Now this man take a bullet for you. 12 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. No, I feel like, um, 13 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: if someone can like uh, I feel in terms of 14 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have like tremendous amount of 15 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: experience around the big game guys, but I got enough. 16 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I feel like you have to be if someone's going 17 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: to rate them out in terms of organized not overselling 18 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: like very careful, uh not on mean value like trying 19 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: to like create like a low dollar value, but like 20 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: very cognizant of the money, like what the expectations are 21 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: of the money being spent. It's probably because you don't 22 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: have any Um, there's no desperation about you. Well, we 23 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: have a great team. So I'm surrounded by really good 24 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: people and I think that's a huge part of it. Um, 25 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: A huge part of our successes is having you know, 26 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: from all the way from you know, people that help 27 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: people cross the board, or two cooks, two guides, um, 28 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, surrounded with a good team. It really helps. 29 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, I think one of the 30 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: things outfitters over the years have kind of gotten a 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: bad rap, if you will, is the expectations of the 32 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: hunters coming. Maybe you're too high. Um. And so what 33 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: I try and do is paint a picture of exactly 34 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: what they should expect. And it's kind of a bar 35 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: that we try and uphold. And so and you've been 36 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: at it long enough to kind of know what to expect. Yeah, 37 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: we just finished our twenty six season in Mexico, and um, 38 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: it's been an unbelievable ride. It's hard to even believe 39 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: twenty six years. But you know, Mexico is an unbelievable country. 40 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: And we do cups and Gould's hunts down there, goolds turkeys, um, 41 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: and it's it's something that I enjoy. I hope I 42 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: get to do for a long long time. It's uh, 43 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: Felps and I were talking about this, Um, it's like 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: the good old day. No, I can't remember. Some one 45 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: of us were talking about this. I'll introduce everybody else. A. Uh, 46 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: We're like, it's the good old days. Right now, I'm 47 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: gonna ask you about what what what ways in which 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: it could the good old days could end right now. 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: There's gotta be ways in which the good old days 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: would end. But right now, I think like goulds and 51 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: coups and stuff in Mexico, like spitting distance from the 52 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: US border is like the good old days. One of 53 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: the things that I think so unbelievable in all of 54 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: you guys have been to Mexico is to me, it 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: feels like you're going back in time a hundred years 56 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: and it feels like it's pure hunting. To me, it 57 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: feels like, you know, you've you've kind of left your 58 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: cell phones behind and you're just with your buddies and 59 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: you're just out there. You know, there's coyote eesy open, 60 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: and there's maybe Turkey's yelping or and and you know, 61 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: there's there's have a line of fighting and it's like 62 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: you can kind of get out there. There's five miles 63 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: off there's a guy walking a donkey with a scabbard 64 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: lever action, and you can sit and talk for twenty 65 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: minutes about what in the world was that guy doing 66 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: and he's just smiling the whole time. And you know, 67 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: you see things that run and fence lines or whatever. 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: You though. Yeah, I mean it's literally like going back 69 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: in time a hundred years and I feel like that 70 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: working cattle off horseback. It's like, yeah, and the way 71 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: of life is so simple. I think that that's one 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: of the things that draws me to Mexico is the adventure. Um, 73 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: not that we don't have adventure here in the US, 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: but it just feels like the old days. It feels 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: like old times. It feels like, you know, almost like 76 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: you're looking around for wagons to be going by, and 77 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, horse drawn buggy types. It's really like that 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: transition is so immediate. And then you can look off 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: and see one of those boards, which is like perhaps 80 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: the most technologically sophisticated that you're gonna look at for months. Yeah, 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: you can see that with one eye and the other. 82 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: You feel like you're back in there.

It takes the 176 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: weight of that rifle off. Yeah, I do dark, but 177 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: not the daytime. Yeah, definite speeds it up. My wife 178 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: loved that, um that little guide to that you put 179 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: on your shoulder strap your backpack, because one thing I've 180 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: never thought about is you look at her and like 181 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: she's got her backpack on and then there's no shoulders. 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: They come outside of her backpack straps. So she puts 183 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: her sling on and it's just like it's constantly falling 184 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: off of her back back there's no extra bone and me, yeah, 185 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: you like, clip that in there and put the guide 186 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: up and it just stays riding there all day. She 187 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: loved it. Yeah, definitely kind of an optional clip, but 188 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: that'll that'll be included in the sling. But yeah, I 189 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: use it all the time, both both buckles and the clip. 190 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: But definitely let's keep less tension on the sling itself 191 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 1: and hold that sling steady and not move around.

Whoa, it was a giant, but 242 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: our cats are so ugly back home. That was thing 243 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: is um Yanni's cat. You just want to bury your 244 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: face on that thing. Yeah, because they got the big 245 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: What makes a bobcat and the what makes it cool 246 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: and valuable is the if it's got, yes, like a 247 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: clean white belly with well defined black spots. And uh, 248 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: it's funny about bobcats is you know, a few years 249 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: ago and this stuff is always exaggerated, like like a 250 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: few years ago cats were exceptionally high, and everybody run 251 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: around being like Bobcat's worth a wep because it's like 252 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: maybe like one bobcat sold for eleven so then it 253 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: becomes every bob cot on the planet's worth. So I 254 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: don't really know, they're very valuable. It was like a 255 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: lot of guys were getting like six hundred dollars, eight 256 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for high elevation Western bobcats. At the same 257 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: time a bobcat from my home state of Michigan would 258 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: be worth fifteen dollars because they don't have that belly. 259 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: Why you know, I don't know, man. I was texting 260 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: about a similar thing with our our good friend and 261 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: your fellow Arizona James Heuflefinger. This morning work was a 262 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: little bit about stuff. This morning I sent him a 263 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: picture a kid had sent me a picture of a 264 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: deery killed in Florida. To had like that crazy black 265 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: mask um and the helple fingers like it just seems 266 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: like a Florida thing. Man like deer that have some 267 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: weird throwback to when they at a point when they 268 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: had face markings, like like dark facial markings. And he said, 269 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: in that area, it's I'm going to get him with 270 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: varying degrees of black marks. And I don't know if 271 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: it has something to do with um, it would be 272 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: an interesting thing to take a bobcat, you know, from 273 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: nine thousand feet in Wyoming and send him to Michigan 274 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: and with his progeny wind up having not spots. Hmm. Yeah, 275 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: oh I caught a little teeny bobcat, like teeny teeny um, 276 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: but one slipper. That yeah, one slipper, But I was 277 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: an impressive one at Yanni's got And they're filming a 278 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: thing right now about hound hunting throughout hound hunting for lions, 279 00:15:42,200 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: and Yann he's got his pound puppy dog in all 280 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: the credit to um Jake's dogs. Well, I think he's 281 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: got like some like unbelievable dogs and so Mingus must 282 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: not have been in there mixing it up on that one. 283 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, but Yanni's pretty modest about I mean, 284 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: he's a pound dog. I think if he would, if 285 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Yanni would go out like his he got the dog 286 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: for his kids and then sort of after the fact 287 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: wanted to make it like a lion hound. I think 288 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: if he had started out right getting a lion hound 289 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: from one of his lion hound friends, be in a 290 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: different place right now. Agreed to a certain degree. I mean, 291 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: a hound's brain is dedicated to that nose, So I 292 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: think I think that breed of all is gonna probably 293 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be chasing something like you can kind of 294 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: get on board or not. You know, when that dog 295 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: comes in, Like when we're staying somewhere and I have 296 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: my dolphel bag and that dog comes in, it spends 297 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: it devotes about an hour and a half to your 298 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: Duffel bag. I'm like, what what just like every single 299 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: thing in there. I'm like, you know, most dogs have 300 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: come in and do like a once over, but no, 301 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: he just unpacks it with his nose. If he's getting 302 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: information off that thing, that's like from the last guy 303 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: that owned it. If you could like plug in like 304 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: a ticker tape thing and just be like just peeling 305 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: out rolls at information.

Whoa, Yeah, 336 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: so that's what I was curious. Did you start to 337 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: shave and then you went like Michael Stipe then just 338 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: went short? Yeah? Yeah, no. I got plenty of unsolicited 339 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: feedback as to I should just shave my head. Yeah, 340 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: well you normally do. And now you kind of got 341 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: the little side deal going to hunt. Oh the touncture, 342 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: that's what monks would call it, um, But yeah, I'm 343 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: aware of that. It's just I shaved my own head 344 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: and it kind of gets knocked in down the list. Next, 345 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: when did your fall out started? Probably?

And there's a detail 358 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: that the next day some soldiers were coming up the 359 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: valley and they didn't know what happened, and they saw 360 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: on the hillside brown splotches, brown things on the hillside, 361 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: and they saw spear white things stained in blood on 362 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: the hillside. They thought that the the Custers command, most 363 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: of caught the Sue and Cheyenne in the midst of 364 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: a buffalo hunt, and that what they were seeing was 365 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: buffalo hides laid out, and then the white fat of 366 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: buffalo streaked in blood upon closer inspection, it was dead 367 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: horses and stripped and mutilated irishman and that white skin 368 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: was so white it looked like buffalo fat. You think 369 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: about that, cal it certainly lines up. I mean I 370 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: remember looking at my grandpa's legs, you know, I'd like 371 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: cross his legs and his slacks it ride up a 372 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: little bit, and just being kind of horrified. Yeah, in awe, 373 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: like a translucent type of situation there, like it's just 374 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: been just had has not seen vitamin D in decades. 375 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: Another question that came in is what's up with Danny's neckcare? 376 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Yeah, yeah, I think these are 377 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: the same folks that give you an unsolicited advice on 378 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: how to cut your hair because you're not doing yourself 379 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: any favors, right, and they're like, look at that neck 380 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: hair that guy. Why on earth did Robert Abernathy throw 381 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: raisins in his wild turkey salad? I'll point out that 382 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: that's the question of a not very careful observer. I 383 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: think he threw cherries into that. So here's my question 384 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: to you, why can't you pay better attention? Damn? But 385 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: in all this time and effort, next show, don't pay 386 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: attention to the details. Well, it's the last time I 387 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: ate a steak. I eat him all the time. I'm 388 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: sure the question is beef steak. Yeah, they're skinny shaming me. 389 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: It's still okay to skinny shame people. It is the 390 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: last thing. The last thing you'll be able to do 391 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: is you'll be able to ridicule poor Southern males. Like 392 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: that'll never You'll always be able to do that, Like 393 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: you'll always be able to ridicule on movies or whatever. 394 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: You'll be able to ridicule poor Southern males, and everyone 395 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: will always think that's funny. Like they'll never get like, oh, 396 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that, that's terrible. It's like they'll they'll 397 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: always be a target. Yeah, but didn't we talk about 398 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: this on the on the trip, And you'll always people, 399 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: no one, no, no no matter how woke society gets, they'll 400 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: still think it's a good idea to ridicule poor Southern males. 401 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: We talked. I was thinking that it was like a 402 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: deal where someone's trying to give you a compliment, but 403 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: they're like making a little under talk. Still skinny shame. Yeah, 404 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: I just got skinny shame by two women, right and 405 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they're trying to shame you. 406 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: I think they're like trying to compliment. But then it's 407 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: like Jason and I were saying, how we get told 408 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: all the time, like, God, you're just too ripped, you 409 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: got too much muscle going on. That's not what it is. 410 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time it's okay to skinny shame. 411 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it shouldn't be. I'm just saying 412 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: it's puzzling to me because as society start, I was 413 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: collectively saying, we're gonna stop dogging on each other all 414 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: the time about stuff, not that one. I do think 415 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: it will eventually become bad to skinny shame, and then 416 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: movies will still make fun of poor Southern males. It's 417 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: my prediction about that. I think, yeah, sure, I mean, 418 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 1: folks are gonna folks like ribbon on each other, right, 419 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: so you're gonna rally around the things that are still acceptable. 420 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: I was making the comment we did some hockey playing 421 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Actually, while you guys were 422 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: in Mexico, and uh, folks were talking about like old 423 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: hockey movies, and I had purchased a bottle of Newman's 424 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: own salad dressing for the trip Paul Newman's and a 425 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: famous old hockey movie. Um oh yeah yeah and movie 426 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: a long time ago was what the heck is it? 427 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember very uh grapes. Anyway, we'll figure it out. 428 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: But he like slap Shot. I couldn't. I was I yeah, 429 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: slap shot. He thought it was slap shot? What was 430 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: his what was his search? Can you tell me what 431 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: I feel like? I feel like he didn't. I thought 432 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: he typed in Paul Newman hockey movie shown. Yes, absolutely, 433 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: I'll give it to you guys on um that anyway, 434 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: just an example of like something uh in one's past 435 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: that was apparently broadly socially acceptable at the time, type 436 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: a humor that is like like, you cannot, it's hard 437 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: to make it through that movie. At this point you 438 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: went a little bit yeah, big time, big time. And 439 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: then you know Newman's own foundation all profits go to 440 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: philanthropic deals, and you're like this guy on the salad 441 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: dressing once said this in a movie. Yeah, someday, the 442 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: wrong person is gonna watch Slapshot, and Paul Newman's whole 443 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: thing is gonna be over many Steve I got a 444 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: question for you real fast.

It was just reading fine print is 472 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm going down. We're gonna get down to the bottom 473 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: of I bought these on Amazon. I bought five for 474 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: ten bucks. What power twos? You know, I was gonna 475 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: tell you when you brought that up the last time. 476 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: My my buddy Kyler's dad passed away, right, and we 477 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: used a bunch of communal stuff for horse packing and 478 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: and things like that, And every every item that we 479 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: touched of his had a pair of reading glasses in it, 480 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: the little fold up ones that you know that that 481 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: fold out. So I just went to that strategy. I 482 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: was trying to do the thing where you have a 483 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: pair everywhere that she doesn't work. Now I have a 484 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: pair of everywhere, so funny saddle bags, old duffel bags, 485 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: the jockey box in his truck, the glove compartment in 486 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: his truck.

