Some of these, some of these 10 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: intros seem repetitive, so throw out the old radio man voice. 11 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: Maybe you guys liked that. I don't know if you 12 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: liked that, let me know. I'll just do the whole 13 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: podcast in radio man voice. But what I wanna do 14 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: is this week we're gonna be jumping into your questions. 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: As radio man said, head into the mailbox. And oh man, 16 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: I've got a just pile of success stories. I'll just 17 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: read a couple here. Colin Johnson says, ELK party and 18 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: it was over. Just picture of a big old bull. 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: Jason Lee Roy says, thanks for Podcast fifty five. I 20 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: created a party and the biggest bull ever came in 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: to join. You're completely changing my hunting world. Thank you, 22 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: thank you. Then we got one here from Rob Garrett. 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: He says, Remy loved the podcast, thanks for putting them out. 24 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Put one of your mentioned tactics to work on this 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: guy and help me bring home a dream Roosevelt. I 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: laughed when you mentioned it on the podcast, but I 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: had nothing left in my bag of tricks. After raking 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: and bugling, I decided to take a leak on the ground. 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: This gave me the one final bugle I needed to 30 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: close the distance. I would think between all our ELK series. 31 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I've just got so many messages year of 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: success stories, awesome photos. Thank you guys so much for 33 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: sending those in. They are incredible. I think I've had 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: I was trying to tally him up a little over 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: fifty messages of just success pictures, maybe even sixty of 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: success pictures, first time out kills, a lot a lot 37 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: of them first time out kills, and most of them 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: attributing to success. To one of the most recent podcasts, 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: I would say the number one tactic people are pulling 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: out this season ELK Party. That tactic has just been 41 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: gold and I myself ELK partied a bull end this 42 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: last week. Gosh, I was just I was calling from 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: my buddy Dusty, and I think in seven days, I 44 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: don't even just countless bulls within range. He was recurve 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: hunting and we I don't know. It was like one 46 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: of the best weeks of elk hunting I've ever had. 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: And I don't know how we didn't shoot a bull. 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Was like every bull did not offer a shot. I'd say, 49 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: like a dozen bulls twenty yards or less. It's something 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: like we called one bull in three times and just 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: no shots, like thick stuff always stopping. He had one 52 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: bull five yards from him and just thick stuff, no shot. 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: So that just happens. Man. You could have everything right, 54 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: you could have a great situation and sometimes just no 55 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: no shot, no opportunity. But really good elk season so far, 56 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people just sharing their success and 57 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: using a lot of these tactics. And they're obviously tactics 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: that I use myself. So I love hearing that. Thank you, guys. 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Let's jump into a few of these questions here. I've 60 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: got a list of them. This week, we're gonna be 61 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: talking about a whole bunch of different stuff. We got 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: some upland stuff, some different species, a lot of questions 63 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: on camping and gear and all the good things that 64 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: are involved with hunting, all the questions that you guys have. 65 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: So let's jump in right here. Since we're talking elk, 66 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: let's just keep some of these elk questions going and 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: then we'll jump into some other stuff. The first one 68 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: says is from Tyler. He says, Hey, remy love the podcast. 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: I grew up hunting white tails slug hunting in Minnesota 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: and now live in Montana learning how to Western big 71 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: game hunt. Your podcast has been extremely helpful. One question 72 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: I had was about calling elk in rifle season November 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: time being after the rut mostly is there any utility 74 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: in using calls this time of year or is it 75 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: more spot in stock at this point? Thanks again for 76 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: your help, Tyler. That's a great question. I always have 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: elk calls with me no matter the time of year, 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: So from archery season through even late season December, whatever, 79 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: I'll have elk calls with me. The use of those 80 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: out calls changes, so by the time November hits, you 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: aren't unless I mean I have random random story of 82 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: a bugling bull in November super super rare. You aren't 83 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: really probably gonna call elkie and unless it's a certain 84 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: scenario that time of year, but you want those elk 85 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: calls because yes, it's going to be a spot in 86 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: stock game. However, those elk calls will be used primarily 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to stop elk if you bump elk, I would say 88 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: nine point nine nine percent of the time if you 89 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: hit that alk call like a cow call or even 90 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: a bugle later season, as long as there's not a 91 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: lot of other hunters that might the loud noise might 92 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: draw to your location, it'll stop those elk. And