0:00
New new podcast right now super excited.
0:02
We got Brianna the O the OG podcast Co host enjoying her
0:07
Diamond Head Hawaiian purified water and My Guy Andre, Mr.
0:14
Privilege to bow Hunter. So folks.
0:17
Out here and we're at Bushwhacker Archery Club.
0:23
Fun spot. We did a little battle today.
0:25
Oh yeah. How'd it go?
0:27
Break it down. James was looking at my He's
0:33
looking at my site tape and. Quite a bit.
0:37
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
0:39
Other than that, I lost first, she lost second, and he clearly
0:46
won. But what's most important?
0:49
Most importantly though, we had a whole heck of a lot of fun.
0:53
And I really like, I mean, you'll see in the video, but I
0:56
really like the range here. It's got some really unique 3D
0:59
targets that are custom but yet really good and really cool with
1:04
very consistent size like scoring rings, which I think is
1:07
neat because a lot of times those custom targets are kind of
1:10
hit or miss as far as like the scoring and these were legit so.
1:14
Yeah, they're, they're geniuses out here.
1:16
Like Willie is the club president here.
1:18
He's been running it like before I was shooting and they get a
1:24
group of guys out here and gals and there's a there's a main
1:27
couple I'm blanking on their name right now, so please
1:29
forgive me. They'll sit over here and I'll
1:31
have a whole working party going, you know, freaking tear
1:33
off the little canvas that will repack, remake and they make
1:36
these shapes from scratch. Just their imagination and
1:40
whatever materials they can find.
1:41
That's what I was most impressed about.
1:43
What's the like, the shape of like, the legs and arms?
1:47
Yeah, that they had like to be able to stretch that fabric or
1:54
or cut it in a size of what a that it's going to create.
1:56
You know what looks like a a thigh.
1:59
He's got a thigh and then he's got a little paw and like they
2:03
shape them really well for cutting it out of just can't be.
2:08
Look at the lion with the long freaking tail.
2:10
Like they put some time and effort into that that I prop.
2:15
You might have to pack that stuff down into the tail.
2:18
Like, what do you got a little stick that you're just shoving
2:20
it down there and. I think they maybe they rolled
2:23
it I. Don't know.
2:27
That does take time. So I think they're super cool
2:30
and the little tiger one was probably my favorite.
2:32
We didn't even shoot it, but it was very.
2:34
Target. It was cool, yeah.
2:36
Little little target was was super neat.
2:39
Yeah, I liked it didn't happen like the real axis steer
2:41
antlers, the ranges, you know, beautiful setting.
2:45
It's it's awesome out here. And we, we haunted one of your,
2:50
one of your spots that you like to go to and I'll drop the GPS
2:54
coordinates right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 21
2:57
degrees 21° N, 157° W There you go.
3:01
Yeah, talk about some terrain, though.
3:04
Like I mean harsh terrain, but I enjoy it.
3:09
I mean, it's probably realistically like the steepest
3:12
country that I've haunted. Like you're hunting Cliff bands
3:16
basically. How's that like because you're
3:19
relatively you were at bow hunting.
3:21
I mean, you can kind of go through how you got into it when
3:24
you started, but like to cut your teeth on that stuff is the
3:28
real deal. Yeah, I mean, it's so super
3:32
steep. It's not just steep, but it's
3:33
like steep and dangerous. Like if you slip, if you fall,
3:38
you're talking in some places it's 2000 foot trop off was.
3:43
That what you meant when you said like that lava rock is just
3:46
not stable and I trusted it would be the biggest rock, like
3:50
a a a small boulder size rock. And that thing is just it's not
3:55
sticking. They don't weigh a lot at all.
3:56
Like I probably could have picked, picked up a lot of them
3:59
that would have normally looked like I could have, I even budged
4:03
it and could have actually picked it up with two arms.
4:07
They would just wobble. And then you get into like the
4:10
small chunks of it that's like shale but bigger.
4:13
Yeah, but if you just slip. I almost watched like one of my
4:19
best friends die up there. So I'm at one spot a little bit
4:22
further uphill and Jaycees. So as we're going, he sees some
4:27
other goats and he's going to go after him and it looks like a
4:30
very, very substantial rock. And then it just goes from
4:34
underneath him and I'm like, Oh my God.
4:37
Thankfully, Jay Masterson, shout out to you if you're watching.
4:40
He's part goat. He like figured out a way to do
4:44
his ninja magic and he he like caught hold of something.
4:47
But yeah, it, it, it rolled away.
4:49
So we were, there was a point in time, like you said, cutting my
4:53
teeth out here. We were up there probably every
4:57
weekend. We at least if we were like, not
5:03
if we were not like out of here for work.
5:06
If we were all in and there was a weekend, we would go up Pokua
5:10
KR and we would hike and we would hike.
5:13
We would dodge. We would dodge the bulls, we
5:15
would dodge the dogs from the dog hunters, whatever other
5:19
crazies we run into and then we make our way up there.
5:22
So. Yeah, I mean, dude, the stuffs
5:24
it's definitely have haunted steep stuff like in Utah and
5:29
Montana, Arizona, some really steep stuff.
5:31
But that's just like this. That particular spot is just
5:35
different with those man's and like we went up after these
5:39
goats and you don't even like realize really how steep it is
5:43
until you go to like glass something or like pull your go
5:49
pack like I'm pointing straight up my arrows bouncing off the
5:53
rest that almost. And then when you turn around
5:56
and come down, you're like, well, yeah, this is this is very
5:59
steep. It's worse coming down.
6:01
Oh, for sure. Yeah, way worse coming down.
6:03
Especially all your stabilizing muscles are all tired.
6:06
But that's why I love like I love living out here in Hawaii
6:10
and bro, these, these Hawaiians, these locals out here, they are
6:14
just built. Everybody says build different.
6:17
Some of these guys will just bound up that mountain like like
6:20
it's nothing from straight from the truck and they're just
6:23
moving like 45 minutes. They're up there.
6:25
Yeah, yeah, it's awesome, dude. 45 minutes.
6:30
Crazy man. So how so you What year did you
6:34
get into archery? Do you remember it?
6:36
Was around like either 15 or 16. 20/15/2016 So you almost say
6:41
yeah, so like a decade in basically.
6:43
And then when did you pop your first video up on YouTube?
6:47
Do you remember? Probably 20/20/2020 it was.
6:52
It's hidden that video. You will never see it.
6:54
Yeah. So it was, it was a video and I
6:59
really only put it up because there was a question that there
7:01
was something I was trying to figure out.
7:03
Nobody else said. I couldn't find the answer on
7:05
the interwebs. So once I figured it out, I just
7:08
Crystal's holding probably Amari.
7:11
Yep, baby Amari and she's like kind of cooing in the
7:15
background. Video is super shaky and
7:18
unstable and it went up to like 3000 views but no edit, just
7:22
like straight up raw video upload.
7:25
And I was like, OK, I think people have the same curiosity,
7:28
or at least the things that I'm curious about seems to make
7:31
decent content and just start plugging it in there.
7:35
That's awesome. Yeah.
