10
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: really unique episode and this could be very interesting or

11
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: very bad for me. I'm not sure which. But we're

12
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: inter doing my wife and my friend Corey's wife, Ashley,

13
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be asking them all about what it's

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: like to be a quote unquote hunting widow. You know

15
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: what it's like to be married to a white tail addict. So, Dan,

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? How's this gonna go?

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm just glad my wife is not a guest. I'll

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: put it to you that way. I love her to death.

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: But um, we we get into it about about this

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: topic and uh, the whole um the fall and how

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: she becomes the fall widow and and how I try

22
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: to explain to her, Hey, the you know, it's only

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time out of the year, and

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: it just doesn't really matter to her. Yeah, it can

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: be a challenge. I uh, I'm sure we'll talk about

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: this with Kylie, but it's definitely a challenge that we've

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: had to work through too. Um. But I wanted to

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: get your wife on here, but I figured given the

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: fact that your daughter, you know, coming from coming back home,

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: i'd be I know, it would be an issue I

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: think for you guys to figure that out in the

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: short term. And I realized kind of short term notice.

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: So maybe if I can convince you and her to

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: do so at a later day, maybe we'll get her

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: on the show too. Well, here's what I did. I

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: forwarded her the questions and she answered them. Oh dude,

37
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Yeah, so I am going to I'm not

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna give the answers to to all

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: of them because it makes it sound like like here,

40
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I'll just give you an example. Here's the question or

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: the answer she gave to one question. Bitch and wine

42
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: a lot. Nice. Nice, there's that sounds good. I still

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: want her on the show. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Oh,

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I think I think it's gonna be interesting. But before

45
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: we get Kylie and Ashley on the phone, I did

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: want to, uh catch up with you a little bit.

47
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: What what's new have you been on hunting since we talked? No, Um,

48
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: last weekend was my week to go and we had

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: some unexpected visitors come into town and so that put

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: that on hold. And then that combined with the last

51
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: weekend it was forty degrees outside, so no snow on

52
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: the ground. Forty degree weather just historically has been terrible hunting.

53
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: And although that was gonna be my last possible time

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: to hunt of the week, I decided, you know, I'm

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: gonna earned brownie points. I guess you could say, and

56
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: take it and stay home. That way, this next upcoming

57
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: week we can go to the A T A show Man.

58
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: That is a bummer. Yeah, but you know, I, like

59
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I told you, and like I said to all the

60
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: listeners out there, this this season was kind of an

61
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: offseason right off, you know what I mean. It's kind

62
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: of solely dedicated to Ryan and getting him his buck

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: that I didn't even really plan to do a lot

64
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: of hunting, and with the with my hunting property properties

65
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: being over an hour away, it just makes things really

66
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: difficult at times. Yeah, I hear you. I Yeah, I

67
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: hear you. It can be tough. My The bulk of

68
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: my hunting is five hours away, and uh that's a challenge,

69
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: that's for sure. The good part about it. The good

70
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: part about it is that I get to spend compared

71
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: to the average Joe. I guess you'd say I probably

72
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: get to spend more time in the timber than most people,

73
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: which I'm very thankful for. H I gotta appreciate what

74
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: you've got, that's fact. Well, Um, I hate to do

75
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, m but I'm kind of gonna,

76
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, put salt in the wound. Maybe because

77
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: are you a one upper? I'm a one upper today. Yeah,

78
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: that's fine, go for it. I did get to go

79
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: out hunting last weekend and it was the most fun

80
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I've had hunting since November. It was awesome. So me

81
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: and my buddy Corey, whose wife is joining us on

82
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the show to night, Me and Cory went down to

83
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: Ohio on Thursday night and headed down to our properties.

84
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I've got a spot that I hunt with my friend

85
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Josh and Corey hunts a mile or two down the road,

86
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: and um, we hunted Thursday night Friday morning, and Friday

87
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: night was all the time we had. But Thursday night

88
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: we both got down there. Um I had an awesome

89
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: set because I saw the most deer I've ever seen

90
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: on this property before. I saw probably thirty deer. And

91
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: one of the deer I saw was Glenn, the big

92
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: buck that I missed last year who blew up into

93
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: a giant this year, and um, he's still alive and well,

94
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: and it was January two, so I was stoked to

95
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: see him. Um, he's just he's a toad. He's he's

96
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: an absolute toad. We kept look, we got more trail

97
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Cara pictures of him. He's been all over now the

98
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: last month or so on our farm, and um, man,

99
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: he's even bigger than I think I've realized. I mean,

100
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: he's awesome. What do you think he's going to score?

101
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: So this year he's at least we went over and over.

102
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: He's at least high sixties this year. Perfect. Um he

103
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: even he might he might be pushing one seventy, but

104
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: most likely high won sixties. But anyway, regardless of that,

105
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: he's just a gorgeous Buck, so cool, and I've seen

106
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: him so many times and have so much history with

107
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: him that UM really really really excited that he's going

108
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: to be around, hopefully for next year, borrowing, you know,

109
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: any other circumstances. But where he's living the majority of

110
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: his time, I think, is a property that no hunting

111
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: is allowed on. So that's properties right next to us,

112
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's a sanctuary, and so it's a really good

113
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: chance he's gonna make it since none of us killed him.

114
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. Next year he's just gonna

115
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, he'll be incredible. So I'm excited about that.

116
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: And that's good because it's it's like that that bit

117
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: of information right there. I mean, you're hunting seasons over

118
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: right as of right now, You're you're not going to

119
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: make it back out into the timber anymore. Yeah, I'm done, Okay,

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: So that little bit of information knowing that you know, hey,

121
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: this the shooter Buck was still alive the last day

122
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: you could possibly hunt in late January, UM on a

123
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: on a property that has it's basically secluded. That's just

124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: it just rolls right into this next season and it's

125
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: already that anticipation for for two thousand fifteen is already there,

126
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and I love that. I know it. I'm exactly And

127
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: it's funny, is I was kind of tiring out, Like

128
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: I think when we talked last time, I was talking

129
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: about how I'm pretty exhausted and was ready for the

130
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: season to be done. And I've been hunting in Michigan

131
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: the last month and a half almost solely, and you know,

132
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: it's been kind of a tough season in Michigan. Didn't

133
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: have any real bucks that really really wanted to hunt,

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: and the one buck that I was interested in hunting,

135
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't shown up since mid November. And then the

136
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: other three year old I wanted to get through the

137
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: year he disappeared on the seventeenth of November. So since then,

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a single buck over two and a

139
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: half that I've seen or got pictures of or anything.

140
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: So I've been kind of just down um still about

141
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: things in Michigan, and uh, you know, my excitement was

142
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of waning. Well, I went down to Ohio and

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: saw Glen that first night just reamped that excitement. And

144
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: then and then my buddy Corey picks me up that

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: night because we car pulled down there, and as we're

146
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: driving out of our property, just around the corner, we

147
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: turn and the headlights go over this bean field and

148
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: there's a giant standing in the beans. And I grabbed

149
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: my camera really quick and just get a couple of

150
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: seconds a quick video, just because I saw him there

151
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: as we were turning. And we went back and looked

152
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: at that video again, and that buck is Junkyard. Do

153
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: you remember that huge buck we caught in video camera

154
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: on trail camera this summer with all the junk around

155
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: his brow times and basses. Yeah, I think I remember

156
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Yeah, super wide. Well he's still alive.

157
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: He was there. He's a megatode. So that was incredible. Well,

158
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: next morning I went out and hunted. I saw a

159
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: decent buck, but it was still too dark. I could

160
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: only see through my binoculars. It could just see him

161
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: for a quick seconds. So I don't know what deer

162
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: it was, but new was a good one, or at

163
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: least a decent buck. Got a bunch of trail camera

164
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: pictures of Glenn of the beast that really really big

165
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: like one eight probably mid one seventies buck that got

166
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: pictures of in the snow. I think you've seen that picture. Um.

167
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Another buck that we've been calling Blades, who's like a

168
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: really nice mid one thirties buck, three and a half

169
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: year old, is gonna be really nice next year. Um.

170
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: And a handful of the deer just great trail camera pictures.

171
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: So again another thing that's got me excited about the year.

172
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: And then, um, we go out that night and this

173
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: is Friday night, and this time I decided I wanted

174
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: to get closer to the area where I saw Glen

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: so that I could hopefully get better video of him,

176
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: and I'd also be a little bit closer to where

177
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: all these doughs were moving in and out. I thought

178
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: I'd get a chance at the dough because you know,

179
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: as you know, I already filled my buck tag and

180
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: you only have one buck tag in Ohio. So at

181
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: this point I was just down there hunting doughs, but

182
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to see some of these bucks. Um, So

183
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I get out there again and it was just like

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: the night before, deer just start piling out like crazy,

185
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: and um, I'm watching dough after dough after dough after

186
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: dough piling out and I was actually sit standing on

187
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the ground hiding behind a tree was the only way

188
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: I could kind of get into the area I wanted

189
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: to be um. So I'm just standing behind a tree,

190
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: tucked into some bushes with my camera on a tripod.

191
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Then I'm mostly just really wanting to see some bucks

192
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: because I was just stoked for that. Well, all of

193
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, I see this big white frame come out

194
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: of the timber about a hundred and fifty yards away,

195
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: and it's My heart just started like pitter pattern like crazy.

