Ep. 465: Foundations - Hunt the Right Scrapes, Right Now · Wired To Hunt Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, and now your host,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Tony Peterson. Today's episode of Foundations, which is brought to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you by First Light, is all about scrapes and how
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to hunt them correctly. Buck signed, buck signed, buck sign.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: The questions roll in by the week, and most of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: them center on scouting and how to use buck sign.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: The thing is, most of the buck sign I care
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: about comes in the form of rubs and tracks. Scrapes
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: don't really get me going a whole lot, at least
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: until a certain time of year, which is right free
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: can know if you want to kill a buck on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a scrape. Mid October is your window, as long as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know which scrapes to hunt and when. Which is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: where we are going with this whole episode. I'm guessing
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that more than a few of the folks listening to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this podcast right now are thinking this is a good
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: time to hunt some wood ducks, or maybe get in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: some last nights on the water catching smallmouth before getting
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: really serious about white tails. Here's the thing, at least
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: from my experience, mid October is underrated. I'm not going
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to pretend it's as exciting as the rut because it's not.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: But it's not a lost cause either, and it's an
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: opportunity for public land hunters as well as anyone who
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: shares the woods with other hunters, to have a last
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: week or two kind of to themselves before the rut.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Hunting army marches into the hardwoods with their brand new
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: grunt too and bottles a dopee, ready to post up
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on every pinch point and funnel in the forest while
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: taking sunrise selfies for Instagram and filming themselves dipping donuts
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: into their coffee for TikTok. If you want to get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: out before that on slot, do it, but do it
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in a way that takes advantage of last week's staging
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: area advice and something else. Scrapes. This is purely anecdotal
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on my part, but let me tell you a few
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: things I really believe about hunting scrapes. The first is
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that when I started bowl hunting, I didn't know anything
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about scrapes other than bucks made them, and I wanted
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to sit over them because I knew bucks made them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I hunted them for years without ever killing a buck
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on a scrape, let alone seeing one use one, or
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: make one. At least to a young, mostly clueless Minnesota
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: bow hunter, they were like crop circles. They just showed
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night, and that was
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: at In fact, I don't think I saw a legitimate
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: buck use the scrape until I was probably in my
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: early twenties. Then it was a scrapper and it didn't
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: register as anything meaningful at all. It wasn't until I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was on the hunt for a monster buck on public
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: land in the Twin Cities in two thousand and eleven
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that got a real lesson on scrapes. While the really
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: big boy had disappeared on me, his younger sidekicks suddenly
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: showed up right where they had been all summer long.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was mid October, it was hot, it was windy
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and really bad weather for white tails, and the timing
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sucked if you believe in that sort of thing. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was tucked into an overgrown fence row, mostly just watching
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: when he popped out of the cat tail slue and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: worked his way down a woodline. That nine pointer. He
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: didn't make it too far before a smaller eight pointer
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: stepped out. They squared off, but didn't fight. Instead, they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: stood ten yards apart and both made scrapes in the dry,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: sandy soil. It looked like a whole digging contest from
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: my vantage point. The bigger buck worked his antlers into
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: an overhanging pine bow, took a leak on his tarslo glands,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and then made his way back to the cat tails
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and out of sight. The following day, it got hotter,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it got windier, and less likely that anyone else would
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: go in there to hunt, so I grabbed a stand
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in some sticks and I hiked in. I set up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: seven yards from his scrape in the best tree I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: could find, and settled in to sway in the thirty
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: mile per hour wind. It wasn't all that much later
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: when a doe came out, which got my attention because
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was hunting hungry and I had ant los tags.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I also thought the odds of the nine point returning
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: were very low. As she fed closer, I looked around
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and saw times coming out of the cat tails, which
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: meant my focus shifted in a hurry. The wind meant
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that calling was out of the question, so I just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: had to cross my fingers and hoped the buck returned
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to a scrape. When I lost sight of him. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: figured that wasn't going to happen, but it did. With
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of shooting, light left and at the shot
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he took off cartoon level fast, and although I didn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: see it, ended up dying in the middle of a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pond that was deep enough to make me nearly swim
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to retrieve him. Killing a really good buck in those
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: conditions on public land on a scrape left the mark
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on me. It changed how I looked at hunting at scrapes,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which was further solidified a few weeks later when I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: aarrowed a great ten inner as he worked a scrape
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. That buck, traveling after a five days stretch
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of rainy, nasty weather that finally blew out, was working
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a scrape when he was supposed to in the morning
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: after the rain during the rut. Together, the two bucks
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: made me realize that I was looking at scrapes as
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: fools gold. Yet in a span of three weeks, I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: turned a clunker of a season into one that looked
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good, all because of scrapes. Since then, I've spent
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of time thinking about and hunting scrapes, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I really believe this is the time when most white
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: tail communication happens with them, but not all scrapes are
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: created equal. Just like the field edge rub, a scrape
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: on the edge of the soybean field is probably not
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: your best friend. It was probably made at night, probably
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: gets visited at night, and probably doesn't do you much
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: good as a hunter. Now, if you're in a secluded
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: spot with low hunting pressure, this might be worth setting
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up over. It could really concentrate any movement you're likely
