1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Cutting the Distance. On

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: this episode, I'm just gonna run through the gear I've used.

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Now that season's kind of wrapped up. My Oregon archery

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: el hunt, my Western Washington musli or el hunt, the

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Montana rifle hunt for deer, as well as my Kansas

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: arch whitetail hunt. There's gonna be a lot of overlap

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: between the gear I used on a lot of these,

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: but I'll go into the specifics on you know what

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I used that was different from hunt to hunt, kind

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: of what my layering system looked like, maybe what my

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: meals looked like on these. I'm not gonna have a

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: guest on this episode, just gonna be me kind of

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: rattling off the gear that I used, how it performed,

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: and in maybe any changes I'm gonna make, So we

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of cover it all from archery elk out west

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: all the way back to an eastern whitetail hunt, where

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: you're gear clothing, all that changes drastically. But like every

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: epid sort of Cutting the Distance, I'm gonna start off

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: with a few questions. I went to the Phelps game

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: calls messages that we've got and pulled these out of them,

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: but if you have any questions for me or my guests,

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: feel free to email them to us at CTD at

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: phelps game Calls dot com or like where we got

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: these questions from. Hit us up with some social media

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: messages and we'll do our best to get them in.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: So my first question was from Steve Barker, and he's

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: asking about broadheads for lower poundages. He mentions that his

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: wife and daughter both shoot forty to forty five pounds

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and for white tails they've shot lighter seventy five to

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: eighty five grain heads with great success. And he's asking,

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: what would you recommend on ELK. So I want to

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of start off with shot placement, you know, very cliche,

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: but shot placement is ultimate and you need to, you know,

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: have an arrow. If you're going to go up and wait,

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: you need to make sure you know you got your

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: your the right arrow, the right spine on that arrow

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to make sure it works. So a lot of times

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I ask I would ask you, like, is there seventy

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: five to eighty five grain head doesn't meet all the

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: legal requirements for that western state or the state it

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: may not even be a Western state, but the state

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: that you're gonnahut elk in. If they meet all of

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: those and they shoot them very well, I would say

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe continue to shoot those. Or if you're one of

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: those on the fence about mechanical versus fixed blades, stay

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: with the same weight, but maybe switch to a fixed

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: blade head as long as it meets the minimum cutting

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: diameter and so on and so forth. I'm a big

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: fan of continuing to use what works. Yeah, if you're

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: starting from scratch, some things I would consider on elk,

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: regardless of whether you're shooting a big setup like me.

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, and my big setup comes mainly from having

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: long arms and and you know, full length arrows. But

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: I would look at like a cut on contact head.

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm currently using iron rolls standards. I like the design

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: of them. I like, you know, the the tounel point,

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I like how sharp they are, I like how they fly,

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: how they spin. But also if you maybe don't want

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: to go spend as much on iron wheels in the past,

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I've had some great success with slick tricks viper trick.

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: It's also a cut on contact. That blade is you know,

62
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: in the elk before the farrell ever is it's already

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: cutting tissue, and it's got less resistance you know, to

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: some of these non cut on contact heads in my opinion,

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: you know, chisel trips, chisel tips, they talk about breaking

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: bone and stuff better. I'm from from what I've seen.

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stick to cut on contact and then

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: get good penetration. And to get good penetration, I'm also

69
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: going to lean towards a smaller cutting diameter I'm gonna

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: look for. You know, I still shoot, as I mentioned,

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: the S one hundred, which is the standard iron will.

72
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I may be wrong, but it's either one inch or

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: one in sixteenth inch cutting diameter, very small. And what

74
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I really want when I shoot a bowl at any

75
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: angle is a whole in and a hole out. I

76
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: want that arrow to drive through as deep as I

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: can and ultimately hopefully give me, you know, two holes

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: to blood trails. So I've hunted with Kelly Smith, who's

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: my good buddy, Charlie Smith's wife. I've saw her shoe

80
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: elk and blow right through him, and I believe she's

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: only shooting in the low fifties. So I think you

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: stay away from those heavy front leg bones, heavy shoulder bones.

83
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Maybe give yourself a little more room for air behind

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: that front leg and make sure you're still hitting square

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: in the lungs. Don't risk it. A forty to forty

86
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: five pounds setup should be fine. You know, shot placements important,

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: but with that cut on contact small cutting diameter should

88
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: should be the trick. Jumping into the next question from

89
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: Steven Adney, he's asking about overnight trips and what size

90
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: pack he needs. You know, he needs in order to

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: stay out for three to five nights at a time. So, Steve,

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably get a whole bunch of answers from

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different people. You know, they're the

94
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: minimalists that try to pack. You know, I'm not bringing

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: any extra change of socks, underwear, clothes. You know, I'm

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna have a sleeping bag and I'm gonna

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: put a piece of taiek over me and that's gonna

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: be their sleeping arrangement. So it really depends on how

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: how comfortable you want to be, how many luxuries you

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: want to pack along what your food looks like. But

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I've always been of of the the idea I want

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: as big a pack as possible, and it's not so

103
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: much for what I'm going to pack in or to

104
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: let me overpack on the way in. But what it

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: does allow me to do is, uh, if I do

106
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: kill something and want to get my camp back out

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: on that trip, I've got additional room without having the

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: daisy chain. All of my camp supplies on the on

109
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: the outside of my pack. So you know, I'm I'm

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: hunting with a pack that's anywhere from sixty five hundred

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: to seventy five hundred cubic inches and people may say, well,

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: that's huge. I have yet to see my pack not

113
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: compressed down to two thousand cubic inch packs, and that's

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, for a couple extra ounces of material. It

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: gives me the ability to blow that pack way up,

116
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: you know. You add the snow collar on and so

117
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: I can pack my uh you know, really really kind

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: of push my pack up, you know, as I need to.

