1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Well to that point, I'd kind of like thought, oh,

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: I missed my broadside shot. So he was a little

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: bit quartered away and just a little bit farther back,

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: and I mean it was about as perfect as shot

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: as you could. Hit it right in the heart, hit

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: him in the heart, and then somehow his the arrow

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: angled off either a rib or the shoulder on the

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: other side. After the broadhead snapped off, the arrow just

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: poked through like the top of the neck and see

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: the kill shot. But it was pretty cool out here.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: The stakes are real. Effective preparation starts with fitness, but

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: it requires so much more. This show explores the tools, knowledge, resilience,

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: and skills needed to be ready when it matters the most.

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: Join me Rich Browning as we apply the decades of

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: wisdom I've gained through training and competition to hunting in

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the back country. This is In Pursuit, brought to you

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: by Mount Knocks in collaboration with Mayhem Hunt. Jonathan Michael

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Watkins not to be confused with Jonathan Jonathan Tyler Watkins right.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: Same middle name we have no, No, you guys, no.

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: We have the same middle name.

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Michael. The most Tennessee thing you've ever heard Watkins. We

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: just call him Watkins because him and his brother have

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: the same first name. Now it's Waddy. Thanks Tommy Scott.

24
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: You've been on here a lot and he's always behind

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: the camera too as well. But you actually got behind

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the bow this week.

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: I did.

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: I tried to get behind the camera and behind the

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: bow simultaneously.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's heartbreak. There was heartbreak at that too.

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of heartbreaks. Yeah. So we had

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: del Brisbee last week, well several weeks ago, but to

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: you guys is last week last week. Yeah, man, it

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: was it was fun, It was cool. You know. The

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: one question I had was like, did he take off

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: his sunglasses when he came in? He didn't have sunglasses on.

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying.

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: I didn't even pay attention.

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: It didn't really like throw me off or anything. I

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: didn't know that was his like his kick was sunglasses.

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, the people were that was the main question everybody.

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: The two things I was most fascinated with were how

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: is the place.

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: He that ridden with skunks?

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: How do they have such a big skunk problem? And how,

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: you know, how does that happen? And then also the

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: Maverick bulls. Oh yeah, it was very interesting. Like I

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: think that he said he had a video on it.

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: I think that'd be fun to follow. Yeah, well, no,

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: I'm saying to film something like.

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's a hunt. It's a

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: you're literally hunting, but instead of it's probably what the

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: peda people would like is that you don't kill them.

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: You just well eventually you probably know, I'm just kidding.

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So he basically they he goes on these trips

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: with these Maverick bulls, so basically think of wild pigs basically,

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: but with cows, and they get on you know, up

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: on a high spot wherever they're at Arizona was at

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: or Texas, I believe it was Arizona, Arizona, and so

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: they like spot these bulls and then they ride out

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: with them, ride out to find them, rope them time

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: to a tree, and then come back after them, right basically,

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and then haul them in and you know they've just

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: either gotten out or been bred out there and lived

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: out there for a long time. But they're feral cows,

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: which I think would be fun to hunt them.

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: That would be fun too if they escaped, much like

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: the two red stag on the property we're at.

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: Talking about, like the mo moocat rat.

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, muka, yeah, you get it gets confusing when you

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: start talking. That's what we always just said mookau instead

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: of beef cow. Beef cow sounds whatever, but move mook

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: cow sounds better.

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: When we used to hunt in Gunnison in Colorado, you

76
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: would get all hyped up and amped up his public land,

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: but ranchers somehow had a lease to it where they

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: could just let their cows go, and you'd be up

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: at nine thousand feet and you're thinking, oh, in this

80
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: we were early on at elk hunting, and we'd honestly,

81
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: first couple of years we didn't know what we were

82
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: listening for. But I think still it would throw me

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: off to hear like footsteps of a large animal and

84
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: then a mooke out comes walking out, or you you

85
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: like you're glassing and you catch brown and you're like,

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and it's a mookout.

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: So can you imagine like think drawing before the animal,

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: you know, comes out, so you're anticipating you're have full

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: draw and the cow walks out. The disappointment.

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: There were several times I considered shooting a mookeout and

91
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: just taking the meat home because it would be great, It.

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Would be it would be great.

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that was really cool. It seems like

94
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: a good guy. Uh, it was. You know, it was

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: interesting to hear the parallels between that Maverick hunt and

96
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the and hunting. Really you know, it's not really a hunt,

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I guess, but round up Maverick, round up.

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: We needed dale that weekend when we worked bison.

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we worked bison the weekend after Honestly, we

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: didn't really need it to like get them wound up.

101
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: It was the fact that we got them crawled pretty easily.

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: But then we had Custer got a little upset that

103
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: he was pinned up with some of the cows and

104
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: and end up goring one of one of the one

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: of the cows, and so we we had to do

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: a little We got them all worked and then had

107
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a little processing ourselves of one of the field dressing

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: field dressing got the kids got a little.

109
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: Down the driveway with a with a bison tractor.

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so one one soldier down, but hey should go

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: to good use, should be eaten.

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: So the free west.

113
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the freezers full after this last trip. After this,

114
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, luckily I guess we didn't kill multiple bulls

115
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: this fall because we got we got a bunch of

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: deer and we got a bison in the week up

117
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: an elk as well. But yeah, that was that was

118
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the kids were right there, and it was

119
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: not optimal by any means. You know, you don't you

120
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: hate to lose an animal like that. But she won't

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: go to waste for sure.

122
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: So Watkins was up close and personal when that cow

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 3: went down, right, Yeah, there's right by the gate.

124
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Or thee were working the alley.

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, the opening closing the door.

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: You were opening closing the alley.

127
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: I came to get photos and stuff, and then.

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: You got roped in. You didn't know.

129
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: Jason was on the far side and he was basically

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: he had to work the doors, the sweep tub.

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: And the doors.

132
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Jack was supposed to be working the sweep tub, but

133
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Jack couldn't push the sweep tub door enough, so Jason

134
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: had to get the other side.

135
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: So but I'm saying at this point he was doing

136
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: the sweep tub, the doors, the front door on the

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: squeeze shoote and he was doing the de warmer.

138
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: See that would be the worst one.

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: I think he was like, hey, I need help over here.