7:37
Did you? I mean I know you haven't posted
7:39
on YouTube as much recently. I think your last video was like
7:42
7 months ago when I looked. But you've been like you said
7:45
doing YouTube for a long time and you've done a lot of videos
7:48
for sure. Do you enjoy the process of
7:52
actually like filming and editing?
7:54
Do you like that and your it's into Dollar Tree?
7:56
I do it's, I say I'm kind of like a Monstars.
8:01
I like to absorb people's comments.
8:02
So if I meet you and we spend enough time to you're like
8:05
really good at editing, I'm going to pick you right.
8:08
My buddy Chris, he's got a really, really artistic eye.
8:12
So he would like before he would just like film and he we would
8:17
edit and then I would just think his brain fig his brain.
8:20
And then I started making video that video.
8:22
But yes, yes, I just kind of like the I like to see like a
8:28
bunch of video clips on my phone that's a jumbled mess because I
8:32
didn't storyboard it or anything 1st and then turn it into some
8:35
decent appear. Yeah, I like that too.
8:37
That's super cool. What's your favorite video that
8:40
you made? Regardless of like few numbers
8:43
or anything, you put a specific video that you're like, I'm
8:47
proud of that one or I really like that one.
8:54
I don't know, I mean, probably that's kind of, that's kind of
9:00
hard to say my favorite video because it was just such a good
9:03
time. Maybe it it wasn't the best
9:05
video product, but a hunting video that I did on the big
9:09
aisle with my buddy Arthur. I met this dude online like I
9:13
met y'all and I went to go and stay at his place.
9:17
He opened up his home. He didn't have to.
9:20
It's him, his wife and his three daughters, right.
9:23
And he after we talked for a while, he trusted me enough to
9:25
open up his doors to me and it was just a good time just
9:28
talking story. His students got like a he's
9:32
completely self-sufficient over there.
9:34
And that's kind of what I would like to do once I retire.
9:37
He has the big greenhouse, he has all his vegetables, He's got
9:41
all the pigs. He can hunt, he can go.
9:43
He'll go shoot a couple of cows a year like Uncle, I call him
9:47
Uncle Arthur. He is living like 1 dream.
9:49
So that's probably my favorite one.
9:50
It's a it's a go hunt over there.
9:52
That's hot. Yeah, that is fun.
9:54
I, we were talking about that on, I think the first day here,
9:57
we're drive with James had one of Rogan's podcasts up and
10:03
they're talking about like stats and like the Amish community and
10:06
whatnot. And I was like, you got to think
10:08
about it like even if you choose like cut sugars and artificial
10:13
things out and whatnot, if you're purchasing your chicken
10:17
from the store, the amount of pesticides that and, and
10:22
chemicals in that trick, it's food that you are then
10:26
ingesting. And we like think about the
10:28
amount of issues that have popped up with like infertility
10:31
or autism and things like that. And I'm like, that's not just
10:34
from one generation, that's from multiple generations.
10:38
I grew up drinking that Michigan one.
10:42
So it's like I you know, I joke about it with shades all the
10:45
time, will pass animals or whatnot, and I'll be like can
10:47
scam chicken capco. It's like not but one day truly
10:52
that'll be the case. Because like if you can know
10:54
that your animals ate, you know, just the grass in the yard and
10:58
or where your eggs are coming from and where your vegetables
11:02
are and what you're putting on, choosing to put on your
11:04
vegetables like you can't help but I'm treat it around maybe
11:07
unless you really take it up and do some to it.
11:09
But at most like you're getting as close to natural and who said
11:14
at demos be can to where you you are not being affected by what's
11:20
in all of the foods out there now was crazy.
11:23
And they like to me like it's just a wild content of how many
11:27
generations it wouldn't take to wean back out the issues people
11:33
now have with like, I mean, what Rogan focused on was like
11:37
infertility, autism, but not but it's like it would truly take
11:41
multiple generations of like eating pure foods again before I
11:45
think you'd see a regress in any of it.
11:48
So I think it's cool that you guys and you guys had year out
11:52
for for go to pace out here. So you got a word for him, but.
11:58
That would have been so lame bowling, so here it just
12:01
slipped. It just slipped out of my
12:02
pocket. See that's oh, you got to have
12:04
this strap on problem is when you take it off that strap and
12:08
then you you lose it in another state.
12:10
But you guys, so you cannot goats and pigs year round here
12:16
on this island, on this island that's got to be kind of over
12:21
again. You guys talk about that too,
12:22
Like the amount of tries you could get at things Like you
12:26
would pick up exponentially faster than someone's who's
12:30
waiting to like live on drawn tags in the West Coast backfall.
12:35
Yeah. So I mean, if you live out here,
12:37
you buy your hunting license and then you go on.
12:40
There's no tax required. You messed up one weekend.
12:43
As long as you can get off work like every time.
12:46
Yeah, it was. I would go and find like 3 or 4
12:49
times in a week. And I had thank you, Crystal.
12:52
I said I don't know how she supported this, especially like
12:57
those first three years. I was hunting at least at least
13:02
10 * a month for cool year, straight psycho pace.
13:07
And she would just she wouldn't complain once, like once I
13:11
started shooting animals, then it would, you know, then it was
13:15
easier for her to justify. And then, but then, but then the
13:20
Amazon packages start showing up, right?
13:22
Because now I shoot something and now I need a meat grinder
13:24
because OK, and now I need a vacuum sealer.
13:26
And then and then, and then. And I remember the homies who
13:31
like taught me how to shoot and taught me how to bow hunt.
13:33
I was like, man, I can't wait to shoot an animal because I know
13:37
it's going to be so much cheaper than grocery shopping.
13:40
And the whole car went crazy laughing.
13:41
I'm like what that is? In.
13:46
Everyone jokes like. I think that is maybe one of the
13:50
most common misconceptions when you're new to it, especially
13:57
when you're waiting to draw tags and like, like James put in for
14:00
New Mexico, which is a lottery state.
14:03
And so you just put in for as much as you want and he always
14:06
goes in with the idea that maybe you'll draw 1, you know, And I
14:12
was like, well, shoot, that one's still going to cost me
14:15
$3000. Like, you know, if you divide
14:19
that over the course of 12 months or whatever, I mean, your
14:26
natural meat is not cheap. And that's not including your
14:31
processing fees if you're taking it to somewhat or the equipment
14:34
that it cost you to purchase. If you're doing it yourself,
14:37
your archery equipment that you have to pay for or maintain in
14:41
order to shoot that animal, you start adding all those things up
14:44
and it's like, this is not cheaper than Russia shopping,
14:49
but it's better for you. Since I like hopped into another
14:53
obsession that I don't spend I haven't spent any money.
14:57
Like I haven't bought a new arrow.
15:00
I haven't. I still have plenty of
15:02
fletchings like app. I realize my obsession with
15:06
archery is way more expensive than what it actually cost to
15:09
hunt once I you can buy a $500 setup right?
15:14
Get you a decent set of bra heads and you could really you
15:18
can reuse if you wanted to re sharpen.
15:21
I bet. All in all, 2 grand you could
15:24
probably go a couple years without spending another time.
