Speaker 1: welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: by sit gear. I am. Today is going to be

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: a special episode because we don't have one single guest

13
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: and we're not talking about some kind of strategy or

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: tip or tactic. We're just telling stories today. And the

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: majority of this podcast was actually recorded a few days

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: ago in Iowa where I was on a shed hunting

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: trip with a bunch of my buddies and Saturday night,

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: we uh we piled into the camper, grabbed a bunch

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: of microphones and recorded a podcast talking about how and

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: what we had been up to the past few days

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: looking for sheds. But Dan Johnson couldn't stick around for that.

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: He actually did. Though you did get to come and

23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: shed hunt with us on one day before that, That's right,

24
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: and that was fun. It was I had a blast.

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you could get out of work and

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: come do that. Yep. Although I'm pretty sure Ross Hawsman

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: walked all the good spots. He did find a really

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: nice big shed the day after we left. Yeah, I know,

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: I saw the picture of it, but it a but yeah, man,

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: it was. It was fun, but it was tough, you know. Yeah, yeah,

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: but that's what shed hunting is, man. It's not even

32
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: like it's uh, there's really goals. It's just walking, especially

33
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: when I came up on Friday, just walking with buds basically. Yeah. Now,

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: you were only there for like six hours or something

35
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: that but even in that, even in that short period

36
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: of time, did we not just laugh in absolute Crapton?

37
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we laughed. I got a chiropractic adjustment. And

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: it's funny because I I left the shed hunt better

39
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: than what I arrived. So it's a pretty good deal

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: hanging out with a bunch of chiropractors, I know, right,

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Although I've got some pictures of you that looked like

42
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: you might have been taken advantage of a little bit.

43
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Well when when a guy says, all right, take your

44
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: boots off, lay on your belly, and uh, I'll I'm

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: up behind the eye, I was just like, where is

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: this going? Is this a trick? Oh? So funny? That

47
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: was awesome? Um, so I didn't even know how did

48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: how did Sunday or Saturday go for you guys? So

49
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: so Saturday was kind of more of the same as Friday.

50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Um we ended up finding a few sheds as a group,

51
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: but overall overall is really really tough. I tracked my

52
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: mileage and I walked let me double check this, Um,

53
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: I know of the course of three days, I'm just

54
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: gonna look and make sure here, give me two seconds,

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this number correct. Of course, the internet

56
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: goes slow. When I tried this, okay, thirty a little

57
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: over thirty seven miles. I walked thirty thirty seven miles

58
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: in three days, for four days, three days, and like

59
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: an hour on the last morning, gotch And so we

60
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: walked a lot as a group, found very few sheds,

61
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: and me personally found zero my very first time ever

62
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: coming home empty handed from Iowa. So that was a bummer.

63
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, you know there's more to it

64
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: in that, lots of lots of good stories. And uh,

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: did you find when while you were there with us?

66
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: I did not. I haven't found one this entire year.

67
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Yet you did go out. I did go out. I

68
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: went out with my wife and my son on Saturday,

69
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: and my wife found her very first shed ever. That's awesome. Yeah,

70
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: oh she was. I heard her. I heard her, Hey, hey, hey,

71
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: I got one. I got one. Hey hey, I got

72
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: a shed. And I'm just all right, like if I

73
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: acted like that would be a ninety injurre, right. But

74
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was just this little dank, this little

75
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: larry um larry shed, and uh, she was pumped and

76
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: she and now I haven't Actually I had to move

77
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: some stuff around and I put put that shed in

78
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: my office and it hangs in a very special spot.

79
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm thinking about getting a little plaque

80
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: that says, you know, Sarah's first shed or something like

81
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: that made because I was. I was just as jacked

82
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: as she was. I'm like, all right, now she's excited,

83
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: So she is she gonna be a more frequent shed

84
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: hunter now, I think so. I think Saturday, this coming Saturday,

85
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: we have a we have an entire day planned. That's sweet. Yeah,

86
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: that's what you need. You almost need to go on

87
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: plant one for these newbies, just so that they can

88
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: get that little excitement and then be into it. Right.

89
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: That's funny because it's it's kind of funny because first

90
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: two years my wife ever came shed hunting with me,

91
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: they're just very short walks, and other than getting caught

92
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: in multiflower rose or and not finding anything or like

93
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: sprinkling a bit, she's like, why do you do this?

94
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: And um, it took time, but I could see her excitement,

95
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: just kind of like turkey hunting. The first two years

96
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I took her turkey hunting, It downpoured and it was

97
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: cold and the turkeys weren't responding, and she's like, is

98
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: this how you know? That was her introduction ever, first

99
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: time ever into hunting. And then the third year, finally

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: every everything kind of worked out and now she understands

101
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: that that excitement. You know, sometimes there's ups and downs

102
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: and and the excitement, you know, the droughts make the

103
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: plentiful times much better. I guess, yeah, for sure, I

104
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: can definitely relate to that. I actually I actually had

105
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: my wife out helping me chef hunt today back here

106
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: in Michigan, and right unfortunately had a situation similar to

107
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: yours where she wasn't find anything and it was cold

108
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: and windy, and she's like, this is boring, I'm going on.

109
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: But I did have I do have some exciting news.

110
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I did find my first shed of the year today.

111
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Oh congratulations, Mark, thank you. It was a one. Uh No,

112
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: it's an old shed, um, which is, you know, kind

113
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of not as exciting as a new shed, but but

114
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: it is. This is really pretty crazy. And for those

115
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: long time followers of why You're to hunt, you'll you'll

116
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: understand why this is so cool. This shed is from

117
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve and it is the shed from the

118
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: buck I called Leaner, a buck that I was after

119
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: for two years and um in two thousand thirteen was

120
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: like the biggest buck on the farm and awesome, awesome deer.

121
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: But his two thousand twelve shed is the one I

122
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: found that it was like no doubt about it. I

123
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: looked at him like, there's are some way this could

124
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: possibly be his from way back then. And then I

125
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: went and looked at trailcare and pictures just now a

126
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: few minutes ago, and absolutely no doubt that's him, so

127
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: crazy crazy that she has been sitting there for four

128
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: years and I haven't found it, and uh, it's in.

129
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: It's not chewed up bad or anything. It's just it

130
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: was a little bit green, but otherwise it was great.

131
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: So that was kind of cool. Yeah. I talked with

132
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Lee Lakowski or via text message, uh yesterday and he

133
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: told me that of all his deer have dropped, the

134
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: only ones that are still holding our um like one

135
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: and two year olds. So for me that just is like,

136
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: oh man, because there was a huge gap between on

137
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: my farm from the time that I, uh that I

138
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: have shed hunted earlier this year in late February or

139
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: at mid February to now where hopefully they're not all

140
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: chewed up or someone else has scooped him, you know. Yeah,

141
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: that's the tough things getting that timing right. I've been

142
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: patiently waiting to walk the properties where I think holy

143
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: Field might be, and today was the first day I

144
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: really hit it hard because I had a good feeling

145
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: they were dropped, and um, I didn't find him, but

146
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot more area to walk. So this next

147
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: week or song to hit it hard because I do

148
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: think I do think that, um, they could be in there.

149
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: So now you can't use any type of you can't

150
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: drop any corn or put out any attractives or anything

151
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: like that. Right, No, I can't do that here. So

152
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: it's just been hoping he sticks around. And um, I

153
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: was worried that he might not because my food plots

154
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: have been flooded earlier in February. But um, but some

155
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: recent intel indicates that he's still in my neck of

156
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: the woods. So nice, well, good luck man. I hope

157
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: you find him and then you can celebrate. Oh my gosh,

158
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: if I find those antlers, I will scream like a

159
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: little girl. Earl. Are you like, how how many acres

160
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: are you do you have access to to hunt where

161
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: you think he is or do you feel that going

162
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: in there today, you know, you get you ran the

163
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: risk of maybe bumping him out and he's gonna go

164
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: shed somewhere else. So around this property hunt. I've got

165
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: access to several different adjacent properties, so I've got a

166
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: bunch of properties I can shed hunt around here. Um,

167
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: A good chunk of the area of this kind of

168
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: block of the roads, you know, the square mile block.

