• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your host, Mark Kenyan. This is episode number one tan
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the show. We have got a special treat for you
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: as this episode was recorded last week at our two
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: thousand seventeen Iowa shed camp with some of my best
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: hunting buddies and we're chatting and laughing through some of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: our favorite shed hunting and deer hunting stories. All right,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: by sit gear. I am. Today is going to be
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a special episode because we don't have one single guest
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and we're not talking about some kind of strategy or
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: tip or tactic. We're just telling stories today. And the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: majority of this podcast was actually recorded a few days
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: ago in Iowa where I was on a shed hunting
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: trip with a bunch of my buddies and Saturday night,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we uh we piled into the camper, grabbed a bunch
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of microphones and recorded a podcast talking about how and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: what we had been up to the past few days
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: looking for sheds. But Dan Johnson couldn't stick around for that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He actually did. Though you did get to come and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: shed hunt with us on one day before that, That's right,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and that was fun. It was I had a blast.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm really glad you could get out of work and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: come do that. Yep. Although I'm pretty sure Ross Hawsman
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: walked all the good spots. He did find a really
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: nice big shed the day after we left. Yeah, I know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I saw the picture of it, but it a but yeah, man,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it was. It was fun, but it was tough, you know. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: but that's what shed hunting is, man. It's not even
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like it's uh, there's really goals. It's just walking, especially
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: when I came up on Friday, just walking with buds basically. Yeah. Now,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you were only there for like six hours or something
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that but even in that, even in that short period
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of time, did we not just laugh in absolute Crapton?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we laughed. I got a chiropractic adjustment. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it's funny because I I left the shed hunt better
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: than what I arrived. So it's a pretty good deal
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: hanging out with a bunch of chiropractors, I know, right,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Although I've got some pictures of you that looked like
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you might have been taken advantage of a little bit.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Well when when a guy says, all right, take your
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: boots off, lay on your belly, and uh, I'll I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: up behind the eye, I was just like, where is
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this going? Is this a trick? Oh? So funny? That
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was awesome? Um, so I didn't even know how did
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: how did Sunday or Saturday go for you guys? So
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so Saturday was kind of more of the same as Friday.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Um we ended up finding a few sheds as a group,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but overall overall is really really tough. I tracked my
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: mileage and I walked let me double check this, Um,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I know of the course of three days, I'm just
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: gonna look and make sure here, give me two seconds,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get this number correct. Of course, the internet
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: goes slow. When I tried this, okay, thirty a little
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: over thirty seven miles. I walked thirty thirty seven miles
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in three days, for four days, three days, and like
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: an hour on the last morning, gotch And so we
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: walked a lot as a group, found very few sheds,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and me personally found zero my very first time ever
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: coming home empty handed from Iowa. So that was a bummer.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, you know there's more to it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in that, lots of lots of good stories. And uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: did you find when while you were there with us?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I did not. I haven't found one this entire year.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yet you did go out. I did go out. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: went out with my wife and my son on Saturday,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and my wife found her very first shed ever. That's awesome. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: oh she was. I heard her. I heard her, Hey, hey, hey,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I got one. I got one. Hey hey, I got
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a shed. And I'm just all right, like if I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: acted like that would be a ninety injurre, right. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I mean it was just this little dank, this little
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: larry um larry shed, and uh, she was pumped and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: she and now I haven't Actually I had to move
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: some stuff around and I put put that shed in
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: my office and it hangs in a very special spot.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm thinking about getting a little plaque
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that says, you know, Sarah's first shed or something like
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that made because I was. I was just as jacked
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: as she was. I'm like, all right, now she's excited,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So she is she gonna be a more frequent shed
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: hunter now, I think so. I think Saturday, this coming Saturday,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we have a we have an entire day planned. That's sweet. Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that's what you need. You almost need to go on
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: plant one for these newbies, just so that they can
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: get that little excitement and then be into it. Right.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That's funny because it's it's kind of funny because first
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: two years my wife ever came shed hunting with me,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: they're just very short walks, and other than getting caught
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in multiflower rose or and not finding anything or like
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sprinkling a bit, she's like, why do you do this?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And um, it took time, but I could see her excitement,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just kind of like turkey hunting. The first two years
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I took her turkey hunting, It downpoured and it was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: cold and the turkeys weren't responding, and she's like, is
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this how you know? That was her introduction ever, first
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: time ever into hunting. And then the third year, finally
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: every everything kind of worked out and now she understands
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that that excitement. You know, sometimes there's ups and downs
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and and the excitement, you know, the droughts make the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: plentiful times much better. I guess, yeah, for sure, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: can definitely relate to that. I actually I actually had
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my wife out helping me chef hunt today back here
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in Michigan, and right unfortunately had a situation similar to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: yours where she wasn't find anything and it was cold
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and windy, and she's like, this is boring, I'm going on.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: But I did have I do have some exciting news.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I did find my first shed of the year today.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Oh congratulations, Mark, thank you. It was a one. Uh No,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's an old shed, um, which is, you know, kind
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of not as exciting as a new shed, but but
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it is. This is really pretty crazy. And for those
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: long time followers of why You're to hunt, you'll you'll
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: understand why this is so cool. This shed is from
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: two thousand twelve and it is the shed from the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: buck I called Leaner, a buck that I was after
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: for two years and um in two thousand thirteen was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: like the biggest buck on the farm and awesome, awesome deer.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But his two thousand twelve shed is the one I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: found that it was like no doubt about it. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: looked at him like, there's are some way this could
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: possibly be his from way back then. And then I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: went and looked at trailcare and pictures just now a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: few minutes ago, and absolutely no doubt that's him, so
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: crazy crazy that she has been sitting there for four
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: years and I haven't found it, and uh, it's in.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's not chewed up bad or anything. It's just it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was a little bit green, but otherwise it was great.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So that was kind of cool. Yeah. I talked with
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Lee Lakowski or via text message, uh yesterday and he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: told me that of all his deer have dropped, the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: only ones that are still holding our um like one
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and two year olds. So for me that just is like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: oh man, because there was a huge gap between on
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: my farm from the time that I, uh that I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have shed hunted earlier this year in late February or
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: at mid February to now where hopefully they're not all
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: chewed up or someone else has scooped him, you know. Yeah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that's the tough things getting that timing right. I've been
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: patiently waiting to walk the properties where I think holy
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Field might be, and today was the first day I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: really hit it hard because I had a good feeling
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they were dropped, and um, I didn't find him, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: there's a lot more area to walk. So this next
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: week or song to hit it hard because I do
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: think I do think that, um, they could be in there.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So now you can't use any type of you can't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: drop any corn or put out any attractives or anything
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: like that. Right, No, I can't do that here. So
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's just been hoping he sticks around. And um, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was worried that he might not because my food plots
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have been flooded earlier in February. But um, but some
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: recent intel indicates that he's still in my neck of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the woods. So nice, well, good luck man. I hope