What are you thinking that itels all that 491 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: hurts Phelps because Phelps and me did a episode together. Yeah, listen, Felts, 492 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: that was not a hit against you. Man to say, 493 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: um that, to say, uh, Felts, I'll give you some 494 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: money later. Listen, you just gotta do your next l 495 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: count while holding your breath under water. That was a 496 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: great episode. That was a great episode. We had a 497 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: good time, loved it. But um, I just like I said, man, 498 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: I feel like I wasted my life by not being 499 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: a spear fisherman. It's not my fault because where I 500 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: was born. I wasted my life and if I could 501 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: redo it all over again, that's all I would do. 502 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you from a viewer standpoint, I really 503 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: enjoy the spear fishing stuff and some of the stuff 504 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: on your social media. It's yeah, it's something that even 505 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: though you're from Arizona. Well, I'm fascinated by it. I've 506 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: never done it, but it's kind of gotten meat to 507 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: thinking of doing it. It's hard all the other cool stuff, 508 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: especially at this point in life. I think it'd be 509 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: very different, Uh if if you started out of the 510 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: gate being able to hunt on land and hunt in 511 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: the water. But at this point in life, he is 512 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: literally being dropped into another world and it's hard to 513 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: recreate that experience elsewhere. Right, So like that's kind of 514 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: what you're up against. It's super new, So it's fun, right, 515 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: it brings back like the kidding you that's the steep 516 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: part of the learning curve, right, Yeah, exactly, you've done 517 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: it quite a bit too, right, trying trying, Yeah, yeah, 518 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: the efforts there, we might lose Kale to spear fishing. 519 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean, like he's gonna die because he had a 520 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: tricky squeeze and bled out his nose and then he's 521 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: got a problem where he comes up and kind of 522 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 1: like gets a little fainty. Well that is one question 523 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: I had, like can you and just kind of surface 524 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: fish or do you technically you have to dive. Spent 525 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: many years just surface fishing so you can just enjoy spots. 526 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: But then I then I really but the people that 527 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: are serious about it, they're like they kind of like 528 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: mostly regard themselves as free divers. But we would go 529 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: to the Bahamas and and you know you're like the 530 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: deep as you go as eight feet right and did 531 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: all that, but it's it's you're just does it become 532 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: a point where like you gotta get to the depths 533 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: to get where the bigger fish are. And I think 534 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: that if if I could get where I could comfortably fish, 535 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: if I could get where I could spend a minute 536 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: at seventy ft um free diving, if I could go 537 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: down and lay on the bottom for a minute at 538 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: seventy ft, I would be very happy with myself. So 539 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: how long would you say, Like, I would sign that 540 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: contract right now. Yeah, And that's that's your max. I 541 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: would say if I could have a down to like 542 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: a minute laying on the bottom of seventy ft of water, 543 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: if someone said like I'll give you that, but you'll 544 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: never have more, that's as deep as you can go, Yep, 545 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: you can will sign it right now. You can spend 546 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: a minute at seventy ft. You'll never get another thing, 547 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: but I'll give it to you right now. I would 548 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: sign in that contract. Yeah, yeah, I mean that that's like, 549 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: that's that's probably like a little bit more than what 550 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: you really need. In most most places, you do a 551 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of fishing, hell of a lot 552 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: of fishing. When when you say that, though, Steve, how 553 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: how long does it take you? Because I'm thinking about 554 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: this in terms of just holding your breath, how long 555 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: does it take you to get down there and back up? 556 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: It would be a two minute downtime, two minutes down underwater, 557 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: to be underwater two minutes total total? Yeah, because, uh, 558 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: you might have a max breath hold Jill. The max 559 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: static breath hold is what type that? In Phil It's 560 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: it's like like nine minutes max. Like that. That's not 561 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: exerting yourself, right, So if a free diver, like if 562 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: if you're talking to a good spirit like take like 563 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: Greg Fons, okay, um, and I might I might mutilate 564 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: his numbers. Apologies Greg. But let's say Greg Fonts has 565 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: a downtime. His like, his known downtime is three minutes, 566 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: meaning he can go down for three minutes, not a problem. 567 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: Most of his dives are gonna be ninety seconds because 568 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: when you come to the surface, your recovery needs to 569 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: be twice as long as how long you were down, 570 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: so it takes away how responsive you can be to 571 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: what you saw while you were down right. Also, you 572 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: can run into trouble, meaning like let's say Greg is 573 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: spearing oil rigs. You go down, everything's going fine, you 574 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: shoot a fish. The fish shoots through one of the 575 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: support columns and kind of rats around your leg a 576 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: little bit. Now, if you've already overstayed, if you're downtime's 577 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: three minutes, and you're like, oh, I'm at two minutes 578 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: thirty seconds, because it's only gonna take me thirty minute, 579 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: thirty seconds to get to the top, and then you 580 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: do something like that, not what happens to you. So 581 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: they'll they'll just do like ninety second dived dive, three 582 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: minute recovery time, ninety second dive, three minute recovery time, 583 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: and they're just and they developed that Caiten, So it's 584 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: not always about it's not always about like what can 585 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: you maximum get away with, you know, And so they'll 586 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: if they're comfortable at three, they're probably up at ninety seconds. 587 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: And then if something crazy happens, like you're down there 588 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: and then you see something, you still have something you 589 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: reserve to go make it happen. But they're not down 590 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: there like pushing limits all the time. The world record 591 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: was set in team by a Spanish free diver at 592 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: twenty four minutes and three seconds static breath hold, No way, 593 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: no way, was he breathing out his nose. Article on 594 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: how like scientifically it's done, But I haven't. You have 595 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. I think it's like cold water, 596 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: certain depths. There's some things to it. Um that's somebody 597 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: gets some fish that doesn't do anything right. That's like 598 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: there's no exertion because any bit of exertion sucks up oxygen. 599 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: Even Kimmy Werner was saying on this spearfishing episode we 600 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: did were me and cal are kind of expose our 601 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: expose our beginnernus. And you know, Kimmey's a pro, like 602 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: literally has been a professional spear fisher woman and recaptured 603 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: like the what we captured on film that like shows 604 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: off Kimmy's capabilities is like the tip of the spirit 605 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: for like it's it's incredible. No, she wasn't feeling very good, 606 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: uh and talking about exertion um cocking a three prong 607 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: that like they're so in tune, like the good free 608 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: divers are so in tune with their own physiology that 609 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: she'll notice the impact on her downtime of having a 610 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: three prong cocked because you're putting grip on something and 611 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: that burns oxygen, like when Greg gets up. Like they 612 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: don't drink. They're like monastic in there on dive days. 613 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: And I've gone with them. They're they're they're they're like monks, 614 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, like they're watching. They don't want to drink 615 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: the night before. If you're really trying to perform peak, 616 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: like you don't want to drink the night before. There's 617 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: a guy that cuts out dairy days before for any 618 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: kind of clare like mut like mucus build up in 619 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: your head. No coffee. Super careful about any medications you take, 620 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: very careful about food you eat, avoid acids. It's a 621 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: deep dark hole, which is but it's about like knowing 622 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: yourself and your capabilities, which I want to swing back 623 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: to um the issues that that I've been having. And 624 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, I worked on like a lot of breath 625 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: hold charts and did a lot of training UM and 626 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: and really did make giant leaps and improvements and in 627 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: my abilities. And and the reality is, like I think 628 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: I'm always going to be susceptible to the mistakes I've 629 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: been making. Uh, But it's it's a training and repetition 630 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: thing and and certainly a mental thing of knowing like 631 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 1: the safe way to push your boundaries and improve and 632 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: and sticking to that, you know. So it's it's awesome, 633 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: Like I just absolutely love it. Wasted my life, wasting 634 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: my life, and you're getting old. It's over now. I 635 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: still had fun with Felps. Here's a question Felps from 636 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: a listener. What what were your backpack setups on the 637 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: Elk episode. I had a x O Mountain year, which 638 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: I like, a whole bunch and then what you have 639 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: for and then explain your arrow set up because I 640 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: mimicked felps Ero set up. So I was running a 641 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: Cafar forty four mag on that sob in um pack 642 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: on that one, and then a similar we had similar size, 643 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: similar size. We knew we were only gonna be you know, 644 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: three to five days, so it was a perfect size 645 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: without a bunch of extra room. Um, we still have 646 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: the ability as soon as we killed to take you know, 647 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: a quarter out on that first low. It's a really 648 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: good setups in that that you know, four thousand and 649 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: five thousand range. But as far as the arrow setups, um, 650 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: we didn't go completely ashby. We just went with, you know, 651 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: a semi micro diameter arrow from Black Eagle, and we 652 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: put a lot of weight on the in the insert. 653 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: So I think we were both shooting at grains on 654 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: the insert and then we were both shooting a hundred 655 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: grain iron will broadheads. Um, so kind of not in 656 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: my my specific set up. I don't know where you 657 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: ended up. I have a longer arrow, a little bit 658 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 1: heavier arrow. I was it like grains um total arrow? Yeah, 659 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you're I think you're probably in 660 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: the low fives. I just wanted to switch everything up, 661 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: so I asked Felts that I should use, and that's 662 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: what Felps told me I should do. So I got 663 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: exactly the arrows and exactly the broadheads he said, and 664 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: had that like pretty close range frontal shot. That bull 665 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: took two steps and it looked like a garden holes 666 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: coming out of his brisket. Yeah. It fell over dead. Yeah, 667 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: like somebody watched it fall over dead. Yeah. I mean, 668 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: if you were to fill you know, Allen jug up 669 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: with some you know, water with some red food coloring 670 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: and you just drilled that and just watched it explode basically. 671 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's it was like just a Yeah, I 672 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: heard Phelps bull go down and that was I was 673 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: twenty yards away from him and I heard it hit 674 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, very very short blood trails on those 675 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: with the very controversial frontal shot. Um. There's a question 676 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: farrell goat hunting in Hawaii. Is there a process for 677 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,399 Speaker 1: Farrell goat hunting in Hawaii? There isn't. There isn't. We 678 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: were hunting on a private ranch, big ranch north of 679 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 1: wai Kaloa. That charge like there's like a trespass fee. 680 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: There's a trespass fee, and then I think for different 681 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: species there's trophy fees as well. So it's like if 682 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: you kill something really big um that they're trying to 683 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: keep around, there's there's something. But I think there's a 684 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: lot of folks that you could call over there. And 685 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: then then the locals hunt. Just the locals just hunt 686 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: up in the mountains for goat and sheep, like just 687 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: local meat hunters go up and hunt the mountains. But 688 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: they're not gonna tell you. They're not gonna be like, oh, yeah, 689 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: I go here, No way, no way. If you're going 690 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: through all the hassle like to get over to Hawaii 691 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: and all that, um, and you want to go do it? 692 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: I mean that's what we did. Yeah. I think it's 693 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: a great first step at least, and for all the 694 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: activities that there are over there, it would be a 695 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: very efficient use of your time too. So um, someone 696 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: asked like, how Kimmy, what how deep was Kimmy going 697 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: under the water? Like, so we're talking about that seventy 698 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: ft thing. Kimmy can very comfortably fish at seventy feet. 699 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: She can fish over a hundred feet deep. I don't 700 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: know what her deepest dive is, but I mean she 701 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: can fish it a hundred and over a hundred feet 702 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: of water. Yeah. Um, yeah, she she did tell us that. 703 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean it is it's she may have done like 704 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: one thirty for a minute and thirty. It's some something 705 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: very similar to that. I you know, after we were 706 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: done filming, we went fishing for a few days and 707 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: I didn't you know, witness I swam with Kimmy on 708 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: her birthday And that was like the day that she 709 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: must have been feeling very good and just decided to 710 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: not uh deal with me. I was there just trying 711 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: to keep up and watch the scene, and the depth 712 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: didn't stick out to me. But just the comfort of 713 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: being underwater underneath big boulders, underneath caves for long periods 714 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: of time with with you know, your your running line 715 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: from that attaches your spear to your gun, you know, 716 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: going all over the place through fish They're wrapping up 717 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: on things and from the top side looking down like 718 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: my heart was going because I was like, oh God, 719 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 1: that the is not She's been down there a long time. 720 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: It seems like a dangerous situation or a potentially dangerous situation, 721 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: and but you're you're watching a person who is completely 722 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: confident and completely relaxed, Like there is no difference than heard, uh, 723 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, untangling her fly line on the bank versus 724 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: untangling this line underneath. It's like Steve would say, would 725 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: be very like do do do do do do. I 726 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: went back with my wife and kids between Christmas and 727 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: New Year's The spearfish is Kimmy again and I'm so jealous. Man, 728 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: waste my life. I'll tell you that helps multiple times. 729 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: What was the tastiest fishy eight in Hawaii? Oh, we're 730 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: the camera operators using scuba or free diving free diving. 731 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: Kimmy's husband is a phenomenal Justin a phenomenal underwater photographer. 732 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: He shot Kimmy's husband. Justin shot a lot of the 733 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: underwater stuff. You're looking at the dirt shot out of it. 734 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: Dirt's comfortable in the water. Yeah. Rick Smith is a 735 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: Rick shot. Yeah. Some of the highly like some of 736 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: the real doozies were Justin Justin on the deep stuff. 737 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,760 Speaker 1: And we we we actually uh yeah, and we'll probably 738 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,959 Speaker 1: we'll probably use him again. I'm hoping to use him again. 739 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: Oh definitely. I mean we talked about on on the 740 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: podcast that we did in Hawaii, but watching Kimmy do 741 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: her thing incredibly impressive. And then Justin is there, you 742 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: know basically driving uh, like an old portable television underwater 743 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: would be like a similar like you know, like a 744 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: fifteen inch old portable television for those of you old 745 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: enough to remember something like that. That's like what he 746 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: is pushing ahead of him in the water doing, you know, 747 00:43:54,160 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: very very similar. Yeah, and it's it's unreal. So we 748 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: did an episode about Ibex. Have you ever done the 749 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: Ibex hunt? Jack In New Mexico. I drew uh like 750 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: a the way the tags were because they have a 751 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 1: once in a lifetime tag where you can hunt any 752 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: ibex and then get a big male and they got 753 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: what I don't know for horns are insane. I had 754 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 1: a tag this good for a female or immature billy. 755 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: So the horns gonna be like sub fourteen. And we 756 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: did an episode about this. This This is a great spot 757 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: and they they hang out in the Florida mountains and 758 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: someone asked, why don't they just strike off and why like, 759 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: why do they stay in the Florida's um. It's surrounded 760 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: by I'll start by saying they don't desert flats, but 761 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: it's surrounded by desert flats. So this this is a 762 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 1: mountain dwelling cliff dwelling. Credit. When I say cliff dwelling, 763 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: I mean they dwell on cliffs, vertical cliff faces. They 764 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: are quite at home hanging out on vertical cliff face. 765 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: So that's they're like, that's their refuge, vertical cliff faces. UM. 766 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: And this thing sits out there's like an island mountain chain. 767 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: It's like if you imagine a flat sea with a 768 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: rocky island on it. That's kind of like the flat 769 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: sea being the surrounding desert, and then you have this 770 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: rock pile. People even call the mountain range like the 771 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: rock so it's full of rattlesnakes. There's a lot of rattlesnakes. Ye. 772 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: When they get you know there, they just hang out 773 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: on the cliff faces to avoid predators. So he's got 774 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: to like give up that that desire to leave, and 775 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: they do leave. But the way they run it is 776 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: the state is comfortable with them being in the Floridas 777 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: where they were introduced. The state's not comfortable with them 778 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: being out of the Floridas. You can at any time, 779 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 1: a new Mexican resident can any time buying ibex, tag 780 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: and shoot any ibex they see that's not in the 781 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: Florida Mountains, and they do strike off. And um our 782 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: friend on there, Jeremy Romero with Wildlife Federation. He uh, 783 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: fantastic human being. Yeah, probably one of the best Phelps 784 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: is gonna get offended by this. The best person on 785 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: the planet, Jeremy Romeo. I just come out and saying 786 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: the best person on the planet Jeremy Romeo, followed closely 787 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: by my children. Um uh, he's got friends and he's 788 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: they know people that have now and then like been 789 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: out doing something and one of the surrounding mountain chains 790 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, and I bex and 791 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: you run down and get a tag and it's all yours. 