1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: This podcast is presented by Yetti built for the while Well.

2
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another Cutting the Distance podcast. I had

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: such great response on the Q and A on the

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: last one I did, so I've decided to up the

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: amount of Q and A s that we're gonna do,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and just figured now is a good time. The hunting

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: season is upon us, and I just thought i'd be

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: cool to answer a few of the questions that I've gotten,

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: so I had Ben O'Brien come help me. He's going

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: to read a few of the questions. We've gotten a

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: ton of emails. I've responded to as many things on

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: social as I can. However, the emails, I just can't

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: even get to all of them, especially during hunting seasons,

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: but they do get read, and then I'm pulling out

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: a few bits and pieces here and there and putting

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: those into this Q and A as well as I'm

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: taking a lot of the input and building out future

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: podcasts things to talk about. UM. I think that that's

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: extremely helpful because I want it to be about what

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: you guys want to learn as well, so I'll tell

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: you what I think you need to know. But then

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: there's some stuff I'm not even thinking of that people

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: need to know as well. So I really appreciate all

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: the interaction. I think that that's the best part about

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: doing this podcast. That's what's keeping me going is just

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: the awesome response that we've gotten so far, as well

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: as you know, the interaction between everybody. So many awesome

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: success stories that I've seen so far. That's my favorite part,

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: just seeing seeing the success. So thank you very much.

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I brought Ben in today to just give

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: me a hand read the questions. I like the questions

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: to be fresh, so I'm not scrolling through. I'm letting

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: him pick the questions. Then I will read the questions

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: or I will answer the questions. He will read the questions.

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: And as he said, and as Remy said, like, we're

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: reading all your email. So if you send an email

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: in a ramy at the media dot Com, we're reading

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: them all. Um. If you don't get a reply, we apologize.

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: This is our reply, which we are reading all these

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: things and crafting the content um based on this. So

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: we got some good would ready to Remy? I'm ready? Yeah? Okay? Blaine?

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Was that Blaine Anderson wrote in He said, stoked for you.

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: I would love to hear about advice and tactics on

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: reading wind and how exactly it affects your decisions, as

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: well as how and when exactly thermals work. So I

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: think the headline there is like tell us about thermals. Yeah,

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: covered it a little bit in the Mule Deer podcasts

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: or the spot stock just planning a stock as far

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: as you gotta consider wind. But I wasn't able to

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: really dive into wind, and I think that I'll answer

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: it as the question, but I'll also gotta would be

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: a great podcast in the future is just really deep

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: diving into the way wind works. So if you think

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: about fluid dynamics, wind is actually counted like when you're

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: when they calculate the air flow, the flow of air,

56
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: it's the same as water. It's a fluid dynamic. So

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: you also when you're looking at the landscape have to

58
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: think of wind acting like water. If you were to

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: pour a bucket of water at the mountain, how would

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: it flow? Think about the way a river flows when

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: it hits a rock. What does it do? Well? If

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: it hits a rock over the top, it creates what's

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: a bed where it goes over the top and then

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: jets smooth or it hit makes it eddy when it

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: hits something and swirls as it goes around the rocks

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: on the edges. Water does the exact same motions as air.

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: So when you're thinking about the mountain and the way

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the air is flowing, think of it like the direction

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: of the air is pouring water, and how that water

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: would react on the features is how the wind will

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: react as well. That's the best way to think about it. Now.

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Thermals are interesting because they can be consistent, but they

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: can also really mess you up when you're planning stock

74
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: or trying to get in close. So I'll just tell

75
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you the way that I think about thermals. There's a

76
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: ton of You could go on Wikipedia and probably get

77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: the most scientific explanation of exactly what a thermal is.

78
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: But think of a thermal the way I think of

79
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: it is like a hot air balloon. Hot air rises,

80
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: so in the mountains, it's particularly consistent in most places

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of temperature swings between night and day.

