Hunting ups & downs | Long range bow shots when hunting? · The Bow Disciples Podcast

0:00
I went to Mexico last week and I was fishing with the Tricer guys
0:05
and dude, it was like, that's when I knew I was fully cooked.
0:09
It was like anytime I would sit down, didn't matter if it was in
0:12
the truck with huge potholes everywhere, in the boat, friggin
0:16
slamming waves. I would just be sleeping sitting
0:19
up like falling over and stuff. And then we got here doing any
0:23
time we'd hike up to like, you know, different knobs to glass.
0:28
I would glass for like 15 minutes and then just be
0:30
freaking sawing logs a couple. 5 minutes.
0:35
So yeah, I've been so cooked. But we restarted now on the pod,
0:40
so we have audio. We got Vince, absolute legend of
0:45
the show. Good looking guy here, Nice guy.
0:47
I know him possibly better than anybody, but what I want to know
0:54
about is this deer OK? We filled Brianna in 169 and
0:57
change Buck with the bow. 169 We'll call him one second.
1:01
Hunting with the pops. I did watch the video.
1:03
It's on your YouTube channel, Mesa Outdoors.
1:06
People can check that out. But tell me the story I never
1:09
got to hear from straight from the horse's mouth.
1:11
Yeah, so make a make a Long story short.
1:13
You know, that day it was was that the day before New Year's
1:17
Eve went out? Where's the bucks are rutting?
1:21
We're seeing bucks pretty much all day long.
1:23
We put between my dad and I, there's probably 3 or 4 stocks
1:26
and even in that, that morning I put a stock on a buck in that
1:29
same wash that I end up shooting that buck in and 100 all day
1:34
chase bucks around all day had some opportunities didn't didn't
1:37
connect. And at the end we're like, oh,
1:39
well, let's just go check that spot.
1:41
You know, we had left maybe 45 minutes left the light and I
1:45
could just see if any bucks and move back in.
1:47
And we pulled up just glassing off the quad, just checking out
1:51
the spot for probably maybe 10/10/20 minutes and I just see
1:54
this big white butt right below chasing a doe.
1:57
All I saw was his butt and I was like, OK, that's a that's a good
1:59
deal. It's gotta be a butt.
2:00
So he was he. Was and.
2:02
He was pretty thick, you would say.
2:03
He was thick. He was packing some cheese.
2:05
Dumpy. OK, nice.
2:07
The big dump. Nice.
2:08
OK, shout out to Cal. Raleigh I love, I love it.
2:11
Big dumper and I just threw the vinyls up real quick and I saw
2:15
the rack through the Ocotillos. I just was like big buck, big
2:18
buck and I took off running with my the bow was already, you
2:21
know, out of the the case on the quad.
2:23
So I took off running. Old man's right behind me and
2:26
like I said, I put a stalk in that wash before so I kind of
2:29
knew what it looked like on the other side if he were to pop out
2:32
and it was pretty open or at least a little bit more open.
2:36
So I get to that spot and I stopped when that little
2:39
clearing and I just was panning and I just see that rack looking
2:42
right at me at 60 yards. Dad's behind me ranges him.
2:45
As soon as I go to draw back, he takes off back and down into
2:48
that wash comes up the other side.
2:51
And I figured, OK, he's at least maybe 8090.
2:54
Sorry, he's getting ready to dial and my dad's like one O 4
2:57
like I got A10 5HE just drew back and I was little shaky.
3:03
So I was like, OK, maybe if I go to like my knees or something,
3:06
like I'll be a little bit more stable.
3:08
And as soon as I did that, I was rock solid.
3:10
And the craziest thing was that 60 pin I have or that slider pin
3:14
is green and my, my luminoc is green as well.
3:17
So when I shot, I had that pin right where I wanted it.
3:20
And I just watched that arrow literally hit right where that
3:23
green pin was. And he probably ran, I don't
3:26
know, 20 yards, stumbled, got back up, ran another 20-30
3:30
yards, stumbled. And then we lost him.
3:32
And we just kind of sat there and waited for a little while.
3:34
And my dad's like, I see your buck, he's up.
3:37
I was like, oh, shit. Like that deer still standing.
3:40
I thought he was cooked, you know?
3:42
And so that deer ended up going down into the washer, like, OK,
3:45
we'll back out, come back in the morning.
3:47
And literally right where that deer last saw him, he was down.
3:50
There. Oh, no, I think I did hear this
3:52
story at some point because I remember hearing how you went
3:55
back and then he what? He didn't end up actually going
3:58
anywhere. And I was worried because that's
4:00
at that distance, you know, you're like, did I get enough
4:02
penetration? Like, did I get deep enough in
4:05
there to to do some damage? It's a problem I always have,
4:08
you know. Always, always, yeah, things
4:13
could relate. That's why I use those Beast
4:15
products. I got to penetrate D.
4:17
Luckily you sent me those a little bit before then.
4:20
You almost got a complete pass through, yeah.
4:22
It was a pinwheel, right? Good shot.
4:24
Right through the shoulder and it was on the opposite shoulder
4:26
sticking out. Nice.
4:28
So I mean, at that distance, getting that much penetration, I
4:30
was pretty impressed and that's why I've been using ever since.
4:33
What a great shot, huh? Far shot.
4:36
I don't like to shoot that far, but sometimes you sometimes it's
4:39
what you got. You know, that's what I always
4:41
say like, you know, bow hunting for me, I love to get close.
4:44
That's that's like my favorite thing is stalking in super
4:47
tight, but sometimes the best you could do you stalk and it's
4:51
like, well, it's 81 and I got no more cover.
4:54
He knows I'm something's up like I'm cooked.
4:56
It's either I do the 81 or we'll try again, you know, and if you
5:01
feel comfortable and the wind's not too bad and whatever and
5:04
you've been practicing, you know, I that's the thing.
5:07
It's all about preparation. People get sometimes a little
5:10
like panties in a bunch about shooting at distance, but really
5:14
it comes down to not every and not every shooter is the same.
5:17
Like it's so much comes down to your preparation, your practice,
5:20
your setup, and then of course, conditions, you know, like if
5:24
it's flat ground and it's dead out, you know, you shoot far,
5:29
you know, but if it's forty mile an hour winds on the top of one
5:32
of these ridges, well, you're lucky to shoot past 30, you know
5:35
what I mean? Like, so it's always just
5:37
dependent. But yeah, I was so pumped when I
5:40
saw the picture of that buck because I know you guys have,
5:43
you know, been trying the bow hunt for a few years.
5:46
Yeah, down there for sure. Yeah, it's a tough hunt.
