Speaker 1: we're excited about. I think there's a lot we have

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: to catch up on, um so and in general. You know,

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: as we use there, I'm getting stoked, specially stoked because

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: as of last night around ten pm Eastern time, I'm

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: back in Michigan, back in the Midwest, and it's time

33
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: to hunt some white tails, or at least time to

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: get ready to hunt some white tails. So start the process.

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Have you been shooting your bow while you were out

36
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: in Idaho? I have, um, but not as much as

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: I usually do. UM. I brought my bow out there

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of arrows and a little tiny um

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Rheinhart kind of circle target don't let's call it, but um,

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: not as much as I usually do. So I actually

41
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: just today went and bought a new target, a bigger target,

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: because my my usual big block targets all blown through

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: from the past couple of years, and I've been kneeing upgrade.

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: So about one of those Rhinehart eight ten ones. Um,

45
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: So we're gonn try that out. And then I think

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy a new three D Target too, So

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: they don't buy the one, don't buy the one I bought.

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I know, I it takes arrows really well, but it

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: pisces me off because you put three arrows in it

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and the legs come apart from the body. The legs

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: come off, the antler's come off, the ears come off. Um.

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: I had the same one. I still have the same one,

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: but after I used it for like a year, year

54
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: and a half, maybe I just put in the garage

55
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: and I've rarely taken it out since I might like

56
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: blow it up or something, just to do something cool

57
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: with it, be cool video. Yeah. Yeah, I want to

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: get a new three D again. I'm I'm leaning towards

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, I have no I don't really have a

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: favorite Target brand. I've tried a bunch. I've tried uh

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Morrele I think is the brand. I tried whoever makes

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: the Glendell, and I tried the Block, and I've tried

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Reinhardt Um I'm I'm kind of leaning towards sticking with

64
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: rein Hunt right, not just because from everything I hear

65
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: they last the longest. Um, So that's what I bought.

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, I bought the eighteen one. I'm gonna

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: try that out. And so right now I'm debating what

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: three D want to buy. I'm leaning towards the Reinhardt um,

69
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: but I'm still not for sure on that. So we'll

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: see you the next week or so. I'll figure it out.

71
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Good luck with your decision making. Thank you, Thank you.

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: I could if someone saw me today, they would know

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: that I must have been what's the right word coming

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: off of like white tail deprivation because I couldn't get

75
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: any work done today, and so I was like, I

76
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: need to go just buy some ship. So I went.

77
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: So I was gonna go to Cabela's, but I ended

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: up not having time because I had to get back

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: for this. So I went to Ganner Mountain and I

80
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: bought a new target. I got new arrows, I got

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: new broadheads. I bought some sent Away and some nose

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Jammer and some attracted to bring down to my hil property,

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: putting friends and trail cameras. And a whole bunch of

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: crap like that. So I dropped a few hundred bucks

85
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: tonight just to get my white tail fixed. I feel

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: like that's all I've been doing this year's buying stuff,

87
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: like especially for the Idaho trip, because I didn't have

88
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: any of that stuff that I needed, you know, for

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: the backpacking up into the mountains, been six days type

90
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: of trip. But like even this year, I bought some broadheads,

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I bought a target, I bought um what else that

92
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: like a new string, you know, all those that you know,

93
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: mineral batteries for your trail camera. All that stuff starts

94
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: adding up and next thing you know, you're like, holy

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: sh it, what happened to the savings account that I

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: have specifically for this? Yeah, my U. The other day,

97
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: my wife and I went through our finances, and we're

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: going through trying to figure out, you know, you know,

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: all the stuff that we gotta figure out. It's especially

100
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: unique for me since I don't get a steady paycheck,

101
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of have periodic glumps of

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: money coming in and so um, I was trying to

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of figure all that all out and figure out

104
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: how much money we had left for the year and

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: how much more is gonna come in, etcetera. And as

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: we're going through that, I pulled up my UM checking

107
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: account transactions and we went we were going. I was

108
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: going through a line by line just trying to see

109
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: how much my averaging a month spending on stuff. When

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: I pulled out all the bills and then you know,

111
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: looked at just miscellaneous spenses. I won't say the dollar

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: mount per month, but the dollar mountain. And my wife said, like,

113
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: what the hell are you buying? She's like, what, and

114
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: how do you spend that much money on nothing every month?

115
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, a coke here, McDonald's there,

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: a DVD, a book, this, like a little tiny little

117
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: things that just add up to a bunch of money

118
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: every month. Um. So basically I'm going broke because I'm

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: buying too much McDonald's. Hey man, maybe I will be

120
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: equal with you even though you spend all that time

121
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in the mountains. Yeah you know what, Um, I weighed

122
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: myself last night when I got home, and I am

123
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: exactly what I weighed when I left. So maybe you

124
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: lost lost some fab but put like muscle on your legs. Yeah,

125
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I hope. So I know for sure. I mean, I

126
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: definitely I'm whether or not I weigh differently, I'm definitely

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: better shape. Um, Like, from what I was handling at

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the trip to what I'm handling at

129
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: the end of the trip, much much better. So I

130
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: feel I'm feeling very good for what we'll be doing

131
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: up in the mountains as far as physically being able

132
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: to handle it. So I bought one of those training masks.

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: It restricts your breathing basically, so it's harder to breathe

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: in and and exhale as well. Obviously it can't simulate

135
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: the thin air, but um it's it really does work

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: your lungs. Is that the thing that makes you look

137
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: like Bane from Batman? That's right? That is be a like,

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: I want one of those just to walk around the

139
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: grocery store. Yeah, I had one out and I was

140
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: on the treadmill at the gym at work and a

141
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: lady came in and she was surprised and looked at

142
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: me like, Okay, is this guy gonna do a mass

143
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: shooting or is you just gonna run on the treadmill?

144
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: So I think you're scary even without the masks. I

145
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: can't imagine. I can't imagine what you looked like with that,

146
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: oh man. So uh so we're both excited about deer hunting,

147
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: and we got a lot of stuff to talk about

148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: deer hunting. And I'm all of a sudden having all

149
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: sorts of deer hunting were laid. Things is happening in

150
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: this week and next week because I've been gone past

151
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: two months. So I've got a couple of exciting updates

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: to share with you. I want you to start at

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: on your way back from Idaho, you stopped in Iowa, right,

154
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: I did, and you tried to access some ground. Yeah, private,

155
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I want to hear about that. Yeah. So you know,

156
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, I drew in Iowa tag this year,

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: but I have nowhere to hunt in Iowa. So my plan,

158
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: like you just said, was on our way home from

159
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Idaho because we left we left Friday last Friday, did

160
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: a backpacking trip, camped a few places. Excuse me, I've

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: got the bud light burps over here. Um. On the

162
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: way back, we're gonna stop in Iowa. I was going

163
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: to knock on doors and try to get someone to

164
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: give me permission to hunt this fall. So to set

165
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: the stage. Over the past couple of months, UM, I've

166
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: been doing research, trying to put together a list of

167
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: properties that I wanted to ask UM. And I was

168
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: greatly aided by one of my friends who lives out there.

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I gotta give him props because in this general area

170
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: where a hunt, where a bunch of my friends hunt. UM,

171
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: he's gotten to know a lot of people around there

172
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: and just kind of new a bunch of properties that

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: would be worth asking. So he's been sending me names.

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: So and so you shouldn't you should ask this guy,

175
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: you should ask this Gale, etcetera. I've slowly been accumulating

176
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: a list of names that would be worth looking into, UM,

177
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: and then between those names and then doing some research

178
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: on my own. UM, you know, I've been going taking

179
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: these names, going onto the county g I s maps

180
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: which show you, you know, shows you a property like

181
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: satellite view, and then it outlines the parcel borders forever property,

182
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: and then you can click on each property and see

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: who then who owns it, what their home addresses, all

184
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I was able to do that for

185
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: all these names I've been accumulating. So I ended up

186
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: arriving in Iowa with a list of I think eleven

187
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: or twelve properties that were high on my list that

188
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: I want to check out and by the end of it,

189
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: by the end of what What's it tastes? Thursday to

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday was my big asking day. I knocked on thirteen

191
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: doors on Tuesday. Yeah, and that did a whole lot

192
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: of driving because I had to knock on a bunch

193
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: of doors multiple times because they weren't home. I kept

194
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: circling around trying to wait till someone was there to

195
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: like a find somewhere, walk around the barns. Um. But

196
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: knocked on thirteen doors probably put two miles in my

197
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: truck just driving around eastern Iowa. Um. But I have

198
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: news to share about the results of those thirteen door knocks. Okay,

199
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: and I want I want your guests all those thirteen

200
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: door knocks, do you think, Well, how many yeses did

201
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I get between zero and thirteen? How many yeses do

202
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: you think I got? Okay, So I'm gonna go based

203
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: off my experience. Okay, So the worst day I ever

204
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: had I knocked on twenty two doors and was told

205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: no twenty two times. Yeah, okay, so I know that feeling. Yeah,

206
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of optimistic, and I'm going

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: to say two. I think I got two yeses. Huh,

208
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: two yeses? And did I I didn't talk to you

209
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: about this yet. I might haven't. I forgot about it, didn't, Okay,

210
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: I didn't think so. So the answer is two yeses. Oh,

211
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: you were spot on, my friends. I'm good. I might

212
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: played lottery tonight. You're very good. Yeah, And I'm very

213
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: happy about these two yeses. Um, because it was access

214
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: to two farms that equate to one thousand, two d

215
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: and fifty freaking acres. That's pretty good. That's incredible as

216
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. That's incredible. So what's it looked like?

