Speaker 1: We're gonna start off things a little different today, Dad

10
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: with a kind of a sentimental song about the woods.

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Usually we'd come in pretty hot and sing so Johnny

12
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: Cash or you know something. But this is a little

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: a little more laid back.

14
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Have you ever wondered lonely through the woods? Everything there

15
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: phil just as it should, part of life there, You're

16
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: part of something good. Have you ever wondered lonely through

17
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: those woods? If you've never wondered lonely through the woods.

18
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: You never started into a starry sky lying on your

00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: back and asking why, what's the purpose?

20
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,120

22
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: Oo ah.

32
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: see you.

33
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: That's ah. This needs to be identified as a wooden

34
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: egg full of lead shot. I think wooden egg full

35
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: of lead shot.

38
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: to see it, Ben, thanks for coming. Man on the Render,

39
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: we used to sing. I bet we used to sing.

40
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: There was a time when my idea for the Render

41
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: was to have a live band here every single no no,

42
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean not just me. I was gonna try to

43
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: have a live band here every single Render to play

44
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: and I did you know, it just didn't happen. But

45
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we sang. If you if

46
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: you're new to The Beargrease Render, this is the Burgers

47
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: podcast is documentary style podcast. The Beargrease Render is where

48
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: we gather around every other week and talk about the

49
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: actual bear Grease podcast. Early on the first year, we

50
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: played music probably every two or three times, not because

51
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: we think we're good, but because we like to have fun.

52
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: We like, as we said, you know, our kids. So

53
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: last night, my daughter, Missy, and I were practicing and

54
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: my daughter, who was in her room it's supposed to

55
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: be asleep, texted me and.

56
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: Said, uh, hey, y'all sound great.

57
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, y'all sounds great and I and there

58
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: was a delay in the next text, and I was like, man,

59
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: that's really nice. I was actually encouraged. I was I

60
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: need a little encouragement from time to time with my music.

61
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: And then the next text was how long are y'all

62
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: going to be playing? And the next text said PTSD.

63
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's talking about you know. We started playing during

64
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: COVID and that song was one of the first songs

65
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: I ever learned to play on the banjo, and that

66
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: when Clay heard that song, he was like, I think

67
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: I can play the guitar, like it was so unimpressive.

68
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: He's like, I could do that too.

69
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: I forgot I could play guitar.

70
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: Y'all missed. The funniest thing I've said in years is

71
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: when I found this egg, I thought, man, can sit

72
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: on this. That's kind of like what he does.

73
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 5: Ain't it good?

74
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: Hats this out while y'all are playing.

75
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: I used to play spoons, like you know, it's two

76
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 5: separate spoons. That's like luxurious stuff right there.

77
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kept waiting for you to do the old

78
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Why how.

79
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: Are you a good spoon player? Ben trained spoon spoon players.

80
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: It's in my percussion repertoire.

81
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, hey, Ben used to play for the Arkansas

82
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Razorbacks marching band.

83
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. That's why the percussion was coming

84
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: so easy to you.

85
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like we should just go around and

86
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: say the most astonishing facts about ourselves and our achievements

87
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: that no one knows about. You know, it seems really

88
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: important in high school, some of the things you did

89
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: and hasn't mad.

90
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: Would you like to say?

91
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, doctor, weirdly know, I was thinking more

92
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: about Yeah, I'm trying to think of obscure facts likes.

93
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: To Brent's whole podcast is obscure facts about his life.

94
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: So Brent Raves is here, render boy, Brent Raeves And

95
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: what I laughed out loud for real, this is no

96
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: joke and there's there's big potential for bias in me

97
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: because you're my friend. I want you to succeed. You know,

98
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: This Country Life is on the bear Grease feet, so

99
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: there's like big, big question marks around whether my opinion

100
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: is legit. However, I'm gonna say it is because they're

101
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: just as big a biases about being critical about just

102
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: the work that we're doing. So like I'm like very

103
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: critical of you too, sure, And so I would feel

104
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: every morning.

105
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: Oh it's all the the phone ringing late Clayon. I like, well,

106
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: he's not asking me to go film him, so I

107
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: am in trouble.

108
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

109
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I feel like those two things balance out,

110
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: like my love of you and want you to succeed,

111
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: but also me scrutinizing your every word and uh, I

112
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: laugh out loud by myself almost every single time I

113
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: listened to This Country Life, I really do. I mean,

114
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: Brent is an astounding writer because he and I've had

115
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: You know, you could listen to some of Brent's stories

116
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: and be like, how could have all this have happened

117
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: to one person, which is a legitimate question. But I've

118
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: been around Brent enough to know to have been to

119
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: hear him tell a story that even I was a

120
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: part of, and it was like, well, geez, I wouldn't

121
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: have told it near that entertaining. So, I mean, I

122
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: think Brent. It might seem like Brent has had like

123
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: an exceptionally wild life. I think he's probably had a

124
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: more wildlife than most people. Yeah, but he's a really

125
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: really good storyteller and remembers detail and remembers stuff that

126
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: other people don't. So I'm paying you a big compliment,

127
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: but I'm also drawing it. I'm also trying to make

128
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: sense of it. But no, you're your your last one

129
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: about three stories that didn't fit. Yeah, So the ethical

130
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: qualms that I wanted to bring up was cursing in church.

131
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Did y'all hear that?

132
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: That's the funniest stories?

133
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hunter, your son hearing his father used foul language.

134
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: Three days before that? I mean, you would think of

135
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: all the things that happened to a little fella in

136
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: three days. I mean, it's everything he looks at in

137
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: every direction. It's something new, you know. I mean, because

138
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: he's just learning to talk and learning to hear and

139
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: learn to pay attention to things that's going around him,

140
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: you know, And of all the things of all the

141
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: things that happened in that span of time, that was

142
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: the one thing he keyed on, and in the one

143
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: place he remembered that he had a city wide audience.

144
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: We were being broadcast on the radio that day. The

145
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: church service was.

146
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, and then uh and then your buddy who

147
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: shot Jesus.

148
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, man. I have told that story so many times,

149
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: and it is it's it always starts out some you know.

150
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 3: It's like you do. Sometimes you'll say, Brent, tell me

151
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: a story, and I'm like, I ain't got one, you know,

152
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: it's just things happened, and and that reminded me of something.