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: So in the morning, when the sun comes up, it

83
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: starts to heat the ground. That hot air then rises,

84
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: so the thermals rise in the morning. What that does

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: is that pushes the air or the current up into

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: the air as well as when you put a hill

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: in there, it pushes it up a hill. So in

88
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: the morning, the thermals rise up a hill. Now in

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: the evening it's the exact opposite effect the cooling. The

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: cool air then drops below the warm air, causing the

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: current or the thermal to go down hill. Now here's

92
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: a couple of little tips that they don't tell you

93
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: in the thermal textbook and things that I always think

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: of is that first part of the morning when the

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: thermals first start going. That's when they seem to be

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the fastest but the most inconsistent. Now, you also have

97
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: to remember when you're in mountains, the thermal might be

98
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: rising on the sunny side of a hill, but it's

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: drawing down the shaded side. So there's been a lot

100
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: of times where I've planned my stock the wind where

101
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm standing, where the thermals are going up toward the animal. Well,

102
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: I know if I get into the shaded side, it

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: will be drawing down that other side of the canyon.

104
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: So I play it a lot where yes, it's rising

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: in the morning, but you get in that shaded spot

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and you can. You can actually get around animals and

107
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: make a better stock by trying to stay into the

108
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: shade where they're gonna bed. It'll be drawing or dropping down,

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: so it is consistent of thermal's rise in the morning

110
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and fall in the evenings. But you also have to

111
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: there's that timing issue where you can play the shade

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: on the north faces to get the wind right or

113
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: the thermal right now in the evening. That's the hard

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: one because when the sun's out you might be stalking

115
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: from above, which is generally the best, and then it

116
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: switches once that sun starts to go down. At some

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: point that thermal is going to drop, so you've got

118
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: a time clock ticking. What I like to do is

119
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: I like to try to anticipate what that thermal is

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna do and then stalk into a place where either

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: way I'll be okay. And that's hard to do sometimes,

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: but it's something to consider that. I love it. Man,

123
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: that's it's clear and concises. I've heard you know, wind

124
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: and thermal's explained. I mean it is. I mean standing

125
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: wind is the most important because wind is what gets

126
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: you busted. A lot of people ask, well, what about

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: sent a limit in the when you're hiking and hunting,

128
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: None of that stuff works. You just need to play

129
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: the wind. And just by understanding the wind, I think

130
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that the wind swirls or

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: is finicky and is unpredictable, But by spending a lot

132
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: of time out there, I've really understood that it's not

133
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: as unpredictable as you think if you know what it's

134
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: doing where you're at, and a lot of that is

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe it takes a couple of days to understand what

136
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the winds like to do in that area. And you know,

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: certain times of the day, midday when it's hot out

138
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: and there is no win like, the thermals are still

139
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: your scent will keep going uphill and that's always good too,

140
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: because the thermals are going throughout the day. And then

141
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: you just kind of got to anticipate what's going to

142
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: happen as things change, as the sun moves, and start

143
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: thinking about it critically. Yeah. I mean, in the white

144
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: tail world, everybody's always sent control, send control sad control,

145
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: But having the knowledge of where you're sent is traveling

146
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: at Alice, traveling through landscapes is as if not more important,

147
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: as important than those things, alright, what else we got? Yeah,

148
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: Donovan Billings, He said, Um, and I know you were saying,

149
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: and then my readings too, there's a lot of people

150
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: asking about solo hunting. D I y hunting always, but

151
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: solo hunting being he said. Donovan said, I would like

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: to hear some stuff for the first time, d Y

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: solo public land hunters out there. I'm planning my first

154
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: out of state hunt this year. I'll be camping in

155
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: a tent and most likely going at it alone. I

156
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: could just use some tips on gear and anything else

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: that may come to mind. Yeah, So I have a

158
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: lot of experienced solo hunting and there and there was

159
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that I noticed as well about

160
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: hunting alone. Um, for those that maybe maybe they found