217
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: Are we talking a lot of eggs? Are we talking? Uh? Fingers,

218
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: big chunks of timber? Doesn't have it all. I'm talking

219
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: like if you were to go on White Tail Property's

220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: website and go look at like the best like two

221
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: million dollar farms with the big giant bucks and like

222
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: all the topography and the huge fingers of timber that

223
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: come out and creek bottoms and mixed in the fingers

224
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: beans and corn and everything that kind of gives you

225
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: a white tailed chubby. That's what the properties look like. Geez,

226
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: so you struck gold, I struggle. I got super super lucky,

227
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: very fortunate. Um. Some I'm very excited about it. But

228
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: the thing is is, like you know, I'm used to

229
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: when I hunt in Michigan or Ohio these other spots,

230
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: like there's so many more people, you know, Becky East,

231
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 1: that the properties are all broken up into much smaller parcels.

232
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: So you know, almost all the farms around here are

233
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: forties or eighties. You know, a big farm, like a

234
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: hundred sixty acre farm out here is a big farm

235
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: in Michigan. So whenever I've gotten permission in the past,

236
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: it's been twenty acres, forty acres, eighty acres, ninety acres. Um.

237
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: I've never gotten permission on something this big. Um. So

238
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm you know, this is slightly new for me because

239
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm used to getting a hundred acre property and say, okay,

240
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out this one hundred acres. And then

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I figured out, scouted out fair aout, hunt hunted. But

242
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: now I'm saying, okay, so this farm has got seven

243
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: hundred and this farm's got five hundred. Where the heck

244
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: do I start? So the good thing about This is though,

245
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: is you can only hunt so many acres of that, right,

246
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to hunt in the middle of an

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: egg field. So I don't think of it as you

248
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: know acres. However, many think of it as you know

249
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: two acres, and that's where you have to focus on. Yeah,

250
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: and there's definitely there's a lot of huntable ground. Um,

251
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I got I lucked out, like I said, I mean

252
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: just super lucked out. This isn't one of those These

253
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: aren't these farms that are like egg ground and just

254
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: a little corner of timber. I mean, it's like they

255
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: both of them are just like kind of like the

256
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: picture perfect type of farm. If I could say, you know,

257
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: if I got to just choose, you know, out of

258
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: thin air that the farmer I wanted both of these

259
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: two kind of are that feed those features. It's just

260
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: all these fingers of timber that run out and tons

261
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: of little secluded fields and fingers of fields and lots

262
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: of ridges and hills and water sources and all sorts

263
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: of stuff. So you know, like you said that, the

264
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: key is going to be narrowing down you know what,

265
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: you know, what's hontable and then looking at that honible

266
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: ground and then saying, Okay, what's the very best of this,

267
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: and then focusing my efforts there. And so that leads

268
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: to me to what I did Tuesday night. So I'm

269
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: figured out, you know the stuff, but I'll walk you

270
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: through what I did, just because if there's other people

271
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: listening that might, you know, encounter situation like this, maybe

272
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe my experiences are helpful. So I got permission on

273
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: these two farms about one tho so many acres. I

274
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: got home that night, not at home, but back to

275
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: the campground. We camped out there. We went to McDonald's

276
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: where I could get WiFi access, and I pulled up

277
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: the g S maps for each property so I could

278
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: see the borders. And then I pulled up Google Earth,

279
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: and then I pulled up my top out dot com.

280
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: In between these tools online Google Earth will show me

281
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the satellite imagery and like a three D rendering of

282
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: the property, so you can zoom in, zoom out, fly

283
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: across your property, dropped down to like a perspective of

284
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: like I'm standing at the bottom of the creek and

285
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: I can look up and see all the hills around me. Um.

286
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: That gives me a great idea of of the lay

287
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: of the land. And then with my topo dot com

288
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: you can get free topographic maps, um, which you know

289
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: that could then very clearly see the contour lines, where

290
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: the ridges are, where the valleys are, where the saddles are,

291
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And what I did is I compared

292
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: those three maps Satellite, Google, Earth, Parcel Borders and Topo

293
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: because it's four and I could then you know, really

294
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: get a good idea of both these properties. And then

295
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I started like crossing sections off, like I'm not gonna

296
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to this section. I'm not gonna pay attention

297
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: to this section. I'm gonna you know, like you just said,

298
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cross off the big fields, um. And I

299
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of narrowed down each farm to a core area

300
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: that I was the most interested in. I studied that

301
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: all night. Then I woke up really early Wednesday morning,

302
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: so yesterday morning, since we're recording this on Thursday, which

303
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: speaking of, apologies to all the listeners for the late

304
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: episode this week. But I didn't get home until really

305
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: late last night, so we just weren't able to do.

306
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: But Wednesday morning, I headed out like six in the

307
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: morning to the first farm, and I walked, you know,

308
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: the sections that I was most interested in based on

309
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: the maps. I walked all through there and it's just gorgeous.

310
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, big fingers of timber, rolling hills, deep creek bottoms,

311
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: lots of deer sign. Um. Now, one thing to know

312
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: is on both of these farms, I'm not the only

313
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: guy that hunts them, um, So there's definitely other hunters

314
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: out there. I think one guy said there was three

315
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: to five other guys out there in general that heat

316
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: I think roughly around there and the other farm I

317
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: think it was similar, but they said they're mostly shotgun hunters. UM.

318
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: So I know I'm likely to encounter you know, pressure

319
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and other hunters, and I'm gonna have to adjust to that. Um.

320
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: But given the fact that these farms are so big

321
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: compared to what I'm used to in Michigan, that's probably

322
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: low pressure on you know, on five acres in Michigan,

323
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm probably dealing with like twelve hunters, so it'll be

324
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: any tree stands. I saw two on each two, So

325
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: that's why I consider that very minimal. UM. Now, I

326
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: didn't walk every square inch, like you know, There's tons

327
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: of ground that I didn't see, so there's probably more Um,

328
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more, but you know the fact that

329
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: what I did walk I only saw two I was

330
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: I was decently happy with that. So I walked both

331
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: farms as much as I could. I wore myself out,

332
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: very exhausted. Um tons ups and down steep hills, cliffs, rivers, creeks,

333
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Um bumped some deer. I bumped one

334
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: deer that didn't see but he just you know, you

335
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: don't you hear a big buck bouncing away. You just

336
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: know it's a big buck. It's almost like you can

337
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: feel and hit the ground. Yes, it's the feeling, you

338
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: feel that, the the impact. I had one of those,

339
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: and it was like bedded in like a stereotypical prototypical

340
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: buck bed like I was walking down like there's gotta

341
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: be bucks betting on this, and then boom, bah boom

342
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: bah boom. So that was good. Um, And you know,

343
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: in general, just I liked both properties a lot. I got.

344
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: You know, I had a very limited amount time to

345
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: scout him because we had to take off by like

346
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the afternoon in order to get home

347
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: last night. At that you know, we're trying to record

348
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: last night. So I was trying to get home in

349
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: time for that. UM, So I just had a few

350
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: hours on both properties. But what I saw was very encouraging. UM.

351
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: And from what I know from the people that some

352
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: of the people I know out there, there's there's good

353
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: history on both properties or right around both properties. Um,

354
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: some very good deer. I've been taken around both of them,

355
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling good, Dane. Did you drop any trail cameras? Yes,

356
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: I put one trail camera on each good UM mineral

357
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: like a bag of corn or something like that. Yep,

358
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: I put out. Oh what did I put out? Um?

359
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: Put a trophy rock and then this big and j

360
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: like liquid attracting on each of them because I was

361
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: easily packed in. So yeah, hopefully i'll get a little

362
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: bit of intel when I come back in October. Check

363
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: those out. And UM here's my question for you, Dan,

364
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: and I've got a strong opinion on this, but you're

365
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna tell me. Um, I think that, even though I'm

366
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to check these pictures until October,

367
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they should be eligible for our trail

368
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: camera contest. So you're saying then hard Horn too, Well,

369
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: we're going to do just velo right right? That was

370
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: that was the original Yeah, yeah, I mean if it counts.

371
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: So so I'm just saying, can can we wait until

372
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: I checked those cameras to look at the velvet pictures

373
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have in August, right right? I can't you know,

374
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: I won't be able to wear a Michigan State hat

375
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: until the vacation anyway. So yeah, well, well wow, it

376
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: all right, very good? Then I feel I feel better

377
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: about my chances by a little bit at least. Good. Yeah,

378
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds to me like you've got a

379
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: lot of coverage. Yeah, you know, I wish I, you know,

380
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: had like ten cameras put out there, because I bet

381
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: you would have got some big ones for sure on

382
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: camera if I put a bunch of cameras out there.

383
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I just had to throw one up in,

384
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, a spot I thought would be decent in

385
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: the you know, two hours I got to watch the

386
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: property and since I know there's other guys in these properties,

387
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: but I just don't know who they are and stuff.

388
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: I was worried about putting them out, you know, in

389
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: the open at all. So they're in spots kind of

390
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: tucked away that maybe wouldn't be the place I would

391
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: usually put a camera, but I just wanted to put

392
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: somewhere in in a half decent place, but also somewhere

393
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: where I didn't think when I would see it. So right,

394
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: and unless there is a truly hardcore hunter like another

395
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: one of us out there, you know, most of the guys,

396
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: they go out and they'll hang their stands a week

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: before the season starts if they're if they're in fact

398
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: bow hunters, you know, shockgun hunters, they have their stands

399
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: out there all year round, or they do their drives.

400
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: You'll be out of there by then. And uh, and

401
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, so you're probably So here's the question to you,

402
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be going to Ohio as well? Are

403
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: you going to depending on what I guess a lot

404
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: of it has to do with your trail cameras and

405
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: what they produce, But are you going to be spending

406
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: more time in Iowa or more time in Ohio? Um? Well,

407
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: if it's okay, I'm going to differ from answering that

408
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: in detail until we get a little further in the

409
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: episode when I want to actually talk about the detailed plans.

410
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: But I will say just in general, I'm planning I'm

411
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: probably splitting it half and half. Um. And and what's

412
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: really going to take the the hit is gonna be Michigan.