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm more of a simple guy, so I have one

120
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: large compartment. I don't have this thing organized down. If

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: I need to do any additional organization, I'll use different

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: dry sacks to to separate things. But for the most part,

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I stuff into the bottom. So I would say,

124
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: some guys if you're very very you know, space conscientious

125
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: and and ultra light and really packing the minimum. Some

126
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: guys can get by on a three thousand, you know

127
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: cupikinch pack for a three to five nights day. You know,

128
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: really all your after you've got your sleeping system in there,

129
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 1: and and it's really just adding additional food at some point,

130
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of additional fuel, maybe a little

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: bit of additional water storage. But that's really all that

132
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: changes in my overnight kit. My my base kit, whether

133
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: it's one day or five days, looks the same. I've

134
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: got some sort of shelter, whether it's a it's an

135
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: ultra light you know. I've been using a seak outside

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: cuban fiber tent, floorless tent that weighs, you know, under

137
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: two pounds. If I'm grabbing my kafaro saw tooth, if

138
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be you know, with a stove, I'm

139
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: able to get it in five pounds. I've got to

140
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: put those in there. When I'm spiking out, I'm using

141
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: a stone glacier fifteen degree bag, so I get that

142
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: stuffed in there, a sleeping pad, and that's really my

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: base and then from there it's really just adding on

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: additional food. You know, on a longer trip, I may

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: throw in an extra pair of socks, extra pair of skivs,

146
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But that's really what my system is.

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: So you really have to kind of find out for yourself,

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Steve on what you're comfortable with what you need to

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: have in there. But I would say anywhere from three thousand,

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: but I would urge people to go a little bit larger.

151
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't take up much extra weight. You can compress

152
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: all that extra space, and I'm one for I can

153
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: save the weight in minimalizing my pockets. I don't need

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of pockets on the outside. I don't need

155
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of organization on the inside. As long as

156
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: everything can fit in there, I'm gonna dump all that

157
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: when I get to camp anyways and have all kinds

158
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: of room, you know, I can use them zip block

159
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: bags or whatever to separate other stuff. And that's really

160
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: my my simplified system for for overnight trips. And you know,

161
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: we've packed in anywhere from you know, one night to

162
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: ten night, and I'm using that same pack for everything.

163
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, there there's we'll get into it a little

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: bit here as I as I talk about what pack

165
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I use on these hunts and why, But I'm really

166
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: looking for other things, like, you know, can the suspension

167
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: all the wait comfortably? You know some of those things.

168
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Can I get it all in there for my pack out?

169
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, anywhere from you know, some guys can make

170
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: it even smaller than three thousand, but I would say

171
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: for the majority, you're gonna be at that three thousand

172
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: and thirty five hundred cubic inch all the way up

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: to the larger, you know, expeditions style packs. But uh yeah,

174
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: you just have to kind of test and find for yourself.

175
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: But once again, once again, once again, if you have

180
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Dirk or any of our guests. So everybody nowadays seems

181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: to be doing you know, pack dumps or gear dumps.

182
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to go through I used quite

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: a bit of New Year this year. Some of the

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: stuff's been old, and I just kind of wanted to

185
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: walk through my four hunts, kind of go over the

186
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: gear I used kind of start to finish, you know,

187
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: and maybe some things people don't talk about or things

188
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: that aren't that glorified, but really just kind of go

189
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: through what we use. So my first time of the

190
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: year was an archery Oregon el hunt. The unit I

191
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: was in wasn't really set up to spike out in.

192
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: There were a few spots to spike in there, but

193
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to film in them, so it didn't

194
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: make any sense to to you know, spike in or

195
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: set up for those. So this is what I would

196
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: consider like a Waltint base camp. I only have a

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: twenty by sixteen Waltint which was set up for me

198
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: and my camera guy, so there was all kinds of

199
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: room we did. You know, we weren't worried about grizzly

200
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: bears or anything like that, so we had our cook

201
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: system inside that same tent. We had our table inside

202
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: that tent. All of our gear easily fit with our

203
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: two cots inside that tent. Since this hunt was going

204
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: to take place in the middle of September, we elected

205
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: not to pack the stove, which takes up a bunch

206
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: of room and we would have had to gather firewood

207
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: and whatnot. We figured with the temps we wouldn't need

208
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: a wood wood stove. About day five or six, when

209
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: the temperature started to drop into the freezing, we were

210
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: starting to wish we had a stove. And it's not

211
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: so much that your sleeping bags weren't able to handle it.

212
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: It was just, you know, it wasn't as fun, you know,

213
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: sitting around in the wall tent and all of your

214
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: your puffy coats and whatnot, trying to get ready for bed,

215
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: or just to sit up and have a conversation, you know,

216
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: about the hunts, that day's hunts, tomorrow's hunts, just conversations

217
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: in general. What we used to cook on that one. So,

218
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of our hunts were back packing.

219
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: You see a lot of the jet boils or the

220
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: MSR reactor stoves or whatever little system we use with

221
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: the iso buttane. On this one, knowing that we were

222
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: gonna have a base camp, we we grabbed a five

223
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: gallon bottle of propane and we just packed along a

224
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: two burner camp chef stove to be used on this hunt.

225
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: And rather than have to have a bunch of pans

226
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: and cleaning them, we elected to just have the griddle insert.

227
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: So this is what I use on all of my

228
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: my trips to the dunes with the family. We do

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: a lot of cooking on this. It's easy, it's simple.