196
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: My Cooley smokes is Glenn again? And then this deer

197
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: picks his head up and turns, and I realized it's

198
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: not Glenn. It's and it's it's not jaw Breaker. I

199
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: don't want to get into because I wasn't job Breaker,

200
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: But it was Blades, who was just really awesome three

201
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: and a half year old who might be you know,

202
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: really nice dear um. And he came out and I

203
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: got awesome video of him and got to watch him

204
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: for like ten fifteen minutes, so that was awesome. And

205
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: then he finally moved off, and then these doughs slowly

206
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: came out in my direction and I got shot of

207
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: dough so I filled my tag. My wife is happy

208
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: because he's he's you know, last time, my wife was

209
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of upset with me that I hadn't killed a

210
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: dough yet. So I got a doll on the ground,

211
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: I saw three of our shooters and got pictures of

212
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: a couple others, and um, so I thought that was awesome.

213
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: And then he get a phone call in his corey

214
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: and he tells me he just shot a big eight pointer.

215
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: So we just had like the most ridiculously awesome day

216
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: and a half trip to Ohile. He killed a really

217
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: nice buck. We went and recover it that night, came back,

218
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: recovered my dough. So we uh came home with two

219
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: deer in the truck and we were just absolutely stoked.

220
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm really excited for the new season. That's awesome.

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: Now this property that you were hunting that had was

222
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: it prepared with food plots or were you guys hunting

223
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: on some egg fields or what's the story there? Yeah,

224
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: so neither one of these properties we don't have any

225
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: kind of control like that. We um My buddy hunts

226
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: by permission. I've got a small lease. And both of

227
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: them though, did have crop fields on them, cut crop fields.

228
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Um my property had corn, so it's cut corn field

229
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: and his property was a cut bean field. Um, in

230
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: my case, there was a lot of there's the property

231
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: next door head some beans stubble still, so the deer

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: we're piling out into the bean stubble and then kind

233
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: of moving between my cut corn and the bean stubble

234
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: on the next door field. And then on his field

235
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: he had deer kind of piling out this a little

236
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: bit of crp patch and moving through some timber on

237
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: the way to a food source. He thought they weren't

238
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: really feeding in the beans by him. Um, I think

239
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: those are pretty cleaned up. But yeah, we were in

240
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: the right spots. And again I think both both areas

241
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: pretty low pressure. Neither one of us hunt those spots

242
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: too hard, but pretty careful about when we're in there.

243
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: And um, there was food, low pressure, and it was

244
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: decent weather. It was in the thirties down there, and um,

245
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: there was a front. I think another big thing was

246
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: there was a front coming through. So that night, Friday night,

247
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: this big rainstorms US ice storm was coming through and

248
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: when we caught these deer just before that front hit,

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: and I think that they were, you know, feeding a

250
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: little more just before them. So that is Uh. I

251
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: think that's why we were seeing such action and uh

252
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: why it all turned out the way it did right awesome. Yeah,

253
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: And for our listeners out there, if you live in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota,

254
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: even up into the some of the plane states, and

255
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: we just got hit with a gigantic snowstorm and uh,

256
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I think where I'm sitting, we got close probably between

257
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: seven and eight inches of snow in the last twenty

258
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: four hours. And this is one of those scenarios where

259
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: if you can find a food source and you can

260
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: find their betting area and you can get in between there.

261
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: With these really cold um temps coming today, it's like

262
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: high of you know, in the teens. Tomorrow my area

263
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be high of negative six. So if you can, yeah,

264
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: if you can find those two things, get in a

265
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: tree stand, if you can tough it out, or a

266
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: blind or something, get in there. Be patient, and there's

267
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: a good chance that these deer are going to start

268
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: hurting up this last week or two of the season

269
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to intercept whether it's a dough

270
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: or a box or whatever you're chasing. Yeah, this is

271
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: the late season. Whether that we've been dreaming of really

272
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: all December, because this is this is exactly what you need.

273
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: I know my buddy Pete, we call him Uncle Pete,

274
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: and he is actually in the woods right now. And

275
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: last night, I think it was last night, um, last

276
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: night of the night before, he was out and had

277
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of deer moving and a big eight was

278
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: moving down towards his way, but he wasn't able to

279
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: get a shot. But tonight he's just he's been texting

280
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: me over the last couple of thirty minutes and uh,

281
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: he said, he's sneaking in right now and there's already

282
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: deer outfeeding and it's three fifteen his time. So I

283
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: think it could be a really good couple of days

284
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: here for guys and g So that will being said,

285

300
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: this crazy stuff that we do. But rarely do we

301
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: stop to take a second and think about what things

302
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: are like on the other side with our wives or

303
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120

00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: both have to say about some of these things. And

308
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people listening are two. UM. So,

309
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, me and Dan have some various questions that

310
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw out there and hopefully it'll start a

311
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: conversation going. And what I want to make sure we

312
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: do here and I know this is an issue with you, Kylie,

313
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: because you don't. You don't hold anything back. But you

314
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: guys can be completely honest, don't you know? You don't

315
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: need to be nice about this. If you really feel something,

316
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: let's hear it, um me and and our feelings won't

317
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: be hurt or Corey's Corey's feelings won't be hurt either.

318
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: So so yeah, that's the plan. And I thought I

319
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: would start things out here with a simple question to

320
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: get get kicked off. And the question is would you

321
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: consider your husband a deer hunting addict? And if so,

322
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: is that a good or bad thing? And actually only

323
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: give that to you first. So it is an addict,

324
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: good or bad? Yes, he's definitely an addict. We jo

325
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: can say it's a disease, but um, and it is

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: a good thing. I have always been supportive of him

327
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: in doing this. I mean we moved to Iowa, as

328
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: you know, um for him to actually go to school.

329
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: But of course, of all of the schools that he

330
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: chose to attend, um, he chose the one in Iowa,

331
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: which we all know why he chose that one. On

332
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: top of the fact that it was a great school

333
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: and is a great school. Um, he also got to

334
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: hunt in the land of giants, so to speak, um,

335
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: which I do feel it's just bottom line, it's his passion. Um.

336
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: I think he reflect found life when he's out there.

337
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: I think he's puts his thoughts, he feels the peace.

338
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of things that I would

339
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: say I support and I think it is a very

340
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: good thing. Well that's good. What a what about you, Kylie?

341
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: What do you think? I guess I don't think I

342
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: really have to even answer that question because I know

343
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: you answer that for me. Um, whether it's a good

344
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: or a bad thing. Uh, it's definitely a good thing.

345
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: I had a lady at work and when we first

346
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: started dating, and she used to always hear the big

347
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: big advocate for you, and she would always say they

348
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: could have word hobbies. You know, they could be at

349
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: the bar out Gamblane or lord knows what. So if

350
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: you can find someone and their passion of being outdoors

351
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: and doing what you do, I think it's a good thing.

352
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad that some of the things that I say

353
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: are wearing off on Kylie, because I feel like that's

354
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: something I've said before to you too. Now you're actually

355
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: repeating it's it's a good argument. I think what, Dan,

356
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: did you ask your wife this question? Uh, well, she

357
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: knows I'm a white tail addict, um, and if you

358
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: ask her, she'd probably say it was a good thing

359
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm not doing cocaine some alley or

360
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: something like that, or you know, hanging out with the

361
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: ruffians of the neighborhood. But it's but as far as

362
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: a bad thing, she just her main thing is I

363
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have children yet, but I

364
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: have a daughter that's almost two, and my wife is

365
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: six months pregnant right now, so her energy levels a

366
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: little low anyway, So she's very understanding and I get

367
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: a hunt way more than those guys in my situation would.

368
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: But um, but I think the time away from home,

369
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: uh and with with a child is just stressful at times. Mhm. Yeah.

370
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: So speaking of of that right there, the time away

371
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: from home, that's typically one of the biggest things that

372
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, me and Kylie have had some challenges with

373
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm sure a lot of people do. Um,

374
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: just dealing with their significant other being off away somewhere

375
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: else doing something different. Um. So Kylie, like I said,

376
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about this in the past, where

377
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: I guess tell me tell me about in general, how

378
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: it's been over the past six years, you know, dating

379
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: and now being married to me and me being gone

380
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: for you know, weeks on end sometimes on these hunting trips.

381
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: How's it been for you? Has that been a challenge

382
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: and how have you you know, worked through that, and

383
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: how have we worked through that? Yeah, I definitely think

384
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: it's been a challenge, and I think at the beginning

385
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: of our relationship it was how believe what we fought over,

386
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: for lack of better words, the most. I think it

387
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: caused a lot of headache, and I think initially I

388
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't get it. You know, I'd never been

389
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: around somebody that was that intense. My dad, you know,

390
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: no hunting occasionally, but not to the level that you were.

