1 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days 2 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: in the field. This show is about translating my hard 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: won experiences into tips and tactics they'll get you closer 4 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: to your ultimate goal success in the field. I'm Remy Warren. 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: This is Cutting the Distance. Welcome back everyone to Cutting 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: the Distance podcast. This week we are heading to the 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: I can call it the giant mail sack. This is 8 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: the I tried a new system and it worked out outstanding. 9 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: I would say the mail sack is full to the brim. 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: We had five hundred and twenty seven questions so far, 11 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be I think a lot of these. Uh. Normally, 12 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: sometimes i'll get a question, I'll go real in depth, 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: but it might be fun to just kind of run 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: through as many as I and because there's so many, 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: hopefully some of you can get your questions answered and 16 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: just kind of like rapid fire. There's a few that 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: I'll take a little bit more time on and some 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: of these I'll be reading for the first time. As 19 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: I see them and read them to you. I'll try 20 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: to find people's names, but some of them I might 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: not be able to find the name. Just the way 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: that this we did it this week. So we did it. 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: I did a post and then if you missed it, 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: and then people on Instagram and then people put their 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: questions in there, and then I was gonna go scroll through. 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: I just kind of hit the top comments thing and 27 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: going to scroll through and read some of these questions, 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the ones that I like and stuff like that. So 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: we are going to get down to business and start 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: answering your burning questions on cutting the Distance Mail Sack edition. 31 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: Here we go. First question comes from Jesse. He says, 32 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: what's the biggest challenge you find to filming and documenting 33 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: a hunt? I think that from me personally. You know, 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: I've done a lot of solo filming. I've also done 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: filming with crews and other things, and I think that 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: for me at the it's the end product that when 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: the video comes out. The one thing I find the 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: most challenging is how do you tell an entire hunt 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: story in a short amount of time Because there's so 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: many things that go into a hunt, whether it's you know, 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: the journey getting there, the the hiking, it's like all 42 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: the stuff. I feel like the thing that makes the 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: hunt is all the stuff in between. You don't see 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: or don't have the time to show, So it's like, 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: how do you portray uh, Just as an example, the 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: BC Stone hunt that I just recently went on, it 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: is like, you know, almost over two weeks of backcountry 48 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: hunting and not really seeing much as far as sheep 49 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and and being unsuccessful. But also it's like, how do 50 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: you tell the story of like this time passage, this 51 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: like struggle and make it seem like where the person 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: watching it can understand like, oh man, these guys are 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: really grinding it out. How do you make the end 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: video actually feel like you're on a hunt? And I 55 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: think that that's the biggest struggle. So it's it's like 56 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: understanding how to capture that and making sure to get 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: those points, but also being creative in a way that 58 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: it's like people are gonna watch it and it's entertaining. 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: And I think that that's probably the hardest part. When 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: it comes to between self filming or having people film me, 61 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: At this point, I've actually almost feel like I prefer 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: filming myself because I know what I'm doing, what's going on. 63 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: You know, if something spooks, it's on me, and I 64 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: don't have to feel like, oh, somebody else messed it up. Um, 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: but I'm getting used to, you know, having somebody else around, 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: and I find when somebody else is filming is actually 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: more like when I'm guiding or it's like, Okay, you 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: gotta factor in all the uncontrollable things for everyone with you, 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: and that actually is kind of a new challenge and 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: it and it's fun for me as well. So that's 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: what I think on that. Next question comes from j 72 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Allen Smith. He says, if money was no object, what 73 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: hunt would you go on? Oh, that's a very very 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: good question, and it would definitely be some kind of 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: sheep hunt. I think one thing that I've always wanted 76 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: to do would be blue sheep in Nepal, but still 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: after an unsuccessful attempt, stone sheep is pretty high at 78 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the top of my list. And uh, it would be 79 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: sheep somewhere anywhere. I just love the idea of sheep 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: hunting or even just going to some exotic place like 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: Nepal or uh, somewhere in Mid Asia, Jajikistan, Kyrgyzstan. Again, Uh, 82 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: some pretty cool spots in there. So something along those 83 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: lines would would definitely be at the very top of 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: my list. Joe Dibblast how can the world combat all 85 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: the bugling sheep field photo poses? That's a great question. 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: I've been seeing more and more like sheep photos where, uh, 87 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: the sheep's nose is straight up in the air, and 88 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: I just I haven't really fully grasped why that poses 89 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: the pose. If it shows off the curl better, I 90 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: don't really know. I don't think it does. Um. So 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure where that came from or how 92 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: that came about. I see a lot more and more 93 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: lately it's like sheep knows up in the air. Um. 94 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: I just like I like field photos that really display 95 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: the animal. Um. You know. I think sometimes people are like, oh, 96 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: that guy's way far back and whatever. It's like when 97 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: I take a photo of something that I've harvested, it's like, 98 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I don't really care to me being in it. I 99 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: just want to really showcase the animal. So any photo 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: that really showcases that animal and just really says like, oh, 101 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: this is a really cool animal just kind of like 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: pay homage to whatever we've hunted. I know, like non 103 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: hunters really don't understand that aspect. But for me, it's 104 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: like when I take a photo of field photo, in 105 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: many ways, it's like that's that's a memory that is 106 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna last forever. I look at those photos all 107 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: the time. I go back and look through those photos, 108 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: and I really remember the hunt. Same with like the 109 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: European mount or the even a full mount of whatever 110 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: I've hunted. It's like some it's a way to remember 111 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: the hunt in a way, like once the meat is gone, 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: the memory of that animal journey, the whole experience is 113 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: easily accessible through the photos and through having the antlers 114 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: or horns around. And so I always like to do 115 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: the best I can with those photos. I think that 116 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to sheep, they're one of 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: the coolest, prettiest animals out there, one of the funnest species. 