11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: one of the ogs of outdoor television, shooting Big Bucks

12
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: on film. Man, you're raggling, Yeah, Roger ragling outdoors. He

13
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: was doing it way back. You know, it's easy to

14
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: be critical of some of the things that happened in

15
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: early outdoor TV, but you got to realize that those

16
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: guys are pioneers doing something no one had ever done.

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: Before, creating a dust ball.

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: It's western expansive, way faster than I am right now,

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: but I'm kind of moving the speed of the deer

20
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: right now, just moving kind of slow, you know what

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: I mean. I think people across the country are either

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: real hype because deer seasons just getting going, or real

23
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: sad because it's over.

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: It depends on where you're at.

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: It's weird, how like, you know, everybody up north kind

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: of gets all hype about this early season white Tail

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: and then you know.

28
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: Remember you're talking to Mark's fan base. Listen, I can

29
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: speak that language. My mom's from Minnesota.

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: But you know, around December tenth, that's all like, oh,

31
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: it's over, you know whereas Like, dude, I mean, even

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: in our backyards here in Texas, December we're in pretty

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: far in North Texas, December tenth is still a good date,

34
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: you know. And well we're looking at December today is

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: this will come out Christmas Day, Okay? And you can actually,

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: even in North Texas have good hunts at this point

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: in the year if you've got good food or you

38
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: know where betting is. And we're gonna talk to some

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: different people around the country, a lot of more southern

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: latitudes this week, but I thought it might be a

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: good time because this is the last episode of Retfresh

42
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: for the year, guys, to kind of reflect on some

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: of the good interviews that we've had this year. I

44
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: do believe we had our first perfect ten this year. Really, yes,

45
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: we did. Someone I can't, I can't was it Alex

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Comstock that called up perfectly? Was like Parker or something.

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Might have been Parker. I don't know. Parker killed a

48
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: big o' deer.

49
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: There is a trend on Retfresh, okay, And I think

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: that this is a good trend that a lot of

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: people do a Refresh interview and then kill deer the

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: next day.

53
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Michael Huncker did it. Mike Hunsucker, Alex Comstock did it,

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: Parker did it?

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: Who else? Someone? Charry Larson does it every year Cheryl Larson. Yeah,

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: that's right.

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you want to kill a deer, just

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: try to get on a re Fresh interview.

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Then there haven't been a few messages trying to get

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: on who's our friend from Minnesota?

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: That other guy he killed right away? Yeah, yeah, he

63
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: killed right away too. So like it's a thing. And

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: I've found that, you know, people actually enjoy the information

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: they get from Refresh, and that's not because of us.

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm a terrible interviewer, I think sometimes because I just

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: asked the old mornings or evenings, you know. But you know,

68
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: a lot of times it's pretty cool to actually talk

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: to the boots on the ground folks. And you know,

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: because I don't know what's going on in Maryland, you'll

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: want to listen to me, but you do want to

72
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: listen to Grant Forniy or whoever it may be up

73
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: there hunting.

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: That's uh, you know, knows what's going on in the

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: woods for sure. Sure, man. Yeah, No, it's been fun.

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: It's been it's been good. You know. I I I

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: think I get a little bit maybe I don't know,

78
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: jaded or whatever, a little underappreciative of the information that

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: I get from this podcast, being so tightly connected to

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: it that I don't sometimes see how much that information

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: helps me on a week to week basis when I'm hunting. So, uh,

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: it's good to kind of know that and talk to

83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: people and get a get a good you know idea. Uh.

84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: You know, for instance, one thing you said at one

85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: point was when you killed in Nebraska, you did a

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: light rattling sequence once you hadn't really been doing and

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: you talked to Mike Huntsucker about it, and he said

88
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: he had done that Colorado, that week, So you try

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: it and it actually works, you know, stuff like that,

90
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: you're like doing the thing that Mike talked about. Yeah,

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: it's pretty cool for sure. It's uh, that's the thing,

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: man is It's like, it's not you. It's not like

93
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: you haven't heard that before or heard somebody talk about

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: doing that before. It's just how how event and how

95
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 3: like how you know recent have you heard that information?

96
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: You know?

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: And that's why this is good because whether you're hearing

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: the same things or not week to week or even

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, things that you've heard before. When you hear

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: that that week and then go out in the woods

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: and maybe try that and be like, oh, yeah, that

102
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: was the thing I used to do two years ago. Whatever,

103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: you try that thing again. It works. It's like, man,

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: that was worth listening to. So I find it valuable

105
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 3: in that way.

