Sweaty Opener, BLT's and Arkansas long lost Tales: DuckFellas - Ep. 42 · DuckFellas Podcast

0:01
Good evening, good morning to all the listeners out there. Welcome back.
0:05
Duckfellas podcast, episode 42.
0:09
What is up, my guys? Oh, you know, just living the dream.
0:15
One, oh my gosh, one slow day at a time.
0:20
One warm, very warm October day at a time.
0:25
Yeah, it's honestly ridiculous. Yeah. Doesn't that make you just so happy that
0:30
we start? My wife asked me to turn on the air conditioning today.
0:33
I said, absolutely not. Can't do it.
0:35
Just off principle. Like, we're three days away from Halloween. I refuse to.
0:42
Yeah, it's tough because, I mean, it does get a little chilly at night.
0:45
But, man, 80 degrees during the day is honestly ridiculous.
0:49
Yeah, and it was sunny as shit today, too. It was hard than hell out there.
0:55
Yeah, I am over all of it. Yeah. I'm ready for a cold front.
1:01
Yeah, I was excited in the beginning about duck season being here,
1:06
but now I'm just kind of like, let's get cold now.
1:09
I really don't care to go out when it's 80 degrees out.
1:11
Sweating by, sweating really just putting out the decoys at this point.
1:18
Oh, yeah. It's like walking to the truck. What do you mean? Yeah.
1:24
Yeah, but you break a sweat, get down to bed. Damn.
1:28
All right. All right. Well, it's the hardest part of his day.
1:31
Am I wrong? Like, the dude wears his PJs all day.
1:35
Whoa. I don't wear PJs.
1:38
Okay. Go to bed in my birthday suit. Jeez.
1:43
Well, Zach, I never did hear back from you last night. Did you shoot a deer or not? Yes, I shot a doe.
1:50
Did you find the doe? No, I did not.
1:54
Rest in peace she was she's yeah
1:59
she's turned a little harder than I thought she was so my day for Zach,
2:04
That'll happen. Redemption coming soon. Yep. At least it was a doe and not a big buck.
2:10
True. Don't like losing anything, but you hunt long enough, it's going to happen.
2:14
Yeah, well. It's like losing ducks. It sucks, but you hunt long enough, it's going to happen.
2:20
More than anybody likes to admit, unfortunately. Yeah.
2:24
But it's part of it. Yeah, so neither one of you fuckers duck hunted this weekend?
2:30
No. No, I had. had well i mean i worked but not like my job did other stuff,
2:36
you still got paid though i did get paid,
2:40
that's that's key right there that's so so bought me it paid for my uh wetlands
2:46
jacket and my duck oven so,
2:50
oh you gotta did you you did order the duck oven huh yep yep i got the duck
2:55
oven get that in timber and then got the wetlands jacket too because after last
3:00
year's rainy hunt I said not doing that shit again.
3:05
So we went ahead and got the wetlands jacket as well. That's a hunt that I don't
3:10
think you or Cade will ever forget. Me and Austin, we were pretty dry for the most part. Yeah.
3:16
But then we had, there was two and it's crazy. Those two did buy raincoats after that.
3:22
But they actually both bought duck ovens and wetland jackets.
3:26
So I had to, I was like not doing this again. This is miserable. I don't blame you.
3:32
I like, I, I was cold and I was wearing a warm rain jacket or a warm waterproof
3:40
jacket, I guess. So I cannot imagine being fucking soaked.
3:44
Yeah. No, I mean, it was, it was chilly. out granted it wasn't near as cold
3:48
as it should have been for being was that january or december it was right around
3:53
the very end of december if it was end of december yeah,
3:57
and of course we didn't have propane in the boat too so also a major factor
4:02
i could have i could have dried out fairly quick with some propane but we had
4:05
some in the beginning you guys just used it all up,
4:08
it's because i didn't even five minutes yeah i didn't even know it was gonna
4:10
rain and i was sweating setting decoys i'm like oh this will be perfect,
4:14
and then it started raining and.
4:18
Was that the day I got knocked out by the Mergainzer? Was that the day before?
4:22
No, that was that day. Yeah, that was that day. Same day. Yeah,
4:25
that was awesome. Yeah, because we were going to try to recruit one of our wives
4:29
to bring us a bottle of propane.
4:32
Yeah, I remember that conversation. We were trying to figure out if we were going to leave or stay.
4:37
God bless Rachel, because Austin's like, I'll call my wife right now.
4:42
So, Kate, you have to walk 300 yards across this mud flat to get the propane tank and bring it back.
4:50
And he would have done it as well 100 but he might have complained about it
4:55
when he got back a little bit but he'd have been happy when we turned the heaters
4:58
on yes absolutely hindsight glad we left i don't think we would have shot that many more,
5:04
now see trenton has a good comment in here in a very very valid point,
5:09
the only thing you should need propane for is the oven and i agree with that
5:13
i i don't see why you need heaters in a boat all right trenton,
5:16
we didn't get breakfast that day we didn't get yeah we didn't get shit first
5:21
of all it's your boat too like why'd you put the heaters in it you don't think
5:25
you need them austin don't pressure him because i'll take it out don't even go down this road.
5:31
They don't go on the new blind like uh yeah mistakes were made i do believe
5:36
that i think you paid to fix them because half of them were messed up i did
5:41
yeah Yeah, I definitely bought,
5:43
yeah, all new of the, of the valves that go on top of them.
5:48
Yeah. Yep. Gladly do it again.
5:52
I believe it. We had a couple other comments in here. One from Big Hog over
5:56
there on YouTube said, what's up guys, fellas, actually.
5:59
And hope, hope everything is good with you. And hopefully you guys are killing
6:04
some birds where you're at.
6:06
God, I hope so. Jake Deerfield here commented says that I'm a you don't have
6:13
to repeat what he said he's just talking shit about me.
6:17
I love how many people hop in here just to absolutely,
6:21
throw shade at Zag perfect but Jake's talking about he knows one of the guys
6:27
I work with oh thank god I thought he was throwing some sort of racial slur
6:33
at me and I was like alright.
6:37
Give it time Give it time,
6:40
It's coming. I'm sure of that. And we'll catch up with Bill here.
6:45
He said, kill them, boys. Well, it's kind of hard right now.
6:48
But hopefully you're killing them, Bill. And you let us know when they're on their way. Please.
6:55
That would be great. Yeah, no, that would be.
6:59
Hopefully it's sooner than later, too. Because I'm tired of it. Yeah, no doubt.
7:04
I'm going to North Dakota in two weeks. and I'm kind of worried that it's going
7:09
to be the same thing as here.
7:11
It's going to go one of two ways. It's either going to be really bad because
7:16
it's really warm still or really bad because it completely locks up.
7:21
I've seen this before where North Dakota is wide open until about the 10th or
7:26
11th, and then it locks up instantly and they get a foot of snow and it's over.
7:31
Might be. I mean, where you're going, you'll still kill geese and ducks, honestly.
7:35
Where you're going you're pretty safe for even if it does freeze up how did
7:38
i not know that you were going to north dakota i don't know because i've said
7:42
it like seven times who are you going with chris bonner taylor riggan oh damn,
7:50
bonner doesn't even none of those guys even duck hunt i know,
7:55
that's scary that you're going to be the best caller in that group Well,
7:59
thank God they got a guide. Thank God it's guided.