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: This is not a one man job, and so I

141
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: hopped over there. And so basically at that point, Jason

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: worked the sweep tub and I got the doors and

143
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: we had them queued up like one in each door,

144
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: and then I could just do the front and deworm. Well,

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: then when one of the it was Wilson I think,

146
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: got stuck the uh in Custer. No, Wilson got stuck right.

147
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: No, I don't know it. It was in one of

148
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: the one of the bison got stuck in between. So

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: what happened was where we have the alley, we have

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: these super heavy but movable gates or pens I guess,

151
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: or I don't even know what you would call them. Anyway,

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: we've created this alley Matt has or we sunk a

153
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: six by six metal post into the ground. But one

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: of the gates got somehow, the movable gates got moved

155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe three or four inches, and this thing saw daylight

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: and then got its head stuck in between the pole

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: and the movable fence. Pope. Yeah, and so that was

158
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: a whole or deeal well.

159
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: So whenever that happened, Jason went over to help. And

160
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: so going back to why I was over there. It

161
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: was because he was running the whole thing. Well, we

162
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: were about halfway done, so the second three quarters, well

163
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: whatever it was. The last ten or so bison I

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 3: had to do the sweep tub, the doors, and the squeeze,

165
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: shoot and de warmer.

166
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: It was stressful.

167
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: Well, the one thing I was worried about is like

168
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: when the cow and calf go through together, you need

169
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: to be really careful to separate them because she'll kill

170
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: the calf. And so I had to do that one

171
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: of them alone where I was pushing them through the tub,

172
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: but then I had to jump down really quick and

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: just freaking slam between the two to make sure she

174
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: didn't kill her calf.

175
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was hectic. One of the.

176
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: Basically we'd open once we had the head squeezed to

177
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: where you know, they couldn't get out, open up that

178
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: front gate to.

179
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: Do the de warmer.

180
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: Well, one of the bulls, like the smaller bulls, not

181
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Teddy or Custer, really pissed off as they are and

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: just smashes his head as far as he can as

183
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm opening the gate, and he's got like he just

184
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: blew all this like brown snot over my arm and

185
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, that was close to a horn.

186
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

187
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: And then of course Matt wanted me to the ones

188
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: that weren't tagged yet and he wanted me to dag them. No,

189
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: he wanted me to check them, oh, to see what

190
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: they were and they're not happy to be in there.

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: So that's a fun experience. It was.

192
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: It was good cowboy. Now, Yeah, you're always behind the

193
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: camera just kind of like observing. You actually had to get.

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, which luckily I've been there I think time, so

195
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: I knew what to do, like hopped in. It was fine,

196
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: but yeah, it was it was funny.

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: One.

198
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were probably one person too short. It's just

199
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: so hard because you know, like if you get them caught,

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: then you're good to go, but there's always that chance

201
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: that they're not going to go into the yeah, which

202
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: just happened. We've had that before him, and we've had

203
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: times where there's like thirteen people standing around doing nothing,

204
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: which actually makes it worse because the bison see people

205
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: and they do not want to go.

206
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 4: Oh.

207
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

208
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: When I showed up and it was a bit light

209
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 3: on help, that was abnormal because usually there's so many

210
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 3: people that want to come.

211
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, which we just didn't tell a ton of people.

212
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, and then we just got back

213
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: from Taos.

214
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was crazy.

215
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: That was awesome. Shout out to Stealth Rigg for having us,

216
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Stallings and Clayton Man that.

217
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: Was to set the scene too.

218
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: We had we didn't we got inlighted by Nate. We

219
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: didn't really know what We had no idea what we

220
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: were walking into.

221
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't know what we were walking into. And

222
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: we have I don't know how to put it better,

223
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: like we have very like low standards, very low standards.

224
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: In terms of Nate was like, bring extra arrows. I've

225
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: heard that before.

226
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: Well, so when he said that, that was at that

227
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: point I was coming just to film and we were

228
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: just gonna fly and fly out, and I guess shipped

229
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: the meatback or something. I don't know, but once he

230
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: said bring extra arrows, then I started to investigate the

231
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: possibility of having Watkins drive the sprinter van down and

232
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: he gets to hunt as like a reward for that,

233
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: and then maybe I get to fling an arrow or

234
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: two and they were cool with it, which was awesome.

235
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: Awesome, man, that was above and beyond. It was you know,

236
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: we were on twenty five thousand acres of free range property.

237
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean there's high fences on different you know borders

238
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: of the property, but they don't have any high fence,

239
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: right it's the other ranches. Yeah, other ranches that have

240
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: high fence free range. They call it low fence, I

241
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: guess technically, which just means cal fins. Essentially, it's a

242
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: cattle they have cattle on the on the ranch. But

243
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: also it's you know, it was it was awesome. Yeah,

244
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: that's the only way to put it, like and and

245
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna like pitch this as some difficult

246
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: hunt or you know something where you weren't. We were

247
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: seeing twenty to thirty deer each sit. Well, it's a

248
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: different kount of feeders.

249
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: It was different kind of hunting too, because we're using

250
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: management tags, and they're given management tags based on it's

251
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: just coming in.

252
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: It's fishing, right, Like it's fishing, which I don't understand,

253
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, I you know, I think it's

254
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: cool and you know, to each their own on whitetail hunting,

255
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: on how you go about it, and there's absolutely way

256
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: more reward for going out doing it the hard way,

257
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, setting up and you know, squeeze poort or

258
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, squeeze pinch points and uh, playing wind

259
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: and doing all that's one hundred percent and we do

260
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: that here at the house. There's also something to be

261
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: said for fishing for whitetail. You know, we were literally

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: fishing for white tail, which I don't understand people that

263
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: are so against it, Like I get if it's not

264
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: for you. I don't get that people are so against it.

265
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: If you're okay with fishing, why are you not. It's

266
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: the same thing but with a bow, and you get

267
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot more meat, right you know, So I man,

268
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: I would do that hunt again.

269
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: It was It's fun to to also have like different

270
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: types of hunts almost so like you come here and

271
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 3: basically you're looking for your rule out the house is

272
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: an a point that's all you're looking for.

273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: But there what we were.

274
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: Doing was trying to kill either does or could bucks yep.

