1 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: My name is Clay Nukleman. This is a production of 2 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: the Bear Grease podcast called The Bear Grease Render, where 3 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: we render down, dive deeper, and look behind the scenes 4 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: of the actual bear Grease podcast, presented by f HF Gear, 5 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: American Maid, purpose built hunting and fishing gear that's designed 6 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: to be as rugged as the place as we explore. 7 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: So there's been some emails floating around. This is the 8 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: Bear Grease Render podcast. The Bear Grease Render, I've heard 9 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: it is where we gather up a group of people 10 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to introduce some esteemed esteemed guests in 11 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: just a minute. But I feel like this is pertinent 12 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: right now. Is there's been some emails floating around from 13 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: the powers that be. 14 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: Mean spirited emails or. 15 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Well no, just business emails from meat eater. Okay, of 16 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: the render was never videoed. None of this was ever videoed. 17 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: But we've been born into a time where things rapidly moved, 18 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: so all of a sudden we needed video and which 19 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: is great. So we film here in my office. This 20 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: is the global headquarters. At one time is the global 21 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: headquarters of Bear Honey magazine. Now it's the global headquarters 22 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: of Bear Grease also been called meat Eater South. And 23 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: there's been a couple of little clues popping around in 24 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: different places in my life about this office and the 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: way it looked. The first clue was there was an 26 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: article that was written about me in Farm Farm Bureau 27 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: magazine and insurance companies like magazine, and this guy came 28 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: here and interviewed me and we had just a great time. 29 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: I loved the guy. The first paragraph of his introduction 30 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: to me is he basically. 31 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: Says in three different ways, he says. 32 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm standing in Clay Newcombe's cluttered office, which is like 33 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: the man's mind. You know. I think he was trying 34 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: to pay me a compliment, but I. 35 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 2: Was just like, sounds a little backhanded. 36 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I was like cluttered, and I was like, this office 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: looks exactly the way I want it to. Okay, we're 38 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: getting to what you now miss because the office has 39 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: been a little decluttered. Well, it's not long after that 40 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: article came out. Not long after that article came out, 41 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: the powers that me at Meat Eater may not have 42 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: said the office looks a little cluttered, to which in 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: my heart I replied, the office looks exactly the way 44 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: Clay wants it to. 45 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: I believe the words that I uttered for you were 46 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: that Clay like has the office exactly? 47 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: Yes. 48 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: And it was beautiful, Pablo, it was perfect. It was 49 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: like a museum. And here's some of the things that 50 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: we cleaned up like that museum. Yeah, and you'll no 51 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: longer get to see this anymore. 52 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: Like if your hoard or great grandma had a museum. 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: This this deer horn was once on display right up there, yep. Okay. 54 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: And there was a there was an episode that we 55 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: did a few a few episodes back called The bird Hunter, 56 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: and it was the story of Lew and Nukem. And 57 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the story, I told about the 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: last hunt that me and Lewin Nukem, my grandfather went 59 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: on together, and I picked up this shed horn while 60 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: we were hunting, and I showed it to him and 61 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I just wrote on it that you know. Soon after 62 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: that day, I wrote Clam Paps Nukem Bird Hunt two 63 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: thousand and two. I didn't know that would be the 64 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: last time I'd hunt with him, but it was. So 65 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: that's what you're missing. You missed it, Pablo, Okay, that's 66 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: one thing you'd miss me. The other thing that you'd 67 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: miss was. At one time I had my collection of 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: baculums right up there in the corner. This is not 69 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: this is not all the vaculums that I've collected, but 70 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: this is a lot of them that there are raccoon vaculums. 71 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: And I have a raccoon vaculum that ought to be 72 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: I have a raccoon. I have a raccoon vaculum that 73 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: ought to be in the Smithsonian. Look at that it 74 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: was broken and rehealed. 75 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: Do you see that finds a way? See? 76 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Look, that's the way a normal raccoon vaculum looks. That 77 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: one has been broken and healed like a collar bone 78 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: that wasn't set right. 