118 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: To be able to have the cool opportunity to hunt. Um, 119 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: however you like to remember that experience is cool. Uh, 120 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: But I feel like there's better ways to showcase the 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: animal than the bugling sheep photo as well. I don't 122 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: know where that came from. Maybe on some sheep, though, 123 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: you know you can kind of tell like okay, this 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: is like maybe it's a good book. At how far 125 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: it curls? I I don't really know. Um, And like, man, 126 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't make it look bigger or smaller or tell 127 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: too much about it. But I like one is a 128 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: natural angle, so I can see the drop, see the girls, 129 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: see the see the sheep. Personally, Aaron here asks what 130 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: is your idea of the perfect client when guiding? That's 131 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: a great question. Actually a couple of people are really 132 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: really wanted to know the answer to that. So okay, 133 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: as a just as a as a hunting guy, there's 134 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: a couple a couple of things. First off, uh, you 135 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: know somebody that's just willing to enjoy the experience. You 136 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: know that shows up is like, man, I'm here to 137 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: enjoy the hunt. If it's somebody who's like, all I 138 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: want to do is kill something, it makes it very 139 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: difficult because there's a lot of days in between being 140 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: successful and and actually going on the hunt. You know, 141 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: when you hire a guide, the guides there to provide 142 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: a hunting experience, not to kill. I mean, the goal, 143 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: the end goal is to be successful and kill an animal. 144 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: But sometimes you're limited by the person you're hunting with. 145 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: So when somebody shows up in shape, has been practicing shooting, 146 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: that is huge. Those are the two biggest factors and 147 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: being successful when you're on a guide for like Western 148 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: type hunting, mountain hunting, anything like that. So if you 149 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: if you can do those two things, you're gonna be 150 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: in a lot better position than just having a good 151 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: positive attitude. You know, picking a hunting buddy is a 152 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: very very difficult thing because you want somebody that you 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: enjoy being around, and so just being somebody that's that 154 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: takes the experience in is like, man, you know, we 155 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: hiked up this mountain and we didn't see anything that day, 156 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: but we struggled for it and we put in the effort, 157 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: but you know, something works out, something didn't work out, 158 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: just like enjoying the experience of the hunt. And generally 159 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: those are the people that that find success because they're 160 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: willing to go day and day out hunt hard. But 161 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: also they're just more enjoyable to be around. And then 162 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: to be honest, you know, if if you're a professional guide, 163 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: I'll just say this for all the guides out there, 164 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, to your guide, well, like, I mean, I've 165 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: lived off of tips for a very long time from clients, 166 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: and I have like this this like it's a double 167 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: edged sword because I'm kind of like, man, the whole 168 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: idea of tipping is kind of stupid. But then also 169 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: I've like had to live, like if without the tips, 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't survive. So, um, you know a guy that's 171 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: like very appreciative of the experience, very appreciative of the 172 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: work put in. But it also, I mean it's it's 173 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: double edged you because you know, you've got to have 174 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: a good guide. You know, a guy that really, like 175 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: you can tell, is working his ass off. And you know, 176 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: if you've got a lazy guide and you know, then 177 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: it just it makes the whole experience bad too. So 178 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: I think part of that is just dependent on like 179 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: the guide that you have. And um, you know, you 180 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: can't be a perfect client if you have a bad 181 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: guide in many ways. But if you've got a good 182 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: guide and he's he's working his butt off and doing 183 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: everything in his power to find success for you, um, 184 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, enjoy the experience. Enjoy like pay attention to learn, 185 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: listen because you know he's an expert in what he's 186 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: doing or should be. And uh, you know if if 187 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: you if you just take in the things that he's 188 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: saying and follow along and whatever, that I think you'll 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: be a lot more successful and you'll have a great trip. 190 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: So that's my thought on that. Kenny says, how many 191 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: pairs of underwear do you pack? Oh, depends on how 192 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: long underwear I would if I had to. If I 193 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: had to say, let's say I've got a limited amount 194 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: of space and wait, I would take more socks than underwear. 195 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: I can tell you that. Much like if I'm on 196 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: a week long trip, I'd maybe bringing one change of underwear. UM, 197 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: but I would take more pairs of socks because it's 198 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: nice to like, if your socks get wet, then your 199 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: feet kind of get messed up. I'd like to protect 200 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: my feet. UM, and I just use like a parasynthetic 201 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: um generally under armour. What are they fairly popular underwear? 