3:00
There we go now you can hear us bro we'll find out no that's soon the sound coming through,
3:07
austin still what what what's going on i think look at the nostril hang on you
3:16
might hear uh there it is now we got some do we have sound through i can see
3:22
the stream oh i could see the bar going out.
3:26
Translator, thumbs up. Thank you. Technical difficulties this evening. Morning.
3:32
Way off. What day? Let me tell you something.
3:38
Well, now that we're here, welcome to the Duckfellas Podcast,
3:42
episode 19, with host Tyler, Cade, and Austin.
3:48
It was a pretty fun week this past week. We had a new race banquet.
3:51
That was a blast. Deleted about 75 too many beers. Yeah.
3:57
No, there were some beers that got deleted from the world.
4:01
We got to do our best. I got about 75 too many fucking jello shots. Yeah, you did.
4:08
Jello shots were flown. Yeah. I'm sure. I drank Friday. I drank pretty hard Friday night, too.
4:14
Yeah, you did. And I was a little hurting on Saturday.
4:18
But I wasn't hurting yesterday which is weird because I drank way more beer
4:21
Saturday night than I did Friday night.
4:24
Yeah, for you I almost wonder if you were so quote unquote hurt from Friday
4:29
that you just couldn't hurt yourself.
4:31
But me, I have no idea because I didn't drink that many on Friday and then I
4:34
drank shitload on Saturday. If that's possible I now know the secret.
4:39
Dude, it happens to me every time. Yeah. I can get if I go on like a two day
4:42
vendor there's no hangover the second time. You just drink the hangover of it.
4:46
Hmm. then it's done one but that like two or three days after yeah no good no good mr george.
4:54
No the banquet was a pretty good time we were all there a bunch of friends were
4:58
there and seemed like a pretty good turnout yeah it was really good turnout
5:02
honestly i think uh most of that was the weather that we had it wasn't too nice
5:06
it wasn't two feet of snow,
5:09
yeah yeah it wasn't like it was out today and yet where it was 70 degrees sunny
5:14
and beautiful If we'd have had that, I feel like our turnout would have been less.
5:17
People would have been like, yeah, fuck it. We'll just drill in the backyard. Yeah.
5:21
So that definitely worked out. Good time. Either way, I bought an e-bike.
5:25
You did. I spent way too much money.
5:27
The max legal wattage for public lane. So we're ready. We're ready for that. Get a little cart.
5:34
Pull us in that kind of. Be set. No, I just got to get one. Yeah.
5:38
That's what it's awesome. Yeah, it's fucked.
5:41
Well, I mean, I don't have much really to touch on other than that this past week.
5:46
It was a pretty, I was off all week, but I couldn't go anywhere.
5:49
It's my truck. Don't run.
5:53
Sore subject. Yeah. Still fighting that. Yeah. Hopefully that's figured out
5:57
tomorrow. Cratch out. Any time.
6:00
Yeah. No, I had that on Friday night.
6:03
So we're, we're pretty much over that. Yeah. You did. Indeed. Yeah.
6:09
Yeah, Friday night was not. And nobody got the blunt of the crash out.
6:14
It's just a crash out and I went and got drunk. Yes, indeed.
6:19
The only waterfowl related somewhat news that we have, the last two days the
6:26
snows have been fucking insane flying over here.
6:30
Yeah, I think I think it was Friday. Yeah, Friday they were pretty thick,
6:35
but like yesterday and today was just insane.
6:37
Yeah, but the speckle belly's flying over Friday.
6:41
I about went outside and started blasting.
6:43
I couldn't hear myself think I was over it.
6:48
Don't giggle chicken. Yeah, but no, it's gonna.
6:51
I did see in the 10 day forecast, we get cold again here. I think next weekend,
6:56
or like right after the weekend.
6:58
Yeah, I know that like dive, it dives down all week.
7:01
Yeah, like next Monday, it's like 35 for a high, I think.
7:05
Yeah, and the of those are like in the team yeah yeah and i i looked at the
7:09
forecast in north dakota and they're.
7:13
Not even get they don't get the teens hardly and they get in
7:15
the single digits and almost below zero but they don't
7:19
get any snow up there it's on you push them back i mean
7:21
right they're gonna blow through here pretty quick like yeah this
7:24
week if you're not sunken you're really missing out or i don't know at least
7:29
but this week i think we're gonna touch on well to kind of recap the meetings
7:34
that we everybody had this past week kind of the input that we've heard and
7:38
the input you've got that from the meeting. They've been okay.
7:43
But they went they went good for what you can expect out of that type of meeting.
7:47
Obviously, you're not going to see a whole lot of progress or a whole lot of
7:50
anything come from it directly and right away.
7:53
But you can get an idea of what you need to do or what needs to be done and
7:57
what the DNRs will and the word could be on.
8:00
Yeah, the other thing too is like that meeting is for every style of hunting.
8:05
It's not just waterfowl, obviously. So there was a lot of deer talk brought
8:09
up and some interesting takes on what we should do with that.
8:16
One of them that cracked me up was they were talking about deer,
8:19
I think, or maybe it was what they were talking about.
8:23
But one guy just jumped up and was like, we need to get rid of the geese.
8:26
Like there's way too many geese. And I'm like, I agree. Let's raise the limit.
8:30
Let's annihilate them. Yeah. Yeah, that was the first, like,
8:33
audience complaint was, and this dude was obviously not a waterfowl hunter.
8:38
Not by any stretch of the imagination.
8:41
It might have been on, like, the squirrels topic when they did the squirrels. I don't know.
8:47
It was way early, and they were talking about nothing to do with waterfowl.
8:50
And this guy was, let it rip.
8:52
Well, that guy was the guy that asked if we could get a goose Caesar. Yeah.
8:57
We already have it. We got one.
9:01
Good news is the Berkeley should have wiped out quite a few this year.
9:07
While we're discussing this topic, if anybody that attended the meeting that
9:11
has anything they wanted to point out or something they didn't get across that
9:16
they'd like to have introduced to somebody,
9:20
just like a biologist or whatever, just leave a comment.
9:23
And we can also mark it down and get to that.
9:27
Or if maybe we talk to him, like I talked to, well, we all talked to Todd afterwards,
9:32
and then emailed back and forth to Todd this past week.