I 93 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: use it constantly. Also, as I'm walking through timber or 94 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: maybe making noise or getting close to elk, I have 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: that cow call out and I might just do those 96 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: soft cow calls as I'm walking. Sometimes you might get 97 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: a response from another cow or just put elk at 98 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: ease if they hear something moving through the woods. So 99 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: those calls are effective all year long, but they're like 100 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: intentions and purpose change, So normally I use them later 101 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: for stopping elk primarily, and then as just a calming 102 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: technique or as I'm moving through sometimes a little bit 103 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: of location with the cow call, but very rarely. Now, 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: if I have a scenario where I see like a 105 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: loan cow and I'm cow hunting or whatever, I might 106 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: be able to draw that cow to my location using 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: a cow call. But generally it's just for spooking out 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: so as I'm moving. In a lot of times I 109 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: have that cow call just at hand because the second 110 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: if if I mess up or something happens, I need 111 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: to get a quick shot. Or even after you shoot, 112 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: man uses tactic guiding. When a guy shoots, I just 113 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: wrench on the cow call because they hear that sound 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: and it makes them curious. They stop, they want to look. 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Almost every time, I would say pretty much every time. 116 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: So definitely still use calls, but you won't be calling 117 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: them in like September. This next question comes from Josh. 118 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: He says, how do you choose your camp area when 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: you're out hunting? I got a lot of questions about that. 120 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people asking, Okay, what's too 121 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: close to my hunting area? How do I decide where 122 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: to camp? You know, it depends on where you're hunting, 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Like if you're if you're gonna be hunting based out 124 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: of let's say, what I call like truck camping, where 125 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: you're camping off the road and then day hunting different areas. 126 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: I like to pick a camp central to a lot 127 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: of different places close to where I'm hunting, but also 128 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: good access to other or places that I'm going to 129 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: be going. Maybe you're gonna hunt up this one trail 130 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: one day and another another day. So just having good 131 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: access is a great way to choose your camp location. 132 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: And if you're packed in a lot of people get 133 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: worried about camping too close to the animals. Yeah, I 134 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: mean I I definitely wouldn't pitch my camp right in 135 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: the area where they're feeding. I like to kind of 136 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: keep it a little ways away and obviously down wind. 137 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: It depends on how you're going to be camping as well, 138 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: Like if you're gonna be I would say like low 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: impact camping where you're biv wack hunting, you're just kind 140 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: of camping as you stop. You can camp a lot closer, 141 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: you stay quiet at night, you don't build a big fire, 142 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: you don't hoop it up. Then you don't have to 143 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: be so far away. I mean you could be within 144 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: half a mile, quarter mile, maybe even near just the 145 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: ridge below where the animals are hanging out as long 146 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: as you're just kind of keeping to yourself and not 147 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: really disturbing that area. Now, when you're talking about maybe 148 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: just picking a specific spot for a camp or tent 149 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: or other things, it can be difficult sometimes. I mean 150 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: I go through that too, where I'm like out hiking 151 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: or I was like, okay, is this a good spot 152 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: to camp? Here's what I look for. I look for 153 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: a flat spot. I look for something tucked out of 154 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: the wind. I look for a safe place where I 155 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: definitely do not ever pitch a camp in burned areas 156 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: with trees around. You're better off being out in the 157 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: open if there's like a lot of timber potential for 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: trees to fall, or trees if you got some kind 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: of shelter to keep you out of the wind, but 160 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: definitely live trees. So you just want to be thinking 161 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: of those things. And then anywhere that might be protected 162 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: from the prevailing winds is always good, but it's not 163 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: always possible. You know, I never really set my camps 164 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: up on ridge lines or ridge tops one it just 165 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: gives away your position. Maybe maybe there are some good 166 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: animals around where you're at, so try to keep a 167 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: low profile when I set up my camp, but I'm 168 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: first off looking for a flat spot and then I 169 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: extrapolate out a good campsite from there. I got a 170 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: question here from Brian Rhodes, small game question. He says, 171 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: just started binge listening to your podcast while I'm at 172 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: work seven or eight hours a day. That's what I 173 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: like to hear all day every day. So he says, 174 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: I know you're you like to checker hunt. He said, 175 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: I can't do big game this year due to back 176 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: surgery a few months back, but checker one of my 177 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: favorite wild game to eat. Counting down until I can 178 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: chase Chucker in southern California without a dog. Would love 179 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: some tips or just here checker hunting stories. Thanks for 180 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: sharing your info. Yeah, I think that's that's a great suggestion. 