9
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: is Q and A the boys. It is dang near

10
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. You got any New Year's resolutions?

11
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: Henna be working?

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: I think we should tackle the fact that us adult

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: man all in this rumor on Christmas break much like

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: your children.

15
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Uh huh, and well.

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: I think it's important to note that in order to

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: go on Christmas break, you have to do three times

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: the amount of work ahead of time in order to

19
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: then have the break.

20
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: Which is fine.

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 5: The past two weeks have convinced me that I don't

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: really want a Christmas break moving forward. Just too much stuff, plus,

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 5: you know, less time at home with the family.

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you two without the kids obviously don't understand it.

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 6: Kids get about sixteen days off coming up here. Oh,

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 6: we're in the midst of it, right, hmm as we're live.

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 5: Here, am I right? Phil?

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, appreciate the choir bud. All right.

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: The question was does anybody have any New Year's resolutions?

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: It's January tewond when the show comes out.

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna start drinking at.

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Work, okay, Cal has an Edmund Fitzgerald logger.

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, eight Lake's Brewing Company. It's a porter. Okay, very

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: tasty six percent.

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: She's a doozy thirty seven. It's pretty tough for me

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: these days.

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: He's going to start talking like Michigan you're here soon.

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a resolution, but I did

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: get lucky enough to sign up and get onto the

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: roster to run the Crazy Mountain one hundred and so

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: it's pretty exciting.

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: When is it.

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 4: It's July twenty fifth, Okay, so I have roughly six

44
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 4: months of heavy duty training and that started by now.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 5: Yes, we should backpack in there and just set up

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: a checkpoint.

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: That is a great, great idea. We did my family

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: and I did that last year. At Sunlight Lake and

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: watched all the runners come through. We stay up until

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: like midnight.

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 5: Is that what lit the fire for you? No, like

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: I should be out there.

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: I paced the year prior to that, and that got me.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: I'm pretty excited to do it.

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I could pack in there with the

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: old steel chainsaws and help out a lot of the

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: runners there, because there's a lot of blowdown in that race. Really, Yeah,

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: miles through that country.

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I think they have it. Well, I haven't heard that,

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 4: but it might be a thing. Well.

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Randall's brother he did a pre run and.

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: He did like sixty miles like a couple of weeks

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: before the race to just check out part of the course.

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: And because he was running it.

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then he got into a horrific bicycle accident

67
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: and destroyed his arm. But he did run into a

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: lot of blowdown on that shakeout run, So I can't

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: say if he was officially on the course at that

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: point in time. The navigation skills are questionable at best,

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: but he did encounter blowdowns on that run.

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: I did sit with him on the couch while he

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: just destroyed like four pizzas by himself.

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, which was cool. To see.

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just got back from the rodeo.

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah he was being I mean, yeah, he was having

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: a great time.

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: Any other resolutions in the room besides Yanni's making a

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: big old run up a mountain Corey.

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm hoping to help deplete the predator population

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 6: in Region one of Montana. Hopefully when this podcast comes

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 6: out on the second, I'll have a couple down, a

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 6: couple of wolves down.

85
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not reaching.

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: Too far into twenty twenty five.

87
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 6: Hopefully by the first week I have my first.

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 5: Wolf in the back of the truck.

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to start creating a history with a

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: place that I hunt. Ever since I moved to Montana,

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't have a place that I've went back to

92
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: more than two consecutive years, and that kind of disappoints

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: me that looking back at like when I'd hunt the

94
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: same property when I lived in South Dakota, like for

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: five or six straight years, sometimes a decade in some cases.

96
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: You'd like it to know bucks and spots, and you'd

97
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: like really create relationship with the place, and I haven't

98
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: had that since I moved out here, So I need

99
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: to start finding a place. It's like that's my spot.

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: That's a spot I go to every year and I

101
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: think next year it begins. Is like when I find

102
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: the place that I go to for the third consecutive

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: year and then that all of a sudden becomes a

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: place in a decade from now that I'm still going

105
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: to to haunt.

106
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 5: So to clarify, are you still looking for that spot

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 5: or might you go back to one of the spots.

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: I have some spots in mind, but I'd also like

109
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 2: love to start, you know, a new spot, and find

110
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: a place this coming year that I think could be

111
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: that kind of spot. So I'm just like missing missing

112
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: a thing in my fall where I really deeply know

113
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: a place and I want that back.

114
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: It's lovely, I hear you. I hear it because it's

115
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: good to have both, because I think there's a lot

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: of credit to give to someone that doesn't hunt more

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 4: than a year or two in the same spot, because

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 4: you're forced to learn new places and be successful in

119
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: new places. But you can have both, Yeah, you can

120
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: definitely have both. And I love going back to a

121
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: spot you know that I've been to, and I know

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: it's it's more casual. It takes away some of the

123
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: stress for me.

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: No, that's true. But it is a crutch though too.

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: So like if you're the person who's like, well, our

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: family hunting camp is this and that's my week of hunting,

127
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: there's there's It puts some limitations on your effectiveness as

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: a hunter because, like you just you got to be

129
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: challenged with you know, the figuring stuff out as you go.

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, listen, I think it made me a better hunter.

131
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: But I want a spot. That's my spot now and

132
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: I haven't had that living in Montana yet. Next year

133
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: it starts, Randall, call any resolutions before we start tackling

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: these questions.

135
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Well, you want to jump back to the Edmund Fitzgerald

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: porter here.

137
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 5: There's a tremendous amount of oxidation around the well.

138
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: I would I want to know, like, oh, I think

139
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: this be like the best gimmick in the world. So

140
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: for folks who don't know, the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk okay,

141
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: and it's a big rusty hulk and the cap on

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the beer bottle rusted all the way around. That was

143
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: like part of the flavor profile. We got those beers

144
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I think I'm real sitting Yeah,

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah.

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: They came into a freighter from the Great Lakes.

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to spend a year underwater in order

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: to be sold.

149
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: Like I'm in, I'm in.

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: So like hunting related things, I need to kind of

151
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion this year that my Montana mule

152
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: deer spot is just like it needs to be burned.

153
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: The habitat is wrong at this point to where it

154
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: used to be. You know, it was hard to intercept

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 1: Muldier in there, but when you did, they were big.

156
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Now it's like kind of like, oh, oh my god,

157
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: there's a deer in here, and it's a it's a

158
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: hard place. So I need to start expanding and doing

159
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: some some summertime exploration of some other spots, which I just.

160
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 7: When you're gonna say you'd burn it, appreciate habitat management there,

161
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 7: so that that would be one thing.

162
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: And he did go find know a new good mule

163
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: deer zone and then uh man.

164
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: Just.

165
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: Going through cases of shells on the shotgun side of

166
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: things over the summer, just shooting more in general center

167
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: fire as well. But that's just got to be a

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: part of the program. And you know, schedules get so

169
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: jacked up it's hard to prioritize this stuff, but man,

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: does it pay dividends. So and then getting back on

171
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: just like a really consistent dog training schedule. These dogs

172
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: benefit so much from that consistency. And that's a hard

173
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: thing to pull off with the type of travel that

174
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: we do too.

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: But I.

176
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Can still do better.

177
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: What is going well in your life?

178
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: I wear.

179
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna turn this thing around.

180
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 5: The dog training.

181
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I wear the same clothing like three days a week.

182
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I can make that four days a week and get

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: more dog training, you know, sacrifices. I'm getting to be

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: that way with age easy, Like, don't wash pants now

185
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: for weeks on end.

186
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm like this, I supposed to wash jeans very often.