106
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, man, I mean it's it's it's cool, and

107
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: there's there's some value to having things top of mind,

108
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: you know, like you might know something, but being reminded

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: of it it is worth a whole lot too. You

110
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: know that we as humans tend to have a problem

111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: with pride, and one of the pride things is that

112
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: we think that we know all the right answers, and

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: if you can just tell yourself, hey, you know, maybe

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 2: I should listen to someone else and take their advice

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: because they kill big deer too.

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: Works out pretty well. Yeah, we also have a problem

117
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: with top of mind stuff right now in our culture,

118
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: just because of the smartphone. In my opinion, you know,

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: it's like this is a thing that as soon as

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: soon as your mind is at the least but not

121
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: just fully entertained or you know, busy, it's like, let

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: me grab my phone and look at the phone, and

123
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: then there's not a whole lot of top of mind

124
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: going on except for what you're being fed. So it's

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: potentially good to sit there and listen to stuff, think

126
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: about stuff, and have some things like rattling lightly be

127
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: top of mind critical thought. Man, it's important thing I

128
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: know how to do.

129
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: Guys, I would be remiss if I didn't say something

130
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: about it being Christmas time. I mean, Christmas is awesome

131
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: for a lot of different reasons. If you believe that

132
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: Jesus came to earth. I mean, it's a great time

133
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: to celebrate that, it's a great time to be with family,

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: and it's a great time to absolutely reflect on all

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: the blessings that we have here as just you know,

136
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: inhabitants of this world and to be able to chase

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: these creatures around. And it's a lot, a lot of fun.

138
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: And there are some guys that are out still hunting.

139
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: We got some dudes to talk to you this week

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: about some hunting around I would say the South, the

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: semi South. We got actually some pretty good reports, right, Tyler,

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: who are we talking to?

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: We got a couple of good reports, a couple of

144
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: bad reports, you know, or the reports weren't bad, it

145
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: was just the numbers that year.

146
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: Well, you know, honestly, it's important to be realistic, Yeah,

147
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: one hundred percent.

148
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: That's part of the whole deal, right, that's knowing what

149
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: to expect, when to take some time off, when to

150
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: you know, spend time away from family or job or whatever.

151
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: So this week, you know, we had our friends Scott Harness,

152
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: which plug he's he's on this episode, but he's also

153
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: on the Element podcast this week. So I think you know,

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: what I talked to Scott about on the Element podcast

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: this week was a lot of stuff about being a

156
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: good kind of being a good hunting partner or hunting

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: buddy or whatever. And then also we talked a lot

158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: about like what it's like to hunting Arkansas and what

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: kind of tactics work. And I think that can and

160
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: that can expand to you know, East Texas and Louisiana,

161
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: Mississippi and Alabama and Tennessee and some of that stuff,

162
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: because you've got kind of that south thing there, you know,

163
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: that kind of a south or southeast thing there. So anyway,

164
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: that was our podcast this week on the Element podcast.

165
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: Feel free to go over there here and just a

166
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: little bit probably plug it again at the end, but

167
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: I talked to him and or we talked to him

168
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: this this week. We also talked to our buddy Rob Mendoza.

169
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: He's been in Missouri. I think he had a pretty

170
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: much resident there nowadays because of how big of the

171
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 3: deer he's chasing and what he's been after all year.

172
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: Rob's got a great report for us. Our own guys

173
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: helped us out this week as well. Greg Latham, who

174
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 3: is just a connoisseur of Texas deer hunting. I mean,

175
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: he is just all about it, everything about Texas. You know.

176
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: Greg likes he likes him some SpaceX, he likes him

177
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: some hill country deer hunting. He likes axis deer. In fact,

178
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: he shot it access tore and so Greg has given

179
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: us a report here in Texas, and I think there's

180
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: not hardly a more worthy guy to do that. And

181
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: then Casey Knight, who we call Cuppy Cup or Cupcake,

182
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: he's on his way to Kentucky right now and has

183
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: been there his whole life learning about the Kentucky Way.

184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get that report from him as well. Awesome,

185
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: let's get him on the phone. Now.

186
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: I've got my brother, Scott Harness. He's hunting Arkansas. Actually

187
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: he's in a grocery store hunting up some good old

188
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: Christmas food. But he's been out in the woods in Arkansas. Scott,

189
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: what's happening, man?

