Latest / The Bow Disciples Podcast / Hoyt BETTER than Mathews!?
Transcript
- 0:00Yes, yes, That's going to be a good audio.
- 0:04So we're going to jump right into it.
- 0:05Jack here just switched from Matthews to Hoyt.
- 0:08That's a yeah, that could cause a fight in a lot of circles.
- 0:11Which, why? Why did you switch?
- 0:13Well, you know, I, I, I ran a Matthews.
- 0:16I started off with the gosh, what was it?
- 0:20The Vertex. And I really like that though,
- 0:23but I almost felt like they were too forgiving.
- 0:25Like the back wall it would, it would always creep a little bit
- 0:28and I didn't like that. I tried shooting a Hoy and I
- 0:32first time I ever drew back, it was just like right there and it
- 0:36just, it just held right there. It was really, really hard.
- 0:40And yeah, I just, I liked it. I sold my elbow and then bought
- 0:43the Hoyt, and I'm never looking back.
- 0:45So no more Matthews? No more Matthews guy.
- 0:49Well, I I don't have anything against the Matthews.
- 0:51They're great bows. But I feel like it's all just
- 0:54personal preference and kind of just shoot, try whatever you
- 0:56feel like. I mean, try whatever you want
- 0:59and then. You'll find something that works
- 1:01eventually and then stick with it.
- 1:03Facts I am a Valley guy though what he's talking about I agree
- 1:07I shot Matthews quite a few times and they're elite, really
- 1:11nice bows. But I agree.
- 1:13I mean if you relax at all they're they're they're wanting
- 1:17to come forward and like the bow text the Hoyt say don't do that,
- 1:20which I prefer. A lot of guys do like that Creek
- 1:23feel personally not not my favorite, right?
- 1:27But I mean I think about it. If you're hunting, it's like
- 1:29real cold out or something. And what if you're in a tree and
- 1:32you're holding a draw for a full minute or something waiting for
- 1:35that buck to step around. And somewhere in there he cams
- 1:38on a four, which I had that once.
- 1:40I had a bull coming in in 2018. The only bullet mounted I drew
- 1:46back. He stopped buying a tree.
- 1:47I held it, held it, held it, and I experienced just ripped my arm
- 1:51off. Thankfully right then he took a
- 1:52step or something so he didn't hear it and I still ended up
- 1:55getting them. But that right there is an
- 1:57example, I think, right of why you might not want that creep.
- 2:01Cam Haynes had nothing to do with it.
- 2:03No. I'm just curious because the
- 2:06shorts. Is that what you're asking
- 2:07about? You know Cam, a legend with the
- 2:10Shore and his whole look. I always watch him and I'm like,
- 2:13this guy has that cool factor. He's just way cooler than he can
- 2:17do anything, get in his truck. Just the average thing.
- 2:20But if he does it way cooler. Than.
- 2:22I wouldn't be as cool. Yeah, you bump your knee or
- 2:26something. I don't know why people have
- 2:28that cool factor, but I don't. I have it like very minimal you.
- 2:32Know very mid. Yeah.
- 2:35Yeah, Brianna looking good. She got her Zen beanies and
- 2:38rewards. Yeah, I just figured, you know,
- 2:40there's a bunch of hats going on.
- 2:42So I was like, guess I better just, you know, put a hat.
- 2:45On but it is. October.

- 3:13That's true from the OG. That's true way back
- 3:16technically, but yeah. More or less from the That was

- 3:21Ted, and you were probably right there.
- 3:24Third place. Pretty cool.
- 3:26Before that? Was that before or after the

- 4:11Some hats. Finally, finally, finally got my
- 4:13way. Is that camera?
- 4:15That camera went off. We'll keep it rolling.
- 4:18Go and fix that. Did you already spill on
- 4:19yourself? Yeah, that was first verse.
- 4:22Yeah, Jack was talking on the very first question I spilled.
- 4:25So it's on brand for. Me.
- 4:28Now we just have to wait for you to throw the drink over.
- 4:30No, Yeah, it's going to be. He's going to go to put his leg
- 4:33on the table. It'll be over.
- 4:35It's going to get kicked or yeah, without.
- 4:37It he's going to kick the table, nothing will happen.
- 4:39Here's the question. How long have you been spilling
- 4:41drinks? Because as long as I've known
- 4:43you so I was a kid. Do you remember?
- 4:44Like I was a kid. You spilling stuff.
- 4:47Like, I can distinctly remember spilling the milkshake at Red
- 4:50Robin in the mall. Yeah, the day of Ronald's
- 4:52funeral. Oh, really?
- 4:53Yeah, I just. It's in my head.
- 4:55You know, I remember that I was a kid.
- 4:57You know that's right. You still spill?
- 4:59Yeah, regularly. Has that always been a thing for
- 5:03you? Like, I think, I think it's more
- 5:05of a recent thing, maybe the last half decade or so.
- 5:08I just started tipping stuff. Here's why I think it is.
- 5:11I like efficiency and doing things quick, right?
- 5:14So I think sometimes I go to I'm in a rush doing something too
- 5:18fast, trying to be slick and then yard sale the rock stars.
- 5:21Some people call that careless. It could be.
- 5:23You call it what you. Want.
- 5:26Yeah. Clumsy.
- 5:27That's fine. That's.
- 5:28Fine told me no. But then again, he almost put a.
- 5:31Pair of scissors through his toe.
- 5:34Yeah, trying to be efficient. I was cooking the other day in
- 5:38the. Kitchen.
- 5:39Yeah, I was cooking and scissors cap can delivered over the edge,
- 5:45straight to the tip of the toe. I thought I lost that toe.
- 5:49I thought I was going to have to go in there and get a digit
- 5:53sewed back on, you know? Then it quickly became my fault
- 5:56that the scissors landed on. Of course, she the only one
- 5:59here. I got to blame him Something
- 6:01that's. You or Alby?
- 6:02Yeah, might as well be me. How's the diet going?
- 6:06Diet's good so. What is?
- 6:07Tell us what it is exactly so Carnivore.
- 6:10Got it? Of course Joe Rogan.
- 6:11Baby got it from Joe Rogan. It's essentially you eat only.
- 6:15Oprah for men, Oprah for men. That's a great way to put it.
- 6:19He'd been cancelled more times than me, which is hard to do,
- 6:22you know? But yeah, now it's good.
- 6:24You eat only animal products. So for us, a lot of wild game.
- 6:28Beef, chicken mixed in here and there.
- 6:32And then eggs. No oil.
- 6:34So cooking with butter and yeah, it's been good.
- 6:38Also, you can nibble on like pork rinds if you want, which,
- 6:44yeah, it's crazy. You look at the ingredient list,
- 6:47it literally just says like pork rinds and salt.
- 6:49That's all. I said so.
- 6:50You know. What?
- 6:51Well, my first attempt to try them, he had like, covered them
- 6:55in some sort of seasoning. I over salted them a little.
- 6:59You didn't just like. Take them out of the bag.
- 7:02The bag. They were raw on that one, so
- 7:04just no. Those aren't as good.
- 7:07You get like spicy ones or and stuff like that.
- 7:09Yeah, good. So yeah, as far as we're about a
- 7:12week and 1/2 in been feeling really, really good energy
- 7:17phenomenal until I find like I wake up at 6, go to the gym,
- 7:21feel great until I eat my first meal, which is like 11 or 12.
- 7:25Probably I'll have whatever could be like 2 deer steaks or
- 7:29two elk steaks or ground and eggs.
- 7:32After that, I'll get a little tired for just like a little
- 7:35bit, maybe an hour. And then it kind of comes back
- 7:38up and is super consistent from there, so.
- 7:41We said it was interesting, so we talked about this the other
- 7:43day and. He has that effect, but I'm
- 7:46like, same thing. I don't get up when he gets up
- 7:48because I'm not a morning person.
- 7:49So I'm actually angry because it is like, I'm waking up like wide
- 7:52awake, But I like 4:00 AM, not 6:00 AM and so but whatever.
- 7:59Then I'll sleep in, get up, get ready for work.
- 8:02And if I don't eat or take something with me for work, I
- 8:05find that I'm super groggy until I do eat something like.
- 8:09So I was feeling super tired when I got home.
- 8:11Then I ate that chicken. I feel good, no?
- 8:13I'm fine, yeah, I find it the opposite but.
- 8:16Are you guys eating more often? Because I always feel like when
- 8:18I when I would eat, like, you know, some ground meat and
- 8:21veggies and eggs, I need a big plate and I'd be, you know, full
- 8:25for about an hour. But because it was so clean, I
- 8:28think it just, you know, moved quickly, didn't have that heavy
- 8:30food sitting, and so I'd be hungry like.
- 8:33Not long after are. You eating more?
- 8:35Frequently. Or is it still just, yeah, what
- 8:37meals? More, more meals.
- 8:39But we found like a small plate and you feel not full like
- 8:45overly full. You just know when you're full
- 8:47and then it it seems to last like I guess you would say a
- 8:51long time, but really you're just eating like four or five
- 8:54small meals a day more so for him because I'm, you know, I
- 8:58leave for work and whatnot, but like never that like.
- 9:03In a state of ketosis, like starvation, like stomach pains
- 9:09feeling. Yeah, like you're just satiated
- 9:12and then you eat because you know, you've only, you know,
- 9:15maybe had 100 calories. Calories down?
- 9:18Yeah, yeah, it's kind of crazy. Like I feel like I'm eating a
- 9:22ton, like you know, because like you said, it's a half pound of
- 9:27ground and like 3 eggs and then two full deer steaks and some
- 9:33pork rinds. Like, it sounds like a lot, but
- 9:36I just eat until I'm full and then that'll last a lot of
- 9:40times, like 6 hours or something and then I'll eat again a
- 9:43similar meal. All your meals are somewhat
- 9:45similar, but I find that it is lasting.
- 9:49And another thing is like just feeling better.
- 9:53And for me, y'all know everyone in here, except maybe Jack knows
- 9:57I'm a gassy boy most of the time, right?
- 9:59On this, I'm not gassy at all. It's crazy.
- 10:02Wonderful. Yeah.
- 10:03I mean. Well, I think that's just all
- 10:05the processed. Your body just was never meant
- 10:09to see. Oils.
- 10:11Now you're having to you know, it takes more energy to digest.
- 10:14That's why you, you know, you eat a big meal and you just,
- 10:16like, go to the couch. You know, you don't.
- 10:18You're less productive, even if at work, for example, you know
- 10:21your afternoon stent is just, you know, on the decline.
- 10:25But when you're eating clean, yeah, your body process it.
- 10:28There's less waste and then less energy to use it, and then
- 10:32better energy from it. I think.
- 10:34I think the question that's on everybody's mind right now is
- 10:37how are the constitutionals did not, not bad.
- 10:40So I'm I'm like, I don't feel like my bowel movements have
- 10:43been any different really. Are they sometimes harder?
- 10:49Soft about the same. Sometimes they'll be super
- 10:51crazy, but that's like only a few times.
- 10:54I don't know like what time. Does it cheat your owns?
- 10:56Maybe I'm going to. Say maybe it's when you eat the
- 10:58pork rinds. Could be, but I I will say as
- 11:01far as like a a a weight loss thing.