230
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: You know. Around home we use a blackstone, but you know,

231
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: we're camping. The camp chef's a little more durable and

232
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't care as much about it breaks down a

233
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: little bit easier, so we just throw the camp chef

234
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: in the back of the truck. It's kind of indestructible,

235
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: always reliable. So yeah, just use that camp chef for

236
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: all of our cooking. It got a little boring. It

237
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: was a lot of uh, you know, burgers and hot

238
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: dogs and uh you know brought worst and then we'd

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: go back through burgers. We did have steaks one night

240
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: and uh my camera guy Dave's brought some brisket for

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: the first night, so we switched it up. But it

242
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: was a lot of canned vegetables, you know, burgers and

243
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that, which was which was plenty for us

244
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: as far as food on a normal hunt. On a

245
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: normal year, I eat a lot of just whatever, you know, uh,

246
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you know the Belvida breakfast bars, you know, any of

247
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: those you know, nice bars, any kind of just glued

248
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: together corn syrup tight bars seemed to kind of fill

249
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: my pack. This year, I went a little bit different direction.

250
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: I was trying to eat a little bit more healthy,

251
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: try to get a little bit more fat me and

252
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: a little bit less quick carbs. So a lot of

253
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: what I ate this year was a lot of keto

254
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: nut mixes, a lot of bags of nuts. We brought

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: some like hard parmesan cheese. There were some ultrafat packets

256
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: that used to be like f bomb packets, but now

257
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: they're like ultrafat packs, which is like a macadamia nut

258
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: mixed with some with some coconut oil, you know, heavy

259
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: calorie type stuff. A lot of meat sticks, so I

260
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: bought a lot of There's a Bavarian meats company. They

261
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: make these little short Lndieger's, like two in a bag.

262
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: I'd throw one or two of those packages in my

263
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: pack every day and then really just kind of really

264
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: boring food selection, but kind of just grinded it through

265
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: the hunts with just minimal you know land Dieger meat sticks,

266
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: nut you know, bags and nuts. And then I was

267
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: eating I don't remember the exact brand, but they're like

268
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: a baked protein bar you know, like sixteen the thirty

269
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: thirty grams of protein per bar just to it was

270
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of a little treat throughout the day, a little bit,

271
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, satisfy that sweet tooth, but that was really

272
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: all I ate through the day. And then we'd come

273
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: home and have kind of a big, a big meal

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: on the camp shift. So that was kind of my

275
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: eating a lot different than what you see a lot

276
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: of these guys pack or what I've packed in the

277
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: pass where it's you know, a bag of sour patch kids,

278
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: gummy worms, you know, whatever you can find and get to.

279
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Really just kind of went a different direction this year

280
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: and tried to try to be a little more healthy

281
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: throughout the hunt, and I see, I think it kind

282
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: of kept my energy levels higher and more sustained. Maybe

283
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't as good you know on a on a

284
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: steep incline or a quick run up a mountain, but

285
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: overall start to finish, I felt a lot better. We

286
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: mentioned our cots and sleeping bag and the wall tent.

287
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: So when I'm in a wall tent, I've got my

288
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: canvas cutter system, and then I've just got my Kafaro

289
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: fifteen degree synthetic bag. Kind of stuffed in that it's

290
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: plenty warm on a hunt like this, the fifteen degrees

291
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: is plenty. It does a good job keeping me warm.

292
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: The canvas cutters outfitted with four inches of memory film

293
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: that kind of lays in the bottom, and I just

294
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: kind of keeping an old pillow stuffed in there, a

295
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: real you know, I don't even know what it is,

296
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: a cotton pillow or whatever the heck. You know your

297
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: old standard cheap pillows are made out of and that

298
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: that system is great. I do. I do have an

299
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: old school caught. I need to upgrade to get a

300
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a bigger one because it seems like

301
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm touching all four sides of this thing. But that's

302
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: just kind of my system. I actually sleep better sometimes

303
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: on this cotton sleeping bag with the FULM system than

304
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: I do when I get home on my bed, so

305
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: real comfortable and just kind of makes it gives me

306
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: a good night's sleep. As far as when I got

307
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: to this hunt, you know, what was I going to

308
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: be shooting this year? You know, in the past, I've

309
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: been shooting some psc options. This year, I went back.

310
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: My good buddy Corey Miller is working for Black Eagle

311
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Arrows and Darton. I went to a three D shoot

312
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: with him and Eastern Montana and got talking with him

313
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: and Randy Kits, the owner of Darton and Black Eagle,

314
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: just a great guy, and we talked to them and like, yeah,

315
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead, and you know, I haven't shot at

316
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Darton forever. I've never shot a Darton, but let me

317
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: let me shoot you guys, got let's make sure we

318
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, we like them, and and so yeah, we

319
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: just kind of to try something different. So I ended

320
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: up shooting a Darton Vera City. I don't know if

321
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: it's Verocity or Veracity thirty five. Really liked it. It's

322
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: a little bit heavier than like the PSC thirty four

323
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: mock thirty four that I shot last year, but I

324
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: held the bow a lot better. Lighters not always better,

325
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to keeping a bow on target

326
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and how much the bow's reacting. At least for me,

327
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: I felt way more confident in this bow. The bow

328
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: shot where I wanted it to, and one of the

329
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: big bonuses it tuned up very very easy. Now it

330
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: may have been because I had, you know, Henry Bass

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: come to my place and get it all tuned up,

332
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, a great, great archery shooter. We also kind

333
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: of knew tuning it into into where the new arrows

334
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: were going to be, that there weren't gonna be a

335
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of changes between a broadhead and we were shooting

336
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: them side by side as we got them tuned, so

337
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: right off the bat we basically had our bow broadhead

338
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: tuned as well as shooting field points great. We didn't

339
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: mess with paper, which is something I really liked. We

340
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: just went straight to shooting broadheads and field points and

341
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: got them to dial in. I really liked that system

342
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: because from when I switched from field points to broadheads

343
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: full time, everything was just kind of dialed and ready

344
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: to go. Really really liked that bow. Like I say,

345
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: it's a little heavier to pack around, but I will

346
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: trade a little bit of you know, in the grand

347
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: scheme of it. What's a half a pound a pound?

348
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: Even when I know, I draw that bow back and

349
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: in my mind's at ease because that pins just kind

350
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: of sitting where I want. Really liked it. Shot great.