792 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: And that's how they keep them from spreading out, which 793 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: is very similar to how do they're running to how 794 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: New Mexico is running the um Orcx situation where um 795 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 1: orracs were introduced down to the White Sands Missile Range. 796 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: They have a robust population there, it's very hard to 797 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: draw the tag. And then around White Sands they're running. Uh. 798 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: I think it's eleven seasons a year. Each season is 799 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: a month long. I drew that too, so you pick 800 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: your month when you apply, and like each seasons a 801 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: month long. So outside of the White Sands Missile Range 802 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: they're being hunted upper two hundred. I don't know what 803 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: the hell it is. I can't do the math very good. 804 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: Three days is it one month or two months? They 805 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: don't hunt them down there. I used to be twelve 806 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: months a year. I think it's ten months a year. 807 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: They're hunting them three hundred days a year off base, 808 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: and it's like when you get a tag it's on 809 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: range off range, and they're just gradually getting them whittled 810 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: away where they're confined only to that missile range and anything. Basically, 811 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 1: it's not a free for all, but basically anything that 812 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:49,399 Speaker 1: disperses across that fence line is is basically up for grabs. UM. 813 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: And you'll see that most people that kill one when 814 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: you draw the off range, most orcs to get killed 815 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: or killed within five miles of defense. Anyways, people aren't 816 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 1: now and then they do. It's not like people are 817 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: finding them a hundred miles away. You know, they're kind 818 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 1: of getting them. They're getting the ones that flirt with 819 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: the border. Uh, this is one for ja. This is 820 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: what this is. This is I'm gonna have you field 821 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: this one. Because of where you live. When you head 822 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 1: into rattlesnake territory, do you wear anything different or carry 823 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: anything for extra protection? Being in Arizona, genuine Arizona. A 824 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: lot of guys wear snake shaps. I don't want to 825 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: say don't do it, but I don't. UM had a 826 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: lot of close encounters, but you just got to be 827 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: really aware of constantly watching the ground, constantly watching where 828 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm putting my hands, my feet anything. You just stay 829 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: you stay vigilante. Can you can you answer for me 830 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: while we're on the subject, why in Sonora hunting COO's dear, 831 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 1: why do you just not see rattlesnakes? So we've seen 832 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: a few um in twenty six years, so I don't 833 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: want to say you don't, but there becomes a point 834 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: in time when it's cold enough at night that most 835 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: of them den up because blow freezing every night. Yeah. Interesting. 836 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: We have a ranch in Chihuahua that we punted three 837 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: years in a row now and we found a snake 838 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 1: den and it's right up against this cliff face and 839 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: where you kind of have to walk to get up 840 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: on top to glass. You got it. The way the 841 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: angle of the hill is, you actually have to get 842 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: really close, like from here to the wall of this den. 843 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: And the first year the guys found it, you know, 844 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,479 Speaker 1: they came back that night and they were like, yeah, 845 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: we were, you know, walking along this cliff face, and 846 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: we heard one rattle and then we started looking in 847 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: and it was just full of snakes. And then one 848 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,800 Speaker 1: of my guides, Nate, actually got down on all fours 849 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: and was looking in the hole, and one of the 850 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: other guys said, Nate, don't move, and in the grass 851 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: he was kind of down on all fours looking in. 852 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty cool. I saw it this year. 853 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: There was a snake coiled right next to his left 854 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: hand and probably fifteen inches from his face. But it 855 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: was old, so he just kind of backed away. Um. 856 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: But they will get on those south facing slopes in 857 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,439 Speaker 1: their dens, and sometimes when it warms up, they will 858 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 1: just kind of ease out a little bit just to 859 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: get the warm soak it up a little bit. Um. 860 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: But the reason you don't see them as primarily they're 861 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: denned up when we're hunting. No, I no, I didn't 862 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: bother me. But on the New Mexico, Sam or a 863 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 1: producer about got it. Yeah. Well it's funny is there's, 864 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, like a great abundance of grasshoppers, you 865 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: know when they jump, Oh yeah, but you got hundreds 866 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: of them. So it's a constant noise of it grasshoppers 867 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: and we're walking along. And also there's like a like 868 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: a different cadence. And I don't even think Sam put 869 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 1: it together, no, but I like heard like a a 870 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: grasshoppers and she'd walk very It doesn't matter what time 871 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: of year it is for me When you you know, 872 00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: you step on like dead grass or something and you 873 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: hear that noise, you know, when you get scared enough, 874 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: like initially you literally feel like your heart like I 875 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: just lost twenty minutes off my life when I still 876 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 1: hear grasshoppers click or or leaves or branches that just 877 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: have that sound of I've been around enough snakes that 878 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, I'm convinced I've probably taken a 879 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 1: month off my life when you add up all the 880 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: times that it wasn't a snake. But you've never been hit, no, 881 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: never been struck. Um oh, here's a question that came 882 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 1: in thermal imaging. We discussed thermal imaging on a recent podcast. Uh, 883 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: like Utah band thermal imaging, thermal night vision, which is 884 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: really like taking over though coyote. It's like firmly ingrained 885 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: into hog hunting. It's really impacting kyote hunting. Um Utah 886 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: bandit because I know that people are using the scout 887 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: right you follow her it all night long. Uh. And 888 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: he's asked, what about game recovery? In my view, I 889 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: don't understand that. I don't really understand the reasoning behind, 890 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: let's take away the enforcement aspect. Okay, like meaning this, 891 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: Let's say a state like Utah says okay, no thermal 892 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 1: imaging UM, and they just say you just can't use 893 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: thermal night vision equipment. It's probably because it's then it 894 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: winds up being that you have no reason to have 895 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 1: it with you in someone if you were allowed to 896 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: use it for game recovery, then he'd be like, oh no, 897 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: I just have it for game recovery. And it just 898 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: makes enforcement heart So if you never mind that complexity, 899 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't see the reason. I don't see any reason 900 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: to do anything that that makes any rules that make 901 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: game recovery harder. I I think the laws that mean 902 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 1: you that say you can't use a leashed dog for 903 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: game recovery is stupid. It's already hit like let the 904 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: person find it. I think the and this is always 905 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 1: the issue, right, is like the where the intent gets misused. 906 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 1: So um in theory, is this going to uh make 907 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 1: that small fraction of the hunting population take a poorer shot, 908 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: try to force an opportunity that isn't really there because 909 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: they know they are. Their confidence lies in their game 910 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 1: recovery technology, Like my dog will find it. My dog 911 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,359 Speaker 1: will find you. Just gotta get a piece of it, Yeah, 912 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: get you know. Yeah, And so do you think do 913 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 1: you think that do you think that that would happen? Yeah? Absolutely? 914 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, what is the Venn diagram 915 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: of the overlap of the folks who don't even buy 916 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 1: a license or a tag and are out there hunting 917 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 1: with the folks who are like just just hack away 918 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: at it. We got thermal imaging in the trick. We'll 919 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 1: find it. Because the thing too a dog. You gotta 920 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: if you're using the blood tracking dog and it's on 921 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 1: a leash um or you're using thermal imaging, the things 922 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 1: as be dead. Well okay with the leash dog, Well no, 923 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: you're right, because it could be hold up under a 924 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: tree and you could jump it back up again. Yeah, 925 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: and then that, yeah, I get it. If there was 926 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: like a magical box that you know, it was like 927 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 1: break glass in case of right, I'd be like, yeah, 928 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: I have your thermal imaging in there, your blood trailing dog, 929 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: you're you know whatever, drone in the sky. Because I 930 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: don't like the idea wasted meat or or an animal 931 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna suffer needlessly or whatever, Right, so it's it's 932 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 1: a tough one. Wasn't that the argument against iluminox. You 933 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: know it's like, you know you're gonna hunt too late 934 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: in the night, and I think you just other people 935 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: are like, well, no, it just helps with recovery, right, 936 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like a slippery slope that 937 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 1: I agree. Man, I think if you're just using it 938 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: for recovery, like let's say people are totally honest and 939 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 1: not dumb, then I would say the other side is too. Man. 940 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: With like thermal imaging, the investment level you have to 941 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 1: go to to then go break the law, you know, 942 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: like you just got to imagine it's not like throwing, 943 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, a spotlight in your backpack and you're like, oh, 944 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go night hunt. Now. It's like that 945 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: that level of investment that's required around thermal imaging. I 946 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: just don't see those folks want to go out there 947 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: and then like try to find something in then they 948 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 1: can shoot it. I think too, there's a thing where 949 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 1: people that don't understand the technology are always sort of 950 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 1: it would be like this, Let's say someone sitting in 951 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 1: Colorado and they're gonna sign a thing that says you 952 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: can't hunt lions with dogs, and their minds like, what's 953 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 1: a challenge? You know, they just understand that the challenge 954 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,879 Speaker 1: is incredible, right. It's it's like, if you want to talk, 955 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,280 Speaker 1: what was the challenge? It's a lot harder than shooting 956 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: deer out of a cornfield? Yea, if we're gonna if 957 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: everything's like, what's the challenge? Like, that's extraordinary. It's extremely challenging. 958 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 1: You have to know a lot to pull that off. 959 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 1: But I think that people look at technologies that didn't understand. 960 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,839 Speaker 1: They're also like they don't imagine being like this, um 961 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: they image being like it just simplifies everything. But we 962 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,959 Speaker 1: had the experience where we got from. We we got 963 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 1: some renter loner night vision equipment from this place called 964 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 1: Ultimate night Vision to mess around with it. And dude, 965 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: it's not like you just walk out and also you're like, 966 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: oh ah, right, you know we were blowing a predator 967 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 1: call at night. That stuff. There's a learning curveage. It's 968 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 1: it's not that all of a sudden, like the world 969 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 1: becomes easy, right you kind of we're sitting there, I 970 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: don't know, is it an orangutang? You just see a 971 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 1: little no it's a little baby mouse five ft. For me, 972 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,719 Speaker 1: it's either like a it's either a dear way out 973 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: or it's a little baby mouse nibbling on my toe. 974 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: I can't tell because I'm divorced from all spatial. Yeah, 975 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: you don't have any spatial. This uh. This guy came 976 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,760 Speaker 1: and visiting me a Javier for with Wounded Warrior Outdoors 977 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: and we went out with that thermal going after coyotes 978 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh g He's like, we got a 979 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: cout coming in. It's coming into the call and he's 980 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 1: getting all amp and I'm like, I just do not 981 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: because I was looking through thermal, like I do not 982 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: see this kylet and I'm like you sure, And he's 983 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: like yeah, I can see his xagg into us, and 984 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, god, dang, you know, so I just like 985 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: all I can see is that baboon. So I like 986 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 1: I pulled my eye out of the scope right because 987 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: we're like right next to each other. And I looked 988 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: and his a R is pointed like I'm not kidding you, 989 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: like fifteen feet in front of him and he's looking 990 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: down and look and it was a mouse. And he's 991 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 1: watching this mouse from back and forth right, but like 992 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: that spatial awareness because he couldn't see the train, you know, 993 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: and the stubble field looked like hills to him. That 994 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: was a Kyle running in and it was a mouse 995 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: at It's it's you know, I mean not even to 996 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: say like what anyone ought to do about just saying 997 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: you sort of get in your head that that there's 998 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 1: certain things that do have certain magical capabilities, and then 999 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 1: you messle and you're like, I'm guessing you could get there. 1000 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: Like if you're in the military and you train for 1001 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: years and years and years using this stuff, you probably 1002 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 1: get Really then you're probably it does become magical. But 1003 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,919 Speaker 1: just to open up a box and throw those things 1004 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 1: on or look through a scope, you're like more confused 1005 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 1: and you would be wandering around the dark at first. 1006 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: I do want to say, like in H. Garrett's UH 1007 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: point about the investment, like how many people that UH 1008 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 1: would weed out from wrongdoing. I was interviewing a game 1009 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 1: warden years ago and he had told me He's like, 1010 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, I don't care that much about the fines. 1011 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't go for big fines. It's like 1012 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,520 Speaker 1: what I go for is stuff. He's like I sees 1013 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: the toys. That's how you hurt these guys. He's like 1014 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: custom rifles. He's like, these folks have a laundry list 1015 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: of fines and things that they're already not paying child 1016 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 1: support that they're already h He's like, but you want 1017 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,120 Speaker 1: to see somebody have a come to Jesus moment. He's like, 1018 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: you see that custom rifle that they're so proud of. 1019 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: There is five thousand dollar thermal scope UM and bald. 1020 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: You have you got any insight into that at all? No, definitely, 1021 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 1: we we saw that where it was like you said 1022 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: that typically the folks who are out doing that are 1023 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 1: exactly that they're already not paying the fines, already not 1024 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: doing any of that stuff. And yeah, it's the physical 1025 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: possessions that they're worried about losing. Um. You know, I'd 1026 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: used thermals and and and night vision both in law enforcement, 1027 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: and that I have to agree. It's that's why the 1028 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,440 Speaker 1: like the Navy Seals have the four two goggles versus 1029 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 1: a you know, minocular that you're gonna see, you know, 1030 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 1: in the civilian market, depth perception, and it's it's tough. 1031 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,000 Speaker 1: You have a hard time, you know it takes a 1032 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 1: lot of practice shooting with that stuff and uma, it's 1033 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: just a whole different world. But I agree as well 1034 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 1: that the like like you said before, that the um 1035 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: there are a small number of people out there who 1036 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 1: if they have it with them, if they have that 1037 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 1: break glass in case of emergency situation, that would be great. 1038 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: But there's often to a lot of people out there 1039 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 1: that are going to be well, I brought it for this, 1040 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: but it's gonna help me find it, so I'm just 1041 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: gonna use it now and then tell them I didn't 1042 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: you know until I brought it with me. For the others. 1043 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one application for me for thermal imaging, 1044 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: which I've never used, but all my buddies were thinking, oh, 1045 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: you could find a big bowl or a big buck 1046 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: or whatever. I thought about turkeys roosted in a tree 1047 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 1: being a turkey hunter. How many times do you roost 1048 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: birds at night but you don't know exactly where they're at. 1049 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: You go in in the morning and you're like, do 1050 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 1: I shock them and wake them up? And then I 1051 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,919 Speaker 1: got to move a little closer and then they might 1052 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: hear me, see me whatever. And the application I thought 1053 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: of it would be like I know they're pretty close. 1054 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 1: Oh there they are, Okay, I need to move up 1055 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: a little bit closer. You don't have to make any noise. 1056 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Then you can just let them wake up and know 1057 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 1: that man go at one of the more because if 1058 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: you say, like no, find him at one in the 1059 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 1: morning and make a way point, because if you made 1060 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 1: him a little nervous at four in the morning, five 1061 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 1: of the morning, they'll be like all settled back down 1062 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: and it'll be like, whatever happened happened. But when the 1063 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: thermal imaging thing over the last couple of years has 1064 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 1: gotten big and we're just talking about big Bucks, I'm 1065 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: thinking about turkeys, I'm like, what an awesome opportunity to 1066 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: just be able to know exactly where they're at because 1067 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm always in the morning going God, I don't really 1068 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: want to shock him because then I wake him up. 1069 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Okay them? May I ask you this now? Yeah? Would 1070 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: you do it? I don't know, because here's the here's 1071 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 1: the question, and this is like the basis of this, right, 1072 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: is the gobbler you got that way as good as 1073 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 1: on a purity, the same gobbler that you made the 1074 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 1: wrong call to shock. You had to move they got nervous. 