• 0:00
  Here we are, Boat Cycles podcast, been the first one in a
• 0:05
  while that we've both been on. The last one had a guest
• 0:08
  feature, Mr. Travis from South Africa, and now you're back.
• 0:15
  I'm back. You're back.
• 0:16
  I wasn't in Africa, so I'm back. We'll be there next time.
• 0:20
  One day. We actually talk about it in the
• 0:22
  pod that I did out there. Yeah.
• 0:24
  So it's it's going to happen. Elvis is just, you know, he's
• 0:28
  not much for privacy. No, you.
• 0:30
  Know he's grooming. Himself, he's grooming, but the
• 0:36
  podcast is monetized now, so you're making making some
• 0:39
  shackles. Yeah, making some big, big
• 0:41
  buckaroonies. More than two bucks.
• 0:44
  Yeah, I suppose so, I suppose. So yeah, help and job hunt.
• 0:49
  Any update on the job hunt for the folks watching or listening
• 0:53
  on DSPS? No, OK, there was and then and
• 0:58
  then tariffs kind of messed that up.
• 1:02
  And Yep. So we're we're back on it.
• 1:05
  But you know it'll happen when it happens when it needs to
• 1:10
  happen. Yep.
• 1:11
  So anyway, anyone who potentially is hiring and needs
• 1:14
  a talented lady who pokes herself in those all face
• 1:18
  withdrawals, go and reach out to Brianna.
• 1:20
  Are you going to apply for fun employment?
• 1:23
  I don't know. You might as well.
• 1:25
  You paid. Next to no money, but you paid.
• 1:28
  I paid into it, of course. What do you think?
• 1:30
  Funny. What do you mean?
• 1:33
  So anyways, yeah, where to start?
• 1:40
  Obviously went to Africa, you weren't able to come.
• 1:43
  We did pod after it, but not at all really about it.
• 1:46
  We're kind of talking about other stuff.
• 1:48
  And then we had not very long about a week flew off to
• 1:53
  Oklahoma for the first stop of the year as well as our first
• 1:58
  stop of total Archery Challenge. And this is my sixth year going.
• 2:04
  So I've gone since 2019, so 6 years and actually have filmed
• 2:09
  all six years, you know, cuz we had the channel had started in
• 2:13
  2018. So we're filming in 19.
• 2:18
  What is give me, give me kind of your SparkNotes, the Cliff
• 2:22
  Notes, the review, the summary, if you will, of the journey to
• 2:28
  Oklahoma, if. I have to sneeze first.
• 2:31
  Hold on. Great, great tack.
• 2:36
  It is one I would for sure do again and I highly recommend
• 2:41
  that other people do, especially if you haven't done one before.
• 2:45
  I wouldn't, you know, necessarily say maybe jumping
• 2:47
  straight into like the more difficult bigger locations like
• 2:51
  Utah or more mountainous like Montana or Colorado are the, you
• 2:57
  know, maybe the best way to intro yourself into tack.
• 3:03
  So courses in what we're in relativity to what we're used to
• 3:08
  a bit easier as far as. He's so cozy.
• 3:14
  They were still tough, though. They were definitely tough.
• 3:17
  They definitely utilize I think the the window shots and the
• 3:21
  technical ones more here, which are my preferred Alice, you're
• 3:28
  ridiculous. My preferred favorite shots.
• 3:32
  So I think there was a lot of fun, you know, technical in the
• 3:36
  window between the trees, real sliver shots right over that
• 3:42
  log, things like that. So and then there's a variety
• 3:46
  still. There's so many courses there
• 3:48
  for where it's at. And I love the way they put the
• 3:52
  venue like right on the edge of the water for the vendor village
• 3:56
  and they really pack them all in there.
• 3:58
  So, you know, not only could you, you know, mingle with
• 4:02
  people because it's so tight, but the vendors could, you know,
• 4:07
  they could pop over to each other's and what not.
• 4:12
  And they had because it's not at like a resort.
• 4:15
  So they don't have, you know, a ballroom or a restaurant or
• 4:20
  something to do like their evening things in.
• 4:23
  So they did a concert one evening and I thought that was
• 4:26
  super cool. The Swan Brothers.
• 4:30
  Swan Boys. Swan Brothers.
• 4:32
  It was something like that, yeah, I saw it on.
• 4:34
  The flyer who were on The Voice, they were joking about Blake
• 4:37
  Shelton at the You are a ridiculous dog.
• 4:43
  He's like and just getting getting loved and pampered
• 4:46
  because we just picked him up. Yeah, yeah, he had a groom.
• 4:48
  So he, he was at daycare, he got groomed and now we picked him
• 4:52
  up. So he's very, he's very, you
• 4:56
  know, loving love and pets. And he's just a good, nice
• 5:01
  little boy. Yeah.
• 5:03
  So anyways, I thought it was phenomenal and the town itself
• 5:06
  that it's in. First off, this town names
• 5:08
  everything after. Porking.
