So if you like 125 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: make an old drive and learning about the mountain men, 126 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 3: come on out and see us. 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: Y're honest. I understand you have a announcement you like 128 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: to make. 129 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I just saw that too, and I wasn't quite prepared. 130 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: But it's a bummer to have to give this announcement. 131 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: But it's in regards to the seven hunters that were 132 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: on that flight going to d C last week that 133 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: crashed and they lost their lives. They came they were 134 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: on their way home from foul planes which cal myself, 135 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: you didn't make it to one digit. No, Matt, Max Grant, 136 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: Clay did a trip. Steve was going to missed one. 137 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, we did our three media experiences over there, 138 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, seven of their hunters were on their 139 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: way home and unfortunately lost their lives. So our thoughts 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: prayers go out to everybody involved and associated with them. 141 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: But if you'd like to help out the families that 142 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: are very affected by losing these seven men, there's a 143 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: couple of ways you can help out. There's a a 144 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: GoFundMe page that is I think the title is help 145 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Southern Maryland Families after Flight five three four to two crash. 146 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: They've already raised This is awesome. They've raised two hundred 147 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: and almost one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars.

If you wish to help them out, 150 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: you can.

There's 155 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: nine days still remaining to buy tickets. It's like a 156 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: raffle deal, I'm guessing.

But 672 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 2: thank you, Phil, I appreciate that. 673 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 8: You bet you bet well. Guys, my name's Phil Kramer. 674 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 8: I live in Arizona, born and raised here, moved off 675 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 8: to a couple of different states throughout school and my career. 676 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 8: I grew up on the back of my dad in 677 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 8: a backpack run a trap line and that kind of 678 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 8: instilled a love for the outdoors and I've never been 679 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 8: able to shake it, and God willing, I'll have it 680 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 8: till the day I die. So with that being said, 681 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 8: I've always been in the outdoors. I've always hunted. I've 682 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 8: always found any excuse I could to get outside, and 683 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 8: that has kind of led me to Jay Scout Outdoors 684 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 8: and gold S Turkey Hut. And that was a combination 685 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 8: of timing with Jay looking to expand the business and 686 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 8: grow it, as well as me making a full time 687 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 8: career change. Prior to that, I worked in the drilling industry, 688 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 8: which fortunately left enough time for me to be in 689 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 8: the outdoors and chasing my passion when I wasn't on 690 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 8: a drill rig, so everything kind of worked together, and 691 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 8: now it's full time. I spend the majority of my 692 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 8: time down in Mexico looking at ranches, scouting new ranches, 693 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 8: going to some of our existing ranches, and making sure 694 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 8: everything's good there. And then as I got to do 695 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 8: with you gentlemen, I get the guide and that's when 696 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 8: the real fun happens, is getting to interact with you 697 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 8: guys and seeing what we can put on the ground 698 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 8: and battling the winds when it happens. 699 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: Yes, we did our fair share of that over the 700 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,959 Speaker 2: past week or so. I don't know if you guys 701 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 2: have questions, but this was a first time trip to 702 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 2: Mexico for me and my first time hunting out of 703 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: the country. I wonder if you have just like a 704 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 2: few thoughts on for those who have never done this. 705 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 2: What if people need to know about Mexico and what 706 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 2: sort of what can they expect, because I think there's 707 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 2: a for I've talked to a lot of people since 708 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 2: I got back and said, oh man, that's always been 709 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 2: a bucket list trip for me, but it's a little 710 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 2: intimidating to leave the country and go hunting in a 711 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 2: place where you don't speak the language. So can you 712 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 2: just share a little bit about that, you bet? 713 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 8: And I think the first thing to remember is any 714 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 8: time you leave the country, you know, make sure you 715 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 8: have your passport, make sure you do your research, make 716 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 8: sure you're going with a trusted outfitter and or person 717 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 8: that knows the ins and outs of where you're going. 718 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 8: A lot of people are intimidated, and there's a lot 719 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 8: of stuff in the news that makes people think it's 720 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 8: not safe. However, this is my seventeenth year doing it. 721 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 8: I think it's jays twenty eighth or twenty ninth year, 722 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 8: and we're very fortunate that we've never had a bad experience. 723 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 8: We can say. There's a lot of things to that, 724 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 8: and the main thing is is we do our research, 725 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 8: We work with the local people, we make sure that 726 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 8: all of our PaperWorks in order, we work with licensed 727 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 8: Mexican outfitters to make sure that everything we're doing is 728 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 8: above board. We're not traveling to spots that are unsafe, 729 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 8: and we're doing everything right. So my first and foremost 730 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 8: advice to anyone looking into doing a trip like this 731 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 8: is make sure you go with a repudle outfitter, do 732 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 8: your research, get references. If they can't provide references, then 733 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 8: it's probably a red flag. But don't be afraid to 734 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 8: go because, as you guys saw, and most of you 735 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 8: guys have been down there quite a bit, it's a 736 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 8: trip of a lifetime. I mean, you get to experience 737 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 8: true Mexican culture, true authentic food, and best of all, 738 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 8: when you're out on those hills most of the time, 739 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 8: your phones don't ring, it you don't have cell service, 740 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 8: and you get back to the way life should be. 741 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: Amen. How would you compare this year's deer season? You're 742 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,760 Speaker 2: you're back at home in Arizona. How would you compare 743 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 2: this year's dear season to those you've experienced previously in 744 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: terms of bucks and weather and all that. What are 745 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 2: your takeaways from your twenty twenty five season. 746 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 8: As you guys witness first hand, the weather was horrendous. 747 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 8: Normally you'll get a day or two of winds that 748 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 8: will gus twenty thirty miles an hour. For whatever reason, 749 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 8: this year, especially during your trip, the wind did not 750 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 8: let up. It never blew itself out at night. Every 751 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 8: morning we're agreeded with just a blast of air right 752 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 8: in your face, and that made it difficult. As you 753 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 8: guys mentioned, you're looking for a little animal and anytime 754 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 8: you have that wind, everything around you's moving, your optics 755 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 8: are moving, and it makes it difficult. The other thing 756 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 8: is cous dear or cows dear, depending on how you 757 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 8: say it is they're small animal and they hate the wind. 758 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 8: It dolls their senses. It makes it harder for them 759 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 8: to smell, predators to hear, so they don't move near 760 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 8: as much. And with the drought that we've been having 761 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,439 Speaker 8: for the last two years and it made it double tough. 