1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: And sure enough we turn around and as we turn around,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: cow elk on the backside of that finger ridge, cow elk,

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: cow elk, And I take my binoes up and I'm like,

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: that's a legal bull.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, Curtis, give me range whatever.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: So I grabbed my tripod and in the moment I'm

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: like kind of start fumbling with.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: The clips and I was like, calm down.

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: So I calmed down, slow, get them, get everything out,

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: put the gun in there.

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: He gives me the range.

12
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: I look at the MOA or he may read out

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: the MOA, and then we subtracted the percentages we thought

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: and I get on him and I'm like, is he

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: the one in the back?

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: He goes what And I.

17
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Just shot And as soon as I shot it, he

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: just stopped and did that kind of like thing in

19
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: Idaho where he was like he was done, and.

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: Curtis is like another one.

21
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: So I didn't want to take the chance, and so

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: he was like four hundred and sixty yards I think

23
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: that is what.

24
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: He was out here.

25
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: The stakes are real effective preparations starts with fittings, but

26
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: it requires so much more. This show explores the tools, knowledge, resilience,

27
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and skills needed to be ready when it matters the most.

Speaker 2: I don't I always tell people, hey, call it whatever.

53
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: It's been called a buffalo for so long that you

54
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: can just kind of use it's interchangeable.

55
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: So, uh, we got.

Speaker 2: You I haven't seen you in like three weeks.

64
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: We we like rode out and the captain got a

65
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 5: call while we're going out to the fishing spot he's

66
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 5: gonna take us to. He said, Hey, my buddy just

67
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: called me. There's a school redfish in this hole that

68
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 5: I go to sometimes hit or miss. He's out there

69
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: like an hour ago. You guys want to try it,

70
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: and we're like, sure, let's try it. And we got there.

71
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 5: It's there's no action for twenty minutes and then like

72
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: just like that, me and my brother both hit and

73
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 5: we both reel in like a good sized red fish.

74
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: There's like a certain right now.

75
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: There's a keep a certain size.

76
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: It's it has to be a certain length and under

77
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 5: a certain length. So it's like there's a window because

78
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: like their adolescents or readers somewhere in between there, and

79
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: so we caught when they were something that were too big. Anyways,

80
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: long story short, we caught like thirty kill yeah. I

81
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: mean it was like two and a half hours of

82
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 5: NonStop just like and like pretty much you throw it

83
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: out there and as soon as it's water, if they

84
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 5: don't get it, and you might as well reel it

85
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: in and try again because as soon as they see

86
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: it that they go to it. So we ended up

87
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: we caught our limit of redfish and trout, and I

88
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 5: caught I.

89
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: Caught a catfish actually too.

90
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then uh no, catfish they're they're they're pretty nasty.

91
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: As what we said, I've never had a saltwater catfish.

92
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 6: Whether or not that to say, I didn't know there was.

93
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: They're not as good as catfish run here. So we

94
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: caught a bunch of fish. It was like probably one

95
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: of the best days of fishing I've ever had. And

96
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: then we cooked it all up Boco, Grand Florida. The

97
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: it's usually oh no, that's not the best part that happened. Sorry,

98
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 5: there's actually a really something really cool happened. So like

99
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: both Grand is like the tarpain capital of Florida. So

100
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 5: there's there's just there's a huge bay and during i

101
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 5: think during the late spring, there's it's pretty much called

102
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: like Tarpin Bay, Like you go out there in w tarpinfish.

103
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 5: I caught like a two hundred and fifty pound tarpain

104
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 5: out there, which is I think like the world records

105
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: around to eighty or three hundred. So it's like it's

106
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 5: it's one of the biggest tarpin that they've ever seen.

107
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 5: And so that night we got down on the fishing

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: trip and the captain's like, well, yeah, you can fish

109
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 5: for tarp and just off the beach if you want to.

110
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: My dad brought like all his fishing gear. He has

111
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: a pretty heavy due.

112
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 5: Rod, and so we cast net out uh and just

113
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: catch some lady fish. You know, they're like eight inches long,

114
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 5: they're like little fish. Use it as bait, live bait.

115
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: We hook it on a big hook and we toss it.

116
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 5: We toss it out there and nothing for a little while.

117
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: My brother and my dad's like, hey, you guys, go

118
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: look for some more bay like this. That they get

119
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: the bait gets pretty dead. They die because they're on

120
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 5: a hook and they're like they're not moving right, So

121
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 5: every now and then we have to catch more bait. Anyways,

122
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 5: one time, same thing, like I said, he throws his

123
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: ladyfish out there, hits the water, and this tarpin freaking

124
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 5: just grabs onto it. We don't know what it is

125
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: because we're kind of fishing for sharks. Really grabs the

126
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 5: ladyfish and my dad starts fighting it and we just

127
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: see this tarp and they're like, you know, they're silver,

128
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 5: They're like totally silver.

129
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: Jumps out of the water and flops.

130
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: We're like, holy shit, you caught a tarp and he

131
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 5: just like keeps frieling in really in and uh, I

132
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: mean it's like fighting him good. And he gets it

133
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: on the beach and it basically breaks off right at

134
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: the wave where the waves are crashing and it kind

135
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: of falls back in. But we got a good look

136
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: at it, like it was a good sized tarp and

137
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 5: it was. It was pretty crazy. None of us expected it. Yeah,

138
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: about two and a half three feet. It's maybe a

139
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 5: little short than that, like three feet.

140
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 4: So yeah, we had a great fishing the Tuna Club.

141
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was that was probably the coolest part, just

142
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: like just like throwing something off the beach. It was

143
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: like it was like ten o'clock at night where it's

144
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: out there fishing, and then we end up staying out

145
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: there pretty late.

146
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: You got a whisper.