15:26
Oh, he's I think you could even do less than that.
15:31
I mean, oh dude, because I mean a diamonds edge 320 is a more
15:36
than capable bow. It'll outshoot anybody.
15:38
It comes as a kit and it's like you're out the door 500 bucks
15:42
you go buy a dozen friggin entry level V force victory arrows.
15:48
You go get shoot, I don't know, Muzzies, some, some sort of
15:54
entry level broadhead, that stuff will shoot far better than
15:57
even I am capable of shooting. Or someone who's very good.
16:01
And then you just shoot stuff. You know what I mean?
16:04
Like I think you could. It's what I think down the
16:07
rabbit. Hole, I think with AI think with
16:09
$1000 you, especially if you're in a state like Hawaii where you
16:15
can get a license and hunt all the stuff year round.
16:18
I mean dude, I think $1000 could carry you like years yeah and
16:22
excluding fuel, you know, things that but but like dude, I think
16:26
I think hunting I mean, obviously, yes, if you're doing
16:29
a moose on or a Big Horn sheep hunter, a grizzly bear hunt like
16:32
you could polar bear like you can definitely drop money
16:35
hunting. But if you're doing that, it's
16:37
for obviously, yes, the meat, but also way more of experience,
16:42
you know, like a life experience, you know, But I do
16:47
think it's really cool. To your guys point earlier, the
16:51
amount of opportunity to hunt here because the only place I've
16:54
haunted like that is in Africa. You know, in Africa you can hunt
16:58
a lot of big animals at one time with just just going, you know,
17:03
like, and that's sort of like here.
17:06
And that's really, really cool. Like if you were a local here
17:09
and really wanted to become like an excellent bow hunter, you got
17:12
all the tools at your disposal because you can get so much
17:15
practice. Yeah, if you're new, this is the
17:17
best. I don't at this point, like as
17:20
long as I've been hunting at 10 years in, I don't think that
17:24
I'll. I don't know how many animals I
17:26
would have put down if I had to come up on the mainland hunting
17:29
because I would make a mistake. And literally two days later
17:32
I'll be right back out there and then or I'll fly to lanai
17:35
hunting. I'll fly to Lanai hunting axe is
17:38
there and that next month I'm right back out there chasing.
17:42
We get and again and again. Then I can't I get to catch them
17:45
throughout the year when, you know, when they're slick with no
17:48
headgear, when they're, when they're right before their shed,
17:51
how they're behaving is just different throughout the year.
17:54
And I get to catch all of those. I get to catch all of those
17:57
phases. So just so much data, so many
17:59
reps You can spot and stalk. You can get in the tree.
18:03
You can get in the tree. And then you can spot and stalk.
18:04
Like it's just hard to be for somebody who was never haunted
18:08
before. There is no better place to to
18:10
learn to hear. Yeah.
18:12
So target region. It's awesome.
18:13
It's really, really cool with also quite a mixture of terrain.
18:16
I mean, obviously here everything's for the most part
18:19
pretty big, but like I know some of the other places aren't so
18:24
gnarly, like so you kind of have a little bit of a, a mix of
18:27
terrain to hunt as well, which I think is really neat.
18:30
And then one thing I wanted to, I always like to ask guys who
18:35
shoot bows a lot, what would you say is like one thing that like,
18:41
let's say you're in a shooting slump or you're like, OK, I
18:43
really, what's one thing you always go back to that's like,
18:47
OK, as long as I think about this, then like my shooting will
18:51
improve. Like for me, for example, like
18:53
if I start shooting a little bit trash for like a target or two,
18:57
I know that if I consciously build extra pressure both front
19:02
and back into the bow really, really hard, try to break the
19:06
bow in half, I can usually break out of a slump pretty quick.
19:10
But just getting back in that. Do you have something like that?
19:13
I always remind myself to get big.
19:16
Are you going to start getting here for all myself to get big
19:21
same thing I like to cut to or take guys.
19:23
You get a single leg got to step over leg get big, get that leg
19:25
all the way up there. And so once my if my shoulders
19:28
are wide when I shoot, it breaks like I don't even think about it
19:31
once everything starts slumping, especially this wind starts to
19:34
play tricks on you. So the bows doing all this and
19:37
you're holding through it. I feel my body just started to
19:40
to cave over. So just good posturing.
19:42
That's a. That's not what.
19:45
That's all. Get big.
19:48
That's good. Well, it makes a lot of sense
19:50
too. If you think if you, if you, if
19:54
you think about get big and what I said, build, build more
19:59
pressure. Essentially it's the same thing
20:01
but with two different mindsets. Because I totally agree you when
20:05
you're holding for the wind a long time, you'll feel your body
20:08
collapsing before you know what you're like.
20:10
Before you realize that, you can almost see your elbow here at
20:13
the corner of your eye. I like that though, because like
20:15
for some people, they don't understand building pressure,
20:17
but they might understand getting big.
20:19
So it's kind of two different ways.
20:21
What about you? Do you have something like that?
20:32
Yeah, that's about it. I'm not a yeah, you know, I've
20:38
been shooting for quite a while and I still I just to prefer to
20:44
a happy fun phase at that point. So I don't get it to see face
20:51
and and usually after a little while, I kind of forget that I
20:54
was caring and so that I can go back to actually trying to like
20:59
practice shooting good again. And usually I I get back into
21:03
it. It's when I allow myself to
21:06
fester in it. So like if you just got to pull
21:08
back and like for a few targets, just have fun.
21:11
And like, even if you pull yourself out of not physically
21:14
out of whatever game you're playing, but like out of the
21:16
mindset of like, I'm going to get a 12 early, I'm just going
21:20
to shoot for, but put my pin on it and I'm a hold it, pull
21:24
through. But that's like just a mindset
21:27
thing. You just got to talk to yourself
21:29
while you're shooting. And the conversations that
21:33
happened afterwards, like don't focus on the shot that just
21:35
happened. Like, I don't care what I get.
21:38
I just shot cool. Someone pulled my arrow, so I
21:41
don't even I don't even need to see it and just boom on.
21:43
And then after a little while, they kind of forget about her
21:46
slump and get that to it stops. Bad, No, I think that's good as
21:53
well. I mean, I definitely, I have
21:55
seen a trend in competitions especially, but even just friend
21:59
competitions like today or like a attack or something.
22:03
I have noticed that a lot of shooters once they have a bad
22:06
shot or two, forget about it, do their mindset very hard to get
22:09
out. Oh, yeah, they can't get out.
22:11
And the good shooters can like make a mistake and just like get
22:14
back on the trend and like, be good again.
22:17
That's it. You just got to get back on it,
22:19
you know? But yeah, man, this is fun.
22:23
I'm I'm glad we got to link up and, and shoot some sticks and
22:27
go on a little hike. And we're going to do more while
22:30
we're here. But what has been you've been
22:34
out here 15 years in Hawaii, right?
22:36
A long time. What is your favorite thing
22:40
about living out here That may be aside, let's let's eliminate
22:44
the hunting aspect just like more lifestyle.