- 11:04So I went into it, but I did go into it eating a lot because I
- 11:09was like, if I'm going to do the challenge, let me like, really
- 11:11bulk up and try to, like, inflate the numbers.
- 11:14So I got up to like 194, which is like probably the heaviest
- 11:16I've ever been. And I weighed in a week later
- 11:20was 186. And it's crazy because just
- 11:24watching myself in videos or pictures or hearing what people
- 11:27saying, a lot of people have been like, dude, you look so
- 11:30lean or this or that. And I can see it like I just
- 11:32look like less inflamed and like tighter.
- 11:36That's a lot of it too. You you, you might not be
- 11:39necessarily like obese or overweight.
- 11:42But you're inflamed. Yeah, I think the first week was
- 11:45like, I've only, so I started the same thing.
- 11:47We weighed ourselves the end of the first night.
- 11:49So the number was a little skewed because it was the end of
- 11:52the night, but whatever, maybe a pound and a couple pounds for
- 11:57him. And I was 129.9.
- 12:01I'm down to 124.3 as of this is day 9.
- 12:06You just look at your wrist. Together, yeah.
- 12:11And so mine's been a little slower than his, but I think, I
- 12:14think that's to be expected when he gets up and goes to gym every
- 12:17single morning and I'm heavier. Too.
- 12:19And you're heavier, so naturally you'll shed it a little faster.
- 12:23Lighter, but I think that that first big chunk.
- 12:28Is mostly water weight and inflammation because you're
- 12:33processing out all of that nasty stuff that's it literally just
- 12:37holds on in you. Like I have noticed a
- 12:39significant difference in like I have a huge problem with
- 12:42bloating like certain types of foods and things like that that
- 12:45I just don't ever go get tested for.
- 12:48But I have noticed a huge difference in like 1.
- 12:52This, you know, side profile and then just naturally like the
- 12:56pressure feeling not being there anymore.
- 12:59So I find it great. Like could I only eat meat for
- 13:02forever? No.
- 13:04But could you do like once a month, go out and like we plan
- 13:06like I want to go get spaghetti on day 31 or whatever, but could
- 13:12you do that once a month and like you know, maybe have a
- 13:15dessert once a week? Sure.
- 13:17But like, I don't have a desire for pastas or.
- 13:21Cravings. Craving.
- 13:22The only thing at craving sweets all the time.
- 13:23Because I'm That's just you're a fan.
- 13:27I'm a fan, I. Think it's anything in like in
- 13:29moderation like we used to do the five days you know of no or
- 13:34little to no carbs. And then the weekend, you know,
- 13:37you just do whatever and then that's just how it is.
- 13:40Yeah. Yeah.
- 13:41And overall, I mean, I I suggest people try it because number
- 13:44one, I think the most important thing, I think it's really
- 13:46sustainable. Like I think you can do it for a
- 13:49long period of time And like she said, when when it's over with
- 13:52the month long strict, I you know, the only thing I really
- 13:56miss is like you guys know I love popcorn and like I do miss
- 14:00popcorn. So I'll probably mix that in
- 14:01like 2 nights a week or something, but other than that,
- 14:05like I'm not sitting there craving anything.
- 14:07So I think I'll do the same thing about 90% and then mix in
- 14:12like, oh. I mean, it's like, it's probably
- 14:14the easiest way to to restructure like the discipline
- 14:17of a diet is to go, you know, over the top.
- 14:21Having a partner or partners and accountability obviously is, is
- 14:25key. And then once you kind of go to
- 14:27nothing, now you can reintroduce one or two nights or one or two
- 14:30things here versus like just trying to trim a little bit.
- 14:33You're always going to want to just fall back to, you know,
- 14:35eating what you're. That habit in your brain is
- 14:39still there. It's not, I wouldn't call it an
- 14:41addiction, but it's a habit. And so like you kind of set off
- 14:44little. For those things called your
- 14:46brain, like neuro or. Sectors, yeah, yeah.
- 14:50You just don't know how bad you're feeling.
- 14:52True until you eat. True.
- 14:54Yeah, that's what I said earlier.
- 14:56Like today. Instead, I had a McDonald's
- 14:58sausage Patty with bacon and extremely processed eggs for
- 15:04breakfast. Completely different than had I
- 15:06made like the eggs that we had at the house and bacon here with
- 15:10natural butter like you. I just by the time I made it 5
- 15:14minutes from the McDonald's to work and got out of the car,
- 15:16like I could already feel that upset feeling in my stomach.
- 15:19Yeah. So it's like when you do it
- 15:20extreme and we made it 8 days and I had that you just like.
- 15:26You know. It.
- 15:26Turns you off. From doing it and it's easier to
- 15:29to keep going with that, you know.
- 15:30Obviously if you go out to dinner you would, you know, half
- 15:32rite some short of it. Cheat meal or something you know
- 15:35to enjoy it because this might taste better.
- 15:38Pay for it? Yeah.
- 15:39You know, Yeah. But obviously, you know, this
- 15:42should be construed as diet advice.
- 15:44Oh yeah. There's no experts, no diet
- 15:46advice, but yeah. Your experience is our
- 15:48experiences with dieting is absolutely a personal experience
- 15:52and like I said, I I do enjoy it and especially being a hunter, I
- 15:56think it's like makes even more sense to do something like this.
- 16:00You know when you it's primal Yeah, it's shout out to Liver
- 16:03King when you got you know doves or because Jack, you bird hunt,
- 16:07right. Yeah, a little bit.
- 16:10Tell me about that a little bit. Because I've never, I've been a
- 16:12hunter my whole life, but I've never gone down the rabbit hole
- 16:16of bird hunting other than like, turkeys and even those out with
- 16:19a bow. So as far as like shooting doves
- 16:22and quail with the shotgun, like tell me about that.
- 16:24So I I don't do a lot of dove and quail hunting.
- 16:28I feel like you you pretty much most people use dogs for that.
- 16:31That kind of stuff to kind of flush him up.
- 16:33My grandpa was a really really big bird hunter.
- 16:36He's from Kansas. A lot of pheasant, a lot of
- 16:38quail, some dove here and there and I actually I inherited I was
- 16:44lucky enough to inherit a couple of his shotguns some nice 20
- 16:47gauge had an over under Winchester pigeon grade.
- 16:50My favorite gun I have. But I do a lot of grouse hunting
- 16:54up in up in Montana and that's just that's so fun man.
- 16:57You just walk. Walk through the woods, wait for
- 16:59one to just. Pop out and boom.
- 17:02I mean, they're good are. You trying to do that?
- 17:04I tried that with a bow, but it's not Vince.
- 17:06It's hard with, yeah, it's hard with.
- 17:08Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but they taste good.
- 17:10Throw them up on the trigger? Yeah, real good.
- 17:13Yeah, we did that with the grouse and it was like you just,
- 17:17he did, I mean, yeah. I've got, I've got a pounds of
- 17:19meter. You get off of that, probably
- 17:21almost a pound on a. Big grouse?
- 17:24Yeah, probably almost found their big bird.
- 17:26Like about the size of a chicken and.
- 17:29I want about a pound out of that.
- 17:30Probably a pound, yeah. So the reason I want to talk
- 17:32about birds a little bit was just because, you know, going
- 17:35back to the carnivore, you know, it's it, it's a different style
- 17:39of meat you can eat other than just red meat, you know, having
- 17:43poultry. So I think that's pretty cool.
- 17:45Mean high protein? For sure, and even some small
- 17:48game like we're going to do a video soon.
- 17:51Where Brianna and maybe Matt or whoever will come out, we'll do
- 17:55a rabbit hunt with the bow and do like a catch, like a hunt and
- 17:57cook type thing of a rabbit, I think.
- 18:00I think that would be cool. Oh yeah, because I think that,
- 18:02like in hunting, at least in the YouTube space, everything you
- 18:06see is big game. Sure you don't see it?
- 18:08As small whatever is going to make the best video or yeah,
- 18:11whatever, right? So I think it's cool because
- 18:14that's hunting too. And for me, that's my first
- 18:16animal with a bow was a rabbit in 98, you know?
- 18:19And for you too. And Speaking of that too, we got
- 18:22four of us in here, all similar to age.
- 18:24Jack's a younger at 18, but I got into honey when I was, you
- 18:29know, a little tiny kid. Brianna, you got into it when
- 18:32you were 22 or so. 23 Matt. 2425 probably.
- 18:38Yeah, I think it was like in 2017.
- 18:41So I don't know what that would have been 24, 24 and Jack you
- 18:46that. Was 12/12 killed my first Turkey
- 18:49and then? With.
- 18:52Shotgun. OK, because I never did any.
- 18:54Why did I didn't know hunting growing up And then it was only
- 18:58around I mean we we you know shot BB guns but nothing not for
- 19:02hunting And it was around a bow and hunting through you and Ted
- 19:07and I would shoot. I remember I would shoot your
- 19:08bow and you know, at the ranch a couple times, but you know, it
- 19:11was just for fun And then finally, you know, got in a
- 19:16position, got through some my work and then got.
- 19:19That's enough money to go buy a bow, and I had that for a long
- 19:23time. That ranked seven, yeah.
- 19:26But and then, you know, probably about a year after that you
- 19:30think maybe went one of my first time, Yeah, I think in 2018 or
- 19:33something, yeah. Javelina and dear.
- 19:36Also, just so you know, you got, you know how many years of this
- 19:40one guiding spot in stocks and one that you know what he told
- 19:44me this year, I'm on my own. On my own, yeah, I got.
- 19:48One year of training. One year of training.
- 19:51He's like, fly the coop, baby. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:55He's like, oh, maybe, you know, every few days you'd come up.
- 19:58With me? Not.
- 19:59Exaggerating, but he's like, you know, we're rotating.
- 20:02Whatnot, but you got this, I'm like.
- 20:04I think you're crazy if you think I got this.
- 20:07I got one pretty lucky stalk and then other than that I've blown
- 20:10everyone's sense so. Well, like.
- 20:14The only time I pointed away from you and Ted was when Nick
- 20:17and I went to Arizona in the summer and and neither of us
- 20:20were successful. But we had a lot of fun and I
- 20:24think we definitely grew more as hunters by just having to figure
- 20:29it out. And like we, you know, we were
- 20:33texting James, but you were on a hunt, you're on an elk hunt, you
- 20:36know, you're available all the time.
- 20:38But we were just kind of having a trial and error, more error
- 20:41than anything else but. That experience from that is not
- 20:47that more beneficial than having you and Ted as mentors for
- 20:50years, but you learn a lot doing it that way.
- 20:52I just think it's a different type of learning when you're out
- 20:57by yourself cutting your teeth and.
- 21:00Feeling like it's impossible, but then one day something gives
- 21:03you 5% all day. Maybe it's possible and then
- 21:06maybe by the end of the trip you're to like 25% you think
- 21:09it's possible. That's a lot better than 0.
- 21:12So what I was trying to jump into though, I just don't think
- 21:17those. Birds are ready to fly the coop,
- 21:19you know, not 100, maybe like 50% off.
- 21:22I was like, maybe I'll wander down a branch, but you know, I
- 21:26won't take them. You don't want to.
- 21:27Jump out. The window.
- 21:28I don't think they're ready to flap.
- 21:30But we're going to try. Well, we got too many people all
- 21:33hung together, so some of us are going to have to flash.