8:03
They'd be cool. Hell yeah. No, it was a hunt that was won.
8:07
And so I got invited on it. And I'm like, well, pretty hard to pass up a free
8:11
hunt. I'll give it a shot, see what's going on. Fuck yeah, twist my arm.
8:16
Yeah. Dude, I mean, we pay for our guide here. He sucks, and he's an ass to
8:21
us, so. Yeah. Wait a minute.
8:24
Who are you paying? Dude, we pay you in friendship. Yes. First off.
8:28
Yeah, I get a government check every month.
8:31
We're acquaintances, so you shouldn't be getting paid for this. Not friends.
8:35
Fraud takes several years to even discover, let alone prove, so.
8:40
That's true. I can't wait till the IRS catches you.
8:45
They probably watch our podcast weekly so you're screwed yes facts,
8:51
Other than that, I went duck hunting this weekend, and it was okay.
8:57
I mean, I don't put much effort in when it's this warm out.
9:01
It's fun to go, get out, and do it because it's early on yet,
9:04
but I just don't have a high drive to really try and find them and kill them.
9:09
Yes. Or try that hard, period. And we never stay out very late when it's this
9:14
warm either. That's not really an excuse, though.
9:18
One of our commenters here, Mr. Brett Henderson, he went out today,
9:20
and he was at the boat ramp by like 8 at the latest killed out 7.30, 8 o'clock.
9:26
Brett's a fucking animal. Yeah, that dude's different. I don't know where you've been, but.
9:30
Well, I heard he, I heard rumor on the street. This is all rumors.
9:34
No, no facts. That he hunts the refuge sometimes when nobody's out there and around.
9:38
That would, that's why there's so many good looking birds in the shop when I go over there. Yeah.
9:44
That makes so much sense. Jokes. This is all jokes.
9:50
It's alright we definitely know the DNR doesn't watch our podcast so yeah we'd
9:56
be well Zach would be in jail not really we we'd be fine I'm not.
10:03
I didn't do anything wrong allegedly yes,
10:08
innocent until proven guilty yes alright we're at that point now let's Zach
10:13
since you've been the one kind of catching this all up Let's get us a little
10:18
rundown on the Coop Wars standings,
10:21
and we'll talk a little bit about that.
10:23
So, man, a handful of coots have been killed so far.
10:28
I do want to point out, so far, first place is two coots, one blind.
10:34
It's Luke McGrath's team.
10:36
Been slamming them. So he's got three points because he sent in three separate
10:41
days worth of coot pictures.
10:43
And they're up to 13 birds. So right behind them is Coot Killers, 2.0, a Graydon Meyer.
10:51
So they're at two points so two days awards of cutes but they're only at six,
10:56
so we've got a couple teams trying to catch up to that 50 quick,
11:00
tied up with them you know guys Chase Sanders or Steve Chase Sanders,
11:06
you can just say Chase the day one you can just say the team names you don't
11:10
have to say the captain's name well I kind of wanted to you know make it personal
11:13
well I mean that's fine I mean I don't know maybe they don't like you maybe
11:15
they don't want you calling them out fair enough just.
11:20
The day one the cute killers two points because they got two days worth of birds
11:24
but they're up to 20 so that is the highest bird count we have so far,
11:29
and then cute killers they're at two days worth of cutes as well mud duck monsters
11:35
they got one point cute the cute pounders at one point.
11:41
And the cute killers not to be confused with cute killers they're at one point
11:46
as well So we got some birds coming in.
11:52
Yeah, we got, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven teams.
12:00
It looks like eight without any, maybe even nine.
12:04
I might have missed one there. Eight or nine teams there with no entries yet, no points.
12:08
So hopefully, I mean, consistency is going to be key here because obviously
12:14
you're going to see that. the team that only got 13 coots killed and they have 3 points.
12:19
They're going to have an advantage, because if I remember right, Mr.
12:23
Henderson is on that team, and he hunts like every day. So if he kills a coup
12:26
today, he's going to rack up some points. So the 50, if you pull up some piles,
12:32
that will matter, because that was five points, right?
12:35
Yes, and think about how many coups hang out in the package.
12:40
Was it three? I can't remember.
12:43
Because you've only been doing one point per day, so I can't remember if I changed
12:47
it to three points for 50 or what.
12:49
It's one a day is it one a day 3.55 for a band I'm gonna have to go back and
12:53
look at what we did I was pulling it up down while we're talking about it uh,
12:59
well okay so it does say three points for every day you kill a coup but we can
13:03
just lower it to three points for 50 and bands since you've already did one,
13:08
not a big deal my bad it's the same math either way basically same same the
13:14
winners are or the leaders are still in the lead yeah yeah.
13:19
But yeah So we're getting some Getting some people going here It's gonna be
13:23
interesting As the season goes on To see if people really start Racking up The
13:27
coot counts Compared to days How big of a factor that plays Or,
13:32
You get 50 coots And a band I mean that's Six points right there That's big
13:37
I can't wait to see Banded coot,
13:40
We don't even have An entry in there We have zero points I'm gonna put us And
13:43
we're in Like what do we have 16 teams we're in 16th place you know I've been
13:51
a loser my whole life so oh,
13:54
don't take it that way buddy cheer up.
13:59
You haven't been a loser your whole life. There was like two years you didn't
14:01
even know what you were doing.
14:04
Exactly. Yeah. Mr. Sanders joined in. He said that if someone shoots a coot
14:09
band, I vote they automatically win.
14:12
That's an interesting take. I mean, it is, but that's all I'm going for then.
14:16
He's probably got a lead on a coot band that he's been chasing down. That's why he said that.
14:21
God, I would probably shoot him off the Des Moines housing ponds if I could
14:28
find some cutes with bands.
14:31
That's a little insane for as little as you get.
14:36
Yeah, but I mean, the guy that ran over a family of geese only got like,
14:39
hey, don't do that again, so.
14:41
Yeah, but he was really old, I believe, wasn't he? They said he did it intentionally.
14:46
It doesn't matter. But he is.
14:49
Oh, so now it's okay if you're old, but not if you're 30? I don't know.
14:52
When you turn 70, try it. All right, let me know how it turns out this year, Tyler.
14:57
I'm right. Damn. That's rough.
15:00
Now we got negotiations going on in the comments.
15:05
For this alleged bandit coot.
15:09
So Cretton's going to pay him $500 if he gets a lead on one? That's pretty easy.
15:15
Do you know where a bandit coot is right now? No, but I could lie about it and get 500 bucks.
15:21
You should have been there yesterday. He was on that pond all day.
15:25
I swear. No one's going to believe you anyways. Dude, with AI these days,
15:30
I could AI a coot with a band on.
15:33
It's like standing in your yard in town.
15:37
We could. And then you're going to see a bunch of people try and wrestle this coot in your yard.
15:44
Do it. Everybody's driving real slow past Austin's house. He's like, hmm.
15:49
Wonder what they're looking for. That would be killer footage on my security cameras. Literally.
15:57
Oh, man. Yeah. So let's move into our next item here before we get our guest
16:06
tuning in at some point here.