22:46
What's your favorite part about living out here that, you know,
22:50
maybe would surprise people or people wouldn't think of when
22:52
they think? Why the people are so good, Like
22:57
I live so I, I've never, it's only been a short time where I
23:01
lived, like in the military community.
23:03
I live like we call it out in town, right?
23:06
I've always lived out in town and I've always been shown so
23:09
much love. If I had to leave, my neighbors
23:12
would always look out. They grab a trash can for me.
23:15
They hit the lawn with the weed wagger if I need it.
23:19
Like if you show, if you show the people Hawaii love, they
23:23
will show you so much love. They will feed you until you
23:27
can't eat anymore. They call everybody's auntie,
23:31
everybody's uncle. What I like every time I will go
23:36
back home on leave and if you just hesitate a half second of
23:39
delight, everybody's laying on a horn.
23:41
Nobody's doing that here. So just the.
23:44
Except for when James steps out in the front of traffic at a
23:46
green light. He looks at the green light and
23:51
he ranges with fights. And so he steps as soon as he
23:54
sees the green steps right into the cars that are stopped as
23:57
they hit the gas, they're like, what are you doing buddy?
24:00
The white dude just stepping out in front of the locals traffic.
24:03
I'm like. Well the funny part is they
24:05
actually didn't even honk till like 45 seconds later.
24:08
Yeah, it did. It was actually the car after
24:11
the car that almost hit you that honked.
24:13
It was really that that is good. No, like like going a lot lanai,
24:19
my buddy Rick Shane, whatever I need.
24:23
He just he just freaking hooks it up and the people in like the
24:29
archery community here, not like just my thing, not just shooting
24:32
archery, but if you're at like YP or archery range, you happen
24:36
to leave your vehicle open, you're probably going to be fine
24:38
there and they're probably going to watch out for you.
24:40
So it's just a real sense of community.
24:43
Our churches out here. We we connected with this church
24:46
right when we got out here because what, 4000 miles away
24:50
from home? Don't don't kill me in the
24:53
comments if I'm if I'm completely wrong, but nobody
24:56
like nobody to watch us. And then having like pastors
24:59
wife to kind of be adult parents for us out here probably kept
25:04
our marriage alive too. So, yeah, it's just a big family
25:07
out here. That's amazing.
25:09
Yeah. Well.
25:09
You got to think like you were young, obviously first coming
25:14
out here and so you're stepping away from any form of family,
25:19
whether you're close to family or not close to family.
25:21
Like you just secluded yourself on a small island 2000 miles
25:25
away from the mainland with just you, your wife and nothing else.
25:31
And you're like. In a studio apartment.
25:33
Yeah, hope you enjoy. I'm going to go deploy, find
25:36
something to do like, you know, finding a sense of any sort of
25:40
community, you know, be at the church at 1st and then now
25:43
finding the archery community, like and now the Jiu jitsu
25:46
community. Like you find your way,
25:48
especially in the military when you really do seclude yourself
25:51
at tides unintentionally, but because of work to to find
25:56
somewhere to make friends and make family, which is vastly
26:03
important because otherwise, like it's just you, your
26:05
partner, and you're taking it out on each other.
26:08
Oh my God, them years and that studio apartment was a while.
26:13
And the real test of faith. Yo listen fro marriage there
26:18
from a non fro y'all y'all are. I know you gave up.
26:22
So I put shorts on the other day for that hike.
26:24
Literally never put. I got cuts all over my legs and
26:28
I was sweating. So I'm like, I'm not putting
26:29
these pants on. So I'm going up there all the
26:31
way to these goats in these shorts.
26:34
That is what I did. You know, like having a in that
26:37
studio apartment, you can't just go in another room and act like
26:40
the problem isn't there because the kitchen's right here, your
26:45
bed's right here, everything's right here.
26:46
So you're like, OK, we might as well look at each other and talk
26:49
this thing out or else we're just going to be mad.
26:51
Walk in the apartment. Luckily, I'm with the biggest
26:57
communicator in the world. He never wants to stop talking.
27:02
He goes to bed and he's like, I want to go to sleep.
27:10
Yeah, that is. That's good, though.
27:12
It's, it's much needed to find places to fit in and, and feel
27:18
like you can, you know, learn something and then meet people
27:22
and whatnot. Now my question is like, you're
27:27
basically a local at this point. You have.
27:30
Trouble here and. They're like, no, you're, no,
27:33
you're not. You've been here 15 years,
27:35
though. That's a long time to be again,
27:38
thousands miles away from the mainland.
27:41
Do you feel at a very off topic, kind of like, do you feel like
27:46
AUS citizen, like living like just on the tiny island?
27:50
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
27:52
I guess the military probably changes a little bit, though.
27:55
You know, I wonder sometimes for like people who live here, like
27:58
they're especially like, like, you know, with lots of the
28:02
hotspot. Let's talk Hawaii, I guess.
28:05
Like if you never take a flight back and forth from the
28:08
mainland, it's like do even connect I guess with this whole
28:14
other entire. So the problems your country, so
28:18
the problems that everybody has on the mainland, I ain't got
28:21
none of that stuff here. Like some of the stuff that,
28:24
like the political stuff, the tensions left, right, like I
28:29
don't, I'm kind of blinded to all of that out here.
28:33
That's got to be fantastic, yeah.
28:34
It's like if it wasn't for social media.
28:37
That's so different. And you're like, well, OK, this
28:41
is different from this one, this different, oh, new problem that
28:44
this one and you get to see it all from state to state and how
28:47
vastly. Different from that aspect, I
28:49
am. So I'm so dialed out.
28:51
Yeah, Yeah, it's nice. Yeah.
28:53
Well, yeah, I mean, I, I, I see what Brianna's saying.
28:56
Like obviously Hawaii's part of the US and part of the States
29:00
and. Everyone but you're proud.
29:01
Here, but I get what you're saying.
29:02
It is, it is like a separate thing just because of the not
29:06
being conjoined. Same with Alaska.
29:08
You said the same thing about Alaska because it's way up there
29:11
by Canada. They're like closer to Russia
29:13
than a lot of US, you know what I mean?
29:15
Like just kind of like it's, it's just a different thing, you
29:19
know, but it's still a part of the whole.
29:21
Speed. But I thought about it, the
29:22
island time. James knows I'm not like a go,
29:26
go, go. I love that.
29:29
I feel like I don't care if it takes you 20 minutes to make my
29:32
fast food like some people make. I'm a big fan.
29:36
Like I just like relaxing. Oh, I really.
29:39
Have enough. James does not.
29:41
And I'm just like, you know, like you kind of go at your pace
29:45
and like, it's just calm, I guess.
29:48
Like nothing is calm. Wait it.
29:51
Is you do get a lot of traffic here because it's so
29:53
overpopulated. You got every branch of service.
29:56
Every branch of service is here on this island.
30:00
So you can you can tell. If you want to see how
30:03
fast-paced this place can be, go to Costco.
30:09
That I feel like it's a Costco standard right there.
30:12
Sam's Club is probably even worse.
30:16
Yeah, man, it's it's awesome out here.
30:17
I'm super, super stoked to be out here.