351
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: We'll get to the shot on the bowl and you

352
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: can't ask for much more than that. At the end,

353
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: arrows I shot blacks black eagle, X impacts for those

354
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, I've got a thirty two

355
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: inch draw and it's all of thirty two inches. If

356
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: bows would let me go farther, I could probably get

357
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: another half inch, if not more, out of them. So

358
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm shooting a two to fifty spine, a very stiff arrow,

359
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: and these arrows are full length, so I don't cut them. Thankfully,

360
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: the Black Eagle, you know a lot of times that

361
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: the imperfections come at the ends. Thankfully for me, the

362
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Black Eagle X impacts pretty straight all the way through.

363
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: So we just take a full ink shaft, get them

364
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: prepped up, and that's what I'm shooting. We add some

365
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: weight to the tip, so along with that iron will

366
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: s one hundred, I'm adding some weight to to the

367
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: tip on the insert as well as the the I'm

368
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: gonna get this wrong, and hopefully I'm shooting basically a

369
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: half sert. I believe we've got basically a hidden system

370
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: down inside that then attaches you know, to that, to

371
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: that arrow, and it's great. I can if I need to.

372
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't get too hung up on tuning my broad

373
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: heads or getting everything to match in. But but that

374
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: system gives me about two hundred and twenty grains I

375
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: think plus mnus in the front. So I end up

376
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: shooting about a five hundred and seventy to five hundred

377
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and eighty grain arrow, thirty two inches of draw at

378
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: about seventy two and a half pounds, and we're shooting

379
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: at you know, mid to eighties. So I'm not one

380
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: of those guys that just chases crazy high arrow weights.

381
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I build my setup backwards, so I look at the

382
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: bow's rated speed, know where it's going to be, and

383
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: then I just kind of build my arrow to put

384
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: me at the mid two eighties. I found mid two eighties.

385
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Keeps my pin, my pin GAP's pretty tight, but also

386
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: make sure that tune in broadheads isn't too much of

387
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: a pain in the neck. And so just kind of

388
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: sat there my rest on that that bow is a

389
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: black Gold Ascent Pro. One thing that I do a

390
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: little bit different than others is I shoot all green pins.

391
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I set up my twenty thirty forty for an one

392
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: to nine pin, and then I set up my fifty

393
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: yard pin as an nine all green. Some people are like,

394
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: well that's confusing. I just it's easy to keep track

395
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: and it keeps me honest. I just I have to count,

396
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, twenty thirty, forty, and then trust me. After

397
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: a while, it just becomes second nature. You know. If

398
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: you're Hayman thirty, you're using your second pin and so

399
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: on my fifty yard pins my slider. I don't think

400
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: I ever slid my site all year, aside from getting

401
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: my site tape set. So it's there, but I hopefully

402
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: never have use it, and I never intend on using

403
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: it unless the situation, you know, requires it. But for

404
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: the most part, don't like to mess with that cider.

405
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: I use tight Spot's new five arrow quiver light. It's

406
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: got the rubber hood with some cutouts on it. And

407
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: then for a rest, I had the rip Chord microadjust

408
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: drive cage, and for a stabilizer, I've got like a

409
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: ten inch spider with four or five ounces on the end.

410
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: Really kind of settles my bow down for me and

411
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: balances out pretty nice. So that's really all I've got

412
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: going on with my bow. We got the Dart and

413
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: Varasty black Eagle arrows, iron Will broadheads, gold black Gold

414
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Ascent Pro, We've got tight Spot, and then we got ripcord.

415
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Pretty simple and for me as much as I like

416
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: this bo, my ultimate goal when I get shooting this

417
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: thing is to have absolute confidence at any range that

418
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot an ELK that that that I'm gonna

419
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: hit that thing within that kill zone. And I haven't

420
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: been as confident in this in one of my setups

421
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: since I shot my Elite thirty five whatever that was

422
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: ten years ago. This is this has had me, you know,

423
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: very I guess my Voked thirty five from PSC I

424
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: was pretty confident in, but got really confident in this bow,

425
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: which is for me is ultimately what matters when I'm

426
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: out in the field. I know I'm gonna make a

427
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: shot when the shot prevents itself. So what's on my feet?

428
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: For boots? I usually I've had all kinds of issues

429
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: with boots over my years. I've tried almost every mountain

430
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: boot and then ultimately settled on Crispy brickstalls we've used.

431
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: They used to have the Black, which were like a

432
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Flex Level five, and then they had like the Brown,

433
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: which I believe were like a Flex level three. Brown

434
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: was non insulated. Black had two hundred Graham's inslation. Well,

435
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: fast forward to twenty three, Krispy brought out a bunch

436
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: of new boots around the Brickstall series, and one that

437
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: really caught my eye was the Brickstall pro Gta. So

438
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: it has a synthetic a synthetic fiber on the outside,

439
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: same last, same everything else as a bricks all same

440
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: lay system. But we had a synthetic fiber, and we

441
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: also had the gore tex. And one thing I didn't

442
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: know if I was gonna like it or not, but

443
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: it is a light gray boot. They added two undred

444
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: grams of insulation to this boot, which for September August

445
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: September hunts. I'm like, I didn't know if I was

446
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna like it, but I didn't notice any issues throughout

447
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: the hunt. These boots were dang near perfect. We had

448
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: just a little bit of separation of the rubber ram.

449
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: But I also wore these boots for sixty plus days

450
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: in the mountains. You know. All over performed flawlessly. We

451
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: we did some did some touch ups with some marine goop,

452
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: cleaned them out, and they're backed as good as new.

453
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: Everything else on the boot held up great, So I

454
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: can't complain about about those. But while I'm giving you

455
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: recommendations on boots, I also need to caveat this with

456
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: do not take somebody's recommendations for boots unless it's like

457
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: maybe on the durability, everybody's foot's different. Everybody's got a

458
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: different last that they build their boots on. Even within

459
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: the same brand, Like all the boots won't fit the same.