275
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: And so there's a lot, like a lot more like

276
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 3: elements that go into that. And also for us being

277
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: not super super experience well or even experienced whitetail hunters

278
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: in terms of aging deer, it actually was super educational too,

279
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: because I'm getting content of all these deer, and we

280
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: didn't have service to basically, we had no service anywhere.

281
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: That was the hard part.

282
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: You ask if we could.

283
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: Shoot or not shoot, And so you get back, you know, like, hey,

284
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: what do you think about this deer? What do you

285
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: think about this deer? Because what they're trying to do

286
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: is increase the genetics of their property.

287
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want they want to get mature bucks. They

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: want to get you know, bigger bucks. Obviously they you know,

289
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: they're they're not selling by the inch. They're not doing

290
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: it like it's friends and family, you know, it wasn't.

291
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: Like that's the crazy part.

292
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And but they have to get some deer out

293
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: of there. You know, they have so many deer. They're

294
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, make sure that there's a healthy herd.

295
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, the state, I think it was a state

296
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: comes in and gives them like a number of deer

297
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: they need to be taken off there. They have like a.

298
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: Bole just come in in the state and they basically

299
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: decide based on all these photos and all this different stuff,

300
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: like different elements.

301
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: We have Clayton, Yeah, I would love Clayton Tyler.

302
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: They can explain it better, I'm sure, but they they

303
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: basically say hey, you get you know, five hundred tags.

304
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.

305
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: They try to keep the ratios. Is it three to one,

306
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: two to one?

307
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: One?

308
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I did my I did my part, which shows in

309
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: one buck, well.

310
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to get out of order.

311
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: But I only saw, like I only sat twice, but

312
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,359
Speaker 3: I only saw like two doughs.

313
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: That you could have shot. Yeah, we saw a couple.

314
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I yeah. I mean, and that's the hard part too,

315
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: is you're like, you don't want to you want to

316
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: get invited back, so you don't want to be shooting

317
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be shot, right, And

318
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean there were several bucks that we would pass

319
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: on and we'd get back in the truck and he'd

320
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, you could have shot that. You're

321
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: just the heartbreak of it, you know. And then but

322
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: then also there were some that you're like, could I

323
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: shot this one? They're like no, no, we would have

324
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: liked to let them. Thought maybe I could. So there

325
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: was a lot of like yeah, you know, it was

326
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: it's they're different deer than are here, I guess, you know,

327
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: they're a little bit smaller bodied, good antlers and good

328
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, man, it was it was just awesome. You're

329
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: seeing twenty and thirty. I would do that again. I

330
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: prefer that for white tail hunting.

331
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: Let's uh, let's start with the first night, because we

332
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: traveled in and you and Watkins both got to sit

333
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: the first night I was filming.

334
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: Yep.

335
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so me and you just sat in a little

336
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: tripod stand what I thought was completely out in the open,

337
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: but was not. They couldn't. They didn't really pick up

338
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: on us. We had probably one of the nicest deer,

339
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: younger nice nicest younger deer come through, perfectly symmetrical, ten

340
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: tall all the way through, but you could tell he

341
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: was young. He was young, muscular, slender type thing, and

342
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh man, and he was kind of

343
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: rolling the roost. We had a dough or two come

344
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: in maybe that night.

345
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: He had one dough he was with the whole time, and.

346
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: It was another one two and a half year old. Yeah,

347
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: ten point, young, ten point. And then we had a

348
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: probably management buck come in yep, but he got spooped off.

349
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: And then there was another one that would have came in,

350
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: but he got scooped up. That one he.

351
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Never got was like close. He didn't want to deal

352
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: with it. No, but yeah, that that younger ten what

353
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: do we think three and a half three and a half. Yeah,

354
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: he was. He was pissed that anyone would come in.

355
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: So they have these little basically like hog fences.

356
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: Hog fences in the middle of hog fences, you know,

357
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: like a two foot fence.

358
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's probably thirty yard what is that diameter radius? Yeah,

359
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: he did didn't want he didn't want any bucks inside

360
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: of that, so he would run them out immediately.

361
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean it was that was cool to

362
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: see you're just watching deer, you know, like yeah, versus

363
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: sitting around waiting, and he was in.

364
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: There for two hours. Yeah, two whole hours. We had

365
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: to watch.

366
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: Him, and that was good, like educational. You're like, throughout

367
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the whole two hours, you're like, maybe he is older.

368
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: But then you would like see him, you know, he

369
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: would be you know, super slick and shiny, and then

370
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you'd see him kind of like

371
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: like his hair would like almost like when you get

372
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: goosebumps your hair kind of like fans out. Yeah, that's

373
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: what he would start bristling and you're like, oh, here,

374
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: something's coming, and sure enough, another jear would walk out

375
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and he'd just bristle up and you're like, oh, maybe

376
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: he's like four and a half, you know. And so

377
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: we watched him for a couple a little while you saw,

378
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: and I shot a hog.

379
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, shot a hog, and shot buck that got away.

380
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: Buck that got away, which was a good hit. We

381
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: just just couldn't find him.

382
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Think a little bit back, you said, mane No, So.

383
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: Everybody kept talking about like that dead man' zone, So

384
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: I'm kind of thinking that's that's where it went. Yeah,

385
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: but what was cool about that one? No Man's land

386
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 4: or whatever, but what was cool about that one? As

387
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: Clayton was driving us, it was me and Nate and

388
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 4: Bo and they was like, man, it'd be so cool

389
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: to get like a hog. I was like, man, that'd

390
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: be awesome. Well I got a hog. So we were

391
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 4: sitting after I shot that buck that takes Clayton, and

392
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 4: I'm just like, hey, it's just like shot impact. Do

393
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 4: I just stay in here because I didn't know if

394
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 4: it like could be like the one in Spencer, like

395
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: hey just wait and come and get you. So I'm

396
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: sitting there and he's just like yeah, He's like give

397
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: it about ten minutes and then you can go out.

398
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: He's like, I'd be careful though, He's like, because there'll

399
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 4: be hogs out. So I was just like, I thought

400
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: he was joking about that. Sure enough, put everything back

401
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: in my hardness and I'm just sitting there and I

402
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: hear this ruffling and I looked over to my right

403
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: and there's a hog. I was like, oh snap. So

404
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 4: I didn't get that buck fever because that was my

405
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: first buck ever. I didn't get that like shaking or

406
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: anything like that. When that hog came out. That's when

407
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: that kicked it really, which is completely odd. And he

408
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: got in the same position of that as that buck,

409
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: and it went to the opposite side broadside and I

410
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: just popped it tickled plumb tickled, and then of course

411
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: then then not progressed it. And then Clayton came out

412
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 4: me and we want a goose chase for that uh

413
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 4: buck found some blood and it got real scarce and

414
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: then found some more. We just couldn't find it, so

415
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 4: we caught it and then go on to.