169
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Um I can shed hunt. I don't know sevent of

170
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: it maybe um, so I feel I feel pretty darn

171
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: good about that. Um it's just a matter of you know,

172
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: seeing them. But I think, um, I'm pretty sure I

173
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: saw him last night and he was he was shed

174
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: So that was why I went in there today. And UM,

175
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I can't say for sure,

176
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: but I was like, gosh, I really think that's him.

177
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: And I saw him relatively recently with antlers and then

178
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: again here in the same place and looked like it

179
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: was him again without so um because I decided to

180
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: take the plunge. And so today I walked what I

181
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: thought was probably the best area. And I walked, I mean,

182
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: my wife and I walked it like we we find

183
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: tooth comb combed it. I mean, we didn't miss a spot.

184
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: We checked every we just grid searched it. Um so

185
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: a grid stearch. I don't know what it would have been,

186
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe like a ten acre area today And um then

187
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: I just did kind of like a little perimeter, low

188
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: hanging fruit type walk on my way back out. And

189
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: now maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'm just gonna

190
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: keep on working chunks like that and just working really

191
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: really hard, um and hopefully hopefully come on them. So

192
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: that's the hope, right, that's the hope. You never how

193
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: it goes, but we're to get a shot, right right.

194
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Uh well, good luck Mark. I hope you uh, I

195
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: hope you find find him. Um, maybe bring your grunt

196
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: tube or something like that and you might be able

197
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: to you know, made while you're walk and you can

198
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: go on a little bit and they'll they won't run

199
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: off spooked. It's an interesting idea, something that won't do it.

200
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: But I know I'm spitballing here right. I like the

201
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: I like the willingness to try new ideas that Dan.

202
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. Um, the box outside the box.

203
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: So I gotta say real quick before we wrap this up,

204
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: I do wish that you had been able to stick

205
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: around for the podcast recording this past weekend. Um you know, man,

206
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: me too. But you know, you know how the free

207
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: time is and the Brownie point system works. Uh well

208
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: maybe you know how it works, um with you know,

209
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: two kids and a wife by herself, and my kids

210
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: are psychopaths, so they literally know how to push every

211
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: button that is on that an adult can have and

212
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: you know when that time is gone uh and and

213
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: used up and those buttons are pushed, it can get stressful.

214
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: I believe that. I believe that. Well, I understand why

215
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't make it. We could have used you though,

216
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: we could have used it because like, uh, I gotta

217
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: say right, it was it was myself and then five

218
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: of my buddies and these they're not podcasting pros like

219
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: you are, Dan your pro so it took it took

220
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: a little time to get them warmed up. It was.

221
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: It was a little bit slow and it was a

222
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: little bit rough at the beginning. I was like, I

223
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: could use some nine fingers. Here were you? Uh? Were you?

224
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: Were they giving you one word? Uh? Like answers like

225
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: oh hey guys, so, uh how did day go? Today

226
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: went good? Yeah, we're walking like it sounded like NPR

227
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: kind of like that. Yeah, there were some nerves, I think, um,

228
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: but what we got into it and you know what

229
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the key was the key to really getting things going.

230
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: But it was well, there was some of that, but

231
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: it was it was getting the man who took advantage

232
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: of you, Mr Chiropractor, Peter Lynch, getting him going that

233
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: I want to send a shout out real quick, and uh,

234
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: I wanna uh tell perimeter Peat thanks for the infield adjustment.

235
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: And uh do you know what the name of his

239
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: best chiropractor in the entire world. So you should go

240
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: if you're having any ailments, you should go visit him

241
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: because he does a great job. And that can you know,

242
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: we can hopefully sick it doesn't get mad that we've

243
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: had two commercials now, Yeah, I'm hoping I'll let that

244
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: one slide. He was wearing sitcup during the shed hunt,

245
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: so he it evens out. Yeah, I think so. All right, well,

246
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: let's uh let's wrap this up and hop over to

247
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: the camper um where we had our shed Camp podcast.

248
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: But first we will take a break for that aforementioned

249
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: sick of Gear segment. And I figured today we'd have

250
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: our sikest story simply be the stories you're about to hear,

251
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: because just about all of them took place while wearing

252
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: sick of gear. You know, almost Almost every single one

253
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: of my friends is wearing sick Of gear in their hunts,

254
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: and most of them wearing it on the shed hunting trip.

255
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: So we got to take advantage of their products to

256
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: keep us comfortable and out there hiking around for most

257
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: of last week. So that's what I thought I'd share

258
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: my ideal shed hunting sick system. You know, the actual

259
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: gear I was wearing during these hunts, so the shed hunts,

260
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: So on this trip, I was wearing the sick Of

261
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: gear Core Lightweight crew longsleeve shirt and the Core Lightweight bottoms,

262
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: and these are the basse layers I actually also wearing

263
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: my hunts, and they are a synthetic, lightweight based layer

264
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: that just do an incredible job of handling moisture, you know,

265
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: in this case, sweat from walking around all over the place.

266
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: And they also had this built in polygene technology which

267
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: he utilizes a silver salt to neutralize odor. So all

268
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the stink that probably would have accumulated after nearly forty

269
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: miles of walking, I didn't have to deal with that. Now,

270
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: on top of that layer on the bottom, I did

271
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: wear a non sick pair of canvas pants just to

272
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: deal with all the thorns, nasty brushy stuff. But on

273
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the top I was wearing a fanatic hoodie, which you know,

274
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: with that nice hood and the little built in hand

275
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: mits was really nice when it got cold and nasty

276
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: out there. And then also layer on top of that

277
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: was a Stratus vest. When it got really cold and windy,

278
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: I put on that Stratus vest which has a windstop remembering,

279
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: which just completely cuts that wind and chill. So early

280
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: in the morning when it was really winding cold, that

281
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: was really nice. So that right there is a system

282
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: that kept me out there comfortable, dry and walking for

283
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: miles and miles and miles. And if you would like

284

316
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: So do you know who we were talking to? I'm

317
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: doing well, Corey is doing good. Andy Bradley has never

318
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: been the podcast before, Andy podcast. I'm very excited. You

319
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: don't look like it. I'm not that excited, but but

320
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm here, so it's good. Josh is with us again.

321
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: He was on a podcast recently. You're an old prono. Yeah,

322
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: second time should be a piece of cake. Now and

323
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: Ross you're back, I'm back. Thank you for letting us

324
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: check hunt your properties. No problem. It was a good time.

325
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Which it was a little bit better, but it's been

326
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: tough here. It's been a little bit tough. So we

327
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: got here. You're me and Dustin. Dustin is not with

328
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: us now, he's he's with us, but he's not in

329
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: the camp and he had to go home. But me

330
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: and Dustin got here three days ago and we walked

331
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: the property. Mind and then what else? Ross got here

332
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: that night, Corey got here that night, and then Andy

333
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: and Josh showed up last night. How's the shed hunting

334
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: been tough? Yeah, I would say challenging. Explains the different feed.

335
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: It just sounds more professional challenge. Yeah, it's definitely been

336
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: hard because we've had a year with mild temperatures and

337
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: minimal snow. It doesn't allow the deer to kind of

338
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: yard up so that the antlers are spread out, and

339
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of walking. Andy wants to tell

340
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: us about that right now, based on look the face.

341
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: He wants to tell us it's still better than Michigan.

342
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna complain. But I think Corey did

343
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: just make that up on the fly, So do you

344
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: think so? No, it sounded good though, Yeah, it was good.

345
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: That's what I do. Tell us more about what I

346
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: do or now. That actually is probably why we've had

347
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: a tougher time that. Uh, the deer not concentrated very well.

348
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: And uh, I think overall deer numbers seem to be

349
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: down a little bit as far as overall signed, but

350
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: I mean they're still definitely still deer, but it's just

351
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: how many of the deer are still holding. That's true.

352
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: We've we've contemplated that all weekend. I honestly don't know.

353
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: There's there are some still holding them, so that's uh.

354
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: Some say some say fifty. Altho the deer we saw,

355
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: we're not holding. We're not holding right, we've seen a

356
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: single antler buck. Yeah, and we've seen we've we've seen

357
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: over a hundred deer and uh, we have not seen

358
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: one holding. So so who has found ailers? Say I?