16:08
As I think we're going to have a guest here in the next five to ten minutes joining us probably.
16:12
Yep. Yep. I'm getting ready to hear. We'll cover this and I'm texting him to
16:17
go ahead and jump on if he's free. Yeah.
16:20
So as we talked about last week we had some hats designed that me and austin are wearing,
16:28
and zach is not he's wearing filthy spoon podcast hat which if you haven't listened
16:32
to them go check them out they're pretty cool dudes in california,
16:35
they are good dudes uh we sat down with them at the expo i knew you guys were
16:39
both wearing your duck fellas hats i was like you know what i haven't sported
16:41
old filthy spoon in a minute so yeah,
16:45
yeah well if you didn't read the description we have a merch link that is now
16:49
dropped and live we released it to all the members of coot wars what was that last week,
16:55
i believe on friday yeah right before we started coot wars uh we dropped it to those guys,
17:00
so they get some early orders in and then today is the day we're going to drop
17:04
it to you guys so there is comments on the top of facebook and youtube you should
17:09
be able to scroll up find the comment click the link or just go to the description,
17:14
and click the link because it is on both of them.
17:16
But while we're here, I'll pull this up.
17:19
Let me switch to the right page here.
17:22
And this is what the website will look like.
17:26
So we partnered with TrackThreads, a good buddy of ours, Mr. Ryan Leavitt.
17:31
And he's the one that does all of our stuff anyways. And this is just an easier
17:35
way for us to have the apparel there for you guys to get whenever you want and
17:40
order it instead of us trying to buy a bunch of,
17:44
shit and hold on to it and not sell it because I don't know it's a lot of money to spend,
17:50
But this is the easiest way. We can get a lot of designs. There are more designs
17:53
out there, more stuff out there.
17:55
And some of it will be made upon your order. So bear with us here as we get going.
18:00
And if you order just randomly in the year, we may not have certain things on
18:04
hand, but I'm sure it'll be made pretty quickly and sent out to you.
18:09
But we got Coot Wars hoodies and shirts. There's all the hoodies are one brand, right?
18:16
Yep. Yeah. Well, not the camo one.
18:19
No, they're all the same. for the cute war stuff oh yeah we did because they
18:22
weren't going to be and we switched them over to the independent so yep yeah
18:27
and well why don't you go ahead and explain a little bit austin then because
18:29
you got you were there that day and can walk through it here as i scroll through,
18:33
yeah so even though you have the two separate hoodies that just wouldn't let
18:37
us put them all together so the camo one is separate in itself and then.
18:42
Like we were just mentioning all of them our independent brand i believe we
18:46
ended up going with the heavyweight still i mean nothing like nothing crazy
18:53
like you're not gonna sweat your butt off and i'm her,
18:56
the non-camo ones say mid weight and then the camo one says heavyweight i can't
19:01
see yes yeah the camo ones were so the midweight on the camo were,
19:06
sold out with some crazy lead time and he had a midweight and heavyweight there
19:10
and we kind of figured you might wear him hunting anyway so,
19:14
decided to do a heavyweight in that one fair enough fair enough yeah so the
19:19
regular sweatshirts green black brown the,
19:23
shirts i believe black brown and sand and then we also got i don't know four
19:30
or five hats thrown on there maybe even a half a dozen and back to our regular apparel,
19:36
as well too so like the hat that i'm wearing is on there.
19:40
We have this in green and orange as well to the font will match whatever the.
19:49
Rope color is and then like the hat that Tyler's wearing with the leather patch
19:54
on it, the Richardson 7 panel.
19:57
We have those on there as well too with the DFP patch and then also we have
20:03
that option in embroidery with the state of Iowa outline on that as well too.
20:10
So a couple different color options and everything.
20:14
Obviously we like what we like but we know that other people like different stuff as well too so,
20:19
I mean camo's in camo's hot it's really hard to find stuff that is in stock
20:25
like Zach and I I think we sat in Levitt's shop for a couple hours trying to
20:28
figure everything out so.
20:30
Everything that we really could or that we thought that you guys might enjoy,
20:35
that's what we got up there for right now I'm I'm sure or we have some other
20:39
things obviously that we're trying to work on right now pushing out some other
20:43
shirts potentially in the future but
20:45
still trying to work on that see what comes back in stock obviously we don't
20:49
want to put it up there and then have people order it and you guys have to wait for,
20:52
a month and months to get that stuff in so if it's on there good chance that
20:57
means it's in stock and yeah i mean levitt's great to work with his turnaround
21:01
times are are some of the best that i've i've experienced so give it a look and see what you like,
21:08
he's usually really good at getting stuff that we need in and out pretty quick.
21:12
I mean, like last year we ordered hoodies last minute, both times.
21:16
And then we did this website thing.
21:19
I mean, literally last second because you guys just showed up there and said, let's do this.
21:24
Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, I think the turnaround times helped that Zach and I
21:30
just kind of bombarded him that day and we're like, hey, what's up?
21:34
We're here. Like, we're going to get this figured out today.
21:36
So he ended up staying late with us.
21:39
We cranked out that website, got a lot of stuff figured out.
21:42
So super thankful for him and sticking around and getting all that together.
21:47
Yeah, and if you're listening to this podcast, just I'll have a link in the
21:52
description for each episode to on Spotify, Apple, wherever they're at.
21:57
And you can copy and paste that link and go to the site and check it out.
22:02
Maybe order something if you want and go from there.
22:05
But it looks like Mr. Chansey has joined us here. So let's bring him on.
22:10
What's up, you dallians? Oh, shit, we got to turn her sideways. Is that better?
22:15
Oh, I heard bull sitting there. I'll tell you what. That's right,
22:19

22:45
but heck yeah what are you boys doing up in there he has where's everybody located
22:50
at we're all at our own houses tonight and say, you know where I'm located.
22:56
Yeah, sir. Yes, sir. Down here in college country. That's right.
23:00
It's all country in Iowa.
23:03
Another week or so from now, I don't know where I'll be at possibly.
23:06
I could be anywhere in the country.
23:09
You never know where the birds are going to take you. Man, it better be better
23:14
than the last couple years. We better get some water.
23:17
Because where I was hunting, there wasn't a lot of water, and the hunting was shit.
23:21
I mean, not shit. We still killed birds.
23:23
We've got plenty of water right now. That is one thing we're not lacking around
23:27
here. That is true. That is true.
23:30
Now we just need it to not be 80 degrees outside. Oh, dude. The ducks will be drinking margaritas.
23:37
On the beach.
23:40
Yeah we were doing it wrong what is on your on your books for this year's waterfowl hunting chancy,
23:46
so as soon as we get a deer killed a couple deer kill we're gonna hunt iowa
23:50
and kansas and hopefully everything goes smooth there i'd like to fit in a duck here but,
23:57
most of the time i now the last 12 years i've just been deer hunting the month
24:01
of november and december i'm painting like a,
24:04
madman to try to get all my christmas orders done and then in january i try
24:08
to i spend most of the time in Arkansas, up on the Cache Rivers where I spend most of my time.
24:13
So I get my duck fixed there, which back in the old days when I was a young
24:16
kid, man, shit, I would go to the stand in the morning, deer hunt until about 9.30 to 10 o'clock.
