I think of meat eaters 170 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: is the umbrella, and then there's all these sub brands 171 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: and personalities and folks underneath it and wired hunts of thing. 172 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: I started on my own men of years ago, and 173 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: and then uh, when meat eater became a new thing, 174 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: me and Steve merged it all together. And he were 175 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: one of the first guys that came into meat Eater, 176 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: were you not? You have one of the very very first, 177 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: like number three or something like that. Okay, so he 178 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: sought you out, he did. He called me one day, 179 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: do you know Steve before that I did. We weren't 180 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: like close buddies or anything. We drank a beer once 181 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: and talked about books, and we've exchanged a few emails. 182 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: And then one day I was sitting in Grand Teatime 183 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: National Park with my wife, camped out living in our camper, 184 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: and I got a phone call from Steve Ronellen, Like 185 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: what in the world he called me about the rest 186 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: of history. So that was what year two thousand seventeen 187 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: seems like a long time ago. It did. So we're 188 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: gonna come back to Mark because we were gonna talk 189 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: about our hunt. Ultimately, by the end of this, we're 190 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Warner Glenn podcast number two. To 191 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Mark's right my left Joe, also known as Big Joe. 192 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Big Joe is not He's not big like volume wise, 193 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: they're like mass wise, but is very tall. Joe vanneck Out. Yeah, 194 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: this is your so your videographer cinematographer? Can you can 195 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: you describe the difference for me? For real? I mean, 196 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean to most people in the world that there's 197 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: no difference, But within production, I would say cinematographers have 198 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: like a little bit, you know, a little bit. Uh 199 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: is this a self proclaimed title? I mean you get 200 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: credit credited as a cinematographer. Well, what would the guy 201 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: do that was a videographer? I mean, I don't know. 202 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to throw it. Come this was like 203 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: an ego thing. Here is what I'm catching. I mean, 204 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it's it's more artistic. Maybe a 205 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: certain level of bigger paycheck, certain level of production maybe 206 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: reflects the cinematographer. I don't know, Okay, certain cameras maybe 207 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, we have an l a producer 208 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: here that could chine in on what what what's what's 209 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: the difference. So since digital cameras become a thing and 210 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: brands have brought in folks to shoot, this role has 211 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: become a videographer where their shooting video of content and 212 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: they're also editing or directing. There like a jack of 213 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: all trades or Jane of all trades, where cinematographers just 214 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: specializes in making cinema images, so they operate on a 215 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: different scale. Typically, to the general public, the term videographer 216 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: is more familiar than a cinetographer or director of photography 217 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: or camera operator. It's a cinematographer on our time card. 218 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: So there you go. How does filmmaker fit into this? 219 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: Just skipping, just jumping above all of it. And you 220 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: know I'm a filmmaker. Well this this, this is like 221 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: not my film, Like I'm producing images and making things 222 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: look good. But if I was, like, for instance, I'm 223 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: making my own film, like as an independent cinematographer, like 224 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: my own documentary film. So that's I guess qualifies me 225 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: as a filmmaker. But for this show, just a cinematographer, 226 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: do you guys as as videographers as excuse me, as 227 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: cinematographers and as uh. It's kind of like the difference 228 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: than being a someone saying, oh, you're a raccoon hunter 229 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: and you go, no, I'm a coon hunter. I don't know, 230 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: and it'd be like, what's what's the difference a joke? Okay, okay, 231 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: as cinematographers as producers, like four of you are and 232 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: that do you do? You watch a lot of films, Yeah, 233 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: for sure, like for style examples and inspiration and lighting 234 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: and colors. So when you're watching a movie, you're thinking 235 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: about all those things. Oh yeah, I mean people some 236 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: people can't stand watching films with me. There's things just 237 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: because I'm like interpreting it a little bit different maybe, 238 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: or something You're paying attention to certain things. But sometimes 239 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: they appreciate it. They're like, oh, I didn't think about 240 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: that way. My wife has become better at doing that 241 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: than I am. So she'll be just predict shows right 242 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: off the bat. It's fun. She's we've switched switch sides. 243 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: What do you think about do you think there is 244 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: more advantage in uh, which watching other people's work. I 245 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: think there's an argument argument to be made for somebody 246 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: that maybe never watched anybody else's work and just went 247 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: off like raw just their interpretation as opposed to be 248 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: an influence, because I think we're heavily influenced in anything. 249 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Like if you turned me loose in the mountains of 250 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: Arkansas to go kill a deer with a bow, and 251 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: I had never had any instruction, but I understood the 252 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: patterns of deer, and like, I think I would probably 253 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: do it way different than the way I do it now. 254 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: It's just been ingrained and me. I mean, part of 255 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: the whole stick of what we're doing this week is 256 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: that we're hunting a particular way because it's the way 257 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: that it's a traditional way to hunt. It's not necessarily 258 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: the most efficient way. Do you see what I'm saying? So, 259 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: and I realized we gained so much by watching how 260 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: other people do things, But sometimes I wonder if that 261 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: inhibits us more than it helps us sometimes, what are 262 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: your thoughts on films? And then Mark will go back 263 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: to deer hunting. You know, I think, like you know, 264 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: get he was saying, getting inspiration from other stuff. I think, 265 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, mimicry is the best form of flattery kind 266 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: of thing, or if you're you're kind of learning from 267 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: people that you admire and applying that to your yourself 268 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: and your own cinematic process and as Jesus sounds, but yeah, 269 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like it's it's hard and 270 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: a vacuum that doesn't exist, right, You're always going to 271 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: be influenced by everything you watch and assume. So, but 272 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's off a lot of stuff, different rules 273 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: of shooting that you need to know because you know, 274 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: you can't cross the line and shoot. You know, it's 275 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: hard for the editor, so you kind of have to 276 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: have a basic understanding of of coverage of a scene too. 277 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: So I think if you just kind of came out 278 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: of the box about any of that, it could be 279 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: a little bit challenging for an editor or whatever. So 280 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: especially because the language of film has evolved over a century, 281 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and so we are accustomed to a certain language and 282 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: once you become a master of that craft. You can 283 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: change the rules that language. But you know something that 284 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: your parents brought up last night when we were talking. 285 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: It was the same idea of how much do you 286 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: watch or how much you pay attention. Our art, or 287 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: art in general, is all about sensory understanding. So if 288 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: you had no hearing, no site, you know, no touch, 289 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: could you could you make anything? You know? Like, what 290 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: would you do? You wouldn't know that that existed. So 291 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: even if we just look at a tree, we can 292 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: be inspired by that and somehow capture that in our paintings. 293 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: Are are are there's inspiration no matter what. You don't have 294 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: a choice, you just you are only able to build 295 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: on experiences you've had in a sensory world. Yeah, I 296 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: realized it's probably kind of a romantic, unrealistic idea to 297 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: think you would be not influenced by other people. But 298 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: what if we took a paleolithic Native American who would 299 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: have the full capacity for learning as us, and you 300 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: could take him out of that world and put him 301 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: into our world, train him on a video camera the 302 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: most creative of all the bunch. You could do some 303 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: tests and figure out which one was most creative. He 304 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: would know the video, he would know the equipment, and 305 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: he could make a video. What would it look like? 306 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: How would it be different than ours? We're getting deep 307 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: in the weeds boys, This is great. I could have 308 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: thought on that, just in terms of we've chosen to 309 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: work within a really set like set confines. We have 310 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: a episode length like where we have a time limit. 311 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: So you know, if you take someone in that situation, 312 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: they may think that the full sunrise is the most 313 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: incredible thing in film it and it's a you know, 314 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: a three hour segment that doesn't translate to you know, 315 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. You're we're We've chosen to 316 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: work within this really like strict set of rules, so 317 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: there's I think that limits capacity a little bit. You know, 318 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: you gotta get everything done in twenty two minutes. It 319 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: has to be a cohesive story. There has to be 320 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: a start in an end, in an arc, and whatever 321 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: it was they produced, I just don't think it would 322 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: do well on YouTube. I I actually think that the 323 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Caveman would have a really good chance because we all, 324 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: we've all evolved with similar understanding of beauty, even across 325 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: different cultures. Right like the indigenous Americans versus the European Americans, 326 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: like they understood art in a very similar format we've 327 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: I think they'd have a good chance of making something 328 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: really sick. I think I think it would be surprised 329 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: at how similar are intrigue would be. I think they 330 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: would make a like an hour long documentary about fire, 331 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: That's what I think they would do, and Buffalo Fire, 332 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo and the sun rest that I want fantastic. Throw 333 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: some Kevin Costner in there and a felt cowboy hat perfectly. 