I 13 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: got maybe a ten minute drive home, and that ten 14 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: minute drive is my wine down period from my cubicle nightmare. 15 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: And uh so I'm happy right now, not at work. 16 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm glad when you're happy, Dan, you're much more fun 17 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: to talk to. Um. Yeah, I'm I'm not doing too 18 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: bad over here either. I'm trying a new concoction. Um 19 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: for all those listeners of age, I'm drinking a bud 20 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: Light with orange. You know there's bud Light lime you 21 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: might be drinking Oberon with an orange. But I'm doing 22 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: a bud Light with orange today, and uh, it's pretty good. 23 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: I must say. I have never had that. Yeah, I 24 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think it's a thing, but I'm 25 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: gonna try to make it a thing. So everybody try 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: it if you're over twenty one. I think you'll like 27 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: it if you like bud light. So one time in college, 28 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: the only thing we had to mix was dr pepper, 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: orange juice and vodka and we called it the dirty 30 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: Foot for some reason, and that's what we drank for 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: about two weeks. All right, that's the podcast next week, 32 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: The Dirty Foot, The Dirty Foot. I think the name 33 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: is perfect. It really makes it sound appealing. It didn't 34 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: look it didn't look good, but it had a unique 35 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: taste to it. Yeah, no, I bet I know. Um. 36 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: I had a friend who used to make something called 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: brass monkeys, where you take a really cheap forty of 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: some type of you know, really cheap beer, drink it 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: down to the label and fill the rest of the 40 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: orange juice, and uh, they call that a brass monkey. 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: And that was pretty good, I guess. But you had 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: lots of interesting beverage choices for the adults in the audience. Otherwise, 43 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: I recommend a coke or a pepsi with a lime wedge. 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: That's that's a good one as well. Maybe maybe a 45 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: nice ice water. Ice water is delectable. I'm a big 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: fan of ice water. There was a period of my 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: time I had an injury and I couldn't drink alcohol 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: because of the medication that I was on, so I 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: would go to the bar and order slipping slides. And 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: that's just basically water on the rocks. It's a a 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: way to say it. Though. It made me seem cool, right, 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: or at least you thought you sounded cool exactly, and 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: that sounds like, oh Jesus, this guy asking for slipping slides. 54 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, I wanted to do something. Here's Dan. 55 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: It's a little different than usual. You know, we don't 56 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: have a guest on the show, and I thought we'd 57 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: kind of keep it super casual today. Um, it's middle August. 58 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: I think you and definitely I were getting super itchy 59 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: about the deer season. It's coming up soon. I'm ready 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: to go. Um. Lots of stuff has been happening recently 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: in the woods where we're getting ready. I've been doing 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of things. Just came off of a trip 63 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: down to Ohio, and I just wanted to talk about, 64 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, where we're at leading up to this season 65 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: and kind of you know, what we're hoping to get 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: out of the season. What are what are our goals 67 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: for the two thousand and fourteen season, what are hopes 68 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: and dreams? You know, what are the deer we're chasing. 69 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: I kind of want to talk about all those things 70 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: because I think that is one of the best things 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: about deer hunting is this period before the season, everything 72 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: leading up to this season, all this hope. I think 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: all of us we're just like, I don't know, I'm 74 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: just like about to burst with anticipation. I'm just I'm 75 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: jacked to the brim. Um, And that's really cool thing. 76 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: So I thought we'd kind of tap into that today. 77 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: Let's talk about all the crazy things that we're excited about, 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: the things we're dreaming about night, the stuff that we 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: wake up about in the morning thinking about. Um, that's 80 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: kind of what I want to want to chat about. 81 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, does that sound like a good idea 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: to you or that sounds like a great idea but 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the reins for a second, and I 84 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: want to I wanna start with your Ohio trip because 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I saw some pictures on Facebook and on the Wired 86 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: to Hunt website of some some straight up slobs and 87 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit jealous. So I want you to 88 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: talk about that right now. Yeah, and UM, I'm all 89 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: for talking about that, and it ties them perfectly to 90 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: this whole topic to um talking about, you know, what 91 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: we're hoping for in our goals and everything. Because this weekend, 92 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: my hopes and dreams and goals for the two thousand 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: and fourteen season literally exploded. They changed completely, um. And 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: that's because of what we saw down there. And it's 95 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: also taking a quick step back. It is awesome to 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: hear you say that you are jealous of something in 97 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: my hunting life. You don't hear that often from a 98 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: guy living in Iowa. So of that stud, Oh my god, 99 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: he's a he's a giant dude. He's insane, I know it. Um. Yeah. 100 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: So I myself and my buddy Josh, who's a member 101 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: of the Wired Hunt team filming for us every year, 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: and another friend Corey headed down to southern Ohio, UM 103 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: where We've been hunting for four years now, I think 104 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: four years now, but the last two years we finally 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: decided to invest in a lease and it's really paid off. 106 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: We've gotten a really really good area, excuse me. And 107 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: we went down there this weekend to do some final 108 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: preparations for the season. Um. We went down there in 109 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: May for Turkey hunting, put up a trail camera, just 110 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: a couple of stand sites, and I figured I'd be back, 111 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: um probably once a month leading up till now. But 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: I actually haven't been able to come back until this 113 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: past weekend. So that camera had been running for three 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: months and I was worried. I couldn't remember what size 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: SD card I put in there. I thought, yeah, maybe 116 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: we got a month or two pictures, but it probably 117 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: filled up. So I wasn't really going into with high expectations. 118 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: I just thought we'd go down there, you know, putting 119 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: you betters in the camera, UM, check whatever's on there, 120 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: do some driving around that night, hopefully see a deer 121 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: or two, and put us some new stands. But again 122 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: I didn't have too high expectations. But we got down 123 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: there and uh, I don't know how to say. It 124 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: just blew my mind. We pulled the camera and it 125 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: was taking pictures all the way until the day we 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: got there. So right when I saw that, I saw 127 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: the last picture was like my goofy mugs staring into 128 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: the trail camera. I was like stoked, was so glad, 129 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: and we started clicking through those pictures and instantly, like 130 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: the first clear picture we saw was a shooter buck, 131 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: and then another shooter buck and another. It was just stupid. 