Episode 57: Buck Pool Lightning Round · Outside TG

0:09
Hi, this is Charlie. This is Joe.
0:11
And this is Tanya. And this is the lightning round.
0:16
It's been 3 weeks, 4 weeks since we were last able to sit in a
0:20
room and there are a lot of deer to get through.
0:23
Yeah, it's almost like there's a there was a rut that happened.
0:28
What I was thinking yesterday as I was looking through a bunch of
0:30
them. Jeff, how was crazy?
0:32
How's your hunt been? I had off 2 weeks, that's why
0:36
there's such a delay in the podcast here for main reason
0:39
anyways and I didn't get anything.
0:41
I did get one with the truck. Nice six.
0:44
The biggest 6 pointer I've seen in a while.
0:47
I've got some meat out of it. I saw your truck, it's still
0:51
drivable. It's drivable during the day.
0:54
I did have a lot of action. I just, I had, I had one that I
0:57
think even with everything that's happened, I think I would
0:59
be in first if I would have got the damn thing.
1:00
I just couldn't get a shot on it.
1:02
It was really big, very exciting.
1:06
Definitely got the buck fever going because I can hardly walk,
1:09
crawl down my stand. After that.
1:11
He came in right at dark and I called him in and he was all
1:15
stiff legged and ears pinned back and all that, ready to
1:17
fight. Came in trash and everything and
1:19
they came behind up the one, pretty much the one spot I
1:22
didn't have a lane cleared, of course.
1:25
It was pretty much shooting time and I just sat there.
1:27
I sat in the stand till this is before daylight savings till
1:30
about 7:30, just because I didn't want to spook him out of
1:32
there or anything like that. And I just didn't hear him
1:34
crunch away with the leaves. 7:30 AM the next day, no.
1:37
No, that evening and I just slowly crawled down and walked
1:40
out and I ran a total opposite way to get home because I I
1:43
walked behind my house and I had my wife come pick me up just so
1:46
I had to walk through anything. And that's the last time I seen
1:50
it. And then I had just had another
1:51
big one the next day. Never going to get same
1:53
situation. Kind of.
1:55
Do you sort of feel like maybe it was all a dream?
1:58
Yeah, well, yeah, after the fact, I've been dreaming about
2:00
it, that's for sure. Nightmares.
2:02
So it was. It was very cool.
2:04
Like maybe it wasn't as good as I thought it was.
2:07
And no idea where this thing came from and didn't have him on
2:09
camera. I.
2:10
Feel like there's, oh, there's. Something There's a giant
2:13
lurking in the woods somewhere in Kewanee County.
2:17
There's actually a couple of them out there.
2:19
Just got to, we got to get them. If you are one of Jeff's
2:21
neighbors listening to this, Jeff calls dibs.
2:24
I think they all know there's big ones.
2:26
Around that one's Jeff's you. Know kind of like a it's not a
2:30
Buffalo County county that's for sure but it's there's some big
2:32
ones around there so. You got a week before the
2:37
maniacs with the rifle show up and.
2:39
No, I'm excited coming up. Awesome.
2:42
Well, we got a lot of deer to get through.
2:44
Should we just jump right into it?
2:45
We are winging it here today. Yeah, we have a website full of
2:49
deer, starting with Nicole Berna.
2:53
Yeah, Nicole Berna is one of our interns in the accounting
2:56
department and she's not in the buck pool, but she did share
2:58
this great story of her. And she's got a little video of
3:00
her. She was with her boyfriend and
3:02
her boyfriend at a nice like off in the distance type thing.
3:06
He was on the ground watching her do this.
3:07
It was kind of neat. That video was kind of grainy,
3:09
so I didn't put it on here, but very cool.
3:12
Very cool, Buck. That's a big deer.
3:15
Yeah, it is. So she was pretty excited.
3:18
So she shared her story. I thought that was kind of cool.
3:20
So she'll get in it next year. Hopefully she's around and she
3:24
got that in Athens, WI. She will be.
3:27
Where's Athens? That's March, Central state,
3:29
central part of the state, somewhere over there.
3:31
OK, I like, I think somewhere in the middle.
3:36
Somewhere out there, it's in Greece.
3:37
That's what I know about it. It's.
3:38
The start of the youth hunt here.
3:40
Yeah, she was. In Greece you have white
3:42
monster, white tails and grease. Bull hunting in.
3:44
Grease, yeah, it's during worldwide.
3:47
The Acropolis. Acropolis was in the background.
3:51
Yeah. Anyway, moving on.
3:55
Congrats, Nicole. So now we get into the youth
3:57
hunt and there was a ton of youth hunt entries.
4:00
This is Zach Zuberbeyer. Yeah, yeah.
4:05

4:08
Mike Paul's an account manager out of Rapids.
4:10
Cool little story. Nice Buck.
4:12
Congrats to Zach. Very much.
4:15
Yep, my little points there. Like I said, we got to make a
4:20
video thing so people can see what we're seeing.

Grandson does it say? Doesn't really say where it said
4:42
my, I can't remember where. I you probably got it up in the
4:46
Howard Swamiku area. I'm guessing.
4:48
I just. Friend of the breaking news,
4:52
Frank Ujodowski just sent me an e-mail saying Jeff, I just got a
4:55
buck, but we'll talk about that later.
4:57
Yeah. Considering he.
4:58
Just live. Oh, that's funny.
4:59
That is really funny, that is. A weird coincidence.
5:02
We're going to talk about Frank Ujodowski's dull that he got and
5:05
I just got an e-mail from Frank that he got a buck.
5:07
Well, that is that weird that's. Crazy.
5:10
Nice. Picture of him and his wife and
5:12
a dead dull. Yeah.
5:16
Well done, Frank. Yep.