24:24
I'd already have my duck boat hooked to my truck.
24:27
I'd get out of the stand, drive right to the ramp at midday,
24:30
hunt greenheads midday on my lakes, kill a limit of greenheads and go right
24:34
back in the tree stand. But that was back when I was running god dang wild, you know what I mean?
24:38
That was back when now I'm like, I don't hate them that bad now, you know?
24:45
So,
24:46
Yeah. I don't know if we'll have not gotten an eye with this year.
24:48
You never know. I might kill some geese or something. I'll tell you,
24:51
I like doing that here and there. It's a geese. They're a lot easier.
24:55
You know, you just, even though they didn't have to stick no damn decoys out,
24:58
just figure out where they're landing and go lay out there. It was one of my
25:01
favorite things to do here the last few years.
25:03
Let them geese, just like on a normal, you know, you're scouting.
25:06
Okay. There they are. They're on that certain part of the field.
25:09
I just go lay my ass right there. Let them come in. Like I got decoys,
25:13
shoot my limit, walk to the truck. No decoys needed. You know what I mean?
25:16
Sounds like an easy way to do it yeah i mean it i mean it was just because it
25:20
was just me you know and so it's like am i gonna go set a big spread out to
25:23
kill a couple honkers you know what i mean so but they come in just like you
25:26
got decoys it's kind of a fun way to do it but i love it.
25:31
Yeah yeah i miss i miss when arkansas used to be consistently good,
25:36
i know man it's you know the last three years have been tough i feel just because
25:41
we haven't had the water and and i was just talking to a buddy of mine you know
25:45
a lot of that stuff if it wasn't grandfathered in with the levees and stuff,
25:49
you ain't it's going to be tough to build levees to be able to get some of that
25:52
woods blocked in so really you got to have,
25:56
you know you got to have some water to get up over the banks at the right times
25:59
and it's like gosh dang it's like a,
26:02
you know it's kind of a gamble and the last three years have been shit but all
26:05
the years previous to that man we always had water in january and you could
26:08
go out the timber no matter what whether it was levied or not and just crush them.
26:12
But the last three years have been, gosh, darn it, man. It's almost like,
26:15
man, is it ever going to, we ever going to get water when we need it anymore? You know?
26:20
Right. Well, I heard a while back that they closed down a couple areas because
26:24
the timber was dying off and they were not flooding them for,
26:27
what, five years or something like that to help it recover?
26:30
Yes, I heard that. And, you know, it's, you don't want that.
26:34
I learned, I got a couple of buddies that are really dialed in with that lingo
26:37
and, and you can only have that water in there a certain time or else it'll kill those trees.
26:41
And there's different places where the water, they left the water in or the
26:45
water couldn't get, you know, released and it killed all them woods.
26:49
And that's when you see, you know, you guys always remember that badass picture of back in the day.
26:54
It's like a black and white picture with like millions of mallards in there
26:58
and all that. But it's, but it's like dead timber.
27:01
You know what I mean? And that's, that's the type of spots you're starting to see here and there.
27:06
And, and obviously if the damn trees, I mean, that was back then when shit.
27:10
But I mean, that was back in the good old days. But like nowadays,
27:14
it's like you want that. You want them acorns fall on. You want that live timber,
27:18
you know, and then them ducks can see that shit, man.
27:21
They can see them big orange leaves and shit on the trees. And they know that's
27:25
the flavor to go down in. And that's where the food's at.
27:28
You know, don't be talking about them acorns fall in the water and get them people all worked up.
27:34
I know, right? Them wood ducks, man. You guys killed them.
27:37
You guys killed them wood ducks with them just chucked full of them.
27:40
I've had them some bitches where they're just, I mean, they're just coming out
27:44
of their mouth. They can't fit no war in there. I'll be honest.
27:47
I can't kill a wood duck to save my fucking life because they don't come anywhere near me.
27:52
Holy shit. Yeah. They're fun. Dude. I got to tell you a quick story.
27:56
So it just popped in my mind. So I have a buddy of mine, Mike Hilder.
28:00
He's actually the conservation area.
28:02
Works conservation at one of my home lakes. And we used to duck hunt like crazy
28:07
together. And we had this doctor in town. He built this big-ass pond, like a 10-acre pond.
28:13
It was pure flooded timber except for like maybe two acres up by the dam.
28:17
And I'm telling you right now, when I went in there, it was like this time of
28:21
year. I went in there. We were young kids. We just got our license.
28:25
So we were 15 or 16 somewhere in there we go down in there and i've never seen
28:29
so many wood ducks in my life there was a thousand to two thousand wood ducks
28:33
in this in this because it was all fresh flooded,
28:37
and it was just the acorns or you know it was just a big ditch up through this timber,
28:41
and we had permission we were the only ones and we built these blinds and got
28:44
up in there we just i mean we shot our damn limit of wood duck we were about
28:48
every time we went down there but what the story i was getting into we were sitting there one day,
28:54
and we were in a shitty spot i mean you know we didn't know what we were doing
28:57
and i look back i'm like what the hell did we set there for you know it could
29:01
have been over there you know,
29:02
and these ducks came in and we needed like one or two more and they came in
29:08
and i got on them and we're shooting and they,
29:11
the big block of timber behind us so they went straight up and i'm shooting
29:14
this thing and i'm like i'm getting bled on,
29:17
and my third shot I finally shoot the son of a bitch and it falls and I catch
29:21
the thing in my blind wood duck that was so cool but he was bleeding on me before I caught him.
29:26
The first shot I dumped I was hitting him lunging him up through the ass you
29:30
know and then it was just raining blood I'm like what the hell is that it was
29:34
blood and then the duck fell and I caught it and my buddy Mikey was there to
29:38
see it but that was kind of crazy,
29:40
wood duck story for him that story reminds me of last year I heard.
29:45
Which one? Yeah. That just reminds me of last year whenever Zach had all the
29:49
geese in his blind and pulled geese out of his blind. Oh, yeah.
29:53
Fitting blood out everywhere.
29:55
When we were in North Dakota, yeah, that was quite the sight to see.
29:59
Yeah, we had a buddy of ours. He threw a couple geese in his layout blind because
30:04
we were just covered up in them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We dump a couple more of them.
30:09
Doors fly open from his blind. He's just covered in blood. And like,
30:13
it sounds like that goose is just beating the shit out of him.
30:16
And he's like, all right, guys, hold on. I'm like, I got to finish this thing off.
30:21
Oh, my God. Yeah, he was up in there cubbing up with that thing in the blind. Oh, yeah.
30:26
Yeah. He had a couple buddies. Yeah, we want to figure out what was going on in the blind. Oh, my God.
30:31
He was honky tonking up in there. But donkey donkey.
30:36
Yeah. Oh, shit. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
30:41
How'd you get into recording hunts or and your and yeah your artwork yeah i you know,
30:48
at a young age man we always just filming and we started out with those high
30:52
h or the high eight sony's eight or high eight little square piece of shit camera but,
30:59
we had those that was what we started out with and we filmed a bunch of stuff
31:02
me and a bunch of my local buddies and we we come up it was a spring team is
31:06
what we called it and we all turkey hunted and then we put our footage together
31:09
It was, it was hokey pokey as hell, but we had fun.