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you find him and then you can celebrate. Oh my gosh,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: if I find those antlers, I will scream like a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: little girl. Earl. Are you like, how how many acres
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: are you do you have access to to hunt where
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you think he is or do you feel that going
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in there today, you know, you get you ran the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: risk of maybe bumping him out and he's gonna go
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: shed somewhere else. So around this property hunt. I've got
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: access to several different adjacent properties, so I've got a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of properties I can shed hunt around here. Um,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: A good chunk of the area of this kind of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: block of the roads, you know, the square mile block.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Um I can shed hunt. I don't know sevent of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it maybe um, so I feel I feel pretty darn
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: good about that. Um it's just a matter of you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: seeing them. But I think, um, I'm pretty sure I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: saw him last night and he was he was shed
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So that was why I went in there today. And UM,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I can't say for sure,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but I was like, gosh, I really think that's him.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And I saw him relatively recently with antlers and then
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: again here in the same place and looked like it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was him again without so um because I decided to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: take the plunge. And so today I walked what I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: thought was probably the best area. And I walked, I mean,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: my wife and I walked it like we we find
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: tooth comb combed it. I mean, we didn't miss a spot.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: We checked every we just grid searched it. Um so
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a grid stearch. I don't know what it would have been,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: maybe like a ten acre area today And um then
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I just did kind of like a little perimeter, low
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: hanging fruit type walk on my way back out. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: now maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'm just gonna
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: keep on working chunks like that and just working really
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: really hard, um and hopefully hopefully come on them. So
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that's the hope, right, that's the hope. You never how
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it goes, but we're to get a shot, right right.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Uh well, good luck Mark. I hope you uh, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: hope you find find him. Um, maybe bring your grunt
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: tube or something like that and you might be able
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to you know, made while you're walk and you can
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: go on a little bit and they'll they won't run
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: off spooked. It's an interesting idea, something that won't do it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But I know I'm spitballing here right. I like the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I like the willingness to try new ideas that Dan.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. Um, the box outside the box.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So I gotta say real quick before we wrap this up,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I do wish that you had been able to stick
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: around for the podcast recording this past weekend. Um you know, man,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: me too. But you know, you know how the free
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: time is and the Brownie point system works. Uh well
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: maybe you know how it works, um with you know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: two kids and a wife by herself, and my kids
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: are psychopaths, so they literally know how to push every
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: button that is on that an adult can have and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know when that time is gone uh and and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: used up and those buttons are pushed, it can get stressful.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I believe that. I believe that. Well, I understand why
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you couldn't make it. We could have used you though,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: we could have used it because like, uh, I gotta
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: say right, it was it was myself and then five
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of my buddies and these they're not podcasting pros like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you are, Dan your pro so it took it took
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a little time to get them warmed up. It was.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit slow and it was a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: little bit rough at the beginning. I was like, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: could use some nine fingers. Here were you? Uh? Were you?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Were they giving you one word? Uh? Like answers like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: oh hey guys, so, uh how did day go? Today
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: went good? Yeah, we're walking like it sounded like NPR
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: kind of like that. Yeah, there were some nerves, I think, um,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: but what we got into it and you know what
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the key was the key to really getting things going.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But it was well, there was some of that, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it was it was getting the man who took advantage
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of you, Mr Chiropractor, Peter Lynch, getting him going that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I want to send a shout out real quick, and uh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I wanna uh tell perimeter Peat thanks for the infield adjustment.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And uh do you know what the name of his
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: chiropractic agency is? Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: get it wrongly Peter Peter Lynch Chiropractic maybe or something
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like that out of Northeastern Iowa. Right, he is the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: best chiropractor in the entire world. So you should go
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if you're having any ailments, you should go visit him
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: because he does a great job. And that can you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we can hopefully sick it doesn't get mad that we've
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: had two commercials now, Yeah, I'm hoping I'll let that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one slide. He was wearing sitcup during the shed hunt,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so he it evens out. Yeah, I think so. All right, well,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: let's uh let's wrap this up and hop over to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the camper um where we had our shed Camp podcast.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But first we will take a break for that aforementioned
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: sick of Gear segment. And I figured today we'd have
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: our sikest story simply be the stories you're about to hear,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: because just about all of them took place while wearing
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: sick of gear. You know, almost Almost every single one
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of my friends is wearing sick Of gear in their hunts,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and most of them wearing it on the shed hunting trip.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: So we got to take advantage of their products to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: keep us comfortable and out there hiking around for most
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of last week. So that's what I thought I'd share
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: my ideal shed hunting sick system. You know, the actual
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: gear I was wearing during these hunts, so the shed hunts,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So on this trip, I was wearing the sick Of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: gear Core Lightweight crew longsleeve shirt and the Core Lightweight bottoms,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and these are the basse layers I actually also wearing
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: my hunts, and they are a synthetic, lightweight based layer
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that just do an incredible job of handling moisture, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in this case, sweat from walking around all over the place.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And they also had this built in polygene technology which
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he utilizes a silver salt to neutralize odor. So all
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the stink that probably would have accumulated after nearly forty
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: miles of walking, I didn't have to deal with that. Now,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: on top of that layer on the bottom, I did
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: wear a non sick pair of canvas pants just to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: deal with all the thorns, nasty brushy stuff. But on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the top I was wearing a fanatic hoodie, which you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: with that nice hood and the little built in hand
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: mits was really nice when it got cold and nasty
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: out there. And then also layer on top of that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was a Stratus vest. When it got really cold and windy,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I put on that Stratus vest which has a windstop remembering,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: which just completely cuts that wind and chill. So early
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in the morning when it was really winding cold, that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: was really nice. So that right there is a system
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that kept me out there comfortable, dry and walking for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: miles and miles and miles. And if you would like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to learn more about sick gear for your deer hunts
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: or shed hunts, you can visit sit to gear dot com.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And now let's go to the Iowa Camper and hear
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: those stories. Ross's nervous. I am nervous, actually nervous. Why.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I won't listen. I probably want to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: listen to this podcast listening to myself. Peter, tell me

  Speaker 1: Upper Michigan, Upper Michigan, and now I just love hunting
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and living in Iowa. Very good perimeter, Pete. You guys
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: know Corey Corey. Can you give us a quick voice over?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So do you know who we were talking to? I'm
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: doing well, Corey is doing good. Andy Bradley has never
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: been the podcast before, Andy podcast. I'm very excited. You
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: don't look like it. I'm not that excited, but but
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm here, so it's good. Josh is with us again.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: He was on a podcast recently. You're an old prono. Yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: second time should be a piece of cake. Now and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Ross you're back, I'm back. Thank you for letting us
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: check hunt your properties. No problem. It was a good time.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Which it was a little bit better, but it's been
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: tough here. It's been a little bit tough. So we
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got here. You're me and Dustin. Dustin is not with
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: us now, he's he's with us, but he's not in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the camp and he had to go home. But me
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and Dustin got here three days ago and we walked
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the property. Mind and then what else? Ross got here
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that night, Corey got here that night, and then Andy