9:36
But what was the first one you know
9:39
it was definitely an experience being there the people
9:43
that are in the room unfortunately when i say anybody's uneducated or something
9:48
like that but the the people that you had they had in the room and just not
9:55
the people you need to like really make progress not probably like fair or like
9:59
even reasonable stuff on a lot of
10:01
things, which I get it. I mean, everybody's got their opinion.
10:04
They want stuff to change, but you got to understand it from both sides of the spectrum.
10:09
Yeah, it was odd. Some of the shit that people were saying, it's like, do you live here? Yeah.
10:15
I mean, I get it. Like one topic was brought up like extending deer season.
10:22
Yeah, the gun season. Yeah, because they like they didn't have time to make
10:25
it. It's like, well, I mean, unfortunately, we could only allocate to kill so many deer.
10:29
Yeah, and the shotgun seasons absolutely fucking wipe them out. Yeah.
10:34
Most of the New York Tales are not shotgun season. Or muzzleloader season,
10:38
whatever we got now. What is it, three different?
10:41
Yeah, three, technically. Early muzzleloader, you have your shotgun season in
10:45
the middle of all that, and then late on the later. Yeah.
10:49
I can't get trapped with that silent character. Then you have bow seasons.
10:53
That's what I would do if I was piggybacking the deer hunting,
10:56
but likelihood of that happening, like 0.01%.
11:00
I gotta be really bored and just so mad at the ducks. I can't even go out there
11:05
and stay and looking at them anymore.
11:06
And when that happens, you're just going to sleep. And then the next day you're
11:10
like, yeah, fuck these ducks. Let's go kill them.
11:13
Ask me how I know. I've seen it 24 hour reset.
11:18
And then, you know, usually on that day I reset, I go scout and figure out what
11:22
the hell's actually going on and then back to killing him yeah or trying to kill him at least,
11:27
i mean after so after we talked to todd i felt pretty good
11:29
just hearing him and like talking to him in person and kind of seeing that he
11:34
wants to do stuff obviously he's just over the red rock area right and he's
11:39
very limited on what he can do but he's not one of those guys that was just
11:44
like no not we're not going to entertain that we're not going to look at that or anything like that.
11:49
Like he was very open and receptive to a lot of the ideas we brought to him.
11:53
And even in the email, you know, pretty open, pretty willing to discuss stuff
11:57
and try and work on things.
11:59
Yeah, and it wasn't just us too. I mean, he had a line of like 15 people waiting
12:03
to talk to him when we were talking to him.
12:05
I know, which I wish we would have had longer to talk to him.
12:07
Yeah, but also at that point, I mean, everybody deserves a chance to speak,
12:12
so we got our quick little talking points across and we let everybody else have at it.
12:18
I know one of the main things that he wants to try and get done before he's
12:24
quote-unquote retired or done doing this was these pumps.
12:28
He wants to replace the pumps at Hartford and Swan.
12:33
That's going to be a major feat to accomplish. I don't think it's out of the wrong possibilities.
12:38
I mean, heck, they just spent probably millions of dollars on the studying and
12:41
construction of this Coal Creek wetland project.
12:45
So definitely not impossible but it's gonna
12:49
be harder to do yeah for sure and i
12:52
didn't realize the pumps were that old they're what 44 45
12:56
yeah 44 that's yeah that's old yeah
13:00
it's time for new yeah yeah i mean
13:02
well that's what he said too is like it's just every year is
13:05
a battle to get them up and going and that's some years even when
13:08
we have ample water to pump into the places we can't
13:11
get the pumps going the pumps are shit yeah or we don't have diesel and
13:14
that's one thing that he brought up that they're i don't
13:16
know they're willing to actually accept donations now on diesel fuel
13:19
and see so as we get closer to hunting season maybe we can try and get something
13:24
together to help fund funding pumping these areas because i mean that's all
13:30
these areas are a big part of why we hold dogs yeah i mean they got the best
13:33
moist soil that we have in the area more or less because the lake is so depending on rain.
13:38
If we get a bunch of rain, the lake's trash. Yeah.
13:42
We'll have the willows, but that'll be about it. Yeah.
13:46
But, those pumps are very expensive. We're looking at 196K per pump. That's a lot. Yeah.
13:54
I mean, I imagine Pookie has that somewhere in the same place.
13:58
He can pick out and he can probably poke out. He can probably donate one.
14:01
I'll lift up my mattress, see what I can do.
14:06
That'd be great. That'd really help out if you really want to be generous like that.
14:11
I'll step up just for you guys, though. They might even put a little sign of
14:15
a Pokemon card. Oh, next to the pump? Now we're talking.
14:19
No, I want... If I make this happen, I need, like, just a billboard face shot
14:25
of me out there. We'll just call it Cookie's Pump. Yep.
14:30
Cookie's Pump. Be perfect. That'll be good.
14:34
But no, that's going to be... That's going to take organization from... Everybody.
14:39
Yeah. I mean, you're going to need Delta to really step in and Ducks Limited.
14:43
Yeah. because the DNR is going to put forth some money but they're not going
14:47
to put they're not going to fund all of it I mean that's a lot of funds to dump
14:50
into one simple thing I could realistically I could see you getting the DNR to,
14:57
put up about 50k a year maybe yeah to replace like if you were able to get the
15:02
other 150k you could buy a place to two months within two years yeah
15:06
I don't think that's out of the realm of crazy but it's 150,000 stole I wanted to gather up,
15:14
none of us here have that kind of money laying around to throw away so then
15:17
you add the extra not extra fuel but the fuel cost on top of that too yeah yeah,
15:23
and that's one thing you said too about getting new pumps it'll be way more
15:26
efficient like the bus they have now they do terrible on fuel they just eat
15:30
through it and they don't pump water for shit no,
15:34
So that'll be cool. Hopefully we can make some headway through the coming year
15:38
or two on that, at least getting one swapped out.
15:40
I originally thought he wanted to do the spawn one first, but after the email,
15:45
I guess he wants to do hard work first.
15:47
Because that's the one he wants. But either way, I don't care.
15:50
I mean, if we get the spawn, I don't care which one gets replaced.
15:53
Let's just do one and move on to the next, see what we can do for the next one.
15:57
Another thing that he brought up was drone spraying, trying to kill down some
16:01
of the overgrowth that we have in some of these areas that make it not huntable.
16:05
Like, I mean, there's some areas we have that generally will hold ducks and
16:09
ducks will roost in it, but it provides no food value.
16:11
Yeah. And you can't even hunt it because it's just so overgrown.
16:14
So that'd be something to put in a while. Our students are coming back. Yeah.
