<v Speaker 4>like that.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Time of year, like when the deer going to ret

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 5>like Moe kind of shows up.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, shows up the render. Yeah, yeah, you've.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Got him pattern And then all of a sudden.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, his home range gets a lot of range expands

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 6>and I show up places I've never hardy ever show up.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yeah that's right. Okay, so I was I've been

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>talking with the honest tell us. And he has told

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>me that I need to be talking about my book more.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, and I'm like, every time he says it,

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I say, Jannis, the book doesn't even come out until

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty seven. You know what year it does is

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. And he says, doesn't matter. He says,

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 2>talk about it every time you open your mouth between

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>now and then. So I'm I'm taking Janice's Joannice's advice.

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you see all these books right here from right

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>there all the way to way past mo there, Yes, sir,

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>basically those that's not limited to but every single one

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.799
<v Speaker 2>of those books is pretty much a reference inside of

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>the book that I'm writing. Incredible, wow, I mean there's

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of research the book currently.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>So when in the literary.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>World, what you do when you get a book contract

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>with a publishing house is that the publishing house immediately

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>puts out a news release that says, oh, this person

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>is writing a book with this title for us to

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of like stake out your territory in case anybody

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>else is thinking about it. At least they'll know that

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking about it too. And so like over two

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 2>years ago. This project, when it comes out in twenty

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven, well have been going on, I think for

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 2>three and a half years, so behind the scenes, behind

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 2>what you see when you watch the render, when you

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>hear Bear Grease, always write as the words that are

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>coming out of my mouth just right back here. Not

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>so much here or here, but right in here. The

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>book is throbbing and has been for years. But we're actually.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 5>There's a flow of literary, literary creativity right behind.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I hope that's what they call it.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 4>You know what you do? You have a title for it?

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, American Bear.

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 7>I feel like the longer it goes on, and especially

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 7>if you're talking about it for the next two years,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 7>you might consider a title change to bear with Me.

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that's good.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>That's good.

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 5>It feels like you've been sitting on that for a while.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 3>It just came to me that that's actually I'm gonna.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Go subtitle bear with Me. It's been a while.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 6>I believe me, Isaac. I've known him a lot longer

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 6>than you, and that's true.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, uh, the book is the the biography as never

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 2>before told. And I can say that with like great certainty,

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>like there's there's biologists that really know bears. There's anthropologists

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>that really know ancient peoples and hunting. There's American historians

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>that really know the deer skin trade, like Steve Vanella

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and Randall in the books that I've been a part

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>of with them. Even there are modern biologists that understand

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the bear human conflict that's going on in America right now.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Never before has all that been put together in just

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 2>like a truly wild story. And and and I'll be

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>done with the manuscript by February first, so I've got

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 2>three months.

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 1>And so just I mean, like right before we clicked

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>through this.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 4>Dar three books in three months.

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Well it's been a couple of years, and and we've

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>only got this far.

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it actually wasn't anybody's fault that the book,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the project was extended a year completely because of like

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>calendar details and publishing stuff yep, which I'm grateful for.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Actually today, I would be cool if they were like, hey,

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>we're going to put it off another year.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>You've got a whole another year. I mean, the book

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.679
<v Speaker 1>would be so much better.

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these people that are writing books like really fast,

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 2>so be honest, that was for you.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I hope you enjoyed that.

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And I told you, honest that, like what if I

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 2>tell everyone all that's in the.

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Book, And he said, you won't just talk about it.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>So so there we go.

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 5>But uh, Joanness Petelius has never steered anyone wrong never.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he ever has, yeah at all. Yeah, So, uh,

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:50.359
<v Speaker 2>it's it's dear week, Deer Central Week, I mean dear time,

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Buck time. It's uh it's November the sixth. As we

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>record this, this comes out later, but uh it is.

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>That's why mos here and uh bear bears.

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>In two days, he's gonna have his annual bar Newcomb

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>public Land deer camp.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh bear, beware of bear, be aware of the bear.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>How many people you got coming in for this deer camp? Uh,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of lost count.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 8>But I've got at least twenty five twenty five twenty

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 8>five hunters, Uh probably not probably like twenty hunters.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know everyone goes in.

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Pairs twenty only, Oh they go in pairs.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. Because yeah, I've got I've got about twenty really

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 8>good spots. So we're gonna do like a rotation.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 5>That's impressive that you've got twenty good spots in one location.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, let me tell you something. Let me tell you

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>some good spots.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>If you see bar Newcomb's Ford Ranger pull up in

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 2>your public land spot.

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Deer season, yeah, probably every thing is in trouble. I

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>mean everything.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 3>We're making a population level impact here.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>It's basically, we have deer.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 8>We have to be nomadic. We've had this camp for

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 8>four years and we go to a different spot.

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Ever, you're like, you're like an ancient sheep grazer that

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>just like demolishes the land, grazes it down and just

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>has moving. We we say that we can't complain about

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the hunting pressure because we are the.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>We got to make a strict.

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 4>With the bears Ford Ranger on it and a big spike.

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 6>He made me feel better while ago when he told

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 6>me where he was actually going this year, and it

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 6>was out of last year. He was in the middle

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 6>of some of my stomping grounds.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 4>But we didn't kill. We didn't kill down there. Yeah.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 6>I went down camp, took took a kid hunting or

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 6>a young guy with me and stuff.

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and you put my buddy Levi on a bear and.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 4>He killed the bear. I told him to go. Ye's correct.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 7>Pure I feel like you better trademark that before this

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 7>episode comes out, because you got that YouTube crew the

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 7>hunting public that's his next career's pressure.

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean we haven't even heard the best part

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>of it.

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>This is an international deer camp incredibly Yeah.

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there are.

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>People from from other countries here.

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 7>What are the logistics of getting somebody uh legal to hunt?

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>It's just not resident a resident.

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, But do they have to have like the hunter

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 7>safety or anything like that, or is there an apprentice

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 7>tag here in Arkansas that.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 8>If they're gonna hunt by themselves they have to have

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 8>hunter safety. But other than that, yes, the same rules

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 8>if the hunter safety or be with reach, yeah, of

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 8>someone twenty one or that. There's also like a hunter's head.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 8>What do you call it? It's like a like it's

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.839
<v Speaker 8>like a one year replacement for the hunter's head.

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 4>I forget what.

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like a it's like where you can say, hey,

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do this. Didn't get a chance to yep, yeah,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>but I promise I will.

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Essentially you get one year.

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So last year, how y'all in the whole camp we

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>saw one deer total wow, and killed the bear.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 4>But it was the cool I mean, it was one

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 4>of the coolest Bear.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 8>had in the wood.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Do we need to circle back to twenty good spots?

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay that the.

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Year before maybe you didn't have any good spots at all.

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 8>The year before we went to we went to my

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 8>stomping grounds where I've been hunting all year, and we

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 8>killed six right right. And the next year I was like,

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 8>and you know, like a bunch of them were like

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 8>spikes and stuff, and I was like, Man, if we

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 8>just keep going here, we're just there aren't going to

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 8>be any bucks left.

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 4>And so one.

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Day there'll be a genetic study of the white tailed

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 2>deer back you know, when Bear was a young man,

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and they'll be like, in the genetic record, they'll be like,

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>we're not sure what happened, but there was a population

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>level right around here in this five square mile area.

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 6>You know why y'all saw one deer last year? Was

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 6>that by what you just said. You said you decided

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 6>to move because you didn't want to find the deer

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 6>out over.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 4>There where you were.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 6>At any time you brag about what you're doing or

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 6>what you have done, let me tell you I've done

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 6>it myself over the years and it'll come back and

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 6>it okay.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So you think that he got a little overcomer.

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Confident and so it showed up.

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 8>Oh, it definitely did because we were like, surely there's

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 8>twenty ten dudes out there with guns and you know,

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 8>pinch points and stuff.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Ten or ten.

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and where you.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 6>All were at though, yeah, buck button, bucks, bikes and

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 6>we saw it didn't matter.

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 8>I think Seymour saw like the flash of one deer

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 8>and LEVI killed a bear.

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>So what are the all the names of some of

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>your members?

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 8>Seymore, Yeah, Seymour, Schucks, I can't think of any off

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 8>the bat, the Eagle, the uh less than the eagle,

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 8>mm hmm. That's all I can think of. It going

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 8>to be there, won't this year?

