delayed, 48 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: unfortunately because the random times that we live in. I 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: took my COVID tests and my test actually got lost, 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: and you have to do it within a certain window 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: of time, within a certain it's like within three days 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: of your departure whatever, and so I'm waiting for the 53 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: results and they're like, oh wait, we don't have those. 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: So I missed my flight, but I was able to 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: go get another test which already came back negative. Was 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: able to change my flights, and now I will be 57 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: hunting in Hawaii soon. I've been kind of jones ng 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: to get out and get some hunting in. It feels 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: like it's been a while, um, especially when I'm used 60 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: to being like in the South Pacific this time of year, 61 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: hunting or doing whatever in New Zealand or Australia. So 62 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I got some spring bear hunt stuff planned 63 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: for a little bit later on in the season. I 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: like to go a little bit later. I kind of 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: like that spread it out. I don't wanna I don't 66 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: want to burn out all my hunting options right at once, 67 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: so spread it out towards the end of the tail 68 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: end of the hunting season for spring bear. But pretty 69 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: stoked to get out. And I love spring hunting because 70 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: you get you get to mess with like some gear, 71 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: tweak with your gear. Like this time of year. I 72 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: always think of it as like testing stuff out for 73 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: the fall. Whatever it is, just getting out, whether it's 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: like looking for sheds and going on a hike and 75 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: breaking in my boots and doing all that stuff. This 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: time of year is just a lot of fun because 77 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: I just got my mind focused on like fall season, 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: and I'm very fortunate I get to go out and 79 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: do a couple uh some really awesome hunts this time 80 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: of year as well. So it's fun to just play 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: with some stuff. I've actually ordered a bunch of just 82 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, you see like other things, things that you 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: haven't tried before, and you're like, maybe I should maybe 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: I should mess with this new release, Maybe I should 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: do that, Maybe I should do this. Messed with different broadheads, 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: messed with different arrows, So it's a fun time of 87 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: year for me to just kind of mess with some stuff. 88 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: And there's actually quite a few questions on some gears, 89 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: some bear hunting stuff. So let's get into that and 90 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: dive into our first question. The first question comes from Ed. 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: He says new hunter tackled wings shooting for upland and 92 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: waterfowl this year, moving on to big game this fall. 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: I live in Washington, but plan on moving to South 94 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: Carolina next year. I want to buy a well rounded 95 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: rifle for a big game, like a six five creed more. 96 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Is it productive slash ethical to use a multi species 97 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: gun for open Western style hunting big game and thicker 98 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: brushy Eastern big game or do I need to buy 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: two different calibers hoping I can just buy one rifle 100 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: and invest in two different optics. Question is getting along, 101 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: but I think listeners would also like to hear a 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: recommendation for optimal hundred yard range for TEX scope. Uh. 103 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: That's a good question, especially if you're you're just kind 104 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: of getting into hunting. I am a firm believer in 105 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: the one gun philosophy. Um. Now, the one gun philosophy 106 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: does not mean you shouldn't. I guess that's a double 107 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: edged sword because I'm also a firm believer in owning 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: as many guns as possible. That's like my four oh 109 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: one k just buy more guns, right, Um. But I 110 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: would say, like when it comes to hunting, I really 111 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: like to just have my hunting rifle and I use 112 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: it for everything for a very long time. I mean 113 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: I hunted everything. I'm talking everything with a three short meg. 114 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: I have shot um some of the smallest antelope in 115 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: the world with a three short meag steam buck in Africa, 116 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: and then gone all the way up to like moose 117 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: size animals, um, elk whatever with the that same rifle. 118 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: And you know, you can you can swap loads, you 119 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: can do whatever. You can always load a bullet like 120 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a heavier bullet in it. I generally just pick one 121 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: bullet that shoots well, they can handle a range of 122 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: game and hunt with it. The cool thing about having 123 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: that one rifle that you hunt kind of everything with 124 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: is the more you use that rifle, the more comfortable 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna be with it. And you know, you can't 126 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: really name a rifle until it's got a lot of 127 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: time under the belt. Had some great adventures. So you know, 128 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: a rifle really has to earn its name. So I suggest, yeah, 129 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: just get get one rifle, um that you think you 130 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: can use for whatever. A six five works great. I 131 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: mean it's you can kill up with it. Um, you 132 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: can shoot deer with it. You know, it's not too 133 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: much gun, it's not too little gun. I think it's 134 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: a good caliber. I mean you could honestly pick really 135 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: whatever suits you. You could go from to seventy up 136 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: to mag and I think you'll be fine for me. Now, 137 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: I kind of like I've got some other rifles. I'm like, oh, 138 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: it'll be fun to hunt with this rifle. And that's 139 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: pretty much you know. Yeah, you can specifically tailor a 140 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: certain rifle or a certain caliber to a certain type 141 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: of hunt, and that's fun too. Um. Yeah, you can 142 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: absolutely by the one gun. Especially just getting into it 143 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: by a six five is a great I mean it's there, 144 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people are stoked on it. It's a 145 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: great caliber. Go for it. And yeah, you can absolutely 146 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: hunt kind of anywhere with it. One thing I would 147 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: just look into, I don't know, um, South Carolina rules 148 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: some a lot of states maybe don't have rifle seasons 149 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: they've got shotgun, muzzleloader or archery. You could even use 150 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: your shotgun with slugs and a scope topped with that. 151 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: If you're hunting real thick brush country, it sounds like 152 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: you've been wings shooting, So that's another option to think. 