79 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: And a baculum is a baculum. You have to look 80 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 4: that one up. 81 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah what it is? But it's a bone. And these 82 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: are these are black bears. No, yeah, these are black 83 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: bear bones. Two of these came from Roy Clark and 84 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: East Tennessee. The first time I hunted with Roy Clark, 85 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: one of the Bear Greece Hall of Famers plot man 86 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: in East Tennessee. We killed two boars in two days, 87 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: and right before I left, he had been whittling on 88 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: two vaculums and he gave them to me. This one 89 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: came out of the Boone and Crockett bear that I killed. 90 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: There's a correlation between baculum size and skull size, i'd say, 91 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: But that's what that's what they're missing, the people because 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: I had to declutter my office. 93 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: What is clutter to begin with? Clutter? No, it doesn't 94 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: even exist exactly. 95 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: And then and then the other thing that you would 96 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: miss is my stone point collection, which I'm very proud of. 97 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Most of these stone points I found in my yard. 98 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: And turns out Pablo, who I'm going to introduce, is 99 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: a big stone point man. 100 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: Oh man, it's awful. Yeah, once you get into it, 101 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: it's over with. Yeah, but those are beautiful. And when 102 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 5: he's in the display. 103 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have seen them. I wouldn't have had 104 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: to dug them out. And they're just all look how 105 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: sad they look in that zip Like, No, can you 106 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: tell that that is a celebration of life? No? No, 107 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: because because you know there's a lot of great stuff 108 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: in there. I mean, I can show you all the 109 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: points right now. 110 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: You look like a kid with a bag of marbles 111 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: or something. 112 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, some of these I found when I was a kid. 113 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: This one right here, I have written on it blue bucket, 114 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: Howard County. Uh, it's okay, there's there's nothing there to see, 115 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: y'all can all go there. I picked that up when 116 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: I was a junior in high school after I had 117 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: shot my a spike buck with my bow. Was track 118 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: it was blood trailing the deer and picked up it's 119 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: it's a broken fragment. And then this one, uh, it's 120 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: it's it's come off. But I found this stone point 121 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: when I was trailing a hog when I was a 122 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: junior in high school. I dug a big hole in 123 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: the ground, poured some corn in the ground, skipped class, went, 124 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: no trail cameras or anything. But it was like a 125 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: couple of It was a couple of days after I 126 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: had poured corn in this hole and I had I 127 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: had put it down in like that. It was like 128 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: a big river bottom and there was a floodplain where 129 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: the where the topography just dropped off and so basically 130 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: it's flat and then there's like a ten foot drop 131 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: and then it was flat again. I put the hole 132 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: like right over the lip down in the second flat part, okay, 133 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: and then I scratched out the leaves for about thirty 134 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: yards back. I skipped school, slipped in there, walked on 135 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: my leafless path, and popped up over the rise and 136 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: what would you guess happened? There was a giant hog 137 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: with his head in that hole. And there's Clay with 138 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: his bow seventeen years old Matthew's high Country ex caliber 139 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: sixty five pounds. He told me I could go. I 140 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: got permission. 141 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: Wow, that's good. 142 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he told me I could skip school. And I 143 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: draw back and shoot that sucker right in the shoulder 144 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: and he literally shrugs it off. The arrow falls out 145 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: onto the ground, and the hog runs off while I'm 146 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I do my due diligence to try to find the hog, 147 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: and I mean he was not to be found, you know. Uh, 148 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: And that I found that stone point, all these memories lost. 149 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: Yep, all these memories regret resigned to a ziplock bag. 150 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to the bear gray Surrender. 151 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: Though I have, is that the first time you've you've 152 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: ever been told that you are somewhat cluttered? 153 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 6: Uh? 154 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 3: Think think think smart. 155 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it's the first time. 156 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know what Gandalf said on 157 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings I hate to quote Lord of 158 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: the Rings, but it's a great movie.