1075 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: They went the other way, and you had to come 1076 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,600 Speaker 1: back the next morning, screwed it up again, But the 1077 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 1: third morning you got him. I think I think I've 1078 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 1: screwed up so much that I might if it was legal. 1079 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if it actually is, but I think 1080 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 1: I might do it to just be able to be 1081 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: in position, know that I'm set up, um to have 1082 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 1: an interaction. I don't know, but I thought of turkeys. 1083 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Everyone else is thinking a big box. I'm thinking about turkeys. Yeah, 1084 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: it's a it's a real. Um. There's a Pandora's box 1085 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 1: man hiding at thermal scope box. Uh would you? Here's 1086 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: the guy rolling in this good one. I don't really 1087 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: get this. Did you read this cow? The guys saying that, um, 1088 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: what state is this? In Central Virginia? Does a guy 1089 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 1: raising none? Okay? He has a local Oh my god, 1090 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: it's so confusing to me. There's a new animal product 1091 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 1: being offered by a farm in my area. He goes 1092 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: on to say, in a partnership with another farm that 1093 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: is committed to sustainable egg practices. One of my local 1094 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: producers is offering local non GMO. That's like, okay, but no, 1095 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 1: I guess that doesn't. Yeah, there's no such thing as 1096 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 1: the gmo rainbow trout available to anyone, but they could 1097 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: be fed a non gmo corn. I suppose, so he's 1098 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: offering local, non gmo, no antibiotic rainbow trout raised and 1099 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 1: low capacity pens in a river. They're feeding him on 1100 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: wild venison. How is that true? The trout feed is 1101 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: described as not the normal GMO grains and antibiotics and 1102 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a dirty, tight capacity system. This is still quoting. They 1103 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: have a survival rate, which goes to show what a 1104 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: great setup it is for the fish. This is some 1105 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 1: of the only, some of the only ethically raised fish 1106 01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,440 Speaker 1: in the country that's okay. Feeding the us in is 1107 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: a double win as it thins the overpopulation of deer 1108 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 1: and gives the rainbow trout an excellent non gmo food. 1109 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: First off, wild deer not non gmo, especially in Virginia, 1110 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: because they're eating in gmo fields probably every night. But 1111 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,959 Speaker 1: what are they talking about? It could be that these 1112 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 1: are road kill, would be my That would be the 1113 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 1: easy answer. So then if the cars are thinning the population, 1114 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,439 Speaker 1: it's the cars that are thin the population. You gotta 1115 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,360 Speaker 1: keep in mind, like the big Sorry, I want to 1116 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: use the word battle because but it happens on a 1117 01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 1: lot of the national monuments over there that are battle 1118 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: fields where you have these crazy spikes and white tail population. 1119 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 1: They're getting them from sharpshooters who are could be some 1120 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 1: of that. Um, So that would be like the sourcing part. 1121 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: But the question of like would you eat that eats 1122 01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: this that's surprising is like yeah, of course, because you 1123 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: have no idea what a wild turkey has consumed in 1124 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Virginia's non GMO is just not true. It's just not 1125 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 1: not true. Yeah, Um, the and you know, like what 1126 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: what a beef for pig or chicken eats before it 1127 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 1: gets to your plate, Like I think you'd get surprised 1128 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: on what at least or at least that's a closed system. 1129 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you can you can tell what you know. 1130 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 1: But there's a question in there of like would you 1131 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 1: eat rainbow trout that eat deer? Wild rainbow uh anywhere 1132 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: in the country or wild brown trout a cutthroat. They're 1133 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: all eating, they're normal things and then they're trying out 1134 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 1: some odd things. Um, and you have no clue what 1135 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 1: you're going to find in that stomach. Really, like, for instance, 1136 01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: like that I caught last year was I always do 1137 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: a little stomach contents check, and you know it's like 1138 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: I have a pretty good idea what they eat. But 1139 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 1: this guy's gout had several rounds of what without testing 1140 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: is a wild gas, but I would describe as cheddar 1141 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: brought elk sausage. They had a distinct look of wild game, 1142 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 1: and I think you could attracted back to a local processors. 1143 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I I'd much rather eat a fish to 1144 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: eat deer than like worms. Like the deer seems like 1145 01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot better option the in and of itself. If 1146 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 1: someone told me that there's a great fish and it 1147 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 1: eats deer, I wouldn't care. I just like I guess 1148 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: I'm not able to really focus in on his question. 1149 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm more the details that leave me with a lot 1150 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: of questions that he even goes need to say. I'll 1151 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,680 Speaker 1: keep the names of the farm operations out of this email. 1152 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: Here's a good one. We're getting around it. We're gonna 1153 01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: get We're getting into cow's deer in a minute. Here, 1154 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,440 Speaker 1: here's no one they gotta knew. Uh, everybody knows, like 1155 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine was an m r NA vaccine, um man, 1156 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 1: these guys at Yale got one worked out for lime disease. 1157 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Very fascinating because it doesn't uh let me, let me 1158 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: put it to this way. So, the m r NA 1159 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: vaccine targets the antigens found in ticks aliva and alerts 1160 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 1: individuals to tick bites by triggering an immune response at 1161 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 1: the site of the bite. The vaccine also prevents the 1162 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 1: tick from feeding correctly, so it will quickly fall off 1163 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: the host, thereby reducing its ability to transmit pathogens and 1164 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 1: providing partial protection against the tick causing bacteria. Which is 1165 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 1: is I mean, I'd I'd sign up for that. I mean, 1166 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm thinking right now about turkeys, and was talking to 1167 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,480 Speaker 1: a friend of mine in Tennessee about going to get turkeys, 1168 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: and I mean, you you just get covered in tacks 1169 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 1: and they're the tiny one, you know. The I wonder 1170 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: if this one will become highly politicized. Well, no one's 1171 01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna come and tell you you have to get it, 1172 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: so it might not become politicized. If it's just like 1173 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 1: a thing. If if you want to go get it, it 1174 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,439 Speaker 1: it probably won't be political. Yeah, if someone says, by God, 1175 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:23,639 Speaker 1: by Monday, it's a creepy deal man. I man, Yeah, 1176 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 1: the TICK experience I had with UM, limes disease and 1177 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,720 Speaker 1: UM and you know the journey that you went through 1178 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 1: as well, Steve, Like, that's scary stuff. Man, I don't 1179 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 1: For our next close calls, UM, for our next Close 1180 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 1: Calls series, I'm gonna tell the Tick story. That's a 1181 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,840 Speaker 1: good one. I'm gonna have Jimmy sit down on it too. 1182 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: You me and my boy are gonna tell our lime 1183 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,640 Speaker 1: disease story, the heartbreaking Yeah, we haven't done it yet, 1184 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to telling it. Close call. Uh speak, 1185 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: Here's here's one for you. J speaking of being blind 1186 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 1: going blind? No, seriously. So, we cover a lot of 1187 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,800 Speaker 1: in the Close Calls series. We talked about this too. 1188 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:09,480 Speaker 1: We cover a lot of situations where UM hunters mistakenly 1189 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: identify a hunter for game, okay, shoot people on shooting 1190 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: other hunters an accident. An eye doctor writes in He's 1191 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 1: got a very interesting point that I hadn't considered in 1192 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 1: all these discussions we've had UM. He says, as an optometrist, 1193 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,879 Speaker 1: I'm curious as to what type of vision the hunters 1194 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: have that mistakenly shot another hunter thinking there were some 1195 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: big game animal I'm stereotyping here. This is him the 1196 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: eye doctor talking. I'm stereotyping here, but slightly far sighted 1197 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:48,599 Speaker 1: middle age males for years of age. Which middle aged 1198 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 1: males that age. That's a lot of hunters, right. Most 1199 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 1: of them that have never worn glasses before, eventually lose 1200 01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 1: their distance clarity in the same age as mentioned before. 1201 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 1: And most of the time they say they see just fine. 1202 01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: But he goes on to say, not according to my 1203 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 1: visual acuity charts. I wonder if they see a blurry 1204 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 1: ma million blob because they see quote just fine and 1205 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 1: decided and decided to shoot. Sometimes, putting a new pair 1206 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 1: of distance prescription glasses on a dude that thinks they 1207 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: can see, it's like putting distance prescription on a kid 1208 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 1: who truly has never seen clearly before. They're like wow. 1209 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,799 Speaker 1: So he goes on to say, if you're a hunter, uh, 1210 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: maybe there is cause for you now, and then get 1211 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 1: your eye exam. There could be someone who's spent their 1212 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 1: whole life thinking they see everything just great, and it's 1213 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,880 Speaker 1: the decline is so gradual that pretty soon they see 1214 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 1: a movement and they feel like, well, how would I 1215 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: make that mistake? But they're just not seeing the way 1216 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 1: they were seeing. I am that guy five years ago, 1217 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,880 Speaker 1: ten years ago, and you're not meaning to do anything wrong, 1218 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 1: but you think you have capabilities you don't. This year 1219 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: in the fall at the Odd six Ranch Hunter, we 1220 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 1: were actually drive into a spot in elk. Some milk 1221 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 1: ran out and he goes check out that bowl and 1222 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 1: I could tell it was a bull just because of 1223 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 1: his body. And I could tell it was a bull. 1224 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,559 Speaker 1: He's like he's got a little kicker without popping up 1225 01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 1: my binos. I mean, he's twenty six years old and 1226 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 1: can see it like that at two yards and I 1227 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: used to be able to. I just saw an elk, 1228 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:34,800 Speaker 1: could tell it was a bull, but I had to 1229 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 1: pop my bino was up to even see what he 1230 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 1: was talking about. To me, that was kind of the 1231 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: straw of like, hey, I need to go get surgery. 1232 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:47,639 Speaker 1: And now it's amazing how driving, you know, I mean, 1233 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,439 Speaker 1: I'm even thinking like this summer, like rowing my raft 1234 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: and stuff. How blurry I was actually seen not being 1235 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 1: able to see you know what I was missing? Yeah? Interesting, Yeah, 1236 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,040 Speaker 1: And it was just kind of a blurry blob. You 1237 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 1: can still see it, but you can't define it. That 1238 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 1: makes sense. I'm curious though, with these accidents, if it's 1239 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:13,680 Speaker 1: a like, do you imagine that this guy was like 1240 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:15,559 Speaker 1: looking at it and was like, I can't really tell 1241 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: what it is on his shoot and it's like this 1242 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: calm or like is it a site issue or a 1243 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 1: judgment excitement issue? But let's play let's play the optometris. 1244 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: Let's play he's not saying he doesn't know for sure, 1245 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 1: he's sound. It's a thing to wonder about, but let's 1246 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,840 Speaker 1: let's like take that as a thing. It would be 1247 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 1: that you've hunted your whole life and you've learned to 1248 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 1: like really trust your vision, but you don't realize that 1249 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 1: it's gone down and you're operating on a cockiness that 1250 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: came from that you developed over years of seeing very well. 1251 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: I like it's a reasonable thing to bring up, but 1252 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to I mean, everyone needs 1253 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 1: to pull up their buyos and do a check and 1254 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 1: say what am I shooting at? And I am not 1255 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 1: in any way excusing shooting people. I feel this guy's 1256 01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: I feel this guy's got like a couple of open 1257 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 1: slots and his like his schedule and he's trying to 1258 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 1: fill them. Let's let's I can't fathom, even if my 1259 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 1: eyesight it was going bad, how you would ever get 1260 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 1: to the point of let's just say regard let's take 1261 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,439 Speaker 1: people out of it. A black bear versus an both 1262 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 1: walk on four feet, Like, how do you ever get 1263 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,840 Speaker 1: to the point where you mistakenly to me, that means 1264 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 1: you're replacing an entire animal color characteristics, You've made the 1265 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,720 Speaker 1: decision to pull the trigger on what you think is 1266 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: behind the shoulder, Like, I'm not buying it. I'm just 1267 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,440 Speaker 1: saying that I don't think that would ever be even maybe, uh, 1268 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:48,599 Speaker 1: you know, in all the cases where a hunter has 1269 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: shot another hunter, you don't think that poor vision I 1270 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: might have something to do with some of it. I 1271 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,640 Speaker 1: think it could start it. But at the end of it, 1272 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,960 Speaker 1: there's got to be a judgment. Fact. I mean, you 1273 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,640 Speaker 1: have to end up everything. There's a judgment. I know 1274 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Similar to Jay's example where he right 1275 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,760 Speaker 1: off the bat he was off. But then there's the progressions. 1276 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,639 Speaker 1: There's that decision tree where you're gonna get a better look, 1277 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:13,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna figure out if that's the animal you want 1278 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: to shoot, where are you going to shoot it? Like 1279 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,519 Speaker 1: there's like seven more stops, like the initial eyesight might 1280 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,840 Speaker 1: have got you going down the wrong track, but yeah, 1281 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,640 Speaker 1: I know, I'm with you. You might you might have 1282 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,640 Speaker 1: been like, oh, oh, here's something, but then there's like 1283 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: six things that need to happen and you somehow skip 1284 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 1: them all. Yeah. That's when when someone shoots a person 1285 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: hunting and I was like, holmet, so you thought you 1286 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,000 Speaker 1: were aiming behind its front shoulder or where like you'd 1287 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: picked your spot. I would argue though, that almost every 1288 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:45,800 Speaker 1: single accident involved someone shooting without pulling up their binals 1289 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,640 Speaker 1: to check what they're shooting at. Are you with me 1290 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: on that? Yeah? No, you know what if the time 1291 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 1: and the finals, I think it would eliminate every almost 1292 01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,639 Speaker 1: every um. What would it be false? That'd be interesting 1293 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,439 Speaker 1: thing to look at is if if you could have 1294 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 1: a if you could have sat down and done like 1295 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,400 Speaker 1: exhaustive interviews with everyone who's done a mistake and identity shooting, 1296 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 1: would you ever find someone who would say like, oh no, no, 1297 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: I even put my spot in scope on it? No way? Yeah? Right, 1298 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,599 Speaker 1: I mean, and I think a lot of these cases 1299 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 1: come out of areas where there's not a lot of 1300 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: bino use period, Right, they don't have kind of a 1301 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,320 Speaker 1: site shot. You know, you hear something and you're so 1302 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: lamped to get something. The turkey accidents, right, it's like that, 1303 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 1: like the highly um advertised incident in Colorado of this year, 1304 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, open site muzzleloaders, so they're just you know, 1305 01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: optics are probably never being brought into the situation. Did 1306 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 1: you hear the episode we did with the turkey guy 1307 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,720 Speaker 1: that got shot turkey hunting twice in the same place. What, yeah, 1308 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,439 Speaker 1: and had to he got you, Preston Pittman. It's been 1309 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 1: shot twice turkey hunting. He's a great in the same 1310 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 1: place or like in the same spot hunting spot and 1311 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 1: and had two very different attitudes him the shooters. One 1312 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 1: shooter was uh so distraught and apologetic that he quit 1313 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 1: hunting and Preston Pittman had to gradually get him back 1314 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:16,080 Speaker 1: into hunting. And the other guy was mad at Preston. Well, 1315 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Preston sounds exactly like a turkey, so he probably called 1316 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 1: him right, and he was blaming the guy that shot 1317 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 1: up was blaming him. Well you shouldn't, you know, you're 1318 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 1: kind so so it's my fault that you just shot 1319 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: me with the shotgun. That is one thing that I 1320 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,640 Speaker 1: always tell people, like, if you're calling no matter what 1321 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 1: animal it is, and you start hearing other hunters come 1322 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: your way, A lot of guys think it's fun to 1323 01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 1: call in other hunters and you're like, oh, I called 1324 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 1: I called Jay Scott in you know where, right called 1325 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,639 Speaker 1: Phelps in? Like they would would be like, oh, look 1326 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,559 Speaker 1: what I did. I always say, listen, if you start 1327 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,880 Speaker 1: hearing other hunters call back to you, like I would 1328 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 1: not be the first one to just jump up say 1329 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:02,519 Speaker 1: hey hunter, like it's not worth calling him in nice 1330 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 1: and clothes, don't mess with it. Yeah, you don't wait 1331 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 1: till he's trying to plug your Yeah. One number nine 1332 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: shot t s sanges things a lot Abernathy, I can't 1333 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,560 Speaker 1: remember what shot size. He was saying he shouldn't be 1334 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,640 Speaker 1: able to use. This So funny because Robert Abernathy's like, 1335 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 1: maybe someone had fives. I don't tell he had. And 1336 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 1: he's like, man, I don't think you should be able 1337 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:34,599 Speaker 1: to use those. That hurts what he's talking about because 1338 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,600 Speaker 1: he'd been shot, He's been shot by someone using that. 1339 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 1: He doesn't think it's a good turkey load. He put 1340 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:42,720 Speaker 1: I think I told us, did I tell the story 1341 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,880 Speaker 1: about him. He put his He was sitting there listening 1342 01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 1: to a bird calling, listening to a guy. They're just 1343 01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 1: trying to think about where it was and how he's 1344 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: gonna get over there. And he puts his foot up 1345 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:57,840 Speaker 1: on the stump. Byam, the guy shoots him in the leg. 1346 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 1: In conversation with the shooter, the shooter explained, when you 1347 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 1: put your foot on that stump, it looked just like 1348 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:13,799 Speaker 1: a time going into full strut on real I exam, 1349 01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:21,879 Speaker 1: I exam, and you can get all sorts of Abernathy 1350 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 1: fix on Season ten, a one in a million.