153 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: Don't think that deer hunting has to be just with 154 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: a rifle, a slug, door, buckshot shotgun with um. You know, 155 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: depending on if your tree stand hunting or maybe brush 156 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: hunting something that's fast target acquisition, you could even probably 157 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: top that shotgun with like a red dot type scope 158 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: or a real low power scope. If you're in the brush, 159 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I know in some of those places, 160 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, deer drives are popular, it's kind of not 161 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: becoming as popular that that style hunting is kind of 162 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: going I feel like it's kind of going away, but 163 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: it's it's actually a cool driven hunter, actual pretty fun 164 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: um kind of a different, different way of hunting. But um, honestly, 165 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I would swap scopes around. 166 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: I just get one that you can go down to 167 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: like one and a half for three power. There's a 168 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: lot of variable scopes and just use one set up 169 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: for everything. I mean, I like the idea of it, 170 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: But I maybe just think of getting a scope for 171 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: my shotgun and then a scope for my rifle, and 172 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: get a scope that you can kind of do that 173 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Western long range type thing, but it'll be perfectly fine 174 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: for uh, any other kind of hunting. And honestly, the 175 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: type of scope you know, it just depends how much 176 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: you want to spend currently. I I mean, I think 177 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: the best scope that Vortex makes right now is probably 178 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: the LHT, the Razor LHT like Hunter Tactical. It's fairly expensive, 179 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: but it's got like a viewer serious about shooting far 180 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: and having some really good sweet lightweight set up. I 181 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: like it. It's got everything that I like. Um, But honestly, 182 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot. I mean, do you could just 183 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: pretty much just go through pick up a price range 184 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: that you want to spend, and you can definitely got 185 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: enough product breath to pretty much pick something for whatever 186 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: you like. So I would just probably top that thing 187 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: with a good Western hunting scope that has a good 188 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: variable zoom and you can zoom it out enough to 189 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: hunt wherever you want with it, and then maybe even 190 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: think about just getting like something like a red dot 191 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: or a lower magnification for your shotgun um or even 192 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: just like you know, I think for the shotgun close range, 193 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need anything crazy, just something that's like 194 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: gathering quick low magnification. I actually like even on shotguns, 195 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: or I put it on a large board rifle. Again, 196 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: it's like some of the guns scopes designed for like 197 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: a r platform rifles, real big ocular, smaller objective. It 198 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: doesn't let in as much light, but when you throw 199 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: it up it just like it's easy to see through clear. 200 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: Those are pretty sweet on shotguns or even you know, 201 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: on a rifle whatever. There's a lot of different options 202 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: out there, but hope that helps all right. Next question 203 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: comes from Dustin. He says, first of all, thank you 204 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: so much for all the great content and Knowlogy share. 205 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: It's so motivating, entertaining and educational. Thank you, thank you, 206 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: thank you. My question is on a typical back country hunt, 207 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: what is the max amount of people you take with you? 208 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: I know you're known for being a solo hunter, but 209 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: as a professional guide, how many people do you have 210 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: in your group. I'm a father of four kids, ages 211 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: six to fourteen, who all love hunting and love being 212 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: outdoors with the four kids and wife and makes six 213 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: of us crashing through the trees hard to be stealthy. 214 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Because of this, we tend to stick to the roads 215 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: and avoid spot and stock and definitely avoid all back 216 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: country hunting. Any help or strategy for bringing a larger 217 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: group into the back country, again, thanks for everything. That's 218 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: a really good question and actually kind of uh, I mean, 219 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: I haven't actually seen this question posed this way, but 220 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: I definitely think there's probably a lot of people that 221 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: could benefit from an answer to this type of question. 222 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: When I'm guiding, you know, most of the time it's 223 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: probably three people, so myself and two others. But I've 224 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: had I mean I've banning groups of when we're filming, Um, 225 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: we might have like if it's two hunters, there's probably 226 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: two camera men plus another guy doing other stuff. So 227 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: I've been on hunts with as many as five or 228 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: six people in tow um and six people whatever. Like 229 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: there's I've definitely been on hunts where there's quite a 230 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: few people. I've been on hunts with my family whereas me, 231 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: my three brothers, my mom, five of us out there 232 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: and it's definitely doable. Um, you know, I think six 233 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: people on a stock it's like, well, it depends what 234 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: kind of stock you're doing. If your rifle hunting or whatever, 235 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: it's definitely possible. I would just say, you know, get 236 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: out and and give it a go. A lot of it, too, 237 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: is just for the fun for being all together, camping 238 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: set up, everybody's got their little backpacks on. I remember. 239 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we did a lot of backpacking trips with 240 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: my family. Do a couple of backpacking trips in the 241 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: um or just some fishing lakes, get work the kinks out. 242 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: But when it comes to hunting, I think it's it's 243 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: absolutely doable. You know, for the most part, if you're 244 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: planning a correct stock, uh, you could have one person 245 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: or ten people and it shouldn't make a difference. You 246 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: should plan the stock where you can all kind of 247 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: get within range. Another good option is without many people, 248 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, maybe having a couple of people hold back, 249 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: do some hands signals guide you in, and maybe you 250 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: and one other person go on a stock um There's 251 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good options, and it's a really 252 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: fun way to just get out and enjoy the outdoors 253 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: as a family. I definitely wouldn't let the number of 254 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: people hold me back. I think that there's um still 255 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of success to be had, and I think 256 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: you guys will have some of your most exciting memorable 257 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: times and memories as a family doing something like that too, 258 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: or at least giving it a try, you know. Um. 259 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: And also I think it's one of those things you 260 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: could be flexible too if you've got I know a 261 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: lot of people that have big families, they like to 262 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: go out and hunt together. You know, I might set 263 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: up a nice base camp and kind of drive and 264 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: hike and out from there. I think that you shouldn't 265 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: necessarily think that it needs to be regulated to one 266 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: type of hunting. There's definitely a lot of a lot 267 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: of spot and stock a lot. I mean, getting everybody 268 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: up on a glassing knob and you've got a lot 269 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: more eyes, you're gonna find some success and it's gonna 270 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. So I definitely 271 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: say it's doable. It's absolutely doable, and you should give 272 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: it a try and then report back. I'd love to 273 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: see some photos because I bet you you're gonna have 274 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: some uh some pretty big smiles in those pictures, So 275 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: keep me posted on that for sure. That sounds awesome. Alright. 