5:27
Yeah, that's a cool buck, too. Rhett Snyder.
5:31
That is Kyle Schneider's son. He's a executive director of
5:34
manufacturing at Wrights down there.
5:36
His son Rhett got a nice buck. The youth hunt that.
5:41
Yeah, I think. Had to be a thrill for both of
5:43
them. I'd like that picture a lot.
5:44
Picture with them it. Is go check it out on outside
5:47
TG. Like they got a professional
5:50
photographer out. There like the beautiful sunset
5:52

5:59
contest, Tanya, that would be. We are I just.
6:02
Oh, we are. We are.
6:04

6:08
kid. Look.
6:10
Is that Avery Beer Halls? Yes.
6:12
Matt Beer Hall's daughter. Yes.
6:15
Yeah. That was a nice buck, too.
6:16
That's a big body. Congrats, Avery.

If you haven't seen it, she's holding up a number one while
6:21
she's holding. Up.
6:22
Yeah, but she just won the national championship.
6:23
Yeah, that's kind of cool. But that's.
6:26
That's awesome. She's free in the first place in
6:27
my rankings. That's a great picture.
6:33
Awesome. After her first sip of her first
6:36
cup of hot chocolate and putting on her war paint, she's fun.
6:39
Yeah. That's a great story and.
6:45
Let's see what we got next. Here we have a look through all
6:47
the prizes. Yeah, if you're listening, make
6:49
sure you check out the website for all our weekly prizes.
6:52
We just drew today, Week 9. We're clearly out of the youth
6:56
hunt here. Yeah, and.
6:57
That is a nice. Buck Now we're moving on to Todd
7:00
Peschel. That's a nice Buffalo County
7:01
buck on his farm. The.
7:03
Antlers are thick. Like, yeah, I believe that came
7:05
in at 1:36. I can pull it up to it.
7:08
I can go through the, you go through that and I'll open up
7:11
the other stuff. He Let's see.
7:14
He knows how to take a picture, I'll tell you that.
7:16
He's. Got it.
7:17
Those guys have been around for a while.
7:18
Those guys know their stuff. Got it in Buffalo county.
7:21
He has a pipe fitter out of Altoona.
7:24
Yeah, I. Think he's got the portrait mode
7:27
going so. Yeah, back.
7:31
Excellent pictures, Todd. Yes, you're not holding up a
7:34
number one. That's the only thing in.
7:35
Well, maybe he is. Yeah, Todd is currently in 5th
7:40
place right now at 136 and 4 eighths with that buck.
7:45
That's a nice heart is a really. Nice.
7:47
And it's funny talking to him. He was kind of upset about it a
7:49
little bit. It wasn't the big one he was
7:51
after, but it made him happy at the time.
7:52
But it was a little ground shrinkage, he said.
7:54
But that, that is a dandy buck. That was not the one he was
7:57
after. Oh, there's.
7:58
He's not in Buffalo County. I mean, there's land of giants
8:00
out there, you know? Buffalo Land of Buffalo in
8:03
Buffalo County. Another wow.
8:10
Tim Roy Craft. Yep, Tim.
8:12
Roy Craft, Another Altoona boy, huh?
8:14
Yep, another Claire County. No score on it, is it?
8:19
Still, a dandy Is. It fair to say as the Eastern
8:21
Wisconsin people are in over our heads here against Buffalo
8:24
County people. You mean in their picture
8:26
taking? Just in the deer in general,
8:28
yeah. He's a plumbing foreman out of
8:31
Altoona. That is a nice book.
8:34
Also, Congrats Tim. Wow.
8:39
Yeah, you wrote a nice little story.
8:40
I was. Going to say it out.
8:41
Go to the website and read these.
8:42
Stories. Yeah, I appreciate you guys
8:44
sending in your own stories. It's better than me just making
8:46
up crap and, you know, whatever. Yeah, we it's nice to read.
8:49
People do like to read them. Aren't doing it any justice on
8:52
the. You know, Lightnings, all I ask
8:54
is like kind of tell how the hunt went down, what the deer
8:56
were doing, you know, kind of your strategy if you want, and
8:59
the county you got it in because it's kind of information.
9:01
I got other things going behind the scenes with spreadsheets.
9:04
You don't have to tell us your pinpoint where you are, but.
9:07
The county, at least the. County and we got the Beck
9:12
family again, just slaughtering them.
9:13
They're in the food plot. I did get a little Intel on
9:15
this. I did kind of Jack up Brendan
9:17
this week. I called them and I said I need
9:20
your score. And I know they kind of green
9:21
scored. It's in the one.
9:22
It's like 1:40-ish. So that's kind of going to put
9:25
it in the top five. But we I don't have the official
9:27
score. Justin Beck was out of town.
9:29
I believe he's down in Arizona or something and he's going to
9:32
score it when he gets back. So this is this is not
9:36
officially in the top five, but this will.
9:38
Be the top five it it will be, yeah.
9:40
Wow, close, Yeah. What a year we're having.
9:44
It's been an an insane year. Nice, great pictures.
9:48
Yeah. I don't know what kind of food
9:49
plot that is, but that is the best looking food plot I've
9:51
ever. Seen Seriously.
9:53
Brendan's a pre apprentice out of Wisconsin Rapids.
9:57
Yeah, nice work, Brendan, as always.
9:59
Awesome, yeah. There's bigger ones out there by
10:03
them. Tony Culver's back.
10:05
Ah yes, Tony Culver is officially the greatest Doe
10:08
Hunter in tweak gear at history. Well.
10:10
Just wait. Just wait, it gets better.
10:11
It's his doe #2. He just keeps getting himself
10:14
entries into the into the. Tony has his freezer full, so
10:19
Congrats Tony. Next.
10:21
Up Tony. Text matches going back and
10:23
forth between me and him. I was giving him shit about not
10:26
having himself in the picture, and he finally sends one.
10:29
Yeah, he did. And I told him just yeah, you're
10:31
right, don't put yourself in the picture.
10:32
There you go, put ATG truck in this picture.