30:20
We were just out here a few years ago, but never with the
30:23
bows. So it's the first time shooting
30:24
on Hawaii or hunting on Hawaii. I am oh for one on on goats
30:29
shots so far, but I'm I man how? Close.
30:34
Did you get? A shot for 61 and it was like.
30:37
What was the? What was the first like the
30:39
upper number? I don't remember on that
30:42
specific shot, but it was so steep that one of them was 122
30:47
yards. Shoot for 77.
30:50
That's how steep it was. It was like straight up.
30:53
So when I drew, I mean, I was so contorted and like, it was just
30:57
so steep and it was really, really cool and stuff.
31:01
It's like, and you never really get good footy, Dyke.
31:05
No, you're not. You're not out here at at the
31:07
range. Well, OK, all right.
31:09
I like my back foot slightly ahead.
31:12
And then they know all of that is out of the window, completely
31:16
out of the windows, a whole different ball game.
31:18
And luckily by the time I got that shot, I had really kind of
31:21
worked for quite a while. I kind of separated from Ria at
31:24
that point, just kind of got up and and I ended up getting it to
31:28
where it was. It was still very steep, but not
31:32
as steep as that one that was 122 to 77.
31:36
I think this one was like, I want to say maybe like 77 to 61
31:40
or something along those lines because I had worked kind of up
31:44
higher and made it to where the shot was kind of for across and
31:48
up rather than like straight up. And I mean, dude, it was still.
31:53
It's almost. Straight up you just, you got
31:55
to, you got to beat them to where they where they're low.
31:58
This is what I said. So I think, you know, chant is
32:02
also partly vacationing. I'm attempting to, but I also
32:06
really want to try to get a goat.
32:07
And I was like, Nah, I agree with Andre here.
32:10
We're gonna now I'm not parking my car outside that gate if it's
32:13
open, so I'll wait till it opens at 6:00.
32:16
But go through that gate at six, out the door by 6:15 and just
32:22
try to get as far as possible up the the mountain and just wait
32:26
and you can. Call a DMN.
32:27
R. You can hit them up, get the
32:29
number like the code to the gate and do a test run the day
32:33
before. See if it if the code works, see
32:35
if nobody switched here. And then if that works, you then
32:38
plan to your next morning to get up super early.
32:41
Because every time I've had success up there, it's always
32:45
get to where I know they're going to cross and then I'm
32:48
waiting on them and then here comes the highway.
32:50
Yeah, that's what I was like. I know he said it.
32:52
He's done it so many times that I was like, this is the way we
32:56
have to try at least once, you know, 1 early morning and go up
33:00
in the dark and you. Go so much better when it's time
33:03
to finally shoot. Like how did how did y'all's
33:05
bodies feel? But like getting all wizard
33:07
time. I know I've been in the shop
33:09
above and obviously he did but. No, I I felt pretty good.
33:14
I mean, I I part of the thing hunting with Brianna is that I
33:18
have to go quite slow for myself, right?
33:21
Like so I don't I wasn't like crazy fatigued or anything and I
33:26
felt fine. Like my legs feel good right now
33:28
when written and ready to do it again.
33:30
But like I think next time we've kind of talked about it, if
33:34
they're in that steep stuff again, I'll probably go up solo
33:36
like I told you in Hagger wake the camera, then I'll blast it
33:40
in about double the time. So like I'll be, I'll be fine,
33:43
like my Cardios and I'm not compared to some people, but
33:46
like for me it's pretty good. So yeah, I'm I'm excited for it.
33:52
But we found our good little little zone kind of like right
33:55
below where I got the shot. Oh, it's a bedding.
33:57
So there's a nice bedding area, like nice set of trees.
34:00
It's dark. You stop trails in there there.
34:03
There's a bunch of beds, you can see there was pee all over.
34:06
Yeah, I would just go up there and sit and like eat a sandwich
34:09
the way back. Yeah, if you worked up there and
34:12
just sat there in the morning waiting, like at least then you
34:17
can more optimally plan because you're already there.
34:20
Was the grass super tall right there?
34:23
No, we basically in the jungle. So my first, the first goat that
34:27
I shot was a nanny over there like we all were talking about.
34:33
And like I gave up on finding it.
34:35
I didn't really give up, but I'm like, OK, I'm going to sit down.
34:37
I'm going to eat and drink some water and get my mind right.
34:41
Jay, he keeps looking. He comes back, he's like, oh,
34:45
you found it? I'm like bro, don't play with me
34:47
right now. What are you talking about?
34:48
I turn around. The nanny was 7 yards behind me
34:52
dead in this tall grass, but says he came from over the top.
34:55
He saw it and that's how we found my first goat.
34:58
That was insane. No, we were in some stuff that
35:01
like, I think I may know where you're talking about.
35:03
So a little bit further to the right, there's like this huge
35:07
Cliff. Wall GPS This point it's about.
35:09
Yeah, on X maps. But no, like where we came up
35:14
was where it starts to curve and like it's just you can't see the
35:21
rock bands continuing inside of there other than the giant rock
35:24
that sticks out for you to see. But like you're just in nothing,
35:28
but you're under trees and and rock and shale.
35:32
And so like I wasn't gasped per SE because we had stopped a
35:36
couple times as we had gotten closer and we could hear them so
35:40
close. And but it got to a point in
35:43
there where we are hitting like one of the actual rock bands,
35:46
whether you're either going to have to climb up the rock bands,
35:48
like rock climb or parallel it and get to the point where you
35:53
can like curve and come up. And so that's what you today
35:56
will say hidden behind this kind of go and then work up.
35:59
And it got to the point there where like he got out in front
36:04
because I was happy to go so slow, so, so steep to make the
36:08
right steps because I'm. You don't want to.
36:11
Die nervous then he is. You don't want to die for £15 if
36:14
he did. No, no.
36:15
So I was going slow. We got to that point where I
36:18
guess he said that he had called me 3 times like whistle did
36:22
something try to get my attention to just go to film on
36:25
the phone 'cause he at fault the cameras.
36:26
At this point, it took the third time for me to even hear him and
36:31
so I just stopped where I was dropped my bow.
36:34
Like, you know, they still like this on some rocks and tall
36:38
grass and pulled my phone out and all my weights on my back
36:43
leg holding me up the hill. My front arm is holding a
36:48
boulder to keep some of the way off my back and and the other
36:53
ones holding the phone. And that's like all I got.
36:56
And so he shoots and then he's slowly safely trying to make his
36:59
way back down to me. I'm trying to keep the clip
37:01
rolling till he walks down to tells me, you know, tells us
37:03
what happened. And he sits down like, oh good,
37:07
he sits. OK, so I'm still holding myself
37:10
on to the and filming. I'm like it meant talking like
37:14
James that we got to move. This isn't working.
37:19
I'm my like my leg was starting to shake because all the weight
37:22
was back there. It remind me of when I did that
37:25
freaking Mount Peffery shot and like I shot nothing like this
37:30
uphill, but very uphill and and all my weight just the whole
37:34
time sitting there holding the bow on my back.