359
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: I who hasn't found anilers? Say I? About half of

360
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: the group has. Yeah, let's uh okay. So no one

361
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: cares about day one because none of you were there.

362
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: It's just me and Dustin's gone. But Dustin found one

363
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: shed in the first day. We walked one of the

364
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: properties I have permission to hunt on and also shed

365
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: hunt and it's a great looking property, but just nothing going. Corey,

366
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: you found a bunch of their last year with me,

367
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: which was encouraging. Five that day. Um, I thought we

368
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: could pull that off again this year, but it didn't happen. Yeah,

369
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: and that was day one. Tell us about your your

370
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: thoughts on camping though that first night because me and Dustin,

371
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: me and Dustin went shed hunting and then we came

372
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: here to the campsite and you were driving, and we

373
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: hadn't figured out how to get the heat in the

374
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: camper yet. I mean and Dustin were sleeping in a

375
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: tent rot or. Corey was gonna sleep in Ross's camper,

376
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: but the heat has not been figured out yet. Tell

377
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: me about your thought process. As you were driving, we

378
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: called you to tell you that the heat may not

379
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: be working, and you were like, I don't know, we

380
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: might be going to the blank in hotel. Where was

381
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: your head? We have to we have to set the stage.

382
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: So I was making a seven hour drive and it's

383
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: now after nine o'clock at night, and the temperature outside

384
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: about twenty five degrees with a with a stiff breeze.

385
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it was, well, it was later, but at that

386
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: it was it was very cold, and um yeah, I

387
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: was let's just say, I if the heat was, you know,

388
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't sure that the heat was gonna

389
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: be on Russ that it was, and uh, with the

390
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: heat on, I was, I was all in. But as

391
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: soon as these guys informed me that there was no heat,

392
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: I decided that I might want to stay at the

393
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: local hotel. But I did decided to change my mind

394
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: and come here because eventually the here pressure. Yeah, it

395
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: was pressured, and uh, it worked out just fine because

396
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: the heat didn't come on and it was rather it

397
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: was big miracle. Yes, was the miracle that you had

398
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: to turn the propane on. Isn't that? No? That really

399
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: it really was a miracle. We had propane was on,

400
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: everything was on. It just took it took like twenty

401
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: minutes to a weird long time and go. But it

402
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: got real nice once it was. And then when you arrived,

403
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: we're grilling New York Strip steaks like ten thirty night,

404
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: dustin eight one with his hands and just piled right

405
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: into it. It's two pieces of bread. It was good.

406
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: The food was good. So what what do we do

407
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: the next day? That was? That was Thursday evening? Well

408
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: the next day Friday, you guys weren't here. Where did

409
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: we walk? Obviously we can't. What did we do? We

410
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: walked the cedars and then oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

411
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: the cedars. So the morning was good. Alright, Peter, you

412
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: found the first shed of the day. Yeah, I found

413
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: the first shed. Talked to us about that. You guys

414
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: really scarved up the good stuff right away. So I

415
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of stayed through the outskirts. I'm kind of a

416
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: veteran here, older pretty close to yeah, closer to fifty

417
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: than thirty. So we noted that you're almost at the

418
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: age you could have been my dad. Yeah, and I

419
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: used to live in your part of the world, so

420
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: we ruled that out. Yeah, yeah, somewhere near you guys

421
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: look a little bit late to come see you know,

422
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: it's close to somewhere out there. I'm not sure where,

423
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: but so I could have patted you on the head

424
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: as a youth. A youth, Yeah, it's a youth. So

425
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: now I uh, I doubled back because we kind of

426
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: went down the road and all came back and it

427
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: was getting pretty steep, right was. I walked back to

428
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: the perimeter and next to the gravel road and there

429
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: was a shed, what fifty yards from the automobile, just

430
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: at the perfect angle where you couldn't see it from

431
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: the road, but when you saw it from the perimeter,

432
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: it was like just stood right out about a two

433
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: and half year old shed. Nice shed. It's a good way,

434
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: a good way to start. Yeah. Five point told me,

435
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 1: how many of those has do you found this year? Uh?

436
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: Just one other? I get about thirtys in Okay, Okay

437
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: and then one shot I did find was last year's shed.

438
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: So we were walking what was that was the cedars there,

439
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: and the cedars are up on a hill and then

440
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: down the hill right ross, then you've got these corn

441
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: fields and everything. What was the scenario there that? I mean,

442
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good setup. Yeah, there's a lot

443
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: of a lot of really good cover and it's a

444
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: good wintering spot. And then a lot of the deer

445
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: from the area kind of head into that cedar thicket

446
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: and then they crossed the road and head out into

447
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: some corn fields across the way. So it's always good

448
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: every year, but it always depends on on how hard

449
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: the winter is, obviously, and this year it was really mild,

450
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: so so I think we did pretty good finding a

451
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: few in there. How does this compare to all your

452
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: past shed season as you've had her ross? This is

453
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: the worst ever? Yeah? Worst ever? For sure? Decided it

454
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: was Josh's fault, right, I think it's Mark's fault. Actually, Okay, Yeah,

455
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm finding that I've been here in past good years though, Josh.

456
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: But you brought Josh so well, that's true. What is true?

457
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: Brought you two? That's true. It definitely can be me

458
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: So last year this time, how many sheds have you found? Ross? Oh,

459
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't even know at this time, probably probably forty

460
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: or so forty some And how many of you found

461
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: so far this year? Half? Yikes. And that's not just

462
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: your personal that's you and your wife totally. Last year

463
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: we found sixty. This year we probably won't find I

464
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: don't think we'll find much more than thirty. So you're

465
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: down to your final ten sheds. Yeah, yep, yep. A

466
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: lot of factors and the play as you can walk,

467
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, it all depend on how the year plays out,

468
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: and this year's not playing out very good. So well,

469
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: all right, So what happened from there? Who else found?

470
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: Who found? The rest? On the next one? I found

471
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: a little four point side and then pretty boring. It

472
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: was boring, boring, and then un dust found and then

473
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: Dustin found that one one chewed up one that would

474
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: have been a really nice shed, Yeah, would have hadn't

475
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: been all chewed up, because that was pretty sweet. It

476
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: was good brow time and pretty heavy mass all the

477
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 1: way out. It was nice and nice handler. So we

478
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: walked the cedars and with a group of six of

479
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: us because it was us plus Dustin plus Dan Dan Johnson.

480
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: He was the entertainment Mr co host Dan Johnson was

481
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: there for a while and we were just kind of

482
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: scouring working lengthwise that whole seedar thicket which looked like

483
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: great betting. And we went went across the road there,

484
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: walk across the ground. Didn't find anything. Wow, we did

485
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: find that one walking out dust. He found like an

486
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: ancient Yeah, that one that was seven or eight years

487
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: old or however old it was. He's a much look

488
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: at it anymore. But it was almost like like as

489
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: big as a beer can, like bass. It was heavy,

490
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: always six seven inch bases, really heavy. Yeah, and he

491
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: found an old one today. I don't want to talk

492
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: about it. I'd rather not talk about it. Please. It's fine.

493
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: It was that that thing took the cake though, I

494
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: mean that's pushing it had to be. I mean, that

495
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: could be like ten years old. That thing has been

496
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: a special story to that ship. I can't believe nobody

497
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: else has found that shed before Andy get sloppy seconds

498
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: on that shed. Not everybody finds a shed that somebody

499
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: else already found in the woods. See, I've done that.

500
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of true to his nature. Though he likes

501
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: who found that last year I did did. Yeah, I

502
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: found it down there in the bottom. I saw it

503
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: from like sixty yards away, and no, it was it

504
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: was a ways. It was a ways. I mean, well, okay,

505
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: forty yards, but it was ways. And um I went

506
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: down there and got it, and of course looked it over,

507
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: and it was it was significantly cute, whether faded, it

508
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: was just not not quite up to par. So I

509
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: figured I'd leave it for the tree reds, finish it out,

510
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: or leave it for somebody like. I couldn't keep it,

511
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that I can cherish now

512
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: that I know you tossed it away like garbage. No,

513
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: it didn't notes. No, I'm gonna the better question is

514
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: had I not said a word and anyone say they

515
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: would you have kept it? Either way, hanging, I do

516
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: it right now, without a doubt. I'd sleep with it tonight.