153
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: You know, we're riding down the road. That's when the

154
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: best stories come out, when we're doing something else and

155
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh gosh, I just saw a redbird. That

156
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: reminds me of something. But if somebody points a pistol

157
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: at me, it says, tell me a story. I'm like, okay,

158
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: I got a buddy that shot Jesus. One time, I

159
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: can tell you that story.

160
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: So it was a misfire, like he was. He didn't mean.

161
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: He didn't, Yes, exactly, he didn't. He thought he had

162
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: unloaded his gun. There's lots of story, lots of lessons

163
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: in that. Yeah, he wasn't he wasn't upset thinking he

164
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: had shot Jesus. He had shot his pistol in his house. Yeah, yeah,

165
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: a loaded firearm that he thought was unloaded.

166
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: Now was he being funny when he No, he was

167
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: very distraught. But why did he say I'm going to hell?

168
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: He took it. It was so a big burden on him. Now,

169
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: this guy had just gone to work as a police officer.

170
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: He hadn't gone to the academy yet, so he had

171
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: a big burden. And in the state of Arkansas, I'm

172
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: not sure that rookies now are if it's the same

173
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: way or not. But you when we went to work,

174
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 3: you had a year from the time you were hired

175
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: by a department and be under a field training officer,

176
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: and then within that year span, sometime during that year,

177
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: you had to go to the academy and pass that

178
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: to go, you know, back to work on the street

179
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 3: and be a certified police officer. So he hadn't done

180
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: that yet. So everything that he's learning he's learning from

181
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: a you know, the officers above him. And he was

182
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: getting ready to go.

183
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: To work that night, and he's quick drawn, Yeah, revolved.

184
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Was he pulling the trigger?

185
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Well?

186
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: Apparently so?

187
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, but but it was if it was

188
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: like if you I've got a story, But if a revolver,

189
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: if you feel like it's unloaded and it's a double action,

190
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: you pull the trigger, the hammer drops back and then fires.

191
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: Correct.

192
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: So I mean he must have been doing that.

193
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely it was.

194
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let me ask you a question. Okay, And

195
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: if you have any other comments on this country life,

196
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: now's now's the time. Have you ever accidentally discharged the firearm?

197
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: No?

198
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Never, not once? Never?

199
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: I take that back, Yes, I have turkey hunting.

200
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, see I knew it. What happened me?

201
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: And do you feel like you're being unfairly interrogated right now?

202
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: No? Okay, because I could lie just a Tuesday.

203
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm just watching the facial expressions here, trying to figure

204
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: out what clays.

205
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: I could have. I could have lied and said no,

206
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: but I do recall all the time. Uh, And it

207
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: was a faulty. It was a brown and pump shotgun

208
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: had a broken safety. Me and another friend of mine

209
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: had left going turkey hunting in the afternoon. We were

210
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: walking down this road and he said you better. We

211
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: need to load up now because we as soon as

212
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: we step off in the woods, we got to sit down. Right,

213
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: there's a turkey. We knew where the turkeys at. So

214
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: when I'm standing, I've got my barrel away from everybody,

215
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: I went in, threw one in the magazine, in the

216
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: from the magazine into the barrel, and as soon as

217
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: it slide hit home, bam, it went off. Really yeah,

218
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: and that's with my That wasn't my finger touching the

219
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: trigger and I didn't have a finger in the housing there. Wow,

220
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: that's it went off? Yeah, absolutely, did Ben?

221
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever shot a firearm intentionally?

222
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: No?

223
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 6: I haven't, Dad, I shot holding my gris.

224
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: You did, Yeah, I vaguely remember that. It was after

225
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: I was you know, it was in an area where

226
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: that peg board is and the backside of it's all rock,

227
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: you know on the outside. Uh huh, and uh. It

228
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: was pretty revealing. You know how dangerous it is to

229
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: play with firearms.

230
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 6: You know what were you doing? I was just cleaning

231
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 6: my gun or something.

232
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

233
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 6: It was probably at three fifties and I couldn't have

234
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 6: been a revolver.

235
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was, but I.

236
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: So you intentionally pulled the trigger. You just didn't think

237
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: it was loaded. Yeah, you just thought you had cocked it.

238
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: And they're just gonna kind of yeah. Yeah, pretty stupid.

239
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Pull the trigger. Pull the trigger, man, Miss nukemb Have

240
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: you ever fired a gun on accident?

241
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: I have a story about a bow and arrow. Okay,

242
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: So when when we were all little, my brothers left

243
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: my two middle so I had three older brothers, and

244
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: then me and my parents left the two middle brothers

245
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: alone for the first time. And the oldest brother was

246
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: kind of law and order and he kept everything everything

247
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: going well. I remember as we were pulling off, all

248
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: of us felt a little bit nervous about the two

249
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: middle brothers being home alone. I was the youngest sister,

250
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: and I still knew this isn't a good idea. And

251
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: as we pulled. As we pull out, my dad yells

252
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: out the window, hey, don't play with bb guns while

253
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm gone. Like we were just they were just you

254
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: could tell now as a parent, I know my parents

255
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: were just thinking through all the things they could do

256
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: to hurt themselves. So my brothers went back to their

257
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: bedroom and got a bow and arrow. Now it wasn't

258
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: like a professional bow and arrow. We weren't bow hunters

259
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: or anything. I don't even know what kind it was,

260
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: but apparently it had a an arrow that could go

261
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: through a boot, through a leather boot. We learned that

262
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: because my second oldest brother shot my brother right above

263
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: me in the foot with this arrow while we were gone.

264
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: And when we pull up, we just see being like

265
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: writhing in pain on the ground outside, Randy looking very

266
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: scared to see my dad pull.

267
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: You know.

268
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: They they were trying to get the boot off, but

269
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: it was I mean, it was in his skin, and

270
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: and so they were they were freaking out. And after

271
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: that I decided to never mess with with anything. And

272
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: so I was a good sister and always learned from

273
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: my brother's mistakes. And so no, I have never not

274
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: that I've.

275
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: Ever discharged the fire ate my compliments to him for

276
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: not shooting Bob.

277
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

278
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were just trying to keep you real.

279
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: Where are you going with this?

280
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Well? Have you I've got a story one time, one time,

281
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: I remember Misty called me when I was away and

282
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: she she said, something's going on in the house. It

283
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: was late at night. Do you remember this?