391
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: So when it was like, all right, well, I just

392
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: put in my two weeks vacation for you know, October,

393
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, we're not going to go anywhere, Like

394
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. So I think we used

395
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: a lot of different strategies. I remember like threatening like, well, fine,

396
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a cruise by myself. And I

397
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: started looking and then you're like, what you're gonna go

398
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: by yourself. So it took us a while, I think,

399
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: to finally have that conversation and figure out and for

400
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: you to wrap your head around the tech that you

401
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: had to you know, be fair with it. And and

402
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: actually and I have talked about this before too, so

403
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: I remember you would say, Okay, well i'll take this

404
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: week off for hunting, and then another week we'll go

405
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: do something. So even just taking that initiative and showing

406
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: me that you thought about it and you understand, and

407
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: I think that was a big help. Um Now, I

408
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: think it's more of a blessing because we both worked

409
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: from home. So when that weekend have is coming up,

410
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: I almost get excited about it because a lot of

411
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: times things have definitely changed. Yeah, it's funny when you

412
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: talked about those early years with us. I remember one

413
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: particularly um traumatic event when I was working in California

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: still and I was going to get to come home

415
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: for a weekend. I think it was, and I'm assuming

416
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, I was out there in California,

417
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: you lived in Michigan, and we hadn't seen each other

418
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: in like a month or two or something like that,

419
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: and I was coming home and like November, and I'm

420
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: pretty sure you thought at this point we've been dating,

421
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: like just about a year. I think, um, I imagine

422
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: you were thinking he's gonna come home have a really

423
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: nice romantic weekend with me, and instead I told you

424
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: us coming home and go hunting for the weekend, and

425
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: you were not having that, And I just couldn't understand

426
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: why you're upset at me. I remember sitting at work

427
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: and talking to my co workers and like, Kylie's all

428
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: upset at me because I want to go hunting, but

429
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: it's the only time of year I can go hunting,

430
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and I don't get it. But you were probably thinking

431
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: the same thing. Do you remember that? Yeah? I remember

432
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: that because I remember you wanted me to drive up

433
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: to Green Rapids. I think, and just and I'm like,

434
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? Just hang out with

435
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: your mom? Like, well, you're hunting on and I think

436
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: it might have ended up coming up there, but literally,

437
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: like I'm the way up. I think I like headed

438
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: home initially, and then I talked myself into like, fine,

439
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: I'll just go up there, and I'm sure I pold

440
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: it the whole time I was up there about Well,

441
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: do you remember that I did get a buck that weekend,

442
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: so see, I don't even remember that, so it's well,

443
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: so there you go. It shows how you remember the

444
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: emotions of the weekend and I remember the fact I

445
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: shot a deer. Oh man. But I guess you know, Ashley,

446
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: how about you? I know things are a little bit

447
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: different with your situation with Core than me and Kylie's

448
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: right now. Um, but what about you? Was that a

449
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: challenge when you get started? And where do you guys

450
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: stand today with it? Um? Actually, I'd say it was

451
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: not a challenge at first. Um. If anything, I feel

452
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: like it was easier because we lived in Iowa, So

453
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: for me, it was at our door stuff. I mean,

454
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: if he wanted to go hunting, he could just go.

455
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't and we did. We still don't

456
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: have children, but at the time we didn't obviously, And um,

457
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: I will say that plays a big role. And I'm

458
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: sure things change when you have children, and that is

459
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: one of them that it's not that it changes, it's

460
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: just adds another element to it. But um, as far

461
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: as that goes, I would say, at first it was

462
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot easier. Now it's changed because it's the real

463
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: world for us. I mean, now we've been in UM,

464
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Michigan for four years and UM with work. Corey, as

465
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, is a hig factor and so having a

466
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: practice and in having the demands of owning something like

467
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: that and not working home or something, it just changes

468
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: your schedule so much. And yeah, so I would definitely

469
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: say that it's a lot more challenging now, not not

470
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: as far as the want or the will or the

471
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: drive just still hunt, mostly reality as far as work

472
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: in life and things that come up. Now, what about

473
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: for you though, now that he when he does want

474
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: to go hunt, he's gone for a week in Ohio

475
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: or Iowa? Is that How do you feel about him

476
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: being gone for that long? Do you like it? Are

477
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: you upset when he's gone? Are you bummed when he's gone?

478
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I kind of like

479
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: it now. I look forward to it because Kylie and

480
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: I can do some things, and I don't know, I

481
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: really do like it because of the time of year.

482
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: I really enjoy the time of year myself. It's probably

483
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: my favorite season. So I do a lot of things

484
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: um apart and separate from Corey, I have habbies as well,

485
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: So it doesn't necessarily it doesn't really bother me. Um,

486
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I do. I like it when he's gone

487
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: a little bit. I will say when it comes to

488
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: the vacation planning though, because of the limited time I

489
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: feel like we have now as far as between hunting

490
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: and then maybe vacationing. Um, it gets frustrating when you're

491
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: discussing the tiny year because I will say one of

492
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: the things that we will possibly argue about is the

493
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: time of year. Of course, hunting is the same time

494
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: every year, so I've often said so pretty much, I

495
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: can never schedule any kind of trips in the fall

496
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: through you know the whine and even really I feel

497
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: like shed hunting is another big thing. Um. We both

498
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoy shed hunting, and so that's really something that

499
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: is awfu limits as far as time of year. So

500
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: that really probably the biggest chares is planning the hunting

501
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: with family time, you know, vacation actual vacationing. So so

502
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: I want to get back to that. Um, But I

503
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: just thought of something that I want to throw at you.

504
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: He real quick, Ashley. We just talked before you and

505
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: kind of got in the line about our Ohio trip

506
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: that me and Corey took and the fact that he

507
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: shot a really, really really nice eight pointer down Ohio.

508
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: But rumor has it, rumor has it that you're trying

509
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: to tell him he shouldn't get it mounted. Is that true?

510
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: And why would you say that? Oh, yes, let's break

511
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: this rumor. Um. I neuber One have never said yes

512
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: or no to Corey towards any of molatin that has

513
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: been done recently, because he's been hunting for quite some time. UM,

514
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: we were trying to put some um guidelines on shoulder

515
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: mounting or otherwise because of the space that we have. UM.

516
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: We it's not that we're lacking a lot of space. UM.

517
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: But let's face it, Corey is a trophy white tailed hunter.

518
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: So he's not necessarily going to be taking a hundred

519
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: class white tail if he has the choice, of course. So, um,

520
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: which of course he has the choice. I so no,

521
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I did not say he cannot mount this nice eight

522
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: point in book. I simply said, what's our what's the

523
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: guy lanes? We had kind of discussed and he said, well,

524
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: we were talking about mounting it, you know, if it

525
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: was a hundred or more, and this falls into about

526
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I think the one thirty class. So that was where

527
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: the hardship was of course he wants to know everything

528
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: because he values everything and I do too. Um, but

529
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: like I said, if he hunts for the rest of

530
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: his life, we will literally have hundreds. It seems like

531
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: a mount. So the discussion of whether he is or

532
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: is not mounting it. He is mounting the buck. Um,

533
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: he's mounting the buck. I never said him no, It

534
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: was simply a discussion that we had about it. If

535
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: there should be a guideline, as you know, one, what

536
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: what is reasonable to mount? What is reasonable to do

537
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: a European mount or or something? I said. So sounds

538
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: to me like you guys need to get a bigger

539
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: house for more wall space or build an addition, right, Yeah,

540
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean actually doing the things that like when you

541
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: are standing for you inquire looking at the same wall.

542
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: How somehow Corey thinks you can fit like fifteen shoulder

543
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: mounts and you're like, okay, maybe like marked of that

544
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: with our wall. He liked, we could get tog on

545
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: this wall. I'm like, what where? Like I said, you understand,

546
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: but unless destore their perception or something. Yeah, definitely, most definitely.

547
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: Actually we have a decent ice house, I would say,

548
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: And um, we definitely have the room as far as

549
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: where he's been putting them for a aisle. Um, it

550
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: has actually brought up, like Corey to me, whether you

551
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: know he should or should not mount it, and that's

552
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: kind of and not this one in particular, but there

553
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: was one that he mounted years ago. Um, I think

554
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: he's looked at and he's like me, and you know,

555
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: I really shouldn't amount of that. And I said to him,

556
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: was like, well, at the time it was what you

557
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: considered trophy because at the time he had only ever

558
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: lived in Michigan And I'm not discounting Michigan and saying

559
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: that that was his experience. He had never hunted out

560
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: of state. So um, that's where the conversation stemmed, was

561
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: should I or shouldn't I mount this? And yes, I agree, Kylie.

562
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: And we can be leaking at the same wall and

563
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, on, and I can put sixteen more

564
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: up there? Yeah, maybe five, they're quite large. Story. Well,

565
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta realize that when it comes to

566
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: who really are the expert into your decorators in the family,

567
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: me and Corey probably take the cake there, don't you

568
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: think so we would know. But but in all honesty.

569
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Ashley, you do have a lot of kitchen

570
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: wall space, and I know your living room has a

571
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: little wall space, and I think that sundroom you could

572
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: stick another twelve the fifteen. Um, so let's just be

573
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: greative here, you know. Yeah, yeah, when he had one restriction,

574
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: he was probably talking about a ten point or two.

575
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: So that just drops ten inches for the eight pointer,

576
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: which you know, you see, this is a standard that

577
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: we actually had this conversation with actually and Kylie on

578
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve and we said this, We said ten point,

579
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: but if it's an eight point hundred and thirty, so

580
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: thank you. I didn't coach Dan on that either, that's

581
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: just him just saying that. So so so Dan, what

582
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: what do you have for the girls? All right, so

583
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's go back into the future or whatever,

584
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: and uh when when you guys were started dating your

585
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: husband's I'm gonna tell a quick story about I had

586
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: a relationship with a girl and I told her, yeah,

587
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm a hunter in the fall and whatever, and I wasn't.

588
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: I didn't go into detail about it. I just told her, hey,

589
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm a serious hunter and I go out in the fall.

590
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: So after every every weekend in October and November and

591
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: two two weeks straight off in um November. She she

592
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: was like, you need to stay home where you need

593
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: to do this, and started um, and she didn't understand that.