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and Josh showed up last night. How's the shed hunting
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: been tough? Yeah, I would say challenging. Explains the different feed.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: It just sounds more professional challenge. Yeah, it's definitely been
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: hard because we've had a year with mild temperatures and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: minimal snow. It doesn't allow the deer to kind of
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: yard up so that the antlers are spread out, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it's been a lot of walking. Andy wants to tell
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: us about that right now, based on look the face.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: He wants to tell us it's still better than Michigan.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna complain. But I think Corey did
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just make that up on the fly, So do you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: think so? No, it sounded good though, Yeah, it was good.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I do. Tell us more about what I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: do or now. That actually is probably why we've had
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a tougher time that. Uh, the deer not concentrated very well.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And uh, I think overall deer numbers seem to be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: down a little bit as far as overall signed, but
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I mean they're still definitely still deer, but it's just
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: how many of the deer are still holding. That's true.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: We've we've contemplated that all weekend. I honestly don't know.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: There's there are some still holding them, so that's uh.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Some say some say fifty. Altho the deer we saw,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: we're not holding. We're not holding right, we've seen a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: single antler buck. Yeah, and we've seen we've we've seen
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: over a hundred deer and uh, we have not seen
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: one holding. So so who has found ailers? Say I?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I who hasn't found anilers? Say I? About half of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the group has. Yeah, let's uh okay. So no one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: cares about day one because none of you were there.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's just me and Dustin's gone. But Dustin found one
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: shed in the first day. We walked one of the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: properties I have permission to hunt on and also shed
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: hunt and it's a great looking property, but just nothing going. Corey,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you found a bunch of their last year with me,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: which was encouraging. Five that day. Um, I thought we
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: could pull that off again this year, but it didn't happen. Yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and that was day one. Tell us about your your
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: thoughts on camping though that first night because me and Dustin,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: me and Dustin went shed hunting and then we came
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: here to the campsite and you were driving, and we
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: hadn't figured out how to get the heat in the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: camper yet. I mean and Dustin were sleeping in a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: tent rot or. Corey was gonna sleep in Ross's camper,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: but the heat has not been figured out yet. Tell
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: me about your thought process. As you were driving, we
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: called you to tell you that the heat may not
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: be working, and you were like, I don't know, we
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: might be going to the blank in hotel. Where was
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: your head? We have to we have to set the stage.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So I was making a seven hour drive and it's
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: now after nine o'clock at night, and the temperature outside
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: about twenty five degrees with a with a stiff breeze.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was, well, it was later, but at that
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it was it was very cold, and um yeah, I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: was let's just say, I if the heat was, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't sure that the heat was gonna
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: be on Russ that it was, and uh, with the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: heat on, I was, I was all in. But as
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: soon as these guys informed me that there was no heat,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I decided that I might want to stay at the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: local hotel. But I did decided to change my mind
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and come here because eventually the here pressure. Yeah, it
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: was pressured, and uh, it worked out just fine because
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the heat didn't come on and it was rather it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: was big miracle. Yes, was the miracle that you had
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to turn the propane on. Isn't that? No? That really
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it really was a miracle. We had propane was on,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: everything was on. It just took it took like twenty
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: minutes to a weird long time and go. But it
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: got real nice once it was. And then when you arrived,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: we're grilling New York Strip steaks like ten thirty night,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: dustin eight one with his hands and just piled right
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: into it. It's two pieces of bread. It was good.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The food was good. So what what do we do
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the next day? That was? That was Thursday evening? Well
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the next day Friday, you guys weren't here. Where did
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we walk? Obviously we can't. What did we do? We
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: walked the cedars and then oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the cedars. So the morning was good. Alright, Peter, you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: found the first shed of the day. Yeah, I found
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the first shed. Talked to us about that. You guys
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: really scarved up the good stuff right away. So I
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: kind of stayed through the outskirts. I'm kind of a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: veteran here, older pretty close to yeah, closer to fifty
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: than thirty. So we noted that you're almost at the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: age you could have been my dad. Yeah, and I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: used to live in your part of the world, so
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: we ruled that out. Yeah, yeah, somewhere near you guys
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: look a little bit late to come see you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it's close to somewhere out there. I'm not sure where,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but so I could have patted you on the head
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: as a youth. A youth, Yeah, it's a youth. So
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: now I uh, I doubled back because we kind of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: went down the road and all came back and it
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: was getting pretty steep, right was. I walked back to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the perimeter and next to the gravel road and there
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: was a shed, what fifty yards from the automobile, just
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: at the perfect angle where you couldn't see it from
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the road, but when you saw it from the perimeter,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: it was like just stood right out about a two
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and half year old shed. Nice shed. It's a good way,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a good way to start. Yeah. Five point told me,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: how many of those has do you found this year? Uh?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Just one other? I get about thirtys in Okay, Okay
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and then one shot I did find was last year's shed.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So we were walking what was that was the cedars there,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and the cedars are up on a hill and then
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: down the hill right ross, then you've got these corn
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: fields and everything. What was the scenario there that? I mean,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it was a pretty good setup. Yeah, there's a lot
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of a lot of really good cover and it's a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: good wintering spot. And then a lot of the deer
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: from the area kind of head into that cedar thicket
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and then they crossed the road and head out into
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: some corn fields across the way. So it's always good
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: every year, but it always depends on on how hard
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the winter is, obviously, and this year it was really mild,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: so so I think we did pretty good finding a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: few in there. How does this compare to all your
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: past shed season as you've had her ross? This is
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the worst ever? Yeah? Worst ever? For sure? Decided it
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: was Josh's fault, right, I think it's Mark's fault. Actually, Okay, Yeah,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I'm finding that I've been here in past good years though, Josh.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: But you brought Josh so well, that's true. What is true?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Brought you two? That's true. It definitely can be me
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: So last year this time, how many sheds have you found? Ross? Oh,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I don't even know at this time, probably probably forty
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: or so forty some And how many of you found
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: so far this year? Half? Yikes. And that's not just
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: your personal that's you and your wife totally. Last year
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: we found sixty. This year we probably won't find I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: don't think we'll find much more than thirty. So you're
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: down to your final ten sheds. Yeah, yep, yep. A
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: lot of factors and the play as you can walk,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it all depend on how the year plays out,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and this year's not playing out very good. So well,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: all right, So what happened from there? Who else found?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Who found? The rest? On the next one? I found
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a little four point side and then pretty boring. It
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: was boring, boring, and then un dust found and then
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Dustin found that one one chewed up one that would
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: have been a really nice shed, Yeah, would have hadn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: been all chewed up, because that was pretty sweet. It
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: was good brow time and pretty heavy mass all the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: way out. It was nice and nice handler. So we
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: walked the cedars and with a group of six of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: us because it was us plus Dustin plus Dan Dan Johnson.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: He was the entertainment Mr co host Dan Johnson was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: there for a while and we were just kind of
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: scouring working lengthwise that whole seedar thicket which looked like
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: great betting. And we went went across the road there,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: walk across the ground. Didn't find anything. Wow, we did