517
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: The first time. I wish I turned around. They're all

518
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: laughing at me. That's true. You get ill. Probably I

519
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: do kind of feel bad about that. I didn't sure.

520
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get over. It's fine. I think can

521
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: go back. I think it was honestly just the shock

522
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: that I saw something that I had found last year

523
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: and left there that you had it. I was impressed.

524
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: So I guess when I fall shock, you wouldn't laugh

525
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: at me. That's no, that's not healthy. Let's just move on.

526
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: I really do a follow it that I did pretty much.

527
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: It didn't It didn't ruin it at all. Okay, But

528
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: and he wasn't. Corey was a little something. He was

529
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: a little He was like kind of suspect. We got

530
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: there today, kind of not really wanting to watch this place. Yeah.

531
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that. I was a little you were down. Yeah,

532
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: the first place we walked today, it was I was

533
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: an optimistic The confidence level was not there. I'll give

534
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: you that. No, we actually talked about we need to

535
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: bring a backpack follow sheds and like the place a

536
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: couple out for you. You bring my spirits up when

537
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: you get in the know in the depths of despair,

538
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: we can kind of bring you up a little bit

539
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: and keep the energy lettle high. I do that with

540
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: my dogs sometimes. That's good. Yeah. Well, after we found

541
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: all those in the cedars yesterday and Dustin found the

542
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: ancient one, we kept walking more places that afternoon and

543
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: found nothing, and then the whole morning this morning, same thing.

544
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: So we've gone almost twenty four hours without the shed.

545
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: So then but then you then I who found the

546
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: first one today? Well, I don't know, we don't know what.

547
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what time he found his, but yeah,

548
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: you must you probably found first. Yeah, what was the

549
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: situation there? That was just like a basically we were

550
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: walking this big point with a ridge top and um,

551
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: I took course, got the top top of the ridge.

552
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: And why did you get the tough of the ridge?

553
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: I got well, I got well, I got the top

554
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: of the ridge because a few people here said that

555
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: that I should have senior No, no, they didn't. It

556
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a seniority thing. It was just that I think

557
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: they realized that I was in the kind of depth

558
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: and sere they didn't. They didn't want it in the

559
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: day to be miserable, so they we were losing Corey. Yeah,

560
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: it's what friends do. So they sent me up top

561
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: and he was gonna go scouting his other honey prop

562
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: in like you're breaking the wolf pack. Yeah, the cardinal

563
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: rule of abandoning the group mid day and there was

564
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: a chance that you were going to head home early. Well,

565
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: he made the cop and he's like we don't find

566
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: more sheds, I'm going home tonight or he's going to

567
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: hit it. That's your right, but always going to go

568
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: to guardments that that's a whole other story. So anyways,

569
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: I got up top and there was about a that's

570
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: probably three or four acres of kind of I don't know,

571
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: I guess you know, a bunch of rose bushes and

572
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: grassy area and kind of open. A lot of sunlight

573
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: gets up there, and a lot of deer sign and

574
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: I did find a nice five point side off from

575
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: a three and a half year old, So that was

576
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: that was encouraging and help finish out. It brought me

577
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: back and help finish out the afternoon. It really got

578
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: everyone kind of amped up again too, because the square

579
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: altracking a little bit. Yeah, and then you found it

580
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: at the same time. What was that? Just small five

581
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: point side I probably wouldn't have seen it, so I'm

582
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: glad you found. I didn't real because it was like

583
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty yards ahead, but yeah, it was

584
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: in Peter's line, but that far out it was well,

585
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting older now, my eyesight isn't what it used

586
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: to be. That it helped him out, look like a

587
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: iceberg on the hill. It did pop out like that,

588
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: the white down It looked just like an ailery. It's

589
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: pretty awesome, amazing that. I love it when that happens.

590
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: And that was it, isn't it that? Those are all

591
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: the sheds we found? Oh, except we saw we got

592
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: a road shed. Yes, Peter, tell us that story your

593
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: road while the way were stacked like mule in this

594
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: uh process vehicle driving around looking for sheds and mostly

595
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: kind of scott property. That's always fun to do. And

596
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: UH drove by this place and there was a gentleman

597
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: and a tractor and the senior gentleman was driving the

598
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: it's like a club cadet cubodaboda, yeah, side by side,

599
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: and they had a big dead cow there, so it

600
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. But we kept on driving by

601
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: slow and there was a shed just in his ditch. So,

602
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: like good people we are, we stopped and talked him

603
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: before we grabbed the shed. And yeah, it kind of

604
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: told me that I could have it. So it's quite nice,

605
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: good experience. But we were not able to gain access

606
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: to the property to shed hunt because I tried best

607
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: I could. What's your what's your what's your angle? How

608
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: do you get shut hunting? You know, what's you know?

609
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: If I don't use Ross, I don't use Ross as

610
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: my angle. Um, I like to talk about the service

611
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: I can provide. You know, do you have tractors? Do

612
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: you have tractors with tires? Do you know how expensive

613
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: it is to replace a tire? After I say a

614
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: shed angler goes through it and we kind of go

615
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: on that little tingent. So how many times does that

616
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: work for me? Twice that I expected it. But yeah, no,

617
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: the guy and the other property have east to hear.

618
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: He he says, I want you out there because I've

619
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: lost two tires in the last three years, so so

620
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: it's it's a true story. But he marketed to me

621
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: basically instead of me marketing to him. So that work, Yeah,

622
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: it does. It's it's a good angle. I mean, I

623
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: encourage your listeners to to use it. Peter, you are

624
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: a listener. I listened every week. Unlike some of the

625
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: guys here. That was a blow. I mean, I've known

626
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: you the least, I guess, but many if anything, that

627
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,479
Speaker 1: should just make me feel bad. Yeah, it's good. Thank

628
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: you Peter for listening to me. I enjoy it. It's good.

629
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: It's good, Josh, Andy, you've never shed out of an

630
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Iowa before. You just got your first day in today, right,

631
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think about Iowa?

632
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: It's like much hillier than what you think, but at

633
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: the same time, because it's pretty flat actually where we're

634
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: at it at least Okay, the train is a little

635
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: different than you would imagine. You expect corn fields and

636
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: a little flat, you know, a little bit flatter. But

637
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: it was a good day other than when everybody laughed

638
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: at me. Why do we laugh at you because I

639
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: found it shed that already been founded. Well, he made

640
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: up for with dinner, so that was nice. Yeah, I

641
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: brought everybody. I brought food for everybody, so to be fair,

642
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: you can come back. Okay, Josh helped with the meal.

643
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: Those are some killer Elp burgers. It's very good. Oh yeah,

644
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: we packed that off the mountain. Packed it off a

645
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: mountain a year ago. That was fun. They were actually

646
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: just beef. But I told everybody there else. Now you

647
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: guys know the rest of the story. Josh, what do

648
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: you think. It was a good time. You know, we

649
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: had we had fun and laughed a lot and stayed

650
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: warm by the fire. Tonight was Chilian chili again tonight.

651
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: But even though we on, we found a couple today

652
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: and ah, it seemed a little slower than than maybe

653
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: what you think of when you think about Iowa and

654
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: you come out here and you you find a bunch of

655
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: sheds all that stuff. Um, it's still a lot of fun. Though,

656
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: I'd come back if I'm allowed back. Oh yeah, he

657
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: could be the issue though I know I could be

658
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: the issue. So this year we have five sheds, right,

659
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: five total sheds, six total sheds over the course of

660
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: three days. Is that right? I have to you have

661
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: to Ross has to korey as one Dustin has one

662
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: plus the old one. Really if you want to count

663
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: that one. So so we have a little more than

664
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing the math. What is that eight? Yeah?

665
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Seven or seven or eight? Let's see three four seven? Yeah,

666
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: that right, it's a couple of years ago. In two

667
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: days we put up like twenty six or twenty seven

668
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, this is it was a lot of fun.