187
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 4: I don't know when the last time that shirt was washed.

188
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I beat it up, throw on some pitstick. Yeah,

189
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: I swapped out the interior shirt here.

190
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that I do more often.

191
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: Random, What do you have to add?

192
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just I need to stop lying

193
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: around me.

194
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 5: With that starts with myself. Actually, in all honesty, I

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: need to I need to shoot my rifle lot more.

196
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: I used to be in the habit of shooting, you know,

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: a couple of thousand rounds and the center fire in

198
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: a year, And this past year was probably the worst

199
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: year for shooting that I've had, just in terms of volume.

200
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: And you know, there's nothing like just good old practice

201
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: to make you feel like you're ready when the fall

202
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: rolls around twenty five.

203
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: Did the lack of practice affect your hunt? Did you

204
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: have a miss this year?

205
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 5: Uh?

206
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: Yes, but I don't know that practice would have.

207
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: It was a very bad situation just to rush. But yeah,

208
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: I just like I got into I was like getting

209
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: all my stuff ready and I you know, putting my

210
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 5: rifle in the truck, and I'm like, man, I I

211
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 5: should shoot more. I used to shoot a lot, like

212
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 5: literally burning out barrels and rebarreling rifles.

213
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: But you know, work just gets.

214
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 5: In the way. Family, all sorts, commitments. Yeah, the dogs,

215
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: they're just always trying to get my attention and they

216
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: don't like shooting rifles.

217
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: So it's tough.

218
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna be more selfish this year, I guess.

219
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: Is what I'm saying.

220
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: Can you shoot at your house now?

221
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes?

222
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: Oh nice shoots on his property, but not at his house.

223
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

224
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 6: It's gonna get awfully drafted if you shoot too often.

225
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: Cute, all right, we're gonna tackle some listener questions here.

226
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: We got about ten of these. First one is from James.

227
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm in my forties, I live in Northeast, Ohio and

228
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: welcome by. I'm having a dad who hunted. I never

229
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: took an interest until recently. What would be your advice

230
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: for the first thing someone should do to take their

231
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: first step towards hunting white tail deer. I've shot guns

232
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: for many years as a hobby and recently took my

233
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: first archery lesson. I'm open to gun hunting or bow hunting.

234
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: To answer this question. First, here is Mark Kenyon.

235
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: Why Mark getting an all?

236
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 8: Right?

237
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 9: This is a great question and one that we hear

238
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 9: from folks frequently, people that are intrigued by white tailed

239
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 9: deer hunting but just don't know where to start. And

240
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 9: my number one piece of advice is to seek out

241
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 9: a mentor. There's so much to learn to get started

242
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 9: as a deer hunter. There are so many different things

243
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 9: about deer behavior, deer habitat, hunting strategy. You can get

244
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 9: some of that from podcasts and videos of which we

245
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 9: have plenty of metator you can read about these things

246
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 9: and magazines and web articles. But the single best way

247
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 9: you can learn is to actually find a real life

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 9: person who can answer your questions, who can maybe take

249
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 9: you out there in the field with them and show

250
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 9: you some of these things firsthand. And there is a

251
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 9: terrific program to help you find a mentor, and that

252
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 9: is called the Field to Fork program is put on

253
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 9: by the National Deer Association.

254
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: You can sign up.

255
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 9: To be connected with mentors like this through their program

256
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 9: and to possibly go through this incredible educational experience. If

257
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 9: you go to your association dot com slash field to

258
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 9: Fork that's f I E L D dash t O

259
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 9: dash fork. Go to that website, do the new hunter survey,

260
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 9: see who they connect you with. Be a part of

261
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 9: that program if you can. There's also a Deer Hunting

262
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 9: one oh one online course you can participate in through

263
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 9: that program that will definitely give you some of those

264
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 9: building blocks to get started.

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: Good luck.

266
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: That thorough answer is why Mark Kenyon got to go first, Yanni.

267
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: But what would you like to add?

268
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: It's pretty solid. It's pretty solid. Now that I heard it,

269
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: I might have to retract my earlier statement.

270
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: The seriousness of tone in that in that short clip,

271
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: I think, really is it odds with the mood in

272
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: this room right now. So I'm just feeling a little conflicted.

273
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: About Art doesn't want you to have fun when you're

274
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 4: out there. White tail.

275
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, I tell this folk, I mean, Northeast Ohio is

276
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: a great play. I mean, you have a short it's

277
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: a short range weapon state, right, so it's a straight

278
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: wall car tread if you want to shoot center fire,

279
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: but you can. There's a shotgun, season, muzzleloader, season.

280
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Man cross pos.

281
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: You want to own a shotgun, you got spring Turkey.

282
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: That's big Turkey state. Lots of grouse and you can

283
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: shoot a deer with with a shotgun there, so barrier

284
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: to entry is pretty low. Lots of lots of cool,

285
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: cool stuff in Northeast Ohio.

286
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: I got two piece of advice for James. First one

287
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: would be Randall Williams is from Ohio, so reach out

288
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: to him. He'll tell you all his spots, give you

289
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: all his connections.

290
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: Opposite corners of the state.

291
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,479
Speaker 2: Though it doesn't matter salty Chile spaghetti.

292
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: I think. I think if you, if you want to

293
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 5: kill a deer in Ohio, find a place where you

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 5: are allowed to hunt. And at least when I was

295
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: growing up by a crossbow go buy a Barnett Rhino

296
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: or whatever the entry level crossbow is these days, and

297
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 5: that's how we figured things out.

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: It's a lot of deer in Ohio.

299
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just saw a giant two hundred plus

300
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: inched buck just got whacked on public land in Ohio.

301
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: It's a good state. I'd like. I've never hunted Ohio.

302
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to hunt Ohio, but the public land

303
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: in that part of the country hunts a lot bigger

304
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: than other places because you have these rolling hills that

305
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: are really timbered. So there's a lot of opportunities.

306
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Oh, explain, hunts big. That's a great hunting phrase.

307
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: Hunting big would be like if you had two eighty

308
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: acre parcels, one of them was seventy acres of corn

309
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: with ten acres of timber and slew grass that are

310
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: flat that hunts small, Whereas if you had eighty acres

311
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: of rolling hills with creek bottoms, that would hunt big.

312
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: You feel like you don't see everything when you're hunting

313
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: that eighty acres versus if you're hunting the eighty acres

314
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: that's all cornfield and a little bit of slew and timber.

315
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: So Ohio I think a lot of the public land

316
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: there hunts bigger than other parts of the Midwest. Here's

317
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: the other thing I'd say to James. As someone who

318
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: picked up a new hobby during the pandemic, which was

319
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: rock counting, I learned so much of what I know now,

320
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: or like gained a foundational level of knowledge just through

321
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: watching YouTube videos a lot and a lot of YouTube videos,

322
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: and deer hunting is no different.

323
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: You're not going to be young because, like you couldn't

324
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: identify a rock before, you can find the Internet held

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: the tube as well.

326
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it sure got a lot easier. The barrier

327
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: to entry is much.

328
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: Always run away from you. You couldn't figure out how

329
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: to where to find them.

330
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Uh huh, So James, uh, YouTube is going to help

331
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: you out. It's probably not going to be the reason

332
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: you kill a deer, but you'll you'll find a lot

333
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: of relatable content there from meat Eater and others. Anybody

334
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: else have any advice for James?

335
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 6: I mean, finding a mentor is huge. But if you're

336
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 6: struggling to find a mentor or you know, schedules don't align,

337
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 6: just go out go hunting. You'll make mistakes, but you'll.