161
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: this podcast through some other means, who knows. I have

162
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: done a show for the last this or and just

163
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: finish our tenth season will be eleven years now, called

164
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Solo Hunters. You can find it on Amazon Prime the

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: newest seasons and then older seasons on YouTube. Still So

166
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen those and this has just happened

167
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: to be a random solo hunting question, start by binge

168
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: watching those seasons because there's just you're gonna pick up

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff watching, especially on What amazes me

170
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: about this isn't exactly what Donovan's asking, but how you

171
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: film those things, like how you specifically captured I know

172
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to get it done without a camera, but

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the best thing about solo hunter is seeing how you

174
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: guys capture these hunts by yourself. Yeah, because it's very

175
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: frustrating for the most part, but we try to leave

176
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the frustration in there the challenge of it. Um. But

177
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: back to Donovan's question, some of the gear, now we

178
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: have such good When I started hunting alone, there was

179
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: no satellite text messaging. There was sat phones that were

180
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: way too expensive for anything that I could afford. Um, there,

181
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't even think we had cell phones when I

182
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: started hunting alone. So I think that there's a couple

183
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: items that you can take with you. But then I

184
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: think there's a few things that you just have to

185
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: do old school. Um, you should always let somebody know

186
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: where you're going and give a I'm going to be

187
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: back by this date time. This is where I am,

188
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: This is what my truck looks like. This is the

189
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of boots I'm wearing. Just in case God forbid

190
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: something happened. Now with so much technology, I also highly

191
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: recommend some kind of SAT messaging system like worst case scenario. Um,

192
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: they've got I call them delrms because mine is ancient.

193
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: But I think it's garment now reach. Yeah, that's a

194
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: good one. Um. The spot ones are really good. I

195
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: always thought the Garment was because that one can connect

196
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: your phone, and then my buddy had that one on

197
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: his Nevada deer hunt this year and broke his phone,

198
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: so then to send a message took him years and

199
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: it was just like old school texting. So that I

200
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: think the spot one has its own keyboard. The in

201
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: reach can out your phone. They've got the Mini or

202
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: another one. That's a that's a great piece of equipment. UM,

203
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: and you can start and stop the service whenever. But UM,

204
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: definitely a good investment. Now. The other thing, when you're

205
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: by yourself, you gotta carry all your own stuff, You

206
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: gotta rely on yourself. I think that the best tool

207
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: you can have hunting alone is being self reliant, and

208
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: what that means is just having the knowledge, being a

209
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: little bit bushy, having the knowledge of if a situation arrived, arises,

210
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: how to get out of that situation. And also, you

211
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have less ability to carry a bunch

212
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: of stuff if you if you've got another guy with you,

213
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: you can split up tent and wait and other things.

214
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: So everything in my pack I critically think about and

215
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: I make sure that everything has multiple uses. Um, you know,

216
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: if I've got a let's see some I'm trying to

217
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: think of some stuff that's in my pack. Always. I

218
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: just try to every trip take out the things that

219
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: I didn't use the trip before until it's about bare bones. Um.

220
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: But I try not to double up on anything, Like

221
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I know some guys will have a multitool and then

222
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: a skinning knife and then all this extra stuff, you know,

223
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: really cut down the weight of the extra things you take.

224
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: Make sure everything has a purpose, and it's like this

225
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: is what this is for, this is what that's for,

226
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: and and bring those kind of a few items if

227
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: that makes sense. That jumped around a little bit there.