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: find that one walking out dust. He found like an
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: ancient Yeah, that one that was seven or eight years
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: old or however old it was. He's a much look
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: at it anymore. But it was almost like like as
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: big as a beer can, like bass. It was heavy,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: always six seven inch bases, really heavy. Yeah, and he
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: found an old one today. I don't want to talk
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: about it. I'd rather not talk about it. Please. It's fine.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: It was that that thing took the cake though, I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: mean that's pushing it had to be. I mean, that
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: could be like ten years old. That thing has been
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a special story to that ship. I can't believe nobody
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: else has found that shed before Andy get sloppy seconds
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: on that shed. Not everybody finds a shed that somebody
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: else already found in the woods. See, I've done that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It's kind of true to his nature. Though he likes
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: who found that last year I did did. Yeah, I
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: found it down there in the bottom. I saw it
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: from like sixty yards away, and no, it was it
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: was a ways. It was a ways. I mean, well, okay,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: forty yards, but it was ways. And um I went
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: down there and got it, and of course looked it over,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: and it was it was significantly cute, whether faded, it
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: was just not not quite up to par. So I
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: figured I'd leave it for the tree reds, finish it out,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: or leave it for somebody like. I couldn't keep it,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that I can cherish now
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that I know you tossed it away like garbage. No,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: it didn't notes. No, I'm gonna the better question is
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: had I not said a word and anyone say they
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: would you have kept it? Either way, hanging, I do
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it right now, without a doubt. I'd sleep with it tonight.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: The first time. I wish I turned around. They're all
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: laughing at me. That's true. You get ill. Probably I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: do kind of feel bad about that. I didn't sure.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get over. It's fine. I think can
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: go back. I think it was honestly just the shock
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: that I saw something that I had found last year
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and left there that you had it. I was impressed.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So I guess when I fall shock, you wouldn't laugh
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: at me. That's no, that's not healthy. Let's just move on.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I really do a follow it that I did pretty much.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It didn't It didn't ruin it at all. Okay, But
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't. Corey was a little something. He was
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a little He was like kind of suspect. We got
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: there today, kind of not really wanting to watch this place. Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand that. I was a little you were down. Yeah,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the first place we walked today, it was I was
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: an optimistic The confidence level was not there. I'll give
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you that. No, we actually talked about we need to
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: bring a backpack follow sheds and like the place a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: couple out for you. You bring my spirits up when
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you get in the know in the depths of despair,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: we can kind of bring you up a little bit
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and keep the energy lettle high. I do that with
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: my dogs sometimes. That's good. Yeah. Well, after we found
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: all those in the cedars yesterday and Dustin found the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: ancient one, we kept walking more places that afternoon and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: found nothing, and then the whole morning this morning, same thing.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: So we've gone almost twenty four hours without the shed.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So then but then you then I who found the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: first one today? Well, I don't know, we don't know what.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what time he found his, but yeah,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you must you probably found first. Yeah, what was the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: situation there? That was just like a basically we were
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: walking this big point with a ridge top and um,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I took course, got the top top of the ridge.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: And why did you get the tough of the ridge?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I got well, I got well, I got the top
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of the ridge because a few people here said that
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: that I should have senior No, no, they didn't. It
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't a seniority thing. It was just that I think
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: they realized that I was in the kind of depth
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and sere they didn't. They didn't want it in the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: day to be miserable, so they we were losing Corey. Yeah,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it's what friends do. So they sent me up top
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: and he was gonna go scouting his other honey prop
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: in like you're breaking the wolf pack. Yeah, the cardinal
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: rule of abandoning the group mid day and there was
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a chance that you were going to head home early. Well,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: he made the cop and he's like we don't find
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: more sheds, I'm going home tonight or he's going to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: hit it. That's your right, but always going to go
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to guardments that that's a whole other story. So anyways,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I got up top and there was about a that's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: probably three or four acres of kind of I don't know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, a bunch of rose bushes and
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: grassy area and kind of open. A lot of sunlight
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: gets up there, and a lot of deer sign and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I did find a nice five point side off from
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: a three and a half year old, So that was
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that was encouraging and help finish out. It brought me
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: back and help finish out the afternoon. It really got
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: everyone kind of amped up again too, because the square
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: altracking a little bit. Yeah, and then you found it
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: at the same time. What was that? Just small five
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: point side I probably wouldn't have seen it, so I'm
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: glad you found. I didn't real because it was like
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty yards ahead, but yeah, it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in Peter's line, but that far out it was well,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I'm getting older now, my eyesight isn't what it used
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to be. That it helped him out, look like a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: iceberg on the hill. It did pop out like that,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the white down It looked just like an ailery. It's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome, amazing that. I love it when that happens.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And that was it, isn't it that? Those are all
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the sheds we found? Oh, except we saw we got
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a road shed. Yes, Peter, tell us that story your
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: road while the way were stacked like mule in this
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: uh process vehicle driving around looking for sheds and mostly
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: kind of scott property. That's always fun to do. And
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: UH drove by this place and there was a gentleman
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and a tractor and the senior gentleman was driving the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it's like a club cadet cubodaboda, yeah, side by side,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and they had a big dead cow there, so it
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. But we kept on driving by
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: slow and there was a shed just in his ditch. So,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: like good people we are, we stopped and talked him
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: before we grabbed the shed. And yeah, it kind of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: told me that I could have it. So it's quite nice,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: good experience. But we were not able to gain access
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to the property to shed hunt because I tried best
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I could. What's your what's your what's your angle? How
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: do you get shut hunting? You know, what's you know?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: If I don't use Ross, I don't use Ross as
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: my angle. Um, I like to talk about the service
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I can provide. You know, do you have tractors? Do
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you have tractors with tires? Do you know how expensive
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it is to replace a tire? After I say a
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: shed angler goes through it and we kind of go
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: on that little tingent. So how many times does that
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: work for me? Twice that I expected it. But yeah, no,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the guy and the other property have east to hear.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He he says, I want you out there because I've
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: lost two tires in the last three years, so so
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's a true story. But he marketed to me
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: basically instead of me marketing to him. So that work, Yeah,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it does. It's it's a good angle. I mean, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: encourage your listeners to to use it. Peter, you are
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: a listener. I listened every week. Unlike some of the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: guys here. That was a blow. I mean, I've known
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: you the least, I guess, but many if anything, that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: should just make me feel bad. Yeah, it's good. Thank
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you Peter for listening to me. I enjoy it. It's good.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: It's good, Josh, Andy, you've never shed out of an
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Iowa before. You just got your first day in today, right,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think about Iowa?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: It's like much hillier than what you think, but at
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the same time, because it's pretty flat actually where we're
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: at it at least Okay, the train is a little
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: different than you would imagine. You expect corn fields and
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: a little flat, you know, a little bit flatter. But
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it was a good day other than when everybody laughed
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: at me. Why do we laugh at you because I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: found it shed that already been founded. Well, he made