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Sea Bass has been at the camp before.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 6>What was a young man's name that I took? He's

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 6>from in this area, isn't he?

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>That was? That was Attacus?

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, and it was a kind of a weird name.

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 8>He killed a buck last week, a little buck over

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 8>here there. But yeah, we've got we've got a lot

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 8>of people coming in. We've got a giant wall tent

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 8>and a bunch of other tents that we're going to

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 8>set up tonight, and I'm I feel pretty good about it.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 4>This year.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 8>I think, well, you know, kind of back in my

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 8>home range, got a bunch of good spots, been seeing

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 8>a ton of deer and the rut has been picking

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 8>up like crazy over where I'm at, So I think

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 8>we're going to get into him.

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 3>The real question is do you have a buck pole

0:11:59.320 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 3>set up?

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd be careful about that.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 8>Oh wait a what But it's it's like the yeah,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 8>greatest expression of confidence that you're going to kill the deer.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to put.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 5>Up a buck So don't I see I'm loaning my

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 5>rifle to a young man from England.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah yeah, I got a couple of different countries represented

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 8>this year.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>M hm. Wow. Wow, we are the hunting pressure.

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 4>We are. That's just that's hashtag.

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's that's that's pretty man.

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what I I I commend you bear. That's

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.200

<v Speaker 1>That's cool.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Josh, you killed a deer this week with your bow.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 5>I did first bow and our first deer in years

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 5>with my bow.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you killed a buck last year with the gun,

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>but you.

0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 5>Killed killed good decent bucks the last two years with rifle. Yeah,

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:05.199
<v Speaker 5>this year, I went to scout in a spot and uh,

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 5>I got out there and I think I texted you

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 5>something about scouting and where I was looking because it

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 5>was a place we used to hunt years ago. And uh,

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 5>he said, don't scout hunt and I was like, I

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 5>had my tree stand with me and I had my.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Perfect day at Big Front.

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Had been like a three day It was back in

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the latter part of baut October, love of the mid

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to the kind of central part of the country, you

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>know in south this part got got it.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>But it it rained for three days.

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Yep, cleared out and it was cold, dropped twenty five degrees.

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 5>And uh it was it was kind of rainy, and

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 5>uh when I pulled in, I saw a buck, saw

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 5>an eight point grazing in this field, and so I thought,

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 5>I thought he didn't see me. So I tried to

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 5>sneak up on him, and when I got there, he

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 5>was he was gone. But I just decided, hey, I'm

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 5>gonna I'm gonna put my tree stand up. They didn't

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 5>seem spooked when I saw him, so I thought I'm

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.839
<v Speaker 5>just gonna put my tree stand up here on the

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 5>edge of this field. And got up there, and it

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 5>was a tree stand i'd never used before. I got

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 5>a hand me down, so I never used it, so

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 5>I didn't go super high, maybe sixteen feet and sat

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 5>there for about an hour and a half and a

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 5>little buck came walking underneath me and he stopped ten

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 5>yards in front of me, and he's quartering away real hard,

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 5>and when I shot him, he just bolted, and I

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 5>felt like I got a good shot on him, but

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 5>I watched him run maybe one hundred yards away before

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 5>I lost sight of him.

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 4>And I got down out.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 5>Of the tree pretty quick because my arrow was a

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 5>full pass through and I wanted to see if it,

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, had good blood on it, and it did

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 5>all the way down, and so I thought, well, he

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 5>probably just ran over there one hundred yards and died.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 5>So I gave him about forty five minutes probably, and

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 5>just started trailing him. And it was a really good

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 5>blood trail, I mean really good, but you know, it

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 5>was hard to miss kind of blood trail, and man,

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 5>I got down there. I got down out of the

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 5>tree about five fifteen and started looking for him. And

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 5>I looked and looked and looked and ran circled. My

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 5>on ex tracks are like, looks like I've just completely

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 5>covered the entire area.

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>His on ex app actually sent word back to the

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>headquarters to send help yea, because they were like tracker

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and they were like this this.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Was either lost or can't find these animal.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, my good buddy Brian Beauley came and he came out.

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 5>He drove an hour out to come help me look

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 5>for this deer. And we looked for him till ten

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 5>o'clock at night. And that was pretty discouraged because it

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 5>would be the first deer that I've shot and lost,

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 5>and I was pretty sick about it.

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 4>And I just just like, I'm going to.

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 5>Get back up at daylight and go back out. There

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 5>was fortunately it was in the low thirties, mid thirties.

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was getting cold.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 5>I knew it was going to be okay, the meat

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 5>was going to be okay. And I went back out

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 5>and just started scouring again, went down on these draws

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 5>and looked for him and man, nothing. I was about

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 5>to give up and I thought, I'm just going to

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 5>walk over in this area, which was actually kind of

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 5>back closer to my stand and lo and behold, I

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 5>crossed through an area where I hadn't been and he's

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 5>just laid out in the open there.

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And so now I, for some reason with Josh feel

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 2>like every time he has a hunting experience, I need

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I need to teach him something. Yes, yes, so Josh,

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>he's good at smiling and being like okay, Clay. But

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 2>he'd called me and he said the blood trail was

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 2>just like blazing hot yep. And then it just just vanished.

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Ye and uh, I told him, I said a lot

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 2>of times when that happens and you feel like the

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>blood's dried up. It didn't dry up. Just the deer

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>did something that you didn't expect him to me, I.

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 5>Can hear of the problem was is that it was sprinkling.

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 5>It was right, it was raining, for it was.

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Rain, and it was dark yep.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 2>And basically the deer circled back and went closer to

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 2>where and Josh said something that I hadn't thought about,

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>but it makes sense why you would think it is

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>that he just felt like the deer was going to

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 2>be running away from where it shot was shot, like

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 2>just and you watch you watch it run away from

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 2>where you shot. You just feel like it's just going

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to keep going that way forever until it dies. Well,

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 2>this deer, you know, busted out because the noise came

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>from behind it, and then but it had come from

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>behind you, and so it just basically made a big

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 2>loop and was trying to get back into where it was.

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.639
<v Speaker 1>And I tell you, I have found a lot.

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Of deer almost by just like pure instinct, just when

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 2>you tracked enough of them. Yeah, I mean, and hopefully,

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, most of the time you're you're hoping you

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>don't even have to deer falls within fifty six it's

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>not that big a deal. But we tracked the deer

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the other day in Georgia when I was with Ross Chastain.

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>He shot a deer with a rifle that couldn't find

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>any blood, and it was real thick, and we were

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 2>wandering around and basically I just started walking trails, deer

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.679
<v Speaker 2>trails just in the area, and I was just like,

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>eventually I'm going to see blood. Anyway, finally did just

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 2>like skipped from the last blood, which was basically where

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.360
<v Speaker 2>he shot the deer, to like sixty seventy five yards.

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I found a little.

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Bitty speck of blood on a deer trail. That was

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of a little different direction we thought. Anyway, you know,

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>you just kind of got a maybe not use your

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>just gotta think about what the animal is gonna do.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.120
<v Speaker 2>It's usually going to want to get back to where

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:53.360
<v Speaker 2>he came.

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I just I did not want to

0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 5>lose that deer, and I just t look and kept looking,

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 5>kept looking.

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Really glad I got.

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Them now, Mo, you hadn't got one yet.

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.360
<v Speaker 6>No, No, I've hunted several days. I hunted some during

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 6>the Muslim type season or alternative weapons whatever they call

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 6>it here in Arkansas now, and I bow.

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Hundred a few times.

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 6>I bear hunted a couple of days, uh during that,

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 6>once with my bow and then once with the with

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 6>alternative weapons.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 4>But seen a few dos.

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 6>Seen a couple of small, small bucks, but no nothing

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 6>as much size to anything. I've seen a lot of

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 6>sign where I've been, where I've set in some stands,

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 6>and I've done done this a little bit of slip

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 6>hunting in the rain when it was raining those days

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 6>a couple of weeks ago, when it was the end

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 6>of that that Muslead season. But like Barry said earlier,

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 6>they're making lots of sign right now there, or they

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 6>have been. They're probably doing more dole looking for right

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 6>now than they are making sign that they're gonna be

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 6>in those areas where that's at or where the dose

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 6>are bedding.