132 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: We got I believe nine different pope and young caliber 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: bucks on trail cam, and I believe my numbers are right. 134 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Five of those are one forty plus bucks. Well I 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: think there's two one forties. There's two they're right really 136 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: close right, and then one sixty area I believe, and 137 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: then there's one that's legitimate Boone and Crockett. We're guessing 138 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: one eighty something. The Junkyard buck you're talking about, that 139 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: is Junkyard. He's got some junk off his base. Man, 140 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: that's pretty sweet. He's awesome. Yeah. Junkyard looks like at 141 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: least four and a half, probably five and a half 142 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: or something, big mature dear, but just a mega wide, 143 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: huge frame. Um, he's got triple brows on one side. 144 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Split brow on the other, UM junk like crazy, like 145 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: you said, coming out of the bases, just a mega 146 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: stud stink pig, swamp donkey monster history with him. He's 147 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: brand new. He just showed up. We've never seen him. 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: Last last year we saw deer across the road from 149 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: our lease. UM, two nights during the rut as we're 150 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: as we're leaving that lease, we were kind of as 151 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: we turned our truck, you could spot into this field 152 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: and twice, two out of three nights in a row, 153 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: UM giant buck. We called him pick up fence and 154 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: he kind of looked like this deer, but we don't 155 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: think it's him. UM. I think his frame was a 156 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: little bit different. He was a main frame twelve and 157 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: this deer is a main frame ten, I believe. So 158 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a new deer. But he's been showing 159 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: up on camera all the way from May till now 160 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: pretty consistently, so he's around UM. And then the next 161 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: two deer on the hit list are bucks that I 162 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: do have history with. UM. And then I guess, you know, 163 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: we're kind of diving rerendous. It was we're talking about 164 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: my goals, you know, part of my goals for this 165 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: season are to you know, kill a deer of a 166 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: certain and caliber or specific deer. And so in Ohio 167 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: when I'm looking at my goals, you know, my goals 168 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: this year for Ohio tangible goals, there's a whole lot 169 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: of different goals and we can talk about some of 170 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: the different things, but one of them is to kill 171 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: a certain age buck. And I'm trying to set higher 172 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: goals for myself from a um quality of bucks. So 173 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: for me, I want to kill at the very least 174 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: of three and a half year old. I'm really probably 175 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: shooting for a four and a half year old buck 176 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: in Ohio this year. And originally coming into this year, 177 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought I want to kill something high one thirties 178 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: or higher when it comes to the quality of deer 179 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: down there, given what I've killed so far, that I 180 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: thought was a reasonable goal. But now seeing what's on camera, 181 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: kind of adjusting things again because I set those goals 182 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: based on you know, what I think is uh the challenge. 183 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking for a little bit of what's attainable and 184 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: then what's that challenge and how how much do I 185 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: want to push myself? And with these two bucks that 186 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: have history with really these are the two deer I want. 187 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: Um when one of them is Jawbreaker and he is 188 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: at at a minimum six and a half years old. 189 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: He is the biggest bodied buck I've ever seen in 190 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: my life. Um, he's the buck if if anyone had 191 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: seen our films last year. We had my first trip 192 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: down to this lease last year, my first trip during 193 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: hunting season at least. I had set up an observation 194 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: stand on the edge of a being field looking down 195 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the small finger of beans and across this wider field 196 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: just to again. It was the first time we'd ever 197 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: hunted it, so I just wanted to get an idea 198 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: of how deer we're using this, how they're moving, how 199 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: are they coming out to feed. Wasn't really expecting anything 200 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: but that that first night this giant buck came out. 201 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: At that point we estimate he was a five and 202 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: a half year old. He was probably in the one fifties, 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: but just a really tall, massive, thick framed buck as 204 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: a nine pointer, um pretty much an eight just a 205 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: really small G four on one side, but just a stud. 206 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: So I watched him like an hour and a half 207 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: that night, and he came into like sixty eight yards 208 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: but never quite closed the distance to night, never got shot, 209 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: but it was just such a cool encounter. He just 210 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: stuck with me all season, and then I didn't see 211 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: him again until November. I think I actually rattled him 212 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: in um there and in bow season he got again 213 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: to about sixty five yards and then stopped at the 214 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: edge of this field. I was inside the timber little 215 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: ways and he wouldn't coming closer um. And then I 216 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: saw him again like two or three weeks later during 217 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: the Ohio gun season down there. So I had three 218 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: really good encounters with him. I didn't think that he 219 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: made it for whatever reason you after that point never 220 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: saw or heard of him again. I said a feeling 221 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: that you know, someone was gonna kill him, but unbelievably 222 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: he's there again. And now he's I mean you saw 223 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: the pictures. He's just got a body like a like 224 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: a bull or I don't know. Someone left a comment 225 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: said something, you know that doesn't look like a deer 226 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: you had there. I think you've got an antlered horse 227 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: running around your property. Well, and all the characteristics there 228 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: for are there for a mature deer. I mean you're 229 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: looking at his neck, I mean it's saggy, in the front. 230 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: He's got the sunken shoulder blades, his hind quarters are 231 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: really thick him. He has got a gut on him 232 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: like you wouldn't believe. So, I mean, so he's he 233 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: is mature for sure. Yeah, he's He's probably the most matured. 234 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: He is the most mature deer. I think I've ever 235 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: had um consistently on camera. He's he's just a giant. 