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: up for with dinner, so that was nice. Yeah, I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: brought everybody. I brought food for everybody, so to be fair,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you can come back. Okay, Josh helped with the meal.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Those are some killer Elp burgers. It's very good. Oh yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: we packed that off the mountain. Packed it off a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: mountain a year ago. That was fun. They were actually
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: just beef. But I told everybody there else. Now you
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: guys know the rest of the story. Josh, what do
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you think. It was a good time. You know, we
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: had we had fun and laughed a lot and stayed
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: warm by the fire. Tonight was Chilian chili again tonight.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: But even though we on, we found a couple today
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and ah, it seemed a little slower than than maybe
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: what you think of when you think about Iowa and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: you come out here and you you find a bunch of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: sheds all that stuff. Um, it's still a lot of fun. Though,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I'd come back if I'm allowed back. Oh yeah, he
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: could be the issue though I know I could be
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the issue. So this year we have five sheds, right,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: five total sheds, six total sheds over the course of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: three days. Is that right? I have to you have
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to Ross has to korey as one Dustin has one
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: plus the old one. Really if you want to count
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that one. So so we have a little more than
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I wasn't doing the math. What is that eight? Yeah?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Seven or seven or eight? Let's see three four seven? Yeah,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: that right, it's a couple of years ago. In two
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: days we put up like twenty six or twenty seven
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, this is it was a lot of fun.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It's definitely at least fifty down, I would say, if
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: not more, Yeah, I mean for total numbers. Yeah, but
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's about a good time, handout with friends, We're
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: sitting here eating milk Burger's cold beverages. Six dudes crammed
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: into a little camper, sir, cool, that's good, that's cool, right.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I can't get any bear in that, and he's got
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: his hand in my leg right now, Cora, what's your
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: best shot hunting advice? My best shot hunting advice? Uh,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: just keep walking, honestly, I mean, don't don't get I
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: would say, honestly from from me, try not to get depressed,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: because I'm one that just kind of gets down and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: gives up a little bit too early. So try to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: keep positive outlook and put the miles on the boots.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: That's honestly the best thing you can do. Now you're
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: telling me today, that's a little bit depressing for you
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: because you used to live in Iowa for a while
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and now you don't, and you don't quite get to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: enjoy ship hunting the same way anymore. Yeah, it's nice
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: when you live here and you have you know, two
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: three hours in the evening after after school or after
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: work or something, you can just go out and walk
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: forty acres in an hour and maybe pick up one
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: or two antlers. And you do that twice a week
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: for eight weeks, you know, from February one till the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: end of March, and you might pile up antlers in
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: a year. You know. That's that's a lot of fun.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Whereas if you you know, like nowadays, we get to
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: come out for three or four days and you hope
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: you can find a few. It's it's definitely a different experience. Absolutely.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: How did you guys get into shid hunting? I don't know.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: We definitely did it before. It was cool, yeah, for
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon came along for me about it. Yeah. The
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: first shed andler I ever found was March of oh eight,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: so it's been about nine years ago. I guess now.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I think I got into it maybe because it was fun,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah I did get it, Yeah, yeah, because
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I think I started going out with you, I think so. Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I found the first shed about forty yards from a
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: tree stand they had here in Iowa. That the first
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: year I hunted, I found a nice, big, like fifty
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: three in four points. I was real nice to real
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: nice andler, and um, so of course I got me excited,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and I kept walking and found two or three more,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and I just took off from there. I guess. So
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you had a good little journaling system that you use.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: That's that was a good idea. Yeah, for a while there,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I don't do much anymore. Every antler I would find,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I would write down the date, the um, the location,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: you know, the description of the antler, how it laid,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: what type of rain I found it in, like if
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: it was in a fence row or a grassy strip
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: or you know, in the timber where it was. And
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: then that way I could always go back and look
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: at the dates that they were dropping and and kind
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of and then the locations I was finding them to
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: have a kind of an idea of wind to gear
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: my time, you know in the woods, to know wind
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to go. And also I can look back I would
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: say percentage wise and say I was se the antlers
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I found in this type of train versus that type
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: of train. So it was pretty I thought it worked
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: out quite well for me. So if you could only
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: pick one day to go shed hunting a year, you
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: had to pick, like what you think is the appolute
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: best day to start and end your shed hunting for
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the season. What would be the best day based date
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: date based on what you saw, Probably about March eight
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: tenth somewhere in their eighth I'll say, why is that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: this week spot? Just because I mean, as we just
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: talked about this weekend, I still do think there's probably
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: a few bucks holding typically, and you might still see
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: one mid March, you might jump on with antlers on,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: but by about the eighth or tenth of March most
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: I would say, you're probably in the eight or more
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: have already dropped, you know, by like the tenth of March,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: eighth of March, somewhere in there. The trick is, though,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the trick is in some years, I mean mild winter,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you know, low stress, they could carry on an extra
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: week or two longer than that. Even I mean, it's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: really hard to tell, but my journaling, it seemed like
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: every time I would look back, when I look back
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: in my journal, like right about in February, it was
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: really when it picked up. And then I would say
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: it was the best obviously the first two weeks of March,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: so that Russ you kept track. You guys do cute
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: trek with the dates of all your sheds, right at
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: least you used to. Yeah, just because we probably all
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the pictures and stuff like that. Yeah, because Kendall at
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: one point, your wife had draft all the sheds you
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: had found in the dates, and she sent this to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: me and it was really interesting to see the distribution.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: It was inverse bell curve. Okay, so tell us about that.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Tell us what you guys have seen when you've had
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the most success. I think that was probably because at
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: least in this area or this area a lot of
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: that there would be those early sheds that you'd pick up,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: and then it would be slow. Um through February, there's
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: more snow, so we weren't picking up as many. A
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: lot of the bucks held until like that mid February time,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: then started shedding more frequent after that. Then we pick
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: them up more after towards you know, end of February again.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: But I think it was kind of a combination of
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: like January, those early sheds then got slow because bucks
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: weren't shedding as much, holding on and more snow on
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the ground. Then snow starts melting, more box are shedding
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, That's what I'm guessing was what
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: what would be your best day if you had to
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: pick a date, like I told Corey, probably yeah, probably
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: any time when, Yeah, just depending on that that snow melt.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Snow melts, you know in March. Typically it wasn't like that.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: This year it's been no snow. The issue is if
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you wait too late, though, then you get chew Top
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Bantler's or you get other people that walk out right.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: It's like we're constantly debating that an ideal year, you
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: want heavy snow from you know, early January all the
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: way till the last a couple of days of February
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: and then about a week to ten days for it
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: to melt and then you get out there. That's ideal,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't always happen. Speaking of hunting, does does
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: anyone else think about shed hunting at different parts of
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the Are you outside of shedding season and think about
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: how awesome it is? And then like eight hours and
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: to sheds? I hate this? Why are we doing this? Yeah?