416
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Well what was cool was you know Watkins. They were like,

417
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: just go back out and hunt. We'll go find the

418
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: deer the next morning, and Clayton was gonna go look

419
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: for it, and Watkins was like, no, I'm gonna go

420
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: look for it. He's like, I just something doesn't feel

421
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: right about going to sit and not knowing whether or

422
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: not that buck. So you guys went and looked that

423
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: next morning for yeah, a couple of four and a

424
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: half hours. Yeah, we that next morning we had a

425
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: bunch of doze, a lot of doze. We had some

426
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: bucks kind of come around the back of us but

427
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: never really come in. And then right before Tyler came

428
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: and picked us up, we had a good buck which

429
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: we didn't get a look at it and get a

430
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: long look at He came in to kind of check

431
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: the feeder. I think he was checking for does didn't

432
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: like the situation and kind of backed out. So that

433
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: that sit was probably one of our worst sits. But

434
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: we still saw a bunch of deer. It was just

435
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: doze and young. They were like fawns. And so you're

436
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: at at one point you're playing this game of like,

437
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: all right, I know I'm supposed to take some doze,

438
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: but you don't want to spook too much out of there,

439
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: so you kind of wait to the last like what

440
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: you would say, ten to fifteen minutes and if there's

441
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: a dough in there, you'd take it. And I hadn't

442
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: had a buck at this point. I think I'm the

443
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: only person to this point. Everybody else, everybody in camp

444
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: had at least shot a buck, and.

445
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: Everyone but you and Watkins had killed a buck. Yeah, yeah, yep.

446
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: And so Tyler picked us up. That morning we went

447
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: and did some predator hunting.

448
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: Yea unsuccessfully.

449
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Unsuccessfully. He saw some gray foxes, but I couldn't get

450
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: couldn't go them put down. Next evening is when I

451
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: killed my buck. We still, you know, like we hemmed

452
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: and hot over him as he was circling the feeder

453
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: and couldn't really decide. And then we're in this redneck blind,

454
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: which shooting out of shooting a bow out of like

455
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: a out of a blind just not used to right,

456
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: So we you used to shooting out of a saddle

457
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: or shooting out of a tree stand. And I clipped

458
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 1: the edge of the window with my bow as I

459
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: was getting ready to shoot, let an arrow go and

460
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: smoked the feeder. But this deer jumped for a second

461
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: and then just went back to feeding, so I ended

462
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: up hitting him.

463
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: They're used to making noise yeah, I think they'll shoot

464
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: out the food and yeah, they'll scatter for a second

465
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: and then come right back in.

466
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

467
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: So he probably thought something inside of it was settling

468
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: or whatever.

469
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: And so you kind of play this, you know, they

470
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: were like, hey, make sure take really good shots. They're

471
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: completely broadside. You got plenty of time. Well, I do.

472
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: To that point, I'd kind of like thought, oh, I

473
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: missed my broadside shot. So he was a little bit

474
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: quartered away and just knew you aimed a little bit

475
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: farther back. And I mean it was about as perfect

476
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: as shot as you could. Hit it right in the heart,

477
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: hit him in the heart, and then somehow his the

478
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: arrow angled off either a rib or the shoulder on

479
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: the other side. After the broadhead snapped off, the arrow

480
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: just poked through like the top of his neck. You'll

481
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: see the kill shot. But it was, yeah, pretty cool.

482
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: And so when he ran away, we could see blood

483
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: pouring out of him. But then when we went down

484
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: to check to start bloodshots.

485
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: No blood.

486
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: There's hardly any blood.

487
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: So I'm starting to panic a little bit because that

488
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: I guess that dry Texas ground just soaks up all

489
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: the blood. I mean, you watch on the video and there,

490
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: and the thing is covered. The deer's covered in blood.

491
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: And so I'm tracking track and we get down probably

492
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty thirty minutes after start trying to pick up some blood. Yeah,

493
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: and I'm set my bow in every spot, but we

494
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: would go out and couldn't find anything. So I'm starting

495
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: to start freaking.

496
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: We thought that I thought there'd be a lot of blood.

497
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so Scott kind of just goes ahead on

498
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: the path. We think he's taken, and you know, I'm

499
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: like panicking looking at blood, and Scott goes, hey, you

500
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: want to come see your deer.

501
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: I was like, thank god, he didn't make it far

502
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: at all. But we were just really slow playing it,

503
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: trying to play the blood. But in my head, I

504
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: was like, well, I'll let you do it the right way.

505
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna walk off. I basically went ten yards

506
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: to the left of where I thought his trail was. Ye,

507
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: just looking into the sides of the brush, and he just.

508
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Went and tucked up underneath some of the scroll bro well.

509
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: Because I knew I didn't know, but I was very

510
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: confident he wasn't like a wounded deer. I was gonna bump. Yeah,

511
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: So I'm like, he's dead, we just need to find him.

512
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: And then I saw him tucked up in there. It

513
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: was what I was hoping I was going to do

514
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: with your utah ol last year, find him before you did.

515
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: But it worked out.

516
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Who was it kill first? Yeah?

517
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: I think so.

518
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we get back to the truck walkings as

519
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: first buck in there, nice little eight. He was broke

520
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: off in a couple of different spots, so he was

521
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: a two.

522
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: Row times.

523
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: He was missing a brown top a brow time, and

524
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: then it would have been his G three I think

525
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: it was.

526
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 4: I think it was just broke off.

527
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: No G four, Sorry, no G three. I'm still still.

528
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 4: But I had like of course, while we was tracking

529
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: the buck that was shot Monday, Clayton was just like hey,

530
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: He's like, do you want me to sit with you?

531
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: I was just like it would help, could help a lot,

532
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 4: because it's like I don't know nothing about nothing right,

533
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'll go with you. So I was

534
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 4: like super pumped about that, but also like super nervous

535
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: because Clayton's like the man of the So it's just

536
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: like I want to shoot something and miss it again

537
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: or like hit it and then just kind of wounded,

538
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: so like, my nerves are just like.