228
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean the end reach is a huge

229
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: and I've I've used that all over the place, so

230
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't go anywhere if I don't have

231
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: service without it. I clip it to the the shoulder

232
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: shop of my pack and just leave it there and

233
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: it's always there, it's always charged. It's then on leave

234
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: one without it. Yeah, And if you're by yourself to

235
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: like just being self reliant, you need a little bit

236
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: of extra Like I always have some duct tape wrapped

237
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: around my water bottle. Um, that's always good for patching

238
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: yourself up. Have some knowledge and what's in your first

239
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: aid kit? Go through your first aid kit and no,

240
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: it's in there because you know, the difference between a

241
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: bad situation and whatever I mean I'm talking about the

242
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: dark side of solo hunting is just no one's there

243
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to help you if if stuff goes bad. But that's

244
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: everything else is just hunting, you know. But as far

245
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: as gear goes, you just need something that can get

246
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: you back safely. Really, that's the only difference. I would say.

247
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: This one came the email. I thought it was interesting.

248
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Just one major question. I haven't harvested deer or bear yet,

249
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: and my success is only in bird hunting. How do

250
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: you deal with disappointment in the field, not allowed to

251
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: carry into other hunts. It's seriously hoping to be successful

252
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: this year. And that's from Aaron Pearson, just asking about

253
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: disappointment how to deal with it? I thought that was

254
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: an interesting kind of off the wall question. Oh yeah,

255
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: that's there's a huge mental aspect to hunting. Um. You know.

256
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I I've said it a million times to people that

257
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: I've been guiding or friends that are on a hunt

258
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: calling me, tell me how the hunt good. I mean,

259
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: one of the best things you can take on a

260
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: hunt is a positive mental attitude. And the way that

261
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: I approach a hunt, especially really hard hunts, Like I've

262
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: got a hunt coming up that I know is just

263
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: going to be grueling, So before I go, I set

264
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: my mindset of I'm here to have a good time. Now.

265
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: I think you just have to anticipate that things are

266
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: gonna go wrong and set your mindset that when those

267
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: things go wrong, how you deal with them really determines

268
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: how long, how hard, because once you start getting down

269
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: and you start you start getting frustrated, you start making mistakes,

270
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: you stop thinking clearly you want to go home, and

271
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: you start carrying that into other hunts. Instead of saying

272
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: it as I'm unsuccessful, see it as what today I

273
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: learn this trip, look at it as I'm going out

274
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: for the experience of the hunt, and then take those experiences,

275
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: keep your attitude positive and learn every time like it's

276
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: a learning experience. You go out, you aren't successful, Well,

277
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: what did you do that time that cause you not

278
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: to be successful? You should be thankful that you learned

279
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: that this time. You know, you should be constantly getting

280
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: better and and that should be your mindset. So it's

281
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: really just a shifting of the way you're thinking of

282
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: looking at things. I know, there's so many hunts that

283
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I've been on that have just been especially when I'm

284
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: by myself, grueling, and every day things go wrong. It's

285
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: just part of it. But yeah, it's how you react

286
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: to the things that go wrong. Is it something that

287
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: pushes you forward or is it something that kind of

288
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: drags you down? And that honestly, like your mindset is

289
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: a decision that you make when you get up every day,

290
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: and that can be taken into daily life, and I

291
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: think you decide your attitude. That's why hunting, especially the

292
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of hunting you do most the back country hunting,

293
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: is the most rewarding, at least to me, because it's

294
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: it's constant challenge and you're always left with even if

295
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: you're successful, you're always left with something you didn't do

296
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: right or something you could have done better every single time.

297
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: And that's if you're not out there for the challenge,

298
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: then you got the wrong, wrong mindset in the first place. Yeah,

299
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: but I get it. I've had those tough hunts. You're like,

300
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: nothing's going right. Is this ever gonna work? This sucks?

301
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: But you just have to kind of take it and say, well,

302
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: this is what I learned, this is what I'm going

303
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: to do different. And you might do it different and

304
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, but at least you just I mean,

305
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I almost wake up every morning on a tough funt

306
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: and think this is freaking awesome. Look where I am?

307
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: How cool is this? Like? Be stoked, keep the stoke,

308
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Embrace the challenge, be intrinsically motivated. I don't like the situation.

309
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Motivate you like that. Um here's the one from Dan.