31:12
That was kind of my first film in. And then I got an XHA one or a GL two and
31:17
then an XHA one and then film just random stuff, not to try to like,
31:22
just kind of for my own use, you know?
31:24
And, and then my buddy, Jared Scheffler, he started white till adrenaline.
31:30
The same year that I started kind of doing the hunting shows,
31:33
which I was selling my artwork, the turkey feather paintings.
31:36
And that was back when I was, shit, I was pretty young.
31:39
I had my license and I wasn't old enough to drink.
31:42
But I was traveling to these shows by myself. And I met Jared and saw my artwork.
31:49
But I met him and I've told this story a ton.
31:51
Met him and we became really good friends. And he did come out with a DVD.
31:55
And I'm just like, man, I love, it's pretty cool stuff.
31:58
And it really caught my attention while I ended up becoming really good friends with him.
32:03
And over the years, he asked me, you know, I think the first two or three years,
32:06
he's like, man, you want to do some hunting?
32:08
I'll put a cameraman behind you. And I'm like, I ain't hunting public.
32:11
I'm chasing deer on some, you know, some good ground, knock on door permission.
32:15
You know, I wasn't food plotted up or nothing like that, but it was good stuff.
32:19
And I just like, man, this doesn't make sense for me to go hunt public.
32:22
Like I'm, I'm in kill mode. I mean, I was dialed in.
32:26
Well, then I started losing ground and, you know, from leasing and I didn't have the money to lease.
32:31
And eventually he's like, he knew the time was coming to where I was going to
32:36
take him up on the offer of starting to film with him.
32:39
And, and I lost one of my heart, my core pieces. And I ended up,
32:43
he's like, are you ready? And I said, let's do it. And we started filming.
32:47
And that first year, man, we filmed the DVD, which you can check it out. It's called Defiance.
32:54
And holy shit, it's awesome. That was, I filmed Jared Kiona,
32:58
almost a 200-inch typical on the ground, and that was a pretty cool experience.
33:03
And then I've been doing it ever since then, and I'm thinking that was 2014.
33:07
That was when you guys came out with the DVD? That was when we had legitly started filming together.
33:12
I'm dedicating my fall to filming for Whitetail Drain.
33:16
We dabbled some smaller, like I'd just, they'd come and stay at my place,
33:21
but that was at the beginning of the production. But yeah, the first one we
33:25
did that I was a part of was Defiance, which was awesome.
33:28
So you have to check. Have you guys seen it?
33:31
I have not a say. I don't know. I don't know if I've seen. I've seen a handful
33:36
of your videos, and I don't think I've.
33:37
I'm telling you, the one, Defiance, that is, that's one of my,
33:42
this is the storyline with Jared, that big buck, and filming it,
33:45
and the damn rodeo with this thing, and refining it.
33:48
It was just an amazing thing. And there's not been a story documented like that.
33:53
And, you know, we're hunting where everybody else can hunt here.
33:55
You know, we're hunting public, knock on door. So you maybe heard me say uncuffed.
34:00
Uncuffed means anywhere like we can knock on door as long as i don't know the farmer,
34:07
it'd be the same as you guys knock on the door and get permission so that's
34:10
practically public anybody could knock on the door and got permission there
34:13
type of deal you know um so that's what we call uncuffed and for years i'm like man dude just,
34:19
let me knock on door you know because it was strictly public,
34:23
and the funny part is once we went to,
34:26
uncuffed it didn't even matter.
34:29
I'm like, I can't find no damn deer on any private ground to knock on door.
34:33
It's all, they're all in the public. It's like, what the hell,
34:35
you know, now I can't see them on private to get door. But anyways,
34:39
I've only shot one one uncuffed buck since they're not the last few years.
34:45
It's like everything I've killed has been on public. I've had more action on public.
34:49
Got to go where we're at. Yeah, that's right. That's right.
34:54
Are you guys, you guys are just on, like, just do YouTube, or you guys still do videos? No.
34:59
Well, we've never been on YouTube. We got some teaser stuff that we'll put on
35:03
there to kind of promote.
35:04
It's just hard for what we do. We don't have no, there's no sponsors in Whitetail Adrenaline.
35:07
There's, it's, it's, we ain't going to, how we do it, and the way Jared,
35:14
he films this stuff, and how the editing, I mean, it's like Hollywood production,
35:18
what he does. And to put that on YouTube, there's just no money in it.
35:22
There's, there's money in it, but not how we do it. A lot of the other guys,
35:25
they got sponsors and stuff like that.
35:27
And just, we're doing it. Nothing against that.
35:30
It's just, we're just, we're trying to do it as, you know, raw as we can do
35:36
it and, and not try to build it into something to where it's like,
35:39
Hey, we're trying to push product on somebody. You know what I'm saying? Right.
35:43
So the platform, we got DVDs and some of the stuff is going digital.
35:48
Resurgence on Apple TV. Resurgence is on Apple TV, Amazon.
35:53
If you want to get a little taste on that, if you don't have a DVD player,
35:55
a lot of these kids don't even know what a DVD is. I mean, it's like a record
35:59
to them, you know, or to us, you know what I'm saying?
36:02
But we got a lot of things going digital now jared's got some,
36:05
he got that's uncuffed going in and rental so eventually hopefully we'll get the,
36:10
get everything dialed in there but everything's switching from dvd i mean we're
36:14
always going to sell dvd we got tons of people that collect the dvds and for
36:17
this you know it's kind of cool to have the whole story my favorite honestly yeah and it.
36:23
And we're always going to have the dvds but there's a lot of people that are
36:26
not buying it because they don't have dv player and they just don't want to
36:28
buy it until it goes digital so We're going to try to cover both worlds,
36:31
and hopefully it all works out.
36:34
Yeah, it is cool looking back at, you know, my dad's got a pile of them old
36:38
DVDs. You know, Lee and Tiffany and Ralph and Vicki.
36:42
Oh, yeah. And it's cool. You open them up and it's like, holy shit.
36:47
I remember being a kid and on Saturday mornings, that's, you know,
36:49
on the weekend mornings, that's what he was watching. PNN. PNN Outdoors, baby. Yeah. PNN.
36:55
We couldn't afford cable at that time. So it was always the DVs just on repeat, you know?
37:00
Yeah, no, I get you. Yeah, the PNN. And then, yeah, I remember buying all the,
37:05
my favorite were, I, shit, I had, you know, I had a bunch of the duck.
37:09
I had a lot of like the night and hail duck, duck hunting videos.
37:12
And that was some of the first ones I ever watched that got me dialed in.
37:16
And then the deer hunting thing, I, you know, started watching,
37:20
he, Don Kiske was one of my favorite deer hunters back in the day.
37:23
And I learned a lot from watching his videos and, and, uh, shit,
37:26
man, there's so many classics back in the day.
37:28
You know, of course, Mark Drury and the dream seasons and all that shit.
37:32
But yeah i speaking of i think i have every foils video he's came out with and
37:38
i've got every single one of barney caleb's videos he came out with with and
37:43
he was with the taken series
37:46
yeah and then all like his own stuff and all of them it was,
37:50
i i used to love that stuff and i i could tell you i'm pretty sure i know i
37:54
have all every single one foils came out with and i'm 99 nine percent sure yeah
37:58
and he's all his too yeah heck yeah no i did some artwork for foils and and
38:03
years ago at the hunting shows.