202 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: I guess um like synthetic material that doesn't really it's 203 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: like anti microbial. You can you can, like literally as 204 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: long as you've got another pair, you can wash it 205 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: off in a stream, hang it out to dry. It 206 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: dries super fast if there's sun and you can kind 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: of swap those around. It's hard to kind of wash 208 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: socks out because they don't dry is easily. So I 209 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: would say a couple one generally, maybe more if it's 210 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: like a really long trip, but for the most part, 211 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: I put my weight in socks. Drew says, I want 212 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: to hear about that new bow. Yeah, so I'm shooting 213 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: now Matthew's V three X. That's certain most version of it. Um, 214 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: you know a lot of I got a lot of 215 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: questions about the new bow and why this bow, and 216 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: in particular and kind of my whole bow set up. 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: I think out of the five and something questions, four 218 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: hundred of them or about my bows. So I think 219 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, I'll do How about I'll do this. 220 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: I'll make a YouTube video, put it up on my 221 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: Rimy war on YouTube account, going through all the features 222 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: of just my bow set up, arrows, broadheads, thoughts on 223 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: all the things, just to kind of do that a 224 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: little bit more in depth. It might be kind of cool. 225 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that on there, but it's 226 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: a good place to do it. So we'll do that. 227 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: So you can go cruise over um to my YouTube 228 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: channel and see if you want to, like check out 229 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: my entire bow set up. But I think you know, 230 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: for for me personally, when it comes to a hunting bow, 231 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: there's a lot of features that I really want. I 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: want something that holds the tune really well. Um, because 233 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: it's like I'm traveling around a lot or whatever, and 234 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: I want that bow to be shooting where it was 235 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: shooting when I was practicing, So fewer moving parts, fewer 236 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: things to go wrong with it. Um. I like simplicity 237 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: in it, and I like something that's very quiet when 238 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: you when you have you know, my thought is this, 239 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: like if I go and let's see a couple of 240 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: years ago, I was just like I was on a 241 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's had a tag, traveled a long ways. 242 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: I only had a short amount of time to hunt hyped. 243 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know, like in the three days fifty 244 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: miles got on a deer. It was sleeping and it 245 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: like my setup at the time was super loud, and 246 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: the buck jumped the string and my arrow was sitting 247 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: in the bed where the deer should have been. It 248 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: should have been the difference between a dead deer and 249 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: a deer that ran away was the noise of my setup, 250 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: you know. So I was like, the thing I really 251 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: like about this new Matthews boat, it's so quiet. I 252 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: have yet to I mean knock on wood. I mean, 253 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: it's not that it can't happen. But I've yet to 254 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: have anything jumped the string. Just last week I shot 255 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: an access deer, like a pretty good arrange that I 256 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: probably would never shoot an access deer up because you know, 257 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: they generally jumped the string and like, no string jump, 258 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: perfect shot, Like that's what I want. I want to 259 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: put the arrow where it should go and not have 260 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: anything here. And I've got a pretty heavy set up too, 261 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: So you can check more out about that on the video. Um. 262 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, well, so far love that bow. Everything's streamline, 263 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: everything's all together, Uh, quivers real tight up against it, 264 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: so not you know, bucks the wind really well, like 265 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: in windy conditions, mountain hunting spot and stock everything's really 266 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: tight in there. And I really like that. I really 267 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: like that about it. Next question comes from Justin. He says, Hey, 268 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: Remy love the podcast. I'm a new hunter and wonder 269 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: if you have any tips on navigating heavily hunted public 270 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: lands without messing up other people's hunts. Yeah. That that's 271 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: a really good question, and it got a lot of 272 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: people were curious about the same thing. Um, So here's 273 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: the thing. You know, when you're on public land and 274 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: there's other hunters around people are gonna be bumping into people. 275 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: It's just it's just a it's just a factor of it. 276 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: It's almost something you gotta actor in at the beginning. 277 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: But I will say, don't do stupid stuff, like if 278 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: you hear someone like, let's say you're in an area 279 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: and you're it's a trailhead. Okay, well you don't know 280 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: exactly where those people are gonna hunt, so yeah, cars 281 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: are gonna maybe stack up at certain trailheads or whatever. Um. 282 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: One thing I would do is like if you look 283 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: at an area and you're like, okay, this is enough 284 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: room for one person or two people to hunt, and 285 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: you're the fifth car in there, you know, maybe just 286 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: trying to find somewhere else. You don't need to be 287 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: walking in on people. If it's an archery elk season 288 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: and you're like you see a you know, you're you're 289 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: like in there a little bit later and there's a 290 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: bugle going on, and it's like, man, you're probably gonna 291 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: walk in on somebody bugle. Like if you hear somebody 292 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: bugling an elk and an elk bugling, like, don't don't 293 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: go interfere with someone else's hunt intentionally. There's gonna be 294 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: those times where you just randomly bump into people. But 295 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: what I like to do is like figure out where 296 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: people are at and then go somewhere else. Um, that's 297 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of my strategy. Or just get up early and 298 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: be there first, and people are gonna bump into you. 299 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: People are gonna probably mess up some things. But I 300 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: kind of hunt planning and knowing that I'm going to 301 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: be bumping into people. I can see if it's your 302 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: first time or whatever, just kind of feeling uncomfortable, like oh, 303 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: here's this one trailhead to access a bunch of