236 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: And I think given that history, plus how old he is, 237 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: plus it's just what he looks like. He's at the 238 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: top of my hit list. I think, even though Junkyard 239 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: scores better, just a massive giant deer too. Um. I 240 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I think if the two of them were 241 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: standing right in front of me at thirty yards at Broadside, 242 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: I probably sent an arrow draw breaker just because of 243 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: because of all those different things. And I mean his 244 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: rack isn't shabby too, That's that's not everything. But he's 245 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: got I don't know, somewhere probably one sixty class antlers 246 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: on his head. He's he's just stud Yeah, just by 247 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: looking at I'm looking at the pictures of him right 248 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: now that the you know, from a body standpoint, uh, 249 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: jaw breaker is the most mature deer you have on 250 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: this blog post um. And then that jawbreaker buck or 251 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: excuse me, Junkyard. Yeah, his rack is very impressive, but 252 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: he is not I think he might even be two 253 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: years younger than than the jawbreaker buck because he has 254 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: his his stomach, he's got a flatter a flatter shoulders, 255 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: flatter stomach line. Um, his neck doesn't look to be 256 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: as saggy, and his hindquarters are on his stick, so 257 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, don't be surprised. You know, obviously you're probably 258 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: not gonna pass Junkyard from an eight um. You know, 259 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: you're not making your um your decision based on age. 260 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: But this junkyard buck has the potential, in my opinion, 261 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: to be you know, that potentially two class dear someday. Yeah, 262 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: I agree. If I had to guess on his age 263 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: right now, I probably guess him at four and a 264 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: half four or five for sure, And I think, like 265 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: you said, he really could take another step or two up. 266 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: But but yeah, like you said, if he does show 267 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: up in from me, I probably can't. Um. But yeah, too, 268 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: awesome bucks right there. And then the third buck, the 269 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: third best buck that was on that farm was another deer. 270 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of history with that. Um. I'm 271 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: sure many of our listeners I have seen before. It 272 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: is a buck we called Glenn, and um, I got 273 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: a shot at him last year. I don't know if 274 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: you saw that. You probably saw that film Dan where 275 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: I I took a shot at this buck during that 276 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: blizzard in December last year with my muzzleloader. Yeah. Yeah, 277 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: and I missed him, and I took another shot, and 278 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm I missed again. Um. So it's a really really bad, 279 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: a really bad day for me. You left a sour, 280 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: very sour taste in my mouth, I guess, is the 281 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: the best way to say it. So you know that 282 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: you know this podcast is being recorded, right I do? 283 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: I do? You admit one? Miss is okay? But the 284 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: set as you don't ever admit that. Man, I know 285 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: I shouldn't, but it's already out there. It's on it's 286 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: on film. I guess. If if there's anything that can 287 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: be said about Weird Hunt, it's that we we put 288 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: it all out there. And I am very, very far 289 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: from any kind of expert. I'm just a learner. I'm 290 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: trying to learn, and I guess I share my failures 291 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: and my occasional successes along the way, and and that 292 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: was definitely a failure, a big one. Um, it is 293 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: part of it. So I learned something from that, and 294 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: now maybe it's all going to be one of those 295 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: things where hopefully I'll say, hey, it was meant to be. 296 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: Because now he's back, he's a stud of a ten 297 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: point I mean a mega ten point, perfect typical. Again, 298 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: he might be pushing one sixties somewhere around there. We 299 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: we did a bunch of you know, measuring out, guestimating 300 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: what all these times and his different measurements were, and 301 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: we put him somewhere in the sixties. Um, he's four 302 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: and a half for sure, because last year we're close 303 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: to shore. We're pretty sure it was the three and 304 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Aviel last year and he was right around a high 305 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: one twenties to be at eight point or last year, 306 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: and now he's jumped up to right around that one 307 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: six mark as a ten and I mean just in general, awesome, dear. 308 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: I you know, missed him that one night. I had 309 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: I think three other encounters with him during the season, 310 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: so a lot of history with him. Um, I have 311 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: a shed that might be his. I mean, it looks 312 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: exactly like his. I mean it is it should be 313 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: his shed, except for it looks old. It looks like 314 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: it was in the year before. But I put it 315 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: up to his pictures. I mean it's his antler. So 316 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: I still don't know if there's some way that this 317 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: shed just aged crazy or um, if it's from maybe 318 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, a deer he was related to, but I 319 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: don't know. He's very cool. There are lots of history 320 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: would love to see him, um. And those are the 321 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: three that I'm really excited about. And then there's another, 322 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: like I said, another five bucks that you know, all 323 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: would be shooters for most people. Another two bucks that 324 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: are in the one forties as a buck m that 325 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: has a him reframed a job breaker, Um, but it's 326 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: probably in the one forties and we're calling him j J. 327 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Job Breaker Jr. He looks young, probably three and a half, 328 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: but nice, nice set of antlers on him. Another big 329 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: eight pointer and then uh, a slew of random kind 330 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: of tens and eights that had a lot of potential 331 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: but just three and a half. So I don't know. 332 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the best trial camera pull ever had 333 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: one you know, one card, all those deer and uh, gosh, 334 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: we came out of that just about excited a couple 335 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: of schoolgirls on the first day of school. That's the fact, Jack. 336 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: It was great and and I've been jabbing here for 337 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: too long. But we also then went driving around that 338 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: night in the surrounding area and we saw ten more 339 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: pope and young bucks, including two booners. Um. So it 340 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: was just stupid. It was awesome. And not to mention, 341 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: it was my birthday and it was the best big 342 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: buck birthday I've ever had in my life. So it 343 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: was awesome. So that that last picture on the blog 344 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: of that velvet ten in the bean field staring at yeah, 345 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: was that the Is that that same buck from the 346 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: truck cameras? That is not one we have on camera. 347 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: That was one that we just saw in a field 348 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: down the road a little bit um, but we saw 349 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: from where this property is. We had two different booners 350 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: that were within about a mile and a half of 351 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: that property that we saw that night. Plus then that 352 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: you know junk yard buck, which is you know, I 353 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: think boone and Crocket, And then there's just a lot 354 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: of good deer in the area southern Ohio. It's a 355 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: it's a great place to be. They have all all 356 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: the fixings you need, all the pieces to produce really 357 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: great deer, and I'm just fortunate to uh to find 358 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: a spot down there. Yeah, it looks like you're gonna 359 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: be in them thick this year. Hopefully everything works out. Yeah, 360 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: thank you. I hope so too. I'm I've got high hopes, 361 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: very high hopes. But but I guess I feel like 362 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of hogging the spotlight here. I'm curious about 363 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: for you, Dan. I mean, we've just kind of talked about. 