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.199
<v Speaker 1>So mm hmm, Bear, you had to call MO the

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 1>other day get some intel. Yeah, yeah, Well I was

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>after a big buck.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 8>Found a big rub line and there were fifteen scrapes

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 8>and a three hundred yard stretch like two miles from

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 8>the road down some real thick stuff, like right where

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 8>you would think a big buck would be. That's why

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 8>I was like the out, yeah, And I went in

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 8>there a ton of sign, sat it once had a

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 8>spike come like ten feet from me, but that was it.

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 8>And the next time I sat it at nine forty five,

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 8>I see back behind me, I see the buck and

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 8>he's he was a big, gnarly six point like crooked rack,

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 8>but an old buck, like a big just big ugly

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 8>six point. And I was hunting with a self bow

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 8>and a ground blind and he came like twenty two

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 8>yards from me trailing a dough goes into some brush.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.479
<v Speaker 8>The dough runs out like twenty yards from me. I

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 8>bump up, get within ten yards of her, and the

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 8>buck never comes. I think he winded me. It was

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.920
<v Speaker 8>kind of once the thermals, you know, weren't so dominant

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 8>and the wind kind of took over. Anyway, I was

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 8>kind of stumped at what to do, and so I

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 8>consulted Mow and basically he told me to find a

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 8>finger ridge just coming down into that. You know, it's

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.200
<v Speaker 8>it's way down in a valley on a creek bed,

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 8>and so well, as soon as the thermals aren't the dominant,

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 8>once the wind takes them over, then it's just swirling

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 8>in there. And there is there, does happen to be

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 8>a nice finger ridge coming down there?

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>That any signing there?

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 4>I haven't yet.

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 6>He hadn't been it yet, but I told him, I said,

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 6>I bet there's some rubs on that. He's probably bedding

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.120
<v Speaker 6>up higher because they like the bed higher. Yeah, he's

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 6>probably coming down to check for dose or checky scrape

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 6>for whatever and that.

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 4>So it kill several bucks out of way.

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 6>That's find most are signed down low, but kill them

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 6>way up above where they're making the side.

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So hmm, that's a hot tip hot tip hot.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 9>Tip tips and tactics OAAC what have you been doing.

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Working a lot?

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 1>What do you do for work?

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, I've been making videos and taking pictures.

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You were hunting with a first light guy.

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Yep up in Ohio.

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>What's his name, Kyle Forber.

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 7>He's the new Yep yep heck of a baseball player,

0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 7>I'm told.

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've watched him play ball.

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he's got a great property up there.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 3>And we did not do any good. Their rutt hadn't really.

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.640
<v Speaker 1>You were just hunting for like one day though.

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Two days.

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was pretty tight. Yeah, did have a fun experience.

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 7>Happened a new experience. We were hunting this big timber

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:48.120
<v Speaker 7>right off a food plot maybe two hundred yards, not

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 7>seeing anything, and this little button buck bolts straight into

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 7>the woods from the food plot at us, gets to

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 7>within twenty yards, hangs up, then comes right up, starts

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.720
<v Speaker 7>licking the ladder stand to the semmer on, makes two

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 7>full circles, comes back, licks the ladder stand again, and

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 7>then goes back to.

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 4>The food plot.

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, Wow, what do you make of it?

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Witchcraft?

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, absolutely, there was no reason for him to come

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 7>in there. I didn't see anything in the food plot

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 7>that chased him in there or anything. He just came

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 7>straight to us on a bee line.

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 2>He must have smelled you liked it. Yeah, any uh,

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 2>it's been a while since we've talked a lot.

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Any new tattoos, No new tattoos.

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 7>Oh, just all the same old standards. Yeah, I don't

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 7>I don't think there's much news fit to report. I've

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 7>been hunting a little, did it. Did a little guiding

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:46.200
<v Speaker 7>up in Wyoming for mule deer and antelope. Quite a

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 7>bit of fun.

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Yep, nice, that's cool.

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, successful hunt. Yeah, tagged out all my hunters so

0:23:54.760 --> 0:24:00.120
<v Speaker 7>easier than others. It is remarkable. I think it's sku

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.880
<v Speaker 7>and I think we're in a weird world. I think

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 7>there are a lot of people who like to hunt

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 7>that don't hunt or have as much experience hunting as us.

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.719
<v Speaker 7>But just some remarkable people, all of them great and friendly.

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 7>And I really enjoyed it.

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 4>The clients. Yeah.

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.639
<v Speaker 7>But I had a guy show up and say, I

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 7>got a new barrel put on my gun.

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 4>I haven't shot it yet.

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 1>What. Okay, we're going and we're going hunting this afternoon.

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, do you have something I can shoot at on

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 7>the property? And I was like, tell you what I'll

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 7>bring my gun and we'll start off with that. I

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.880
<v Speaker 7>know it's on it's on out to four hundred yards,

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 7>so and maybe if it gets slow midday, we can

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 7>shoot at something.

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 3>But I don't. We're shooting my gun. We're not shooting

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 3>your gun, like okay with that. Yeah, yeah, And he

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 3>shot a deer.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 4>He shot a good.

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Deer with your with your gun. Uh huh okay uh.

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 7>And it ended up being a layup shot at like

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 7>one hundred and forty yards. This, you know, one hundred

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 7>and sixty in four by four was vetted one hundred

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 7>and forty yards from the road and just looking out.

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.159
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I have two fans I work with that

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 4>had went.

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 6>They didn't go together, they went separate, but they went

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 6>to Wyoming meal deer hunting a couple of weeks ago

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 6>and they both tagged a meal deer one of them,

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 6>really nice of them, was just a smaller meal deer.

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 6>But they were both had good hunts. They saw several

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 6>several meal deer and said they had really a good time.

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, it's incredible up there.

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 4>It's funny hunting.

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 7>I've only ever hunted public land up there, and it

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 7>can be a little hard. A lot of it's land locked,

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:36.239
<v Speaker 7>and what's not is pretty overrun, right. Uh, and so

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm taking these guys hunting and putting them on deer

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 7>that are much bigger than I've ever shot. I have

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 7>never shot some yeah, yeah, yeah. So the way it

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 7>works in Wyoming is you have to be a licensed

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 7>guide working under a licensed and insured outfitter. And uh,

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 7>he had a couple of leases and stuff.

0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I entered. That's cool. That's cool. Well, dear Stories.

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>So my favorite episodes of the year are the bear

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Grease dear stories. I've been trying to figure out. We've

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 1>done this five years now, and every year we've had

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I think at least two Deer Stories episodes.

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Usually there's between five and seven stories on each episode.

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:26.199
<v Speaker 2>I would like to I wish somebody, not me or

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 2>not like a part of our group, could analyze these

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>stories to help me understand what kind of stories that

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:43.199
<v Speaker 2>we like to tell, because stay with me, there's a

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 2>million deer stories.

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, please bear with me, Dear with me, dear

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:50.919
<v Speaker 1>with me.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:56.359
<v Speaker 2>This little idea may come to fruition in twenty twenty seven,

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 2>after the book after, you know, because when I I

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:05.359
<v Speaker 2>find when I sit down with people, and Josh has

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 2>been helping me gather stories. I look at someone that

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I've come to them and maybe they don't know a thing.

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Many of the people that have been on some of

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>these episodes had never even heard of bear Grease or

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 2>podcasts at all. And so I'm like and they and

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 2>they go, well, I mean, I've been like deer hunting

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>my whole life, Like what kind of story do you want?

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And like what would I say to them? Because I'm

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily looking for a big buck story, but I

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>might be.

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, one of the.

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Best stories that that I personally have is the story

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 2>of my saga with moofs and and really it's a

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>it's a story of the patterns of a really big buck.

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a buck that my neighbor ended up killing, you know, yep.

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 2>And so like, I'm very interested in, like a great

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:57.360
<v Speaker 2>deer story that has some great deer behavior, something unique,

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 2>something that deer did that you you never would have

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 2>predicted that he would do.

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that's cool.

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 1>But then also the story of Gary Farmer on this episode,

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:13.719
<v Speaker 1>who the story wasn't even about deer hunting, it was

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>he was taken. They've done a deer drive. It was

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 1>taking a nap.

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.640
<v Speaker 2>His buddy pulls up on a mule and you know, says, hey,

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>hop on, let's see if she'll ride double.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the.

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Story wasn't even about deer hunting. And when he told

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 2>me that, I was like, that's a great story.