10:36
That's kind of a cool contraption they have in the
10:38
back of their. There's ATV there with the
10:41
hanging the dough like that. I got to get myself one of
10:43
those. So this is, I think Tony's up
10:44
there by himself a lot, and that's why it's hard for him to
10:47
take a picture. Oh.
10:48
Yeah, kind. Of So that's a nice contraption.
10:50
I don't have to ask you where he got that.
10:52
It's kind of nice. Check out the Tony Culver doe #3
10:56
if you want to see a good picture.
10:58
That goes off the hatchet and you put that on your truck it
10:59
looks like too, you know, very cool.
11:02
Drive home with it like that, just dangling in the breeze,
11:05
right? Just let it hang.
11:09
Just guts spraying all over the highway, no biggie.
11:13
TJ Hegemite. TJ finally, finally, he's been
11:18
on a little slump here as myself.
11:20
We were giving each other crap. He finally landed on a nice one
11:23
here out in Kewanee County, right behind.
11:24
His house, That is a hell. Of a ball.
11:27
And he did put tape to it and he is currently in 7th place in our
11:30
pool. This.
11:30
Year only, 7th place. It's 133 3/8.
11:34
Come. On I mean, they're all the
11:35
quality of deer this year has been insane and it's not even
11:37
gun hunting yet. So I've been feeling that we're
11:41
going to get some real big bastards this coming up weeks.
11:43
Congrats, TJ, that is. That's Congrats.
11:47
Got plumbing for him and out of the beer.
11:49
Is he holding up a mug of something in this picture?
11:52
I knowing TJ, he's probably got a nice cup of whiskey Coke
11:55
there. He's.
11:55
Got his dog there too. How did I not notice?
11:57
That could be coffee. It could be coffee.
12:00
Where does a cup planted in zoom in?
12:02
I can't tell liberty something Liberty.
12:05
Sure, Yeah, great picture. Like a dog in the pic going.
12:08
To be a TG. Cup and TG go way back, we shoot
12:10
archery together in league and whatnot, so very, very good
12:14
Archer. If there is a Buck Pool Hall of
12:16
Fame, TJ is. First out there, right?
12:19
He's got a lot of deer in it, that's for sure.
12:22
Congrats. There's a handful of guys, the
12:23
backs, TJ, Casey, Sean, and then we got Tony Culver.
12:27
Again, there's Tony. There he is, Tony.
12:31
That's a big doe because Tony is not a small guy and that doe is
12:35
looks pretty big. That doe is like 10 feet tall.
12:37
Doe #4, but he's in the picture. You could dunk over that doe.
12:44
Yeah, same contraption too, by the way.
12:46
It's. Got a nice little spot.
12:47
I mean, it's probably the neighbors are probably liking
12:48
it. He is thinning the herd up there
12:50
because if you have too many doughs, it kind of ruins it a
12:53
lot of times so. I got bored watching them walk
12:56
by. That's I've actually had that
12:59
happen before. I had one when I was like the
13:01
20th deer is going down. I don't care what it is.
13:04
Yeah, Tony's a meat meat hunter. He's I have a feeling though he
13:09
I think he might have one there. I don't know if he if he does or
13:11
not. He's got plenty of meat now.
13:13
Oh yeah, he's Freezer's full, so now he's going for this.
13:15
You'll see what he says in the number 5.
13:17
There's a #5. There is, yeah.
13:20
He's got his toe tags. Toe tags are close, and Josh
13:24
Jean Court finally got one under his belt.
13:27
He's been in a rut, too, and he got a nice one there in Door
13:30
County. I feel like that rack doesn't
13:32
match the deer. The deer looks absolutely
13:34
ginormous, yes. And the antlers are just.
13:38
Yeah, the body on it is just it's.
13:39
Definitely. 200 plus pounds, does it say in there that?
13:43
Is a. No, Nope.
13:46
Yeah. Finally forgot what the rush is
13:48
like and he got it back. 13 years slump.
13:51
Congrats, Josh. Nice work.
13:53
I think a lot of big part of it is his, he's got his kids
13:56
involved, so he's helping them get them.
13:58
They've been successful. So Josh is no stranger to to
14:01
knowing what the happens in the woods.
14:02
So he's a good hunter. Food and beverage estimator out
14:06
of Wrights Town. Yeah, nice job, Josh.
14:11
More raffle winners, check out the website.
14:15
And we got Luke Dubois. He's turning into the the legend
14:17
this year. Yeah, that's.
14:19
This is the one that he got in Shano County.
14:23
Yep, Shano on Halloween. Yep, very cool.
14:28
And that's his first buck of this year, First Halloween buck
14:32
for him too. And he's a plumbing farm.
14:34
And for us, he's currently working up in Bay Mills, MI at
14:37
the Bay Mills. What do you call that?
14:40
The casino hotel up there? You'd think I'd remember, but I
14:46
always call it BAE Mills. It is BAE Mills.
14:48
Yeah, but I don't know what it is.
14:50
Is it a mill? It doesn't have a name though,
14:51
right? It's not just BAE Mills.
14:53
Yeah, and then we another fellow plumber here, Kirk Altergot, got
14:58
a nice bull buck. Very nice picture.
15:01
I like how the it's kind of hiding behind him.
15:03
Yeah, it's. Like it's snuck around him.
15:05
Isn't that something? Look at the rack and stuff and
15:07
it blends in with the surroundings.
15:08
It's like it's so hard to see these things when you're
15:10
standing there. Did that one get scored?
15:12
No, no, Marinette. County.
15:15
Yeah, Marinette County, I think that's up his land there.
15:18
So all right, let's say it was on public land.
15:20
I can't Remember Remember 8 point or 155 lbs.
15:26
Nice work, Kirk. Yep.
15:28
Congrats. Tanner Wonder.
15:33
That's a nice buck too. Yeah, yeah, there's been a lot
15:35
of nice bucks, and Steve Tanner's got his I.