594
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I got to her and

595
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: that that was probably my fault now with my current wife,

596
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: right before we started dating, before we made it official,

597
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: I sat down with her and I told her I

598
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: am a serious hunter. And when I mean serious, I

599
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: mean you may not see me in October or November. Um,

600
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disappear. I'm gonna go do this crazy stuff

601
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: out in the woods and I'm gonna sit in a

602
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: tree for a long periods of time. And and she's like, yeah, okay,

603
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it, because you know you want to

604
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: you want to seem interested at first when you like

605
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: these new people in their hobbies and stuff. So I said,

606
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you get it. So I had to

607
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: sit her down again, right right in that same room,

608
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: and I was like this, listen, this is your chance

609
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: to leave because I am I am obsessed with this

610
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: and so I'm kind of curious and Kayleie, you can

611
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: start this out. How did how did the quote unquote

612
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: talk go. Did did Mark break the talk to you?

613
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I we totally missed that.

614
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: And for those of you that don't know Mark before,

615
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: where he looked like straight out of like an amber

616
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Coambie store, like all right, that's recorded, that just recorded,

617
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: that's that's on the records, like a super pretty boy

618
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: city boy. Like when I started talking, you've just gotten

619
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: that from New York and you know you were marketing

620
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: me there, so I was, you know, I didn't really

621
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: know you were like, yeah, I'm Hunter, Hunter, and I

622
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: don't think we ever you would like sat me down

623
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, look, this is what I'm gonna be gone.

624
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: It was just like slowly accumulating more and more. And

625
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: then I mean when you went to California, like you

626
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: had mentioned, that was like the end of it. So

627
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: you were when you were gone for that long, you

628
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: came back and it was like to me, it was like,

629
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: holy cow, you've done like a one eight. You went

630
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: from like oh yeah, I Hunt so like living and

631
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: reading it. And part of that was because the blog

632
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: really started to take off a way or to Hunt

633
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: really started to take off when you were out there.

634
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: So you came back and you know, with this new

635
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: passion and this new interest in it. But yeah, I

636
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: know you you totally. I didn't get to sit down

637
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: and talk that Dan gave his life. I guess I

638
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: got chipped on that one. Mark. I just think you

639
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: weren't listening hun did you do? So? Was it a

640
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: shot to you when you realized how much time he

641
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: was to be away from you? For sure? Yeah, definitely,

642
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: because like I said, I mean, my dad would hunt,

643
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: but when you're a child and you see that, it's like,

644
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it was like he'd walk out

645
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: in the backyard for you know, two or three hours

646
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: a night. But then when you look at the level

647
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: that you guys are doing it, where it's you know,

648
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: you're planning a week and a half long trips and

649
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: and and Dan, you went out west too, so that's

650
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: a whole I guess not out west for you, but

651
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: you did the I want to do hunt this year

652
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. So when you add that too to just

653
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: wait till deer hunting, it's it's another week. So it's

654
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: a whole another level that I would not not familiar with.

655
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: What about you, Ashley? Uh No, I did not get

656
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: the talk Um. However, when I went to um, Corey's

657
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: parents house, actually his old room so to speak, because

658
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: he started dating when um we were in college as well.

659
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: UM literally was shoulder amounts. The entire room was shoulder

660
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: a mound his bucks pretty much. And I walked in

661
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: and like, Corey there, UM, like over your bed, and

662
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: He's like, what are you talking about? That's like normal.

663
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: And that's when I really realized how much. I mean,

664
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: it just was in my face. Um. And then that's

665
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: when I it just clicked. I'm like, yeah, this is

666
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: his this is his thing. My mom used day. Every

667
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: man has a thing, whether it be golfing, whether it

668
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: be hunting, whether it be you know, don't you name it.

669
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: If they have it, that's what they're gonna do. Um. So,

670
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: but I will say the shock for me was when

671
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: he chose, when he chose the state that he was

672
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: going to go to graduate school, and and why he

673
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: was going there. I mean, it was of course again

674
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: because it was a great school, but be honest, the

675
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: reality was it was in Iowa. So that was ultimately

676
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: and from my perspective, the deciding factor. Um, I don't know,

677
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: it just really didn't shock me, but I didn't get

678
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: that talk either, and I was okay with that. I

679
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: would say, but I would say women, I don't know,

680
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: not all women, but if if they if they stay

681
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: around you for a while or its hunting, um, men

682
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: go likely would I would say, if they're with you

683
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: during that time and they stick with you through that time,

684
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: likely they know it and they're probably going to be

685
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more cooperative than others. So I've got

686
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: another addendum to this. Then, for all the we'll say

687
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: the guys listening and girls, UM, for anyone who is

688
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: you know, not in a relationship right now but might

689
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: be getting into one soon, would you recommend that they

690
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: have the talk with their significant other or UM? To

691
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: your point, Ashley, is it better just to give them

692
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: time to get used to you and see your thing first,

693
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: and then you know, have them kind of realize that

694
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: by um, by virtue just spending time with you. Uh.

695
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: And I guess Ashley. Let's continue your thoughts on that

696
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: and then we'll go to kinda mm hmm. It's hard

697
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: to say, because I believe every woman is different in

698
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: our expectations of a new relationship are different. UM with

699
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: with us, for example, I knew that we would be

700
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: waiting a while to have children. I was ever one

701
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: to jump the gun on that and say let's have

702
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: kids right away. And that also allowed for more time, um,

703
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: more personal time on each end. So I would say,

704
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: feel the other one out for it, and then if

705
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: you feel it's necessary to have the talk, have it.

706
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: But I really can get show as an action. I

707
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: mean you can say a lot of things and still

708
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: not grasped it. I mean, honestly, even if core, even

709
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: if I hated hated hunting, which I do not at all,

710
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: let's say I did, it still much changed the fact

711
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: that I loved him. So I do believe you are

712
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: you really have to swallow it. If you're if you

713
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: are going to marry somebody, and you're gonna be in

714
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: a relationship with somebody if that is their thing. As

715
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: a guy, you have to decide if it's something that

716
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: you're willing to put up with or not. And I

717
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: mean you put up with in every aspect, the time away, uh,

718
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: the investment itself. Um. But I do think it depends

719
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: on on the the girl or the guy. Okay, So Kylie,

720
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: what do you think should should somebody start with the talker? No?

721
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like actually said ever girls

722
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: different from my point of view, I think if you

723
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: would have like sat me down and you know, tried

724
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: to have this really like serious conversation about deer hunting

725
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: that really on, I would have wounded my girlfriends and

726
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: been like what and the hell like he just tried

727
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: to down and counsel me about deer hunting, Like I

728
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: probably would have been a little like I don't know anymore.

729
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: So I think Ashley, but you gotta kind of us

730
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: into it maybe. And again that's from my perspective. And

731
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you know they're supportive of hunting

732
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: or they get it, because I think that's a big

733
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: part of it too. A lot of people were around

734
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: it growing up or they don't have any idea and

735
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: a lot of times hunting is, you know, view it

736
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: is so negative in today's society. I think you just

737
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: really need to make sure that before you talk about

738
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: your interesting hunting that they fully understand, you know, what

739
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: what does it mean to hunt? What does it mean

740
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: to hunt to you and try and portray it in

741
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: the right life. Yeah, wise words, wise words hunt. So

742
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: I now want to ask you, as a tough question,

743
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be tough because there's so

744
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: many different answers. I think you're just going to be

745
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: struggling to come up with the right to choose the

746
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: right one because there's just a lot um. But I

747
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: want to know, what do you think is the best

748
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: thing about being married to a serious hunter, Kylie? What

749
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: do you think? Um? Can I say two things? Does

750
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: that count? I would say, Um, probably the best thing,

751
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: ironically is the time apart. I think I think it

752
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: helps our relationship and all honesty, and I know you

753
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: struggle with it, but sometimes I'm like, I don't want

754
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: to talk to you on the phone when you're gone,

755
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: because it's so nice when you come back. It's like

756
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: you're starting fresh, like you have so much to talk about,

757
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: you're excited to see each other. So I think, just

758
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: one of the good things I pay, can I just

759
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: jump in a really quick time out on that. You

760
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: know you say you say that you don't like to

761
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: talk that much on the phone, and so then I

762
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: don't call you because I call you every night when

763
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm on a hunting trip, and then you talk to

764
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: me like two minutes, and then I don't really like

765
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: talking on the phone. So then when I stopped calling

766
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: you though, because you just told me you don't like

767
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: talking on the phone, then you get mad at me

768
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: because I didn't call you. All right, let's remember this

769
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: is a deer hunting show. This is not all I

770
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: need is a nice text that shows me or think

771
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: of me. But two is you've spent the entire day

772
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: in a tree, Like what, like, what do we have

773
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: to talk about? Okay, pointer, I saw seven dough had

774
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: a close call with everything online, but really, you know

775
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: on the story, I can see everything online, so I know.