147
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: We ended up staying out there pretty late because I

148
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 5: mean we were just catching a lot of fishes, a

149
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: lot of fish to be caught. So no, it was

150
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 5: some of the best fishing I've ever been a part of.

151
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 6: Actually it was cool. Tarp and just tuna.

152
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

153
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 5: No tarpans like this. It's like, I mean, it's it

154
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 5: looks like gosh. The best way to explain is it's

155
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 5: like a It's like a huge bass. The only way

156
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 5: the reason I say that is because their mouths are

157
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: are like real bony and they open up really wide,

158
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: so like when you hold it up, it doesn't that

159
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 5: looks nothing like a bass, I guess, but like if

160
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: the the jaw is similar. Because of that, it's just

161
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: a big bony jaw and it's just a long silver fish.

162
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 5: Like I don't know how to explain it.

163
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: How's silver experienced great fishing success? You guys got to

164
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: experience the great out hunting success. I got sick for

165
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: the last three hours of well, I was sick the

166
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 3: whole hunt.

167
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Yeah you started, I missed the last and you're like,

168
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: oh no, no, I'm not sick.

169
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: And then they let me back up. All right.

170
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: So we got there. We left on Thursday, got there

171
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Thursday night.

172
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: Yep.

173
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: So we could scout Friday.

174
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: So we could scout Friday. We've never ever scouted before

175
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: in our lives. We always just show up the day

176
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: of and hunt.

177
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: Well.

178
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: I think there is a ton of merit to scouting.

179
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: It did no good for us.

180
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 3: No, because we found we found herds in every spot

181
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: we went to. Actually, one of the one of the

182
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: bulls we did find on Friday did get killed during

183
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: the trip.

184
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

185
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 3: But the other herd that we found that you wanted

186
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: to hunt that bull never saw them again. They never

187
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: did that.

188
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: Again, never did it again. Yeah.

189
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: So we the morning, first morning, we went to low

190
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Low spot on the property. We hunted way down at

191
00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: the bottom. We saw pretty good bull, a five at

192
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: sure it's the one that my uncle ended up killing.

193
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: Well, the funny thing is we're watching all these whole herd,

194
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: which we had a we think had a mule deer bike.

195
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: There were two We're all staring at this and then

196
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: all of a sudden.

197
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: I turned around. I turned around like.

198
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: Three to fifty yards behind us. We're having a full conversation. Yeah,

199
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: and we're just all I've got cameras. Y.

200
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 4: This works.

201
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: There's like five or six kind of big draws that

202
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: we can hunt, and all the way off to the

203
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: far end. I almost call it like the wall, Like

204
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: there's a wall on the one side that we can hunt,

205
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and there's just elk pouring in, pouring in, pouring in,

206
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and we're just watching them. There's one what we thought

207
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: was one shooter bull. We didn't even like press up

208
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: on them. We didn't want to booger them up too much.

209
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: That morning, we were like, we got eyes on them,

210
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: we know they're.

211
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Here, they're down here, let's, you know, check it out.

212
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: And like Scott said, we were just sitting there looking

213
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: at them, and then all of a sudden, I just

214
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of like went to stretch and.

215
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: Turn, and sure enough, Clere's a bull.

216
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he was like five. He was five

217
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: hundred from where we were at.

218
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: And then me and my uncle got up and kind

219
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: of went up on one of the fingers just to

220
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: get a good look at him, and there were more

221
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: elk in this this finger by.

222
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: A huge fence post. You could just say, you.

223
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Get your gun on there, get your range, which later

224
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: on we realize, if you're gonna hunt altitude, make sure

225
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: you do your calculations for altitude.

226
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: Because once you're up there, it's a little bit different.

227
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: So that was Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon or Friday morning,

228
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, Me, you and Watkins did our hike up

229
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: to what we call hell Hole. It was all the

230
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: way up to the top. We probably gained fifteen hundred feet,

231
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I would guess, or more.

232
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked on an ax it was something like that.

233
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifteen hundred feet and it was a it's cool

234
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: is this is way up on the backside, so it's

235
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: up about ten thousand feet on the tallest part of it,

236
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: and then it there's a nice big saddle between two

237
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of finger ridges and there's a wallow right at

238
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: the top of it that they've hit. When Ben went

239
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: with us a couple of years ago, we sat it.

240
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: It's the longest we've ember sat in the woods and

241
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: never seen anything. And that's where all the action was

242
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: this time. But it was three twenty or three twenty something.

243
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: We're just sitting up on this ridge glass and kind

244
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: of looking. We can see for miles on this spot.

245
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: It's it's beautiful, beautiful view. But you there's just you

246
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: can see a ton of country. You can see down

247
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: into some of those finger ridges that we were talking

248
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: about that we hunt in the bottom. You can't quite

249
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: see the very bottom of those finger ridges, but you

250
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: can see the top. And so we just thought it

251
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: was a good place of glass. Well, sure enough we

252
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: turn around and come right comes out of the the

253
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: one high side behind us what eight to ten cows

254
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: four a nice cool shooter buoys a five by but

255
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: he underneath his fourth and fifth on his right side,

256
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: he had a.

257
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: It was almost a full point. It looked like from

258
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: four hundred yards.

259
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: With the binos of those sig binos are incredible, it

260
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: looked like almost a full point.

261
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: So we'd been a five by six. He's a cool

262
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: bull and dude. They just hung out there.

263
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: We we end up leaving at five fifteen or five

264
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: twenty because we just didn't want to mess with him. Yeah,

265
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: and at some point ten fifteen twenty more elk pop

266
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: out of there and and so they you know, we

267
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: we ended up leaving so we didn't mess them up, and.

268
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 3: They worked to within like one hundred yards of us.

269
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: And then the crazy thing is that heard was out

270
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: in standing in the sun or it's like cloud cover,

271
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: but on and off sun for an hour and a

272
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: half two hours.

273
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we left them. They didn't even leave. They

274
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: were still out there. When we left.