284
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

285
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: I remember?

286
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: And it was real, It was real scary. She thought

287
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: somebody was in our house and I wasn't there, and

288
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: and I don't remember the details at all, so I

289
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: won't elaborate on them. I just remember telling her, it's

290
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: totally fine if you just want to take that pistol

291
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: and just fire off around, just aim it right through

292
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the roof, just shoot. I told her to do that,

293
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: and she didn't, and it ended up like being you

294
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: know nothing. Do you remember that?

295
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: I vaguely I remember.

296
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I remember thinking what it would be. I put the

297
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: roof on my house when we built it, and I

298
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: remember thinking it won't be too hard.

299
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: I very clearly remember, but that's not I don't remember it.

300
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: I missed and missed the part about the roof. I

301
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: remember you telling me just get the pistol and just

302
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: if anybody's in the house, just shoot. And I said,

303
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: what if I miss? And we just built the house.

304
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: And that was to shoot somebody.

305
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: Right, You weren't, but that's how I heard it. I

306
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: was like, miss, and you said, hey, just just you

307
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: told me just it's okay if you fire a bunch

308
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: of holes in the in the sheet rock, and I

309
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: just remember thinking it was really hard to put up.

310
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, we take we take intruders pretty serious

311
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: around our place. Real on the door text first come over,

312
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: No Dad, I've told you this story. I'd be perhaps

313
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: you won't remember the details of it. But I got

314
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: a Ruger forty four magnum nine inch barrel super Red

00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Hawk for graduation. Graduation, a big, big pistol. I was

316
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: doing some hog hunting and I was gonna deer hunt

317
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: with it. And one day I was setting out on

318
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: public land hog hunting and just board sitting on a

319
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: log and it's a double action revolver and I was playing.

320
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: I was fiddling with the double action double Do you

321
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: know what a double action is, Misty. It's a revolver.

322
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: So you cocked the hammer, but if you but well,

323
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: if you pull the trigger, the gun goes off.

324
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: It way you talk down to the most highly educated person.

325
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I like that.

326
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: That's my role in this, well.

327
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: A double action because I was I was in the

328
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: hammer with my thumb click click, and pulling the trigger

329
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: but having my thumb on the trigger and letting it

330
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: down softly, just kind of getting a feel for the trigger.

331
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: And I had just done it so much I just

332
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: kind of got into like a comatose state. And I

333
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: had that barrel laid across my leg just like this

334
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: right here.

335
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 6: And uh.

336
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: And at one point I didn't put my thumb on

337
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: the trigger and I just pulled the trigger and it

338
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: just forty four mag I mean it was like a

339
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: major thing, like it was. Yeah, and I probably never

340
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I learned a lot from that. It left black marks

341
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: on my pants.

342
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: Sure on both ends.

343
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,399

Speaker 2: Never made it to my ears.

346
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you for a long time. I did

347
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: tell you that eventually.

348
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like this is sweet.

349
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: Remember he has drank that out of his mind.

350
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,000

354
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,440

355
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: the deputy share here's a law enforcement story. Got a

356
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: call one time this lady said, somebody shot my house.

357
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: And so, man, we're beating feet over there. We'll see

358
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: what's going on. And we go into this lady. She

359
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 3: lives in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere

360
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: and she was in the laundry room ironing and the

361
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: deep freezes in there, and laying on top of the

362
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: deep freeze is a forty five round that's made a

363
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: dent in the deep freeze. But it came straight down

364
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: through the roof. Somebody shot the gun up in the

365
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: air and he came came through the roof, hit the

366
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: deep freeze right beside where she was ironing.

367
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Really yeah, just the bullets laying there, just the bullet. Yeah,

368
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: So it had lost enough velocity that it probably wouldn't

369
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: have killed somebody.

370
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: It would have hurt. Yeah. I mean it came through

371
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: and it made a big dent in that deep freeze.

372
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: It hit her on the top of the head.

373
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: This is this is like the side of the Unsolved

374
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: Mysteries where like eventually comes out like there's somebody listening

375
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: to this right now down around Warren, Arkansas. What county

376
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: was it, County? Union County, Arkansas. That's going, man, I

377
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: let one fly straight up in the air.

378
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

379
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I've always felt like if you if you shot like

380
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: because like squirrel hunting, you're shooting twenty two rounds in

381
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the air, and if you miss, like twenty two rounds

382
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: just going in the air. I've always felt like they

383
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: would lose enough velocity that it would be like dropping

384
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: a twenty two round like out of an airplane, like

385
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: it would just hit on the ground. Do you think

386
00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: that's true.

387
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: I don't think any of that's even close.

388
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: You remember me telling the story about shooting the game

389
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: warden's house. That's one story that it's not quite as

390
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: dramatic as that introduction. But whoa, I've got a story.

391
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: I told you you got to want you hear it.

392
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: You'll remember it.

393
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: But uh the game warden lived right next door to me,

394
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: and his house burned. He moved mobile Homi in and

395
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: I was shooting my bow in the backyard and I

396
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: missed my target and it hit hit a rock and

397
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: flew right in the back of his and uh so

398
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I went and knocked on his door, and I said, man,

399
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: I got some bad news for you. He was really

400
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: nice about it.

401
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 3: So anyway, I appreciated that.

402
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: Robert Ball really nice guy. And you just pulled the

403
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: air out, Yeah, did he do you have to repair it?

404
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 6: No, it was a little low, and you know, you

405
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 6: didn't notice it much.

406
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: His wife we had to call the amulus first wife,

407
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: not really so if you own somewhere around Hot Springs, Arkansas,

408
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: a nineteen sixty four double wide with a small arrow hole,

409
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: and it may have been that mobile.

410
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: That's right.

411
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: Uh, that's funny. That's funny. Okay. The other thing I

412
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: listened to the I got caught up on this country

413
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: life this week, and so your your story of chasing

414
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: the school bus in the truck?

415
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 3: How about that?

416
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy, Brent. You must have been a

417
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: wild kid.

418
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: Man. I just have wild ideas and it didn't take

419
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: me long.

420
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid that your dad would have.

421
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 3: I wasn't scared of nothing.

422
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Did your dad not?

423
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: I told you I've been on h Spencer's Meat Eater

424
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: Trivia twice, and when I sit out in that chair,

425
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: I know I'm fixing to win. I have got a

426
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: total of four questions right out of twenty of the

427
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: two times I've been on there.