area 304 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: and there's already vehicles there. I don't want to walk anywhere, 305 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: and it feels like there's nowhere to hunt. I've I've 306 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: run into those situations too, in like new spots where 307 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, this place is full, this place is full. 308 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: All my plans kind of got full, and then I 309 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: just try to look for those places in between where 310 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: it's like, well, maybe you know, maybe here's a spot 311 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: where it's not as full, and maybe there's not as 312 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: many elk here, deer here, but it's a place where 313 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: I can kind of get away from people. And then 314 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: there's the other thought of like sometimes you get to 315 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: this place and there might be vehicles and you are like, well, 316 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm going way back here, and you get back there 317 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: and you don't see anyone. So I think it's just 318 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: being like literally the Golden rule applies everywhere. Just treat 319 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: other hunters how you want to be treated. If you 320 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: were working an animal or doing something and you think 321 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: that that might mess up or interview you're with someone else, 322 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: don't do it. But also, you know, take the opportunities 323 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: that you see and and don't worry about like being 324 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: messed up or whatever. Just hunt and then if something happens, 325 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: it happens. So I think that goes for like that 326 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: pretty much the way that I look at it. Cameron says, 327 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: what's the best way to close the distance on elk 328 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: through oak brush? It's super loud, hard to see through, 329 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: very hard to sneak into archery range. Any tips, And 330 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: there was actually a really good comment in here which 331 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: is the same thing that I would describe. He says, 332 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: keep a diaphragm in the mouth and if you make 333 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: some noise, you make out some use some muse When 334 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm hunting elk in loud country, I've got that call 335 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: like in my mouth, ready to go. I might be 336 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: walking around cracking sticks and whatever, and just every now 337 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: and then a lot of time elk. I mean they're 338 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: noisy animals. They hear noise. It's that unnatural noise. So 339 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: anything that might be on the outside of your pack, 340 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: like if you've got your spotting scope tripod on the 341 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: outside of your pack or what have you, and it's 342 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: scraping and hitting the brush, it's going to make an 343 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: unnatural noise. But then so I just move everything in 344 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: trying to make as little noise as possible. You know, 345 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: you don't want your pack like scraping up against the brush. 346 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: Soft clothing works really nice. Um if it sounds like 347 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: natural moving, natural cracking, and just like walking stopping, walking, stopping, 348 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: not just pure snappage the whole way, throwing out some 349 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: cow calls, making some sounds like elk. A lot A 350 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: lot of the time, you might get an elk right 351 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: there to either come in make noise or just kind 352 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: of like stand up, look and then go back to 353 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: their thing after you kind of quiet down and stay still. 354 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things you can do to 355 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of trick the ears of an elk and by 356 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: kind of trying to sound like an elk yourself. All right, 357 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Jack asked, how do you keep your head in the 358 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: game when being solo for multiple day hunts. That's a 359 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: great question, you know. I think for the most part, 360 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: I kind of like look at it as it's it's 361 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: an adventure, and I can't really get down on the 362 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: times that things go bad. There's many It's super easy 363 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: to get your head in this negative space. I've fallen 364 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: into it before, um on solo hunts, on hunts with people, 365 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, kind of getting this like, oh man, it's 366 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Oh this mistake happened. But you really 367 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: just have to keep positive. Anything can happen around the 368 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: corner you're I like to always say, like you're literally 369 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: the difference between the best day and the worst day 370 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: hunting is a split second, and so it's two or 371 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: three seconds, and so you're just looking for those good 372 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: two or three seconds, staying optimistic, pumping yourself up, giving 373 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: yourself a little bit of a pep talks like all right, man, 374 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: you're tired, but today could be the day just around 375 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: that next corner. Like I always keep the super positive 376 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: attitude even when things aren't looking great. It's like, oh yeah, 377 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: I've got um torrential winds and I drink bad water 378 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like crap and I'm not seeing anything, 379 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's miserable. But if you focus on the 380 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: things that are bad, that's where your intentions gonna go. 381 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: That's where things are gonna go, and your head isn't 382 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: gonna be in the game. I always think on the 383 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: positive side. I always think about the next one. I 384 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: visualized that next outcome. I'm gonna spot. I visualize how 385 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to do that stock. I visualize all the 386 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: positive things that could be those outcomes, and it keeps 387 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: me focused longer. You know, when you've got that positive attitude, 388 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: when you're like it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen, even 389 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: if it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. I mean, 390 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: I've been on Huntter it's like five days. I haven't 391 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: seen a single animal, and I'm thinking it's gonna happen. 392 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: I just gotta find that one spot. I need those 393 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: few seconds that like I find the animal and I 394 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: can make it happen. And just playing that over and 395 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: over keeps me in the game, Like, it keeps my 396 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: mind thinking it's gonna happen, so I keep looking harder. 