275
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: We ducked down the ridge and took off to where

276
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: we didn't mess anything up. So that was Walkin's kind

277
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: of first day of elk hunting. Fitness wise, looking around wise,

278
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: what did you you know on that first day?

279
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: What were your initial thoughts?

280
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 6: So when we left the cabin to go up that

281
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 6: one the first spot were just straight up just that

282
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: first in clowns like, oh man, this sucks.

283
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the very beginning is almost the worst part.

284
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's the worst part. Yeah, thought, heart rates

285
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 6: up and we just stopped, and of course we get

286
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: to that one little section, We're just like, oh, do

287
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 6: we go left, do we go ride? Do we go

288
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 6: straight up? And we made that backtrack. I was like,

289
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 6: oh man, like I don't know about this, and then

290
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 6: you guys took off.

291
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

292
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 6: I was like well, here we go, pray it works.

293
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 6: But the whole my whole time hocking that part was

294
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 6: I don't think it was a stepper where I did

295
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 6: so much stepper. It's like I wish I did more

296
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 6: sled pushes, but more importantly sled drags.

297
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: For your quads, like reverse sled drags backwards.

298
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 6: No, so you know where we just put like the

299
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 6: I wish I did this so much more. I think

300
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 6: that'd be and lower back, Yeah, like my lower back

301
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 6: never really got tied with that.

302
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: That climb to me, isn't super steep. There's some like

303
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: pitchy stuff in there where it's like the very beginning

304
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: of steep, and then it's.

305
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: Just just said.

306
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: You know what sucked was that first day I'm like, oh,

307
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: hell yeah, we got this. This is this isn't bad.

308
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: It was day two dawod the tripod and the rifle

309
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: adding an extra twenty five pounds.

310
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: Was miserable and it was hot.

311
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: It was me, Curtis, I just wore you start doing

312
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: the thing where you're all pushing each other faster than

313
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: you need to.

314
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, when somebody's walking beside you, you think you're walking slow.

315
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't sick. Yet and hadn't said it, and.

316
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: So we just hammered this hill. So then imagine walking

317
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: from the cabin straight up to hell Hole. There's a

318
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: trail up there now and it's just beautiful.

319
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Oh it's awesome.

320
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, you get to that one section where it just

321
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 6: looks like you're in like a cast.

322
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was cool.

323
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Walkings is great. He uh you know, me

324
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: and Scott we only stopped once, right.

325
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we stopped one time for five six minutes.

326
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: Mabe versus when we stopped for Billings and d Lane. Yeah.

327
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: I mean this is like a whole ordeal too, where

328
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: you wear something that as soon as you get there

329
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: you take it off because you sweat through the entire shirt.

330
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

331
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: I think I talked to you guys into wearing T

332
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: shirt because at first, you guys, we're gonna.

333
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: Wear long sleeve, right, No, he was, I was, You're

334
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: still wearing the long sleep.

335
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: The first day, a T shirt second day, but I

336
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 3: brought layers. I was just gonna ditch.

337
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: I just wore my orange vest on the second climb. Yeah,

338
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: but I didn't start all orange orange.

339
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: Best.

340
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 6: That was good, to make that clear. I didn't stop

341
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 6: at all.

342
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: Oh, you didn't. You just kept kept trudging. Yeah. So

343
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: we got up there pretty quick. It was like forty

344
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: something minutes I think.

345
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got down quick too.

346
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: We bailed out and came down.

347
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: It felt good after the scouting, I mean, yeah, we

348
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: saw elk every single place we went. We identified bowls

349
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: every single place we went because uh, you your uncle Matt.

350
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: We had three bulltags in camp. Jim oh, he did. Technically,

351
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: he wasn't really hunting for a bull though he were.

352
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: He mostly wanted a mule deer buck.

353
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Yep.

354
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: So we did have four bulltags in camp, but really

355
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: really he didn't care about his. He wanted a buck. Yeah.

356
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: And so we identified enough to where we could split

357
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: up the.

358
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: Next day and all go our own.

359
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, try to make a move.

360
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the next morning we all went down to

361
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: the bottom.

362
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: At that point, Curtis was there, so me and you,

363
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Curtis and Jimmy kind of hunted together.

364
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: You got paired up with Billings and bill that morning.

365
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went down to the bottom. We separated and

366
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: went to that far heard thinking we can maybe find them.

367
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: They never quite wanted to cooperate, and we don't even

368
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: do we see a bull in there. No, we never

369
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: split a second. Maybe we might have.

370
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: He was pretty high up and there was no way

371
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: we could get to him. He was off our what

372
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: we were allowed to hunt. We could hunt some blm

373
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: and some private but he was on the neighbor's property,

374
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,239
Speaker 1: so we couldn't couldn't quite get to him.

375
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: That day was fine. That was when we took when

376
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 6: you glassed over and seen me Bill and Hill.

377
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: The only bluff on the place.

378
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: My sixty five year uncle has his walking stick, and

379
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: I look and Matt's coming around, Watkins is coming around,

380
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: and then sure enough Bill comes walking around with his

381
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: walking stick a foot off the edge of this bluff,

382
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: the only bluff on the property, thinking what is Matt doing? Yeah,

383
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: taking my uncle on that. So you guys, we we

384
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: got to that farest. That was the time we were

385
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: starting walking back down the trail and the calf a

386
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: cow and then a shooter I legal bull ran right by,

387
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: and uh, we couldn't quite Jimmy couldn't quite get a

388
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: shot on it. And but we had a pretty close encounter.

389
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: It was like four hundred.

390
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 6: The weird thing was every time if you've seen a

391
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 6: good mule deer, then here comes a cow and here

392
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 6: comes a bull, and our situation it was anyways, well

393
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: just like movie was up on that hell ho, remember

394
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 6: we saw that mule deer first, and then the cows come,

395
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: and then the bulls came.