15:37
Guess when you have 300 plus people in the buck.
15:39
Yeah, I mean, they're gonna have 100 bucks, right?
15:41
I mean, last year was crazy going through all these.
15:43
But yeah, Tanner, let's Scroll down here.
15:45
Where did he get this thing? Iron County, Michigan.
15:48
Oh, that's right, you per buck steam fitter?
15:51
Yeah, he's guessing it's about a hundred 105.
15:53
And I would agree with him. It's nice Buck.
15:58
That's actually a really big buck.
15:59
I'm guessing where he's hunting in Iron County.
16:02
UP. Yeah.
16:02
You get your famous loving planners up there, the spikes
16:07
and stuff, but that's a really nice deer.
16:09
I think Michigan's coming back though.
16:11
UP. It seems like there's been some
16:13
Nicems up there. I'd argue it never left, yeah.
16:16
I'd say they their gun season starts this weekend, right?
16:19
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
16:21
Yeah, this is the eve, so good luck to all you yoopers.
16:26
Or those that go. Hey, Scott Sussman, retired
16:30
steam fitter. Good looking buck there.
16:32
Too, Yes, Door County up there in their property, I believe
16:36
it's by the What is that AC tap up there somewhere in that area?
16:39
Have you ever been there? Great establishment, nice cold
16:41
beers up there. Little plug for AC Tap.
16:44
But yeah, he got caught that one sneaking through the Cedars and
16:47
high winds. A lot of guys don't go on high
16:49
winds and he did and he got 1. So there you go.
16:52
In your in your spreadsheet, you have the county of every deer at
16:55
the every, every buck that's been scored, right?
16:58
Yes, I was going to share. I'm going to share that soon
17:00
when me and Charlie will figure out how to share that on this
17:01
website. It's just weird with Excel and
17:03
all that. But yeah, I do have something.
17:05
It's pretty neat to go through and you can filter it by county.
17:07
We're going to find a way to put the biggest buck in the county.
17:09
On a map. Oh, so we.
17:11
Can see exactly. There you go.
17:13
You got some? Yeah, because that's a really
17:14
good idea. Yeah, we'll get that.
17:17
Yeah, just hover that in 2026. Yeah, you could hover over the
17:21
pen and they'll say who got it and what year.
17:23
I like this. As you work on.
17:27
Seasons coming up and. I'm going to.
17:29
I'm going to promise something I've never done before.
17:31
This old go great. Yeah, yeah.
17:34
There we go. Lee Zellner had some success up
17:37
north. He looked shocked.
17:41
Lee or the deer? That's a nice Buck Lee and a
17:45
well, he's got a, he's got a nice one.
17:47
He's got it on the day after he had a really nice one on camera.
17:49
So Marinette County again, been seen a lot of Marinette County
17:53
throughout the last couple of years.
17:57
I've gotten to talk to Lee or at least be a part of conversations
17:59
that Lee's been in talking about deer hunting a few times and he
18:02
has talked quite a bit about like he doesn't see bucks and
18:05
like. So this is.
18:06
It's a nice box. Had to be a thrill for him.
18:08
Nice 8 pointer look, perfect rack.
18:11
Well, he's a project construction startup tech.
18:13
How did it appear? Wow.
18:20
Yeah. Brian Jansen.
18:20
Yeah, This was, it was just a hectic couple weeks here.
18:22
I was insane. I was off for two weeks and I,
18:25
I'm not kidding you doing this, and I love doing it.
18:28
It was probably all of 20 hours updating all that stuff.
18:30
It was crazy. I do it at night, you know, it's
18:34
fun. Great bug, Brian.
18:38
You got that in the UP Michigan. But there's another Michigan
18:40
Buck awesome Dickinson County he's.
18:44
Doing some fitter work in at the Queen ASAC Mill.
18:50
Yeah, Congrats, Brian. How?
18:52
That the tongue look mangled, yeah.
18:55
I was going to say, it looks like it's been chewing on its
18:57
own. Tongue.
18:58
Another Tanner wonder bottle tan.
19:00
Back is that its twin? Yeah, it looks like it's this.
19:04
He got this one in Brown County I believe.
19:07
Yep, Swamaco in his bed. I think he brought the same deer
19:11
to Brown County. He thinks he just propped it up.
19:14
Well, I know that later on we're going to run into Mike Levine,
19:16
and he was after the same deer, so he can attest it.
19:18
It was actually there. That's sure, yeah.
19:22
It said right, 12 yards you shot him at.
19:24
It's an alibi. Yeah, double.
19:27
He got the doubler this year, got one in UP and one in
19:30
Wisconsin. It's a nice job that's hard to
19:32
do. That's a nice, that's a nice
19:33
year. That's a nice buck.
19:35
Yeah, it does. I'm not sure if these guys are
19:37
mounting them or not, but yeah, I don't think I have a score up
19:38
with his. Jason.
19:45
Jason got a really nice one, too.
19:47
Kewanee County, I don't know. What that ear is like and.
19:51
The deer looks he must have met in a swamp because his face is
19:54
all dirty and his eyebrows. The deer, not Jason.
19:56
Wide open. And he's got a looks like a nice
19:59
cold Coors Banquet beer. Early gun works there, yeah.
20:02
I'd be drunk. I just feel that the deer was
20:04
playing on the slide or something and he disrupted his
20:08
fun deer. How the merry go round.
20:11
It's a tough shot, actually. Yeah.
20:14
On a swing. Oh.
20:16
Kiwani County. It's wild.
20:20
I want, I want more information on like you can't just put this
20:23
out there, this deer, dead deer in the middle of a playground
20:26
and not explain it. Well, it's probably in his
20:28
backyard. That's his backyard.
20:31
Well. I guess it could be, huh?
20:33
Or it's down somewhere. Jason's a plumbing foreman out