460
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: They'll put one on one last one on a different one.

461
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: So that's take it for durability. But I'm not saying

462
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: that everybod needs to go out and try the crispy brickstalls.

463
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: But for me, a guy with a lot of foot issues,

464
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: they worked great. Maybe just as important as the boots

465
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: or the socks. What what you've got on between your

466
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: your foot and the and the boots. I've used to

467
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: be a smart wool guy. I've I've tried all of

468
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: these different brands and ultimately ended up on darn tough

469
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: full cushion socks. They they have a way tighter you know,

470
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: weave or a knit or whatever you want to call them.

471
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: They're tighter, they're more comfortable, they're more durable that I

472
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: just don't have heel issues, blister hotspot issues with darn

473
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: tuffs on, and so I don't know if it's a crispies.

474
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a darn tuffs, but whatever

475
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: it is, those two are going to go in a

476
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: combo and I'm gonna stick with them. So darn tuff

477
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: full cushions inside the crispy brickstalls are a month system

478
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: for me. What's on your back? We talked a little

479
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: bit earlier on one of the listener questions. I'm still

480
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: using an old school I've got a forty four mag

481
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: from Kafaru and I've got a Cavern from Kafaru, which

482
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: is about a sixty five hundred cubic inch pack. I

483
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: no longer carry a big hood. I found that I

484
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: just ended up stuffing it full of too much crap

485
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: that I don't need. So I just ran a Kafaro

486
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Cavern big open pack and it works great for me.

487
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: And what I really like about the Kafaro is I've

488
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: been using them since twenty eleven. The suspension has never

489
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: ever let me down. Well, I shouldn't say never. I

490
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: had one issue on my Oregon Bowl in twenty one

491
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: where one of my load lifter straps had broke a buckle.

492
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything that I couldn't get taken care of

493
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: with some five fifty para cord and then Kafaro took

494
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: curve of it right away as soon as I got out.

495
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: So it's not ideal to have equipment break. But I've also,

496
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: in whatever it is a thirteen years now, only ever

497
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: had one issue, and I'm not gonna say that it

498
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: wasn't mine, because when you switch packs around and have

499
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: to reconnect everything, I may have, you know, messed something

500
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: up on how I connected that loadlifter, but been super

501
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: happy with the Kavaro. You know, my packs squeak free,

502
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: which is one of the things that I used to

503
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: drive me nuts about my old packs, and then that

504
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: one pack. I like how it's organized. I've got a

505
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: spotting scope pocket on the outside. My tripod attaches very easily,

506
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: very quick to get in out of, and we'll pack

507
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: way more than I ever will be able to. Another

508
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: thing that I do when I when I have meat

509
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: as well, a lot of people like this pack will

510
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: separate away from the frame. I carry a one hundred

511
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: liters dry bag and I just drop all of my

512
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: meat into that dry bag until I get out, unless

513
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be a real long pack out, and

514
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: then I've got to try to figure out how to

515
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: get some air to it. But packs worked great for me.

516
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: As far as clothing. On a September hunt, I like

517
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: to be able to layer. And whether it's an archery

518
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: hunt in September, whether it's a rifle deer hunt in

519
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: ten degrees, I like to try to get by on

520
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: three lays, you know, three layers I like to have.

521
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Like in September, it's usually gonna be the wick against

522
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: my skin. If is it gets more colder, we may

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: move into the kiln or even into some heavier you know,

524
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: first light stuff, whether you know it's a furnace or

525
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, some of those other ones. But usually for

526
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: me it ends up being the wicic early season, and

527
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: then we go to kiln, you know. After that, then

528
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: I like to go with either a fleece or you know,

529
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: whether it's the origin hoodie or like the klamath over

530
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: top of it. And then from there I go to

531
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: the big coat, whether it's you know, for me right

532
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: now it's the chamberlain. You know, we're we're we're going

533
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: into that With those three layers, depending on how I

534
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: mix and match them, I should be able to get through,

535
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, any situation early season all the way to

536
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: late season. I was able to test out first Slight's

537
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: new pattern this year. The circle pattern kind of built

538
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: for new Western open environments, and I tell you what,

539
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: at least on the Oregon Elkin, it blended in great

540
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: with some of that open yellow grass more open country.

541
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm not real thick dark timber seemed to perform really,

542
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: really well. As far as my harness. You know another

543
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: sister company I've worked with Paul well before we ever

544
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: joined up at Meat Eater. You know, I'm using their

545
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: front opening bino system. On my right pocket since I'm

546
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: right handed, I've got my rangefinder pocket, and on my

547
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: left wing, I've got an E three pocket and they

548
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: I've got a little velcro strap in there and that

549
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: allows me to hold my thumb release. So I've got

550
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: my archery release on my left pocket, my rangefinder on

551
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: my right, and then my binos straight down the middle

552
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: optics I used. I use these on all my hunts,

553
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: a loophole ten by forty two binos. I used to

554
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: use the BX five's. They've got some new range finding

555
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: binoculars out now, the BX four range finding binoculars. I'm

556
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: still using some old prototypes that I was given three

557
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: years ago out the glass and I really really like them,

558
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm still continuing to use. And then

559
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: for a rangefinder on the archery, I ended up with

560
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: the r X five full draw range finder. I love

561
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: that thing. It's quick, it calculates my my true horizontal distance,

562
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: and I can trust that thing whether I'm shooting hundred

563
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: yards you know, on a three D course straight downhill,

564
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: always seems to give me the right answer. So once

565
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: we did find some success on the hunt, my knife

566
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: that I use was a bench made hidden canyon hunter.