396
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: Oh we saw yeah, we saw yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

397
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: we saw a ton of mual deer this trip.

398
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: I didn't never had a mule deer tag and never

399
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: really had the itched mule deer hunt. But now after

400
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: this trip, they were everywhere, were everywhere, so stupid though.

401
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they prance around and the does are oblivious to anything.

402
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: We were that last night. How far are we like

403
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: twenty yards from.

404
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: Him for ten fift ill peak sickness?

405
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that morning we just walked around a little bit.

406
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: You guys didn't really get on anything that morning either,

407
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: did you.

408
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 6: Huh? The first Saturday, Yeah, so that was the day.

409
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 6: That was the day that me Bill, Oh.

410
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: You guys tried to close in.

411
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, we tried to.

412
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: Couldn't quite get there.

413
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 6: I think the furthest the closest that we got was

414
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 6: like sick something. Of course Bill.

415
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: Bill couldn't was that on the bull or on the cows?

416
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 6: That was so that was the one day he got

417
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: Sunday exact same one, had to do same one.

418
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: He was in the same same drainage. That afternoon.

419
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: We sat up topiked up top, sat up top till dark.

420
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: Really there nothing came out there.

421
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: We had that far out of the far seven yards,

422
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: so I ended up taking a shot on one from

423
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: seven hundred yards. I felt super comfortable with that rifle.

424
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Shot really well. What we did not account for was altitude.

425
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: So we sighted the gun in at fifteen hundred feet

426
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: and we were up ten thousand. So when I looked

427
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: it up, you about a one percent of moa per

428
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: one hundred feet of elevation game for thousand feet of

429
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: elevation game, and.

430
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 3: So we were up what nine thousand from almost ten thousand?

431
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, or sorry, yeah, up nine thousand from We

432
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: sighted it in, so shot high.

433
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: Curtis gave me the shot high.

434
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Thought maybe it was just me shot high again, So

435
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: then I tried to compensate and shoot under.

436
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: And when I shot on the video.

437
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is we couldn't see at this point.

438
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 3: We couldn't see the video well enough correct, So we

439
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: just saw them storm off and so you and I

440
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: have to go down what a few hundred feet back

441
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: up a few hundred feet.

442
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: Over seven hundred yards to check and make sure we

443
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: found nothing.

444
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: No blood, no nothing.

445
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: And at this point though we're still all we have

446
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: is the little camera screen to go off of us.

447
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: So we didn't know until we got to the big

448
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: screen what had happened. But then we saw that.

449
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: When we saw the big screen.

450
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how this thing it wasn't a head

451
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: shot because the way I compensated, I went down to

452
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: about it's knee maybe and shot and the way it

453
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: was looking, the bullet had to have gone right over it.

454
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: You've maybe seen the video better since I haven't, but

455
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how it.

456
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: It was cool because you can see the vapor trail. Yeah,

457
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: so you see the first one miss. Your correction was

458
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: actually almost correct, like perfect, And somehow it it scared

459
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: that bull so bad a headache because he's looking the

460
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 3: other way and he just sees a hill blow up

461
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: right behind him. He probably felt that bullet was by

462
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: his head.

463
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we couldn't couldn't, couldn't clue. We didn't hunt

464
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: the rest of that evening because.

465
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: Well, by the time we looked for him, it was dark. Yeah.

466
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 6: Chance, so when they all.

467
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: Almost get down.

468
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 6: I'm just like, wow, we don't need to get down.

469
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: There's just like twenty yards in front of us. If

470
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 6: we get down, I thought they're just gonna run us over.

471
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

472
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 6: Wild is sound going through the woods.

473
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: It's crazy crashing horses.

474
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys were on the far side of the

475
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: up We were up above you guys, and they came

476
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: running down.

477
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Come run down the hill.

478
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: So next morning we all went back to the bottom.

479
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: We didn't see it or hear anything, right, No, And

480
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: then Jimmy decided to go after that cow.

481
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. We me, you, Curtis, Jimmy were sitting together. Yep,

482
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: there's a cow just standing out in the field wide

483
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: over a meadow. Yeah, and so okay, you should go

484
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: because he had a cow tag, a buck tag, and a.

485
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: Bullt old tag, and so we talked him into it.

486
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 3: Him and Curtis went after that. You and I just

487
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: went and walked around.

488
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: We went and just checked out. We went on a

489
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: little Scott and rich uh ye.

490
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: Then I think for context, Ashton spotting your uncle's bull. Yeah,

491
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: And then he was like, so, for context, how many

492
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: years has your uncle been trying to get a bull?

493
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: I think he said he's Ashton is the one that saw,

494
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: which is even funnier. I forgot how many hunts he's

495
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: been on, but for thirteen years, I think he's.

496
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: Tried to get a bull. He's never gotten a bull.

497
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: He's got several cows. So Harrison, my oldest cousin, and

498
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: Ashton get in Saturday night. Yeah, Saturday night.

499
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 3: No, Saturday, yeah, Saturday day night.

500
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so they do some scouting. They kind of

501
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: you know, find some stuff up and around the cabin.

502
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: And then so that next morning we're trying to figure

503
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: out what we're gonna do. We all end up going

504
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the property. Bill, Ashton, Harrison all

505
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of divide up. Billings and Watkins divide up, and

506
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: then us three or four divide up. So we were

507
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: on this cow. Jimmy ends up shooting this cow well

508
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: in the process. And so Harrison is a pretty good

509
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: outdoorsman and a hunter like loves to hunt, hunts a

510
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: lot of white tail. I think he's been on a

511
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: couple of elkhons with Bill. Ashton does not hunt, but

512
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: he likes being outside, likes adventure, and apparently has a

513
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: really good eye for elk. Dude can spot him out

514
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: of nowhere. So has a little bit of add adhd

515
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and can't sit still.

