1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and he walks and he turns broadside

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: and just like, all right, tank, whatever do you want

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: to take the shot? And I'm like, I don't like

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: that branch, so I go even lower and wider do

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the same thing, and then he's at two forty five.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: So we end up shooting. He does a little kick,

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: slowly starts walking just like hit him again. So we

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: hit him again and we were I'm like hey, I'm like, hey,

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm out of bullets. He's like, I got one, so

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: he hands me another one. He's like, load it. We're

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna walk up to the We let it sit there

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: for it. He's like, he's down.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: So he lent ten yards. He was toasted.

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, look having known what happened, yeah, pretty much. We

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: ended up, so he went. He did not go far

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: out here. The stakes are real. Effective preparation starts with fitness,

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: but it requires so much more. This show explores the tools, knowledge, resilience,

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: and skills needed to be ready when it is the

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: most Join me Rich Browning as we apply the decades

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: of wisdom I've gained through training and competition to hunting

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: in the back country. This is in pursuit brought to

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: you by Mount Knumps in collaboration with Mayhem Hunt God

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Bless Texas. That's a great song. It's actually true. Man

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: just got off a free range access hunt range fence.

25
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: There's access deer everywhere down there.

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Man, it is such a fun Let me look that up. Actually,

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: it is such a fun hunt.

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: It's a great off season you know, like I guess

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: it is spring bear, but you know it is a

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: good ungulate off season hunt. Well you can do them

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: three six, five, I know, but like the prime is May,

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: June July.

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: I think they go around there right now.

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: It's well you're listening for rars yeah, bugle ru roar, right, yeah,

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: I'm looking up how and when because I think we

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 5: were talking about I think it's the fifties.

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: They were introduced the sixties. Yeah. So the deal is

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: they the dose you will usually every three years they'll

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: throw four fawns, so it's not like the year where

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: it's one a year. They kind of can so it

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: keeps the bucks kind of running year round. Ish, Okay,

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: that's why you saw some like full hardhorned, some velvet,

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: some like growth.

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: Velvet, and some they're all over the place.

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: It's so fun. So apparently that's why somebody on the

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Internet's gonna tellus biology of why and how we're wrong.

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: But that's from what I've learned the last two years

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: hunting them.

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: The spot in stock part to me was cool, it's fun.

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: I was totally prepared for like corn feeders and a

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: ground Oh yeah, oh really, yeah, I I.

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: When there's nothing wrong with that, I want to go

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: ahead and preface if that's the style of like we've

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: done that. We did that back in December, and I

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: had a blast because you see deer the in Texas

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: in Texas, and so it's like, yeah, I don't want

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: to knock on that style because hey, if that's what

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: you enjoy, if you enjoy fishing, why can you not

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: enjoy hunting over feet er. It's the same thing. I

61
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: don't understand the disdain for it. And as long as

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: you're not billing it as this, I'm going out for

63
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: this hard hunt and no, heck no, I want to

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: flink some arrows and and hang out with my buddies.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: That's it. So this was not that, No, it was not.

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: We got on top of hills I call them hills.

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 4: They were low hills. They were low hills where you

68
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: can see far away.

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Me and Scott were talking and it was like the

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: perfect if you could elk hunt in that, how great

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: would that be. It's just like there's just perfect.

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: When you get on top of one, you can actually

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: feasibly get to the place you can see quickly, and.

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: You never really get like super leg burning.

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: You're just like I would say, they're almost punchy hills.

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even go with punchy.

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Man. It was like a gradual slow It was you.

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: Took three breaths and you were at the top, but

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: it was you could see just rocky. If you could

80
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: take the cactus out.

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: I've still got some you could see.

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: You could seriously see just enough to where like like

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: what happened? I mean, we'll get there about like seeing

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: his deer, but you could see a deer and be Okay,

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: in about ten minutes he'll be over there. So I

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: need to kind of start working that way and maybe

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: I can cut them off like that was. You could

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: make those plans to that point.

89
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Though. The hard part was it's like a maze of

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: scrub brush. There's a bunch of patches between and so

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: as soon as you lost any elevation at all, You lose.

92
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: You Yeah, he lost them and was amazed at that point.

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: You're an amazingly elabyrinth. Ye. Yeah, and so yeah, it

94
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: takes some skill for sure, knowing the property. That was

95
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: the first time we hunted that property. I think lease

96
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: if you hunt in the Midwest or south like we

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: were on a couple of thousand acre lease, low fence

98
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: like cattle fence. There were sheep, goats, yeah, moo cows everywhere.

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: And then the deer. We literally watched probably what twenty

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: or thirty deer. Scott just frolic back and over the

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: fence for two or three hours, just doze, just back

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and forth over the fence. And then a fawn that

103
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: got stuck on one side of the fence and couldn't

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: figure it out and it was panicking, looked like a

105
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: small dog. It was.

106
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: I well, I want to give it backs around accident

107
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: deer because I was interested in this. They're introduced, they're

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: from India, they're introduced.

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: To Texas, India and Sri Lanka.

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does, that's right. Ran nineteen introduced

111
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: in nineteen thirties for private ranches and then from there

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: obviously they just got out and then now they're I mean,

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: I would almost consider them.

114
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: There's how many.

115
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: There's estimated one hundred and over one hundred and twenty

116
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: five thousand animals concentrated in like a certain area of Texas.

117
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: Still there no non native invasive so you can hunt

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: them year round. You could technically hunt them with anything, spotlights,

119
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: you can do. Whatever we did, the like what you

120
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: would call traditional hunting. Some down total.

121
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: Their meat is wildly considered some of the best tasting medicine.

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: It's very good.

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could have taken it with bow or rifle,

124
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 4: bow or rifle.

125
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I carried a bow for two days and then took

126
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: the long bow. Yeah, the long bow, the three hundred

127
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: grain long bow rceiver variety. Yeah. So yeah, it's I mean,

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: if you if you had a week, ten days, you

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: could get one done with a bow. I think you'd

130
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: have to watch patterns, you'd have to try to figure

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: out where they were going, all that type of thing.

132
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: But a three we were in a three day hunt.

133
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Shout out Prenier Outfitters if you ever want to do that.

134
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a very fun, affordable ish hunt for

135
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: It's not a crazy crazy.

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: I would say it's on the lower end of yah

137
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: of budget or of night.

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like thirty eight dollars. And then you pay the

139
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: guide fee and.

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: They feed you, they lodge you, they put you up,

141
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: they bring you in and out of the ranch. They

142
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: do a good job.

143
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a ton of fun.

144
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: And then I mean, I obviously can't speak for Jeff,

145
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: but obviously Jordan was great, was great, really good hunter.

146
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: So we'll have helm on later. Jordan wants to get

147
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: on there. I know he doesn't like cameras, but we're

148
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: talking to him about in his stream for killing stuff,

149
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: killing stuff in Texas. Yeah, but Jeff's killed a bunch

150
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and around and he loves it.

151
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 3: So it is interesting that I'm not following a single

152
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: rud like that's so weird compared to what we're used to.

153
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: I think they say traditionally made June July is optimal.