37:38
And you have not like you have an idea lots of people do not
37:42
well like what those incline cross hill shots do to you that
37:46
like when you don't have incline decline, whatever it's when you
37:50
don't have the footing sound like you're relying on like very
37:55
specific muscles and a lot. Less you feel your foot like
37:58
it'll just go like spasmic, just like you're trying to you like
38:02
what My body's never done this before shooting.
38:04
I'm not nervous. What is going you're?
38:06
It's just all spazzing out. Yeah, it is.
38:08
It's so tough. It is tough stuff here.
38:11
Like it is not for somebody to like leisurely say, oh, because
38:14
you can hunt year round. Like let's go for a weekend and
38:17
hunt goats in Hawaii like. I mean.
38:18
You can, you can. That doesn't mean you're going
38:20
to get go. It does not mean it, but yeah,
38:24
so you also can run dogs out here, which James has never
38:29
experienced before. I have run dogs.
38:33
I'm interested to take off hog cutting to the out here.
38:36
But if you don't, you don't feel like giving your opinion.
38:38
You don't have to. I I got.
38:40
It you know be. I personally, just having been a
38:45
dog runner in the past, I do. I do love it.
38:50
Yeah, I do. I know the dogs love it.
38:52
Is what they've been bred for generations to do.
38:55
So the dogs want to go use their mouses.
39:00
We would throw GPS because they'd have two.
39:03
They'd have a backup and the like the GPS.
39:05
Then we'd have a backup tracker on them.
39:07
That's more of like this, like satellite thing.
39:09
You just hold out like it get closer like your Airpod does.
39:14
But. But we're out there and we've
39:20
read the sign and it's like, oh, we can't dog run from heavier to
39:23
July. So like, we won't at least run
39:25
into any dogs. Oh, I don't know if it would.
39:29
Why? Would you run into why would you
39:30
run into dogs in June? Yeah, the sign clearly said no,
39:34
no, no. It's like gun.
39:37
Laws Brianna's trying to get me and Andre cancelled right now.
39:44
To be fair, none of these dogs had collars on them.
39:47
And so like, no collars at all, period.
39:53
And which, again, some people are brave enough to do that
39:55
because could be like some dogs are trained well enough or just
40:00
are smart enough. Like they'll come back home
40:02
after they've done run 10 miles. But they could have also been a
40:06
wild pack of dogs. Yeah, it could have been.
40:08
But these? It's dogs come up and if you've
40:12
ever seen dog running out east, we have like normal sized dogs.
40:15
And then some older people will run beagles because they're
40:19
small so they're easier to catch.
40:21
They're like this tall. And when you see a Beagle
40:24
running a deer and the deer came by like half an hour ago and
40:27
then you just see this little pack of beagles coming by, it's
40:30
like, and they're like covering like 2 feet every 10 seconds,
40:36
but their little legs are they're not catching that deer.
40:39
But so I'm James waiting for me to come down.
40:42
He's like filming a clip at me and then all of a sudden you're
40:45
and just like wild dogs, but they were tiny.
40:51
So I'm laughing, James, like I'm not about to get eaten by some
40:54
wild dogs. I'm like, James, I think we
40:57
could just push them and they'll leave.
40:58
And they did. They just ran off eventually.
41:01
Or trotted, really, because they were tiny.
41:04
They might have been wild like I see a lot of you have y'all been
41:07
to Guam so Guam's got this thing for.
41:09
Well, then, they're through the airport.
41:10
They call them loony dogs, right?
41:12
And there's literally just wild dogs everywhere.
41:16
And if one, all it takes, all it takes is one person to feed
41:19
them. And then they're like, they keep
41:20
coming back everything. So we tell the guys, well, we
41:23
head over to Guam, like do not feed the booney dogs.
41:26
But yeah, they're, they're everywhere.
41:28
And now, like, I think because of the homeless population has
41:32
grown so much, they will you will see a lot of homeless folks
41:35
with dogs out here. I notice that.
41:36
And so like a lot of places where I would go for a run, I
41:39
can't even run run that route anymore because it's so many
41:42
just wild dogs. That's what I think.
41:44
These ones were just hanging out together, but it was to me,
41:48
being an am, it was the most adorable thing because you just
41:52
got these little wild dogs rubbing in a pack together, you
41:55
know, like the Wild West and and James was like, I don't want to
42:01
get attacked. I'm like, yo, and all seven of
42:04
them attacked you. They might get your big toe,
42:06
but. I feel about that bluff.
42:07
Charge that was that was interesting, yeah.
42:10
So let's break it down. So so we're hiking up the hill
42:15
and there's some cattle. And I'm you very used to awning
42:18
with cattle, right? Yeah.
42:20
And these ones, I, I, you know, I whip out the camera, I'm
42:25
filming a little clip of them. And that sucker bluff charged me
42:28
from like 10 yards. Notice I kept walking When you
42:31
stopped, you were like, EW, it's got some interesting ears.
42:35
I'm like, oh, I wonder how the ears got like that.
42:39
These cattle fighting out here a lot like they must attack each
42:43
other. So this thing legit had no ears
42:45
like a fighting dog, like its ears had been bit off, chewed
42:48
off, ripped off like by whether it's brush other cattle, who
42:53
knows, but it had no he. Wanted anything that you were
42:56
ready to give him. Oh, 100%.
42:58
Yeah, probably rented to those dogs.
42:59
How many times? That dude was.
43:01
That dude was a scrapper. Oh sure.
43:03
And he was ready to go to your Oh, yeah, he was.
43:07
He's flexing up on me. He like Peacock in Miami.
43:11
Like Miami, he will run Jack. Yeah.
43:13
Ready to go? So we did run into another big,
43:16
big herd of cattle that day we were out there.
43:20
And this time, you know, James gave him a wide berth and all
43:25
the cattle eventually get up and walk off and sewer real slow.
43:29
We didn't want them to go running.
43:31
We're trying to make our way to these goats.
43:33
And one's just sticking in the back, like, like, come on,
43:36
buddy. And then James is up ahead, so
43:39
he gets official. He's like, it's the bull.
43:44
Same one. He no, but it was that he had
43:47
get a large set on him. And so I think he just really,
43:51
you know, he wanted to stay in his territory and he did not
43:54
want to give up. That tail was perked up like he
43:56
was ready to pee, poop, show us this was his batting ground.
44:00
And eventually he slowly walked away like with all sense of, you
44:06
know, this is this is my area. I was getting cocky with it too.
44:10
I walk up about 100, maybe maybe 60 yards.
44:14
He's standing there broadside, he not moving.
44:16
Every once in a while he looking over at me.
44:18
I go, come on, let's get going, get up there.
44:21
I start getting cocky with it. I said hey, if he turns, just
44:24
make sure you keep rolling the foot, keep rolling, keep rolling
44:27
the footy. And if I got to wear 1, you
44:30
know, we'll just try to talk and roll baby.
44:33
But yeah, it is good stuff. So we're excited to get back out
44:38
there, get a goat, Lord willing, and now have some fun.
44:43
We got to do some snorkeling, all sorts of fun stuff.
44:48
So it's been a great trip. We've got some time left, some
44:51
meat on the bone, as I like to say.
44:54
And by the way, I love the merch.