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 2>And I I anyway, any any thoughts on how you

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 2>would describe to someone, Like if you brought your best

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 2>friend that didn't know any of this and you said

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you got to tell Clay a story, what would you

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 2>say to him?

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 7>I think there's two types of stories that really do

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 7>it for me, and it's things that are humorous, not

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 7>necessarily side splitting, but like where you screw something up

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:56.719
<v Speaker 7>or something goes awry or whatever, like that mule story.

0:28:57.120 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 7>Or I think this oftentimes comes up more in the

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 7>turkey hunting stories, but still in deer stories that things

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 7>that are sentimental or things that carry weight for something

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 7>beyond just the hunt. And like I was just before

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 7>we started here, I was saying, like some of my

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 7>best deer and certainly my favorite stories happened like that.

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Like my favorite deer I ever shot.

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 7>It was one hundred and forty inch main frame eight

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 7>that had broken off both its g ones just rubbed

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 7>them slick, so it's really a six point technically, it

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 7>was illegal when I shot it because I was in

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 7>a county that had a four point on one side restriction.

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 7>And I remember like walking up to it all statue. Yeah,

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 7>I remember walking up to it and being like, well,

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 7>I was with my dad, I'll tell you that. But

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 7>I was like, Dad, this isn't legal, and he's like,

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 7>that's not what that rules about. This guy is clearly a.

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Very mature to say.

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but we were walking in We're walking this road

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 7>in right, and there's this bedding area right up next

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 7>to it, and you can't get through it without blowing

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 7>out these dear if you're walking in the middle of

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 7>the day, it's like they're bedded ten yards from this

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 7>little path through here.

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 3>And so we're walking up to it and fully expect

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 3>to blow out some deer.

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 7>Three or four dos come through, and there's this little

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 7>spike standing in the middle of the road, and I

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 7>have my camera on me walking with Dad, and I've

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 7>bend down on my knees and I'm getting a picture

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 7>because he's just standing there all pretty in the middle

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 7>of the road and I'm about to snap the picture

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 7>and Dad's like.

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Are you gonna shoot the deer?

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm thinking no, I'm not gonna shoot that deer. I

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 7>would never shoot that deer. And I'm like, no, what

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:45.719
<v Speaker 7>are you talking about? And he just reaches down and

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 7>grabs my head and turns it. And this guy is

0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 7>just standing there like the king of the forest, right

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.480
<v Speaker 7>next to the road, still in the bedding area.

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 4>He hasn't bowled out there yet, but he's.

0:30:55.120 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 7>Standing there like, uh, I've never encountered something I can't handle,

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 7>and you guys are no different. He's just proud and

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.239
<v Speaker 7>this is my spot, right And he just stood there

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 7>and I pulled up my gun and I shot him,

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 7>and that it had nothing to do with skill.

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I did everything wrong.

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 7>But that's the type of story that I'm like, that's

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 7>really special to me and I will always remember it.

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 7>Cool that it was a good deer, but just being

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 7>there with my dad and screwing things up and it

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 7>still worked out.

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm asking you that are you going to shoot that deer?

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 3>A ten inch spike?

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, like, okay, bear, what would you describe?

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 2>What kind of deer stories are we looking for because

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually gotta I actually gotta now do a little

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 2>cleanup work with thought. Isaac said, when I sit with somebody,

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I tell him I don't want it because your story

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>is not necessarily sentimental. I wouldn't call that sentimental. No,

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not disagreeing that. Yes, that's a great story to

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 2>find sentimental.

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, yeah, here's the other.

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Thing that happens when you sit down with people, I say,

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>tell me your best, dear story and they go, oh

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, you are not going to believe this story, Clay,

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>are we recording? And they go, man, my six year

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>old son it was his first time one hundred deer

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:18.479
<v Speaker 2>And they tell me about their six year old son

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>killing the.

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Deer, which, dude, I have four kids. I've spent I've

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>dedicated a lot of my life to getting them into

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the outdoors and it's incredibly gratifying. It doesn't make for

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that compelling of a story.

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 5>You're usually sentimental story where the sentimentality really only person.

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 2>And not taking anything away from a kid or any

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 2>of those stories. There's a place for that story, and

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 2>that's part of my point on what kind of stories

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 2>are we telling? On the Bear grease deer stories because

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 2>they're they're they They got to have a hook, they

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 2>got to be exciting, they got to have a punchline.

0:32:56.560 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I think part of it too, I'm answered my own question. Okay,

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I think part of it too. I told Josh the

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 2>other day I would almost rather pick the person I

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 2>want to tell me a story.

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 5>I literally told somebody the other day I said, these

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 5>dear stories are thirty percent story and seventy percent storyteller.

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah.

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's not even like bells and whistles of storytelling.

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not It's not like everybody has to be like

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 2>an Andy Brown that gives the sound. But it's the

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 2>character of the person, like like, well, it's the way

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 2>they sound, it's the it's the it's the authenticity in

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 2>their voice.

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 7>It's the Anyway, when I say sentimental, I'm thinking, well,

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 7>the initially I went to that Turkey story of the

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 7>guy in Tennessee where he took a no, took the

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 7>strap off.

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 3>His gun and.

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Story that's it's not like Sacharine sentimental. It's not like

0:33:56.360 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 7>super it's like, uh, the relationship or in this your

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 7>story one.

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 3>The uncle Ira, what did you call him?

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 9>Ari?

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 7>Alright, all right, the the like the story of him,

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 7>just that whole like that connection to someone else, that

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 7>thing that transcends this. Yeah, I think that's what I

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 7>mean by sentimental.

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you're right, you're right of.

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 7>The storyteller talking about dipping and he used the word wretched.

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Yea wretched in there.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we need to do a deer story, like an

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.240
<v Speaker 5>All Star Deer Stories.

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's time probably.

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:33.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean because I mean, over the past five

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 5>years there's been.

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 1>On different ones.

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm always surprised when I to me, there's always

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 2>one story in the episode that's like the best, like like,

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 2>if you had any other thought, I would think you

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't understand deer honey. And but clearly that's like myopic

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.840
<v Speaker 2>view of like your perception of how you evaluate life.

0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Which I'm joking when I say that, but like there's

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 2>always one that's just like really clear, and then I'll

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>talk to somebody and they'll be like, oh I like

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that one, and they're all good, or they wouldn't be

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 2>on there.

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, you know what I mean?

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 5>I would say overall, Deer Stories and Turkey Stories are

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 5>the podcasts that I get the most feedback on positive negative. Yeah,

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 5>like people love love dear stories and turkey stories.

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 7>Okay, let me pass something by you on picking the storyteller.

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 7>I feel like there are people who are exceptionally gifted

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 7>with storytelling, and oftentimes the craziest things happened to those people.

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 1>They have a propensity some people.

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, my uncle Scott is that way. Incredible storyteller. He's

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:47.040
<v Speaker 7>a big old guy, always wears overalls and the just

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 7>stuff happens, I'd call him snake bit right. He just

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, he was building his house and nailed his

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 7>hand to his roof and hearing him tell that story

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 7>is incredible. But just him fiddling with a climber and

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 7>getting his knee he's hyper extended because he slipped out.

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>He's got some coordination issues.

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 7>Oh definitely for sure, going to the bathroom and feeling

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 7>good about it while hunting and then putting his coveralls

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 7>back on and realizing that he had used the sleeve

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 7>just just and constantly, it's always happening to He's an

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:21.880
<v Speaker 7>incredible storyteller. But I'm like, I could count up on

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 7>one hand maybe this quality of experiences in this realm

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 7>that I have had, and you seem to have this

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 7>every week.

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 6>Kind of like the guy and the story one of

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 6>the stories of this second episode where where the the

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.799
<v Speaker 6>guy's dad love to hunt and loves to do all

0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.680
<v Speaker 6>that bho his son says he can't hit the broadside

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 6>of a bar there.

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jordan Bear, what.

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Was your favorite story?

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of want to open it back up

0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 2>because we didn't have a render about episode one, which

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 2>had some incredible stuff. It had it had uh Andy Brown,

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 2>uh about Uncle Ari, but mainly it had Johnny Johnson

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and story about giving away deer.

0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 4>And had the stories about the deer camps too.

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, so that was on the second one you're talking

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>about the first, Well, I'm just saying I'm opening it

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 1>up to all that.