Here's what we're gonna start talking about 1363 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 1: COO's Deer. Um. Your hip to the fact that that 1364 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: that the esteemed biologist James Halflefinger has once and for 1365 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,360 Speaker 1: all put to rest. Not what the deer is called, 1366 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 1: but like how that man pronounced his name. I've heard rumor. Yeah, um, 1367 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,960 Speaker 1: did you know that our our mutual acquaintance, Chris Denim 1368 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 1: I think, has now said he's going to switch to cows. Yeah, 1369 01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,559 Speaker 1: I would. I would tell you that I don't know 1370 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: anyone that uses cows deer other than Jim Heffelfinger. Well, now, 1371 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 1: Chris Denham supposedly I know Chris. Do you see his 1372 01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: little stickers? I was gonna give you what I did. 1373 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 1: You actually sent me one one of your team, Kylie 1374 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 1: uh butcher the deer and not the name cows. But 1375 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep calling him cous deer for sure, me too. 1376 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,280 Speaker 1: Do you think that there's um Do you feel that 1377 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:30,600 Speaker 1: you're the most you gotta be? You have to be 1378 01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 1: the most experienced Cou's deer hunter on the hunter on 1379 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:34,760 Speaker 1: the planet. I don't think, so who would be more? 1380 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 1: I don't know who would be more. I mean there's 1381 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 1: lots of guys that have more days in the field 1382 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:46,679 Speaker 1: than I do. Probably, yeah, I mean I have a lot, 1383 01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 1: but I don't bet there's no one that's seen more 1384 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,599 Speaker 1: than you. I mean I've definitely seen a lot for sure. 1385 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,720 Speaker 1: Think years, don't don't be don't be modest, but think 1386 01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,000 Speaker 1: about it seriously for a second. Who can you think 1387 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 1: of that might have seen more than you through a 1388 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 1: pair of an actors. Well, I think one of the 1389 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,879 Speaker 1: benefits that I do have as I go to Mexico 1390 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,760 Speaker 1: and have for twenty six years, and so your opportunity 1391 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 1: of getting to see a lot of bucks is big. 1392 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 1: I had one of my guides acts actually asked me, 1393 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,679 Speaker 1: it's like, how many bucks do you think you've seen 1394 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 1: in your life? And I was like, I never even 1395 01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 1: thought of it. And he's like, well, you've been going 1396 01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 1: to Mexico for twenty six years, how many do you 1397 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 1: see in a year? And I was like, probably a 1398 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 1: hundred at least. He's like, that's twenty bucks. I've never 1399 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,720 Speaker 1: thought of it, but I you know, it's hard to 1400 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 1: believe I'll be forty nine this month. You know that 1401 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: aspect alone, it's hard to believe I've been doing it 1402 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 1: for twenty six years. You know, it feels like you know, 1403 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,640 Speaker 1: I misfired up today about custar as I was the 1404 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,799 Speaker 1: first day I went out. Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing 1405 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: in me that has waned um with cous dear. I'm 1406 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 1: as excited to go. I'm as fired up to go 1407 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,639 Speaker 1: when I see big deer. I get as excited as 1408 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 1: I first did. Um, did you know, Felts, what age 1409 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: was it that you were going to allow yourself to 1410 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: shoot a white tail? I was gonna start white til 1411 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,679 Speaker 1: hunting at the age of seventy. So as much hunted 1412 01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 1: as this guy has done, which is like like a lot. 1413 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 1: He had never ever shot well until this year, had 1414 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 1: never shot a duck, had never shot a white tail 1415 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 1: because he's so committed to Camille. Here is that any 1416 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: type of white tail? No, I was reserving that for 1417 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:34,400 Speaker 1: the North American white tail, So I I the coup's dere. 1418 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,400 Speaker 1: But now he broke like, how old you So you've 1419 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: missed it by thirty two years. But I feel like 1420 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: even though these just carry the name of white tail, 1421 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 1: the hunting can't be considered white tail hunting. So you 1422 01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 1: don't regret having gotten one. Oh, not at all. Like 1423 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 1: I was telling j before the podcast, like I'm trying 1424 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: to figure out how to go again next year. Yeah. 1425 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: He was asking a lot of questions about your outfit, 1426 01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 1: je because someone said something. Yeah, he said something like 1427 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:03,719 Speaker 1: jay'son as if you really want to go see some couzier, 1428 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 1: you gotta go, like, you know, eight miles south of 1429 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: the border. And we're like, now we're fine with our plays, 1430 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 1: Like we're gonna stick to our place. So the day 1431 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:17,519 Speaker 1: we die and Jason perk right up, he's like, sowhere now. Yeah, 1432 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 1: So you don't regret going and doing it. No, not 1433 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 1: one break. It was extremely fun hunt, Like one of 1434 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:25,800 Speaker 1: the best deer hunts I've ever been on. What is it? 1435 01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,840 Speaker 1: Why is it so fun? Man? It's hard to I 1436 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 1: was trying to put it all together. I don't know 1437 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 1: if it's like I was telling Jay a game before, 1438 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 1: like the combination of you're seeing just enough deer. I mean, 1439 01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,040 Speaker 1: it's still hard. These things are hard to spot even 1440 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 1: when you know they're in your your optics, Um, you're 1441 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: seeing enough bucks, you know, It's almost seems like it's 1442 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 1: a one to one buck the door ratio, so you're 1443 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 1: not just like glassing up eighty does a day to 1444 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: see two bucks. So it's like a good balance. They're 1445 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,880 Speaker 1: just sneaky and you know, do cuse deer stuff enough 1446 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 1: to get away from you time and time again, so 1447 01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:56,840 Speaker 1: when you do spot them, it's not a guarantee. And 1448 01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 1: it's just that combination of you're probably gonna find success. 1449 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 1: It's just how it's all gonna come together, which is 1450 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 1: kind of like the perfect mix. And then you know 1451 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,040 Speaker 1: it's Jay mentioned earlier, just an off grid feel of it. 1452 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, you've got the cowboys running around and you 1453 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: know doing you know, they basically work to live, and 1454 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: it was just it was just something cool about it, 1455 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 1: just you know, kind of untouched country.

You know, there's enough 1461 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,280 Speaker 1: going on. I thought about a bunch of times before, 1462 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,680 Speaker 1: but like for me, I have the most fun when 1463 01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 1: there's when something's detailed enough and hard enough, there's you 1464 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: don't have other things to think about, and once you 1465 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: get up and get going on the day, there's enough 1466 01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:58,920 Speaker 1: just like excitement and things happening and um like visual 1467 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 1: st him you lie and this feeling of being like 1468 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,439 Speaker 1: in another land that until your until you go to bed, 1469 01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: till you climb in your sleeping bag at night. It's like, 1470 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't think about anything what I'm doing. I just 1471 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 1: think about what I'm doing. I mean, we might have 1472 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 1: like a few laughs, you know, throughout the day, which 1473 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 1: is just part of it, but for the most part 1474 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 1: you're just it's like this kind of time just to 1475 01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,599 Speaker 1: really take whatever seven eight days and just focus on something. 1476 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,200 Speaker 1: I think one of the things too, it's like you said, 1477 01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 1: such a visual aspect with the glassing um and you know, 1478 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 1: we glass everything we hunt up here, and you know 1479 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,639 Speaker 1: the lower forty eight. But when you get to Mexico 1480 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 1: and when you're specifically hunting coust here, it's so glass 1481 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:42,200 Speaker 1: ng intensive um and and you can have a big 1482 01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: buck and he's running the dough and you can have 1483 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 1: him right in the center of your buyos and you 1484 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 1: can literally start look away for a second, open your 1485 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 1: pack to get your spotting scope out, and go back 1486 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 1: in your buyos and you're like, they're gone for the 1487 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,559 Speaker 1: rest of the Where did they go? Where are they? What? 1488 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:03,800 Speaker 1: I just looked away for a second. Then sometimes they're 1489 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: right there. They never moved, so you just looked for 1490 01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,479 Speaker 1: you looked away, You look back in and you say 1491 01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 1: they're gone. Then you keep looking, keep looking, and they're 1492 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,599 Speaker 1: in the exact same spot. Okay. Then there's times when 1493 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: you do the same thing and you look and they 1494 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 1: are gone, and I think, to me, that's what makes 1495 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,880 Speaker 1: acoustier so exciting is the fact that you know when 1496 01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 1: a bull ilkus down in there at yards and he's 1497 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 1: in your buyos and you look away from your spinning 1498 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 1: scipe most of the time, as soon as you pop 1499 01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: back in, he's right there. Acoustier could literally be standing 1500 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: with his face, you know, turned this way and rack 1501 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,760 Speaker 1: shining in the sun, and you're clearly focused. You look 1502 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 1: away for a second, back in and it's like you 1503 01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 1: really have to look, and he's not changed his pose 1504 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 1: at all. I had something very similar. We're I was 1505 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 1: walking to meet up with Yanni. Know, I was kind 1506 01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: of done glass and the point um, and I look 1507 01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 1: and naked eye one it's it's two yards away. I 1508 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: see what my naked eye and it's and I mark 1509 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,240 Speaker 1: it because it's right. I just in my head, I 1510 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,680 Speaker 1: just realized it's at the sunline. The sun's coming up 1511 01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 1: and it's at that line of like shade meat sun 1512 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,040 Speaker 1: on the hillside. I see with my naked eye. I 1513 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 1: put my braoculars up and I registered I to be like, oh, 1514 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 1: it's a buck. And I go to sit down so 1515 01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 1: I get a more stable look. And then I'm like, 1516 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,720 Speaker 1: that's some bitch snuck away. And I knew where he was. 1517 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,679 Speaker 1: He's on the shade line. And I looked and looked, 1518 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:30,040 Speaker 1: and I'm starting to try to look to see where 1519 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:31,719 Speaker 1: he might have gone. And I go back and I realized, 1520 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 1: like you're saying he had moved, he's in the exact 1521 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,720 Speaker 1: same position, in the exact same shade line. And just 1522 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,720 Speaker 1: like and to me, that's the entry that that's what 1523 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: really gets it for me. And then Big Deer to um, 1524 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 1: you know when you when you are fortunate to get 1525 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 1: big deer in your hands, to me, they're so unique. 1526 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 1: Every rack is different, and that's what I like about him. 1527 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 1: You know, there's really no cookie cutter. When you get 1528 01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: big ones, there's really no cookie cutter racks. They're all different, 1529 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:03,400 Speaker 1: they all are shaped different, you know, summer wide, summer tall, 1530 01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,200 Speaker 1: heavy than whatever. It may be extra guards, but when 1531 01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 1: you start getting big mature, CU's deer. To me, that's 1532 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: just like the icing on the cake. It's a cool crater. Man, 1533 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,799 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Uh what would you take on a Garrett? 1534 01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, man, yeah, um, I feel like but I 1535 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't even say that it was white tail hunting, Like 1536 01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: it's just it felt like a cross between white tail 1537 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: and mule deer. And then like this element of black 1538 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,879 Speaker 1: bear hunting where you're like sitting and watching these fingers 1539 01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 1: and waiting for the sun to come around. And I 1540 01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,760 Speaker 1: think what I liked about it was you knew there 1541 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,280 Speaker 1: was Like you come to a face and you know 1542 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 1: there's deer on this face.