5:48
It's hard to pull it off on such a dandy.
5:51
And that was your guys first one with the bow, right?
5:53
Yep, that's awesome. First buck down there at the
5:55
bow. Yeah, for the both of us.
5:57
But shout out to my dad on that one because he was, he was on my
6:00
ass about getting on the bow, like leading up to that.
6:03
So like that whole probably month and a half before then him
6:06
and I were going out and shooting quite a bit.
6:08
I was shooting by myself quite a bit.
6:10
And then he just kept it and tell me you need to shoot long
6:13
range, like 20 or 60 because I'm like the same way.
6:15
I like, I like to get close like with the bow at least, you know,
6:18
I mean, yeah, we, it's doable with that is extended ranges,
6:21
but typically you want to get pretty close to him, you know,
6:24
if you can. But my dad was like, you need to
6:26
stretch it out. You need to stretch it out.
6:27
There's some, you know, cause a lot of that stuff is pretty
6:29
open. I mean, there's brush, you know,
6:31
don't get me wrong, but there, there's potential for a lot of
6:34
long shots. So I shooting a lot of basically
6:37
maxing myself out to like one O 5.
6:39
So that's how I knew like, OK, one O 5.
6:41
That's how I'm capped like no further than that.
6:43
But, you know, I hear stories of guys shooting gear out to one
6:46
10120 in Arizona, you know, and you're like, like, I couldn't
6:50
even imagine that far. Yeah, I mean, like I said, it
6:53
really like just comes down to how much you've been practicing
6:57
and also like your shooting skill.
6:58
Not everyone's the same talent of shooter.
7:01
But my thing is to like a lot of times at those real far shots,
7:06
it's like generally you're going to hopefully your misses are
7:09
going to be more up and down rather than left and right.
7:11
So even if you miss by a couple of yards, I mean probably just
7:15
hit under a more over them, you know, because the worst is
7:19
obviously hitting something like farming and wounding it, you
7:23
know, with But yeah, I was so pumped that you crush that deer
7:26
and you know, it was a it was a good year out there.
7:31
I got that Coos whitetail the IT was 79 inch I think if I
7:36
remember. So I was pumped on that as my
7:38
biggest 1 yet. Cool hunt.
7:41
I mean, ours was a little different because the Coos live
7:43
up high, you know, But yeah, I ended up shooting them 46 I
7:49
think it was. So, you know, nice shot, but a
7:51
Coos deer is, you know, small target.
7:53
You know, almost like get myself.
7:55
The ones out here I'm still like, granted we haven't seen
7:59
any golly whompers yet or anything and nothing more than
8:02
forks, but these deer are tiny looking.
8:07
I'm like they put my pin on it. I'm like covers a lot of that.
8:15
Well, you shot a lot of meal deer, so you know, as soon as
8:17
you saw your first Coos do that, you shot your like, holy smokes,
8:20
kind of like this is a they're quarter of the size.
8:22
Compared to like when you see like what?
8:25
Because I'd seen regular whitetail and then seeing my
8:28
first mule deer. And of course, you know this
8:31
one's not going to put down like a little mule deer.
8:34
I'll go on any mule day. You don't you want to pass on
8:36
that mule deer? I'll go.
8:37
You want to pass? I'll go.
8:39
I'll go on any mule deer. But here you could let go if
8:42
you'd like. Or would you like to keep?
8:43
I don't know. Your hand looks uncomfortable.
8:45
I. Love you know that I love
8:47
passing the. Mic you do.
8:48
I find it. It's very annoying, but but when
8:52
we walked up to his first mule deer and I imagine like 170,
8:57
that one probably looked pretty Dang similar then to the size of
9:00
this one. And I was like, I think I
9:04
whispered and like under my breath, but I was holding the
9:06
camera so it caught. I was like, holy shit.
9:09
It was like the size of a small cow.
9:13
Like actually a small cow. It was that big.
9:16
It's not even an exaggeration. Like when you see a fully mature
9:21
grown mule deer, they're massive.
9:24
I always say it's like a horse with horns.
9:26
Those damn, because they're just all barreled stomach, you know,
9:30
And then they got these big old long legs, you know?
9:32
Like it didn't even resemble a deer to me when I saw it.
9:35
Like other than it having antlers, like just the size of
9:38
its neck, the size of its face, like nothing about it to me
9:41
resembled what I resembled deer ass.
9:45
I was like this thing identify as something else, you know, and
9:49
small elk, I don't know, but they are huge.
9:52
But out here not as huge, which makes further shots a wee bit
9:58
trickier to put your pin on. Yeah, yeah.
10:01
Out here. How do how do you enjoy hunting
10:05
out here? A Little Mix of everything, spot
10:09
and stock. We do have quite a few tree
10:12
stands set up ground blinds and then you can do a little bit of
10:17
Rd. dogging if you need to. You love.
10:18
It. I love it.
10:20
If you're cooked, you've been hunting hard and you're like, I
10:22
need to put the the lamborffis away for a little bit.
10:25
You just get in the dodge. You just, you know.
10:29
Yeah, it's a so we James loves, I won't say we yet.
10:34
James loves a certain area and it's a lot of little hill
10:38
hopping and I always crapped on that spot because I'm just like,
10:46
there's no big deer here. And I think I think the biggest,
10:50
if not the second biggest fork and horn we've seen so far.
10:53
We saw it there the other day and it's like, maybe I'll eat
10:57
some of my words. I don't know, we'll see.
10:59
And but once you get out there and you're trying to spot and
11:02
stalk in those little hills, it's so hard because I mean,
11:07
they're just, they're cruising and it's it's morning, so
11:10
they're not bedded down anytime soon yet.
11:12
And so like you're just, you get to hell.
11:15
We got to the first one and didn't see him.
11:19
So James sits down to start glassing and I before even cuz I
11:23
get there after him before I could even sit down.
11:26
I yeah, sat and I didn't even get any stuff out.
11:29
And I look up and I see him hopping over the, the hill sat
11:32
next across the little ditch. I'm like, there they go, James
11:36
and he's like, all right, pack up.
11:38
So I had no break, nothing. It was just like, get back up
11:41
and go. And you're once you get to the
11:43
bottom of those, sometimes they're not a lot of them.
11:47
Right now I don't. Know.
11:51
Oak everywhere. The bushes are thick like the
11:53
chaparral bushes. Are and James just pushes
11:55
through them and I'm over there like like kicking the Bush and
12:00
cannot get my leg to go through it because they're so
12:03
intertwined together and dead. So like I am trying.
12:07
I think I told James there's a, there's a scene that'll come out
12:10
when this video comes out of a previous stock.