181 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: I'll definitely probably hit on some checker hunting stuff in 182 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: the future. And for those of you who don't know, 183 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: checker just a type of partridge and where I hunt 184 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: them in Nevada or even where Brian probably hunts them 185 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: here in southern California, there's places in Utah and Idaho. Man, 186 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: It's it's a rugged, rough hunt. It's about like hunting 187 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: wild sheep. But you're chasing these birds around. They jump far, 188 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: they run a lot, they can be difficult to find, 189 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: and you put on some serious miles and some serious countries. 190 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: So that has the recipe for everything I like, and 191 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I grew up doing it for a long time. I 192 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: hunted them a lot without a do dog, and I 193 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: would say a few things, a few tips. I mean, obviously, 194 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: get those boots broken in. You're gonna be putting a 195 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: lot of miles on. They generally like to run up 196 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: from down below the water in the bottoms run up 197 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: to the tops. So I picked those like top roosting zones, 198 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: and try to pick those areas where like the rougher 199 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: the terrain, the more chucker you find. That just happens 200 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: to be how it works. After I bust them up, 201 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: I use my voice to call a lot to try 202 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: to relocate them, and using my ears a lot. So 203 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: practice making that chucker sound that that might have sounded 204 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: annoying over this microphone, but getting that chucker sound out 205 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: there and getting it to echo through the canon. You'll 206 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: start hearing them trying to group back up as they 207 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: grew back up, and you can follow in there. When 208 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: I get close. If I don't have a dog, I'll 209 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: actually use my binoculars a lot. So if I don't 210 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: have a dog, I'm glassing a lot, trying to see 211 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: them hopping on rocks and their places, and also calling. 212 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: So those are some really good tactics if you don't 213 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: have a dog to help you find them, to to 214 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: get in close. And then as I get in close, 215 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: I actually sneak because I don't want them jumping too early. 216 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: If I know it's a big group too. If that 217 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: first one jumps up just out of range, don't shoot, 218 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: try to get closer. I realized that when I'm hunting 219 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: other things and I jumped Chucker, I end up getting 220 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot closer to the big covey than taking a 221 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: long bomb on the single that jumps early. So that's 222 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of a helpful tactic. If you got 223 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: one or two that jump and you know there's more, 224 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: don't take those long shots because then you're gonna get 225 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: the rest of the flock to jump too far out. 226 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: Be patient getting close and and make some good jumps, 227 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: some good shots. Next question comes from Bradley grow. He says, here, 228 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: remy love what you do, And I've heard every podcast 229 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: you have. I do have a question. I drew a 230 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: late season archery olk tag in Arizona. I've heard some 231 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: of your tips for locating them, but was wondering if 232 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: you have any tips for closing the gap. I've hunted 233 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: deer throughout the West and understand spot and stock. Is 234 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: there anything you would add to hunting elk in the 235 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: late season. Thanks for all that you do that. That's 236 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: a great question, and I know those late season elk hunts, 237 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: especially with a bow, can be difficult, but it's a 238 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: good tag to have because it's a little bit easier 239 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: to get some of those tags and some good areas. 240 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of areas around actually 241 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: that have some late season hunts, and actually for Arizona, 242 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: I would say, well anywhere for for late season. What 243 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: I would probably do is mostly plan on it's all 244 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: going to be spot and stock, but I would plan 245 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: on glassing in the mornings, watching where they go, then 246 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: get into a position very close to where they went midday, 247 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: and kind of a technique of stocking and ambushing simultaneously 248 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: where if you can't see where they went, into maybe 249 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: setting up where they might go or come out to 250 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: and then planning your stock as they're moving into feed 251 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: for the evenings. Another really good option is just if 252 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: you can see one bedded, that's that's a great time 253 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: to stock a bull. I would say out of elk, 254 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: deer antelope, elk are probably the easiest animal to to 255 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: stock because they don't necessarily care about sound as much. 256 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: Late season, those bulls might be broken off on their own, 257 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: so they might just be solitary. They're big animal. When 