- 21:35It's going to be a social. You know, girl, three or four of
- 21:37us in the bed of the Polaris, and then three in the front and
- 21:41hope the. Tires don't.
- 21:43Patreon.com It's one of them. No, I don't someone.
- 21:48Needs to get a Polaris in this room and you.
- 21:50Me somebody, we got to get a Polaris.
- 21:52I know. Here's the here's the thought,
- 21:55though, right? I was saying we all got into it.
- 21:57Different ages. And I was curious what your guys
- 22:01thoughts are like if and when any of us have children.
- 22:06Do you plan to introduce them into hunting as like right out
- 22:09the gate as early as possible or do you think it's better to wait
- 22:12till they're 15/20/12? Like when do you think's the
- 22:18best time to get introduced into hunting?
- 22:21I think as soon as my child can stand up and.
- 22:24Managed to kind of maneuver around without falling over
- 22:27constantly. I will throw a little children's
- 22:31bow in their hand. Yeah, I was going to say I think
- 22:35it's if if they're interested in it that's like, yeah.
- 22:38Don't. Ever.
- 22:38I can go force them. Yeah, absolutely.
- 22:40You don't want to force it on them, but if they're showing
- 22:43interest at a young age, you know, why not get them started
- 22:46as soon as possible? It's, I mean, it's it's fun,
- 22:49man. That's kind of how you were,
- 22:51right. I mean, you probably don't even
- 22:52remember starting. Yeah.
- 22:54Dude is just always there, you know, because you grew up with
- 22:58your dad doing it before you were born.
- 22:59And so it was just kind of a natural thing.
- 23:01And I think that's probably, you know, probably the case with all
- 23:05of our different hobbies. Like our kids are going to be
- 23:07more inclined to do those while also finding their own and not
- 23:13being pressured to do something just because, you know we did
- 23:15it. That's why I wish Paul was, you
- 23:17know. Right.
- 23:18Sorry Albus, but I wish Paul was right here because.
- 23:20Yeah. Yeah, you'd like to think that.
- 23:23Like, you know, if it's around in the family and your kids see
- 23:26it's something they might naturally want to pick up and do
- 23:30pick up, but then you have, you know.
- 23:32Like opposite birds here where he, you know, took it and flew
- 23:35with it. And I don't really know, you
- 23:36know, maybe Paul went a couple times with them or whatnot.
- 23:39But then Paul found something else.
- 23:41He was more interested in biking and whatnot and and motocross
- 23:44and took motocross. I don't know what you thought,
- 23:47but you say it the right way. Is there really an R in there?
- 23:50I mean, it's a. Moto Moto.
- 23:52Moto. Why is the R not there?
- 23:54It's a motor. I think that it's just cooler
- 23:57shortened Moto X. Maybe.
- 24:00You. Know cross.
- 24:01X Yeah, that's just what you That's just what you do for.
- 24:03Shopping in the air, not crossing.
- 24:05Anything. What is motocross or supercross?
- 24:07What are you crossing? I don't know.
- 24:09I think it's just like a cool. It's a cool name.
- 24:12Alright, I mean, that's the best answer I've heard, not.
- 24:14Yeah, shout out to Brian Deegan and Hayley Deegan, Marissa
- 24:18Hayden, all the guys his. Name.
- 24:20Is many famous people. Yeah, one.
- 24:22Family. But anyways, yeah, just going
- 24:24back to it, I think that would be an interest.
- 24:26Interesting topic is just because you know when Paul's
- 24:28here. Yeah.
- 24:29Nature versus nurture, really. Yeah, absolutely.
- 24:32You know, and it probably was, he was around it and then just
- 24:35chose that it wasn't for him. Which I'm kind of the opposite.
- 24:38My dad never haunted, never big hunter, but I spent a lot of
- 24:42time up in Montana with my uncle, and that's all he does.
- 24:45And you know, I was kind of watching him, seeing some
- 24:47pictures of some of the bulls that he's killed and deer and
- 24:50all sorts of stuff. And I took a took a liking to
- 24:54it. Started watching some videos.
- 24:56Started watching motorcycles. Let's go.
- 24:58You know I was there since 1500. Subs.
- 25:01That's right, OG. Since you were.
- 25:03Going to 15 or something probably. 14 Yeah, 13 That's
- 25:07crazy. Yeah.
- 25:08But I mean, it's like some people I feel like are kind of
- 25:13tuned to enjoy hunting. And I agree with that, you know.
- 25:16Fishing. Lots of different styles like so
- 25:19I grew up fishing, you know but and there's there's lots of
- 25:22different styles of hunting like some people.
- 25:25Might not like the hunting, where you are rarely even seeing
- 25:28animals, let alone successful you know.
- 25:31So they might gravitate more towards a rifle and then more
- 25:35towards, you know. Ranches or more torrents like,
- 25:39you know, guided hunts, things like that.
- 25:41They might not have the patience to go out and do this spot and
- 25:43stock on their own with time. Yeah, you know and so.
- 25:48Yeah. Yeah, which is, you know, which
- 25:50is a big part. There's just a broad spectrum of
- 25:53of hunting, absolutely. You know, hunting and fishing
- 25:55and just being self-sufficient. That right can take you
- 25:58anywhere. For sure and one thing I think
- 26:00that like. For getting kids into hunting
- 26:04specifically, that I think's really, really beneficial for
- 26:07children specifically is the work ethic you can gain.
- 26:11If you want to be a successful honor, you're going to have to
- 26:14learn how to bust your ass and show up every day and be on the
- 26:17field. That's what I always say.
- 26:18You got to be on the field and you know, it's like being a
- 26:22baseball player who. You know, their hamstrings
- 26:25strained a little more than a lot of the other guys.
- 26:27If if you do that hunting, you're not going to punch many
- 26:29tags. So I think, like, you can learn
- 26:31that persistence and also just how to attack life, you know?
- 26:36I think that like when I'm hunting.
- 26:39You guys know, up every morning, always out there on time, but
- 26:42sometimes you get back to your regular life and work and all of
- 26:45a sudden you're snoozing a little more, sleeping in more,
- 26:48and you got to go now. Now I got to attack this like I
- 26:51would be attacking having a bull tag in my pocket, right?
- 26:54You know what I mean? Like that, I think.
- 26:56Of hunting and yeah, that's a more like with sports for kids.
- 26:59Yeah, you know like kids play sports and and learn discipline
- 27:03and and what it takes to to be successful.
- 27:06You know you can't. Not show up to practice or not
- 27:08try and practice and then get up to the plate and expect that
- 27:11you're going to get on base. Same with archery or hunting or
- 27:14any style. You can't just leave the bow or
- 27:16the gun in the closet and then show up on, you know, the first
- 27:20day of season and expect that you're going to be able to
- 27:23deliver. It's just not going to work that
- 27:25way. So those life lessons you know
- 27:28of teaching a kid through sports or archery, which I guess in
- 27:32essence of sport, you know those those things that are best
- 27:36taught by just doing. And and.
- 27:39You know, experiencing on your own, you know with with family
- 27:42and and friends or parents that are going to teach them those
- 27:46things that like you said, are going to carry outside of just
- 27:49hunting into business, into their life, relationships,
- 27:52things like that. Yeah, and I mean, it's a great,
- 27:55to your point. I like what you said about, you
- 27:58know, with family and friends. I do love hunting by myself and
- 28:02I was talking. To Brianna about this Saturday.
- 28:04I haven't got to really like hunt by myself and like lock in
- 28:08on something since like 2017. So it's been a while, but mostly
- 28:13when you're hunting, you know you at least are at a camp with
- 28:16buddies or family or whatever. And I think that camaraderie is
- 28:21also super important learning those people skills.
- 28:24And for me, when I was younger, like Jack's age or younger,
- 28:27people would always like compliment my dad and say like
- 28:30James has such good people skills with adults and this and
- 28:33that. And he goes, well, James has
- 28:35been coming to hunting camp with all adults and he was the only
- 28:38kid since he was five years old. So of course, like, I'm going to
- 28:41know how to interact with older people.
- 28:44Just like Jack. You wouldn't know he's as young
- 28:46as he is unless we knew that, you know, and that's probably
- 28:49largely due to hunting, would you say?
- 28:51I'd say a lot of it's hunting. Definitely.
- 28:54Some of it is. I working, starting working at
- 28:58relatively young age. I worked at a golf course.
- 29:00It was a carboy for a summer when I was 14.
- 29:05And, you know, just talking to clients, learn how to talk to
- 29:07adults. But you know, ever since I can
- 29:09remember, I mean like the same type of deal other parents have
- 29:15been, you know, telling my parents how respectful I am or
- 29:18you know, how good I am at talking to them.
- 29:20I think a lot of kids are afraid.
- 29:23To talk to adults. But I've just never really,
- 29:26never really had that. You know, obviously you want to
- 29:29be respectful, but you can still talk to people who are older
- 29:33than you. But I, you know, most of my
- 29:35friends, they don't go say hi to my parents or whatever.
- 29:39And it's just very brief and kind of awkward.
- 29:41And I don't know, like I I think a lot of people are kind of born
- 29:45with that. Just the just the natural people
- 29:48skills and more. Mature.
- 29:49Yeah, More mature earlier. And I think some of it also is
- 29:54in that kind of like what you're saying, but it's your parents
- 29:57saying, you know, like go go shake their hand and go say
- 30:00goodbye to miss or misses Or, you know, when you see somebody,
- 30:03you know, shake their hand and look them in the eye and use
- 30:06their last name. Just those kinds of things that
- 30:08you've just taught. Growing up, yeah.
- 30:10But then in combination with being just born more mature,
- 30:13yeah. Absolutely carryover.
- 30:14A lot of its parenting too. Like remember my dad one year
- 30:19when I was like 7 or 8 probably, I was throwing limes.
- 30:22I was picking limes off of our lime Bush in the backyard and I
- 30:26was throwing them at the neighbors window.
- 30:28I don't know why I was doing that.
- 30:30The neighbor comes running. Down the street, knocks on the
- 30:33door. Your son was throwing lines at
- 30:35the window. Whatever.
- 30:36And I'm and and I'm in the back just shaking like scared, even
- 30:40though I I was totally in the wrong there.
- 30:42And then my dad comes home from work that day and he makes me
- 30:45get up and go knock on the door and apologize.
- 30:48And you know it's he always liked to put me in those kind of
- 30:52uncomfortable situations with adults.
- 30:54But I think that it really, really helped for the long run,
- 30:57you know? Yeah, no, agreed.
- 30:59I think, yeah, anytime in anything that you have to be
- 31:03again pushed out the nest and become like uncomfortable I
- 31:07think is when you're going to find right growth, not when
- 31:10you're just like. Doing what makes you super
- 31:12comfortable, then you're just kind of doing the same thing,
- 31:15right? But a lot of times, like if you
- 31:17think back on like real rough patches of your life and then
- 31:21think about like where you were at in that rough patch, hate and
- 31:24life. But then coming out of it 3-4
- 31:27months, a lot of times you're like, wow, I really grew a lot
- 31:30from that experience. And then yeah, also like when
- 31:33you're in the rough patch. You don't really know that
- 31:36you're in the rough patch until you're out of it.
- 31:37You know, it's like, true, Yeah, it's it's, it's very eye
- 31:40opening. Once you're out of it, you're
- 31:42like, holy crap, I was, It's a bad spot.