16:19
I don't think nobody else heard that, though. Yeah, I'll do her in the vial.
16:25
Shit. What do you guys think about the drones for? I think that'd be pretty
16:28
neat to, I think that'd be something easy to, like, get together.
16:31
I definitely don't hate the idea. I mean, it's a pretty popular thing.
16:35
There's a lot of different companies that do it now.
16:37
Yeah, it seems to be getting more and more popular.
16:41
It seems very efficient. And a lot of these smaller row crop fields,
16:46
I've actually seen people sitting out on top of their enclosed trailer with
16:51
the controller, and they pop that thing up in the air and then hit the grid,
16:55
put the controller down, and that thing just cruises, does its thing.
16:59
It's kind of nifty. Well, I mean, you take away the fuel cost completely.
17:02
They just got a charger battery. I mean, that's... Yeah.
17:05
That's a big battery in that thing. They're a big drum. Yeah,
17:08
but they're still way cheaper than an airplane. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
17:14
Don't know i think that'll be something that's actually easier than what people
17:17
think to get accomplished and it's pretty
17:20
inexpensive i mean you're more or less if you can get the time and labor like
17:23
the the time donated and throw some money to the company for come out and doing
17:27
it yeah and then i mean the dean already has the herbicide so one exciting thing
17:33
that we found out was the core engineers finally completed their projects at
17:39
the dam here at red rock so So they say.
17:44
Even Todd said that he's like, yeah, they say they're dead. Yeah.
17:48
But, I mean, there's nothing coming down in the pipeline. Right. I looked into it.
17:53
So you're looking at like probably five years. By the time they study it,
17:57
unless it's like a major repair that needs to happen right now.
18:00
Yeah. You're five years away from the project. Yeah.
18:04
That'll make a big difference on actually having water during the waterfall
18:07
season because, what, this year they told us we just weren't getting water, was it? Yeah.
18:12
And then we got water. Yeah, we do. But it's always been late.
18:17
So one thing Todd said is he would include us. He submits the plan,
18:22
he said in the summer, but he also said August.
18:25
So hopefully he submits that plan here beginning of August for water elevation
18:31
and timelines for what he would like the Corps to raise it to,
18:34
obviously. Mother Nature, depending.
18:37
But, I mean, maybe we have a fighting chance of having water for all of hunting
18:42
season instead of half of it.
18:45
And Red Rock doesn't have to supply water downstream either,
18:48
so they can, if they wanted to, shut that thing completely off and get us whatever they want.
18:52
Not quite. They gotta have the hydro down.
18:56
But even that is a pretty low outflow. We pretty much gotta be in a drought like we have been.
19:03
There's that. The light's ripping right now. We're at like, I think 15,000 inflow. Yeah.
19:10
So. Yeah, the river up by Vandalia is full. Mm-hmm. That's what I heard. Full.
19:16
I can't, I can't do it down. So I don't think it's the orbs.
19:19
Dude, you get it? I do it right up there. Yeah. Yeah.
19:22
I need somebody to meet me halfway to charge it, and then meet me halfway again
19:26
to charge it, and then halfway again to charge it.
19:29
Let's get you a solar panel charger for that thing. We'll just let you ride around.
19:33
Dude, that would probably work out. pretty good. It was my grand old time.
19:36
You can get some pretty big solar panels. Oh yeah. It's real.
19:39
You'd even have like a little umbrella and just put it over top of your head.
19:43
Now we're thinking, dude.
19:44
Yeah. Keep you nice and cool. Yeah, I want to have the sun beating on me the
19:47
whole way. Keep your battery charged up.
19:49
Have that central AC going when I'm doing 20-pods. You know, I like,
19:55
Another thing, he didn't discuss the Coal Creek project, but he didn't really
19:59
go in depth on it. No. I didn't think.
20:01
I mean, it was pretty limited information that he really gave out,
20:04
and he didn't even announce it during the meeting. Like, it was a separate deal.
20:08
Like, when we went and talked to him at the end. He did announce it in the meeting.
20:12
But, I mean, he just... Well, he just said that we have an exciting area,
20:16
and come see me if you want to know more about it.
20:18
Oh, okay, dog. Yeah, cool. Couldn't talk to you anyways.
20:23
So they're going to begin raising the water in that or they're going to close
20:28
the gates to whatever elevation they want them at at the end of August.
20:33
So you're not going to teal hunt that area ever. I mean, unless we get a bunch of rain right away.
20:40
Unless we're way flooded out throughout the entire spring and summer.
20:45
Yeah. Teal hunting that area is going to be a no-go, which is fine.
20:49
But that should... I mean, yeah, a month and a half before our duck season opens
20:53
at that point. It should be pretty easy to get water in there, I think, at that point.
20:57
I mean, all you need is a couple of rains and let that creek start moving.
21:00
Yeah, like you were saying when you went and looked at it, we hadn't had any
21:05
measurable rain that would make that creek flow. And that was...
21:08
Yeah, no. It was rolling pretty good. So that's going to be exciting.
21:13
I am really looking forward to that area and what it can produce.
21:16
I think it could be a great thing for the area. Mm-hmm.
21:20
Is there anything else I've missed on that?
21:22
We got turned down for our boat ramp lights. Yeah, we did.
21:26
Yeah, that got shut down, but that was one of those things where you never know on that.
21:31
I'm kind of surprised that Bennington got shut down in that boat ramp.
21:34
Like, that one kind of surprised me.
21:36
I can see why the boxcar got shut down, because it's more out in the open,
21:42
and it's where all the ducks are.
21:45
Now, Bennington's, like, right next to, and not really a town,
21:50
but those subdivision houses, and it's off the river. There's nothing really
21:54
to the north or to the south of it.
21:56
And there's big heavy trees blocking it from swan.
21:59
So, kind of surprised that one got shot down, but I know a part of it was vandalism.
22:04
Yeah, people shooting lights out and stupid shit. Yeah, which,
22:08
they'll never really control that. No.
22:11
Honestly, I think that the vandalism played the biggest part in all of it.
22:15
Like, they just don't want to have stuff that's put out there that they know
22:19
is going to just ultimately get trashed.
22:21
That's just such a shitty reason to not be able to put it out I say if you're
22:27
worried about vandalism why would the state ever build or construct anything,
22:32
why would we waste the money to do it and they're getting it for free so I mean
22:37
I get it I didn't get the vandalism point but at the same time everything gets
22:42
fucking vandalized it's public access,
22:45
there's never going to be a stop in that unless you put a cop there at all times
22:48
at every place that has something that's public.
