WEBVTT - Ep. 156: Dragging versus Quartering, Scent Control for Normal Folks, and more on Ask the Eagle with Janis Putelis 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:13.440 The Hunting Collective is presented by Element. I guess I 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:20.959 grew up. Hey, everybody, welcome to episode one fifty seven, 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:27.960 Phil six. Damn it got that at one fifty six 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.040 on the Hunt Neglective. I'm Ben O'Brien and you've heard 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.800 the voice, the lovely velvet voice of Phil T engineer. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.319 What's going on over there? Not much? I think we've 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.159 got some more snow rolling in. Are you excited? Uh? 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.479 Not really? Yeah, I mean I'm gonna take up skiing 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.840 this year for sure. I've been saying that as well. 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.720 Maybe we should go together. Yeah, maybe we should hit 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.560 the slopes together. Is what they say, kids say, shred 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.880 some nar together. Yeah, I think that's what the kids say. Um, 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.720 I'll do it. I mean, I've skied a few times 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.520 in my life, but never been very serious. But now 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.400 that I live basically right next to a ski resort, 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.480 I feel like, why the hell am I not doing it? 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.080 Something to do in the wintertime besides ice fishing, which, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.320 let's be honest, is boring as hell. Um, all right, 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.920 to begin the show, here we got Janice pateel Us 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.000 asked The Eagle, one of our most popular shows that 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.479 we do when we bring on Janice the Eagle patel Us, 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.039 and we let you guys call in and ask him 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.160 and me questions. I had a bunch of good ones. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.160 Um this time around, had a lot of fun, a 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.800 lot of laughs, learned a lot of things. Um. I 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:42.280 was able to actually describe a gentleman's deer skinning set 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.760 up without ever meeting him, because he's from Pennsylvania and 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.440 I grew up near there and I know how it is, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.320 so stay tuned for that. I always enjoy having Yanni 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.680 and we were actually back in the studio, which I 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.000 will tell you made me quite happy to be around 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.880 other humans. It was great. It was great so to 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.200 to to begin this. Phil Joshua Butler wrote in he said, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:12.320 pine tree, lavender and sarlock pit Are those your candle flavors? 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.680 We had a lot of people guessing your candle flavors? 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.120 Are they flavors or sense? Uh? Their sense I do 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.520 not eat the candles. Don't eat them. Don't eat the candles. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.840 They do not taste as good as they smell. Um. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:30.400 First off, pine, yes, I love to fill my house 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:36.400 with that woody that woody pine smell. Lavender. No, but um, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.760 I do love lavender. It's one of my favorite candles 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.600 when it's not the holiday season, you know. Um, it's 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.600 a great just just the classic relaxing scent. Um. It's 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.720 always This might be the lowest moment of the show ever. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.840 And Sarlac pit. You know, I have not smelled a 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.440 Starlac pit. I can't imagine if they that they smell good. Um, yeah, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.720 most most pits in general don't smell good. Do you 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.760 know what what a Starlac pit is? Uh? No, it's 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:14.600 a Star Wars thing. I thought, get them at I 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.840 has googled it. It's a Star Wars thing. It's the 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.160 thing that Hans Solo like falls into. Well, Boba Fett 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.560 falls into it, and hold on spoilers for the Mandalorian. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.240 Boba Fett gets out of the star Lack pit. He's 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.359 in the Mandalorian on Disney Plus. Right now, he gets 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.400 out of it. No one can die in the writer's world, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.320 exactly right, them right back and to exist. I know 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.280 some more action figures. Uh, Starlac pit. I didn't know. 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.800 I thought that was some kind of candle. So now 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.040 color me to two weeks in a row. I've been 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.080 made to look stupid. Maybe not maybe every week in 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.520 a row. I'm not real sure about that. Um, alright, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.360 moving on, I had really had no idea what that was. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.640 Uh could have I should have known it was Star Wars. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.920 This hunting podcast is no longer even remotely about hunting. 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.080 We're We're gone. It's gone, We're off the rails. I 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.640 apologize on Ben's behalf for including me not ye. No, no, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.960 the listeners are going along with it, which I like. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.360 I mean, I like that they're doing that. Alright, Phil, 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.400 we have to move to a bit of breaking news 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.279 and maybe a controversy on this show. Yeah, yes, we 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.719 have a listener, Greg Morrise. You know Greg from the 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.200 Great American Outdoors Contest. He's the one that made you 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.080 laugh by prank calling on X and asking if you 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:39.800 could see where the deer are? That great? Also that 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.960 was great and also prank calling first Light. So that 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.359 got him a winning prize. Now, it took us a 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.640 long time to get him first like gear, admittedly, but 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.520 he finally got it and he wrote me an email 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.320 it says, thanks again so much for the gear. I 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.960 got it last week and I've been using it when 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.040 I can get out. I really appreciate you guys looking 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.000 me up. I can't do much, but here is my 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.920 thanks to you, Ben, and then this video. Hello Mr 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.280 O'Brien and first Light. I just want to say that 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.520 I'm very, very appreciative of all the gear that you 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:17.480 sent me for winning the Great American Outdoors at competition. Honestly, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.279 I was expecting, uh, just like a few things, but 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.239 you guys gave me so much freaking gear. It's awesome. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.320 I used it the other day. It was awesome. Uh. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.120 It was in the middle of that rain snowstorm. My 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.080 old pants like by the time of it, my crime 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.520 would turn into pepecaca. So it was awesome. They kept 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.039 me warm. I was dry. Um didn't rock a Melvin 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:46.160 the whole day. Um. So just as a thank you, uh, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.640 to return the favor um to Ben for doing that 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.800 for me as a proud member of the cult, our 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.839 dear leader, I just wanted to show you with my 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.040 super skills that I have. So you got you know, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:10.600 they're good, marshal Uh, you got some good architects. And 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.120 then if you were to scroll down, look at that 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.320 Ben O'Brien writer an editor right there sandwiched in between 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:25.400 old mel Kuiper counting down the draft picks and Scott 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.120 Van Pelt running down the top ten. I think you're 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.240 in good company. So it's Greg Morris in his house 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.840 thanking us, and then he shows us, as you heard 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.840 in the video, that he went into the people from 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:48.040 Maryland Wikipedia list and inserted my name under authors and journalists. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.560 To say that I feel like a real celebrity right 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.240 now would be an understatement, Phil, I feel famous. How 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.000 do you? How's your reaction to me finally making it 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.000 after years and years of trying, finally making it on 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:07.360 the people of Maryland Wikipedia page. Well, I mean, at 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.800 first I thought you were completely unqualified, But then I 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.680 went to go look at the list, and there are 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.960 people on here I have never heard of. I don't 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.880 know why I would or should have heard of them, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.840 So I'd say, you belong here, I belong here. I 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.200 belong here. Now, when we first got this video, I 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.720 didn't go to the people of Maryland page. I just 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.360 assumed that I would be on there forever. I don't 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.040 know much about Wikipedia, not an expert. I just assumed 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.880 that because Greg Morris felt compelled and other THHC folks 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.480 felt compelled to put me on there, that I would 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.160 stay on there forever. I don't know. I don't know 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.280 what could be a better vote of confidence for Wikipedia 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:53.600 than that. But Phil, they removed me, didn't they? They 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.840 took me off? You're gone? What the hell? Man? Now 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.280 we have a controversy. Now what do we have to do? 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.800 What does the THHD cult have to do to get 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.440 me on there permanently? Do you know the rules of Wikipedia? 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.280 Because now I'm determined to be on there. Besides folks 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:13.640 like Pat Brown, Mark Davis, Mary Anne Gibbons, who are 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.600 these people I deserve to be there? Bronze A Parks 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.320 who apparently was a boat builder. Yeah I am. I 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.000 have never built in the boat, but I've built a 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.800 cult and that deserves to be on the Wikipedia page. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:31.680 I have hunted, I have killed, I have eaten. I 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.720 have done all the things that you need to do 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.760 to be on a list of people from Maryland killed 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.400 in Wikipedia page. I don't know what else I have 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.599 to do. I'm thirty five years old. I deserve to 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.360 be recognized for all my feats. And Greg Morris tried 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.320 to do it and he got denied by you know, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:57.480 probably the liberal media or Trump or hypocrites and silicon 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:02.719 Valley something like that. It's probably Paul the Sheer. He 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.120 probably went in there. And it goes all the way 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.480 to the top. It goes all the way to the top. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:12.199 And so I need THHD to react to this with 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.320 the full force of your might and get me on 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.880 for permanently the list of people from Maryland Wikipedia page. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.000 We must firebomb this page. All right, we won't bemoan 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.920 this any longer. But let me just say before we 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.319 get to the eagle, we get some of the stuff 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.600 to do. If you love me as much as I 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.680 think you do, what like, what what do we have 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.440 to do? Phil If we just keep putting it in 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.200 there for the rest of the time until they just 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.080 get tired of removing it. You think it's a you know, 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.640 battle of just just how long can we force hold 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.360 out to force better? Or is that do we write 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.960 a letter to Wikipedia? You know, I don't. I don't 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.880 know if the force method will work because I think 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.240 Wikipedia they have like algorithms to pick that stuff out. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.360 Like if someone who's kind is like repeatedly adding something 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.560 that they don't want to be there, I think that 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.800 just makes them more angry. Well, can we apply to listen? 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.400 I don't have a solution. Man, Well, what if we 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.960 put something different behind the comma of my name that 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:20.280 makes it seem more important? Philanthropist? That's right? Every year 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.000 a couple to maybe three at least. There you go, Well, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.400 maybe just cult leader, would that be? I mean that's enough, right, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.280 I think you had to put some stuff in front 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:36.120 of it. Author, writer, editor, you know, journalist, hunter, cult leader, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.360 like at the end, that's kind of like the period 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:39.920 of the sentence. We'll see. I think that's I think 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.920 you should lead with cult leader. I think that'll I 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.160 think that might bring you to the top. Next thing, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.760 I know, I get a Netflix documentary exactly. That's right, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.760 all right, all right, now, I'll just play the jingle, Phil, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:11:03.160 not so sharp moment. You don't have not so sharp moments, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.920 George Barlow wrote in George Big Fan of the show. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.160 George wrote a poem? This is Is this the first 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.600 not so sharp poem Phil that we've ever had? There's 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.240 been so many poems now, I don't remember what category 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.200 they fall into, but it might be I'm gonna write 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:26.040 a fucking poem Wikipedia, cult leader and poet Ben ben 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.280 Over Yeah, Poe editor, Okay, George Barlow. It was a 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.040 few days past Christmas and the ground was a glow 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.080 with two inches of powdery snow. It was a great 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.240 day for boarding and the decision was tough. But instead 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.200 of a snowboard, I grabbed my hunting stuff. I picked 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.960 up my shotgun and was met at the door by Beasley, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.520 my faithful chocolate labrador. I knew the police Hills would 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.120 be covered in snow, and I just knew where the 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.439 pheasants were likely to go. I had to meet my brother. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.760 I couldn't be laid out the door. I checked them 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.240 your tree. It almost hit eight frigidly cold, but still 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.480 well worth going. It was a blue sky day now 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.360 as the snow had stopped snowing. After a harrowing drive, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.000 we reached our destination. The dog bounded out and eating 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.880 no invitation. At the first hawthorn thicket, he put up 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.880 some birds. My brother shot the first and second, and 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.120 I got the third. Then we hit the creek, which 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.760 wasn't too wide. With a good solid leap, I could 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.120 reach the other side. I unloaded my gun, checked it 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.280 once and then twice. With the action still open, I 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.160 leapt over water and ice. I landed across but continued 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.760 to go. Before I knew it, I was lying face 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.000 first in the snow. When I stood up, I found out, 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.480 to my dissatisfaction, a great deal of snow had filled 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.760 up my action. I used my finger to clear what 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.880 I could, but there was snow up the barrel, and 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.959 that wasn't good. Luckily, the snow was so light and 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.280 fluffy it would surely come out with a little huffy puffy. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.480 Yeah that was. That was stretching it there, Yeah, that was. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:10.360 That was some Some clear and concise editing would help this. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.880 I'll just blow it out with some air from my mouth. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.080 I'll just blow it out with some air from my mouth. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.880 I'll just blow down the barrel. And that's when things 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.559 headed south. I realized that this might not be my 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.640 moment of glory, as I had flashbacks of Ralphie, a 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.360 flagpole and a Christmas story. My brain said, don't do it, 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.480 but the message was sent. It was traveling down my neurons. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.480 I couldn't repent. My lips hit the barrel, felt pain 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.640 and went numb, and I thought to myself, oh damn, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.520 I feel dumb. With my lips firmly frozen to the 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.880 end of the Barrel. I couldn't shout or swear or 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.360 sing Christmas carols. I knew then and there what couldn't 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.120 be done. I threw open my mouth and left some 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.280 lips on the gun. I'm not proud of that day 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.719 or the events that took place, and the fact that 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.120 I removed part of my lips from my face. But 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.760 now I am wiser because I'm getting old advice to 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.360 you youngsters. Don't lick metal. That's cold play. The jingle 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.640 Phil sharp not so sharp poement, so you don't have 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:34.480 to me amazing, amazing Phil An, amazing, amazing master poet. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.040 George Barlow. Yeah, I thought that was gonna go to 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.000 a dark place when he said he knew what had 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.240 to be done, and I was like, no, don't, don't, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:48.360 don't do it. But luckily I'm glad that he he 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:54.119 helped himself. Um, I'm still laughing at Huffy Puffy. It's incredible, 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:59.400 incredible writing there, George Barlow, Well done, sir, well done. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.480 That matches my little diddio on the Mediator podcast Christmas 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.440 Special last year and maybe even gets gets past it 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.880 quite a bit.

Man? 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.360 I haven't seen you in so long, other than on 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.880 the zoom or like actually on the YouTube's. I thought 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.560 we just did one of these, but happen. It's been 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.400 like a month maybe more way more. It was in October, 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.400 that's December, yeah, because we were talking about how bad 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.920 you're September hunts where archery season was, yeah, and then 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.800 October we got a little bit better, and then November 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.880 non existent. It just didn't happen. Mostly because of COVID. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.399 Oh yeah, because of COVID. I got a day and 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.080 a half in the breaks, saw hundred deer in two days, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:13.040 not a mature buck amongst them, and then got the COVID. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.120 That was it. I haven't been out since. I still 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.920 have the lung damage is still pretty pretty still feeling it, 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.679 still feeling it. I took my little son out there. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.000 We were building a fort out by the river. It was, 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:28.960 you know, just as a cool thing to do with 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.520 a little fire in there or whatever. And the other 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.240 times we've been there so easy, it's easy to get to. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.320 But last time we went, I was like I had 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.400 to we got home, I had to lay down to rest. 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.040 I felt like an old old man dad. I know. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.800 So I don't want to be a COVID alarmist or 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.520 anything like that, but um, you know, man, it's good 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.800 to get people's stories out there because somehow, for some reason, 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.200 it's there's plenty of people who I I personally believe 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.080 are being quite selfish with the way that they're treating 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.159 the whole situation because they're kind of only how it 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.440 affects them and not. Uh. I don't know, man, I 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.440 just look at it is like a like a patriotic thing. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.080 I'm if we all just got a chip in we 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.600 are done, like you know, World War two, you know, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.680 we rosid riveter my. I feel like, you know, when 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.560 people that make it a civil liberties thing, I get you. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.119 I'm all civil liberties. I'm all for civil liberties. But 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:22.879 I also drive on the right side of the road, 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.560 even though I pay for the whole road, and I 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.480 wear my seatbelt, and I go the speed limit. To 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.800 bring up that, uh, that argument with the speed limit, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.960 it's like, well, you follow the speed limit, don't you, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.560 And that's someone asking you to do that. They're not 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.720 you know, they can ticket you for it, but really, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.640 what's the speed limit. The speed limit is to keep 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.040 everyone safe and to say, like, we all agree that 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.560 this is a reasonable speed to go to keep everyone safe. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.720 And the other rule we have is don't be inebriated 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.920 when you're doing there when they're driving, that's a rule. 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.520 All those are public safety measures, that's all they are. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.359 And I think we've just politicized this, this particular public 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.800 safety measure that's not hard at all to do. It's 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.119 not so easy. Um, philosophically, I get the argument, but 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.160 just from a tangible, daily life thing, how much it helps. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.199 I'm not a doctor, but if it helps a little bit, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.720 then it's worth it, I think. So I saw who 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.280 went through it. I mean I definitely didn't get it 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.119 at a rave or anything. I got it in the 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:22.040 Missouri Breaks hunting with one other dude, you know. So 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.160 my my, my example is not not great in that way. 