567
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: I like to have a big, heavy duty blade that's

568
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: that's sharp. I get in there and try to do

569
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: quick work. I used. I love, you know, havalons and

570
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: stuff when you're when you're caping or around the face

571
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: or the heads, or but for skinning quickly making sure

572
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: you're not cutting to hide, I'd much rather take my

573
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: bench made hidden canyon knife or those type of knife,

574
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, those five inch type fixed blades that you

575
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: can rip, you know, rip and tear and kind of

576
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: get through that animal really quickly. Maintains a great edge

577
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: and it's very very easy to sharp. And I also

578
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: carry in the same pocket a work sharp field sharpener

579
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: just with the you know, real easy to touch up

580
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: that knife and get things back to the way they

581
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: were to start with. And we'll talk a little bit

582
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: on the meal deer hunt when you're when you're having

583
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: some success and you're you're ending up on all of

584
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: the on all the processing. You know, we we had

585
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: to get through five six seven deer with those and

586
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: that work sharp field sharpener just works quick calls. I

587
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: can't I can't go through through what we use without

588
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: mentioning mentioning calls. So we release that new unleashed two

589
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: point zero this year. And while a lot of guys

590
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: like I still just love the metal bugle tube. I

591
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: love the ring, I love the residents we get out

592
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: of a of an aluminum material. So I ended up

593
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: sticking with our metal bugle tube this year. I threw

594
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: an easy sucker on form my external. I actually didn't

595
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: pack a Mini X. I don't believe if I did,

596
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: I didn't use it a whole lot. And then for diaphragms,

597
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: I ended up using a combination of the Pink amp,

598
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: which is my signature call the Green amp, and then

599
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: also threw in a Pitch Black two occasionally on that hunt.

600
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: So I don't pack a lot of calls, don't need to,

601
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: but that was kind of what we had headlight. When

602
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: things got dark, I was actually using the lead lenser

603
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: MH eight style headlamp. I like it because I can

604
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: charge it. If I get back to the truck after dark,

605
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: I can hit it up, hook it up to my

606
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: USB charger, get it charged up for the rest of

607
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: the day, and if I happen to be out too

608
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: long or can't or can't you know, get it charged.

609
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: I can take out the rechargeables and dump in normal

610
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: double A batteries and we're right back to going. It

611
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: also comes with the case that acts as a battery pack,

612
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: so when we're on at least for the first couple

613
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: of days, you know, if we're not using our headlamps

614
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: a lot, I can recharge that thing, you know, three

615
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: or four times and without having to dip into to

616
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: the lithiums and get that thing recharged. You know, game bags,

617
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: everybody's what game bags you use. I'm like, I using

618
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the sordid grab bag over all these years. You know,

619
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: I've got some Margali, I've got some tag bags. I've

620
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: got some that Loophold sent me. We've just got a

621
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: big mix of game bags and after washing them and

622
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: having forty different bags kind of sitting in the shop,

623
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: I'd usually just grab and they've all worked fairly well

624
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, don't have any complaints there, so

625
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, aside from that, that's really kind of the gear.

626
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: The main gear that we used on on this, uh

627
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, archery l hunt on X was used. One

628
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: thing I didn't mention, which you know, we did use

629
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: a lot of on X. You know, depending on whether

630
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: we were next to property boundaries, need to figure out

631
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: where we're at how to get access, so a lot

632
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: of on X was used to make sure we're staying

633
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: in place. And uh yeah it was that. That was

634
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: the gear that I use on that, And a lot

635
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: of this is gonna carry over. So then my next

636
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: hunt of the year rolls into like a Washington rolls

637
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: into my Washington muzzli or hunt really similar temperature to

638
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: Oregon archery hunt. So a lot of the gear is

639
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna stay the same. But one thing I do want

640
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: to kind of highlight is the muzzloader that I've always used.

641
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: The Traditions Northwest edition. You know. So we used to

642
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: have some stricter rules on traditional muzzleloaders. A couple of

643
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: years ago they changed those rules, and so this year

644
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: I was able to use a Remington seven hundred Ultimate muzzleloader.

645
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: For those of you that haven't seen it, I think

646
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: it's a short and three oh eight case with a

647
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: magnum rifle primer as your ignition system, and then the gun.

648
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: I need to be careful what I say. The gun

649
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: doesn't say it's designed to use Blackhorn too O nine,

650
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: but I move forward with black Horn two nine, so

651
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: I'm not endorsing it, not saying it's it's okay for it.

652
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: I do have a new breach plug coming for it,

653
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: which is set up for Blackhorn too and nine. But

654
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: I used that original ignition system inititional or that original

655
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: breach shot Blackhorn two O nine. Ideally you should be

656
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: measuring your powder by weight on a scale, but I

657
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: was using one hundred and five grains by volume, which

658
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't even want to get the math wrong. Ends

659
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: up being somewhere between like seventy two to seventy five

660
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: grains by weight, a fairly light load. But because I

661
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: didn't have the breach correct that stock Remington seven hundred.

662
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: Ultimate breach isn't designed for black horn two nine, and

663
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want a gas cut that breach. I kept

664
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: it pretty dang light, and then I this year elected

665
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: to use Federal Trophy copper borlock two seventy, very easy

666
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: to load, very very accurate of my gun. So with

667
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: all of that being set up, worked very very well,

668
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: and I'm actually sitting here holding one of the mushroomed bullets.

669
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: Performance was amazing on boat first bullet from long distance,

670
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: you don't quite get the expansion that bullet passed through.