- 31:46Well, that's wild stuff. And I'm sure you being in the
- 31:49military probably have had to deal with a bunch of stuff that
- 31:52has made you uncomfortable or things of that, Especially being
- 31:56a woman. Would you say that's helped you
- 31:58a lot just in personal growth? Yeah, yes and no.
- 32:03I would say maybe I could say that if I'd come in, you know,
- 32:06right after college at 22 years old or something.
- 32:09But I came in a lot older at 27, so with, you know, multiple
- 32:15professional careers under my belt before that.
- 32:18So you just kind of come in with different head on your shoulders
- 32:21that you're already a bit more mature.
- 32:23So if anything, it's just a little more eye opening to see
- 32:27young college graduates. In a professional workplace and
- 32:33you're just looking from, you know, the third party or you
- 32:36know, bird's eye view at what's you know going on in front of,
- 32:39you're like, man, she almost wished like they had more like
- 32:43professional career classes in high school or you know, like
- 32:46European schools do a lot more trade schools and trade classes
- 32:49and things like that. Just where people learn how to
- 32:52be professional or how to handle your money or or whatever it is,
- 32:57teaches you to be a bit more mature.
- 32:59Not because you see them and you're like, I don't know if I
- 33:03want to talk to the CEO in that way.
- 33:05Yeah, I think, yeah. Like you're saying, a lot of it
- 33:08might not be. They just don't know.
- 33:09You know, they just never. I mean, some of it, some of it,
- 33:12you know, is just, you know, a lack of respect or they're
- 33:15thinking that that doesn't is not important, you know?
- 33:18Or maybe they weren't taught those same values, but they also
- 33:20might just, you know. Be unaware of it.
- 33:22That's not the way you do it. Or that's not how you should.
- 33:25You know, that's just generational.
- 33:28Generational. Changes.
- 33:30You know, I mean if you look at how strict parenting and kids
- 33:34were, you know, years and years ago where there was, it wasn't
- 33:37really much of a relationship. It was kind of just this was a
- 33:40parent and this was the kid and it's a one way conversation to
- 33:44where we are now. It's just, you know, it's a.
- 33:47Big scale? Yeah, it is pretty wild.
- 33:49But the people that are, you know.
- 33:52In the hunting communities and are being taught those kinds of,
- 33:56you know, habits I think generally tend to be a little a
- 33:59little better off and and learn, learn through those those trials
- 34:04and experiences, you know, and they think about like the
- 34:07experience of of taking an animal, especially at a young
- 34:11age. I didn't do that at a young age,
- 34:13but you probably did. You know that that's got to take
- 34:16a, you know, take a bit and and either shape you one way or
- 34:19another. You might be totally turned off
- 34:21from hunting. By having to do it at a young
- 34:23age. Or you might.
- 34:24You know that's part of it. Yeah, yeah, I think you're
- 34:28right. Yeah, I I cried.
- 34:29The first deer I ever killed. But I was going to say.
- 34:33It's it's yeah, it's just such a weird it feels, I don't want to
- 34:38come across as like, you know, brutal or whatever, but it feels
- 34:43natural. But it's also very like, it's
- 34:46very emotional, like it can definitely be very emotional.
- 34:49And I was, you know. I was happy that it was a clean
- 34:52kill, which I was very happy about, but still it's just
- 34:56pulling. I don't, I don't want to say I
- 34:57was sad. I mean, obviously I felt some
- 34:59remorse, but yeah, it really is eye opening for you when you
- 35:03kill your first animal. I mean, I speak from very little
- 35:07experience when it takes to actually harvesting the tag
- 35:10harvesting, but like I think the the persona that's cast from the
- 35:15from outside the honey community is that it's it's done for.
- 35:19It is not for fun, but that it's you're just killing something to
- 35:21kill something or that you're not appreciating the ACT.
- 35:25And I think you appreciate it even more from the amount of
- 35:29work you put in, from the perspective you have towards
- 35:32those animals, by being around them for so long, by, you know,
- 35:36beating them at their game there where they live and and survive
- 35:39way more than they they don't. You appreciate that animal And
- 35:43then to be able to see it in its true environment and then?
- 35:47Connect with it. You know, once you are
- 35:49successful, yeah, that that emotion right there is going to
- 35:52be, in my opinion, way stronger than someone that from the
- 35:55outside can just say that they love animals.
- 35:57Oh dude, I've always said that I think, you know, people that are
- 36:02like animal lovers or vegans or or whatever that have had a very
- 36:06negative view towards hunting and claim to like, love and
- 36:10respect animals so much. I really believe that hunters
- 36:14respect and know animals much better than people like that.
- 36:18Because for me, I know how not only tough their life is, but I
- 36:22know how smart they are, how good they are at surviving, how
- 36:26tuned. In they are sometimes like.
- 36:28Yeah, I've seen animals like crazy games.
- 36:30I don't know if you. Guys knew this, I think I know
- 36:32James does, but like there was a time right after college where I
- 36:36was think maybe mid towards the end of college and graduating.
- 36:42Was I was vegetarian, went full vegan and then.
- 36:47Because you were. I was a bit of a pita puffer.
- 36:51Oh. Yeah.
- 36:53That's wow. Yeah, Peter Puffer.
- 36:56Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, Puffer.
- 36:58I heard. You.
- 37:00Yeah, I just want to make sure we all do.
- 37:03But yeah, just I felt very sick that I'm an extreme.
- 37:09As most people do extreme animal lover and like if I could have
- 37:15100 dogs, I swear I would own a kennel and I would sleep in the
- 37:19kennel and I would sleep, but you know each night would be
- 37:21dedicated to a different dog. Yeah.
- 37:25Exactly. You can't take me to an animal
- 37:28shelter because I will sob and cry and I will walk out with the
- 37:32dog. So we've avoided going to animal
- 37:35shelters. But yes, we.
- 37:38Have. Yes, so was am an extreme animal
- 37:42lover and it is just very different.
- 37:44Like I'm still sad even like it's a different feeling they
- 37:47said when you shoot your own animal because like adrenaline
- 37:51pumping and whatnot. But like prime examples, like
- 37:53the Arizona Coos last year, like I went up and.
- 37:56Was like saying hello to the deer.
- 37:59Good morning. Like, I'm so sorry I petted him.
- 38:02I said I'm so sorry, but your dinner.
- 38:04Like I have an extreme appreciation for it.
- 38:07But it's. Different when you're sitting
- 38:10there and you're say, in a tree stand and like an air or in Utah
- 38:14and I got to watch this little spike just like play around with
- 38:18his little. Spikes.
- 38:19With the, you know, bushes that we had cut down from the trees
- 38:23and making his little scrapes and, you know, came up to my
- 38:26tree and his little bleats and whatnot, like he was just a
- 38:29happy go, lucky little spike. And you're like he's living a
- 38:32great life, you know, And it's going to take 10 seconds.
- 38:35He's never going to know what hit him.
- 38:38And then it's over. Whereas, you know, a cow and a
- 38:41cattle farm is going to have to send.
- 38:43Sometimes it's free range, whatever, but for the most part,
- 38:47like they're in pens side by side, they don't rarely get to
- 38:51move and that's how they live till they get fat.
- 38:54And then, you know, an air gun to the head.
- 38:56And that's the end of the cow's life.
- 38:57And he never even knew what being a cow was.
- 39:00But a wild animal you take from the forest always knew what his
- 39:04life was, even if they don't comprehend it because they're
- 39:06animals. But.
- 39:07I had a very like unique perspective on that.
- 39:10I think it was it was the, well, the person only type the deer I
- 39:14got in Arizona a couple years ago.
- 39:16Dandy, by the way. Yeah, very fun, very fun.
- 39:20So I checked that video out if you can, but there's a there's a
- 39:23butcher nearby. Where we, you know take took the
- 39:26meat to get processed before I drove home and that that butcher
- 39:29also processed some of the free range cattle and they happen to
- 39:33be processing that same day that I I was either dropping off or
- 39:36picking up the meat. And so I I watched them as they
- 39:39processed a few of the cows. A much different scenario and
- 39:43experience for that cow than it was, you know, for the buck
- 39:47that. Was just doing its thing and a.
- 39:50Lot of hurting them around. There's a lot of anxiety and
- 39:52fear in that animal, which like, I don't know anywhere near the
- 39:56depth of science, but if you ask some really good butchers, they
- 40:00will know. Like that adrenaline pumping
- 40:04through that animal, that fear pumping through that animal
- 40:06creates toxins and chemicals that run and then stiffen in the
- 40:10muscle as that animal dies, atrophies and, you know,
- 40:14whatnot. And it makes that meat a lot
- 40:16more tough. You.
- 40:18There are ways butchers told me about it like that.
- 40:20They get that out of it and whatnot through the processing
- 40:22time, but a wild game is never going to feel any of that.
- 40:26You know, maybe the 10 seconds that they spent sprinting
- 40:30afterwards, 60 yards, but they aren't being herded down the
- 40:33lane. Yeah, their whole life.
- 40:35Like, you know. You.
- 40:37Do. Your job and your best to make
- 40:40it as as quick and and painless as possible and then you know is
- 40:45the only the brief period and I'm not against eating a steak.
- 40:49No, I. Understand.
- 40:52I'm just saying that, you know, there is, there's no, there's in
- 40:55my opinion no argument in which. Now you know Wild game is is
- 40:59worse that's. No, Yeah.
- 41:00Yeah, certainly not. Also, you know, like there's
- 41:04there's plenty of animal death that comes from just harvesting,
- 41:07harvesting fruits and vegetables.
- 41:08And you know, like I, I was listening to a podcast somewhere
- 41:13in every soybean field, they have to kill every frog, every
- 41:16freaking rabbit, every animal who, who's living and eating
- 41:20them, their crop. Yeah, so that's someone's just
- 41:23drawing an arbitrary line at which they think the animal is
- 41:25not. Cute or big enough or funny
- 41:27enough, you know? To care.
- 41:31And that Bunny is not getting, you know, picked up and taken
- 41:36home for somebody's dinner. That bunny's.
- 41:37Going to be left as a rock. Those frogs are not turning into
- 41:40frog legs like. So when you think about, you
- 41:43know, I don't want to ever turn into a.
- 41:46Oh my. God.
- 41:48Amazing. They're amazing.
- 41:50Very good. There's going to be a Florida
- 41:51trip. I say this every pod now, Every
- 41:53time. There's going to be like a two
- 41:55week Florida trip. We're going to experience every
- 41:57type of hunting in Florida can be frog being a.
- 42:00Little. Miami.
- 42:02Little. Miami in there I went during a a
- 42:06very special week in Miami known as, like spring break, I
- 42:13thought. You were going to say All Star
- 42:14Weekend? No, I wasn't sure Spring Break,
- 42:17but it was. It was for.
- 42:24I'm getting cancelled for sure again.
- 42:27Again. Let's go ahead and redirect here
- 42:28to frog Legs. I'm going.
- 42:30To make. Frog legs.
- 42:31I'm going to do. It was a fun time.
- 42:33It was a while, but anyways, yeah, Florida, there's a lot of
- 42:38frog legs that are it's. What's the craziest thing you
- 42:41think you've eaten? I.