44:56
Are you selling these? Are you a website or just hit
45:00
you on Instagram? Just hit me on Instagram, I will
45:02
get it to you and. Instagram's privilege BH.
45:05
Under score, under score privilege under score BH.
45:09
A lot of people for some reason cannot spell quiz.
45:12
Still privileged. OK, PRI.
45:18
PRIVE. Dope.
45:23
PRI oh Li Dang it, I want to spell privileged.
45:30
I found out by taking this YouTube name that's only you
45:33
cannot spell privilege. That's the same with crazy, same
45:35
with disciples. Everybody spells it DE instead
45:38
of DI. That's.
45:38
Crazy. Read your Bible.
45:40
Read your Bible. Open up map maybe.
45:42
Maybe Newton? And a lot of time people will
45:44
leave out the, a lot of times people will leave out the S or
45:47
the C. Well yeah, I did that.
45:49
So fun fact, I ran the podcast logo for over a year.
45:54
Do it. Yep, it was both Dicapuls for a
45:58
full year. No one ever noticed it until
46:02
James did a before and after of the redo, it said.
46:06
Anybody notice a misspelling in the last logo?
46:08
Yeah, that logo was trash. Multiple times and I will go
46:12
back in and redo the graphic. We just I never went back.
46:15
I did it. Nobody noticed it until after we
46:18
pointed it out. But yeah, you know, read your
46:20
Bible to figure out how to spell discycles please.
46:24
So have you ever gotten to hunt the mainland at all yet since it
46:29
coming alone? Nope, it's all been away.
46:33
Been axis deer. I'm waiting for the invite.
46:35
And somebody can make that happen.
46:36
Mountain Creek can make that happen.
46:37
Mountain Peck? How's the javelina sound?
46:39
I'm down. Yeah, that's one of.
46:41
My favorites. We'll take him to that fame
46:43
mountain that mine was on. It's going to be like a cakewalk
46:47
repair to this for hits like You Fall This Deep.
46:49
That one's, that one is that 1 is so for sure.
46:54
But yeah, I would love to get you Avelina there.
46:55
That's my friggin and favorite. And you can actually, you know,
46:59
get A tag relatively relatively easily.
47:02
So that's nice. Yeah, I'm down the the next
47:05
phase of career like it should be.
47:10
I should be able to make these trips to the mainland.
47:12
Nice stop or especially starting next year, I should be able to
47:15
get over there. I've been my.
47:17
What's that? I love to hear it.
47:20
You also, you know, I think he got a rid motorcycles challenge
47:24
for sure, maybe a total archery challenge, possibly a bit.
47:28
And yeah, man, it's been a pleasure to hang out and meet
47:31
you and I love the merge. So definitely go to his
47:34
Instagram and hit him up for hats.
47:37
These things are fleeing. Love a good patch hat and
47:39
Richardson. Can't go wrong.
47:41
So subscribe to YouTube, you're back in the game, is that right?
47:45
I'm back in the game. I've been to revitalize IA
47:47
little bit about me like yeah, I will go down a rabbit hole.
47:51
And then like was it 2022? I started what?
47:55
I did a little bit of jujitsu before that, but then I did a
47:57
tournament in 2022 and no matter how much my kids and my wife
48:01
were like you got it Daddy. I like I won first match and
48:05
Gianoki and then I got smoked by the same dude in both and he's
48:09
just bouncing in the middle of the ring fresh and I'm
48:11
completely cooked And I needed to get I had to get my lick
48:15
back. And so I started training once a
48:18
week, twice a week, three times a week.
48:20
And now it's at like 6-7 times a week, twice a day.
48:23
Good Lord, that's a lot. But to come out here, shoot,
48:29
check out, I made 4 arrows. We were you got the you got the
48:35
the the the Jimmy down there there she is there she is while
48:41
he doing this. This podcast is sponsored by
48:44
Podium archer.com use code pump station to save 10% almost
48:49
website wide. So go get that up while we get
48:52
this wind fixed and. Well, you can't fix the wind
48:58
here. So we're getting the wind
49:00
blocker Jimmy fix can. Fix that.
49:02
And you can fix the wind. You just go.
49:05
You shoot before or after Brianna?
49:07
Yeah, if you shoot before or after Brianna, you have fixed
49:10
the wind. You know, at the same time as
49:12
me, because I swear that'll be, it'll be dead the whole time.
49:15
It's not like lulls. It's just dead.
49:18
And then as soon as I pick the foe up, it's like Hurricane
49:22
Martha is coming through here and the wind gusts.
49:28
Show show us these bad. I have revitalized.
49:30
Crystal was like, what are you doing?
49:32
I was sitting at the table. I brought out my little freaking
49:36
fletch kit. She's like, why are you building
49:38
arrows right now? Did you nocturnal?
49:41
I'm like, so we're about to go and shoot a little 3D challenge
49:45
in about 45 minutes. So I'll threw these all together
49:51
and I am back in the game. Quotes Hey, and you know what
49:54
the best part is? He came with four, he's
49:56
returning with four. They're all got 11.
49:59
They're all still money dude. Now let me ask you at the end of
50:02
those arrows do. You do your field tips have the
50:05
rubber grommet on them? Yeah, Nope.
50:09
So they come loose all the time or no?
50:11
Nah, I think, I don't know, maybe some action between the
50:15
foot area here kind of helps it to bite, but they I mean they
50:19
come a little bit. It's not like I'm losing them in
50:22
the target or. Anything.
50:22
No, but like they'll rattle on you A.
50:24
Little bit, yeah. Yeah, I always kind of.
50:26
Yeah, so they do. There's these field tips that
50:29
blow my mind, Dude, they have these rubber gaskets in them,
50:33
and those suckers never come loose.
50:35
Yeah, ever. I've I want something bad?
50:38
Yeah, I had some. I bought them from Lancaster a
50:41
while back. I just had them at 100 grand and
50:44
I would, you know this, sometimes you go matchy matchy.
50:46
And so since I had some of the other components, I just went
50:50
out with their frizzles. Well.
50:52
Now, are those wraps you have on the end of your arrows there?
50:55
Those bonings, baby. Yeah, I'm a I'm a I'm a boning
50:59
rap fan. I've tried a bunch of other
51:01
wraps. I tried a bunch of other wraps.
51:03
I've tried different colors, but bonings like straight up white
51:08
when you're glassing. Trying to see if you made a
51:10
decent shot. Just seeing that little bit of
51:12
red on the wrap. Just it gives me a little bit of
51:16
patience to stay over here and wait before I go and kick up the
51:21
owl. Do you feel that that wrap like
51:25
you know what's that? Do you feel that wrap?
51:28
Does it just out what your your FOC?
51:31
Is it just out the window because you threw that 6th grain
51:34
wrap on? The 6th grain wrap kills my FOC.
51:37
With this 600 grain arrow it's I can't.
51:39
Yeah, it. Just such an idiot.
51:44
I love it. It's it's become this meme
51:47
because for whatever I come from the East Coast, wraps are like a
51:52
normal thing, you know, like there's no big deal about a
51:55
wrap. You throw that thing on there.