• 5:11
  Porking. Yeah, everything.
• 5:13
  Literally everything. Girls Gone Wine.
• 5:16
  Can you think of a couple? Creamy Weiner was one of the hot
• 5:20
  dog options. I think I had.
• 5:22
  I think. I think.
• 5:22
  You have the creamy Weiner I did.
• 5:25
  Yeah, I think I did. I can't even think of half of
• 5:29
  them now. Yeah, there was a bunch, but
• 5:31
  yeah, I mean, I. But the town is amazing, so much
• 5:34
  to do there and for families like a camp if you wanted to, or
• 5:40
  you can get an Airbnb, which are great prices.
• 5:43
  Yeah, compared to some other locations we've been to.
• 5:47
  And you basically get like a little mini mansion, log cabin,
• 5:50
  but fully like remodeled on the inside for most of them.
• 5:54
  Now a lot of them have like kids playgrounds at them and whatnot.
• 5:58
  So if the family stays behind during a, you know, a shoot day,
• 6:03
  they could, you know, literally hang out the air at B&B and have
• 6:05
  lots to do. Or there's bowling in town,
• 6:08
  there's petting zoos in town. Like there's just so much to do
• 6:12
  there. Surprisingly, for being in the
• 6:15
  middle of nowhere, I'd say the only downfall was the fact that
• 6:19
  the closest airport is like a three hour drive in.
• 6:24
  So unless you're one of the local surrounding States and you
• 6:26
  take the drive in the fly in, you're still going to have a
• 6:30
  rental car. You can't like Airbnb to a
• 6:33
  resort and then stay at the resort and walk over to, you
• 6:36
  know, your ski lifts because there are no ski lifts.
• 6:38
  So that's the only downside to it.
• 6:40
  But that should not deter, I think anybody from going because
• 6:44
  it's such a good one. So overall, excellent first tack
• 6:48
  of the year. I'm very glad that we chose to
• 6:50
  go to that one this year. And now it's on to to Tennessee
• 6:56
  in two weeks, 2 1/2 I think. I thought you said 1 1/2.
• 7:01
  Yeah, I think I had the dates wrong.
• 7:02
  I. Think it's two.
• 7:03
  OK, well, two weeks. Yeah, I.
• 7:04
  Think, yeah, so ready for that one, too.
• 7:07
  Brittany will be at that one. And we're kind of going to get
• 7:10
  to go off and do our own thing while the the boys mingle.
• 7:15
  And so that should be fun. So yeah, I'm I'm ready to move
• 7:20
  on to the next tack. And yeah, what what was your
• 7:23
  take on it? That's going to conclude this
• 7:26
  podcast. I'm kidding.
• 7:31
  I'm kidding. No, I mean, I I agree.
• 7:35
  I think the town was excellent. I think the venue was excellent.
• 7:39
  I think the vibes were super high.
• 7:42
  I think the weather was, I mean, almost as good as it could get.
• 7:48
  It was awesome. I think one of the things we
• 7:51
  should talk about, just because it ended up being kind of a
• 7:53
  funny little part of the trip, was The Bachelorette party.
• 7:58
  Oh, geez, Martha. Yeah.
• 7:59
  You can't keep James away from a Bachelorette party.
• 8:02
  If he sees one, it's like, you know, a plus and minus magnet,
• 8:07
  positive and negative. He's just drawn to it.
• 8:09
  You can't stop them. They're gonna link up.
• 8:12
  And they did. Oh yeah.
• 8:13
  And then, yeah. So anyway, I go over there, I'm,
• 8:16
  I'm intrigued because the bride has a cast on, right?
• 8:19
  Kind of a soft cast. But nonetheless, I go over there
• 8:22
  and I, I, you know, ask about the cast.
• 8:26
  The next thing you know, I'm chit chatting with all of them.
• 8:28
  And then you get roped into hearing one's entire life story.
• 8:33
  And people at the bar just love the rest.
• 8:37
  The restaurant that like, because there was a lot of
• 8:39
  people from from tac there at the place.
• 8:42
  So everyone's kind of watching all this like chaos play out.
• 8:45
  And it was just a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
• 8:47
  And then, yeah, we were shooting early in the morning primarily,
• 8:52
  which was nice. You kind of beat the wind in the
• 8:56
  morning, which is very nice. And then we did make it over to
• 9:00
  the island on our last day. Our last course that we shot
• 9:03
  took the boat over there at 10, which was really cool.
• 9:06
  It was very windy if you were on certain sides of the slope, but
• 9:10
  luckily a lot of the course was on the on the non windy sides.
• 9:14
  That was that was nice. Yeah.
• 9:16
  But overall I thought it was really good.
• 9:18
  Got to interact with a ton of fans and just supporters of the
• 9:22
  channel and, and believe it or not, the podcast.