338
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: Got to put yourself out there.

339
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 5: That's right.

340
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: Just find a spot so that there's deer everywhere. Find

341
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: a spot you know you can hunt legally and learn it.

342
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: Learn that landscape, learn that property, whatever it is. Maybe

343
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: go knock on some doors. You can get yourself a

344
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 4: spot where you don't have to have any competition. But yeah,

345
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: I think learning the landscape really helps people be successful.

346
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: And don't think that you need to dedicate whole days.

347
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: Like whole days and multiple days in a row are fantastic,

348
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: but those are hard to come by. So if you

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: can find a spot that's close to you where you

350
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: can kind of eliminate that like, oh, it's not worth

351
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: going out type of mentality. Man, you can learn so

352
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: much by those fifteen minute, twenty minute hour long sessions

353
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: where you know it's like, sure you got to you know,

354
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: it could be home washing clothes or something.

355
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 5: But we know you don't need to do that very often.

356
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we already covered that.

357
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: All right, James is gonna kill a big old buck

358
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. Here's the next question. This is

359
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: from Joe. For those with kids, what are your go

360
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: to places to getting quality youth hunting base layers and

361
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: outerwear for cold weather hunts. We put our two fathers

362
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: on this side of the table. They even dressed the

363
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: same today.

364
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: They just got back from an audition to be the

365
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: next Brownie paper towel man.

366
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: Some great dad jokes too.

367
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: We go, Yanni, Corey, how do you outfit your kids

368
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: when you're going out hunting or just doing anything.

369
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: In cold letthers?

370
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: You know, I'll be honest and that, you know, I

371
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: get a pretty steep discount with the old first light.

372
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 4: And even one of my girls were they make an

373
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: extra extra small in women two x small I believe so.

374
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: Oh and so even when they were super small, we

375
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: could fit them into that, you know, and then we

376
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: just did the hand me down thing as we grew

377
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 4: up into them. So that's one way to do it.

378
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you're getting the highest quality of youth,

379
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: but that's you know, it can be expensive. I think

380
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 4: you can do uh an ari I I mean these

381
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 4: days synthetic bass layers. I mean, let's be honest, like

382
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: it's if it's polyester's polyester, right, you can go get

383
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: some knockoff stuff at Target. Probably if it's not cotton,

384
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: you're probably gonna get pretty close to similar benefits from

385
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 4: buying super expensive synthetic bass layers, and it's gonna get

386
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: the job done for you. Then when your kids trash

387
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: it or grow out of it, you're not out a

388
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: bunch of money.

389
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corey, I don't know if Marshall's been on too

390
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: many haunts yet, but I assume he's done some skiing

391
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: with you. How do you get him dressed for those?

392
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you kind of took the answer right out of

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 6: my mouth.

394
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: That was a weird way of saying skiing. What wash?

395
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Do you not like skiing?

396
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: What's your deal like skiing? I didn't think I said

397
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: it weird skiing along with you? Yeah?

398
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 6: No, ski anyway?

399
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: I competent, I'm not. I don't feel like I'm gonna

400
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 2: go out there and do a green and break my arm.

401
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: So that's that's the sweet spot for me.

402
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 6: I mean, my kid's only six. We've gone on one

403
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: spring turkey hunting, multiple fall and winter squirrel hunts, so actually, yeah,

404
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: wearing ski gear is what we've been doing. I mean,

405
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 6: just staying warm is so crucial, and then having two,

406
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 6: if not three, backup pairs of clothes because inevitably they're

407
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 6: getting wet and uncomfortable, so having backup boots, socks, gloves,

408
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 6: just to keep them out there as long as you

409
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: can is what I do. And then for like bass layers, man,

410
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 6: we just go to Costco and get the good, solid

411
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 6: synthetic stuff for nine dollars.

412
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: I've ran into Corey twice at Costco. If I was

413
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: trying to pattern him, to assassinate him, I just go

414
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: to Costco and then Winco because I know he goes

415
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: to Winco as well.

416
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 6: Meet me in the food court line at about eleven

417
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 6: ond Yeah, and I assume with ski gear they make

418
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 6: that for kids of like all sizes, just like little tykes,

419
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 6: oh yeah, to teens yep, little guys. Yeah, so warm

420
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 6: and comfy.

421
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: Anything else to add from the fatherless people in the room, goodwill, Well,

422

Speaker 2: the childless the childless people. Of course, you have a father.

424
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: What do you think cal if you're gonna dress up

425
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 5: a little kid?

426
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 4: Well, remember the question is where, where where do you

427

Speaker 4: find them? Well? Good?

428
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you randall. So a ton of my hunting

429
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: stuff came from the Saint Vincent to Paul Church thrift store,

430
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: and my grandma worked at and so you know, should

431
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: cherry pick the fifty wool items for us? I mean yeah,

432
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the stuff to grab, especially if

433
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: folks are gonna if they're really hard on stuff, or

434
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: if they're going to grow out of it, right, I

435
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: mean go recycled.

436
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

437
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 5: I just say, find a well to do family with

438
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 5: kids slightly older than yours and get their hand me

439
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 5: downs and pattern kids are always getting made, you know,

440
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 5: and it's just like you find an age class slightly

441
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 5: about yours and position yourself to benefit from.

442
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: That that work. We've gotten a lot of hand me

443
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 4: downs from families.

444
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: That for some.

445
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 5: Advice from the childless side of the room here, or.

446
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: Just don't have kids like me, callan Randall. Here's the

447
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: next question. This is from Adam What qualities should I

448
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: look for when picking boots to hunt elk? And Wyoming?

449
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: What are your go to boots for a western elk hunt?

450
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: To answer this question here is Jason Phelps.

451
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 8: He's probably should I look for when picking boots to

452
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 8: elk hunt Wyoming? And then what are my go to

453
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 8: boots on a western elk hunt? So the qualities I'm

454
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 8: looking for, it really depends on where you're hunting, what

455
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 8: type of hunt you've gotten, and really how tough your

456
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 8: feet are. Everybody's a little bit different and everybody's foot

457
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 8: shapes a little bit different. So a boot that may

458
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 8: work perfect for me, may not work for you, may

459
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 8: not work for somebody else. So you need to try

460
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 8: all these boots on number one, they need to fit.

461
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 8: So that's one quality you need to have. You need

462
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 8: to fit your heel pocket based on what insoles you have.

463
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 8: You need to make sure you don't get hotspots on

464
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 8: steep stuff down and uphill. But then as far as

465
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 8: where are you hunting, If you're above tree line and

466
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 8: the steep stuff, you know, hunting above the you know

467
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 8: the goats and you know mountain goats and sheep, then

468
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 8: you're gonna want a booth that's typically stiffer. You're gonna

469
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 8: want a boot that's typically taller. Is you put more

470
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 8: stress on your feet, you're gonna And then if I'm

471
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 8: hunting the sage brush maybe flatter stuff in Wyoming, I'm

472
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 8: gonna go for a boot that's more flexible, something that

473
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 8: you know my foot won't fatigue is quickly. And even

474
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 8: though I'm in a more flexible boot, versus if you

475
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 8: take that flexible boot up high and the steep stuff

476
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 8: at your foot may fatigue throughout the hunt. And then

477
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 8: as far as what are my specific go to boots

478
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 8: on a western el cut, I found that the Crispy

479
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 8: bricks All line of boots works best. So they've got

480
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: like a four flex rating uninsulated boot I wear on

481
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 8: a lot of my September hunts. You know, went on

482
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 8: a sheep hunt this year. I chose their Pro which

483
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 8: is two inches taller and a stiffer you know sol

484
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 8: on that boot, so I didn't flex as much for

485
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 8: the steep stuff. So for me, Krispy Brickstall and all

486
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 8: those boots work really well. But really, you got to

487
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 8: go try boots on, make sure they fit your foot,

488
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 8: make sure they're comfortable, and uh, that's my recommendation on

489
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 8: western elk cutting boots.