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 8>The deer camp stories. Matt Taylor had to be my

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 8>favorite because the deer camp well yeah, and I've gone

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 8>I can go to their deer camp a lot, and

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 8>those stories. So Matt Taylor's son, Weston is one of

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 8>my good hunting buddies.

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:30.239
<v Speaker 1>It happens to be.

0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 4>He's the eagle. Yeah.

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>If you see the eagle pull up, you're hunting area.

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:36.959
<v Speaker 4>If you see that.

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 5>With the bald eagle and the.

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 1>That says, I am the pressure. Yeah he is. He's

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:51.840
<v Speaker 1>almost tagged out already head on. He lets no mercy.

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 8>He he does have a the longest running he has

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:58.200
<v Speaker 8>a wild hunting statistic.

0:37:58.440 --> 0:37:59.800
<v Speaker 4>He has never passed.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:06.760
<v Speaker 1>He's once and he shot.

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 8>He's on public whole life and Bat Taylor, I'm serious,

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.760
<v Speaker 8>like he's every deer he's ever seen in the woods.

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:18.479
<v Speaker 1>While I had a guy, he killed it. He's killed

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like twenty one deers.

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 3>He does not know what a deer walking away looks like,

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 3>what's that?

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>He's a flag? I saw some weird the woodstas a

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>white flat right what it was?

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:37.800
<v Speaker 8>But anyway, so I've gone to that deer camp maybe

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:39.440
<v Speaker 8>since I was I think I was fourteen the first

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 8>time I went there.

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 3>But they those three stories.

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 8>Whenever I heard the first one about the antler getting shot,

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.280
<v Speaker 8>I was like, they he better tell the Tanneride story.

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 8>He better tell the deer jumping out of the truck story,

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 8>because it's just like those stories, Like they say the

0:38:55.680 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 8>greatest hips and they kill like very consistently giant public

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.319
<v Speaker 8>land bucks. I mean almost every year they've got a

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.719
<v Speaker 8>they've got a wall where the you know, like.

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Whoever kills the biggest buck?

0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 8>Every year gets a hat and they've got a wall

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 8>for like thirty years worth of bucks, and you go

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 8>look at all the pictures and they've got some giant

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 8>bucks that they kill on public land, and like, I

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 8>mean they tell those stories here and there, but like

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 8>the these stories are are you know, like the deer

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 8>jumping out of the back of the side by side

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 8>and they get back and he's not there. You know.

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 8>So those had to be my favorite, just because it's

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 8>like the way they hunt is a very tough way

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 8>to hunt, but they've What I like about it is

0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:42.319
<v Speaker 8>they've done it for so long. They've got they've got

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 8>a lot of tradition in their camp and it's like

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 8>a they just have a really neat camp and I

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 8>feel like it's kind of portrayed well through those stories

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 8>of like what what's really like what the camp is

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 8>really about there?

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I thought Matt. Matt's stories were great.

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Was the tanneright, the same guy that got.

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Kicked in the face? Yeah, same guy, the same guy that.

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Those were the two stories about this this cody you know, yeah,

0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Matt's story, that story could have had a way different outcome.

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if when you're listening from a production standpoint,

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 2>like when Matt starts telling the story of him smoking

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:24.360
<v Speaker 2>like marb on Home Alone.

0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 1>There's like this real lighthearted like music, and the story

0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 1>could have been and the guy was blind and lost.

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, supposing of explosives in a fire is a

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:37.759
<v Speaker 7>crazy move.

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It just it just was one of those no brainer moves.

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 2>But Josh, what was your favorite story of all of them?

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 5>You know, I really like Johnny Johnson's story because I

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:57.680
<v Speaker 5>think a lot of that that respect for older people

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 5>is starting to slip a little bit, and I think

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 5>that that one was a little sentimental to me.

0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, I.

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 5>Had great appreciation because there was no like, it was

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:12.279
<v Speaker 5>no question, oh he shot the deer, you know what

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean? Yeah, And I appreciate that about it because

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 5>and and that would have been a time that Johnny

0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 5>wasn't necessarily the greatest guy in the world, but they

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 5>still had respect for this old man.

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 4>And I think that means something to me.

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Man, if you hadn't listened to that episode, uh, look

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:30.000
<v Speaker 1>up what episode number that is, Josh, if you can,

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:35.879
<v Speaker 1>but that that story is one of the most unique.

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And what was so cool about it to me was

0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Johnny he didn't want to tell me.

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:45.319
<v Speaker 7>That story that that's what I was going to say,

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:47.759
<v Speaker 7>the setup because if he had been like, I got

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 7>a story for you, Oh check out how good I am?

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:53.320
<v Speaker 6>Right well, and he, uh, you know, he said, he

0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:55.440
<v Speaker 6>kind told it to you just by chance.

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It was totally about chance. I wasn't even at his house.

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:00.760
<v Speaker 2>It was when I went to his cab his place

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 2>to get him to tell me about yeah, like his

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:06.279
<v Speaker 2>whole life, which was one of the coolest episodes of

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five.

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 5>So three fourteen Confessions of a Former Outlaw.

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, now that was that one. I was saying, what's

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 2>the Deer Stories episode? So Johnny had episode three fourteen,

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 2>which is Confessions of a Former Outlaw I think, in

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 2>my mind, one of the coolest stories that we've ever told.

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 2>And then the Deer Stories one. But yeah, So I

0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 2>was at Johnny's to talk about Turkey, and I was

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:31.799
<v Speaker 2>just looking at his wall of deer and and there

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.520
<v Speaker 2>was one that was the biggest, just clearly the biggest,

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and I just said, hey, is that the biggest deer

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:38.759
<v Speaker 2>that y'all have killed over in this part.

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Of the country.

0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Kind of just trying to get a feel for how

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:43.799
<v Speaker 2>big the deer were, because sometimes you go into people's

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:45.840
<v Speaker 2>place and you see a bunch of deer on the

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 2>wall and they go, oh, these aren't the big ones.

0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.320
<v Speaker 2>The big ones are in my living room. Yep, that's

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.959
<v Speaker 2>actually pretty common. Yeah, and they go, oh yeah, these

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:57.839
<v Speaker 2>just in the barn are the ones that didn't make

0:42:57.880 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 2>it to the shoulder mount, you know what I mean.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.279
<v Speaker 2>And I mean they were a huge deer. So I

0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:05.279
<v Speaker 2>was anticipating him telling me this is the big one.

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 2>It was like, I'd say, one hundred and fifty type

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 2>inch deer and he said, he said, yeah, that's probably

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the biggest one, except for you know, we gave one away.

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 1>One that probably bigger than that we gave away.

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:19.640
<v Speaker 2>And then he just started talking about the other deer,

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, hey, wait a minute, let's circle back.

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Tell me what you mean by it gave it away.

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And he just went, oh god, we all kind of

0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:32.439
<v Speaker 2>shot at the same time, and you know, this guy

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 2>killed it, and old man, I mean, he just like

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 2>he was just like, let's keep moving, Clay, this is

0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:39.799
<v Speaker 2>not that interesting to the story. And so when we

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.600
<v Speaker 2>sat down and he had a recorder on, I said,

0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 2>you got to tell me the whole story, give me

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the whole story.

0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:47.880
<v Speaker 1>And so he did, and it was pretty phenomenal.

0:43:55.000 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I actually had another story on this is kind of

0:43:58.640 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes.

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh. One of the storytellers I won't tell who.

0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Had a story that they were gonna tell me and

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:12.520
<v Speaker 2>did tell me that was spurred on by Johnny's story

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 2>because it was the opposite. Two guys shot and there

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:20.160
<v Speaker 2>was a major conflict over who killed the deer, and

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to the point that one of the guys went and

0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 2>put his foot on the rack and said, Okay, well

0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna break the rack and you know, you

0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 2>can take half and I can take half or something

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:30.640
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:36.799
<v Speaker 7>Oh real Solomon, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and so you.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Are the true mother.

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.799
<v Speaker 2>So it was a real ugly story though, I mean

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:47.040
<v Speaker 2>it was like, you know, just guys just each.

0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Other kill the energy of the podcast.

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was, it was. And so anyway, it just

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:52.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't really fit.

0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:56.799
<v Speaker 2>But there's a lot of stories that don't end like yeah,

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Johnny's did.

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But I also so think that.