• 9:25
  I heard a lot of people come up to me say they really like the
• 9:28
  podcast. One guy in particular was like,
• 9:30
  yeah, I'm a cop and I work nights and I always toss on the
• 9:33
  podcast and listen to my car and, you know, several people
• 9:36
  said stuff like that. So I thought that was cool.
• 9:39
  Kind of surprised me. And yeah, just excited for the
• 9:44
  next couple of stops. Tennessee will be great,
• 9:51
  Pennsylvania will be great. And yeah, just overall, it's
• 9:55
  going to be a lot of fun. I I would say you shot well.
• 10:01
  What? I think I shot pretty well.
• 10:05
  Really. Well, I just did the video.
• 10:07
  That was the that was the first day, and that's only half of
• 10:10
  the. Yeah, but you, you got second
• 10:13
  that day, remember overall. I did, I did, and then I vastly
• 10:17
  fell off the bandwagon the next. I don't.
• 10:20
  Really think you were all that bad to be honest with you but I
• 10:25
  do think our videos from this will be quite good.
• 10:30
  We did, I believe what's going to turn out to be 7 videos just.
• 10:34
  Some great new new concepts. Yeah, a lot.
• 10:37
  Every video is conceptual. Basically every single one.
• 10:40
  I don't think 1 was just like a regular video.
• 10:43
  They all had kind of ideas baked into them and this first one
• 10:47
  that when you're watching this podcast is actually out right
• 10:50
  now. If you're catching the podcast
• 10:53
  1st and you're going to go watch it, make sure you have a couple
• 10:56
  of lollipops with you when it starts because it's a, it's a
• 11:02
  fan interaction video. I'm calling it a ride along.
• 11:06
  Shoot along is maybe even better.
• 11:09
  Should I switch it to shoot along from ride along that kind
• 11:14
  of like that? They'll ride motorbikes, yeah.
• 11:17
  Shoot along, shoot along with Boat Disciples.
• 11:21
  That's a fun name. I probably will switch it.
• 11:24
  And we just worked on the thumbnail or we're about to work
• 11:27
  on the thumbnail videos uploading right now.
• 11:31
  So yeah, it's fun. Very.
• 11:36
  Yeah, we could stop using that word, you know, like 2 weeks
• 11:39
  ago. Not a fan.
• 11:41
  I'm not a fan at all. I've heard it enough.
• 11:44
  So anyways, we had a smaller group though this tech than our
• 11:47
  usual plus size group, which I kind of liked in the way it
• 11:51
  definitely made shooting through courses a lot faster.
• 11:56
  Does make you kind of want to go out, which I thought was good
• 11:58
  because it made us go explore more this time around.
• 12:01
  So we went and we hung out with people at, you know, the, the
• 12:06
  restaurant or distillery or brewery or whatever.
• 12:09
  We went, you know, but if you have the bigger groups, there's
• 12:13
  so many Airbnbs and there's so much that they have.
• 12:16
  And like, we looked at one that had a shuffleboard.
• 12:19
  Ours had a mini pool table, which we never ironically even.
• 12:22
  Yeah, that's. A bummer, but we did.
• 12:23
  We definitely used a hot tub. I mean, I think every day except
• 12:27
  for one, we used a hot tub and yeah, we tried a fairly good
• 12:34
  amount of the restaurants and options.
• 12:39
  Bow was great. I switched back to the proven 34
• 12:42
  for this one from the Virtue. So feel good.
• 12:47
  That's the bow I'm going to be bringing to Tennessee and
• 12:50
  Pennsylvania as I believe is what I'm going to be running.
• 12:53
  And yeah, it was just fun. What a whole, whole lot of fun.
• 12:58
  The only really mistake that I had shooting wise was shooting
• 13:04
  back-to-back targets 10 yards shy on the tape and which I.
• 13:08
  Don't know if I've ever seen you do.
• 13:10
  Well, here's what happened. So they happen to be the same
• 13:13
  distance, right? So I shot the first one for the
• 13:19
  first one was 49 yards and I put it to 49 shot is so dark because
• 13:26
  it was early didn't know I just knew I missed but I don't know
• 13:29
  where and then next target come to it, it's 49 again.
• 13:33
  So I didn't move the tape shot it again, missed.
• 13:37
  Scott goes, buddy, something's wrong with your belt.
• 13:39
  There's no way you missed two shots back-to-back he goes,
• 13:41
  shoot another one. So I reload another arrow, draw
• 13:44
  back. I look at my rest, look at all
• 13:45
  my stuff. I go looks good If it fits at
• 13:48
  chips, put the pin on there. I group it right with my other
• 13:50
  arrow in the dirt underneath. I think that HLR might have even
• 13:55
  broke. And then I look at my tape and I
• 13:59
  go out. I had it at 39, so I shot.
• 14:04
  I shot for 39 yards, three shots in a row on targets over 49.
• 14:09
  And then other than that the whole weekend only had one miss
• 14:12
  and it was 1 Where I hit a branch midway you could hear it
• 14:15
  tink and then it went like steep fell off the.