669
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: It's definitely at least fifty down, I would say, if

670
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: not more, Yeah, I mean for total numbers. Yeah, but

671
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: it's it's about a good time, handout with friends, We're

672
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: sitting here eating milk Burger's cold beverages. Six dudes crammed

673
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: into a little camper, sir, cool, that's good, that's cool, right.

674
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: I can't get any bear in that, and he's got

675
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: his hand in my leg right now, Cora, what's your

676
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: best shot hunting advice? My best shot hunting advice? Uh,

677
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: just keep walking, honestly, I mean, don't don't get I

678
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: would say, honestly from from me, try not to get depressed,

679
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: because I'm one that just kind of gets down and

680
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: gives up a little bit too early. So try to

681
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: keep positive outlook and put the miles on the boots.

682
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: That's honestly the best thing you can do. Now you're

683
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: telling me today, that's a little bit depressing for you

684
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: because you used to live in Iowa for a while

685
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: and now you don't, and you don't quite get to

686
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: enjoy ship hunting the same way anymore. Yeah, it's nice

687
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: when you live here and you have you know, two

688
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: three hours in the evening after after school or after

689
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 1: work or something, you can just go out and walk

690
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: forty acres in an hour and maybe pick up one

691
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: or two antlers. And you do that twice a week

692
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: for eight weeks, you know, from February one till the

693
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: end of March, and you might pile up antlers in

694
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: a year. You know. That's that's a lot of fun.

695
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Whereas if you you know, like nowadays, we get to

696
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: come out for three or four days and you hope

697
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: you can find a few. It's it's definitely a different experience. Absolutely.

698
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: How did you guys get into shid hunting? I don't know.

699
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: We definitely did it before. It was cool, yeah, for

700
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon came along for me about it. Yeah. The

701
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: first shed andler I ever found was March of oh eight,

702
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: so it's been about nine years ago. I guess now.

703
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: I think I got into it maybe because it was fun,

704
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah I did get it, Yeah, yeah, because

705
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: I think I started going out with you, I think so. Yeah.

706
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: I found the first shed about forty yards from a

707
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: tree stand they had here in Iowa. That the first

708
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: year I hunted, I found a nice, big, like fifty

709
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: three in four points. I was real nice to real

710
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: nice andler, and um, so of course I got me excited,

711
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: and I kept walking and found two or three more,

712
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: and I just took off from there. I guess. So

713
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: you had a good little journaling system that you use.

714
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: That's that was a good idea. Yeah, for a while there,

715
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: I don't do much anymore. Every antler I would find,

716
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: I would write down the date, the um, the location,

717
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, the description of the antler, how it laid,

718
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: what type of rain I found it in, like if

719
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: it was in a fence row or a grassy strip

720
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: or you know, in the timber where it was. And

721
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: then that way I could always go back and look

722
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: at the dates that they were dropping and and kind

723
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: of and then the locations I was finding them to

724
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: have a kind of an idea of wind to gear

725
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: my time, you know in the woods, to know wind

726
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: to go. And also I can look back I would

727
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: say percentage wise and say I was se the antlers

728
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: I found in this type of train versus that type

729
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: of train. So it was pretty I thought it worked

730
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: out quite well for me. So if you could only

731
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: pick one day to go shed hunting a year, you

732
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: had to pick, like what you think is the appolute

733
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: best day to start and end your shed hunting for

734
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: the season. What would be the best day based date

735
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: date based on what you saw, Probably about March eight

736
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: tenth somewhere in their eighth I'll say, why is that

737
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: this week spot? Just because I mean, as we just

738
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: talked about this weekend, I still do think there's probably

739
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: a few bucks holding typically, and you might still see

740
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: one mid March, you might jump on with antlers on,

741
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: but by about the eighth or tenth of March most

742
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: I would say, you're probably in the eight or more

743
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 1: have already dropped, you know, by like the tenth of March,

744
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: eighth of March, somewhere in there. The trick is, though,

745
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: the trick is in some years, I mean mild winter,

746
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, low stress, they could carry on an extra

747
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: week or two longer than that. Even I mean, it's

748
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: really hard to tell, but my journaling, it seemed like

749
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: every time I would look back, when I look back

750
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: in my journal, like right about in February, it was

751
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: really when it picked up. And then I would say

752
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: it was the best obviously the first two weeks of March,

753
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: so that Russ you kept track. You guys do cute

754
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: trek with the dates of all your sheds, right at

755
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: least you used to. Yeah, just because we probably all

756
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: the pictures and stuff like that. Yeah, because Kendall at

757
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: one point, your wife had draft all the sheds you

758
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: had found in the dates, and she sent this to

759
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: me and it was really interesting to see the distribution.

760
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: It was inverse bell curve. Okay, so tell us about that.

761
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: Tell us what you guys have seen when you've had

762
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: the most success. I think that was probably because at

763
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: least in this area or this area a lot of

764
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: that there would be those early sheds that you'd pick up,

765
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: and then it would be slow. Um through February, there's

766
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: more snow, so we weren't picking up as many. A

767
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of the bucks held until like that mid February time,

768
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: then started shedding more frequent after that. Then we pick

769
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: them up more after towards you know, end of February again.

770
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: But I think it was kind of a combination of

771
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: like January, those early sheds then got slow because bucks

772
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: weren't shedding as much, holding on and more snow on

773
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: the ground. Then snow starts melting, more box are shedding

774
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, That's what I'm guessing was what

775
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: what would be your best day if you had to

776
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: pick a date, like I told Corey, probably yeah, probably

777
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: any time when, Yeah, just depending on that that snow melt.

778
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: Snow melts, you know in March. Typically it wasn't like that.

779
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: This year it's been no snow. The issue is if

780
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: you wait too late, though, then you get chew Top

781
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: Bantler's or you get other people that walk out right.

782
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: It's like we're constantly debating that an ideal year, you

783
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: want heavy snow from you know, early January all the

784
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: way till the last a couple of days of February

785
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: and then about a week to ten days for it

786
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: to melt and then you get out there. That's ideal,

787
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: but that doesn't always happen. Speaking of hunting, does does

788
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: anyone else think about shed hunting at different parts of

789
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: the Are you outside of shedding season and think about

790
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: how awesome it is? And then like eight hours and

791
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: to sheds? I hate this? Why are we doing this? Yeah?

792
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: Ross talks about hunting October one. I do. I do

793
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: start thinking about it usually, Adam start thinking about until

794
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: after the rut. I would say, for me, it's right

795
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: around Thanksgiving, Like once my excitement for the deer hunting

796
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: starts to fade just a little bit, that's when I

797
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: started thinking about sheds. So October two, no, I said,

798
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: like after Thanksgiving late late November, early December. I wouldn't

799
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: said think about sheds before that too awful much, but yeah, yeah,

800
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: I think about him a lot like early to you know,

801
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: you see what what the farmers are planting, what's where

802
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff? Start brainstorm and what's gonna be good

803
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: throughout the year. Peter, what kind of ships and advice

804
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: do you have? You're wise, you're the elder statesman of

805
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: the group. Have younger friends that knock on doors. It's

806
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: kind of the first advice. So Ross is really good

807
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: at that. Well, Sid he's been generous, so I appreciate that.

808
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: But lately I've kind of got my own my own

809
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: place is kind of eased to here, so it's been

810
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: been good. Um uh so, just like you said in

811
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: some of your other podcasts that the first few knocks

812
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: are difficult, but once you do it, and uh, because

813
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm a chiropractor, I do have a living living Ilana

814
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: have a patient base that is farmers, So just start

815
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: casual conversations with him and before you know what they

816
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: long you just walk in the property. So it works

817
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: out pretty great. Yeah, access is one of the very

818
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: most important things you can be great at. Spotting antlers,

819
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: and you can know all the right spots to go

820
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: on a property, but if you don't have a property

821
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: where there's deer quality food, you know you're not gonna

822
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: find any others and it out there. Just like deer running,

823
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty simple. Get a bunch of places and

824
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: then leads during the game. Ye, Peter, you've got an

825
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: interesting story. Um, we'd like to talk about your story

826
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: becoming a deer hunter. You grew up in the up Yeah,

827
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: shooting deer de Yeah, it's pretty typical. Probably a lot

828
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: of listeners before you learn about hunting. More. We had

829
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: a hunting camp by twenty with a fireplace in the

830
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: middles created by stone and we talked about the what's

831
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: the lights there? Kerosene lights? And I just remember those

832
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: days going out there when I have seven eight and

833
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: basically you would Uncle's but smoke. We'd ever close in

834
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: the same building, got to the stand weeks before, maybe

835
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: two weeks before. Just throw a corner and honey was

836
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: something different. Then it was more, but it's still about camaraderie.

