Transcript
- 0:04Hi and welcome to the TG Buck pool podcast.
- 0:06My name is Charlie Bronner, I'm Jeff.
- 0:11I am going to say week 12 but we kind of had a messed-up week
- 0:15last week, I'll just get into that right now is I'm seeing
- 0:20everything seems to be recording appropriately.
- 0:24Unlike last week, we're ten minutes in, I could see
- 0:27something was wrong and I even said something, but like an
- 0:29idiot. We just kept going and didn't
- 0:32realize till after that. The only thing you could hear
- 0:34was me talking and nothing else. So my bad, everybody who wanted
- 0:40a podcast last week. But it's all good now.
- 0:44So, yeah, enough about technical difficulties.
- 0:47Jeff. You've been out hunting.
- 0:49I think all this, we had the podcast, I did go out once with
- 0:52a Muzzleloader. I would just want walking
- 0:54through my grass, and I think kicking them out of there.
- 0:56So technically, yes, but not really, but I do plan on going
- 1:01bowhunting, yet, I went and got some camera setup again, trying
- 1:05to get the big ones on camera. I got some Corn, / salt licks
- 1:09out, we'll see what happens. I'm showing up on camera yet,
- 1:12but I do want to get adults filter freezer that reminds me
- 1:18going off script here. Sorry, uh-huh.
- 1:21I did get some pictures from my uncle's just in the last 48
- 1:24hours of big bucks on camera again.
- 1:27And I'm curious is this, that is this, that sort of second rut
- 1:31second phase, where they might be up moving around again,
- 1:35chasing doze. That Have like yearlings or
- 1:38something that have gone into heat now, or is that possible?
- 1:41Or is it just a coincidence? Do you think it's not possible?
- 1:43I could be, I mean, I guess I don't know.
- 1:47I hope. Hopefully this in your case I
- 1:49didn't seem like it on my camera that anything's happening
- 1:51whatsoever. Those are just going to, I'm
- 1:53going to eat it like during their winter modes right now.
- 1:57I have to look that up and see what, how long is this brought
- 1:59go of the second right with the Fonz and all that stuff, you
- 2:02know. So it might just be a
- 2:04coincidence but yeah, all of a sudden I don't have any cameras
- 2:08out anymore but my uncle's do and he, they have been sending
- 2:11me a lot of pictures in the last two days of oh my God they're
- 2:15back. The Bucks are back like grab a
- 2:16boat. Out there.
- 2:18No. Actually the been at night or
- 2:20early in the morning. Yeah.
- 2:23So, last week and the buck pool, we had another atom bomb guard.
- 2:28Buck up old Buck this time. You want to tell that story.
- 2:31Yeah, I sent over. I was actually surprised because
- 2:34I didn't, you know, that this late in the season but he went
- 2:37out, he's been pretty persistent and it wasn't expecting too
- 2:41much, but he's a new bow hunter and stuff like that.
- 2:43So, he's just out there trying to get something, you know, so
- 2:47we get this, deer comes in and he didn't put a very good shot
- 2:49on him, which he had met at a kind of hit it.
- 2:50Far back in time getting it'll ever, I believe.
- 2:53But he attracted thing called a, in a lot of guys would have done
- 2:56that. I was pretty happy that he did
- 2:57that, but he was out there all day in the end up finding it.
- 2:59And he just said, it wasn't a good way to shoot his first
- 3:02book, but it all worked out. And Yeah, he was pretty proud of
- 3:05it, right? What do they call it?
- 3:09The you P11 pointer, which is actually a spike horn, His Kind
- 3:14of a Funny thing, you know, kind of making fun of it.
- 3:15I talked to him at the Christmas party but yeah, he was pretty
- 3:17excited about it. It's always hard to get in with
- 3:19the ball to get one that close. So that's all see you.
- 3:22Adam? Yeah.
- 3:23Congratulations. Adam and Adam is a sheet metal.
- 3:26Apprentice? Yep.
- 3:28Local 18 Fox Valley. Yeah I think he's working at
- 3:33mulva. I'm not sure.
- 3:35Yeah. Well, he's pretty close.
- 3:36So, it's in the area, congrats to Adam.
- 3:40And, and that's really the only Buck that's gone down in the
- 3:42last couple weeks. But we have a lot of changes in
- 3:45the standings actually, since we last recorded a podcast, at
- 3:49least the first. And most important of which is
- 3:52you got your hands on Josh Andrews.
- 3:54Buck almost immediately after we recorded our last podcast.
- 3:58Yeah. I think he was pretty excited to
- 3:59get that thing scored. What should I don't blame them?