22:54
Austin says Noseghost. He'd be the first one to go.
22:59
For sure. Oh, I'd definitely pick up some overtime out there. Yeah, that's right.
23:05
But I mean, all in all, I think there's going to be to build that relationship
23:09
with Todd a little bit and get that going. And I've been in talks with Orin here and there too.
23:14
I think there's a lot of things that could come here in the next five years
23:17
and still a long road to go.
23:21
It's always an uphill battle. No matter if you get a seizure about to the top,
23:24
something's going to knock you back down to the bottom of the hill or you keep climbing there.
23:28
But we'll see what happens. Definitely look forward to that.
23:31
And hopefully some good things come out of it. Like we, like you and I were
23:35
talking about this weekend though, like as long as we can continue to make progress,
23:39
like we're doing this for our kids, not for us.
23:43
Like to continue to make the sport better.
23:46
And like, that's why we like it. So I mean, if you don't, then eventually it's going to go away. Right.
23:53
Yeah. You think Tyler doesn't have kids? He already has. He just don't know him.
24:00
You get a DNA test and the male is thrown away. Good thing I haven't checked
24:04
my mail all year, so we're good on that.
24:08
Mark's safe for now. Yeah. I don't think that about does it,
24:12
though, for the spring stuff. I mean, we didn't have a lot to talk about at ours.
24:15
I mean, we did it all kind of after the meeting because, if I'm being honest,
24:19
data and the info they put out on the waterfowl was even less than what they
24:23
talked about the squirrels.
24:24
Yeah, it didn't really lead into a whole lot of conversation.
24:27
I didn't feel like there wasn't really much that they talked about that you
24:31
could kind of stem off of and be like, hey, a lot of talking about this.
24:35
I mean, they didn't give any more data. They gave less data on waterfowl than they did squirrels.
24:41
Like, that kind of surprised me. I mean, there's a lot of people that squirrel hunt.
24:45
Dude, there was a shitload of squirrels that got shot. I mean, that surprised me.
24:51
What was it? Do you guys remember, like, the record? I thought it was,
24:55
like, 1.2 or 1.4 million squirrels.
25:00
It could have been that, dude. That might have been the number like 20 years ago, too.
25:05
And then they've shown the decrease. I just remember we were sitting there and
25:10
we weren't paying a whole lot of attention and that number dropped and we all
25:13
looked at each other and said, what the fuck?
25:16
Who was that pissed off at the squirrels out there?
25:19
But if you think about it, every time we duck hunt, you hear somebody out there
25:22
shooting a little 20s deer at squirrels all the time. No, I mean, that's...
25:27
My dad loves it when they walk right under his tree stand too.
25:30
It's his favorite thing in the world. Yeah. A lot of the deer hunters love squirrel hunters.
25:35
Those guys just don't give a shit. Prank him out.
25:39
But yeah, squirrel hunting, epic in Iowa, evidently.
25:43
Hitting Jim. Yeah. We've not found any pastime. Destination state for squirrel hunters worldwide.
25:50
Yeah. People come here to deer hunt, never again. Yeah. Squirrel only.
25:55
Yeah. Never know. Start raising the fees for our make our own little separate squirrel tag.
26:01
We're with the DNR now. I think we'll go ahead and move in to talking a little
26:07
bit about some tips and strategies to make your scouting for waterfowl and your
26:13
waterfowl hunts in general just better.
26:15
What do some of the people out here that are listening do and then what we kind
26:19
of generally try to do that helps us sometimes.
26:23
There's a time where I can walk to a field once in a while and be like,
26:26
there's no point in hunting. There's nowhere to hunt.
26:30
I just, you pick a semi, we hunt them.
26:34
That thing sounds like a weed eater. I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah, that's where to God.
26:39
No, he rolled by earlier and he's on, he's on like a big, like Debo bicycle
26:44
from Friday. Debo's bike. Yeah.
26:47
He's on one of those and it's got a freaking weed microphone.
26:52
It's awesome. You can definitely tell the weather's nice. Yeah.
26:57
He's probably super proud of it too. The Rugrats are out. Yeah.
27:01
He had their eyes in the town. It was a grown-ass man too. That's the problem.
27:07
Like, if I was a kid that rolled by on that thing, I'd be like,
27:09
yeah, dude, that's pretty sick. Yeah. Grown at me.
27:12
So, we'll just go around the three of us here. We'll start with you, Austin.
27:16
If you're going to go out scouting, what are the key three things that you make
27:21
sure you have or have access to when scouting?
27:27
Binoculars, snacks, and one of you guys to talk to on the phone.
27:33
In all seriousness, I will say I think,
27:37
one of the things that's helped me the most is my
27:41
general knowledge about like how waterfowl
27:45
move and how they work like makes scouting
27:48
a lot easier when you have that general knowledge to kind
27:52
of almost try to beat them to the spot like well consistently they work here
27:57
this time of the year during these weather patterns so i'm going to check here
28:02
first because this is where i normally see them so you you start from the top
28:07
and then you can work your way down from there i mean i know they're obviously,
28:12
unpredictable a lot as well too but when you
28:15
kind of have that general knowledge to figure that out and
28:18
eliminate some of those just right off the beginning it just makes life easier
28:23
absolutely i can agree with that a lot of that's just putting miles on too i
28:28
feel like like you're not if you don't know the area it's gonna be hard to scout
28:31
start making a full ticket yes yes i mean yeah no,
28:36
100%, I could only echo that, like.
28:39
To be successful in it you have to put the miles on you
28:43
gotta be willing to spend the money and do the
28:45
work if you want to up your chances of having consistently better
28:49
hunts right well i mean just think about it like before goose wars we had like
28:54
four different vehicles out driving around and like in all four different counties
28:59
like looking and one boat yeah and looking i mean just constantly watching birds, like,
29:08
seeing what we thought was going to give us the best odds to have a good hunt that morning.
29:13
Looking back at Goose Wars, though, seeing as we only killed one band. One band? Yes.
29:19
I kind of wish we had hunted that spot we found on the boat.
29:21
Dude, I know. I mean, we only hunted, we hunted where we did because it gave
29:25
us the best chance to kill bands. Yeah.
29:27
But that spot we found, or you found at the boat, would have been probably pretty money.