364 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: For me, one piece of my goals for this season, 365 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: only one part of it and my whole season and 366 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: doesn't live or died just based on whether I kill 367 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: one of these specific big deer. But that's a piece 368 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: of it for you. If you're looking at you know 369 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: that part of your goals, What deer or what kel 370 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: or deer are you shooting for? What would you need 371 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: or what are you hoping to take to make this 372 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: year a success? Well, this year is a little bit 373 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: different than most years, all right. So four years ago 374 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: I met a guy when I was filming for a 375 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: different hunting company, um and he offered to film me. 376 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: So I said, I made an agreement with him. I said, 377 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: my good friend Ryan Iberg, and I said, you know, 378 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: you feel me until you draw an Iowa tag, and 379 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: then I will let you hunt any of the properties 380 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: that I can hunt. And he's from Missouri and the area. 381 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: He doesn't have access to a lot of good hunting 382 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: land and he's a white tiled enthusiasts just like we 383 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: all are. So this year he's drawn. So my focus 384 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: this year is to try to get him a deer um. 385 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: And you know he's coming, He's coming down opening weekend 386 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: and I'll film him opening weekend and um, he'll come down, 387 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: um the first two weeks of November, and I'm basically 388 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: giving up my rut to film him, which that was 389 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: the agreement, and that that's I mean, he's helped me 390 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: out tremendously over the past four years and now it's 391 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: his turn. You know, it's time for me to return 392 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: the favor. And you know, actually this weekend we're going 393 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: out for a final card pool before I you know, 394 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: I transition my trail cameras off mineral to travel corridors 395 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: and other food sources. But um, yeah, I got a 396 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: mini hit list put together. One of the deer is 397 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: Actually one of the bucks is actually named Ryan Iberg 398 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: because Ryan I invited Ryan up for a shed hunt 399 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: one week end and he found two matching sets of 400 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: the same deer on the same day. So yeah, so 401 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: he found his two year old rack, found his three 402 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: year old rack, his four year old rack. We never 403 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: found five year old rack. Um, he never found. But uh, 404 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: but he's not near as big as he was last year, 405 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: as as wide, I should say, but he is one 406 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: of the biggest bodied deer I have ever ever seen. 407 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: There's a good chance this bucket weighs three plus on 408 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: the huff Man. What do you think? What do you 409 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: think is aged abt? I'm guessing somewhere around the six 410 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: and a half. Actually, I'm gonna tell you he's a 411 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: six and a half year old um, just because I have, 412 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: you know, several years of trail cameras, um, several years 413 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: of trail camera pictures of him. We have his sheds, 414 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: So he's a pretty well dot minute deer. Um. The 415 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: only problem with him is he'll stick around until the 416 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the first couple of weeks 417 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: of October, and then he disappears and he'll come back 418 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: into the area after the rots over. So I don't 419 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: know he's he's he's an enigma. I don't know what. 420 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: I don't know where he goes. I only have access 421 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: to so much property, and you know, driving around, scouting 422 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: and all that stuff really doesn't work when the main 423 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: food food source is in the timber, the acorns, the greens, 424 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: that's what some of these deer are eaten. Um. You know, 425 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: they do travel to the bean fields and the corn fields, 426 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: but this buck seems to be he's he's there all 427 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: summer long and then come October after he should you know, 428 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: maybe he sheds the velvet, sticks around for a couple 429 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: more weeks and then he and then he's on. But 430 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: I did I did have an encounter with him last 431 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: at the very first night I hunted last season, like 432 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: October four. And uh, if you see this dear sideways, 433 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't look like much. But if you see him 434 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: head on, he's an airplane coming through the woods man. 435 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: What do you think he what do you think he 436 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: scores that this year? He's he's not he's not a 437 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: deer for numbers, but he'll be somewhere around the one 438 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: he's this year is an eight pointer. So he'll be 439 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: around the one forty he's got probably if I had 440 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: to guess, twenty two plus inside spread um one forty one, yeah, 441 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: forty five. Maybe I don't think he's gonna be too big. 442 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, a hundred eight pointer h 443 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: that's nothing to snuff at. I mean, that's a nice, 444 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: nice eight point buck. What makes him a trophy in 445 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: my eyes is that his age class first of all, 446 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: and second is his um is the history would have 447 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: with him, you know, it's it's named after my friend 448 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Iberd, who I hope either he kills himself or 449 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: or I kill him, right, the deer and the deer, 450 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: not the human. But but we have tons of trail 451 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: camera pictures of him from over the years. We have UM. 452 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I've had one encounter with him and you know we 453 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: found sheds, So you know what, what better story? Yeah, 454 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: that's a That is the coolest thing I think for 455 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: me over the last like five years, as I've taken 456 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: this whole, you know, my my passion for deer hunting 457 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: to a new level. And with trail cameras today and 458 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, with filming deer that a lot of us do, 459 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: it allows you to build these to get to know 460 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: the specific deer, learn these deer, and and build that 461 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: storyline in that history that I don't know. For me, 462 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: that just makes it so cool. I mean, if I 463 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: think you know almost any circumstance, if you said, okay, 464 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: I'll put a random giant in front of your tree stand, 465 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: and then I'll put a smaller deer that you have 466 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: several years of history with, which would you shoot, I'm 467 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: always going to go for that dear he had the 468 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: history with, because for me, it's not about how big 469 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: a deer it is. I mean, of course it's some 470 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: of the things that they matter to a degree, but 471 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 1: in the end, it's not what matters most for me. 472 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: It's it's the challenge. It's all the work that went 473 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: into it's all the memories, it's all the different pieces 474 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: of the puzzle that led to a single point of success. 475 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: And with this deer that you have this longer term 476 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: history with, you know, like the deer I killed this 477 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: December with three years of all these different things that 478 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: leap to that point, Gosh, it it just meant the world. 479 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: It's a it's an incredible feeling and journey. And I 480 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: think now with you know, with the ability to build 481 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: that history with a deer. It is just the coolest thing. 482 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: For the rest of my life, I'm pretty sure I'm 483 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: gonna really gonna be going to continue to be focusing 484 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: on hunting these deer, specific deer, hunting the specific deer 485 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: that I've gotten to know and built a history with, 486 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: and then targeting that specific deer.