12:14
And I don't know if it was before or after.
12:15
I don't know at this point now on this trip, but we went
12:19
through some stuff that was so thick.
12:22
I got to the end. I was hollering to Jesus.
12:25
I was like, I think I could have floated and swam across that
12:28
brush. It was so thick.
12:29
Well, I could barely push my way through it.
12:32
And so he's just cruising through the brush and I'm over
12:36
here. Like, did he go this way?
12:37
Did he go this way? What's the best route?
12:39
So like 10 minutes later, I'll get up to the next one to him.
12:42
This time I actually get to did I get to sit down?
12:46
I don't know. I think for like a second and I
12:50
think this time it was long enough for me to just get the
12:52
tripod out. And James goes, I see him and
12:56
he's looking through the vines like where he's like, you know,
12:59
over there's building there before that a couple hails.
13:02
Mike, I don't know what you're talking about.
13:04
It's like, all right, let's go. Jesus.
13:09
So it's just it's non-stop in those little hills, like if
13:12
they're cruising, you're cruising.
13:14
And I was tuckered by the end. And of course he's with they're
13:18
kind of all seem to still be hanging out with other bucks
13:21
right now. It's a little early.
13:23
So of course the smaller, I hate smaller bucks when they're when
13:27
you're with a bigger buck and they're smaller ones that I hate
13:29
em. I hate em all day long.
13:31
I'll shoot em, but I hate them. And this one just had us pinned
13:36
down so far away. And it was you didn't do
13:38
anything about it. It wasn't settling down.
13:41
So that didn't pan out ultimately at the end.
13:43
That was that shot. I was telling you about that.
13:48
Yeah, you know, things happen, but.
13:51
Yeah, you've had a bit of a rough go this trip.
13:53
Should we maybe dive into your rough go?
13:55
Well, that's one of the rough go it was that one.
13:58
I'm I'm going to say it was far. It was very far.
14:00
I won't tell you how far unless James caught it on camera and it
14:04
gets said in the video, then you can go watch it there.
14:07
But I will say I was happy with that shot.
14:09
He was a little quartered away, but it landed right underneath
14:14
him. It would have been good, but he
14:16
had stepped a little bit after James had ranged and at that far
14:20
of a distance with only 51 lbs makes, although anything past 60
14:25
starts making big differences, you know, per yard.
14:29
So I was OK with that one. I wasn't as bummed.
14:34
Then the next one I was more bummed about.
14:36
I'm going to say, oh, we're a little overbowed right now.
14:39
We just switched to a brand new bow, brand new strings.
14:42
So they're a little tight. And what's confusing me is it is
14:46
the exact same poundage that I had on my last bow.
14:51
And it feels. It's just 'cause it's different
14:54
draw cycle, so anytime you switch bows, the draw cycle is
14:58
going to have like a learning curve to it and although I.
15:01
Haven't learned it. I haven't learned it.
15:03
Yeah, I mean, and even though the chorus R and the virtue are
15:06
quite similar on draw cycle, they may even have the same Cam.
15:10
It's very similar. It's just going to feel a little
15:14
bit different, you know. So I would say like a bow can
15:17
have a very easy draw or a very, very like harsh draw.
15:22
And either way over time you'll get used to it.
15:24
That better does not have like a harsh draw.
15:27
It does not have a harsh draw, but you're just not used to it
15:29
yet. Diff is all get out.
15:31
So I'm over here doing back bends and somersaults to get
15:34
this bow back right now, which is crazy because in the shop I
15:38
could draw it when we went out to your practice range, I could
15:42
draw it. I drew it for a ton of shots
15:44
before I finally had James step in and help me with the last
15:47
few. And I don't know if now I'm just
15:50
like scared of it or something, but like, or I'm not putting an
15:53
effort, but it it's tough. So then we got to opportunity #2
16:02
we'll call it. And there'd probably been
16:05
multiple opportunities in between that one and this one,
16:07
but this one was like a real opportunity.
16:10
And I jump out of the vehicle 'cause we were pounding a lot of
16:17
miles in the truck and I love it and I jump out.
16:26
This one goes smoother like I range apparently a must
16:32
arranged. He he walked a little away from
16:35
us, but he was super close to begin with.
16:37
So I was like, I've been getting used to the fact like I don't
16:41
need to range the animal if he's standing right next to you or
16:44
right behind a Bush like like a small 1.
16:47
You could just range the damn Bush.
16:49
I thought I ranged the Bush, but this grass is so damn tall out
16:52
here. I must have just caught enough
16:55
blades of something that I got 10 yards less than what he was.
16:59
So I got 40 and James got 50. But he was in the truck filming,
17:04
so I did not hear him. I mean he.
17:09
Was Brianna just has no filter out?
17:11
I mean, you know, whatever is legal, like if the mall is to
17:15
Step 1 foot off the road. She saw I'm stepping.
17:18
One I'm step now does it say I mean FOOT does it does it
17:22
specify the definition of foot like do I just need to get one
17:26
of my feet off the road more feet or or do I have to step one
17:31
legal 12 inches off of the road It doesn't I'm stepping off the
17:36
road though, but nonetheless it. Is such a liability to bring
17:39
anywhere that would be you are a major liability, you know that.
17:44
Nah, I'm following the legal law of the land.
17:49
Anyways, I don't hear him say 50.
17:52
And you know, the wind out here is it's good you won't hear it
17:55
in this video because James will tune it out.
17:57
But it's it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
18:01
I don't hear him say 50. So I shoot, but I probably
18:06
shouldn't have shot because he started moving.
18:09
I hit nowhere near him. It was one of those like, just
18:16
trigger instincts where like you panic because they start moving
18:20
and so instead of letting go, you just punch the trigger.
18:24
Yeah, I do that. I did that.
18:26
And so he trots off, goes down a ravine and back up and then just
18:31
proceeds to stare at us for like 20 minutes.
18:34
Just doesn't leave. So that was a nice sporky.
18:38
Then by nice I mean he was very little, but he was legal.
18:43
But so he, he lived another day. And then, and then there's
18:50
opportunity #3 today we've been cruising yesterday in the
18:56
evening heading home and there's an area we'd seen 2 pretty nice,
19:01
nice fork and horn bucks in, but way out in some very thick
19:05
stuff. So like there ain't no getting
19:07
these things. We attempted to, we made about 5
19:10
steps and they went bolting and they were like 100.
19:14
It was 104 yards away to Y range where they last were.
19:19
And you just see them go bolting and then you hear like the
19:22
crashing, the breaking. I was like James, you hear that?
19:24
That's what we just sounded like to them.