397 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: If I think it's not gonna happen, then I get 398 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: lazy glass and I get lazy hiking. And to be honest, 399 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: like I find a lot of success just using that 400 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: positive attitude to just keep you going to hunting longer, 401 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: to going further, to hunting harder. So just keeping that 402 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: glass half full mentality is a huge key factor when 403 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: you're whether you're by yourself, if you're on a hunt 404 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: with other people, it doesn't really matter. Just keeping that 405 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: positive mental attitude is as much a part of the 406 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: hunt as anything else, and in a huge factor in 407 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: success in my opinion. Hunter asked, how do you introduce 408 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: more people to hunting. I think that there's a lot 409 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: of ways to introduce people to hunting. I think one 410 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: of the primary ways is just like the people that 411 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: you're around. I introduced my wife to hunting through food 412 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: and quite a few people. It's like, here's this this 413 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: awesome thing that hunters get as a It's like we 414 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: get to go out, we get to harvest our own meat. 415 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: It's delicious, and then we get to cook it at 416 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: home in a way that people enjoy it, and by 417 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: kind of through the food aspect. I think a lot 418 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: of people are very interested in hunting. Um. I also 419 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: think to get more people introduced to it is just 420 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: taking somebody out that wants to do it. There's a 421 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of people out there that are really interested in 422 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: going out and hunting, but it's the barrier to entry 423 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: is very difficult. You need a lot of specialized gear, 424 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of knowledge. It takes a lot to 425 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: be successful. Um. There's obviously all these podcasts, you know, 426 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: YouTube videos, all these other things, but you can probably 427 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: learn a lot with somebody that has done it and 428 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: has experienced just taking you out in the field for 429 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: a day. Um, there's a lot to be said for 430 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: just that hands on like getting you through, getting someone 431 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: over the hump of like, hey, let's go out hunting. 432 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: I know a lot of the friends that I have 433 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: that maybe didn't hunt a lot or kind of new 434 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: to it are people that I've I've met and taken 435 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: out is like that initial Hey let's go, let's go 436 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: hunt chucker, let's go hunt quail. Let's let's go. I'll 437 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: kind of show you the ropes, you know, kind of 438 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: go over like this is how you do it. And 439 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: I think just that getting someone over that hump of 440 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: like taking them out makes them feel confident that they 441 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: could do it, or even maybe just like gets their 442 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: their foot in the door. So you know, as hunters, 443 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: if you if there's somebody that you know that's interested 444 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: in it, take them out. Um. And also you know, 445 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: kind of show them the ropes. I think that that's 446 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: the best way as well, just like take somebody out 447 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: into the field hunting. Robert asked here Amy, how much 448 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: prep shooting do you put into your bow before a hunt? Cheers, Uh, 449 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: that's a good question, Rob. I mean, I let's say, 450 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: like every waking moment that I'm not doing something else. Um, 451 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: if I'm not hunting, I'm h every day pretty much 452 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: shoot my bow. Um. But I also just really love 453 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: shooting my bow. And I like to get a bow, 454 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: especially when I get a new bow. Um, I like 455 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: to really get it set up, get it dial. Like 456 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: I like to know every little nuance about the bow. 457 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes I might get a bow that I'm like, here's 458 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: a bow to test or whatever. And I don't have 459 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: a lot of time between hunts. But on those times 460 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: I shoot my bow like more, I would say, like 461 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: just getting it set up all day, um shooting it. 462 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, I start getting a bow set up through 463 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: paper and then just a lot of time in the field, 464 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: UM just doing like you know, shooting three D or 465 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: um just targets outside and just kind of really she's 466 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: really getting to know how that bow shoots, how how 467 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: I shoot it, UM, what I can get away with, 468 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: what I can't, you know, try I try to do 469 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: like a lot of things where it's like, hey, I'm 470 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm at a weird angle, and Okay, how much torque 471 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: am I? How much hand to work am I putting 472 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: in this bone? Really just analyzing and saying, okay, like 473 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: this is the perfect setup. And then once I get 474 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: that set up, I'd like to just kind of keep it, 475 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: like maintain it and don't really um, I don't necessarily 476 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: need to shoot it as much because I might be 477 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: out in the field hunting. But even when I'm hunting, 478 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: like let's say I'm on a backpack trip, I shoot 479 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: even like in the middle of the day at stumps 480 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: and other things. I use just those bludge in saunders 481 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: bludge in tips or whatever, bring a couple of field 482 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: tips or whatever, have a little target and camp, um, 483 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: or maybe just shoot my broadheads at a target and camp, 484 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: have a couple for practice. If I'm like you know, 485 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: newr vehicle or a cabin or whatever. Um, I'm always 486 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: shooting my bow like I like to be shooting, and 487 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: even in the field, like I say, you know, making 488 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: sure when when that opportunity arises. I want to know. 489 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: I don't want to be like, oh, maybe I'll get it. 490 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I want to say, when I released that arrow, I 491 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: know in my head a percent that it's going to 492 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: be a perfect shot. Now, obviously, the animal can move, 493 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: things can happen, you can hit things that you didn't see, 494 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: like sticks and things in the way. But when I 495 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: released that raw, I want to say, Yep, that's gonna 496 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: be a percent. And the only way for me personally 497 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: to do that is by practicing enough to know that 498 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: when I released that arrow is gonna go where it's 499 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: supposed to. I guess what makes you love hunting as 500 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: much as you do. That's a good question, because I 501 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: definitely love hunting. Um, It's it's like, I don't know, 502 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: I never get tired of it. I can hunt you 503 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: know I've founded, uh forehead a family. Um Like, my 504 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: most days in the field was three and twenty three 505 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: days in a single season. That's a that's a lot, 506 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, I was. That's a lot of guiding, a 507 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: lot of being out scouting. You know. I think probably 508 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: I counted some fishing days in there as well. I 509 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: also love to go fishing. But um, I think that 510 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: the reason that I love it so much, and one 511 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: thing that keeps me is just like it's always different. 