154
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think that's what Jordan said too.

155
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: But half of them are in one cycle, half of

156
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: them on the other.

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: It was just like you said, certain dough like dose

158
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: are like every four years, roughly three or four years.

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: They're fours every year, four every three years.

160
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, that's so yeah, so it's basically nine month

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: is I'm guessing, and I'm guessing the the does that

162
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: come into heat are probably on a different cycle too,

163
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: like a three year cycle like this one. Like if

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: there's three does in a in a you know, in

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: a herd, this one maybe year one, this one maybe

166
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: year two, This one may be year three. So like

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: in that herd, there may be one every year. So

168
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: there's so that would explain why they're kind of running

169
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: all the time totally why others.

170
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: So it's just it's just interesting.

171
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not like white tail because like

172
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: the things that I think of a white tail, elk

173
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: and turkey all follow a season like mating, a mating cycle, yeah,

174
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: a yearly mating cycle, and then uh well but turkeys

175
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: kind of think I think it's happened in the fall too,

176
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: which is funny, you ever hear. I'm like, they'll goble

177
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: just because the weather. Yeah, like the weather makes them think,

178
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: oh game odd time, and the heads are like the

179
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: hell's wrong with you?

180
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

181
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: It was definitely very either late rifle elk e or

182
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: mule deer like E.

183
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm not really hunted mule deer. I've been on a

184
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: couple of guys are hunting mule deer. But we were

185
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: in that second season last that's the first time I'd

186
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: ever even thought about helping out with mule deer. So yeah,

187
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: it makes a complete sense.

188
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hike up at the top, you find him,

189
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 4: you calculate your stock, you go out and do it.

190
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 4: And man, if you can get down to Texas and

191
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 4: do that a couple of times a year, maybe once

192
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: a year on the off.

193
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: Season, keeps you fresh, for sure.

194
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: That would be an awesome way to get you know,

195
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: just increase your skill for sure.

196
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting. I was thinking about this

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: because when white tails, obviously, when white tails are running,

198
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 3: they are fighting. They're all running, they're all fighting, so

199
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: like is it is there like a hard horn buck

200
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: and then there's like a velvet buck and the velvet's

201
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: like whoa, bro, Like, what are you doing? You're like

202
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: if they don't have any you know how they they

203
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: just yeah, they just flipped that. They just flipped that switch,

204
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: and they're like their test osterer starts pumping and the

205
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: and like the other ones that have velvet still like, bro,

206
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're fighting me, right?

207
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know it, must be so confused. They just

208
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: run them off and they're like, all right, books just

209
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't want it.

210
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: They wouldn't. They would run away like, yeah we did

211
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: hit you videos. Why this guy posturing?

212
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: But I never saw him in the wild fighting. We

213
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: did see two hard horn uh that group that you

214
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: guys end up finding that we killed one of them?

215
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Were there two of them in that group?

216
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: Because we saw we only saw a half grown Okay,

217
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: so the day before that half grown was with two

218
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: hard horns. There were one big hard horn and then

219
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: like a slight.

220
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Wonder that one. I don't know, you got run off

221
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,880

00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: is the best way to do it. If you can

228
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,439

235
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,959

Speaker 1: there were two properties we could hunt a couple thousand

239
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: acres on each, yes, leases that they have.

240
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 3: We just went down the county road a little bit,

241
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: looked for stuff to like get us a start. Didn't

242
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: really see anything. So then we just kind of drove

243
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: out to a spot where we could glass from and

244
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,479

00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: And really didn't see much.

00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: These clouds are not where they should be.

273
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Dude, it was. It is classic. You can almost It's

274
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: almost like when you were joking around like and you

275

Speaker 3: for saying you put us in a in a bad spot.

287
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: And I said, Jordan, this hunting spot is so good.

288
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: The deer don't know where. The deer can't even find it.

289
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

290
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,720

00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: crazy was your first.

292
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: We went to the other property. Uh we Scott got

293
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: Scott got his nickname that morning that day we were

294
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: walking in and he is trying out the new Garman

295
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,880

Speaker 2: A track, a track, a tracker, a tracker.

297
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: And it beeps, no big deal, but every like thirty

298
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: forty five seconds it would do another beep.

299
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: And it wasn't like a I think I was causing

300
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 2: the beeps on hind s.

301
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: It sounded. It sounds like the Mario, like punching a

302
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: coin box. Yeah, that's what's it's it's hard to and

303
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: so it's but out there it's definitely loud. You can't.

304
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean in here really that but out there is

305
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: definitely loud. So Scott's trying to mess with it. Every

306
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: time he's messing with it, he's trying to it beeps.

307
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: He's like he's like, I'm gonna turn it off. I'm

308
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: gonna turn it off, and he's like, no, no, I'm not.

309
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: And so like we're fighting over the watch because me

310
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: and Scott are together all the time, so we're like brothers,

311
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: and we're like, I'm trying to like grab the thing

312

Speaker 1: off of his wrist. I'm like no, no, push his

313
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: button and just just staying there. He's like, you two

314
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: are like you know. So then he's just starts calling

00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Scott beeps.

316
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: And this wasn't five minutes into the hut.

317
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Five minutes into the hunt, and if you know, it

318
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: couldn't be far like, Scott's gonna be the most professional

319
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: in the group when it comes to distractions from media.

320
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Think there it is media things or just things making noise,

321
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: but Scott just it kept beeping there. It is so

322
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Jeff just started calling him beeps and it was I

323
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know why, but it got me so good that

324
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: he just ate For the rest of the trip, Scott

325
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: was beeps.

326
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: Because it couldn't be further from who's guy.

327
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, That's why it's so funny. So then we

328
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: went up and sat buy some water with a annoyingly

329
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: loud windmills that would creep. It sounded like, you know,

330
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: a horror movie that you were about to get murdered

331
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: by the Texas Texas chainsaw massacre. And I ended up

332
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sitting in.

333
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: A cactus, and this is how it happened.

334
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: And the cactus just it just never got better. I

335
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: had cactus in me.

336
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: From then on, the ones you can't see either like

337
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: they were like.

338
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: The First Man. And that first night Man, I I

339
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: was thought I had them all out, and then middle

340
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: of the night I would roll over and they would

341
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: like go from this way to this way, and it

342
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: would just point back in. It was miserable. So we

343
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: go up to the top of this hill glass a

344
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: little bit. We saw a turkey that was rotting. That

345
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: was pretty much that was it. We saw some two

346
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: doughs way.

347
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: Off and I think the turkey was going.

348
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: He was a hammer.

349
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: We could have were we had something that were I mean,

350
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: we could have killed him probably anywhere. Really, anywhere you

351
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: they were, you heard him.

352
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: They were.

353
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: They were loud every day.

354
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: The first night was really uneventful. Probably, Yeah, it was

355
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: not fun, especially because the year before Man we were

356
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: seeing Deeer everywhere, and so year I was here, I

357
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: was like, can we just go back to the other ranch.

358
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: The weird thing was to what you would think is

359
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: when we went out that night it's too hot and sunny,

360
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: that they're going to be shut down. Turns out they

361
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: liked that.