334 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: Are you saying what we do is so easy a 335 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Cayman could do it, like I? So, Hey, so Mark, 336 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: why don't you tell everybody kind of what we've been 337 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: doing this week? Yeah? Well, the gist of this show 338 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: that we're producing is that I travel across the country 339 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: to meet up with interesting characters, interesting deer hunters that 340 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: represent a unique style, tradition, or culture within the white 341 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: tail hunting world. And I'm tasked with meeting with this 342 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: person and mentoring under them, studying them for a day 343 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: or so to get the gist of their area, their place, 344 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: and how they do what they do. And then I 345 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: need to go out and try to pull it off. Myself. 346 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: So I gotta try to replicate I gotta try to 347 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: guinea pig their style in their terrain and there stomping grounds. 348 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: So this time we came to visit you and James 349 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: Lawrence to learn about Arkansas deer hunting, hunting in the mountains, 350 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: hunting in big timber, big forests, public land, and doing 351 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: it the traditional way, packing in with a mule, staying 352 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: out there a while, camping in the back country. And 353 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: uh so that's what we did. We came out here, 354 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: I met with you guys and tried to hunt. Yeah, 355 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: everybody that it has followed along with the Burgar's podcast 356 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: would have would know James Lawrence. He was on the 357 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: second or third episode, so we did a a full 358 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: episode with him the shed Hornbuck. Yeah yeah, what what 359 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: what were your impressions of James. James was even better 360 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: than I expected, you know, I think that, you know, 361 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: having listened to him on the on the podcast and 362 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: heard of stories from you about him, I knew he 363 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: would be a great deer hunter. I knew he'd be 364 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: a character. But what I didn't expect fully was just 365 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: how warm and welcoming he was. You know, how quick 366 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: he was to open his arms to you and be 367 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: excited for you and share with with us everything he could. 368 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: And the genuine excitement he had to be a part 369 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: of this with us was just it was really nice. 370 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: And uh, I'll tell you, obviously a heck of a 371 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 1: deer hunter to kill the deer he has in the 372 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: places he's done it. I mean, I could tell I 373 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: was impressive when I went and saw the antlers on 374 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: his wall at the beginning of the trip, but it's 375 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: even more impressive now at the end of the trip. 376 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: We so the first day we went to James house, 377 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: we spent hour two with him talking with him, and 378 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: then we went out into the Mountains National Forest here 379 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: in Arkansas, and there was a whole gaggle of us. 380 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: There's six of us here, so we all we packed 381 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: in on the mule. And so the way that the 382 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: way that James, you know, he did all kind of hunting, 383 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: but his favorite way to hunt was the packing with 384 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: a mule or a horse. He's a horse packing with 385 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: a horse and carry enough stuff that he could hunt 386 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time and stay way back 387 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: in the woods. And it basically it's kind of like 388 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: a modern version of a long hunt, you know, and 389 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: so that's what we did. And you know, there's different 390 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: layers of national forests. You know, there's, uh, there's some 391 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: national forest that is abudding private land that has a 392 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: lot of clear cuts and a lot of you know, 393 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: man made alterations to the landscape, which typically means more deer. 394 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: Then there's what I would call like interior mountain hunting, 395 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: which would be these mountain ranges in areas that just 396 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: kind of have it's all gonna have some timber, timber 397 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: improvement in different things, but kind of this interior areas 398 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: that probably have less deer to steason anywhere else. And 399 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: that's where we tried to go. We camped, you guys camped. 400 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: I actually left because I wasn't really apart. I was 401 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: just a part of the film getting Mark back in here, 402 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: and then Mark was on his own, so I didn't 403 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: camp with you guys. But how many days did you hunt, Mark? Well, 404 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: we had budgeted four hunt days, the first of which 405 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: would be a morning with you where you'd be showing 406 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: me around and giving me your perspective on how you 407 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: would approach you know, just basically how you and James 408 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: and hunt in air like this. I was picking your brain. 409 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: Bought all that, and then we would have I would 410 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: have three and a half days solo after that. So 411 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: that's how much time we had. We didn't end up 412 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: using all that time, but that's how much time we 413 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: had available. And we got a late starts. We're supposed 414 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: to camp in and get in there the night before, 415 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: but because of all sorts of outside of our hands circumstances, 416 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: we got a late starts. We got in a day late, 417 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: and we left a little early. So short it was 418 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: a short, long hunt. Yeah. Yeah, Well do you want 419 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: to do we want to tell that clearly, I mean 420 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: talking to me, just kind of describe the terrain and 421 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of what we did and then just your hunt. Well, 422 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: if you're willing to spill the beans, oh why not? Yeah? 423 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: The Bear Grease Render podcast is a good places any 424 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: all right. So we, like you mentioned, we packed in 425 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: our stuff on Izzie on your mule, and that was 426 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: definitely the easiest hike in I've ever had for a 427 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: bad country hunt. Because she carried my backpack too. I 428 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: felt guilty, um, but it was nice, and I never 429 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: feel guilty loading a mule down to the hilt. I 430 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: think of every what I whisper under my breath or 431 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: when i'm if I'm by myself, I actually say it 432 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: out loud to the mule. I say, I feed you 433 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: every day of your life. You can do this for 434 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: me today and not throw a bit. Well, you know, 435 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: it was funny though. We we talked about this while 436 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: we were filming the other day, but watching her walk on, 437 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: I got to thinking, like, is she like a hunt dog? 438 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: Like is this her super Bowl? Has she been sitting 439 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: in her you know, sitting in the pasture, sitting in 440 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: the barn for weeks, just waiting for this chance to 441 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: get out and do or work. He said, Nope, she's 442 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: she's not excited about this at all. Yeah, Now that 443 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: that was an insightful question that I've never heard it 444 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: asked like that. People have asked, you know, do you 445 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: think they like doing this? And my and it will 446 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: go through it again because it's an interesting thought. You know, 447 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: does this is this animal pumped when I put it 448 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: in the trailer because it knows it's gonna go out 449 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: in the back country and get out of the you know, 450 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: the pasture for a couple of days. And I believe 451 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: the answer is no. And that is partly because I 452 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: read a book years ago called Evidence Based Horsemanship where 453 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: a neurologist and a horse trainer got together and wrote 454 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: a book that changed the equine training world because for years, 455 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: people anthropomorphized horses and mules, because a horse might treat 456 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: Tyler different than they treat Joe, just like he would, 457 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: and people would would presume that, well, that horse doesn't 458 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: like me, or that horse, you know, doesn't it's mean 459 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: to me and not to him, And basically it affected 460 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: the way people trained and handled their horses. Well, these 461 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: neurologyist came in and really studied the science, the brain 462 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: science of an equine animal, and basically they have they 463 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: don't have a place in their brain to like you 464 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: or not like you, like it is not there. They 465 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: have an extremely big part of the brain that governs 466 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: the physical movement of their body. Like basically, if the 467 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: brain were an engine, like a big chunk of that 468 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: engine would be dedicated to actually driving their body, you know, 469 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: this thousand pound body. Even more so than like the 470 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: human body, a very small part of that brain would 471 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: be dedicated to the ability to reason and think, which 472 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: they basically don't have the ability to do. Like you 473 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: can put out. The best example was like you put 474 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: out a hay bell for a horse. He is not 475 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna stash some of that hey away for 476 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: next week when I won't have hey, like he just 477 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: he thought hey. Point being that animal, the main things 478 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: that animal is worried about is the main flight response. 479 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: The main response that animal has this flight response to 480 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: predation that is a massive factor in their life is 481 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: staying safe and breeding and then having a full belly. 482 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: And so like a kind of like Matt, Matt pointing 483 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: to himself, I didn't breeding. So a dog though, a 484 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: primary instinct in that dog is a prey drive to 485 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: go get something, And so we're on the same page 486 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: of that animal. We want to go get a coil, 487 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: we want to go get a bear or whatever. So 488 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: anyway I think that is he is happy. The other 489 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: thing is that they fit into a a a dominance. 