762 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 8: We were very fortunate. We were able to dig out 763 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 8: some really good bucks and a lot of our hunters 764 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 8: had experienced great success. And all I can say is 765 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 8: we're looking forward to some rain and some good moisture 766 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 8: and God willing the weather cooperating a little bit. But 767 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 8: one thing about it is, no matter what the weather is, 768 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 8: we can't do anything about it. Just go down and 769 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 8: hunt hard. And we're very fortunate that we have good properties, 770 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 8: good genetics, and we can scratch out some good dear. 771 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: Love it. Yeah, I mean, despite the weather, we were 772 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 2: out there in the dark in the morning and hunting 773 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,720 Speaker 2: till dark in the evening, which is I think always 774 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 2: the mark of a great trip. 775 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 5: That one windy day, I think it was the second 776 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 5: to last day, or might have been the last day. 777 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 5: We watched that dough just standing there in the sun 778 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 5: for an hour and a half and not move. Yeah, 779 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 5: it's just when it's windy and cold like that, those 780 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 5: things you can just tell you just look at them 781 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 5: and they're like I just don't want to do anything. 782 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: And not a lot of body fat on them to 783 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 2: keep them warm. 784 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 785 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 2: Phil, we got a question for you, and I don't 786 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 2: mean to put you on the spot here, but yes, 787 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 2: you do. You know you talked about references from clients 788 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 2: and how important those are to check out. I was 789 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 2: wondering if you could provide some references for the four 790 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 2: Mediat crew members who had the pleasure of joining you. 791 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 2: If you just have a couple of words, you know, 792 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: reviewing your experience, you know, whatever comes to mind.

I didn't 832 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 8: get to hunt much with col but we talked a 833 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 8: lot on the radio because normally we were not on 834 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 8: the same page. We could not figure out where each 835 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 8: other was looking. I didn't know there were two mountains 836 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 8: at one time. But as a pleasure, we got to 837 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 8: spent a lot of time together in camp and I 838 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,720 Speaker 8: learned a lot, very interesting in a wealth of knowledge 839 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 8: that I never knew existed. There was a lot of fun. 840 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 8: Uh and then Yannie, I mean, we we hunted together 841 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 8: just about it day because we're the only stubborn fools 842 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 8: that doesn't think one hundred and five inch bucks a 843 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 8: big enough buck. So we got to spend a lot 844 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 8: of time together, a lot of laughs, a lot of knowledge, 845 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 8: going back and forth. He constantly proved me wrong on 846 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 8: things that I thought I knew was a holy grail, 847 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 8: to the point where videos he's like, Phil, you were wrong. 848 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 6: Again. 849 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know you're talking about how it's so important 850 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 1: to have the same nomenclature right when you're out there hunting, 851 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: because you are communicating with each other through radios to 852 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: be like, hey, are you looking at this century plant 853 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 1: or this akat or whatever, and so it's very important 854 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 1: to know which ones. And we had I had I 855 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,399 Speaker 1: think last year a couple of years ago, through that 856 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: picture of this app figured out which ones were the 857 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: century plants. Well, it turns out it's the ones that 858 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: we also call a gave. It's one of the same. 859 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: It's just that every whatever, seventy five or one hundred years, 860 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 1: they shoot out that stock and it has the flowers 861 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: and all that. And then Phil was like, yeah, but 862 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: it's all that purple one that has the skinnier leaves. 863 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, that's great. I'm glad I learned that. 864 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: And then the next day I'm walking around, I'm like, well, 865 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: hold on, that one with the fat leaves also has 866 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: a stock coming out of it. So yeah, but again 867 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: it's I'm not trying to prove anybody right or wrong, 868 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: but it's just so that all of us can be 869 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: on the same page next time. And you're like, yeah, 870 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: you see that sentry plant. Yeah, that's where that buck is. 871 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 872 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 2: Word of advice for first time Kuzdiar hunters. If you 873 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 2: don't know anything about plants, there aren't a whole lot 874 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 2: of other landmarks out there to like direct people in 875 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 2: a lot of those hillsides are pretty. 876 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta know your sphoring floor. 877 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very uniform. And so it's like below the yucku, 878 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 2: above the red oak, there's a dead juniper, and then 879 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,399 Speaker 2: there's a dead oak. And it's just like, unless you're 880 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 2: dialed in on what you're looking at, you're gonna be 881 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 2: your head's gonna be spinning. 882 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, you spend a lot of time down there trying 883 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 5: to tell people landmarks that like will walk someone into 884 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 5: a deer, And when everything looks the same, it's tough 885 00:46:59,600 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 5: to do that. 886 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, unless you're saying, like there's three there's three yukas. 887 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,720 Speaker 2: Two of them are a little higher. The third ones 888 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 2: offset a little bit to the right. Below that is 889 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 2: a red oak, you know, And it's just like you 890 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 2: got to be able to recognize that stuff and not 891 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 2: scratch your head because otherwise everybody else can be looking 892 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 2: at that deer and you're gonna be looking at the 893 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,919 Speaker 2: wrong mountain. Sometimes you end up looking at the wrong 894 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 2: mountain anyway, right cow. 895 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,800 Speaker 3: And working really hard at it. 896 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that people folks are wondering too, why we 897 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: all went and guided this year with you know, Jay 898 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: Scott's crew and Phil and Kate, And if you are, 899 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: I'll try to explain it quickly. The logistics of going 900 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: to do it, d I y. You have to have 901 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,959 Speaker 1: your own bring down your own truck, own trailer, owned 902 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: side by side. Steve and I have hunted down there 903 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: with outside by sides. It's doable. I don't know if 904 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: you've ever done one with that side by side with us, Yeah, yeah, 905 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: you've done one. Two. A lot of hiking. You're just 906 