• 14:18
  Swan dive down to the dirt. Yeah, I did a swan dive and
• 14:21
  never recovered that HLR either. So actually for me is more
• 14:25
  arrows lost than normal at attack with three.
• 14:28
  But two of them are goofy, you know what I mean?
• 14:31
  And then one was just like, you know, you never know, you can
• 14:34
  always clip a branch like that, especially when shots are
• 14:36
  windows or whatever. It's not that I didn't see it.
• 14:39
  The trajectory was just happened to be wrong by just a tiny
• 14:44
  little bit. Yeah.
• 14:45
  And then I think you only lost. So I I I broke or lost 3HL R and
• 14:50
  you lost what 4 vaps? I think so.
• 14:53
  It's so bad. Yeah, not bad.
• 14:56
  You did smoke a lot of trees. Though, well, a lot of arrows
• 14:59
  survived that, you know, probably should have.
• 15:02
  But the VAP is durable apparently.
• 15:04
  It's durable if you, you know, only put it about 1/2 inch into
• 15:08
  a tree. Yeah.
• 15:08
  You weren't getting when I hit the ground.
• 15:10
  They didn't survive. You were not getting much pen in
• 15:13
  those trees. No, no, you could walk by and
• 15:16
  like like this and it would just fall right out of the tree.
• 15:20
  You were getting like half the tip of pen.
• 15:22
  Yeah, yeah. But there are quite a few trees
• 15:25
  that saved me that it was like, I mean by the grace of God, it
• 15:31
  landed into this like. Stick, you did that tree.
• 15:34
  That's like this. Why you?
• 15:35
  Did that like at least three times in those tiny trees.
• 15:39
  Yeah, I don't. I don't know how but it was like
• 15:42
  it just wanted me to save my arrows.
• 15:44
  And actually, Matt did that once too, the day we did the One
• 15:46
  Arrow challenge. That would have sailed as it
• 15:49
  was. Oh yeah, He would have been done
• 15:50
  on like target three. He got so lucky and that was a
• 15:55
  fun day too. Well, I guess that was the
• 16:01
  second day we shot with him, but we ended up linking up and
• 16:04
  shooting with Ethan Burnham. I think it's Burnham, or might
• 16:08
  be Burnham, his last name. But we shot with them.
• 16:12
  Three courses. Yes, three courses.
• 16:16
  Because he shot with us our last day in the morning and then
• 16:19
  bailed. But the day before, didn't we
• 16:21
  shoot together twice or maybe just one?
• 16:23
  No, maybe just once. So we shot together.
• 16:25
  He's shot the morning course with us.
• 16:27
  So we shot 2 courses together with Ethan and he was awesome.
• 16:33
  Really good, Really good shooter.
• 16:35
  Really good photographer. Very fun vibes, really good
• 16:38
  photographer. So that was a heck of a lot of
• 16:42
  fun too. Yes, it was.
• 16:43
  You know, and I think. That's the only person that
• 16:46
  linked up with us this trick for shooting.
• 16:49
  But actually, we almost had another one.
• 16:52
  My buddy Dylan C Foster was going to come.
• 16:55
  I don't even think he was going to shoot.
• 16:56
  He was going to come out to Sick Island with us to shoot photos
• 17:00
  and he ended up getting caught up in a marathon or something
• 17:03
  like that and he couldn't get to the boat in time.
• 17:07
  He. Said he said he didn't see him
• 17:08
  running. He's well, it wouldn't matter.
• 17:10
  They were leaving anyways. Like even Matt, they almost left
• 17:13
  him right there. I was like he's right there.
• 17:14
  They're like, well, if he doesn't get here, we're leaving.
• 17:15
  He starts back in the boat up. So he would have left, but I it
• 17:19
  sounds like a ROM com scene of us leaving him just running down
• 17:23
  the thing trying to get there because I never saw him.
• 17:26
  I didn't. Either.
• 17:27
  You know, but yeah, that was a bummer.
• 17:29
  But yeah, so only got to link with Ethan, but.
• 17:32
  Now where have you met him before?
• 17:34
  Because I don't think I've ever seen him before.
• 17:36
  Ethan No. Dylan, yeah.
• 17:39
  Who I met Dylan in Be Honest with you, I think it was Montana
• 17:45
  Tech last year. I think is where I I met him.
• 17:50
  I was there. I don't remember that.
• 17:51
  It was real brief, yeah, but I did meet him.
• 17:54
  Nice guy, good guy, really good guy.
• 17:58
  And then Ethan, I had met probably in 2021 or two, maybe
• 18:05
  at Park City Tech years ago. They.
• 18:09
  Did it before they moved to solitude.
• 18:12
  Right. So him and I talked for maybe 5
• 18:16
  to 10 minutes there and I I remembered it and he did as
• 18:19
  well. Like, you know, because it's
• 18:20
  just kind of random, but it was a long time ago and since then
• 18:24
  we haven't ever like been at the same place at the same time, at
• 18:27
  least that I'm aware of. So it was a lot of fun to shoot
• 18:30
  and just overall a very a very good vibe.