- 42:44Don't know if I've. Really.
- 42:45Well, no. I've had.
- 42:45I've had one that thinks pretty wild.
- 42:47I'm trying to think that's a good question.
- 42:49I don't know. I ate deer raw one time.
- 42:52I'm talking species more than crap.
- 42:54Species. Shoot, I don't.
- 42:57I don't. I don't think I've ever eaten
- 42:59anything super crazy. So I think frogs for some people
- 43:01would be crazy for all I've had. Alligator.
- 43:04Yeah. Which I'm sure you have two.
- 43:08Oysters. Yeah, those are harder to me on
- 43:11my Kentucky hub, but I said I've.
- 43:12Got a kangaroo, See I went to try kangaroo and did not get to
- 43:18try it while I was there, I was. But ostrich.
- 43:22Yeah. That's pretty wild tricky by the
- 43:24way. We have a lot of Australian
- 43:26viewership, so shout out to Australia.
- 43:28Australia in Texas. I'll fly back out.
- 43:31We sold. Let me know when.
- 43:32A lot of merch has flown to Australia, let me tell you, so
- 43:36that's one of our biggest countries that views.
- 43:38So shout out to Australian. Australia is on the top of my
- 43:41hunt list. New Zealand, yeah.
- 43:44New Zealand also we get some orders for sure, so that's
- 43:47pretty cool. We talked about wanting to get
- 43:49animals, wanting to put them down quickly and.
- 43:52Mainly very important to us at Hunters.
- 43:54I'm curious, your guys perspective.
- 43:56How much do you guys think that doing 3D shoots, whether local
- 44:01or like tack or the Bow Disciples challenge like your
- 44:04big shoots, how much do you think that helps in preparation
- 44:08for that moment in the hunt? I don't know if it being a 3D
- 44:13target shoot has that much. You know, just reps into it.
- 44:20I think it's more just reps and now like shooting at a target
- 44:24that has that kind of a shape and and the size if that's
- 44:27accurate, you know like that that can be important.
- 44:29You know like it can train you. Like for example when I the
- 44:33first time I ever went hunting I I shot a deer and I aimed like
- 44:38center mask biggest you know room for air and I miss you
- 44:42ducked it and I missed it. So from then I I bought a 3D
- 44:45Target and I went home and I basically.
- 44:48You know, train myself to shoot at the pocket.
- 44:51I struggle, I think just subconsciously on 3D shoots at
- 44:54shooting low. I don't know if it's just I just
- 44:58don't aim there, even though I know that's where the rings are.
- 45:00I think just my mind is just trying to aim that, you know,
- 45:03towards the pocket. So in that sense, it being a 3D
- 45:06target at a 3D shoot might be important.
- 45:09But more important, as Jack said, it's just it's just time
- 45:12behind the bow. But I'm going through the
- 45:14process so that. It's second age.
- 45:17You like it. Like a lot of things.
- 45:18You know when you're in that moment, there's very little I
- 45:22think you actually think about or are consciously thinking
- 45:25about. You have to already have it.
- 45:28So where like, you can now think about all the other little
- 45:30things, not how to shoot the bow, that's now just a second
- 45:34nature, instinct type thing. I mean, you can have the most
- 45:38realistic 3D target and practice on it, you know, hours a day.
- 45:43But nothing compares to when you're at full draw on that elk
- 45:47or that deer. Everything pretty much just goes
- 45:50out the window. You just have to, you know, rely
- 45:52on your fundamentals and all your practice.
- 45:54But it's just like, you know, your heart's pumping, you're
- 45:57shaking, you're probably not in an ideal shooting position.
- 46:00It's just everything goes out the door and you're just like, I
- 46:05mean, sometimes I've shot at things and I don't even remember
- 46:09like. That that whole 30 second
- 46:11interval of you know, even if I killed it like whatever the it's
- 46:15it just all goes out the window and you're you forget a lot
- 46:18about what happens. Yeah, yeah.
- 46:20I think that like aside from not the targets that are beneficial,
- 46:24but I think when you do 3D shoots that have like the
- 46:28terrain mixed in like motorcycles challenge or Total
- 46:31Archery challenge or things like that.
- 46:33I think that you're really benefiting from shooting on the
- 46:37type of terrain that you're shooting on, whether it's steep
- 46:40down, steep up, the footings messed up, You're shooting next
- 46:43to a tree. That's where it maybe becomes a
- 46:45little more beneficial than shooting a block target in your
- 46:49yard, which is also really good and important.
- 46:52Absolutely. But I think mixing in those
- 46:54variables of elevation and side slope and all that stuff, wind,
- 46:58whatever. That is the benefit, right?
- 47:02In Holden, for a long time, you really should be practicing that
- 47:05a lot too. I think, 'cause there's times
- 47:06where, like, they'll draw back, but it's not a good shot.
- 47:10They're quartering away from you or towards you or whatever it
- 47:12may be, and you got to wait 30 seconds, even a minute, until
- 47:17they you get that there's. Certainly a physical aspect to
- 47:21almost elbow honey. Oh yeah, just being able to,
- 47:24Being able to. Say, yeah, I can hike up there
- 47:27and glass and then I can hike down and I can hike up the hill
- 47:31where I saw it and go get it. That's a cardio aspect, the
- 47:34strength aspect of at the end of the day after I've been doing
- 47:38all that, now I have to draw my bow back, and if I'm in a
- 47:42situation where I have to hold it or let down and do it again,
- 47:45I can do so quietly and still be able to make a good shot
- 47:50afterwards. So like that that physical
- 47:52aspect. You know, super important
- 47:54shouldn't be overlooked as part of the training and practice in
- 47:59bow hunting. You know if if all you're going
- 48:00to, if you're a target shooter, probably not that important.
- 48:03Obviously just the muscle reps are still going to be there, you
- 48:05know, But the cardio aspect, there's not as much.
- 48:08If you're hunting. If you're hunting that, that has
- 48:12to be. Especially western hunting spot
- 48:14in stock. It's one thing if you're in a
- 48:15tree stand, yeah. For sure, Brianna just had a
- 48:20moment. On our last hunt, where she can
- 48:22attest to the importance of being in shape and being able to
- 48:25do it and not pulling a bow, that's over pounded for you.
- 48:29You know when we were on that side slope, we had a bowl right
- 48:32there. It took you a few tries to get
- 48:34the bow back. Right, took.
- 48:36I think it was five tries, yeah. So I mean we were 10 miles into
- 48:42the day probably and then we you know it's like.
- 48:48Uphill plateau, uphill plateau. And I think we're reaching the
- 48:53third plateau. So like on top of 10 miles in
- 48:56now you're hiking straight up with a backpack, you know, with
- 49:00a couple liters of water in it and your bow and and it was just
- 49:07by that third plateau. And you know, we didn't make it
- 49:10to the top because the elk was at the top.
- 49:12So we're like trying to sit, slash, stand on the slope.
- 49:16So again it goes back to like shooting that uneven stuff,
- 49:20what's not normal not a flat ground.
- 49:22So trying to like, squat there, draw my bow back while keeping
- 49:27pressure to, you know, stay standing and not fall down the
- 49:29mountain yet balance and you're. Shooting uphill and you're
- 49:32shooting uphill. So all that weight's going
- 49:34backwards when you're trying to pull it took five tries before I
- 49:38got it back and it was it was rough.
- 49:42Luckily that didn't cause me to you know miss it or anything
- 49:44like miss an opportunity that just it didn't play out that way
- 49:47with what the elk did. But it was he's he's very hard
- 49:53about this. It's gross buddy.
- 49:57But yeah, it's now I'm dumb and but we got a couple months till
- 50:01Arizona so we turned the poundage up on the bow.
- 50:03So. But see that that.
- 50:05That's a good experience too, though, because it teaches you a
- 50:08few things. One, you might be a little
- 50:10overbowed. Possibly #2.
- 50:13It's like, OK, I need to get stronger.
- 50:16Like it teaches you those things, but you don't learn that
- 50:18unless you're in the field and in those positions, you know.
- 50:20So I think that's really important to know.
- 50:23And then hopefully next time around you're you're more geared
- 50:26up for it and that happens to people all the time.
- 50:29So just getting the opportunity to put yourself in those
- 50:33positions where that could happen and then if it does, OK,
- 50:37now I got to make the. Improvements so it doesn't
- 50:40happen again, ideally. Yeah, I think, I think those 3D
- 50:43targets and those 3D shoots are huge and I think Southern
- 50:47California, I don't, I don't know about other areas of the
- 50:50state or country has a, you know, a large number of them and
- 50:54a different locations to give you that practice make an attack
- 50:58event at least one or two a year I think is great.
- 51:01Every time you find yourself in a a spot where you're like, this
- 51:04sucks, like I might I can't get any footing or like I got to do
- 51:07this or this. That should be good in a moment,
- 51:10you know, kind of, like complain about it.
- 51:13But that's that's great because now you have to think, hey, what
- 51:18would I do? Do I without the pressure of an
- 51:19animal? Do I take a knee?
- 51:21Do I like shooting from a knee? Do I shoot up from my butt?
- 51:24You know, do I Crouch, but figure it out then?
- 51:27That way you. Can say I've done this before.
- 51:30This is what worked. This is within it.
- 51:32And not have it cause an error in the situation that's already
- 51:35stacked against Yeah like not even just what you like, but
- 51:38like like what you says at then there's like what works.
- 51:42So like especially for me with a slow bow and a big arc like we
- 51:48had opportunities I just didn't take because we were unsure and
- 51:52I think we could have and I think they were pretty unlikely
- 51:55that they would have been successful.
- 51:57So good thing that we didn't send it, but is knowing like
- 52:01what you what your bow and its capabilities and limitations
- 52:05are. Like with hanging branches with
- 52:07windows. You know, like knowing hey, if I
- 52:10took a knee and I got this pretty good sized window or
- 52:13whatever, Like you can equate that to what you're looking at
- 52:16in real life down the road. But if you don't practice that
- 52:19stuff like you could send it hit a tree limb you never thought
- 52:22your bow would arc do, and boom, not just either miss, but also
- 52:27end up hitting it in a spot you didn't intend to.
- 52:29That's maturity I think on. On you in this case or in a
- 52:33Hunter's you know in any hunter is be able to have an
- 52:36opportunity and say no I don't think so.
- 52:41This isn't this isn't right. You know it's not it.
- 52:45It looks bad for this reason or I've had this experience before.
- 52:48Therefore I know that this outcome is even less likely.
- 52:52Don't you? And back in the day, I would
- 52:54have been. That's a pro movie, Superman.
- 52:55You know young hunter, me women, yeah.
- 52:59You could just take every shot you got or just fuck it and see
- 53:02if it works. You know, that's that's not,
- 53:04that's not part of the art I don't think.
- 53:07But like you said each thing, remember that one in Texas that
- 53:09we were shooting out there is a 69 Yarder classic and you and I,
- 53:13the guys of the group we all missed, our bows are pretty
- 53:17similar in in poundage and in size and whatnot.
- 53:22And we all we both at the limb. You didn't.
- 53:26I think you shot it standing up and like maybe hit over or
- 53:29something. I tried to shoot it off my
- 53:31knees, I want to say, and clipped the branch so you
- 53:33couldn't even hear it or see it until we.