38:06
Because he traveled to hunting shows when i was there so i met him and i got
38:09
to see him this year at delta it was good running into him again and,
38:13
and everything like that but yeah it was cool neat neat to meet a lot of those
38:17
guys through the years and
38:19
you know they always see my artwork and i would even you know back when i was
38:21
a young kid man shit we'd do a little trade give me a couple duck calls my paint
38:25
you felt you know what i mean And I was wheeling a deal on them boys. It all worked out.
38:30
You know, I, speaking of feathers, Zach needs to make a trip up to see you so we can get ours.
38:35
I got them. They're ready. You know what? I'll let you guys know,
38:38
you know, maybe I'll get a little wild hair and go over and hit some public
38:41
over by you and maybe I'll bring them. They're ready. I just got to,
38:45
I mean, I can ship them to you, but I thought I'd give them to you guys in person.
38:49
Well, if you're in Iowa, we could also do maybe a duck or goose hunt and you
38:53
could bring them to us. I know we can do a honker hunt or something.
38:56
I mean, I want to get them to you before December. Yeah.

i he's a special dude that dude is one of the natural ducky sounding dude like
41:50
i i've been around a lot i've been around world champions. They're all good.
41:54
This guy, there's something about, he's an arm-wreaking of a bitch.
41:57
Shout out to August, man. I miss him.
42:02
He's an old race car driver. A hell of a race car driver, too.
42:06
I didn't even know. Now he's just. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's an ornery bastard.
42:13
I like him, man. I haven't seen him. I met him. Okay, this might be. How old are you boys?
42:19
30. 29. Okay, you guys weren't around. I'm 42.
42:25
I feel like I'm 22. I act like I'm 18. That's what my wife says.
42:29
But I will tell you right now, there used to be a duck calling championship,
42:34
And it was the Mississippi River Valley duck calling competition.
42:38
And I would go, I call, I was my first time I ever called company.
42:41
I had no damn clue, man. I, I, I didn't know. I just got up there and started
42:45
getting after it. And I mean, I could have killed some ducks on the stage,
42:48
but I wasn't winning no damn judge.
42:50
But the, I met August there and all them river rats over there, Burlington.
42:56
Let me tell you, there's some hardcore duck hunting.
42:59
I've met so many amazing dudes, built so many relationships over there on the
43:02
Mississippi River from Ryan Egan, Drew Burquist, and Kerry Owens.
43:08
I mean, these are real hardcore. Brett Rudy, all these guys are the hardcore
43:12
river rats of the Mississippi River.
43:14
And man, they're dialed in. They build those big blinds every year.
43:18
Hell, they burn them down because the river takes them.
43:22
Hell, they build – I mean, they just slay ducks to another level.
43:26
I think Drew's been texting me a little bit, and I think I'm going to make sure
43:29
I get down there and hunt with him this year. Yeah, see, him and them boys and
43:34
Quentin and all – them guys are all the real deal.
43:37
I know I need to get over there and see them. Maybe we can plan that and meet
43:40
up over there and hunt together.
43:42
That'd be a blast if we can make it work.
43:45
Yeah, or we can go hunt with my buddy, Kerry, dialed in.
43:49
They slay him. so yeah absolutely different you want to hunt in the river i
43:54
i love hunting because i do i grew up hunting big lakes and then green heads
43:58
out of the cornfields you know and i just don't don't bring up cornfields,
44:02
what's that don't bring up the cornfields somebody's got these are dry these
44:06
are fresh pick cornfield dry field hunting old school baby you know what i mean.
44:12
A dozen big foots and two mojos i wrecked so many damn green heads out of the
44:16
out of the old fields and shit man that was a good day man it's hard to find
44:21
them anymore you know around here for me,
44:26
it's real hard honestly the weird part is we don't have flooded corn here right
44:30
and that's the biggest thing people argue about flooded corn it's,
44:34
takes away from the dry feeding mallards but yeah i don't see it often here
44:37
i mean no i mean you used to no man we used to i'll tell you we create this
44:42
is kind of a fun little quick story here,
44:45
uh you can tell me to shut up whenever you got my want to talk about something
44:48
but i back when i was young we would scout ducks you know early season,
44:55
and that first or you know the first good opener hell we would i would figure
45:00
out where all the local ducks would go and they would be on the,
45:02
the refuge and i would follow them some bitches and there'd always be about
45:06
two three hundred of them together,
45:08
and i'd figure out where they were going to feel feed everybody was jacking
45:12
around killing shovelers and teal and shit i'd go find them greenheads or the
45:16
mallard half of them were kind of they didn't weren't fully plumed you know,
45:21
early season and i'd go figure out where they were feeding on the first cut
45:24
field and we would wreck our limit of mallards you know because i mean tell
45:28
you all you need is two good flocks in whack two each flock and shit you're done you know and it.
45:35
Was such an easy deal we had her lay out blinds pop out 12 bigfoots a couple
45:40
mojos and shit they're coming every time back then every time they're coming
45:44
in and they ain't dealing with no damn mud none of that bullshit,
45:49
I tell you what when the mojos first came out it was a major game changer back
45:53
then it was insane they work good at dry fields still though you know what I
45:59
mean yeah they do isn't that funny how yeah,
46:02
we can find them dry fields loaded up, but it's usually the week end or two
46:07
weeks after duck season is closed out. No doubt.
46:11
About when there's snow on the ground and shit. Now, God.
46:16
Or if you do find one early enough in the year that you can hunt it,
46:19
it's land that nobody lets hunt.
46:22
Yeah. Yeah. Gosh dang. It just, it gets, my mind's just filling up with all
46:27
the amazing field hunts they used to have back in the day.
46:30
And we had some that were like three or four thousand ducks dude and you'd have
46:34
five and hundred of them coming into you you know and it was stupid yeah it
46:39
was dumb but i miss those days that'd be nice i,
46:44
gotta i gotta see it a couple years ago it was we were in north dakota and we
46:48
hit oh yeah they still get them up and they're real good yeah we hit it about
46:52
perfect i mean they got like a foot of snow i think it was three years ago now two three years ago,
46:57
and uh we went to the snow line and there was at one point one of the days we
47:00
hunted we probably had five to ten thousand miles above us just circling doing
47:04
their thing yeah it was a blast yeah,
47:08
heck yeah man that's man that was,
47:11
and the damn wood ducks would get up in there too we'd we'd kill wood ducks
47:15
in there too in them field in the dry field that was so fun man i'm not biased
47:21
at all i'll shoot every flavor man i tell you.
47:26
We had a most amazing shoveler hunt big fully plume beautiful shoveler hunt,
47:32
down there about three years ago in arkansas the most beautiful shovelers you ever seen and,
47:36
i mean we the greenheads weren't real thick at the moment i said let's kill a limit of giant big bull,
47:43
shovelers and dude and i all my buddies got big ones mounted they're a beautiful
47:48
duck dude i'm not obviously we got mallards around i'm not gonna shoot shovelers
47:51
But it was pretty slow, and we just were killing these big old fluffy, beautiful things, man.