837
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: But it was just about getting out there and seeing

838
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: what came in and and being from Upper Michigan, it

839
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: was generally a four corn or spike, occasionally a basket

840
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: rack six. But I'll never forget those memories, that's for sure. Yeah,

841
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: so russy, you you got to know Pete in school

842
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: and you invited go hunting with him. You invited him

843
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: to go hunting with you. You had like a tree

844
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: stand in your bow, and you're all ready to go

845
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: to hunt some public land. Tell us about those first

846
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: hunts of Peter. I'm not. I saw him in class

847
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: once and he just feel bad for him, you know,

848
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: old guy. Yeah, needs a younger mentor take him out

849
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: in the woods. And no, I don't. I don't remember.

850
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: I think I don't know a group which just got

851
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: a group of hunters. Yeah, he showed interest in hunting,

852
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: and the I'm like, you want to go? So we

853
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: just went off to some public land. I had an

854
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: area I was going to and Peter head. Do you

855
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: recall what I was wearing? Tree bark? I think what

856
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: two thousand six? Good old brown It was a browning

857
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: bow from like my brother had from seven or eight.

858
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: The whole setup, I like that, the old setup. What

859
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: what kind of arrows? Just lay it out for us.

860
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a techie, so it was there were bow

861
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: and arrows. I think I bought the cheapest broadhead score

862
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: in college from Thunderheads from Thunderheads Thad and probably a

863
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: twelve dollar trigger. And you're guaranteed that Peters were. He

864
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: never had their arrows cut down, so they were probably

865
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: about four and just too long. Yeah, right, And then

866
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: being from Upper Michigan. I'm not gonna blast Michigan, but

867
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: you guys do it enough. But from from the biggest

868
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: park I've probably seen was a hunter inter Yeah, Roscoe's

869
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: I saw one twenty. I was shaking like a leaf

870
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: up on my tree stand, right, and he's like, settle down,

871
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: that's nothing, Like, go, what do you mean that's nothing.

872
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: That's the biggest deer I've ever seen. So that was

873
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: that was the learning curve. And once I saw that

874
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: was hooked. I mean because at that point I had

875
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: bow hunted in since I was nineteen, and that time

876
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: I was thirty five, something relatively brand new to this again.

877
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: So is it true? Is it true, Peter that once

878
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: you were using a climbing tree stand and about up

879
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: into the tree you lost the bottom of the climber. Yeah,

880
00:49:54,600 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: you shouldn't use twine. So yeah, that was comical. How

881
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: did you get out of that pickle? Befortunately Ross and

882
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: I were we tag team a lot. Then he would

883
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: sit the tree next to me and you know, and

884
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: we would do that and he climbs down and he

885
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: was very cautious. Ross. He took him like twenty minutes

886
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: to climb down. And I'm hanging after dear life up top.

887
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Good thing. I've got strong triceps and big chest, handsome guy.

888
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: Is it true you're once a male model? Yea, this

889
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: is true. Yeah, tell us more about that, like a

890
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: serious model or like what kind of basically this podcast

891
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: the farm, Peter Fleet Farm, it's a fleet farm. And

892
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: did some bank commercials bank commercials. Yeah, I didn't know this.

893
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: This is a relation to me. It was tough stuff.

894
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: I said all day, all along with they want in

895
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: a pool with this lady. It was nicely At that time,

896
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: I was twenty four and my mom goes, my mom

897
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: wanted a wife and kids. I said, well, here's this

898
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: pictures prove as I got one. So yes, yeah, so

899
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: it was fun. Do you have a scrapbook of all?

900
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: I am sure somewhere, I mean, yeah, come on, I do, Yeah, okay,

901
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: thank you? Yea. Is it in your truck right now?

902
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: It's not in my truck right now. It's uh, it's gone.

903
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: It's gone. It's no longer with us. So, oh my gosh,

904
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: tell us some more funny Peter hunting stories, Ross or Corey?

905
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: What are the crazy joy you go together? I fall

906
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot. That's the funniest part. Remember in the up

907
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: and I was hunting. I was carrying the salt block

908
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: in my bow and something else probably hunter pouds of

909
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: corn on my other shoulder, and I frill down a ridge.

910
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: Just tell about it. Yeah, So I'm susceptible to falling.

911
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: Big tree fall hard. It's a big tree fall hard. Yeah,

912
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: so go. Speaking of twine, he had like, well, the

913
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: one time he lost the bottom of this, I probably

914
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: told him, hey, don't you think you should connect those

915
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: two together? It's fine? And he lost that bottom section,

916
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: and so he was up there dangling right. So I

917
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: climbed down and he's up there twenty feet he's just hanging.

918
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: He's thinking, oh, I think if I just hang here,

919
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: I can just drop down and land on the bottom solf.

920
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna grab the tree, drop to the tree

921
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: and hug it like ye. That thinks, only a good

922
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: idea side to move my climber over and to climb

923
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: up the tree, lift his section up, get him all. Well,

924
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: you took a picture as first though, every Yeah, I

925
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: did take pictures. And then there's another time the same spot.

926
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: It was a really good spot where you hunting public plant.

927
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of big bucks there, didn't I

928
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: use the same twine to pull my bowl up? Yeah,

929
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: he broke and uh he had this like twine I

930
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: don't know where he got it from. It's like three

931
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: ft long, tied his bow to it, and was climbing

932
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: up the bowls like swinging back the forth thing and

933
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: against the tree. And he gets up to the top

934
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: and of course the twine breaks or comes comes loose,

935
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: and the bowl falls right to the ground, browning. And

936
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: so Peter climbs down, grabs his bow, ties it back

937
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: onto his three ft twine, nds up the tree, bangs

938
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: the bow around to the top and it drops down

939
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 1: to the to the to the ground again. And uh

940
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: he did that like three times. And Ross never makes

941
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: a noise when he's like, this guy's making a lot

942
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: of noise. This guy is making a lot of noise. Yeah,

943
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: we still saw because I'm like a magnet. I think like,

944
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: just get a rope, Yeah, just get a rope. Yeah,

945
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: you stick around this guy. Oh yeah, it was fun.

946
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: That's good time. Remember the the time I went in

947
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: by myself and I said, what would Ross do? Oh? Yeah,

948
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: you go. So it was a Sunday and roscoes, are

949
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: you going out? Yeah? I'll go out there. We had

950
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: scouttered this place. We we gave it the name Lines

951
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: then because it was just massive rub on a tree

952
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: and looked like it had to walk up on this

953
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: pedalstal first and just rub. Like what's the movie? Help

954
00:53:54,239 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: me out? What's it? Yes, but list the name of it?

955
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 1: Goes up in the big rock and roars. So anyways,

956
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: back to the point, Uh, so I'm out there and

957
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: I go. I saw about go buying some of these spots.

958
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: We'd have to use calling tactics to get them in,

959
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: because you know, you're you're hunting forty yards from the

960
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: fans line and you're using you can see him, you

961
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: can call him in. That's we were really effective with

962
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: that earlier back then. And I saw like a small

963
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: buck go through and I could barely see the wrangs,

964
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: and god, I wonder what happened if a big one,

965
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: if I could really see it. Sure enough, ten minutes

966
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: later on que probably one forty class walks through, and uh,

967
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 1: at that time, I didn't know what I won forty

968
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: class meant. But I go home, Oh my god, that's huge.

969
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: I go, what would Ross do? At this point? So

970
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: I I realized I dropped my grunt to if I

971
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: snort or something like that, A lot of stuff falling

972
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: from I go. I just like, oh my god, and

973
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: I just did like a roar because I didn't want

974
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: to do a smart ways. Well, once you know that

975
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: damn thing stopped and turned around and came all the

976
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: way in. Really yeah, so it gets better. So the

977
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: buck has had about eighteen yards maybe, let's just say,

978
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: and he had to jump the fence. It took his time.