276 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: The next question comes from Ryan from Texas. He actually 277 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: got two questions here, one that I missed before. But 278 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: I get a lot of these questions through the messages 279 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: on Instagram. So when you resent this new question, the 280 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: other one popped up, and I'm gonna answer them both 281 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: right here because I think they're really great questions. Uh. 282 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: The first question says, can you explain the wet aging 283 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: on your podcast? Never heard of it? And that question 284 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: came when I shared some stuff about wet aging some 285 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: axis de here. So aging meat is essentially like letting 286 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: the rig of mortists break down. What it does is 287 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: it creates um a more tender, more tender steaks. So 288 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: if you just shot a deer or whatever right off 289 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: the bat kind of steak off. If you do it 290 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: right away, it's actually a pretty tender. If you wait 291 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: an hour or two, um it starts to starts to 292 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: get really tough. So like camp camp meat, I generally 293 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: eat the heart because of the rigor kind of affects 294 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: it less than um, like a backstrap, which might be 295 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: super tough that first day or first couple of days. 296 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: So the aging process allows that rigor to break down. 297 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: Knows A lot of people have heard about dry aging, 298 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: so that's you know, you get a dry age steak. 299 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: What essentially aging is like a controlled rotting process, So 300 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: it's it's allowing that muscle to break down. When you 301 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: dry age, you're keeping it under refrigeration, you're moving and 302 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: circulating air around it, and it's it's drying out. People 303 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: go from who knows you could age it for a 304 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: few days up to I mean thirty days. Um, I personally, 305 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: like you know, you see on a menu at a restaurant, 306 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: dry age thirty day dry age steak not my thing. 307 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really like it that much for 308 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: a few reasons. Um, I do dry age meat too. 309 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: I kind of do a little bit of everything. Um, 310 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: but I like a red, juicy, kind of fresh tasting steak, 311 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: not like a juiceless, mushroom me tasting steak. I love mushrooms, 312 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily like my steak to taste kind 313 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: of moldy. Um and really long dry aging process does that. Yeah, 314 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: it's tender, but I don't ME personally don't like the flavor. 315 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Some people love that, and uh, it demands a high 316 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: price tag, so that's cool. But one thing I've realized 317 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: too with with wild game something that drying process, you 318 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: do get some waste the outside kind of creates this 319 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: crust and then it starts to get black on the 320 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: outside and you do have to trim away um to 321 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: get that that more tender steak inside. What I prefer 322 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: is a more of a wet age process, or I 323 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: will kind of like hang for less time. So I 324 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: mean I'll go up to a week. Um, I think 325 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: ten days is a little starts to push it on 326 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: my end for what I personally like, But what I 327 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: really like is a wet age process which involves sucking 328 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: the air out using a vacuum sealer. I have a 329 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: chamber vack sealer, but you can use any vacuum sealer. 330 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: You just want to make sure you get all the 331 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: air out. And what you're doing is you're you're taking 332 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: out the airs, and that air is what causes the 333 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: meat to sour. So if you just put that steak 334 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: in like a zip block, like let's say you cut 335 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: off a piece of backstrap whatever, put it in a 336 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: zip block and put it in the fridge, It's gonna 337 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: soak in with the air that's in there. The blood 338 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna I mean, if you get a 339 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: week out of it in that condition, that's pushing it. 340 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: You know you're I mean food safety wise, they probably 341 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: say four or five days, like, um, it's gonna start 342 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: growing back to your instart spoiling when you suck all 343 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: the air out of it under vacuum. You could actually 344 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: leave that meat into the fridge for I've heard as 345 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: much as like three months that's like in the frigerator. 346 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: And what it's doing is it's not spoiling because it 347 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: doesn't go and the air doesn't affect it. But it's 348 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: also breaking down in the rear process. But the cool 349 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: thing opposed to dry age and you don't have as 350 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: much uh meat loss by like the crust and when 351 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: you cut into it, it's still like a red, juicy steak. 352 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: All generally like wet age. Mind for two weeks, maybe 353 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: a month. If I'm traveling, I always bring a little 354 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: vacuum sealer with me and it's a good way. Like 355 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: I know people that maybe have like they're like, hey, 356 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: I live in an apartment. It's hardy to butcher, Like 357 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: where do I put Like I don't have fridge space 358 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: for the hold big pieces of what do I do. 359 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'll be in the field, I always bring 360 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: like like a foldable filet knife whatever I will butcher 361 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: my stuff up. I've got my little vacuum sealer there 362 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: one that actually I can run off my car and 363 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: I don't use the chamber of back for that, but 364 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: all vacuum seal and then put it in the cool 365 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: like butcher it right then. And there the trouble with 366 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: butchering it right then and there is you can't let 367 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: it hang for as long um. And then what I 368 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: could do is I can take some of those and 369 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: put him in the fridge, uh, as long as you 370 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: don't like cold shortened where it's like got rigger, and 371 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: then you freeze it. You let it sit for a 372 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: few days at least maybe five seven days, and then 373 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: put the freezer. And then when you pull it out 374 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: of the freezer, you could also continue the aging process 375 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 1: um like before you cook it. So you can pull 376 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: it out, let's sit for a week and whatever. Or 377 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: you could just leave it in the back bags in 378 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: your fridge for weeks a month, whatever you want. Um, 379 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, just make sure that you know I would 380 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: check them, make sure like open one up every so often, 381 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: just make sure, okay, you've got a good seal, no 382 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: oxygen is getting to it, it's not going off, it's 383 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: not spoiling. I learned this kind of technique when I 384 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: was living in New Zealand and a lot of Butcher's 385 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of friends down there did this similar thing, 386 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: and man, the results were like so much better. And 387 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: I've I've done it. Uh. That's kind of my primary 388 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: way of aging stuff that I can. But also, you know, 389 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: maybe just hanging stuff for a little while and then 390 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: you can do it. I like to do it the 391 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: fresher the better, and then like Butcher right away, vacuum 392 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: seal and then set in fridge and let age. So 393 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: that's a good way to do that. Might even have 394 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: to do a full podcast on some of the other 395 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: aging techniques, but I feel like it was pretty thorough 396 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: the other questions. So for the Q and A, just 397 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: listen to the newest episode on Spring Bear Hunting. For 398 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: those of us living in the South where there aren't 399 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: any bears, can you talk about public land bear hunt options, 400 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: success rates, ease of access, tag options. I love the podcast. 401 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: It's one that I never missed an episode. Thanks that's 402 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: a great question, and that's something that I really didn't 403 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: cover that I think a lot of people have questions for. 404 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: So I was spring bear tags are very accessible. I 405 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: don't there's hardly any. I mean, there are a few 406 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: draw bear tags, but almost every state out west has 407 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: some form of over the counter bear tag. I'm like, 408 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: literally almost every state, Um, Montana, Idaho, I'm pretty sure Wyoming, 409 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: Utah doesn't really but um, there's some in Oregon. California 410 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: even has over the counter bear tags, and honestly, California 411 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: is probably I know people would be like what I 412 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't say this out loud, but hey, maybe if 413 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: more people go out there and support it, then it 414 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: will have less chance of going away. The best state 415 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: in outside of Alaska for large bears and bear hunting 416 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: is the state of California. People probably don't know that, 417 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: don't realize that, but there are some giant bears there. 418 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of bears there. Um, there is no 419 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: spring season. Unfortunately, if they opened up a spring season, 420 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: I would say that that would probably be the best 421 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: state in the US for bear hunting if they had 422 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: a spring season for California bears. But um, literally almost 423 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: every Nevada does not has a draw, but in Colorado, 424 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: I think you can get over the counter bear tags. 425 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: Um So, almost everywhere has some bear tag at some 426 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: point of the year. Over the counter most bear tags 427 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: are available for statewide. There's a lot of area, a 428 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: lot of public land. It's probably the easiest thing to 429 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: have access to hunt. New Mexico has over the counter 430 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: bear tags for the I mean, just like there's a 431 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: lot of opportunity to hunt bears in different states over 432 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: the counter public land. Um So, you just gotta really 433 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: just pick a state, somewhere you want to go to, 434 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: somewhere you want to check out, pick up a tag, 435 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, research what what tags there are. But really 436 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: you can pretty much find a lot of different places. 437 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: And then as far as success rates, I would say 438 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: spot in stock bear hunting probably has some of the 439 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: lower success rates for uh any species outside of like 440 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: it probably hovers around kind of like twelve ten to 441 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: twelve percent, maybe less, But there's guys that, like, I mean, 442 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: the guys that understand how to spot in stock bear 443 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: hunt are probably close to that percent. It's just like 444 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: anything else. Um I think that one of the struggles 445 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: is like a lot of the stuff that I've talked 446 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: about in the podcast people don't know. And I think 447 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: that six if you were just to look at state 448 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: success rates for bear hunting, whether it's spring, whether it's fall, whatever, 449 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: they're very very inaccurate as far as like effort and success. 450 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: So I think if you went out for a week 451 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: of bear hunting, I would say, and you had like 452 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: you're in a good zone and you had the skills, 453 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: I would say, it's like probably, I don't know, twenty success. 454 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, probably success, right, I bet you. If 455 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: like you looked at published success rates for bear tags, 456 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: it's probably like two. And the reason is because most 457 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: people that live there or whatever, they just buy a 458 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: bear tag and if they see a bear, they shoot it. 459 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: But it's one of those species that, like, you may 460 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: encounter them randomly and maybe you encounter it and see 461 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: it and you're like, um, way back here, I don't 462 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: want to pack it out. If you specifically go to 463 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: target bears, you will find more bears. It's just the 464 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: nature of the beast. Yeah, you bump into them, but 465 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: I rarely bump into bears when I'm hunting other things. 466 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: When I'm specifically targeting bears. I see quite a few bears, 467 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: so I think that that's one of the factors um 468 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: in the success. So you know, if you look at 469 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: his area and you're like, oh, whoa ten thousand people 470 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: bought tags and bears were shot, that's really bad success. 471 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: But it's just people use it as an incidental tag 472 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: to other things. And once you recognize that, then um, 473 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: I think that you will kind of get a better 474 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: picture of how the success looks. And picking an area 475 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: with good bare densities will always help. But sometimes you 476 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: go to places with lower bare densities and there's just 477 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: fewer hunters. So you can balance that yourself. I would say, 478 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: just starting out, almost all bears have to be checked in. 479 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of data on bear harvest areas where 480 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: there's lots of bears. Um. Most of the data comes 481 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: from hunter harvest reports, so you can kind of look 482 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: that up on state websites and figure out where you 483 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: want to go from there. All right, This question comes 484 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: from John. He says your podcast has truly made me 485 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: a better hunter. I owe your great experiences and success 486 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: to the knowledge I know. I have a question. Can 487 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: I use elk die from mouth calls to locate moose. 