512 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: I love that. Uh Like, growing up as a kid, 513 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: my favorite movie was Indiana Jones. You know, like that 514 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: that that aspect of adventure. And when I'm out hunting, 515 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: I think that's why I love like mountain hunting, Western 516 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: big game hunting, traveling and hunting like international destinations. I 517 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: love exploring back country areas and like I like that 518 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: idea of like kind of venturing into the unknown. Obviously 519 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: there's pretty much nothing unknown, but for me, it might 520 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: be going somewhere and even in places that I hunt 521 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: a lot where I'm very familiar with, it's like you're 522 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: constantly encountering different things. You know, you could one day 523 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: be going on the trail and see something you've never seen. 524 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: Or it's just it's it's never the same. And I 525 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: like that feeling of like I feel like it's an adventure, 526 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: that that portion of hunting that is like I'm out there, 527 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: it's me and the elements. It's like this very wild experience. 528 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: I'm chasing something and it's like this very primal, very wild, 529 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: very adventurous feeling. And that's what I love about it. 530 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I love it about it. 531 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: There's so many reasons that I hunt, but that's to me, 532 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: one of the major things is like that that's seeking adventure, 533 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: that challenge and excitement of exploring something new and unknown 534 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: or something wild and and not frequented by a lot 535 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: of people. Martial asked, would you bother re trying to 536 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: stalk in on a bumped animal? Once alerted? How long 537 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: would it take for a deer elk to relax? Yeah, 538 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: I h if I bump something, I always continue on 539 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: the course. Um, it just depends on the situation. Sometimes 540 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: with elk, like you might bump them, they run two 541 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: ridges and then by the time you get over there, 542 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: they just like didn't even care anymore. With mule deer, 543 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: maybe i'd bump it and it's like if I win, 544 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: if they win, did you in blew out? You know, 545 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: maybe I'd give it a lot longer, let him settle down, 546 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: let them re bed, let them, you know, maybe make 547 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: a play later. Sometimes you just bump them, like oh 548 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: they heard something, they bumped off, and you just watch 549 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: their behavior and decide for yourself when to proceed. But 550 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: sometimes I will immediately follow up. And other times it's like, oh, 551 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: let's give him an hour, Let's give him a little bit, 552 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: let him settle down. The second stock is always harder 553 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: than the first. It doesn't matter, like you bump something. 554 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: They're kind of like a little bit more on on edge. 555 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: But as long as I have opportunity and I can 556 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: like make a play, then I continue to make those 557 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: plays and and seek those opportunities, whether it's bumped or not. 558 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: Um there's been many times, many animals that have been 559 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: bumped once and and made right on the second one 560 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: learned from the mistake and and redid and got in 561 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: and and made a shot. Josh asked, how did you start? 562 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: What was the beginning of your hunting? For me, I 563 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: started as a kid. My dad took me hunting. That's 564 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: one reason, like I think that. Um, if you've got kids, 565 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, by all means take them out hunting. It's 566 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: it's one of the coolest experiences. Is a great thing. 567 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of like I've I said, 568 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, the adventure, there's the food aspect. Then there's 569 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: just like the family aspect of hunting is a thing 570 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: that we do as a family. Um. You know for 571 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: me growing up, I grew up in it. Uh. I 572 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: could see it being very difficult to get into to 573 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: start if you didn't grow up in a family that hunted. 574 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: But I do have a lot of friends that did 575 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: not grow up in families that hunted and got into 576 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: it from someone taking them out, an uncle, a cousin, Uh, 577 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: you know someone else Like well, I guess that's still 578 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: family or family friend taking him out. My neighbor. Like 579 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: growing up, one of my best hunting buddies was my neighbor. 580 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: His dad hunted when he was a kid, but kind 581 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: of didn't hunt. And then you know it's like me 582 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: and my dad hunted, so he'd always take the neighbors 583 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: with us. Whoever wanted to go was allowed to go. 584 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: And because of it, he's just like you know, he's 585 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: one of my favorite friends to hunt with. Even though 586 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: we don't get a hunt with, we haven't hunted in 587 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: a while together since it's just you know, life gets busy, 588 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: but um, you know, having somebody take you out is 589 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: an awesome way to get into it. And I got 590 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: into it through my family. Jeremy says, what's your favorite 591 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: big game holiday dish to prepare for your family and friends? 592 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