428
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: That's the usual amount of undeserved confidence.

429
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: But when I sit down there, I think, man, I

430
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: am fixed to kick everybody's butt in't here. I just

431
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: I never walked up to the plate. I didn't think

432
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't going to hit a home run. I hit

433
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: won and little I had no reason to think that.

434
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: But I don't lack for self confidence.

435
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: But when you were nine years old taking your dad's

436
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: truck and chasing the school bus.

437
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: The only thing I could think of was me passing

438
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: that school bus and throwing them the deuces as I

439
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: went by, and barely looking over the steering wheel.

00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: and Clay were on the way to ball practice and

474
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: they didn't finish it. He went to ball practice, he

475
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: came out and he said, Dad, can we can we

476
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: finish up that podcast? And so they came in and

477
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 2: they said, you should really listen. Listen to this one.

478
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: Brent's going to retire. I guess did you read you

479
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: recorded it before you retired, like the week before you retired,

480
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: so you weren't retired anyway. So I listened to it

481
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: that day and yeah, that was. It was a very

482
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: touching Brent.

483
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: That was Is that where he went over the fence?

484
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 5: Yep?

485
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would get the lady that was really good.

486
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: That was really good. Man.

487
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 6: I tell you what, I tell you what I would

488
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 6: have done. I would have called in sick.

489
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: Somebody had to go in there.

490
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: How's it feel to be U It's uh.

491
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of surreal. Yeah, you know, that's a big

492
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 3: responsibility that I carried for a long time, thirty two years,

493
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: and it feels good. It's uh, it's strange though, it's

494
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: it's just a little weird, you know. And I told,

495
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: I told Alexis, you know, Bailey, who's eleven, she's so

496
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: much younger than my other two children, Amy and Hunter,

497
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: who they were aware of the things that I was

498
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: doing and the stuff I was going through, and and uh,

499
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: it was hard. And uh, I told Alexis said, I

500
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: don't want Bailey to ever even know anything about that

501
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 3: stuff that I used to do. And she says, I

502
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: think that's wrong. She needs to know about her daddy did,

503
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 3: so when she gets older, you know, maybe maybe she

504
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: can learn some of that kind of stuff. But she's

505
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: probably right. She probably doesn't need to know eventually, because

506
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: it gets kind of an excuse of why I'm so crazy.

507
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's been a lot of it's been pretty

508
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: pretty wild.

509
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well cool, No, I'm I love it.

510
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: I love it very much.

511
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben, what you got there on the floor is

512
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: the deer. Let me see that thing. I hadn't even

513
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: touched it. He's got a good mass, So Ben, Ben

514
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: killed the biggest buck like you've ever killed?

515
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 5: Yep, yep. On September twenty third, twenty twenty three.

516
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: Well open, there's more impressive than what I saw on

517
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: video or what the photo I saw. Just the mass. Yeah,

518
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: like that that was. You know, you can tell a lot.

519
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't judge a white tail entirely based

520
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: upon mass, but you can tell quite a bit about

521
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: their age, just maturity level. Maybe not fine tune in it,

522
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: but I mean that's for sure a four and a

523
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: half year old plus deer for around here. Yeah, it's

524
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: it's a it's a ten point.

525
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: Don't don't you know how much you score? If your score?

526
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: No, I hadn't scored it. I mean, yeah, are you

527
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: going to score it today?

528
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: Uh?

529
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: I don't know, might as well you could.

530
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: You always be disappointed.

531
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 5: That's kind of where I've been, is like I don't

532
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 5: want to taint my perspective.

533
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: Scores, you know. So back in the day. I mean

534
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: back when this American hunting television started in the in

535
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: the in the nineties, late eighties. Man, if you saw

536
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: the cover of a VHS tape at Walmart that said

537
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty inch buck by bo, you were

538
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: just like, holy cow, I want to see that one

539
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: fifty for sure they would be like man, I mean,

540
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: and those were big numbers. I don't really understand what's happened.

541
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: There are more one forties, one fifties and bigger deer,

542
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: but more people have cameras, more people are filming, and

543
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: in the outdoor industry, there's just a lot more one

544
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seventy eighty ninety two hundred inch deer

545
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: being killed on film. But a one hundred and forty

546
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: inch buck is still just as hard to kill and

547
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: still just as elusive. Like in my if my in

548
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: my hunting locally, like I hunt one hundred and forty

549
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: inch deer about once every eight years, just the truth,

550
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, And I have hunted some good deer in

551
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: the last several years. But but I say that, to

552
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: say a deer like that, I wouldn't even score because

553
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: it won't it probably won't. It won't score one forty,

554
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: so it might as well just just say you think

555
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: it's one sixty. Yeah, I would just say probably it's

556
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: probably in the ballpark of one sixty.

557
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: But it was the story that meant so much to

558
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 5: me and just how all the stars aligned. Yeah, well

559
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 5: all that's well, even just this place I'm hunting is

560
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 5: some private land that I was I've been picking up

561
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: the phone and writing letters, trying hard to find a

562
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: place to for me and my little girls to hunt.

563
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 5: It was like winning the lottery, Like I couldn't believe

564
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: that they called me after getting my letter. The summer,

565
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 5: I was scouting and put cameras up, and this is

566
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 5: one of the first bucks on camera, really, and I

567
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 5: and I just thought, and he was consistent, I mean

568
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 5: almost daily, and it was just like is this too

569
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: good to be true? Like I write this letter, I'm

570
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: hunting this land, this does the first buck I see.

571
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 5: I talked to Jessica and my wife, and I was like, listen,

572
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 5: he's so consistent. If I stay out there all day

573
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: on opening day, like he will die. There's no way

574
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna see him. I stay all day. So

575
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 5: I get out there opening day and it's like ninety degrees.

576
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember how hot it was.