But yeah, um, 551 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: so this time I'm here. If you can hear me 552 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: rubbing my hands together like evil villain, and I can 553 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: see the look on your face to that smartass smirk. 554 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: But yeah, other than him, you know, as far as 555 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: the hit list is concerned, I got another he looks 556 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be a ten um and then a 557 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: bucket called Billy Ripkin. I hadn't encounter with him last year. Um, 558 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: Billy Ripkin has an otherwise, No, he has another name 559 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: called um. I won't swear on the show, but it's 560 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: starts with an F and it's Billy Ripkin F face. 561 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: And for those of you guys who have collected baseball 562 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: cards and the like, the late eighties early nineties, um 563 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: Cal Ripkins son Billy Ripkin, I believe had was a 564 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles and on the end 565 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: of his bat he had a smiley face with the 566 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: term f face on it and it didn't get edited 567 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: and all of these baseball cards got distributed. So there's 568 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: the backstory here. I was, you know, with an eleven 569 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: as maybe eleven year old with profanity on a baseball card, 570 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 1: and I thought it was like one of the coolest things. 571 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: That's a pretty funny story the back store. That's pretty good. Yeah, 572 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: So there's that, there's that. How big is he? You know? 573 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: Last year he was probably one sixty as this this 574 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: is a deer that was was actually probably a three 575 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: or four year old last year in the one sixties. 576 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: He this dear is a genetics like genetic specimen. He's 577 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: got the inside points. He's got the last year he 578 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: had the double main beams. He's gonna be wide or 579 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: not double main beams, or like a kicker coming off 580 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: the inside of his main beams. He had um some 581 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: splits as well. So from a genetic standpoint, he's awesome. 582 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: This year. Honestly, it looks like he's gonna be wider, 583 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more mass and I it's hard 584 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: to tell because my last picture of him is on 585 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: July six, so he's only half your own.

You know at the first 611 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: the first thing I kind of look at is not 612 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: about um. You know that that has something to do 613 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: with it. The deer has to catch catch my attention. 614 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: And that's the whole point of putting together a hit list. 615 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: So first off, you know what deer in your area. 616 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: You can judge them saying yes, I'm either going to 617 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: hold out for this one or um, he's not old 618 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: enough yet, you know. Um. But it's not about necessarily 619 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: to kill, like I said, it's watching these dear grow 620 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: to try to to try to reach their um their potential. 621 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: You know, I have guys tell me all the time, dude, 622 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: you're crazy.

Unfortunately I haven't had 626 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: to kill you know, I haven't had an opportunity to 627 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: kill some of them. But you know, for me, it's 628 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: having the encounters seeing the deer on the hoof, you know, 629 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: trying to trying to play that cat and mouse game 630 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: that we all play every year to try to get 631 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, in touch with or to get in contact 632 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: with these with these giants, and um, I don't know, 633 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's it's strange because you know, they 634 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: gotta for me, I don't want to shoot a young 635 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: deer for because in my area, I'm blessed to have 636 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: good genetics.

But you know, 640 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's kind of hard. It's kind of 641 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: hard to explain because I will shoot a deer that 642 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: is is a big, mature deer that I've never seen before. 643 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: It's not like I'm that's my only criteria.

I think 646 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: everyone's got a different answer to UM and I and 647 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: especially this year. You know, my my goal is to 648 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: try to set Ryan up to be successful. Um, but 649 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna definitely be able to hunt, you know, 650 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: if he tags out or if I have UM, if 651 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: he tags out, or if you know, something happens before 652 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: he comes on vacation, I'll be I'll be hunting as well. Um. 653 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: You know this year, I really do want to kill 654 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: a couple more doughs. Uh. Number one because I want 655 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: to fill my freezer. And number two, I just I 656 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: love hunting. Does you know? I don't know, there's something 657 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the kill itself, but just eating. For me, 658 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: it's like I eating this food is like I I 659 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: killed this animal myself. I didn't get it from a 660 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: grocery store. And then like watching my family eat it 661 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: or um, you know, friends eat it. It's kind of 662 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: cool like providing I don't know it's that's kind of 663 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: off topic, but but totally relate love love, being able 664 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: to provide love, having that connection with your food. UM, 665 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: that's huge. I'm right there with you. So yeah, I'm uh, 666 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm as excited for this season, even though 667 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: I know that I'm not going to be able to 668 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: hunt as much um as any other season because I 669 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: know I'll be spending time in a tree with a 670 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: good friend sharing uh, this sport that we love, and uh, 671 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, early season, I'm heading out 672 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: to Nebraska for um. You old your hunt. It was 673 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: something brand new I've never done before, expecting to fail, 674 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: but um, that's kind of what I'm looking forward to 675 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: right now. It's awesome. That is awesome. I think, Um, 676 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things you said made a lot of 677 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: sense to me too, and it resonated with me. Um. 678 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: I think this is something too that I want to 679 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: make sure that to all the listeners. This is something 680 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: that happens a lot. I think a lot of people 681 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, what's on TV or what they 682 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: see in the magazines, and they see everyone talking about 683 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: booners are shooting one eighties or two bucks? Are all 684 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: these different types of deer? People like us talking about 685 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: the fact that you've been seeing these great, big giant 686 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: deer and I've been seeing these great, big giant deer 687 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: and I'm holding out for certain things. And I think 688 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: so many people in the media talking about this can 689 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: send up sometimes a dangerous message to other hunters out 690 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: there and puts a pressure on people that I think 691 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: is is unnecessary and is unfortunate. And so I just 692 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: want to make a disclaimer here or mentioned the fact 693 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: that to all of you out there listening, you never 694 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: feel that what you want to shoot, or what you're 695 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: going to shoot or target or hunt for that shouldn't 696 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: be affected or influenced by what I'm hunting or dance hunting, 697 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: or what anyone on TV is doing. You know, you 698 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: need to find out what's right for you, what is 699 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: where you are in your journey as a hunter, and 700 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: your goals. You know, set those for yourself. Look inside 701 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: when you make those goals and those decisions. Don't worry 702 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 1: about what you see in magazines, don't worry about what 703 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: they say on TV um because unfortunate. That's that's I 704 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: think negatively influenced a lot of things in the hunting community. 