- 53:35But all the girl I think basically just went clean over
- 53:38just fine because you know. Because it was the art.
- 53:41Was this the Boat Disciples challenge?
- 53:43No, this was in Texas Attack, but the Boat Cycles challenge, I
- 53:46mean that one had a banger for that.
- 53:48That dinosaur shot with the branch overtime.
- 53:50I hit that branch. So many arrows were logged into
- 53:53it because guys are. Pull.
- 53:54Up to it. And they would draw and they
- 53:56would break a perfect shot and bam, you're buried in a branch.
- 54:00And before, when we set it up, actually I moved that I had, I
- 54:05think Ted was my dad was there with me setting the target and I
- 54:08made him. Move it until you had to shoot
- 54:13at. The branch.
- 54:14Yeah, yeah. And I knew for a fact a lot of
- 54:17people were going to bury arrows in that, and it was cool to see.
- 54:19But that right, there's a premium example.
- 54:21Not because. Not because they maybe thought
- 54:23they probably just didn't even think about it, you know, And
- 54:26that's that's that next level of of shooting it.
- 54:29And I can remember, like, way back, I didn't think even before
- 54:32I was hunting, I was watching, like I'd watch Jim Breuer on TV,
- 54:36and I remember him doing the whole thing about, you know,
- 54:38hold it up. Now check your.
- 54:40If that thing is 30 and it's a 50 yard shot, check your dirty
- 54:43pin. See if it's on that branch.
- 54:45If it is, you're in trouble. So just learning that, throw
- 54:48that into that, you know, into the process and it's, you know.
- 54:51There's a lot that could go wrong in hunting.
- 54:54Especially bow, specially bow hunting.
- 54:57You know, I mean you could do everything perv.
- 55:00I always say this in archery. It's like one of the few things
- 55:02you have to be 100% perfect because.
- 55:04You could be 95% perfect and be sitting on a bedded buck that
- 55:08you just spent four hours stocking in on.
- 55:10He's 40 yards and he could get up and you could have 3 routes.
- 55:15He could go and you can get a shot and he takes the 4th route
- 55:17that you can't and that happens and you still did it.
- 55:22Perfect. But the luck wasn't perfect, so
- 55:25everything has to pan out, you know?
- 55:28Which I think is crazy. But I don't know if you guys saw
- 55:31this this past week, but I'm sure we probably all follow
- 55:35campaigns. 8100 pull ups his son hit in 24 Oh my God, this is.
- 55:42Insane. Yeah.
- 55:43So can anyone have a phone or calculator do 8100 / 24 what
- 55:48his? Son did. 81124 hours.
- 55:51It's a world record, his son. His son shout out.
- 55:54I'm. Not trying to.
- 55:54That's insane. Something seems off 337.
- 55:58Point It was filmed live. Nothing can be 81.
- 56:01How much? 337. .7 an.
- 56:04Hour So 337 pull ups an hour so divide that.
- 56:07By. 60 That's 5.625 push ups or pull ups a minute.
- 56:14Dude. No 24.
- 56:16Hours I. Could see that.
- 56:17I could see that. Magnifact check you.
- 56:19Shut. Up.
- 56:20No, it's a thing, but like. Like the most, like the most
- 56:24thing like. You said Cam Haynes.
- 56:25Kim's son. True at Haynes.
- 56:28The The closest I've ever come to anything like that is doing
- 56:31like a Murph workout where you do 100.
- 56:33Yeah. That's hard.
- 56:35And that's one time in. We'll just call it an hour.
- 56:38It's less than that, but whatever.
- 56:39Now you got to triple what it was, 300 something and then do
- 56:42that 23 more hours. It's insane.
- 56:46I don't know. So he had tried this.
- 56:48Three other times and did not get the record.
- 56:51Had to get out because his hands were too, does he?
- 56:53Use any sort of grip or. So from what I saw, I obviously
- 56:59didn't sit there and watch the whole 24 hour live feed, but I
- 57:02mean when you live stream, that's how you know.
- 57:05I know he wasn't cheating, I believe it.
- 57:06But it's really cool when you do something live because you go,
- 57:09well go watch the 24 hour tape. But but I'm just being a
- 57:12handler. He so he did it.
- 57:15I saw some with the bare hands and then some.
- 57:17I saw he was wearing like farmer's gloves, but his hands
- 57:21were still just just. Yeah, I saw this short, the clip
- 57:25at the they posted of his like hands literally trembling, and
- 57:29it's like pinkies would just randomly twitch and there's just
- 57:32big gaping blisters. Yeah, yeah.
- 57:38That's great. Impressive.
- 57:40I think it goes back to what we're talking about earlier
- 57:43with, especially someone like Cam, who's not only a Hunter but
- 57:47also does the running and stuff like.
- 57:50It's a prime example of how being a parent like that makes
- 57:54your kids do super crazy stuff, because that's literally a world
- 57:57record. You beat David Goggins, who had
- 57:59the previous record of like 8000.
- 58:02He beat it by 100. I think he beat it with like an
- 58:05hour to go and 100. And 30 minutes to go.
- 58:07That's freaking. Insane, right?
- 58:08But you know the fact that Truett gets to see his dad bang
- 58:14out miles all the time and be successful hunting?
- 58:16Be successful at business. You can't tell me that didn't
- 58:19help accomplish that pull up build.
- 58:21That's for sure. It it's like, you know, the
- 58:25expectation or the standard of like someone like me sitting
- 58:29here like that's that's impossible.
- 58:30That's ridiculous. Yeah.
- 58:32Him. He doesn't have that thought
- 58:34process towards it, you know, So it's just.
- 58:36It's so impressive. Yeah, it's, it's so, so
- 58:40impressive. And on top of that like to kind
- 58:43of expand on that? You just did a half marathon.
- 58:47You're not like a runner. You don't know a ton.
- 58:49So. It's 13 point something.
- 58:51So tell me about that a little bit.
- 58:54Yeah, So, you know, it's funny. You were just talking about
- 58:56Goggins. I read his book, Can't Hurt Me.
- 58:59And it really, you know, everybody says this, but it
- 59:03really did change my life for the better.
- 59:04You know, I was for all throughout the whole summer.
- 59:06I was washing cars, grinding, but then I'd go to the gym for
- 59:10an hour and a half and then I'd run 6 miles a day.
- 59:13And I I kept that up for months on end.
- 59:16And then I, you know, I signed up for that half marathon and I
- 59:20was really happy with my time. I got an hour and 46 minutes.
- 59:26Yeah, I just signed up for a full marathon that I'm going to
- 59:28do in January, so we'll see how it goes if.
- 59:30I have to blog that for BD. Yeah, you know.
- 59:33We'll be at the finish line, yeah, we'll.
- 59:35Drive from, you know, checkpoint to checkpoint.
- 59:38And film. Yeah, pushing.
- 59:39Pushing yourself is like one of the best things that you can do,
- 59:42not only for your physical health.
- 59:44Oh, but for your mental health. It's.
- 59:46OK. Yeah, no, for sure.
- 59:48How did it feel to? Embark on a goal like that,
- 59:53number one, but then actually like how did you feel at the
- 59:56start line? Did you feel like man, I'm hosed
- 59:59or how? How would how do you feel
- 1:00:00before, after, during? So before I was pretty, pretty
- 1:00:05anxious and nervous like, oh shoot, this is a big, the
- 1:00:08longest run I've ever done. How's it going to go?
- 1:00:11But you know when you're when you're in the race and you're
- 1:00:13doing it, it feels a lot easier. There's people all around you,
- 1:00:17supporting you, cheering you on, ringing the bells.
- 1:00:21And then through the race, I'm like, OK, I'm going to do it.
- 1:00:23I'm going to do it. I'm going to see my girlfriend
- 1:00:25at the finish line. It's going to be great.
- 1:00:27And I ended up, you know, running way faster than I would
- 1:00:31would have expected. And I, you know, I just, I can,
- 1:00:35I can push myself for this hour and a half, two hours, whatever
- 1:00:38it may be, and then I'm done. And then I'm going back to my,
- 1:00:42you know, relaxed life. What was your approach like?
- 1:00:45Did you look at? Like the 13.1 like from the
- 1:00:50start? Or did you go OK every mile,
- 1:00:53every mile? I just take it one mile.
- 1:00:56Not like I got 6 to go, no. I got one to go.
- 1:00:58No, it was more. It was more.
- 1:01:00Oh, I got 7 down. You know, like it's kind of
- 1:01:03glass half full type deal. But it it was a blast.
- 1:01:09And I mean just. That's cool.
- 1:01:10It's it's all mental. It's like a lot of lot of
- 1:01:14archery is mental too. I mean like.
- 1:01:16Did you lock in with anybody? Did you run with anybody?
- 1:01:18I didn't. Did you like have a similar pace
- 1:01:21with somebody kind of keep up or you just kind of were complete
- 1:01:24solo? I was running behind this chick.
- 1:01:32I. Hope.
- 1:01:34Jack's. Girlfriend not watching, but
- 1:01:39yes, really really fast Brother. No, it actually happened.
- 1:01:44I was pacing her the whole. Time.
- 1:01:45And she was fast. And she was very fast.
- 1:01:47She was fast. She was a beast.
- 1:01:48You were basing her. She was basing you.
- 1:01:50I was pacing her. From behind Nice.
- 1:01:53Where else would I? Go.
- 1:01:55I hope that girlfriend that much.
- 1:01:58So what? It is so.
- 1:01:59And then afterwards, I assume you celebrated and had some
- 1:02:01seven ups and Gatorades or yeah, yeah, let's, we'll go with that.
- 1:02:05Nice. OK, cool.
- 1:02:07Yeah, it is. It's great.
- 1:02:08No, that's cool. I think like you know.
- 1:02:12Did you what? Pedial what?
- 1:02:15She thought that was the funny part.
- 1:02:17It was a good. Part, You know, like.
- 1:02:20It's like child. 'S, you know.
- 1:02:22It's for children and then he's 18, so it's like.
- 1:02:25Yeah. Gosh guys, it just.
- 1:02:27Hit me later. Number one, I'm having fun in
- 1:02:30this podcast. I also feel just very
- 1:02:32comfortable with the new merch. So buddha.com.
- 1:02:36Free shipping, you know Physique looks good.
- 1:02:38You got to keep the. Arms down though, yeah, you
- 1:02:40wouldn't want to put them up. Waiting for those hats we
- 1:02:43finally convince you to get? Yeah, it's been Matt.
- 1:02:45Time. He's been working on a patch hat
- 1:02:47for four years. Probably everyone loves them.
- 1:02:50Yeah. Thank you.
- 1:02:50For some reason, I'm not saying you were resistant to him.
- 1:02:53I think he's a little. Bit of a hater, I think there
- 1:02:55are other great patch. Hats out.
- 1:02:57There so. I.
- 1:03:00Don't so I personally think so. He just, you know.
- 1:03:03But these new patch. Hats.
- 1:03:05And they're going to sell out quick.
- 1:03:06Oh, for sure. You got that pump station one,
- 1:03:10that one going to go ballistic? Yeah.
- 1:03:11We kind of got 22 lines of merch.
- 1:03:14Yeah. There's and James and I've
- 1:03:17always had kind of like two different styles and approaches
- 1:03:20to to anything, whether it be, you know going out to the bars
- 1:03:23or like even a, you know the pool party or whatever.