488 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: I hunt in eastern Ontario, so we aren't privileged to 489 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: hunt elk and I've lost hope in the way. Uh 490 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: my camp hunts moose. Hopefully you can help me think 491 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: of ideas to help uh the success cheers. That's a 492 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: that's a question, John so. Um. As far as a 493 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: diet using like a diaphragm type call or whatever from moose, 494 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: I would say, I don't really know of any, um, 495 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: but that does not mean that you cannot call moose. 496 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: Calling moose is very fun when I guide have hunted. 497 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: I have never had a tag myself, but I've been 498 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: the guy calling him in for many people. For Shiris moose, 499 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: I've had the opportunity to hunt Alaska Yukon moose. I've 500 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: never had the opportunity to hunt Canadian moose, but they're 501 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: still moose and they can be called. Most moose calling 502 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: is done by voice calling, and I think that it's 503 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: a fairly easy call to make. I think it's the easiest. 504 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: I think moose are like one of the easiest animals 505 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: to call in. Um, So what I'll do, Uh, there's 506 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: a few calls that you should know, and I think 507 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: that these these are just fun. Like, not a lot 508 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: of people get the opportunity to moose hunt, but I 509 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: get enough moose hunting questions that I probably should just 510 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: do a moose hunting podcast. But for now, I'll just 511 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: do a little rundown of different kinds of calls that 512 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: I use. Uh, one of the honestly, one of the 513 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: more effective calls for moose is not even a sound 514 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: that moose make, but just that raking sound all use 515 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: um sometimes like a paddle, like literally like a boat 516 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: or have you even like walked around with one until 517 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: I found this like really good fiberglass um moose tube 518 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: that I is. Gosh, I don't even know the name 519 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: of it. I hope maybe somebody can, um try to 520 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: look it up at some point, but um, it's like 521 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: this fiberglass moose tube that I got someplace in Alaska. 522 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: They saw a lot of them in Alaska. It's good 523 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: because you can make the moose sounds through it, and uh, 524 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of just like a fiberglass megaphone if you will, 525 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: like non electronic obviously, but it's just like, I don't know, 526 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: but it makes a really good moose antler sound when 527 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: you rake it. Up against bushes. Um So, I think 528 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: that that's that's you know, something like that works really good. 529 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean some people just use their hands. I I 530 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: use my hands a lot when I'm calling. Um So, 531 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: the first sound be like a cow sound, and that's 532 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: more of like a nasally wine. Let's actually let's just 533 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: go with the easier sound. Let's go with the bull sound. 534 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: So bulls make kind of a grunt sound. I'll do 535 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: it through the tube or whatever. I like to plug 536 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: my nose when I make moose sounds. I'm just set 537 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: my headphones headset off real quick, and we'll try this. 538 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: I'll try to get close enough for I can still 539 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: make the sound. Give you a little demo of how 540 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: to do it, and everyone, whether you're get a moose 541 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: hunt or not, this is a fun time to just 542 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: make some animal noises. Okay, So the first sound is 543 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: just going to be like a bowl sound. This is 544 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: during the rut a lot of places like September, beginning 545 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: of October, good red time, like for Shire. The lower 546 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: the lower down your I say, like the sooner uh 547 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: moose rut further north, you guy. I think they start 548 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: writing a little bit later, but it's kind of in 549 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: that same time. I kind of think of it as 550 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: like the same time frame as ELK, but a little 551 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: bit later. Um. So let's let's start with the bull sound. 552 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: It's just a like a sound. So I plug my 553 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: nose and I get I try to make call from 554 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: like down in my stomach, and so it's a sound 555 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: I was just start by going or wawa and then 556 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: get it deeper and deeper, so it starts like from 557 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: your stomach like a little bit of an exhale. After that, 558 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: if you plug your nose, I feel like you get 559 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: a vibration the back of your throat to make it 560 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: a little more realistic. And obviously I'm just kind of 561 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: doing this hunched over a small microphone on my desk 562 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: that was on my head as a headset, so I 563 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: don't know, well it's gonna translate, but that that's the 564 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: first sound, and then the second sound. It's kind of 565 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: like this, um, I like during when they're running this 566 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: like cow wine, and I've used this sound for moose, 567 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: Like moose can be actually pretty curious too calls. They're 568 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: very solitary animal like, they're very solitary, but they don't 569 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: mind like running into other moose I've actually like called 570 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: moose that aren't running, but just out of curiosity. It's 571 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: a good way. Like if you're walking around you spook 572 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: a moose or whatever. Make these moose sounds. A lot 573 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: of times it'll stop, swirl around kind of like bull 574 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: elk do when you're it's outside the up you blow 575 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: an alcohol um, so this is a cow sound. More 576 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: easily plug my nose. You could do this through the 577 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: the moose call tube or whatever, and it's just more 578 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: of like a wine sound. So you're just uh wah 579 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: wah wine sound. I plug my nose and you can 580 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: even like almost like shake your hand on your nose. 581 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: You get more like vibration in it. That's a good 582 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: sound to kind of uh interest bowls and whatever you 583 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: got going on, um and and calling moose is really fun. 584 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: One thing you want to think about when you're calling moose, 585 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: get into an area where you see sign and then 586 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: like start your calling. I like to start I start 587 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: by uh grunting. Put the microphone back on, so I 588 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: start by grunting like and then because what I want 589 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: to do is I want just in case there's like 590 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: a bowl that he might step out or he might 591 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 1: immediately grunt back. Um, then I mix in some raking 592 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: and I throw up those those longer cow calls. Those 593 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: cal calls travel a lot further. So if you know 594 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: that they're running it's that right time of year, you 595 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: can draw them in from a longer distance. When you 596 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: when you're in a good spot, call like it takes 597 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: them forever to come in, honestly, So find a good 598 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: spot where there's like, let's say you've got good moose 599 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: habitat a good a good meadow, maybe a good feeding area, 600 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: maybe some sign, but you're like, I'm not seeing any 601 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: moose and calling the same place every day, Like I 602 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: know people that, um, they kind of set up like stands. 