19:27
No wonder we didn't make it in. But so we are around that area
19:30
again today and on the left side was 2 little fawns and so we're
19:37
stopped looking at them and I go, where's your Mama?
19:44
And I turn and look right 'cause there's a little ravine ditch on
19:47
the right side of the road. I'm like, she's going to come up
19:49
out of that and cross the road with the babies.
19:51
She is not what came out. Two forkin horns come up out of
19:55
the ditch. I'm like I just, I, I froze.
19:58
I go, James do not move, and I go.
20:03
To get out. I, I and they were calm.
20:07
The the bigger one kind of like he walked off, but he's just
20:11
walking like no care in the world.
20:12
Didn't look at me, nothing. I'm paralleling and now on the
20:16
side of the road with the smaller one, it's just not
20:21
giving a carrot. Stops broadside, gives me time
20:24
to range. I range it 32 yards, put the
20:27
range Finder back away. Then it comes time for the draw.
20:36
I mean it was obnoxious so bad I knocked the arrow off of the the
20:40
rest. I was like, the reason I knew
20:43
was because I felt metal on my finger and I looked down and it
20:46
was the broad head of cutting my finger open.
20:49
And so me I'm like trying to save it and not have to let down
20:53
so I don't make as much movement.
20:56
I'm trying to push it back up. But with this new rest, the the
21:01
whale tail sits right next to the thing.
21:03
It doesn't touch it, but like you have no room to bring your
21:05
arrow up and around. So as I'm shoving, I'm just
21:08
cutting my finger more because I'm shoving the broad head, not
21:11
the the arrow. And so I have to let down.
21:15
And as soon as I let down, he turns and you know, ass away
21:18
from me or to me walks away. But they walked away so calmly
21:23
that like James tried grunting at him.
21:26
They just didn't stop. But they gave no cares, like
21:29
they weren't alert, they weren't scared.
21:32
So we watched them and they walked over to this Bush and
21:37
we're like, well we'll go try again.
21:39
This time I noticed James brings his bow with.
21:42
He's soft, tight. He is.
21:47
And I was like, I don't look buddy, hand me the camera like
21:50
I'm done. I'm fired.
21:52
I'm out of. And he's like, no, this is it.
21:57
Yeah, he's just I'm going to stand right here and you're
21:59
going to go go finish it. I'm like, OK, all right.
22:05
So I walk off on my own to go stalk these things now.
22:08
And James is, I think we stopped.
22:10
He stopped at 53 yards away from this Bush.
22:14
And I kept going and it wasn't as loud as yesterday, but it was
22:20
still loud and it wasn't super windy, so I was amazed.
22:24
But I got all the way up there and I eventually had gotten on
22:27
to like a little Deer Trail, so it got a lot quieter.
22:31
And I think that's what saved me.
22:33
And I got up there and I was sure that these things would not
22:37
be anywhere near this Bush by now.
22:39
The stuff's so tall, those deer could leave and you'd never know
22:42
it. But Nope, there were his antlers
22:46
right above the Bush that I was too short to see over.
22:49
I was like, just give me a little bit of body.
22:52
If I could see a little bit of body, that means I could shoot
22:54
through that brush. That's all I need.
22:57
Nah, couldn't see anything. But Jane's being, you know, 10
23:02
inches taller than me. 6 foot of course, 6 foot one 'cause I'm 5
23:07
foot one tall enough that he would have been able to see over
23:12
that and his bow is faster, pulls more poundeds.
23:16
He could have shot through and put it down all day long.
23:21
But no. So I fumble the the racehorse
23:25
again instead of just standing still while I could see his
23:29
antlers staring my direction. I'm like, and then I realized
23:34
that like my side cover was up and I didn't flip it back on my
23:38
range Finder pouch. So then I'm like having to
23:41
fumble hands to switch the bow over to flip it open and stick
23:44
the range Finder away. Hot mess.
23:46
It was just an absolute disaster.
23:49
And, and so after I ranged him, he was still staring, but by the
23:53
time I put it away and looked up, he his antlers were gone.
23:56
I'm like, OK, he's behind the Bush.
23:58
So I drew was like, all I was hoping is that he was just going
24:00
to come out the side of the Bush and I'd be able to shoot at
24:03
about 25. He was at 22 and he just went
24:08
straight away. And but he went to another
24:11
bigger Bush and I was like, OK, James started coming up.
24:14
I'm like James is just going to get a shot.
24:16
He's going to be able to shoot a long bomb and just put this
24:19
thing down and we'll be done here.
24:20
Like we can have pops tonight at the steakhouse and no, I guess
24:25
he said he ranged it was 120 and he didn't feel like launching
24:28
that out of four key. So at.
24:30
Any at anything I ain't shooting that far.
24:32
But Brianna Brianna she she leaves rules at home.
24:36
She's not a big rules gal. Give me give me events here one
24:39
to 10 review of Brianna's hunting after hearing this story
24:43
effort. A25I give you that.
24:45
That's all that matters. You know, I'm out here in these
24:48
streets. I'm trying.
24:51
She's a different zip code. No rules apply.
24:54
She's unbelievable. But Brianna is 100%.
24:59
If I ever get cancelled, it's going to be because her.
25:01
There's no question about it. Yeah, I'm.
25:04
I'm such a rule guy. It's ridiculous.
25:06
But I'm following. All the rules, yeah, she is
25:08
actually, I mean technically following all the rules I.
25:11
Am do you guys just have some wild Wild West rules out here?
25:14
But. It is the wild, Wild West
25:15
sometimes, yeah. This is a.
25:19
You need to learn a filter. Nah, what's the fun in that?
25:24
It is fun out here though, You know, like you get your own
25:28
little section of kind of privacy in all of California
25:33
first, the rest of us peasants out in the public lands.
25:39
But it's fun that you have a diversity here in what you can
25:43
do between tree stands or you can spot and stalk Glass Rd.
25:48
hunt if you want to. She's the.
25:51
Heck yeah. Yeah, big fan.
25:53
At this point, it's the only way it's going to get done.
25:55
Actually I tried twice that still do the job, so I don't
25:58
know. Probably 80%, maybe more success
26:02
rates probably done from the road out here, I'm going to say.
26:04
I'm in Rd. hunting happens in all states, don't matter if it's
26:07
Utah or Arizona and Nevada, anywhere there's a lot of roads.
26:11
It's something that exists and doesn't mean it's easy, but you
26:14
still like there's hard parts of Rd. hunting.
26:16
I think it's hard. But in in a a sense like is
26:21
hard, I'll keep them on, OK. It's harder in a way because I
26:27
think you can have more opportunities.