776
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: But anyway, so back to the point being apart, Like

777
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: I said, I think it kind of helps your relationship,

778
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, revitalize the things. You're more excited, you have

779
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: more to talk about. And then the other thing would

780
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: be the food is a big plus for me. Um,

781
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: we don't mind any red meat right now. We you know,

782
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: fully live off Bennison and I really enjoy cooking it

783
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: and trying different recipes. And I think it's just cool

784
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: to say that. Um, you know, we're living off with

785
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: meat that you harvest, So yeah, yeah, good stuff. What

786
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: about you, Ashley? I would definitely agree with Kylie and

787
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: the time away and the anticipation of being together. And

788
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: then actually I would say, um, the anticipation for your spots,

789
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 1: like for in my case Cory, Um, like when he

790
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: had just talked to me before he went out hunting

791
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: when he was down in Ohio. And then if you

792
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: get a call earlier than expected and he staidy got

793
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: one and just it's so excited for him. Um. And

794
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: I would say the support because I don't I just

795
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: feel like that is something that bonds you maybe um,

796
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, and the food as well. There's so many

797
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: different things, but those are the top. Definitely the bonding

798
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: I would say of that, the anticipation of the time

799
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: away a long time, and then um, of course the

800
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: food definitely. Yeah. So then on the other hand, and

801
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe we already talked about this a

802
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: little bit, maybe there's something different, um, But if those

803
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: are the best things, what are the worst things? Um?

804
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: And I'll go back to you, Kylie uh the time

805
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: of part I think and that's why I said it

806
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: was a little ironic in the first response. I I

807
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: think probably a week and a half in and one

808
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: of your podcasts, I think you talked about this and

809
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: and Dan you mentioned that it had been a week

810
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: and a half and your wife was finally like, I'm

811
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: over at. And I think that's really the point where

812
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: it's like and I'm over at. Like it was fun

813
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: at first, I had my time, like now you need

814
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: to come home. And for me, it's you know, I'm

815
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: sick of doing everything by myself type of thing, so

816
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, taking out the traction and doing all the

817
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: things that you're supposed to be doing. And I can't

818
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: even imagine when we have kids and that solely weighing

819
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: on my shoulders to take care of the kids too

820
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: while you're gone. I think that's probably the worst part

821
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: of it. Or if and I think you were gone

822
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: once and like our pipes would throw or something happened,

823
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: we had like a huge snow storm and I was

824
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: stuck at the house. I couldn't get out. Um, stuff

825
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: like that is what makes you being gone difficult? Yeah, yeah,

826
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: that's sustandable. And Ashley, are you still on the same thing?

827
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that stands out to you? Um?

828
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: You know, I'm definitely in the same page. But there's

829
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: just one of taking that just drives me crazy. And

830
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: the statement about well hunt hunting comes once a year.

831
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: No no, no no no no no no no no.

832
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: Hunting to a true hunter is never once a year.

833
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: It is a season, of course, but then there's shed season,

834
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: and then there's turkey season, so yes, it's as far

835
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: as white tail those, yes, there's the season. However, there

836
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: are many other seasons if you are somebody that hunts

837
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: other animals. So that argument and definitely with Kylie with

838
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: the at home responsibilities, the everyday life. Um. And you

839
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: know the other thing is even now Corey will spend hours,

840
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: countless hours to the evenings on his phone on the

841
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: g I s looking at aerial views of Google maps

842
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: of properties and land who owns one? Yes, oh my gosh,

843
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: Like that hasn't been actually a point of contention for us,

844
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: because it's not that I don't want him to do it,

845
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not kidding you. I mean he will literally

846
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: spend his evening doing that, and I feel like I've

847
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: seen him, so that would be the other Has there

848
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: has there ever been a point, um with with you

849
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: ladies that it has gotten to like almost a tipping

850
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: point or a breaking point, And maybe you can, um,

851
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: actually you can start and maybe explain what led up

852
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: to that you need the breaking point of like it was,

853
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: it was gonna get You're gonna get pissed. You know,

854
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily a mild tempered person. So there's been

855
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: a few of means, and I'm slightly blunt. I would

856
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: say a lot of my friends with Dan blonde, hopefully

857
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: in a loving way, but I was. And so yeah,

858
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: definitely there's been many points because Corey, like I said,

859
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: not only does he have me as his wife, as

860
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: as far as responsibility has a practice, and then hunting

861
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: it is a big priority to him, and I would

862
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: definitely say hunting is almost number one, if not number one.

863
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: Um to give a specific instance, I don't feel like

864
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: I have one specific instance except recently Corey. It went

865
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: to Ohio. UM, and he not this last time he

866
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: got his luck, but the time before, and he actually

867
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: had gotten sick down there. UM. Obviously not his fault

868
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: that he had gotten sick, but it was something that

869
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: I ended up having to take time off of work

870
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: and um basically go with his mom actually to help

871
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: me to meet him and bring him back. They end

872
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: up having to take n at the hospital and other events.

873
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: So not that that's the source and reason he got sick.

874
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: But again, just one more thing. I mean, as far

875
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: as the hunting and life and then work, and he

876
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: took off work and yet actually had to miss more

877
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: work because of it. And not that that's all bad,

878
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: but as far as um having a patient road that

879
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: he has to um service every day, it definitely made

880
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: it hard. And then on top of of course the

881
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: house things and life and and yeah. Now, now my

882
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: question to you, Kylie is that if this is just

883
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of I guess a different angle to

884
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: the same question. But if Mark was still working at

885
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: Google and didn't make any money from Wired to Hunt

886
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: and he there's no such thing to Wired to Hunt,

887
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: he was working full time at Google. Still, would you

888
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: be as understanding and as patient as you are now

889
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: knowing that there's no extra income coming in. That's a

890
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: tough question. I mean again, was what Mark says. It

891
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: was so foreign to me to even think of, you know,

892
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: when he first came to me and was like, you know,

893
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: eventually I want to quit a job and do this,

894
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: and like do what Like it was so far um.

895
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it plays into each other. So

896
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: saying he was still, you know, working at Google, I

897
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: don't think his hunting would be as intense as it

898
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: is now, so it would probably be a little bit

899
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: easier for me to handle. But since he's not unemployed

900
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: or work in the nine to five, it's far more

901
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: intense than the average guy thinks. So it can be

902
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit rush rising now that

903
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: it's his his job. But I will say I'm probably

904
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: harder on him now that it's his job, and I

905
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: think I put a lot of pressure on him for things,

906
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, in addition to the pressure that he puts

907
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: on himself. Um, like this year he waited until the

908
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 1: last minute to get a doll but I was really

909
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: hard on him about it and giving him a hard

910
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: time that you know, this is this is why you quit.

911
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: This is their food, and that I'm definitely harder on

912
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: him as far as results I think now that this

913
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: is his full time gig. Yeah, that's crazy because my

914
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: wife has never said to me or will ever say

915
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: to me, I think you should go hunting. Yeah, I'm

916
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: fortunate that with that, And uh, you know something, when

917
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: you're bringing that up, Kylie, you know to the fact,

918
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: you do put a little extra pressure on me. But

919
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: that's a good thing because I appreciate the fact that you,

920
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: um you, you always challenged me, like I put a

921
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on myself and channels myself, but you're

922
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: a really good partner in that and continue to me

923
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: push towards those goals. You know. For example, last year,

924
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: as a lot of people know, um, I've been hunting

925
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: like crazy and was starting to slow down a little

926
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: bit in mid December, was getting a little bit down

927
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: on my luck. And I hunted like four days in

928
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: a row and had close calls but just couldn't quite

929
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: pull it off. And on the fifth day I was like,

930
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the day off, and that one

931
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: day you were like, no, you gotta get out there

932
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: and hunt. And I did, and I killed six shooter

933
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: and big Buck I was after. So I mean, that's

934
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That's pretty cool to have them. So again,

935
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's unique in that it's your job.

936
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: So it's like the same aspect is when you get

937
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: up in the morning and you don't want to you know,

938
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: drive to work. It's like you get up and you

939
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: don't want to go hunting. So for me, it's like no,

940
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, Like this is why you know, quit

941
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: the nine to five you have to go yeah, which

942
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: is which isn't too too bad of a deal for me.

943
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: I kind of like that. So I've got another question.

944
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: I know you have both dealt with this in different ways,

945
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: so I'm curious to hear on what you have to

946
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: say here. But when you you know, you're at work

947
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: or you're with friends and you're talking to them, and

948
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: eventually the topic of your husband is brought up, and

949
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: they what does your husband like to do for fun?

950
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: Or where is he this week? Why are you home alone?

951
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: I imagine I'm curious. You know, do your friends or

952
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: co workers are they bewildered when you tell them what

953
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: your husband is doing? And you know, how do you

954
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: explain it? And what do they say to that? Ashley,

955
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your thoughts on that first m hm. Yes,

956
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: when um, there's one other woman that I work with

957
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: who completely understands her Her husband is as much like

958
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: you guys as far as hunting um, So it's like

959
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: second nature to talk to her and I tend to

960
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: gravitate to her um when discussing some of these topics.

961
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: And and also, you know, if i I'm frustrated with something,

962
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: but definitely my boss is like, you do what? Why

963
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: does he go? Where? Um? What is this? Why? Really

964
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even cares, but sometimes to

965
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: ask questions, I think he does. And when I had

966
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,959
Speaker 1: mentioned that we were going to shed hunt, he said

967
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: shed what? And mind you, he has an extremely intelligent man.

968
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, uh, bucks have the antlers

969
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: and they follow they shed every you know, early spring,

970
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: late winter. And he's like, so you literally walk around

971
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: to find them? And I said essentially yeah, And he's like, well,

972
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: that has to be kind of I mean, that wouldn't

973
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: be too hard about it. I mean there's a lot

974
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: of deer and I'm like, uh no, it's extremely difficult.