490
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: Johanni, you tackle this one after Jason. What do you

491
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: have to add about finding the right boots for an

492
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: elk hunt?

493
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jason covered it very well there. They

494
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: I would add is oftentimes, like an archery season, when

495
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 4: I know I'm gonna have to be sneaky because I

496
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: want to get in close for an archery shot is

497
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: that the boots need to perform both in hiking, you know,

498
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: climb aircross mountains, then also in those last fifty yards

499
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 4: when you're getting in closed and so I'll have to

500
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 4: go with a boot that is kind of under not undersize,

501
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 4: but it's not what you consider like a mount big

502
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: mountain boot, right because I need it to be soft

503
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: enough so that at the end when it's go time,

504
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 4: I can maybe run a little bit very comfortably. I

505
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: can be very sneaky and quiet. Usually the bigger the

506
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 4: boots get, the burlier they get, the soul gets stiffer.

507
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 4: The stiffer boot is, the noisier the boot is. There's

508
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: nothing like sneaking through the woods and a pair of

509
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: running shoes like the elk cannot hear you coming. So

510
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: that's something to consider. But otherwise I think Jason covered

511
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 4: it pretty good.

512
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not even mountain like even like

513
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: right now or yesterday. Now with our current warming trend

514
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: to what we're going through, which is so annoying. Walking

515
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: through fields that are frozen with a full shank stiff

516
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: mountain boot is very unpleasant because there's just no flex

517
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: in that boot. But you take that boot onto steep terrain,

518
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: shale rock and it's the best it's your it's your

519
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: best friend. So you do having a little bit of

520
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: a quiver some options throughout your season is great. And yeah,

521
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: I would say it'd be don't automatically assume that you

522
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: need like a fully lined boot, like a gore Tex liner,

523
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: because that's going to be a more expensive boot, or

524
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: an insulated boot is gonna you know, it's going to

525
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: perform well only in a specific range of temperatures. So

526
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: if you're hunting in a warm day, then you're gonna

527
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: sweat that boot out from the inside and it's it's

528
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: not going to perform well for you. So I would

529
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: really cause folks to really analyze their season before they

530
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: go into an insulated boot.

531
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: I sure do. And then.

532
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, the you know, there's a everybody's like what is

533
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: the boot? And people have very different feet, just like

534
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: your fingerprints. So there's a gajillion boot companies out there

535
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: for a reason. They all have different lasts, which is

536
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: like the footbed form of the boot, and and that's

537
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: because people have different feet. So don't think that just

538
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: because you need a hunting boot, you need to look

539
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: at hunting boot companies. If you're not finding success in

540
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: hunting boot companies, you know, go look at the Loas

541
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: and the Scarpas and and that mountaineering world too. You know,

542
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: these companies exist for a reason.

543
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 6: So Randall Corey, anything to add footbeds, I mean, yeah,

544
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 6: gets you a good boot, but do not skimp on

545
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: solid footbeds.

546
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 3: That you get.

547
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: That's not very that's not a real expensive upgrade either.

548
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 6: No. I mean you could spend fifty to one hundred

549
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 6: bucks easily with some over the counter stuff, or just

550
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 6: go to your local ARII or whatever, or you could

551
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 6: get some custom ones that might run you a couple

552
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 6: hundred dollars. But anything is going to be better than

553
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 6: what you buy. It's pretty sad you spend five hundred

554
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 6: bucks on a boot and the footbed is garbage. So

555
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 6: make sure you get a better footbed.

556
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: I would only add that, Uh, I think the more

557
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 5: I I guess like over time, I've come to prefer

558
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 5: a lighter and lighter boot, just because heavy boots wear

559
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 5: you out and you like can't wait to get them off.

560
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: So if you don't need something like super high and

561
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: super stiff, I think like things in the lighter end

562
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 5: of you know, there's I have like a spectrum of boots,

563
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: but I often find myself if I can get away

564
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: from it, going with like a lighter option, just because

565
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: it's more comfortable and.

566
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: You never want to take them off.

567
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: The only thing I'd add to this is I've had

568
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: really bad luck ordering hunting boots online. As far as

569
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: sizing goes, it seems that more than casual footwear or

570
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: tennis shoes or dress shoes, hunting shoes or bass slides, yeah,

571
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: any of that, the sizing is much more variable. And

572
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: so if you can find a boot that you can

573
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: go try on in person, it'll make your life easier

574
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: than having to order something online and be prepared to

575
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: then make a couple returns.

576
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: You ha to piggyback on Randall's point there, and Jason

577
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: even mentioned it, like if you're hunting elk above the

578
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 4: mountain goats, that happens to like zero point five percent

579
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: of the elk hunters in our country annually. It's just

580
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: not a thing usually where you're hunting above the mountain goats,

581
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 4: so you don't need boots that are made for that

582
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: alpine shale, super rocky landscape. Because you're just not there

583
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: that much. The elk are usually in the timber.

584
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: Moving on, next question is from Christa. My family eats

585
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: a lot of ground venison, with burgers, tacos, and chili

586
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: firmly in our rotation. What are some other weaknight meals

587
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: with ground meat that are easy, tasty and outside of

588
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: the norm cal. What could you recommend to Christa?

589
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 4: Larb?

590
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's good stuff.

591
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: What larb is really outside of the norm carry?

592
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just finely chopped or ground meat.

593
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: And what is it title?

594
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, make like let us wrap tacos,

595
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: make a little sauce that's totally a winter and it's

596
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little sweet ginger garlicky, little red

597
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: chili in there.

598
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: That's to do some larb tomorrow ground pulled out. I

599
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: needed an idea. There we go.

600
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay, someone else makes some recommendations for Christa and Yanni.

601
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: We we have a delightful uh North African meatball recipe.

602
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: From the New York Times. Oh and we just had

603
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: it last night.

604
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: Little couscous but they're like these little meatballs and kind

605
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: of a it's almost like a I don't know, it's

606
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 5: almost like a you've had those, haven't you.

607
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 4: No.

608
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: I put a lot of trust into the New York

609
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: Times recipes. I haven't been left solid.

610
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 5: The New York Times recipes will not they will not

611
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 5: lead you astray. But yeah, this this North African meatball thing.

612
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: Uh. And to be clear, if you're new to cooking

613
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: wild game, if you find a recipe from The New

614
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: York Times, you can just you know, use venison place

615
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: of ground beef. Yeah, and and basically anything.

616
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 5: We'll make like whole sheet like cookie sheets of these

617
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 5: meatballs and then make the sauce and then Phillip gallon

618
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: baggies with meatballs and sauce and freeze them.

619
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so royal the meatballs to cook them.

620
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but yeah, it's like last night we had

621
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 5: people over for dinner, and we didn't tell them that

622
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 5: would pull these out of the freezer and just simply

623
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: reheated them, But we did and they loved it.