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 1: not covering the amount of ground that you wish you 907 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 1: could be covering, So there's just much less it's less 908 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: efficient hunting. In years past we've paid people to drive, 909 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 1: you know, trucks and side by sides from Montana. We've 910 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: had friends come from Colorado and bring side by sides 911 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: to make it easier to cover all those logistics and 912 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: it you know, for those of you that haven't experienced 913 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: the other you won't know. But for me, being the 914 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: guy that's usually worried about all that, it was really 915 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: nice just to land in Arizona, meet up with these guys, 916 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: and boom across the border. You know, next thing you know, 917 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 1: we're sighting our rifles and then we're hunting, you know, 918 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: And they took care of all that that aside. It 919 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: was awesome for me to go to hang out with 920 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,959 Speaker 1: a couple of real coups deer guides for a week. 921 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,879 Speaker 1: It was a real confidence booster for me to know that, yes, 922 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: they definitely did glass up more deer than I did, 923 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 1: but not by the ratio that I thought they would. 924 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: So I'm feeling like I'm ready to go coups deer 925 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: hunting again, and I'm confident that I can find a 926 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: couple here. 927 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 6: Yeah. 928 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 2: No, it was a great trip, and I think like 929 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 2: part of it too, is just having someone with the 930 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 2: amount of experience that Phil does telling you what what 931 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 2: cous do you like, what they don't like, what you've 932 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 2: seen him do, I mean, and like predicting what they're 933 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 2: going to do, which is something that like, even if 934 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,439 Speaker 2: you've been down there a couple of times, you don't 935 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 2: have that depth of knowledge. 936 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 8: So well and just sheer eyes on the mountain, you know, 937 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 8: guys helping your glass because a lot of times you'll 938 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 8: get up on your glassing point and it's almost overwhelming. 939 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 8: And when you can share that with other people that 940 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,479 Speaker 8: you know are putting in the work and they're able 941 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 8: to find animals, it helps a lot. But one thing 942 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 8: I was going to say on the little review there, 943 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 8: I will say, honest doesn't quit. I mean on the 944 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 8: last night till I was like it's dark, we're done 945 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 8: you Honest was like, I think I got five more 946 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 8: minutes left. No quit. It was just a great time. 947 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like to hunt, and you know, so I 948 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 1: like to hunt right until the end. 949 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 8: Make sure you're on the same page with identification of 950 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 8: the plant. So we did a little I don't know, 951 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 8: show and tell basically as you say, when we were 952 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 8: on there and getting ready to cite the guns in 953 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 8: it's like Okay, this is juniper. That's a red oat. Yeah, 954 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 8: that's a central plant. That's a yuka, that's a mesquite, 955 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 8: that's an ocatillo. So that way, when it came down 956 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 8: to the nitty gritty, when it was time to find 957 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 8: some deer, we were all on the same page. And 958 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 8: I think that went a long way through the week 959 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 8: we spent together. 960 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's great. 961 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 3: And uh, I gotta say, like, even when your butt 962 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 3: cheeked a butt cheek on the mountain, you cannot take 963 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,399 Speaker 3: your eyeballs off a deer. So oh yeah, even if 964 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 3: it's a whisper not over radio to the person next 965 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 3: to you, like, you have got to walk them in. 966 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 3: And sometimes the deer that you're seeing it's because it 967 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 3: is only because they moved, and it takes a long 968 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 3: time for the person right next to you in the 969 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:10,240 Speaker 3: exact same spot to stare at that spot and be like, oh, yep, 970 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,879 Speaker 3: that weird shadow line is part of a deer's butt 971 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 3: cheek laying down underneath and behind whatever. So that communication 972 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 3: can get really frustrating. So once you lock in, it's 973 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 3: an incredible benefit. 974 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:34,360 Speaker 2: Yep. For sure, Phil really appreciate your time and really 975 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 2: appreciate your hospitality last week. I know I speak for 976 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 2: all of us when we had a tremendous experience, and 977 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 2: I hope we can hunt again very soon. 978 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but before Phil goes, are there any listener questions 979 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 1: or questions? 980 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 3: Also, Phil, I want you to talk about the Google 981 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 3: hunt that you're donating for NWTF. 982 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely so. As I mentioned, also director of operations 983 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 8: for Gould's Turkey Hunt, and we run a approximately two 984 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,240 Speaker 8: hundred and fifty UH hunters down through Mexico and Sonora 985 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 8: and Chihua wherever year after chasing the Gold's turkey. So 986 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 8: what we did is actually were approached and donated a 987 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 8: Goulds turkey hunt that you'll get to come down and 988 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 8: hunt with us either in Sonora or Chihuahua and hopefully 989 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 8: knocked out Gould's turkey. It off your bucket list and 990 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 8: go one step further to your Royal Slam or World Slam, 991 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 8: whichever it might be. 992 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you honest, we did have one question for 993 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 6: Phil that someone actually someone else in the chat already answered, 994 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 6: and I'm assuming Danach or someone asked what the Boon 995 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 6: and Crockett minimum was for Cow's deer, and Lance answered 996 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 6: one hundred inch for typical, one five for non typical. 997 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 6: If that's that's accurate, Phil, I don't know if you're 998 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 6: if you if you know or not? 999 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure not. 1000 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 8: I believe it's one ten actually for a typical. But honestly, 1001 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 8: there's some deer that we kill that just score doesn't 1002 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 8: do justice. You know, we we try not. We use 1003 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 8: score as a descriptive tool, right because that's what everyone 1004 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 8: wants to get and gives us a good tool to 1005 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 8: actually measure. However, there's some deer that we kill that 1006 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 8: score just doesn't do justice. Even though it might be 1007 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 8: one sixteen, that buck should be one hundred and thirty 1008 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 8: just depending on where the mass measurements lie. And you know, 1009 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 8: the blading just like Col's buck out at the end 1010 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 8: of the beams, I mean broomstick and just didn't get 1011 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 8: credit for it except for the one measurement. So I 1012 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 8: believe it's one ten though for book minimum. 1013 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 2: Fantastic, Well Phil, again, pleasure seeing you, and maybe we'll 1014 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,919 Speaker 2: run into each other at the Hunt Expo next week. 1015 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 8: Well, Jan I'll definitely be at the NWTF, so anyone 1016 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 8: out there can look us up.