603 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: Like if you've got an area thick timber and overlooking meadow, 604 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: maybe build like a little platform and call from that 605 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: platform and see around and sometimes like it might take 606 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: them a day. But if you like, if you call 607 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: from that same place regularly, they might hear it from 608 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: a long ways off and it just takes them a 609 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: long time to come in and check it out. And 610 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: they oftentimes come quiet, like they aren't real loud callers 611 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: to response on like bugling or bugle bogle back, But uh, 612 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, kind of keep calling in those same areas 613 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: and kind of make like a call circuit and give 614 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: the bulls enough time to to get into your call. 615 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: And I think that you'll find some success doing that. 616 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: And I'd love to shoot me a picture when you 617 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: get a good bull or any bowl be stoked. All right? 618 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: This question comes from James. He says, Hey, just listen 619 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: to the spring Bear podcast. So much good info in there. 620 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Unfortunately, for 621 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: me where I live, spring bears isn't an option. Could 622 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: you do in depth podcast about fall bear hunting? Most 623 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: info out there on bear hunting is spring Bear. I'm 624 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: sure the tactics are different from April to August. Thanks, 625 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think that that definitely could be. 626 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: I got a lot of questions about fall bear hunting, 627 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: and like I mentioned earlier, there are some places that 628 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: do not have spring seasons. One thing I will say 629 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: that is true for spring bears is like, think about 630 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: it in the opposite fashion, but the primary thing is 631 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: finding that food source. So the food sources is definitely 632 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: gonna change. But there's a lot of good for there's 633 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: actually sometimes better and more targetable food sources in the fall. Um. 634 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: And it just just depends on water, the type of year, 635 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: the type of terrain you're at. Things you can look 636 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: out for berries, um, like acorns, like mass crop type stuff. 637 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: Real like the fall actually has some real high protein. 638 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: If you're in an area by the ocean or whatever, 639 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: you've got running fish and running salmon and all that 640 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: kind of stuff obviously makes a big difference. But um, 641 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: focusing in on food sources rose hips in the desert 642 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: country like anything that's different where you're like, hey, you're 643 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: looking at it, like where I hunt like more desert 644 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: type train. Um, I'm looking for things like pine nuts, 645 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: rose hips. Water sources another thing that works in the 646 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: fall too. If it's hot like August, those wallows, those 647 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: water sources. Um. But find the food, find the bears. 648 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: Find the food, find the sign, find the bears. It's 649 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: it's similar now in the opposite fashion. I think a 650 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: lot of people don't find bears in the fall because 651 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: they think, like, oh, they're spread out, whatever they're they're 652 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: more like the season timing can be shorter. But I 653 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: also think that people don't think about like the right 654 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: type of terrain for spring or fall bear hunting as 655 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: it gets later in the fall, as you get into 656 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: like you're like, okay, well what are they eating in October? Well, okay, 657 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe the acorns are gone, maybe everything's gone. Maybe it's 658 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: like okay almost that hibernation time. Well, hunt where they're going. 659 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna be going flipping high. So you want to 660 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: get up there. You want to be up where that 661 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: snow line is, like up in that open and start 662 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: looking for bears moving off to where they're going to 663 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: spend the winter. And that's a really a place to 664 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: start thinking. If you got let's say you've got a 665 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: mountain range that is uh, three thousand foot valley and 666 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: eleven thousand foot peak. Look in that seven thousand foot range, 667 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: like in the in those big canyons, in those openings 668 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: where they might be those um south faced slopes that 669 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: are gonna pack in with snow, and start glassing those. 670 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: Maybe you start glassing some of that snow. Maybe you'll 671 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: get lucky and get some snow in there and they're 672 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: gonna stand out pretty good. Uh. That's a little I 673 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: should probably should have given people that secret. But that's 674 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: a good secret to think about. It is like the 675 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: first place they come out of is the first place 676 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: they're going back to. So I think a lot of 677 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: people don't hunt high for bears in the fall. You 678 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: will be kind of above the pack if you're hunt 679 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: if you got later hunt and then earlier. UM, I 680 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: think earlier fall. If you're hunting fall, the earlier you 681 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: can hunt, the better. I mean, their hides might not 682 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: be as good or whatever. But August September is probably 683 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: the best time for seeing bears out just willy nilly 684 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: hitting food sources. Um. I see a lot more bears 685 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: hitting water and in being around those wet spots in 686 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: like September time frame August September, so those are really 687 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: good places to concentrate fall bear effort. This questions is 688 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: from Eric. He says, Hey, Remy, I'm new to archery 689 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: and wanted to know how you choose arrows you shoot. 690 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: Any advice would be greatly appreciated and helpful. That's a 691 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: great question. Um. Obviously, I first matched the arrow spine 692 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: and then I see what's available. I really like I'm 693 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: particular about everything, so I like things that are super accurate. 