979
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm a shaken. I mean, I'm shaken bad, and I

980
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: have this browning with probably ten percent let off, and

981
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm just excuse me and pulling it here, DearS, not

982
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: in my spot. It's not it's for anybody else. They

983
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: would have shot it not for me. And uh, I'm

984
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: shaking so bad. My finger hit the trigger. Slap that

985
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: thing right, and it's right, and it's key star right

986
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: in the butt. Wasn't the fun your finest hour? The

987
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: hunter one? And I watched the run down the hill

988
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: and it basically it's like he reached back to and

989
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: grab it, pulled it out. It went in maybe an

990
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 1: inch right, and that we caught the true canter buck.

991
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was so. I went out there next day,

992
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 1: did my due diligence skip class, and I never saw

993
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: him again. But that was a good deer about what

994
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: great experience, A lot of fun. What about the other

995
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: story where he called you Ross and told you he

996
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: shot up buck and you asked him, what did it

997
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: sound like? Tell us, I think we've got enough stories

998
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: about I really want to hear that. That was another

999
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: public land spot, the same same public land, but a

1000
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: different tree. So yes, ioway, you can you can shoot

1001
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 1: some big deer on public land. Definitely in the west,

1002
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: that's for sure. We found a we found a buck

1003
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: bed kind of like on this point, and we were

1004
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: in there scouting and then we're both like, oh man,

1005
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: we gotta get in here. And I think Peter, you

1006
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: went in there really shortly after that next morning or whatever.

1007
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: Ross and I would trade again. We trade trade hunts.

1008
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: You want me to continue, Yeah, this is your story.

1009
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: You're pretty good at telling it. So I So I'm

1010
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: out there in this stand. We're one of our big

1011
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: things is go deeper, go home, and we're deep on

1012
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: this spot and kind of like my teenage years anyway.

1013
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: And so I'm back there and again we gotta use

1014
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: calling tactics. But I'm actually texting, texting Corey and remember that, Yeah,

1015
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: I go. I said, I gotta stop because I think

1016
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: I hear a dear rubbing a tree down. You couldn't

1017
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: see him down the ridge somewhere, and so I do

1018
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: a soft grunt. I actually had my grunt to at

1019
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: this time, and sure enough, all I see his times

1020
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: coming over the ridge on the other side of the fence,

1021
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: and he gets over and jumps and at this point

1022
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: this is a he's all one pointer. I mean, that

1023
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: was awesome, and comes over. He's staring right through me

1024
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: because I'm in a cedar tree, and he moves and

1025
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: turns and I draw back. Now I have a newer bow,

1026
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: and but I was seated in a ladder stand. I

1027
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: had to turn to the kind of cock eyed almost

1028
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: like gangster style, you know, imagine a guy who pistol

1029
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: a gangster style and I shot and uh, I thought

1030
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: I hit it. So I call Ross. I'm pretty proud.

1031
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: He goes, uh, and he knows Ross and knew I've

1032
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: not shut a buck with a bow yet. And still

1033
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: and he goes, what. It's all like Peter, because you

1034
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: know he's excited. He's getting a canoe already, and uh

1035
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: he went to ding ding ding ding ting. I go,

1036
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: must have went right through and just shale through the woods.

1037
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: He goes, no, No, I'll be there in a minute.

1038
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: So it was kind of one of those things where

1039
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect because I have not

1040
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: shot the deer. What's the noise I supposed to make? Ross,

1041
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: not that I had that canoe strapped down. It was

1042
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: all pumped. He's like, I shot a big a pointer

1043
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: and then that he told me that later on. So

1044
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: I just drove up there with the canoe anyways, and

1045
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: we looked around, but that are skipped for miles. So

1046
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: the next day you hunted there and as as a yeah,

1047
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: I saw him. I saw him. I don't know if

1048
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: that was the next year, a couple of flidays, Yeah,

1049
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: and he came out. He kind of did the same thing,

1050
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: and but he came out a little further out. He

1051
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: was suspect in the open. Yeah, yeah, but boy, that

1052
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: was a big buck. That was a dandy. Do you

1053
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: think it's big eight? Thing's gotten worse out here since

1054
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: those days. I feel like there's a lot of talk

1055
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: like that. You know, early two thousands, three four or

1056
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: five six was like the glory days in Iowa and Noledge.

1057
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: Things been going downhill for you guys who have been

1058
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: hunting here that whole time. Have you seen that? Yeah,

1059
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, especially because we're hunting. We're hunting ground that's

1060
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: not like tons of pressure. There's it's tons of pressure.

1061
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, a few hunt permission, there's lots of other guys.

1062
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: He used to be better hunting, but it just keeps

1063
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: getting little out there. The land has changed ownership, so

1064
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: now there's a guy with food plots out there on

1065
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: the other side, but they're disturbed it. I think way

1066
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: too much used to be all. Yeah, So it's some

1067
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: of that's changed the landscape. There's so many different factors,

1068
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: but there's definitely less dear, definitely less mature dear. It's

1069
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: just not quite the same. It seems like it's a

1070
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: little worse every year. Hopefully that rebounds or comes back.

1071
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: I agree, it's still better when than when I lived

1072
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: in Upper Michigan hunting though, so I'm not going to complain. True, true,

1073
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: And do you think you'll ever come out here in Odiowa?

1074
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: I may. I got a few spots that I've been

1075
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: trying to hunt in Kentucky and how yeah you wanted

1076
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: until that was your Is that your first, well one

1077
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: of your first hottest state white tailed trips? Right? Well,

1078
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: we have done Ohio a couple of times, I guess

1079
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: once down a little bit. Kentucky was awesome. It was

1080
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: just the way they didn't work because all it was

1081
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: it was like still two mild more on that weekend,

1082
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, it was like I think it was

1083
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the seventh of November or something. The first day that

1084
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I was down there, it was like I think it

1085
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: was like eighty degrees or something. Just it was like

1086
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: something it might have been seventy. It was just it

1087
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: was earlier than the month because they're like that first second.

1088
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: It might have been that first week because it was

1089
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: like literally I remember I had a T shirt on,

1090
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I had to I used my climate stand and I

1091
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: had to had a T shirt, camouflage T shirt. I'm like, oh,

1092
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna stink the place up. With a

1093
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: long sleeve shirt on, I'm gonna be a little bit

1094
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: more visible. But I saw a lot of deer down there,

1095
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: but it wasn't it just I have a lot of

1096
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: dose but in little bucks. But I can't wait to

1097
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: get down there and try it again, because you know,

1098
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: a weekend is not enough time, you know what I mean.

1099
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: I did. I had a long weekend basically, And when

1100
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: you get down there and try to scout something and

1101
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: set to stand, you know, how did you try to

1102
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: tackle it? I mean, giving you such a short amount

1103
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: of time, did you have a game plan going in

1104
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: or we're just gonna go walk it? Or I actually

1105
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: instead of walking it be And they only had a

1106
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: couple of days to do, I kind of thought it

1107
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: would be easier to two one of the first hunts

1108
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: to get somewhere where the wind. There was a cabin

1109
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: on the property that I hunted, so I set up

1110
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: to where my wind would be basically blowing towards that cabin.

1111
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of what I thought, And and as I

1112
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: got it, I saw some deer moving, and then adjusted

1113
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: from there and then I hunted those you know what

1114
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: I saw from from that one morning, basically used that

1115
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: for my gauge, you know, gauge and everything off of that,

1116
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: which you know, obviously could have been the absolute wrong

1117
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: thing to do. But I saw a lot of deer

1118
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: and it very easily could have come together because I'd

1119
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: see deer, I doze, and you know, bucks following him.

1120
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: But it's just I think that weather just turned him

1121
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: off a little bit. I would have been, you know,

1122
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty five degrees cooler, it might have been a different deal.

1123
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: There's a guy killed a hundred and fifty eight inch

1124
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: ten point from what I hear, three hundred yards from

1125
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: where I was setting up the last thing that I

1126
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: was there. I think I showed you the picture of it.