20:36
at the pier. We'll get some more raffle
20:41
winners go to the website week 8.
20:42
There a lot of prizes this year. Mike Paul.
20:47
Doesn't that deer just look fuzzy?
20:50
It does like a a stuffed animal. Mike Paul sent in his score, 116
20:55
and 6 eighths. Very nice.
20:58
I was glad he was in the picture because I talked to this guy a
21:00
lot. Yeah, do you?
21:02
I don't know him. Yeah, I've, I've talked to him
21:05
quite a bit in the last month or so and I'm like, oh, so that's
21:09
what he looks like. Actually, I think he's the one
21:13
that had. He's actually sent it in the way
21:15
you're supposed to be sent it to the outside TG e-mail site and I
21:18
didn't see it. I never go check.
21:19
I should probably get better at. That I can't remember the last
21:21
time. I looked at that.
21:22
Yeah, he scored it. He got that in Portage County,
21:25
which I think that might be the first Portage County buck.
21:27
What if they're like 1010 deer on there that we haven't?
21:30
Yeah, well, actually the obstacle looking out while you
21:32
guys are talking. He's, you know, just following
21:34
the rules, new guy and. Yeah, nice buck.
21:40
Big bodied deer. This buck is break dancing in
21:43
this picture. What is Mike doing?
21:44
What does he do? Here he's a He's an account
21:46
manager out of Wisconsin Rapids. Nice.
21:51
That's cool thing and the reason why we do this kind of get to
21:53
know who everybody is. This buck is coming out of the
21:57
ground holy. Look, I laughed pretty hard at
22:00
this picture. It's it is literally coming out.
22:03
It looks like it's coming out of the ground and the antlers had
22:07
to squeeze out of the ground as well.
22:10
Yeah, that is a. Interesting choice of photo,
22:13
Cody. Thank you for that.
22:14
That's the head of the spike, or three pointer I should say.
22:18
Let's see where he got that. Cody's an account manager out of
22:21
our Altoona location. That is my second favorite
22:25
picture. Number one is still the kid with
22:27
the number one is still. My favorite?
22:30
But yeah, the severed head coming out of the ground is my
22:33
second favorite. Now I'm.
22:35
Going to have nightmares. Here's Mike Vines first entry
22:41
into the Buck pool. Nice.
22:43
Buck Swamako again? Brown County, Yeah.
22:46
Brown County. Mike's steam fitter.
22:50
Looks like he's been in a fight that didn't end well for the
22:53
other person. You should see the other guy
22:57
exactly. If you guys look at the picture,
23:01
you'll know what we're telling. So he said he had to settle for
23:03
this one tonight. Tanner Wonder lives on the
23:04
opposite side of the woods as me and he got the buck as we were
23:07
both after laugh out loud. But happy to put one in the
23:10
freezer. Yeah.
23:10
Nice job Mike. Congrats.
23:12
Yeah. Nice.
23:16
What do? We got here.
23:19
Oh, we've got Carter Snyder. That's Kyle's older son, huh?
23:23
Son of Kyle. Kyle's kids seem to be doing
23:27
very well. What's going on, Kyle?
23:29
Yeah. What's up?
23:30
I'm kids first, right? Put the kids first.
23:32
Yeah, I think so. What a dad, nice work.
23:36
Yeah, he's yeah, putting the kids first.
23:38
What? Why did I immediately go to
23:40
talking trash about Kyle when really he's just being a good
23:43
dad? Yeah, he must've put a good shot
23:46
in. It only ran 20 feet.
23:47
That's awesome. Makes for an easy track.
23:50
Oldest son first Bo. Dear first Bo.
23:53
Buck. Nice.
23:54
That's a good feeling. Awesome.
23:56
Great job, Carter. Yeah, that's a nice buck to
24:01
Brian Meyer. Very nice buck.
24:03
Brian Meyer, let's see, he got that in Ocono County, public
24:10
land for all you public land hunters.
24:12
And if you have never done it, it's definitely challenging
24:16
there. You got to contend with other
24:17
hunters and just you don't, you don't know the land as well.
24:21
You know, it's just the deer are pressured.
24:23
It's just it's really hard to get one of public land, and
24:25
there's been a lot of them throughout the years.
24:27
I have a lot of good hunters here at Tweak here at.
24:29
Public land in 30 years, almost 30 years and yeah, that that's,
24:34
yeah, 25 years. Anyway, that's been, I got
24:37
plenty of stories even from back then, like yeah, been very
24:41
fortunate to. Brian's a sheet metal worker out
24:45
of De Pere and Wrightstown. Yeah, nice work.
24:49
That's awesome. Yeah, some of these deserve
24:50
tape. I know some of these aren't
24:51
going to be in the top five or whatever, but it's still cool to
24:53
get them it's scored because then they get when they get
24:56
scored, they get entered into the old time list and you'll be
24:58
on the spreadsheet and always be able to go look at them.
25:00
If you don't score them, they kind of just disappear.
25:02
Yeah, Get them scored, yeah. This one seems.
25:05
Send me, send me a score. I mean, if it's not, I mean if
25:07
that one's, I'm guessing 110 inches, you know, it's a nice,
25:11
but it's a nice 8 pointer. It looks like an 8 pointer.
25:13
I think it says 8. Yeah, it's an 8.
25:16
Nice brow times on it, it's great bug.
25:18
That'd be hard to pass that one up.
25:21
I'm surprised that's only 110. OK, I have a little note on this
25:24
one. But again, I'm terrible at
25:26
judging these. Yeah, Brandon Lamb and man,
25:27
they're family. Bunch of killers.
25:30
Holy shit. That's another one that deserves
25:34
tape is all of his. His two sons got nice ones
25:37
throughout the year. Pretty awesome.
25:40
What a year. That's a magical year for that
25:42
family. Brandon's account manager in