516
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: So even when he was with us after this, he

517
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: would be like, Hey, I'm gonna go look up on

518
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: this hill and i'll you know, maybe you know, show

519
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: you guys with my hat if I see anything, because

520
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: he had an orange hat, and so I guess at

521
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: some point he split off from Bill and Harrison and

522
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: then somehow found this bull. This bull bedded up right

523
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: in front of him. He's kind of looking at this

524
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: bull and all of a sudden he beds down. So

525
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: he comes back, gets Harrison and Ashton or Harrison and Bill.

526
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: They get into position and I think it was like

527
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: a three hundred and fifty yard shot and they end

528
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: up killing this bull. So, man, that was awesome to

529
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: see Bill, the reaction from him killing that thing. You

530
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: guys got to walk up before I got to get

531
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: there because we were on the cow duty. We got

532
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy's cow. He ended up shooting it across a valley

533
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: and we found it and got in there. It was heavy, nasty.

534
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: That was some of the thickest oak brush. I don't

535
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: even know, you know it what was crazy was. I

536
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: was watching this thing the whole time while Jimmy and

537
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: Curtis tried to close the distance on it, and it

538
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: literally just kind of feeds around and then beds down,

539
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: and then the way the sun goes, you can't see

540
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: it anymore.

541
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: It's just gone.

542
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can disappear. That stuff disappeared so quickly, and

543
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: you knew that the cow was still. I knew it

544
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: was there, and so once I knew what to look for,

545
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: once I saw it, you could like catch a glimpse

546
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: of it facing because it was bed at downhill.

547
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: It was so weird, so crazy.

548
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: So we get that day we had cow down and

549
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: then Bill got his bull, and what we could do

550
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: is we just drugged that thing down to the main

551
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: trail and we got a truck up there and lifted

552
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing in the back of the truck.

553
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 2: Uh, cow and cow.

554
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: And so that afternoon we went back up to our spot,

555
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: sat there for a while, and then once it got

556
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: to like five o'clock, we decided to, hey, let's hit

557
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: the bottom. There had been some action the previous night

558
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: in a wallow kind of right across one of the

559
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: main drainages. We hunted and there was a ton of

560
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: action that night before, so we thought, and that morning

561
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: I guess.

562
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 3: I can't remember, and we weren't seeing anything.

563
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: We weren't seeing anything. There was no movement, no nothing.

564
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: We probably scared everything off the hill the night before,

565
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: and so we made a mad day got down there,

566
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: and sure enough.

567
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: There was a bull in that wallow.

568
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: So we tried to get in position and he was

569
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: already kind of working his way up to either bed

570
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: or feet or we were just behind him. This is

571
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: when Scott slowly started to This.

572
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: Is when the sickness was rapidly taking hold, I would say.

573
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: And that's when you guys were way down at the

574
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: bottom again and you had your bull come out from

575
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: one thousand yards right at dark.

576
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 6: Said the cos I was, I couldn't go back out

577
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 6: there after what thirty something hours?

578
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: I don't want to go.

579
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 3: Well, this is a good actually this is good, so

580
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: Watkins said. Physically he was fine, but mentally I was.

581
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: You were like, I can one more day of the spot?

582
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

583
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: Not that spot. It was just glassing that long for

584
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 6: not just like a few hours, It was that the

585
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: whole day, the fifteen hours, and we just like to

586
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 6: go back there.

587
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and Matt decided to just stay down there, stay.

588
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: There the whole time, and then the next day the

589
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 6: whole time I was like, I can't, I can't go

590
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 6: back up.

591
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: Do you think it was harder to for you? Then

592
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: it was harder to like sit on the glass and

593
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: stay focused on this one spot then have to like

594
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred feet up.

595
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 2: Yes.

596
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

597
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 6: God just wanted to stay moving because that is what

598
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 6: I was I've been doing for so long getting ready

599
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 6: for it. I just wanted to stay moving and then

600
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 6: just sitting still and with the billains. Don't get me wrong,

601
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 6: it was a blast. Every fifteen minutes we was cutting up,

602
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 6: but I just wanted.

603
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: To move, new spot move. Yeah, yeah, you.

604
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 6: Had a new spot because you like, we looked at

605
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 6: this area, then this area, then this area. But it's

606
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 6: just like you can only do that so much before

607
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 6: you just kind of go stir crazy.

608
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't do. I mean we sat some. It

609
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: was physical to get to where we were going originally,

610
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: but then we would sit for maybe an hour or

611
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: two up at the top. But yeah, we kind of

612
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: got burnt out on that spot too. In the afternoon,

613
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: so we were we had made the decision we weren't

614
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: going back there. Yeah, so I'm trying to think this

615
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: would have been second till last morning.

616
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: Well, we saw that, we saw that hurd of there

617
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: that night, so we were like, hey, let's just go

618
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 3: back there in the morning.

619
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: And sure enough, we got above that wall though, thinking

620
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: we could get in to it, and then in that

621
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: process we got a little too close. I thought the

622
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: wind was perfect, but I guess it switched or the

623
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: way that.

624
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: Whole drainage works.

625
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: They winded us and busted out of there. So we

626
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: never quite got a good eye of them. But apparently,

627
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, looking at them through glass there, it was

628
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 1: a really good bull in there, and we saw him

629
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: kind of go up on the other side of the road.

630
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: So for the rest of the day we just tried

631
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: to kind of get back on them.

632
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: We never did see that bull again.

633
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I did. I don't know.

634
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of bucks working through timber at

635
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: different spots. We would, you know, the drainage it was,

636
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of hot, high and tall on one side,

637
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: and so we'd get on the other one and try

638
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: to glass into it and just change our perspective. And

639
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: we saw a ton of cows. I ended up seeing

640
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: another bull later, but he was moving on. There was

641
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: really no reason for him to be moving on, but

642
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: he just did not. They're super skittish at that point.