You know. They actually did cortisol tests, 173 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: like the stress formone they assessed us, and they found 174 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: that clutter in a home actually does produce more stress 175 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: on average in women than men. 176 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: What if we have designated spots where we can just 177 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: keep our clutter. 178 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got no problem. It was fun, though, to 179 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: watch Clay read that article, because you know, it wasn't 180 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: a total surprise to me that someone wrote that. And 181 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: I think your office is beautiful, a great museum. I 182 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: love to take people in it. But when Clay read 183 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 3: it out loud, I could I could see his face 184 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: just kind of drop and he's like what and then 185 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: he read because it wasn't one time it was in 186 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: the first three sentence, mentioned a couple times different ways 187 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: of saying it was cluttered or kind of haphazardly put together, 188 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: and Clay was just astonished. 189 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: It was a great article the first time it ever 190 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: entered my mind. But Michael Lewis says that the reason 191 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: great writers are great is because they don't care about 192 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: the reputation of the person they're writing about. Like, if 193 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: you wrote an article about yourself, Pablo, you would kind 194 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: of you You probably wouldn't do anything detrimental, but it 195 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: also wouldn't be as interesting to the reader potentially. But 196 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: if the guy that wrote the article about me wrote 197 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: an article about you, he might he would like, tell 198 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: us the real stuff that we really want to know. 199 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: That might be you know, And Michael Lewis says that's 200 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: the key to writing. It's like he's like, Hey, I'm 201 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: gonna interview, but I don't care about your reputation. 202 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: He's pretty risky. 203 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: So Welcome to the Bear Grease Render.