• 18:36
  Now, the other thing I think that we got to dive into on this
• 18:39
  pod and remember we're kind of keeping this one 4540 minutes.
• 18:43
  Not going to be the longest pod of all time.
• 18:45
  Guys, apologize. We've been burning the candle at
• 18:48
  both ends, baby, but we're getting it done.
• 18:51
  I want to hear, and I think the audience would like to hear a
• 18:57
  little bit about your Turkey hunting experience over the past
• 19:00
  couple of years, you know. Oh, Lord yeah, everybody.
• 19:07
  I love turkeys. They don't love me.
• 19:11
  They don't love me. So my Turkey adventures here in
• 19:19
  California began about two years ago and I started I've and I've
• 19:26
  shot turkeys before, but I've shot him in, in Florida and with
• 19:30
  a gun. You know, James here, it's not
• 19:33
  about the gun life. So not that he doesn't like him,
• 19:36
  he just always shoots with a bow.
• 19:38
  So first time I went out about two years ago, it was during the
• 19:42
  fall season and took a few sits but I eventually shot a bird
• 19:48
  with my bow. All was good.
• 19:51
  He flew off but I had broke his wing.
• 19:53
  How he when we got to him, how he even flew I have no idea but
• 19:58
  he basically flew up enough to like get some air over a fence
• 20:02
  and then crash landed in the neighbor's yard.
• 20:06
  So easy find. Well, so like, I'm going to go
• 20:11
  back out for spring season, no? I believe, in my personal
• 20:20
  opinion, I always shoot at the same bird.
• 20:22
  There's multiple Toms, but I believe it was the same Tom.
• 20:25
  You know, they're recognizable with their gobble and their
• 20:28
  beard. Like they all kind of have a
• 20:31
  little different length and fullness and whatnot to them.
• 20:34
  I believe it was the same Turkey every time.
• 20:36
  So three different times I took a stab at this bird.
• 20:40
  One time we stalked up to it and you were there for this one.
• 20:46
  That was the first arrow. I launched at it and we got up
• 20:52
  into these rocks and it was only maybe 20 yards, maybe 25 down to
• 21:01
  this bird, which ironically, if you watch the video of my Turkey
• 21:05
  hunt most recently out when I shoot and something happens,
• 21:09
  those rocks you see behind it is where the bird was in the grass.
• 21:13
  And I was up on the rocks for this, this time.
• 21:17
  So I shot I thought I was going to clear underneath the tree and
• 21:20
  just collect 1 little branch, one tiny little branch that set
• 21:25
  my arrow off to the dirt. So miss that bird.
• 21:30
  So in this same season, I go back out, now I'm out with 10,
• 21:36
  get all amped up and love Ted, love Ted.
• 21:41
  But he, he really wants to get the footage.
• 21:43
  You know, like there's no setting the camera up on the
• 21:45
  tripod and letting it be what it'll be like.
• 21:48
  He's trying to get over the shoulder, trying to get the
• 21:51
  zoom. All these birds are in here in
• 21:54
  the mix and Ted's crawling around on the floor.
• 21:59
  I mean, crawling on all fours to try to get around behind me.
• 22:04
  And then he comes up. Ted's 6 foot tall in this blind.
• 22:08
  He's trying to stand and get the camera behind me.
• 22:12
  Most people know the size of a blind.
• 22:14
  It's pretty small when you stand and you're in a draw.
• 22:17
  And I could stand in this blind. He's like, I mean, I'm pretty
• 22:24
  sure I'm hitting him with my elbow in the draw.
• 22:27
  That's how close he was to me. So it was just frantic.
• 22:31
  I shoot the blind. I shot the blind, took the, I
• 22:36
  broke the little composite, you know, fiberglass bar right in
• 22:42
  half. So that was another attempt at
• 22:46
  the Berg. So then go out again.
• 22:51
  This time I'm like, I'm not taking, I'm not taking a shot
• 22:54
  unless he's right there, you know, So they come into the
• 22:58
  little pasture behind us and we're kind of peeking and
• 23:00
  looking every once in a while. It's like he's not really coming
• 23:04
  in. I'm not going to shoot him at 50
• 23:06
  yards. Well, then he works his way
• 23:10
  around, not a normal path they would take around or hadn't been
• 23:15
  around this big pile of downed trees that have been there
• 23:18
  forever. And all of a sudden he pops out
• 23:21
  in front of us and just wants to attack the decoy.
• 23:27
  Something. This is it.
• 23:29
  This is my time. He's attacking the decoy.
• 23:32
  I got him now I draw. I feel focused.
• 23:40
  Boom. I shot right at his over his
• 23:43
  back. I actually, sorry, I think I
• 23:46
  shot at this bird twice. I did.