490 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: Everything about training mules and horses is about dominance. And 491 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: by dominance, I don't mean like physically dominating the animal. 492 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: But that animal when it views you andreas All, the 493 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: only way it knows how to register you is am 494 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: I in charger? Is he in charge? Who's in charge? Here? 495 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: And so if you established that you're in charge, then 496 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: that animal will do what you want. If it figures 497 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: out that you're intimidated buy it, or that it can 498 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: bully you, it absolutely will. We used to read our 499 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: kids a book called if you give a Moose a muffin? 500 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: Do you can read that? So, if you give a 501 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: moose a muffin, he'll come in your house and want 502 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: to drink of water. If you give him a glass 503 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: of water, then he'll come in your house and he'll 504 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: want to sit on the couch. It's a cute little 505 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: kid's book. So if you give a mule a muffin, 506 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: you're in trouble. So you always got to keep him 507 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: in line. So you know there's a future for you 508 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: and children's books. You do the Arkansas version of that, 509 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: give a mule u? Do you regret giving Issy and Apple? Now? No, 510 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: not at all for me. Yeah, so yeah, mules. Yeah. 511 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't give the cliff Notes version of this because 512 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: I know we want to get to other things. Um, basically, 513 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: just we packed in there a few miles, we set 514 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: up a base camp, and then you and I struck 515 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: out for a morning of kind of still hunting through 516 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: the mountains, And basically I was just picking your brain 517 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: and all the things. I want to know, what's the 518 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: kind of stuff you think you're they're feeding on out here, 519 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: what kind of habitat are they key and in on? 520 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: What are the terrain features of these deer are using. 521 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: You were pointing out a lot of differences to me. 522 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 1: I'd say one of the things that stood out the 523 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: most to me was how you should interpret sign in 524 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: a place like this compared to how you might interpret 525 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: a sign or observations in a place in the Midwest 526 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: where there's much higher deer densities, because very low deer 527 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: density here. And so you talked about making a chart, 528 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: which I think we should make, and I think we 529 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: should sell it on the mediator store. This would be 530 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: one rub in Arkansas equals fifteen rubs in Iowa. One 531 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: dear sighting in Arkansas equals twenty deer in Iowa. Whatever 532 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: it was um because there's so little sign of of 533 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: any life out there. When it came to white tails, 534 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: at least we saw it. We fought, excuse me, we 535 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: saw zero droppings. Just the the several small tracks we 536 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: saw when you and I were together, we found one 537 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: little dinky rub and we saw one just half I 538 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: can't cuss in this podcast, kind of one one real 539 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: small little scrape. Uh So it wasn't terribly encouraging from 540 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: a sign perspective, but you were telling me, oh, this 541 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: is pretty great. So so that was eye opening to me. Um. 542 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: So I got the lay of the landing and just 543 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: kind of saw how you would do it and how 544 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: James taught you to do it, and and try to 545 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: get enough of an understanding to be head out there 546 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: in my own that was that was the beginning. Yeah, yeah, 547 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: and then walk us through the hunts. You had four hunts, ye, 548 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: so you you Clay took off, You took off, went home, 549 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: and we were hunting high saddles. Yeah, this is one 550 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: big mountain that had a few saddles in it. And 551 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: and both you and James had reiterated to me multiple 552 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: times saddles were really the name of the game. It 553 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: was a terrain feature and these big ridges that deer 554 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: would use to cross the big ridge. And while there's 555 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: a number of different ways deer use these mountains, a 556 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: number of different terrain features, they might relate to saddles 557 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: where we're the most huntable. I think that was a 558 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: key thing, Like you could try different things, but this 559 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: was a way that was particularly hunting, and it had 560 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: has a lot to do with the wind higher up 561 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: on the mountains. If you gotta if you got a 562 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: south wind, you actually get a south wind. If you're 563 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: on the side of the mountain with a south wind, 564 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna swirl, it's gonna hit this mountain and do 565 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: all kind of weird stuff. So the saddles are huntable. 566 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: And what I said to you, and what I wanted 567 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: to reiterate, because there's a lot of guys that kill 568 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: good deer in this part of the world that probably 569 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: would be like, well, I don't hunt that many high saddles. 570 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: There's other ways to do it, you know, in the 571 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: deer's world in in this part of the country, Like 572 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: he's probably doing eight things really consistently. This is one 573 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: of them, you know. I mean, he's going to bed 574 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: probably in similar areas on the mountain, he's traveling benches 575 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: in similar as, he's feeding in similar areas, he's getting 576 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: water every day somewhere. But basically it's just like you 577 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: can kill him in saddles because in the saddle is 578 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: a low spot on a long ridge, and so that's 579 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: just kind of what we keyed in on. Yes, we're 580 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: looking for saddles, some little bit assigned, just confirmative deer 581 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: coming through though. And then we wanted to find those 582 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: things close to acorns because we figured that's that's what 583 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: they're kid in on feeding. So that first night, what 584 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: did you say, what kind of Oh yeah, acorns, acorns, Oh, acorns. 585 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: That's so we found We found all those things in 586 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: a couple of spots. And so that first night I 587 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: went into the first saddle. It was nice, thick, brushy saddle. 588 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: Brought my uh incredible cameraman Tyler and Joe with me. 589 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: We climbed up in trees and we decided we'd sit 590 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: up high that first night because it kind of seemed 591 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: to like a destination that you need to get a 592 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: good advantage point of. So we did the tree thing 593 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: that night. We saw one dough out of range. We 594 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: went back the next morning, which I was thrilled about. Yeah, 595 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: when I you came back to camp, I was like, oh, 596 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: you saw a deer yep, good yep. So that was 597 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: somewhat encouraging. Next day saw nothing. So that afternoon I 598 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: decided you know what, it's time to take another page 599 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: James book and do the still hunting thing. So that 600 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: evening I still hunted my way through an acre. Weren't 601 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: flat through that first saddle, up another knob to this 602 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: other ridge, and I came across another spot with with 603 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of acorns that weren't there the first day 604 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: when you and I walked through, because they weren't as 605 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: thick in this spot. So I saw that, It's like, 606 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: oh interesting. And then I glanced over to my left 607 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: and I saw this brushy point coming off the main ridge, 608 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: and it caught my eye. Hadn't noticed it when you 609 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: and I were out there, and I caught I just 610 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: caught a glimpse into that cheese. That looks like something 611 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: should be bedding in that. So I just stood in 612 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: glass for a while, and I edged my way off 613 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: the little trail and I just started sidehilling toward that, 614 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: just to get a better look. And as I'm heading 615 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: towards that, I find a rub multiple saplings all rubbed up. 616 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: So I thought, well, this looks good, and I sat 617 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 1: and I watched that brushy point for a while and 618 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: then slipped on past that around the knob and on 619 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: the other side, and I have another ripped up tree. 620 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: So now I found two rubs in the same little knob. 621 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: And then I looked at on X and I noted 622 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: that little tiny scrape we found the day before it 623 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: was just on the other side of this too. So 624 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: all this sign, which now is the most sign we've 625 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: seen anywhere on this trip, is right around a snob, 626 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: and there's a second saddle that drops off that nub. 627 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: And so I thought to myself, as I'm seeing all 628 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: this and these things are looking good, better and better, 629 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: I thought, why don't just sitting the side of this 630 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: knob and watch that saddle and see if this kind 631 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: of combination of factors pans out. Did that? Saw three 632 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: doors that night come across that saddle out of range. 633 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: So the next morning my plan was head back in 634 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: there first light, slip into that saddle, and get closer 635 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: to where they crossed. And to make a long story short, 636 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: we ended up seeing several deer moved through that saddle, 637 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: and one of them around late in the morning. Late 638 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: in the morning, one of them came crunch crunching just 639 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: over my right shoulder. I'm sitting on the ground and 640 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: I heard a twig snap. Turn my head to the right, 641 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: look past my cameraman here, Mr Tyler, and I just 642 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: see antlers coming down the ridge, not far not far 643 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: away at all. And um eight point buck was walking 644 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: straight past this quarter in a way and lo and behold, 645 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: we got the camera on him. I got the gun history. 