And 279 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: I was sucked in from the beginning. And there's a 280 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: few there's a few qualms that I have a lot 281 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: of alcohol, which I just you know, I'm not.

Yeah, they knew each other, but I don't 291 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: think there was a plan for them to be like 292 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: become well known. 293 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: No, Willy was just a big fan and he he's just. 294 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: This guy and rural Alabama.

Now I 378 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 5: was in one of them, but I have friends that 379 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: they were unrealistically good. It's just pure talent, like seriously 380 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 5: pure talent. I was good, but but those guys were 381 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 5: like beast. 382 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: You know. 383 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: When you told me that story, it made me think about, Uh, 384 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: I do instinctive shooting and archery, and me and my 385 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: son Bear are fixing the go to Alaska and we're 386 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: using these primitive self bows that he made himself, and 387 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: you're you're shooting them instinctively, you know, and it's and 388 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to be accurate. But I would imagine 389 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: if ever since we were born, if that's the only 390 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: thing that we could harvest meet with, and we'd shot 391 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: bows our whole life are whole life, and there was 392 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: that much at stake, we would be in a whole 393 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: different category of archers. I mean, I just think about 394 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: like you guys, you told me, you know, you didn't 395 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: have guns, you couldn't even shoot bb guns and all 396 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: this stuff in Costa Rica, and I mean these guys 397 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: were just I mean. 398 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 4: It pretty much every day. 399 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you keep a bag of rugs like the 400 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 5: ones that you wanted. This is gonna sound crazy, but 401 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 5: not all rugs are equal, right, Like I'm speaking of 402 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 5: maybe like in a molecular level, some of them are 403 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 5: denser than others. So the ones like this, the smallest one, 404 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 5: the most round in heavior, those were the ones that 405 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 5: you wanted. 406 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: Like you will just walk the creeks picking picking picks 407 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: with cherry, yeah, oh yeah. 408 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 5: And then man, you get very good consistency with them, 409 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 5: you know. So I mean you can throw anyone, it's 410 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 5: not gonna fly the same way. 411 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 4: You know. 412 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: That kind of makes sense the story in the Bible 413 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: of David killing Goliath, and you know, there's like this 414 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: spiritual component to it, but I've always thought about it 415 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: from a natural sense as well. Is that David the 416 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: shepherd boy now he was using a sling not necessarily 417 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: a sling shot. 418 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 4: Yeah. 419 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: It was like yeah, there was no no wood.

Yeh, 422 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: he knew what he was like. 423 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: You guys said, he went and picked his stone. 424 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: That's what made me think of it. That's why he 425 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: said he picked his stone. So he he you got yeah. 426 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 5: Because here's here's this story with this one. I wanted 427 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 5: to say.

It's always the best of something. 542 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: I want to say. 543 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 5: I'm almost sure Brazil is the number one in quality 544 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 5: I mean quantity worldwide. 545 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: Okay, but I want. 546 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 5: To sit I'm almost positive the Costa Rica is the 547 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 5: number one in quality.