577
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 5: It was so hot, and I stay, I saw doze

578
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 5: just all day. I went came back out around four

579
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 5: o'clock and thinking like, man, I can't believe this buck

580
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 5: has it come. Just like so many of those hunts,

581
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 5: it was right at dusk that these four to doho

582
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 5: come out. And they come up and all of a sudden,

583
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 5: it's like they just like I had a neon flashing

584
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 5: light on me, and they just got so nervous and

585
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: they all were working me and stomping their feet and

586
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: all that jazz for probably about twenty minutes. Oh really,

587
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 5: And I was just so nervous. I was like these

588
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 5: I was like, I really hope the buck doesn't come

589
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 5: out right now when these dough are about to sure enough,

590
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 5: I see three bucks coming from the thicket. And let

591
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: me tell you this. I know where this buck sleeps,

592
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 5: I know where he eats. I mean, I know his

593
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 5: schedule and where this guy's at. He comes up from

594
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: the thicket and I'm just thinking, golly, while he's dough

595
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 5: on me and you.

596
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: Can see him come.

597
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 5: He's coming, He's coming, and he the doe start walking

598
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: away they were spooked, like, not to the point of running,

599
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: but they're just like, I don't like this guy. And

600
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 5: he comes in to feed while she's still kind of

601
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: spooked at me, and I just got nervous, like I

602
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 5: didn't want to wait around too long. And it was dusk,

603
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: and so he was. He was slightly quartered a quarter

604
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 5: toward me, you know, not preferable. But I knew I

605
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 5: just I needed to take a shot. Well, I shot,

606
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 5: and I did hit him. I knew I hit him,

607
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 5: but the way he behaved, I thought, I don't know

608
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: if I hit him.

609
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: Real great.

610
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 5: He ran twenty yards and looked around with his little

611
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 5: buddies beside him, and then he just turned up the

612
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 5: this mountain that I'm on and he just ran one

613
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 5: hundred yards and I watched him run up the pill

614
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 5: uphill pill I mean sprinted. I thought, oh no. Well,

615
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 5: eight minutes later I hear him crash. Well, I got

616
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 5: down and check my arrow and it was gut shot

617
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 5: and I was like, golly. To make things crazier with

618
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 5: it not only getting dark, is we've got a massive

619
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: thunderstorm coming in in about thirty minutes. And me and

620
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 5: my daughter, my oldest daughter, go out. I mean just

621
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 5: ride at dawn and we searched high and low that

622
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: area where he was at. We couldn't find blood, We

623
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 5: couldn't find anything, and it had.

624
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: Poor Yeah, was gone right.

625
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 5: We searched for two hours up on that mountain and

626
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 5: then I went down to the thicket where I know

627
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 5: he beds. I thought that's not where he goes, and

628
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 5: there'd be water flowing. Looked around a bit and I

629
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: knew that'd be like a need on a haystack. And

630
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: my friend Matt Taylor, he knows the guy with a dog,

631
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 5: so he come out. He was actually confident about the rain.

632
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 5: He said that when the deer dying, that there's a

633
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 5: pharrenomb that released through their hoof, and the rain actually

634
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 5: kind of spreads it out a bit. And he said

635
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 5: his dog's tracked after rain all the time. I was like, okay,

636
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 5: that's yeah exactly. Anyway, he got.

637
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Some comments on that here.

638
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

639
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, he gets out there and the dog she picked up.

640
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: She picked up his trail from where I shot all

641
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 5: the way up the mountain, and then she got real confused,

642
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: and he said it's it's probably because we were walking

643
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: around so much. So they say, I was like, that's great, excuse. Well,

644
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 5: he stayed out there. We searched for hours, We worked

645
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 5: that mountain, and then I convinced him to go down

646
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 5: to the thicket. We tried the thicket and uh couldn't

647
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 5: find him, and I was pretty devastated. It was just like,

648
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 5: I don't know what what to do next. You know,

649
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 5: it meets gone and this there's just this thicket is bad.

650
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: It's so thick.

651
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, I slept on it. We'll got Monday morning.

652
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 5: I said, I'm gonna take a day off work and

653
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go search that thicket, every inch of it.

654
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 5: He's got to be there, he's he's got to be dead.

655
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 5: He's got to be on this eighty acres that I'm hunting.

656
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 5: So I literally get to that thicket and zig zag

657
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 5: it in a perfect systematic way. I'll show you my

658
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 5: on X trail later, Brent and Gary of where I was.

659
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask if you used on X to

660
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll show you. It'll make a real grid.

661
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 5: I mean it was crazy. Yeah, But anyway, it's now

662
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 5: like almost evening and I thought, you know what, I'm

663
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 5: gonna go walk to the total opposite end of the property.

664
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make a big circle. I'll go over the

665
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 5: mountain again, and then I'll go to this fence line

666
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 5: I know of, And this fence line it splits the

667
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 5: woods up where this farmer lets his cattle sometimes go,

668
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 5: and so it's real wide open woods. And then on

669
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 5: my left will be my thick woods that I think

670
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 5: he's in. Well, on those rare looks to the right,

671
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 5: about one hundred and fifty yards, I see a giant

672
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 5: vulture and I thought, I think I just spook that vulture,

673
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 5: and so I turned started walking in another one. I

674
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 5: was like, they're eating something big. I start running and

675
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 5: there's another vulture, and sure enough that was him. Whoa

676
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 5: and he he ran from where I shot about four

677
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty yards. Based on the route he took

678
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 5: by the crow flies, it was two fifty three hundred

679
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 5: yards right, and so that's where I got him. It's

680
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 5: I it was a story of perseverance because I'm the

681
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: kind of person that's like, I don't like taking note

682
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 5: for an answer, And when I woke up Monday, I

683
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 5: was like, why do I really need to spend a

684
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: day doing that? It's like, that's just what I've got

685
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 5: to do. I know he's there.

686
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: You know what. The thing about a gut shot animal

687
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: is that that's a mortal wound, so that that animal

688
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be gonna be dead.

689
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: You know.

690
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a bummer. You couldn't couldn't find it.

691
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, because he had a lot of meat, it

692
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 5: was it was huge. Yeah, definitely the biggest here.

693
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: I've talked to a guy. I've talked to two people

694
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: and the last couple of weeks that have used drones

695
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: to recover deer.

696
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

697
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: It was actually a guy in Missouri that had shot

698
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: a deer and he told me and I said, and

699
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: he talked to me about what happened, and it was like,

700
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: how'd you find it? And he said, well, I had

701
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: trouble finding it. He used a drone. And I actually

702
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: was like, in the back of my mind was wondering

703
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: if that was legal. Yeah, and because you can't use

704
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: drones for hunting, but it's totally one hundred percent legal

705
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: in Missouri. I don't know every state, but they're actually companies.