362
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: Weather, so that's what they kept saying.

363
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: Next that night should have been great, and.

364
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: That next day should have been in inredible because it

Speaker 1: rained bad.

366
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: The next day well, because of the range.

00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: it would have been like perfect.

Speaker 3: see these two fields and we should see something and

393
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: then make a plan.

394
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, backup, back up, How

395
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: did the drive start?

396
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: What happened as soon as we start going.

397
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, his windshield wiper, one of his when chew wipers, flies.

398
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: Off, just flies off, completely random. And he's like, this

399
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: is how you know you live in Texas. Yeah, but

400
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 4: that that comes in very important later on the day.

401
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: Takes a turn, so we're driving in. He's like, be

402
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: quiet when you get out because we even though we

403
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: can't see him, maybe close. And we pull up around

404
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 3: one bend in the road and he glass.

405
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: He looks out.

406
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: You guys are on your window, and he goes, dude,

407
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: there's a bunch of deer out there. And he said, oh,

408
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: I think I see a big buck out there, and

409
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: I think that's the buck. Were like, I've been wanting

410
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: to hunt.

411
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: No, he goes in and I quote, that's a big

412
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: bucking away.

413
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

414
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: Well, because if you've ever drove by deer like that,

415
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: like going to a spot, I've done this too. If

416
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: you keep driving, it doesn't freak him out. If you stop,

417
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: they'll all stare at you and wonder. You know that's

418
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: not normal. But if you keep driving, like, uh, road

419
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: trucks go down roads like that all the time, right,

420
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 3: don't think anything of it. Yeah, they'll go right back

421
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: to feeding. And so he did slow roll for a second,

422
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: but then just kept going. We went, you know, another

423
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: one hundred yards or so down and then we all

424
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: he the deer from there were probably one hundred two hundred.

425
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 4: And fifty off the road, yes, from the road there.

426
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: And then we went farther, so we were about two

427
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: fifty away from them. So we got out, got everything,

428
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: and uh, he's like, if that's a buck, I think

429
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: it is due we're shooting it.

430
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: And we're mad dashing like we're getting our stuff, and

431
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: we're like, this buck is right off the road. We're

432
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: gonna kill it right here right now.

433
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I mean that's exactly what we did.

434
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: We got the He brought his spotting scope, which people

435
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: will probably freak out over. He had his spotting scope

436
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: that I used as a tripod because we didn't want

437
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: to we didn't want to grab all this other stuff.

438
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: He just grabbed what we needed. We grab what we needed.

439
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: I grabbed the gun, He grabbed the tripod or the

440
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: spotting scope on the tripod, and Jeff had the camera

441
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: and we're and you know, we're selick. We're just going

442
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: it right in.

443
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: The most expensive stabilizer. Yeah, yeah, a double ey'd swow.

444
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: Luckily, there is a tree with a bush between us

445
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: and the deer, and so we just straddle that and

446
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: we walked right in through that line and Jordan's in front.

447
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 3: He pokes out and he said, that's you know, that's

448
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 3: the buck. He said, are you ready to shoot up?

449
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 3: We go, yeah, let's shoot it. And so he puts

450
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: his he puts his vortex spotting scope down.

451
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 4: It's Warski.

452
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: It was nice anyways, Uh, he puts his he puts

453
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: his spotty scope down. I lay the gun on it.

454
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: And as I'm laying the gun on it, the deer

455
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: walks behind the tree. I go, dude, I can't see him,

456
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: and so he picks it up. I picked the gun

457
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: up and we move over. I go, okay, there's a

458
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: good window. I see him.

459
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: He pivot left just a little bit and it's just.

460
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: Enough to where like when I had set when I

461
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: had set it down the first time, no nerves because

462
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: it happens so quick, no nerves, and then us moving

463
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: it over just enough time for me to start to

464
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: get the shakes, and we get over. I start to

465

Speaker 3: And I had a lot of window, Like I had,

469
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: I could see him for a while. So it's like

470
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: if even if he takes a couple of steps, I

471
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: got him and he's grazing like he's not in a hurry.

472
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: So we were not thinking that. By the way, we like,

473
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 4: I know when I'm on camera, like I'm just supported

474
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 4: like forever. It just seems like forever. But I would

475
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: rather that than you, like, okay, here there he is. Yeah,

476
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 4: I want you to get settled in and comfortable. Because

477
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: shooters always think they don't have enough time.

478
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually more time than you think.

479
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: Always that's in my yes, from where I saw him.

480
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Every time I've messed it up.

481
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: I had a I had a decent window where I

482
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: was going to continue to see him, and he had

483
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: no idea we were there. He was just grazing feet.

484
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: So I didn't really think to have a ton of

485
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: a ton of rush, pull the trigger, see him drop,

486
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: we all go nuts.

487
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: Dude, like le I mean straight out like.

488
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: It's one hundred and twenty five yard shot. You were stable,

489
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: you were comfortable your gun. Yeah, that's like ey'd gun guys.

490
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: Different trigger. Yeah, those are things that when I just

491
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: to preface when he brought the gun and I thought, hey,

492
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: at some point am I going to shoot this thing.

493
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: When we sat, I cleared the gun, made sure nothing

494
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: was in it, obviously away from people, and just dry

495
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: fired it to see what the trigger does. Because I'm

496
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: so used to a SIG where they I don't have

497
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: a custom trigger anything on them. There, no there's play.

498
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, you take a slack out

499
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: and you feel the wall and pull.

500
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: Kind of like a handgun.

501
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: Similar, and so I'm used to and this was this.

502
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: It was a gun works three hundred PRC and dude,

503
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: as soon as you pulled it, it was action. So

504
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: I say that to say, next time you're shooting somebody's gun.

505
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: No, what's funny is like they don't know the rest

506
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: of the story, but by the tone that we're using,

507
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 3: everyone knows, oh yes.

508
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you didn't ruin it.

509
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: The tone that me its obvious that the story is

510
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: going to kind of take a little bit of a turn.

511
00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 4: Yes, So Angelo shoots the deer, drops immediately back down

512
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 4: socc of potatoes. Jordan immediately goes down right there. Yeah,

513
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: And I'm as the camera guy. I go from the deer,

514
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 4: he's down, nothing to record anymore, So I immediately pivot towards

515
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: you guys and where everyone's hooting and hollering. Jordan's stoked,

516
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 4: You're stoked. I'm stoked.

517
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: And we see your dose come around the corner.

518
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: And these guys, Yeah, then them, that's where Rich's loud bow.

519
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: It needs my boat needs tuning in. Like for a second,

520
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: I was like, what's he talking about? Like, oh, he's

521
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: there close enough to hear that we're shooting. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

522
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: uh yeah, Like I I did have the boat with

523
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: me and I thought about I was like, man, there's

524
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: not I could make the I probably could have made

525
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: a stock.

526
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we would have made a perfect

527
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: it might have been worth it.

528
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it would have it would have been successful,

529
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: but I do think we could have put It was

530
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: stable for sure. It was because there was a bushes

531
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: every now and then, and he was very not aware

532
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: that we were.