646 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: Let let let a shot buzzle loader huntinguzuzz could have 647 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: killed him with a bow. It was was bow range 648 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: probably when I shot him. And um, yeah, killed me 649 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: an eight point Arkansas buck. Awesome, man, it was wild. 650 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: It was not. I didn't expect that to happen the 651 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: way the way things are going. You haven't a You don't. 652 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: You don't realize how much pressure is on something like this. 653 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: And not not from the even the video perspective. But 654 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: if you had come to Arkansas and he said, Claire, 655 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: I got three and a half days, I don't want 656 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: to kill a buck. I mean that's a pretty short 657 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: amount of time really anywhere to go hunt. I mean 658 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: you could hunt and some of the best places in 659 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: the country and say you got three and a half 660 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: days to kill a representative de your here, so and 661 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: to do it here, I'd say it was we were 662 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: all really happy that I think this is your one 663 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: of the two top hardest hunts. I happy this season. Yeah, 664 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: so there's a series of hunts that Mark's doing. I 665 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: don't envy you for this, Mark, It's a tricky endeavor. 666 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: It's funny, you know, me and Ben, we're the ones 667 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: who came up with this idea and planned out the 668 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: hunts and planned out what we're gonna do. And you 669 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: know a year ago when we were first spitballing this 670 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: whole idea, like, man, this is a great concept. This 671 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: is gonna be fun, this is gonna be really interesting, 672 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: and it never really somehow, I'm some kind of idiot 673 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: for not really thinking this through, but it didn't really 674 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: cross my mind until I was actually going out in 675 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: these hunts, just how crazy it was to try to 676 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: pull this kind of thing off and make a TV show. 677 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: Like most all hunting TV shows, especially White Tail. Are 678 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, going to some big, managed, fancy property and 679 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: you've got seven days and it's already preset for you. 680 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: We're going to some outfitter and it's all ready to 681 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: rock and roll those big bucks all over the place. 682 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: Nobody goes to some random place spends a day talking 683 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: to someone learn about the area and then tries to 684 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: go figure it out all on their own with just 685 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: three days to hunt. It's not a recipe for success. 686 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: It is a very interesting concept, and I can't wait 687 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: to see to see them all and see it all 688 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: put together. It's it's it's gonna be interesting, and we 689 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: were very fortunate that this one worked out it very well. 690 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: Couldn't have the increased pressure of time such a mental 691 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: mental game. Tell Mark, if he was here for seven 692 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: full days, like I would have thought, Man, well, well 693 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: he'll get on a good buck and seven full days. 694 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: But three and a half days is way different than seven. 695 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: And with the muzzle litter, which you don't hunt muzzle 696 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: litter because like as consistently as somebody out here withou like, 697 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: you're a bow hunter primarily, and those muzzle litters are difficult. 698 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: There's always something going wrong. There's yeah, there really is. 699 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: The more I messed with muzzloters, the more I realized 700 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: there's so many things that can go wrong with them. 701 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: I'd rather shoot any day of the the week. I would 702 00:37:51,560 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: trust a bowl a lot more in the muzzlow. Yeah, Mark, 703 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 1: you're you're an uppa guy. Pretty much all the time. 704 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: How are you feeling at like nine am that morning, 705 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: so you fired the shot at where was your head 706 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: at it like nine? Yeah, that's a great question. And 707 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: and in my very speedy recollection of the hunt right there, 708 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: I made it sound like it was action packed and quick, 709 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: and yeah, that sounded pretty action packed. I saw deer 710 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: and then nothing, and then a couple of deer and 711 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: then nothing. But you gotta understand that those deer settings, 712 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: you know, the one deer that was like a four 713 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: second deer encounter the first night, and the next night 714 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 1: it was five seconds of them very quickly passing through 715 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: and then then I killed. But that was over the 716 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: course of you know, four days, many long hours, um, 717 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: so of the hunt was filled with Man, we are 718 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: not seeing anything. I've got very little signed to work with, 719 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, I am really a What I love about 720 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: deer hunting in a lot of ways is the analytical Uh. 721 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: It's the chess match. It's trying to understand all the 722 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: different pieces. It's studying the playing, studying the bull ward 723 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: and figure out how to move these pieces around and 724 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: where these pieces are and what they mean and and 725 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: all that. And I kept as we're going through this hunt, 726 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: I felt like I was hunting blind. There's so little 727 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: new data to work with. There's almost no sign at all. 728 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: So it's not like I could scout until I find 729 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: hot sign because one little rub might be the best 730 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna find. And how do you interpret that. I 731 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be able to scout around until I 732 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: bumped a bunch of deer. I wasn't gonna see four 733 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: or five, six, seven deer doing different things and be 734 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: a pattern what they're doing like you might in other places. 735 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: So much of this time I was sitting here just 736 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: going back and forth in my head about you know, 737 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: what to do and how to do and how we're 738 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna make the most of this and how it somehow 739 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: going to come together and what it came down to 740 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: in the end, And basically where my head was at 741 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: at nine am on that fourth day was I'm not 742 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: really in control here. I can do a few things right. 743 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: There's a few things that I can trust, and I'm 744 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: gonna trust the terrain, trust the saddle. I'm going to, 745 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: you know, trust my basic instincts as a hunter to 746 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: to be in the right place with the right vantage 747 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: point and make sure we're doing the right thing in 748 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: the moment so that if some opportunity did come along, 749 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: would be ready for it. But what I was telling myself, 750 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: literally the words in my mind, We're just wait and 751 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: see what the mountain gives you. I'm just gonna see 752 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: what the mountain gives you. And it might be a dough, 753 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: it might be nothing at all, and we're just gonna 754 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: have an experience out here and just gonna enjoy this 755 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: trip for what it was. But we're not gonna kill anything. 756 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: I just had done an interview to camera talking about 757 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: this very thing, talking about how my dad was always 758 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: really good at this, and that when I was a 759 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: kid sitting with my dad, I just always remember him 760 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: and I would find him like annoyingly upbeat about it, 761 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: because he would be, man, this is the most beautiful sky, Godly, 762 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: look at these leaves. This is just terrific weather. And 763 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: it would be sitting out there, we hadn't seen a 764 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: deer for six hours or something, and I'm thinking we 765 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: should be seeing more, Dear, why isn't this going better? 766 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: And Dad would just be john about you know what 767 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: a great maple candy this was or whatever. He was 768 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: just always enjoying it, joined the experience and the surroundings. 769 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: And I've always been very goal oriented, very uh achievement oriented, 770 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: and so I naturally have I have to work hard 771 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: to take a step back and just soaking things for 772 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: what they are without like striving for the next thing. 773 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: And so I was speaking to camera just about how 774 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: I need to be a little more like my dad 775 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: in this moment, because this seems like the kind of 776 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: place that requires that, and and really this is the 777 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: kind of place that helps, uh teach you to to 778 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: live like that a little bit. And I was kind 779 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: of accepting of that and thinking to myself, Man, we 780 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: were down to just one more day or less half 781 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: day or whatever it was, and in my hard hearts, 782 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be a real long shot 783 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: to get something killed. And just moments after that, minutes 784 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: after that, here comes that buck. So you know, I 785 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: don't know what you want to call it, but I 786 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: kind of looked that buck is a gift. You know, 787 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: in this out of hunting, you can't be validated by 788 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: seeing game. I say that all the time, even with 789 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: bear hunting in national forest, deer hunting in national forest, 790 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: and part of hunting is. It's so fun to hunt 791 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: in game rich areas, so like there's not it's so 792 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: fun to sit and watch a lot of deer. But 793 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: you have to go way backwards to be successful in 794 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: the in the mountains, you're just not gonna see a 795 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: lot of deer, you know. But I think that's a 796 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: good thing. I like to be able to go from 797 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: both worlds because there's places I hunt in Arkansas where 798 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: we do see. If I don't see a deer when 799 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: I'm hunting, I'm in the wrong spot. Just because you 800 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 1: ought to be seeing deer every day, you know, every 801 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: every sit, you know, every couple of hours, you know, 802 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: in the mountains not so you know, you're just looking 803 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: for that one chance of a a deer. So anyway, good job, man. 804 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough. And then we hauled the 805 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: deer out on Izzie's back. We pulled the old ribs 806 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 1: slip behind the shoulder, put the deer over the saddle 807 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: horn is he hauled the deer out. He said to me, 808 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 1: this is how they hauled dead people out of here too, 809 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: stripe him over the saddle. Yeah, um, what did you say? 810 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: You skinned it with James Lawrence? Yeah? And then we went, 811 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: we took it back to James's house. Oh yeah, we 812 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: we got We gotta say something, man, James Lawrence, of 813 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: all the people hunt with, he is the best at 814 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: very genuinely convincing you that he is more excited than 815 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: you are about the thing that you've done. And he's no, 816 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: he's no. I wanted to say respector of persons, but 817 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: like he doesn't really even know Mark, and he genuinely 818 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: was pumped from he was giving you a hug. He 819 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: shook your hand and gave you a big hug. I 820 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: think I'm more excited the new lar, bigger smile.