- 4:01Yeah, you want he brought it in? He actually brought it into the
- 4:03office. And that a pretty good audience,
- 4:06that's pretty good audience. Needless to say, it was it was
- 4:10really big, it's pretty neat. Seeing these things up close
- 4:13dear of that caliber but first not what was that I9 pointer or
- 4:16whatever? The hell it was like a Mainframe
- 4:17eight or nine point but man it was just mass of the tines on
- 4:20it. Almost looked like it.
- 4:22Could have come from a mule deer.
- 4:24It did. Yeah, we put the tape to it had
- 4:26a couple guys watching me and I'm coming up at 155 and 5/8
- 4:30which is now that new TG Buck will record.
- 4:33Yeah, okay. My first deer couple years ago
- 4:37exactly by 2 inches. So he's the one you want to call
- 4:41it a new one to beat now. Yeah, TG Buck pulled.com if you
- 4:45go to the all-time list Josh's picture is now on the website.
- 4:49He's the new record holder. Congratulations.
- 4:51That's those pictures, do not do it justice.
- 4:53When You See It Up and Up, in person, for an example, the G2
- 4:58is on one side. The one I was like 13 and 7/8
- 5:00inches long. And the other one was like,
- 5:02eleven and seven eighths. I toward a lot of deer, just
- 5:06kind of putts around with this. I've never had one over twelve
- 5:08and he almost had two of them. So, on the, on the one rack was
- 5:10pretty crazy. So that's obviously where a lot
- 5:13of his points came from pretty neat.
- 5:15And I know we talked in the last podcast about the fact that,
- 5:18that deer hardly has any brow tines.
- 5:20That really surprised that that's a 170 if it has.
- 5:23Yeah, yeah. Let's talk is brought times
- 5:26were, I mean, you look at the pictures of like an inch and a
- 5:28half long. I mean, normally on a buck like
- 5:29that 56 inches, you know. That's a lot of 12 points added
- 5:32on, so it's pretty crazy. Yeah, awesome.
- 5:37Buck Josh, congratulations. We are trying to get Josh on the
- 5:40podcast, have been able to quite meet up, but that could happen
- 5:46yet this week, our through the holidays, like this.
- 5:47Everybody's got stuff going on or just busy busy with work.
- 5:51So we're doing our best. So also had a chance to get out
- 5:55to Rapids last week and get your hands on Justin Beck's.
- 5:58Yeah, that was kind of book. That was cool that me and you
- 6:00both worked it out that you had to go there for something.
- 6:02And I have to go there for something separate and we just
- 6:04kind of worked it out that Justin was there also.
- 6:07So we brought it as Buck rack and I had some time I went back
- 6:11by the gets Brothers, in that trailer in the back by Rapids
- 6:14and put some tape to it. And that's another one that it's
- 6:17just so massive, like the thickness of his rack.
- 6:22If you look at all the scores, As you can stuff.
- 6:23He's, I think that's the most circumference on those aged
- 6:26measurements. I've ever had, almost pushing
- 6:28six inches on that. So that's where his points came
- 6:30from the mass and then Josh is what the was the length, so it's
- 6:34pretty neat. Yeah, his came in at 140 and
- 6:36eight and I put some inch ahead of Mike, why inverter, at that
- 6:40time for second place. So yeah, so Mike's good fallen
- 6:44down the chain here. Yeah, Mike unfortunately had a
- 6:48rough week last week got knocked out of actually well knocked out
- 6:52of the top three and also knocked out of the number one
- 6:55spot. But again I would say I would
- 7:00gladly be in Mike's position one at last year.
- 7:03S biggest buck ever but still a tough week.
- 7:07Yeah I know I'm Mikey doesn't give a shit about that stuff is
- 7:11I mean, I know he's after some real giants out there and that
- 7:14was a real big one too that he got.
- 7:15But yeah, there's some bigger ones out there so I don't feel
- 7:17too bad for him. There's he's got a he's got a
- 7:20real good property over there. He'll be back.
- 7:22Yeah, he'll be back and then you just got your hands on those
- 7:26today. Greg, where's the gun Buck?
- 7:28Yeah, this is the other one that dropped might warrant for out a
- 7:31third place. Put the tape to Greg's.
- 7:35It was 141 inch is beating Justin back.
- 7:37Switch now falls down to Third. By 7/8 of an inch.
- 7:41So, yeah, that was all the all three of these rides.
- 7:44Just so nice to get your hands on these things.
- 7:46Some Greg's had the widest track this year so far, this is almost
- 7:5019 inches wide. So it's kind of unique seeing
- 7:53all these scores like that. And you can look at all the
- 7:54score sheets and see where they compare to each other.