• 23:48
  So I actually missed four times because the first time I shot
• 23:52
  and basically I think I might have clipped A toenail.
• 23:55
  So he kind of runs off and I shoot again and this is when all
• 24:00
  I got was 1 measly feather off of his back and we're like, oh,
• 24:05
  maybe I got him enough to this bird walks off, crosses the
• 24:09
  fence, stops and starts strutting again and got one.
• 24:12
  I haven't called right afterwards.
• 24:14
  He just he was perfectly fine. I was like, I'm done.
• 24:20
  I quit. I am not doing this.
• 24:24
  So I think I might have went out like one, one time this past
• 24:30
  fall season and that was it. I don't even know if we saw
• 24:37
  anything and didn't really hunt it much.
• 24:41
  So I was like this spring, it's happening, it is happening.
• 24:45
  I'm getting a bird and you can go watch the video to then see
• 24:51
  all that happened. The rest of the story?
• 24:53
  Yeah, and that one's all. That's all on film.
• 24:55
  And boy, does it, you know, go just as poorly for a while.
• 25:00
  That's the last two years have gone, but eventually, eventually
• 25:06
  it it gets it done. I was actually going to see if I
• 25:09
  think I took it off the broadhead.
• 25:11
  That just sit right here. Oh, this might be it.
• 25:15
  No, this is one of mine, I think.
• 25:17
  But but yeah, I mean it, it was a it was a journey and but yeah,
• 25:22
  we finally got it, got it done for you.
• 25:25
  And we actually got a double as well, which is pretty cool, so.
• 25:30
  It makes my shot look like, you know, child's play in the video.
• 25:35
  It's very funny because we're making this video because, like,
• 25:38
  I really want to capture finally getting a Turkey after all of
• 25:44
  the drama and dilemma that I've gone through over the past two
• 25:48
  years. And, you know, just like the
• 25:51
  Javelinas. I'm like, James, you're gonna
• 25:54
  bring your fellow the first day he comes out, he doesn't bring
• 25:57
  it. And he doesn't really care about
• 26:00
  Turkey hunting, whatever. It's like no big deal for him.
• 26:02
  Meanwhile, the rest of the world like covets turkeys.
• 26:05
  Why shot a shit load up them? So yeah.
• 26:08
  So you know. Although the meat was really
• 26:11
  good, we'll have to get to the meal we made.
• 26:15
  But so you'll you can again, all of this is in the video.
• 26:19
  But finally the second day we got there and mine provides an
• 26:25
  option. Now granted, like mine was
• 26:28
  walking at a decent pace which like you know.
• 26:33
  Not a easy shot. Not.
• 26:34
  Easy. It was downhill, kind of a tough
• 26:36
  little angle. He was moving and we couldn't
• 26:38
  really get him to stop. 30 yards is it's not far, but it's not
• 26:43
  close. For a Turkey especially because
• 26:45
  they have such like 1. This is what I'm saying.
• 26:47
  Small vitals 2. There's a lot of feathers
• 26:50
  dropping that distort where you can believe the vitals to be,
• 26:56
  especially if they're in like 1/2 strut puffed up, but not,
• 27:00
  you know, fully strutted fan out, which is even worse,
• 27:03
  especially if they start dragging their, you know,
• 27:06
  feathers, their fans or their their wings.
• 27:10
  So it wasn't an easy shot, but you know, then this one's just
• 27:16
  like, should I shoot 1 climbs out?
• 27:20
  And I won't say it 'cause, you know, we want you to go watch
• 27:24
  the video. And truly the video is what you
• 27:26
  should watch because it doesn't even do it justice to what then
• 27:29
  took place. So overall, phenomenal hunt.
• 27:34
  I will probably go out with Ted sometime in the next couple of
• 27:37
  weeks. Yeah, and film him getting 1.
• 27:42
  I don't want to shoot another one until we get Ted a Turkey.
• 27:45
  Yeah. And yeah, we got, there's a lot
• 27:49
  to do and not a ton of time, you know, because we got a little
• 27:54
  break now for a couple of weeks, but I got 9 more videos to edit
• 27:59
  this podcast. So like, you know, and then
• 28:02
  more, more podcasts and then so much stuff we're doing for both
• 28:07
  disciples challenge between, you know, making signs and different
• 28:10
  types of infrastructure. Simple stuff like learning how
• 28:14
  to use the card reader, doing an inventory to make sure we know
• 28:17
  what we have and don't have, promoting the giveaways and the
• 28:21
  vendors and the food vendors. Like it's going to be a lot, you
• 28:24
  know, but I think you and Ted, that would be awesome.
• 28:27
  You guys go Turkey hunting and I can sit here and get these edits
• 28:31
  done, but I think the podcast, you know, is a good place to
• 28:36
  leak some of these giveaways. You know, so we have a few.
• 28:41
  Last year we had a ton, like a ton of giveaways.
• 28:44
  This year by choice, we're doing less, but they're all group like
• 28:48
  big good items, right? Just to simplify things, make it
• 28:52
  a little less messy I guess you could say.