413
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hunt Michigan a whole lot. I'm just

414
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: gonna bounce between Ohio and Iowa as much as I

415
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: can without my wife divorcing me. Um, and then I'll

416
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: swing back into Michigan whenever I have to. UM. So

417
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the game plan, right, And then,

418
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: like you said, trail cameras will play a partner too.

419
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if I if if I'm down in Ohio

420
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: opening weekend and you know, Glenn has showing up in

421
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: daylight every single day, and every time I go down

422
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: there after that, he's just all over the place. I'll

423
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: probably continue focusing on that. But you know, we'll just

424
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: have to see what happens, right, And it's hard. It's

425
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult, especially if Ohio or you you know,

426
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: in Iowa, you pull your card, there's giants on it,

427
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: and then you're also in Ohio, which is also another

428
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: producer of giants. It's how do you know when to go?

429
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Type of thing. Yeah, it's it's it's gonna be a

430
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: tough call. I mean, I've got I've got a basic

431
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: game plan in place, which we'll we'll discuss a couple

432
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: of minutes that I think is my like my framework

433
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: for the season and my plans um. But then I'm

434
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna let weather and trail cameras lead me

435
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: in either way, so I'll probably be chasing weather fronts.

436
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: It will be a big power of what I'll be doing.

437
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: If a big cold front sitting in Iowa, drive six

438
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: hours and hunt the cold front there, and then if

439
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: it's hitting Ohio three days later, I'll pack up in

440
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: Iowa and shooting down to Ohio and you know, we'll

441
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: see yours. Your plan involved buying something expensive for your

442
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: wife many times, and of high monetary value and lots

443
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: of wine. That's right. So luckily I've got a very

444
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: understanding wife, so I can do that. But that's my

445
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Iowa story. Good well, best of luck, m Thank you.

446
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I kind of hope you don't have any big bucks

447
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: on you. But speaking of trail, what about your Michigan

448
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: card pool. Yeah, I'm kind of full of full of

449
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: interesting updates today. Finally, so, like I said last night,

450
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: I got in really late. I had to unpack the

451
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: car a little bit, and um, I try to go

452
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: to bed, but I couldn't go to sleep. It was

453
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: like full adrenaline from like just getting in the house

454
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: and not being here for two months. So I'm laying

455
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: there in bed at like ten thirty at night, I'm

456
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: not going to sleep, and I'm like, Kylie, you care

457
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: if I go check my trail cameras. So like eleven

458
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, I went to good check trail cameras

459
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: and one of my properties and I was gonna take

460
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: my four oler out there, but my four other one

461
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: start the battery died while I was gone. So then

462
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's gonna be paying the butt,

463
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: driving weight or walking way back there. But at this

464
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: point I already kind of committed enough. I was wearing

465
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: my boots and I brought a head lamp out so damn,

466
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: and I was going. So I went trekking all the

467
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: way back through these couple of properties, and UM, checked

468
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: pulled two camera cards. It was kind of debacle, why

469
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: don't want that? Went out there? I found out my

470
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: food plots, which had been spread a couple of times

471
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: before I left while they were really growing up. So

472
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: they're a mess. Um. But I got the cards, took

473
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: him home, checked him last night, and I'm gonna ask

474
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: your guests again here, Dan, Okay, how many how many

475
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: three year olds are old? Or do you think I

476
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: got on camera? Based off the last time that you

477
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: checked your trail cameras, I think you said there was

478
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: one maybe three and a half year old. So this

479
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: time I'm gonna just go with zero. Yeah, it's a

480
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: good guess. I think I've got not much better than that.

481
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: I've got to maybe three year olds. I think I

482
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: think two or three year olds. Um. And actually I

483
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: take that back. I think there's three that are three

484
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: year olds. But one of them is like a really

485
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: funky buck. He's like his antlers. He's not got much

486
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: going in the antler department, but he's got a big

487
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: body and his horns are heavy. But it's like a

488
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: six pointer, like it kind of looks like a four key.

489
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: But there's three of them. Well, there's two forks and

490
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: the little time browd times but massive, like big, heavy

491
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: and tight and tall. Um. But he's got a big

492
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: roddy so I think he's probably three um. And then

493
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: there's an eight pointer who you know, it's not like

494
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: a it's nothing that gets you excited in Iowa. But

495
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: he's a half decent eight point in Michigan, UM, probably

496
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: three year old, maybe one fifteen ish, maybe a little

497
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: higher UM. And then there's a nine pointer who's pretty wide.

498
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: He's probably seventeen inches wide maybe UM. Not a ton

499
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: of time length, but decent bit nice brow times. So

500
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: he's probably he's my best buck. He's probably three, UM,

501
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: he might be pushing one somewhere in the one twenties.

502
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. So nothing that's you know, going to

503
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: get your average big buck hunter. But for Michigan it's

504
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: it's uh, kind of what you expect on most places.

505
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: You know what's cool kind of cool about that, though,

506
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: is you have options and you know, granted you can't

507
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: hunt our or Ohio every day of the season, but

508
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: you can focus on maybe killing some does on your

509
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: property and say to yourself, you know what, I am

510
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: not going to kill a buck this year from what

511
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, unless the slab walks out, I'm just

512
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna let them all go. And therefore you've done your

513
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: part and saying I'm you know, I'm not going to

514
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: kill an immature dear. Yeah, and I'm definitely my my

515
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: main GLO right now. Unless a super giant buck shows

516
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: up or definite older mature buck shows up, he's gonna

517
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: be trying to bring down the dope population. I think

518
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: we've talked about before. Um, but there's a lot of

519
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: dolls on this farm, and I think that's part of

520
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm not seeing as many mature bucks

521
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years is because I think the

522
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: dope population keeps getting out of hand and I've been

523
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: trying to do my part, but obviously not enough. So UM,

524
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna focusing on doughes. But to be honest,

525
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, here in Michigan, a three year old is

526
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: still top ten percent deer most any properties. So if

527
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I get to crack at one of the better three

528
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: year olds, I would take it because in Michigan that's

529
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: something that's that's a good deer still. So that said,

530
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be, you know, investing tons and

531
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: tons of time and obsessing over one of them. And

532
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: I gladly see those bucks make it to another year too,

533
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: But man, I'm just so so disappointed. Last year I

534
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: had two three year olds who would would have been

535
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: really great this year. Um, I was in Michigan at least.

536
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: I was excited for those two to make it through,

537
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't. So that's how it goes, though, yep,

538
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: part of it, you know. I'm I was. I was

539
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: nervous there. I think we talked about a little bit,

540
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: but I was nervous there for a while. Um, I've

541
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: only had two mature bucks show up on my trail

542
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: cameras and for the area that I hunt, Um, that's

543
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: that's so. So you know, it's like, yeah, I do

544
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: have some mature Bucks to chase, but you know, the

545
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: last two seasons, three seasons that I've had him on

546
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: trail camera, they tend to stay nocturnal through the entire season,

547
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: or they go to a different property where I'd never

548
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: see him. So I was a little relieved when I

549
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: pulled my trail camera what like two or three weeks

550
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: ago and got like several big boys back. So I was,

551
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited. Yeah, No, that was an awesome Trump

552
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: camera poll. You've got. I'd say, you've got a good

553
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: set of bucks to you after now, right, So here's

554
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: here's some guy contacts me on Facebook and says, are

555
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: you sure that buck you're calling Mark Kenyon is actually

556
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon. I got a similar message, yep, and uh,

557
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: he was probably the same guy. So he shows me

558
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: a picture of this buck on a different property obviously,

559
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: and I go, well, that could be him. They the

560
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: other property, they call him something different. But um, but

561
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: that left side looks so much like Mark Kenyon, just

562
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: without the junk around the brow times and that's it.

563
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Does the I didn't see the picture that this other

564
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: guy had. Does that picture really look like him? It

565
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: kind of does, mean it looks it looks a little bigger. Um,

566
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: then Mark kennyon was last year, but his antlers look spindlier,

567
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: like they're smaller, So it's like he put on a

568
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: ton of time length. But the mask that kind of

569
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: went away, which historically the year you found his sheds

570
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: and last year he's all mass Yeah, um, you guys

571
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: send that picture to me after after this, I want

572
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: to see that. Yeah. Here here's a question, and this

573
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: is kind of skipping ahead a little bit, but just

574
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: out of curiosity really quick, here, who would you rather

575
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: kill Mark Kenyon or Ryan Iberg Ryan's older body dear

576
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: more history. Mark Kenyon probably is better antler dear. Plus

577
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: there's there's history too, just between those two. Who would

578
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: you rather kill? Well, if it's just between those two,

579
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: i'd really gosh. I don't know there's there's history with both,

580
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: but I guess Ryan Iberg has. I mean the guy

581
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: that was in the tree with me for four years

582
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: and then I filmed him for all of last year. Um.

583
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: He found two sets of his sheds, I found one

584
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: of his antlers. You know, several trail camera pictures of him.

585
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: Just doesn't cooperate during the season. I've seen him one

586
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: time from the tree stand and was like at sixty

587
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: five yards right at last light. UM, So you know

588
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I would have to. That's tough because I if any

589
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: one of them walked by, i'd shoot him, But I

590
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: would if I had, if I had one wish, it

591
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: would probably it would probably be Ryan Eyberd. He's his

592
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: He has a gigantic body and he's so whye he's

593
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: probably twenty three inches inside. I can't blame you, But

594
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: I have another buck I called Tupac that he's a

595
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: he's a giant ten pointer and I shot him two

596
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: years ago and never recovered him. And he's very noticeable

597
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: because he's got a gigantic scar on his back where

598
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: my arrow hit him right And this year he's back

599
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: again for the third year in a row. And I

600
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: would out of all the deer, I would love to

601
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: kill him the most because I've you know, failed once.

602
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to get him. I'd like to be them again. Yeah,

603
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: I can understand that desire for sure. Um. So I

604
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: guess since we're talking about this, let's let's jump right

605
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: to it hit lists here, Um, because you know where

606
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: I want to go now is I want to talk

607
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: through our hit lists that we have so far. I

608
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: want to talk through our plans for this season, you know,

609
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: in detail, and then our goals for the year in general.