975
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like he just looks, you know,

976
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: two steps didn't find it. So I would say that

977
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: it is a little bit difficult to explain. And when

978
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: I when I start to explain something, I always tried

979
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: to feel around for their perspective to begin with about

980
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: hunting before I go into much detail. Um, I would

981
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: say that would be the key of it would be

982
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: to get their perspective a little bit, making sure that

983
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: they understand listening and then and then go there. If

984
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: if the conversation leads to it. Okay, Kylie, what about

985
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: your view and anything like that. Yeah, my last job,

986
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were foreign to the

987
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: concept of hunting. And I think the biggest confusing that

988
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: I saw was that if they live in a subdivision

989
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: on the outskirts of town and they'll see, you know,

990
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: twenty deer in their backyard at night. So the challenge,

991
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: they're like, what's the challenge, like telling me can just

992
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: come to my house and shoot a deer for exactly

993
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: like they as they don't understand the challenge and you know,

994
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: the age and the standards and things like that. Um.

995
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: But actually a good point the shed hunting thing that

996
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: I think confuses people more than the actual hunting, Like

997
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: they get killing in the animal to you know, harvesting.

998
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: But when you can talk about going to work first,

999
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: you know, where are people who are like, well, what

1000
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: do you do with um? That? Like what right? That is? Yeah,

1001
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: We've mean Dan have talked about that before too. There's

1002
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: usually a lot of confusion around that. Um, all right,

1003
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: so I want to kind of take a little bit

1004
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: different look at things, and something we talked about we

1005
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: kind of passed on. Dan mentioned it Um, but I

1006
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: just took a look at our Facebook page where some

1007
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 1: of our listeners have been posting questions, and here's a question,

1008
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: um that I want to throw out there, and this

1009
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: could turn ugly. I'm not sure how this is going

1010
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: to go because we actually haven't we haven't really had

1011
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: this conversation yet. Um, but I want to put it

1012
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: out here and see where this goes. UM. Bobby McDougal

1013
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: I believe is his name, He asked, if and when

1014
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: children are part of the Kenyon picture, will you, Kylie

1015
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: expect Mark to reduce his time in the tree stand?

1016
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: And then Mark, what do you think? So I'll put

1017
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 1: that to you, Kylie, when we have kids. If we

1018
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: have kids, what's the what's going to happen? Yo? I

1019
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: mean we've we've kind of had this conversation. We definitely

1020
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: know when we're ready to start trying that we don't

1021
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: want it today to fall during hunting season. Um. I

1022
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: mean I think we're aware of that. In regards to

1023
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: the amount of time spent. I don't think that's something

1024
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: that you can predict. I think we're gonna have to

1025
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: work on it as we go. Um. Maybe they haven't

1026
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: got some good advice. I think the biggest challenge that

1027
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: will come when your kids get a little bit older

1028
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: and they have activities. I think that's my concern. So

1029
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, say we have a son and he plays football,

1030
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: and you know, Mark's gone every year during homecoming or

1031
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: something like that. I think that's when it's going to

1032
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: become more of a challenge for us to work on

1033
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: balancing it and just making sure that the kids aren't

1034
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: negatively impacted by you being gone for extended periods. Yeah.

1035
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: But the thing is that our kids not going to

1036
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: be allowed to play football is that falls during hunting season,

1037
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: so that won't be an issue. Oh but uh but yeah,

1038
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: you know that is gonna be It is gonna be

1039
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: a challenge because you know, as we've talked about, and

1040
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: as everyone who listens to this knows, I'm very very

1041
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: serious about this. And then on top of that, right,

1042
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: it's my career. Um. So you know, if you talk

1043
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: to anyone who works Raylar nine five, for most guys,

1044
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: they wouldn't stop working there five because they had a child.

1045
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: They might need to change a little bit what they

1046
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: do on the on the either side of the nine

1047
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: to five they did off to work that so I

1048
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: think I'm still gonna have to do my quote unquote

1049
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: nine to five. But to your point, Kylie, I'm gonna

1050
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: have to start finding different ways to make sure I make,

1051
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, myself available in the ways I need to

1052
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: be to be a good father. Um. And like you said,

1053
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: we'll work through that as we go through them. And

1054
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, as we work through things to

1055
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: this point, I know we can do that, you know

1056
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: when when kids getting the picture. But you know, I

1057
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a challenge. I know, Dan, that's

1058
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: something you struggle with and I'm sure everybody does. UM.

1059
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: I think another thing that's important and that you know

1060
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 1: was passed on to me by my dad and his dad,

1061
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: is the importance of getting your kids involved, so as

1062
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: soon as you can, getting them out there as much

1063
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: as possible. I know that. You know, my grandpa went

1064
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: hunting all the time, you know, back in the day,

1065
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: and he had my dad and my uncle and my

1066
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: aunt out there with him when they were like four

1067
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: years old, every hunt, sitting out there and extra tree

1068
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: with him. And um, you know, I plan to do

1069
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: that as much as I possibly can with my potential

1070
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: future children too. UM. So that's something that will be interesting.

1071
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: I think that's for sure. I think one thing that

1072
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: you hadn't thought of is how much you're going to

1073
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: miss your children. So I think you know and thinking

1074
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: to you, it's just like, Okay, yeah, i'll have a

1075
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: kid and i'll leave, but I think you'll understimate the

1076
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: amount that you'll actually miss and miss your kids. You

1077
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head, absolutely, you get the

1078
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: nail on the head there. I when I went out

1079
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: to Nebraska, I was out there for five days, and

1080
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: I'll like missing like that was the biggest thing, was

1081
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: missing my daughter. And yeah I missed my wife too,

1082
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: but it was it was, it was, it became hard.

1083
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: It was on my It was almost like it affected

1084
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: my hunting because I was thinking about my daughter so much.

1085
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: M hmm. I think I don't know, I and I'm

1086
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: speaking and maybe I shouldn't, but I'm speaking for women

1087
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: in general right now. I think the other thing that's

1088
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: hard with with hunters is then the idea that hunters

1089
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: are tend to be selfish with the hunting season. Um,

1090
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: because I would agree with that, and their argument is, well,

1091
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: it comes one heavy here and exactly what Corey just

1092
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: or what Kylie just said, Corey and I had talked about.

1093
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: I would hope that it would be something that UM

1094
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: would be on your mind. Obviously would be missing your

1095
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: family too, so hopefully that would balanced out any challenge

1096
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: or you know, arguments in the future of that, because

1097
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: it is One concern I have is that when we

1098
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: do have children, where is that going to fall into play?

1099
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: And then also, UM, how do you tell your kiding,

1100
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: like Kylie said, when they get older there and maybe

1101
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: sports or something, how do you feel, well, you know

1102
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: your dad's not hearing now because he's hunting. How does

1103
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: that fall into play with UM priorities for that child?

1104
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you can say that, but it doesn't mean

1105
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: that they're going to understand and maybe feel like, well,

1106
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not as important as hunting UM for you, Mark,

1107
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: because it is your your career now, that's gonna play

1108
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: a little different for you than it with maybe Corey

1109
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: and I. But UM, definitely, Kylie hit the nail on

1110
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: the head there with how much you're really going to

1111
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: miss them and what and like you said, want to

1112
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: share it with them. But when they're young, it's probably

1113
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge. I think I think that

1114
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: this is probably one of those topics and challenges. This

1115
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: it's sort of a defining moment for a lot of

1116
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: serious hunters, and I haven't gotten gotten to that point really.

1117
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: I've gone through the marriage stage, but I haven't started

1118
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: a family with children yet. But I think, Dan, I'm

1119
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: sure you want. You know, as we've discussed, you have

1120
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: gone through this, and I'm sure lots of other people

1121
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: out there they go through this phase of being super

1122
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: gung ho hunter and then eventually a family comes in

1123
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: and as you guys have all mentioned, priorities start becoming

1124
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: a conversation that you need to have and you need

1125
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: to figure out where the you know, how your prior

1126
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: to stack up. And of course I think, Um, you

1127
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: know it's important for family to be, you know, your

1128
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: most important priority. UM. So that's something that I'm I'm

1129
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: sure you know. We'll be discussing on word to hunt

1130
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: over the coming years as I start experiencing these things,

1131
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: and Dan, is your experience continues to change and evolve.

1132
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll have interesting things to hear about this.

1133
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: But it's interesting to hear your guys perspective too. From

1134
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the female side of things, UM, and Uh, and yeah,

1135
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna make I don't care what anybody says. I

1136
01:01:54,840 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says. Children change everything everything. It is.

1137
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: It is Uh, it's like a punch to the nuts

1138
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: of life. I'm serious, and it is. It is a

1139
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: wake up call. And I I thought, you know, my

1140
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: wife was pregnant, and I was just like, oh, this

1141
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: is so beautiful. We're gonna have a baby. I'm so excited.

1142
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: And then the first and second, maybe even third week

1143
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: in where I got like a combined seven hours of

1144
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: sleep in three weeks. That's your wake up call. And

1145
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: and and that is wowser's that's a whole another topic.

1146
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: You're quiet, Yeah, you're you're scaring me, Dan oh Man. Okay, Um, well,

1147
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: let's let's move on from the baby topic. Um. So,

1148
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I've got two more things I wanted to bring up

1149
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: because we are running down on time here, Um, Dan,

1150
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: do you have something you wanna want to shoot out

1151
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: there first or do you want me to go ahead

1152
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: with the next couple and you can stew on one more? Well,

1153
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: I got one here. Um, I think I'll save it

1154
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: for last. Go ahead, Mark, all right, So I know

1155
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: I think you guys have numerous stories you can bring

1156
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: up for this one, but I'm curious what is the

1157
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: remote What do you think is the most ridiculous thing

1158
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: that your husband has done for or related to deer hunting? Um?