258 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: they're bedded, they can be fairly easy to creep on. 259 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's easy, but between elk, 260 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: deer or antelope, I would if someone's like, you have 261 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: to stock one and you've got to be successful, I 262 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: would choose elk because they you can get away with 263 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: a lot more. Now you just have to obviously watch 264 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: the wind, watch their eyes. But if you've got a 265 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: solitary bull or maybe a group of bulls bedded, that's 266 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: going to be your best opportunity. If they're betting and 267 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: really thick stuff, you know, try that combination of spotting 268 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: them in the morning and then trying a combo ambush 269 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: stock in the evenings. If that works, if you can't 270 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: relocate them, and make a good stock on a known 271 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: location of that elk Alright, we're gonna travel down to 272 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: tech exists. We've got a access to your question. This 273 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: one comes from Jeffrey. I'm just gonna kind of paraphrase here, 274 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: but essentially, what he's got going on is he's got 275 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: a small piece of property, maybe forty acres, and he's 276 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna start hunting it with a recurve. He's got some 277 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: access to deer that are coming in, but he says 278 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: he's he's stocks several bucks within forty yards and had 279 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: some wonder by about that close. He just needs them 280 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: closer because he's recurve hunting. One didn't know if I 281 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: have any tips or tricks on how to get within 282 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: distance under those circumstances. Now, he can't really stock because 283 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: it's a smaller piece of property and it keeps bumping 284 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: him off. But also he's set up and they just 285 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: don't seem to be going to a specific place. So 286 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: he wants to know if I found a good way 287 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: to call them or to help get them closer access. 288 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Deer hunting is becoming more and more popular, and if 289 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: you have something like that where maybe you've got a 290 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: small piece of property. And this this could go for 291 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: deer hunting, like white tail hunting whatever. I mean, there's 292 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: a lot of places in this country where you don't 293 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: have big tracks of public land. You got hunt smaller 294 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: little pieces. So an ambush tactic is going to be 295 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: your best bet kind of creating some kind of pattern 296 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: with the animal, whether it's white tales, whether it's access 297 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: to your figuring out when they come to where they are, 298 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: what is it that they like? Are they betting there? 299 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: Are they feeding there? Are they just traveling through? Identifying 300 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: that and then trying to exploit that. Now with access 301 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: tore in particular, I do actually call them quite a bit, 302 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: and I use my elk calls for that cow call. 303 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: Mostly they make a chirp sound like, and that can 304 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: maybe help entice them your way access to your do 305 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: kind of rut year round. So if you hear some, 306 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: they don't necessarily bugle. They're more squeal like. And I'm 307 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: making a lot of horribly enacted animal noises of this podcast, 308 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: but that sound of an access to your buck, you know, 309 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: kind of sounding off like their form of a bugle. 310 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: Once you hear it, you can actually try to mimic 311 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: that I've called them in with my voice, but that 312 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: call works pretty good. Um, if you don't have a 313 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: diaphragm call honestly, the hoochie mama, I guess the premios 314 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: makes Remember that like push button elk call works pretty 315 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: good for access to hear. Another tactic that I've found 316 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: that works pretty solid is like a fawn and distress call. 317 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: So what that is is that's the sound of a 318 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: fawn that maybe is in danger or another deer and 319 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: what happens is access to you or hurt animals. So 320 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: if in the right conditions, they may run in and 321 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: try to charge whatever is on that animal to get 322 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: it away. And so by blowing that call, you could 323 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: possibly have them run into your location. And those work 324 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: on other animals too. I've I've used dear and distress 325 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: calls with success, and there's kind of two reactions. They 326 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: either run away or they run into you. UM. I've 327 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: used them on mule deer in the Southwest, primarily like 328 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: the desert meal deer down in Arizona. I've actually used 329 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: it early season and some Nevada locations as well. Uh, 330 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: black tails, I've used a distress call. I've used it 331 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: on white tails does a couple of times as well, 332 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: so that there are calls for a lot of different 333 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: types of deer that aren't just mating calls. Those distress 334 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: calls can work pretty good. They also work pretty well 335 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: and have alina. If you haven't have a chance for those, 336 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: especially being down in Texas, maybe that's something you might 337 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: have running around as well. Or hogs. Actually, distress calls 338 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: do work for hogs to have called a fewe without, 339 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: so that's that's an option. Kind of went down to 340 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: rabbit trail their distress calls, but I think it's it's 341 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: a good tactic to know, all right, Alex As a 342 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: question here, he says, Hey, Remy really dig the podcast. 