610
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: So since we are talked about your bucks a little bit,

611
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: what else do we need to know about the bucks

612
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: that you are hunting this fall? You told us a

613
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: little bit about Tupac, a little bit about Ryan, a

614
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: little about Mark, anything more that's worth sharing? And what

615
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: other bucks do you think you're gonna be targeting? Well,

616
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to tell right now. I've only checked

617
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: my trail cameras two times since May. So I mean,

618
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: I just I am not getting the time. I would

619
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: like to go out and check trail cameras. Um I

620
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: might get I might try to squeeze out and go

621
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: check them again this weekend. Um the river it's we've

622
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: had so much rain in Iowa. These creeks are flooding in.

623
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: One of my main trail camera areas has been underwater

624
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: the entire time. So I don't really want to waste

625
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: mineral and dump it down there just so it gets

626
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: covered up in mud, you know, or have the potential

627
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: for the trail camera to get wet and flood. But

628
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: I just I feel like I'm behind this year. In

629
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: two weeks, I'm going to set up trail cam or

630
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: tree stands, and I get you know, you've got two kids,

631
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: one of them is a baby, one of them's a

632
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: crazy toddler. And it's just I feel like I'm behind.

633
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get. I'm not gonna get, you know,

634
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: seven tree stands hung and trimmed out in two weekends

635
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: or the weekend then I do get to go. So

636
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to rely on a couple of running

637
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: gun sets too, you know, go in there for the

638
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: first time, set it up, and then and then back,

639
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, hunt it once and then back out and

640
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: probably not hunt until they're run. But as far as

641
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: bucks are concerned, you know, there's Tupac, he's the ten

642
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: I hit but never found. There's Ryan Iberg he's just

643
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: a gigantic wide eight. There's Dork he's a really tight

644
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: tons of mass um eight pointer with split brows. And

645
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: then um, there's Mark Kenyon, and there's a and then

646
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: there's one I'm calling Ventura. He's gonna be a main

647
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: frame eleven pointer. Um, he looks like he's a four

648
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: year old. I'm debating on whether or not. Um. I

649
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: actually have trail camera pictures of him last year, um

650
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: with another buck, so his body was definitely a three

651
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: year old last year. And then um, there's only one

652
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: other buck as of right now that I've have that

653
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: I have pictures of, and that's uh um a buck

654
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: Ryan passed last year as a three year old. He's

655
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a four year old maybe a five year

656
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: old this year. Uh. And he's just gotten. He's he's

657
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: all main beam. They go straight up and then they

658
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of come out and it's like they go out

659
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: of his head at a V and then they go

660
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: straightforward and then they have just really small little times,

661
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: so he looks gigantic head on, but then you turn

662
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: and he's really tall. He's really but he's got really

663
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: small antlers or uh G one and G two and

664
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: G three's and then hopefully you know, like last year,

665
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: about the second third week in October, Uh, No Show

666
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Jones shows up and he's that one eight class that

667
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Ryan missed last year. Yeah, that's the one I was

668
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: curious about. No pictures of him yet, no word about him, nope. Um.

669
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, I would like to say that someone would

670
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: have note, you know, noticed him, or would have you

671
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: you would have heard about if a big buck was

672
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: shot this year? Uh in the surrounding area. Uh. And

673
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like a bragging but big

674
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: deer get shot around that area every year and people

675
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: just consider it normal, you know what I mean? So

676
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: maybe I wouldn't have heard about it. You know, I

677
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: did talk to the landowner this year, and she said

678
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: that the shotgun hunters had a good year, So I

679
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. Interesting, So of all those

680
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: bucks you've got, right, is Tupac still number one of

681
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: all those? Or would No Show Jones take the kick

682
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 1: or who's number one? How about this rank rank your

683
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: hit list for me and Dan Well, No Show Jones.

684
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: If he jumped the same amount of inches that he

685
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: did last year, or two thousand and thirteen to two

686
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen, and if he jumps again that same

687
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: size from two thousand and fourteen to two thousand and fifteen,

688
00:36:53,760 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: we're talking a potential two definitely one nineties. So yeah,

689
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to chase and get an opportunity at him.

690
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: And he's he's been on the same path for two

691
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: years in a row. So you know, you know, I

692
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: put my time in these certain spots. I might get

693
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: a crack at him. Um, he's he would Then he

694
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: would be number one, Number two would be Tupac, probably

695
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: number three would be Ryan Iberg, and then number four

696
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: would be Mark Kenyon and then but you know that's

697
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: all hypothetical. All these deer are shooters, and the first

698
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: one that walks by my stand we'll potentially get an arrow.

699
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: So all right, so let me throw another hypothetical atch you.

700
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: All right, Let's say you're hunting, It's it's November, and

701
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: you have been seeing Tupac or No Show Jones, one

702
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: of those two. You've been seeing them like repeatedly. Like

703
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: let's say you've had three encounters with each but always

704
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: just out of range, but they're they're in the area

705
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot. And then you've got like your number five

706
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: buck or number six buck or number four bucks show

707
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: up at twenty yards even though you've been seeing no

708
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: show in tuopocket consistently that the last three days in

709
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: a row, they've been there. You're almost on them, You're

710
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: so close. Do you think you're gonna see the deal

711
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: at any moment? And then number five shows up? What

712
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: do you do? Well, if he's number five, that means

713
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: he's mature and he's made the hit list. Right, So

714
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: here's here's what's happened. I've I've realized the past couple

715
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: of years, I've I've been buck specific um the past

716
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: I want to say, maybe four or five years, and

717
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: I've passed some bucks that even for Iowa would be good,

718
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: you know, And I don't want to say I regret it.

719
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: But I have all these memories and awesome encounters, but

720
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't have the period at the end of the sentence.

721
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: So this year, I am going to shoot, whether it's

722
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: October one or January, I'm going to shoot a mature.

723
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: If it's in front of me and it's mature, I

724
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: don't really care what the antlers look like. It will

725
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: more than likely get get a get an arrow at it. Well,

726
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good goal. Is your is

727
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: your definition of mature five and a half? Well, it's

728
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: it's probably it's four. It's always it's always been four.

729
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: But I really haven't had to make it a distance.

730
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, i'll tell you what. Two thousand eleven or twelve,

731
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: I passed a hundred and fifty ten pointer four year old.

732
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: And I look back at the footage a while ago,

733
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why did I what it was? It

734
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: was the it was the year I was chasing shipwreck

735
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: but already dead. No, it was the year after before

736
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: I shot shipwreck. So I passed him after already having

737
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: an encounter of a shipwreck, right, thinking this shipwreck is

738
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna you know, I'm gonna get another crack at him.

739
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: That year I didn't, So I passed up the biggest

740
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: buck I ever would have killed at three yards. Wow.

741
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: And you've probably seen that footage. I posted it to Facebook.

742
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's uh, it's uh, it's it's hard, you know,

743
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: And It's one of those things where you know a

744
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty if you put if you play your

745
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: cards right in the areas that you know, especially where

746
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: I hunt, you're gonna get an encounter with a four

747
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: year old one fifty class buck. If you put your

748
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: time in, you're gonna it's gonna happen. So I don't know, man,

749
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything for certain because it

750
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: could be how I'm feeling the day the day it

751
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: does happen. But I don't know. I don't know what

752
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: about what? What are your what are your what's your

753
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: goal for Iowa or Ohio this year? So so goals?

754
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: So goals for Ohio and Iowa. Um, in Iowa, the

755
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: top goal is to shoot a four year old? Okay,

756
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to. I mean playing simple. You know, when

757
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: it comes to a hunt like that that's pretty far

758
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: away from home on brand new properties, you know, I

759
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: have no idea what's out there. I don't know the

760
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: properties at all. I'm competing with other hunters. Um, if

761
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I can leave, let stay of Iowa with my tag

762
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: around a four year old, are better? I don't be

763
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: pretty happy? Um I probably you know I would walk

764
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: into the beginning of the season in Iowa, probably with

765
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: like a hundred and forty inch minimum in Iowa, I'd say, um,

766
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna give

767
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: it time. I'm not gonna rush you know, if there's

768
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: a buck that's that could be a four year old,

769
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure kind of if he I'm not

770
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna rush it, I'm gonna wait, I don't know. I'm

771
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: gonna definitely get into the rout. Im gonna hunt the

772
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: rout hard and gonna be there. Um, we'll kind of,

773
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'll bounce around here a little bit, you know,

774
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: let me take a step back actually and first explain

775
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: to you kind of my plan here, and then I'll

776
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: jump back to the goals for those states. But so

777
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: my kind of my tentative plan right now, Dan is

778
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, I've got well that's gonna get really complicated,

779
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: but I've got a whole bunch of hunts going in

780
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: September we can talk about in a minute. Um, but

781
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: when I get back will be just after Ohio opens.

782
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to go to Ohio as soon

783
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: as I can, and then as soon as I'm done

784
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: in Ohio, come home for a weekend, do some hunts

785
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: in my family, try to kill some doughes in Michigan,

786
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: and then somewhere in mid October ish, I'm gonna try

787
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: to get to Iowa. And my goal for that is

788
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: just to check those trial cameras, hang a couple of stands,

789
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: and try to observe those two properties just a little bit,

790
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: just to learn them a little bit. Hey, if I

791
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: happen to be, you know, happen to get a shot

792
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: a deer, great, but it's more so just trying to

793
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: learn that property a little bit more. Um So, Like

794
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: like I was just saying, I'm not going to rush

795
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: it and shoot something that you know definitely doesn't um

796
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: fit the criteria of what I'm trying to do there

797
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: in Iowa, because you know, three years ago, I think,

798
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: is when I first hunted in Iowa, and at that point,

799
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, I hadn't shot a whole bunch of maturity

800
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: or so when I got a chance at what I

801
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: thought was a good three or four year old, decent buck,

802
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: I shot him. And it wasn't by any means a

803
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: giant Iowa buck, but it was it was a nice dear,

804
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: It was a dear. It made me happy, so I

805
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: took him this year. Now that I'm going back, I'm

806
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: much more interested in waiting it out, putting in the time,

807
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: and being picky. So definitely won a four year old.