Oh wow, Like we can 549 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 5: double check this with Google. 550 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: Or you're confirming exactly what I'm saying. 551 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 4: Yes, I believe. 552 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't want anybody in fact check it the rest 553 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: of my life. I'm going to be like, Costa Rica 554 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: is the best coffee in the world. My friend Pablo 555 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: told me. 556 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, But at the end of the day, it's all 557 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 5: about opinion, because I could say it. The Razorbacks are 558 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 5: the best college team in the world, you know, and 559 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 5: even though. 560 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: They're not, I don't think that can be quantified. 561 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 4: Wikipedia just kidding. 562 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: Hey, so you told us about Costa Rica to some 563 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: degree in the podcast, but not not a lot. Like, 564 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: so you lived in Costa Rica till you're twenty one 565 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: years old? 566 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 4: Yes, describe like the the. 567 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: Topography, the vegetation of Costa Rica, Like how big is 568 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: Costa Rica? 569 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 5: Costa Rica is I want to say this. I want 570 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 5: to say, we have to check this fact again. But 571 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 5: I want to say it's fifty one thousand square kilometers, Okay, 572 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 5: fifty one thousand or fifty two thousand square kilometers. 573 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: How long does it take you to drive across the island. 574 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 5: Well, it's not an island. Is a country, Like it's 575 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 5: dead on the middle of the continent. So Puerto Rico 576 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 5: is an island. Costa Rica is not an island. 577 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 4: Okay. 578 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, So if you're traveling across the country, if it 579 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 5: was a straight shot, probably like three hours. 580 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: Fifty one thousand square kilometers, so nineteen thousand square miles. 581 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: So it's tiny. 582 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 4: Yes, it's like nineteen thousand. 583 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 5: Alabama's like two and a half times bigger than Costa 584 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 5: Rica and they have the same populations, so about five 585 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 5: six million. So that goes to show you there's more 586 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 5: people per square mile than what you have here, right, 587 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 5: because yet you have these vast areas of no population 588 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 5: and that's due to the terrains. 589 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: Right. So you're going, like I said, if it was 590 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 4: a straight shot. 591 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 5: But three hours on a straight line, but you're going 592 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 5: through all these different habitats with altitudes, increases, decreases, valleys, 593 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 5: rivers and all that stuff that the travel some areas 594 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 5: you're doing. 595 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 2: Like it's mountains and they have you have a volcano. Yeah, 596 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: there's like seven volcanoes, like active volcano. 597 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 4: It's like okay, so you're dropping. 598 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 5: You're gonna go from like dry from like dry Arizona 599 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 5: looking like forest, you know, to the rainforest, back down 600 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 5: to maybe Louisiana mugginess looking like swamps, to the Caribbean 601 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 5: side and back down to the jungle on the south 602 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 5: end of the country. 603 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 4: And then you cross into Panama. 604 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 5: So you and that's without talking about the volcanoes and 605 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 5: the hot springs and all that stuff. Yeah, everything is 606 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 5: it's like a like I said, the place has two 607 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 5: percent of the word diversity, just bio biodiversity. Nineteen thousand 608 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,959 Speaker 5: square miles. Two percent of the word biodiversity is located 609 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 5: in there. So you you can imagine that the flora 610 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 5: and the fauna is going to be really rich. 611 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: What kind of big game? Are there any big game animals? 612 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: O realize they're not hunting them there. Yeah, that was 613 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: part of his story, is that there's no honting in 614 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: coast through it's legal. 615 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 4: That doesn't mean that it's not. But there's some whitetail. 616 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: Whitetail there, yes, which would be invasive. 617 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 4: I guess, I don't know. 618 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean the white tails are. 619 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 5: And there's pigs, you know, feral pigs as you cannot 620 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 5: run them off. They're going to be everywhere. Jaguars, jaguars 621 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 5: of course. There's also this creature. I don't know what's 622 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 5: the name on the English, but we call it Danta. 623 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 5: She's like, like, go ahead and google it so you 624 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 5: can maybe describe it. But she's a big, old, like 625 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 5: a bear, looking like creature. We no longer her, and 626 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 5: her nose is going to be long like a taper. 627 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 2: It's like a taper. 628 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 5: A taper, that's what it is. There's those all over 629 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 5: the place, all over the no, no, let me take 630 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 5: the bag. Not all over on the south of the country. 631 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 5: There's yes, tapers with jaguars usually. 632 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the jaguar? 633 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: Yes, you really?