25:46
Wrightstown and his. Sons, I'll put it in layman's
25:49
terms. What a year.
25:50
What's the hell out of here? Oh I wish I knew the button for
25:53
the rim shot but. I'm sure he's never heard that
25:55
one before. Sons Asher and Jack Jaxton.
26:01
Is that how you say that? It looks like it, yeah.
26:03
Jackson, Good job, guys. Yeah, I'm not sure if he's going
26:07
to head mount those all, but that's going to be 1 expensive
26:09
tax. Jeremy Bill, I definitely,
26:10
definitely deserve it. It might be worth it for one of
26:14
them to just go into taxidermy. Yeah, right.
26:18
Learn it themselves, do your own.
26:20
Yeah. You got three of them, three of
26:22
them to practice on what we got here.
26:26
Logan Mackey, Kentucky do. Yeah, Logan talked to him a
26:30
couple times. He got that down to Kentucky,
26:31
Pulaski County I. Don't think I'm going to put
26:34
that pin on the map. Pulaski County, Kentucky.
26:37
That might be the only one, right?
26:38
Just guessing. Yeah.
26:40
Nice job, Logan. Yeah, he's having a hell of a
26:43
year as well. Kevin John at that.
26:47
Wow, Yeah, I just talked to Kevin.
26:49
He was at a pub last night that's got a goofy, some a lot
26:52
of goofy things coming on here. They did put tape to it at A at
26:56
a local establishment last night, I guess, and they were
26:58
coming up with 136 inches. I we'll see.
27:01
He's going to bring it in on next week.
27:02
He's got the skull cap and all that.
27:03
He's going to bring it in. I'll score it.
27:05
I was trying to decide what's coming off my head in this.
27:07
Picture. It's a really nice deer, but
27:11
yeah, on his left side he's got like a weird point coming out of
27:13
his. Yeah, it's almost like a second
27:16
brow. Time.
27:17
It's very strange. Our second main beam kind of
27:19
thing. It's weird.
27:20
Very nice Buck, very unique. He was pretty stoked about that.
27:24
That's Kevin. That is a really.
27:25
Pretty Brown County. Kevin's an account manager out
27:29
at the pier. Yeah, 9 almost 10 inch D2 is on
27:33
it. Nice.
27:35
Casey's back again. Casey's got a nice Kansas looks
27:37
like an 8. Yeah, it's an 8 point very nice
27:41
bug. Nice long tines on it, yeah.
27:42
Those tines are out of control. That 1 ended up scoring.
27:46
He's in 6th place with 133 and five eights to Dandy.
27:53
He's got quite the story there. He typed it up himself and sent
27:57
her in. Nice pictures.
27:59
Great Buck, nice job. Casey definitely and the group
28:02
that he was with, they all had really super successful down
28:05
there. I think he sent me other
28:07
pictures and the husband and the wife, they both got real nice
28:09
deer too, so they're in a good spot down there.
28:13
Casey. Casey hasn't been on the
28:15
podcast. That's in Kansas.
28:17
Send him the invite every week, but yeah, got to get him back on
28:20
to talk about that one. Food and beverage estimator out
28:22
of Wrights Town. And now Luke's back again.
28:26
And we got the leader in the clubhouse, Candace Buck, Luke
28:29
Dubois, when he brought that in and I met him at the door.
28:33
It's just so cool seeing these big mainframe, you know, 23 inch
28:36
main beams and almost 12 inch tines and just crazy.
28:41
Right hand on that is almost like too.
28:44
It's too thick to wrap his hand around.
28:46
Actually, it's not, it's not very thick.
28:48
No, it's just the way it looks. It's actually not.
28:52
The mass isn't there. So he was telling me the story
28:55
and stuff like that. They, they're pretty sure it's
28:57
only a 3 1/2 year old. This thing had some genetics to
28:59
it. It was going to be an it's, it's
29:01
a giant. It's such a nice bug.
29:04
So I'm walk through with those with that, those antlers.
29:09
The other day he had White, Yeah, right there, the big smile
29:13
on his face. Just awesome score sheets there.
29:16
158 and two eights current leader do.
29:21
We say Luke's a journeyman. And that that puts him number
29:24
three all time. I have a spreadsheet going
29:25
separately on the side. I'll share with everyone I'm
29:27
done with it, but. That's number three.
29:28
Yeah. Wow.
29:30
Congrats, Luke, that is. That is.
29:32
Awesome. For about the 10th time, I'm
29:33
just going to say go to the website and look at these
29:36
pictures because wow. And.
29:39
Oh, come on. Tony Culver again strikes again.
29:44
Doe 5. With Tony, join us on the
29:48
podcast, I would love to. He probably would.
29:51
He got to hear his secrets. It's a 5 doe.
29:53
He'll just say, well, I sit in my blind and they walk by and I
29:55
shoot him. Yeah, got tired of watching them
29:57
so I think he said. Now his his tags are.
30:01
His tags are full. That's it buddy.
30:05
I want some meat so I'm dough tagged out.
30:08
Now it's time to get that monster Spike I.
30:12
Can't wait to see it. Yeah, we don't know.
30:13
Tony is quite the character. If it's a monster spike, try to
30:16
make it look like it's coming out of the ground please.
30:18
Yeah, nice work, Tony. Bring in some beef sticks,
30:22
that'd be great. Snow.
30:23
Or venison sticks. Yeah, And there's our first snow
30:27
of the year, Adam Brown. Monroe County.
30:30
That I think that's the first from Monroe County.
30:32
I'm not even sure where that is. I'm not sure either, I didn't
30:35
really look that. Alaska.
30:37
No. Well, was this last weekend that
30:39
he got it because that's when we first started getting snow,
30:42
right? I actually quick tangent drove
30:45
my daughter back to Whitewater on Sunday and it was snowing on
30:48
the way down and there was snow on the ground in Whitewater.