643
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean they've been hunted for a while. But yeah,

644
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: we just spent that whole day just glassing and moving,

645
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: glassing and moving, and decided to try to get back

646
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: to that wallow, thinking maybe something would come back in there.

647
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: And it's the first time ever it's dark, and they're

648
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: starting to get dark and there's nothing going on. I mean,

649
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: we can't really see anything. Scott is literally just laying

650
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: full every layer he has on, has his hood.

651
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: On, nit I don't really get cold either, no.

652
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: Nit hat, and he's just laying there shivering like you

653
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: can just see him every once in a while, like

654
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: doing this randomly, snoring, falling asleep, and I'm just sitting

655
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: there glassing and then finally it's like last a little

656
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: bit of light and I'm like, let's get him back

657
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: to camp, and Scott at no point said no, let's stay.

658
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: He was like okay, And so we end up when

659
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: we got.

660
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: Back, well what happened. I kind of planned for us

661
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: to like switch spots in the middle of the day,

662
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: which I didn't plan well, but I had been alternating

663
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: between musinax and I have a profen to try to

664
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 3: control my fever. Well, I had no medicine since like

665
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: eight am this day because we stayed out the whole day,

666
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: and so by the time I got back to camp,

667
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: I'm trying to pour whatever it was. Either I would

668
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: proferm USINEX. I'm trying to give myself these pills and

669
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm shaking so bad I can hardly even get it

670
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: into my hand to take it. So I would then

671
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: try to take these showers that are like thirty five

672
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: minutes long to get my body back of the temperature.

673
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: I've never I've not felt that bad in three years.

674
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 6: We took that melon. That was pretty epic.

675
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill was just snored the whole time.

676
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 6: He just just woke up.

677
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: And maybe ten minutes after he laid down, you hear

678
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: him go like he had like one of those falling dreams.

679
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: Oh, it was so good.

680
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: The thing that propelled me on the Wyoming hunt when

681
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: I got sick on this hunt is I I always

682
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: I always told every single day I was like didn't

683
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: want to be out there trying to film do whatever.

684
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: I knew. I knew the second I called it quits

685
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: for the shortest amount of time, you were gonna kill something.

686
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: And not only did I want to be part of

687
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: the experience from like a like a personal level, Yeah, yeah,

688
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: but you, but I wanted to like finish the project

689
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: properly and like have the video wrap up well. Yep,

690
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: And sure enough I spent about four hours in the middle.

691
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: It's going to wrap up real well with me and Curtis.

692
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

693
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: Video.

694
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: I spent about four hours the middle of that night

695
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: with my long John's, my sweatshirt pulled hood over my head,

696
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: five blankets, shivering, just awake in bed, just shivering uncontrollably.

697
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: And so your alarm went off. You're like, Scott, you're

698
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: feeling okay, how you feeling or whatever. I'm like, I'm

699
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: I'm worse.

700
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: So the plan was we were we had to be

701
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: in we had to be back in Nashville for a

702
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: flight to Scotland Wednesday night. So in my head I'm thinking, oh,

703
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: we'll wait till Wednesday morning and fly out early Wednesday morning.

704
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: And I slowly like I'll check in the home and

705
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: like check the temperature, and I could slowly tell that

706
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: that was not gonna fly to show up on Wednesday

707
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: and have yeah, and have Hillary bring all three kids

708
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: in my bag. So I'd made the executive decision to

709
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: fly out Tuesday night at seven fifteen yep, and we

710
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: had about a four hour drive three and a half

711
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: four hours drive. So I knew, all right, the last

712
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: morning it's gonna be our full morning. We had to

713
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: we needed to leave by one o'clock at the latest.

714
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you never know what's gonna happen going through

715
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: the past.

716
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so we.

717
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: Make the executive decision book a flight, and we're like,

718
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: all right, we have to be you know, be done

719
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: hunting probably by eleven forty five twelve maybe depending how

720
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: far we are from camp. And so that morning, alarm

721
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: goes off and I'm like, Scott, how are you feeling, buddy?

722
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: He goes I've been shivering for the last four hours

723
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: and I've got long John's on sweatpants and I stole

724
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Ashton's blanket.

725
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, Scott, won't.

726
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: You just I was like, you're gonna have to cause

727
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: I thought I really was worried I was gonna hold

728
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: you back to where like you had to go after

729
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: a bowl and I'm just freaking dead on the side

730
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: of a mountain.

731
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

732
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: And so when it was the coldest day, the cold

733
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 3: it had been temperature.

734
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: Baby thirties, mid low thirties. There was a couple of

735
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: frost round mornings, and then it would warm up to

736
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: like probably forty five fifty. Yeah, first couple days was

737
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: warmer than that, but the wind was killer.

738
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so and I knew that it being colder,

739
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: I was screwed. And the crazy thing is too, is

740
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: like I would say, typically I'm the warmest in the group, like.

741
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: Me and you were still Yeah, do you cat maybe

742
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: a little bit warmer in the cold, Yeah, do not

743
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: get cold when I'm moving, I'm probably just as hot.

744
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: As soon as I was like cold the night before,

745
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: I knew there was gonna be no help in myself

746
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: the next day.

747
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: So me Curtis split off from Billings and Watkins. I

748
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: think everybody had kind of left at that point. Jimmy,

749
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy wasn't honting. He'd killed his Mealdier the night before

750
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: without any of us. We'd seen a bunch of good

751
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Mualier and he ended up staying down low and busting

752
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: one Ashton Harrison Bill had left the night before tagged out,

753
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: so it's it's just basically the four of us really

754
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: going out. So Me and Curtis decide that we're going

755
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: to go to the spot that we saw the bulls

756
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, the to Hell Hole up at the

757
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: top of the mountain. And so you guys stayed kind

758
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: of mid middle of the hill, yeah, and low, and

759
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: then end up coming up high. So Me and Curtis

760
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: decide to kind of still hunt this road right as

761
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: the sun's coming up and then try to be at

762
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: hell Hole at the wallow mid you know, like probably

763
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: thirty forty five minutes after daylight, thinking maybe we catch

764
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: something getting some water before it goes to bed or

765
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: back into the timbers.