29:32
Because the chance to kill and ban And they're way, way less than we're at.
29:36
I was there. What do you mean?
29:38
What do you mean? He was a band band that was here. Was that?
29:42
Well, what do you mean? Didn't work out for us.
29:44
We shot one. Woo. What?
29:49
Damn, dude. I don't know.
29:51
Well, what are your three things, Cade? Obviously, you can't say snacks.
29:56
Austin already said that.
29:57
I mean, no, you're going to snack. I'm the snack king. Everybody knows this.
30:00
Obviously, binos are key. Absolutely.
30:04
I'm trying to think of something that's not Onyx, because Onyx is obviously huge.
30:09
But piggybacking on Onyx, you can find all the birds you want,
30:12
but if you can't get in contact with a landowner, you're just bird watching.
30:17
I would say having your phone or a black map or for either on eggs or a plat
30:22
nap let's be able to be yeah on that topic and even that like,
30:26
there's been times that you there's like four or
30:29
five different ways they're going when they're feeding geese especially they
30:33
don't typically all go to the same field so like when i'm driving by i'll mark
30:37
like there's four fields there i'll just put a mark right in the middle and
30:41
i'll come back the next day if we're not hunting it the next day or trying to
30:45
hunt the next day come back and,
30:47
figure out which exact field they're in. But then I have the general idea where they're going.
30:51
Right. I can narrow it down from there.
30:55
Definitely full tank of fuel. Yeah. No, I feel like that's pretty, pretty.
30:59
You know, I'm already doing whatever you're going, like, starting from scratch.
31:03
Yeah. Even when you think you know what they're doing, you'll have quarter tank of fuel.
31:08
And the next thing you know, you're like, holy shit, I'm clear on the other
31:11
side of the county. I think I can't get back home. Yeah.
31:14
They always like to throw a wrench in the planes every time. Yeah, the dick is.
31:18
What about you? What are your three? I feel like it's hard to have three on top of.
31:24
So one thing you guys just say i mean i'll probably say
31:27
bino's because i mean bino's is just a yeah that's like the mandatory
31:30
thing yeah but i always make sure i either
31:32
have my waiters and or mucks with me so that
31:35
way if i can see roughly where they're going but
31:39
i mean that's pretty far away and say you're say you're scouting public
31:41
ground i'll make sure i have those with me so i can walk
31:45
my fat ass out there and see where they're actually at see that
31:48
was something i didn't even think about because like when we talked about scouting
31:51
like my mind my mind went straight to like scout a field right in the center
31:55
field you don't need that shit but no i mean just scouting out of the boat yeah
31:57
you you might not even just a boat like if you're driving on a scout in the
32:01
marsh and it's just a big area like the coal creek area here yeah when you go to scout that,
32:07
you're gonna want to make sure you have your waders with you to scout that and
32:10
actually do it properly yeah i mean it could be a game changer of being on the
32:15
x or 50 yards off the x and then and you gotta watch the ducks go in over there all day.
32:20
Because somebody, I mean, if there's two parties, and you guys are hunting,
32:24
you can't hunt that spot exactly because you set up in the wrong spot,
32:27
you're toast. If they're at 50, but I can't.
32:32
Apparently you do too.
32:36
It's gonna it's gonna take some work to scout cool creek yeah sure I mean you're
32:41
gonna you're gonna have to put in some time some hours walking,
32:45
yeah that's not gonna be a just drive down there and scout it real quick kind
32:48
of thing that's gonna be and you need a couple hours yeah it's an afternoon
32:51
kind of thing oh yeah another thing that I bring with me a lot.
32:56
Which I mean I'd say I need it like 2% of the time but if you're scouting an
33:00
area where you can see so there's woods or whatever in between you and you don't
33:04
want to get too close because you know that they're going to be in there and
33:06
you can't really see anything going down, I call it. Yeah.
33:10
I'll let out a hen squeal or just let out a couple clucks, whatever,
33:14
and a lot of times them birds will be like, huh?
33:17
Who are you? And they'll start responding. And it's helped me out a few times
33:21
down the road where I don't know if there's ducks in there or not,
33:24
so I don't want to spook them.
33:25
And if I, you know, pick my calls out and do whatever duck call or goose call
33:31
and nothing makes a peep, then I'll start.
33:34
Creeping in on them but if i if i hear that right away then i
33:37
know i either gotta be really stealthy trying to get close to see what is there
33:40
or just know they're there get out of there yeah come back and hunt the next
33:45
day and that was how i was like scouting that spot for goose forest like i knew
33:50
there was a shit pile in there but i could not figure out for the life of me how many so i just,
33:56
weaseled my way up on the bank i made sure that i was not making a fucking pig
34:00
walking through there I mean it's a lot like deer hunting when you're scouting waterfowl. Yeah.
34:05
You gotta be as quiet as you can getting to them because if you spook them it's
34:09
gonna make them nervous for the next 24 hours. Yeah.
34:12
I mean those birds can be a little bit more on alert especially if you bump
34:15
them out of there now if you just get close and they start they start doing
34:18
their clucking all over the place.
34:20
Yeah. It's just gonna make them a little more leery but if you have to spook
34:24
them out of there could ruin the hunt for the next day.
34:27
For sure like we've watched it a million times they'll go right back to the
34:30
same spot but if they find one thing that's out of place, sir,
34:34
they're giving you the bird. Yeah. Yeah.
34:38
Anything pop up in your head while we're running through this? Pokemon?
34:43
I feel like a lot, last year especially, like.
34:47
We would be in a general location all near each other if we found a decent concentration
34:55
of birds, and then it would be like almost like setting your watch to it,
35:00
and then you see the first group of birds get up.
35:03
And then we're just bouncing every which
35:06
direction from there like just marking fields
35:09
left and right like trying to i mean really
35:13
trying to find that x so i don't
35:15
know i mean we put in a lot of time in our
35:19
va polls and i i don't know i like it
35:21
it's fun the only time that sucks is when you're in
35:24
shitty self-home reception so then you're like you're like
35:27
trying to get a hold of each other to like let them know what
35:30
you're seeing but you can't so like then
35:33
when you meet back up we're all like obviously giving
35:37
each other shit like dude why didn't you tell like
35:39
i tried yeah like when 30 snapchat
35:43
videos go through it one day right so that's
35:47
like one thing too is to make it easier going
35:50
down the road like if you're gonna hunt that area even if you're traveling we're
35:53
not sponsored by them but hunt prefab has pretty
35:57
good things where you can enter into it and you can leave
35:59
notes for like the wind and whether it's
36:03
sunny or cloudy temperatures that stuff i i don't have it but i'll do like my
36:08
own notes i'd have through the years and like north dakota i have the whole
36:13
state book of all the counties and flats and their plot books and everything
36:17
like that but i used to like circle it like a certain spot i'd see ducks and i'd label it like.