Just curious who 1037 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 6: ended up with that sweet Alluma craft boat. You and 1038 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 6: Chester did the Walleye fishing tour in if you if 1039 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 6: you remember. 1040 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I still have it. Who ended up with it? 1041 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 3: Uh? 1042 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1043 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 5: Still use it all summer long. Love that boat. Put 1044 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 5: a lot of fish in that boat. Yeah, I'm gonna 1045 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 5: use it again this summer right. 1046 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 6: On Leland is asking Randall, did you come across any 1047 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 6: mountain women in your research. 1048 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 2: That's a good question. So during the air of the 1049 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 2: mountain men question, there weren't a ton of uh, like 1050 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 2: Euro American women who came out with the trapping brigades. 1051 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 2: But interestingly enough, a lot of mountain men married into 1052 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 2: tribes and had relationships with indigenous women, and that was 1053 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: like a huge part of mountain men culture. Like a 1054 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 2: very significant percentage of all mountain men marriages were two 1055 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 2: Indigenous women, and I think Bridger was married to three 1056 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,719 Speaker 2: different Indigenous women. So in the book, we have a 1057 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 2: chapter about of all the different facets of mountain men 1058 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 2: tribal relations, and in that chapter we do get into 1059 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 2: sort of the unique history of mountain men marrying Native women. 1060 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 2: And we also have a segment of the wife of 1061 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 2: a missionary who attended rendezvous and was horrified at the 1062 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 2: behavior that she witnessed. So, yeah, look forward to that. 1063 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 6: Great a question for Seth, how did you find your 1064 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 6: place in Alaska? Was it a Zillo thing or just 1065 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 6: word of mouth? 1066 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,400 Speaker 5: I was up at Steve's place one summer just for 1067 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 5: vacation and it's right next door to his and there 1068 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 5: was a for sale sign on the front porch. 1069 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 2: Good old fashioned way, Yeah, yeah, hippie homebrew. 1070 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 6: This is kind of a general question, but it's dumping 1071 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,840 Speaker 6: in Wisconsin. He says, while he's stuck inside, what's the 1072 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 6: best way to get out and start prepping shooting lanes 1073 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 6: during the winter? Anything to do during the spring. I mean, 1074 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 6: he's just asking about prepping shooting lines during every season 1075 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 6: of the year. But you can if there's any think 1076 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 6: you can get a head start on when it's during 1077 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 6: the winter. I don't know if you guys have any. 1078 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 2: General winter land management principles for a Wisconsin landowner. I 1079 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,399 Speaker 2: think we have someone who could speak to that. 1080 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 1: Is he asking specifically about shooting lanes. 1081 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 6: I mean this I was directing this at at U 1082 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 6: Janni's just about when Yeah, Randall summed it up, well, what. 1083 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 2: Are you doing? What are you doing with your proble? 1084 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 2: What are you thinking about right now? With your with 1085 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 2: your response? 1086 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: Man, what am I not thinking about? But I mean, 1087 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 1: I guess to answer the shooting lane question, I mean, 1088 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,919 Speaker 1: I don't think it'd be really much different in any 1089 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: season other than your leave. You know, coverage might be different. 1090 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: So the winter is a great time to do it 1091 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: because it's gonna it looks most like what it looks 1092 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 1: like in November now versus you know once that you 1093 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 1: get new leaves coming out. But yeah, just get out 1094 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: there with a chainsaw man and go to town. 1095 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 5: Uh. 1096 00:57:56,200 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: But you know, if I could get to with constant 1097 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: any time I wanted to, I'd probably be thinking about 1098 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 1: maybe doing some frost seeding if there was anything. You know, 1099 00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to do a big like native grass 1100 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: and for restoration, and we'll be applying it through just 1101 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: frost seeding, which is basically means that you're going to 1102 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: add it when there is some snow on the ground 1103 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 1: and then let the freeze thaw cycle bring those seeds 1104 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 1: into the ground versus trying to plant them. There's that 1105 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: you know, herbicide. There's probably not much it's really gonna 1106 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: do well because the folier applications won't work because there 1107 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 1: is no foliage and I don't think that the plants 1108 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: are really still sedessing, so they're not really going to 1109 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 1: bring in much herb beside. So that's probably out. But 1110 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 1: TSI timber stand improvement, which is basically walking through the 1111 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: woods with a chainsaw and knocking down trees that you 1112 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: have deemed that aren't you know, worthwhile for the wildlife 1113 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: in your area. Uh, that's probably that's like an every 1114 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: day of the year thing. 1115 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, this time of year puts a lot of 1116 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 5: buds on the ground for deer to like. 1117 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 6: That's right, if you need to knock down some trees. 1118 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: Homework Hebrew, they are. 1119 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 6: All right, let's get Jim have hefflefinger in here. How 1120 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 6: about that? 1121 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: Let's do please. 1122 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 2: Jay, guys, thank you for your patience. 1123 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: Jim probably has a thought on what you might do 1124 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 1: this time of the year in Wisconsin for to improve. 1125 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 7: Dear, I'm going to be there in a couple of weeks. 1126 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,919 Speaker 7: In My suggestion is spotted Calum bloody murrays and find 1127 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 7: it a nice. 1128 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 3: Tab for some deep thinking. 1129 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, right, for thinking about what you might do 1130 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 7: with your land.