671
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: My follow up shot from sixty yards mushroomed out perfectly

672
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: and was lodged in the opposite shoulder that that worked

673
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: great and you couldn't ask for a better performance on

674
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: the bullet We did recover h on this one, we

675
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: we a little bit different style. I haven't been able

676
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: to get an elk out hole in a long long time,

677
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: but this el cap and to die and some property

678
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: that we had permission to get to. So on this

679
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: hunt we used a retrieval vehicle which was we have

680
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 1: a can am which actually my daughter's can am Trail

681
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: one thousand. She likes to put around the yard and

682
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: go for little nature drives and whatnot. So we hooked

683
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: that up. We're able to get to that bowl and

684
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: ultimately get that bowl out hole, which is is real nice,

685
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's nice to clean up when you

686
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: get back to to the We have a meat shop

687
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: with an eight x ten you know, cooler and and

688
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: all of that. And so got it back to the

689
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: home and was able to break that thing down and

690
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: the can am came in real nice because the property

691
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: owner didn't necessarily want to take our truck out there,

692
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: but didn't mind if we had a small little UTV

693
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: and so that that worked out, you know good. But yeah,

694
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: everything else aside from that was very similar. The same clothing,

695
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: same boot, same pack, same everything aside from the weapon.

696
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: That one was right in my backyard. So you also

697
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: switched up camp and you ended up you ended up

698
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: just staying at home, and it's kind of nice being

699
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: able to come home, get a good night's rest and

700
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: then you know, get up an hour hour and a

701
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: half before daylight and get going. Next hunt on my

702
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: my list was my Montana rifle deer hunt. This is

703
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of always one of those ones I look forward

704
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: to every year. It's always a great fun hunt with

705
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: my family and uh so this one on this one

706
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: we uh the weapon we ended up using the our brothers.

707
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: It's a custom built rifle. I used to be in Washington,

708
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: then went to Utah and now he's ultimately in Texas.

709
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: But we used in our brothers custom built gun and

710
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: seven short action ultramag. So I had that gun kind

711
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: of custom built from Mountain hunts, you know, elk capable,

712
00:35:53,719 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: shoots really well, defiance action, you know, uh, jewel trigger

713
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: proof barrel. And then all three of us ended up

714
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: shooting our deer with that same gun. All one shot,

715
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: one kill, very very minimal meat damage and a lot

716
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: of people are going to be surprised. A lot of

717
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: people don't like the one ady Burgers. But to this day,

718
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: with that gun, I've had very very many, very very

719
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: few animals make it more than ten yards. Most of

720
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: them die on impact, and if they don't, they pile

721
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: up pretty quick. So very happy with how that performed.

722
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: My wife shot her deer at five hundred and eighteen yards,

723
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: hit it perfectly right behind the high point on the shoulder,

724
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: didn't damage hardly any meat. My son shot his buck

725
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: at one hundred and fifteen yards with it, and I

726
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: shot mine at about two eighty all one shot one

727
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: kill and placed very very well one ad Burgers. We

728
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: reload that gun with r L twenty six. One thing.

729
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: We actually we reduce that load in the off season.

730
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: R L twenty six is an alliant powder and it's

731
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: very It's supposed to be temperature stable, but it's as

732
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: crazy as it gets at times. It doesn't like to

733
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: shoot in cold, doesn't like to shoot in the hot.

734
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: We've had pressure signs. But it does give you ultimate performance.

735
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: But we were able to kind of curb those issues

736
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: or kind of make them less of an issue by

737
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: reducing that seating the bowl a little bit farther and

738
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: that gun just shoots lights out. So yeah, we reload

739
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: that one top that gun off. That gun has my

740
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite scope of all time. It's the Loophole

741
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: Mark five five to twenty five by fifty six a

742
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: thirty five millimeters two. That gun has tracked perfectly all

743
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: the time. It dials up where you want it, it drops

744
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: back where you want it. It's easy to get on target.

745
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: It's got a great eyebox, especially for me. It's maybe

746
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: not as big a issue. But for my wife and

747
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: son that are shooting the guns that also have the

748
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: cheek piece set right where it's good for me, they

749
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: can always acquire their target very quickly. And been really

750
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: happy with that scope number one. It's repeatable. Uh number two,

751
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: it's got some great glass in it and never never

752
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: let me down. So I really like that set up.

753
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: That hunt. I don't know if anybody have been in

754
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Montana when it's uh after a snow or a freeze.

755
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: That hunt on a few days pushed my raptor to

756
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: everything that it had, you know, all four and we

757
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: didn't try to tear it up. We were trying to

758
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: sometimes just get turned around, you know, four wheel drive

759
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: differentials locked and you know, traction control off, advanced track off.

760
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: That thing with without a U t V or the

761
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: ability like that got us into some areas, you know,

762
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: even even some of the county roads were a little

763
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: bit sketchy. But that hunt ultimately dried out and it

764
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: became real nice. But yeah, I that one. We also

765
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: used the loophole spotter the and I'm gonna get this wrong,

766
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: the I use all straight. I believe it's the Essex four.

767
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Yeah, SX for spotter from loophold straight.

768
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's a great glass. Let's just sit behind

769
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: it for a long time, and uh, you do all

770
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: the spotting there trying to think if there's any other

771
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: gear on that hunt that we used a little bit differently.

772
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: It did start to get cold on that hunt, so

773
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, you start to I'm I'm a big cis

774
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: when it comes, you know, to to gloves, and so

775
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: I always end up I don't know, I believe there.

776
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: We weren't using the brooks down. We were using the heavier,

777
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: the alpine cold weather glove on this hunt. And then

778
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: there's I think I had the Alpine cold and then

779
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: my wife and son had the grizzly two point zhers.

780
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: Just we we added heavy gloves. We we were in

781
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: our chamberlain a lot more on that. And then this

782
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: is where we start to switch to the kiln series

783
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: from the wick. We start to go to a heavier

784
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: mid layer, and then we started to chain on top.

785
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: Especially when you're doing long glassing sets without a lot

786
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: of movement, movement really kind of seemed to be the answer.

787
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: Trying to see anything else on that rifle hunt that

788
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: we did a little bit different now. I think that's

789
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: about it as far as different gear, you know, same

790
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: thing boots. We were still rocking the Krispy brickstalls. It

791
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't that that twiner grams and insulation kind of kind

792
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: of knocked that edge off when it starts to get cold.