808
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: But for the first month or two of the season

809
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: October and all the way in November, I'm probably gonna

810
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: pretty darn picky. Um. I think the potential out there

811
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: um is enough that if I hunt smart and I

812
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: take my time, I've got a chance of a you know,

813
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: maybe my biggest buck ever. So I'm gonna try to

814
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: do that and hope that. I think it's gonna force

815
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: me to really learn a lot. I think it's gonna

816
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: be a challenge learning these two properties. That's going to

817
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: be exciting for me and you. It's a challenge that

818
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: it will make me a better hunter. I think if

819
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: I go by it the right way. So I want

820
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: to take that on. I don't want to kind of

821
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: skimp out easy. I don't want to shoot a one

822
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: thirty on the second day and just be done with it.

823
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: I really want to sink my teeth into this and

824
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: and see what happens. So that's my goal in Iowa.

825
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one piece of advice. Let's hear it,

826
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: and it's something that someone like you, who you know,

827
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have access. I mean even even I I get

828
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: a hunt the same property over and over. This is

829
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna be your first year and you're going to be,

830
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, coming coming to Iowa. You know, quote unquote

831
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: Lane of the Giants. You're gonna be on a from

832
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: what you've already explained to me, a decent farm, which,

833
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: as we all know, whole you know you're it's just

834
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: a matter of time before you're either trail camera picks

835
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: it up or you see it from the stand. So

836
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: do not, by any means start over analyzing and questioning

837
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: yourself on what your move should be. You gotta be

838
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: a This is how I'm going to play my cards

839
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: this year. I'm gonna be as aggressive as possible, as

840
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: aggressive as possible in the safest way, if that makes sense.

841
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to be stupid about my

842
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: decision making. But you know, I think, and I've heard

843
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: you talk about it a little bit, you know, on

844
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: conversations off the air, But I think my problem, and

845
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: sounds like your problem a little bit is too, is

846
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: is maybe letting an opportunity slide by because we were

847
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: sitting there questioning it instead of going saying, I see,

848
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: I saw a hot dog being chased by a three

849
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: year old out of this betting area. Well, if if

850
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: the doll came out of that betting area, that means

851
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: another buck's going to come down wind a bit and

852
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: check it. I need to be there, So instead of

853
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: sitting back another day and watching it happen, you go

854
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I think I think you're spotted on.

855
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna be more aggressive this year too. And

856
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: but the you know, to your point a second ago

857
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: about not over analyzing things, I'll try, but it's hard.

858
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: It's it's it's me. I am an over analyzer. Um,

859
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: So it's trying to find that balance. Um but I

860
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: I can already tell like I'm I'm already obsessing over

861
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: these maps and like trying to study them to the

862
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: t and figure that that's, in my opinion, that's not

863
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: over analyzing. Over Analyzing comes at the moment of truth,

864
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 1: at the time of the decision. So it's November five,

865
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: you are trying to make a decision on where to hunt.

866
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: You're you're sitting there going, well, what about this? Well,

867
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: what about this? What about this? And I don't think

868
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 1: as hunters we use our gut and our instinct enough,

869
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, because other predators out and out there, they

870
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: don't have Google Maps, they don't know what the wind

871
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: direction is, you know, They kind of they have to

872
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: go by their instincts. And I think that that's something

873
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: humans don't you use as much, and that we hunters

874
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: need to. I can't argue that. I think it's true.

875
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: And I think this is gonna be a conversation that

876
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be having for you know, the

877
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: next four months or whatever, once October hits. I'm sure

878
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna be going through this, and I'm sure I'm

879
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna have some struggle. I'm guaranteed I'm gonna have some

880
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: days where I'm struggling. I feel like I cannot figure

881
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: this place out. And then there'll be some days probably

882
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna come on the air and I'm like

883
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: I learned something, Like there's gonna be some lightbulb moments,

884
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be some days and I probably make

885
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: the wrong move, and there's gonna be some days that

886
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: maybe I make the right move. Um and I can

887
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: guarantee there's gonna be some days I wa be pissed

888
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: in order and stressed, and but I think in the end,

889
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be fun. It wasn't the last episode,

890
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: but it was the two previous episodes where we talked

891
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: to Um was Mark jury and uh, don Kiski right,

892
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: and Drury was all about Hey, pressure systems, weather patterns,

893
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: all these things. You know, folks, you know, gotta gotta

894
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: keep it out for the moon phase and all that stuff.

895
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: And that's great if you can drop what you're doing

896
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: at you know, drop everything that you're doing and go hunt.

897
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: You know a majority of people have jobs and they

898
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: really can't do that, and you know, all that stuff

899
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: is good information to know, and if you're a serious hunter,

900
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: I you know, I definitely recommend it. But then you

901
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: have Don Kiski where he's like, you know, temperature and

902
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: wind direction are the most important things because you obviously

903
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: don't want to get busted, you know, via wind, but

904
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: the pressure of the moon phase. You're gonna be hunting anyway,

905
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: So why why get worked up and worry about it

906
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: if it's not really going to affect the decision on

907
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: where you hunt. Does that make sense? It does? I mean,

908
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: they definitely have two different takes. I personally have a

909
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: preferential way of going about it. I lean more towards

910
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: the Drury side of things, um, because I am picky

911
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: about when I hunt in certain areas. Like you know,

912
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more in the camp of being careful about

913
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: the pressure, about my personal hunting pressure I'm putting on.

914
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I like to wait until the right

915
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: conditions to go into those best spots. So I'm kind

916
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: of half Drewy half kissy, right, And I'm sure Drewy

917
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: is the same way in this. You know, when he

918
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have the right weather, just like down, he's still hunting,

919
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: he just might not be in his best places. But

920
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: then when he does get those factors that we talked

921
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: about to become, you know, the optimal conditions, then he

922
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: dives into place X. So that's more of what I do.

923
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting. I think the point at

924
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,479
Speaker 1: least that I'm taking from what you're saying is that

925
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to skin this cat, and

926
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: you don't need to get too worked up on it

927
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of ways that can work right.

928
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: But what what I guess who I'm who I'm trying

929
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: to talk to is that guy who has one week

930
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: vacation or two weeks vacation, you know, and they may

931
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: not be able to you know, they're busy during the

932
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: weekends of October. You know, they can't up what they're

933
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: doing and go hunt a cold front that's coming on

934
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: a Tuesday morning or Tuesday afternoon in mid October, you

935
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They can't do it. They have

936
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: to wait for the rut to hit. They have let's say,

937
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: one week or two weeks of vacation, it's really not

938
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: beneficial for them to too. Maybe hunt uh high pressure

939
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: system if you know, if the wind's right but the

940
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: pressure maybe really low. You're gonna want to hunt a

941
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: good stand anyway. Because it's November, or just because the

942
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: moon phase isn't optimal based off the readings, you don't

943
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: want to really consider that because it's the rut and

944
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna be hunting anyway, you know what I mean. Yeah,

945
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with that. The rut Trump's all and

946
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: when you're limited on time, you've gotta be out there

947
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: right right at that point. But I also think right.

948
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: And I also think that as hunters, the more information

949
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, So it's good to know these things and

950
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: have them in the back of your head head so

951
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: when the time is right and you can start seeing

952
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: patterns and you can go, hey, this there is a

953
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: high pressure front coming. The moon phase is optimal for this.

954
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: I am going to be in this stand at this

955
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: one direction and now all that all the cards are

956
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: stacked in your favor. You know, it's good to know that.

957
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: But it's one of those things that I think all

958
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: this knowledge, you know, knowledge is power, all these things

959
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: kind of it's just another thing to think of when

960
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: it may not be in your best interest to think

961
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: about or use that information to make a decision. Yeah,

962
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: you gotta have a filter, right, But but yeah, I

963
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: definitely like my rant that it's good rant. I like it.

964
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: I think it's important to have, you know, realistic expectations

965
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: of how you can use this stuff too and not

966
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: get too worked up. At the same time by knowing

967
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: some of these things, like in this situation you just described.

968
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: If I know that these things are lining up, I'm

969
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: gonna be hunting. Hey, you know number one, it gives

970
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: you some more confidence and every time, you have more confidence.

971
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: And when you're hunting, the more confidence you're have in

972
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: a certain hunt, in a certain sit, the more likely

973
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on your a game. You're gonna have

974
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: that little extra edge, You're gonna be paying attention just

975
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And when it comes to hunting

976
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: mature box, that little tiny bit of even added attention

977
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: can sometimes make the difference. You know, It's it's the

978
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: little stuff, um that I'm jack. I'm freaking jack right now.

979
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: Like I could go roll a car over. I want

980
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: to hunt so bad right now. I'm not gonna go

981
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: that far, but I do. I do want another beer

982
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: if that counts intermission. This would be a perfect time

983
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: for for the sick of commercial commercial you have and

984
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,120

988
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: doing all year, we've got sick of Product category leader

989
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: Dennis is Uck with us today and with hunting season

990
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: quickly approaching and many of us looking to pick up

991
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: some new gear before hunting. I want to get dentist's

992
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: recommendation on what sick of products might be good ones

993
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: to start with if you're looking to try it out

994
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: without breaking the bank. So here's dentist's take. Yeah, and

995
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we all work for a living.

996
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: I work for a living, and you know when I'm

997
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: looking at that, and I'm just trying to get the most,

998
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: the most out of that, you know, my hard earned dollar. Um.