36:23
Time of year it was, weather, that stuff. Because I mean, the dogs are going
36:27
to do the same things through the years over and over.
36:30
It'll vary a little bit, just depending on how hard the wind blew from that
36:33
direction there, the migration, whether they shift a little farther east or west.
36:38
But we see it every year with geese. They hit the same fields over and over.
36:44
Yeah. I mean, and it could be a heavily hunted field, but they're still going
36:47
to go right back to it the next year and forget all about it.
36:50
It's like they forget they lost 9,000 hobbies in there.
36:54
We lost our whole family over there that's like my favorite game that we play
36:59
it's like guess where I saw geese today and then you guys just list like 10
37:03
different fields and I'm like yes,
37:06
every single one of them all of them but that's too,
37:10
for trafficking geese I would say if they're
37:13
flying around and if you watch their tendencies when they fly you can pick out
37:18
if you can traffic that bird or if it's going to that destination despite body
37:22
language when it's flying a lot of that too goes into the time thing too because
37:26
i mean you put enough time and you'll see the birds in different fields they
37:30
don't hit the same exact field every day,
37:32
but you can kind of pinpoint like they'll hit a field three fields short of
37:37
their normal one for one day and then they fly that same flight line every day
37:41
but they go to the their normal field like if you can get on that field that
37:46
they were in for one day you can traffic pretty easy. Yeah.
37:49
I feel like trafficking ducks in a field is extremely difficult.
37:53
Yeah. I've never had a whole lot of luck.
37:56
Underneath the flight line of the ducks and we're being next to where they are
37:59
feeding that and trafficking them like it could just be my bad luck because
38:04
I have tremendously terrible luck but I've never had luck doing that period same,
38:10
I don't know of many guys that do other than the big outfitters that hunt the
38:15
same spots every day on their lease ground where they either just have it's
38:19
a regular field or a flooded field whether it's standing corn double corn or
38:23
being doing that like it's,
38:25
it's definitely not an easy thing to do and you need an aftertomical amount
38:28
of decoys like obviously when you're scouting I would say take in the thought
38:33
of what your equipment is that you have and if you can even,
38:36
I guess even to work your time yeah because the equipment's gonna play a big
38:39
part in it too yeah I mean you can,
38:42
throw calling out the window like you don't even have to call these birds if
38:45
you're gonna hunt their eggs like if you're hunting where they want to be you
38:49
throw out a dozen decoys sometimes and just go out there and lay and hide as
38:53
long as you get your hide really good you don't need to call yeah only reason
38:56
you use the calls to pinpoint i'm like put them where you want them yep,
39:01
other than that i mean i think we just use our calls so much to make ourselves feel better,
39:07
like being more productive i get tired of blowing those things god damn yeah
39:12
i know especially on ducks whenever it's out there passing out and whatever.
39:19
Or the days it's just me and you and we have like five guys and entire trailer
39:26
throughout we're like yeah oh we got pretty efficient though so not the trailer
39:30
yeah like that goes pretty good but i'm saying like if we have that many decoys
39:35
out we're trying to cover up that many people,
39:37
we are blowing our fucking ones out no i'm definitely ripped the call way too many times,
39:44
I would say, like when you're scouting too, it's like, if you can figure out
39:46
where the birds are roosting compared to, let's just say they're,
39:50
you want to hunt water or you're hunting public land and they're,
39:53
you're, they're where they roost at and where they feed at.
39:56
If you can get somewhere in the middle there, you have a good chance that on
39:59
their way back, like obviously a goose or a duck in the morning,
40:02
go out to feed, generally is going to go feed first and then come mill around.
40:06
Yep. They don't really, in my experience, they don't mill around as much in
40:10
the first flight as they do 9 to 11.
40:15
Like 9 to 11, that means my favorite time for mallards.
40:18
I always call them the 10 o'clock mallards.
40:22
There's been a lot of days where I've had pretty much no ducks other than a
40:25
couple of teal or gadwalls, whatever.
40:28
And then about 10 to 11 o'clock, here they come. And it's game over.
40:33
Yeah. I mean obviously obviously not everybody can go out there and hunt for
40:36
eight hours straight or all day long but,
40:40
stick that like if you're having a slow day like stick that out as long as you
40:44
can at least stick it out until noon I would say I mean there's days where we
40:48
go out there we know we can't hunt past 10 o'clock but that's just part of it
40:52
and those days oddly enough seem to be the better morning shoots or whatever
40:56
we should just always say that we can only hunt until 10 o'clock,
41:00
I'm leaving I'm picking up at 930,
41:03
10 30 we're still there trying to
41:06
get those dogs yeah you just you just see us all stand up all right we're gonna
41:11
do it now we're done i do recall we've unloaded our guns a few times i come
41:16
above the blind try and see if they come in because every time you unload a
41:20
gun they come out of nowhere it's weird or it's like they know that you have
41:24
one shell in your gun and they're like, yeah,
41:27
bring him all the 30 in this bitch. Yeah.
41:32
But scouting, if you put the time and effort into it and you,
41:35
I mean, obviously you're not going to be,
41:37
at it right away. It's going to take time to learn the tendencies of the birds
41:40
for your areas because every area is different.
41:44
A mallard's a mallard, but at the end of the day they don't do the same things in every area.
41:49
You might think something that looks amazing, right? I'm taking a chance with
41:52
just hunting the areas, which is how you also learn, is by taking a chance saying,
41:56
hey, I don't know if we're going to kill anything here, but we're going to go
41:58
hunting, so I want to try it out. Yep.
42:01
And that's caused me to see how the birds are flying in that area.
42:04
It's like, oh, you know we go a quarter mile that way we're gonna be on them
42:07
that's where they want to be and then sometimes you can't scout areas you just
42:11
gotta go try it yeah a lot of success in the past yeah.
42:18
What else we got there I would say just be persistent yeah that's the biggest thing,
42:24
scouting is the hardest part of all that I feel like to do it right and like
42:29
you were saying earlier you might find a field that they're in but the cover's absolutely dog shit.