26:30
Hold on. You can definitely cover more
26:32
ground, I think that's why. I want more ground.
26:34
There's more opportunities when you catch them off the side of
26:39
the road because there's, you know you're going to see more
26:42
because you're covering more ground.
26:45
But when it comes to like the final moments, I don't think
26:48
that every opportunity you have is as likely to be successful as
26:54
a spot in stock or a tree stand sit, because they're already
26:59
alert. Now they're staring right at
27:01
you. You just kind of have to hope
27:03
that they're in that sense of alertness that they're still
27:05
confused because once that's gone, they're gone.
27:10
And so like probably 60% of the OR more honestly, 80% of the
27:17
road hunting stocks, you could say like where you actually get
27:21
out of the vehicle, you do are not successful because they they
27:26
blow town. But it's fun because it like it
27:31
kind of gets you on your feet. It gets you to like move quickly
27:34
in those final seconds, which I struggle at immensely.
27:39
My stocking skills, fantastic. My closure skills, not so much.
27:48
Might as well just have Brianna do a solo podcast here today.
27:52
Do all the. Talk.
27:52
No, I don't. Well, anyway, Vince said you
27:55
didn't. We'll talk as much.
27:57
Yeah, but we have a guest. You got to involve the guest.
28:00
You know, this is unbelievable. We'll just.
28:05
Here's what we'll do. I'll crash zoom just on Brianna
28:07
for most of the time. What is your favorite style of
28:12
hunting like out of you know, sitting Rd.
28:15
Hunting, you know, spot and stock What's what's kind of your
28:19
face? Still hunting?
28:21
Yeah, still hunting is good, but I'd say like my favorite is
28:24
probably, I guess you'd consider spot and stock with a bow would
28:27
probably be. And then like with a rifle, I
28:30
like to just get somewhere and just sit.
28:32
Like I'll sit till dark and I like to just say to your spot,
28:35
yeah, same spot, just sit. A lot of times.
28:38
I mean those deer don't move till the last 5-10 minutes of
28:41
light anyways, you know. So if you can just sit, I
28:43
already have everything all set up and I'll just sit glass as
28:46
much as I can. Look at any little nook and
28:48
cranny, any little pockets of trees that you can see through.
28:52
Just, I mean, especially some of the areas that I like to hunt
28:54
out here, it's super thick and all you're going to do is catch
28:58
a window of movement and that's your chance to shoot that deer
29:02
or whatever you're going after, you know, So I'd say just
29:05
getting up somewhere high sitting glass and.
29:08
It is so true. Like that last first or last
29:12
little bit of light is always it.
29:14
You know, especially for the more mature animals, wouldn't
29:17
you say? Kind of tuck up longer unless
29:19
it's rut time. Yeah.
29:21
Then that kind of goes out the, but I mean, I've sat and watched
29:24
bucks, like bigger mature bucks, they'll get up out of their bed
29:28
or whatever, say they're in like a little Canyon and they'll
29:31
stand there for 20-30 minutes and not move until like it's
29:35
completely, almost like you can't see any more things.
29:37
Wow. And I think, you know, that's
29:39
why they're so big, right? It's because they're not moving
29:41
out when someone could see them. No, that's.
29:43
What we were talks about back in some of that big country, it's
29:49
like it's so immense, you know, that there's some lunkers back
29:53
there, but they're rarely seen because there is so much land
29:58
and topography. I'm like they're, I'm sure in
30:02
any one of these giant canyons tucked way down in there or way
30:06
up in there underneath the big thick thing of bushes just
30:12
chilling. They're hot, they're heavy.
30:14
You know, they're not these little tiny forkies that can
30:18
just run for miles. They're carrying a bunch of
30:20
weight. So like they bed down and bed
30:23
down for hours and just, they're happy little campers just like
30:26
that. I'm like, what I'd give to see
30:28
one of those lunkers just decide to mess up, you know?
30:31
Well, even like that big fork my dad shot a few years ago, that
30:35
big heavy boy, I took a shot at him, missed.
30:38
He takes off running, goes up this hill, makes about halfway
30:42
and he's gassed, mouth open, tongue hanging out.
30:45
And he probably went another 50 yards and just bet it in some
30:48
thick brush and it was like almost cresting over the hill.
30:51
My dad's like, oh, I think he went over.
30:53
I was like, he didn't go over, he's in that brush.
30:55
And sure as shit, you know, we kind of like still wanted our
30:58
way into it. Like he'd go 50 yards, I'd go
31:01
100 yards and just keep kind of incrementing our way past each
31:04
other. And before you know what that
31:06
books that bug stood up and that's how I shot him with that
31:09
bug was in that brush. Oh, wow.
31:11
Yeah. But he was gas going up.
31:12
Oh yeah. You've seen how big the country
31:14
is. You're.
31:15
Huge. And you're carrying all that
31:17
weight running up them hills. He was done.
31:21
That is something that was. Like, I don't think I'd like to
31:25
walk any of those. They're massive.
31:28
Did you go to that spot I told you last night down South having
31:33
those two zone? I think so, yeah.
31:35
Yeah, I think so. Some big stuff in there.
31:37
Oh, huge, yeah. Huge.
31:38
It's tough with a bow. Yeah.
31:40
Right down there, yeah. No, I one thing I like about
31:44
your guys hunting area is the diversity of the terrain, right?
31:51
I mean, you can hunt flats, you can hunt thick stuff, you can
31:55
hunt wide open stuff, the beach, you can hunt the beach, you can
31:59
hunt oak trees. Like, you know, there's all
32:02
sorts of different types of terrain, which I think it's
32:07
pretty cool because if you can learn to hunt every single one
32:10
of those types of terrain, you know, effectively, that's going
32:14
to help so much when you go hunt like different new states or new
32:17
spots or whatever, because you've experienced a lot of
32:22
different pockets, you know, and that's one thing I think it's
32:26
really cool about here. But what is your favorite?
32:29
Like terrain taunt? Like terrain type?
32:31
Terrain type out here, I'd say like the thick oaks and then
32:37
probably as you go further South, some of that big open
32:39
country. Yeah, I do like that stuff.
32:43
But with a bow, I definitely say like the dunes and stuff, it's
32:46
just so quiet. It's just you can get, I mean,
32:49
we've gotten into like 10 yards of pigs just because you can
32:53
sneak on through that stuff, you know, and you're not making a
32:55
whole lot of noise. And then if you have good wind
32:57
coming off that coast, you could jump on them if you want, if
33:00
you're sneaky. Art pigs bad ass dude I love.
33:04
Pigs, I love pigs, I love hunting pigs.