190
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: Man?

191
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 5: Just having a good time getting ready for Christmas. The

192
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: hours are, they're just melting away. It's almost time, I

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 5: guarantee you, dude.

194
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: Well, if a feller was still trying to fill an

195
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: Arkansas tag, is it a good time right now?

196
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: You know you're on the backside of it. I would

197
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: say this.

198
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 5: Just looking at my cameras and visiting with my friends,

199
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 5: I'm still seeing a few people killing some nice deer

200
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 5: and it some nice dear encounters, but it's it's not

201
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 5: like it was. There's a lot of nighttime movement and

202
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: they've moved back to food. The rut for the most

203
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 5: part of the state is over. Now there's some there's

204
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: some pockets where there will be some late rud activity,

205
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: and I know a lot of people that capitalize on

206
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 5: that and they swear by it. I have not had

207
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 5: success doing that, but I know if you can find

208
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: an acorn tree dropping, and a lot of times I

209
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 5: hear that if you'll have like a year ling or

210
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: something come in, or a dough that hadn't been bred.

211
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 5: A lot of times they're pretty dumb. And that big

212
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: old buckle just follow men late. He's not as he's

213
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: not as on his guard as what he is other

214
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: parts of the year.

215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: And they say they'll come in they make a kill.

216
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: I personally can't witness to that.

217
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: I would say, if you're going to kill a deer

218
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: in Arkansas right now, I would shoot whatever comes by,

219
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: because that's gonna be probably your best bet.

220
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: A lot of your brethren there in Arkansas they go

221
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 3: by the same thing. You know, to shoot whatever comes by.

222
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: But do you do you would you hunt? Betting or

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: food right now. If you had the options, well, I

224
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: would hunt food.

225
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 5: That's that's close to to to cover. If you want

226
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: to see a buck, I think you can probably get

227
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: a little a little bit away from the cover if

228
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 5: you're if you're you know, trying to just put some

229
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 5: meat in the freezer.

230
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: But if you're trying to see a buck, you gotta

231
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 3: you gotta go.

232
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: You're gonna to be close to where he's he feels secure.

233
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: And I move that far you think now.

234
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: They're not moving far and they're not moving hardly any

235
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 5: during the daylight. It's that that that testosterone is already

236
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 5: diminished and they're they're back to their weary you know selves.

237
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: And so unless there's a but here's the thing, you

238
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: know as well as I do, there's that there's that

239
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 5: group of doughs didn't get bread. They'll come back in

240
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: and and if you find that, absolutely you might have

241
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: a big buck, just one around right in the middle

242
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 5: of the day.

243
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 3: But it's just not like it was. Does the type

244
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: of cover matter, like any particular vegetation or or you

245
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: just think anything thick? I think anything thick.

246
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 5: I think you know if you're if you're in a

247
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: like a thick grassy field. A lot of times this

248
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: time of year, that stuff's laid down. So it might

249
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: been thick early, but it's not thick now. So you

250
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 5: need to find something that's got some you know, high

251
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 5: stem count. But it's got to be it's got to

252
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 5: be robust because we've had some decent weather and some

253
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 5: of that places that used to be thick, the grass

254
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: is laid down and it's not near stick. They like

255
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 5: it thick, thick, I'm talking thick.

256
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

257
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: So Arkansas is a state you can put corn on

258
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: the ground, and I know a lot of people do it,

259
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: and I ain't above it either, you know, especially if

260
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: you're trying to fill a late season tag. It's a

261
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: great way to do it. Do you have any tips

262
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: for hunting around bait in the late season.

263
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's absolutely effective, really really effective. And I do

264
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: it as well on some private land. I have a

265
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 5: couple of pieces that I did on and if I

266
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: was gonna do corn, the one thing that I don't

267
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 5: see happening, and I'm not seeing it never happens in

268
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 5: another somebody gonna say, well, I see it all the time,

269
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 5: like feeders or mechanical devices. I just find that that

270
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: bucks with any age on them at all, they just

271
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: don't go around them.

272
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: You're better off putting it on the ground.

273
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 5: Back to that is is that it doesn't last long

274
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 5: when you take all the raccoons and everything else. You know,

275
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: you gotta be you gotta lay it on the ground,

276
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: and you gotta be ready to hunt it, you know,

277
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: pretty quick, or it's gonna be it's gonna be eating up.