- 7:57That's not a thing. We started this year was if
- 8:01there's a link under the score, in the in the list there, click
- 8:05on the link in this course, you will be the right through those
- 8:06on there this morning. So I go back through the history
- 8:09and try to get those on there. So yeah, congrats Greg is in
- 8:12second place for now. I know there's a little bit of
- 8:15season left, but odds are you guys are going to be one, two,
- 8:17three. So now that you say it, it's
- 8:20pretty cool. We have kind of a unique Josh
- 8:23with the, with the long tines. And then we're is with with the
- 8:28wide rack and Justin with The heavy rack.
- 8:32I mean just the mass of that thing, three completely
- 8:35different racks in the top three.
- 8:37Yeah, yeah, pretty cool. So that means this year so far,
- 8:41we have 33 total bucks down. Seven of them have been scored
- 8:47and they've been added to that all time list on the website.
- 8:50We've got Josh Andrews in the lead at one 55 and 58.
- 8:53Where is in second at 141 and Justin in third with 140 and an
- 8:59eight, And like you just said I'd be surprised if that's not
- 9:05the final top three but there's also still what three weeks left
- 9:09in the season over no crazier. Things have happened they are
- 9:11still walking around. You never know but I don't know
- 9:13too many guys are still going out.
- 9:14I know there's a handful that I can think of, but most of us are
- 9:17pretty much closer hanging up and weapons put away cleaned up
- 9:22but we'll see. Backpacks am IA, you know, that
- 9:26kind of stuff. Yeah, right.
- 9:29So, just looking ahead. So muzzle loaders load up
- 9:33Muzzleloader season ended last week a week ago today, actually
- 9:40and archery ends. At least like the main archery
- 9:43season ends, January 8th. I think there's another analyst
- 9:47hunt coming up but that over the holidays but that really doesn't
- 9:51mean anything to the buck pool, right?
- 9:54The Sara Lee. You can still get out and go bow
- 9:55hunting during those times but Out there, and if you get those
- 10:00send us pictures to. But now they're obviously not
- 10:02going to win. I'm going to try to get want to
- 10:04get it on video and I'll get that posted on their writing it
- 10:07to kill if you want a camera, man.
- 10:08I'll have you can come with, come along.
- 10:10Sure. Be fun.
- 10:12Make a lot of noise. So the the other note that I
- 10:19have down here is we took a look at the all time list and I think
- 10:22it's pretty cool. Just to throw a few stats out
- 10:25there. We have in six years of the
- 10:27Earth's, this the seventh this is the seventh year of the pool,
- 10:3049 total Bucks have been measured going anywhere from.
- 10:34I think the smallest was around at 98 inches somewhere in there
- 10:39to the Josh Andrews hundred fifty five and five eighths,
- 10:44three of them. Three of the top ten are from
- 10:47this year with with Josh's, obviously, and first and then
- 10:52whirs is in ninth and Justins in 10th.
- 10:54But then 2 more actually to round out the top 20 Mike wine
- 10:59fritters is 11th and Mike Burger King says 18th, which by the
- 11:03way, he sent a great email to us detailing his kind of gruesome
- 11:08tale of the, the giant buck that he knocked down.
- 11:12Yeah. What was the story that I think,
- 11:13more importantly, the type of gone?
- 11:14That's, we were talking about, I want to live podcast.
- 11:16What gone it was. Yes.
- 11:17And he does stayed in there. What it was?
- 11:19It's a 270. I said that's pretty cool.
- 11:23And yeah, sounds like they got but that buck on a drive in it
- 11:27took more than one shot to bring that one down.
- 11:31And also lucky that it stayed on the property that a different
- 11:35story about. They had a river that was
- 11:36separate from the public versus private of a jump.
- 11:39That the river into the private that this deer is gone, you
- 11:43know, they can't go on there, so they were Assembling the troops
- 11:46that get this thing. And as they were doing that one
- 11:49of his buddies, thought they saw the one bedded down.
- 11:51So we shot it, like you normally would because you didn't know
- 11:54what the fun look like, ended up being the wrong one.
- 11:57Like moments later, they Mike found his deer that he shot at
- 12:01it. Actually died, like 30 40 yards
- 12:03before it crossed the creek. So so they got two bucks on that
- 12:07drive, on that drive. And yeah, and, and he did also
- 12:11say that there are people hunting that property next door,
- 12:14and he said, they have had, but X cross that Creek and then get
- 12:17shot immediately by people on the other side of the property.
- 12:20So good for him, like good for his crew.
- 12:25That they that they got that beautiful Buck.
- 12:28That's a great deer. Yeah, it is.