766
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: So we slow hunt.

767
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: We heard something bust. I think it was a mule

768
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: deer right before dark as we were we probably started

769
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: like a touch too soon. But anyway, we get up

770
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: and now we're on the opposite side where we saw

771
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the elk come out, so we're complete opposite side of

772
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: this little finger it we're on the other ridge and

773
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: so I get down and I'm kind of sitting there

774
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: glass and I want to be able to see into

775
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: the kind of meadow thing park that where they've been

776
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: coming out, and so I kind of come down the.

777
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: Ridge a little bit farther well, Curtis.

778
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Stays up top kind of glasses, and all of a

779
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: sudden we look on the far edge, skylit, perfect cow elk,

780
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: so we're like, hell yeah, Spike comes up.

781
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: We watched for hour hour and a half.

782
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: As these elk just kind of sunned, and a bird

783
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: would hop on their back and start like, I guess

784
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: it's picking.

785
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: Bugs or whatever, and they would just let it.

786
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: And so Curtis decides to go up top make sure

787
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: nothing's coming on the back side of our hill, and nothing.

788
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: All of a sudden he comes running down. He's like, boll,

789
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: I think there's a bully with the group.

790
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: So we're thinking there's a bull with that's heard, and

791
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: sure enough it's just this. It was a goofy looking

792
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: spike thick had like this weird curve to it, like

793
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: from far away you might be able to think it's

794
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: a bull. So we sit there and there's a county

795
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: road at the very bottom of this. I mean it's

796
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: shoot four or five hundred feet of elevation change or no, sorry,

797
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred feet of elevation, changing.

798
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: All the bottom bottom, and so.

799
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: I heard a truck or something rolling through there, and

800
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: all these elk pile over back up before that, we're

801
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: sitting there and all of a sudden, we hear some

802
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: raking in the trees and the timber that I don't

803
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: know if it was a spike, I don't know if

804
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: it's a bull. We never got eyes on it. We

805
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a meal deer because it busted off,

806
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: but we never saw him. And so we're thinking when

807
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: these cows busted through, it might push this bull out,

808
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: or he might they might pick him up, and maybe

809
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: they're coming up over the wall. So we sit there

810
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: for ten fifteen minutes, nothing comes through. We don't get

811
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: eyes on those cows or spike or whatever, so we

812
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: end up backing back up the top of the hill.

813
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: Curtis is like, let's let's get in the sun and

814
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: warm up a little bit and see if we can

815
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: glass the backside, because it's kind of it's hard to explain,

816
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: but there's another kind of big bowl behind us. And

817
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: so we get up to the top. Sitting in the sun,

818
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: you could smell elk real heavy in the way the

819
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: wind was coming. We kind of peered down into this

820
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: timber we're kind of looking. It was pretty heavily, pretty

821
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: heavy elk smell. So the plan was wait for a

822
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: little bit and then maybe just walk the timber and

823
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: bumped something up. We didn't have a ton of time.

824
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: We weren't, you know, gonna be there all day.

825
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: You're really against the clock now.

826
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: And sure enough we turn around and as we turn around,

827
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: cow elk on the backside of that that finger ridge

828
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: cow elk cow elk. And I taken my biose up

829
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's a legal bull and so I'm like, Curtis,

830
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: give me range whatever.

831
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: So I grabbed my.

832
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: Tripod and in the moment, I'm like kind of start

833
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: fumbling with the clips and I.

834
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 2: Was like, calm down.

835
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: So I calmed down, slow, get them, get everything out,

836
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: put the gun in there.

837
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 2: He gives me the range.

838
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: I look at the MOA or he may read out

839
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: the MOA, and then we subtracted the percentages we thought,

840
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: and I get on him and I'm like, is he

841
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: the one in the back? He goes what And I

842
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: just shot And as soon as I shot it, he

843
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: just stopped and did that kind of like thing in

844
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: Idaho where he was like done, he was done.

845
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: And Curtis is like another one. So I didn't want

846
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: to take the chance.

847
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: And so he's like four hundred and sixty yards I

848
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: think is what he was, and this was I know

849
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: what you can see on the camera.

850
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: Changed your MOA.

851
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: At this point I dropped my MOA.

852
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: I think it was like one point two or one

853
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: point four, because what I'd read is basically every five

854
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: hundred for every five hundred yards he drop at one

855
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: point four, depending on what.

856
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: The calculation we had. So I dropped it at that

857
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: and it worked.

858
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, both shots were within four to six inches, and

859
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: he just piled up right there.

860
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: But then then you're trying to race clean up duty.

861
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: So then so then I knew we weren't gonna be

862
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: able to like pack out like quarters, right, So I

863
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: take off run and I ran probably three miles. I

864
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: think it was relatively flat. It's kind of flowy and

865
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: up and hill, downhill whatever to get the side by side.

866
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: To get the side by side while Curtis is quartering,

867
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: I get up there to I think he'd only had

868
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: the ham off when I got back and he'd done

869
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: all the hide and stuff, and so I helped him

870
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: with other shoulders shoulder, I did the shoulders, heated the hams,

871
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: and then we took the took a euro so we

872
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: got it done and then we picked watkins and met up.

873
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: It's crazy too because you when you like back track

874
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: all this stuff and then we got to the airport

875
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: like right on time.

876
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: Didn't get to enjoy any of it. That was the

877
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: hard part is like I still haven't really enjoyed it.