Now Jim's Jim's 1146 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,920 Speaker 5: the main I know. 1147 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 1: I know. That's why I talked. 1148 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 7: I have I have an article I wonder if you 1149 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 7: can link that in the show notes where I talk 1150 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 7: in detail about the subspecies is named after Elliott Cows, 1151 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 7: really naturalist and army surgeon, and that was his name, 1152 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 7: and it was named after him. So it's it's Cow's dere. 1153 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 7: There's no doubt that it's Cow's deer. Elliott in a 1154 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 7: footnote and one of you is a bird guy and 1155 01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 7: one of his bird Maggot, one of his bird articles. 1156 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 7: He wrote a footnote and said my name is pronounced 1157 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 7: cow z. I mean he actually tells us himself how 1158 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 7: it was pronounced, so there's no question how I was pronouncing. 1159 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 7: I try not to be at a denunciation nazi, and 1160 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 7: I don't correct anybody, but you know that's how it's pronounced, 1161 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:14,919 Speaker 7: So that's how I pronounce it. 1162 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Do you feel like cows is gaining any traction whatsoever 1163 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: in your neck of the woods. 1164 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 7: I would say there's probably an increase in one percent 1165 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,800 Speaker 7: in the last decade the people using cows instead of coups. 1166 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 1: Okay somewhere that's it counts as forward movement. Yeah. 1167 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 7: In fact, what I'm surprised at is the residence that 1168 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 7: people dig their heels in and they get angry about 1169 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 7: how you pronounced the deer, and I'm just pointing out 1170 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 7: the correct way. You can say it any way you want. 1171 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 2: Well, Jim, what so if you're explaining to someone what 1172 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 2: the no matter what you call it, what these things are? 1173 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 5: Uh? 1174 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 2: What are some of your main takeaways as far as uh, 1175 01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 2: differentiating a coups deer cow's deer from your average white tail. 1176 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 7: So there are subspecies of white tail deer, They're not 1177 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 7: some different kind of white tail they're just like there's 1178 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,960 Speaker 7: there're about thirty eight subspecies of white tail in North 1179 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 7: and South America. They're just another one. But they are different. 1180 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 7: And we'll look in a minute. Here's a South Texas 1181 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 7: white tail, much bigger, of course, and if we put 1182 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 7: a cow's white tail next to it, you can see 1183 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 7: the difference. Not okay, not really, not really, here's here's 1184 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 7: a So there's a comparison of the skulls of a 1185 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 7: cow's white tail versus the Texas white tail. So think 1186 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 7: about this. This isn't even just a big borealis Minnesota, 1187 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 7: Wisconsin whitetail. This is from South Texas. So just like 1188 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 7: another kind of a Southwestern white tail, but dramatically dramatically 1189 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 7: different in. 1190 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 3: But you found a real nice cows deer skull to 1191 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 3: show off. 1192 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 7: Yes, this is about one hundred and seven. So you 1193 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 7: were talking about minimum score. It is one hundred and ten, 1194 01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 7: so that doesn't make it. But that's pretty close to 1195 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 7: minimum Crockett score. And in a couple of years of 1196 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 7: each other. I mean, they're they're not dramatically different in age, 1197 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 7: so it's a valid comparison, especially of skull because they're 1198 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 7: they're adult adult. There phil If you can put that 1199 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 7: map up, let's look at where cows deer are distributed 1200 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 7: in the southwest. Just the map from my book Deer 1201 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 7: to the Southwest, and that red is colored what we 1202 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,480 Speaker 7: call cow's whitetail distribution. So you can see that it 1203 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 7: doesn't touch any other kinds of white tails out species 1204 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 7: on the west or the north. There's no white tails 1205 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 7: in northern Arizona, and northern New Mexico doesn't touch any 1206 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 7: white tails on the east because of the Chuahuan Desert. 1207 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 7: It's a big grassland and there's not really white tails 1208 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 7: out there until you get over into the Carbon Mountain 1209 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 7: white tail in West Texas and then the Texas white tail, 1210 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 7: and so there's a physical separation on three sides. Now, 1211 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 7: if you go south into Mexico, the cow's white tail 1212 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 7: just blends into all those other smaller white tails. In 1213 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 7: South Texas. There's a whole bunch of Mexican subspecies of 1214 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 7: white tail. None of them are scientifically valid or scientifically 1215 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 7: supported by real physical differences or genetic differences. When you 1216 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 7: look at the genetics of all those Mexican sub species, 1217 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 7: they just kind of overlap in a kind of a 1218 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 7: scattering and we did early on about fifteen years ago. 1219 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 7: I worked with funding from Bonaicrocket Club, worked with some 1220 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 7: geneticists that I know and I've worked with for a while. 1221 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 7: I collected with some friends a bunch of white tail 1222 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:31,440 Speaker 7: samples from eastern white tail, from cow's whitetail in the 1223 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 7: US and also in Mexico, and we had geneticis apply 1224 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 7: a whole bunch of different genetic markers and fine tune 1225 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 7: a set of markers that really divided animals that are 1226 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 7: known cow's whitetail deer from animals that are known not 1227 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,919 Speaker 7: cow's whitetail deer eastern white tail, and those came from 1228 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,520 Speaker 7: Canada and from Wisconsin and from all kinds of different 1229 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 7: places that were not cow's white tail deer and phil 1230 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 7: If you put that scatter diagram, you can see what 1231 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 7: we came up with with a test. So those blue 1232 01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,520 Speaker 7: the blue squares are cow's white tail deer clustering in 1233 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 7: one neat little cluster. The white is a whole diversity 1234 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 7: of different white tailed deer from eastern North America that 1235 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 7: are not cow's whitetail deer. We had one deer. Then 1236 