- 1:03:26You know, our suits would be different.
- 1:03:28I'm. I'm more of a safe.
- 1:03:30You know, still in style, still kind of still pretty cool.
- 1:03:32But nothing wild. Yeah.
- 1:03:34James over here, yeah, he has like Penguins eating popsicles,
- 1:03:39you know, You know and the short.
- 1:03:44Yeah, you know. So we got the the pump station
- 1:03:47line is kind of your, you know you could wear it out to a rave
- 1:03:52maybe you get the lime green and you know something like that you
- 1:03:54know or sorry or you. Could just, you know, wear the,
- 1:03:58you know, nice green tea here. Yeah, we went basic on the on
- 1:04:01the Tees, yeah. So we hit this back this.
- 1:04:03Is classic. It's nice.
- 1:04:05Yeah, you know this is. I can wear that.
- 1:04:07Honey, if I wanted to. Right.
- 1:04:09Oh, you. Could.
- 1:04:09Yeah, you could. Yeah, I want.
- 1:04:12To talk about like, what's the new trend of Hunter's not
- 1:04:17wearing camo you. Mean like the.
- 1:04:19Solids. Yeah.
- 1:04:20What? What is?
- 1:04:21This, I think it's all just aesthetics and yeah.
- 1:04:24It looks cooler for pictures on the ground.
- 1:04:27Is there? I just want to bring.
- 1:04:31Yourself tell me about. It I wear.
- 1:04:34Yeah, me too. Yeah, I wear Walmart, baby.
- 1:04:38Walmart want Mossy Oak, Real Tree.
- 1:04:40Hey, by the way, a media kit coming your way.
- 1:04:42Mossy oak and real tree. So I'm hoping to be on that
- 1:04:45factory stack. Yeah, I'll send it.
- 1:04:48I'll send it. Get it?
- 1:04:49Get Bri on it. At least I don't know.
- 1:04:51But. It is crazy, No.
- 1:04:53I think it's like we think of, for example, we're looking at
- 1:04:59what can the deer see when we're standing out there and we're
- 1:05:01watching our buddy go stalker, You know where that I can see
- 1:05:05you. But a deer's eyes or an elk's
- 1:05:09eyes or an animal's eyes, for example, are very different.
- 1:05:12I don't know what they are, but I'm just saying if they're
- 1:05:15putting that out there, a brand such as First Light.
- 1:05:19There's probably. A.
- 1:05:20Some research. It's probably not just that they
- 1:05:22think it's cool. Yeah, that's my guess.
- 1:05:24Maybe they're versatile. Do we think it's a factor?
- 1:05:28Well, hold on, I'm just saying how brands like Sitka and Qu and
- 1:05:34First Light have taken off. I personally think that a lot of
- 1:05:38it. Is because people think it looks
- 1:05:41cooler. There's a look.
- 1:05:42Do we think that's? Part of part of advertising like
- 1:05:45for example, you're you're one of, if not the most, you know
- 1:05:49successful hunters that I personally know appreciate and
- 1:05:52that's out there. Really.
- 1:05:53I think you rock Walmart camo. Yeah.
- 1:05:57For doing that, Elvis, we're trying to record I rocked
- 1:06:04Walmart camo. I watched one of your.
- 1:06:07Videos the other day before you Oh.
- 1:06:09Yeah, yeah. I switched to Kuyu.
- 1:06:10It made no difference sadly. Did you feel?
- 1:06:15Better. I felt more comfortable.
- 1:06:18And when that thing hit Instagram, you know what I mean?
- 1:06:21Well, it looks. A little it.
- 1:06:22Looks a little cool, but I don't.
- 1:06:24I don't wear it. For that I will say, I will say
- 1:06:25this right, even though I like. Just camo I get from Walmart.
- 1:06:30I do prefer the stuff that's more form fitting and I think
- 1:06:33that these brands we spoke of, that's what they make is more
- 1:06:37athletic, tighter fitting gear that's like, you know, just more
- 1:06:41breathable. Better.
- 1:06:42It's generally better. I mean that is why a portion of
- 1:06:45it is the quality is better like that's.
- 1:06:48Not a lie. You're paying.
- 1:06:49For it, yeah. And a portion of it, but some of
- 1:06:52it is going to something that actually someone.
- 1:06:55'S gonna face the back quieter. Is quieter.
- 1:06:58I don't know about that. Well, I do.
- 1:07:00Your pants. You're. 20 years old.
- 1:07:01Not my, not my. You.
- 1:07:03Know you know that my pants and my gear are super.
- 1:07:07They're 20 years old. They've been through the washer
- 1:07:09about 8000 times, yeah. Yeah, but you're Pro is.
- 1:07:14Pants not to be. Hate or those things.
- 1:07:15I can see those. Walking a mile away.
- 1:07:17Those are. Bad.
- 1:07:18Those are bad, but that's because they have a water coat.
- 1:07:21I didn't realize about it. Yes, yeah, if you're.
- 1:07:24Stalking. You know, if we could find a
- 1:07:25pants as, A pair of pants as. Warm as those.
- 1:07:28But pants, if we can find a pants.
- 1:07:32If we can find a pair of pants that were as warm as those but
- 1:07:37didn't have the darn water coating on it, that's my pants I
- 1:07:41still get to. Found that.
- 1:07:43No. So I actually double checked I
- 1:07:45have the same. Who you attack, I think is the
- 1:07:48heavier one. Those are still not as warm as
- 1:07:52my pro's pants. But also you can't hear them
- 1:07:56from 4 miles away also. What?
- 1:07:58Do you know they wear the thermals?
- 1:08:00I do. I don't think they're thick
- 1:08:02enough. Why don't you buy some heavier
- 1:08:03therms? So I did the problem.
- 1:08:05Is is my pants are too tight? I did.
- 1:08:07Guys, I might give you a pro tip.
- 1:08:10The Jack. You got thermals?
- 1:08:12Yeah. What do you got?
- 1:08:13Under Armour. It's trash.
- 1:08:15It's trash. Well.
- 1:08:16They're not sponsoring us. No, but Kuyu makes a zip off
- 1:08:22pair of thermals. I even.
- 1:08:24Own them. So just for this, you know, you
- 1:08:25get your dress in the morning, you go out your glass and you
- 1:08:28hike your first hill. You know, once the sun comes up
- 1:08:31sweating your ass off, yeah. OK, drop your pants, knot your
- 1:08:37boots, unzip the thermals, pull your pants back up.
- 1:08:41Yeah, and you're ready. That's nice.
- 1:08:44That's a huge in the hill. One, it's time consuming, yeah?
- 1:08:48Two, you're guaranteed to get at least 1 1/2 thorns in there at
- 1:08:52least and one Little Rock, and that's on the minimum.
- 1:08:56I will say, I will say this for for the zip offs, number one.
- 1:08:59I think that's a great idea. I wanted to bring them to Utah.
- 1:09:02Unfortunately, I couldn't find him and then I found him when I
- 1:09:05got. Back so.
- 1:09:07So I do have them, but I I will say.
- 1:09:13Having the ability to not take your boots off is really
- 1:09:17important, but with that being said, I was really set on my
- 1:09:21next set of hunting boots. Having the Boas so I could just
- 1:09:25pop them and take them off super fast then it's not an issue so
- 1:09:29much right? If you don't have to unlace the
- 1:09:31banana doesn't make the Boas. The only brand I found that made
- 1:09:36some boots that I was like those could be pretty good are the
- 1:09:39Irish setters that have the Boas and they look they did.
- 1:09:42I don't think they do anymore but the Irish setters look good.
- 1:09:46I read some reviews, people said they got tore up crazy quick.
- 1:09:49I already tear up my boots pretty quick, hiking on rocks
- 1:09:52and stuff, but if you tried. 30 seconds.
- 1:09:56You might say 15 seconds and undoing and 30 or 15 seconds and
- 1:10:00redoing them. You still gotta take the shoe
- 1:10:02off. For me it's a convenience and I
- 1:10:04haven't like. I won't sit down anywhere like I
- 1:10:07got to find a semi Flat Rock, you know?
- 1:10:10You do. Matt is a comfort guy.
- 1:10:12But it's it proves itself it and you know, we're joking kind of
- 1:10:16on the comfort, but I think it's huge.
- 1:10:18No, I think it is. I think being comfortable
- 1:10:20glassing, whether it's in the chair, if you can manage to hike
- 1:10:23a chair up, that's not going to be super loud.
- 1:10:25A pad, A Flat Rock. Take time to like, pick out some
- 1:10:30of the rocks before you sit down.
- 1:10:31Otherwise you're doing this you know for for two hours that
- 1:10:34you're there noise. You're not comfortable.
- 1:10:36And you're you're not going. To want to stay there.
- 1:10:38Your quog is way worse. Your quality of glass, No,
- 1:10:42that's what I call it. It's way worse because you're
- 1:10:44fidgeting. You're not able to be there.
- 1:10:47And I've talked about this a bazillion times, but like so
- 1:10:50many guys think, that it's glassing to walk up to the top
- 1:10:54of a hill. Go like this and then hike to
- 1:10:59the next range. To me, that's not glassy like
- 1:11:01you got to spend that time and spending.
- 1:11:04That time. Spending that time to your point
- 1:11:07is so much easier if you're comfortable in your seat, in
- 1:11:10your clothing. And guess what?
- 1:11:12That's also true with sitting a tree stand.
- 1:11:15Sitting a ground blind. How much harder is it to sit if
- 1:11:18your toes are freezing off your goal?
- 1:11:19I have that app. Your toes.
- 1:11:21Your fingers. You know, like you're just less
- 1:11:23likely to. It's already hard.
- 1:11:25You're already tired. You've already been hiking?
- 1:11:28You're already want to just, you know, people don't want to sit
- 1:11:31for very long naturally. We're just conditioned to just
- 1:11:33go, go, go. But if you can be comfortable in
- 1:11:37your seat and then in your clothing and be warm and then
- 1:11:40you know it. I will pay whatever a lot of
- 1:11:42this stuff. Has a money aspect to it which
- 1:11:44you know so. He's the star of the show, by
- 1:11:51the way, Someone left a comment and they said.
- 1:11:54They said I'm very impressed. You found a couch to match the
- 1:11:57dog. Yeah, and I thought that was a
- 1:12:00great comment. You know, but if you can like if
- 1:12:04I what? All right.
- 1:12:05Let me throw this question. You have two things in your
- 1:12:10equipment cash that you can spend that you're going to do
- 1:12:14all your money too. I'm I don't want to, like, start
- 1:12:17listening things. No.
- 1:12:20No, I'm just saying if you're going to like, if you're going
- 1:12:22to choose two things that you're going to spend the money on, you
- 1:12:25know, so that could be like you could buy a quad because it's
- 1:12:29easier for you to ride a quad and hike somewhere.
- 1:12:31For example, what are the two things?
- 1:12:35Clothing. Bow optics.
- 1:12:38Boots. What are you spending money?
- 1:12:40On Is this to be successful on hunts?
- 1:12:42Now you think from your experience will give you the
- 1:12:45best chance of being successful? We're going to start here, all
- 1:12:48right. For me, I think the two most
- 1:12:50important things saying the two. Well, we'll.