47:57
I'd love to have a fully plume shovel on the wall. I'm telling you,
48:00
Arkansas, they get right. Them sumbitches grow beards down there.
48:09
They get big down there and fluffy. That's where the color's right.
48:12
You know what's crazy? I've never killed a fully spregged out pintail.
48:16
But when you go down there, they're all magnums, dude. They're like rooster
48:19
tail feathers come up and things.
48:20
Damn. Yeah. Arkansas.
48:24
Every once in a while, you get lucky to kill one in Iowa that has a good sprig
48:27
on it. But it's not till late.
48:30
You're right. Yeah, you're right. and even late like the ones it's like they're just not,
48:36
i don't know what it is it's just ark and all of them are just the tails are
48:39
just long as shit and man i just love a pintail dude a pintail coming into a
48:45
damn rice field on the deck the sun hitting it that's a beautiful thing man,
48:50
that's we we did kill one last year last year we killed a penny i mean he's,
48:56
he's only i mean good for here but only about that long.
48:59
Look who we got in the house here, boy. We got J. Rod Scheffler in the house. What's up, fellas?
49:06
I remember that. How you doing? We're just getting ready to cook some BL...
49:11
He's a professional BLT cook. There's about four things I can world-class,
49:16
I think, say that I can cook, and that's about it. It falls off quickly after that. Burger?
49:24
Burger? Steak?
49:27
Taco? Like, I can't even order tacos anywhere else. Hey, what makes a good BLT? And then BLT.
49:34
What makes a good BLT? I have never had a better one.
49:38
What makes a good BLT, Jer? Those four things I'm excellent at because I pretty
49:42
much eat that every night.
49:45
I don't know what else you need. One of those four things. So,
49:49
you know, and I'm detailed. So, those I got. Everything else falls off pretty
49:54
quick. Hey, what makes a good BLT? You want to know how to make a good BLT?
49:59
Let's hear it. Okay. Mine is a little bit over the top. All right.
50:02
So the BLT and every detail matters.
50:06
Okay. And they all come together. That's how we became. We became really good
50:09
friends because we make the same BLT. It's the marriage of all these elements
50:13
come together, just like a great production, right?
50:15
It's the marriage of all this great things, this, that, characters,
50:19
customers, equipment, production.
50:22
That's when you get greatness, right? Okay. So the BLT, back to eating.
50:26
Because now I'm getting hungry.
50:28
All right, so fresh sourdough.
50:31
Get that. You've got to be careful with how thick.
50:34
Three-eighths to a half is about all the thicker you want, okay?
50:40
Listen, I'm just going to tell you, try this. Do your bacon in the oven,
50:44
400 degrees. Do it that way. Get your bacon going.
50:49
As far as the toast, when you go to toast it, You don't use a toaster because
50:54
it dries the inside of the bread out.
50:57
You throw a little butter in a pan, and that's how you toast your bread.
51:01
Okay? You got that down. So, the mayo.
51:05
I highly recommend Queffy. Dude, we eat the hell out of BLTs at deer hunting
51:09
camp here. So, this is tea, boys. Queffy, right here, 24-ounce for steak.
51:15
At Costco. That's what I get. I learned this from my very good Vietnamese world.
51:22
He's a very good chef, world-class, I'd say.
51:26
Real egg it's made with. So that's... That's the real deal.
51:30
That's the main ingredient. Okay. We're getting to it.
51:32
Okay. All right. Then with that, you get a little bit of like Asian twist.
51:40
It's rice vinegar. And I wish I had a bottle of it here. That's the one thing I forgot.
51:45
For it but you put just a little bit of that in with the mayo and a little bit
51:50
of lime and a little bit of salt so that's going to be your mayo sauce okay
51:55
and then you do a fried egg you could do a soft egg if you prefer do a fried
52:00
egg or a soft egg actually probably two on your blt,
52:03
and then a little bit extra bacon what they that's the main thing a lot of bacon
52:08
how many times have you been to a damn restaurant they give you two okay two
52:11
pieces of bacon okay yes I will piss the guy off.
52:15
The biggest problem with PLTs you order anywhere is they get the little thin
52:20
pieces of over-fried bacon and a whole bunch of lettuce and tomato.
52:25
Okay, so we got to move on to lettuce. Get some good fresh lettuce and then tomato.
52:31
Tomatoes, most tomatoes suck.
52:34
All right? So recently, not that long ago, I learned about these dark purple tomatoes.
52:39
And if you can find them Or if you know a really good red tomato Which those
52:44
are usually homegrown And I know what color they always are.
52:49
Yeah but they don't taste the same not even close so that's huge tomatoes there's
52:55
nothing worse than a terrible tomato and most are so,
52:59
you do all that you bring it together you know throw your bacon after it's cooked on that
53:05
mayo that's spread across each slice of that bread we're gonna have the best
53:08
blts into in iowa tonight for here right hell yeah i'm looking for you get to
53:13
cooking And then, hey, if you want to throw, I've done this now,
53:16
if you want to throw another little twist in there, you could add tuna or a
53:21
little bit of salmon to it.
53:23
I mean, definitely the salmon. I like that touch. Salmon, avocado,
53:27
and it actually all blends really well. You can do duck on that damn thing, too, bud.
53:32
That sounds like the bougiest BS. Hey, I told you, boy.
53:36
I've ever heard of that. You know how we roll. We roll right here.
53:43
It's no effort because I've hit it so many times. Yeah. It sounds like a lot,
53:45
but it's really not. So we're going to eat good tonight, boys.
53:48
Anyway, that was really okay. Well, I'm going to take a picture. Yeah.
53:51
Yeah. Well, I don't want to keep her from dinner, but what...
53:54
No, he ain't started yet. So I'm letting him cook dinner tonight.
53:59
Are you still taking orders for feathers or what?
54:03
I got, for Christmas orders, I'm going to take maybe five more. I don't want to get...
54:09
December is just... I don't want to pack it in. I got a couple of rig paintings
54:13
I got to get done. So I'll probably take five more. I probably got 40 on the
54:17
list to get done. So I'm pretty much.
54:20
Oh, dude, I get, I get one to two a day probably. How many do you do a year?
54:26
A lot i don't know a couple hundred,
54:30
that's pretty good yeah i mean that's yeah i mean i may i don't know it's different,
54:35
every year but yeah it's been it's been a pretty cool little thing a little
54:39
art niche you know what i mean i'm able,
54:41
i'm able to pay my bill doing it and give me a little freedom to go hunting
54:45
and i don't have to you know work for somebody and
54:48
which is nice i'm very blessed to be able to have that because if i didn't have
54:51
that i have to go get me a side get you know what i mean and or whatever so
54:55
the artworks gave me to kind of,
54:57
the the freedom to be able to run and not have to answer to somebody except for my wife sometime no,
55:04
i mean for those for those that don't know i mean chancy you know he'll paint,
55:09
probably damn near anything on a turkey tail feather and me and tyler both got
55:13
our dogs holding holding ducks so yeah turn out,
55:18
well i'm not gonna i got I got yours done a little something.
55:21
It just, it's going to look beautiful and I'll paint you another one if you don't like it.