624
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: In a similar not, we make a lot of pot

625
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: stickers at my house. A few times a year. We'll

626
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: set aside a Saturday, we'll just get the Wanton wrappers

627
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: that we get from Elbertsons. But I think they sell

628
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: the same exact ones at Walmart and high V whatever

629
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: your grocery store is, and that makes ground venicson go

630
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 2: a really long ways. We'll do a one to one

631
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: ratio of ground meat and vegetables slash mushrooms. And I

632
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: think this last time we made three hundred potstickers in

633
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: one going. And then that's a super easy freezer meal

634
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: to get out. You freeze them in whatever portion makes

635
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: sense for your family size. You get those out and

636
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: you can be serving them within fifteen fifteen minutes. And

637
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: they're just really easy to make, both like prepping them

638
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: for the freezer and coming out of the freezer. So

639
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: potstickers highly recommend YEP, and you can make them to

640
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: your liking. There's like a certain vegetable or flavor profile

641
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: that you really like or really dislike. Your potstickers can

642
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: be unique to your taste.

643
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Basically every culture has a pot sticker too, so like

644
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: if you want to put like marinara sauce and mozzarella

645
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: in there, like, shoot, it's not that crazy.

646
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: Wantan rappers are a great vessel for just like any

647
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: meats and veggie.

648
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: We filmed a standin sticker with chef Linda here in town.

649
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: Is that hummingbird?

650
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, kitchen.

651
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been looking to go to some of her meals.

652
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 4: You should do it.

653
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: It's super super cool and Linda's who she's, She's super fun.

654
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: But that should be on the media YouTube channel. And

655
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: we do do we do do Wanton's January fourteenth.

656
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 6: That should be on the.

Speaker 2: besides burgers, tacos, and chili.

660
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 6: Man, it's not unique, but y'all ever had hamburger helper?

661
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: I do it without the box grew.

662
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 6: I made help meat, little can of like cream, a mushroom,

663
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 6: and then your favorite vegetable, can of corn, can of

664
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 6: green beans, peas, whatever, and then some noodles on top

665
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 6: of that.

666
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: You can call it a goulash.

667
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 6: Turns out yep, one pot meal.

668
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 5: Depending on how runny it turns out, you can lunch correct.

669
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 4: You know. We do a lot of meatballs too, usually

670
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 4: Italian flavor profile. But we do the same thing that

671
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: Randall does, is and we make hundreds and then freeze

672
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: them and usually around twenty it's is what you can

673
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 4: get into a leader uh vacuum seal bag. But those

674
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: are great, and so do you put sauce in there? No? No, no,

675
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: no no.

676
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 5: Did did we cover meat loaf?

677
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 4: Yeah?

678
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean I assume part of this is part of this.

679
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 5: If I mean, if I just if it wasn't explicitly

680
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 5: mentioned in there, I think we should just point out

681
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 5: meat loaf should be celebrated.

682
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 4: Stuff to move and different styles of burger. You know,

683
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: oftentimes my kids like we don't like burgers anymore. I'll

684
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: be like, what about smash burgers? Oh yeah, you know,

685
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: so like okay, I'm gonna make them real thin.

686
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: On the topic of meat loaf, though, I think when

687
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: I think a meat loaf, there's like the meat loaf

688
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: my mom made, which I don't like, and then there's

689
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: like like an elevated version of meat loaf recipes you

690
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: can find online and.

691
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is just using more bacon.

692
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, you know, using some cheese and sauteed

693
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 2: spinach and just some other herbs and spices and and

694
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: that's like that's a unique weaknight meal.

695
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: Anybody could make it home great liftovers.

696
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's there's no end like pocket food, right, Like,

697
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: so like we're talking, so Wanton's pirogis, pasties empenadas.

698
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: I mean.

699
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, in the media dot com post new recipes

700
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: every week. I bet the most common protein in those

701
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: recipes is probably ground meat. So the mediator dot com

702
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 2: backslash recipes you'll get all kinds of good recommendations there.

703
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: Next question, this is from Coal. I was wondering what

704
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: you think the most doable DIY big game hunt would

705
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: be out west. Some considerations would be tag attainment and

706
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: public land access. I imagine you guys are gonna have

707
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: the same answer, but I would say an analttle punt.

708
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: It takes like the least amount of gear, least amount

709
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: of time, the least amount of physical fitness. If you're

710
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: coming from the Midwest or the east of the South

711
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: and this is your first Western hunt. The tags are

712
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: like the same price or cheaper than deer tags in

713
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 2: a lot of these states. Public land access like these days.

714
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 4: I mean it used to be a thing where you

715
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 4: could get a bunch of prong horned tags, and now

716
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: it's like there obtainable. I mean unless you have some

717
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 4: private access.

718
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: What I would say to Cole is this is a

719
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: hunt you could plan for twenty twenty seven or twenty

720
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: twenty eight, but you're probably not doing a good rifle

721
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 2: analope hunt this coming fall.

722
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with another big game option that

723
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 5: starts with the letter A, and that is antlerless.

724
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.

725
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 5: Find a cow tag, find a dough tag, often cheaper.

726
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 5: You're gonna have the same experience you're gonna take home there.

727
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna take home meat.

728
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 5: You're not going to feel like things are as competitive

729
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 5: as if you're gunning for a big Bucker Bowl. So yeah,

730
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 5: if you just want to go make some memories and

731
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 5: check out a new part of the country, I'd look

732
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 5: into those options. And oftentimes those tags are cheaper as well,

733
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 5: in addition to being more available.

734
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: And anelope and analysts have a lot higher success rate

735
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: for hunters out there. What do you guys have got

736
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 2: to add to.

737
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 4: This black bear?

738
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: Oh over the counter at a different time of year.

739
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: Yep, just made a face.

740
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 6: Yes, some of us don't know how to kill him,

741
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 6: or at least have a curse and are somehow allowed

742
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 6: to kill him.

743
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's more of a learning curve to it, though,

744
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: I would say coming out for the first time.

745
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 6: A lot of states have two seasons for him. Some

746
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 6: regions have overabundant numbers of black bears, So save a

747
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 6: couple deer, go.

748
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 4: Shoot a black bear. Be honest, Yeah, I was gonna

749
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 4: go on what Randall said. I was going to just say,

750
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 4: go get a dough tag. You know, very doable, very attainable.

751
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 4: You can just drive around looking for a dough but

752
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 4: you can.

753
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: You can hunt your butt off too if you want

754
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, so there's a bunch of ways

755
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: to go back country.

756
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: Call any other advice for Coal on how to plan

757
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: his first doable di y big game hunt out West.

758
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Boy, the biggest limitation people put on themselves is time.

759
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Give yourself time, and that's the hardest thing to acquire

760
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But boy, give yourself like a full

761
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: week no matter what you do. Or more like, if

762
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: you want to do your first big game hunt and

763
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm gonna take a long weekend, you're just

764
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for not having a great experience. You

765
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: you can have a surprisingly good experience, but it's just

766
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be you're gonna have that clock ticking in the

767
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: back of your brain the whole time.

768
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: It seems like when you're short on time, you end

769
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: up thinking about like work or family stuff that's going on.

770
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: If you've got a full week, you'll have some extra

771
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: time built in on the beginning and end of that yep.

772
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 5: And if the trip starts out poorly, you can just

773
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 5: totally reset and you still have another three day hunt

774
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 5: on the back half.

775
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: get hungry, I have one and it's perfectly satiating, and

828
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 5: I will I'll consume all the calories I need and

829
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 5: I won't have to think about what I'm picking out

830
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 5: of the bag and whether or not I'll want to

831
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 5: eat it, because I always want.

832
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 3: To eat peanut butter and jelly.

833
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: How about you, cal.