- 1:12:54See where the Yeah, I'll give a little feedback, maybe after we
- 1:12:57loop through, but for me #1 without question.
- 1:13:02Is a good tripod for me that you should definitely spend the
- 1:13:05money to get a good tripod. That a tripod A.
- 1:13:08Tripod. You start with a good a tripod
- 1:13:11but a good tripod. Shout out to Vanguard is what I
- 1:13:14like, but having a good tripod is key.
- 1:13:19Second, I like that you said Polaris, because that I was
- 1:13:23going to say binoculars is a second choice, but honestly, I
- 1:13:27might go. I might go something like a
- 1:13:30Polaris Ranger for the 2nd so tripod and a Ranger because the
- 1:13:33Ranger, although I'm not scared to put in miles and I'm cool to
- 1:13:39do it. The fact that you could drive
- 1:13:42further out on a road than someone in the Chevy 1500 or
- 1:13:46whatever. And then hike.
- 1:13:48And then hike from there just opens up so much opportunity.
- 1:13:53So for me I'll say a Polaris or some sort of side by side.
- 1:13:57And a good tripod. All right.
- 1:13:59Great. I would say I'm going to go
- 1:14:02definitely Polaris or side by side or Quad, because if we're
- 1:14:06talking like now, I don't know, we didn't specify.
- 1:14:09Is this money like if someone was going to if I didn't have to
- 1:14:11pay the money like? I mean, you know, it's not like
- 1:14:14ridiculous, but like, you know, it's honey equipment.
- 1:14:16You got to spend it. Yeah, if you're going to be in
- 1:14:18the sport. If I had the money, it would be
- 1:14:21a side by side. For sure, just seeing the places
- 1:14:26in Arizona we can get further than we can with a car and then
- 1:14:31hike the rest of the way in, you know, vastly changes what we
- 1:14:37were seeing so. Number one is.
- 1:14:39Number one is. Side by side #2 for me is
- 1:14:42comfort. So it's clothing.
- 1:14:44I would blow so much money on a summer set of clothes, a winter
- 1:14:48set of clothes and boots. Summer boots, winter boots, you
- 1:14:53know, the the under gear, the over gear, the rain gear, all of
- 1:14:58it. Because I think it plays again
- 1:15:02for me, some of pitcher and moaner.
- 1:15:05It plays a factor in comfort like throughout the day, like
- 1:15:08how much are you distracted thinking about how cold and
- 1:15:11Brandon. Maybe some people don't get as
- 1:15:12cold as like I do, but if I can focus less on how uncomfortable
- 1:15:20I am. I'm be happy, like especially
- 1:15:23again. I'm going to go back to Kuyu
- 1:15:24like this. These merino wolves that you
- 1:15:27cannot like, You could sweat your ass off in them and you
- 1:15:31eventually it'll smell, but. We'll have that natural odor
- 1:15:35resistant, which is, you know, that's kind of like a double
- 1:15:38because now you're also comfortable in that, but you're
- 1:15:41also now more. Successful on the stock.
- 1:15:44You're eliminating scent. You know it doesn't hold it in.
- 1:15:48It washes out better. You know other shirts that I
- 1:15:50have? I can wash them.
- 1:15:52Yeah, no, I want to. Well, not, yeah.
- 1:15:54All right, so we got, we got a tripod and we got a side by
- 1:15:57side. We got a side by side and we got
- 1:15:59clothing. Jack, I'm going to go glass.
- 1:16:02That's probably the number one thing that I would say is
- 1:16:06crucial. Yeah, I I haunted in just this
- 1:16:09past September. I was up in Montana oak hunting
- 1:16:11with my uncle and I have these, you know, vortex, crossfires
- 1:16:15lowest and vortex. You can have.
- 1:16:18And he's got the razors and you know, I was looking through my
- 1:16:22glass and I'm like, oh look at that spike over there.
- 1:16:24And he's like Jack, that's not a spike.
- 1:16:26That's like a seven point bull. Yeah.
- 1:16:30So I mean it's it's they're it's pretty important to have good
- 1:16:34glass. And then the second thing I
- 1:16:36would definitely say is a wind checker, even though that's not
- 1:16:40expensive, but it is. You can buy all the scent
- 1:16:45products or scent killers or whatever it doesn't do.
- 1:16:48Anything. Nope.
- 1:16:50It's. It's just win, win, win.
- 1:16:52Facts. That's great.
- 1:16:55Yeah, that was a great round, yeah.
- 1:16:56It was. What about you?
- 1:16:59I asked the question, you know, OK.
- 1:17:02Let. Me just ask this if you had a
- 1:17:07pick between quality of glass and.
- 1:17:12We'll say like distance. What?
- 1:17:13Is there a magnification? Where are you picking?
- 1:17:19Quality, for sure. I have three sets of glass that
- 1:17:22I use. So I have the seven power, Zeiss
- 1:17:25is very high end binocular and then I have the 25 powers that
- 1:17:29are lower end and then I have the spotter which they're all
- 1:17:33they're. Those are both fine, but they're
- 1:17:35not the Zeiss but. You guys both know I spend most
- 1:17:38of my time even looking ridiculous distance with the
- 1:17:41seven powers, and then I use those to further assess what I
- 1:17:44find. So I think having at least one
- 1:17:47set, whatever your primary is going to be, I think should be
- 1:17:50high end, as high end as you can afford.
- 1:17:54And then beyond that, the higher magnification, you're really
- 1:17:58only using it to see what the buck is, what the bowl is that I
- 1:18:02think you can, you know, save some money if you want to.
- 1:18:05So you. So yeah, what What are the mags
- 1:18:07you have? So I have 725 and then I think
- 1:18:11it's 20 through 60. For the OK, what do you have?
- 1:18:13I have a 10 and a 15. OK, Jack, I have a four.
- 1:18:19A4A. 4. Power.
- 1:18:20Jack like. No.
- 1:18:21It's not 4. Your binos, they're not four
- 1:18:24power. Your cell phones got more zoom
- 1:18:26than that though. It's not 4 power, I guarantee
- 1:18:28you. You don't think?
- 1:18:29So no, it's at least 8 vortex I don't think.
- 1:18:33They actually make a four, but you're.
- 1:18:36Crazy bastard. Could be an 8, so I haven't, I
- 1:18:39don't know the things. The thing is.
- 1:18:40Wore off of Probably an 8. Yeah, probably.
- 1:18:43Probably. I have a 10 and 18 and then the.
- 1:18:50Eighteens are nice. You're only using that for for,
- 1:18:54you know, just to just to be jolly about looking at if I
- 1:18:57standing. By.
- 1:18:58I'm not scanning with the spotter.
- 1:19:00Now see, I would like a spotter if I put my what's that thing
- 1:19:03that I finally gave up and bought on?
- 1:19:06Yeah, you. Bought it finally.
- 1:19:07I did, yeah. I need to buy you.
- 1:19:09Gotta stop enabling him. What?
- 1:19:11Do you mean I will say oh. So he goes and buys.
- 1:19:13Hold on. I will say this, I will say
- 1:19:18this. Glassing matters a lot less on
- 1:19:25your equipment and more so on how much you practice the skill
- 1:19:30and how little time you're on your phone.
- 1:19:33So many people on the Glass waste way too much time on their
- 1:19:37phone and this is going to kill your results when glassing.
- 1:19:41So to me, you don't have to go buy a set of $2000 ice.
- 1:19:46Don't. I'd say don't.
- 1:19:47Yeah, you don't even have to, right?
- 1:19:49I've had mine for 20 years, like I've had them a long, long time.
- 1:19:54And, she jokes. They look like they're from the
- 1:19:56Holocaust. They do look old, but they're
- 1:19:57really, really good by now. But just work.
- 1:20:01On the Yeah, I'm getting cancelled again.
- 1:20:05What are our thoughts on? Bo disciples getting cancelled?
- 1:20:10Yeah, OK, what do we think about me getting cancelled a few
- 1:20:13times? Yeah, that's big.
- 1:20:15Dates are in fact the low. Yeah, basically we're all.
- 1:20:18Curious. You can't.
- 1:20:19You can't get cancelled if you don't care about getting
- 1:20:21cancelled. You keep.
- 1:20:23It. On let it cancel, you let it
- 1:20:25happen. Whatever let it happen.
- 1:20:27It was monetization. Oh, you can't let that.
- 1:20:29Happen. Yeah.
- 1:20:30Pick up some sponsors. Maybe we're talking about it.
- 1:20:33Brianna's a big sponsor gal. Me, not a big sponsor gal.
- 1:20:36But. The glass thing, like you said,
- 1:20:39the glass thing is predominantly your time behind them.
- 1:20:44It doesn't have to be an expensive pair.
- 1:20:46Could you tell like and I think it's a lot of eyes too and your
- 1:20:49experience like yes, you can tell through your sevens, you
- 1:20:53know this side of the rack versus outside with a drop here
- 1:20:57this that. And I can't see that with my
- 1:20:59teens. You just have the eyes for it.
- 1:21:01You know it's a bit. So it's either it's a.
- 1:21:03Some people maybe just have better eyes for that and then
- 1:21:05yours are also trained to see it or when to look and when you can
- 1:21:08tell based on the you know where it's looking.
- 1:21:11But me buying expensive glass with more magnification isn't
- 1:21:15going to make a difference in me knowing there's a buck over
- 1:21:17there, especially at my position in in hunting.
- 1:21:22That's a. Nanny enough buck to go get.
- 1:21:24I know it's at that Bush. I can go get it back, right?
- 1:21:29Yeah, right. I don't need to know, you know,
- 1:21:33if it's got a cool spot here. 17 pointer.
- 1:21:35It's got a drop kind. Crazy.
- 1:21:38If you want to get, if you want to get to that later, or if
- 1:21:42you're rich, sure, go ahead and do.
- 1:21:44It and that's the thing too. Like it depends on what what you
- 1:21:47want to do right? Like.
- 1:21:49I could spend more money on hunting gear, but I just like.
- 1:21:51I don't see the needs, just the main thing is always going to be
- 1:21:56the key hunting time in the field and.
- 1:22:01Getting as best as you can while you're out there, learning every
- 1:22:04single time, progressing a little bit, getting a little bit
- 1:22:06better. That is going to make a bigger
- 1:22:08difference than any fancy camo you buy.
- 1:22:10Any fancy tent, you buy, any binocular, any bow.
- 1:22:13A lot of people, a lot of people are like, man, I I got to get a
- 1:22:17flagship bow. I'm shooting this Diamond 320.
- 1:22:20I'm like the Diamond 3:20. I could have smoked a lot of
- 1:22:22stuff with the same the same bow, you know, it's under 40
- 1:22:28yards. All people chase bows.
- 1:22:31Yeah, it's like iPhones. Me include.
- 1:22:33First or two in. Like iPhones is a great example.
- 1:22:38The iPhone see it used to be back in the day.
- 1:22:42The difference between phones was huge from the Samsung S.
- 1:22:46Five to the S7 was a huge difference, but nowadays from
- 1:22:51the iPhone 14 to the 15 is like all they did was make it tie.
- 1:22:56Other than that, it's still my money to buy a new charging
- 1:22:58cable. Exactly.
- 1:23:00So a lot of good stuff. And BDP too.
- 1:23:03That's a wrap. I think it was a good pod it.