706
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: They are people that are licensed drone operators that have businesses.

707
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: And he called a you know, like drone operator company

708
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: to come and they charged like four hundred dollars just

709
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: to show up and one hundred dollars if they find

710
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: the deer. I read on their Facebook page. So he

711
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: paid them five hundred bucks and they found that deer

712
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: just like that. It really his deer had run nine

713
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards from where he'd shot. Recovery really quickly.

714
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 5: This is my on X route. That that's my ladder stand.

715
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 5: That's that thicket, and he was way over here.

716
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: Nice, that's pretty nowhere nowhere.

717
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 5: Near and and that that all that blue is that thicket.

718
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 6: Oh we care how you covered it.

719
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something here, and it's it's everybody knows

720
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: how pro I am of hound hunters and hounds love hounds,

721
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: grew up running dogs. I'm gonna throw this out there

722
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: for the the dog tracking community.

723
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: Two.

724
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know just a charge. I've rarely I

725
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: I when people tell me they're gonna call a dog,

726
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm just like, good luck it it I And it's

727
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: not the dog's fault. It's not the handler's fault.

728
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: And uh.

729
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: And and if some of my friends that have dogs

730
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: and have attracted ear for me, hear this, brothers know

731
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: that I love you every dog handler. I know is

732
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: training a pup? Was your guy training a pup?

733
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: No?

734
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Well not with us, but it was

735
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: a younger dog that he hadn't run or something.

736
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 5: Well, no, he it was a veteran dog. He told me.

737
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 5: He told me a story that's like identical circumstance.

738
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: But everybody, I'm always going to training and uh and

739
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: then uh and then they want you to get out

740
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: and see. This is where the story gets. This is

741
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: where it's tough. You call a dog guy and he's like, well,

742
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: stop looking, and you got to stop looking and wait

743
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: till he gets there. And that's where I think most

744
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: people mess up because you should have just kept looking.

745
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: Do you see what I'm saying? I mean anyway, so

746
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: I've got a little bit of a qualm with dog

747
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: dog trailing, not that there's anything wrong with it, but.

748
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: Just Britain and I am very nervous.

749
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I love them, I love love I know

750
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: lots of good dog trailing guys, but I just I

751
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: just haven't seen them. Yeah, and yeah, I've used them before.

752
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: I've used them before.

753
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think what you're trying to say is

754
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 5: it's not like the.

755
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: Perfect it's not. It's not. I'm not. Yeah, that's the

756
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: good thing.

757
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 5: I got my hopes of I got my hopes way

758
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 5: too high.

759
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. Most if you've never been around the recovery, and

760
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: people are gonna right me and they're gonna be upset

761
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: with me. I'm just telling you, I've hunted my whole life.

762
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: And when they say you're calling the dog, you're in trouble.

763
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: It's what you should do. You know, what do you do?

764
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

765
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 3: I know, here's what you should say. Practice shooting better.

766
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, amen, Yeah, put the dog trailers out of business,

767
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: make good shots. Yeah.

768
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: Well, and I think too if if you're referring to people,

769
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: we'll call it a dog almost as a last resort.

770
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: And it is causation or correlation, you know, like these

771
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: things are correlating, but the dog doesn't. But the deer

772
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 2: is pretty good and lost. Something's wrong. Yes, that's people

773
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 2: dogs in bad circumstances.

774
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Exactly, That's exactly PhD.

775
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: Right.

776
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not a guaranteed thing. It's just not

777
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: a guarantee. You walk and now you want a dog

778
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: to find it. Yeah, and he's going to end up

779
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: at Walmart and the grocery section.

780
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,400

793
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,479
Speaker 3: I like yours was great. Come on, I really liked that.

794
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: That was a good story.

795
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: Killing the deer in the coyoke.

796
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: And the deer was good.

797
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 5: Which one is it?

798
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: It's which it's that double white throat patch up there right?

799
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is pretty in it.

800
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: That's uh. That was a good.

801
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: Story, better than mister Henry's story.

802
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: Mister Henry is great, and I don't know that I

803
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 3: could pick a favorite of him because there's there was

804
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: a lot of differences in him. You know and that

805
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 3: even the dog hunting story, you know, yeah, I identify

806
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 3: that we used to have dogs, running dogs and deer dogs,

807
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: but we didn't have walkers. We had beagles. I was

808
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: telling somebody that other day about there was like, man,

809
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: you know them walker dogs or throat pushing those dear

810
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: bodyes so fast. You know, it's like a quick drawl.

811
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's like a shooting gallery out there. And

812
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 3: I was like, man, we had beagles and we sat

813
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 3: on the I remember sitting on the stand one time.

814
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: These beagles. Can hear them coming out there and they

815
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 3: sound like, you know, miniature hound dogs. And they was

816
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: and they had logged in this in this place where

817
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: I was. Where I was, we were hunting the year before,

818
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: the winter before, so there was and it had been wet,

819
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: so there was some deep skinner ruts in there, and

820
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 3: you could hear you could hear them, the beagles coming,

821
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: but they was oh oh, And then you hear them.

822
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: No going down, And I thought, what the world is that?

823
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 3: And I got to look it out there and I

824
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 3: could see like a hundred yards you can see them

825
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: all together coming across the top of the ground and

826
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 3: put the disappeared barely.

827
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 5: That's great falling in the sky.

828
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: But anything with dogs, man, you know, I'm am about that.

829
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: But mister Henry, mister Henry, is that guy's a legend.

830
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 3: I'm surprised I hadn't already heard about him.

831
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But then which one stood out to you?

832
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 3: Well?

833
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 5: The dog one was my favorite. And I'll tell you yeah,

834
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 5: because saw my granddad deer hunted in the nineteen thirties

835
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: and forties on horseback when there's hardly any deer in Arkansas,

836
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 5: and that was the way they hunted. And so I've

837
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 5: just grown up hearing those legends. And then that's how

838
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 5: my dad started out hunting too, and so I've never

839
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 5: got to experience that. So when I hear those stories

840
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 5: and relate them to what I hear my granddad talking

841
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 5: about growing up, it's it's like it helps me experience that.

842
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 5: And when they talked about killing those three bucks, yeah,

843
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 5: it's like I could just feel like how epic that

844
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 5: would have been. How the camaraderie, Like it's like, wow,

845
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: like all these guys bringing all these I mean, I

846
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 5: had to have been just such a huge day for

847
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 5: all of them. Yeah, involved, So I really enjoyed that

848
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 5: story of all of them were good.