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 7: this is the value of the test. That someone comes 1237 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 7: up with a deer. And in this case, the guy's 1238 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 7: last name was Lay and he had this deer from 1239 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 7: the attic and his grandfather said he shot it in 1240 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 7: southern Arizona. And so he says, if this is really 1241 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 7: a cow's white tailed deer, this is the new world 1242 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,440 Speaker 7: record cow's whitetail deer. So that's an example of us 1243 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 7: applying this genetic test. Taking that unknown deer that someone 1244 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 7: says as a cow's white tail deer, running it through 1245 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,600 Speaker 7: the genetic markers, you can see it lands right in 1246 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 7: the middle of regular eastern white tails. So the Bundaicrocket 1247 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 7: and the Pope and Young Club are using that genetic 1248 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 7: test we developed a long time ago to keep the 1249 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 7: record book categories clean and separate and make sure nobody's 1250 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 7: got a brand new world record white tail that's really 1251 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 7: not a role record, cow's whitetail that's really not a 1252 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,520 Speaker 7: cow's white tail, and sneak one ofs. And so we 1253 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 7: can use genetics now to keep those record categories separately. 1254 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 7: So they do different genetically, mostly because they're physically separate 1255 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 7: from other white tails everywhere except when you go south 1256 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 7: into Mexico. 1257 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 2: Jim I see. We had a question in the comments 1258 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:26,560 Speaker 2: section about obviously CWD is a big concern for your 1259 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 2: average white tailed deer hunter. Are there any known instances 1260 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 2: of KU's deer being affected by CWD and sort of 1261 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 2: what's the prognosis there. Do you think it's a risk 1262 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 2: spreading down into that environment. 1263 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:44,200 Speaker 7: Arizona has not detected CWD, and we've been testing really intensively, 1264 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 7: and we're testing to the on the eastern border of 1265 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 7: Arizona because that borders New Mexico, which has some positive deer. 1266 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,120 Speaker 7: We're testing on the north and the northeast because of 1267 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 7: Colorado and Utah having positive deer. We have not detected it. 1268 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 7: It's not really being tested that much in Mexico, but 1269 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 7: there hasn't been There hasn't been any evidence of it 1270 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 7: in Mexico, So the answer and in southern New Mexico, 1271 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,479 Speaker 7: I don't. I think it's all mul there that they've 1272 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 7: had some positives in south central New Mexico. So I 1273 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 7: think the answer is no, Cow's whitetail deer has not 1274 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 7: been hasn't been detected, And maybe the geographic separation and 1275 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 7: the lack of people driving back and forth with Cow's 1276 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 7: white deal and trailers might help kind of isolate that 1277 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 7: a little bit. 1278 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 2: M pill any other questions there in the chat we 1279 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 2: can throw a jim Yeah. 1280 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 6: Sure. We had a couple Marty's asking do the coastal 1281 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 6: cows in Mexico show any differences from the rest of 1282 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 6: the population. I don't know what differences he's referring to, 1283 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 6: but if you have any. 1284 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 7: Insight, probably talking well, he must be talking about the 1285 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,600 Speaker 7: western border, the western coast of Mexico, by the Gulf 1286 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 7: of Mexico there the Sea Cortes, And no, there's genetically 1287 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 7: cow's whitetail are pretty genetically distinct until you go down 1288 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 7: and we did sample a lot of white tailed in 1289 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 7: Mexico until you get down into Mexico and then it 1290 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 7: just starts getting a blend of genetics. They're not so 1291 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 7: distinct there because they don't have that physical separation. And 1292 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 7: it's unique that in Sonora and Sineloa even you have 1293 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 7: these little white tails that are probably Cal's white tail 1294 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,799 Speaker 7: living really in some really low desert country, whereas in Arizona, 1295 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,799 Speaker 7: New Mexico that would be mule their habitat. But in Sonora, 1296 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 7: for some reason, we've got white tails really low down 1297 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,240 Speaker 7: into the desert all the way out to the Zeo Cortes. 1298 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 7: But they're not different. Those white tails in the state 1299 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 7: of Mixing state of Sonora, which is southwest of Sonora, 1300 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 7: and along the southwest of Sonora in the state of Sineloa, 1301 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,599 Speaker 7: those have been designated as a different subspecies. But that's 1302 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,160 Speaker 7: one of those deals where there really isn't any physical 1303 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,240 Speaker 7: differences or genetic differences that anybody has determined to be 1304 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 7: real differences. 1305 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:55,320 Speaker 2: Gotcha. Other listener questions Phil a couple. 1306 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 6: However, we're getting a few Zach's asking what the typical 1307 01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 6: home range radius and elevation is for cal He says 1308 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 6: he's seen them from fifteen hundred feet all the way 1309 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 6: up to five thousand in Arizona. 1310 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:10,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, you certainly can see him in those The probably 1311 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 7: the most of that distribution though, is going to be 1312 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,240 Speaker 7: from three thousand feet up to about six about seven 1313 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 7: thousand feet. Once you get seven thousand feet, you start 1314 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 7: getting more into the open ponders of pine forest, which 1315 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 7: isn't as good as that mid elevation with shrubs. And 1316 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 7: a friend of mine did his master's degree a long 1317 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,520 Speaker 7: time ago in southeastern Arizona and found that the distribution 1318 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,640 Speaker 7: of the shrubs is what really governed the distribution of 1319 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,559 Speaker 7: white tails, and that was highest in that four thousand 1320 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:43,439 Speaker 7: and five thousand and six thousand foot elevation range. It 1321 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 7: seems like there was another part of that question. Did 1322 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 7: I miss something besides elevation? Oh? 1323 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: Home, homerangeh about radius? 