834
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: Obviously like it's it's all dependent on situation. But Randall

835
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: got to experienced a little bit of hunting camp with

836
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: some of the crew that I grew up horse packing

837
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: with this year, and no matter what's happening, there's at

838
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: some point the little smokies that we scaled in a

839
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: pan and eat little little smokey's out of a pan

840
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: and that was always like an awesome deal.

841
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: Is that just a miniature hot dog?

842
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know they're cocktail weenies.

843
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, like for making pigs in a blanket.

844
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then smoked oysters. He I mean, there were

845
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: just like a thing when I was grown up, and

846
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: I still love them and occasionally I'll just have that

847
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: for dinner by myself here and you know, in a home,

848
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: in an actual.

849
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 4: A smoked oyster. But man, in the woods, it's just

850
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 4: such a mess maker. And then you got that greasy

851
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 4: can left over. You almost need a vessel to get

852
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 4: the cant and you're backpacking out of the woods.

853
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: I don't do it backpacking anymore because of that. And

854
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, you end up like packing

855
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: dirt in there to try to like soak it up,

856
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: and then you're like, well then I dumped the dirt

857
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: out and it's all a mask. You're you're correct, But yeah,

858
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: so I do. Pro bars is like a staple and

859
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: it's not something that like I really enjoy at all.

860
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: And the refrigerator bars, the what are those ones? The

861
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be refrigerated, Yeah, there's a few of

862
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: them out there.

863
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 4: There's a Bozeman local company, is that the one you're

864
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 4: thinking of? They make that product. It's like called Jack

865
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: and Jane.

866
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 5: Or maybe I should know because I picked up those

867
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 5: packages from your front door and put them in your refrigerator.

868
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like almond butter or whatever, like in

869
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: a bar, peanut butter in a bar, and those are

870
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: a big deal. And then yeah, at this point, I

871
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: just don't even mess around with like trail mixes and

872
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

873
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 4: I'll actually gone back towards trail mix a little bit more,

874
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 4: but custom making it. Yeah, like going to Costco, I

875
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 4: get the big bag of cashew's, the big bag of cranberries,

876
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 4: some mango slices and that way. When I go in there,

877
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this is all stuff that I like

878
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 4: that I want to consume because there's nothing worse than

879
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 4: looking at that trail mixing like, yeah, you're like white chocolate. Yeah,

880
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: a few.

881
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: My favorite hunting fish and snack always has been, I

882
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: think always will be our apples because it's good at

883
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: any temperature, whether it's eighty degrees or twenty degrees, and

884
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: it also keeps me regular when you're like, you know,

885
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 2: on a five day hunt or something like that. That's

886
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: an awful feeling when you just can't go to the bathroom.

887
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: And if you're eating apples, that's never the case. It's

888
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: a natural diuretic at least for me, so apples or

889
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: go to And then also this year, this is the

890
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: first time I had honey stinger stuff and we had

891
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: to have a bad product from honey stick. Their waffles

892
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: they're they're like energy gels. Some of them have caffeine

893
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: in them. I'm a really big fan of those, so

894
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: apples honeystinger stuff.

895
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 4: I sing to add to some apples too, as you

896
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: can get those Justin's peanut butter packets or hazelnut butter

897
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 4: packets if you need just a little more protein or something.

898
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good like at five am, and it's good

899
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: at five pm in Apple and they keep that's right,

900
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: like I said, eighty degrees or twenty degrees.

901
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 5: All this stuff applies to peanut butter and jelly's too.

902
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, like the dark chocolate Justin's peanut butter cups. Oh yeah,

903
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, I'll like.

904
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 4: It's an expensive item, but they are good. It is.

905
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 4: But like when I'm.

906
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: At night, I'm heating up my meal or whatever. I

907
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: always boil enough water for my meal, and like a

908
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: cup of tea, which could just be you know, like

909
00:46:54,680 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: one of those salt packet meals or liquid iv or

910
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: something thrown in water, but it's you know, hot flavored drink.

911
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: And then we'll have my like dark chocolate peanut butter

912
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: cup and that's like my whole whole backpacking dinner right there.

913
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: Of course, is there a universal snack you could bring

914
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 2: guiding that anybody would eat and enjoy?

915
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 5: Jerky?

916
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

917
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 6: And it also every bite reminds you while you're out

918
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 6: there there's a home major and I don't know the

919
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 6: store bought stuff's okay, Man, it's expensive these days though,

920
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 6: so some homemade venison jerky.

921
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: It's all these damn diet trends getting into the jerky.

922
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: World, the whole carnivor. Yes, I've been souping up the

923
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: PBNJ a little bit the last few years. And uh,

924
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: Jess Johnson, you know, from Artemis down there in Wyom,

925
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 4: and she turned me onto it and just do it

926
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 4: on a tortilla instead. Yeah, maybe you need a little

927
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 4: less bread in your life. Maybe not. Maybe just a

928
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: different flavor. But then I also have been putting in

929
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 4: like a slice of two a bacon and then peanut

930
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 4: butter jelly bacon.

931
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 2: It's real canvas that'll set you free.

932
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 4: Brother.

933
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: I'll buy jack Links every now and then, just hoping

934
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be like a little note and sign

935
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: saying I can come hunt their property like I want

936
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: an award. They own like twenty thousand acres of badass

937
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 2: ground in western South Dakota where they raise the cattle

938
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 2: that turned into the beef that you eat. So someday,

939
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 2: some day I'm gonna open up that package and it's

940
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 2: gonna say, congratulations, you want a mule deer hunt.

941
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 4: I think you're very sneakily right now, just like throwing.

942
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: What I'm doing.

943
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's not.

944
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 5: Even sneaky's into the world.

945
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even sneaky. And their names are the Lynx.

946
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: Oh the way you're kidding, No, it's l I n K.

947
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 2: The Lynx make their own sausage too.

948
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 3: That's amazing, all right.

949
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 2: Their next question is from side. My family has always

950
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: owned dogs, but now we're ready to own the dog.

951
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: The was all capitalized a dog that hunts and is

952
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 2: a great with the family, the kind of dog you

953
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: remember long after they're gone. Does the crew have any

954
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 2: recommendations for how to pick the right breeder or pup

955
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: And to answer this question here is Tony Peterson.

956
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 12: We should always be looking for the dog that's like

957
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 12: the best dog ever I think anyway. But you know

958
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 12: a lot of people focus on the off switch, which

959
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 12: is sort of a minor thing, even though it doesn't

960
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 12: seem like it. You just train that in like any

961
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 12: you can train any dog to be a good dog

962
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 12: in your house. You can't train a dog to have

963
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 12: extra drive out in the field. So for me, that's

964
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 12: my focus when I'm picking a pup or I have

965
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 12: somebody looking for, you know, a litter for me, and

966
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 12: so I forget about the individual dog and look at

967
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 12: the blood like you want to check out the pedigrees.

968
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 12: And for me to get a lot of drive, I

969
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 12: like to have some hunt test and some field trial

970
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 12: you know, competitors, champions in the mix somewhere in there.

971
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 12: At the very least, you know you're going to get

972
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 12: a dog that really likes to work, is intelligent, it's

973
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 12: going to be an athlete, and there's gonna be a

974
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 12: lot of good health checks that come along with that,

975
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 12: and that's the way you're going to get the drive

976
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 12: that you're gonna have to work with. And then you're

977
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 12: gonna to take that pup home and just train that

978
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 12: off switch.

979
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: Cal how did you select Snort?

980
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 4: What the hell?

981
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 9: Well?

982
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 1: I liked a lot of what Tony just said, because yeah,

983
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: the drive is is what you need, and it's hard

984
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: to like encourage more drive if that's what you're looking for.