694 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: I shoot day six arrows. Um. I know the owner 695 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: really well, and I just like, actually, I know if 696 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: you probably message him on whatever and be like, hey, 697 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: what arrow should I shoot? I mean that's literally what 698 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, Hey, I mean, he knows arrows better than 699 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: anyone I know, so I always ask for his recommendation 700 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: first of like what arrow should I shoot? But he 701 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: knows my like setup style. I really like a heavy arrow, 702 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: um my current arrow. I just that's one thing I've 703 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: kind of I was talking about, just like this time 704 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: you're messed around with different stuff. I right now I 705 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: am shooting a little bit lighter, just kind of a 706 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: different spined arrow than I've been shooting, but one that 707 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: I could get a little bit more weight out of 708 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: the arrow, and then I'm just adding a little bit 709 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: more weight in the tip to kind of rebalance that 710 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: spine for tuning. I think right now I weighed this 711 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: new arrow that I'm trying at, uh just a little 712 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: over its six something grains for the whole arrow, which 713 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: um is fairly heavy. I mean hunting arrows can range 714 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: from four to three I mean I've seen it just 715 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: depends on your draw length and how much weight you're 716 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: shooting whatever. Um one thing with the heavier So I 717 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: like a heavier setup because I feel like you get well, 718 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: you're get You're gonna have a little more kinetic energy, 719 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna have a little bit more weight, maybe get 720 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 1: deeper penetration because I like, I mean a hunt elk um. 721 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: I like to be able to not worry about hitting 722 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: something as shoulder, and I like a pretty solid set up. 723 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: The downside of shooting heavier or is your pin gap 724 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: is a lot greater, so you know your margin of 725 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: error and exactly estimating the range of that animal. You know, 726 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: it's it's honestly personal preference. So I think anything in 727 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: that like five thirty range is a pretty good eight 728 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: like total arrow, broadhead everything where your pin gaps not 729 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: super big, but also you've got enough weight. And then um, 730 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: one thing I did notice, I just started shooting like 731 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: a this much heavier arrow. I think it's uh man, 732 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: I can't remember the exact grain sprints uner like eleven something, um, 733 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: and I shoot a pretty long arrow, but I've got 734 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: a pretty long draw length, so um. One thing I 735 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: have noticed is the heavier arrow is affected by wind 736 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: a lot less A lot of the places I hunt, 737 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: like where I practice shooting, it's windy every freaking day. 738 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: So that heavier arrow I've noticed it's just more accurate 739 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: during my practice sessions in that wind because I actually 740 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: don't even have to adjust for it. A lot more 741 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: mass traveling through the air. It's a little bit harder 742 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: for that cross wind to move it, but it is 743 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: moving a little bit slower than my previous era, which 744 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: was probably around five grains total arrow weight. So UM, 745 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I really like the day six erroos. 746 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: I've been shooting them for about a year now, and 747 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: just like Sue, per accurate. Um I switched to one 748 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: of the other things I was trying. I mean, this 749 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: is just me kind of talking about my setup and 750 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of the things that I mean, I 751 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: mess with stuff a lot. I actually have a bunch 752 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: of different arrows, a bunch of different tips, and I 753 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: just get like a sample That's what. I don't know 754 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: if anybody sells it, but a sample pack of arrows 755 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: would be awesome, like just different, Like maybe you could 756 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: get six of one type of arrow, just different spines 757 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: and different weights and other stuff, and you can mess 758 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: around with it with different weight tips. I got. I 759 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: just bought a bunch of different weight tips to just 760 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: try to find like the best tune, the best flight, 761 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: what works best with my bow. UM, But I did 762 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: switch to four veins. UH. Just this on this arrow, 763 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: I've really liked it. It stabilizes the arrow faster for 764 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: fixed blades or from what I've heard, and I find. 765 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: I found that I was shooting UM fixed blades even 766 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: out of like an arrow a bow before I even 767 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: tuned it. They were flying fairly similar to my UH 768 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: field tips, which I thought was pretty sweet. So, UM, 769 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: that's something to think about maybe trying a little bit 770 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: of fur vein action. But that's that's just kind of 771 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 1: my thoughts on arrows. I know people want so much 772 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: details on arrows, but I think at the end of 773 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: the day, you gotta go with what you like. Some 774 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: people like a faster arrow, some people like more weight. 775 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: I prefer more weight. If I'm gonna error on one side, 776 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with more weight. And I think that's uh, 777 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: that's just the way I like to go. Question comes 778 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: from Joshuay says Remy was curious what kind of hearing 779 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: protection you use while hunting. UM. That's a good question. 780 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: Currently I'm using a suppressor that's the best kind of 781 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 1: hearing protection. I've got a surefire so calm I pretty awesome. 782 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: But outside of that, I just I don't even know 783 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: who makes them. Um. I like the kind that are 784 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: like the hard plastic to go around my neck, so 785 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: I've always got them there. You might see like solo 786 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: hunter videos or whatever. You see me wearing those. Find 787 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: him on Amazon, find him wherever. I should probably just 788 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: like find someone the celmon on the website, because I do. 789 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: I do use those a lot. I like that kind. 790 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: I've bought many different brands. Um. I don't necessarily know 791 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 1: if the particular brand matters. It's just I like having 792 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: them handy and they're comfortable and you can wear them 793 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: all day, especially when I'm like bird hunting or whatever. 794 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: I've looked at. I see these like if I for 795 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: wing shooting. Man, those like molded ones that go in 796 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: your ear. You see them at the sports show all 797 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: the time, and I was like always thinking, man, I'd 798 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: really like that. I'd really like that, and they're kind 799 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: of expensive, but what's the price of your hearing? I 800 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: think I might look into that next time the sport 801 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: shows ramped back up. I don't know if there's probably 802 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: a way that you can do it at home now. 803 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,479 Speaker 1: But um, if you're like serious about it, those seem 804 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: pretty good. Any kind where you can kind of hear 805 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: a little bit through it too, um, but also cuts 806 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: off the high decibel levels. Sweet, But I just gotta 807 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: be something that, honestly, in my opinion, has to be 808 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: handy that you can grab and you aren't fumbling for. 809 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 1: And the kind that I wear around my neck pretty awesome. 