539
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: So when I met it was nice.

540
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: It was being able to be like the green lights

541
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: are right there, you're good because.

542
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: That was the hardest part.

543
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: Well, the best part about it was I got to

544
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: see from a fawn all the way up to my

545
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: buck was the last one that came in. So he's

546
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 4: just like this one Wan had come out. He goes,

547
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: what do you think about that one? And I'd be like, uh,

548
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: probably about like a year old. He goes, good, nice,

549
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 4: what about this one like two and a half. He

550
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 4: goes very good. It's like he's so he's like teaching

551

559
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: He goes, uh, is this because it's missing some antlers?

560
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 4: And I go no. I was just like I don't

561
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: care about that, and he goes, what's wrong? I go

562
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: I just don't want to miss. He goes, you won't miss.

563
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 4: That's just like cleans, like the perfect hop malad. It

564
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: comes to stuff like I was like, all right, so

565
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: I was full, I'm just ready. And of course the

00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: smack smack, and just Clayton just like smoked him.

573
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, cool, you got to walk

00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah he mono went thirty yards, didn't go twenty No, yeah,

576
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: he might have went like thirty eight yards and he

577
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: just laid like perfectly.

578
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

579
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: It was posed for a photo like where he laid. Yeah,

580
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: it was pretty crazy.

581
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 4: And then I moved him from that so I could

582
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: take a different photo, which I wish it didn't.

583
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: It is what it is. It is awesome. And then

584
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: next morning we split off. Yeah, me and Watkins went, you.

585
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: Had your buck.

586
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, I'm good, I've got

587
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: you know, at least the bare minimum of what I

588
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 3: need for content for the trip, and I'd buy a

589
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: license and they said I could shoot, So I was like,

590
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: all right, hopefully one or two sits I can make

591
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: it happen, and then you would.

592
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: Watkins went and sat together.

593
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: We went and sat and we both.

594
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Had the exact basically, we had the exact same morning.

595
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: We saw a bunch of deer, saw a really good

596
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: older deer, but he looked too nice and we got back.

597
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, you could shut that buck. He

598
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: still haunts my dreams.

599
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 4: That was the worst part about it.

600
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not knowing.

601
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not knowing.

602
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't want to be greedy either, like

603
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: you're in somebody else's place. But I'm like two bucks,

604
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I feel like now, I'm like all right, I feel good.

605
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 4: Like they almost they wanted you to get to clear

606
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 4: out the bucks, yeah, but they also wanted you to

607
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: be like respectful.

608
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: And like yeah, which one hundred percent gets. So you

609
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: just didn't know. We ended up shooting a dough that morning,

610
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: which those things are so small. Thee Yeah, it was

611
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: like ten minutes left with I knew we were gonna

612
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: be done around ten, I think, And so it was

613
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: like nine to fifty and there were still some young

614
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: bucks that bigger buck had left, and that dough was

615
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: still there. So there were two does there and so

616
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: I thought, well, we'll take one of them and they drop.

617
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: I aimed at her. We were on in a ground blind.

618
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: She was nineteen yards twenty yards I think. I aimed

619
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: at her arm pit and like underneath her armpit and

620
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: hit her double lung. She dropped probably three or four

621
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: inches just in that little bit of time. Granted my

622
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: top pen is at twenty five yards.

623
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 3: So yeah, and then I was where I was sitting.

624
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: I was in a ground blind, had no.

625
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: Service, no service to speak of, and so I was

626
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 3: I was basically on my own in terms of because

627
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't even text and try to describe the deer,

628
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: let alone send a photo. And the rules we had

629
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: were basically looking for a four.

630
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: And a half or older a point pretty much. Yeah,

631
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: if I had to make then there were some like

632
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: but there, well they could be a ten, but it

633
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: needs to be past his prime, right and like.

634
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: And then if it had no brow times, I've broken off.

635
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: But no brow times, that was a green light or

636
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: uneven which I'll get into that later because that came

637
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: into play for me. But the so, okay, I'm looking

638
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: for mature eight point, Well, a mature eight point comes

639
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: in before the feeders were going off at seven and

640
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: seven thirty, and he came in at like, I don't know,

641
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: six fifty five maybe, so it was legal light.

642
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: I could have shot him.

643
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: Problem was he was about the nicest mature eight point

644
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: you could possibly imagine, like really, other than the ten

645
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: point we had seen. He was the best dear that

646
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: I we had seen or anyone had seen. And so

647
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: in my head, I cannot shoot this deer. There's no

648
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: way I can shoot this deer. He leaves and I'm like,

649
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: oh good, I don't have to choose. Feeder goes off,

650
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: all the little fawns come in, that comes this giant

651
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: eight point, and then I have another like twenty year,

652
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: thirty minute battle with myself of whether or not I

653
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: can shoot this deer, and I decided not to just

654
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: because he was so nice that it was better for

655
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: me to not make a mistake on that deer than to,

656
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: I guess, be in the position I'm in and regret it.

657
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: And a couple other like younger eight points came in,

658
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 3: but he was really the one that I was interested in,

659
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: even to the point where, towards the end of my sit,

660
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: like three turkeys came in and I didn't even like

661
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: feel like shooting them because I was so torn up

662
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: about not shooting that.

663
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Fuck. Well, you guys came and picked me up. I was.

664
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: That was the last one that got picked up of

665
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: our truck. And first thing I did I went up

666
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: to Tyler and and he's your property owner and her

667
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: family owns a property, and I'm like, hey, what do

668
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: you think about this deer. He's like, oh, yeah, Like

669
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: I see, he is kind of like borderline. But I

670
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: would have been fine with you shooting him.

671
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: The worst that's the worst phrase to hear that whole trip. Yeah,

672
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: I'd have been fine with you shooting him. Gosh dang it.

673
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: And I talked to Clayton about it and he agreed, like, yeah,

674
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: he's like a borderline deer, he said. I just asked

675
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: Tyler him, like well, he said it was fine, he said,

676
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: well yeah. So that morning I was like, you gotta

677
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: be kidding me. I could have shot that deer.

678
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: It's bad here.

679
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: But then in the afternoon we went the same thing spots.