985
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: It's it's way better to try to train for the

986
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: off switch so folks can't see it.

987
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 4: But smart here here, come on.

988
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: Snort's been here the whole time, and this dog's got

989
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of drive and runs bad out of

990
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: hell and and has all the things, sometimes too much

991
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: of them in the field. But she's just been crashed

992
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: here on the floor for I mean hours, and she's four,

993
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: which you know is plenty old for some folks. But

994
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people listening probably have that dog.

995
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, that dog's eight and everybody still

996
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: thinks it's a puppy. And I think hunting is is

997
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: a great way to take dogs that have a ton

998
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: of drive. And these dogs understand they're like, Oh, here's

999
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: where all my energy and neuroticism go into this thing

1000
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: that like really clicks with with that little doggy soul.

1001
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of knucklehead Labrador retrievers

1002
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: out there.

1003
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 4: They are that way because they.

1004
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: Don't they don't get a hunt. I picked Snort exactly

1005
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: like Tony said, So I said, hey, I want a

1006
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: dog that is a little hard headed and has some independence.

1007
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: And when I went and picked her up, I still

1008
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 1: have a video of it. She had a pink collar.

1009
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: A lot of these breeders, they're like, yeah, they tie

1010
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 1: ribbons around them or color code them somehow, some way,

1011
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: And she was the only puppy that was not like

1012
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: up at the gate paying attention to what's going on.

1013
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: But when I walked in, all the puppies got up

1014
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: on the gate and they were like, oh, something interesting's happening.

1015
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: And then the pink collar girl turned around and all

1016
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: the puppies just spread out of the way, and Snort

1017
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: came up to the fence and was like hmm. And

1018
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: at that point I was like, oh, man, maybe I

1019
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done this.

1020
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: The spiritual at that point.

1021
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 4: Well, I was.

1022
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: I interpreted it more as like, oh, that's the alpha

1023
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: female in this thing, and she's like all the puppy

1024
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: litter was like, get out.

1025
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:05,959
Speaker 4: Of her way.

1026
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: She's picking you're picking her. I don't think she was

1027
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: picking me. I think she's just like sizing things up.

1028
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: So but the plane ride home and everything, she was like, oh,

1029
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: I am I need I need a friend here because

1030
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: this is scary scary stuff and uh and that's where

1031
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: the bond was was formed initially. So but yeah, I

1032
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: like I like that. I like higher drive, more competitiveness,

1033
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, you can train out some

1034
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: bad behaviors, it's just hard to build them in.

1035
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 4: I feel bad.

1036
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 2: You can hear Tony talk about more of those things

1037
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 2: on Foundations right now, on which.

1038
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: I think is a very unique dog podcast in the

1039
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: world of dog podcasts out there. I think this is

1040
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: a unique take. So Tony's doing an awesome job.

1041
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel bad for all of the dogs that

1042
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 4: this family has had prior to this moment because they're

1043
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 4: not remembered. They're just like cast off, forgotten, and you know,

1044
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they got a proper burial.

1045
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: But deep down, when those they said, time is quit

1046
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: messing around.

1047
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 5: When those dogs look in the mirror, they know what

1048
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 5: they're looking at. Do you think they're really a dog?

1049
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 2: Not the dog?

1050
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 4: Not the dog?

1051
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? How many trips did you make to the pound

1052
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: before you found mingus?

1053
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 4: I only made one.

1054
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 2: Could you have an inside source there?

1055
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 4: No? No, because at the time what had happened is

1056
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,959
Speaker 4: I had been researching dogs way too long, like over

1057
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 4: a year. Maybeing coming on too, and it got to

1058
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: the point where my family said, f this. We're just

1059
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 4: ready for anything with fur and at least a couple

1060
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 4: of legs and we'll be good, you know, we just

1061
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 4: need something to rub on. And so I just got

1062
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 4: a phone call that said, hey, we're heading down to

1063
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 4: the Stafford Shelter and Livingston. They've got a bunch of

1064
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 4: blue tick coon hounds. You know, if you want any

1065
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 4: input on this, you better come down too. So on

1066
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 4: the way there, I'm like, call my buddy Jake, who

1067
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 4: runs hounds. I'm like, hey, what do you know about

1068
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 4: blue tick coon hounds? You know, because looks like we

1069
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 4: got a chance. So the way we picked out a

1070
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 4: dog is that basically by the time I got there,

1071
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 4: I got there just in time to see the guy

1072
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 4: from the shelter, basically shoving my kids into the cage

1073
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 4: with the puppies and locking the lash behind him, and

1074
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: then they just had a ball in there. And yeah,

1075
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 4: they picked out the mild mannered one.

1076
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: Oh so there you had other options there besides Mingus.

1077
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were two others that were definitely at that

1078
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,720
Speaker 4: moment in time. It's hard to tell because Mingus looked

1079
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 4: emaciated and I think that he probably, if I had

1080
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 4: to guess, the other two males were just stronger, tougher

1081
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 4: and when there was any food around, Mingus was not

1082
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 4: getting a bite, right because the other two were pushing

1083
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 4: him out of the way. Maybe he was literally a

1084
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 4: bag of bones. And so yes, we could have picked

1085
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 4: what was seemed to be more you know, aggressive, more energetic,

1086
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 4: definitely healthier looking in the moment dogs, but we went

1087
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 4: with the mellow one. Mingus was.

1088
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 1: Mingus is huge, right, I mean he's not as he's

1089
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 1: probably not as big as.

1090
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: He let him.

1091
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 4: He will easily hit one hundred pounds, big boy.

1092
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: And I brought Snort home, you know, at like seven

1093
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and a half weeks, little tiny puppy, and Mingus is

1094
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: the first dog. Because we were watching Mingus at the time.

1095
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: So I got brought a snort home and put her

1096
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: down in her kennel and just opened the door and

1097
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: was like, don't drag her out of there, let her

1098
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: have her space. And then eventually she crept out and

1099
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: crawled into bed with Mingus. I mean he wanted to.

1100
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 4: I mean they're good to cute Randal.

1101
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: Mingus is giant dog, like real hunting dog, like gentle

1102
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: old soul man, good good dog.

1103
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 2: Randall. You think you own as many dogs as everyone

1104
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 2: else in here combined? Yes, how did you pick those?

1105
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 4: Well?

1106
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 5: Our most recent dog was a rescue from a breeding operation,

1107
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 5: so we got her when she was six and a

1108
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 5: half and just a delightful animal, terrified of everything, people mostly,

1109
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 5: But we didn't really have choices there. We saw this

1110
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 5: Facebook post that they were trying to find a new

1111
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 5: home for this dog, and so that's how we got

1112
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 5: Lil Dolly. We this was like the day or like

1113
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 5: the we're going to go to New Orleans for a wedding.

1114
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 5: The wedding got canceled because of COVID, so we're like, well,

1115
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 5: we're going to be home for a little while. It

1116
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 5: seems it seems like a good time to get a puppy,

1117
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 5: So we called around and tried to find a litter

1118
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 5: that was available within a five hour drive, and sure enough,

1119
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 5: we drove down to Saint Anthony, Idaho, and there were

1120
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 5: two puppies left in this litter and the one was

1121
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 5: like this, and then the other one was like this

1122
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 5: on top of it. And I can't remember if dollar. Yeah,

1123
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 5: I can't remember if Dolly was on the top or

1124
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 5: the bottom. But we were like, how bad. I mean,

1125
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 5: they're both doing cute things. Plus there aren't any other options,

1126
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 5: so we grabbed Dolly and drove home and then the

1127
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 5: lockdown order went into effect. Rosie. I don't know what

1128
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 5: we did to get so lucky to have Rosie, but yeah,

1129
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 5: none of our dog buying experiences. I probably if I

1130
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 5: just started from scratch and sketched out the playbook they

1131
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 5: it would in no way resemble how we got our dogs.