310
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: It just says Dan. Um. A lot of people are

311
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: asking these questions. There are a lot of people writing

312
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: and asking very specific questions that I don't know that

313
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: we can answer. But this is a good example of

314
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Um. He said, I'm a white

315
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: tailed bow hunter from Georgia who has decided on a

316
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: d I y mule deer hunt in southeast Idaho or

317
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: at least putting in for general tax. Any advice you

318
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: want to throw my way would be greatly appreciated. To

319
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: keep up the great work and continued success from Dan. Yeah, okay,

320
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: I think well. First off, the drive from Georgia, Idaho

321
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: is very long. Download every podcast because that by that

322
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: time it will be like fifty two of them, and

323
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: then stunted, start from the beginning and listen through again

324
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: on your way out there, because I think the whole

325
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: point of the podcast is to answer those kind of questions.

326
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I hope that when you listen to the tips and

327
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: the other things, some of them might seem kind of

328
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: random or maybe not in your wheelhouse. But overall, what

329
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it does is give you a database of

330
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: things to think about when you're out there. Honestly, a

331
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: lot of this hunting isn't based on the spot and

332
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: go oh where should I go? Where did you hunt?

333
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: I want to hunt? Where you hunt? Like that doesn't

334
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: even matter because most of the hunts I go on

335
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: it's the first time I've ever been there. The place,

336
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: honestly is the least important thing. It's the little tactics

337
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: of just pick a spot. I don't know how many

338
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: hunts I've just picked a spot. I mean you could

339
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: say people could be going, oh, Idaho is going great

340
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: right now, but I mean find any spot. A lot

341
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: of time. Most of the hunts I look for places

342
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: that people aren't talking about. But you just take the

343
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: things that I've talked about, the little bits of scouting,

344
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: some things from the stories, and just kind of formulate

345
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: a plan in your head, create a picture of what

346
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: you should be looking for, and then just pick a

347
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: random place where it's legal to hunt and you can

348
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: get a tag. And then employees started employing those tactics.

349
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you're asking where should I go?

350
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: I think you're already at a loss. You should be

351
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: asking like, what are things that I should know that

352
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: are gonna make me better? And those are all the

353
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: things that I'm talking about in my mind that will

354
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: make you better. So I think that that's going to

355
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: be the best thing. Yeah. I mean, I'm like, I

356
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: work on this podcast. I work here in mediator, but

357
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of of I mean, you're talking about

358
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: learning how to dog and elk. I mean that's like

359
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: four oh four class level elk hunting learning. But you

360
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: can you can know even if you're a one oh

361
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: one guy, you can listen to this podcast and and

362
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: understand where you need to get to or understand like

363
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: the movement of an animal. You may not be able

364
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: to call like remy, but you can understand the movement

365
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: of an elk or what that elk is thinking, so

366
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: you can. It'll fast track your calling to get you

367
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: to that next level if you understand those things. So

368
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: that's just one example, but they're, in my opinion at

369
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: least are tons of examples of that. Yeah, get you there,

370
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: all right? You got Well, we got one more dialed

371
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: up here. It's from Matt Middleton. He said, I'm new

372
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: to hunting and I'm preparing for my first archery elk

373
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: season here in eastern British Columbia. That's great country over there.

374
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: Having trouble finding hunting partners, so it will be solo.

375
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious you have some tips or pointers to help

376
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: a rookie adult onset hunter be successful. I've been scouting

377
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: and spotted a few cows, but not a lot past

378
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: a rut sign. I'm a little lost on what elevations

379
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: I should really be targeting. I'm in the Columbia Valley region,

380
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: which is very steep and rugged for the most part,

381
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: with quite a bit of open and grassy wetlands in

382
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: the valley bottom. Again, great podcast, huge fan, thanks for

383
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: the help. And he's l hunting correct, he's elk hunting.