51:56
You want some color to be able to find your arrow, see your
51:59
arrow, like, or you just think it's cool and pretty.
52:02
If you're a girl, whatever we threw wraps off.
52:05
I move out West. They're like there's clearly a
52:09
that rap is going to make or break your shot.
52:12
Your arrow is just going to hit the ground.
52:14
Your fock, it's going to be over.
52:16
It's it's you know, you have lost the right percentage.
52:20
You'll never be able to gain it back.
52:22
It's like that six grains. How about you just go from 4:00
52:25
to 3:00 Fletch and you're just fine there.
52:27
There's your 6th grades. Back but like the other.
52:29
Thing what if you already run 3? Then six grains ain't going to
52:34
kill you, buddy. So this is a, this is a family
52:38
feud you guys got going on right now.
52:40
She Brianna thinks it's a feud. For me.
52:42
It's not a feud. She just, you know.
52:44
There's just it's now become a thing because I'm not really a W
52:47
coaster, but now like we be. I've met a lot of West coasters.
52:50
They all like without fail, they all say the same thing.
52:54
They think raps are like, they're just like the worst
53:00
thing you could. I'm like, hey, you're I can't, I
53:03
can't get behind that. Six strings is going to kill
53:05
you. I can't do it.
53:07
Then your setup is not good. Go ahead and drop a comment
53:09
everyone in the comments and let us know if your team rap or team
53:13
no rap. Bro if you buy, if they buy all
53:16
of my bruised bow hunter hats I'll stop using wraps until
53:19
then. Yeah, shout out to, by the way,
53:22
shout out to boning. You know, friend of the show.
53:25
You got to love the Blazers. Good to hear the wraps are nice
53:29
maybe and they're easy. To take off.
53:31
Yeah, You know what I mean? Like when it's time to reflex,
53:34
it's that's just for me, like scraping glue off of the shaft
53:38
is annoying. I rather just hit us with a hair
53:41
dryer, pull it off, throw a new one on.
53:43
I'm clean. That's a good thing.
53:44
Clean this phantasis not pro Pro tips is full of pro tips because
53:49
that is a big complaint a lot of people have about wraps is that
53:52
Oh well, when I got a reflex like it's so much work to sit
53:55
there and scrape off the wrap. Pro tip, hit it with a hair
53:57
dryer. And try boning, possibly shut up
54:00
the boning order. Yeah.
54:02
So anyway, privileged bow hunter, if you want pro tips
54:05
like that, this is your guy right here.
54:07
Pro. Hunk ghosts in Hawaii wear
54:09
shorts, at least until you know it comes time to maybe put pants
54:13
on. I do recommend though, it is hot
54:15
when you hit that brushy jungle stuff.
54:17
But James is looking like he got mutilated a little bit out here.
54:21
You're all scratched on. Bro, the problem is is James
54:24
will not so we have a buddy back home who like he will purposely
54:28
if there's like a cat claw Bush or whatever, he'll walk around
54:32
the Bush like he is not walking his COO you material.
54:36
You may know who I've talked about by now.
54:39
And his boat through that catcloth, James.
54:42
Send it. Every time, I mean, we went
54:46
running after these Javelino this past January, sprinting
54:51
across the Canyon, down a drainage and back up.
54:54
And it was, I mean, when you got down there into the thick stuff,
55:00
James was just like mailing it through there, not stopping.
55:03
I came out, I thought my strengths were going to call
55:05
apart him bust because of how much cat claw we ran through.
55:09
And they didn't look good after that is for sure.
55:11
But so James could care less. He'll just run through the
55:14
thickest of bushes, whether it's covered in thorns, whether it's
55:18
like. It's not your problem is that
55:20
you get a shower, Yeah. Oh dude, it's actually pretty
55:23
funny. Like I'll have brands or people
55:26
go, oh, these these pants right here or these boots like you
55:30
cannot wear these ones Out I go. I bet within a week, within a
55:34
week I toasted those suckers. Dude, I bring in boots,
55:39
especially bro, I'll blow out boots so fast.
55:42
But I think it's because I hunt a lot of stuff like you have
55:44
here, rocky, steep and I like will go a lot of mileage for a
55:50
lot of consecutive days and rock I find we'll just blitz.
55:54
Side healing That's just going to tear this out of your poop.
55:57
Forget about it. Yeah.
55:59
And then pants. Same thing.
56:00
Like she says. I'm not too.
56:01
I'll blow right through stuff. So it's fun, but it's what you
56:04
got to do. It's the price to play, you
56:07
know? It is.
56:08
Yeah. It is what it is.
56:09
Here. My only downside to this trip to
56:12
Hawaii thus far. My only downside, And it's a
56:15
small one. It's not a big one, it's very
56:16
small. Possible.
56:17
Go right now the only my only. Is the parking is ass?
56:25
Yeah, parking is. Oh my gosh.
56:28
But they will tell you of it if you're coming to fly out here
56:31
and the hotel price is cheaper than the other ones.
56:34
Check if they don't include. Check if parking is included.
56:37
Or another protest. Another protest.
56:39
It is because I was, I was, I was sitting there bantering with
56:41
someone about it yesterday. I was like, why not just when
56:44
you rent the hotel? Like I don't even care if it's
56:47
more expensive. It's just like I don't want to
56:49
have to worry about an additional cost when I get
56:52
there. Like I just want to know the all
56:53
out price or forget it. Oh my gosh, look at that.
56:58
Is that ADC 10? That thing is huge.
57:02
I don't know what you thought that 1C3 this.
57:05
Is C5 or C130? Yeah, I'm not thinking about P3,
57:09
but that's just bigger than AP. Three, we have a gigantic
57:12
aircraft flying over. That's all day, every day.
57:15
That's a wow. They won't hear it on the.
57:17
No, they won't hear it. I'm just impressed.
57:20
But you know, we've been at this thing for over an hour.
57:23
For us is a very long pod, but I'm stoked that we're out here.
57:27
I've had a blast. Andre is badass, so definitely
57:31
check out his channel and we're going to link up.
57:34
We already have plans to link up in the future, so this will not
57:36
be the last time. And yeah, Javelina would be
57:39
awesome and then maybe another run across here sometime.
57:44
But dude bit appreciate the hospitality.
57:47
Yeah, I won't forget this time. My God is a queen of leaving me
57:52
hanging. She is she is, and I do have a
57:54
T-shirt. I I got to get you.
57:56
So hopefully we'll see you one more time this trip and get that
57:58
over and and do a little exchange of goods, a little
58:02
barter, if you will. I love a good old fashioned.
58:05
Bar have you ever get a big hunt in too for you?
58:07
Oh, that would be a big hunt. Oh I wouldn't, that seems like
58:09
something that might be more up my Cape.
58:12
Yeah. Yeah, we can.
58:13
We can. I'm still having try for these
58:16
goats. I'm still going to go up there.
58:18
Yeah, even if it's steep. My goal is just to get there in
58:23
the dark. We're in Gray light, you know,
58:25
or like get up there, sit and then way and start with the OR
58:29
host. They come right, you know.
58:32
They got read the right. You get there ahead of time,
58:34
they're going to read the. Screw well and I I guarantee