0:45:00.880 --> 0:45:03.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of those old guys that like Ernie

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:06.720
<v Speaker 2>in Matt's story, who doesn't really care about the horns,

0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that much, which is bizarre to me. Louet Dell and

0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Edwards, the Turkey hunting outlaws that we did the

0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:18.600
<v Speaker 2>series on Genuine Outlaws. Those guys were deer hunters and

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:21.120
<v Speaker 2>their whole life, I mean, killed a lot of deer

0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and they never kept the horns really, I mean they

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>give them away to people. Their horns are just scattered

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:34.320
<v Speaker 2>throughout the county. I talked to Stony one day, I

0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 2>mean when I was doing that interview and I was like,

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 2>what's the biggest deer your dad ever killed? And he said, oh,

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 2>he killed a giant one time.

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, big, you know.

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 2>He described it to me, and I mean, I feel

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:46.200
<v Speaker 2>like he was describing a one hundred and sixty inch

0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:47.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe bigger type deer.

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, man, I'd like to see that.

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to get a picture of it. And he

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, well, we don't even have it.

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:54.799
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know where it is.

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 1>He said that gave it away.

0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:00.239
<v Speaker 2>I was like, gave it away and he's like, oh yeah, yeah,

0:46:00.239 --> 0:46:02.839
<v Speaker 2>he said, Clay. He said, those deer when they're those

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 2>horns are stacked up at our camp the week of

0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.240
<v Speaker 2>deer season. He said, they mean something to us, because

0:46:08.239 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 2>when they kill a deer, they put the.

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Horns on the woodpile. And he said, when we pack

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.279
<v Speaker 1>up that next Saturday to go home, those horns don't

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:20.600
<v Speaker 1>mean a thing does and they just kind of give

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:21.040
<v Speaker 1>him away.

0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:23.400
<v Speaker 5>Even to this date, Stoney says that about himself.

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I don't know. I mean, he'd probably keep a

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.719
<v Speaker 2>big one. I mean, I don't really know. He just

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 2>said that's the way his dad and them were, and

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.279
<v Speaker 2>he was talking about himself when he said that doesn't

0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 2>really mean that much to us. But I think the

0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:44.400
<v Speaker 2>culture around keeping horns is way stronger today than it

0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 2>than it probably was in the past. I mean, I

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 2>think people want to keep a set of horns today,

0:46:50.800 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 2>but I know Mo Shepherd does.

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.360
<v Speaker 6>I'd ad they'll give away several sets of horns, and

0:46:56.440 --> 0:47:00.320
<v Speaker 6>even killed He's go out West and Colorade and he

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:04.399
<v Speaker 6>hunted Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, elkhinned Mulier. He kills some big

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.839
<v Speaker 6>mule deer and he'd bring them home and he'd show

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 6>them off. And then I remember when I was like, Kenna,

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 6>let me go. Some people came by and he was

0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 6>showing them the horns of big mule deer. He'd kill

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:15.359
<v Speaker 6>and they said, both those are nice horns. He said,

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 6>we do you want them? They said, yeah, we like

0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:19.799
<v Speaker 6>to have them to take home or do what? And

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:21.359
<v Speaker 6>he just give them to him And I remember him

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 6>doing that several times as a kid growing up.

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh.

0:47:26.040 --> 0:47:27.719
<v Speaker 4>He didn't think much about the horns, you know.

0:47:27.840 --> 0:47:29.359
<v Speaker 1>So yeah and eat.

0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:31.840
<v Speaker 1>What was your favorite story?

0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:31.920
<v Speaker 4>Mo?

0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Which one stood out to you?

0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 6>I really liked the one that you were you all

0:47:36.719 --> 0:47:40.160
<v Speaker 6>were talking about, you know, but as uh to hit

0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:42.319
<v Speaker 6>on another base, I really liked the one of of

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 6>whaling the lines. I mean, even if it hadn't been

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 6>a monster buck, that's the way it all took place,

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:53.880
<v Speaker 6>him hunting him, missing it, uh, not getting to go

0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 6>back for a while, and going back and and that's

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.040
<v Speaker 6>what he does set one of those finger ridges. Did

0:47:59.080 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 6>you hear that in the story?

0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Bear?

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't notice it.

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:05.839
<v Speaker 6>Him and his wife went with him and they went

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:08.400
<v Speaker 6>and sat on a finger ridge aways from where he

0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 6>had because he said it looked like a better place

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:13.640
<v Speaker 6>to maybe ambush a big deer, another good deer.

0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 4>And anyway, that's where he wound up killing it.

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 6>And there's one of them where it don't happen very often.

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:21.279
<v Speaker 6>It's happened to me twice my whole life, where I

0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 6>walked up the deer and it's a lot bigger than

0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:25.439
<v Speaker 6>what I thought it was when I when I put

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 6>my sights on it or slung an air at it,

0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:29.719
<v Speaker 6>or yeah, done something to it, you know, And that

0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:31.719
<v Speaker 6>don't happen very often. And it happened for sure on

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:32.360
<v Speaker 6>his stuff.

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:35.240
<v Speaker 1>That deer. I wish you could see it. It truly

0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:39.319
<v Speaker 1>is just giant. It doesn't look like it came from ozarks.

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a mainframe eight eight point, I mean, just like

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I imagine, just a clean eight point. Now it does

0:48:44.760 --> 0:48:50.200
<v Speaker 2>have the number of kickers, but they're but they're just

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I think they're on the G two's. I can't remember

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:55.560
<v Speaker 2>had something maybe some on the base is a few,

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 2>but just I mean don't I can't.

0:48:59.320 --> 0:49:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember how long the times were?

0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Is that what that we said?

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Like it was six and a half at the base

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 3>and four at the tips come out to where.

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:08.680
<v Speaker 2>They flashed out on the just just kept its mass

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, and this is just on this old rocky

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:12.719
<v Speaker 2>ground over here.

0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that that was a good That was a

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.320
<v Speaker 1>good story. That was a great story.

0:49:17.400 --> 0:49:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Like I said the way the whole thing transpired, it

0:49:19.560 --> 0:49:21.960
<v Speaker 6>was a really great story. And then them dragging it out,

0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:24.960
<v Speaker 6>and then he even made that comment, you know, even

0:49:24.960 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 6>though he's got that deer and got those horns, I don't know,

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:28.279
<v Speaker 6>I he's got it matter what. But he even made

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:30.759
<v Speaker 6>that comedy. You don't never hunt for horns. I just

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:32.600
<v Speaker 6>hunt for the deer because I like the meat. And

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 6>yeah sometimes that's who killed some of them monster deer.

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. What what other what

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:43.680
<v Speaker 1>other stories were in there?

0:49:46.600 --> 0:49:51.799
<v Speaker 5>Had the father Stephen Gadberry's story about him and hunt

0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:52.560
<v Speaker 5>with Jesus.

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:58.600
<v Speaker 2>It was like it threw me, you know, I thought

0:49:58.640 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be one of these you deals

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:04.360
<v Speaker 2>like hunting with Jesus, you know, and he was like, actually,

0:50:04.600 --> 0:50:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like for real.

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:10.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny. He uh he

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 5>got a good chuckle ot of that one.

0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:13.800

<v Speaker 2>is uh pretty well known that he's been on the

0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:26.919

<v Speaker 6>I've got a lot of comments about that episode, about

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:49.480

<v Speaker 8>and then two bucks of that caliber fighting. I I

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 8>wonder how that deer, like, if that deer like saw

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:06.080
<v Speaker 8>him right there, or like if it was just so

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.400
<v Speaker 8>in the moment, yeah, just you know, out of breath

0:52:09.440 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 8>and had so much adrenaline pumping that it just like

0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:14.359
<v Speaker 8>I didn't even notice him. But I wonder how he

0:52:14.880 --> 0:52:16.799
<v Speaker 8>even got four steps from a deer.

0:52:16.840 --> 0:52:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you'd think that even.

0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:23.280
<v Speaker 2>When the wind was howling, and you know, he told

0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 2>the keys to it, and I think that was the key,

0:52:25.280 --> 0:52:27.680
<v Speaker 2>is that the wind was howling. And I mean sometimes

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:29.919
<v Speaker 2>you'd be surprised what you can do when if it's

0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:33.839
<v Speaker 2>real windy. And I think when those bucks are that

0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:38.200
<v Speaker 2>focused on one another, they just lose focus of everything else,

0:52:39.000 --> 0:52:40.959
<v Speaker 2>you know. And so I mean I think he had

0:52:42.360 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 2>two things going for him there, you know, where he

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 2>could just get up to him.