343 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm a lifetime East Coast guy who moved to Colorado 344 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and I've really dove into 345 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: backpack hunting, climbing, fourteeners, the whole stick. He says. I've 346 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: been doing more long trips for hunting recently, and I've 347 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: been planning increasingly longer out of state hunts. I just 348 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: listened to your Meat Care and Transportation podcast and got asked, 349 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: what about the hard sided coolers in d I A. 350 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: I see dudes with two big gass coolers to slip 351 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: lcom in all the time. Did they fly the empties 352 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: in buy them in town after successful harvest? I might 353 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: have missed it, but have to know, that's a great question. 354 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: So I think what he's saying is obviously what he's 355 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: saying is in the airport, you know, you see these 356 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: guys coming back from Elk Hunt and wherever, Denver, wherever, 357 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: and just you know, like hard sided coolers. I've done 358 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: that in the past, where I would just essentially buy 359 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: cheap coolers after I was successful somewhere like good Walmart, 360 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: buy a cheap cooler, fly at home. I just ended 361 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: up with a cooler graveyard of cheap coolers that were 362 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: just a garbage So I stopped doing that. I felt 363 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: like it was fairly wasteful, quite expensive, And that's why 364 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: I started using those soft sided coolers because I got 365 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: a lot more uses out of them throughout the year. 366 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: Nothing you can't use those other coolers throughout the year, 367 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 1: but they just didn't. They just weren't as good quality. 368 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: And I had some really good YETI coolers that I 369 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: take on trips. So some guys will fly with their coolers, 370 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: like pack their gear and the cooler fly with it. 371 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: It's bulky, it can be. It just depends on how 372 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: remote you're going, or where you're flying or kind of 373 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, if you rent a car and you've got 374 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: like all your you and your buddies gear and in 375 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: coolers in a rental car doesn't work that well, so 376 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot of guys end up buying them later. Um, 377 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that that's necessary. I mean, I've 378 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: found that the soft sided coolers work just as well, 379 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: or I mean even just like um, meat boxes were good, 380 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: like wax boxes, putting something in there and just making 381 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: sure it's something that's not going to leak. But the 382 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: hard sided cooler does work as well, and for most 383 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: airlines you can actually put dry ice in there. I 384 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: can't remember if I mentioned that or not, but if 385 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: you've got a hard sided cooler that vents, it has 386 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: to vent. You've got to have that vent open. But 387 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: you can pack dry ice in there, as long as 388 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: you label it and check with your airline regulations. But 389 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: that's another great way to do it, so I guess 390 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: if I missed talking about that. That's definitely also Another 391 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: option when you're traveling is to just pick up some 392 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: coolers after you're successful rolling whatever. But I think it's 393 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: just better to arrive with your own stuff or have 394 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: kind of a like a another plan on like the 395 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: recent Carabo hunt. I just use like a yetty panga, 396 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: which is just a big dry bag. I froze my meat, 397 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: put it in that bag, and then just I actually 398 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: had some of those yetty ice things in there with it, 399 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: and then just checked it as frozen and everything came 400 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: back home frozen. And that's just like a light way 401 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: to do it, just a large dry bag instead of 402 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: a cooler. The bottom of the plane is pretty cold. 403 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: As long as it's frozen ahead of time, you're gonna 404 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: be fine for the majority of a day, especially if 405 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: you're flying on an airline that has some kind of 406 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: cold storage, which I did talk about a little bit. 407 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: So lots of options. Just kind of pick the one 408 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: that works for you and go with it. Alright. I 409 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: got a lot of questions on this same topics, so 410 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: we're definitely going to cover this one comes from Will Rogers. 411 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: He says, any advice on hunting spike Elk. I have 412 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: a spike tag in Utah and I'm interested if you 413 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: have anything on that it's a rifle hunt starts October 414 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: three and goes to love your content. Thanks. Yeah, So, 415 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, you think about a lot of areas may 416 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: have you know, different tags. Some areas might be bull 417 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: only tags, Some areas are any elk tag, some areas 418 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: are brow time bull which you know a brow time 419 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: coming off the lower third of the horn. Or some 420 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: tags might be spike tags. I would say areas that 421 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: offer spike tags often are and this is just kind 422 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: of a general rule. I don't know about the place 423 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: you're hunting, but often places offer spike tags in limited 424 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: entry units for what would be considered maybe trophy bulls. 