1127
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, I definitely want to

1128
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: get back down there and do that. And I've talked

1129
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: to the guy and he said the September it's it's

1130
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: a go. So when we tried it again, yeah, it's

1131
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna be here for I know it, I know what,

1132
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: seven months away. That's crazy. So you're hunting here again

1133
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: next year, Corey. Yeah, as long as I can draw

1134
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: a tag. You get a game plan. Oh, I don't know.

1135
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean I got a general idea of what I

1136
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: want to do. I mean I hunt the same general

1137
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: area each time, so I kind of have an idea

1138
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: of you know, how the deer used the farm. And

1139
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: there's two different trees I want to try this year, though.

1140
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: One I've I've sat in this within about forty yards

1141
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: of there, this one tree half a dozen different times,

1142
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: and every time it's just this is one of those

1143
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: trees where the trees I've been near in nearby I

1144
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: always get I can get a shot. But this particular

1145
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: tree just has been intriguing. It's an oak tree, as

1146
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: you guys know, that's my favorite. Um, but I'm gonna

1147
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: try to hang a stand on that tree and and

1148
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: then um, there's one other area of the farm that

1149
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I haven't really hunted much. I might try that, but

1150
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: the same general area, so I kind of know, hold on,

1151
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of putting the time in right, Yeah,

1152
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: just putting the time in exactly at the right time

1153
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: and putting the time exactly that's the trick. Yep, yep.

1154
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: So we got one more day of the shed hunt

1155
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: here what's the game? One walk properly yours corps in

1156
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 1: the morning. We're gonna go there and walk a couple

1157
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: hundred acres in the morning and hopefully find something, and

1158
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: if not, we're headed home. I guess not our best

1159
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: shot hunt. But we had a heck of a good time.

1160
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've been laughing a lot. Yeah, best shed

1161
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: hunting memories? Any good ones other than what we've been

1162
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: talking about here, Any crazy things that have happened in

1163
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: the past. Hm. I had to give my biggest Michigan

1164
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: shed that I ever found to Andy. It's pretty cool,

1165
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: isn't it. I'm proud of it. Yeah, I actually through

1166
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: the one way that I found hard to give me

1167
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,439
Speaker 1: because it was the match. I have it on my Yeah,

1168
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: it's on my counter right walk in the house right there.

1169
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I just about the dog have the other one. But

1170
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: that was nice you. I didn't know that was the

1171
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,479
Speaker 1: rule in Since then, we've gotten rid of the rule.

1172
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: Did you just thought we'd all call the Andy Bradley

1173
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: effect because it was so painful. I might I'll bring

1174
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it over like next time when I come over and

1175
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: look at this, check it out. Yeah, come from I

1176
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: don't know, No, I definitely did. That was honestly, I

1177
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: think when we were in school. I looked that up sometime,

1178
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: like when we were shed hunting. I don't know if

1179
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: I have somebody I think I was. I was on

1180
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: like a forum and I think I was reading about

1181
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: guys popular. I think I was reading about guys shed

1182
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: hunting and people posting pictures, and somebody in there posted

1183
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: a picture of a big antler that they had to

1184
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: give up or something. I've been like, why would you

1185
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: give it up? And then I started reading more and

1186
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: heard that that was an unsaid rule and just I

1187
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't like that rule. You know, I

1188
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: don't like it anymore either. Yeah, I love that rule,

1189
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm torn. Like I think, if a guy,

1190
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: if you're hunting, if you're with a guy on his

1191
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 1: farm and he's had pictures of the deer and he

1192
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: has history with the deer, and he finds a side

1193
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: and you find the other side ten minutes later. My

1194
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: thoughts are, the guy that's hunting the deer, that could

1195
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: kill the deer should keep the shed, or at least

1196
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: you keep it for the time being. And if he

1197
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: ever does kill the deer, obviously gotta give it up.

1198
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: But um, that's a tough rule. I mean it is.

1199
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think if you're hunting ground that like nobody

1200
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: in the group can ever hunt or kill a deer there,

1201
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: then it should just be you find it, you take it. Um.

1202
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's kind of tough. So there's a

1203
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: chance that you may get it back someday, but no,

1204
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: it's yours. No, no, I have to give it back now. Yeah,

1205
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's no guilt involved here. Right. He starts

1206
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: it off with the biggest shed he's ever found in Michigan.

1207
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't that big. It's pretty nice. It's

1208
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:48,959
Speaker 1: over fifty four point side. I mean it's pointer match

1209
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: that type. It was nice, it was sweet. That was like,

1210
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that was my best day of Michigan every four Yeah,

1211
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: which is for Michigan. The diaper party, paper party, course,

1212
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: diaper parties, right, big wild that day of it was

1213
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: a shed hunting and then the deer Turkey Turkey classic

1214
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo wildlings. Yeah. Sure, it was fun and we talked

1215
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: about it. We're gonna do it again, We're gonna go

1216
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: out sometimes we talk dear periodically. Yeah, what is it year?

1217
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Two years later, now knowing it once every two years.

1218
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, I was hoping we'd have like stories

1219
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: of twenty five sheds to talk about today, but really

1220
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: there wasn't a home once of a whole lot of that.

1221
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: But it was basically this. The last three days we've

1222
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: done this sit and talk about deer hunting stories and

1223
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: laughed a lot and had a cold a couple of

1224
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: cold beers, and a lot of good food. We had

1225
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: it all you can eat fish Friday last night. That

1226
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: was incredible. They have many of those all over the state.

1227
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Very good. Please edit comments Peter used to see. Peter

1228
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: used to film a bunch of weird hunt and he

1229
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 1: would have these really weird commentary and then he would

1230
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: they're sending to me, he's mounting that don't. What did

1231
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:15,439
Speaker 1: I say? There's two bucks fighting? Scratch that there's a

1232
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: buck mounting a don't, because that's what was happening pretty

1233
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: sexy up in that part of the woods. It must

1234
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: be at least said to me, just be like, please

1235
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: audit the comments, please addit comments. And with that, I

1236
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: think we're just digressing. So we're gonna shut this episode down.

1237
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: But it was a fun shot hunt. Any final thoughts, Josh,

1238
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: when your first eye was shot, it's fun. I'd like

1239
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: to come back. I'll make the drive again. Maybe maybe really,

1240
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: I know, get here a little earlier to do, like

1241
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: a long weekend or something and have a little bit

1242
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: more time. But uh, definitely, definitely a good time. Peter.

1243
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Final thoughts, I just enjoyed having you guys come up.

1244
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, years ago, I Ross moved away

1245
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and I had all this property to myself, and I

1246
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: went a hunting by myself on these properties. I didn't

1247
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: realize he would drive three hours to come hunt, so

1248
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: he got so mad at me. But just stay off

1249
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: the properties without your body. That's kind of my advice.

1250
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: A girl scared me. Uh, it's a great time, but

1251
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: everybody made it down. It's pretty awesome that we could

1252
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: get everybody together and do this because we haven't talking

1253
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: about it. That's pretty great. Yeah, so I'm disappointed that

1254
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: we didn't have a better shed hunt. But um, make

1255
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: sure you guys check your phones in the next couple

1256
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: of weeks. I'll be sure to send you some pictures. Yeah,

1257
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: we know you. Next weekend, to be exact, he'll have

1258
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: a couple of more defying I'm sure, you'll find a

1259
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: few more, Andy, what do you got? Not much? Man,

1260
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: it was a blast. I'd come back and do it again,

1261
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: for sure, a little more if it was a little

1262
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: bit warmer sleeping in that tent, you know, I was

1263
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: expecting to be a little bit more of a maybe

1264
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 1: not like a Colorado or an Idaho trip where you

1265
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: could just stay warm. But no, it was a blast.

1266
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: We had a ton of a ton of fun and laughed.

1267
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: And I never make, you know, gauge success on what

1268
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: we kill or catch or or fine or whatever, because

1269
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: just be bummed out too much. So that had a

1270
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: good time. I'll do it again, for sure, Corey. Yeah.

1271
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty much saying more and more of

1272
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the same. But it's nice hanging out with everybody. It's

1273
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: always fun to, you know, get out there and walk

1274
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: and had a good time. And well that we'll wrap

1275
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: it up tomorrow. We're to find a dozen sheds, yes,

1276
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: and we'll do another one. Yeah, And with that we
