  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, presented by first Light,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle or blind.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: First Light Go Farther, Stay Longer, and now your host
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Tony Peterson.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the Wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: which is brought to you by first Light. I'm your host,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Tony Peterson. In today's episode is all about how to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: approach the rut with a plan and then to see
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that plan through. Well, if you've been bitching about hot
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: weather or rainy, foggy, stupid weather, or no daytime movement
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: or whatever, you know, when it comes to the deer,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you can stop now. At least much of the country
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is writ smack dab in the best damn time of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the year to be a white tail hunter, and that
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: means a lot of folks are going to have amazing
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: hunts this week, but.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: A lot of folks won't.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be in that ladder category, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to help you avoid it, I'm going to talk about
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: developing a rut hunting plan and actually it through. So
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: buckle up, because it's time to get serious about the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: best time of the year to be a deer hunter.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Here in Minnesota, we have a thing called m EA,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: which stands for Minnesota Educator Academy, and every year in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: October they hold a conference with teachers, and since they
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: are all tied up all day, the kids get a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: nice little.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Break of a couple days off of school.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I figured that was the perfect opportunity to take one
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of my daughters back to that stupid wasteland with no
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: deer that is northern Wisconsin and try to get her
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to arrow anything. I didn't have a great plan, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I had a sort of plan, given that the wind
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: was going to be out of the south for two
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: days and then out of the north for our remaining
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: two days. Well, we saw grouse, squirrels, a hell of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of songbirds, and we never saw a single deer,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: not in seven sits, which, if you think about it,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: sucks a whole lot. I realized about halfway through that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I was bumping up against a couple of things. The
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: first was that my daughter is certainly capable of hunting
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: long hours and being patient, but she can't hunt out
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of a tree stand with a crossbow. At least a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: stand that isn't a ladder stand, and I'm just not
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: much of a ladder stand guy, although I guess I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: probably should be now that my daughters could hunt them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That was mistake number one. Anyway, I should have put
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: up some ladder stands. Second, because the crossbow she uses
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: is heavy, like they generally are, she needs a solid rest,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: which comes in the form of a heavy bog pot.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That's a limiting factor for many reasons, but it is
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: what it is until they are strong enough and confident
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: enough to shoot a vertical bow.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Now, we hunted private land, and we hunted public We
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: hunted alfalfa, we hunted acorns, we hunted the limited amount
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of scrapes we found, We hunted pinch points. And what
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: we saw was that whatever decision I made was clearly
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the wrong one. It was frustrating, but it also reminded
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: me of how my dad and I used to hunt. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: instead of trying to input as many variables as possible
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: into the old brain algorithm and then make a decision
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: based on that plus fresh sign, I said, well, the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: wind is from the north, so I have these four options.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I thought her extremely low standards in the reality that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we'd spend probably twenty eight hours or so in those
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: seven sits out actually hunting that it would just be
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a matter of time, but it wasn't, and the highlight
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of the whole trip was taking the pop out for
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: some midday ducks and then woodcock and grouse. A few
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: wood ducks can make up for some shitty deer hunting,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but didn't quite smooth the whole thing. Over the last
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: night of the trip, my daughter and I sat watching
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a beautiful small alfalfa field on a piece of private
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and listened to wolves howl in the distance, which was
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a good reminder that it might not just be my
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: poor decision making that had the deer on edge or
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: totally gone. I recently heard someone on a podcast say
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: something like, when it comes to business, hope is not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a strategy, and I was running off of hope out there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: That last part of that statement stuck with me, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it rattled around my smooth brain on the drive home
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: from our ill fated hunt, because it just kind of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: perfectly summed up a lot of life and definitely summed
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: up deer hunting at that time and right now during
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the rut. This is the thing, though, there's like no
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: better time during the season to have that warm and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: fuzzy feeling that this is just going to be our
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: sit or this is just going to be our week,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: because after all, when all the bucks in the neighborhood
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: are on the move, the odds of one of them
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: walking by at twenty yards will never be higher than
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: right now. That's the good news. But the bad news
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is that the rut doesn't erase a lot of the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: things that we think it does. Let me give you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: an example here. During late September, my daughters and I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: sat over in Wisconsin and saw a big old dough
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: multiple times one day. She was a frequent flyer on
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: my cameras in that spot, and she had no fawns,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: so I figured her days were definitely numbered, and boy
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: did she flirt with death.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: But she beat us, and.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Eventually she got close enough to our blind where she
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: could be down wind and figure it out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: When I heard her spook, I wondered how long it
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: would take for her to get back to normal. Well,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: as of the last week of October, I never had
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: another daylight pick of her, but I had plenty of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: nighttime picks. We never saw her again either, and we
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: hunted specifically for that deer a few times. That dough
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: an old, no bullshit kind of dough. She's still around,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: but I can promise you the odds of her running
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: by that blind in daylight at some point or way
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: less than they would have been if we didn't spook
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: her there. She knows where we like to hide, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: she's not the kind of deer to take those chances.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Does that sound like I'm putting too much mental horsepower