Yeah, man, that's 823 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: a that's something that I aspire to be like because 824 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: you can't fabricate it. You can't. It's not just like 825 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: I said in this Warner Glen podcast. Here boy, he's 826 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: a pro. Well, he's a pro gentleman that you you 827 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: can string words together in English and say sentences that 828 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: maybe the right words, but if those words aren't connected 829 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: to something really authentic, we all know it. I want 830 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: to work on being that supportive and genuine inside of 831 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: my interest in what other people are doing. And and boy, 832 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,720 Speaker 1: you can't fabricate it's got to really be. Like James, 833 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: I believe was really pumped that Mark came killed a 834 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: deer here. And you know, because he could have said, 835 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: oh wow, Mark, I'm proud of you. That's great, good job. 836 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: He ended his hunt early, knowing we were driving up 837 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: to his drive away. He got out of his stand 838 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: came to see us. He was like Jones in because 839 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: he knew Mark killed something. Yeah, you know how I 840 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: know that you are genuinely interested and excited about what 841 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: somebody has to say. What you do this and anybody 842 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: that listens to your podcast will know this. You go 843 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: mm hmmm, that's you gotta you gotta real salad sound 844 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: that you use a lot Mark, if you listen to me. 845 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: I think I need to tone this back a little bit. 846 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: It's good, it's your thing that's prerecorded. It just hits 847 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: the button. I try to teach my kids to be 848 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: it's important in communication to be to give feedback to 849 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 1: people firm. I'm not talking to that rock on the wall. 850 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: You know there's I want to I want to I 851 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: want some I want some feedback. So I like to go. Yeah, 852 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: Warner Glenn. This is the second podcast in our series, 853 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: and I love highlighting people like Warner Glenn, Mark asked 854 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: me yesterday. He is like, so give me a general 855 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: sense of like why Warrener Glenn would be a well 856 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 1: known guy. And it's not like he's done like one 857 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: thing that made him who he is. It's more just 858 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: the totality of who he is and what he represents. 859 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: Part of it is his age to me that he's 860 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: so special, like in today's time, like the older that 861 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: somebody gets, the further back that there that their perspectives go, 862 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: and is the modern world continues to progress it like 863 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: this incredibly rapid pace. I feel like some of these 864 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,760 Speaker 1: some of these people that really have a time stamp 865 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 1: on their life in the earth for the kind of 866 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: view that they have of this planet. It we we 867 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: every day we lose these people. And so I do 868 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: feel a burden almost too to talk to some of 869 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: these guys just to see. I mean, like, how do 870 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: you view the world? You know, what what is it 871 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: like inside of your life? And an interview Mr Warner 872 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: was like that for me, and uh, He's he represents 873 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: so much. But Andrea's you've listened to both the podcast. 874 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: What did you think of? So you just said something interesting. 875 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: He's lived a very authentic life close to the land, 876 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: and historically success has been around how well you can 877 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: live with in your resources. As time moves forward and 878 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: we modernize, that success has shifted away from like being 879 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: close to the land, to all the other things we've 880 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: fabricated to have a successful excuse me, a successful society. 881 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: And so I think that's why he's so special, because 882 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: his success is around his survival and his authenticity, where 883 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,479 Speaker 1: monitoring success doesn't fall within that. So I think that's 884 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: why I feel strongly about these stories as well, because 885 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: it's so contrast to what has evolved in the pain 886 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 1: existing in the consumption. And someone like Warner Glenn has 887 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:09,840 Speaker 1: self created. Obviously, he fell into that ranch because of 888 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 1: his ancestors, but he has perpetuated his existence, and that's 889 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: what's important. I think that's something interesting that everybody here 890 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: has also done. Now we're all sitting here because we 891 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: have perpetuatedly pursued our existence to be shooting a film 892 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: or to be creating a brand around bear hunting or 893 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: white tailed deer, and so it's a little bit more 894 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: modern what we do. Guys like Warner Glenn have our 895 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: inspirational in that sense. That's my take. Yeah, I like 896 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: what really what really stood out is that he he 897 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 1: does something unique that I think is kind of lost 898 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: in modern culture, and that's being like tied to his property, 899 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: his animals, so that you know, he wakes up and 900 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 1: sort of repeats the same thing, being waken up at 901 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 1: four am and saddling the mules and running the dogs. 902 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: Like he's really tied to his place and he's been 903 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: doing that. You know, it seems repetitious. He does that 904 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: every day. You've got to run the dogs, you've got 905 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: to feed your animals, you've got to tend your land, 906 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,439 Speaker 1: and uh, but it's obviously given him like a deep 907 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: sense of peace and longevity. He's been doing it for 908 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: eight eight decades, right, and you know, I think folks 909 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: now every it's that rush to you know, work hard, 910 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: work hard, retire and then it's leisure time. But he's 911 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 1: you know, it's obvious it seems like it's extended his 912 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: life and his well being by just simply repeating that 913 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 1: every day and having that connection to his property and 914 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: his animals. And you know, he's tied to his land. 915 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: And that's where when he said he was talking about 916 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: the reward of doing the kind of work that he does, 917 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 1: and he said, if you're interested in monetary type rewards, 918 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,280 Speaker 1: that was the phrase that he used. Remember that, then 919 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,479 Speaker 1: you probably don't want to be a dry ground line 920 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: hunter in a rancher. I like that because in today's world, 921 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: it's almost as if there's only one option for what 922 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 1: most people are thinking about, which would be monetary type rewards. 923 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying everybody thinks like that, but I 924 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: would say the vast majority of people of their lives 925 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: are dominated by this idea that money is going is 926 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: the end goal, and that money is gonna be what 927 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: gives them the freedom that they want. And that is 928 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: the American way. That is the that is the Western philosophy. 929 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 1: That is deep, deep, deep. Even if you think you 930 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 1: don't do it, you probably that's somewhere. And I like 931 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: it that Warner was just like, if that's the way, 932 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, He's like, they're there are two ways to 933 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: look at life. You could you could look at the 934 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: monetary type reward system, or you could and and I 935 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,760 Speaker 1: asked him, I said, what what is the reward for 936 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 1: your style lifestyle, because he he said, he's not doing 937 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: it for the money, so like, what what's your reward? 938 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: And that's when he went into talking about the beauty 939 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 1: of the land, and he talked about the creator, and 940 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: he talked about seeing the complexity of nature. He talked 941 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: about things connected to the tides and the moons and 942 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: went a little fawn, it's born, you know, he kind 943 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: of he kind of got poetic there for a minute. Well, 944 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: don't you feel that the monetary pursuit is a very 945 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: post industrial revolution, post war cultural effect, Like it's because 946 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: we've become so productive that we have that luxury of 947 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 1: creating another form of survival game. But he doesn't have 948 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: that luxury, or he didn't choose to take on that lifestyle. 949 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: So in a sense, he has found small rewards every 950 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 1: day and throughout time, and he's built his own reward 951 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: system that you kind of need that when you're surviving 952 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: off the land in Arizona. What did you guys think 953 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 1: about Kelly Kelly Glenn camberro with her being in movies 954 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: and being the ruder girl. That was pretty cool when yeah, 955 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,320 Speaker 1: just a wild set of circumstances though that families found 956 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 1: themselves in. You know, you wouldn't necessarily expect that this 957 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 1: ranching family from down on the border would get tangled 958 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,240 Speaker 1: up in that kind of stuff. But there more Hollywood 959 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: and Andreas and some ways, wow, more Hollywood than Andreas. 960 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: Thank God. I think she just she said, yes, the 961 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: unique opportunities that maybe other folks wouldn't have the tenacity 962 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: to do so, like at the time, like her getting 963 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: involved with Ruger when it was a really like you know, 964 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,919 Speaker 1: male dominating industry and just taking that chance and being like, yeah, yeah, 965 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: I'll go for it, and and being really successful at it. 966 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: I think that's admirable. Absolutely. I agree with who Matt said, 967 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: the opportunity, the season, the opportunity. I imagine that they 968 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 1: had become very good at that. She stayed though, even 969 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,399 Speaker 1: through the Hollywood thing. It was cool that she still 970 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 1: was just come back and drag around lion hunting, and 971 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, she didn't move to Hollywood and flapping us, 972 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, right off into the sunset. She kind of 973 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,279 Speaker 1: kept her roots through it all. I thought it was 974 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 1: kind of cool. You can't take time off. There's always 975 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: work to do, especially in that environment. They teach you 976 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 1: that in l a, No, they teach you that. I mean, 977 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: I have a bunch of pens and ranchers, So I 978 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 1: admire the work effort and the I mean I like working. 