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.600 But um, just in general, everybody's talking about it. It's 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.720 it affects all our lives. And after I got COVID, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.400 I started thinking, like what can I do for other 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.280 people to make sure that they don't have to experience 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:42.119 this because it was It wasn't just not fun, it 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.600 was awful. Yeah, you got it bad. Yeah I got 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.000 like even the physical and mental issues that I've had, 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.240 because I got really confused a lot after it. UM 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.040 had ringing in my ears and things like that. Still 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.600 do UM, But just what I saw my family have 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.200 to go through, you just on the back end because 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.239 they all got it too. So dude, I just got 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.600 a email from my father in law who has an 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:14.040 acquaintance fifty seven years old, not even sixty, and she 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.040 and her husband got it. She passed away. He made 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:22.360 it barely. It's like this code is like a tornado. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.640 It just like goes into your town and like rex 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.960 one house and pulls the shingles off another house, and 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.560 rex the next house down the street, and like and 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.399 then then how how we figure that out? Because I 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.879 had been doing I had been taken zinc ightamin d, 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:38.879 a huge dose of viightamin d as big as I 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:40.440 could take, and a big dose of ighthum and see 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.360 for like six or seven months to the point where 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.840 I got COVID. So he's just doing that just to 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:51.120 be preventative, just to be I never take I hate 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.159 taking pills altogether, but I did for this because I 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.119 felt like it was I needed to boost my immune 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.920 system and say it's healthy. I could didn't help you, 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.719 note then help me none. Oh. In fact, now I'm 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.560 like vitamin D. We get vaccinated when it shows up, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.760 I think. But I'm in the immunity thing, so I 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.879 think just for again, think about other people. I would, Oh, 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.400 but let's just say if there's plenty for everybody, yeah, 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.040 you're fine. Oh yeah, I mean whatever. I'd like to 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.520 hear that. I want to get one too as soon 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.320 as I can. But dude, I certainly would understand if 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:25.879 somebody said, I'm a little nervous about it, but like, no, 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:27.879 this is something to be nervous about, Like it's not 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.119 something just to go well, yeah, I heard today that 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.879 they had a couple of folks that have allergies that 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.240 got their shot yesterday in Great Britain. They had some 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:44.280 some bad. Uh. Vaccinations aren't like, aren't a thing that 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.320 fixes it for everyone? It's it's yet another measure to, 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.560 you know, take a step forward and how we fight it. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.040 But yeah, hopefully get to hurt immunity. Get that. We 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.560 gotta get that hurt immunity. Well, you know, screw you COVID. 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.840 We're moving on, I asked the eagle. We're it's been 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.200 it's been a little while and you've been out there 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.480 ripping it up in the woods and I don't even know, 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:11.080 like what the successful what what's happened? Any Well, my 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:16.040 November had late November, late October through November. I did 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.240 have a couple of skonkers. I did. I'll be honest 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.040 with you, like full bad haunts. You didn't, no, no, 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:28.920 no no. I um, I had great haunts. Enjoyed myself immensely. 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:34.600 But if you're gonna be like a YouTube commentator, it's like, 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.800 don't even bother watching it because they didn't shoot nothing, 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:42.920 then you're gonna be disappointed. But hopefully you know the 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.200 people involved and just watching them do their thing. And 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.960 I wouldn't even call them like we didn't really struggle. 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.720 It just like didn't quite come together, you know, which 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:56.600 happens a lot hunting tag I had man I passed 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.439 like I don't know thirty or forty bulls on your 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.239 first week. Yeah, you were there for a little bit, 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:06.280 and then I went for four days thinking, you know, 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.000 it wouldn't be that hard dialed in. I didn't see 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.960 an elk what in four days? Weather or just you 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.680 just weather pressure. You know when I was leaving, when 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.399 I came and stopped in camp there for that one 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.720 little morning I was leaving, there was a dude checking 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.760 in like a three eighty bowl right in town there. 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.959 That's what I was looking for. They were there around 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.760
