  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better dear hunting, and now your
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: host Tony Peterson. Hey, everyone, welcome to the wire to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Hunt Foundations podcast, which is brought to you by First Light.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tony Peterson, and today's episode is all
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: about shed antler hunting with a Purpose. Last week I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: talked about shed antlers, but what I really didn't line
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: out is a plan to find them. That's what this
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: show is about, and it closely mirrors my style of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: finding bucks that I really want to hunt. It's kind
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of a methodical approach that involves a lot of planning,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a little freelancing, and just quite a bit of walking
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with a purpose. Yea, Before I get too deep into
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this episode, I just want to highlight a couple examples
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of times when shed antler's led me to killing bucks.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: After all, isn't that maybe the best reason to devote
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: some serious time to shed antler hunting, aside from just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: kicking the cabin fever that sets in during these long winters.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The first time that I turkey hunted Nebraska with a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: bow in my hand and a bunch of public land
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to work with I found a solid four point side
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: laying in a patch of sumac on a hillside. It
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was a cool fine, but it didn't distract me from
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the task of trying to arrow a gobbler or a jake.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Later on that trip, on that same property, I found
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: another antler, this one a busted up five point side.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Got me thinking I had been randomly seeing deer during
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: my turkey sits, so the population seemed decent, But finding
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: antlers from two different bucks on public land made me
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: think the quality and quantity of deer was better than
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I originally thought. And it also meant that the place
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: couldn't have been overrun with hunters because both antlers were
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: still laying there in April, and they weren't exactly hidden away.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They were pretty easy to find. So I went back
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that fall with a buddy of mine, and I arrowed
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a great eight pointer on that property, in a patch
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of sumac on the very same hillside where I found
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: those two antlers. In fact, I've hunted that spot four
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: times since then, and I've killed three really good bucks there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But it also has gotten a little bit busier. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we started expanding our turkey hunting to include other parts
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of the state and other properties. So a few years
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ago on one of those newer properties, that same buddy
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and I doubled up on a pair of Jake's out
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: where there shouldn't have been any turkeys at all, way
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out in the Grassland hills. And that morning, that successful morning,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: he also eyed up a great antler, and it got
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: me thinking once again, I think you know where this
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is going. Fast forward to that fall, and we had
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: two velvet bucks dead in two days on that same
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: parcel of public land. Here at home in Minnesota, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: found sheds on public and killed bucks in those spots
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: later in Wisconsin. It's also happened for me, not coincidentally,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it has happened in other states as well, from North
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Dakota all the way on down to Oklahoma. The shed
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: antler connection to filled tags it's real, but it's not
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: as simple as finding an antler and then coming back
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: later in the fall and shooting a buck there. Sometimes,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like in the case of those Nebraska sheds, a couple
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of antlers can show you the caliber of deer living
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in an area. That might be a thin connection, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it's better than nothing. And in other cases, like I've
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had closer to my home. I've found antlers and spots
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that caused me to really investigate those specific areas, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it turned out that those antler drops, they weren't an accident,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: just like it was no accident that there were good
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: bucks using those spots later in the season. So finding
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: antlers it's valuable beyond just having a new cool keepsake.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But finding antlers comes in two forms, total accident and intentional.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: While you can't really make a plan to find accidental antlers,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because after all, it wouldn't be much of an accident
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: if you plan for it, they're still valuable, just like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: my sister and all of you find folks who were
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: accidents as well, because even though you weren't planned, we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are all very happy that you're here with us. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you stumble across a shed, count your blessings and try
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to divine any useful info it might provide, but also
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: make a plan to find shed antlers so they don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have to rely on the whims of Mother nature to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: deliver you a shed. How I do this on proper
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: teas I know, is to kind of divide them into
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: rough routes depending on the conditions in the likelihood of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: other shed hunting pressure. I might cover the easy food
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: sources and the pounded trails on my first pass through,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: just go for the low hanging fruit, or if I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: don't think too many people are gonna come in there,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I might save that stuff for later in March when
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I can take my little girls out and the snow
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: might have already melted. It doesn't really matter, because the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: point is to know roughly where you'll walk on at
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: least one day, one little trip. Then it's time to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: open up your on x app and start looking for
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the places you didn't cover on your home run stretch.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Where are the secondary trail is going to be? Where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: are the thicker spots that would be easy to walk
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: right past an antler. I start to subdivide properties into
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: those parts and make a plan to walk them. These
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: aren't as fun as walking a cut corn field that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is covered in deer tracks, but they also tend to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: yield some of the best antlers for me. That's also
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: probably because I tend to shed hunt places that a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: lot of people shed hunt. The easy stuff will be
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: picked over all winter long, but the nasty thickets and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: creek bottoms and other areas that aren't as much fun
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and as easy to walk. Those are the ones that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: usually yield some antlers for me. Now it might seem crazy,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but a lot of the routes I walk differed by
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: only like ten or twenty yards. I view it like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I do fishing docks for bass. While it might be
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: easy to burn a spinner bait or a swimming jig
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: down one side and then the other, as you move