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to see during shooting hours, and since you're already hunting
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: over food, you might as well get in a downwind
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: position to shoot the scrape just in case. A scrape
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in the woods might be a different story. Might might
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: be a different story, especially a good size scrape, because
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this often indicates you're in a travel hub. If the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: scrape has a licking branch, then you're in business. If
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't, forget it. It's worthless. If you don't know
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: what a licking branches, walk up to a scrape and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: all hell, just google it. But when you're on the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: woods and you find a scrape, look at the ground,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: then look up four or five six ft in the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: air and there will be a branch that was chewed
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: on and it looks like it's expertly twisted to hang
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: right over the scrape. That's real important. Now, A dished
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: out scrape in this scenario is one that is worth
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: thinking about. Usually it will be in a place where
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: dear end up as they travel through and stage, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it will be communications central the licking branch, which is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: more important than any amount of exposed dirt provide. It's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a spot for all bucks to leave their calling card
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: via the preorbital glands on their forehead. In both in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: person observation and after running trail cameras on video mode
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: over scrapes. I've never seen a buck work of scrape
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that didn't rub his face on the licking branch. It
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: seems to happen every time, actually pawing out the dirt
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and peeing down their hawks to carry the scent away
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: from their tarso glands. That's another story. Sometimes they do this,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sometimes they don't. You might ask why, which is a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: good question, and I don't know the answer. I also
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: don't know why you occasionally see a buck walking through
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the woods making what looks like random scrapes along the route,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you know, every Maybe it's just a natural inclination that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: allows them to saturate the area with his scent. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's a different behavior than visiting a community scrape and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: adding to the matrix of scent deposited there by visiting
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: bucks and does And that's right. The ladies use scrapes
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes too, but it seems like they are almost always
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: interested in the licking branch and not the piste soaked
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: dirt to white tails live by their noses, and scrapes
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: sure seem to be away for them to check in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: with daily updates, sort of like the dear version of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: social media, without all the ads or selfies or humble
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: briggs or other bullshit. The key takeaway here is that, dear,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do visit scrapes at night and sometimes in the day,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and if you find one that is ripe, you might
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: kill a buck on it. But how do you know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You know by location and through trail cameras. I'll get
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to location in a second, but let me first dive
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: into monitoring scrapes with trail cameras. It's fascinating. It's also
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: dangerous because this is often a here this week but
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: gone the next week's strategy. If you have a cell
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: camera and they're legal to use, setting one up over
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a scrape in October will tell you a lot. If
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you're on a traditional camera or three, you can learn
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot from them too, but you have to go
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in to check them, which means more intrusion in the woods. Obviously,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: when I'm in this position, I tend to slip in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: as if I'm going to hunt. Then I check the camera,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and if it's some daylight visitors, I actually probably will
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: hunt if the setup is right. If not, it's time
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to slip out and head somewhere else, or back off
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and just observe the area. Now, as far as good
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: scrape locations go, they have to be where the deer
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: want to walk first and foremost. It doesn't matter if
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you find scrapes where you want to hunt. If it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: not where the deer are likely to walk during the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: daylight hours. What happens there is that they visit at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: three in the morning, and that's totally worthless to you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Scrapes on wooded ridges, deep in the swamps, where three
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: fingers a slightly higher ground meet next to the lowlands,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: or where a hardwood point next down to feed into
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: distant egg fields are all spots where a scrape could
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: really round out your hunting plan. Now, don't just get
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: excited when you find a car hood sized scrape with
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a licking branch hanging over it, because it has to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: be in a great spot and you have to be
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: able to hunt it. This is trickier than it sounds
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: because it's so easy to find a scrape and decided
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to climb up ten yards away so that you can
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: arrow any heavy beam visitors who are surely coming. Because
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you're hunting in middle to late October, you've got to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: consider the cover. Consider the reason for a buck to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: be in the area and moving in daylight. Is their
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: security cover around? Are you fairly close to some known
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: or suspected betting areas? Does he have to put himself
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in any real danger to get there, like by traveling
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: through openings or simply covering a lot of ground. If
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: he can get up in the late afternoon and work
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: his way to the scrape without getting into trouble, you're
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: onto something. But now you gotta think about the wind.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: This is a big one because you want to be
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: down wind, but so does he. Most bucks I've seen
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: approach a scrape to work it, and they just come
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in from downwind, it's just how it happens. This is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: where a lot of hunters get into trouble because they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: think they have to be within easy shooting distance of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the actual scrape. If you can get that and play
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: some type of train feature like a steep drop off
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: or a lake that simply won't allow a buck to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: get down wind of view, then by all means hunt
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that sucker that way. But if you can't, which is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: really common in flatter areas like you'll find in many
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: plain states, or when you're dealing with big woods bucks
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in a pile of different regions, you might want to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: back up. This is a hard thing to do, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: instead of planning to shoot the scrape, I sometimes set
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: up fourty or fifty yards down wind. This might sound