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in between her ears? Maybe, but I don't think so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Does that mean a buck won't go by that blind?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. But I also think that dough in particular,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: even if she was getting chased like crazy, would be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: more likely to head off somewhere else where she feels
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a little safer. I think it's often that simple, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that stuff doesn't work in our favor. Now I can
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: somewhat confidently say that because I can keep tabs on
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: individual deer in that place where there just aren't very
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: many deer. But you might think, well, I always have
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: lots of does and fawns around my old favorite stand
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: site or my favorite box blind, and that's great off.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And do those dos go by and range? Are they
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: onto you at all. What if, for some reason, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: go out for a couple of days of your rut
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: cation and they don't come by, at least they don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: drag a buck by you. I remember Randy Nuberg telling
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: me one time about once in a lifetime tags or
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: at least super premium, you know, tags that you might
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: never draw, and if you do, you got real lucky.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: People draw them and they think the hunt is going
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to be easy, but you still have to put in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the effort commensurate to the tag and the animal. This
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: is where people get the rut wrong. A lot of times,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we like it for a lot of reasons, but the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: main one we don't talk about is that the rut
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is an excuse to be kind of lazy. And I'm
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just going to say this and take the heat if
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I have to. Lazy saves more bucks than anything else.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: My dad just recently texted me that he put up
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a blind on a farm in southeastern Minnesota for deer,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: where you know there's a lot of deer in general.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: But he went in there and sat a couple of times,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and that blind wasn't giving him good vibes. He knew
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: he needed to move it, and he was almost willing
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to do that, but then he said he would just
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: open up a different window on the blind where there
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: are more trails on that side than the spot he'd
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: originally faced that. Now I had many thoughts there, none
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of which I shared with him because he won't follow
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: my advice anyway, But I'll share them with you. That
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: decision was based purely on not wanting to do the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: work to find new deer and set up something different.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Worse yet, I'm sure he believes his reasoning.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pick on Papa too hard, because
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: we all do shit like that. It's in our nature
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to figure out ways to shortcut every process and to
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: try to put in as little effort as possible for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the highest reward. If the deer have taught me anything,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's that if you don't have an unbelievable spot to hunt,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you aren't going to get away with little effort. They're
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: too good at not getting killed for that kind of approach.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So I guess this leads me to the point where
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you how to make a plan.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what I do, and then
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: tell you why that's wrong, and then go in circles
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: for a while until I wrap this thing up. The
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: weather forecast is your friend, first and foremost. Wind direction
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is what I care about the most because it will
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: tell me an awful lot about what I can and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: can't do on any given day. So if I have,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: let's say five days to hunt the rut, I want
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to pull up the forecast for each day and make
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: no to the predicted wind direction. Now, I know that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this isn't an exact science, but it's a hell of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a lot more reliable than it used to be. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: start there where you can reasonably expect whatever wind directions
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: are predicted. Then you have to use that infotocross reference
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it with the best weather conditions you have, because that's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: when you want to hunt your best stuff. So let's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: say you have one pinch point you scout of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: spring and you believe with your heart that it's going
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to be on fire during the rut. Now you need
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a west or a north wind for it, and that
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: isn't going to come until day three of your five
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: day hunt. Do you talk yourself into sitting there because
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you think it's your best spot, or do you stay
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: out and hunt backups to until the weather gets right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: especially if the weather is going to get cold and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: maybe a little rainy and oh so special for the rut.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Here's what probably half of the hunters will do. They'll say, well,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's a southwest wind, but it won't be blowing very hard,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and I think I can get away with it, so
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: they'll hunt that pinch anyway. This is especially true if
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they have a camera there, which they will, and that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: camera will show them some daylight movement with big ones.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: That siren song is loud, it's beautiful, and it'll talk
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you into crashing your ship right into the rocks. My friends,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like at least half of the time I haunt,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: especially during the rut, I find myself sitting somewhere that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: good enough, but not where I really want to beat.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But if you can't cheat the wind in any meaningful
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: way when you're bowhunting, you just have to live by this.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: You need backups that you believe in. Let's say you
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: decide I'm not going to that sweet pinch point till
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the wind and the weather break my way. But you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: also don't want to sandbag the first couple days of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: your rut hunt. Where can you put in some time
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and not mess up the deer that should be going
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: through that pinch. That's what you need to answer. So again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: take into account to wind in the conditions. Maybe it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: going to be ten or fifteen degrees warmer than it
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: should be during the rut. So on that first day
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: you know you're going to have the wind out of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the south. Probably do you have water to hunt or
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a funnel that allows you to sit over it where
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: maybe they might pass through on their way to the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: drinking fountain somewhere. What if you think your water spot
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: is just a nursery of little bucks and you don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: want to waste your time there. Again, probably because what
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: your cameras show. I look at this different and I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: try to ignore my trail camera data when it comes
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to the rut. If I am where I believe the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: general deer population might want to go, I'm not without confidence,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: even if I haven't had tons of pictures of one
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to fifties in that spot. Plus, it's better than blowing
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: out your best stuff by a long shot. Now, maybe
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that's not it, and maybe the south wind will allow
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: for a hanging hunt in an area that usually has