278
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: But I find much better success killing a buck with

279
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 5: any age class late season by putting it on the

280
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 5: ground and not not depending on some type of mechanical feeder.

281
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

282
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: Cool, all right, So with all that in mind, and

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: you know the discrepency and rup dates and all that,

284
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: but it being pretty late. If you had to give

285
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: buck movement daylight buck movement a scale of one to

286
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: ten rating in the state of Arkansas, what are you gonna.

287
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: Give it over the next week?

288
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 5: Man, I'm gonna I hate to be Debbie of the Downer,

289
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna say five.

290
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: Hey, I mean that's bad. That's bad. I ain't this

291
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 3: neither down or up. Honestly, it's right.

292
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: In the middle, you know.

293
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: So that's pretty good. Yeah, I appreciate the report. Scott

294
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: and appreciate you so much.

295
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: Brother. Merry Christmas. Yeah, absolutely, Merry Christmas.

296
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: On the phone, I've got my buddy Rob Mendos with tether.

297
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: He is down hunting in Missouri and he's just giving

298
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: us a hard time. Honestly, he's just being a goofball. So, dude,

299
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: what's happening?

300
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 6: Not much, guys, how are you? How you been?

301
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: Good man?

302
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas.

303
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 6: Merry Christmas to you too and everybody out there listening.

304
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: Thanks, dude.

305
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: I think it's cool that, like you're figuring out how

306
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: to hunt on Christmas Eve.

307
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you just have to have a family with a

308
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: farm and then get your your father in law down there,

309
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 6: and it's like you're still with family, but you're kind

310
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 6: of not.

311
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, easy enough.

312
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah it works, man, that's cool. So you've been doing

313
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: some hunting in Missouri. What are you doing right now?

314
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: Man?

315
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 6: They're moving, they're moving in the daylight. Mark, I get

316
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 6: a lot of activity the first two hours of daylight, obviously,

317
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 6: and then last night I had five bucks within thirty

318
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 6: yards or three of them at the same time, and

319
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 6: all of them within an hour of each other, about

320
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 6: an hour left the daylight, and they were crushing the

321
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 6: some acorns?

322
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: Really? What are those? Oh? Yeah, I got you? Okay,

323
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: I got you.

324
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 6: Now I forgot my dialog.

325
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah you're in the South, now, bro, you gotta say

326
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: it right when you're Missouri. I don't know about that.

327
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, he's in South Missouri. Yeah, uh spit. But I

328
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: kind of to actually play off of that a little bit.

329
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: What kind of acorns are those that that the deer's

330
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: still eating?

331
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: These are actually where I was? Are the runnants of

332
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 6: the white oaks?

333
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: Really?

334
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 6: Yeah?

335
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: How about that?

336
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 6: Was there a big surprise that I replaced some camera batteries,

337
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 6: not really expecting much out of this one particular camera.

338
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 6: But this ridge system is just getting hammered, it's getting

339
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 6: lit up.

340
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: Was it was there a big drop? I mean, was

341
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: there a ton of acorns that dropped earlier this fall?

342
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: Or was it just not a normal thing and they just,

343
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: you know, they're they were especially heavy? Yeah?

344
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, yeah, probably i'd be looking for the was red,

345
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 6: you know. But yeah, they seem to have enough left

346
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 6: over that they're hitting them or at least scavenging them.

347
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: Do you is there any sort of retin action that

348
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: you can see or have seen on camera?

349
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 6: I had two little bucks just messing around a lot

350
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 6: of active scrapes, and I thought that it was probably

351
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: just the dose, but the camera's told me otherwise, and

352
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 6: watching him make a scrape yesterday, but it was probably,

353
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: you know, a two and a half year old deer

354
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: doing it. Let me two and a half year old

355
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: deer battling each other for a minute.

356
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this the So I've seen late

357
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: season scrapes where deer don't even scrape the ground, but

358
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: they'll use the licking branch. Still, did you actually see

359
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: this deer scrape the ground with his hoofs?

360
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: So the mega that I'm after it did was doing

361
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: what you were talking about, just hitting the licking branch.

362
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 6: The two and a half year old yesterday was digging

363
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 6: in the scrape.

364
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Gotcha.

365
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: So what kind of inferences are you making off of

366
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: that show camera data? Are you just trying to inventory

367
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: and see where that big Bucky is or are you

368
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: kind of using that to backtrack him to betting?