• 28:55
  Not that it was messy, but just a little.
• 28:57
  It's just a lot more to track, you know, when when people are
• 29:00
  putting into so many giveaways and so many to ship out and
• 29:05
  trying to get a hold of people and.
• 29:07
  This is just smoother. So we're going to have a diamond
• 29:12
  edge Max package bow, Really cool bow, great starter bow.
• 29:18
  You can give it to a kid, you can give it to a woman, you can
• 29:20
  give it to a dude with a 30 inch straw, 70 lbs to like 15.
• 29:26
  I think like you can do anything with the diamond and that's
• 29:29
  really good. And then the other one is the
• 29:32
  Bowtex solution LS, which is a really good bow.
• 29:36
  It's got deadlocks, flagship bow, so those are the 2 bows.
• 29:42
  And then our friends from Ultra View tossed in AUV slider sight
• 29:49
  again, 3 pin. Yeah, 3 pin with the tack bonus
• 29:52
  pin, just as they did last year. Bow Tech also did a bow last
• 29:58
  year and marsupial as well. Is going to be throwing in a
• 30:02
  bino harness tick. Yep.
• 30:06
  So that's what we got so far and I'd be very happy if that's all
• 30:10
  we do. Now if we get some other stuff
• 30:12
  that's really cool, we may do a few more.
• 30:15
  But for for just a start, super stoked with what we got and the
• 30:21
  event is shaping up really good. We got two of the three courses
• 30:25
  mapped out. We're going to go up, I believe
• 30:27
  in about I think a week, maybe a little more than a week to map
• 30:30
  the 3rd and final course. And then you and me are going to
• 30:34
  go up and do some content and some just course mapping stuff
• 30:37
  like that within the next couple of days here.
• 30:40
  So it's definitely Bo Disciples Challenge season promotions
• 30:43
  about to hit really, really hard for the next month.
• 30:46
  And yeah, just excited for it. I'm excited for it.
• 30:50
  But it will be, I think, good for for you to get in a little
• 30:53
  more Turkey hunting as well. Yeah, I do love Turkey hunting
• 30:56
  and we've got a lot of meat to still get through.
• 31:00
  So do you have? Any talk about that meal?
• 31:03
  A little. Bit yeah, So what If you have
• 31:04
  any recipes that you've ever done with Wild Turkey, drop the
• 31:10
  comment below and let me know what it is, because I'm always a
• 31:14
  fan of trying different. You know you're pretty standard
• 31:17
  in your white rice and game meat.
• 31:19
  Rice and meat. Yeah, I like to still like, mix
• 31:24
  it up as if it weren't wild game because you can do anything.
• 31:28
  It's like, you know, a Turkey is a Turkey, like a Guinea hen's a
• 31:32
  Guinea hen. That's still probably, you know,
• 31:33
  for the most part you do anything you do with chicken.
• 31:38
  That reminds me, should we talk about the skitman Travis did?
• 31:42
  About the Yeah, we. Can get to that.
• 31:43
  Sage Chicken. But so we did a crock pot slow
• 31:51
  cooker. You could call it a Stew, I
• 31:55
  guess I prefer Stew is a good word for it.
• 31:59
  But I prefer like thicker, creamier stews.
• 32:03
  Not like your watery stuff more on like the chili thickness
• 32:07
  side. But this was like a white Stew.
• 32:10
  So you use cream of mushroom with chicken broth and then all
• 32:16
  your vegetables and the the Turkey.
• 32:21
  And I do it on low for the entire.
• 32:24
  Day I thought we did high. We did high because I wanted to
• 32:27
  make sure it really like was rippable 'cause I know chick or
• 32:30
  Turkey can really tend to kind of rubberize when it's wild
• 32:34
  Turkey. Now some people have said some
• 32:36
  things like soak the Turkey and buttermilk for 24 hours, so that
• 32:42
  might be something that I try next time.
• 32:44
  But really looking for some other recipes for turkeys
• 32:47
  because we've got three more breasts in there and my Turkey
• 32:51
  was a fatty. So yeah, he was.
• 32:55
  There's a lot of meat in there to to do something with, so I'd
• 32:58
  love to try something new. But that was the recipe.
• 33:00
  It was great. We did it with.
• 33:01
  It's really good. Not pancakes, biscuits.
• 33:05
  Now James has never done this before.
• 33:08
  I think it's very normal. I will usually what I make a
• 33:12
  Stew, I will either put it on top of like mashed potatoes or
• 33:18
  biscuits or like chicken and dumplings where you make your
• 33:24
  your Stew and then you do your dumplings raw on top and let
• 33:30
  them steam and then you you have chicken and dumplings.
• 33:33
  I have just never had a Stew where it doesn't have a grain
• 33:39
  substance with it. Even even chili like I would
• 33:45
  make cornbread with the chili. I don't, I don't understand.