33:06
And then especially if you're trying to get good with the bow,
33:08
like that's what I've been focusing on a lot this like last
33:11
year in the tail end of of last year or this year and then tail
33:14
end of last year was getting better with the bow.
33:16
And, and I think a lot of it comes from your stocking skills.
33:19
Oh yeah. So totally doing like here pigs
33:22
are year round. So you have a lot of opportunity
33:25
to get better with the bow. And so that's why I've been, I
33:28
was on, I don't know if you've seen a lot of the videos I was
33:30
asking with all the pig stuff, but I was.
33:32
Like man, they must be slammed up there because he's posted
33:35
nothing but Pig Con I. Was I was probably going out,
33:38
I'd say every day, if not every other day, just looking for pigs
33:42
and trying to find spots that, you know, I haven't haunted too
33:44
much before that had pigs and then every chance I had, if I
33:48
had a good opportunity to go in the bow, I'd take it, yeah.
33:52
Tell me about your bow set up. Give me, give me arrows.
33:56
The kind of the whole breakdown of your bow.
33:57
Have you changed anything? Else I'm still running the the
34:00
ventom, the Ventom Pro, running the Easton Axis Arrows 5 OS.
34:06
No, just the the 5mm. They're still 5mm, but the old
34:10
man's got the five OS. He I think we should talk about
34:13
this. Can you switch brands?
34:14
Like if you're a loyal Hoyt guy forever and then switch over to
34:19
Matthews, can you do that? I know he did do it, he told.
34:22
Is that allowed? It's barely.
34:23
Allowed. That's what I figured, yeah.
34:25
But I mean. He said he took him a while to
34:28
get used to the old live, but now he loves it.
34:30
Now he. Loves it.
34:30
He's been out slinging them and getting pretty good with that
34:33
thing and gave it to him. Yeah, he told me he'd been just
34:35
frigging dropping Dimes at like 120.
34:39
Heck, he does a lot of but you, you saw the range.
34:41
So he I mean it's improved a lot.
34:43
So now they have the big block targets.
34:45
Too, so I love it the range. Is nice sending long range
34:48
shots, you don't have to worry too much.
34:49
I mean, if you miss that block, I mean there's some other
34:52
problems were the. Hay bales behind.
34:54
Just hay bales before so and our arrows like 90% of the time
34:59
they're blasting through the the hay Bale, you know, then you're
35:02
hitting the wood the. Blocks are nice.
35:04
Yeah. Oh boy.
35:05
Let me tell you, those blocks are nice.
35:07
I'm excited tomorrow we you know, you text me and I said
35:11
there's a few tasks I would like to get done while we're here.
35:15
Despite being cooked, I want to get a few tasks done.
35:18
I want to get Brianna a deer, which is proven to be the most
35:21
difficult task. I want to do that one.
35:24
I want to that was a questionable one.
35:27
Do a pod with Ryan, which we got that done.
35:30
I want to do a pod with you. We're getting that done even
35:33
though Brianna basically Brianna Pod, but we got that done talk.
35:38
About all my it's, you know, not my problem that I've and it's
35:42
kind of my problem that, you know, my dear stories just
35:46
happened to there be a lot of them.
35:47
Yeah, it's true. I told her at least she's
35:50
getting her money's worth, you know?
35:52
And then I said I wanted to go to the steakhouse, which I'm
35:55
very excited about. We, we've been talking about it
35:57
all day. So excited.
35:59
Haven't been since the first year we've come.
36:01
This is our fourth year, so it's been a while.
36:03
The fourth year. It's only the 3rd.
36:04
I know it's fourth year, 4th year.
36:08
Well, think about it. I shot a buck my first year.
36:10
I shot a buck my second year. I did not shoot one the third
36:13
year and then this year, so I was fourth year, but I, I can't
36:17
wait to go to that steakhouse. And that was task number three
36:20
of four. And then the last task archery
36:23
range baby. And we got how many guys 5.
36:26
Five so far, and there's unless you wanted some more to come.
36:28
And there's 20. Targets Correct 20 targets.
36:30
So I think if we have 5 that's actually perfect.
36:34
Is that total? Yeah, that including me and
36:36
Brianna. Yeah, so it'll be us or you 2
36:38
and then myself, my dad and Ryan.
36:40
OK, so here's here's what I'm thinking. 20 targets, right?
36:44
I think we do my favorite game right now, the elimination game,
36:48
right? So basically you shoot 4
36:50
targets, add up the scores, lowest person booted out, then
36:55
you move on the scores go back to 0 next four lowest booted and
37:01
then eventually you have a champion on the on the last
37:04
target it's the Bennett. Oh, it's the best the playoffs.
37:07
I usually playoffs actually that usually every time I've gone out
37:10
first. Hey, I probably might beat you
37:12
on this one. Actually, it might be 5 target.
37:14
Actually, no, it'll be 5 targets.
37:16
If we have five of us, I think it'll be 5 targets and then
37:19
someone will eliminate. That's my favorite right now.
37:21
So much fun. So I'm thinking maybe we do
37:24
that. So stay tuned.
37:26
Stay. Tuned is that is that the last
37:28
minute you just put out was that same way yes, I think I just I
37:32
watched that last night oh it's. The best, yeah, that format's
37:35
the best, especially for like 20 targets.
37:38
It's a lot of people when playing just because.
37:40
Oh. You get worked up, dude.
37:42
When you feel like you're on the bubble.
37:43
You. You could be hanging in there
37:46
like Joey, you know, is hanging in there.
37:48
It's actually shooting really good.
37:49
And then he just had a span of targets.
37:51
He did absolutely ass OB because you have a few and he got kicked
37:54
out. He there's one is that the one
37:57
where he shoots over the ram or whatever?
37:59
He said just he this throws his handler and the the temper
38:04
tantrum did not stop there. Like all the way from there to
38:07
the next target. He was yelling that he's done
38:10
shooting today. He was already out, but like you
38:12
could just now just shoot for fun.
38:14
Like no, I'm done shooting. Like he was pissed.
38:18
And so that's how the game works though.
38:20
Like it is what it is. And my score, ultimately, I go
38:24
out first, but I think I had like the third highest score
38:28
overall on the course. So it's like if you just start
38:33
off ass like you're out, doesn't matter what you end with.
38:37
You're just between a hinge and a thumb release.
38:39
So one time. So we shot a Pennsylvania attack
38:44
with them. I wanna say he shot 5 releases
38:49
over 4 days. No, Joe is a, he's a legend
38:54
dude. He shot like two or three
38:56
different thumbs, couple of engines.
38:58
I'll have to bring that release that I just picked up, I think
39:02
middle of last year. Have you ever seen that it's
39:04
like the TJ scat release? No, it's a hydraulic.