369
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 6: Now I'm trying to backtrack him to betting so that

370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 6: I can figure out where he's coming from, where he's

371
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 6: going to. I thought last night was definitely one of

372
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 6: my more high probability just based on what he was

373
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 6: doing leaving the property the night before the wind and

374
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 6: then his routine.

375
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: Of coming back on the property. So he just didn't

376
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: read the script. Are you are you? Do you have

377
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: any agg around or is it pretty much just fully

378
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: reliant on white oaks? No, there's not.

379
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 6: I don't think, Well, your neighbors aren't farming anything right now.

380
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 6: I don't think there's much eg around here. There's a

381
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 6: couple little food plots in a neighboring property.

382
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: So would you if you had food plots you think

383
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: that'd be more effective than acorns right now?

384
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like that might give some give a

385
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: man an advantage.

386
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: Really, So if you were if you had that on

387
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: on a on the uh neighbor's property, you would you

388
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: would be hunting deer that were moving to that as

389
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: opposed to finding places that there's still white oak a

390
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: white oak acorns on the ground.

391
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 6: If I wanted to kill any buck, I'd probably be

392
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 6: hunting over a food plot. If I wanted to kill

393
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: a smart, mature animal who's been a hunted hard all

394
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 6: season by all my neighboring properties, I'd probably be on

395
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 6: on acorns.

396
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: M Yeah, would you would you prefer to shoot this

397
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: deer this year or have a chance out of next year?

398
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm letting that God decide that one.

399
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: There you go, gotcha, gotcha? Very cool to you. Well,

400
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: it sounds like you're on the deer. Uh.

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: And it's you know, honestly a pretty uh. I don't know,

402
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 2: just optimistic outlook on things. So I'm ready to hear

403
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: what your number is on a scale of one to

404
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: ten for buck movement in Missouri?

405
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: What are you going to give it over the next

406
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: week based off the.

407
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 6: Past three days of having my cameras alive again, I'm

408
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: gonna put it out a nine.

409
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: Whoa, that is way up there.

410
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a nine for everybody? Then, thank you Jesus.

411
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 7: There you go, dude.

412
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

413
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: Well, hey, y'all go have a merry Christmas, have some

414
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: phone family, and I appreciate the report.

415
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: Dude, Hey, take care of guys.

416
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 7: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year everybody.

417
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: My good friend and guy who films me a lot,

418
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: Greg Latham has been hunting in Texas, hunting like a maniac.

419
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: Actually, Greg, what's happening, bro? Uh?

420
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 8: No much, just trying to get a deer killed before

421
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 8: the end of the Texas season.

422
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: Hey, I have a question for you. Is this the

423
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: latest that you haven't filled a Texas tag ever?

424
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: Uh?

425
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 8: Well, the first deer I ever killed, I kill him

426
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 8: December twenty sixth.

427
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: Gotcha, you possibly will be.

428
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: You got a few days. You might kill a deer tonight.

429
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 2: So that's uh, that's kind of cool. But the wind cooperates, yeah, ooh, yeah,

430
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: that's a whole nother thing right at the weather. So

431
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: let's talk about that in in in Texas right now?

432
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: Whatater deer doing?

433
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 8: Uh in Texas right now? The deer we're going everywhere

434
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 8: this past week, but uh, the weather's not really cooperating

435
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 8: neither cold front for deer to get really going. But

436
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 8: it's a it's been pretty good.

437
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

438
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: So do you have cameras that are looking pretty good

439
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: and you still have some pretty good suspects on the ground.

440
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

441
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 8: I do have a giant buck I'm after right now,

442
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 8: and he's been daylighting almost every day. Kind of it

443
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 8: doesn't even matter what the weather is, but he's been

444
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 8: showing up.

445
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 2: Gotcha. That's cool. So what's it take weather wise? Are

446
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: you trying to find a cold front? Are you trying

447
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 2: to find just the right wind, or like, what's the deal?

448
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: Why is he so hard to kill?

449
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 8: Well, I've been waiting for a cold morning to like

450
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 8: a frost, but I don't know if we're gonna get it.

451
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 8: But I think I'm gonna get some lower forties here

452
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 8: that next week, and I think that's when I'm gonna

453
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 8: go in and try to kill him.

454
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: Why do you need colder weather.

455
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 8: Well, he seems to daylight mostly on the coldest day.

456
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: He for sure daylight's on the coldest day.

457
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 8: So if I can get that weather front, I'm probably

458
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 8: gonna go in and try to kill him.