Thanks Jeremy. I would say 595 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: one of my favorite holiday big game dishes is I 596 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: love making a wellington. Um. I do it around the 597 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: holiday season. It's uh, if you aren't familiar with it, 598 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: it's like, essentially, I take a piece of backstrap, UM, 599 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: I make like a I guess, like kind of like 600 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: this mushroom drug sole that I put around it, then 601 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: pursudo around it, and then like puff pastry. Then I 602 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: cook it and it's like it's like a backstrap steak 603 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: wrapped in pastry and it's delicious. It's like one of 604 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: my favorite things to eat around the holidays, and I 605 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: generally don't cook it other times. A year. I don't 606 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: know why. I think I just like it very It's 607 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: like a very special thing. So, um, we always cook 608 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: quite a few around the holiday season, especially with Christmas 609 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: coming up and stuff. That's definitely a go to. Another 610 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: one is just like I like to do this. Um. 611 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: I call it like my prime ribs style backstrap. I'll 612 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: post a video on that here in next week or so. Um, 613 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: if you got my newsletter, if if anybody wants additional 614 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: information or whatever, I'm gonna actually kind of beef that 615 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: up a bit. But you can go on my website 616 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: remmy Warren dot com, sign up for my mailing letter, 617 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: and I try to put a few things. I'm gonna 618 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: start putting a few more things on there that you 619 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: get to see before anybody else gets to see it, 620 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of insight and other things. But um, 621 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: I had a video on there recently and I'll put 622 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: it up on YouTube here in the coming weeks. Uh, 623 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: just prime rib style backstraps my kind of my go to. 624 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: It involves just a lot of rosemary and garlic um 625 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: that I coat on the top and then uh cooking 626 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: the like brown and finish in the oven and you 627 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: can pretty much make like any cut into what tastes 628 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: like prime rib I just did for Thanksgiving, actually did 629 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: a full access to your hind quarter. I stuffed it, uh, 630 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: trusted up, and then put this rosemary garlic on the top, 631 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: put it in the oven, and that thing was a 632 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: little spiker buck man. It was just like the best 633 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: prime rybe you've ever had. You know. It's just like 634 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: really really good an entire hide quarters. So that's, um, 635 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: that's a really good way to do it. Something to 636 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: think about, all right. Evan says, what factors into choosing 637 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: whether to stay in one spot or move to another 638 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: quote unquote better spot? Uh, that's a good question. I think. 639 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: One of the things that I do I like to 640 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: I move. Um. I know there's some people's like, oh, 641 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: sit here and wait it out. Um. For me, it's 642 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: like if I don't see what I'm looking for, I 643 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: move on. And sometimes that I also judge, like what 644 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: time of the day am I looking in an area. 645 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: If I look at an area like this looks good 646 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: and it's like the middle of the day, then I 647 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: can't actually judge the area on how good it is 648 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: because I need to look at it at morning or evening. 649 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: So I might say, Okay, well I'm going to give 650 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: it in an evening. UM. But if I don't see 651 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: something that i'm looking for, I generally moved until I 652 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: find what I'm looking for. I'm very mobile. I stay 653 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: very mobile. There are times where I'm like, Okay, this 654 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: looks really good and I hunt it for a few 655 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: days and then end up finding something because I know 656 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm seeing sign I there's enough country 657 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: that I can glass, but there's a lot of maybe timber. 658 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, there's there's room for these animals to 659 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: stay hidden from me. Um. If it's an area that 660 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: I feel like I cover really well and I'm like, yeah, 661 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: I've seen everything here and I haven't seen what I'm 662 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: looking for, then I just move on. So it really 663 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: just depends on the spot. UM. But I'd say for 664 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: me personally, I kind of tend to be like bouncing 665 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: around more often than not. Bobby says, what are your 666 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: strategies when hunting early season sitka blacktail? When it comes 667 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: to early season blacktail or even like mid season, I 668 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: feel like every time I hunt a blacktail, it's the 669 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: same scenario. I go to the top, I hunt them 670 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: like I would a goat or a sheep go high, 671 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: especially if you're talking early in the velvet. You want 672 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: to be up in the alpine looking for deer. They're 673 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: a lot of spot in stock, you know, just getting 674 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: up on a knob glassing looking for those bachelor groups 675 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: of bucks or bucks, uh, watch them, wait for them 676 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: to bed, then sneak in get your stock on. That 677 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: is a really really, really fun hunt. Sitka blacktail hunting 678 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: kind of all times a year. I find like even 679 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: in those October time frames, you know, pre rut um 680 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: and even later in the rut some sometimes late season. 681 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: I handed them in December last year, they're down a 682 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: lot lower. We had a couple of weeks shooting. Antlers 683 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: would fall off, like drag. Do not drag a late 684 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: season blacktail by the antlers because they're probably gonna shut 685 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: them off. But um, yeah, so I I do that. Um. 686 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: Early season definitely head high and for most of the 687 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: season I like to head eye. It's just where I 688 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: prefer to find them and like to be in that 689 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: open glass al alpine country. Okay, great gas truck keys, 690 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: do you take them with you and risk losing them 691 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: in the field or stash them near the truck and 692 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: hope nobody finds them. That's a good question. I won't 693 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: tell you exactly where I put my keys, but I 694 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: like to have a set on the truck. UM. One 695 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: thing you might want to look into is getting a lockbox, 696 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: UM and then putting that lock box underneath your vehicle. 697 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: So if you're like in an area where you're sketched 698 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: out about maybe there's like a lot of traffic or whatever, 699 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: you can lock your keys somewhere around your vehicle in 700 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: a lockbox. I think that's probably the best option because 701 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: one thing, if I'm with somebody or something happens, I 702 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: want anybody that gets the vehicle to be able to 703 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: like drive it and so and I'm always like a 704 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: little worried about if I if I lost my keys. 705 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes if it's like, oh I've got I 706 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I flew somewhere, rented a car, I 707 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: just take the keys with me. But on my own vehicle, 708 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: I try to, you know, have a lock box or 709 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: something where the keys locked away, but uh, somewhere where 710 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: you can access it. Question comes from Brandon. He says, 711 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: how do you keep your feet warm when it's below 712 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: thirty degrees fahrenheit. I'll use a thousand k insulate boot shoes, 713 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: boots plus thick wool socks still on my toes go 714 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: completely numb after a couple hours. Great question. I get 715 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: cold feet very easily. Um, I've had the frost bite before. 