1159
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I can think of a few things that

1160
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: I've done that you might bring up, Kylie, but I'm

1161
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: curious to know what you guys think the most ridiculous

1162
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: thing we've done is related to it. Maybe it's the

1163
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: amount of time we put into something, or what we

1164
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: did for something. I'm not sure what. But Ashley, is

1165
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: there something that comes to mind when it comes to this? Mhm,

1166
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: the good question? Something ridiculous? Well, at first, you know,

1167
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm also become desensitize everything, so nothing surprises me anymore.

1168
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Nothing to me is odd. But one thing that that

1169
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Corey used to do and still does, Um, I don't

1170
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: think he's adamant about it now, but he would. I

1171
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: don't know if I should be sharing this, but he

1172
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: would he would purposefully eat an apple before he left,

1173
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and then he would take he would like, take it

1174
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: with him and then rub it on the soles of

1175
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: his boots sometimes. And because he's such a control freak,

1176
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: I am like, what are you doing, and he's like,

1177
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I swear it works every time. And I mean I

1178
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: will say Corey has had you know, has been blessed

1179
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: to be able to take in some of the diaries taken.

1180
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Um that's one thing, but you know, not anything else

1181
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: that really comes to mind. Maybe his face paint looks

1182
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: a little excessive. I mean it's funny to me. I

1183
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: mean it's face say, and some of the things that

1184
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I just laugh about. But like I said, I almost

1185
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I've become de sensitized with some of

1186
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: his quirks. Maybe, um, but he's very very particular with

1187
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: with sentence control, I mean sessively almost annoyingly so um.

1188
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: But not that I disagree with it. Yeah, I would

1189
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: say those two things. You know. I gotta say, though,

1190
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: you need, you need to come down horror on him Ashley,

1191
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: because this past weekend he got dressed in some of

1192
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: his hunting clothes in the hotel room and I looked

1193
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,959
Speaker 1: at him like, dang, Corey, what are you doing getting

1194
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot? Yeah, make sure you give him

1195
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: what for I will because that he would have shot

1196
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: me if I ever went with and I did that.

1197
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he would have just I would not have

1198
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: been allowed to go. So, Kylie, what about you? Is

1199
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: there anything you could possibly think of that I've done

1200
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: this ridiculous And like you said, I'm sure there's tons

1201
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: and tons of stories. Um, I mean probably awful. Ashley said,

1202
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: I've gone honey with you a couple of times, and

1203
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: like the process to get out there, like it is ridiculous,

1204
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Like watching my you like SPRA you don't have to

1205
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: explained me in the face before, like like you're just

1206
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: very like you take ot D to like a whole

1207
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: new level with it. Yeah. Um, and map when I'm filming,

1208
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: you'll be like, come to deer, so I like go

1209
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 1: to grab the camera and you're like like I don't

1210
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: understand that. So hey, that's a cameraman thing though, that's

1211
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: not just a life thing. That's a cameraman thing. Yeah.

1212
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say the sun stuff, and you know,

1213
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: just sometimes when you're like getting ready to go out

1214
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, the wind is here, and maybe

1215
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: if I like really crawl in here and like roll

1216
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: down this hill and then climb up this one. Sure,

1217
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: it's like really like just go hunting. Well, you know,

1218
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: I've got there's a method to my madness, Kylie, there's

1219
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: a method to the man. You know. Another thing I

1220
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: thought of, um well, I thought was pretty funny was

1221
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: one of the times you ever went hunting with me.

1222
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 1: Right along with this is we're in Illinois and you

1223
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: were coming up to fill me. And when I told

1224
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: you that you had to wash your hair a special

1225
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: shampoo and didn't have conditioner, You're just about quit right

1226
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: then and there. Well, and then you don't understand because

1227
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: you guys don't have long hair. But I had to

1228
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: wake up even earlier because I had to blow dry

1229
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: my hair because it would have just turned in the

1230
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: icicles if I went out, so I always did. I

1231
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: had to wash my hair, was like this crap shampoo

1232
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: that tangled it. I had just fund like sixty minutes

1233
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: blow drying. Yeah, I would concur with that because with

1234
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: long hair and for me curly hair, I have to

1235
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: use conditioner. And we need to come up with that

1236
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: because there needs to be have sent control conditioner. I'm

1237
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: just saying if there's not already, because Corey will would

1238
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: never have the easy to just have me us the

1239
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: shampoo and I cannot do not use it. I mean,

1240
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: you will not get through my hair. The disaster. If

1241
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't heard a good company, I think that really

1242
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: needs to be This is something that I'm sure someone's

1243
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: are looking at, but if not, they should or we

1244
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: should start. It is like sent control products for women.

1245
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I think it's I think it's awesome

1246
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: that more and more women women are getting into hunting.

1247
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: And I'd love to have a conversation with you guys

1248
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: and more detail about you know, your thoughts on getting

1249
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: involved in the outdoors and hunting because I know both

1250
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: of you to some degree, I've gotten more interested in

1251
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: it in some ways. But we're running a time here,

1252
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: so maybe we'll get you on for another show. Um,

1253
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: but Dan, do you want to close this down here

1254
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: with one more mark? First off, there is two more

1255
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: questions the very last one so you're on the note

1256
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: where it says end recording right above. Yeah, yeah, that

1257
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,879
Speaker 1: was one needs to be asked. That was my surprise. Okay,

1258
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: But as far as as far as I don't want

1259
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: to say changing who your husbands are, is there something

1260
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: that maybe, um, like an attitude he has or a

1261
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: nervous tick, or something that you would like to change

1262
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: about him When it comes to whitetail hunting. What would

1263
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: that be Kylie? Um? I would say overthinking things would

1264
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: probably be my my one thing that I wish I

1265
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: could change about him. Um, but I think it's probably

1266
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: consistent across most hunters. But literally like deciding what stand

1267
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: to han hing, or what property to go to, or

1268
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: if you should go to Ohio or if you should

1269
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: hunt Iowa. It's just the the in this plasiveness and

1270
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: really just over analyzing every aspect of decision instead of

1271
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: this spinning so hollow it's got sometimes and say oh,

1272
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I feel like I should do this. I'm

1273
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: just going to do this and just go with it

1274
01:09:54,560 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: and do what happens. We talked about that. Yeah, it's

1275
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: a it's a thing. That's uh real deal. It's real deal.

1276
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: I'll give her that. What about you, Ashley? Um? Yes,

1277
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: I cannot agree more. That is sitting the nail on

1278
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: the head for sure, because I don't I really think

1279
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: that most serious hunters do that. I think they question themselves,

1280
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: especially if you have you know, more than one spot

1281
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and hopefully you do have more than one spots to

1282
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: go hunting. Um. But like Kylie went awesome, especially for

1283
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: Corey Um when he's in Iowa. You know, he's got

1284
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: a few strategy still reallylates to go and so that's

1285
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: not really the issue when he's there, well sometimes it is,

1286
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: but in Michigan it is a struggle for him to

1287
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: you know, should I go here space at this stand

1288
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: and with this wind and it plays a big part

1289
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: with the weather, the wind and all of that. So, um, yes,

1290
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: definitely not over stinking things and just going with it

1291
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: and enjoying what he's doing and remembering any tuneying because

1292
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: there's a passion in a in a love Okay, it's

1293
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: not because it's a job for for Corey in particular, um,

1294
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: and remembering to enjoy it. So and he does enjoy it.

1295
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: But you know, in the midst of all of the

1296
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: should I hunt here and should I stipis stand and

1297
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: all of that, remembering this is this is fun? Yeah,

1298
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I think. Um it's something that I've heard both of

1299
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: you guys talked about before. Um, is just how stressed

1300
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: we get. I know, me and Corey get pretty stressed

1301
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: with all these different things. And and is that something

1302
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: that does that affect you guys, Like how stressed that

1303
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: we get about these different things? Or if our season

1304
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: isn't going well or something went wrong on the hunt

1305
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: or hit a deer and confined it. You know, does

1306
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: that stress that we have and how it upsets us

1307
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: and throws us off? Does that affect you guys in

1308
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: a in a way to Kylie, I guess maybe I'm

1309
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: curious about you first nowhere near the impact that it

1310
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: has on you. I mean, I think Job Breakers is

1311
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 1: a good example of that. And you know, the impact

1312
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: that I had on you was it was huge. And

1313
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: for me, you know, as your wife, it's less of

1314
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: a you know, earth shattering event, but more of a

1315
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, just figuring out what I can do to

1316
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: support you and make sure that you know, you're not

1317
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: soaking on it too much, um, but that you are,

1318
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, reflecting on it and learning from it and

1319
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: then moving forward with it. But I don't feel like

1320
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: it's a time consuming thing or a dreaming thing where

1321
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: it's like, gosh, I'm just you know, Mark stressed about

1322
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, killing this beer. I'm really stressed too. It

1323
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have that strong of an affect on me. Is

1324
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: it irritating though? Um? I don't think so, Probably because

1325
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm really good at toning your you know, zoning out thing,

1326
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of like, oh yeah, yeah, okay, Well

1327
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: so sometimes I don't know what you really want or

1328
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: need my opinion about you know things. It's just you

1329
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 1: like to think out loud without it, and so I

1330
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 1: just I'm like, yeah, no, I agree, God you can

1331
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: come there. Well, now that that changes everything. I thought

1332
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: you were really giving this advice that changed everything for me,

1333
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: and now you're just you're just saying random words. Just

1334
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: blew my mind there? What about you? Actually? Does it?