459
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 3: So when he daylights on days that aren't cold, you're

460
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: afraid that it's too aggressive and you might spook him,

461
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: like once he gets in there, or what he's coming

462
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: in or after you know it's dark and you leave

463
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: or what.

464
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, if I go in there, I want to kill him.

465
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 8: I don't want to mess around. Like sometimes on hotter

466
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 8: days he's gonna show up, you know, the last few

467
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 8: minutes of daylight. But on the cold, colder weather day,

468
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 8: he usually shows up with good daylight.

469
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: Got you so can you still in Texas? You know

470
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: kind of use rut top tactics. So you're gonna be

471
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: able to rake trees or rattle or whatever to kill deer.

472
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 8: Right now in this particular part of Texas, I don't

473
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 8: think so. But there are other parts of Texas it's

474
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 8: like it's going down right now.

475
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: Got But how would you determine if that's if you

476
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: are in the zone on that, I.

477
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 8: Mean judgment from trail camera data. I mean, you can

478
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 8: kind of tell if the deer fired up or not.

479
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 8: But I just know from history that this particular part

480
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 8: of Texas is not the it's not going down right now,

481
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 8: but there's still a little bit of red activity, but

482
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 8: it's not as far as up fired up as they

483
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 8: were like a month ago.

484
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: So are there any Are there any food sources outside

485
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: of corn that you you could focus on if you

486
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: were in that part of Texas that had a little

487
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: less red action going on.

488
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, if you had wheat or oats planted,

489
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 8: it would be it would be on. Like you're you're

490
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 8: seeing a ton of deer and I'm kind of worried

491
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 8: that my neighbors down the road have oats planted, and

492
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 8: I'm worried that this buck might end up down there.

493
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: So would you if you had, say you had a

494
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: food planted like that, or or you had a wheat

495
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: field planted on the neighbors next to you, would you

496
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: hunt closer to the betting or closer to the food

497
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: if you had an idea where the betting.

498
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 8: Was, I would hunt closer to the food. Right now,

499
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 8: deer seemed to be hammering food. We've had a couple

500
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 8: of frosts and it seems like everything's dead. So they're

501
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 8: hammering food right now.

502
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Gotcha?

503
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: Is there any way that you could hunt a deer

504
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: on a morning right now or is it just too risky?

505
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 8: It's possible, but it's just it's just hard to know

506
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 8: where they're coming from. In the evenings, it's like you

507
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 8: kind of identify where the betting is and slip in

508
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 8: and like get between them and the food, and it's

509
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 8: not that hard. But in the in the mornings, you

510
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 8: don't know where they're at, and they could be out

511
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 8: cruising around and.

512
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: Giving the left.

513
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 8: I think, yeah, give me this.

514
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: So in the next week, if you had to put

515
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: a number on buck movement in the daytime on a

516
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: scale of one to ten, what are you gonna give it? Uh?

517
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 8: Where I'm hunting right now, it's gonna be about a six.

518
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: Gotcha? What about it? What about elsewhere where? You say

519
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: it's going on.

520
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 8: Elsewhere, there's place in Texas that's going down. I'd say

521
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 8: the next week is an eight or nine.

522
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: All right, good numbers out there, sir Well. I have

523
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: full confidence that you're gonna get it done this week.

524
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: Man. Uh, Merry Christmas to kill a big buck. Yeah,

525
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. This is the Element's own Casey Night.

526
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: He is currently in root to the second greatest state

527
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: in the country, Kentucky, to get you know, some of

528
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: that home cooking, but also to do a little deer hunt.

529
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: Right You've been kind of conversing with friends and family

530
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: and and looking at Chuck Hard and pictures and stuff.

531
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: Man, what's going on in Kentucky right now?

532
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 9: Casey Well, I think you know the party's pretty much over.

533
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 9: You know, it's I think it's time to just start

534
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 9: going back to hunting.

535
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 4: Bed to food.

536
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 9: You might have a little bit of rud action if

537
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 9: you have a hot dough in the area for some

538
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 9: stupid reason, but other than that, you know two words

539
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 9: corn pile. That's probably what what if you have that option,

540
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 9: you need to be focusing on because some some kind

541
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 9: as you can't bait anymore. So, but if you have

542
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 9: that option to hunt over you know, a bait pile

543
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 9: or just a good food source in general, I'd say

544
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 9: that's probably your best bed.