425 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: So an area that's kind of hard to draw, they'll 426 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: throw out some spike tags because they've got maybe too 427 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: many bulls, but they don't want to shoot that higher 428 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: age class bull because there's guys with a lot of 429 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: points have been waiting a long time and they're managing 430 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: it for trophy potential good age class. So to kind 431 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: of help the population and maintain the good age structure, 432 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: they offer a few spike tags or maybe like over 433 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: the counter spike tags and cow tags things like that. 434 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: So you actually have a really good opportunity to harvest 435 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: the bull in those areas because they all get pressured 436 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot less. The hard part might be sometimes finding 437 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: a spike. So you have to understand, like spikes are bulls, 438 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: but they act more like a combo between bulls and cows. 439 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: What that means is they still like to be in 440 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: those big groups, especially in the beginning of October. They're 441 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: still going to be grouped up, so as everything's running, 442 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: spikes like to be in the action, just like the bulls. 443 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: But they're kind of a little stand office. So you'll 444 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: find spikes on their own, but you also find spikes 445 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: in those big groups at cows. I would focus on 446 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: two things early, so I'd focus on finding the cows, 447 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: but you get those groups and the spikes will probably 448 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: be there. Another tactic is spikes gonna be pretty easy 449 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: to call in and they can respond. So if you 450 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: see a loane spike throughout some cow calls some stuff 451 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: like that. As you're hunting and especially early October, you'll 452 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: probably call a few in. Now, obviously, same tactics as 453 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: anything else. Glassing a lot's gonna really help you find 454 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: where the elk are at, and there's no real specific 455 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: place that spikes will hang out is different than maybe 456 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: you're bigger bulls, but you should concentrate on those areas 457 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: where there's a lot of cows because they'll probably be 458 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: there now. Later in the season, spikes will actually I've 459 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: seen groups of spikes of like fifteen sixteen spikes, but generally, 460 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, as it gets later, most cow groups will 461 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: have a spiker two in it. So start finding elk 462 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: and you're gonna just start finding those spikes, and that's 463 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: that's a good way to do it. Whereas those bulls 464 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: might pull off later in the season and be off 465 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: on their own, the spikes are actually probably gonna pull 466 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: in and start joining with those groups that they've been 467 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: hanging out with since the rut. Alright, we've got a 468 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: couple of gear questions here, So Shane Tyler says, I've 469 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: got a gear related question for you. What tripod would 470 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: you recommend for glassing? My Vanguard took a crap on 471 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: me this past week and I'm looking for a new one. 472 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 1: I can't remember if you've covered this topic in your 473 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: podcast or not. If you don't mind giving me a recommendation, 474 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: i'd really appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, I've used a 475 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: lot of different tripods over the years, a couple that 476 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: really kind of stand out to me. It's funny because 477 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: actually the tripod that I use mostly is one that 478 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: I picked up at Costco for like eighty bucks ten 479 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: years ago, and they don't even make them anymore. I 480 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: only say that because just my tripod used for what 481 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: I do is like when I'm solo hunting and self filming. 482 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: I like that like a ball head, but it's not 483 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: necessarily the best for like glassing and other things. So 484 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: the tripods that I use may not even be the 485 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: ones that I suggest, because if you're just using it 486 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: for hunting, I think there's a lot of really good 487 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: hunting tripods that have better features. Couple that probably come 488 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: to mind the most outdoorsman has some great options. It's uh, 489 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: They're aluminum, super durable. They've got a couple of different 490 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: pan head option or like a pistol grip if you 491 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: like the pistol grip. They also have a pistol grip 492 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: with like a pan effect. Use that one a lot um. 493 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: I use the the shorter, the smaller one. I can't 494 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: remember exactly which model it is, but I use that one. 495 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: Over the years, a lot and because I really like 496 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: their mounting system for the binoculars, which can go on 497 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: any tripod as well, but their binocular mounting system is like, 498 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: I think the best one out there, hands down. Another 499 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: tripod I've used a lot is the Vortex ones. I mean, 500 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: I work with Vortex and use their optics, so I 501 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: get access to their a lot of their tripods as well. Um, 502 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: there's some pretty good tripods, Like I think the one 503 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: that I used the most would be the Summit That 504 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: one I use quite a bit, and I've actually got 505 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: to test. I don't even know if I'm allowed to 506 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: talk about it, but I've been testing a new one 507 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: that is going to replace my old tripod that I'm 508 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: pretty stoked about. I don't know when that's going to 509 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: come out. I hate to like throw out teasers, but 510 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm pretty stoked on that. Hopefully don't get in trouble 511 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: for mentioning it, but it's been fun testing it because 512 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: it's it's probably one of the best tripods I've tested 513 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: in a while. So pretty stoked on that, all right. 