39:07
So it's, I don't want to say it's a tension, but it's a
39:11
timing based. So as soon as you let go of the
39:13
thumb, the hydraulic and it starts closing and then it opens
39:16
up. So then it releases it.
39:19
I never tried it, do you like it?
39:21
I use it for just basically or you say like a target panic,
39:26
like getting rid of that, just making sure to hold the pin on
39:28
there and then it just goes off. All you do is let go of the
39:30
trigger and then it. I guess it's almost like a
39:33
dudgeon really does. It go off the same is the
39:35
timing. The screen, yeah.
39:37
So you can bounce it in between anywhere from like 1 to 2
39:41
seconds or all the way to like 8 seconds.
39:43
So as soon as you let it go, 8 seconds and then it goes off.
39:47
Dang, I'd never Or something like.
39:49
That I'll bring it. I'll bring it tomorrow and you
39:50
could check it out all. Right, I'm down to try it, so
39:52
yeah. It breaks like a surprise shock.
39:55
Exactly. Because all you're doing is just
39:57
holding it back and waiting for it to release.
40:00
So your whole objective is just hold that paint on there.
40:03
When it goes off, it goes off. How has your?
40:06
Journey as a content creator been going tell me how's how's
40:10
have you been having fun? Yeah, I, I enjoy it.
40:12
You know, meet a lot of cool people, talk to a lot of cool
40:15
people. I mean, the power of social
40:18
media is pretty insane. You know, all the guys you get
40:20
to talk to and gals and whatnot. But channels grown.
40:24
I've been having a pretty good couple months, especially as we
40:26
roll into season, you know, pumping out videos or at least
40:29
more long form stuff. But I think the last time I was
40:33
on with you that last year, early last year.
40:36
Yeah, at the house. I think I was at like 1500 Subs
40:40
and now I'm like 33 somewhere in there.
40:42
Yeah, that's that's great growth.
40:45
That's great growth. I love to hear.
40:47
Got to keep the train going. That's right.
40:49
That's right. Yeah, It's it's it's fun.
40:51
And, you know, I like that your guys kind of crew up here.
40:56
You got you, you know, making content, Ryan doing his podcast
41:01
and then the other dude, I don't know his name.
41:03
I think he does the show as well.
41:05
Hunter. Yeah, that's cool.
41:06
Yeah. Just kind of a few of you doing
41:08
like different stuff. I think that's awesome.
41:10
The thing is there's never like, there's never too much content,
41:16
you know what I mean? Like people can choose to watch
41:18
or not watch something. So like, it doesn't matter if
41:21
there's more or like. So I always think it's cool when
41:24
people do something, even if it just starts as like a side thing
41:28
or a passion project, you never know what it'll become.
41:30
And as long as you're having fun and a good time, send it.
41:34
I think that's why it's cool. You all have like a conglomerate
41:37
of, of guys doing different stuff.
41:39
I I think that's really neat, you know, cuz how long?
41:43
When did you start the channel? I want to say 20 21/12/22 maybe
41:50
there. So a few 3-4 years, yeah, it's a
41:52
good run, dude. It's a great run.
41:54
You've had some good videos. I watched the one where you shot
41:57
that buck in. I don't know what area G
42:01
something California. It's my late season deer hunt.
42:04
Yeah, and you squeeze off the shot and then there's no round.
42:07
That was, you know. There's only like one person
42:09
commented on that. They're like the most impressive
42:12
thing about that whole video was the non flinch when you pulled
42:15
the trigger and it didn't go off.
42:16
I was like, I'm so glad at least somebody noticed.
42:18
How are you? I thought the same thing.
42:20
I was like, what the hell, this thing's not going off.
42:22
And I just remember because it was my dad's rifle and we had
42:25
his set up for that distance and he handed me the rifle once we
42:30
got down there and I thought he already had one in there and he
42:34
didn't put one in there yet. So when I went to squeeze it, it
42:36
didn't go off because there's no round in the chamber and I was
42:40
like, it's impressive, yeah. You did regroup.
42:42
Nicely. And he's like, well, that's the
42:45
biggest thing too, Especially when you're in those high, you
42:47
know, pressure, high intensity situations.
42:51
You got to keep it together. Yeah, Otherwise shit's gonna go
42:54
sideways real quick. You got to keep it together, You
42:56
hear that? Yeah, I don't.
42:58
I don't do that too well. Some ice in the veins.
43:00
Yeah, James and I, we get a little testy.
43:04
I don't know about us, but. I believe if if we went back to
43:10
January 2025 Javelina Hunt Arizona and we put up an
43:17
unedited version of all the background commentation being
43:22
had while Ted and I are attempting to get Javelina.
43:25
Let me tell you what happened. So we're in this group of
43:28
Javelina, right? And I'm like, I'll just, you
43:31
know, we'll let Brianna shoot first, obviously.
43:34
So, well, we get in here and stalk in.
43:40
There's a whole group of Avelina right off to our right.
43:42
And then they start to filter in front of us, right in front of
43:46
us, right? And I'm watching 1 go by, two go
43:50
by and she's not doing anything. She just.
43:52
And then before you know it, the whole group pretty much gone.
43:56
So then this last little trickler comes through.
43:58
She draws, farms it right off a branch right in front of us, and
44:02
you hear me go? Oh jeez.
44:05
Oh well, you know I'm blowing a gasket behind the camera.
44:07
So then we regroup, we get her on another one and is she
44:12
looking at this, that these like Javelina coming from the right
44:15
through this little window and I'm filming from like 1010 yards
44:19
back and I can, I'm like there's one right to the left, like just
44:23
look slightly to the left. And you know, I mean this one
44:26
was standing there for 2 minutes like a 3D target, bro.
44:29
And she just would not look slightly left to see it.
44:33
Finally she gets a shot at these other two she's been looking at,
44:36
right. And my dad just waiting in the
44:39
wings. Right.
44:39
He ready to go. He's already ready.
44:41
Oh, he ready, right. So Brianna shoot, she hits this
44:45
one. It goes down.
44:46
My dad and I do have this on the he goes and like runs a few
44:50
steps yard sales over a branch, right, Just like stumbles over
44:55
this branch and I'm like, jeez, look, the roof is still standing
44:59
there. This summit didn't even move,
45:01
bro. It's still standing there like a
45:03
3D target. I'm like 10.
45:05
There's one right there, and there was one like right in
45:08
front of it. Mine finishes its relations and
45:13
I put it down. So he went out peacefully, but
45:16
the other one just never left. And Ted was watching this whole
45:20
thing take place, and I think he just was preparing.