Kill a 841 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 5: bug on this particular double you may I've been hunting 842 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 5: seven years in that area without being able to kill 843 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 5: a legal book. Everything is within less than a week 844 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 5: time frame. And then the fourth day, No, the fifth 845 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 5: day of consecutive hunting, a cow horn looking like a 846 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 5: spike comes up and I was like bloom, yes, and 847 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 5: everybody's like, you gotta be kidding me. 848 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 2: I was like, what do you mean? 849 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 4: This is a huge accomplishment.

And I was like, it's like a food 851 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 4: long No. 852 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: It was a good It's always funny how people talk 853 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: about it was a big spot. 854 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 4: It's like as if if the two spikes walked up 855 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 4: and one at three and one at four, this one 856 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 4: is a good one, yeah, this one is.

Yeah. 858 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 4: I can't get enough cal horn spot. 859 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 5: So I was like, what a better way to do 860 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,280 Speaker 5: it then going back to basics and pull the trigger 861 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 5: and the spike burn attack and be done in Alabama? 862 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 4: And everybody's like, okay, so. 863 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 5: Did you just graduated from this spike management of university 864 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 5: orre you going to keep doing this? 865 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 4: And I was like, I don't know. We will find 866 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 4: out next season. So I went two weeks later to. 867 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 5: Mississippi kill a book, and I mean, come on, you 868 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, right yere man? Yeah, killing the 869 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 5: best book on the state killing a book and I've 870 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 5: only made it took me seven years to do that. 871 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 5: Tagging out. It don't matter what do you tag out, 872 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 5: but you tag out and then on top of that 873 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 5: killing now to state book. 874 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 4: It doesn't get no better than that. 875 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: Right, big year, good year, I've got I've got a 876 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,479 Speaker 1: question for you. So because you've you've you came into 877 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: specifically whitetail hunting so fresh, with such a clean slate, 878 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: like you didn't have any cultural baggage like anybody that's 879 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: raised I mean almost in America. I mean, deer hunting 880 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: is so big in America. I mean unless you're just 881 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: like from like the Inner City and your family has 882 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: been there for like generations, there's a good chance that 883 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: you have some connection to hunting. Maybe it's your grandfather, 884 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: maybe it's your uncle, your cousins, like somebody the hunter 885 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: way back, and and you come with this baggage of 886 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,879 Speaker 1: the way that you're supposed to hunt, like whether it's 887 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: whether it's bow hunting, or whether it's doing drives, or 888 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: whether it's hunting with deer dogs like it is down 889 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 1: here in some places, whether it's bow hunt whatever. I 890 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: think that in today's like oversaturated whitetail world that's so commercialized, 891 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: and it just is I mean, you know, I mean 892 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 1: the company I work where we try to sell hunting products. 893 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of what makes the thing go round. 894 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: I don't feel bad about that. But also in like 895 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: the media space in general, it's like we need things 896 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: to talk about, and so it's almost like hunting gets 897 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 1: more and more complex, like if you were just starting 898 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: from scratch, like when my dad started hunting back in 899 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. I mean, it's like you needed a 900 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: bow in a flannel shirt, you know, and maybe a 901 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: baker tree stand that you could climb up and probably die. 902 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: Those things they call them widow makers. But today you 903 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: might get the idea that you got to know about 904 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: all this different stuff. You're an interesting case study because 905 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: you do know, I mean, you've kind of, you know, 906 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of information. You've just been a sponge and 907 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: learned about thermals and learned about feed trees and learned 908 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: about funnels, and like he's a student of deer hunting, 909 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: you know. And so here's my question all that, to say, 910 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,439 Speaker 1: what really are the limiting factors of killing a deer? 911 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: Where you hunt. Okay, because it could be somebody might 912 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: come into hunting and think it's camouflage pattern, which we 913 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: all know is not true. But what what do you 914 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 1: think the limiting factors are killing deer? 915 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 5: Based on what I believe personally pressure. I believe pressure 916 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,879 Speaker 5: is a big thing. Also on this particular dog. 917 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: You may tell me what you mean by that. They 918 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: interpret that. 919 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 4: Like like hunters per squaial mind. 920 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: So you so for you to be successful, you go 921 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:58,240 Speaker 1: where there's not pressure. 922 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 5: Yes, Also in this area where I hunt, the deer 923 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 5: population is very low. The habit that is pretty monocha. 924 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 5: How well, it's pretty much the. 925 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: Same block like monoculture. 926 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 4: Yes, so. 927 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 5: There's different areas where I can move and go and 928 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 5: kill a deer. Right, it might not be the greatest, 929 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 5: but he's going to be a deer and I could 930 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 5: be pretty successful about that. But once again, there's gonna 931 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 5: be things such as. 932 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 4: Pressure. That's to me, that's the biggest thing in Alabama. 933 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: So what what when you say that to me? 934 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 4: I hear you say. 935 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: If I was telling a new hunter what to do, 936 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: I would go find a place it doesn't have a 937 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: lot of people hunting, and you could be you could 938 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,320 Speaker 1: you could not have knowledge and kind of not know 939 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 1: what you're doing, but maybe still kill a deer because 940 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: they're unpressured. 