979 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,720 Speaker 1: I think it's admirable to how to pursuit and become 980 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 1: good at it and be very consistent. Consistency is everything 981 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: in life. If you're consistent, you'll find your own success. 982 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: Success is such a perverse word now, I mean we 983 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: we should be able to find success in everything, even small, 984 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: even big, And we shouldn't compare our success to others 985 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: because then you'll never understand true happiness. I fall the 986 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: victim to that too, right, I think we all do 987 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: in the sense of the modern environment. But however, I 988 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: think they know to be successful every day they need 989 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,240 Speaker 1: to get up all right. This well needs to be fixed, 990 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: that fence needs to be fixed. I need to get 991 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: my mules out here, or whatever they need to do. 992 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: It's not a lifestyle I would want to live, but 993 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: I admire it greatly. You know what Warner said that 994 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 1: stuck with me more than anything. It was right at 995 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: the end of the episode, and it hit me like 996 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: a pile of rocks. It spoke to me, probably because 997 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 1: of the headspace I've been in lately. But you said 998 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 1: something along the lines, you know, what's what's the secret 999 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: to the good life or something like that. And he 1000 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: sat there, I think he chuckled, and he said, you 1001 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,720 Speaker 1: know what, it's just to not worry about so many things. 1002 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 1: There's just not a lot of things worth worrying too 1003 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: much about in life, you know. He went on a 1004 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 1: little bit from there about the simple things are often 1005 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 1: what matter the most, and getting all wound up about 1006 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: all the others it's just a quick way to get 1007 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 1: stressed out and and worried and lose sight of the 1008 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: good stuff. And I'm, you know, so guilty of that 1009 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: so often, over worrying, overthinking, etcetera, etcetera. And it was 1010 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: just it was just like the thing that I needed 1011 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 1: to hear after you have six days of stressing about 1012 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: this thing, stressing about that thing, and uh, and yeah, 1013 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean so much of our lives, whether we worry 1014 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 1: about financial success, worrying about career success, worrying about how 1015 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 1: many points are kids gonna score in the basketball game, 1016 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 1: or worry about am I gonna do this in a 1017 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 1: way that these people will thinks right, or that these 1018 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: people will will like or whatever, and so much of 1019 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: it's so trivial, and people don't care about most of 1020 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: the other things. We build these these false idols in 1021 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: our mind of of what matters or what other people 1022 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: will think about us, and and all we're doing is 1023 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: is perpetuating our own misery. And Uh, if we could 1024 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,720 Speaker 1: all live like Warner a little bit more, not worry 1025 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 1: about as much, focus on a few important things, do 1026 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 1: them well, do them right, be there with your family, 1027 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,919 Speaker 1: and enjoy it all for what it is. Man. That's 1028 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: that's how you get to eighty five and be riding 1029 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand miles in a lifetime and 1030 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 1: killing lions and just finding what you love and doing 1031 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: it and doing it well, and let the chips fall 1032 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,760 Speaker 1: where they may on everything else. You know that statement 1033 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,760 Speaker 1: that Warner made. I'm glad you brought that up, because 1034 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: I've thought about that a lot since I was there 1035 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 1: with him, because somebody else could have said that and 1036 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: it would have just been like a cliche answer. But 1037 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: I knew when he said it he meant and he 1038 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 1: even said that, he said, it's really hard to do. 1039 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: He said, it's hard not to worry about stuff. Yeah, 1040 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: and I've analyze that because it's it's it is very hard. 1041 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 1: I think everybody worries. I mean like I have a 1042 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: really good life. I feel like I have a really 1043 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: stable life. I worry about stuff. I mean that would 1044 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 1: be like something and somebody could be like, what are 1045 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,680 Speaker 1: you worrying about? You know, you got a good family, 1046 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: you got a good job, you got this We human nature. 1047 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 1: Human nature is to worry about stuff. And I think 1048 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 1: it's point, and I think it would be backed by 1049 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: modern science, is that anxiety and worry is probably one 1050 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 1: of the biggest health risks that we have long term. 1051 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 1: It's just this weight on us that is about us 1052 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: all the time. It definitely does not help you live 1053 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 1: long time. The anxiety will take years off your life. 1054 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 1: What I what I've thought about how to deal with 1055 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: that stuff is like, think about all the stuff you 1056 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 1: worry about and then think about the resolution of that thing, 1057 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,720 Speaker 1: whether he would it would even be like a year later, 1058 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: do you a year from now, will you remember the 1059 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: worry about the Deer Culture film? You know what I mean? Like, 1060 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: so it's like, can you skip the middleman and just say, 1061 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna try the best I can. 1062 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hunt as hard as I can for the 1063 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 1: three days every place I've got and like skip the 1064 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: middleman of worry. Yeah, you know there's two. There's yet 1065 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 1: it's hard. There's two things that I've I've found picked 1066 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 1: up from folks that I've found helpful kind of exercises 1067 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: of sorts that can kind of help snap you out 1068 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: of that thinking. So one thing's known as fear setting. 1069 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,920 Speaker 1: You ever heard of fear setting? So you look at 1070 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 1: a situation. Let's say I'm stressed out because I don't 1071 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna kill a buck on this hunt, and 1072 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 1: this episode is gonna suck and my show is not 1073 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna do all of that. So fear setting would be 1074 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 1: where you think, Okay, there's this thing you're worried about. 1075 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: What's the worst case scenario, Like you've played all the 1076 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: potential scenarios of what could happen here, Like, what's the 1077 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: worst thing that could happen? All? Right, So let's say 1078 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't kill a buck and I'm allows the TV 1079 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: show host and the show doesn't do good and nobody 1080 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: likes it. What's the worst thing that happens? Well, maybe 1081 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: the show tanks and I don't do shows anymore, and 1082 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 1: I have to go do some other stuff. I do podcasts, 1083 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: or I write books or I whatever is that that 1084 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: bad is at the end of the world. Still got 1085 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 1: amazing family, still got a job, still get to do 1086 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 1: fun things. Like you just look and oftentimes the things 1087 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: you worry about are so silly and trivial, and the 1088 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: absolute worst case scenario isn't even that bad. So all 1089 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden you say, Okay, can I live with 1090 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: that outcome? Yeah, I'd be fine. It's not that big 1091 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 1: of a deal. The other thing is the perspective shifting, 1092 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: where I just think about something that actually matters. So 1093 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 1: anytime I'm stressed out or worried about something, or if 1094 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 1: I make a dumb mistake, the quickest way I've found 1095 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 1: to snap myself out of it is all right, let's 1096 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: say I miss a deer or a wounded deer, or 1097 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't kill a deer, I flunk of whatever, And 1098 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: that bitter pill is hard to swallow. I'm sitting there 1099 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: wallowing in it. If I can remember to just like 1100 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: look at a picture of my kids or just call 1101 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: the boys like something like that, Right, there's like, man, 1102 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: all the other stuff is nothing compared to this. And 1103 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: if you can just shift your perspective to to the 1104 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: core the very most important things, you realize, Wow, I 1105 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: would sacrifice everything else, just as he'll have that, my sons, 1106 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 1: my family. So those two things are little tools that 1107 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: have helped me a lot, because I would be so 1108 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 1: susceptible to I am just like my natural personality type. 1109 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: I think success. I'm sorry, failure is not an option 1110 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 1: for you. I think, no matter what, you will find 1111 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: how to turn some into success. You've been doing this 1112 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: for a long time. You have that mentality. I think 1113 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of us here do we. We don't allow 1114 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: this idea of failure to be an exit point, because 1115 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 1: that's giving up is a terminal illness, you know. So yes, 1116 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: not planning, it will be planned B. If not B, 1117 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: we'll find us see adapted, see then D. I think 1118 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: you're very good at adapting. And it's there's nothing wrong 1119 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: with feeling bad. It's helpful to feel bad. Otherwise how 1120 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: do you gauge what feels good? As long as you 1121 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: can turn that bad feeling into a problem solving, And 1122 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:02,240 Speaker 1: you're a really good problem solvering, Mark, I mean you too, Clay. 1123 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: I think everybody here's the otherwise who wouldn't be here. 1124 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: I get a question for you, So you got to 1125 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: spend some time with him and his family. You were 1126 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: there in person. Is there anything you took away from 1127 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: that spending time with him, learning from him that you 1128 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: would apply to your own life? Was there like a 1129 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 1: nugget or a lesson that you and I said this 1130 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: in less words on the on the podcast, I was 1131 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: impacted by by the demeanor of Warner Glenn's humility, and 1132 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,919 Speaker 1: I think it partly was my expectation. I've never met 1133 