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like I know that bucks will always approach from twenty
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: five yards down wind, and therefore I've played chest to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: their checkers. That's not the case. What I'm doing is
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: just playing it safe, and I know that the bucks
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that visit scrapes are often in a staging mood. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: often mill around and are highly collable when they're in
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a comfortable spot. If a buck walks right into a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: scrape and doesn't give me a shot. It might be
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: a matter of a couple of soft grunts or bleeds
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to get him into range, or I might just see
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: something to work with for the following day's hunt. What
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do is blow them out of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there by crowding right into this scrape if I can't
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: get away with it. Sometimes this cautious approach absolutely burns me,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: because they do just march right in and work it
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: without thinking too hard about wind direction. That seems to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: be mostly a young buck move, however, and not as
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: common with older deer, So I just play the odds,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and you probably should too. You should also pay close
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: attention to the weather when you're building a scrape hunting plant. Now,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: this didn't come from me. It's been in the deer
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: hunting zeitgeist for a long long time, but it's worth repeating.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It seems that bucks are interested in freshening up scrapes
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: after a rain. That Illinois buck I mentioned earlier, he
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: was absolutely on that program when I airrowed him. I've
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: seen other bucks do this as well, and since they
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: live off their noses and olfactory communication is huge in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the white tails world, it just kind of seems to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: make sense. It might also be bs, but that's okay.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Deer move when it rains, and they move when fronts
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: blow through. Now, even if they don't think, holy cow,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that rainstorm last night probably removed all my sweet glandular
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: calling cards they left for the ladies, or the thinly
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: veiled threats of violence from my rivals. They're out there,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: moving around when the rain is falling and after the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: rain is quit it. You should hunt those conditions, whether
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you're on private land, public land, clued into giant community scrapes,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: or couldn't reliably tell a scrape from a spot where
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a fox squirrel dug up a walnut. Now, I have
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to say this as a disclaimer, Scrapes aren't the answer
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to all of our deer hunting problems, even if you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: time it right, hunt when the conditions are favorable and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: identify a perfect scrape in the perfect spot. Scrapes are
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: primarily used at night. They're far from sure things. When
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you're stuck hunting between first and last light, they can
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be the ticket, but more importantly, usually just show you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: where lots of deer travel throughout the day and night. Now,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: even if you're in a low density situation, like on
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a big woods up north type of hunt, the right
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: scrape can clue you into a spot where deer like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to be at some point in the week. This is
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: good news and can allow you to either focus on
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the spot or use it as a starting point to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: backtrack from, kind of like when you find a monster
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: buckbed tucked into a small island in the swamp. Clues
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they are important. Maybe you won't arrow a buck on
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a community scrape, but given its location, it will give
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you an idea of direction to travel, and that will
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: lead you to a softer edge deeper in the woods,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: or a benjy hillside where he sleeps away the midday hours.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Or maybe just finding one scrape that checks a bunch
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of boxes will get you into the woods when the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: rest of your hunting competition is home watching football and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: thinking that there is no real reason to hunt when
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it will be on fire in a couple of weeks.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That might be the best reason of all to get
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: into the woods and set up well down wind of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a scrape, So go do that. Just kill one before
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the red base hunter parade shows up and changes everything,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: or you'll just get clued into the buck concentration. Like
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I said, this is something just worth repeating and always
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: paying attention to, whether you hunt private ground or public
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: A place with a well used scrape, like I said,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: usually where deer concentrate and where the odds are high
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that multiple deer will travel through there. Otherwise what's the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: point of I'm trying to communicate with one another. This
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: means that instead of thinking of just sitting over that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: scrape as a strategy, that that pot up dirt with
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a well used looking branch might just be giving you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a peak into dear behavior in the moment. The bucks
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that got blown out of the swamp on duck opener,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they might relocate to a deep woods basin where they'll
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: established scrapes. Right now, fresh well used scrapes indicate you're
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: probably in a good area, but that require a little
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: fine tuning. This is why I always bring in the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: prospect of observation stands. You've heard me preach this over
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and over again. If you find a scrape that checks
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: all the boxes, but you sit over and it doesn't produce,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? Or if you find an area
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: where there are several scrapes in a point of woods
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that leads out eventually to a pickcornfield. What does that mean.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: It means you know something about deer concentrations right now
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and likely your travel roads. That's not nothing, even if
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it might be disappointed to think that you could just
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: find the right scrape, sit over and fill your tag.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The white tail woods are too fickle for that to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: be a totally consistent season to season strategy, especially if
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you hunt in public land. But it can happen, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't, you'll probably learn quite a bit about
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: how to use the knowledge of scrapes to keep the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: hunting fire burning and the action going. That's a sweet
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: consolation prize. Now, next week I'll start to dive into
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the very first stages of the pre rod where this
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: scrape strategy might hold out or it might die. It's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: okay either way, because you're going to get a lot
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: more options when it comes to killing a buck simply
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: due to the dates on the old calendar. That's it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for this week, my friends. As always, thank you so