999
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Strato system is a great

1000
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: example for that. You know, it's something that I can

1001
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: I can add a layer two, I can take a

1002
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: layer away, I can reconfigure if I need to not

1003
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: wear the jacket, just wear the pant. You know, I

1004
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: can do a lot with that system in a layering

1005
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: aspect and get a lot out of it. You know,

1006
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: the pockets are built so that they're you know, they're

1007
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: fairly straightforward. A couple of chest pockets, a couple of

1008
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: side pockets that still get your hunter passed through. But UM,

1009
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: I think that system is something you're gonna you're gonna

1010
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: put on. You're gonna experience what good technologies do, what

1011
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 1: good materials do. Um, how much more comfortable I stay

1012
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: in the woods um and you can add to it

1013
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: and you can continue to move it. You can grab

1014
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: that Solsias jack in next and throw it underneath articulator

1015
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: into the season. So for me, I think the strata

1016
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: system is something that's gonna just help you know, that

1017
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: guy bridge the chasm the first time, you know, and

1018
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: come into Sika. Are there any accessories that you would say,

1019
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: like the first ones that is their hat or a

1020
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: set of gloves or anything else like that that you

1021
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: would make sure to pick up two if if I

1022
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: had the money to add those on. Yeah, and you know,

1023
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: so funny like on the glove side, you know, just

1024
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: kind of for for the bow hunter guy especially. You know,

1025
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: one of my cheapest gloves is my fanatic Love because

1026
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: it isn't about making the most expensive system, It's about

1027
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 1: being focused. So I think the fanatic Love is something

1028
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: that if you're if you're an archery guy, you should

1029
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: absolutely own that glove. You know, it looks like that

1030
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: one years ago I cut a couple of fingers off

1031
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: of and hunted out of. But you know it's a

1032
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: little better than that now. You know, we put we

1033
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: put something make into it um and then from a

1034
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: hat perspective, The stratas hats fantastic, you know, so it

1035
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: matches that system. In fact, there's times that I'll wear

1036
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: that stratatatan instead of my fanatic at you know. So

1037
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: I think I think those couple of accessories are are

1038
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: are big, you know, if you want to add those

1039
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: pieces to kind of make sure you have the kit,

1040
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: which we talk about all the time. So for interest

1041
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: in trying the stress jacket, pant or hat or the

1042
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: fanatic gloves, visit sit Ka gear dot com. And now

1043
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 1: back to the show. Um so what would be next?

1044
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: Oh so goals we talked about Iowa. My goals um

1045
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: Ohio will be slightly different because in Iowa, you know,

1046
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a little bit picky, but in the end,

1047
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: it's just gonna come down to a four year old,

1048
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, if it gets to the end of November

1049
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: and it's just not happening and I'm not seeing you know,

1050
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: this kind of Iowa giant that maybe I've been pining

1051
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: for the last two months. If it comes to the

1052
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: later in the year and if I can get a

1053
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: crack at on mature Buck, I'll be super happy with

1054
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: that too. And so so that'll be where that's at

1055
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: with Iowa, because it's not easy to go into a

1056
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: new state and new properties and always figure it out.

1057
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: So in Ohio can be slightly different. Um again, I'm

1058
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, having the cut off at the

1059
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: four year old mark, definitely when she was a four

1060
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: year old UM or older. But I'm gonna be I think,

1061
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, more bucks specific in Ohio. Um Now, right now,

1062
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure who made Who's back this

1063
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: year because I haven't got to check my Ohio trail cameras.

1064
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: But I'm checking them next weekend, So not next week,

1065
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: but the week after that episode, I'll have an update

1066
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: on my Ohio trail cameras and that will make a

1067
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: big difference obviously in what plans are. But you know,

1068
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: perfect scenario, perfect world, Glenn is back, Junkyards back, the

1069
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 1: Beast is back. Um. Any one of those three would

1070
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: be just a phenomenal, life changing buck to kill because

1071
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: they were all Boone and Crockett caliber bucks last year, um,

1072
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: if not significantly higher, and they were all four year

1073
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: olds or older. Last year two of them were five

1074
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: or six, so um, this year they're all gonna be

1075
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 1: five year older. They're all gonna be giants, and they're

1076
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: all gonna have a pretty significant history on my farm.

1077
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: Glenn obvious see the most. We've talked about it a

1078
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: lot um, But if he's around by by all means

1079
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the one him after. Since uh I

1080
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: missed him twice, I've seen him three years in a row,

1081
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: two years in a row. This would be a third year.

1082
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: I've got hundreds of pictures of him. So really I'm

1083
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: hopeful that Ohio it can be a single buck hunt.

1084
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: I've really come to enjoy learning one buck, developing a relationship,

1085
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, in that hunter prey kind of way, and

1086
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to get close enough to

1087
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: get a shot. That would be you know, a successful

1088
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: season in Ohio by all, without a doubt, would be

1089
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: getting hunt one of those guys closely and having some

1090
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: close calls and hopefully getting killed one. That would be incredible. Um,

1091
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: if they're all gone for some reason this year, then

1092
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: it will be you know, I want to shoot a

1093
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: nice four year old or bigger um because I know

1094
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: that property can produce dear like that consistently that area.

1095
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: So so that's what how it looks like. But I'm hopeful. Um,

1096
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: even though it's a small property, it's it's just in

1097
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: a it's in a good location. So um, I know

1098
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: if I'm there enough, I should have a crack at one. Right,

1099
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: it's all excited. You need to backtrack a bit because

1100
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: we have you're going to two others. You're going to

1101
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Idaho with me on our mule deer hunt and that's

1102
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: what like twenty two days, so that fast. It's you're

1103
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: picking me up on August. How crazy is that? Oh

1104
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: my god. I'm like, I I don't even know like

1105
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: I have. I'm looking at this bed behind me, and

1106
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: I have all my stuff. I don't even have everything

1107
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,919
Speaker 1: I need quite yet. Um, but you know I got

1108
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: my sick of gear, I got my uh mountain pantry

1109
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: whatever food, I got my game bags, I got you know,

1110
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: all the stuff, the camp, the tent, the trekking, polls,

1111
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff I got now and I'm just like,

1112
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's it's becoming a reality fast. And

1113
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to watch what I eat. I'm

1114
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: trying to I'm trying to, you know, get my heart

1115
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: rate up every day. I'm trying to, you know, hit

1116
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: the gym as you know as much as I can,

1117
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know. How do you How do you

1118
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: feel about your how do you feel about the hunt?

1119
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: Are you just excited or are you a little bit

1120
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: nervous or any What are your emotions about this whole

1121
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: thing coming up? Because this is brand new for you, right,

1122
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is big, big country, and you've seen

1123
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: the maps where we've decided to hunt, and I've been there. Yeah, yeah,

1124
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: Like my my expectation is not I don't have an

1125
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: expectation because my goal is to first survive, you know,

1126
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: get to the get up first. We got to worry

1127
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: about the road that gets back there. Everybody says it's

1128
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: fine once we get back there, and then we have

1129
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: like a mile and a half even if this is

1130
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: what we've decided, a mile and a half hike up

1131
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 1: that I think there's maybe uh an eight hundred foot

1132
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 1: elevation gain throughout where we park our car to where

1133
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: we're camping. Then there's another, um, you know, like four

1134
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: to six hundred foot elevation gain from our camp to

1135
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: where we're gonna start glassing. And then you know, the

1136
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: area is gigantic, you know, And I've never I've never

1137
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: hunted mule there. I don't know really what they do

1138
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 1: out there, uh, in that in that high country. But man,

1139
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going balls out and I'm gonna do

1140
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: whatever I can try to get to try to get

1141
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: one most important, most important is to just absorb that

1142
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: nature in this experience, because I've seen the pictures and

1143
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: it is absolutely gorgeous out there. Yeah, it's I cannot

1144
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: guarantee that you will be comfortable, right. I cannot guarantee

1145
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: that you will be miserable at times. Right. I cannot

1146
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: guarantee you that will see dear or that will kill deer, right,

1147
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: But I can guarantee you but by the time it's done,

1148
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: you will have had an awesome time and saw some

1149
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: incredible things in places. So well, I'll tell you what

1150
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I am. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. I mean, that's

1151
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: what this trips. It's about going outside of your comfort

1152
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: zone and doing something different. That's what life is about.

1153
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: And if I'm uncomfortable, man, I'm uncomfortable. You know. If

1154
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: I can't be Cameron Haynes and you know run a

1155
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: three hundred pound rock up the side of a mountain,

1156
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: I can't do that, you know, but but what I

1157
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: can do is that can go slow and face myself

1158
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: and make those decisions based off how you know, and

1159
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: there's no way to tell unless I'm actually up there. Yeah,

1160
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: so that's the right attitude to have going into it.

1161
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I think for sure. All I wanna do is just

1162
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: get a ton of pictures that I can have for

1163
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the rest of my life and be like, this is,

1164
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: here's a picture of my camp. This is my hunting

1165
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: buddy Mark, this is you know, the view from day

1166
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: one glass and you know, and just have those memories

1167
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: to show my kids because I don't know, this is

1168
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: this kind of off topic, but I hate rotting in

1169
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: a cubicle. And you know, from where you're at, from

1170
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: where you were to where you're at, you know, you

1171
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: had your life changing experience. This this is how I

1172
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: have my life changing experiences. You know. I sit and

1173
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: stare at two computer screens all day long about stuff

1174
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: that may or may not interest me. But I don't know.

1175
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: It's just this, this is my dream and it's coming

1176
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: true and and I just have to absorb it. Yeah,

1177
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna you're gonna, You're gonna have a blast. I'm excited.

1178
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited for you to get out there. And and

1179
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I can definitely relate. I certainly had that same adding

1180
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: any cubicle misery for a long time too. And I

1181
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: know how much you know, just I'm sure you do this.

1182
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I do this all the time. You just sit at

1183
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: your desk, you know, rotting in the fluorescent light, looking

1184
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: at these pictures and looking at maps and just dreaming

1185
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: about being out there and dreaming of doing that stuff

1186
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the whole time and just kind of like obsess over it. Um,

1187
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: when it finally happens, this is it's incredible. So it's

1188
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I I will say for me, you know,

1189
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: even though I've done, you know, several mountain hunts, even

1190
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: though I lived out there in the past two months

1191
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,919
Speaker 1: and we we just figured out we camped twenty nine nights.