705 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: And I'm as guilty as anyone in you know, promoting 706 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, some of those I've talked about big deer 707 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: all the time. We love big deer, and that's okay. 708 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: It's okay to target big deer. It's okay to get 709 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: excited about all that. I just want to make sure 710 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: that we're not pressuring people to do the same. Everyone's 711 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: going to be at a different step on the ladder. 712 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm a big, big believer in this idea of being 713 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: on the ladder when it comes to hunting, and you're 714 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: taking things one wrong at a time. And for me, 715 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm still relatively low on that ladder. I've come a 716 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: long ways, but I've still got a long ways to go, 717 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: and my goals will change accordingly. And for new hunters 718 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: out there, you know, be comfortable with the fact that 719 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: of where you are and and take one take it 720 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 1: one step at a time, I think is maybe the 721 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: the message I'm trying to share it here well. And 722 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: the thing about it even are even all of our 723 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: quote unquote professional hunters and guests that we've already had 724 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: on the podcast have admitted that the hunting industry, you're 725 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: only seeing the best of the best. They don't have 726 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: time to show failure. You know, if they want to 727 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: make all their sponsors happy, they get seventeen to eighteen 728 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: minutes of actual footage. You cannot put in an entire 729 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: season or even a four day trip into that amount 730 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: of time without leaving something out. These guys fail twice 731 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: as much as the regular hunters out there due because 732 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: they're you know, the best part about it is though 733 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: they have more time in the woods than us straight up, 734 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: so they're gonna you're gonna see more from them because 735 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: that is their job. They're filming hunts all day long, 736 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: every day during the hunting season, so they're exposed to 737 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: this more. It's, you know, simple statistics. If you're in 738 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: the woods more, you're gonna see more. Dear, if you're 739 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: at your job or sitting on your couch, you're not 740 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: going to see that. Yeah, so so only you me, 741 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: you the listeners have the ability to change that, you know, 742 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: just I I hate it when people complain. My biggest 743 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: the thing that pisces me off the most is, you know, 744 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,439 Speaker 1: you go to these trade shows like, you know, oh 745 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 1: that's a good buck, you know, what do you shoot 746 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: this year? And then they'll show me a one twenty 747 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: class and in my area class I'd passed. But that's me. 748 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: These guys are saying, well, if I didn't shoot this one, 749 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: my neighbor would have. I don't want to talk to 750 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: this guy ever again, because unless you learn from that, 751 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: you're not. I mean, I'm going off on a straight 752 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: tangent right now, but this this thing, this kind of 753 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: stuff makes me mad. You know, you can't change the 754 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: world if you about it. Yeah, yeah, I know that. 755 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: Like you said that as a tangents a whole another conversation, 756 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, that's okay, No, it's a good one, um. 757 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: And it's one of those things that for for some people, 758 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: there's the goal of killing the mature deer or every 759 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: year killing them bigger deer, or targeting a different deer 760 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: or a greater challenge every year, and for that person 761 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: to make an excuse like that that my neighbor is 762 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: going to shoot it. Well, as Leelakowski said in our podcast, 763 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: you know a couple months ago, if you're saying that, 764 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: you are that guy you're talking about. But but at 765 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: the same time, I want to make sure to be clear, 766 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 1: at least me personally, I'm not going to judge someone 767 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: if they hunt in Vermont and a chance that a 768 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: ten inch buck is a chance of a lifetime and 769 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: they're super stoked to kill that hunter eight pointer. Good 770 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: for you, Like that's awesome. Go for it. Do what 771 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: makes you happy. Um, Hunting is supposed to be fun. 772 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be connecting to nature, getting you know, 773 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: harvesting food, getting back into becoming a part of the 774 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: circle of life, and without getting too you know mostegui here. 775 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: No matter what the size of the deer is, that's 776 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: an important thing, and I want to, you know, make 777 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: sure to mention that and just to make because we 778 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: can sometimes get so focused on antlers and body size 779 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: and all that, and that's important, but it's part of it. 780 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: Well when it's getting it's hard not to when it's 781 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: getting crammed down your throat every day. And uh so, yeah, 782 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 1: that's There's a whole lot of different things going here. 783 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: And I think this is a good transition to the 784 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 1: second portion of what I want to talk about here, 785 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: because we spent this first half for three quarters of 786 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: our of our show here they're talking about the size 787 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: deer we want to shoot, the specific deer we want 788 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: to shoot, and like we said, that's important. But there 789 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: is another side of of what I'm hoping for and 790 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: dreaming of and what my goals are for the two 791 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen season, and they're just as important. But sometimes 792 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: in the media, this portion of it gets slit under 793 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: the table or not talked about it because it's not 794 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: as sexy, it's not as glossy, it's not your magazine 795 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: cover buck um. But it's some horton. So you know, 796 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: for me, there's a few things really high level that 797 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm hoping to accomplish this year. Um every year really, 798 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: and I'm curious to hear what you have to to 799 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: say too, damn, But I'll just throw out a couple 800 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: of things for me that are goals for two thousand fourteen. 801 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: You know, every year I go into a season, I 802 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: want to look at something I did poorly in the 803 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: year past and I want to change that into a 804 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: success in the future season um, or or something I've 805 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: learned that I was not doing quite right. I want 806 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: to take that lesson and apply to the new year. 807 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: So one of the things for me, for example, that 808 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: I want to get better at this season is how 809 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm using the wind. And this is one of those 810 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: things where, um, I'm not gonna dive too deep into it, 811 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: but I've always been really focused on making sure the 812 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: wind is in my favor, and I want to do 813 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: a better job this season. Of making sure I'm hunting 814 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: deer with the wind in their favor at least they think, 815 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: but me being right on that edge where I can 816 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: just get way with it. But because I it's it's 817 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: it's not I think I know that that is a 818 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: proven way to kill big, mature deer because they are 819 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 1: going to want that when in their favor more often 820 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: than not. So if I can find ways to make 821 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: them think they have in their favor but still somehow 822 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 1: get away with it, I'm going to have more success. 