716 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: I think that plays into it. But UM, I use 717 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: till warmers like they're super awesome. And when I use them, UM, 718 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a bunch of different brands. I 719 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: can't remember even the names of some of them. The 720 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: grabber ones are Grabber Grabber, Yeah, I think they're Grabber 721 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: something like that. I just get like the big party 722 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: pack at Costco, whatever is available. But um, when I 723 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: put them in my boots, I put them on top 724 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: of my toes, so I like put it on top 725 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: of my sock. I found that if I put them underneath, 726 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: it kind of affects the way that my foot grips 727 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: the boot and the foot soul and it rubs weird. 728 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: So I just stick it on the top of my sock, 729 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: stick my boot foot in my boot. And their money, 730 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,439 Speaker 1: especially if you're sitting, but even when walking might be 731 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: hot for a lot of people. But I rather enjoy it. 732 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: Joe asked, do you like mince and cheese pies in 733 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: New Zealand? Absolutely? Miss and cheese is really good. Pepper 734 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: steak is my favorite. That's um if I got the 735 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: option pepper steak it is. Mark asks do you use 736 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: chapstick yet? The answer is no, never. Chapstick makes your 737 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: lips dry, and it's just one of those things I 738 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 1: just don't use. I just can't bring myself to using 739 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: chapstick personal preference. But hey, there's everybody's got that thing 740 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: that they think that's not for me, and chapstick is 741 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: one of them. I won't use it ever. Question comes 742 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: from Mitch. He says, do you drink lyon read or spits? Uh? 743 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: Spates all the way? I like that space if you 744 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: don't know what that is. South Island and New Zealand 745 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: has some pretty good after hunt beers. The last question 746 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: comes from Eric. He says, when deer's moving slowly in 747 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: your shooting lane, when do you employ that sound to 748 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: try to stop them? What triggers the decision? I've been 749 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: too fearful of spooking them, and I've missed two shots 750 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: on deer that don't stop moving. That's a really good question. 751 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean I I when I spook something even I 752 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: make that sound. Um, But on something that's moving and 753 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: I needed to stop, there's a few things that I 754 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: always try to do. First, you need if you're bow hunting, 755 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: you need to be ready in at full draw, especially 756 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: if it's cloths. I generally don't like make that noise 757 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: and then draw back. I want to be drawn ready, 758 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: and then I try to anticipate the stops. So it's like, 759 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 1: think about it depends on how far they are when 760 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: I make that sound. Like if it's an elk, let's 761 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: say it's an elk across the canyon, I'll use a 762 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: cow call to stop him. But if they're like behind 763 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: a tree and they're walking, I generally make that noise 764 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: right when they're behind the tree, so I can get 765 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,479 Speaker 1: generally one or two steps by the time that sound 766 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: hits them and they stop out in the open um. 767 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: When it's a deer, whatever, kind of the same strategy. 768 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: If they're super close, though, they might stop right away. 769 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: So is it just is that front shoulder kind of 770 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 1: comes out into the open where it's like, okay, if 771 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: he stopped right there, I'd still have a shot. Um. 772 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: But if he takes one or two more steps, then 773 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: I still have a shot as well. So I like 774 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: to kind of anticipate they need time to hear it 775 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: and then stop. The further they are, the longer the 776 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 1: sound takes to travel to get there. So if it's 777 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: like an elk, I've a time where it's like they're 778 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: behind something, they're moving, and they're gonna move to the open. 779 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: I actually call when they're behind something, so by the 780 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: time the sound gets there, like it's a rifle shot 781 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: or something three yards away, because how the sound gets 782 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: there that they'll take those extra couple of steps and stop. 783 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: Maybe they stop behind something that you've got to do 784 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: it again. If it's something close I bow hunting, and 785 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, here's a shooting lane. I've got it. 786 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: It's twenty yards. I draw back when they're behind something, 787 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: and then generally as it's like, I try to be 788 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: settled if I can, and maybe there's only one opportunity, 789 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: I try to stop them, you know, like when they're 790 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: in that open, but I try to get it just 791 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: as they're in the open where their head or something 792 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: might be obstructed by something else. So it's like and 793 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: they look but they can't see me. If they're close 794 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, vitals are there, Boom, release the arrow, 795 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: and happy hunter at the end of the trail. So 796 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: that's what I look for. It's just the timing thing 797 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: based on how far they are. But I try to 798 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: get them to stop when they're in the open, especially 799 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: distance rifle shot. Now if it's close, you know, try 800 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: to get them to stop in the open, but maybe 801 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: where they can maybe they're they've got something that blocks 802 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: their head if possible. I mean, that's the perfect scenario. 803 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just gotta do it. Like you come up over, 804 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: they bounce out, say it's mule de or something, come 805 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: up over the ridge. You spook them. Maybe they'd heard 806 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: you or maybe saw a little bit, but don't know 807 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: why they're spooked.