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, I don't know I agree with that

0:52:50.080 --> 0:52:52.799
<v Speaker 6>because you know, it's been several year ago. But I

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:55.760
<v Speaker 6>was sitting on the ground on just a little blind

0:52:55.800 --> 0:52:58.759
<v Speaker 6>place I built and I've been there most morning. It

0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 6>was probably in a couple after that light and I

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:03.160
<v Speaker 6>heard racket, and I thought, what is that I'm hearing?

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 6>It sounded like somebody banging rocks together.

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 4>And then curio.

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:12.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this was like in the late eighties, probably

0:53:12.560 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 6>eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine, and.

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:16.919
<v Speaker 4>When I could still here real good.

0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:20.120
<v Speaker 6>But I slept there for a while, and then it

0:53:20.160 --> 0:53:23.120
<v Speaker 6>would stop, and then it'd get louder, and I could

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:24.920
<v Speaker 6>tell her just around the ridge from me on it.

0:53:24.960 --> 0:53:26.880
<v Speaker 6>I was on a bench, and so I got up

0:53:26.880 --> 0:53:29.960
<v Speaker 6>and went started slipping towards it, slipping towards it, and

0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 6>the closer I got, the ladder got well. I finally

0:53:31.640 --> 0:53:33.759
<v Speaker 6>got over that crest of that there it was on

0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:35.320
<v Speaker 6>like a white oak bench where there's.

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:36.359
<v Speaker 4>You know, they're usually pretty open.

0:53:36.440 --> 0:53:39.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean you can there's still some brush, but you

0:53:39.080 --> 0:53:41.320
<v Speaker 6>can see Pey gooding out there. Probably one hundred yards

0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:42.160
<v Speaker 6>I could see moving.

0:53:42.239 --> 0:53:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Got looking. It was three bucks and they were fighting,

0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:48.520
<v Speaker 4>like what his story said to them, you know, they

0:53:48.880 --> 0:53:49.520
<v Speaker 4>wanted to get down.

0:53:49.640 --> 0:53:52.640
<v Speaker 6>I remember first when I first saw him, they was

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:56.000
<v Speaker 6>two shoving each other, and I was muzzloader hunting. Had

0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:59.480
<v Speaker 6>an old renegade muzzloader with open sides. I thought oh gosh,

0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:01.719
<v Speaker 6>I gotta get closer, you know. And I didn't really

0:54:01.800 --> 0:54:04.960
<v Speaker 6>know what to do, but I thought, well, they're occupied,

0:54:05.000 --> 0:54:07.279
<v Speaker 6>and the wind was okay, it was blowing hard that day,

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 6>and so I started slimming apit closer and by the

0:54:10.640 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 6>time I seen moving again in that third buck run

0:54:13.640 --> 0:54:16.560
<v Speaker 6>as hard as he could run, and I still remember today,

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:20.440
<v Speaker 6>did that real loud like that, and just rammed the

0:54:20.480 --> 0:54:22.560
<v Speaker 6>side of one of them that was really fighting with

0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:24.759
<v Speaker 6>the other really and spun around and they went the

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:26.560
<v Speaker 6>button each other, and this one to fight on it.

0:54:26.560 --> 0:54:28.040
<v Speaker 6>And I just kept getting closer, and I got about

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:32.520
<v Speaker 6>probably fifty sixty yards of them and got down on

0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:34.200
<v Speaker 6>one knee and got me a rest and took a

0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 6>shot and shot my muzloader and they just kept fighting

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:40.759
<v Speaker 6>really yeah, And I thought, oh crap, I missed, you know.

0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:43.680
<v Speaker 6>And back then you got black power, you got a patch,

0:54:43.760 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 6>you got a ball. I didn't have all the fancy

0:54:46.680 --> 0:54:49.680
<v Speaker 6>bullets in. So I go to reloading and here they come.

0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:54.080
<v Speaker 6>They start coming towards me, fighting and then one rams another,

0:54:54.120 --> 0:54:55.480
<v Speaker 6>and I'm trying to load and watch.

0:54:55.320 --> 0:54:56.239
<v Speaker 4>The deer and do all that.

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you know which one you shot?

0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? They were all three wound up. I think they

0:55:01.080 --> 0:55:03.200
<v Speaker 4>would have been eight points, but one was a little bigger.

0:55:03.239 --> 0:55:05.279
<v Speaker 4>He was he was had taller rack, and that's the

0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:05.920
<v Speaker 4>one I picked out.

0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:07.239
<v Speaker 6>They was he was one of the two that was

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 6>first fighting to get and one of the smaller of

0:55:10.080 --> 0:55:12.040
<v Speaker 6>the three is wanted run and rammed into.

0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:13.760
<v Speaker 4>The the other ones.

0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:17.880
<v Speaker 6>Anyway, to shorten the story up a little bit, I

0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:20.880
<v Speaker 6>finally got my gun loaded and as the it's coming

0:55:20.920 --> 0:55:23.640
<v Speaker 6>towards me. They were probably thirty forty yard they were.

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:27.640
<v Speaker 6>The two were fighting, and this one was behind them,

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 6>the bigger one. I thought, well, why is he behind them?

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:31.799
<v Speaker 6>You know? And I got ready to shoot again and

0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:34.319
<v Speaker 6>he just collapses. It's the one I had shot, but

0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:36.359
<v Speaker 6>he paid no attention to that shot. He was still

0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:37.759
<v Speaker 6>wanting to fight with those other deer.

0:55:38.040 --> 0:55:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Wow, and they.

0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Haven't you told me this story before?

0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:41.919
<v Speaker 4>You just.

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:45.120
<v Speaker 1>That story I've heard you tell.

0:55:46.560 --> 0:55:48.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, it brought to my mind. I mean, I've got

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 4>so many stories over the years, I've hunted so much.

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:53.879
<v Speaker 6>I mean just I just thought of it when when

0:55:53.920 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 6>you all got talking about.

0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Most forgotten, better stories than you've.

0:55:58.880 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Ever That's that's wow, that's cool. I was going to

0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:07.719
<v Speaker 1>ask you if you'd ever really seen deer just.

0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 6>Like I mean, they were getting like you know, and

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:12.840
<v Speaker 6>they weren't monster bucks, but they were nice mountain bucks,

0:56:12.920 --> 0:56:14.399
<v Speaker 6>all three of them. And like I said, I think

0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:16.560
<v Speaker 6>I killed the best of them, but I'm not absolutely

0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:18.800
<v Speaker 6>sure I did, because they were all moving, the open

0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:20.400
<v Speaker 6>sides and all that, but I think I killed the

0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:22.560
<v Speaker 6>best rack one. But they were all, you know, in

0:56:22.600 --> 0:56:25.600
<v Speaker 6>that class of fifteen sixteen each deer eight points, just

0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:27.239
<v Speaker 6>good mountain public lan deer.

0:56:27.320 --> 0:56:30.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, wow, that's cool, I don't.

0:56:30.880 --> 0:56:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've seen plenty of deer tickle their horns together.

0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I've probably seen some young deer get fairly serious fighting,

0:56:42.080 --> 0:56:44.560
<v Speaker 2>but I can't say that I've ever seen like like

0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:47.480
<v Speaker 2>what Richard saw, or even like that where I.

0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:49.080
<v Speaker 6>Said, I remember my dad was still alive then he

0:56:49.120 --> 0:56:50.600
<v Speaker 6>died in ninety one, and now I know it was

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.760
<v Speaker 6>two three years before he passed away. But when I

0:56:53.800 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 6>brought that deer back home and shut it to him,

0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:56.080
<v Speaker 6>we were looking at it.

0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:58.080
<v Speaker 4>You could there was holes poked in it.

0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.640
<v Speaker 6>When we skinned it out where they'd been fire pretty hard,

0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:03.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, were other horns, and that maybe been from

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:06.359
<v Speaker 6>where that small one run into one I shot, you know, yeah,

0:57:06.360 --> 0:57:08.759
<v Speaker 6>I said. They were had to down a little close

0:57:08.760 --> 0:57:10.600
<v Speaker 6>to the ground doing you know, shove and push like that,

0:57:10.640 --> 0:57:12.719
<v Speaker 6>and that one just made two or three loud grunts and

0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:14.600
<v Speaker 6>just well, wham not that one come away from.