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Ross talks about hunting October one. I do. I do
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: start thinking about it usually, Adam start thinking about until
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: after the rut. I would say, for me, it's right
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: around Thanksgiving, Like once my excitement for the deer hunting
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: starts to fade just a little bit, that's when I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: started thinking about sheds. So October two, no, I said,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: like after Thanksgiving late late November, early December. I wouldn't
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: said think about sheds before that too awful much, but yeah, yeah,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I think about him a lot like early to you know,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: you see what what the farmers are planting, what's where
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: all that stuff? Start brainstorm and what's gonna be good
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: throughout the year. Peter, what kind of ships and advice
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: do you have? You're wise, you're the elder statesman of
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the group. Have younger friends that knock on doors. It's
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: kind of the first advice. So Ross is really good
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: at that. Well, Sid he's been generous, so I appreciate that.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: But lately I've kind of got my own my own
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: place is kind of eased to here, so it's been
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: been good. Um uh so, just like you said in
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: some of your other podcasts that the first few knocks
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: are difficult, but once you do it, and uh, because
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a chiropractor, I do have a living living Ilana
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: have a patient base that is farmers, So just start
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: casual conversations with him and before you know what they
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: long you just walk in the property. So it works
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: out pretty great. Yeah, access is one of the very
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: most important things you can be great at. Spotting antlers,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and you can know all the right spots to go
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: on a property, but if you don't have a property
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: where there's deer quality food, you know you're not gonna
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: find any others and it out there. Just like deer running,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty simple. Get a bunch of places and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: then leads during the game. Ye, Peter, you've got an
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: interesting story. Um, we'd like to talk about your story
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: becoming a deer hunter. You grew up in the up Yeah,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: shooting deer de Yeah, it's pretty typical. Probably a lot
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: of listeners before you learn about hunting. More. We had
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a hunting camp by twenty with a fireplace in the
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: middles created by stone and we talked about the what's
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the lights there? Kerosene lights? And I just remember those
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: days going out there when I have seven eight and
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: basically you would Uncle's but smoke. We'd ever close in
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: the same building, got to the stand weeks before, maybe
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: two weeks before. Just throw a corner and honey was
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: something different. Then it was more, but it's still about camaraderie.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: But it was just about getting out there and seeing
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: what came in and and being from Upper Michigan, it
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: was generally a four corn or spike, occasionally a basket
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: rack six. But I'll never forget those memories, that's for sure. Yeah,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: so russy, you you got to know Pete in school
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and you invited go hunting with him. You invited him
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to go hunting with you. You had like a tree
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: stand in your bow, and you're all ready to go
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: to hunt some public land. Tell us about those first
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: hunts of Peter. I'm not. I saw him in class
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: once and he just feel bad for him, you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: old guy. Yeah, needs a younger mentor take him out
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: in the woods. And no, I don't. I don't remember.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know a group which just got
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a group of hunters. Yeah, he showed interest in hunting,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: and the I'm like, you want to go? So we
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: just went off to some public land. I had an
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: area I was going to and Peter head. Do you
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: recall what I was wearing? Tree bark? I think what
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: two thousand six? Good old brown It was a browning
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: bow from like my brother had from seven or eight.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: The whole setup, I like that, the old setup. What
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: what kind of arrows? Just lay it out for us.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not a techie, so it was there were bow
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: and arrows. I think I bought the cheapest broadhead score
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: in college from Thunderheads from Thunderheads Thad and probably a
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: twelve dollar trigger. And you're guaranteed that Peters were. He
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: never had their arrows cut down, so they were probably
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: about four and just too long. Yeah, right, And then
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: being from Upper Michigan. I'm not gonna blast Michigan, but
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: you guys do it enough. But from from the biggest
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: park I've probably seen was a hunter inter Yeah, Roscoe's
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I saw one twenty. I was shaking like a leaf
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: up on my tree stand, right, and he's like, settle down,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: that's nothing, Like, go, what do you mean that's nothing.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest deer I've ever seen. So that was
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: that was the learning curve. And once I saw that
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: was hooked. I mean because at that point I had
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: bow hunted in since I was nineteen, and that time
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I was thirty five, something relatively brand new to this again.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So is it true? Is it true, Peter that once
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: you were using a climbing tree stand and about up
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: into the tree you lost the bottom of the climber. Yeah,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't use twine. So yeah, that was comical. How
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: did you get out of that pickle? Befortunately Ross and
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I were we tag team a lot. Then he would
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: sit the tree next to me and you know, and
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: we would do that and he climbs down and he
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: was very cautious. Ross. He took him like twenty minutes
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: to climb down. And I'm hanging after dear life up top.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Good thing. I've got strong triceps and big chest, handsome guy.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Is it true you're once a male model? Yea, this
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: is true. Yeah, tell us more about that, like a
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: serious model or like what kind of basically this podcast
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the farm, Peter Fleet Farm, it's a fleet farm. And
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: did some bank commercials bank commercials. Yeah, I didn't know this.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: This is a relation to me. It was tough stuff.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I said all day, all along with they want in
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a pool with this lady. It was nicely At that time,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I was twenty four and my mom goes, my mom
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: wanted a wife and kids. I said, well, here's this
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: pictures prove as I got one. So yes, yeah, so
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: it was fun. Do you have a scrapbook of all?
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: I am sure somewhere, I mean, yeah, come on, I do, Yeah, okay,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: thank you? Yea. Is it in your truck right now?
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: It's not in my truck right now. It's uh, it's gone.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: It's gone. It's no longer with us. So, oh my gosh,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: tell us some more funny Peter hunting stories, Ross or Corey?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: What are the crazy joy you go together? I fall
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: a lot. That's the funniest part. Remember in the up
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: and I was hunting. I was carrying the salt block
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: in my bow and something else probably hunter pouds of
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: corn on my other shoulder, and I frill down a ridge.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Just tell about it. Yeah, So I'm susceptible to falling.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Big tree fall hard. It's a big tree fall hard. Yeah,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: so go. Speaking of twine, he had like, well, the
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: one time he lost the bottom of this, I probably
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: told him, hey, don't you think you should connect those
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: two together? It's fine? And he lost that bottom section,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and so he was up there dangling right. So I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: climbed down and he's up there twenty feet he's just hanging.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: He's thinking, oh, I think if I just hang here,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I can just drop down and land on the bottom solf.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna grab the tree, drop to the tree
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and hug it like ye. That thinks, only a good
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: idea side to move my climber over and to climb
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: up the tree, lift his section up, get him all. Well,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: you took a picture as first though, every Yeah, I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: did take pictures. And then there's another time the same spot.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: It was a really good spot where you hunting public plant.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: We saw a lot of big bucks there, didn't I
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: use the same twine to pull my bowl up? Yeah,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: he broke and uh he had this like twine I
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: don't know where he got it from. It's like three
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: ft long, tied his bow to it, and was climbing
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: up the bowls like swinging back the forth thing and
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: against the tree. And he gets up to the top
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and of course the twine breaks or comes comes loose,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and the bowl falls right to the ground, browning. And
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: so Peter climbs down, grabs his bow, ties it back
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: onto his three ft twine, nds up the tree, bangs
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the bow around to the top and it drops down
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: to the to the to the ground again. And uh
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: he did that like three times. And Ross never makes
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: a noise when he's like, this guy's making a lot
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: of noise. This guy is making a lot of noise. Yeah,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: we still saw because I'm like a magnet. I think like,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: just get a rope, Yeah, just get a rope. Yeah,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: you stick around this guy. Oh yeah, it was fun.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: That's good time. Remember the the time I went in
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: by myself and I said, what would Ross do? Oh? Yeah,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: you go. So it was a Sunday and roscoes, are
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: you going out? Yeah? I'll go out there. We had
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: scouttered this place. We we gave it the name Lines
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: then because it was just massive rub on a tree
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: and looked like it had to walk up on this
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: pedalstal first and just rub. Like what's the movie? Help
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: me out? What's it? Yes, but list the name of it?