533
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: There, was just feeding like towards us. Yes, I feel

534
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 4: like we could have played it.

535
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: We could have.

536
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could have went different.

537
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: I am not bow hunting purists by any means. I

538
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: like to hunt equal opportunity killer. Yes, I like to hunt.

539
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: I like to kill.

540
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: I like to eat the animals.

541
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: So if I had and I like hay friends. So

542
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: if I have an opportunity to shoot the rifle over

543
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: the bow, whatever, I don't care. So like the rifle

544
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: was the best option and the time, So I chose

545
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: the rifle. That's all there is to it. Uh So

546
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: we all kind of you want to use your term

547
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: that you keep using.

548
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: Uh No, we're all really excited. Yeah, we're all really excited.

549
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: We're talking.

550
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: We're just kind of like.

551
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 4: We're hyping each other up. But we're also like, what

552
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: do you do the second you kill something? You back off? Ye,

553
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: give it time.

554
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: That's what we did.

555
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: You don't want to pump it with adrenaline, like we

556
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: wanted to let it die, which we had already thought

557
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: it was dead at that point.

558
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: Yes, so we were just taking our time. Yeah, we

559
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 3: just stood there and talked for four or five minutes

560
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 3: about whatever. You know, Man, that was cool. I can't

561
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: believe it played out that way. You know, all the

562
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: normal stuff.

563
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 4: We were talking about. It's never this easy, yep. Like

564
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: it's you never find it right, you never shoot it

565
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: right out of the road. It's like this is crazy, yep.

566
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: And so we spent a few minutes talking and we

567
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: were like, all right, there's been enough time. Let's walk

568
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: up one to see that it is dead. Two, let's

569
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: get closer in case there is like a for like

570
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: you never know what a spike, a a spine shot

571
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: would drop. So you're just like, all right, let's just

572
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: go see, let's get close, let's go check it out.

573
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I like, I think our mindset was genuinely

574
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 4: let's start taking pictures. Like no, by no means that

575
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 4: we think there was any reason for any follow up

576
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: anything that's true.

577
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just wanted to get We just want to

578
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: get closer to the animal. And so we get over

579
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: to it, and as we're walking to it, it does

580
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: a little deathkick. Everyone's seen that little deathkick where there's

581
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: not much to it, but all four legs were moving.

582
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 3: This is important. All four legs were kicking a little bit,

583
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: and then they just kind of stop and he lays

584
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 3: right back down on the side like he's just totally

585
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: on his side the whole time.

586
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: He couldn't even think about getting up.

587
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: So I know that if he's spine shot, he won't

588
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 3: be able to kick his back legs. So I know

589
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: it's not a spine shot. So I know that, like

590
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: if there's a shot deer, I'm gonna shoot it again immediately,

591
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: I know that it can't move and I'm gonna kill it.

592
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: That is not the case, and so we hold back

593
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 3: a little thirty yards or so, yeah, hold back. We

594
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: glass it up, and we see a little bit of breathing,

595
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: so then we just stop.

596
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 4: We kind of get low breathing.

597
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of get quiet, and so we're like,

598
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: all right, just leave it alone. This is this is

599
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: how this is sometimes happens. They just slowly die. Anyone

600
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: who's hunting for a little while has seen that, even

601
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 3: with a rifle. So we just chill. And we continued

602
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: to chill for another eight minutes, yep, closer to the

603
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: deer and glassing every now and then towards the back

604
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 3: end of those eight minutes, we saw a little more

605
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: kick in it. And at this point we're like, Okay,

606
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: it needs a follow up shot, so let's let's go

607
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: ahead and do that. And the angle that we have

608
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: on it where I would have shot it the way

609
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: it's laying, I would have shot it through like the

610
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: upper back into his rib cage, but his head was

611
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: laying there, I would have shot through his head. So

612
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: we're like, well, I'd rather not shoot through his head

613
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: like I'd like the mount if possible. So we so

614
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: we move to a trophy. I am a trophy hun

615
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: her I like to kill, but big mature animals.

616
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: There should be no issue with that.

617
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: Big mature male animals that have spread their jeens plenty,

618
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: And so we make a little bit of a move

619
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: to get set up to shoot him. I shouldered the

620
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: rifle off safe, got one loaded, and he swivels around

621
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: and is now facing the other direction, and he's kind

622
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: of like propped up.

623
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: His back is towards you.

624
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, his back is towards us. And as I go

625
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: into the scope, he gets up and runs straight away

626
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 3: and nothing had ever happened, and Jordan's like shoot him,

627
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: and I like kind of trying to get him the scope.

628
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he's running straight away, so I only have

629
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 3: a Texas heart shot or in Texas, I only had

630
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: that shot for a second. And then he gets lost

631
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: pine something and in my mind, I'm thinking that even

632
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 3: that is okay, He's probably gonna go fifty yards and

633
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: pile up again.

634
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 4: Like that's exactly what I was thinking.

635
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: The first thing that goes into my mind is it's

636
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 3: a liver shot. He is dying but not dead yet.

637
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: He'll go fifty yards and if we don't push him,

638
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: he'll lie there and just die there. So we kind

639
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: of one freak out. We're freaking I'm freaking out. Are

640
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: you freaking out yet?

641
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 4: I'm just like I'm in shock, Like I'm just like,

642
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: what in the world just happened?

643
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I've in shocked. I'm a little freaking out.

644
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I'm freaking out, but I'm also not

645
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: the hunter. I'm just the like the journalist camera guy.

646
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: I'm freaking out because I thought for sure he was

647
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 3: dead when he did the soil of a round. That

648
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: was enough to freak me out. And then when he

649
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: got up, I was like, what just happened? And so

650
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: he runs away. We track him a little bit. Find

651
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: good blood, red dark red blood with bubbles in it.

652
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: Yep.

653
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 3: So we're like, so this is before we watch the footage.

654
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm more confident that it is a liver lung shot

655
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: because of the dark red blood and yeah, oh no, no,

656
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: before yeah, before I saw it, I'm more confident that

657
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: has liver, long blood clipped some long got dark got

658
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: liver because of the color with the bubbles.

659
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: Find a good a good bit on a cactus.

660
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 6: On a full cactus, paddy leaf, Patty, I don't know

661
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 6: what it's called, your pad pad lily pad, And the

662
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 6: entire thing was filled with bubbly red blood.

663
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: And then the bush beside it had it on the leaves.

664
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: At this point it starts to absolutely pour, I mean

665
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: absolutely poor. We're two hundred yards from the truck and

666
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: we are soaked to the bone.

667
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: It was like, you know the I know this is

668
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: gonna be funny, but like this scene of the notebook, like.

669
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's horrid, Like do you want.

670
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: But like it went from zero to a hund and

671
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 4: we were all soaking wet within twenty seconds if it started.

672
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: All six of us. Really, yeah, you guys were out that.

673
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: We're like, we were wondering what you guys were doing

674
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: because I knew you weren't that close to your truck.

675
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: You guys are kind of wiped in.

676
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. So if you guys know, rain and blood trailing

677
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: do not go hand in hand, so cold dog.