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 1: the man before, western cowboy, dry ground, lion hunter, tough 1134 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 1: guy I expected, and I said this. I expected a 1135 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: proud man, not a bad man, not a pride full man, 1136 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 1: but just a guy that just was like I am 1137 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: who I am, and and what I saw was a 1138 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: humble man. And there were multiple things that happened, even 1139 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: off when we weren't recording, that made me think, like 1140 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: what I have responded that way one of them. And 1141 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: this sounds so small, but sometimes small stuff impact you. 1142 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: I asked him what color one of his mules were 1143 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 1: and he said, I'd call it strawberry run. And then 1144 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 1: he said, you're a mule man, what would you call her? 1145 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: And I just thought, that's a dumb question. I'm not 1146 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: a mule man. You're the mule man. And he was 1147 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: genuinely interested in what my interpretation of the color of 1148 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 1: this mule that he'd had on his farm for the 1149 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 1: last fifteen years. And I guess just right where I'm 1150 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: at in my life, I was I have worked on 1151 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 1: boldness and confidence as a as a thing, moving out 1152 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 1: of insecurity and fear, movement towards boldness and confidence, which 1153 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: if you swing the pendulum too far, you become arrogant 1154 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: and think you know it all. Here's this guy that 1155 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: should have did have boldness and confidence, but also had 1156 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 1: no problem with me, this young guy who doesn't know 1157 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: anything like telling him what color his mule was, that 1158 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 1: his humility impact the way carried himself. He deflected praise 1159 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: like I would say, hey, Malpi Borderland's group, you started this, 1160 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 1: you were this main guy, which he was. He totally 1161 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 1: deflected that. And and I see places in my life 1162 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: where I'm I'm not wanting to deflect praise. And that's 1163 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: the stuff that'll get inside of your heart and screw 1164 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 1: you over because it it you building a case for 1165 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 1: yourself that like I am something special, I mean, I 1166 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: am good at that, and and it's it's it's okay 1167 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: to be good at stuff, and it's okay to know 1168 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 1: your capacity and have that confidence of you know, I'm 1169 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: competent in this. But pride and confidence there's a fine 1170 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: line between it and I think, I think we can 1171 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: go we can go the wrong way. And what I 1172 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: saw in Warner Glenn was great Boltenson confidence, but also 1173 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 1: a deep humility. And again it goes It's one of 1174 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 1: those things that you could say the words that he said, 1175 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: and if it was connected back to a guy that really, 1176 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: deep in his heart was prideful, it wouldn't have impacted me. 1177 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 1: But I saw a humility inside of him. The real 1178 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 1: question is, Clay, what color did you think that mule was? 1179 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 1: I had no idea, and I told him, I said, 1180 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, uh it was? He called a straw 1181 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 1: dre and I agreed with him, But I would not 1182 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 1: have Probably somebody more versed in the equine world would 1183 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: have been able to it was. It was kind of 1184 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 1: a reddish base color, but a lot of white dappled 1185 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 1: into it. So, yeah, do you have a photo of 1186 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: that mule, Yeah you should post it on Instagram and 1187 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: asked the world, Well, there's no need to, Warner told 1188 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 1: me it's strawberry rowan man. Well, I'm just curious. It's 1189 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 1: like their blue dress, black dress. Yeah, yeah, maybe people 1190 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 1: see different rays of color. Hey, um, what did you 1191 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 1: guys think of out Warner getting in the fight with 1192 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 1: a border patrol agent. I think that is a amazing 1193 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 1: story and that that happens now that person would never 1194 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of date again. And and that's kind 1195 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: of sad because it was a personal, interpersonal conflict between 1196 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,480 Speaker 1: two people who had had history together. And sometimes something 1197 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 1: so simple like that could could just relieve a bunch 1198 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 1: of stress or de escalate in a weird sense, in 1199 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 1: in in a different environment, it could be a disc 1200 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 1: deescalating scenario instead of an escalating one, you know, where 1201 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 1: verbally they could have been assaulting each other, and maybe 1202 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: for the type of people they were, it would have 1203 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: been much worse. So you're saying like this like solved 1204 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: the problem they had. I think it should have been Okay, okay, 1205 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, I'm not saying that's said. It 1206 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 1: sounds like they had a relationship that was escalating towards that, 1207 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: and I think they were both consenting to that kind 1208 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 1: of relationship. They could have definitely solved it just by 1209 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 1: behaving differently, but neither of them at that time wanted to. 1210 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 1: So that's what I perceived that the details of the 1211 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: story were this we we didn't get into the actual 1212 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 1: details of the story. So this is like big open country. 1213 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: They use that phrase, but it's true, it's just big 1214 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: open country. Well, they have roads through the farm, and 1215 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 1: one of these roads had a gate on it that 1216 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: just inhibited vehicular traffic on the road, just so somebody 1217 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: that's not supposed to be there could just drive down 1218 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the road. So it wasn't keeping cattle out at what 1219 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything. Well, Warner goes to his gate and 1220 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,920 Speaker 1: he sees that someone has driven around the gate and 1221 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 1: driven on the road, and he sees tire tracks on 1222 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: his grass, and out there, grass is a very valued 1223 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 1: commodity for cattle, and so he's like, somebody drove on 1224 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: my grass. And he had actually, like some time before, 1225 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 1: had talked to the border patrol because they come on 1226 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: his land freely constantly because of where he lives on 1227 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,120 Speaker 1: the border, and he had told he had seen so 1228 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 1: two or three much prior, he'd seen tracks. Just driving 1229 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: through one of his fields, he sees a Border patrol 1230 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,720 Speaker 1: agent and he says, hey, I saw some strange tracks 1231 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 1: in my field. And the guy goes it was me, 1232 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 1: and Warner goes, hey, no problem. Do you mind next 1233 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 1: time trying to stay on the road, and the guy 1234 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,919 Speaker 1: this is a different guy than he fought. The guy says, 1235 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: no problem, I'm sorry, it was a mistake. Two months later, 1236 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: Warner goes to this gate. He sees tracks going around 1237 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 1: the gate, which they had a key to the gate, 1238 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 1: so they could have just unlocked the gate and went 1239 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 1: through it. This new Border patrol agent says, yeah, it 1240 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 1: was me. I drove around the gate. That's how it started. 1241 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,760 Speaker 1: And then Warner's like, well, sir, you have a key. 1242 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 1: I have given you permission to come on my land. 1243 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: As the cattle rancher, I've asked you not to drive 1244 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: on my grass. That's the way I make a living. 1245 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 1: And then the guy spouts off and goes, I can 1246 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 1: do whatever I want. I misunderstood that story. I thought 1247 01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,480 Speaker 1: it was the same guy. I thought it was a 1248 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: conflict that had It's a conflict, was just with the 1249 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 1: agency driving on his land. But so there was a 1250 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: couple of guys that were like no, just like absolutely, sir, 1251 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: our fault are bad. This guy came in with an 1252 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,680 Speaker 1: attitude and was like, I can do whatever I want 1253 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: on your land because I'm who I am and I 1254 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 1: wear this uniform. And that's that's what made Warner mad. Okay, 1255 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: I miss interest to the story. I retract my statement. Well, 1256 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 1: I think I think it could your statements still made 1257 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: sense to me. Well, I just feel like it's it's 1258 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: dangerous because what happened is Warner had conflict with organization 1259 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,439 Speaker 1: of people, and this man, for whatever reason, triggered that 1260 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 1: nagative energy. I don't think you should be disrespectful when 1261 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 1: he's allowing you it's private land, he's allowing you to 1262 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 1: take access, and he's been so generous to you. I 1263 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 1: think there's there's other ways of doing things, and I 1264 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: don't want to hate somebody. I don't think that's a 1265 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 1: very nice thing. I don't think he thought it was 1266 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: a nice thing either, but he he could just been 1267 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: having a bad day. I struggle a little bit with 1268 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: putting it in there because it's it's not like we 1269 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 1: want to like highlight and say someone's a hero for 1270 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: beating up a law enforcement guy. That's actually the opposite. 1271 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: It's the opposite of everything. It's the opposite of what 1272 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying about Warner Glenn being a humble man. That 1273 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: is the opposite of humility. It's also the opposite of 1274 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: just in general. You're not gonna want to do that 1275 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: in your life. I don't mean interrupt, but I was 1276 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna say what I think showcase. What you're speaking of, though, 1277 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 1: is how he processed what happened and how he spoke 1278 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,679 Speaker 1: to you about it afterwards, and the fact that he said, 1279 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, I gotta I had to own it. 1280 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,639 Speaker 1: I took my I took my lumps. I made a mistake. 