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to the next dock, you know you're probably missing fish
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: unless they're really on the eat. The best dock fisherman
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I've ever shared a boat with they always work both
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: those sides like that, but also every potential fish holding
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: point underneath. Now that means highly methodical approach, maybe with
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a flipping jig aimed at every dock post and every tire,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: every corner of a boat lift, every ladder extending into
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the water to accommodate the kids when they go swimming.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Or it might involve the same targeted approach with a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: waitless stick bait like a Senko skipped way deep under
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the dock as far as you can get it. Whatever
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the presentation, the approach is always thorough, very thorough. The
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: same rules should apply to shed hunting and this building
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: route strategy should work, but it will vary a lot
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: depending on the property size and the habitat on it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And also, as I've mentioned, the likelihood of pressure. If
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you've got forty acres of open woods at seven other
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: people shed hunt, your route will be their route, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that sucks. That means you've got to think about timing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, my buddies
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I used to do really well on big January
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: sheds when we had the opportunity to grouse hunt in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the first month of the year in Wisconsin. This is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: totally anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: big deer seemed to drop in my area in January
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: pretty heavy, and by the third week of February really heavy.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But I often see scrappers holding all the way through
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: March and occasionally into April. The latest I've personally witnessed
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: was a trio of three young bucks walking past my
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: blind on April eleven down in Nebraska, and all three
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: were holding both sides. Now front loading your shed hunting
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to the beginning of the season and tailoring your routes
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to the fact that you're looking for trophies is a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: play that's worth considering. But I would also say that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: if you live where plenty of snowfalls, you have to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: pay attention to that as well. Where I do much
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of my shed hunting, it's not uncommon to get fresh
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: snow every week for months. The new snow has a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: great opportunity to cover up the freshly dropped sheds, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that means that you can walk until you're sick of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: it and still not find an antler if the snow
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: conditions conspire against you, which they often do. This affects
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: my routes because I tend to go where the deer
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: betting or where the hill sides get some extra san
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to keep the snow packed down a little bit. The
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: deep swamps and the cooler areas, those just have to wait,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and they do during those snow heavy years, which are
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: more common here than not. Are actually a great equalizer
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to us shed hunters. Even the construction workers I know
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: who are off all season and put on dozens of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: miles each week, they can't find all the antlers when
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they're buried under the snow. They just can't. That means
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it might be a good idea to go easy on
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the antler hunts once real winter settles in so that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you can really get after it when the snow starts
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to melt. This time frame, which where I live, tends
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to happen sometime in March, is the best chance to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: find a lot of antlers. In my experience. It's not
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: always the best chance to find big antlers, but if
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you just want the odds in your favor, the first
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: melt of the year is it. This has produced some
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of the most fruitful days for me, including a handful
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of days where I found anywhere from a couple on
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: up to maybe five or six. Now, that might not
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sound like a ton, but when you're used to finding
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: no antlers on any given shed hunt, that is something.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And finding four antlers in one day, which happened to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: me in northern Wisconsin about six years ago, is a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: huge win in some areas. Regardless of the antler's size,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: whether you plan perfect routes and stick to them or
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: time your hunts perfectly doesn't really matter. If you're not
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: paying attention while you're shed hunting, there's no chance you're
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: gonna find antlers. If you're really not paying attention, or
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: at least very very little chance. Now this might seem
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like a forehead slapping statement, but allow me to explain.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of years being really terrible at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: shed hunting because I wasn't methodical and I had a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lot of squirrel moments where I'd get distracted by deer
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: sign or something else. I wasn't looking down like I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: needed to, and the results reflected that. I also shed
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: hunted mostly where I wanted to scout deer, which was
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a good idea for scouting, but not such a great
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: idea you for shed hunting. Sometimes, if you're not good
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: at finding sheds, it's probably due to that or a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: couple other reasons. Your brain probably isn't in the right
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: zone to pick out a piece of antler on the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: ground a little glimpse of a time or that, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: seeing the base poking out of the snow. Sheds can
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: blend in amazingly well, especially on days when the sun
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is high and the shadows are deep and dark. Side
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: note here, the best shed hunting days are overcast with
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: just a tiny bit of spring drizzle. Because having even
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: light to work with and a little moisture sheen on
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the antlers, that's an absolute gift to my friends. But
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: back to the task at hand. It takes time to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: be able to recognize a part of an antler as
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: your eyes are sweeping across the landscape and you're walking
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: just like I don't know, looking for morale mushrooms or
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: site fishing for small mouth in the spring. Rookies are
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: predictably terrible at this stuff. It takes practice to be
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: able to get into the headspace where you're good at
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: finding things that take a discerning eye. It's also easy
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to zone out when you haven't found an antler in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: three weeks and you have no faith that this passed
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: through the woods will finally be the one that produces
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: an antler for you. This might be the hardest part
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: because a lot of us are shed hunting places that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: aren't very good for shed hunting. But not very good