823 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: So that's something I'm really gonna be thinking a lot 824 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 1: about this year when I'm planning and where I'm hunting, 825 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: when I'm hunting, why I'm hunting that wind. I want 826 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: to apply this lesson learned, and I want to have 827 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 1: some success with that in two thousand and fourteen. Another 828 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 1: thing I want to do every year is I want 829 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: I want to see tangible evidence of the fact that 830 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: all these different because there's many different lessons I've learned, 831 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: I want to see tangible evidence that I am applying 832 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: those correctly. So the evidence I'm looking for is I'm 833 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: looking for more encounters with maturityer, the type of deer 834 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm targeting, and then I of course would like to 835 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: see hopefully a kill or too um this season as 836 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,479 Speaker 1: well as again that would be evidence of the fact 837 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 1: that all this work I've done, all these lessons learned, 838 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: are coming to fruition and are paying off. So there's 839 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 1: a couple of things I'm gonna be looking for as well. 840 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: And then of course I want to learn. I want 841 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: to enjoy myself. I want to spend time with friends 842 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: and family. I want to I want to find some 843 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: ways to spend some time more time with my dad 844 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: this season. Um, Given how you know, seriously I am 845 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: about deer hunting. Sometimes I get so obsessed with going 846 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: to this state or that state or hunting my best 847 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: spots all the time that I'm not getting to spend 848 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,439 Speaker 1: as much time back with the family. And that's really 849 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: where it all started from me. Um. So that's something 850 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: I want to do more of this season. Um. And 851 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 1: then the final thing with you know, I'll stop my 852 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 1: ranting here when it comes for goals for me relates 853 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: to everything we've just talked about, and it's that pressure, 854 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: and I want to try to not get so affected, 855 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: not be so affected by that pressure, the pressure to 856 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: kill a certain caliber deer, the pressure to kill a 857 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: deer at all. Um. These are certain pressures that I 858 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: put on myself. These are pressures that maybe any one 859 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: of us might feel because of our peers, or because 860 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 1: of our positions, or because of anything. There's any times, 861 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 1: pressure to succeed or kill or get a big buck, 862 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and it has impacted me negatively in 863 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and I've had to battle through that, 864 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: try and stay positive, trying to not get down on myself, 865 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: trying to This is supposed to be fun. This is 866 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be This is what I enjoy the most, 867 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: and I don't want any of this other stuff, these pressures, 868 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: to ever change that. And so I'm going to make 869 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: I've made a concerted effort the past, you know, last 870 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: win or two, but this year, I really want to 871 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: make sure that I don't get overly concerned about the 872 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: tangibles like a kill, or like a certain deer or 873 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: anything like that, because those are important and I'm excited 874 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: about that. It's a challenge, but it's not everything, and 875 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: you've got to have fun out there, and that's what 876 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: it woils down to. I mean, I don't know, it's 877 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: all about fun and you know, there's different levels of 878 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: fun that like we've talked about, But that's kind of 879 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 1: the kind of all what it boils down to. Yeah. 880 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: So uh so that's my kind of my fluffier goals 881 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: for the season. But but I think equally important to 882 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: everything else we talked about. But but what about you, Dan? 883 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: Are you in the same page with me on some 884 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: of those things? Are there other things that I missed 885 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: or what for you will help make this season of success. Well, 886 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: I'm kind of a loaner when it comes to my family. Um, 887 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: they only I have relatives who hunt, but they don't 888 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: live next to me. Um. I really like being out 889 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: by myself. I'm not gonna lie. Um. Yes, I love sharing, 890 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 1: um sharing the footage. And you know I filmed myself 891 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: when I don't have a cameraman. And this year my 892 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: focus is going to be on Ryan. Um. But for 893 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: some there's something about my job and cell phones and 894 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: TVs and all these things that I feel at times 895 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: I'm I'm away from nature, you know, basically unplugging, and 896 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: that's what the outdoors and hunting for me. It is 897 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 1: a get way. I love not having cell phone service. Um, 898 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: I love not being able to. You know, I hate 899 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 1: to say it, but I love being in a situation 900 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: where if there was an emergency, nobody but myself could 901 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: help me, if that makes sense. And even if it's 902 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: being three or four yards away from your truck, you know, 903 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: just sitting down and you know, um, Jim Shocky kind 904 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 1: of put it best last week, where you throw that 905 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: rock in the pond and you see the ripples. That's 906 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: kind of life. Your life is chaos and and disorder. 907 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 1: You get into nature, you sit in that tree stand 908 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: or you're in your blind or whatever you're doing fishing, 909 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, fishing, turkey hunting, and you just kind of 910 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 1: disconnect and absorb. And that's my favorite part of hunting. 911 00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,399 Speaker 1: It's I mean really it's not even about hunting. It's 912 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,839 Speaker 1: just being outside. And that is what my favorite thing 913 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: is about hunting, which allows me to do that, you know, 914 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 1: other the other goals, you know, like I said, getting 915 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, getting Ryan his deer. Um. You know, I 916 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 1: would love to get a dear too. I want to 917 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: kill a couple of does for food, meeting the freezer 918 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: type of situation, um, you know, enjoying the outdoors. I 919 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 1: want to see if the new strategy that I've come 920 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: up with on a certain particular spot or spots is 921 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 1: going to pay off. You know, coming in from a 922 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,280 Speaker 1: different access point, UM, hunting a different wind at a 923 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: at the same location, you know, a past location. UM 924 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: seeing if you know my I guess my experiments, because 925 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it is. You know, you fail, 926 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: You've got to go back to the drawing board, and 927 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: going back to the drawing board and trying these new experiments, 928 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: UM at some of these different locations. See if they 929 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: pay off. See if some of the work I've done 930 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,760 Speaker 1: preseason hanging these stands in these new locations is gonna. 