1324 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,719 Speaker 7: So we don't talk so much in terms of radius, 1325 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 7: but some of the work we did in southern Arizona 1326 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 7: showed that it's about a square mile. This country so 1327 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 7: rugged from an aerial and white tails being white tails 1328 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 7: a lot of places, about a square mile is what 1329 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 7: they'll spend most of their time in. 1330 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 6: What about during the rut, Jim, do you know how 1331 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 6: far they're traveling? 1332 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,800 Speaker 7: I don't know, but because we haven't done a lot 1333 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 7: of like GPS colors attract some of that stuff in Arizona, 1334 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 7: but they definitely will move. They're not staying in their 1335 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,760 Speaker 7: square mile at that time. And so when you're out there, 1336 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 7: you're seeing a lot of bucks on the move and 1337 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 7: they're not necessarily in the home rangeury using the rest 1338 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 7: of the year they're out, they're out just looking for 1339 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 7: for doughs that are close to asters. 1340 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,639 Speaker 2: Yep, Jim, did you get out and hunt coups yourself. 1341 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,080 Speaker 7: This year, I didn't. I hunted meal there. See when 1342 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,799 Speaker 7: I when I did my master's degree in South Texas, 1343 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 7: my my research was on trophy white tails in South 1344 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,479 Speaker 7: Texas and kyle predation after the rut. With trophy white tails, 1345 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 7: because those bucks are at close to a one to 1346 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 7: one buck to dough ratio old age structure, there's a 1347 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 7: lot of competition for doughs, a lot of fighting, and 1348 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 7: those bucks will lose twenty twenty five percent of their 1349 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 7: body weight during rut in South Texas because of that, Afterwards, 1350 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,839 Speaker 7: they're all worn out. They just want to find someplace 1351 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,719 Speaker 7: and hang out and recover. And also you've got dense 1352 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 7: kyote populations in South Texas, so we were finding packs 1353 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 7: of coyotes almost acting like wolves ecologically taking down these 1354 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 7: post rut mature bucks, where normally you wouldn't think of 1355 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 7: a coyote taking down a mature buck, but it was 1356 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 7: a unique circumstance, so we knew that was happening. So 1357 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 7: my research focused on could you control kyotes on part 1358 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 7: of the ranch and have so many mature bucks that 1359 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 7: you saved from kyle predation that you would have more 1360 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 7: bucks to hunt, and the answer in the end was no. 1361 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,839 Speaker 7: The answer was we saved a few bucks from Kyle predation, 1362 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,799 Speaker 7: but in the grand scheme of things, population wise, ranch wise, 1363 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 7: it wasn't worth all the money and effort you put 1364 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:45,080 Speaker 7: into controlling coyotes. You didn't get that much benefit in 1365 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 7: terms of number of bucks that you saved. So that's 1366 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:52,840 Speaker 7: to say those those buck to dough ratios after the 1367 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,040 Speaker 7: rut or during the rut in South Texas are different 1368 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 7: than you see in a lot of places in the West. 1369 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,680 Speaker 7: Although we were going to talk about the status of 1370 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 7: cow's whitetail and Arizona and it's it's surprisingly well. Our 1371 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,719 Speaker 7: harvests and survey data shows a pretty good steady increase 1372 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 7: for the last ten years overall in hunt success, the 1373 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 7: hunt successive hunters we try to manage in Arizona for 1374 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 7: in terms of hunt success, we try to manage between 1375 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,720 Speaker 7: fifteen and twenty five percent of the hunters being successful, 1376 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 7: and statewide it was forty six percent hunt success. 1377 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 1378 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 7: Buck to door ratios we try to manage between twenty 1379 01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 7: and thirty bucks per hundred dos, so twenty per hundred 1380 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 7: dozs is one to five ratio the thirty bucks per 1381 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 7: hundred dos is about a one to three ratio, and 1382 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,760 Speaker 7: our average is twenty five bucks per hundred dough state 1383 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 7: wide last year. That's a one to four buck to 1384 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:51,240 Speaker 7: dough ratio in mostly public land hunting. It's controlled with 1385 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 7: a lottery style draw, so we control the harvest that way, 1386 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 7: but not a bad buck to door ratio for public 1387 01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 7: lands in the West. For col's white tailed deer. 1388 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 1: Is that forty six percent success ray? Is that a 1389 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,560 Speaker 1: spike from previous years? And if so, what do you 1390 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:07,680 Speaker 1: think that's attributed to. 1391 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,759 Speaker 7: It's the end of an increasing trend. And then also 1392 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,320 Speaker 7: important point is we have a couple alternative management units 1393 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:18,520 Speaker 7: in Arizona where we manage for more mature buck h structure, 1394 01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,640 Speaker 7: higher buck to dough ratio, lower hundred densities, and so 1395 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 7: those are much harder to get drawn, but when you 1396 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 7: do get drawn, you've got a better experience and a 1397 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 7: chance to shoot a more mature buck. And that statewide 1398 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 7: total includes a handful of those units that run higher, 1399 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 7: So that's not the average of some of the places 1400 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 7: outside of those alternative funds, and that's at the end 1401 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 7: of kind of an increasing trend, so not really I 1402 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 7: guess it may be a spike, but it's definitely an 1403 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 7: increasing trend of hunt success for the last five to 1404 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 7: ten years. 