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Goes up in the big rock and roars. So anyways,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: back to the point, Uh, so I'm out there and
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I go. I saw about go buying some of these spots.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: We'd have to use calling tactics to get them in,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: because you know, you're you're hunting forty yards from the
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: fans line and you're using you can see him, you
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: can call him in. That's we were really effective with
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: that earlier back then. And I saw like a small
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: buck go through and I could barely see the wrangs,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: and god, I wonder what happened if a big one,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: if I could really see it. Sure enough, ten minutes
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: later on que probably one forty class walks through, and uh,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: at that time, I didn't know what I won forty
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: class meant. But I go home, Oh my god, that's huge.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I go, what would Ross do? At this point? So
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I I realized I dropped my grunt to if I
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: snort or something like that, A lot of stuff falling
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: from I go. I just like, oh my god, and
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I just did like a roar because I didn't want
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: to do a smart ways. Well, once you know that
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: damn thing stopped and turned around and came all the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: way in. Really yeah, so it gets better. So the
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: buck has had about eighteen yards maybe, let's just say,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: and he had to jump the fence. It took his time.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a shaken. I mean, I'm shaken bad, and I
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: have this browning with probably ten percent let off, and
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just excuse me and pulling it here, DearS, not
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: in my spot. It's not it's for anybody else. They
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: would have shot it not for me. And uh, I'm
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: shaking so bad. My finger hit the trigger. Slap that
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: thing right, and it's right, and it's key star right
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: in the butt. Wasn't the fun your finest hour? The
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: hunter one? And I watched the run down the hill
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: and it basically it's like he reached back to and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: grab it, pulled it out. It went in maybe an
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: inch right, and that we caught the true canter buck.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was so. I went out there next day,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: did my due diligence skip class, and I never saw
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: him again. But that was a good deer about what
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: great experience, A lot of fun. What about the other
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: story where he called you Ross and told you he
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: shot up buck and you asked him, what did it
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: sound like? Tell us, I think we've got enough stories
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: about I really want to hear that. That was another
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: public land spot, the same same public land, but a
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: different tree. So yes, ioway, you can you can shoot
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: some big deer on public land. Definitely in the west,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. We found a we found a buck
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: bed kind of like on this point, and we were
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: in there scouting and then we're both like, oh man,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: we gotta get in here. And I think Peter, you
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: went in there really shortly after that next morning or whatever.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Ross and I would trade again. We trade trade hunts.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: You want me to continue, Yeah, this is your story.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: You're pretty good at telling it. So I So I'm
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: out there in this stand. We're one of our big
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: things is go deeper, go home, and we're deep on
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: this spot and kind of like my teenage years anyway.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And so I'm back there and again we gotta use
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: calling tactics. But I'm actually texting, texting Corey and remember that, Yeah,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: I go. I said, I gotta stop because I think
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: I hear a dear rubbing a tree down. You couldn't
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: see him down the ridge somewhere, and so I do
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: a soft grunt. I actually had my grunt to at
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: this time, and sure enough, all I see his times
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: coming over the ridge on the other side of the fence,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: and he gets over and jumps and at this point
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: this is a he's all one pointer. I mean, that
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: was awesome, and comes over. He's staring right through me
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: because I'm in a cedar tree, and he moves and
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: turns and I draw back. Now I have a newer bow,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: and but I was seated in a ladder stand. I
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: had to turn to the kind of cock eyed almost
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: like gangster style, you know, imagine a guy who pistol
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: a gangster style and I shot and uh, I thought
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I hit it. So I call Ross. I'm pretty proud.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: He goes, uh, and he knows Ross and knew I've
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: not shut a buck with a bow yet. And still
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: and he goes, what. It's all like Peter, because you
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: know he's excited. He's getting a canoe already, and uh
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: he went to ding ding ding ding ting. I go,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: must have went right through and just shale through the woods.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: He goes, no, No, I'll be there in a minute.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: So it was kind of one of those things where
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect because I have not
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: shot the deer. What's the noise I supposed to make? Ross,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: not that I had that canoe strapped down. It was
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: all pumped. He's like, I shot a big a pointer
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: and then that he told me that later on. So
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: I just drove up there with the canoe anyways, and
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: we looked around, but that are skipped for miles. So
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: the next day you hunted there and as as a yeah,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: I saw him. I saw him. I don't know if
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: that was the next year, a couple of flidays, Yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: and he came out. He kind of did the same thing,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and but he came out a little further out. He
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: was suspect in the open. Yeah, yeah, but boy, that
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: was a big buck. That was a dandy. Do you
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: think it's big eight? Thing's gotten worse out here since
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: those days. I feel like there's a lot of talk
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, early two thousands, three four or
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: five six was like the glory days in Iowa and Noledge.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Things been going downhill for you guys who have been
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: hunting here that whole time. Have you seen that? Yeah,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: you know, especially because we're hunting. We're hunting ground that's
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: not like tons of pressure. There's it's tons of pressure.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: You know, a few hunt permission, there's lots of other guys.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: He used to be better hunting, but it just keeps
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: getting little out there. The land has changed ownership, so
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: now there's a guy with food plots out there on
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: the other side, but they're disturbed it. I think way
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: too much used to be all. Yeah, So it's some
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: of that's changed the landscape. There's so many different factors,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: but there's definitely less dear, definitely less mature dear. It's
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: just not quite the same. It seems like it's a
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: little worse every year. Hopefully that rebounds or comes back.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I agree, it's still better when than when I lived
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: in Upper Michigan hunting though, so I'm not going to complain. True, true,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: And do you think you'll ever come out here in Odiowa?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I may. I got a few spots that I've been
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: trying to hunt in Kentucky and how yeah you wanted
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: until that was your Is that your first, well one
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: of your first hottest state white tailed trips? Right? Well,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: we have done Ohio a couple of times, I guess
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: once down a little bit. Kentucky was awesome. It was
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: just the way they didn't work because all it was
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: it was like still two mild more on that weekend,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, it was like I think it was
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: the seventh of November or something. The first day that
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: I was down there, it was like I think it
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: was like eighty degrees or something. Just it was like
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: something it might have been seventy. It was just it
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: was earlier than the month because they're like that first second.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: It might have been that first week because it was
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: like literally I remember I had a T shirt on,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I had to I used my climate stand and I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: had to had a T shirt, camouflage T shirt. I'm like, oh,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna stink the place up. With a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: long sleeve shirt on, I'm gonna be a little bit
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: more visible. But I saw a lot of deer down there,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't it just I have a lot of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: dose but in little bucks. But I can't wait to
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: get down there and try it again, because you know,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: a weekend is not enough time, you know what I mean.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: I did. I had a long weekend basically, And when
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: you get down there and try to scout something and
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: set to stand, you know, how did you try to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: tackle it? I mean, giving you such a short amount
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: of time, did you have a game plan going in
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: or we're just gonna go walk it? Or I actually
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: instead of walking it be And they only had a
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: couple of days to do, I kind of thought it
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: would be easier to two one of the first hunts
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: to get somewhere where the wind. There was a cabin
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: on the property that I hunted, so I set up
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: to where my wind would be basically blowing towards that cabin.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: It's kind of what I thought, And and as I
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: got it, I saw some deer moving, and then adjusted
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: from there and then I hunted those you know what
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I saw from from that one morning, basically used that
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: for my gauge, you know, gauge and everything off of that,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: which you know, obviously could have been the absolute wrong