793
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: Everything else is similar those hunts. We we airbnb it

794
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: my wife and kidder along. I want it to be

795
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: enjoyable for them, so and don't get me wrong, I

796
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: like to to have a comfortable camp and be able

797
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: to shower every morning. So I kind of like like

798
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: those ones. And then just we just finished up our

799
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: Kansas archery hunt once again. Our biggest change is our

800
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: weapons kind of going back and then our clothing on

801
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: this one. So I went back to the dart and

802
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Varasity thirty five, same exact arrow setup. Anybody that paid

803
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: attention during Whitetail Week, I did a little blurb on

804
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: the bow I've been using for Whitetail, and I just

805
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: don't change my Western setup. It's it's a monster out here.

806
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't need to shoot any faster. I don't switch

807
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: my broad heads. One thing I did run into a

808
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: little bit of an issue when I went to shoot

809
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: my buck. You know, you get in these blinds, whether

810
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: it's a tree stand, you've kind of got all kinds

811
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: of room. You're in a blind, You've got limitations. You know.

812
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: I'd always draw my bow. Sometimes my elbow would hit.

813
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: And one thing that happened right when I was going

814
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: to shoot my buck this year is I've got that

815
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: ten inch spider stabilizer on it. Sometimes it's hard to

816
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: draw your boat. You know, you got your arrow kind

817
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: of hanging out the windows even to get your bow drawn,

818
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: just so things aren't in the way. And I didn't

819
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: realize my ten inch stabilizer was going to hit off

820
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: of the windowsill the inside. And so next year I

821
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: may look at before I go to whitetail hunt, coming

822
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: up with a different stabilizer system, you know that maybe

823
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: has more weight but on a shorter bar, something to

824
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: that effect, to prevent, you know, any of that from happening.

825
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: I've never felt cold enough yet that I couldn't draw

826
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: my boat back. You know, even when I do get chilli,

827
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: I I kind of practice make sure I get my

828
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: boat back, and I haven't had any issues yet. So

829
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: knock on wood that that nothing all happen there So

830
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: clothing changes up a lot when I'm not Western hunting,

831
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: when I can't get up and walk and go to

832
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: to warm myself up or or you know, create some

833
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: of my own heat you're stuck in a tree stand.

834
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: So one thing that I did this year, you know,

835
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: last year it was really really cold and I kind

836
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: of barely just got buy on my Solitude set up.

837
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: So this year the Solitude kit worked great. You know

838
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: in that forties I would say forties, the thirties on

839
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: that one, I would put my Kiln hoodie on on

840
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: the bass layer. I would wear my Source jacket over it,

841
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: and then I would play with zipping or unzipping or

842
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: walking to my stand without my Solitude coat on. But

843
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: then I'd have my Solitude bibs on for the majority

844
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: of the hunt. One thing I also change up all

845
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: my white toe hunts is my boot system. Those those

846
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: crispy mountain boots. Even two hundred grams installations just aren't

847
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna cut it. So I've got some lacrosse. I can't

848
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: even I believe there are sixteen one hundred grams and insulation.

849
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: And let me, I'm actually searching Google right here while

850
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at it. I believe they're the Alpha

851
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: Burley pros that are in Yeah, Alpha Burley Pro sixteen

852
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: hundred grams in first light cipher. I believe, so where

853
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: those and I also just wore my darn tuffs in

854
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: those and they seem to be enough to get me

855
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: through those thirty to forty degree days. Yeah, I mean

856
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: we used We used quite a few Summit tree stands.

857
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: We used a lot of Millennium tree stands. You know

858
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: a lot of these are already set up on the hunt.

859
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: My buddy Randy that owns the proper, but he's also

860
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: got some red neck blind set up. You know, we're

861
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: using Summit harnesses, safety harnesses on those hunts. We did

862
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: add to Dave Smith decoy. I don't know it's one

863
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: of the bucks. I don't know if it's like a

864
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact name of it, but uh,

865
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: it worked on a couple sites. We've had some bucks

866
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: coming bristled up. But there are times where you know,

867
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: maybe some smaller deer, some dozeddn't necessarily like it when

868
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: they kind of show up out of the blue. So

869
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: it worked on the bucks that it was meant to

870
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: work on, but kind of you know, was a little

871
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: suspect to some of the gear that didn't want to

872
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: see that buck that close to the stands. But uh yeah,

873
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: Dirk had some better success with it than I did,

874
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: and and some bucks that really committed to that thing. Yeah.

875
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: Other than that, that's kind of the gear we used.

876
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: We don't get too crazy, too fancy with our gears.

877
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: Kind of the same stuff year after year. There's not

878
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot of major changes that I want to make

879
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: to my gear. I'm I'm I try to put more

880
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: attention on the on the hunting better and different than

881
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: I do and my gear. So that's really what we've got.

882
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, the calls on that white to hunt, I

883
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: guess we need to talk about that a little bit.

884
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: I used the beta as well, but we also tested

885
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: some new calls. You know, we've got some new calls

886
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: coming out for twenty four with some pretty cool features.

887
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: You know. We also got to test our rattling bag,

888
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: which seemed to at times have gear running by us.

889
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: So the rattle and bag worked really well. But yeah,

890
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: that was what we used in Kansas. That's kind of

891
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: what I used for all of twenty three and if

892
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: twenty four seasons. Started tomorrow. I wouldn't hesitate to go

893
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: right back out in the field with it. There was

894
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: no gear that I used that I thought really really

895
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: failed me or that I wanted something better. So yeah,

896
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: thanks for listening, cutting the distance. That was my gear

897
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: for twenty three. Feel free to send us an email

898
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: to CTD at Phelps game Calls dot com if there's

899
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: any gear you want opinions on or like us to

900
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: test out or take a look at. I'm always interested

901
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: in what's new and what's out there and maybe something

902
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: that we're overlooking. But I appreciate y'all. Good luck if

903
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: you have any Fall hunts left, and we'll catch you

904
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: on the next episode.