But these 1600 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,040 Speaker 1: quickly proved that you could sit there and just you 1601 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,160 Speaker 1: were always expecting to find something. You know it might 1602 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:26,040 Speaker 1: take all day, but you just it kept your hopes up. 1603 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,920 Speaker 1: I think all day just sitting there, like you'd glass 1604 01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,160 Speaker 1: the same tree, the same bush, the same shadow, all 1605 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 1: day long, not seeing anything, and then all of a 1606 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,320 Speaker 1: sudden there's one standing in the middle that you have 1607 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,679 Speaker 1: no idea how he got there. Garrett made a comment, 1608 01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,960 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't want it to be I don't 1609 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,479 Speaker 1: need it to help me, but I would like when 1610 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:45,519 Speaker 1: I finished glass in a spot and I won't take 1611 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,559 Speaker 1: any action. I would like a way to know how 1612 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 1: many were there. Did I cover it? He's like, I'm not. 1613 01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go back. I'm not gonna exploit the information, 1614 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 1: but I would like when I'm all done, I would 1615 01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 1: like someone to tell me, h, Garrett, you eight bucks 1616 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:06,040 Speaker 1: laying on that hillside, which might be just maddening to missing. 1617 01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,880 Speaker 1: I think one of the things too with coustre that 1618 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 1: that gets me so fired up is kind of the 1619 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:16,920 Speaker 1: strategy and tactical standpoint of like, if you can consistently 1620 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 1: be looking in the places where those deer are the most, 1621 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:25,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna see more. It sounds real elementary, but I 1622 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: have to be constantly, you know, on my podcast and Instagram, 1623 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 1: I askering answering a lot of questions, and that is, 1624 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 1: you want to use the sun in the morning at 1625 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:38,040 Speaker 1: your back, so you're using that sun to brighten and 1626 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 1: illuminate because they pop, but then you want to reverse that. Okay, 1627 01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 1: as the sun is is, you know, getting till midday 1628 01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 1: and afternoon, you want to be focused with the sun 1629 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,120 Speaker 1: in your face, looking in the shade and if you 1630 01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:56,800 Speaker 1: can focus your afternoon glass and a lot of people 1631 01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,800 Speaker 1: like to use the same thing and let the sun 1632 01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 1: shine in the after noon. Well, they are looking where 1633 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 1: ten of the deer are the other nine percent, or 1634 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 1: on the other side of the aspect of the hill. 1635 01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 1: They're on the shady side of the hill. Absolutely in 1636 01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,599 Speaker 1: the evening. So you want to be in the east, 1637 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 1: because I, if I had, if I I usually try 1638 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 1: to make a move to get where I'm looking at 1639 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,479 Speaker 1: the illuminated stuff in the evening. No, so if you 1640 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 1: do the opposite, I bet you'll see more dear than 1641 01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 1: what you saw the night before. You're later you're waiting 1642 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,920 Speaker 1: from to come out of the shade. So in the afternoon, 1643 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 1: I am I when I get to a property or 1644 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: I get to a new place where I'm hunting cus dear, 1645 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,559 Speaker 1: I say, where is the most predominant afternoon shade three 1646 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:44,439 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days a year, which hillsides give 1647 01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:47,680 Speaker 1: those dear the most shade? Why do they want the 1648 01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:50,360 Speaker 1: most shade? Because it's most You know, you're there in 1649 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 1: January when it's cool, but most of the time in 1650 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 1: Mexico it's very hot. So those animals learn to find 1651 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,760 Speaker 1: on all those ranches the hillsides that give them the 1652 01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:06,000 Speaker 1: coolest spot to lay. So if you focus your attention 1653 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,920 Speaker 1: in the morning with the sun helping you, which ironically 1654 01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:12,719 Speaker 1: it's the same side of the hill, so you don't 1655 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 1: really have to shift much. So that's going to tell 1656 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,120 Speaker 1: you that those deer are gonna be on those east 1657 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,200 Speaker 1: facing slopes. Those north facing slopes a lot, they come 1658 01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,080 Speaker 1: over to the south chase a little bit, but they 1659 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,479 Speaker 1: very rarely will bet on those south facing slopes. They're 1660 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:31,200 Speaker 1: in the thick brush. And so in the afternoon when 1661 01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:35,280 Speaker 1: when I started, you know, helping people try and focus, 1662 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:38,439 Speaker 1: it would be no different than you, Jason helping them 1663 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:41,679 Speaker 1: with an elk tactic. Focus on the shade. In the afternoon, 1664 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna see way more bucks and you're gonna find 1665 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:48,719 Speaker 1: more mature bucks. H percent. It's like something I'm Adam 1666 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:52,479 Speaker 1: and about glass into the shade in the afternoon, and 1667 01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:57,400 Speaker 1: I think I think mule deer hunters could take it too, because, um, 1668 01:34:57,520 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 1: you know a lot of the arid places where mule 1669 01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: deer are they seek shade. You know, elk do too, 1670 01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,200 Speaker 1: So in the in the morning you want to look 1671 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,719 Speaker 1: with the sun and flip around and just seek shades. 1672 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 1: So down there, like what exposure is it? So you're 1673 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:17,719 Speaker 1: looking at east facing slopes. Okay, because the sun generally, 1674 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 1: you're generally always gonna want to east facer. I'm east 1675 01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 1: and north north north, excuse me. East, north and northeast 1676 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 1: facing slopes, you will find more cou's deer bucks. The does, 1677 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 1: I would say, frequent the south facing slopes more than 1678 01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,519 Speaker 1: the bucks do. So when you do have running, you 1679 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,000 Speaker 1: do have those does on the south facing slopes. Box 1680 01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 1: will come over, but a lot of times they'll push 1681 01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:46,599 Speaker 1: those doughs over and find a shade pocket. So if 1682 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,599 Speaker 1: you if you're looking in the afternoon using the sun 1683 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 1: to your advantage, you are looking where only ten percent 1684 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 1: of the deer are. Can you explain for everybody how like, 1685 01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:01,840 Speaker 1: how does dear management work in Mexico? And how is 1686 01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: dear management just different than the way it works in there. 1687 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 1: So I don't know the exact percentage, but I would 1688 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 1: say of property in Mexico is private land. Uh. Those 1689 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 1: private land, most of those ranches are active and working 1690 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 1: cattle ranches. Uh. In order to register your ranch, you 1691 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 1: have to get a survey done from a quote unquote 1692 01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: wildlife biologists, which would be a Mexican wildlife biologist who 1693 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,920 Speaker 1: works for the state who works for the state or 1694 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:39,439 Speaker 1: not sure if it's better state. They come out and 1695 01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,760 Speaker 1: they do their surveys at night with a spotlight. They 1696 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 1: drive down the road and they count ice. Then they 1697 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 1: look at the number of hectarias, which is for acres 1698 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:53,280 Speaker 1: um that the property is, and they kind of have 1699 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 1: a well we saw, you know, forty two eyeballs and 1700 01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,040 Speaker 1: this amount of time, and it's this mini hectoria is 1701 01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,720 Speaker 1: so we'll give you eight tacks. And they're they're very conservative. 1702 01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,320 Speaker 1: I would you find you would you agree with that? 1703 01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:11,560 Speaker 1: So a general rule of thumb from an outfitters perspective, 1704 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,599 Speaker 1: if the ranch has twelve tags, I would say it's 1705 01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,839 Speaker 1: good to harvest six if it If it gets eighteen, 1706 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,400 Speaker 1: it would be nine. If it gets six, it would 1707 01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:22,600 Speaker 1: be three. I always like to really I thought like, 1708 01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,920 Speaker 1: when you look at the massive size of those places, 1709 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,320 Speaker 1: then you see the number of tags the issue, I'm like, man, 1710 01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:31,720 Speaker 1: they're being pretty conservatives. Well in my opinion though, so 1711 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:35,360 Speaker 1: hundred inch bucks and bigger as you know you've hunted 1712 01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:38,639 Speaker 1: down there, what seven eight years or so, um, they're 1713 01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,360 Speaker 1: hard to find because they're the older they're the four 1714 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 1: or five, six seven year old deer will they You know, 1715 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 1: coyotes are after him, lions are after him, poachers are 1716 01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:53,559 Speaker 1: after him. I look at Mexico. In my opinion, when 1717 01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:55,880 Speaker 1: the ranchers get their tags, I always like to cut 1718 01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,720 Speaker 1: them in half. If they get twelve tags and they 1719 01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,519 Speaker 1: killed twelve year him, my opinion to three or four years, 1720 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: there won't be any four year old bucks left. I mean, 1721 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 1: if you got like high test hunters in there who 1722 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 1: are looking for big books, right, and but then you 1723 01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 1: have properties that are high density and low density, and 1724 01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:18,880 Speaker 1: I would say that the survey method isn't exactly the 1725 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:22,200 Speaker 1: most scientific. Counting eyeballs with a spotlight for a couple 1726 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,640 Speaker 1: hours or a couple of nights in a row, I 1727 01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:27,080 Speaker 1: don't think you could get a real I think you 1728 01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,479 Speaker 1: could ask a group of like you guys hunted there 1729 01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 1: for seven days, how many deer on the property. I 1730 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,479 Speaker 1: think you could come closer than someone driving around with 1731 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:39,600 Speaker 1: the spotlight. Um. But so they register the ranch, and 1732 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: then the rancher, the owner of the property, is issued 1733 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 1: those tags. It would be like in some of these 1734 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 1: states where there are quote unquote landowner tags. Then they're 1735 01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,240 Speaker 1: free to do what they want with those tags. But 1736 01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:57,479 Speaker 1: when they're cowboys shoot a deer. If they do, there's 1737 01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,880 Speaker 1: no way people putting tags they And so that's the 1738 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,559 Speaker 1: element from an outfitters perspective that I always have to 1739 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:10,519 Speaker 1: manage is our cowboys shooting deer. Because there's some ranches 1740 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:15,759 Speaker 1: that ranchers um maybe haven't had their property out or 1741 01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:20,360 Speaker 1: registered and gotten their UMA registration, so they don't place 1742 01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,360 Speaker 1: a value on those deer. So from an outfitters perspective, 1743 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,280 Speaker 1: I try and shy away from those properties. If I 1744 01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,479 Speaker 1: show up and there's deer legs all over and there's 1745 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 1: hanging racks all over, that's a really good indication that, hey, 1746 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:37,680 Speaker 1: these cowboys are shooting shooting deer completely outside of the 1747 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 1: system of like outside of the tag. So you've got 1748 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,439 Speaker 1: the tag system, and then you've just got hey, we're 1749 01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 1: gonna shoot a deer. The deer that you know they 1750 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,600 Speaker 1: just shoot to eat. Those obviously don't get tagged. But 1751 01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:52,400 Speaker 1: you have to watch um and I try and look 1752 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:56,760 Speaker 1: for owners that place value on their wildlife. By not 1753 01:39:56,920 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 1: letting the cowboys shoot their deer. That makes UM and 1754 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 1: then once they see a value in those deer, they 1755 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,800 Speaker 1: really start to understand management more and more. One of 1756 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:14,679 Speaker 1: the struggles that I have is trying to explain to owners, yes, 1757 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 1: you get twelve tags, but if we shot twelve year 1758 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,559 Speaker 1: this year, none of these American guys would want to 1759 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:25,040 Speaker 1: come back next year because we've basically shot every mature 1760 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:29,120 Speaker 1: dear on the property. And certainly if you did that 1761 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,760 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, then you would just have 1762 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,240 Speaker 1: two and three year old year running around. Have you 1763 01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,240 Speaker 1: ever heard any ballpark as to um how many deer 1764 01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 1: per square mile are down to? That kind of haven't. 1765 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:45,120 Speaker 1: But the thing about Mexico that has always intrigued me, 1766 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,920 Speaker 1: say more than Arizona, other than some of the things 1767 01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 1: we've already talked about, is the fact that you tend 1768 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,679 Speaker 1: to see more as many bucks as you do does. 1769 01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,439 Speaker 1: So we marveled about that, and that's the part that's 1770 01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:01,960 Speaker 1: so lost him is getting to see bucks. I mean, 1771 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 1: that's what fires me when you see like when you're 1772 01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:05,840 Speaker 1: glassing along and all of a sudden you realize you 1773 01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:10,440 Speaker 1: saw a tail flick. I mean, like you know pretty good, 1774 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:14,120 Speaker 1: like you're already you're like, I've probably right, and and 1775 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,640 Speaker 1: if you hunt in Arizona, you know you could go 1776 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:20,720 Speaker 1: and see fifty or sixty does and see three bucks. Well, 1777 01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,560 Speaker 1: if you see fifty or sixty deer in Mexico, probably 1778 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:27,200 Speaker 1: twenty of them thirty of them are bocks. That's the difference. 