810 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: I'll just keep in my pocket and then if I'm 811 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,479 Speaker 1: getting into action or whatever, I can put them around 812 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: my neck. Sometimes I just leave them around my neck 813 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: all the time. Sometimes forget they're there and take a 814 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: bunch of pictures with them on and then go why 815 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: was I wearing those? It's the goofy picture with my 816 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 1: head headphones on. But um, that's what I used while hunting. 817 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: All right, we'll go a couple more questions. Here is 818 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: when it comes from William. He says, how do you 819 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: remy like to hear your thoughts on multi purpose trips 820 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: examples spring bearer turkey trips and scouting for fall deer 821 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: elk trips at the same time shed hunting to help 822 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: out with late season spots, et cetera. Thanks for all 823 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: you do keep rocking will Pee from Texas. Yeah. I 824 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: mean a lot of my spring trips, especially in the 825 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: mountains um, are really primarily designed it thinking about spots 826 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: for the fall. One thing that you'll notice, especially when 827 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: it comes to like what I wanna do, is I 828 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: want to find the I like to go out the 829 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: times where the spring mimics the mirror of the fall. 830 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: So if you think about our seasons, right, you've got 831 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: like summer opposite winter, spring opposite fall. Um. Now, while 832 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: summer and winter, I would say our polar opposite. I 833 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: think spring and fall are the same thing in reverse, 834 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: you know. So, uh, spring is is everything is coming 835 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: up and the snow is going away, and fall is 836 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: the exact I guess it is opposite, like everything is 837 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: dying and some snow is coming down. But if you 838 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: were to split spring and fall out and look at 839 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: it like, Okay, what's the snow doing, what's the grass doing, 840 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: what's everything doing? At the very early part of spring, 841 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: in the very end of fall, there's very little vegetation um. 842 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: And then like you know, as you go closer to 843 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: the other side, it's the exact opposite. A lot of 844 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot of vegetation a lot of vegetation. So what 845 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: I like to do is I like to put spring 846 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: and fall in a mirror in in a way, like 847 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: a theoretical mirror, and I like to see, like in 848 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: my areas, where is the snow level in the spring 849 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: that kind of matches the fall, and like what time 850 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: and find those like those spots where spring and fall 851 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: like that that perfect timing where they mirror each other, 852 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: where the fall season is open. And then and that's 853 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: this is I should probably should just stop talking now 854 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: because this is like a secret that I probably shouldn't 855 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: give out. Um it's two. It's two in depth. Uh, 856 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm losing all my money telling people too many secrets. 857 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: But anyways, and then I like to use that springtime 858 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: to like find that mirror of the fall and scout. 859 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: Then and that might be I and I can do 860 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,959 Speaker 1: other things at the same time. Maybe I'll bear hunt 861 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: that particular area that time of year and see, like 862 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: what deer around. And I noticed that in that kind 863 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: of mirror of the fall, when the snow and whatever 864 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: is kind of similar the plant growth and everything, you 865 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,280 Speaker 1: start to find animals in the same type of places, 866 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: like especially in migratory areas. Like, let's say whatever California deer, 867 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: it's a it's a big migrating deer herd, and where 868 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: the deer are in the reverse going back up is 869 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: where you can kind of find them in the fall 870 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 1: going back down. So try to find those mirror spots 871 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: could be for elk, could be for meal deer, could 872 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: be for whatever. And yeah, maybe looking for sheds in 873 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: an area I find sometimes like where I find a 874 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: lot of sheds is only good if you're hunting like 875 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: a late season winter range hunt. I don't necessarily think 876 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: that it really translates to the fall super well, but 877 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: it is a good idea to know what kind of 878 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: deer in your area. Now, if you're talking about places 879 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: where there's not a big transient herd or it's all 880 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: local stuff, then yeah, I mean you can kind of 881 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: use those spring activities to really showcase what that area 882 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: has and and get you out and get you moving 883 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: around and get you learning and exploring new areas. But 884 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: finding that mirror in the spring and fall by doing 885 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: other and doing other activities at that time super secret, 886 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: awesome way to be more successful and spread your scouting 887 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: out throughout the year and get other stuff in all right, 888 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: last question here comes from Matthew. He says, where to 889 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: set up camp for elk in September? How far from 890 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: where the elk lives should I set up camp? I 891 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: get this question. I think that this is probably one 892 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: of the most asked questions I get, kind of one 893 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: that I always think about, like, I'm like, put it 894 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: on the back burner, but I think that this question 895 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a great podcast topic. So Matthew 896 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: is not the only person to ask this question. Many many, many, 897 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 1: many questions have come in like this, and it's one 898 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: that I think kind of like some of the pack 899 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: stuff I take for granted. I and as I think 900 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: about it, I think that it's one that needs addressed. 901 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: So the answer to that question will be next week's podcast. 902 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: If you've made it this far, uh and you're like, damn, 903 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: I want to hear next week next Thursday, same bad time, 904 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 1: same bat channel. I will be breaking down the whole 905 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: camping process, where you set up, how I set up, 906 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: what I think about camping, how close to the animals, 907 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: what's like a good place to camp, was not a 908 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: good place to camp. I'm going to answer all those 909 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: burning questions, which based on the amount of questions that 910 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: I get from that, I should just write a book 911 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: on it, and I'd sell a lot of those books. 912 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: So I thank you guys for all your questions. I 913 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: thank you guys for all the comments, and I hope 914 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: to see you back here next week to get the 915 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: answer to the burning question of where to set up 916 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: camp when you're hunting? All right, catch you guys later, Yeah,