45:24
So he had eyeballed what he was going to go for, and that's
45:27
where he went. But it turns out he couldn't
45:30
shoot from the direction he was trying to go.
45:31
So he comes running back and James is like, what are you
45:35
doing? He used some lesser kind words.
45:38
But basically at one point in the recording he goes, I'm
45:40
hunting with a bunch of idiots. I was fired up and then I
45:47
proceeded and then I proceeded to.
45:50
I hit one a little bit low and I ended up running through the
45:53
desert for like a mile to get it.
45:56
I'm literally sprinting bro, like it was crazy.
45:59
Halloween hunting is undefeated. Have you done it yet?
46:03
What do they call them? The.
46:05
God, no, no, God's gift to. Both.
46:06
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:07
Have you done it yet? I haven't.
46:09
I missed the the window because it's usually like the second
46:13
week of October and I thought it was later.
46:17
And so I go to check. I'm like, OK, I need to come and
46:20
tell my dad. We need to at least try and
46:21
shoot 1, you know, colored pack grapes.
46:23
Just, you know, it's fun, right? Yeah, it's pretty, pretty good
46:27
opportunity to hunt with the boat as well.
46:30
Missed the dead deadline. What are you going to do with
46:32
this? I'm going to try it this year.
46:33
This year. I actually had it marked on my
46:34
phone. This is it.
46:36
Yeah, a week before. So I'm like, OK, I need to do
46:40
this, get it done. And that way we can because we
46:43
see them all the time and it's they're everywhere, I feel like.
46:46
You see a lot of, see a lot of that's good.
46:48
That means you're glassing well, so that's what that means.
46:51
And it's like, you see one guy, what the hell is that little
46:53
thing over there? And do I say go to the ground?
46:55
And it's like, OK, there's one, OK, there's 234.
46:59
And you just start picking them out, dude.
47:01
These things just sink when you come up out of the air.
47:03
They do, yeah. They're like like a gnome.
47:05
Crazy. And when you like, stalk into
47:07
them, especially, like, it's just like pigs, but like pigs on
47:10
steroids, Yeah, like when you stalk in and the wind is good
47:13
and you can get in quiet and right in there with them.
47:16
I mean, they're like, I say, like pigs on steroids because
47:20
like, they're constantly grab assing, like they're fighting
47:23
with each other non-stop, like they're hoofing at each other.
47:27
And like one will go to eat the same prickly pear that the other
47:30
one's eating and it'll get mad at it and then it'll go running
47:33
around. Yeah, it's just like, so then
47:36
you get all amped up because like they're all amped up.
47:38
And so like now you're freaking out.
47:41
And and then like once one just gets an idea that you're there,
47:45
but they don't leave. So like they'll circle around
47:48
you like freaking a pack of wolves, but blind wolves that
47:53
can't really do much and and try to sniff you out.
47:56
And they're just like. Can you call?
47:58
You can call them in too. Oh yeah, you hit a.
48:00
Is it a predator? Call.
48:01
It's like a varmint call, yeah. I've seen guys do that.
48:03
I'm like. Yeah, you hit that squeal.
48:06
And sometimes and they just run in.
48:07
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes you gotta be tough.
48:10
With the blow, you have that thing just barreling in on you.
48:12
You're just like. They do barrel in too.
48:15
Oh my goodness, those things run like a bowling ball.
48:18
As far as finding the one that's sitting still is like half the
48:21
time the hard part. I think, yeah, I think you'll
48:24
very much enjoy. Pretty bad, yeah.
48:27
And it's a what is it? Just one big.
48:28
Glance. Yeah, they back, Yeah, they
48:30
smoke a little bit like a skunk, but like a little different.
48:32
But it almost got blasted by a skunk right in the kisser on
48:35
this trip. Yeah, 5 feet away and he is
48:38
ready to go tail up. I was like.
48:41
Skirt. Are you seeing a lot of them
48:42
right now? We always saw one skunk.
48:44
Yeah, like this time of year it's like sometime during deer
48:46
season, I feel like I see a lot more skunks than normal.
48:49
I don't know if it's like they're breeding lot of coyotes.
48:52
There's a shit ton of coyotes. I tried to.
48:54
I tried. That my did you see my post?
48:56
No, with my my buck that I just shot.
48:58
No. Oh, yes, yes.
48:59
I didn't see it. Yeah, sorry.
49:00
Yeah, it was crazy. Insane.
49:02
That was maybe 8 hours gone. Gone.
49:05
And like they didn't leave anything.
49:08
It was nothing but the head. Now that's crazy.
49:12
That's crazy. But I was so bummed out.
49:15
Yeah, that's a bummer cuz the meat's so good.
49:18
The meat that butcher the deer out here eats so well.
49:22
Do you still use that same butcher or are they still?
49:25
Yep, just dropped Anthonys buck off.
49:28
We have run out of that meat probably a little while ago now,
49:33
but we sparingly used it because I loved it.
49:38
So I have never, and I don't think we'll ever find another
49:43
butcher as good as him. It's nice because he's like,
49:46
I've been back there when they're prepping it all up and
49:48
they're cutting the jalapeno. You can tell, yeah.
49:51
It's all fresh, the cubes of cheese.
49:54
It's like. The meat is amazing.
49:56
It is very expensive, but it's very good.
49:59
Very, very good. I mean you're literally going to
50:01
pay probably double like a normal butcher, but I think it's
50:05
worth it. Almost like it's really good.
50:07
Butchers have gone up though, like by us, I've he's probably
50:10
pretty Dang comparable now and like, no, no.
50:14
No. Didn't they get boned out
50:17
though? Or was it not boned out?
50:19
Quartered. Quartered So you didn't bone it
50:21
out. I think that's that's probably
50:22
where cuz usually I'll take cuz off these deer you get 3040 lbs
50:27
of. You bring boned out, boned out.
50:29
I'll do that. This.
50:30
Time it's usually around 150 to 180 bucks somewhere in there.
50:34
With how much jalapeno cheddar whatever that I had like 40 lbs
50:38
or something? So you probably did it all as.
50:41
That was it was cuz ours was double.
50:42
It was 300, but it was. No, it was like two 250
50:46
something. Yeah.
50:46
So, yeah, yeah, that's about it. Cuz I think boning out it's like
50:50
maybe a dollar, $52 a pound was for him to do.
50:53
It yeah, so maybe that's why I don't I don't know.
50:56
But yeah, anyway, it was worth it.
50:57
It was really good side of the road.
51:01
But anyway, with that being said, kind of a roller coaster
51:04
of a pod. I did thoroughly enjoy it.