• 33:49
  I've never had that before. But anyway, so I did it with
• 33:52
  biscuits, but looking for new recipes.
• 33:54
  So that was that. It was delicious and it was
• 33:57
  really good. Gotta maybe I'll make my my pot
• 34:01
  pies one day with some of it. Who knows.
• 34:04
  But if you have a new recipe, I'd rather try that.
• 34:07
  So yeah, maybe we'll make a recipe book one day down the
• 34:11
  line with all the different different types of things.
• 34:14
  But yeah, talk about your. I thought it was really good.
• 34:16
  Your your skit. Skit was pretty funny.
• 34:19
  So it was like, the reason I thought of it was just because
• 34:21
  it's kind of cooking themed. But basically I, we're on the
• 34:24
  safari and I was trying to get this joke off and I couldn't, It
• 34:30
  was a train wreck. I was laughing so hard trying to
• 34:33
  tell the joke that it was like pandemonium.
• 34:36
  I finally get the joke out. Basically it's that you know,
• 34:39
  how you cook a carp is like you butter it up and do all your
• 34:43
  seasoning on a board and then you cook carp and then you throw
• 34:47
  the carp away and eat the board. So.
• 34:48
  Did you hear this joke from them?
• 34:50
  No, from the joke I had it from like Ted told me this when I was
• 34:53
  like 10 or something and I thought it was so funny.
• 34:56
  And then and then he go, I go look like a animal that y'all
• 35:01
  have and they have these, these are the like big old, they look
• 35:06
  like a bowling ball. This bird, I can't remember the
• 35:09
  name of it. I'd have to watch the the the
• 35:12
  skit. But basically we do the entire
• 35:15
  Guinea, Guinea, Guinea Guinea fowl.
• 35:17
  So what it is? Guinea Hen.
• 35:18
  Guinea Hen. OK, so anyway, we cook the whole
• 35:21
  thing, We do the slow motion montage, we got the saxophone
• 35:24
  play, and I freaking at one point chicken gets spanked.
• 35:28
  It's like it looks amazing, right?
• 35:30
  The spanking is quite possibly the wildest part of the whole
• 35:35
  thing. We got it.
• 35:36
  Surprised you guys didn't start like massaging its thighs.
• 35:39
  You got it oiled and buttered up and like, and then at the end,
• 35:44
  you know, he, he like bringing the tray over and you see me
• 35:47
  like ready to eat right? And then it just last minute
• 35:51
  turns and goes straight in the trash, man.
• 35:55
  And then the punchline is that, you know, you eat the board,
• 35:58
  right? And it was like.
• 36:00
  I don't know if anybody got that from it, but it was funny.
• 36:04
  I thought it was because when you told me the carp joke, I was
• 36:08
  like, you don't think it? Slaps that hard, huh?
• 36:13
  That early. See, I think it's such a banger
• 36:16
  joke but but. I'm gonna.
• 36:18
  Here's my question. We can maybe end with this.
• 36:21
  I don't. Know.
• 36:21
  Yeah, yeah, let's do a question. Yeah, yeah.
• 36:24
  Knowing you, yeah. And I know you.
• 36:28
  I. Already know the question, yeah.
• 36:32
  Did you retrieve the chicken from the garbage after filming
• 36:39
  and proceed to eat it? Well, let me tell you.
• 36:42
  So there is a little back story production, so I would.
• 36:44
  Like to hope you cleaned it and put a fresh bag?
• 36:47
  This is what we did. So we pulled the trash out.
• 36:49
  We got a fresh trash bag, put it in the trash can, threw the bird
• 36:53
  away, pulled it out and then ate the bird.
• 36:56
  And actually what let me tell you, here's actually the
• 36:59
  funniest part about it that you don't get in the skit is like we
• 37:02
  put no effort into making the bird good.
• 37:05
  Like we're literally just like throwing seasoning prosthetics
• 37:08
  and like different. We did not try at all to make
• 37:11
  the. Sauce is where he put on.
• 37:13
  But I shit you not, the bird ended up being delicious, which
• 37:16
  is even funnier. Now, was it a scented garbage
• 37:20
  bag? Like when you went to eat, you
• 37:22
  taste a little bit. No, no, that would have been
• 37:25
  funny, but I don't think it was. So anyway, that's good.
• 37:27
  It is a good skit. I've really been enjoying doing
• 37:29
  skits. Just put one out with Paige,
• 37:32
  like today. Yeah, today, Tuesday.
• 37:36
  And I have at least one more with her and Elliot in the pipe.
• 37:41
  Maybe even. I think I have one with me and
• 37:43
  Elliot ourselves and one with me, Paige and Elliot left to do
• 37:49
  and I had thought I accidentally deleted them which I was bummed.
• 37:53
  Because those were. They're funny they're funny
• 37:56
  yeah, so thank goodness I didn't but but yeah anyway, it's been a
• 38:01
  pleasure. Thank you for doing the pod.