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: is a long way from impossible. And there is the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: reality that miles walked equals more sheds found. This is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a point I can't really stress enough. Although I've never
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: kept track of it, my miles walked parantler is probably
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: somewhere between like twenty to forty. Over the course of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: my life. When I shed hunted a lot I'd go
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: nearly every day somewhere in the winter, and I'd find
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: an antler every couple of weeks in the course of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of shed hunting. I'd often end the season
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: with like six. That's a lot of squeeze for a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: little juice, but it might just be the best you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: can do with your situation. And it does get better
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if you make a plan and you stick to it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: while paying attention to the conditions and doing a couple
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of other things. The first is carry your binoculars. If
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you don't have a chest harness for your binos by
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: one you'll thank me later in the hunting season, but
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: also put it to good use during shut hunting. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how many things I've seen in the woods
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that were white or suspiciously antler ish, but it's a lot.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I used to walk up to every one of them,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: only to find out that it was part of a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: styrofoam cup or just a stick curved in the right
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: direction and caught my attention. Now I carry binos so
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I don't have to walk directly up on everything that
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I think might be an antler, and I have found
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: quite a few antlers as well through using binoculars, both
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: while scanning the woods or field and while investigating a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: distant object that I just have a suspicion about. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: another thing that I do is slow down, and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: mean way down, not just kidding. I've never slowed down
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in my life. I don't even know how to. My
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: natural gait is fast, and it pisces off my hunting partners,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: my wife, and just about every short legged person who
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: has the misfortune to walk anywhere with me. I know
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to slow down to find more antlers, but
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I can't. It is not how I'm wired. So I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: go fast, and I know that I'm aware of it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: This means that some of my routes tend to be
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: just the reverse order of some of my other routes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Walking one way through the woods gives you a specific
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: view of the woods, while walking the opposite way gives
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you a different view of the same woods. Think about
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: how many times you've been grid searching for a deer
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you or your buddy shot and walked right past it
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: going one way and you turn around and holy crap,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: there's a whole dead deer right there, plain as day.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: This happens with antlers. A lot, So if you can't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: get yourself to slow down, consider running a reverse play
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and trying to pick them up while approaching from a
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: new direction. Understand that you will miss antlers, and then,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: while it's not fun to fish, use water. As they say,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: covering the same ground at different times of the shed
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: season will produce some bone for you. You'll also have
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the benefit of the deer that hadn't dropped yesterday but
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: have today. I've found quite a few really fresh antlers
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in my day that we're in places I shed hunt frequently.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I firmly believe that some of them weren't there just
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: days before, and that's enough to give you some hope
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to keep trekking. This is especially true if you shed
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: hunt places like I do in the suburbs of the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Twin Cities, where a lot of people are out there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You have to kind of live on that hope that
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: there's still box out there carrying that could drop an
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: antler for you tonight that you'll find in the morning
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and nobody else is going to get to first. And
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I should also say this, although it's really up to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you as an individual, but I don't shed hunt when
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the conditions are super cold, and nasty. Where I live,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: we get real arctic level cold fronts that move in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and they hang around for days and some times weeks.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: These polar vortex type of events might keep the high
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: tempts in the single digits or sometimes below zero for
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: days on end. That puts a lot of the woodland
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: creatures in real survival mode. I don't feel particularly good
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: about pushing a bunch of deer and other animals around
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: when they need every calorie they can muster, so I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: just try to stay out when the conditions are that bad.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: This may not be much of a concern for hunters
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: throughout the southern half of the White Tail range, but
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: it is a consideration if you live farther north. Because
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of this, I stay glued to my weather apps so
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I can see not only when the frigid air is
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: coming in how long it's planning to stay, but also
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: so I can keep tabs on the snowfall. This is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: also why I just tend to shed hunt less at
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the front of the season and really try to take
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: as much time as I can when we start to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: roll through February and get into some more favorable weather.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: No matter you're hunt timing or your specific locations. Consider
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: developing a real plan for finding antlers if you're interested
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in actually finding antlers and learning more about the woods
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and the animals that inhabit them. This doesn't have to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: be a militaristic approach, because that's not that fun for
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of us, but it should involve a little planning.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So consider your routes, consider the food sources and the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: good winter cover. Consider who else is likely to be
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: out there scooping up the antlers before you get to them,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Watch the weather, lace up your boots, strap on your binos,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and get out there. With enough miles in the rear
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: view mirror, you should have a few antlers to show
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: for your effort. Now next week, just because it comes
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: up so often and it is the season, I'm going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to talk about shed antler dogs. While this topic was
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: super hot like a decade ago, it's kind of cooled
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: off a little bit in recent years. But training a
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: dog to fine antlers it's pretty easy, or it can be,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: i should say, And it can increase your production, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: mostly it just gives you an excuse to spend more
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: time with your four legged best friend, long after most
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of the bird seasons have closed up. That's it for
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this week, my dear loving amigoes. I'm Tony Peterson and
• 18:03