931 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:11,479 Speaker 1: UM is gonna you know, provide an encounter or even 932 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: a kill. And and like you said, man, just having fun. 933 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I just got really excited, Like 934 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: you explaining what your goals are and me explaining what 935 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 1: my goals are. I just got super pumped about this 936 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: upcoming season. And uh, you know, I got I got 937 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,399 Speaker 1: pictures of my deer up in front of me from 938 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: previous years and from this year. And you know, don't 939 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, Giant bucks are awesome. That that's 940 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 1: why we do what we what we're doing. That's why 941 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: this podcast really exists and and why we go out 942 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: in the hunt is that one hope that we have 943 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: a gigantic buck walk through and we kill it mountain 944 00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: hanging on our wall. And if you can get all 945 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,359 Speaker 1: and if you can slow down and get all that 946 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: other stuff while pursuing your goal, you know, that's that's 947 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: even better. Yeah, And I would I would say at 948 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: the same time, if your only goal is to get 949 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: that gigantic buck and you don't allow yourself to join 950 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 1: those all the other times, then it's all for not 951 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: as well. I I my opinion would would be, why 952 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: are you hunting? If you're hunting just for antlers? Antlers, that's, 953 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: in my opinion, that's a waste of the life of 954 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: an animal. Agree. And it's that's the tricky balance that 955 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 1: I feel like I personally feel like I'm trying to 956 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: walk because it's so easy. Like you said, big bucks 957 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: are awesome. We love talking about them, we like strategizing 958 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: how to kill them. Um, we dream about them, and 959 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 1: that's okay, UM, But just as important to remember that 960 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: it's very important to remember there's a whole lot more 961 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: going on here. There's a whole lot more trying to 962 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 1: achieve and like you said, to just boil it down 963 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: to just that deer. You know, a set of antlers 964 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: is taking something away from the hunt, is taking away 965 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: something from the deer. It's taking away something from yourself. 966 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: And we all, whether it be all of our listeners, 967 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: you me, everyone in the hunting media, we all need 968 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: to make sure we keep that top of mind through 969 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: everything we do. Um. It's tough to do, but it's 970 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,439 Speaker 1: something we need to remember because that's important, right right, 971 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: And it's a learning experience. Yeah, you know, it's I get, 972 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, And I'm gonna use my stepdad as an 973 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: example here. He is if it's brown, it's down type 974 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: of hunter, okay, and he he tries to Um, let's see, 975 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: his main goal is to share time with his sons 976 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 1: and to share you know, stories and experiences with myself 977 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: and his sons. Um, that's what he loves about the outdoors. 978 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 1: He's not you know, in a way, I'm jealous of 979 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 1: him because he's not influenced by you know, age structure, 980 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: he's not influenced by rack size, He's not. He's out there. 981 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 1: He's almost more of a hunter than I am. In 982 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 1: a way, when you think about it, because he is 983 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: out there to hunt and have a and enjoy time 984 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 1: with his family, and you know, in a way, I'm 985 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: a little bit jealous of him. Yeah, I think there's 986 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: there's something we said about that. And what another thing 987 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 1: made me think of was the fact that these goals 988 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,959 Speaker 1: that we have, they evolve over time exactly. I think 989 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 1: that there is a I've heard people talk about tradic 990 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,399 Speaker 1: a typical kind of pattern that most hunters go through. Um. 991 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,839 Speaker 1: And there's like that first stage where you just want 992 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 1: to kill your first dear, and then you get to 993 00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: the next stage where we want to kill a lot 994 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: of deer, and then you get to the next stage 995 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: maybe with some people, where they want to kill bigger deer, 996 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: and then you know one specific deer, and then there's 997 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 1: a transition that I think a lot of people. I 998 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 1: saw my grandpa go through this where he went into 999 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: this phase where he moved on to he wants to 1000 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: help his son kill a deer, wants to help his 1001 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: grandkids kill it. Here he just wants to spend time 1002 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: with family. He just wants to see dear or help dear. Um. 1003 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool that transition and probably to 1004 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 1: two differing degrees. We'll all go through some type of 1005 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,320 Speaker 1: evolution as a hunter and what we are looking to 1006 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: get from it and what it means to us, and 1007 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: and that's pretty neat, and I think it's uh, I 1008 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: think it's too. I think it's important to respect everyone 1009 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 1: in the different place they might be at on that path. 1010 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,799 Speaker 1: So yeah, man, like you said though a couple minutes ago, 1011 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: I am just jacked talking to all about that. I'm 1012 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: just uh, like last week or a couple of days ago, 1013 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,720 Speaker 1: I woke up and it was like forty four degrees 1014 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: in the morning. Yeah, and I just it's exactly. I 1015 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 1: was just sitting I was like, I gotta get in 1016 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: the woods. That's time to go. I man, I'm pumped. 1017 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time keeping it together here because 1018 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: on twenty three days, twenty three days, I had to 1019 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: Idaho on my first hunt for the season, and that's 1020 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: for elk. And then I think it's something like thirty 1021 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 1: eight days from now or something thirty six I start 1022 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 1: hunting for white tails in Ohio and then four days later, 1023 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,280 Speaker 1: five days later something like that, it's in Michigan, maybe Indiana, 1024 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: and before you know, it's gonna be here. And stuff 1025 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: is gonna get real. So I can't wait counting. Oh, 1026 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: he's counting down. How many days you got? Damn? I 1027 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: got fifteen or sixteen days until I had to Nebraska 1028 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: for my meal. Your hunt, man, It's gonna be exciting. 1029 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,279 Speaker 1: But you know, kind of closing things up here. What 1030 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about for this hunting season, on top 1031 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 1: of everything we've talked about, is something that I want 1032 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: to do here with the podcast Dan, and that is 1033 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 1: that I want to use our weekly episodes here as 1034 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 1: we get going once a hunting season gets going, to 1035 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: really fill our listeners in on what's happening in the woods, 1036 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,280 Speaker 1: What are the current conditions, what are the patterns we're seeing, 1037 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: what are the stories and experiences and the I'm sure 1038 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,399 Speaker 1: the many failures that we have along the way too. 1039 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm pretty pumped to share our stories as we go 1040 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 1: week by weeks of this season, and uh, I think 1041 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 1: that should be pretty interesting, hopefully and helpful.