42:36
Nine times out of ten, people are still going to go hunt it.
42:40
Yeah, and that just educates bird. It makes hunting for everybody in the area
42:43
where it's like, sometimes if they're in that chisel plot field and you just
42:48
don't, there's just no way to hide in it.
42:50
I mean, if you can go on a fence row, maybe, where you can hide your stuff a
42:54
little bit but every time you run out in the middle of nothing and stick out
42:56
like a sword dick, it educates them birds every time.
43:00
Yeah, just be more like us and curse at them when you drive by them. Yeah, it's fine.
43:05
I flip birds off every day. Every day. Literally.
43:08
Every single day. Yep. Every time I see a mob of them fly over my house.
43:12
Especially this time of year. Yeah.
43:15
I can see Austin out there standing on the back porch just... Double bird.
43:22
As they're just giggling as they fly by. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.
43:29
But it's like, I mean, I've only lived in this area for like eight, nine years now.
43:33
And I came to learn it pretty quick. I mean, the first year I lived here was the Great Flood.
43:39
So didn't have any go up of that year because that just doesn't happen.
43:43
But every 15, 20, 30 years, pretty rare thing. Yeah.
43:48
But and then the next four years after that, there was not a single tree out there.
43:54
You just hunt in grass that gets knocked down as soon as they put water on it so it just blasts I mean,
44:02
being persistent though I feel like a lot of people think like oh you've been
44:08
hunting here forever no I haven't I mean realistically I've been hunting this
44:12
area for like 5 years right but your 5 years of hunting is like most people's
44:17
10 or 15 no that's most people's life yeah,
44:21
But what I'm saying is It takes time to learn Once you understand the concept
44:27
Of how birds work and think Which I still don't understand it completely Nobody
44:31
ever does, nobody ever will Because they're a bird and they got a brain,
44:35
This freaking big And they sell out the smartest every day.
44:38
But once you kind of figure out the general concept It's going to lead to a
44:42
lot more success And the only way to get that general concept Is by trying things,
44:45
driving around And putting the time and effort into scouting like
44:48
scouting is pretty boring yeah it's honestly
44:51
boring unless you're with like two or three guys and you're cruising around
44:54
having a good time joking around which we don't really gotta do
44:57
that often because i'm either out of town or you're
45:00
working you're working and or
45:04
we are totally fucked and we all have to
45:07
go scout yeah yeah yeah sometimes we just got
45:09
spread out and i have no idea where the birds are what's going on like damn
45:13
they're really kicking our ass this week yeah but it leads to so much more success
45:18
when you have a ton yeah it only takes that one day after where you get on them
45:23
and you think yep all right you're right it was worth it yeah yeah.
45:28
We've had a lot of just, we've had just a lot of great times just from being patient.
45:33
Oh yeah. Yeah. Being persistent and scouting. And look at North Dakota.
45:36
I mean, how many, how many miles I put on my truck that week?
45:42
I can't even remember because we did it like total miles, like from here,
45:47
the miles up there and the miles back.
45:49
And then we subtracted that and did, and did just the scouting miles.
45:53
And it was, it was nuts.
45:55
It happened. I want to say we were like 5,000 miles, like total, 5,500.
46:01
And I think we were around like 1,500 or 3,000 just in like we know we're scouting miles.
46:06
Yeah. Holy shit. I mean, I work in a vehicle all the time.
46:11
And at the end of that week, I was like, dude, I don't even want to look at
46:14
the inside of a vehicle for a week.
46:17
Just leave me alone. Yeah, it was. That was like, it was a grind for sure.
46:22
I mean, we got on them a couple of good days, though. I, I had a really good
46:26
time my first out of state hunt.
46:28
So it was just a cool experience to get up there and see how different birds
46:33
work in a different area. I mean, it.
46:36
All those miles we didn't find the ducks till the last day we were
46:39
there but we couldn't do a mission i know but
46:41
when we found them so many yeah no
46:45
they were definitely tornadoes definitely very congregated and that's one thing
46:49
too when it comes to scouting this you're going to be scouting different areas
46:52
early season to late season and not just by weather but it could be the same
46:57
weather for two weeks and the birds you had in one area are just gone because of pressure,
47:02
pressure plays a huge part in it too oh absolutely,
47:06
especially out here when you got 30 jackasses running around in bows facing
47:10
the same 5,000 ducks yeah,
47:12
that's a huge part I mean you can see a difference on when I go hunting on Monday
47:17
morning compared to when I'm hunting Friday morning it could be the same ducks
47:20
but they're completely different ducks yeah you just watch them rap in the middle
47:23
of the lake at that point yeah.
47:26
I mean by Friday they're usually willing to play again and do do what you want
47:30
to do to a point I mean, they're still getting stale, but back to Monday again,
47:35
they're back to what they were the previous Monday.
47:38
I mean, it's amazing what having
47:41
multiple parties out there chasing around does. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
47:46
What else do you guys got to add? Anything? I know you got something to hear.
47:50
Think of deep. I'm not really. There's not much going on in this head.
47:58
Yeah, I would say, I mean, we've said it a couple times already,
48:01
But scouting is pretty boring But the work Yeah it's work It's a boring ass job,
48:11
you do it the reward eventually will come
48:14
i mean the more effort you put into it the more
48:17
you're going to get out of it yeah the no scout just random they
48:21
don't still work for kill hunting no like one percent i don't i honestly don't
48:26
know how people do that like me either that gives me so much anxiety just to
48:31
think about like just throwing that whole trailer like completely I'm not even
48:36
seeing a bird. Not seeing a bird.
48:38
I'd just be so sad sitting in my layout.
48:41
Oh, I hate it here. Yeah. Yeah.
48:45
No, it has. I mean, even when you scout, you can scout all week and those birds
48:51
will just go the opposite direction.
48:53
And it could be the same weather. And you're just like, oh, we're going to go.
48:56
We're going to scout this field for five days.
48:58
Saturday morning comes along and the geese get up and go west instead of east.
49:02
I'm in danger. Yeah. That's another thing that plays in the scouting too is the weather.
49:06
I mean, if you have a cloudy day, the geese are obviously going to fly earlier
49:10
in the evening. And then if you go to hunt it the next day and it's sunny,
49:13
you're probably going to get fucked. Yeah.
49:16
Or you will see all of them in the decoys five minutes after.
49:19
Yeah. Or the only chance you get might be in the last minute. Yes. Yes.