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of bucks sign anything is better than
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: settling for good enough. And the more you lay out
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: your plan and your brain before you start hunting, the
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: more you can see it through until at least the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: deer show you something different. This is where things get squirrely.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The best plans just generally meet our deer realities, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: if we force them too hard, when the bucks show
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: us something else, we lose again. You want that rough
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: plan in place, that day by day plan, so you
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: can follow through something with confidence. But if at any
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: point the deer really show you something but where they
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: want to be, you know, somewhere else, then you've got
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to factor that in. But here's where it gets a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: little worse. The way deer usually show us that is
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: through trail cameras. Look, that's good intel and might talk
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you into calling an audible, But in person rut observations
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: are much more valuable. If you see a buck doing
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: something anything, pay attention. I don't care if it's a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: spiker at two hundred injury. If you see two bucks
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: do something, you have an answer to an important question.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Where should I be sitting right now? Uh?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Right there?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So develop a good plan and then toss it into
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the garbage. The minute the deer show you anything outside
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: of that plan, right, kind of, without the original plan
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in place, you're going to probably settle without taking into
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: account what the deer actually show you. You won't be
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: taking full advantage of the rut. Instead, you'll be far
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: more likely to sit in a place you want to
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: hunt and try to call or decoy one in. Look,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: this is supposed to be fun if that's how you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: want to play it, so go ahead.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: But if you generally don't kill big ones in November
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and you want to and that's your go to strategy,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: maybe hope alone isn't going to cut it. But you're
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: not done with your plan yet. I didn't know this
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: until I actually did it. But do you know why
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: alcoholics and addicts often tell their friends and family that
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they are quitting for good. It's called a social contract,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and it's weirdly helpful because we don't want to look
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: like failures, so we try to see our promises through.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: We do this with ourselves as well in the deer world.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Where I found this to be the most helpful is
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that I don't just decide on where I'm most likely
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: to sit on any given day of the rut, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I also make a pact with myself to sit either
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: until a certain time and then move or just sit
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: all day. It's not like I couldn't break that pack
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you know in my head and go in for some
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: pancakes at ten in the morning, but for some reason
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I usually don't anymore. It's kind of like when you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: work out a lot, you say tonight, I'm gonna go
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: run the seven miles instead of just lacing up your
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: old on clouds and heading out for a run without
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: any distance or route in mind. Because the minute you
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: do that, you give yourself an out, because your brain
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: will decide that three miles is good enough. When it
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: comes to killing a buck during the rut, you can't
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: do better than putting in as much time as possible.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: In high confidence locations, it's the way to kill deer.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And if you don't hold yourself accountable to sit until
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: noon or to go dark to dark, the second guessing
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: can talk you into heading out for a midday nap.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Not only does that take you out of the game
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: because you can't shoot them. When you're dreaming, you know
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that Margot Robbie is your new coworker, or I guess
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: in Mark's case, a new butterfly species was just discovered
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in southern Michigan. But also it puts more disturbance in
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the woods just by your comings and going. This is
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: also the way that most of your competition's going to hunt.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And if you tend to hunt pressure ground and you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: do not sit during the midday hours during the rut,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you're just missing out. I promise you that pressure deer
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: are tuned into us in major ways, and that timeframe
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: when most hunters can't hack it because they don't believe,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: you know, in any real midday deer movement and they
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: don't have a plan, is some of the most important
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: time you can spend in the woods. But it takes
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a strategy, takes a plan. It takes a willingness to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: look at every opportunity you have to be out there
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and decide how to play it against the predicted wind
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and weather and all of the variables that you might
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: bump into. As the bucks get a little silly with
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: lust and they start to cover some serious ground, you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: pair that with a willingness to go mobile or accept
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that what you thought was going to happen didn't and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: that you're going to have to let the deer decide
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: what to do if their movements are just persuasive enough.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And now you have the framework for a successful rut hunt.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: The last piece of that puzzle is just putting in
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the time, which, when you do and have a few
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: years show you that it was the right call, gets
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a hell of a lot easier to do over time.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So remember this when it comes to rut hunting. Hope
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: is not a strategy. It's just a nice little boost
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that will help you stick out a well thought out plant.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So get out there and get your buck and come
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: back next week because I'm going to talk about certain
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: situations during the rut where I will dig into my
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: bag of get rich quick products and really try to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: make something happen.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: That's it for this week. I'm Tony Peterson.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: This has been the Wirre to Hunt Foundation's episode, which
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is brought to you by First Light. As always, thank
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you so much for listening for all your support. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: know you're spending a lot of time in tree stands
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: right now, but you might also be driving somewhere to
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: go do an over the road trip. You might kill
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a buck and want to know I don't know how
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to do a ural amount with it, or maybe cook
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: it up.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: So it's super tasty.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Whatever, you can probably find the answers to a lot
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of your questions, and I know you can find a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: hell of a lot of entertainment at the medeater dot com,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: where we drop new content every single day.