- 12:30I know that I'm going to try to get out there this week and I'm
- 12:33going to put try to put tape that you never know, I never
- 12:36know what. I just want to put my tape on
- 12:38it, just so everybody's consistent.
- 12:39Have the have the one score for all these guys to do the dear
- 12:42Justice thing? So Yeah, Mike said he doesn't
- 12:45think it's going to finish in the top three but it's yeah, you
- 12:48never know. It very well could so, so, yeah,
- 12:51it's been a good year so far, again, they're still weeks left
- 12:55and like I said, we've got nice bucks on the trail cam right
- 12:58now. But like also most guys, I think
- 13:01our have wrapped up their hunting seasons at this point.
- 13:04Yeah. So anybody that wants to get out
- 13:08there, probably have a lot of land to yourself.
- 13:11I would say there's a lot of rabbit Hunters already.
- 13:14Right now, Kyle guys are running the dogs, so even with that
- 13:17going on, it might push to your day.
- 13:18You never know. Are they running Hawks?
- 13:23I did talk to Frank and he is running as hawk or flying his
- 13:27Hawk quite often. It's just like I having a pet
- 13:30dog or whatever. You got to get these things,
- 13:31I'll get some exercise. And these, you have to get out
- 13:33of the cage, obviously, it's always out there.
- 13:35I don't know how many times a week but We got to get out
- 13:39there. We have our hunt with with
- 13:41Frank, scheduled for January and there will definitely be a
- 13:44special podcast when that happens.
- 13:47Maybe a video camera. We got to bring a video camera
- 13:48with hell yes. And and a regular camera.
- 13:52So we get our pictures taken with the hawk before.
- 13:55They presumably eat Us Alive as well.
- 13:58Yeah, it's pretty interesting. Can't wait.
- 14:01It's gonna be pretty cool. That, that January is kind of a
- 14:04I feel like a bleak month for outdoors.
- 14:06At least for me. I'm not a snowmobile or Like
- 14:08that or an ice fisherman. So I look forward to being able
- 14:11to get out and see Frank's Birds, go to work on a new
- 14:14hobby. Just to be Frank's will be
- 14:15Frank's flushers for his father. Just follow Frank around.
- 14:19That's our hobby. Yeah.
- 14:22That'll be pretty cool. This is all news to Frank, by
- 14:24the way, I hope he's listening. He does listen.
- 14:28So the last thing we got and it's been on the site for a few
- 14:30days. So we're not breaking any news
- 14:31but we did draw another raffle prize winner last week.
- 14:35It was a stealth trail cam with batteries in an SD card,
- 14:38courtesy of Todd Hale. Sure at access.
- 14:42And our winner last week was Brady Weidman, it's weird video
- 14:47service tech out of Central Wisconsin, who we will have to
- 14:51find a way. Well if make an excuse to get
- 14:53out there again, exactly. Well, we got to go through and
- 14:56put the tape to why inverters dear.
- 14:58So hopefully, whatever. Whenever he gets ahold of me,
- 15:01we're waiting on, has to get back from the taxidermist.
- 15:03That's what's the holdup here? So well that could be and he's
- 15:07working out of town to. He's working like six days a
- 15:08week and it's just hard to hook up right now.
- 15:11It seems like a Poor excuse. Yeah I think sorry.
- 15:18Well like I'm a lease drop it off and I can come there and
- 15:20score. It have will have an audience if
- 15:22you can't actually be there physically.
- 15:25Yeah we'll figure it out. Somehow Will you have any other
- 15:29parting words? For everybody this week, we're
- 15:31going to keep this one short because it is kind of getting to
- 15:36be the lull of the season right now to keep things interesting
- 15:39maybe have some What do we call those guys that dog guys to
- 15:43tracking guys? Yes.
- 15:45Like a for sure. What was that guy's name?
- 15:47I've been Dickie Van Dyck. Yep.
- 15:49Like to get him on I if he can't get him on, I got a buddy that
- 15:51does the same thing. I we do have some other coyote
- 15:54Hunters around here, like a Josh Gene Court those guys or anybody
- 15:58else that's into that rabbit Hunters.
- 16:00This isn't strictly about dear either we can talk about
- 16:02anything. So, I think that be interesting.
- 16:04So for a lot of us to listen to hear about this other stuff that
- 16:07guys are doing even fishing, guys.
- 16:09Ice fishing is coming up. If guys are willing to come on
- 16:12the podcast that love to have them.
- 16:13Yeah, we're trying to make this a yearly thing.
- 16:15All year, for sure. I still think Jay blowing,
- 16:23Charlie shows a good name. I don't know.
- 16:26We'll see. Actually, email me and Charlie
- 16:30if you got any requests for any names of the podcast.