514 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: This question, I actually don't know who it comes from 515 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: for some reason. The name is not here, but it's 516 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: a good question, so it says uh, I know most 517 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: of the questions you have have to do with the 518 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: main three elk, deer, antelope. My question is when hunting 519 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: desert sheep, are there different tactics you used for locating 520 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: There's a place you might start search first with compared 521 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: to the other three. He drew a desert you tag 522 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: in Nevada, and even though it's not a RAM, he's 523 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: pretty excited to have a chance to chase these awesome 524 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: animals and wants to use the experience to learn more. 525 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: So when one day maybe gets a RAM tag he's 526 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: been sheep hunting before, that's an awesome idea. I mean, 527 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: finding any kind of desert sheep can be difficult sometimes 528 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: or easy. It just depends if you're looking in the 529 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: right area. So you want to find those good vantages. 530 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: Desert sheep country is very open, so you're gonna find 531 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: I would say the first place to scout is finding 532 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: those glass areas where you can cover a lot of 533 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: area at once. Now, there's a couple of different types 534 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: of desert sheep habitat. The first is like more mountainous, 535 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: so you're gonna be probably glassing from the bases, glassing 536 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: up at the mountain. Then the other option is the 537 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: more broken country where you're gonna be going on the 538 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: top and then checking the fingers below. If you can 539 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: get at the bottom and look up into the mountains, 540 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: that's gonna be key. Another key thing is anything in 541 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: the desert. Got to focus on one of their favorite things, 542 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be water. So sheep used terrain as cover. 543 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: You know, they aren't gonna be going and bedding in 544 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: trees mostly unless some areas are a little bit different. 545 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: But they're using train is covered. So the more rugged, 546 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: rocky stuff that's where you used like to be. They 547 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: like to be protected, kind of keep their lambs safe. 548 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: So they're gonna be in some of those more higher peaks, 549 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: but they're also going to be around water sources, so 550 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: locating those water sources and then that's where I would 551 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: start my search and then kind of spreading out from there. 552 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: This question comes from Braxton Helster. He says, I have 553 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: a question on gear weight. I've been backpacking all my 554 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: life and was raised with boy Scout idea of be 555 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: prepared or in backpacking bringing a ton of stuff you 556 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: probably don't need. This year, he has been trying to 557 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: shed down on pack weight and size. I'm wondering if 558 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: I can get some tips on shedding weight budget friendly 559 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: if possible, as I'm in college, what would you say 560 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: people bring that they don't need and what are some 561 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: things you would recommend spending more money on to get smaller, 562 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: lighter versions of this can be related to rifle, western 563 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: hunting gear, or just backpacking camping gear. That's a great question. 564 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: You know. I've spent a lot of time, a lot 565 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: of years kind of honing the pieces in my in 566 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: my backcountry kit, and I try to get the lightest, 567 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: best stuff possible, and over the years has taken a 568 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: lot of years to gain up some of that stuff. 569 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: I was always looking for discounting things, um lighter stuff. 570 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: I would say the first, most importantly, if you're going 571 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: to spend any amount of money on backpacking gear, the 572 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: number one top thing I would recommend is a pack. 573 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: Like expensive packs are expensive because they're good generally, and 574 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: getting a lighter pack that you can still carry a 575 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: lot of weight, Like that's the most uncomfortable touch point 576 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: of the whole process is something to carry it in, 577 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: so it's uncomfortable, So you want to get something that's 578 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: comfortable you want to get something that's a little bit 579 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: lighter but makes the felt weight seem reduced. So a 580 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: really good pack is key plus for hunting applications, You're 581 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: you're using it to get in and you're also using 582 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: it to carry your meat out. So a high quality 583 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: pack is like, if I'm going to spend money on something, 584 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: that's where I'm investing my money. The other stuff I 585 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: can figure out later. Um. The second thing I would 586 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: say would be like a sleeping bag, because lightweight but 587 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: warm is what you want, and there's there can be 588 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: a big difference in like packability size wise, I like 589 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: to go with I've mentioned it before, I used down 590 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: I've used synthetic in the past. I've I've completely switched 591 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: my philosophy. I used to be on all synthetic guy 592 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: and looking for lightweight, really warm synthetics, but now I've 593 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: gone to that downside because I just find it acts better. 