1281 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: I became better for it. You know knows he shouldn't 1282 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: have done it. Now he's hot in the moment. Think 1283 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,400 Speaker 1: about all the different options I think, really in your 1284 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,280 Speaker 1: life with the people that you know and somebody, let 1285 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 1: me just get okay. Option like, there's different endings for 1286 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: this book. The book to this point goes to Warner 1287 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 1: Glenn getting in the fist fight and sure enough, rubbing 1288 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: his face in the dirt. Did you like do you 1289 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: like how he said that. I thought it was real 1290 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 1: cowboy way to say it. He was just like I 1291 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 1: put his face in the dirt. He's he so Option 1292 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:12,559 Speaker 1: one is he gets in trouble, he defends himself to 1293 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the point of like I was justified in this. I 1294 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: don't care what you say, and he becomes bitter the 1295 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 1: rest of his life at the at the Feds, and 1296 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,640 Speaker 1: that bitterness would translate into him giving them trouble for 1297 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: the next eighty years of his life. He stays up 1298 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: at night thinking about ways that he's gonna stick it 1299 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,560 Speaker 1: to the Border Patrol. That would be a very likely response. 1300 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean, think about it, some old cowboy out in 1301 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 1: the desert. That is a very real possibility. And then 1302 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,559 Speaker 1: maybe there's just two endings. The other ending is the 1303 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,640 Speaker 1: guy going, I made a mistake. This guy was you know, 1304 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 1: the guy was in the wrong. Sure in this individual 1305 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: little sector. This guy, yeah, I was probably a punk, 1306 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 1: but it was a mistake and he wasn't embittered against 1307 01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 1: the Border Patrol. He has a great relationship with the 1308 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,040 Speaker 1: Border Patrol. But his ability to bounce back from doing 1309 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 1: something wrong, which that is a human trait that is 1310 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: highly is a very valuable trait because everybody's gonna mess 1311 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: stuff up so much. Your life is not getting it 1312 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: right every time, But how you're gonna respond when you 1313 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:18,600 Speaker 1: do something wrong, because man, bitterness is like the And 1314 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: I think that's part of what maybe Warner was insinuating 1315 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: talking about when the first thing that came out of 1316 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 1: his mouth when I asked him what's the secret to 1317 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,679 Speaker 1: having a good life, he said, don't worry about stuff. 1318 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: I think that could be. I think people sometimes become 1319 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 1: embittered or fearful or hurt in some way by real 1320 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: negative interactions. But to be able to take that, grow 1321 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 1: from it, learn from it. And then sometimes I think 1322 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 1: in somebody's life, maybe the conclusion that you come to 1323 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: isn't always as direct in the person's mind. But in 1324 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 1: the book there's a book written about Warner Glind called 1325 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,200 Speaker 1: Warner Glind The Life and Times of an American Cowboy, 1326 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 1: I think is what it is called. The author, Ed Ashurst, 1327 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:06,400 Speaker 1: is the one who made the conclusion that that interaction 1328 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 1: when Warrener was forty seven years old, scripted the next well, 1329 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: you know now almost forty years later in his life. 1330 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 1: Because he became very skillful at dealing with people that 1331 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: were in opposition to him, which he said he used 1332 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 1: to have a really volatile temper. It was an inflection 1333 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 1: point for him, and I think maybe in Warner's you know, 1334 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:30,439 Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk to him, you know, it's 1335 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 1: not like he probably was just like I will now 1336 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: change and become a great diplomat to the federal government. 1337 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 1: Like but it but it impacted him, and he he 1338 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 1: he became somebody that was very influential in that part 1339 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,439 Speaker 1: of the world. And they were known for bringing together 1340 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 1: groups that hated each other and we're at odds with 1341 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: each other, bringing them in Manu. Guys like Warner, wherever 1342 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: they go, it seems like they bring stabil a the 1343 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: in peace just like just just just an ability to 1344 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: just like walking through it. Just like Warner, Glenn riding 1345 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 1: up on his you know, banditos carrying drugs across the border. 1346 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: Like he didn't get killed, He didn't the situation. You know, 1347 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 1: somebody could have gone to that and blew that situation up, 1348 01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,800 Speaker 1: pull their gun. What do you guys doing You got drugs? Er, 1349 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean you freaked out or something or ran away 1350 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,880 Speaker 1: or Warner just rides up on his meal and just 1351 01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 1: like hey, you know, a lom. He goes got some drugs. Okay, 1352 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: well we're just lying hunting any line tracks ride past. 1353 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 1: It just just to deescalate the situation. So that's what 1354 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 1: he learned to do, which before maybe his his thing 1355 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 1: was to escalate it. It sounds to me like he's 1356 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 1: a really good leader, and it sounds like his daughter 1357 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 1: has acquired those skills from him. Did you get that 1358 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 1: impression when you were around them? Sure, Yeah, for sure, 1359 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 1: just hearing her talk about her father, or talking about 1360 01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,599 Speaker 1: the work or the activity s. They just felt like 1361 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 1: she really benefited from his his state of mind and 1362 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 1: it has learned a lot, And I think that's super attractive. 1363 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 1: I imagine he had a lot of miles in the 1364 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 1: saddle to think about and replay that whole experience, like 1365 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 1: with the agent, Like he's you know, when he's out 1366 01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 1: riding the range and looking for lions, and I doubt 1367 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: he's got headphones on listening to the podcast. He's probably 1368 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 1: just reflecting on his life. Of course, he's obviously right 1369 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,400 Speaker 1: now he's saying that, But yeah, I imagine he had 1370 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot of alone time to really think about that, 1371 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,560 Speaker 1: what impact that had on his life and how that 1372 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 1: could have gone in a lot of different ways, like 1373 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: just being able to sit quietly with yourself and reflect 1374 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: on that they're probably yeah, helped him come to that conclusion. 1375 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,760 Speaker 1: I gotta kick out of how when he told his 1376 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 1: old man about the experience, So I can't do that 1377 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 1: to a law enforcement office. Yeah, yeah, you wonder you 1378 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 1: wonder where, like where that came from. He's like, wait, 1379 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: you can't, Like I thought that was I kept that 1380 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 1: in there so much. But I liked it because his 1381 01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 1: dad took his side. You know, his dad could have 1382 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,960 Speaker 1: been mad at him. Dad could have been like, Warner, 1383 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,040 Speaker 1: you're jeopardizing our whole life. You could you know, he 1384 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: could have been he could have scolded it, and he 1385 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 1: could have. But his first response was to take the 1386 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: side of his son, which that could have gone either 1387 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,400 Speaker 1: way too. I mean, it seems natural that you take 1388 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,160 Speaker 1: the side of your son, but not necessarily. I thought 1389 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 1: it was his way of explaining to his son that 1390 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 1: it's okay. Yeah, in a very very nice, relaxed manner. Man, 1391 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 1: do you think there's some old retired Border Patrol agents 1392 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, man, like father like son, Like Marvin's 1393 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,200 Speaker 1: had a dust up before and he's like, probably not 1394 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,759 Speaker 1: to throw shade on Marvin. I doubt that happened. But yeah, well, guys, 1395 01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,479 Speaker 1: thanks for thanks for being guests on the Burgers podcast. 1396 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: This has been good.

It's been 1401 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,559 Speaker 1: a it's been a treat. Yeah, well, it's been a 1402 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 1: lot of fun. True shout out to Gary and Judy. Yeah, 1403 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:14,559 Speaker 1: thanks as well. Yep, yep. If we'd had a seventh 1404 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,679 Speaker 1: Mike or a night Mike, we'd had Judy and Gary 1405 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 1: on here with us. But next time, next time you 1406 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,640 Speaker 1: really need to maybe you there to have because I 1407 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,720 Speaker 1: haven't got to listen to all the render episodes, but 1408 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:30,360 Speaker 1: the world needs to know about Gary's detail oriented white tail. 1409 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Were you impressed? I was really impressed. Your dad is 1410 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: way more white tailed gear savvy than you are. Clay, 1411 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh he's he's in it nuanced. Yeah yeah yeah, and say, 1412 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,639 Speaker 1: oh man, we've we've now started a whole another segment 1413 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 1: of the podcast. I am the way I am because 1414 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 1: he's the way he is. You went the opposite direction, 1415 01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,680 Speaker 1: I really did. I will just lay out this illustration. 1416 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:58,040 Speaker 1: This one simple thing told me so much about Clay. 1417 01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,559 Speaker 1: When we packed up camp to head into go hunting 1418 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,759 Speaker 1: the mountains and he had his climbing sticks, they were loose, 1419 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,720 Speaker 1: there were ropes everywhere, and he was just shoving individual 1420 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: single sticks into the pant hears of the horse. I'm thinking, man, 1421 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 1: is this how you operate? And so yeah, different strokes 1422 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 1: for different folks. And your dad as though, talking about 1423 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: how he's drilling his climbing sticks to reduce weight and 1424 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 1: he's using am steel ropes to be as quiet as possible, 1425 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 1: and discussing how he saw a photo of how I 1426 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,559 Speaker 1: stacked my sticks on the back of my backpack and 1427 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,400 Speaker 1: how envious it made him, and how he wanted to 1428 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 1: find new ways to organize his stack. Hey, yeah, I 1429 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: would say this in front of my dad. So this 1430 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 1: this is not like hiding something, but like his The 1431 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,639 Speaker 1: way he handled hunting stressed me out as a kid 1432 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 1: because we we had to I mean it's classic father 1433 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,639 Speaker 1: son stuff. We had to, you know, try to meet 1434 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 1: his standards for stuff, and it it stressed me out 1435 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: and So when I left the coupe, when I went 1436 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,759 Speaker 1: to college and started hunting the own, I went into 1437 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 1: a season of life that my hunting was very shortened 1438 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: because I had a family and was trying to build 1439 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 1: a career in life. And I had to determine what 1440 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: were the limiting fact true limiting factors of my hunting. 1441 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 1: And I cut off a bunch of stuff. And I 1442 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 1: don't tell anybody, but I actually killed way more deer. 1443 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: All right, No one gets a rebuttal. Thank you guys, 1444 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,599 Speaker 1: very good. Appreciate great week. Keep the wild place as 1445 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,759 Speaker 1: wild because that's where the deer go through the saddles.