1405 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:56,439 Speaker 2: Really gotcha? Guys, have any other questions for Jim here? Jim, 1406 01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,560 Speaker 2: I think we were running over time here. I apologize 1407 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,720 Speaker 2: we didn't get you sooner, but before we go, I 1408 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,040 Speaker 2: did want to thank you for a few months ago 1409 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,759 Speaker 2: you sent me an email about Sonor and hot dogs 1410 01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 2: and received a wonderful recommendation, and then we had the 1411 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 2: we had the privilege of joining you for a lunch 1412 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:22,000 Speaker 2: at Carreta del Rojo, Aurora. Still not good on my 1413 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 2: Spanish despite my immersion experience last week, but you you 1414 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,160 Speaker 2: not only did you recommend these dogs, you bought me 1415 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 2: one or several, and so I did want to publicly 1416 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,800 Speaker 2: just thank you for a wonderful lunch and a tremendous 1417 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 2: experience talking all things deer and hot dogs with you. 1418 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,400 Speaker 1: For those that don't know what a Sonoran hot dog is, 1419 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,519 Speaker 1: can you describe it? 1420 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 2: How about we let the local expert describe it. Because 1421 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 2: there's so many ingredients, I'm afraid I might leave one out. 1422 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and there's a lot of diversity. Yeah, it 1423 01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 7: was I recommended the best place in two to get 1424 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 7: snore and hot dogs, and by happenstance, I live a 1425 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 7: mile away, so I was able to scoop down and 1426 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 7: join you all. But it comes in a larger kind 1427 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 7: of a football shaped bund normally that's cut on the top, 1428 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 7: not a regular hot dog bun. The hot dog is 1429 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 7: usually wrapped in bacon, and then the bacon is fried 1430 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 7: so it's crispy on the hot dog. And then there's 1431 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:26,679 Speaker 7: pinto beans, there's mayonnaise, there's mustard, onions, and then usually 1432 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 7: served with a couple of peppers. I think that's probably 1433 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 7: the basis, but then you can have cherizo and cheese 1434 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:36,600 Speaker 7: and all kinds of things added to that, but pretty delicious. 1435 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,560 Speaker 3: I did manage to snap a picture of the schematic 1436 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:51,640 Speaker 3: for Lockeratus. It's jalapeno sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, grilled onion, bacon, tomato, 1437 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:56,880 Speaker 3: hot dog, beans, steam bun. I thought the grilled bun 1438 01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 3: was one of the hallmarks of the snore in hot dog, 1439 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 3: but that's not correct. That's an extra. 1440 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,679 Speaker 7: Yeah. Steam steam bun is what I consider the more typical. 1441 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 7: It's steamed so it's warm and a little softer. 1442 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 3: That was a huge upgrade in the world of snoring 1443 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 3: hot dogs. 1444 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 1: So thanks Jim, Thank you, Jim, appreciate it. Thanks Jim. 1445 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:25,080 Speaker 2: All right, Phil, we're a little over time here, but 1446 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:25,800 Speaker 2: I wonder. 1447 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,720 Speaker 6: Are you guys okay, I mean, yeah, wherever time? I 1448 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 6: don't still have a segment left. 1449 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 2: Corey crossed that one out. I think we're gonna keep 1450 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 2: that one. 1451 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,679 Speaker 1: We can rip through it quickly if we haven't fought 1452 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: you guys. 1453 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:37,400 Speaker 6: Busy. 1454 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's mean. I see to have to get some 1455 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: lunch in me before whatever is happening at one. Oh, sure, 1456 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 1: this will be fast. 1457 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 2: I think, do you have a jingle? I do have 1458 01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 2: a You should have led with that.

I poked 1546 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 5: a cow ouc in the butt with my gun barrel, 1547 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,799 Speaker 5: and I killed a turkey in my crocs. 1548 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 2: It's not the turkey and the crocs. 1549 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Hold on the when you poke the cow this I'm 1550 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,240 Speaker 1: assuming she was still alive. 1551 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, real live, wild out there hunting.

No, because I think the the croc thing 1559 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,719 Speaker 2: is true and the poking cow with the gun barrel 1560 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,760 Speaker 2: is oddly specific. But he could just be really good 1561 01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:54,200 Speaker 2: at this game. 1562 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 1: Uh huh.

I'm going to go with say 1566 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: that Seth has not killed a Boon and crocket book animal. 1567 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Pope and young antelope is pretty darned achievable, 1568 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 3: But I don't think he shot an antelope with your 1569 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 3: bill have you. Yeah, we'll go with the book book critter. 1570 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Unfortunately, Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. 1572 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,479 Speaker 5: This past hunt season, I was doing it was an 1573 01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:43,599 Speaker 5: opening day a rifle and had a cow elk come 1574 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,200 Speaker 5: running past me and I just gave a little poke 1575 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 5: and the asses went by so it didn't run me over. 1576 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 3: And you were dressed as a cow elk at the time. 1577 01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it smelled like one too. Yeah. I was gonna 1578 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:56,400 Speaker 1: ask if you did it in a little bit of 1579 01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 1: a motion of self defense, and it sounds like it 1580 01:22:58,840 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 1: that was the case. 1581 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just like it was just did it to 1582 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 5: keep it moving, you know.

In fact, I 1586 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,719 Speaker 2: know that cow knows one of my clues is false, 1587 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 2: that it's. 1588 01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 1: True, it's true. 1589 01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 2: Something to go with. Uh, shot a deer with my 1590 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:29,679 Speaker 2: pants at my ankles, caught a fish on a jug, 1591 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,599 Speaker 2: or shot a deer with a pistol. 1592 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the pistol. That's a lie. 1593 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I caught a fish with the jug is just 1594 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:47,679 Speaker 3: not very fun. 1595 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 6: So what would be the point that it's from Ohio? 1596 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,719 Speaker 1: So well, unless he's trying to fool you, that's the point. 1597 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's no money on the line. 1598 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:01,679 Speaker 1: What was the first one? 1599 01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:06,040 Speaker 2: Shooting a deer with my pants at my ankles and underwear? 1600 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:11,759 Speaker 1: Well, from our little our time spent together in Mexico, 1601 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: I know that Randall is often in that position. So 1602 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a high probability that you've done that. I'm 1603 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 1: gonna go with the pistol. 1604 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 6: Pistol. 1605 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with pistol. 1606 01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Well, it's catching a fish on a jug, son of 1607 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 2: my gun.

So 1616 01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:51,679 Speaker 2: I shot with a pistol. 1617 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 1: That doesn't count.