941 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 4: No. 942 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 5: Uh, now, here's the thing that's that's that's kind of 943 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 5: like a different question. I'm gonna answer in a different way. 944 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 5: But I think, to me, my blessing, because it was 945 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 5: a blessing, was that I learned from all school guys. 946 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 5: Guys didn't have social media. Shoot man, they had paper maps. 947 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,760 Speaker 5: That was the way for them to scalt the areas 948 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 5: and all that stuff. So that was my principle. You know, 949 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 5: that was the foundation of where I'm at right now. 950 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 5: Everything else I don't pick it up throughout the seasons 951 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 5: and you learn a little bit more about this and 952 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 5: about that. If somebody asked me right now, based on 953 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,919 Speaker 5: what I know, I'd be like, Okay, the best way 954 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 5: to try to seal the deal is to figure out 955 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 5: when is the rut. 956 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 4: When the rout is on, like on the peak. So 957 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 4: you're going to find them cruisers and go ahead and 958 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 4: put yourself nearby a creek crossing or a bluff gap. 959 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 4: That's what I would choose. Like special so. 960 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: Understanding like when the times are so you can understand 961 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: in topography. 962 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, so that way you're going to get the most 963 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 5: daylight movements and the most exposure, you know, because because 964 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 5: love is in the air, and they be goofing around 965 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 5: and I'm yeah, you know, and they exposed themselves in 966 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 5: the ways that they never do. Yeah, I've been winded before, 967 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 5: but bugs. They's like, man, I have got this crazy, 968 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 5: but I have got encounters with big deer. Last season, 969 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 5: I bomb paid Monster a monster and I called my 970 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 5: buddy Daniel Williams and I said, Daniel, I just bomb 971 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 5: pay Monster. It's like two thirty in the evening. 972 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 4: What do I do. He's like, Oh, don't worry, You're 973 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 4: going to do this. You fix them, kill him. And 974 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 4: I was like no, like he's gone. He was like, no, 975 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 4: do this, you fix him, kill him. And I didn't 976 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 4: listen to him. 977 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 5: And I think that I should have done it, and 978 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 5: I might have killed him, you know, but I was like, no, no, 979 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 5: hold on, I'm going to try to do this. 980 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 4: Well. 981 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 5: He was recommending me, was like trying to circle hook 982 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 5: that book, but I just couldn't avoid it, and I 983 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 5: did the opposite and just kind of like straight up 984 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 5: chasing climb a tree and I was like, he's gonna 985 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 5: come back, and I bet you he wouldn't run, but 986 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 5: he was a monster. 987 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,919 Speaker 4: H bet it on the wide up and yeah. 988 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,279 Speaker 5: The crazy thing is I stopped and look at the tree. 989 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 5: I came out of the thicket, stop looking at the tree, 990 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,799 Speaker 5: and I said, this is a really good transition area. 991 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 5: This is the climber and the trail comes right here. 992 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like it. And I did one step and 993 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 4: he bumped about twenty yards, so you were right. Yeah, 994 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 4: I was right there, but he was already there. Yeah. 995 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: So you know, I used to think about bow hunting. 996 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 1: If somebody would have seen me killing deer and would 997 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: have been like, oh, man, you're a good hunter, I 998 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 1: would have said, I don't know. I don't really think 999 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: I'm a good hunter. I think I just go lot 1000 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: and I'm really persistent. So what I saw people do 1001 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: is like learn a lot about hunting. And this is 1002 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: kind of a fictitious scenario, but like learn a lot 1003 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,280 Speaker 1: about hunting, try to find the right time, like basically 1004 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: find the right scenario, and then they would go and 1005 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: not be successful. And maybe they even knew more about 1006 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: what was happening than me, But I was I just 1007 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: went more, stayed longer and ended up killing deer, and 1008 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 1: in the process of that you learn a lot. I mean, 1009 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: so I think the thing that I would say to 1010 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 1: people is just go go climb up in a tree 1011 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: and sit there, and when you don't see deer, you're 1012 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna learn something. You're gonna go somewhere else. When you 1013 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: do see deer, you're gonna be validated. And you're gonna 1014 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: watch how they use the terrain, watch what they're feeding on, 1015 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 1: watch the direction they come. When you get winded, you're 1016 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 1: gonna learn Oh dang, I need to be on that 1017 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,919 Speaker 1: side of the funnel, and the thermals are gonna suck 1018 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: my wind down in that draw. I mean, like you 1019 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 1: just learned so much about being there. But as opposed 1020 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: to and I guess I'm kind of combating what you 1021 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: and I talked about earlier today about how complex sometimes. Yeah, 1022 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,439 Speaker 1: like the more the longer we do this white tail 1023 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: hunting thing, the more fine tuned it becomes, and kind 1024 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 1: of the more complicated it becomes in a way. 1025 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 4: And there's so many members technicologies, so many technicologies and 1026 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 4: things that it seems like we're speaking about like outer 1027 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 4: space kind of stuff. And it just takes the whole 1028 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: the fun a way. 1029 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: When's what's the last white Tail podcast you listen to? 1030 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: Miss nukelem. 1031 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,760 Speaker 3: When was the last time you did a Dear Stories podcast? 1032 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 4: Oh?