849
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: There were so many unwritten rules about that too. You like,

850
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 3: the camp next door had dogs, and they run their

851
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: dogs run a deer in front of us, And if

852
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 3: we killed a dog or killed a deer in front

853
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: of their dogs, we gave them half the deer. I

854
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 3: was just might as like one of the eleventh Commandment.

855
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: Everybody did that. Lots of stuff like that, and they

856
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 3: would just make for good neighbors.

857
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad, which one stood out to you?

858
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 3: Well?

859
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: Obviously I liked yours the best, but if I hadn't

860
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: raised you, I would probably you know, I liked the

861
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: two hundred inch buck because it's so unusual. I mean,

862
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: that's just like a freak story. I mean, how many

863
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: guys in America has killed a two hundred inch buck? Yeah, so,

864
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's in a category all by itself.

865
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: But mister Henry, mister Henry smokes. I saw that picture

866
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: of his room, Yeah, that I've never seen a room

867
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: like that before.

868
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

869
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's killed more bucks than I've ever

870
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: even thought about. Yeah, and uh, you know for him

871
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: to still be going at age eighty, I mean, like,

872
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, we we tracked some of the same periods.

873
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, I'm seventy five, he's eighty. Uh he could hunt.

874
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't.

875
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

876
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: And so I see what he did and and I

877
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: mean I'm like in awe, this guy. Yeah, I mean

878
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: he's like did you say he was a legend? Should

879
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: have been a legend we should have known about. I mean,

880
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's I don't think there's many people in

881
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: the whole country that can match what him and his

882
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: son did. Yeah, yeah, I was shocked. Like so my

883
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: one of my one of my friends, Tracy Jones, over

884
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: in East Tennessee, had said, Hey, there's a guy you

885
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: got to meet over here in the mountains, and uh

886
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: and and I knew nothing of this guy other than

887
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: just what my friend told me. And uh so I

888
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: went over there, and I didn't know what I was expecting.

889
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: But that's not what I was expecting. Henry let us

890
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: in his house. And and that video actually did not

891
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: show the entire room. There were walls behind me that

892
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: were full of big deer on Instagram.

893
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love I loved it.

894
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: You probably told it the story better than the story

895
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: really was about the guy's accusing him and his son.

896
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you said, well, and then they're

897
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: hard enough to kill in the day. There are enough

898
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: to kill in the daytime. I can't imagine trying to

899
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: kill them the night. Yeah, no, they The other thing

900
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: is is that they those are all I didn't say it,

901
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: but those are almost all public land deer.

902
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 3: Now.

903
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: A lot of the biggest ones came from Illinois, you know.

904
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: They They have gone to Illinois for thirty years and

905
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: have and have They were never outfitted hunts. And he's

906
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: just done it. He's just done a lot. But a

907
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: neat guy. He just vibrated with excitement talking to him

908
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: for real. Eve know, most older people you talk to

909
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: their deer story is I've killed so.

910
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 6: Many deer, I don't care about doing it anymore.

911
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: Right, So when you find a guy like that, is

912
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: that is so unique in itself that he's still fired

913
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: up in seventy Now I'm sunenty five and I'm still

914
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: fired up. Yeah, just as much as I was when

915
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: I was thirty five. I dream about getting out, But

916
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: after this knee surgery, I found other hobbies. Yeah that

917
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: I like.

918
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 3: It's easier.

919
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I found hobbies that I don't have to climb

920
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: moundas that I want to climb trees. I don't have

921
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: to worry about older. I just go out and enjoy

922
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,959
Speaker 1: my hobby. So but I can't help it. I'm gonna

923
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: be back in the woods at some time. Yeah yeah,

924
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: Well the other thing, and I captured some of this

925
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: on video that it doesn't really translate into putting it

926
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: on social media that easy. But mister Henry has designed

927
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: a tree stand that he's used for thirty years. He

928
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: has a unique tree stand that's all his own design really,

929
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: that's real lightweight and compact and that he uses. He

930
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: has a he built an electronic deer cart for hauling deer.

931
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, once he got older and was hunting that

932
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: far back in the mountains, he needed a cart. And man,

933
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: that part of the world is it is incredible. They

934
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 1: got big mountains too. I mean he was talking about

935
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: those boomer little boomer chipmunk squirrels being over five thousand feet.

936
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: I mean that's a high mountain with big relief. Like

937
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in Denver, Colorado, and you talking

938
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: about a five thousand foot mountain, it might be flat.

939
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the relief means how much mountain

940
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: is actually there, but out there five thousand foot mountain

941
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: might have four thousand feet of Really that's a big mountain.

942
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 3: You know.

943
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: One thing he.

944
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 6: Said that that caught my attention.

945
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: You're talking about five thousand feet, you're talking about going

946
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: deep into wilderness. But he at least once said he

947
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: went back, you know an hour. Yeah, I'm thinking about

948
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: places that you and I've hunted.

949
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 6: I mean it's an hour and a half, two hours.

950
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean I don't know, maybe the road

951
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't question this guy at all.

952
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 6: I mean any way, I mean he is like my

953
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 6: new hero.

954
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. What did you think about Aaron Stanfol's confession?

955
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 5: That was the funny story? You know what I thought

956
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 5: about with that. I was like, you know when you're

957
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 5: watching a sitcom and you're like kind of chuckling and laughing,

958
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 5: and you kind of if you ever stopped and be like,

959
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 5: if somebody did that in real life like that.

960
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be funny, it wouldn't be funny.

961
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 5: And you wouldn't Yeah, You're like, nobody would actually do that.

962
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 5: That's how it felt. Like, listen to the story, it's like,

963
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, you really did that.

964
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: Well, I would say the best thing that he did.

965
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: Was he told the story? Yeah, I mean if he

966
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: and I think he really was, like he was paying

967
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: penance by just like telling the story.

968
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: Well, I just I'll tell this story just because it's funny.

969
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't because I don't feel guilty about it at all.

970
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 3: But you mentioned my brother earlier. Tim, we did. We

971
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 3: have shared everything together. He's eight years older than me.