30:52
Yeah. So Monroe County, that's near,
30:56
that's in Toma. Oh boy.
30:58
Sparta, western part of the. Station, which would make sense.
31:00
He's a service. He's in the service department
31:04
in Wisconsin Rapids. Nice work, Adam.
31:09
Sorry for my paper ruffle. Logan, Mac.
31:12
There's a nice one that got beat up.
31:14
Look at all the tines are broke on this thing.
31:19
They're from Kentucky. Gun bug.
31:20
Yeah, I called him about this in Pulaski County.
31:25
Pulaski County, Kentucky see that main bean is broken that
31:29
ended up scoring with that on there at 1:29 and six eights.
31:34
Even with the broken Wow. But he couldn't have found it.
31:39
Could you just super glue it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:44
I mean, you could technically. I mean if you found it.
31:46
That matched up, yeah. So Logan is a fitter welder in
31:51
De Pere out of De Pere. I just I'm blown away at this
31:57
is. Jacob Delabro.
31:58
Jacob Delabro These pictures are wow.
32:01
Do you want a county buck? I want to say no.
32:07
He didn't skip score, but he did put tape on the spread in those
32:09
18 inches, so it's very wide. Don't, don't tell me Usually
32:13
with these when I'm like, wow, you're like that.
32:14
Scored a 112. So it's because we don't know.
32:18
It's a really nice. It's an 8 pointer, so obviously
32:20
when you get to your 10 pointers and stuff, that's where the big
32:22
scores come in. Unless it you know they're giant
32:26
frames, you know the main beams. The main beams is a huge
32:28
measurement and the the length of the tines is huge.
32:32
Look at the SO. Obviously when you have 10,
32:34
that's two more points that are, you know, 6 inches apiece.
32:36
That's 12 inches and. I hear you.
32:39
You. Know.
32:40
Stop. Stop making sense.
32:41
Let me. Just it is, but I mean it's
32:43
those are really nice bucks. Jacob's sheet metal apprentice
32:47
on it appear. I believe this is his first buck
32:50
pool entry ever. Well, that's a way to get
32:53
started. And.
32:55
I talked to Cody about this one. He's upset about this one a
32:57
little bit, but it's it's a beautiful buck.
33:00
That's a great about this. That's a great picture.
33:02
I was. Going to say, is he upset about
33:03
the professional photography? It's a great picture, Cody.
33:08
Dizzy. And he's the service manager.
33:10
Oh no. What's he upset about not?
33:11
Not it wasn't, not. What he thought.
33:13
The big That's like, again, where is he hunting?
33:15
Yeah, Buffalo County. Yeah.
33:18
Shake my what did he score that one at to 124 and 3883 eights 8
33:23
pointer? I I don't know what to say that
33:28
that was a beautiful box. I would be.
33:29
Thrilled with that, but to each of.
33:32
Those Cody. I'm just I'm just flabbergasted
33:36
by some of these pictures. The TG hat am I seeing there?
33:40
Oh no, it's not. That guy looks like, so I can't
33:42
tell. Yeah.
33:44
Something like that, all right. Kevin Duquesne, he had that in
33:51
the back of his truck here in the parking lot yesterday.
33:53
I. Wish I came out here and I'm
33:55
like Oh my gosh. Brown County.
33:57
Kevin should have sent you sent in the other picture of when he
34:01
was just lifting it up off the ground.
34:03
Kevin came up to me this morning and said, did you see the Bambi
34:06
I got? And I'm like, you know, he was
34:08
obviously being self deprecating, but like that I
34:12
would be happy with that block. Like that's not a Bambi to me.
34:14
That's. 101 inch. 101 and 4 eighths inch.
34:18
Actually 7 pointer. One of the times has broke off
34:20
so it's a decent buck. I think he said he he was at a
34:23
five year hiatus of getting any bow deer.
34:26
So Congrats, Kevin. Yeah, that was AII think our, I
34:33
don't know, our idea of what success is has gotten warped.
34:36
Maybe the buck pool has something to do with it.
34:38
Honestly, you see all these other massive deer that other
34:40
people are getting them like this deer would make me happy
34:42
and any season. Yeah, that's what happens with
34:45
hunting. But yeah, I mean, everybody's
34:47
got trophies on their mind. Everybody's got a different, you
34:49
know, it's way to go. It's so hard to get a deer the
34:54
way it is. Just it's.
34:55
It's not easy. Are we actually caught up?
35:00
Is that what we are? 34 minutes in, we're caught up.
35:03
Yeah, so I got to explain this a little bit.
35:05
OK, I know I'm going to get crap for this.
35:07
Uh. Oh, what?
35:10
Well, I spun the wheel today. Oh yeah.
35:13
Oh, that's right. And I have a group of people a.
35:15
Handful of us witnessed. Hat about six of us were
35:18
watching it and I of course my name comes up and I'm going to
35:20
get crap for it, but it it was Chad Wayne Meyer, Trent Gagnon,
35:26
Brett Lutke and myself. We got $50.00 gift cards to I I
35:30
want to say it's I always say Cabela's.
35:31
I think it's Bass Pro shops now it.
35:33
Is now, so actually, yeah. And that was donated from Loop
35:36
Now Companies. Did they merge?
35:39
That happened years ago actually, but they it has.
35:42
Kind of kept the name and still says Cabela's and.
35:45
Now I see Bass Pro Shops, there's still a Cabela's kind of
35:47
off to the side. I.
35:48
Don't understand it, but yeah. I think they're like gradually
35:52
phasing Cabela's out maybe? I don't know but but yes Bass
35:56
Pro shops bought Cabela's. I want to say it was like 3-4
35:59
years ago now. Of course, I mean, it's not that
36:01
I frequent said establishment either, so.
36:06
But yeah, they've been the same thing for a while.
36:10
Yeah. So we can kind of get into.