678
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we go back to the trucks to the

679
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: call of dog. It takes about two hours to get there.

680
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: At this point, it rains off and on thunderstorms that

681
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: whole two hours we get there, all the blood we

682
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: had seen prior is gone.

683
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

684
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: I get Jeff said there's some type of hormone that's

685
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 1: released between their hooks.

686
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: I get shot that likes like adrenaline between their stuff.

687
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: That's what the dog is allegedly tracking.

688
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: I imagine that goes away.

689
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what for sure, that's what the dog tracker

690
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: kept saying. And I know he was just trying to

691
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: one back up his dog and to like talk to.

692
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: Us, because yeah, and angry kind of.

693
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: But if the blood washed away, it's just like if

694
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: there was paint there, if there was red paint there

695
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: and clear paint there, both paints are gone. You just

696
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: can tell that this one's gone. Uh So then yeah,

697
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: we call a dog, We track it. What we think, Yeah,

698
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: we think we tracked for two or three hours. I

699
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: think the dog kind of got lost and we found

700
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: some does.

701
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: He tracked some does.

702
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: We ran with some does for about two hours and.

703
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: Ran us up and around some hills. We did, we retried,

704
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 3: we restarted the track, retried. Yeah, and so we yeah,

705
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: we called it at that point.

706
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: So to parallel that, it also kept raining the whole the.

707
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Whole time, continue to rain while the dog was there.

708
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: So parallel this, Scott and myself and Jeff were walking

709
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: up this hill. We're here shot, We're like sweet, we

710
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of go over. We sit in glass for a second,

711
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: thinking we're gonna get a picture, gonna get a picture,

712
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna get a picture. And they're like, ah, you know,

713
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: like he was down blah blah blah, and we're like,

714
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: this is weird. You know, they're not sending us anything.

715
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, usually you get up some type of genitalia

716
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: picture or something, you know, and we weren't getting anything.

717
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: And so yeah, we're just sitting there in the rain.

718
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: And we sat there in the rain.

719
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: For what two hours probably, yeah, pretty much soaked.

720
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: My feet were wet for forty eight hours if not.

721
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I have trench foot still. And we sat under some

722
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: trees that did not provide any cover whatsoever after they

723
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: got saturated. And we walked around for another hour or

724
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: two after it stopped heavy raining, and didn't see a thing, right.

725
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: No, we didn't see anything that morning.

726
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: Nothing, not a thing.

727
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw you, I mean we saw the dose

728
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: that yeah, I think with his groom.

729
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: First when he shot the does kind of peeled around

730
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: the side of the hill.

731
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: That was it.

732
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys were leaving as the dog trayer came

733
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: in because it was like twelve thirty by them when

734
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 3: the dog tracker got there, like it had been a while.

735
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 4: Yep.

736
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: So we go back home and Angel worked out a

737
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: little bit while Jeff pulled up the video. We watched

738
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: the video and it was probably what four or five

739
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: inches in front of the shoulder, dead center on the neck.

740
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: To me, it's still like with a three D PRC.

741
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: So I think it either just send the customers the

742
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: same thing.

743
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, pretty much the same thing, but.

744
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Like either concussed him or yeah, like the stunned him

745
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: for a little bit and then he hopped up and gone, yeah,

746
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand I don't really understand it at all.

747
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: What everyone keeps saying is you can like the pressure

748
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: obviously obviously when you shoot a puercussion pressure. Yeah, the

749
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: bullet's small. I mean, I don't know bliss as well.

750
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: The bullet small. The bullet isn't what does all the damage. Like,

751
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 3: the concussion does a lot of damage. What I'm hearing

752
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: is that it went through meat on the neck. Their

753
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: neck is obviously thicker than ours. Meat on the neck,

754
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: and the concussion show the spine to where he like

755
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: was paralyzed for a second. Then when he was no

756
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: longer paralyzed, he got up. I don't understand it at all.

757
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: If I got shot in the neck, I probably would die.

758
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: Most things would.

759
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean we looked, you looked, watched the video kind

760
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: of assessed that he was either still alive. I mean,

761
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: you did everything you possibly could at that point. So

762
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: that afternoon you guys went and hunted with Jordan, the

763
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: hunt winner, which there were two Jordan's, two Jeff's, and

764
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: two Jakes at camp, and so you guys end up killing.

765
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: They did a nice stalk on a one. You guys

766
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: did some glass and for him and helped and did whatever.

767
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Jordan got his buck. They're from Michigan, so they actually

768
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: drove all the way back to Michigan.

769
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: They bounced.

770
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: They bounced the next morning. So that afternoon, me, Jeff

771
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: and Scott, against mine and Scott's better judgment, we went

772
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: back to the property again where we had not seen

773
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: anything you guys had shot, and so we hiked around,

774
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: got up on that nob. I guess it's not even

775
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: like it is a hill, but it's not whatever, and

776
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: so we glassed up what I think was the buck

777
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: that we ended up getting to the next day. But

778
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: we tried to make a play and get in front

779
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: of him, and he just did not cooperate. He was

780
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: just moving around. He was pushing some does and they

781
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: were a herd, and we.

782
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: Tough because there's not much elevation, so they can in

783
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: its thick brush, so they can get away pretty easily.

784
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: We basically saw him in one gap, some in another gap,

785
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: some another gap, and then didn't and then we.

786
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Then we give to get position and he was coming

787
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: at us.

788
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he kind of just.

789
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: Went on a like slowly left left and just kind

790
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: of stayed on the perimeter of us where we couldn't seehim,

791
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: you could hear random roars. So we kind of called

792
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: it at that point and we're like, ah, let's get

793
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: back to let's get up high or see if we

794
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: can find him again.

795
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: Well, we wanted to see where he went and maybe

796
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: have a player for the morning.

797
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so we get up to the top and

798
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: we're walking by one of these brush I don't know,

799
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: little forests type thing. It's not it's you know, not

800
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: really big. It's probably what a thousand, five hundred square

801
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: feet of brush. Yeah, and where we hear noise commotion, Well,

802
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: then you hear antlers, but it's not your normal like

803
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: bust where they just get up and go. It was

804
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: like a labored get up up, like try to get up,

805
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: fall down, get up, fall down, get up, fall down,

806
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: get up. Ease out to the next set of brush,

807
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: and we saw some dough a dough well, we saw

808
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: the buck. We saw the buck, but we saw a

809
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: dough there too. That was just kind of doing whatever.

810
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: That's when Jeff like panic, gets a gun because he's

811
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 3: seen a buck.

812
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so we just all hell breaks loose, all

813
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: Helm breaks loose. I grabbed the gun and the bow.

814
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: I think at some point we're running. Gun is not loaded.

815
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: We're running with the gun and trying to get in

816
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: position to get ahead of this buck. And in my head,

817
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, it's Angelo's buck. And if it's not

818
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Angela's buck, it's injured. Hopefully it's Angelo's buck. So Angela's

819
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: not stuck in purgatory anymore, and he can either have

820
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: his buck or you know, or I kill this buck

821
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: and then you can go on another buck. Because you

822
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: draw blood, you're you're stuck with that buck. And so

823
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: we tried what four or five different places along the

824
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: way that he would just run to the next set

825
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: of scrubs.