1779 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,280 Speaker 1: So it's it's almost like a target rich environment, you know, 1780 01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 1: if from an aspect of I can't wait to see 1781 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,720 Speaker 1: what the next buck I see is. That's what I 1782 01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:40,000 Speaker 1: just love about Mexico. I think that's what makes getting 1783 01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:41,960 Speaker 1: out of the sleeping bags so exciting down here. Man. 1784 01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,760 Speaker 1: You always just like, dude, today could be the day. Yeah. 1785 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:48,640 Speaker 1: And and going to when they're running, um is a 1786 01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:51,640 Speaker 1: really cool thing because I feel like, you know, I 1787 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,800 Speaker 1: spend all September at the six Ranch watching elk Rut 1788 01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:58,520 Speaker 1: and I've done that for a long long time. Um, 1789 01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:01,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like getting to watch accous deer truly 1790 01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:05,480 Speaker 1: running in their environment is a really neat thing. Uh. 1791 01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 1: When we're down there, guys, we're always like, Man, if 1792 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:09,360 Speaker 1: Jay was here, I'd ask him, what do you guys? 1793 01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to dominate the whole conversation here. I 1794 01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,800 Speaker 1: think the glass and thing was one of them. I 1795 01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,600 Speaker 1: feel like we were circling the mountain a lot, and 1796 01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,200 Speaker 1: probably at the wrong time of the day. I had 1797 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 1: listened in. It's Jay's fault. Until this moment, he has 1798 01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:26,599 Speaker 1: never in all the interactions I've had with the man, 1799 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:30,880 Speaker 1: he has never explicitly told me that. So you just 1800 01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:36,479 Speaker 1: remember this. You want a lot of I've cost you 1801 01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,600 Speaker 1: a lot of big books. When you go to a property, 1802 01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:42,840 Speaker 1: whether it's in Mexico or anywhere else, what you want 1803 01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:47,160 Speaker 1: to find is where is the most predominant afternoon shade 1804 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 1: on this mountain. That's where you start m HM day 1805 01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,040 Speaker 1: in and day out. Where if I wanted to get 1806 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:56,360 Speaker 1: out of the sun, where would I go sit? That's 1807 01:42:56,479 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 1: another way to think of it. In other words, it's hot, 1808 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,200 Speaker 1: where am I going? Well, if I get on that 1809 01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:04,559 Speaker 1: ridge and sit on that face, that's going to be 1810 01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,760 Speaker 1: the shadiest spot on this ranch. That's where you want 1811 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,120 Speaker 1: to go. And then you branch out from there and 1812 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:15,000 Speaker 1: you always hit those shade pockets. Now I'm reviewing in 1813 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:17,439 Speaker 1: the in the times we've hunted, the place we hunt, 1814 01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm reviewing all of our like known buck pockets. I 1815 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:23,920 Speaker 1: need to go. I need to get on the map 1816 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 1: and go look and see if they can form well. 1817 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,960 Speaker 1: And and the other thing is I get people. There's 1818 01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,519 Speaker 1: always exception to the rule. And there's always those thick 1819 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,000 Speaker 1: patch of mesquite or oak that does provide shade that 1820 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,960 Speaker 1: is on a south facing slope, but they know they 1821 01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,040 Speaker 1: can scurry their way up there, and they can lay 1822 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,160 Speaker 1: there all day and they can get a nice breeze 1823 01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,479 Speaker 1: and they get shade. So I don't want to say 1824 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:49,000 Speaker 1: that you can't find deer on west facing slopes. I'm 1825 01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,479 Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that's like, yeah, but what 1826 01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,960 Speaker 1: about Like I get what you're saying, but I would 1827 01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,080 Speaker 1: even tell you in Montana, if you focused your buck 1828 01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,760 Speaker 1: hunting on on shaded afternoon slopes, you're gonna find more 1829 01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,240 Speaker 1: meal their bucks. I got a question. I do know 1830 01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:06,080 Speaker 1: my question. So when we're looking at some of these 1831 01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:10,439 Speaker 1: bigger mountains out there, I found myself when you go 1832 01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,679 Speaker 1: elk hunting right and you're looking at this mountain, usually 1833 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 1: what I end up doing is I go to the 1834 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,960 Speaker 1: tree line and I look like just below where the 1835 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:20,599 Speaker 1: tree line is, and I kept wanting to do that 1836 01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:24,320 Speaker 1: with coups. Right, you'd like look at this rocky point 1837 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 1: and be like, God, the biggest buck on the ranch 1838 01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 1: has to be right below that rocky point at the 1839 01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,080 Speaker 1: top of the mountain. Is that true or are they 1840 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 1: just like because the pressure just all up and down 1841 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,559 Speaker 1: the mountain doesn't matter. I would tell you I like 1842 01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 1: to go to the top of the mountain and look down, 1843 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 1: whereas a lot of people like to go and look up. 1844 01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,600 Speaker 1: I feel like if you're up and looking across or 1845 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,840 Speaker 1: down and across, you can see the grass is tall, 1846 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:54,040 Speaker 1: so now you can see at the angle you're looking 1847 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 1: into the grass, rather than if the grass is here, 1848 01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 1: you're looking up and you've got a very short angle 1849 01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:03,000 Speaker 1: window there. When you're up looking down, it increases your 1850 01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:07,920 Speaker 1: spectrum of like, I guess it's increasing your angle. Um. 1851 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,599 Speaker 1: But as far as like where are big bucks in 1852 01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 1: relation to the top or the middle or the bottom 1853 01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,040 Speaker 1: of the hill, I would tell you in Arizona, where 1854 01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:19,760 Speaker 1: they're getting pressured, the furthest away from roads, you can 1855 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:23,559 Speaker 1: get the you know, the deep dark hidie holes, or 1856 01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 1: even the top of the mountain where no one's getting 1857 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,880 Speaker 1: that's where your older age class bucks are going to be. 1858 01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:33,400 Speaker 1: In Mexico, it doesn't really translate because no one's hunting them. 1859 01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,320 Speaker 1: You're you know, so they It's not like, oh yeah, 1860 01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,960 Speaker 1: six groups have already gone through here. They've killed all 1861 01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,840 Speaker 1: the easy stuff. Let's go to the top. But what 1862 01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:44,639 Speaker 1: I like to do is like hour before light hiking 1863 01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:48,680 Speaker 1: with a flashlight, headlamp, get to the top. I like 1864 01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,959 Speaker 1: cone peaks because I can get up there and very quickly. 1865 01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,480 Speaker 1: You know, those cone peaks are very rarely like as 1866 01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,600 Speaker 1: small as this table. They're more like this room or 1867 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 1: twice the size of this room. You can bounce there 1868 01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,840 Speaker 1: and cover a bunch of different country, like glassing the 1869 01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,640 Speaker 1: peak you're on. I'm on the peak looking at the 1870 01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:12,200 Speaker 1: other country. So I like to go to cone knob 1871 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:16,000 Speaker 1: peaks where I can just glass for thirty minutes here, 1872 01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:18,599 Speaker 1: bounce to the other side, glass for thirty minutes, bounce 1873 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:21,519 Speaker 1: over here to the north side, class and cover be 1874 01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:23,599 Speaker 1: on the highest thing around, the highest thing around, and 1875 01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:26,880 Speaker 1: cover basically all of the country in a six hour 1876 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,439 Speaker 1: period and look at a ton more country. That makes 1877 01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:33,519 Speaker 1: sense because you can very easily just bop around. It's 1878 01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,800 Speaker 1: much like walking a ridgeline where you can look left 1879 01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,040 Speaker 1: and look right as you're going up a ridge line 1880 01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:41,040 Speaker 1: or down a ridge line. That gives me twice as 1881 01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:46,840 Speaker 1: much country to look at. Mega glass. I was wondering, Yeah, 1882 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:48,439 Speaker 1: I was one on this trip. Yet it's a place 1883 01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:50,680 Speaker 1: that you had marked for us Mega glass that no 1884 01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,080 Speaker 1: one's ever glass from. Yeah, we always laugh about the 1885 01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,680 Speaker 1: place called Mega glass. That's where That's where i'd go 1886 01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,200 Speaker 1: really because I'm Here's what we laugh about going so 1887 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:05,800 Speaker 1: much is um stick. Yeah, We're like, whoever uh put 1888 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,679 Speaker 1: this there? They found it on the top of map. 1889 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,599 Speaker 1: Janice has asked me about Mega glass before. For whatever reason, 1890 01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:18,600 Speaker 1: that canyon where Mega glasses I just envision. Listen, we 1891 01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:20,479 Speaker 1: have to piss out of that area. But we just 1892 01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:22,519 Speaker 1: don't want it for Mega glass because you have to 1893 01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:25,760 Speaker 1: bring like some repelling equipment. I want to be on 1894 01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:31,040 Speaker 1: the highest knob that I can get to most every time. 1895 01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,280 Speaker 1: Glass that we always laugh about. That's our primary landmark, 1896 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:38,960 Speaker 1: Mega Glass. And then it brings into big glass too. 1897 01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,320 Speaker 1: I like using you know, I've had you know, I've 1898 01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:47,120 Speaker 1: had basically every pair of big binos made. You know. 1899 01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:53,320 Speaker 1: I like using big glass as well and there, but 1900 01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:55,720 Speaker 1: I also like glass in two fifteen. I also like 1901 01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 1: glass and through tens close stuff. But then I also 1902 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:00,760 Speaker 1: like really reaching out there and you know, looking into 1903 01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,280 Speaker 1: those shaded slopes. I have a question for you, j 1904 01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,960 Speaker 1: as far as how long do you invest in the 1905 01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,080 Speaker 1: area to like dig up a big buck, you know, 1906 01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,439 Speaker 1: like a blacktail. I might hunt the same area for 1907 01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,280 Speaker 1: thirty days and never see him again, or see him 1908 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:14,519 Speaker 1: at night or on a camera where it seems like 1909 01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:16,599 Speaker 1: when we did find a book, we would see him 1910 01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,519 Speaker 1: again and again in that area like heavy eight um, 1911 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,479 Speaker 1: you know the buck that Garrett ended up shooting, like 1912 01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:23,599 Speaker 1: they were bucks that we had seen in that area again, 1913 01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,280 Speaker 1: Paul's buck, we've seen him there, were able to find 1914 01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,200 Speaker 1: him again. So if I know they're there, I won't leave. 1915 01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:32,040 Speaker 1: If if if I if I know there's a big 1916 01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,519 Speaker 1: buck there, um, you know, if if someone had seen 1917 01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 1: a big buck, Um, I know that that deer likely 1918 01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:43,439 Speaker 1: is within five hundred yards of where someone saw him. Yeah, 1919 01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,000 Speaker 1: they run a realt so when they rut, they the 1920 01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:50,280 Speaker 1: bucks cover a lot of country. Um, but does pretty 1921 01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:53,639 Speaker 1: much live within an eight hundred It's proven. Richard Awkins 1922 01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:56,200 Speaker 1: fell study you should. I don't think he's alive anymore, 1923 01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:58,759 Speaker 1: but airs on the game of fish. Ricard Richard Hawkins 1924 01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:03,960 Speaker 1: felt collared up on your deer and studied buck and 1925 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,080 Speaker 1: dough and how they travel. Hefl finger probably knows all 1926 01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,719 Speaker 1: about it. Um. And they say that uh CU's deer 1927 01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:17,920 Speaker 1: dough spends her whole life within an eight circle, no 1928 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,840 Speaker 1: kid man. Yeah, so that that goes to show like 1929 01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:25,479 Speaker 1: where where those bucks are? They're gonna go find those Doughes. 1930 01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:29,400 Speaker 1: But they're so homebodied and so habitual that like, if 1931 01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,120 Speaker 1: if I knew that there was a big buck in 1932 01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:35,599 Speaker 1: the canyon, I probably would bounce around and get different 1933 01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:38,280 Speaker 1: angles in the canyon. But if I know he's there, 1934 01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. So all right, So let's flip the 1935 01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:43,439 Speaker 1: question a little bit. Say your glass and you feel 1936 01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:45,040 Speaker 1: like you're doing a really good job, You've given it. 1937 01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:47,960 Speaker 1: You're all like, are you giving a good bucky looking area? 1938 01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:49,519 Speaker 1: Like two days and then you're gonna go find a 1939 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,599 Speaker 1: new area or every spot is different and it's kind 1940 01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:54,960 Speaker 1: of a gut thing and you just have to the 1941 01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:56,960 Speaker 1: worst thing you can do when you're glassing is be 1942 01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,080 Speaker 1: second guessing. And I do it all the time. You're 1943 01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:02,639 Speaker 1: second guessing him. I'm wasting my time. So you have 1944 01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:06,920 Speaker 1: to kind of bridge that gap of like I have 1945 01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,640 Speaker 1: to invest the time and I have to literally know 1946 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,479 Speaker 1: that this deer may only stand up ten minutes of daylight, 1947 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:14,519 Speaker 1: and I've got to catch him when he's standing up 1948 01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:17,439 Speaker 1: in those ten minutes. Okay, that's one train of thought. 1949 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,760 Speaker 1: You've got to watch that your mind wanders going. The 1950 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:23,280 Speaker 1: buck isn't here. You've been looking for three days. I 1951 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,840 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times that darn I have 1952 01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 1: pounded over a country looking and just covering different angles, 1953 01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:32,080 Speaker 1: looking in the same spot, and five days later the 1954 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,559 Speaker 1: buck stands up and he's there the whole time. I 1955 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 1: think one of the biggest mistakes whose deer hunters make 1956 01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,840 Speaker 1: is when they find a big buck, they take their 1957 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:44,120 Speaker 1: eye off it. That's a whole another subject, but I 1958 01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:48,640 Speaker 1: always tell people, if you find a big buck, do not, 1959 01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,280 Speaker 1: for any reason take your eye off it. I don't 1960 01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:55,799 Speaker 1: care whether you're using hand signals, whether you're using radios, 1961 01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:59,680 Speaker 1: whatever your comfort of of communication, whatever you want to do, 1962 01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:03,479 Speaker 1: but if you're trying to kill big bucks, keep your eye. 1963 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,000 Speaker 1: Someone has to watch that deer at all times too, 1964 01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:11,160 Speaker 1: to an extent of like darn I always laugh. Uh, 1965 01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:16,439 Speaker 1: I know that if Darr finds a big buck, I 1966 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,200 Speaker 1: know that he's not taking his eye off If he 1967 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,679 Speaker 1: has to go to the bathroom, it doesn't if he 1968 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,120 Speaker 1: he he will not take his eyes out of those 1969 01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:27,040 Speaker 1: binos on that big buck. And that's how we have 1970 01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:30,760 Speaker 1: been very successful in killing big bucks, is that when 1971 01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:33,479 Speaker 1: you hunt with guys that do not take their eye 1972 01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:36,920 Speaker 1: off the deer, the chances of that deer getting away 1973 01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 1: are go way down. If you dig your lunch out 1974 01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:41,880 Speaker 1: of your pack and you get up and you take 1975 01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,280 Speaker 1: a leak and you stretch, and he could have just 1976 01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,799 Speaker 1: popped over the hill. Now you're looking in a canyon. 