And it happens. 1048 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 4: But but I said, nostalgia is the greatest liar there is, right, 1049 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 4: And that's because it will bring you back to these 1050 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 4: really like cool moments and great memories while hiding the 1051 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 4: real reason why something ended or something was. Don't forget right. 1052 00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 3: That's good, Yeah, it's really good. 1053 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 5: So so what I get is all these reels of 1054 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 5: high moments of my childhood, pretty much in my teenager years, 1055 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 5: which I had the greatest childhood ever, man, like I 1056 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 5: you know, with you can you can try to put 1057 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 5: in context like oh, there was some limitations or whatever 1058 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 5: was I never felt, you know, I was a happy 1059 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 5: kid with what we had, right, and the greatest thing 1060 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 5: we didn't have internet and we didn't have cell phones. 1061 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 5: That was the two greatest thing it's ever, you know. 1062 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 5: So we grew up everybody in the neighborhood, my area 1063 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 5: pretty much like that, like yeah, wide up and on 1064 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 5: the woods, you know. So you you cannot be asking 1065 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 5: for anything better than that. But I get nostalgic. 1066 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 4: It's normal. 1067 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 5: And especially when I think about fishing, I'm like, oh 1068 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 5: my god, man, oh my god, you know, forty five 1069 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 5: minutes away from from the ocean, yeah, or something like that. 1070 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 5: And then you start recalling, Okay, what was the reasons 1071 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 5: why we left or what do we move forward? This 1072 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,919 Speaker 5: and that, and then you start realizing like, oh, yeah, 1073 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 5: that's why you know. And so yeah, gotta be careful 1074 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 5: when you get nostalgic, because you can be impulsive. 1075 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 1: Okay, tying this back into deer hunting, have you deer 1076 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,280 Speaker 1: hunted long enough for you to be nostalgic about deer hunting? 1077 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,480 Speaker 4: Yes? Absolutely? 1078 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,919 Speaker 5: About a place in the specific, Yeah, this area where 1079 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 5: I used to be the one that I think that 1080 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 5: shot in that big deer. I don't want to get 1081 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,719 Speaker 5: into a lot of detail of the place because I 1082 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 5: will give it up. 1083 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 4: But the place was. 1084 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 5: It's no longer available mm and and that was my 1085 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,320 Speaker 5: honey hole, and I hunted it hard, man, every moment, 1086 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 5: every day that I had, I was on the same tree, 1087 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 5: the same sweet come about this big because it was 1088 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 5: the only one that you could climb in that swamp. 1089 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 5: And now I go by the place, even though there's 1090 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 5: nothuntable you can go by, and and man, sometimes I 1091 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 5: just kind of like stayed right there, and I'm like, man, 1092 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,959 Speaker 5: I wish that I could haunt this place back again. 1093 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 5: And even though this nostalgia is like legit, like there's 1094 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 5: not such bad reason for it, Like it was out of. 1095 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: My days you sat there and didn't see anything. 1096 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, but how much I learned and how much time 1097 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 5: you because there was so much wildlife on those swamps, 1098 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 5: which was incredible. 1099 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 4: Man. 1100 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 5: I got to see in otters. I got to see beavers, 1101 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 5: all kinds of ducks, coons, bobcads, just walking by me, 1102 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 5: minding their business. And that's quiet that you can stay. 1103 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 5: The more you're gonna learn, you know. That's I learned 1104 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 5: that with deer as well. The first time I seen 1105 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 5: a doubt with triplets. That doesn't happen very often, but 1106 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 5: it happens. Well, it might happiness more often than what 1107 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 5: I think. But the phones were like literally underneath me, 1108 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 5: and I was like hugging the tree, like police go 1109 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 5: away and they're doing their thing. And Mama was like 1110 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 5: forty yards away, ears wide open, scanny. She knew something 1111 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 5: was off, but she could figure it out. So I 1112 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 5: was listening so carefully because there was so many bocalizations 1113 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 5: going on between and back and forth that it was 1114 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 5: just an amazing experience. And they ended up just walking away. 1115 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 5: But I was like, these are the days that really 1116 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 5: make the difference when you learn and experience a little 1117 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 5: bit better, you know, behaviors or things like that. But yeah, yeah, 1118 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 5: that place right there. And there's also the one that 1119 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 5: they got away, the one that could never recovered. You 1120 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 5: seeing that book, Yeah, he was a good one to 1121 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 5: as show it to you later, but he was a 1122 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 5: good one.

I mean, 1249 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, kind of like throw your pearls 1250 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 1: before the swine.

Like seriously, man, 1261 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,200 Speaker 5: they have expent years of their life up in that 1262 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 5: mountain chasing these creatures, and suddenly if you're here for 1263 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 5: a free ride, that's gonna throw you off the door 1264 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 5: right away.

Where you go to do what you do? You know? 1267 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 5: Like so I don't know, I guess it's the will, 1268 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 5: your attitude, perseverance, you know, how good you're going to 1269 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 5: be able to face the challenges that they throw it 1270 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 5: at you. Maybe I don't know, just the blessing overall, 1271 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 5: that's what it is. Yeah, good lord looking over, there's 1272 01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 5: nothing you can do about that, right. 1273 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 4: So it was good, So. 1274 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Did you have a question? 1275 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 3: Actually my question was how did he get his mentors? 1276 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 3: That was actually what I was curious about.

So it's kind of hard because I actually 1279 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 3: have a lot of questions, but I feel like it 1280 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 3: would be repetitive. They're probably answered in. 1281 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 4: The yeah, yeah, So how did you get here?