1335
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: Does it? Does it irritate you when Corey gets so

1336
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: stressed out about it? Or I know, like I know,

1337
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: we've talked about this a little bit. The fact that

1338
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Corey gets so stressed out or bummed out about not

1339
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: being in Iowa anymore? Um, Hows does that whole thing

1340
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: irritate you? Just bother you? Does it concern you? How

1341
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: do you deal with his stress over all this deer

1342
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: hunting stuff? It does bother me? Actually, because I too,

1343
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: I would move back to Iowa in a heartbeat, and

1344
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: I know Corey would too. Um, if the situation was

1345
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 1: a little different, which people say, well, why don't you

1346
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: make it different, you know, change it? Well, since we're

1347
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 1: in so deep with a practice already it's eer being done. Um. However,

1348
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: where there's a well, there's a way. And I do

1349
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: believe that we've someday be either out there or who

1350
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: knows what. But um, it does affect me because I

1351
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 1: see how it really affects Gray. I mean, I really

1352
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: believe that a little piece of Corey died when we

1353
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: moved back to Michigan, died in the hunting world. I

1354
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: really mean that. I mean to his core, it really did.

1355
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: And some of his friends they think, we're like, well,

1356
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: why didn't you you know, why didn't you try harder

1357
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: to stay out here and everything? But when you have

1358
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, they added student wellan that and things that

1359
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: we had staged. It is a scary, scary reality and

1360
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 1: so you know, you do what you know to do,

1361
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: and so he did. Um. But it doesn't affect me because,

1362
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: like Kylie said, it's more or less trying to figure

1363
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: out how to encourage and support um his frustration maybe

1364
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: with it, and frustration with not being in Iowa, because

1365
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: I know it his for four years. Like I said,

1366
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: we are still disgusting it. And I believe that we

1367
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: if we never moved back there, I believe that it

1368
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: would be something that Corey would regret not moving back

1369
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: out there. However, I don't know as the I I

1370
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: don't know what the plan is for us with that.

1371
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, it definitely affects me for him, because I

1372
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: see how much he dreams. I mean, he dreams and

1373
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 1: dreams and dreams about owning, you know, a farm some

1374
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: day and and all of the details. Like I said,

1375
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: he friends countless hours on the g I s you know,

1376
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Google Map looking at property. Mean the guy I can

1377
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: tell you if I if I would drive by a

1378
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: house and I'm like, oh we ever, so many houses

1379
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 1: of this, oh yes, this and much phones that, and

1380
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: they only missed much land and you know this much

1381
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: is um tillable, and this much is wooded, and this

1382
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: has a creek run in through it and this. I mean,

1383
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: it's impressive to me how much he retains with land.

1384
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: He is a lover of all things outside and outdoors

1385
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: and land. So um, it definitely doesn't affect us together.

1386
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: I would say, Yeah, I think to your point about

1387
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: his obsession with land, he'd be a really good real

1388
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: estate agent, wouldn't he. He sure would. Gosh, he should

1389
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: really look into that I'm just gonna say that on

1390
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: air right here. He should and I believe he is,

1391
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully that's the avenue that he will be pursuing shortly.

1392
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: So I think two things that to be said here.

1393
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: Number One, you two are both really incredible supporters of

1394
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: your husband's and I'm not sure. I don't know, um,

1395
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure everyone is a supportive as you

1396
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 1: guys are. So I would just like to say that

1397
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate that both to you obviously, Kylie, and and

1398
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: Ashley too. I think it means a lot for a hunter,

1399
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: for someone like me to know that we have that

1400
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: support and understanding, and because we have that, and also

1401
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: I think for me at least, I realize how appreciative

1402
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: I need to be of that. But then also how

1403
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: much how important it is for me to give back

1404
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: equally in different ways, and that's something that I know

1405
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: I can do better at, but it's something that I

1406
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: know is deserved. Um. So I want to say that.

1407
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: But then finally, we did have that final question that

1408
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Dan mentioned, and this really was the final question from

1409
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: the beginning, before we ever talked about any of the stuff.

1410
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: But it's kind of ironic. Give him what we just

1411
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: talked about Actually, because I posted I posted a question

1412
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: up on on the wire unt on facebook page asking

1413
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: what questions we should ask you guys, and someone named

1414
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: Ross Hossman. I don't know if you guys know him,

1415
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: but he asked this question and it's a very important one.

1416
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Does Kylie love Mark enough to move to Iowa? So, Kylie,

1417
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: what's the answer? You know? And funny actually go through

1418
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,879
Speaker 1: the same thing the end of every hunting season, Mark's

1419
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: like Michigan, like I just want to somewhere where the

1420
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: dear bigger, and you know, you go through that low

1421
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and that frustration of of living in Michigan. Um. But anyways,

1422
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: to answer the question, yes, I do love Mark enough

1423
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: to move to Iowa. Um. And we just talked about it,

1424
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, And I think the high thing that always family.

1425
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: And I've said to Mark, if we're going to move,

1426
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be you know, you're you

1427
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: initiating the move because my job is never gonna take

1428
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: me time. Let's be real, So if if we're going

1429
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: to relocate, it's gonna be for what you do. But

1430
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: like I said, families a big thing and we really

1431
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: enjoy being close to our family and being able to

1432
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: see them a lot. So I think that's a struggle

1433
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: that we're kind of facing. A lot of people are

1434
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: probably facing. Um. With the extensive vacation we have planned,

1435
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, for this summer, I think that will be

1436
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: a good way for us to kind of tuft the

1437
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: waters and being away for an extended period of time

1438
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: and seeing how we like that, and you know, maybe

1439
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the summer will reevaluate where really

1440
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: are currently living. Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it will be

1441
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: an interesting question and journey will be on here in

1442
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: the in the coming months and years figure out what

1443
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: the future holds. Well, I don't know, Dan, there's no

1444
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: there's no big deer in Iowa, by the way, And

1445
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: I just want to point I want to make one

1446
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: quick point that when I talk about, you know, both

1447
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: when me and Corey talked about wanting to go to

1448
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: different states, because you know, there's a lot of people

1449
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: listening right now that live in states like Michigan or

1450
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania or New York or wherever it might be, where

1451
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: the hunting is um different than it is in Iowa

1452
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 1: or Kansas or whatever. And um, it's not worse, it's

1453
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: still you can still have a lot of fun, You

1454
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: can still do great, you can still really enjoy hunting.

1455
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: And I want to make sure that I don't downplay

1456
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: that too much. UM. I just do like you said, kind,

1457
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: I do complain about Michigan sometimes because when you get

1458
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: to go somewhere like Iowa or Ohio, the experience is

1459
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 1: much different. Yes, there's bigger deer, but but really the

1460
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: difference is that there's there's more older age class, dear.

1461
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Because we have older deer, you get to see behaviors

1462
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: that you never see in Michigan. You get you have

1463
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: experiences that you never have in Michigan. You know, I'll

1464
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: get to see a buck sparring in Iowa, or I

1465
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: might be a rattle in a buck and Ohio, or

1466
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'll see a buck vocalizing in some way

1467
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 1: that you just never would see in Michigan because they're

1468
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: so pressured because they're all young majority or younger deer. UM.

1469
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: In these other lower pressure states like Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, whatever. UM,

1470
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: it's just a different experience. And that is so exciting

1471
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: for me to be able to have that experience, UM

1472
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: and put some these different strategies to play and be

1473
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: a will see these deer. But you know, yes, of

1474
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: course I love big deer too, and they're just incredible

1475
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 1: animals to see, and so I can I'd be lying

1476
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: if I didn't tell you that's part of it. Two.

1477
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: But there's there's a lot of things that go into

1478
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: it for me, um, So I think I think that's

1479
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: gonna do it. This is gonna be a pretty long episode,

1480
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: but I think it was really interesting. Dan, what did

1481
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: you think. Yeah, it's good to see, uh, perspective outside

1482
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: of our own obviously in in any topic. But I

1483
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 1: think it puts, like I said, it puts into perspective um,

1484
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: things that we don't I mean as like me and

1485
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: you Mark, we almost get blinders on when it comes

1486
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: when when we talk about deer hunting, and we may

1487
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: not see everything that's happening outside of us. So it's

1488
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: good to see another perspective of you know, from from

1489
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: our significant others that kind of fill in the blanks. Yeah,

1490
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. I am. I know I'm

1491
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: definitely guilty of tunnel vision when it comes to this

1492
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: stuff sometimes, so it's uh, it's going to get that

1493
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: wake up call over once in a while. So so

1494
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: thank you Kylie and Ashley for joining us on the podcast. Um,

1495
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: this has been this has been pretty cool, so thank you.

1496
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. All Right, we're a shutter down. Well,

1497
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: I think that wraps things up here today, and I

1498
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed this whole discussion as much as we did.

1499
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: I think we got a whole new perspective from what

1500
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: we're usually used to seeing as white tail addicts. And uh,

1501
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: I think I got out of this without getting into

1502
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 1: too much trouble with my wife too, so that's a

1503