1192
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: We're in our tent twenty nine nights. Over the past

1193
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: two months. We hiked I think over a hundred fifty miles.

1194
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: And there's one other thing we figured out, but I

1195
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: can't remember what it was. But so we did a

1196
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: lot of stuff out there. Um, I'm even a little

1197
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: intimidated by this country. Um, so I I think I'll

1198
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: probably even be miserable trying to get up to some

1199
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: of this stuff. Because, um man, even though you know,

1200
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: like you said, that we found this road and this

1201
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: little two track that we can take back, there are

1202
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: ways into this national forest. And like you said, that's

1203
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: even you know, if we don't know how far bill get.

1204
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Um but even if we can get all the way

1205
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: as far as we hope we can get. And it's

1206
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: even though at that point it's a relatively short hike

1207
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: into some of these basins, it's it's not gonna be

1208
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: easy hike. And that's for sure. And I keep, I

1209
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: keep thinking back till last year when I killed my

1210
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: elk and the hikes in and out with that thing

1211
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,959
Speaker 1: on my back, and I that has now influenced every

1212
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: decision I make that because I just think about how

1213
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: it felt like there are two meat hooks into my

1214
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: shoulders that someone was pulling down with all their strength

1215
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: for eight twelve hours. And uh, I imagine that happening again.

1216
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: So it'll be it'll be miserable times, but it'll be awesome,

1217
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: but it's inexperiencing. Yeah, you know, it's that what's that

1218
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: level three on the fun meter? It will be definitely

1219
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: two if not three, will definitely be living in that

1220
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: gray area between. I imagine, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.

1221
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: So so your first older hunt and then I'm assuming

1222
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean Nebraska. I was out there hunting nule deer,

1223
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: but this is that's Nebraska. And although the terrain was

1224
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: up and down, up and down, there wasn't the elevation,

1225
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: there wasn't the thin oxygen um. This is a Western hunt,

1226
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I don't know. I'm

1227
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: just I'm trying to read up. I'm trying to prepare

1228
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: myself mentally. Like you know, if if you're willing to

1229
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: sit in a tree stand for however many hours, you've

1230
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: got to be willing to do what. I don't know.

1231
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: It's just like the mountain that you're on doesn't care

1232
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: about you at all. You know, it's there as an

1233
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: obstacle and you have to use your your mental toughness

1234
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: to beat it. In it it doesn't get beat very often,

1235
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's the truth. It's going

1236
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: to be. It's going to be an experience and it's

1237
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna We're definitely gonna share with all our listeners everything

1238
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: that happens um on a podcast episode right after that,

1239
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: so keep you keep your ears tuned in for that.

1240
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll be uh hopefully we'll survive. Hopefully there will

1241
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: be a podcast after after that, um, assuming we do

1242
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: survive that and there was a podcast episode after that.

1243
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: I'll be coming home for a week after our mule

1244
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: deer hunt kind of wedding to go to. And then

1245
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm going back out to Idaho with another one of

1246
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: my friends to do our outcunting trip, same place we

1247
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: did the past two years. Uh, so I'm hopeful that

1248
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'll be able to repeat. Um. You know that's unlikely,

1249
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give them my best. And I figured

1250
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: I think I feel like we are. We're learning a lot,

1251
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: we're figuring out um, so you know, we'll see what

1252
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: happens there. I'm excited about that. And then I come

1253
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: back for a day and then I'm actually going to

1254
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Oregon four hunt um and this is kind of unexpected, um,

1255
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: but my contacts at the Cross Boots, you know, our

1256
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: partners there, um, they also owned Danner Boots, and they

1257
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: invited me to come out and check out their headquarters

1258
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: in Portland, Oregon to learn a little bit more about

1259
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: what they're doing with their boots and to do a

1260
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: little hunt with them in eastern Oregon. So I couldn't

1261
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: say no to that. So that's going to be at

1262
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: the end of September. We're gonna do that, a short

1263
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: trip out there, meet some good people, I'm sure, and

1264
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: have some fun, and then I get back, like opening day,

1265
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I get back the opener of Ohio's boat season for

1266
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: white Tails. So as soon as I can get away

1267
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: from here, I'll be heading Ohio and then starting the

1268
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: whole white tail straight. We just talked about so nice,

1269
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: and that's when our our wives kinda have to realize

1270
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: their number two has to say that out loud. Dan, Well,

1271
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: my wife knows and she's fine with it right now.

1272
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: And then as that that two week rough vacation kind

1273
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: of you know, for you it's different, you know, no kids,

1274
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: no problems, right, So for me, that r vacation starts

1275
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: and it's oh, hey, how did you do? The phone

1276
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: call every night? It's like turns from how you do?

1277
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: How you do? Oh? He's all about good? Oh? Cool?

1278
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Going there? It slowly slides into you see anything, all right, Well,

1279
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you later. Then that towards the end

1280
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: of that two week vacation, it's when are you coming home?

1281
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: When are you coming home? They know when you're coming home,

1282
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: but they don't care what are you coming home? Even

1283
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: even without kids, I still get that same thing. But

1284
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I can't imagine now that you've got two

1285
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: of them, it's going to be even more difficult. I'm

1286
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: sure I'm gonna I'm gonna get some help from family,

1287
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know, I'm gonna have a nice like

1290
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: forgetting that. Jesus Christ. I don't want to talk about

1291
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: it because I'll just like my wife's gonna be pissed

1292

1309
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. My goal is to and I

1310
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,440
Speaker 1: got a really good feeling about this this egg field

1311
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: where I'm getting all these big boys. Can you can

1312
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: you tell me a little bit about that since uh

1313
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 1: I've been there. Which one is this? This is where

1314
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: um me and Corey found the match set. So it's

1315
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: where the very first walk we did, where we walked

1316
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: that that corn bean field, and that's where there's that

1317
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: little scraggly tree that you said in last year and

1318
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: you saw a big nine pointer in October right right right,

1319
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: so that that big grass buffer strip that we walked. Okay,

1320
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: that's not where I'm gonna set up. I'm gonna set up.

1321
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: There's a little um terrorists with some trees in it,

1322
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: and that's where I'm going to set up. And it's

1323
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: gonna be while the crops are still in. And I'm

1324
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: telling you right now, I feel that that that corn

1325
01:10:55,479 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: slash bean field and that that area is holds a

1326
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: ton of mature. It's eighty acres. And that strip last year, no,

1327
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: two years ago, when it was the same crop rotation,

1328
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: corn on the south end being in the north, I

1329
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: walked in there just to check it out and I

1330
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: bumped like one seventy one fifty and they were all

1331
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: still kind of like in a bachelor group and then

1332
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 1: a smaller buck. So this year, same crop situation. I

1333
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: got this trail camera up now, so I'm starting to

1334
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: see where they're working through the corn. And I got

1335
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: this area where this little narrow pinch comes together the corn.

1336
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Does they stay in the corn. And I'm gonna set

1337
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: my tree stand up there where I'm gonna have a

1338
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: shot in this bean field and a shot in actually

1339
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,879
Speaker 1: into the corn field. And if I say my prayers

1340
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: and I get there on the right wind condition, I

1341
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: feel that I'm gonna have an encounter with a big

1342
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: mature buck the first weekend that I can hunt. So

1343
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: here's no question for you. Yeah, are you gonna go

1344
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: in there that first week and you can hunt? You know,

1345
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: if it's a kind of a hot day, You've got

1346
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: a decent wind, but the weather is not great, all

1347
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the other conditions aren't right. Or are you gonna wait

1348
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: because he feels like that spot so good that you're

1349
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna wait untill a couple of these other things line up.

1350
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 1: So here's so here's the the problem with that area.

1351
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Crops come out, dear go away right. So I have

1352
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: to make sure I know when the comp the farmers

1353
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: are gonna combine, because when he goes in, he's pushing

1354
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: all those dear to the south and they either have

1355
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to come loop back around or they I don't know,

1356
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: they're already out out of there by then. I just

1357
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: have to make sure that I beat the the I

1358
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: have enough time to get a tree stand up. I

1359
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 1: think what I'm gonna do is put an observation stand

1360
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: back further away from where I want to hunt. Watch

1361
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: these watch the deer movement. See where they're at and

1362
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: then and then make a move in because regardless of

1363
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: it of if it's hot or not, they feel so comfortable.

1364
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I got daylight pictures already of all those bucks.

1365
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, granted, granted that that things change, you know

1366
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 1: what I mean, from the time that uh, from August

1367
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: to October, But who knows. Man, I there's nothing really

1368
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: to do except go in and try it, That's the truth,

1369
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: because once the crops are out, those bucks are going

1370
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: to go find someplace else, which means that's good for me.

1371
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: It just eliminates one gigantic piece of property that I

1372
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: don't need to worry about anymore. So do you only

1373
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: get one tag in Iowa for archer? Is that right?

1374
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:46,799
Speaker 1: So I can get my archery tag, right, And then

1375
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: if I was a landowner, I can get one, which

1376
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm not, so I can't get that lane owner tag.