55:25
So I don't think I've seen one that you've done. I didn't like, yeah, right.
55:30
I made an executive decision to do something and it's going to be way better
55:34
than what you want. So you, you paint more than I do. So.
55:41
Could you try to paint one? Zach, I would like to see that attempt.
55:46
Hey, here's something you boys could do. Have you seen them funny-ass videos
55:50
where all of a sudden you'll see a couple and they'll paint each other and they
55:54
won't show each other until it's done?
55:56
Did you and your wife do that? No, but I need to because it's hilarious.
56:01
I mean, that'd be fun if you guys all painted like a duck, you know what I'm
56:07
saying, and then showed it on the next deal.
56:10
I like where this is going. Hey, one of you guys might be an artist.
56:13
I don't know, but it'd be just funnier than shit just to see what you come up with. Right.
56:17
It's going to look like we went to the local pre-K class. It's okay.
56:21
You don't want it to look good. You don't want it to look good.
56:24
If you guys started painting, if you guys just painted a badass damn duck stamp
56:29
looking duck, I'm like, I wouldn't be, I mean, it'd be cool,
56:32
but it ain't going to be as funny as you guys painting what you actually do.
56:36
And then it's like, holy shit, look at this thing. You know, that's a duck.
56:41
Maybe you might just have to. Yeah.
56:44
Well, since the duck hunting around here sucks right now because it's 100,000
56:47
degrees, maybe we just do that this weekend in the boat.
56:50
I'll bring the finger paint. That was a finger painting. Yeah, there you go.
56:55
Where are you guys going to go? Well, you don't have to tell me where you're
56:57
hunting, but are you guys going to go this weekend, you think?
57:01
I'll be, I have to work Saturday, but maybe Sunday, I think.
57:04
Saturday morning, I'm chasing some dish chickens. I was going to say,
57:07
we might go out and shoot a couple pheasants.
57:10
Yeah, I'm going to do that in the middle of the day if I have time.
57:13
I mean, we're starting to film, but middle of the day, there's not a lot of
57:17
shit moving. I mean, if I'm on one, but if I got a couple hours,
57:20
I'm going to take my dog in the middle of the day and pop a couple roosters and that'll be fun.
57:25
Zach's already sold a duck painting, by the way. Yeah. If I paint it,
57:29
he'll buy it. So that's going to look real good when his kids look better than what I draw. Yeah.
57:40
I like that sign. Look at this. We were,
57:45
at a big banquet here in Southern Iowa, and my wife bought that one. How cool is that one?
57:50
Oh, yeah. I need one with bush light on it. Yeah.
57:54
I know. Dude, there was one that I liked because they had ducks and deer.
57:59
It was funny because I didn't see the duck, and we were in the back row, and she bought it.
58:03
It was a high dollar bastard. But she wanted to donate. She wanted the sign.
58:07
But there was another sign that had a big old rooster pheasant on it,
58:09
and it said, Budweiser, like old school.
58:12
It was new school, but old school. And I'm like, the Budweiser's been partying
58:17
before Busch Light even was thought of, but the Busch Light one's cool.
58:22
I like the Busch Light one too, but man, that rooster one was the real deal.
58:25
Tyler got a hell of a steal on his. Shut the fuck up, Zach.
58:30
You bought it that night, didn't you? Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Not on purpose.
58:35
Listen, at the end of the day, it's for the Ducks and you got a hell of a sign,
58:40
baby. So that's a nice one.
58:43
It all worked out. I was less than impressed with myself whenever I realized
58:47
I won that bid on accident.
58:50
You guys were the most popular table at the Delta Waterfowl Banquet.
58:55
If there's alcohol involved, we are usually going to be one of the most popular
58:58
tables. Jesus. Unintentional.
59:03
It's intentional because we're just idiots. I got to tell you a quick,
59:07
i'm not gonna tell last name my buddy joseph we were down in,
59:12
we're down in arkansas and we went to a ducks unlimited banquet down there during
59:18
they always have their ducks unlimited banquets during january and shit so it's
59:21
everybody's jacked up and go in there and everybody's in hunting camp
59:25
and the best ducks unlimited banquets i've ever been to like,
59:28
private you know county ones were down there and,
59:31
he was down there one day and he just he's one of those guys he's just he's
59:35
he's worked his ass off to get where he's at, but he's done really well.
59:39
Him and his buddy, him and two of the guys, they just keep their hand up the
59:42
whole time at the auction.
59:45
Ornery bastards and it was the funniest thing i've ever seen because they were
59:49
just buying everything and you imagine sitting there and just watching the guy
59:53
with his hand all up the whole time it was the most ornery thing i've ever seen
59:57
in my life there's anything like it,
59:59
that is diabolical i'd i'd get uh i think maybe three or four bids in and probably
1:00:02
give up and be like this guy's not gonna let me win everybody gave up,
1:00:07
everybody gave up i mean it was just i mean he just bit everybody up and bought
1:00:12
it and it was for the ducks but it was just kind of a funny moment never seen
1:00:16
anything like that no I would I'd piss the guy straight off.
1:00:20
What's that then then banquets get me I'm,
1:00:25
you get a few lattes long neck lattes in you and I had a blast shit I don't
1:00:29
need I had a blast there man it was good to are you are you gonna go to Kansas City next year,
1:00:36
you're damn right buddy I I love that banquet That was a good time for sure.
1:00:41
Jared was with me at the banquet.
1:00:43
You guys remember him there? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm at, yeah, I think,
1:00:48
yeah, I'll be down here at Kansas City. My sister lives in Kansas City.
1:00:51
And so, I'll probably go hang out with her, make a three-day deal or whatever.
1:00:55
But yeah, she'll be right there. And she's never been duck hunting.
1:00:59
She's not outdoorsy. Her husband's not either, but she knows,
1:01:03
she knows duck hunting. She grew up around me doing it. But she was actually
1:01:08
a, cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs for a couple years,
1:01:12
which was cool. Zach might know her.
1:01:15
He was there too. Yeah. Well, that was cool, man.
1:01:20
Yeah, hanging out with the cheerleaders and shit back in the day.
1:01:23
I had a lot of buddies that wanted to come party with it. It was pretty cool
1:01:25
because she would get four tickets to every game.
1:01:29
I looked back and I was like, man, I went to a few of the games,
1:01:32
but I didn't take advantage of it like I should have, man. That was pretty cool.
1:01:37
Yeah, I think we plan on going to Kansas City. I know we definitely plan on going.
1:01:42
Hopefully that comes too, and hopefully we do a booth this year.
1:01:45
Now that we're going to have more apparel and stuff too, and decals,
1:01:48
stuff like that, more of a reason to do it.
1:01:51
Yeah, let's get a damn shit. I might come down here and bebop with you guys.
1:01:55
We can bullshit some duck hunting with some folks.
1:01:57
That'd be fun. I'll tell you, it'd be cool to get a suite down there or something,
1:02:02
and we'll all throw in and stay down close to where it'll be at. Oh, yeah.
1:02:07
Yeah, definitely. need it like walking or ubering distance yeah i mean or line line scootering,
1:02:13

Close enough that we can get a good dinner if we want it, but not close enough
1:06:06
to deal with the city bullshit. But far enough away that my wife doesn't go