680
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: We were in the same spots hoping that big boy

681
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: would come out.

682
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: And I went to a different Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

683
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: went to a different spot, and I had bad service,

684
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: but good enough service to send texts, and Clayton was

685
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: about three minutes away from me, and he told me

686
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: that there was a few young ten points in this spot,

687
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: which obviously I wouldn't shoot well. Up until maybe sunset

688
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: was like five forty or something.

689
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: M hm.

690
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: So up until maybe like five o'clock, all I'd seen

691
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: were the were three three really nice young ten points

692
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: and so and so I was like, man, you gotta

693
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: be kidding me. I'm just gonna see deer. I can't

694
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: shoot again. But this time I knew I couldn't shoot him.

695
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Well.

696
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: The fourth buck that came in was gosh, I'm choking.

697
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: The fourth buck that came in was so so much

698
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: a cold buck I didn't even text Clayton. He was

699
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: a big bodied at least four and a half. He

700
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: had broken off brow times but he would have been

701
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 3: an eight point, but he was a six point. Just

702
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: looked like as cold buck as it comes. I thought, well,

703
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: they were definitely broken, but I don't think there was

704
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: much to them to begin with. They made Yeah, they

705
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: were definitely broken. I'd have to look at it again.

706
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: But he came in and I knew immediately that's a

707
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: cold buck. So he gives me an opportunity. I shoot

708
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 3: and where I mean, if you shoot enough a in

709
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: practice and b like I I had just gotten back

710
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: from Georgia too, So I just shot a bunch of deer,

711
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: like you know, if you don't make a perfect shot, yep.

712
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: And I thought he was perfectly broadside, and I thought

713
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 3: I hit about six inches behind where I wanted to.

714
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: And so I texted Clayton. I'm like, hey, Kolbluk came in.

715
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 3: I shot him. I think it was a little bit back.

716
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait here. I'm gonna shoot some does if

717
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: they come in. And for context, I'm sitting in a

718
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: tripod stand that has barely enough room from my feet.

719
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: So I'm holding my bow because I didn't bring a

720
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: we didn't know what we're getting into. I didn't bring

721
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: a bow, hang or anything, because I thought it was

722
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: mostly blinds anyway, so I've I got my bow in

723
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: one hand and I'm trying to text him in the

724
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 3: other hand. Well, then like bucks all of a sudden

725
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: start coming in. First one comes in, no brow, time's

726
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: eight point looked mature. So I'm trying to like hold

727
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: my bow, hold my binos, and make sure to verify

728
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: on the rack, Texting Clayton, putting my phone in my mouth,

729
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: crack the screen with my teeth. He says, hey, don't

730
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: shoot that one. I'm like all right, So I'm like,

731
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: all right, hopefully a dough comes in. Next thing comes

732
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: in nine point. It's five and four, so it's you know, uneven.

733
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: So again texting Clayton, I'm verifying with the baiinos, biting

734
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: down on my phone, trying to because I'm trying not

735
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: to move too much either because there are our deer

736
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: like right in front of me. And he said, don't

737
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: shoot that one. So anyway, fast forward. I wanted to

738
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 3: give that buck enough time. I was actually pretty sure

739
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: he went down, like right in the woods, but I

740
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: still want to give enough time. And I was getting

741
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 3: worried because every buck that came and left went out

742
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 3: the same path as him, so I was worried they

743
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: were gonna bump him. Will I get down And he's

744
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: just parked his truck and maybe like thirty seconds before,

745
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: I'm standing inside this thirty yard radius pen and we're

746
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: talking like full blown conversation, and then like a pretty

747
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: mature eight point walks up and he's just staring at us.

748
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is going on? And he's like, we'll

749
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 3: just let him, We'll let him go, and so we're

750
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: just standing there and he finally walks off, and so

751
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: we go to check for my buck and there's all

752
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: kinds of blood. And the other thing too, is I

753
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: checked my arrow, but it had the blood had dried

754
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: on the arrow, so I wasn't in and that arrow,

755
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: it was the fifth That arrow in Broadhead was the

756
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: fifth deer that Combo had killed, so there's like five

757
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: deer worth of.

758
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: He was gonna die from infection.

759
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So there's all kinds of like that arrow

760
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: just has all kinds of stuff on it, and then

761
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: that blood had dried. So I was like, maybe I

762
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: hit him back, maybe I didn't. Well I knew I

763
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: hit him back, but I just couldn't tell how far

764
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 3: based on the blood. And so we get like just

765
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 3: outside of the little feeder ring and unlike your deer,

766
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 3: which you're you hit him in the heart, and we

767
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: saw him gushing blood. We couldn't find blood this dear,

768
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: I didn't see him gushing blood. Well we get and

769
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: there's just blood everywhere, and I'm like, that's crazy. So

770
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: we would go about fifteen yards into the woods and

771
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: it turns right, and where it turns right, I see

772
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: the deer and I'm like, wow, that was not what

773
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 3: I expected. It was one of those things where normally

774
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: what happens is you think you hit a deer great

775
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: and then and you.

776
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: Can't find it. Well, this was the opposite.

777
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: And he had to have been quartering away a little

778
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: bit because I e clipped his lungs somehow, because it

779
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: was a little bit back. But yeah, it was. It

780
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 3: was a stressful night because I passed on like six

781
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: bucks and shot the one and then I didn't think

782
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: I made a Like I thought I was gonna have

783
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 3: to look up for a while for that buck.

784
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, me and Watkins are back in that first

785
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: spot watching deer young eight or he was broke off

786
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: eight but young, hoping that big one would come back in.

787
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: Never did a couple of small young eights come through

788
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: a ton of forkys. We're sitting there and we gotta

789
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: teach watkins like deer hunting etiquette. We're sitting there and

790
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: he there he is, so I grab my bow. I'm

791
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: like where he goes a little spike that keeps pushing

792
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: everybody out of the corn. I'm like, dude, you can't

793
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: say there he is. He hated this little spike. It

794
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: was a little forky forky spike, but he was like

795
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: the dominant one. So then what song were you singing?

796
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 4: Here she comes? I don't know the song.

797
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but instead of saying here she comes, he would

798
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: sing here he comes. But I'm like where and he's like,

799
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: oh no, man, I'm just singing a song. And he

800
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: goes and just replacing she with he, and.