826
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: How far was he running, like between those fifty dollars, Yeah,

827
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: fifty yards. Maybe that's weird activity.

828
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Weird activity. You would think you bust something and boom,

829
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: they're going county. And so we we got close enough.

830
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: Helm even like we got in this little brush, we

831
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: had an opening where if he ran, and he ran

832
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: right through that opening, but he ran not walk through it,

833
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: Jeff through a rock and it spooked him to the

834
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: next set. And then we just could not get on him.

835
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: If we had a pistol, you probably could have got

836
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: on it with the rifle. Dude. It was just hard

837
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: to hard to find him. And the western they got

838
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: western real quick. And then on the video, it's gonna

839
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: look like we had four hours left of daylight, but

840
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I could barely see through this. Well.

841
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: Then we finally did bust him away out.

842
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he took off, So we dropped a

843
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: pin there for you guys to come back. And that

844
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: sets up your last day where you guys just looked

845
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: for him for about nine hours.

846
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: Just to backtrack a little bit, if you see a

847
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 4: wounded animal, you want to try to do yours for sure.

848
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: That that was the point. So we see they see

849
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 4: a wounded animal. As hunters, they're trying to do their

850
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 4: due diligence to you know, finish this. Sure.

851
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that it's not acting right, that it's

852
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: running fifty yards and trying to hide. Yeah, you know,

853
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: usually they're like I'm gonna rely on my legs and

854
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm gone. Yeah, So there's something weird about that. So

855
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: that was my thinking was that, hey, get this thing down.

856
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: If it's Angelo's great, If not, I don't care whatever.

857
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: And so next day you guys come back and you

858
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: searched and gritted, and what'd you do like ten twelve miles?

859
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least or at least ten we did at

860
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: least ten of just like you guys send us the

861
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: pin where he crossed one of the dirt roads, and

862
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: we just went up and back, up and back and

863
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 3: down back and grinded it back and gredded as much

864
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 3: as we could, went as far as we could, basically

865
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: until we got to the creed to help you.

866
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you guys got to a creek bed.

867
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: There's the other side of the creek.

868
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: That's why I said, or heard you guys want to

869
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: get lunch. I went to the other side of creek. Yeah,

870
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: we're like, well, might as well try the other side.

871
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 4: We went through every single bush you can imagine.

872
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: And with the other period, I mean, the other issue

873
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: about it was that, like you guys said, he's only

874
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: gone fifty yards at a time. So we could be

875
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: within thirty yards of him and not move. So we

876
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: had to be diligent about going, Like if we went

877
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 3: down this line, we could only go thirty or forty

878
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 3: yards down and do it again. So we couldn't just

879
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 3: like kind of see, h yeah, it's not really here,

880
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: and then it's hard to see some of that bush.

881
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 4: Yes, it was definitely. We were very much grid searching. Yeah,

882
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 4: like you can see it on our track. We're going

883
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 4: up walking fifteen steps going back in. Yeah, we're not

884
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 4: like trying to be stealthy, no, trying to flush again,

885
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 4: we're pheasant hunting for a wounded access right now.

886
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: We started a little slower and a little more quiet

887
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: because we thought what you guys have told us, he

888
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: had literally got across the road and bet it down,

889
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: So we started slow, and then when he wasn't there,

890
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 3: we're like, well we kind of just get him. We

891
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: need to get him moving. Never saw him what about

892
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: ten miles or so, never saw.

893
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 4: Him, never even came close.

894
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: And then I mean we walked. We walked from seven

895
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: am until about four thirty with a lunch break, with

896
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 3: a lunch break four thirty or five, and I don't

897
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: know because we yeah, we charged our phones for a

898
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 3: little bit, and we want to help them.

899
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet you we got Yeah. It was probably

900
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 4: six when we and we started glassing them. Yeah. And

901
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 4: then I'll be honest with the angelo. I was. I

902
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 4: was really motivated. We're going to find that.

903
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: He was so optimistic, was so optimistic. Me and Jeff

904
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: are the epitome of glass half empty, half full. Yes,

905
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: my glass is always half empty. Yeah, your glass is

906
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: always half full. It's the same glass. I do not

907
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: see it. Every time we turned the bush, Jeff saw

908
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: it as another opportunity to see where the deer's at.

909
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 3: Every time we turned another the bush, I thought, well, hell,

910
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: if he's not behind that one, why the hell would

911
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: he be behind that every single time?

912
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: So it was just a.

913
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: Struggle's been through so many different hunting scenarios where it's

914
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 4: like last ditch effort, last little you know jaunt, and

915
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 4: it works out, it changes the trajectory of the entire hunt.

916
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: The problem is the last few tracks I've done for

917
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 3: like wounded or mortally wounded.

918
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: Animals have been not successful.

919
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

920
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 3: Sure, Like I guess maybe maybe if the last one

921
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: had been successful would be enough to push me to

922
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this one could be too.

923
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I also think, like you know, I was telling

924
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: Angela like I need to grab my pom poms right

925
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 4: now and just cheer for you, because like it'd be

926
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: really easy as the camera guy with no strings attached

927
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 4: to this hunt, just beaking like, yeah, we're never gonna

928
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: find Like I don't know why we're even here. It's true,

929
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: like I'm trying.

930
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: To bird, Bird, do you think think we'll find him?

931
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: Odds are pretty bad? I don't think so. Literally, No,

932
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: That's what he said in you talk. When I shot

933
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: that bowl that we found the next morning, seventy five

934
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: yards from where we were, I said, man, you know

935
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm where you were on whatever day it was. And

936
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: You're just like, gosh, one, you wanted an animal. Two,

937
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: you're going home empty. Three you look like an idiot,

938
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: like that's your whatever? Ye, And I'm like, Bird, what

939
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: do you think? And He's just like, yeah, I'll be honest,

940
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: are pretty bad.

941
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm like he asked me that same question, dude,

942
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: he's gotta be got to be on the corner. It

943
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 4: was crazy because I don't know the way I look

944
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 4: at it, and Angela and I talked about this. I

945
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: as a hunter, just like continue to check the box, right, Like, Okay,

946
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 4: we tried this, check the box. That didn't work. We'll

947
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 4: try over here, check that box that didn't work. Like

948
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 4: eventually you're gonna run out of boxes to check and

949
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna have success.

950
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: My problem is like it's like there is a law,

951
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: it's a laundry list of stuff to do. And we

952
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 3: did this, did this, did this, And when you start

953
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: to run an option, you go, well, hell, I mean

954
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: I only have three more options at this point. The

955
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: other fifteen didn't work. So because it ain't gonna work.

956
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 4: Probably the truth is if we were like locals there,

957
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 4: like if you were hunting in your backyard, you would

958
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 4: find that buck eventually. And even Jordan texted me he's like, hey,

959
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: I'm still looking for this, Like there's no way he's

960
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 4: going to survive this summer. Yeah you know. And so

961
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 4: the only reason we didn't have successes because of time.