594 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: It's smaller, it takes up less size, and is a 595 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: lot lighter for the amount of warmth you get. And 596 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: and those are probably I would say the two main things. 597 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: The other part of that question was things that people 598 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: bring too much of it. If you just want to 599 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: shed weight on your pack. I know, for a fact, 600 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: people bring too many clothes. You need to have the 601 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: clothes you wear, something warm and some rain gear. I mean, 602 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: I've seen so many people bring an extra pair of pants. 603 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, here's what I have, is I have a 604 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: warm if it's like later season or whatever, I've got 605 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: a warm shirt, a base layer, my pants, my outer layer. 606 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: Then I have for warmth a puffer jacket and rain 607 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: gear and a beanie and gloves. And that's what I have. 608 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: And maybe for like, depending on how many days you're going, 609 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of extra pairs of socks and 610 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: maybe an extra pair of underwear if I'm going for 611 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: like a week. I know that sounds disgusting, but um, 612 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: you don't need like doubling up on things that you 613 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: probably won't use. So that's just some like right there, 614 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: an immediate way to make it lighter. If you're gonna 615 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: double up on any thing, I double up on like 616 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: a flashlight, so I have a headlamp and then I 617 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: have like a handheld flashlight that's a higher beam. So 618 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: for finding your way out in the dark, if you've 619 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: got not necessarily for finding your way out in the dark, 620 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: but checking those like that headlamp only works for i'd 621 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: say close situations and I can use that longer light 622 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: or if one of those lights goes down, it's nice 623 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: to have a little bit of a backup. Or if 624 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: you're with a buddy, his his dies, here you go, dude, 625 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: here's an extra. So that's something that I was like, Okay, 626 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a little extra something, But I 627 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: generally try not to double up on things or find 628 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: multiple uses for a lot of different gear that you have. 629 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: So thinking critically about your gear. And if you go 630 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: I've said it before, but if you go on a trip, 631 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: you have something in your packet that you're like, man, 632 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: I haven't used this in a trip or two, don't 633 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: bring it like you probably don't need it until you 634 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: need it, and then you'll wish that you had it, 635 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: but you'll still probably get by, so you'll be good, 636 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: all right. So this last question here comes from Andrews. 637 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: It says, Hey, Emmy, thank you for your awesome podcast. 638 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: I have enjoyed it since it first aired. I have 639 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: a fourth season Colorado Deer Tag this fall and live 640 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Could you give any tips for using slash 641 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: when to use snow chains on your truck in late 642 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: season conditions. I'm not sure what road conditions would warrant 643 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: chains versus just four wheel drive. Thank you. That is 644 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: an excellent question, and I honestly think that there's a 645 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: lot of things that have to do with vehicles and 646 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: the types of things you need in your vehicle when 647 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: you come out West on a hunt. It's it's big country, 648 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: a lot of its remote, a lot of the roads 649 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: are rugged and rough. There's maybe things that in your 650 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: area you aren't used to. Every year I am in 651 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: some way assisting somebody without of state plates in like 652 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: their vehicle, assisting either pulling them out either um having 653 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: to cut down a tree, fix it. Like, There's just 654 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: so many things that I think a lot of people 655 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: are unprepared for. And that's why I think this is 656 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: a really good question. So if you want the answer 657 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: to this question, you're gonna have to listen to next 658 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: week's podcast, because next week I'm actually gonna be talking 659 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: about the twenty top items that you have to have 660 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: in your vehicle to hunt out West, things that you're 661 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: gonna need for recovery, and ways to use them, how 662 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: to use them if your area that you've grown up 663 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: in doesn't necessarily have the same conditions that match out 664 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: here for driving and just off road travel.