801
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: Dude, it was so why would you do that?

802
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: He was just I wanted to punch him every time

803
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: you do that. So then we're sitting there as raccoon

804
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: walks out. He's like, hey, you think they'd let me

805
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: shoot that raccoon? I said, I guarantee they don't care

806
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: if you shoot the raccoon. You know, it's a nuisance.

807
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: You were trying to three two one on them.

808
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I was just like, what's the odd It's

809
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 4: just like you shoot a dough and then I smoke

810
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: this raccoon and I'm.

811
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we probably can, I said, He goes, we're

812
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: about on three two one. I was like, not very

813
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: good odds, I said, maybe with a gun. It's really

814
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: hard even with a gun, but with a bow is near.

815
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: And the dough was here and the raccoon was here.

816
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: And I'm left handed, so I'm on this side. He's

817
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: right handed, so we would have had to anyway. So

818
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Wawkin's supposed to be working the long lens. We practiced

819
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: a couple of time, like filming some stuff, and so

820
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you know, it's ten minutes left

821
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: to the last light till last light, and I'm like,

822
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this dough. She's at like sixteen yards.

823
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: He's like all right. So we get the camera set up.

824
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: Doe's on the camera. I see it on the thing.

825
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, you ready. He's like yep,

826
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: and so I shoot smoker. Look down. The camera's on

827
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: stand by. You can see in the corner where it

828
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: says recorder stand by and it says stand by. So

829
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: this dough runs off and we're sitting there and I'm like,

830
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: you idiot, and he's like, all, I'm gonna shoot this raccoon. Well,

831
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: in the meantime, we hear like a death cough, like

832
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: a bloody cough, and Walkins goes, oh that. I'm like

833
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: that dough literally just ran behind that tree twenty yards off,

834
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: laid down and died. But anyway, he smokes this raccoon

835
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: and it's like limping off, blood porn out everywhere, and

836
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, you got him. He's like all right, he's like,

837
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: let's go find deer in the raccoon. I'm like, all right, swee,

838
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: zip everything up, and it's still a little bit of

839
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: light left and we start looking. And Watkins looked for

840
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: like an hour to find that raccoon because you guys

841
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: were still trying to find your buck. So we were

842
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: just sitting out there in the in the moonlight.

843
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, because we didn't even start looking for mine

844
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: until it was after legal light, because I was like,

845
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: this might take a while, and I thought if I

846
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 3: hit him back, he's gonna I need him to not bump, right,

847
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: which turns out I didn't really need him to not bump,

848
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 3: I guess.

849
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: But so last morning, man, we went back to that

850
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: same spot just because we knew that buck had been

851
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: there and we were okay to shoot that buck. You know,

852
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: part of me was like I didn't want to sit

853
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: the same spot three times.

854
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: We probably shouldn't.

855
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: I shouldn't know because we didn't see anything walking saw

856
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: every deer on the property. Granted, we couldn't have both

857
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: sat in there unless you went up to one of

858
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: the shooting blinds. But yeah, man, the last morning was

859
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of as similar to the night before, where we

860
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't see anything, but sure didn't see anything dough wise

861
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: to even shoot. We didn't. We see one dough maybe,

862
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: but she didn't hang around long, which was that was you.

863
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't we that was with you?

864
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Oh you were with me. And then and then we

865
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: had that buck, that mystery buck. I just happened to

866
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: like it's cold and rainy and kind of windy, and

867
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: I just happened to like stick my We didn't have

868
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: the up far side on zipped and I just turned

869
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: my head and like, look out, and there's a buck

870
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: walking a good he was a ten. He probably too

871
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: big for us to shoot, but he came to like

872
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: just check the fear and go on. Never really got

873
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: another glimpse of him.

874
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 4: That was the cold, rainy morning, wasn't. Yeah, that's when

875
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: I had that because you went back to the spot,

876
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: to your spot for a little bit perfect cold buck

877
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 4: like the one that Clayton was like, that's what we

878
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 4: want everybody to get.

879
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: They come here.

880
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: And I was freezing because it like we woke up

881
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 4: and this was it was cold, but it was kind

882
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 4: of missed it and I was just like, I don't

883
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 4: really need a jacket, and I'm getting there. It was

884
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 4: like freezing to death because I'm just getting soaked in

885
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 4: that little spot.

886
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: It was one of those weather days where it'd be like,

887
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 3: if you've experienced it, you know what I'm talking about.

888
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: It'd be better to be like twenty eight degrees and

889
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: snowing than thirty degrees and thirty.

890
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: Six degrees raining and windy.

891
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: Better to be colder and snow.

892
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 4: And that eight point came out and I was just like, man,

893
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 4: it's just too pretty to shoot. And then there was

894
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: this another eight point that came out, which I was

895
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 4: just like, well this I probably should shoot this one.

896
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 4: Turns out I shouldn't have shot that one, should have

897
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: shot the one that I was supposed to got. I

898
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 4: mean I'm sitting there just like, you know what, I

899
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: just I got another day. I'll just let it go,

900
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 4: get in the truck. Clton goes, how to go. It's like,

901
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: I'll show you these photos. He goes, oh, you should

902
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 4: you should have shot that one. And I was tore

903
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 4: up about that one. And that's when you went back

904
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 4: to that spot.

905
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: Right like an hour.

906
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

907
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: Then I saw that old bino deer that I just

908
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 4: thought it was this normal Texas thing and I didn't

909
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 4: know anything about it. So I was telling Clayton was like, hey,

910
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 4: you're just like seen this white deer and they're like

911
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 4: He's like what. I was like, yeah, it's a white deer.

912
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: He goes, how what I go, it's pretty wide and

913
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: he goes, did you take a picture of it? I

914
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 4: go no, He goes, why would you not take a

915
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 4: picture of that? I was just like, dude, is Texas.

916
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: There's all kind of weird stuff stuff running around here.

917
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 4: He goes, oh, yeah, true, it's true.

918
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: It is true piebald. I think because only I shot

919
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: a piebald deer.

920
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 4: Because that's yeah, that's what he said that he thought

921
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 4: it was. And then I found another one that was

922
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: kind of similar to it, but it was just a

923
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 4: regular white tail. I was like, hey, it was a

924
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 4: lot water in this one. But he goes, yeah, he goes,

925
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 4: that was an ibano, but he didn't take a photo

926
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 4: of it.