0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:17.400
<v Speaker 4>The other one. So wow, But it's pretty awesome.

0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:19.560
<v Speaker 6>And the all other time I seen that happen was

0:57:19.600 --> 0:57:22.919
<v Speaker 6>another time I was bow hunting. I didn't kill a deer,

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 6>but I seen a buck with a dough out and

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:27.840
<v Speaker 6>a little clearing and an old home place where I

0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 6>was sitting and watching some acrons, and there was feeding

0:57:30.840 --> 0:57:33.800
<v Speaker 6>on acrons early in the season, and the and the.

0:57:33.760 --> 0:57:34.959
<v Speaker 4>Buck was kind of peeling around.

0:57:35.000 --> 0:57:38.160
<v Speaker 6>And at that time, this was several years after that,

0:57:38.520 --> 0:57:41.400
<v Speaker 6>but I was trying my grunt call out and I

0:57:41.400 --> 0:57:42.960
<v Speaker 6>would drunk, and the dough and the buck would both

0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:45.160
<v Speaker 6>look towards me. Then they just go back to the

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:46.920
<v Speaker 6>head kind of sniffing around. And how I could do

0:57:46.960 --> 0:57:48.880
<v Speaker 6>behind her, and she was mainly just eating acrens. And

0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:50.920
<v Speaker 6>there was probably fifty sixty yards from me. I was

0:57:51.000 --> 0:57:53.640
<v Speaker 6>up standing on an old limb on a white oak

0:57:53.680 --> 0:57:56.920
<v Speaker 6>tree with my ree curved bow. When I used to

0:57:56.960 --> 0:57:59.040
<v Speaker 6>hunt a lot, when I could climb trees easy. But

0:57:59.800 --> 0:58:03.479
<v Speaker 6>uh uh, I heard remember hearing stick's breaking. I looked

0:58:03.520 --> 0:58:07.640
<v Speaker 6>in a really nice buck came from behind me somewhere

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:12.320
<v Speaker 6>and came running, grunning back like that, and he ran

0:58:12.360 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 6>and knocked that deer down, that smaller buck, and they

0:58:15.920 --> 0:58:18.200
<v Speaker 6>fought this a little bit, and then he walked over

0:58:18.240 --> 0:58:19.920
<v Speaker 6>and rose the door around and they took off with

0:58:20.040 --> 0:58:22.200
<v Speaker 6>the other direction, and I never did see him nowhere

0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:22.760
<v Speaker 6>after that.

0:58:22.680 --> 0:58:25.240
<v Speaker 1>But Wow came and took it from her. Yeah, from him,

0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:26.400
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't.

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.080
<v Speaker 6>Much of a fight because he was a lot bigger deer.

0:58:28.120 --> 0:58:30.640
<v Speaker 6>But I tried drunking and everything, and he never paid

0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:32.840
<v Speaker 6>me no attention. Once he was with that dough, they

0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 6>took off. But that's the two instances I've seen bucks

0:58:37.080 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 6>kind of spar off in.

0:58:37.880 --> 0:58:40.600
<v Speaker 4>The woods like that. But that first one was pretty awesome.

0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Where have you ever seen deer fight?

0:58:45.040 --> 0:58:48.800
<v Speaker 8>Time with Lee Walt whenever I was like a little kid,

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:51.800
<v Speaker 8>we saw two I don't think they were giant bucks,

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:55.600
<v Speaker 8>but two bucks down on Yeah, they were racked bucks

0:58:55.840 --> 0:58:57.959
<v Speaker 8>and they were they fought a little But I've never

0:58:58.000 --> 0:59:03.160
<v Speaker 8>I've never really seen and I'm other than that get

0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 8>after it that I could think.

0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:06.000

<v Speaker 4>Are they going to do on Bear Grease?

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:47.560
<v Speaker 6>I said, well, probably will I said, you know, I

0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:49.440
<v Speaker 6>don't know for sure, but I forget it was they

0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:51.760
<v Speaker 6>and a lot of people say that's some of their favorites,

0:59:51.800 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 6>is the deer stories, and like, like I was talking

0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:55.600
<v Speaker 6>about the Turkey stories in.

0:59:55.600 --> 0:59:56.919
<v Speaker 4>The spring, they really liked them.

0:59:56.920 --> 1:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>So mm hm, Well, now that you burned up the

1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>best story, yeah, well we'll.

1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Cut that and yeah, I'm almost serious. I might tell

1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>a story on this next one. Yeah, I've got I've

1:00:16.800 --> 1:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>got it. Yeah. Well, if they told the same story

1:00:20.160 --> 1:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>every year, well, that's the thing. That's the interesting thing

1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>about stories, and when you when you start going to

1:00:26.160 --> 1:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>people time and time again. I mean, I've almost literally

1:00:31.200 --> 1:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>deer hunted my whole life. And uh, there's only so

1:00:37.400 --> 1:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>many stories that are really great.

1:00:40.960 --> 1:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>You know.

1:00:41.240 --> 1:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's not it's not like you just have unlimited,

1:00:43.720 --> 1:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>really unique stories. And and most people, when you go

1:00:48.000 --> 1:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>to them and say, tell me your your stories, they've

1:00:50.280 --> 1:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>got one or two, maybe three that just are really great.

1:00:56.080 --> 1:00:56.680
<v Speaker 4>And then.

1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>And so, I mean, they're hard to come by. So

1:01:01.000 --> 1:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm dipping into.

1:01:03.120 --> 1:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>The obscure story category. One of my stories may have

1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>to do with an explosion. Matt Taylor brought it to mind.

1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever heard me talk about an explosion? Well,

1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:18.320
<v Speaker 2>in the vicinity of deer hunting.

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:19.880
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't ring a bill.

1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I told me about I ever told

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>it on the podcast.

1:01:25.480 --> 1:01:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Were You Hunting Taylor's Deer Camp? So there I was

1:01:29.040 --> 1:01:29.600
<v Speaker 3>middle of the.

1:01:29.560 --> 1:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Woods with Matt with Cody.

1:01:32.120 --> 1:01:33.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you've told it on the podcast,

1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:34.840
<v Speaker 4>but I know the one you're talking about. You told

1:01:34.840 --> 1:01:35.120
<v Speaker 4>it to me.

1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm thinking about telling that story as rebuttal to

1:01:38.280 --> 1:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Matt's story.

1:01:39.480 --> 1:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh, And then.

1:01:41.760 --> 1:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so anyway, it's possible you might hear from me,

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>but man, me and Isaac Neil are going.

1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:54.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, last time we hunted for an extended period of time,

1:01:56.120 --> 1:01:57.200
<v Speaker 7>no stories.

1:01:56.920 --> 1:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>No none stories.

1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:00.240
<v Speaker 4>That was tough. Yeah.

1:02:00.280 --> 1:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>We went to Illinois and uh, this first time in

1:02:04.280 --> 1:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>my life, and don't you ever use it against me

1:02:07.240 --> 1:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>world that I went on a fully guided whitetail hunt.

1:02:10.160 --> 1:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just never done that in my life.

1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>We were offered, You were invited.

1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I was invited like two weeks before it happened, and

1:02:17.760 --> 1:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it was like, hey, you could go to Pike County,

1:02:19.600 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Illinois on a on a fully guided white tail bow hunt,

1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>and it just worked.

1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I need I wanted to go.

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Isaac went with me to film and we hunted for

1:02:30.360 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>six hard days and I mean didn't kill a buck.

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:37.919
<v Speaker 7>I think we hunted for seven, probably were slated for six,

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:40.920
<v Speaker 7>and then you were like, let's do one more, which

1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:41.600
<v Speaker 7>was Halloween.

1:02:41.880 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>You're right, you're right, yeah, yeah, and it wasn't. It

1:02:45.400 --> 1:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>was you know, you can you can be in some

1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>great deer country and not kill the deer.

1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:51.200
<v Speaker 4>You told me about that trip after you got back. Yeah,

1:02:51.240 --> 1:02:52.400
<v Speaker 4>he said it.

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:54.960
<v Speaker 6>It was crazy to be in such a place like

1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:57.080
<v Speaker 6>that and not get any opportunities of anything.

1:02:57.120 --> 1:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we saw one shooter, yeah, one or two?

1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think we saw two.

1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Actually the first day we saw the one out of

1:03:05.680 --> 1:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the back of the blind and then we.

1:03:07.720 --> 1:03:09.240