972
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 3: He is absolutely next week. He is absolutely my hero

973
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: to this very second, always has been. He took me

974
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 3: hunting when he should have been left me at home

975
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 3: because I was more in the way than the help.

976
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 3: But he took me.

977
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: And him I have a lot in common.

978
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 3: He took me with him, and we shared everything except turkeys.

979
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 3: You know. He would go listen and I would go listen.

980
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 3: I call and that night you hear turkey. This morning, nope,

985
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 3: taking the turkey foot I had dried out and make

986
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 3: tracks where I knew he was going to see him.

987
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 3: He's like, man I got some sign down here and

988
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 3: I cannot hear this turkey. I'm like, bro, just hanging there.

989

Speaker 3: of my spot.

992
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: So okay, so this is this is no different than what.

993
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 3: It is, exactly the same thing, even more links that

994
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 3: you're going. There was no when it came to turkeys. Now,

995
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: deer wasn't that big a deal for me and him,

996
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 3: So we were actually scared. We was going to kill

997
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 3: a deer. Didn't have to mess with it while we

998
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 3: were So we just did the deer hunting to keep

999
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: us busy till duck season started. So I get it.

1000
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 3: I know where they're coming from. I don't know why

1001
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: Fest up to it, but because you can go to

1002
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: heaven with that on your conscious, surely, I hope people

1003
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 3: a turkey hunter, I am good to go.

1004
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: Uh. I thought his story of killing the two bucks

1005
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas was really good too.

1006
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: They stay apart.

1007
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: It just sounds so easy.

1008
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 6: All those were very very good stories.

1009
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 3: Every one of.

1010
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: Them just unbelievable. Most of them, well, we've done so

1011
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: We've done three deer Stories podcasts and just a full disclosure.

1012
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: Part of the Deer Stories thing is a function of

1013
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: the amount of work that it takes to do a

1014
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: documentary style podcast. And in the fall, we're we're hunting,

1015
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: we're traveling, we're doing stuff, And so the Deer Stories

1016
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: is a way for me to collect stories. And I

1017
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 1: love him just as much as his documentary style podcast. Honestly,

1018
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a good change of pace for people,

1019
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: and and I I really, I really enjoy it. But

1020
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: we're about to We're about to start learning stuff again. Sorry, guys, you'

1021
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: are gonna actually have to listen and pay attention and

1022
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: not have any more fun. We're just like, it's gonna

1023
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: be like a militant journey through American history culture, deep

1024
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: dives into yourself. We're gonna be digging up our own

1025
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: our own issues, looking at the world. You ready, Missy.

1026
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just saying I know about a couple of these.

1027
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good It's gonna be a good

1028
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 2: little run.

1029
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh gosh, I wish I could. I wish I

1030
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: could tell you what I'm working on. I've got three

1031
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: things I'm working on. Your shadow.

1032
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 2: I have a funny story about about Bear, our son

1033
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: who's had an incredible dear season so far. Yeah, he's

1034
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 2: gone out and and and sought a lot of land

1035
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: and done a lot of scouting and has good public

1036
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: land options and uh. He he's good at recruiting people

1037
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: to come with him. So there's there's a little crew

1038
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 2: of guys that goes out and they go out and hunt,

1039
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 2: and then he's also good at bringing them back to

1040
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 2: help him process his his deer. He does a great

1041
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 2: job of that. And he was telling us about one

1042
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 2: of his friends. One of his friends has a romantic interest.

1043
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: I think I think this is this is an okay

1044
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 2: story to tell. I don't think I'm disclosing anything, and

1045
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 2: has been less interested in helping Bear process venison this

1046
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 2: the he Bear said, they have a group chat all

1047
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: these guys, and Bear texted and said, hey, you've not

1048
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: been as a as as in the deer hunting this year.

1049
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: What's going on? I think you your priorities are are

1050
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 2: a little a little skewed this year. And the guy

1051
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 2: writes back on the thread to all the guys and

1052
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: he said, bear into your You'll understand when your priorities change.

1053
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: And bear bear in front of all of us. We're

1054
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 2: all processing. We had like a little meat processing party,

1055
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:16,479
Speaker 2: and Bear very adamantly and boldly said, my priorities will

1056
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: never change. I told my mom, and she said, you

1057
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 2: need to record that somewhere.

1058
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 3: The same thing, the same reason y'all got your processing

1059
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: the deer is the same thing that's going to happen

1060
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: to Bear.

1061
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 5: One.

1062
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that one.

1063
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said. We had a good way.

1064
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: Strangely, I think Bear will have his life management skills

1065
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: down enough that he will be able to maintain high

1066
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: levels of integrity in both categories.

1067
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 2: Well, I looked at him. I said, Bear, I'm pretty

1068
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 2: sure your priorities are going to change. And he said, well,

1069
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: what I'm saying and he started back pund a little bit.

1070
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that I think that my I alreadies

1071
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 2: will be such that it can accommodate both. I will

1072
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 2: not have to cut back on any deer hunting. I'm

1073
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 2: telling you right now, Bear needs to cut back on

1074
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 2: his deer hunting, working to school. His priorities are not

1075
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: quite what they should be right now. But he's had

1076
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: a very successful hunting Season's funny.

1077
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:22,800

1124
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 3: the folks that are building our boat, and man they

1125
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:58,960

Speaker 3: That we can use and a lot of folks can

1127
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: use out there on the big water.

1128
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 6: It's twenty six foot. That's you wouldn't much smaller, would you.

1129
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Well, you wouldn't want much bigger really on for a

1130
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: like a pleasure craft, just because it would be too big.

1131
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: That's a big boat. Yeah, Yeah, that's a big boat.

1132
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's made for the Mississippi River. I

1133
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: mean that's what that am I right, Bren, Absolutely, I

1134
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 1: mean that that's a river boat.

1135
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 3: That's the Mississippi river boat.

1136
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's longer than this room we're in. Your

1137
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: cousin has had a twenty three foot and he had

1138
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: plans to go down the Mississippi. I don't remember if

1139
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: he ever did it, but twenty three I think would

1140
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: be a minimum. Yeah, I mean he can get dangerous

1141
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: out there. The river's super low right now. The river

1142
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: that's the only bummer about it. For the next little

1143
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: wild River's gonna be really low, which I mean won't

1144
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: make any difference. It's big enough for us to get down.

1145
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: But Mississippi River she's going dry, pretty preacher man says

1146
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,600