878
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: And then I went straight to Scotland, so I didn't

879
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: even like well because normally.

880
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: I mean for anyone that's killed a bowl like that,

881
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: I mean normally, assuming you're not like really racing the time.

882
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: The heat, yeah, it was thirty degrees, it can like

883
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: if you're.

884
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: Not racing it, like we've we have experience where it's

885
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: really hot and you're trying to like get stuff and

886
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 3: you might have a really long pack out or something.

887
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: But if you don't have to hurry, it's usually not

888
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: something you rush through. It's like that's the whole experience

889
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: you've waited for. Especially this year, we had two unsuccessful

890
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: hunts and archery and then this one was like the

891
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 3: grand finale of going out West this year. So yeah,

892
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 3: it sucks for me to have like missed that, but

893
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: also for you guys.

894
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: We had a text read and I'm just like, let's go.

895
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 3: And my first reaction was so excited for you. My

896
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: second reaction was so massed off didn't go out.

897
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

898
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 6: The best part of that is like I didn't have

899
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 6: any service the whole time.

900
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

901
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 6: So we're going Chris Reason Metal Park where.

902
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: You guys there hiked up pretty good little chunk. Huh.

903
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: We're sitting there getting bad to do that.

904
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 6: You do the bear story. Yeah, we're Curtis seeing the bear.

905
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh bear shit. Yeah, so I.

906
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 6: Didn't know about that.

907
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Curtis has seen a bunch of bear signed black

908
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: bear sign and had a bear tag.

909
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 6: You dropped us off.

910
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how you didn't want to go in the dark,

911
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: Well I did. I didn't know, So hold on, way,

912
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: tell it from Billings perspective.

913
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: Billings goes, Yeah, Wakers didn't want to go, you know,

914
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: because they went to a new spot spot that head

915
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: and been it.

916
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: It's good, should be a good spot.

917
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: There's heavy timber, there's water blow, there's a good meadow

918
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: like all things that you would need or to have

919
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: a good spot, and so it's pitch black and we

920
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: drop them off to go to our spot, and so

921
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: Billings like, all right, let's head down there. And this

922
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: was in the spot where all the bear sign.

923
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: Was, and walk is like, I'm going down there. He's like,

924
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: there's a bear down there. I'll have a.

925
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Gun and buildings like cool, I'm going down there. So

926
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be standing here in the bear spot

927
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: without a gun, in the dark.

928
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: And he's like, all right, I'll go with you.

929
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 6: Kind of what happened because when you dropped us off

930
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: for there, of course it's cold, it's like seventeen degrees

931
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: and we're sitting there. I was just like, I was like,

932

Speaker 6: just like, we're gonna wait longer than a little bit.

944
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 6: I was just like, I'm not going through that. And

945
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,160

948
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 6: as I'm walking through and we're kind of like brushing

949
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 6: the oaks away, I had to see this big old PILEO. Basically,

950
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,239

955
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 6: days before. He didn't seemed like it took that long

956
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 6: to get through that. Dude, that morning, he seemed like

957
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 6: it took an hour to get through that because I

958
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 6: was freaking out, and be honest, I was just freaking

959
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 6: out the whole time. But like I said, the whole time,

960
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 6: I didn't have service. So we're sitting there, we're not

Speaker 3: if he killed something or like eleven or twelve game over.

1011

Speaker 3: Yeah.

1020
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 6: He talked about it every single day besides that last

1021
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 6: day about what how you always always get something in here?

1022
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 6: This is a good spot. I always get something, never

1023
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 6: gotten off.

1024
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: But it was a far shot.

1025
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was.

1026
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 6: Interesting, not too though.

1027
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: It was late.

1028
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 6: That was late. I just remember when he when he

1029
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 6: took it, I was like, so do you think we

1030
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 6: got it? I was just like, I don't know. So

1031
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 6: I'm looking through the glass you can barely see. I

1032
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 6: was just like he's still there. He's like, we wait

1033
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 6: tim more minutes He's like, we'll look back through. We

1034
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 6: looked through the glass again. I was like, hey, he's

1035
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 6: still there. He's like, oh, I guess I got him.

1036
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 6: Let's go get him. I was like, Jesu Louise, I

1037
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 6: think we got back that nine, like nine thirty two back.

1038
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was late. Yeah.

1039
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: That's the hard part too, is you're getting back at nine,

1040
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: nine thirty and up at five, and then you'd get

1041
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Bill who turn his damn light on it for four

1042
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: thirty and four o'clock in the morning and just start.

1043
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: You know.

1044
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: The other thing that's tough too with Like that sucked

1045
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 3: for me being sick is like every hunt camp is fun,

1046
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 3: but that was like a really fun camp was awesome,

1047
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: and I had I might be. I would go to

1048
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: bed at like seven thirty or eight, like as soon

1049
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: as I possibly could. Ye, I would go to bed

1050
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 3: because I'm trying. Every night I think I'm gonna go

1051
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 3: to bed, I'm gonna get better. Every night I go

1052
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: to bed, I get worse. And I meant anything good

1053
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: about the whole thing, Like because in Wyoming, I really

1054
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 3: I was sick one day and I went I got

1055
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: a lot of sleep that day, and I felt pretty

1056
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 3: much better the next day, So I kind of thought

1057
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: that was going to happen again.

1058
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: It did not happen, and welcome to being a father.

1059
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well I don't even know if he got me sick.

1060
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: It turns out probably, but anyway, but so then I

1061
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: missed out on like all that stuff too, So I

1062
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: don't know, I just have to I need to have

1063
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 3: a good year next year because I was sick two

1064
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,479

1068
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 3: Western hunting, like, being sick for two of them was

1069
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:27,640

1169
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,239

1171
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,080

1178
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: you're just stuck in this awkward position. But a drag

1179
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,320

Speaker 6: Take legs, core and cardio. Yeah, that's like the three

1181