962
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah right, we've been there for a month. Maybe we

963
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 4: would just fine. So long story short.

964
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 2: And probably rain and rain didn't help.

965
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's like, can we get out of a

966
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: better not sure? Can we talk about his hunt? It

967
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 3: was actually really fun.

968
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 4: We did our due diligence, we checked all of our boxes.

969
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, so previous day I dropped my backpack, which we'll

970
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: get to later on the story.

971
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: This plays though, and so we even Curtis is never

972
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: wonder rule.

973
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: Well, it was like a day pack, and so you

974
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: really didn't need it, you know, like it was really

975
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of worthless to have until the next day. Usually

976
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: we would come home for lunch. I think last year

977
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: we stayed out one whole day. Me and Scott preferred

978
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: the whole stay out all day method because you can't

979
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: kill anything at the ranch.

980
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 4: Same.

981
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: So anyway, so we get out that morning. I've got

982
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: no pack. God has water, That was it.

983
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: I had water in a couple of mountain ops and

984
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: a stick ignite, yeah I was. I planned to be

985
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: out there for four hours, five hours.

986
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, and no breakfast yep, yeah, running on caffeine.

987
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: So we get out. We kind of climb this hill

988
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: to glass a little bit. We see some does, watch

989
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: them hop a fence for a little while.

990
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: Well yeah, because we thought we thought that he was

991
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: going to be the yeah.

992
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: And he just was not there. So we decided to

993
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: when the Doe stopped playing frolicking over the fence. We

994
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: go to this kind of the backside of this property

995
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: and we do a couple sits and listen, sits and listen.

996
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: Then we get on the hillside and we glass. Jeff

997
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: takes a nap. We sit there until about Jeff takes

998
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: a long two hours. Me and Scott are just sitting

999
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: there with our on our thumbs.

1000
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: I think I took maybe a twenty minute nap.

1001
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: I think you did.

1002
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt nice, maybe thirty minutes.

1003
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: I did not nice. I did not. And so we

1004
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: get up. We kind of walk back, hiked back, and

1005
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: then we're kind of back and forth with these guys.

1006
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: So we go back to the original spot because we

1007
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: see some doze and they're jumping the fence again. You know,

1008
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: probably fifteen twenty one.

1009
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: Should also be said. We did stay out the whole day.

1010
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: So the whole day.

1011
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: So you guys have food stat all day and we're like, well, no,

1012
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: but we'll stay Yeah.

1013
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: So Jeff throws me a meat stick. So I had

1014
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: a Mountainknops chicken buffalo chicken meat stick. So that was

1015
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: about it. Then we sit there and we're watching these doughs,

1016
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: watching these does, thinking this buck's gonna come by Well,

1017
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: then these guys go up on top of the hill

1018
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: with the glass and get my bag. Ye, and so

1019
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: they spot a buck, and so we're kind of this

1020
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: is legal in Texas. It's convenient.

1021
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: It's convenient that your bag was on that knob too,

1022
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: because that was kind of the one we were probably

1023
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: gonna go up anyways. But also it was like kind

1024
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: of no choice. Your bag's up there, you guys are

1025
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 3: gonna be able to go there by dark. So all right,

1026
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 3: we're going up there.

1027
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: And so you guys spot the buck. And so Jeff

1028
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan are like, we're in a good spot we

1029
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: think from where he's gonna come, judging on where the

1030
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: power lines and all this stuff are. So we're sitting

1031
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: there and for what all over hour and a half,

1032
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: their phones are starting to die, and we're starting to

1033
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: like text each other sidebar like, hey, where's he at.

1034
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: It's actually because Jeff and.

1035
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: They kept saying, hey, he's one hundred yards from the fence.

1036
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 2: He's about to be in the meadow. He's coming down

1037
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 2: the power line and we're looking at a meadow and

1038
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: we're not saying buck or anything.

1039
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 4: Disclaimer All of this is legal in texting all this

1040
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 4: is legal in texts. Yes, yes, communication via phone, there's

1041
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 4: no rules. It's an invasive species, there's a rule, don't

1042
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 4: come after some rolls.

1043
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 3: But last there's less rules.

1044
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: There's less rules on the phone for invasive species. If

1045
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: this is white tail is probably different, right, bet, you

1046
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 1: couldn't do this right tail. But anyway, you can.

1047
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: Talk on the phone, you can text, you can send pins.

1048
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 4: All that's legal.

1049
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: So at some point they decide that, oh, where he's

1050
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: about to cross the fence line is about a mile away,

1051
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen yards away something like that. Yeah, so Jeff's like,

1052
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: we gotta.

1053
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: Go well becauid Angelo sent us a pin and I

1054
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: was like, dude, this isn't right. He's way off. And

1055
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: then we're like, wait a second.

1056
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 3: I send a pin when I really he's had a

1057
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: picture where he was at it, this is where we're at,

1058
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: And we're like, why the hell's you just sending us

1059
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 3: a picture?

1060
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: But actually did hell? I wanted to show you what

1061
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: you were seeing, what we were like.

1062
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: I saw the bend in the road and I started

1063
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 3: I could see roughly it was.

1064
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: Far, but I could see gravel, dirt, driver.

1065
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, dirt.

1066
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, if that's as far as he can see.

1067
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: They aren't anywhere in the vicinity.

1068
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: And your pin was so far away from where you

1069
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 2: guys were describing this buck from our per I was like,

1070
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: there's no shot his pins right, and that when we

1071
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 2: realized the pin was right, we were like, oh crap.

1072
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 6: Yes.

1073
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 4: So when I remember when Jordan and Jeff had the

1074
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 4: initial conversation of being on the same page, I was

1075
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 4: genuinely impressed. I'm like, wow, that took not a lot of.

1076
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. The telephone, the last telephone.

1077
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 4: Bole, Yeah, perfect done. Meadow, Yes, the bole got it

1078
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 4: like boom, like and the conversation and you guys are

1079
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 4: just pinned on this meadow near the telephone. We were

1080
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: in different universe.

1081
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: We were thinking that where he went yesterday, he hopped

1082
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: that fence. Those dozes were with him, and it was

1083
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: a four hundred dish yard shot something like that, I think,

1084
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: And so we're just waiting for him, thinking he's gonna

1085
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: come right along that line. Yeah, we were wrong, and

1086
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: so we bomb this hill and get out to the

1087
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 1: the dirt road.

1088
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: We were literally running.

1089
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeff Helm was running. I dropped the bow. At

1090
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: this point, I've given up on the bow. We've got

1091
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: this hunt and then the next morning and that's it.

1092
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 4: We're done.

1093
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: So I'm like, rifle time, rifle time. I'd rather come

1094
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: home with something for my kids to think was cool

1095
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: than hey, no, your dad's a loser. So we started

1096
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: writting down you getting kids, yet you will? And so

1097
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: we start sprinting down the road. We get to some trees,

1098
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: we see the buck and there Jeff's like, here he

1099
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: is getting the trees. Find a rest. There is no rest.

1100
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: What make it work?