927
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: But I didn't.

928
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 4: Hey, I got my first buck though.

929
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: Happy. Yeah, it was a good trip, man, It was

930
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot of regret, shame and regret. You know, it

931
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: was one of the hardest. That's probably the hardest trip

932
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: to like leave ever, because we were seeing so many deer.

933
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: There were opportunities every hunt and knowing that, hey, we

934
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: could probably could have showed another one or two, you know,

935
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: like going home and everybody's staying too didn't help. Like

936
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: walking out. We dropping us off at the airport and.

937
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: I had to kick out a little early for an.

938
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: Event freaking our flight got delayed, so we we wouldn't

939
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: have been in the prime time, but I could have been,

940
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: and you know, we could have went and pushed the

941
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: magic button, the test button. So man, yeah, I you know,

942
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: one hundred percent get guys that wouldn't want to do

943
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: that style of hunt. But I don't understand people that

944
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: are like completely against that style of hunt. They weren't

945
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: like they're not high fence deer they're not, which that's

946
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: a whole nother argument. I've never done it, so I

947
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: and I, you know, I don't know, you know, the

948
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I would want to

949
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: do that. But I didn't think i'd want to just

950
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: sit over a feeter ever either until this last trip.

951
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 4: So I don't see anybody turning an opportunity like that down.

952
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: I just don't meat we got, we brought we got

953
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: twenty or we got ten deer. We brought home meat

954
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: from ten deer. And you know, I I'm completely okay

955
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: with it. You know, I got to I got to

956
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: practice some situations on my bow, make some shots on

957
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: live targets that will be you used, you know, correctly,

958
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: and we'll eat them. And made good shots, you know,

959
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: had that one that I screwed up but didn't no harm,

960
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: no foul, then destroyed my arrow, but I made three

961
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: really good shots on bow, built some confidence and had

962
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: a ton of front You got to sit with somebody

963
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: and kind of talk and bs and then also like

964
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a it was a great

965
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: trip and I had a ton of fun. I'd love

966
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: to have Clayton on here and kind of just talk

967
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: about and Tyler and and talk about the management style

968
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: of you know, why they do it and how they

969
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: do it, and like.

970
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: Their whole like regimen they have for in terms of

971
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 3: like feeding and cameras because I think they have certain

972
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 3: cameras and locations to like show traffic of deer for

973
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 3: the biology stuff.

974
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they feed protein throughout the year. They only

975
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: feed the corn during hunting season.

976
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'd be interested to know about all.

977
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: That try to keep the ratio correct.

978
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: And exactly like what they're doing too, because since they

979
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 3: got the property to now, it sounds like the genetics

980
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 3: have increased quite a bit and so that's all super interesting.

981
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: You could get into like the dough is the one

982
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: that actually carries the genetics, like if you read some

983
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: literature on that, but.

984
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: Like a trophy dough.

985
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently the dough is the one that predicts the

986
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: antler size and stuff a lot of it has a

987
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: huge portion of that. So it's tough to know that.

988
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: But just start cowering up doors.

989
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: But man, that was.

990
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we get to go back, we only need

991
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 3: to change two things. We only messed up on two things.

992
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 3: Thing one we need to we need carry with us. No, well, okay,

993
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 3: three things. We need to not have such an aggressive

994
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 3: like outdate. Yeah, and we need to maybe borrow Angelo's

995
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: giant cooler.

996
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, just we had we brought home three coolers. Yeah,

997
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, just the meat to take to the process,

998
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: even bigger cooler, you know, like what we to Georgia.

999
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: We can do that. We have a sprinter now, yep. Yeah, man,

1000
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: that was a ton of fun. Stealth rig man. That

1001
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: thing's pretty cool too. And there was a couple you know,

1002
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: the magnet's pretty heavy on there and it you know,

1003
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: got the metal plate that it connects on to. So

1004
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: like the style of hunting we were doing, it wasn't

1005
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: super well.

1006
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 2: I should have used it to night eye hunt.

1007
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:21,959
Speaker 1: You could.

1008
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: Because I was climbing that tripod I did almost felt.

1009
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 2: I didn't bring a pull up rope.

1010
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 3: I didn't bring my I brought nothing because I thought

1011
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 3: it was I thought it was all blinds. I didn't

1012
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: We didn't really know much anyway. I could have used

1013
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: it to hook my bow on because there was no thing.

1014
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 3: I was holding my bow climbing this ladder with three

1015
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: land camera and I went to grab the chair and

1016
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: it started like lifting up and then I thought I

1017
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 3: might be falling backwards off this ladder and my butthole

1018
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 3: was puckered, and I managed to get up there without dying.

1019
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: But the stealth rig would have been very handy to

1020
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 3: just pop it on my.

1021
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, that was a that was a ton of fun.

1022
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:02,479
Speaker 2: Yep.

1023
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, So self throg, I think is a cool thing

1024
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: we did when we were prodator hunting. You would you

1025
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: had a tripod and it had the metal plate on

1026
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: top of the tripod, so you would just drop the

1027
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: gun that was had a picatinny mount that mounted on

1028
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: the magnet mounted on the maget's strongest ship, and you

1029
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: would just drop it on the tripod and you're just

1030
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: settled on that tripod there. You didn't have to worry

1031
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: about tighten it down or anything.

1032
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: You could pop it off, put.

1033
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: It back off your back, or whatever it was. It

1034
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: was cool.

1035
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 3: I think that ends our hunting season kind of other

1036
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 3: than stuff around here.

1037
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: Right, So around here we got Illinois with access at

1038
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: least in Illinois a place in Kentucky we can go.

1039
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 2: So how long does bo season go up there?

1040
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: I think, because I think there's two weekends of gun

1041
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: and then it opens back up to bow. It'd be

1042
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: like late season bo. Yeah, so if you use a

1043
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: bow you're around, you can't apparently on those two weekends.

1044
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: It might be like Iowa, like when Iowa goes into

1045
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 3: gun season, you can no longer use a bow, so

1046
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 3: you can't do the lesser weapon thing.

1047
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: Really yeah, which is weird.

1048
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't know why why that would benefit anybody, but anyway.

1049
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: All right, let us know how much you hate hut overcorn.

1050
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: Sure you will peace