1377
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 1: But I can also get a late season muzzleloader tag

1378
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and I can use my boat for that, so I

1379
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 1: could literally shoot two box. It's a primitive weapons tag,

1380
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: so you could. It's a muzzle, they call it a

1381
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: muzzle over season, but you can use your bow. I'm

1382
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: pretty sure for that that late season um, so technically

1383
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I can shoot a buck with my bow, a buck

1384
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: with a muzzleloader, and then a shotgun buck. So you

1385
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: can shoot I think you can shoot three bucks, you know,

1386
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,440
Speaker 1: I will without being a landowner and then a landowner

1387
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: tag on top of that. But I've never been into

1388
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. I'm going to. I don't know when

1389
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: a muzzleloader I'm gonna give it a shot. I think, well,

1390
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: hopefully this is the first. Maybe this year you'll have

1391
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: to make that question because you'll fill your archidega. Okay,

1392
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: you never know, man, I'll tell you what I'm I'm

1393
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: pumped and have we have? We said that enough people

1394
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,639
Speaker 1: out there listening? Can you tell we're excited. It's It's

1395
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's just like now that

1396
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here talking to you is when it really

1397
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: starts to bubble up, you know, because I've been so

1398
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 1: preoccupied with work, with family. You know, I try to

1399
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: shoot my bow as much as possible. You know, four

1400
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: times a week is is pretty good for me. You know.

1401
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Ben from HUNTERA was over what two nights ago, and

1402
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: we shot it went pretty good. We we had to

1403
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:20,440
Speaker 1: make shift. We gotta make shift range in our backyard

1404
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: that goes up to uh sixty yards, so we were

1405
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: letting him fly at sixty. Then we got into UH

1406
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: got into the truck and started driving around some public

1407
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: and private land around down where I live and saw

1408
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: a ton of deer out, tons of does um, A

1409
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 1: couple of good bucks, you know. I think the biggest

1410
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: one we saw maybe maybe a four year old um.

1411
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: But saw a lot of a lot of deer um.

1412
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: The county I live in is has high numbers, so

1413
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: which is cool. I can I tell you about my

1414
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: plans today after we get done recording. I'm pretty plaints today. Yeah,

1415
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty damn excited. Okay, it's gonna be pretty similar

1416
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 1: to what you've in bended. I'm going to eat dinner

1417
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: after this, and then I'm gonna shoot my bow and

1418
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,560
Speaker 1: my new targets for a little bit. I'm going to

1419
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: drive a four wheeler out we hopefully that the four

1420
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: wheelers battery has been charging. Hopefully the batter's recharged. I'm

1421
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna go out to that property and put new SD

1422
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: cards in those and UH do a couple of maintenance

1423
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: things on them, and then I'm gonna do a deer

1424
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: drift here in Michigan and I'm gonna hopefully see some bucks.

1425
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna a deer drive, meaning you're going to walk

1426
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: through the mill of your everything. You go, Okay, I

1427
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 1: mean I'm gonna get in my truck and I'm gonna

1428
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: drive around the roads and hopefully see some deer in

1429
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: the fields. Yeah. So I'm excited about that because I

1430
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: haven't got to do that at all. Well, I did

1431
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: do that in Iowa two nights ago twice. Um. When

1432
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: I was out there and I saw the first night,

1433
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: we saw some good ones. We saw like a one

1434
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: fifty something and then a couple in the one forties. Um,

1435
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: So it was fun as fun as it got, got

1436
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: a little bit good footage, So it was nice to see. Um.

1437
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: But who knows. It's always fun to do it here

1438
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: in Michigan too. And Kyla will come with me and

1439
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: we'll take, you know, take Lice a little drive. So

1440
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: I got a question for you. Have you do you

1441
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: have your tree stands already hung in Ohio or do

1442
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: you have to do a tree stand day? So I've

1443
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: got most of the stands hung. Um, well I think

1444
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: all of our stands are hung. Um, I do need

1445
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: to put new steps on one of them, and I

1446
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: need to trim them. So when I go there next

1447
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 1: next weekend, I'm gonna here's the plan for next next weekend.

1448
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave Friday afternoon, once my buddy Corey can

1449
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: get out of work. We're gonna try to get to

1450
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: the property early enough that I can hop out of

1451
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: the truck and sneak in with my camera and set

1452
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: up and try to film this property. Because this property

1453
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: the next door we've got beans, So I'll try to

1454
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,560
Speaker 1: sit out there that night and film and hopefully some

1455
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: of the big boys will come out and feed that night.

1456
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: The next day, well, we're gonna pull those trail camera

1457
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: cards when I walk out, and the next day I'm

1458
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna spend the day Triman Tree Stands checking on all

1459
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: all and make sure the straps are good, make sure

1460
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: they're all set, do all that maintenance stuff, put some

1461
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: new steps up, and then that night we're just going

1462
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: to drive around the neighborhood and hopefully see a couple

1463
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: of the good ones too. So that's the plan, But

1464
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: not too much more work that's to be done there.

1465
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: We've got to rearrange the cameras a little bit. I'm

1466
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: gonna shift the trail camera locations. Um. Since I won't

1467
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: be coming back at all in September, I want to

1468
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 1: put them in location to be taking good pictures in September.

1469
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: So I'll start moving them a little bit. But that's

1470
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: the game plan. It's nice. I think we don't think

1471
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this yet, but damn it. I'm excited. Oh

1472
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Um. Yeah, there's a

1473
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: buck that I named for you on one of your

1474
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: properties that I don't know if it was Ohio or Michigan.

1475
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: I remember I named him Boner City. Yes, I do.

1476
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to whatever happened to Boner? He is he

1477
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: out there? You know? When we hadn't never talked about

1478
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: him on the air, but four and I always stopped

1479
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: my head whenever we talked about my heir, we'd call

1480
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 1: him b C. But it's too late. Now, it's too late,

1481
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Like that's out of the bad. Don't matter. There's no

1482
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: rating on the internet. Oh no, I've heard some crazy

1483
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: things on the internet. No, we're good. We're good. So

1484
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: he disappeared. I got I got pictures of him twice

1485
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:30,480
Speaker 1: last summer. Who disappeared? You're an asshole? Voter City disappeared

1486
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: last year. He there goes a sponsors there, it all goes.

1487
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: You got place, you get a place in your house,

1488
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: I can stay. Um. I got pictures him twice and

1489
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: that was it. Never saw during the season, no pictures

1490
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: of him. Nothing. I got another really nice ten pointer

1491
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: last summer too one time, but he was gone to son.

1492
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: It was just like between last year and this year.

1493
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, I've i've I've moaned about it. Things went

1494
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,560
Speaker 1: downhill here. I don't know what happened, but um, for

1495
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: a while there, it's like every year is getting better,

1496
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 1: and I felt like, you know, I was having a

1497
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 1: management impact. I felt because I was passing on a

1498
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: lot of dear. I've been talking to my neighbors and

1499
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: we talked about them passing on more deer. Things have

1500
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: been been improving year after year. You know, in two

1501
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen, I had like five shooters on the property.

1502
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: One was like a booner, One was in the foe forties.

1503
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 1: Now it was in the one thirties. Um, a couple

1504
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: in the one thirties. So it was like looking good.

1505
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: Then last year just just they disappeared, and now this

1506
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: year it doesn't look much different, So I don't know,

1507
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. They got options, though, I mean,

1508
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 1: you're not You're not limited to just Michigan, so I

1509
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: guess be thankful for that, right, Yeah, Yeah, and you know,

1510
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Michigan's great state. I'm gonna have fun hunting does here,

1511
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be you know, when I am home.

1512
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to kind of play with it, play with

1513
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: the bucks here a little bit. I'm gonna be much

1514
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: more aggressive here because I'm not so concerned. I'm gonna

1515
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: try some new things and get kind of crazy with

1516
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:58,560
Speaker 1: it and just see. You know, if I happen to

1517
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 1: get a crack of one of the deer also, but

1518
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: if I spook him and bust up the whole place,

1519
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the end of the world for

1520
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: me here because because like you said, I've got options.

1521
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: So when are you and the wife move into a

1522
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: different state? Man, I'm sure I'm sure that conversation has

1523
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: come up. Oh, it happens a lot. The thing is

1524
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: is that you know, both me and my wife really

1525
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: enjoy a lot of different kinds of outdoor recreation. She especially,

1526
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: like you know, we both especially love the mountain stuff.

1527
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: So hiking, backpacking, camping, fly fishing, all that stuff. Everything

1528
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: we're doing this summer like we love um and Kylie

1529
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: really loves all that and the culture and everything out there.

1530
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,679
Speaker 1: I am the only one who really loves the deer stuff.

1531
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: So I think if we were ever to move, I

1532
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: think it'd be a hard sell to go to purely

1533
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: white tail land because that wouldn't be so much for her.

1534
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: So right now, though it's it's just a family thing.

1535
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: We didn't I think still, especially her, I'm just not

1536
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: ready to leave the family. So I think for the

1537
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: time being, the compromise is just going to be that

1538
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna live in the mountains for a month

1539
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: or something like that every year, as long as we've

1540
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: got the flexibility to do it. We're gonna travel a lot,

1541
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: and I went to hunt as many different places I can,

1542
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: So for now, I'm just gonna put a lot of

1543
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: miles in the truck. But we'll see got you got you? Well? Uh,

1544
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but my stomachs crumbling. I

1545
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: think I gotta eat some dinner. So knock on the

1546
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: door after this, are you yep? Were you inspired by

1547
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: my day? Well? Kind of? I mean I've already knocked

1548
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: on this guy's door three times and he wasn't home,

1549
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: uh to answer the door. So I went turkey hunting

1550
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: on this property this year, and now I'm gonna ask

1551
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: permission to white tail hunt and uh, I don't know.

1552
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. It's a good tactic. The old

1553
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: turkey first, I call it the turkey foot in the

1554
01:22:54,040 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: door that was that's real dumb, but that's it's not unexpected,

1555
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: not unexpected at all. And on that note, we're gonna

1556
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: wrap this thing up, so a couple of quick updates

1557

1571
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,800

1572
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,519

Speaker 1: I figured that was what you were waiting for, alright,

1577
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: So I can only imagine what my wife would do

1578
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: if I walked into the house wearing a G string,

1579
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: being like, hey babe, she would probably she'd probably kick

1580
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: me right in the growing. That might be a good

1581
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: way to to get more time away from the house hunting, though,

1582
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:35,640
Speaker 1: if you do that, she might want to watch you

1583
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: out of there, right. So, Wired Hunt Wednesdays, we'll send