49:24
If you're hunting the evening, I mean, it's always best to stick it out till
49:28
that last. Yes. Oh, absolutely.
49:30
I mean, if you go out there and you're like, oh, we're going to hunt from three
49:32
to five. No, you're not. Yeah.
49:34
You're going to hunt from three till it's over. Yeah. Two times over.
49:38
You might not start killing your ducks till five minutes or geese,
49:41
five minutes before the end of sugar.
49:43
And that, I don't know how many times it happened in the past,
49:45
but more than I can count on one hand or two hands probably of when I've killed
49:50
our limits within the last like 15, 20 minutes. Right.
49:54
And at that point, just let the birds lie. Like, finish off the crippled ones. Leave the rest light.
50:01
Go get them whenever you're done shooting. I mean, as long as they're dead and
50:04
they're not running around like chickens out there, you'll be all right.
50:08
I also don't know how many times I could say that they have,
50:12
like, beaten us and come, like, a minute after.
50:16
Obviously, still plenty light. We can see them. But we just watch mobs and mobs
50:20
of birds just standing right at our feet.
50:22
I mean, it's cool. like it's obviously always cool
50:25
to see birds do what you want to do you just wish that
50:28
they'd fucking do it a minute earlier yeah that's so
50:32
demoralizing when that happens yes it is tell you what i
50:35
found like you not want to go the next day but still like oh
50:38
maybe they'll fly five minutes early we're so optimistic yeah and that's why
50:46
we are fucking idiots yeah whatever so we're smart you know that's all right
50:50
i have a never claimed that yeah i know better weather is a huge thing though i mean like yeah,
50:56
not just like sunny and cloudy but like i mean obviously if you rain days we
51:02
say we're not gonna hunt in rain but i've had some of my best duck hunting days
51:07
when it's i've absolutely mopped them before when it's a thunderstorm out there
51:12
and i definitely should not be out there yeah,
51:14
and nobody believes you until you like don't look picture which i don't usually
51:17
show pictures or post pictures but it's a big thing like yeah i don't know why
51:23
but thunderstorms are crazy especially for teal season.
51:26
Teal move because of thunderstorms.
51:29
They will get up out of wherever they're at, North Dakota, South Dakota, just say, peace.
51:35
One crack of thunder, they're gone.
51:38
Time to go a thousand miles out immediately.
51:44
But snowstorms too. I mean, obviously when it snows or you got a big front coming
51:47
in, your birds that you've been watching are going to do the exact opposite of what they did.
51:52
For sure and even like you
51:56
guys have both witnessed it that altoona field anytime it's
52:00
not raining or snowing it's pretty
52:03
slow yeah first drop falls out
52:06
of the sky shit's getting western and that always seems to be when you have
52:09
steel birds whenever you get some actual actual hunting weather not just we
52:15
were sunny skies yeah even cloudy day that field's just kind of like yeah yeah
52:20
but you're hunting i mean they're so close to the city that yeah it's,
52:24
gotta be uh major terrible events for them birds like oh we gotta go you gotta
52:28
go nah like the grass isn't gonna cut it today you're hunting people's pets,
52:35
carrying karen and the cul-de-sac hits like some people on the desoyne metro
52:41
that just run them over no shit dude what is going on this second one this weekend
52:46
yeah what yeah a young a young yeah did like 19 years old i did not hear that
52:51
yeah oh my god wow how many did he get a.
52:56
I didn't see the actual report. I just heard about it through somebody else.
53:00
I saw the news article on it, but I cannot remember.
53:04
That's awesome. They've got way more nuts than I do.
53:07
Dude, same. Because I've thought about it. I go into St. Steel in Des Moines there.
53:11
There's always a ton of geese on that road reading up to this steel place.
53:17
And I'm like, oh, I just want to floor it. They're all banded.
53:21
Every time I'll stop at home camp, or sometimes I'll get out and chew them out
53:25
of the way. I want to fight. It's like, your dog, you're not at my wedding. Yeah.
53:29
Let me go through and then you fight. Yeah. I got shit to do.
53:33
It's kind of fun to record them whenever you pull up on them in there.
53:35
Two geese are fighting each other. Oh, yeah. It's always entertaining.
53:39
Oh, it's my practice. Yeah.
53:42
It's my piece of bread. Yeah. But if there's one thing that you take from this
53:48
episode, it's, you know, don't give up.
53:51
Be persistent and don't be afraid to
53:54
go scout somewhere that you may not have ever seen it up before and
53:57
walk in like go put and put
54:00
in the miles on your leg graffitis or a bicycle
54:03
or your truck generally yeah see what
54:06
you can find I mean you're not gonna find on the couch well right now
54:09
you can yeah yeah you clear everywhere I definitely
54:13
have looked on my front windows from my couch and seen a lot
54:16
of birds flying over my house when she was like that
54:18
during the fall like that would makes life so
54:22
much easier it is it just happens in the
54:25
dark yeah and then i get shot up for one day and they say fuck
54:28
you we're going to the next one well i mean all
54:32
birds are going north right now at one time rather than the fall
54:35
i mean yeah you're only going to have waves at a time generally unless it's
54:38
just a major snowstorm which does happen once in great while 30 years yeah i
54:45
wish it had been locked i can't remember the year but it was probably like seven
54:50
eight years ago somewhere in there we were supposed I was supposed to go to
54:52
North Dakota on a hunting trip for Halloween week.
54:55
And that's generally been my time for my go up there. Mm-hmm.
54:58
To cancel because they had a big, like the snowstorm, they had a foot and a
55:02
half of snow cover up most of Canada, North Dakota, and then like most of South
55:07
Dakota, like three forces, they had covered and we went to the snow line and
55:11
we just burned up to the ground.
55:13
I was there for 17 days straight. Holy shit.
55:19
That'll do. Obviously not South
55:21
Dakota because you can't hunt South Dakota that long, but it was unreal.
55:28
And it's just crazy how weather can make your break
55:30
it like there was lining up to be a great time
55:33
in north dakota and then we got all that the snowstorm just blew up
55:36
and then sat in that area and i'm like i
55:39
called everybody like we ain't going to no data nothing happening
55:42
like i'm not going there i'm wasting my time yeah it's first off we're gonna fight
55:45
the roads getting there second off the ducks
55:48
are leaving there's a foot of stone on the ground they're not standing that
55:51
right yeah so be willing
55:54
to adapt yeah I think that
55:57
yeah I'm sure
56:00