1101
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 4: Can I back up a little bit? Yeah, so Angelo,

1102
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: Jordan and I see all of We see the original

1103
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 4: meadow that Jordan was trying to convey to Jeff. Here

1104
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: comes as does, here comes to half buck. Here comes

1105
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 4: this beautiful buck, and we're like waiting for your gunshot,

1106
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 4: waiting for your gun shot because at this point the

1107
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: conversation we had thought everyone was still on the same page,

1108
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: and we like, we just see this beautiful buck not

1109
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 4: getting shot and moving into the next thick timber, and.

1110
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: Then all hell breaks well we start.

1111
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 3: That's when we started when scramble.

1112
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 4: Because that was, yeah, that original meadow was when we

1113
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 4: were like, oh, no, one is on the same page.

1114
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: We realized there's two rows of telephone poles, one going

1115
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 3: vertically and one going horizontally. They're like at the horizontal,

1116
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 3: We're like at the vertical. That's the that was the

1117
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 3: problem to.

1118
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 4: Conundrum multiple meadows.

1119
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: So we get in position. I get on a tree

1120
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: and just wedge my hand into the tree as much

1121
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: as I can it's straight up into out, and just

1122
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: set the gun on the tree. That's my rest sucks,

1123
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: and so he at first, I don't know, we thought

1124
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: he was gonna spook a little bit because the doze

1125
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: kind of either saw us or got a little doze.

1126
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: Were all staring at us.

1127
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Yoh dag. So we can't move, and he he has

1128
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: turned heavy quartered to basically frontel and it crossed my mind,

1129
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I did not.

1130
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: I remember you saying like he's front I was like, I'm.

1131
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: Not gonna take a shot. So then I'm looking and

1132
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: i can see in my scope the branch on the

1133
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: tree in front of me that's hanging right at my

1134
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: scope level, and I'm like, that's below the barrel. I

1135
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 1: should be fine, but it's it's like it was enough

1136
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: in my way. So I'm sitting there and he walks

1137
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: and he turns broadside and just like, all right, whatever,

1138
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: you want to take the shot. And I'm like, I

1139
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: don't like that branch, so I go even lower and wider,

1140
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: do the same thing, and then he's at two forty five.

1141
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: So we end up shooting. He does a little kick,

1142
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: slowly start walking just like hit him again. So we

1143
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: hit him again, and we were like, I went, I'm like, hey,

1144
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm out of bullets. He's like I got one, so

1145
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: he hands me another one. He's like load it. We're

1146
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna walk up to the We let it sit there

1147
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: for he's like he's down.

1148
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 2: So he went was toasted.

1149
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but having known what happened, we ended up. So

1150
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: we he went, he did not go far, and he

1151
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: was dead when we got there. We did not have

1152
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: a Lazarus situation. And those bucks now named Lazarus. Yeah,

1153
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: you don't get it. Read the Bible, you're pagan.

1154
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 4: Because when I saw the footage on Scott's like, he

1155
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 4: didn't drop immediately, he kind of ran off and then

1156
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 4: like jumped in yeah, or took his death roll and yeah,

1157
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 4: because we heard.

1158
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: It, and then we had good keep pumping them with it. Yeah,

1159
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: all right, hit him again. I'm not taking after yours.

1160
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the chance and it doesn't mess the

1161
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: hide up as much as I think.

1162
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, we're good. Nope, we're yeah.

1163
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 3: Hit him again.

1164
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, Texas is awesome on a highs and

1165
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: lows and yeah, but it's a great great adventure for

1166
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: some friends. And got some that Jeff last year got

1167
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: close to him, so we've stayed friends. We're gonna have

1168
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: him on a podcast maybe, Jordan, if he'll come out

1169
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 1: of the darkness and wants to actually talk about guiding

1170
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: a little bit in Texas.

1171
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 4: You did get him going like he was talking to Yeah, yeah,

1172
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 4: we got him going a little bit it.

1173
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 3: We had a good time. Really, he's a great I mean,

1174
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 3: he's a great hunter. So, like you said, that'd be

1175
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 3: a great place to go hunt. I think.

1176
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: I think, man, it's such a good off season thing.

1177
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: It's it is spot in stock. Granted we we spot

1178
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: stocked with friends and with communication. Yeah, you can done

1179
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: three days. You have three day hunt man, and it's you.

1180
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: You gotta get what you gotta get.

1181
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: I asked Jordan that. I was like, so how come,

1182
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 3: how come? Because it is Texas, why don't you guys

1183
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 3: hunt our feeders. He's like, honestly, I think you can.

1184
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 3: We just it's just not our style. We like like

1185
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 3: honey access teers like more fun on like spot in

1186
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 3: stock style, he said, And I'm just a little better

1187
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 3: at it, and so you can do both. But like

1188
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 3: I mean, it is fun and it's doable. It's definitely

1189
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 3: doable compared to like, like we said, compared to Colorado

1190
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 3: or somewhere else that's very difficult to train. This train

1191
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: is moderately difficult. I say, the most difficult part is

1192
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 3: just the rocks. It's just rocky and it's just annoying. Yeah,

1193
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: it's not difficult, and there's some hills, nothing crazy, you

1194
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: can most most of the places you can see and

1195
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 3: actually get to in a reasonable amount of time. I

1196
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: thought it was fun. I've I've never had in a guide.

1197
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 3: Jeff was the first guided hunt I went on, which

1198
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 3: doesn't really count. Jordan was the first guy I'd ever

1199
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 3: had and had great We had a great time. I mean,

1200
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 3: like he really kind of knew his stuff.

1201
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to go to learn, it's great

1202
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: to learn I think from a guy I think it

1203
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: gets knocked at times. Will do it myself cool.

1204
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: He's he's hunted those those several thousand acres for like

1205
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 3: fifteen or twenty years. Like you can't learn it in

1206
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 3: three days. Like, yeah, you can. Yeah, Like you're saying,

1207
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 3: it's a good especially if you just haven't.

1208
00:52:59,120 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: Done it a lot.

1209
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 3: It's it's probably a good idea to have somebody who

1210
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 3: knows one what they're doing and two knows the area.

1211
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're going to do it, bring.

1212
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 4: A bowt in a rifle to totally.

1213
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know.

1214
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming from a fly fishing guide perspective, if zero

1215
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 4: is like a never ever and a five is a pro.

1216
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 4: If you're going on a fly fishing guiding trip or

1217
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 4: a hunting guided trip, that person's knowledge, take full advantage

1218
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 4: of it. Yeah, you have like a lot at both

1219
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 4: fishing and hunting have a lot of dead time. You

1220
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 4: can just ask that person for as as many questions

1221
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 4: as you can, Like if you go on a guide

1222
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 4: to hunt, try to take full advantage of it.

1223
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, because then maybe at one point you don't need

1224
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 3: a guide, but like at right and when you're starting,

1225
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 3: you probably do exactly a lot, and then at one

1226
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 3: point you can try to do it yourself from the

1227
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 3: knowledge you've gained from those guys.

1228
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 4: Everyone needs a mentor man, and you know some.

1229
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: Come to Maham Hunt Prep camp.

1230
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:50,759