but in the Brown County Range and watch a guy blast a hole
36:47
right through the roof of the of the place.
36:50

36:56
guy out of here, man. He's going to shoot somebody.
36:58

afternoon so I'll put I'll post that as soon as this is over.
37:24
If you don't know who Frank is, he's a Falconer and he's got a,
37:28
I think a Goss hawk and a red tailed hawk or something that he
37:30
has and he flies around and goes hunting with him.
37:32
It's pretty neat. One of.
37:34
His Hawks passed away, yeah. Recently he got a new one.

38:09
I don't know if the other offices do it, but they should
38:11
start doing that. That's pretty neat.
38:12
It really started with just you guys, sort of.
38:14
Put us kind of hands out of the table there and every cheese and
38:17
crackers and whatever. So I had somebody come up this
38:20
morning and say, did you try Kay's cinnamon cake?
38:23
And I was like what? Because I go to like I don't
38:27
know why it's called deer camp. So in my head I only grab food
38:30
that like I've. Like deer?
38:32
Camp having like sausage sticks and cheese and crackers and and
38:35
pickled eggs. Heart attack on a pan, you know.
38:39
And I was like, wait, there was cake there because I didn't even
38:41
look. At you didn't look at the
38:42
desserts. No, because.
38:44
You didn't see the deer that had the bullet hole?
38:48
And I saw somebody taking a picture too.
38:49
We should see if we can get that picture.
38:50
Because Neva Neva took a picture.
38:53
OK, somebody made deer shaped cookies that actually had like.
38:59
One in the one at the heart shot and one at the next shot.
39:03
OK, yeah, they and they had little red.
39:05
Yeah. Little red, but she said she
39:07
couldn't find silver. Little morbid for a cookie
39:10
maybe, but. Shelly in our service department
39:13
had made those, she said. She couldn't find the little
39:15
silver balls, so she had to use gold.
39:20
But yeah, there was a lot of stuff there was.
39:22
Yeah. That's my favorite, one of my
39:24
favorite days of the year here at the office.

39:32
What was in there? Bear and.
39:34
All bear and elk. Bear and elk blazer.
39:36
Brought that in, it was good like a spread.
39:38
Why? Why shit dip?
39:41
That's what it. Was called because it looks like
39:43
it. It looks like it in the pot.
39:45
Now it's all meat ground up and whatever really you want to get
39:49
into it. I mean, come on.
39:51
There was, I don't know that's I didn't try it.
39:54
Maybe it smells like shit. A lot of the cheese that we have
39:57

39:59
think. Oh, I don't.
40:01

40:03

40:13
Raw beef. I saw that I won't.
40:15
See like the the the desserts yeah, because I was too focused
40:18
on the meat products and but I and.

41:41
there's still some people that didn't receive their hat and
41:43
their little can cooler thingy that we got for signing up.
41:48
When you send in your dear picture, make sure you're in the
41:50
picture. That's always helpful.
41:52
Yes. And there will be something out
41:54
here and on how it'll there will be a best picture.
42:02
Tony wants to do a best picture thing at the end here and we'll
42:04
have a prize for that. Who was the kid with the number
42:07
one? That's my pick.
42:10
Oh, Beer Hall's kid. She wins.
42:14
Or that's my vote anyway. I won't say she wins, but
42:17
somebody better if they want. To we usually around gun season
42:23
we get some good ones too. That's where we've had like the
42:26
cat and the wheelbarrow. There she is.
42:31
That and she's got the camel like the face paint going.
42:33
Yeah, that's going to be a tough one to beat.
42:36
That's. Awesome, I like that kid.
42:38
Yeah, send in your pictures, try to get your scores updated if
42:41
you can. If you get them scored, they
42:43
always go to the all time list. That's how you get on the all
42:45
time list. So if you're wondering why it's
42:46
not on there, that's why, because you don't have a score.
42:50
So try to get them scored. I'm available most times or
42:55
anything else. Oh hey, the other thing we were
42:57
going to we're doing the A prize every day.
42:59
During the nine days gun season will be pulling names, every day
43:04
a winner and then the same thing for Christmas.
43:08
That's always. That's always kind of neat.
43:10
We got a lot of prizes here. I have to go shopping yet with
43:12
the money monies, so lots to do yet.
43:16
Very exciting. So stay safe everybody.
43:18
Good. Luck out there have.
43:22