545
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: Corn pile is one word Eese Texas In case you're wondering,

546
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: So what if you don't have that option? Is there

547
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: like cut agfields or something that deer using, you know.

548
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 9: I'd say yeah, probably if I mean, you know, if

549
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 9: you have you know, act like a cut cornfield or

550
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 9: something that you know, some corns left over from the harvest.

551
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: I've seen them, like on my lease.

552
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 9: That happens quite a bit when there's corn, you know,

553
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 9: the farmer hill cut and then there's quite a bit

554
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 9: of corn just scattered on the ground and I'll see

555
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 9: him beating on it up until like late January or

556
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 9: whenever the seasons, I guess.

557
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: So, do you think that you could hunt mornings still

558
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: or is it pretty much gonna be evenings only at

559
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: this point in time?

560
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: I mean historically when I hunt this time of yere,

561
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 4: I'm seeing most of the action in the evenings for sure.

562
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 3: What's the what's the weather looking like in the next week,

563
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: Are we gonna get any cold weather?

564
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 9: From what I saw, I don't think it's going to

565
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 9: be super cold. I think I mean most of the

566
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 9: days are going to be in the forties or fifties,

567
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 9: which I feel like is a little bit warm for

568
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 9: this time of year. Usually usually I think by this

569
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 9: time we're seeing like thirties. I mean, sometimes we'll get

570
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 9: in the twenties. But I think it's gonna be pretty

571
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 9: warm in this next coming week.

572
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, for those northern latitudes. So you expect that deer

573
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 3: movement is going to be late in the evening or

574
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 3: is that going to depend on any other variables.

575
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: I would expect late in the evening.

576
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 9: I know last year I was on quite a bit

577
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 9: in like late December early January, and I wasn't really

578
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 9: seeing much until the last I mean the last hour

579
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 9: a lot pretty much.

580
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: So that that would mean that if you had a

581
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: bunch of holiday stuff going on, but you're only able

582
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: to get out for the last hour or so, that

583
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: it would still be worth going out. Probably.

584
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd say if you've got a buck on camera

585
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 9: that you know is hitting food consistently and you kind

586
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 9: of know what he's doing, I'd say it's definitely still

587
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 9: worth getting.

588
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: Out there, gotcha. Gotcha.

589
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So are you going to spend much time glassing

590
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: and observing or since you have kind of like a

591
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: short amount of time here, you're just going to hop

592
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: in in a place that's historically good.

593
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 9: Probably, I'm just gonna hop in a place that I

594
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 9: know I've seen him use in the past. That's probably.

595
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 9: I think that's going to be my best option at

596
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 9: this point.

597
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha. Do you have decent targets that are still

598
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 2: showing up on uh camera? I know, you know, we

599
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: kind of talked like Kentucky doesn't have a lot of

600
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: a gun season, but you said their gun season is

601
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: in the heart of the rut, So I would imagine

602
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: that kind of puts an impact on how many are

603
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: still around.

604
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely noticeable.

605
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 9: Uh you know, you have all these deer on camera

606
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 9: before gun season, then once getting season, it's all disappear

607
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 9: because they're probably all there.

608
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't I have a like maybe two.

609
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 9: On camera that I might shoot, but the pretty time,

610
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 9: I pretty love steam.

611
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: So are they going to be would you be closer

612
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: to betting or would you be closer to food in

613
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: this situation, Well.

614
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 9: I probably I like being close to bedding because you

615
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 9: have a better chance of seeing him earlier on in

616
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 9: the evening if you're closer to bedding, catching them going

617
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 9: from the bed to food.

618
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 4: So I like to be closer to bed.

619
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: Gotcha, gotcha, we know that. Yeah, we know you like sleep.

620
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: All right, guys, I'm gonna use his nickname because that's

621
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: how we actually know him. And this is Cupcake, Cuppy

622
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: or cup and so cup. If you had to rank

623
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: buck movement daylight buck movement on a scale of one

624
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: to ten in the state of Kentucky over the next week,

625
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:49,960

626

627
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 9: There's still a chance you might catch a little bit

628
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 9: of ruddy Buck, but I think chances are pretty slim.

629
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate the honest number three is a very

630
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 2: realistic number I would imagine.

631
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: So a way to go, dude.

632
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,360

Speaker 2: retfresh of the season. There's still a lot of optimism

639

00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 3: lonely this time of year, So make sure that you

656
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800

657
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: not have a whole lot of family goings on. Might

658
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,320