1977 01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:49,479 Speaker 1: That all you'd have to do is just know that 1978 01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,519 Speaker 1: he popped up thirty yards. You don't even know that 1979 01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,880 Speaker 1: because you took your eye off. I mean, it's it's 1980 01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,240 Speaker 1: it's not rocket science, but it's it's funny how I 1981 01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:00,840 Speaker 1: talked to a lot of people and they're like, yeah, 1982 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:02,800 Speaker 1: I had this big buck and I had him, and 1983 01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:04,720 Speaker 1: he was running this dough and he was chasing her 1984 01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 1: all around and I needed to get closer. I said, well, 1985 01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 1: wait a minute, who was watching Who was watching it? 1986 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:12,280 Speaker 1: He goes, well, I I was alone. I said, well, 1987 01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:15,559 Speaker 1: you didn't watch it till it bedded down, till it 1988 01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,640 Speaker 1: was hot, till you knew that the deer had a 1989 01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,320 Speaker 1: chance to probably lay for at least an hour, where 1990 01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:22,720 Speaker 1: then you could move and get in position. Well, no, 1991 01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:24,840 Speaker 1: it was first thing in the morning, it was first light, 1992 01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:27,000 Speaker 1: and he was chasing the stow and he was just 1993 01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,519 Speaker 1: a sitting duck. I said, well, yeah, but he's running 1994 01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:32,840 Speaker 1: around chasing the dough and now you don't know where 1995 01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,960 Speaker 1: he is. So what I try and do is tell 1996 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:40,080 Speaker 1: people like, watch the buck, keep your eye on him, 1997 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,599 Speaker 1: bed them down, try and stay thirty minutes to make 1998 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:45,320 Speaker 1: because a lot of times they'll bed down. They do 1999 01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,120 Speaker 1: this all the time. They'll come in, run around, they'll 2000 01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:52,400 Speaker 1: lay down twenty minutes, they get up and change beds. 2001 01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,200 Speaker 1: They don't like where they're laying. So I watched for 2002 01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,680 Speaker 1: like thirty minutes. Yep, he's not moving, and then I 2003 01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:02,200 Speaker 1: make my move. And then one other tip. And I 2004 01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,920 Speaker 1: don't know why I've turned this into like you know, 2005 01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:11,880 Speaker 1: Jay's tips, but um always mark the landmark where you 2006 01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,479 Speaker 1: saw the buck, the dead oak tree with the limb 2007 01:53:14,479 --> 01:53:16,439 Speaker 1: that points out to the ride or the white rock 2008 01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:19,080 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. Even take your phone out 2009 01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:23,719 Speaker 1: and take a picture, because when you across the canyon, 2010 01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:25,640 Speaker 1: get up on another knob, you get over there and 2011 01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:29,479 Speaker 1: it always looks different. Always. I think that's a good 2012 01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,040 Speaker 1: That's the thing I've always harpened to people about is 2013 01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,320 Speaker 1: it just you got in your head that it's like 2014 01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:37,920 Speaker 1: a little peek and there's a ridge coming off and 2015 01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:39,960 Speaker 1: you get over there and it's just not it changed, 2016 01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, the perspective that the angle change and it 2017 01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:45,320 Speaker 1: looks different. How many times have you got over and 2018 01:53:45,360 --> 01:53:47,479 Speaker 1: you're like, I've been watching this steer for three hours 2019 01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,559 Speaker 1: and you're like, where is he? Oh, there's the rocket's 2020 01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,320 Speaker 1: way down here. I thought it was more of a 2021 01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:54,160 Speaker 1: perspective that it was up here. Well, when I got 2022 01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:57,880 Speaker 1: over on this point, it's now lower. Um, those are 2023 01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,920 Speaker 1: all little tricks that you know. I've just I've learned 2024 01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:02,920 Speaker 1: so many times the hard way and those deaer have 2025 01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:05,320 Speaker 1: gotten away that I kind of have a system that 2026 01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:08,080 Speaker 1: I go about hunting them. I want to get to 2027 01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:11,880 Speaker 1: the biggest, like the thing that comes up most when 2028 01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:16,280 Speaker 1: talking about hunting the border country in Mexico. Give me 2029 01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:19,400 Speaker 1: your like what is your perspective on like the security risk? 2030 01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:23,120 Speaker 1: So I mean like you can't tell me it's absolutely zero. 2031 01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's not zero. I mean, like, what's giving 2032 01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:29,000 Speaker 1: your sort of after all these years, like where you 2033 01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:32,960 Speaker 1: add on it? So I don't think there's anybody in 2034 01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,360 Speaker 1: the world that would deny that there's stuff going on 2035 01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:40,120 Speaker 1: within of the border on either side that that would 2036 01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:45,200 Speaker 1: blow our mind. Um I would argue that that there's 2037 01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:48,360 Speaker 1: probably worse things going on on the U. S side, 2038 01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 1: because now whatever is going on is really illegal, and 2039 01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:56,520 Speaker 1: they're trying to get whether it be drugs or you know, 2040 01:54:57,040 --> 01:54:59,600 Speaker 1: people trafficking or whatever, they're trying to get them to 2041 01:54:59,800 --> 01:55:06,400 Speaker 1: the destination. Whereas in Mexico, UM, I, other than being 2042 01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:09,200 Speaker 1: able to call the authorities, if you will, call the 2043 01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:13,600 Speaker 1: Border Patrol, call FBI, whoever you made, police, whateverever you 2044 01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:17,920 Speaker 1: may call. I feel like in Mexico it's actually safer 2045 01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:24,040 Speaker 1: because there's designed routes and and and things that you know, 2046 01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:29,400 Speaker 1: those those people want to push things through, and certainly 2047 01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,600 Speaker 1: that we've all heard stories of ranches where oh yeah, 2048 01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:36,000 Speaker 1: we had you know, traffickers just trafficking through. We just 2049 01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:38,840 Speaker 1: don't hunt there. We're not. I'm not gonna put me 2050 01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:42,280 Speaker 1: or anybody else in a situation where I knowingly have 2051 01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:46,120 Speaker 1: a situation where things like that are going on. So 2052 01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:52,000 Speaker 1: you'll see activity thirty miles south of the border. So, 2053 01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:56,120 Speaker 1: but what needs to happen there, Like I do understand 2054 01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of staging and there's a lot of 2055 01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:01,880 Speaker 1: different things travel out. So you know, it's not like 2056 01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm an expert. I'm just speculating. I've watched a Narcos 2057 01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:08,360 Speaker 1: Mexico like everybody else. But you know, they're bringing product 2058 01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,600 Speaker 1: in from other countries, and they're bringing it in through 2059 01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,040 Speaker 1: the ports, They're bringing it in through boats in the ocean, 2060 01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:18,360 Speaker 1: They're bringing it in uh via airplanes. And they have 2061 01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:20,320 Speaker 1: to have a place to stage, and then they have 2062 01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:22,320 Speaker 1: to have a place to be able to get stuff 2063 01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:27,680 Speaker 1: driven from there from point A to point um. So 2064 01:56:27,880 --> 01:56:29,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking more like foot traffic, but you mean 2065 01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:33,160 Speaker 1: like just like like infrastructure for narco traffic. Yeah, And 2066 01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:35,880 Speaker 1: so like the foot traffic, the people crossing things, I 2067 01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,520 Speaker 1: mean they literally drive them up within five of the 2068 01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:43,880 Speaker 1: border and they crossed um and and that's a whole 2069 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,480 Speaker 1: another story. I used to have guys that that work 2070 01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:48,840 Speaker 1: for me. I'm I'm I'm a real estate investor and 2071 01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:51,680 Speaker 1: constantly kind of improving properties and building stuff. And I've 2072 01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:54,960 Speaker 1: used a lot of guys from Mexico to build all 2073 01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,560 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. Incredibly talented. But they would tell me 2074 01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:00,920 Speaker 1: stories like, hey, it's Christmas, time. Uh, we're gonna go 2075 01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:02,920 Speaker 1: home for a while. We'll be back in about a month. 2076 01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:06,720 Speaker 1: So when they get back, I'd be like, so, how 2077 01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,560 Speaker 1: was it we had to walk like fifty miles? It 2078 01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:12,840 Speaker 1: was fine. Um. You know then stories of oh we 2079 01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:15,400 Speaker 1: had to walk and we ran into some bad guys 2080 01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:19,040 Speaker 1: and they took our shoes. Hm. You know, like if 2081 01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,000 Speaker 1: you don't use a certain traffic or I guess a 2082 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:25,400 Speaker 1: coyote and you're with someone else, or you're on your 2083 01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:29,520 Speaker 1: own just crossing the border walking back in, they're gonna 2084 01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:31,480 Speaker 1: take your shoes because you didn't use them, you didn't 2085 01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:34,720 Speaker 1: pay them. So you know, hear stories like that. But 2086 01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:38,440 Speaker 1: as far as safety, um, when I'm outfitting the Cou's 2087 01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:41,480 Speaker 1: deer and the Gould's turkey, it's always my number one thing. 2088 01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:44,480 Speaker 1: I want to hunt properties that we're that are not 2089 01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:47,720 Speaker 1: around that kind of stuff. So I try and limit 2090 01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:52,880 Speaker 1: the exposure to that stuff because it does go on. Um, 2091 01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:55,880 Speaker 1: I can tell you in twenty six years, like you 2092 01:57:55,920 --> 01:57:58,520 Speaker 1: know the stories of like, oh, our group of cars 2093 01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:00,840 Speaker 1: got stopped by a care a van with guys with 2094 01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:04,240 Speaker 1: machine guns. It's never happened. Now, I've never seen that. 2095 01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:07,360 Speaker 1: I never lost a hunter I know people. I know 2096 01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:11,600 Speaker 1: people that that's happened to UM. But a lot of 2097 01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:15,160 Speaker 1: it is, you know, taking care of of hunting on 2098 01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,720 Speaker 1: ranches that that's not going on, hunting in areas where 2099 01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:21,000 Speaker 1: that's not going on. And then we don't travel at night. 2100 01:58:21,600 --> 01:58:24,080 Speaker 1: We travel within the ranch locked gates at night. But 2101 01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:27,840 Speaker 1: we make it a point highways, whatever roads, you just 2102 01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:30,280 Speaker 1: don't travel in Mexico at night. It's a good rule 2103 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:32,800 Speaker 1: of thumb for safety. Have I done it? Sure, I've 2104 01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:36,720 Speaker 1: traveled at night, mostly by myself. Would I do it 2105 01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:39,120 Speaker 1: with people? Know? Do I make it a practice to know? 2106 01:58:39,760 --> 01:58:42,200 Speaker 1: Have I done it a few times? Yes? We use 2107 01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:45,920 Speaker 1: when we cross, we Jay has a network of people 2108 01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,720 Speaker 1: he knows, bilingual people he knows and trusts who live 2109 01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:53,520 Speaker 1: on the Mexico side. And when we cross, we use 2110 01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:58,040 Speaker 1: one of Jay's guys who drives escorts us. We have 2111 01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,400 Speaker 1: a little two or three car caravan.

We got everywhere we wanted to go. 2124 01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:38,920 Speaker 1: It changed everything. They're trying to limp around and like 2125 01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:42,200 Speaker 1: rented minivans changed everything. Yeah, I mean we had a 2126 01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:43,880 Speaker 1: great year. We had our best year ever. And we're 2127 01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:45,360 Speaker 1: kind of like, why was it our best year ever? 2128 01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:47,200 Speaker 1: And yeahn't need to We were like, why was our 2129 01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:50,000 Speaker 1: best year ever? Like the transportation thing has to be 2130 01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:53,960 Speaker 1: a huge Yeah, you guys have been renting trucks and 2131 01:59:53,960 --> 01:59:58,960 Speaker 1: and driving around and these roads across the boarding on 2132 01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:01,920 Speaker 1: these Mexican ranches is because of the monsoon rains. The 2133 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,320 Speaker 1: roads get washed out very very easily, very very quickly. Um. 2134 02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Pretty much with you know, any u TV, any quad, 2135 02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:10,200 Speaker 1: you can get around and kind of rock crawl and 2136 02:00:10,240 --> 02:00:13,920 Speaker 1: do what you'll do. When trucks you're fairly limited. Um. 2137 02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:16,000 Speaker 1: One thing I'll point out and then we can get 2138 02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:18,400 Speaker 1: back to the people that help you know, crossing the 2139 02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:22,240 Speaker 1: UM is for anybody listening. If you're doing a d 2140 02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:25,120 Speaker 1: I Y hunt, UH, that you need to know that 2141 02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:28,480 Speaker 1: you need the truck, the trailer, and the u TV 2142 02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:31,920 Speaker 1: all to be in the driver's name. In other words, Steve, 2143 02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:38,040 Speaker 1: you couldn't and Garrett's quad. You can't mix ownership. They 2144 02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,760 Speaker 1: want to see Steve ron Ella, Steve Bronella, Steve Ronella 2145 02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:44,880 Speaker 1: on truck, trailer and u TV or quad. You can't 2146 02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:47,480 Speaker 1: put Jason's quad on your trailer. It would have to 2147 02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:51,320 Speaker 1: all match your name. You get a vehicle transportation permit 2148 02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,840 Speaker 1: UM when you go a certain distance south of the 2149 02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:58,440 Speaker 1: border UM. And then there are some quote unquote travel 2150 02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:00,600 Speaker 1: free zones that you don't have to get permit, but 2151 02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,360 Speaker 1: most of my ranches you have to get a vehicle permit. 2152 02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:07,480 Speaker 1: And that's just something that everyone has to have a passport. Uh, 2153 02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:12,600 Speaker 1: everyone has to get that transportation permit. Yeah. So we 2154 02:01:12,760 --> 02:01:15,200 Speaker 1: use and we cross. We use someone to come help 2155 02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:19,040 Speaker 1: us with the paperwork, which doesn't can be or doesn't 2156 02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,040 Speaker 1: need to be the same person that we use to 2157 02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,840 Speaker 1: escort us. I think it's important to have that translator. 2158 02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:26,520 Speaker 1: You know, you have someone who knows the process, because 2159 02:01:26,600 --> 02:01:29,000 Speaker 1: right there at the border, you know, you get your gun, 2160 02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:32,160 Speaker 1: you get your transportation permits, you get your gun permits 2161 02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:35,120 Speaker 1: checked at the police. You know, you're basically doing all 2162 02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:37,839 Speaker 1: your border stuff. Then you travel about a mile away 2163 02:01:37,880 --> 02:01:41,720 Speaker 1: to the military, where then that person helps you get 2164 02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:45,040 Speaker 1: your guns crossed at the military. And a long time ago, 2165 02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:48,080 Speaker 1: I figured out that it made crossings a lot smoother 2166 02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:51,240 Speaker 1: if I had one of my people there that understands 2167 02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:55,320 Speaker 1: the process, and any little things that come up, uh, 2168 02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:58,480 Speaker 1: they can handle and talk to who they need to 2169 02:01:58,480 --> 02:02:03,280 Speaker 1: talk to to get everything okay. If you are the place, 2170 02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:06,400 Speaker 1: were only, like as the crow flys, only fifteen miles 2171 02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:09,920 Speaker 1: in the borders. But on those thirty minute drive we 2172 02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:12,200 Speaker 1: came to one a National Guard check station they had 2173 02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:16,240 Speaker 1: set up, and our and our escort we become friends 2174 02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,840 Speaker 1: with over the years. He spoke to the guys and 2175 02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:20,720 Speaker 1: then it waved us all through. Yeah, we already had 2176 02:02:20,760 --> 02:02:22,280 Speaker 1: to have an interaction, and then we get all to 2177 02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:24,400 Speaker 1: our place. And then, like you said, when we're talking 2178 02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:26,480 Speaker 1: about like your hundred years back at the time, we 2179 02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:28,600 Speaker 1: get all to our place, unload our food in a 2180 02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:31,080 Speaker 1: ranch house, and then it's like all that ship is 2181 02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:34,320 Speaker 1: just gone. Yeah, it's just gone. It's a nice feeling 2182 02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:36,160 Speaker 1: to kind of be able to wash that away. Now, 2183 02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:38,440 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. Like on the ranch you guys have, 2184 02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:40,360 Speaker 1: there's a few hills that you can go up and boom, 2185 02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:42,400 Speaker 1: you get cell service, you can check in, so it 2186 02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:46,520 Speaker 1: makes it kind of nice. Um. But and and and 2187 02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:48,600 Speaker 1: people ask me all the time, they're like, will we 2188 02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:52,120 Speaker 1: see checkpoints? I say, listen, when you're on the highway 2189 02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:55,280 Speaker 1: and you come across a military or police checkpoint, it's 2190 02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:57,480 Speaker 1: a good thing. They're like, how is that a good thing? 2191 02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:02,800 Speaker 1: And I say, well, they are actually monitoring the roadways, 2192 02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:08,080 Speaker 1: they're keeping it safe. So by actually having a checkpoint, 2193 02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:12,200 Speaker 1: they're keeping it safer than if there was no checkpoint. 2194 02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,440 Speaker 1: And it's just willy nilly out there all right. Man, 2195 02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:18,040 Speaker 1: So you like, you don't do any d I Y 2196 02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Gould stuff. All your Gould stuff is guided. Yeah. So 2197 02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:24,720 Speaker 1: this will be my thirteen season doing Gould's. Um, I 2198 02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:27,200 Speaker 1: believe I had you down there, and maybe my first 2199 02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:30,839 Speaker 1: or second season. I feel like my Gould's Turkey operation 2200 02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:35,720 Speaker 1: is really blossomed. We've got a lot of phenomenal properties. 2201 02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:38,000 Speaker 1: Now why don't because you let guys, So not let 2202 02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,360 Speaker 1: you have guided cous deer hunts where you do you 2203 02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:42,720 Speaker 1: get you got you guys, and you have like you 2204 02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:45,800 Speaker 1: do for us where you arrange Yes, so I have 2205 02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:48,840 Speaker 1: d I, y COU'SE.

You know, I've thought about it. Um, it's 2209 02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 1: a good question. I've thought about it and thought, you know, 2210 02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I've kind of run through the different scenarios and I 2211 02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:06,919 Speaker 1: just always keep coming back to guided Goulds is probably 2212 02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:11,480 Speaker 1: a better scenario. Um, you know details. I don't really 2213 02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:13,400 Speaker 1: know why. It just seems like maybe we'll do some 2214 02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:16,240 Speaker 1: in the future. But feeling yeah, because me and Yanni 2215 02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:18,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk you into letting us do it. Well, 2216 02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:21,480 Speaker 1: I could definitely arrange you guys to come and do it. 2217 02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,120 Speaker 1: And uh, how how far into the future are you 2218 02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:28,040 Speaker 1: booked up for Goulds or for so I'm booking right 2219 02:04:28,040 --> 02:04:31,840 Speaker 1: now for next January.