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: thing to do. But I saw a lot of deer
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: and it very easily could have come together because I'd
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: see deer, I doze, and you know, bucks following him.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: But it's just I think that weather just turned him
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: off a little bit. I would have been, you know,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five degrees cooler, it might have been a different deal.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: There's a guy killed a hundred and fifty eight inch
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: ten point from what I hear, three hundred yards from
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: where I was setting up the last thing that I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: was there. I think I showed you the picture of it.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, I definitely want to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: get back down there and do that. And I've talked
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: to the guy and he said the September it's it's
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: a go. So when we tried it again, yeah, it's
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be here for I know it, I know what,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: seven months away. That's crazy. So you're hunting here again
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: next year, Corey. Yeah, as long as I can draw
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a tag. You get a game plan. Oh, I don't know.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: I mean I got a general idea of what I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: want to do. I mean I hunt the same general
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: area each time, so I kind of have an idea
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: of you know, how the deer used the farm. And
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: there's two different trees I want to try this year, though.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: One I've I've sat in this within about forty yards
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: of there, this one tree half a dozen different times,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: and every time it's just this is one of those
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: trees where the trees I've been near in nearby I
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: always get I can get a shot. But this particular
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: tree just has been intriguing. It's an oak tree, as
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: you guys know, that's my favorite. Um, but I'm gonna
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: try to hang a stand on that tree and and
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: then um, there's one other area of the farm that
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't really hunted much. I might try that, but
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: the same general area, so I kind of know, hold on,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: it's just a matter of putting the time in right, Yeah,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: just putting the time in exactly at the right time
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: and putting the time exactly that's the trick. Yep, yep.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: So we got one more day of the shed hunt
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: here what's the game? One walk properly yours corps in
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: the morning. We're gonna go there and walk a couple
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: hundred acres in the morning and hopefully find something, and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: if not, we're headed home. I guess not our best
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: shot hunt. But we had a heck of a good time.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've been laughing a lot. Yeah, best shed
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: hunting memories? Any good ones other than what we've been
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: talking about here, Any crazy things that have happened in
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: the past. Hm. I had to give my biggest Michigan
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: shed that I ever found to Andy. It's pretty cool,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I'm proud of it. Yeah, I actually through
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: the one way that I found hard to give me
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: because it was the match. I have it on my Yeah,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: it's on my counter right walk in the house right there.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: I just about the dog have the other one. But
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: that was nice you. I didn't know that was the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: rule in Since then, we've gotten rid of the rule.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Did you just thought we'd all call the Andy Bradley
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: effect because it was so painful. I might I'll bring
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: it over like next time when I come over and
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: look at this, check it out. Yeah, come from I
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: don't know, No, I definitely did. That was honestly, I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: think when we were in school. I looked that up sometime,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: like when we were shed hunting. I don't know if
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I have somebody I think I was. I was on
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: like a forum and I think I was reading about
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: guys popular. I think I was reading about guys shed
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: hunting and people posting pictures, and somebody in there posted
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: a picture of a big antler that they had to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: give up or something. I've been like, why would you
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: give it up? And then I started reading more and
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: heard that that was an unsaid rule and just I
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't like that rule. You know, I
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: don't like it anymore either. Yeah, I love that rule,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm torn. Like I think, if a guy,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: if you're hunting, if you're with a guy on his
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: farm and he's had pictures of the deer and he
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: has history with the deer, and he finds a side
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and you find the other side ten minutes later. My
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: thoughts are, the guy that's hunting the deer, that could
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: kill the deer should keep the shed, or at least
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: you keep it for the time being. And if he
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: ever does kill the deer, obviously gotta give it up.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: But um, that's a tough rule. I mean it is.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think if you're hunting ground that like nobody
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: in the group can ever hunt or kill a deer there,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: then it should just be you find it, you take it. Um.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's kind of tough. So there's a
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: chance that you may get it back someday, but no,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: it's yours. No, no, I have to give it back now. Yeah,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I mean there's no guilt involved here. Right. He starts
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: it off with the biggest shed he's ever found in Michigan.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't that big. It's pretty nice. It's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: over fifty four point side. I mean it's pointer match
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: that type. It was nice, it was sweet. That was like,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: that was my best day of Michigan every four Yeah,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: which is for Michigan. The diaper party, paper party, course,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: diaper parties, right, big wild that day of it was
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: a shed hunting and then the deer Turkey Turkey classic
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Buffalo wildlings. Yeah. Sure, it was fun and we talked
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: about it. We're gonna do it again, We're gonna go
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: out sometimes we talk dear periodically. Yeah, what is it year?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Two years later, now knowing it once every two years.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, I was hoping we'd have like stories
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: of twenty five sheds to talk about today, but really
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a home once of a whole lot of that.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: But it was basically this. The last three days we've
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: done this sit and talk about deer hunting stories and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: laughed a lot and had a cold a couple of
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: cold beers, and a lot of good food. We had
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: it all you can eat fish Friday last night. That
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: was incredible. They have many of those all over the state.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Very good. Please edit comments Peter used to see. Peter
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: used to film a bunch of weird hunt and he
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: would have these really weird commentary and then he would
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: they're sending to me, he's mounting that don't. What did
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I say? There's two bucks fighting? Scratch that there's a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: buck mounting a don't, because that's what was happening pretty
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: sexy up in that part of the woods. It must
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: be at least said to me, just be like, please
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: audit the comments, please addit comments. And with that, I
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: think we're just digressing. So we're gonna shut this episode down.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: But it was a fun shot hunt. Any final thoughts, Josh,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: when your first eye was shot, it's fun. I'd like
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: to come back. I'll make the drive again. Maybe maybe really,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I know, get here a little earlier to do, like
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: a long weekend or something and have a little bit
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: more time. But uh, definitely, definitely a good time. Peter.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Final thoughts, I just enjoyed having you guys come up.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: And you know what, years ago, I Ross moved away
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: and I had all this property to myself, and I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: went a hunting by myself on these properties. I didn't
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: realize he would drive three hours to come hunt, so
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: he got so mad at me. But just stay off
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: the properties without your body. That's kind of my advice.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: A girl scared me. Uh, it's a great time, but
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: everybody made it down. It's pretty awesome that we could
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: get everybody together and do this because we haven't talking
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: about it. That's pretty great. Yeah, so I'm disappointed that
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: we didn't have a better shed hunt. But um, make
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: sure you guys check your phones in the next couple
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: of weeks. I'll be sure to send you some pictures. Yeah,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: we know you. Next weekend, to be exact, he'll have
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of more defying I'm sure, you'll find a
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: few more, Andy, what do you got? Not much? Man,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: it was a blast. I'd come back and do it again,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: for sure, a little more if it was a little
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: bit warmer sleeping in that tent, you know, I was
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: expecting to be a little bit more of a maybe
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: not like a Colorado or an Idaho trip where you
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: could just stay warm. But no, it was a blast.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: We had a ton of a ton of fun and laughed.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: And I never make, you know, gauge success on what
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: we kill or catch or or fine or whatever, because
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: just be bummed out too much. So that had a
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: good time. I'll do it again, for sure, Corey. Yeah.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty much saying more and more of
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: the same. But it's nice hanging out with everybody. It's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: always fun to, you know, get out there and walk
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: and had a good time. And well that we'll wrap
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: it up tomorrow. We're to find a dozen sheds, yes,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll do another one. Yeah, And with that we
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: will wrap this episode up what what very well may
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: have been our most bizarre episode, but hopefully enjoyed coming