384
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: He's really I think asking kind of the elevation he

385
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: should be hunting a lot of questions, but the specific

386
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: question is if you're in this situation, how do you

387
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: target elevations or do you target elevations? So I don't

388
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: necessarily target elevations, but I target the type of habitat

389
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: that i'd be looking for. So we're talking elk um.

390
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like archery, you know, maybe that's a September

391
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: type thing. It doesn't really matter the time of year

392
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: as much um. I would say look for so elk

393
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: are grazers. So let's just break it down. Anytime I'm

394
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking out hunt, first, break it down on your

395
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: knowledge of the species. So, and this can go for

396
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: anything like let's say you've got you're gonna go mule,

397
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: you're hunting for the first time. Your best bet is

398
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: to understand the animal that you're going after. And then

399
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: once you understand that, then understand the type of area

400
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: you're in and then break it down after the type

401
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: of area in Okay, how does this animal interact in

402
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: this area? So based on my limited knowledge of that region,

403
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: but just based on what he said, it sounds like

404
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: it's probably fairly timbered. UM. There's open meadows in the

405
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: in the valleys, fairly steep kind of country. So elker

406
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: elker herd animal and they're a grazer. UM. What that

407
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: means is they prefer grass, whereas like deer like brows,

408
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: the lead the bushes, whereas the grass the elk eat

409
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: the grass. So first thing i'd be looking for is

410
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: feeding areas. UM. Now, if it's super timbered, i'd be

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: looking for those maybe north slopes maybe more gentle north

412
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: slope UM, but maybe those valleys maybe not necessarily an

413
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: elevation thing, so you might have above timberline and then

414
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: open in the valley and then maybe some little openings

415
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: in the north slopes UM in that country, So I'd

416
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: be looking at first for the food. Then I'd be

417
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: looking for areas that contain water. In that country, there's

418
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: probably water everywhere, so that could just be you could

419
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: almost dismiss that, UM and then cover well, is it

420
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: all open or is there some places where they can

421
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: go from food to water to cover in a short area. UM,

422
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: focus on those areas that have that elk habitat. Now,

423
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: every area is different. I'd say a lot of elk

424
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: like that top third of the mountain though, but in

425
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: your area, who knows. Maybe maybe hunting those meadows is

426
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: the way to go a good way to check it

427
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: out and be to scout some of that look for sign.

428
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: If you don't see any sign in those lower meadows,

429
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: then yeah, the key is maybe get up higher. Also

430
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: look for some of those benches and some of those

431
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: finger ridges is coming off the main ridge. UM. Elk

432
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: live in some steep stuff, but they like to bed

433
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: in less steep stuff. So anytime you can find a

434
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: flat spot or a bench in steep country, you're going

435
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: to find elk there, whether it's timbered or not. And

436
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: using your topo map is a great way to do that. Yep.

437
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's a good. So the answer really

438
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: is understand the terrain, and hell, he'll accuse it you don't.

439
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: You're not picking numbers when you're looking at elevation you're like, oh,

440
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: the elk wive eight thousand feet. No, but once you

441
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: start finding them, um, God, this year I had a

442
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: mule your hunt in his early season. It's like I

443
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: was up high and I saw it, no bucks, And

444
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: then I get to six thousand feet and start seeing

445
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: bucks and everywhere I went, they just happened to be

446
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: at that elevation that time here. So if you start

447
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: seeing elk at a certain elevation, you're probably on the

448
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: right track. Try to replicate that other places or deer

449
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, it's not a bad theory of Okay,

450
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: they like this elevation, but also really investigate what else

451
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: is here that time of year, because now if you're

452
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: hunting that same area later, the elk will be lower

453
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: snow and other things Like winter range is a lower country,

454
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: more mild country, has a lot more north slopes and

455
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot more grass. That's what they need that time

456
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: of year. So yeah, I hope that helps. Well that's

457
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: all we got. There's there's hundreds of emails here that

458
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: we're reading and answering, um, And so I'm sure we'll

459
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639