1132
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 5: But not applicable, Nope, nope. I mean asking how to

1133
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 5: buy a dog. Uh, that's a good hunting dog and

1134
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 5: that was going to make you proud in the field

1135
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 5: and it's going to be well behaved at home. Asking

1136
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 5: me that question is like, I don't know, asking someone

1137
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 5: who's never been in a serious relationship with their marriage

1138
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 5: advice is or something to that effect. I just I

1139
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 5: don't know. I have dogs, but they don't fit that profile,

1140
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 5: so it just exists. Yeah, yeah, like Dolly doesn't have

1141
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 5: an off switch. She just carries the tennis ball around

1142
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 5: and puts it in your lap.

1143
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 3: But we love her.

1144
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 6: Still, Corey, anything to add, Man, I don't really have

1145
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 6: a dog in this fight.

1146
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: Oh good one, All right, that's the next question is

1147
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: to our final question. This is from Nancy. What would

1148
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,959
Speaker 2: y'all be doing if you didn't work at meat Eater?

1149
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 2: What's your dream job? And to answer this here is

1150
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 2: Clay Newcombe.

1151
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm very interested to hear this, Spencer.

1152
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 13: You asked me what I would do if I didn't

1153
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 13: work for meat Eater and I was doing my dream job. Man,

1154
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 13: I'm really ambitious, and that would just shoot for the stars.

1155
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: I would like.

1156
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 13: To raise and train young mules and about every two

1157
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 13: years sell a crop of really high dollar finished mules.

1158
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 13: That would be part one of my entrepreneurial business because

1159
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 13: I've always valued independence over finances.

1160
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 5: So part one would be mules.

1161
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 13: Part two would be I would raise a few squirrel

1162
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 13: dogs every year. Now there's not a big there's not

1163
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 13: big money in squirrel dogs. Don't get the wrong idea,

1164
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 13: but you know, it'd be just enough to make it

1165
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 13: worth it. I'd probably have to supplement it with some

1166
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 13: manual labor. I've got a college degree. I mean, like,

1167
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 13: I could go work in the business sector or something

1168
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 13: maybe I don't know, and but that would just be ridiculous.

1169
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 13: I'm not gonna do that. So I would probably have

1170
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 13: to do stonework.

1171
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 5: That's kind of something that I do.

1172
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 13: I do masonry work. And lastly, I had commercial fish

1173
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 13: with Brent Reeds. Me and Brent Reeves would own the

1174
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 13: Southern fish market. That's my dream, dream entrepreneurial package right there.

1175
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: Be honest dream job raising mules and catching fish.

1176
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 10: Mmmmm.

1177
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 4: I think it'd be fun to learn how to how

1178
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 4: to train a mule, but not my dream job. You know.

1179
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 4: I have been thinking about that lately. I've been really

1180
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 4: getting into the habitat management thing over there in Wisconsin,

1181
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 4: and I could see it be.

1182
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 6: That.

1183
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 4: Sometimes I get jealous of those foresters and those people

1184
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 4: there doing that work, so I look at them and go, man,

1185
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 4: I think they might be spending more time outdoors than

1186
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 4: I am. You know, because even in the off season, right,

1187
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 4: they're just out in the woods working some way or another,

1188
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 4: you know. And uh, I don't know. I've been I've

1189
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 4: been digging, going into that rabbit hole and uh so

1190
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 4: I could see doing that.

1191
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: We had a trivia question before about the happiest profession

1192
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 2: in America. Uh, and it's forestry. People who work in

1193
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: forestry are the happiest, not just god like, not just

1194
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,959
Speaker 2: happiest of folks. And like the outdoor industry or people

1195
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 2: who work outside, just the happiest in the entire country. Corey,

1196
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 2: how about.

1197
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 5: You a surf instructor in Costa Rica?

1198
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 2: Do you know how to surf?

1199
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 5: I can stand up on a surfboard.

1200
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 6: You can, Oh, yeah, okay, but I don't know if

1201
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 6: I'm technically zero Wayta Rica behind a boat on Whitefish

1202
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 6: Lake growing up.

1203
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 4: Oh, that don't count.

1204
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 6: Oh no, but it does translate into the ocean. Have

1205
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 6: you Have you gone in the ocean in Hawaii?

1206
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 3: Wow?

1207
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 6: But if I could, if I could afford it, I'd

1208
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 6: drop everything and move my family to Costa Rica and

1209
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 6: just live in a banana house on the beach.

1210
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 5: Given your for your long term health, I think it's

1211
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 5: a good thing that.

1212
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, or a professional golfer golf courses aside.

1213
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Corey is a great golfer.

1214
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 5: Can I be a magician?

1215
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what are we doing.

1216
01:02:58,920 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 5: The golfer?

1217
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 2: He is genuinely meat Eater's best golfer and he does

1218
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: it like once a year, sometimes once every two years.

1219
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 4: And I went out one days prior.

1220
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: But it for most people, golf isn't like that. Were like,

1221
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: you just don't play for a decade and then you

1222
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 2: go play and you're still good. Corey it is like that.

1223
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Well, most people over think trip.

1224
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 2: Golfing is a lot. I could work the rest of

1225
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: my life to be as good as Corey and it

1226
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen. I don't think genuinely my dream job, I

1227
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 2: would want to be a fantasy football commissioner for high rollers.

1228
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: Imagine leagues that have like a million dollar perse where

1229
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm the commissioner for like Michael Jordan and Jerry Seinfeld

1230
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 2: and Snoop Dogg and every single week I'm like writing

1231
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: a newsletter for them. I'm hosting just an absolute banger

1232
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 2: draft party at the beginning of the year.

1233
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with your Spencer. I can't imagine.

1234
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,959
Speaker 2: It'd be great. I would design logos for each team.

1235
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 2: I'd have power rankings. I would be so good at

1236
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 2: that job, and I would just be like the fantasy

1237
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 2: football commissioner.

1238
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you that I want that for

1239
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: you because I have no idea what you're talking about.

1240
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's good. The other thing to be, you know,

1241
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 2: like a hunting consultant. Maybe if like Jack Links, you

1242
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: know they need hunt for property, tell me more. Yeah,

1243
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: and then I'd go out there and be like, well,

1244
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 2: here's how I'd do it, and then they would pay

1245
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 2: me and I'd also get to hunt there. So I

1246
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 2: think I think that's the other one.

1247
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 4: They'd probably pay it enough that you just be able

1248
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 4: to buy your own twenty thousand acres m.

1249
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 2: Randall dream job. Oh besides playing meat eat to trivia,

1250
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:37,560

Speaker 5: Gonna say, playing professional basketball. I can shoot a basketball.

Speaker 3: Oh no, Yeah.

1255
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 5: I thought if we were just doing our dream jobs,

1256
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 5: we could arbitrarily change everything about ourselves. So i'd be

1257
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 5: six or eight.

1258
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 4: I don't think we've quite done that. I mean, Spencer

1259
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 4: did just kind of.

1260
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: That job does exist, though, one your dream job I

1261
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,120

1263
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 2: I should have small forward.

1264
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have thought about this more.

1265
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Cal dream job. We'll come back to Randal while he

1266
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: thinks about it.
